Chapter5:
The six teens jumped out of the helicopter and landed on the hard gravel. Tyson looked up at the wooden mansion and gasped. "This is kai's place!" Hillary slid open the door and walkd out into the sun. She smiled, "You're here! Already! Great!" She grabbed Max and dragged him inside while the others followed. "It's not much but, it'll have to do." Tyson twitched. "You call living in this mansion NOT MUCH!" She sat down at the nearest table and smiled earily. "Living in this place has turned her into a complete psyco." Tyson muttered. "I heard that, Tyson!" Hillary growled.
"Well, as you all know," she stopped short as she spotted the unknown, pink-haired girl. "Um, who are you?" she questioned rather rudely. "I'm Mariah. You must be Hillary. Nice to meet you." Mariah smiled back. "Your Mariah! Oh, I've heard so much about you from Rei's letters. Did you know Rei has a crus-" Rei slipped his hand over Hillary's mouth and dragged her to the back of the room. His temple was pulsing as he growled, "I thought you called us her to discuss the Klara problem, not to talk about my love life!"
Hillary walked back over to the group of teens and contined. "Well anyway, like I said, Kai's reliving Klara, so I thought seeing old friends would loosen him up." Tyson snorted, "This is Kai were talking about. The chances of him loosening up are less than me brushing my teeth."
Everyone slowly backed away from Tyson. "Oh, shut up Tyson! Now any questions?" Hillary said. Max slowly rose his arm. "How come when I asked if you and Kai were an item, you hung up on me?" he gulped.
Hillary's eyes turned to orbs of fire as she grabbed a broom. She chased Max out the door, whacking him all the while. "Anyone else wanna piece of me!" she yelled. Tyson's mouth slowly opened but, Max clamped his hand over it. "Trust me, you don't want to give her lip." he whispered.
Just then the door to Kai's room slowly slid open as he came face to face with his 'friends.' His usual hard expression was blank and his pupils were wide and expressionless. His tall blue hair sagged to his shoulders as he dragged himself over to them. They noticed how his skin, was ghostly white. His mouth cracked open, but no words escaped him.
"Why are they here?" he grunted. His pupils shrank down to normal size and his skin returned to its normal color. "Well, I least we know he's happy to see us." Max snickered. Kai growled, "Hey blondie, why don't you go make out with Mariam or something?"
Max turned a scarlet red as he stomped to the darkest corner of the room to curse. "Listen, we're only here to help you out with your Klara problem!" Tyson shouted. Kai remained in silence. Then he slowly muttered, "Get out. I don't need your help." Rei stood there unmoving. "You may not wnat it, but we're gonna help you none the less."
Kai stared him down and sighed. "I should've known you would try to pull something like this Hillary." Rei smiled. "So, what exactly happened?" Kai sat down as the rest gathered, exept for Max, who was still thoughroly angered.
Kai explained to them the simple truth of the matter. When he finished, he pulled out Dranzer. "The bit-chip's blank. So it's true then?" Mariam sighed. She griped Sharkrash in her palm. Kai nodded. "Well, it's pretty obvious that Tala has some sort of connection to her. All we have to do is find out what it is, and pry off that weakness."
Mariah added, "I don't get it. Why don't we just break into Biovolt and steal Dranzer back?" Kai looked up at her. "I would have tried that earlier, but the odds of four Demolition Boys armed with bit-beast against only one of me, didn't seem to well. Not to mention, the possibility of Klara awakening from suspended animation."
Tyson looked at Kai, wide-eyed. "So it's true then. She is alive. And that how they've been keeping her alive." Kai nodded in response. "The Demolition Boys." Mariah growled. "They will pay for their past deeds. The White Tigers must be avenged of course."
"I just can't believe it." Zeo muttered. "What don't you believe?" Rei asked. "Well, from what Tyson told me, Tala actually cracked a smile when he was defeated. They even shook hands. Anyone who smiles can't be all bad." Rei sighed, "That may be so, but Tala is one of a kind."
"Well, the odds of seven of us against four of them sound pretty good to me." Max said smiling, as he walked over. "So it's settled then? Today the BladeBreakers charge down Biovolt!" Tyson cried. "Wait! I forgot Kenny! I'll be back in five hours! Then, tomorrow the BladeBreakers charge down Biovolt." Max shouted as he hopped into the helicopter.
Kai watched it fly off as he solemnly thought to himself, "Dranzer, don't worry. We'll get you back."
