Oh boy, this chapter will be both confusing and meanacing. Oh, how I have waited to write this.
Happy mood today as the Latin results came out. It was much better then I had expected! Yay, I am super happy. Yet I could be a bit happier. Well, reason is that on Tuesday I have 3 major huge things for school. One exam (History: SWedish History from the Stone age to the 16th century.), One discourse (Rhetoric) and one book review (English, which I was not allowed to do when I was home being sick. They moved it to Tuesday... I am so doomed!)
Chapter 3
Revolutionary Beyblade Association
Wyatt was still laughing when he got back to his feet. "Not really... now you have raised the alarm you will have to be prepared for a mass attack. I guess, once you open that door the whole lot will be out there to fight you. I'd say, around 400 bladers, I think that should be the lot who is inside. You are lucky, that is a minor group compared to usual.
Smiling, the boy walked over to the door and opened it. The Bladebreakers all stared at it, not knowing what to do really. All their attention had turned to the mass of black cloathed people out there, waiting there. Waiting to beat the snout out of them!
"I don't know really what to say." Tyson said. "Well... good luck!"
Indeed, seeing this, they would need some luck. Heaps of luck if they wanted to survive. Boys and girls, teenagers in all ages stood watching them. The next room, yet another chamber, was packed with bladers dressed in the RBA suit. They four bladers got ready to launch, not daring to hope they could win all this. The floor, the ceiling, the walls, there were simply bladers all over the place except for one sole platform. The three guards stood on pillars, simply smiling. Tyson saw Kim stick her tongue out at him, which only made him even angrier. Wyatt and Alan chuckled.
Suddenly the lights went out and four shadows moved in the dark, filling the last of space. Tyson was rather startled seeing the people or the star bladers of RBA. The Dark Wings, or rather the ex-team Zeo. King and Queen looked like they allways had, Gordo hadn't changed at all. Zeo had been given a new costume, but who was to be impressed. Not him. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"Dark Wings, but that means..." Max began.
Indeed it was right. Another platform decended from the high ceiling.
This whole thing, was run by none other then Zagart...
The Bladebreakers all assembled together. Zagart raised his hand to give command for the attack. The Bladebreakers could feel the sweat run down their spines and their breaths quicker as they got ready for anything that could happen, now that they finally knew who they were up to. Their grip around their launchers hardened, their determination strengthened and their will to fight grew. The only weird thing was, nothing happened. Suddenly they could hear a faint laughter comming from one of the corners. Every head turned to watch a young pink haired girl on the floor, laughing. Banging her fists into the floor. From her pillar Kim sighed.
"That is the last time we are brining Emeline to the welcome party." she sid in a more normal tone. her eyes looked tired as four of the RBA bladers gently took their friend outside.
To the Bladebreakers astonishment blader after blader left. Even Zagart turned, giving some well needed instructions to Wyatt before he left. Wyatt smirked and then left, closely followed by Alan. King and Queen simply yawned and left, heading for business somewhere else.
"Now what is going on here!" Ray demanded to know, his mind racing with confusion. Zeo smirked, obviously not going to answer. He nodded towards to Gordo and the two of the left. Kim jumped down from the pillar she had been possing on, walked over to one of many doors.
"If you want your answers, then follow me!" she said mysteriously before leaving. The Bladebreakers hesitated this time before following her. To their relief this seemed to be one simple corridor and not yet another trick. It was a relief to find this corridor seemed peaceful, well as peaceful as it could get in an evil corporation.
Kim had taken a lab coat over her dress. How she managed to change so quickly was out of their imagination. The girl lead them down the hall, introducing the different chambers and halls. The labs, the training halls, the rest rooms, the dorms, dining room and café. Everything that seemed ordinary.
Everything seemed to be ordinary. She showed them the labs, were the newest blades were designed. Where the tests ran and even demonstrated one particulary slicing one. The training rooms, which was cramped with people, some even waiting in line. Different bladers stood blading each other. To their amazement they spotted Mystel among the crowd, slightly different then everyone else and easily spotted since he still wore his own clothes. He didn't blade right that moment, to their amazement he seemed to be instructing different bladers about the game.
"As older and more experienced bladers different World Class bladers works as blading instructors ad teachers at this place. BEGA joined us a few weeks ago and all of them has helped out a lot. Ming Ming has taken care of chourous classes and singing classes. In BEGA we believe that soe bladers becomes stronger by using their other abilities they love, for example dancing, sports, hobbies. It has shown a lot of wonderful results."
Ray raised an impressed eyebrow.
"If you want to know where the others are I think Garland takes care of combat classes, Brooklyn loves poetry so he made a Poetry club shortly after he came here, which he runs. Mystel and Crusher are normal instructors. Mystel often focuses upon offence and Crusher upon strong attacks. RBA works both as the new World Beyblade Unition as well as an International school for everyone who wants to get stronger."
She said the word stronger with a sort of smirk. There seemed to be some kind of expecting aroma around her, as if she knew something they didn't and they did not like it. Neither Kai, who had known her from earlier, could recognise her.
"Oh, and don't feel moddest Ray, that I beat you. I mean, compared to the others, i am an advanced blader and Wyatt and Alan has simply begun their training."
They continued walking through36 floorsof different rooms, all with beyblading and such. RBA seemed to have everything and as a lot of kids now lived here there was movie theatres, golf pitches, parks, swimming pools, game corners and much more. The shops weren't far away so it was an ideal place, if you were naïv. Really naïv to add, they all knew they were up to something.
Kim soon lead them to Zagarts office, which lay on the 56th floor. 10 of the floors belonged to the srudents, were they slept and such. Five more for the people working there, such as offices for workers and such. Then there was4 more for the star team Dark Wings,private training halls, their own appartments, offices, restaurant and much much more. Then at last there was Zagarts Office.
Kim led them through a long hall, with pillars on each side of the red carpet that lead towards two gigantic ebony doors. Kim walked first and knocked at the door three times. The two doors opened and she bowed letting them walk inside. as the doors closed they could see her walk away.
Tyson didn't know what to think seeing Zagart in the chair opposite of him. Hilary grabbed his hand to find comfort, she was nervous and trembling. Kai simply glared at the so called "Boss" as the Guards had put it. Ray and Max remained emmotionless as well, not so sure how to trust this guy. Indeed they would rather be back among all of those bladers getting beaten instead of standing here, right now, at this spot. Zagart seemed to be able to watch their very souls, something that was scaring as well. Chief was tremling and clutched his laptop to his chest. Zagart smiled, now a warm smile but a reassuring smile meaning he didn't plan to do something to them, not something devastating.
"I hope you enjoyed our little demonstration. Kim and my own son has told me a great deal about, your earlier adventures. Indeed, it all came as a surprise and as a great help. Don't you think this place has grown far more spectacular then that little corner, so called BBA." he laughed. "What do you think of my little wonder?"
Ray cleared his troat. "It sure is a sight, but nothing that impresses me."
Zagart stared at the raven haired teen, his right eyebrow raised. "Not impressing, fine then. Let me show you something that will impress you."
The mad man puhed a button on the desk. "Kenta, bring in the gifts!" he said clearly. A young man's voice answered saying he was on his way. Zagart smiled.
"I hope I can change that slightly." he said calmly. Too calmly. The sweat trickled down Tyson's spine, all his senses indicated something was really weird. Something wasn't right. he clutched Dragoon and hoped that this was yet not another trick. The elder man seemed to be able to see into his very soul.
A man, around twenty, came in with a locked suitcase. he gave it to Zagart before bowing. Zagart took it, unlocked it and opened it showing the content to the four bladers before him. Their eyes widened seeing shocked what Zagart had to offer. There lay four brand new blades, all shining and blooming of power. Even Kenny had to admire them, they all did, most unwillingly.
"These can be yours, on one condition. You see, every blader at RBA gets new blades, more powerful then the last. Yours, as I've heard the rumours say, were harder then most blades to improve since you are World Champions after all. But as you can see, my scientists seems to have stepped one step further then you by making these masterpieces."
Max took out his Draciel from his pocket. The chip glowed for several minutes as the two of them seemed to have some silent conversation. He put his blade back into his pocket and closed his eyes, thinking. Ray did the same. Tyson didn't even bother doing it, now he knew Zagart's plan.
"We don't want them!" he said. Zagart raised his eyebrow impressed by the younger man's quick decision.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"I said, we don't want them! It is foolish to try and lure us into joining your little scheme, your BEGA-copy. We don't want them, we would all hate to be part of something like you!" Tyson said even louder this time.
His teammates stared at them, but then they all nodded.
"Besides, it isn't the blades that makes the wins, it is the blader." Hilary added.
Zagart's smile turned into a glare. "Fine then, if I cannot persuade you to join I must tell you this. You are making one big mistake. You may leave now gentlemen, you can go and have one more good look around because until you will join me then there will be absolutely no entrance for any of you. Good day to you all!" he said. His chair turned towards some screens behind him. The Bladebreakers all got up and left, eager to leave once and for all. They had all had enough!
As they came out They saw Zeo waiting outside, polishing a brand new blade. "Leaving already?" he said with a grin. Tyson glared at him, not believing that once the two of them had been the best of friends and now they were once again enemies. But as far as any of them could see, Zeo had joined his fathers plans. Well, no matter what his name was also Zagart.
Zeo laughed walking pass them, "accidentally" bumping right into Hilary's shoulder. The girl gasped as the door closed behind. She proceeded to walk back and teach him a good lessons about behaving, when she overheard a part of the conversation. The door was no near soundproof, so she made a sign for everyone else to listen as well.
"I know what you are going to say, they need to be destroyed as soon as possible." Zeo said.
"Zeo, you know we cannot move in like that no matter how many bladers we do have. As far as we've come, only BEGA has joined in but what will BEGA be against teams like the White Tigers, Majestics, Psychics, F Sangre and not to mention the Bladebreakers." His father responded.
"Then we need to crush the core of it. Honestly, BBA must be destroyed and you know that as well. We cannot risk more time, don't you agree we should start with plan B right on?"
"I don think we need that. This ios a matter of survival my son. I am more of a businessman then you so please listen before you disagree. I have already sent Gordo to start on the plan of the information needed. Kim is also filling in details as we speak, the girl has proven to be one gold mine."
"I'm still surprised she is not on the team, thinking she is slaving for you day and night you know. Not to mention, without her you'd be dead already old man. Fine" he said after a while. "Fine, I'll listen."
"Then do so. I didn't send you up here fora simple talk. No, I need to give you the details for what is to come, and don't look at me like that. If the plan is going to work then all you have to do is to lead the team to voctory, no matter how many obstacles you turn down. Destroy them if you must. I will send over the invitation to BBA tomorrow as scheduled. What I want you to do is to make sure, that the team is split before we face them. Indeed I don't think that will be one big problem. Do you understand?"
"Yes father" Zeo said. "I do understand and you are right. Tyson, Ray, Max and kai are too dangerous for our plans."
"Good... Now you can go!"
There was a sound of a chair moving, but the Bladebreakers were already on their way back to the BBA office. The woprds still rang in their ears. Destroy... split... Do you understand...
"I hate that man!" Hilary said as they ran. "Oh God, what I hate him!"
That night the team gathered in Tyson's dojo, after having filled in reports about the RBA. Both Tyson and Hilary had written some rather nasty stuff about the place. Tyson about the place, Hilary about the captain of the Dark Wings' captain.
"Let's get some sleep!" Max suggested looking between the two angry teens. At least we all can calm down for a bit." he added smiling his usually hyper smile.
Tyson agreed at once, feeling he was rather tired after all. He showed his friends to rooms were they could sleep. Max and Kenny shared his grandfather's old bedroom. Ray recieved Hiro's and Kai his father's unused ones. His mothers old dusty room was not to be touched like allways, no one had probably put a foot there since she had died. Hilary slept in tyson's room. (Not in the same bed.) Max, Kenny, Tyson and Hilary went to bed at once. Ray stayed up a little while longer to write a letter to Mariah, to ensure her that everything was okay and to warn her about the new events. Kai had gone for a walk.
No one had taken notice of the figure in a hooded jumper and jeans. His face was covered by the darkness. he was pretty tall, yet not incredible tall. Kai stood by the bridge when the stranger came to him and started to talk.
Kai listened and his eyes grew wider for every word. Then he cursed some in Russian.
"So, what do you say Kai? Are you willing to join?" he asked.
Kai didn't say anything, but as the stranger took his hand out to shake, Kai grabbed it and shook it. White teeth shone under the hood as the stranger had succeeded in his task. They all turned away from each other, yet the smile didn't disappear from his face. Kai on the other hand didn't smile or glare or anything else. he was deep in thought. Silently he headed back to the dojo, grabbed his things and walked out to the dead night.
Next Day
"Kai! Kai! Where are you Kai!"
It was so weird. Kai was gone and he had disappeared without a word. They had been searching for hours, but not seen the single little hint that he was still somewhere nearby. There had been nhing left, as if he had only grabbed his things and then disappeared. They even wondered if they would see him again and no one could deny that they missed him. No matter how sour he could become he was still their friend and captain.
It was Hilary who found the first actual clue about his disappearance. There had been a man walking late at night with his dog, and he had seen a teenage boy run pass him. He had not seen the boy's face, but he could describe him rather fully. It had been Kai, they all knew that. And now they wondered what he had been running from. The man had said: "He spoke a very funny language, the lad. Said something sounding a lot like swearing and he mentioned, I suppose it mus have been a name. Borislav. Now, that seems quite funny, for me, I've studied names before. Borisslav means "fame in battle". Why curse a name like that?"
Yes, it was a mysterium and they had Chief to research upon it. But no matter how many databases he broke through it didn't matter. The only thing he could fine was a name. Borislav Kuzach, yet the information about him had been deleted long ago.
"Nothing guys, sorry to disappoint you." he said closing a very disappointed Dizzi.
Ray shook his head. "No worries Chief, we'll find Kai sooner or later and when we do he'll tell us. I hope s at least."
Tyson put his hands in his pockets, defeated. "Kai, where in the world have you gone? I guess I'll find you soon, buddy!"
the RBA Office
"I am very happy you have agreed to sign in, you have no idea what this means." Kim said excitingly.
"It's only temorarily, and you know that. Damn that BBA place, I've hated it all along." Kai answered trying to shake of the girl that isisted upon following him. Kim had a victorious grin upon her face.
They were standing in one of the many labratories, where a bunch of scientists made tests upon Dranzer, the new version. They even made it battle Kenny's blade and incredible enough the Diamond system seemed to be no match at all for the new blade, Dranzer Destruction System.
"There, all done Mr Hiwatari. You are now an official member of RBA. We have already picked a team for you. Shall we?"
Kai nodded. The doors opened to the lab and four boys entered. They all stared in shock.
"So, it's you again!" the shortest of them said.
"I thought you had had enough of us, long time ago!" the tallest said.
Tala smiled. "Welcome back to the team... Kai!"
"This stinks!" Tyson said sitting down at the BBA headquarters. The other ones agreed fully. The news about the new tournament had leaked out everywhere around the world, and people were adapting for the new Corporation. Ming Ming was once again the main advertisment as she had fans all over the world. RBA offered everything, blades, style, practise and cool looks.
Harold Blitzkovich suddenly entered the silent room, two boys following him. One of them had violet hair, with a red bandanna tied over it. Big earings, black clothes except for the blue shirt underneath his black jacket. Black leather boots and a launcher in his hand. He had red fiery eyes that scanned the room.
The other boy had red hair and green eyes. he too wore black pants, boots and a leather born belt holding up his pants. he also had red stripes on his cheeks. he wore a military jacket with a white shirt underneath.
"This," Harold said pointing at the violet haired boy "is William, and this" pointing at the other boy "is Danny. They will be your new teammates in the future. I have some really bad news about your old captain. it seems young Kai has become a traitor and joined with our enemies."
"No way!" Max said in disbelief.
"Why would he do that!" Tyson said out loud.
"Why care, traitors are traitors." Danny snapped.
The World Chapions suddenly closed their mouths, surely not liking this new attitude."
"Now now, Danny, don't be so cruel. It's not my fault we didn't have to choose teams." William said.
"I hope you have a nice chat. I want my boys in top shape!" Harold said leaving the room. Tyson didn't know what to say. he looked from Danny, to William and then back.
And now what?

And why not Tyson, I have a really evil plot for that. to say, kai is needed where he is needed. and to say, I've said too much now so thanks for reviewing!
Storms-winter
I certainly hope you won't kill me for this chapter. And did you really think I would let Kai loose that one? Kim, as I mentioned in this chapter, is slightly more skilled in the game then Wyatt or Alan, who recently started their traiing. Did you know what kind of troublemakers these really are? Horrible!
Z Star The Hidden Dragon
Wouldn't you be mad after having lived in a mental hospital.
