Chapter2:
Tala's eyes flashed dangerously as he smirked, "Never thought I'd see you at Klara's old training spot." Kai turned his head to face his former teammate. He was smirking, and Kai was quite sure he knew why; his feet had gone cold as the blood had drained from his face.
"What do you want?" He said it harshly. "And what do you know about Klara?"
Tala's ears pointed themselves as if to adjust his hearing. "What do I know about her and what do I want? You're kidding me! You don't know?" Tala laughed. It was a clear jest, a clear mock. The laughter died away and Tala's expression became sharp. "Don't be stupid, Kai."
"What do you want?" Kai hissed the repeated question.
Tala jumped down from the oak tree and murmured, his expression somewhat cold. "You..." He trailed off. "She's in suspended animation at Biovolt. They're trying to treat her injuries but, it's not going well. There just isn't enough energy to revive her. You did this," he added, trembling slightly.
"Let's go, Kai! You and me, right now!"
Wolborg flew into the air and met with Dranzer a second later. The teens wasted no time calling their bit-beast in a jumble of words. Both bit-beast appeared and clashed. Kai was shocked to see the resemblance between Wolborg and Revenge. It was as though Tala had read his mind.
"Scared you, did I? Revenge was originally modeled after Wolborg but escaped. I was proud when Klara had become cold enough to tame him. But you took that away from her. From me." A tear strolled down Tala's cheek and for an instant, he seemed normal, vulnerable. But this soft side was instantly replaced by a cold exterior. "You're going to die because of that!"
Dranzer smashed against Wolborg and sent him flying into a tree. Tala was wrenched to the side.
"I said I'll make you pay. I won't break a promise," Tala whispered. "Wolborg...Blizzalog!" The wolf roared and sent hail flying at Dranzer, so that it skipped backwards upon the earth and wobbled, spinning feebly in place.
Blood surged to Kai's head as he filled with dread: Dranzer was going to lose. He was going to lose and be ripped apart by Tala's seething wrath. Seeing this, he flung out his arm, tracing an arc through the air until his finger came to rest upon Tala's face, which was now contorted with rage.
Dranzer burst into flames and met Wolborg's attack, head on. Light burst forth from the confrontation and the blow sent Kai reeling as he lost his footing. There was a thud of metal and the dust cleared. Dranzer lay up on the ground, inert and covered in dirt. Kai swallowed, fear gripping at him as his heart jumped to his throat.
Dranzer's bit-chip was blank.
Tala reached out, smirking, and grabbed Wolborg. He ran a hand through his hair, pulling out the bits of earth in his matted hair. "Game over," he said. The smirk became a maniacal grin. He walked off, laughing madly to the heavens, and then disappeared. Kai clutched his defeated blade.
"No. How can it be starting all over again!" he sobbed silently. "How...?"
