CHAPTER 6: New Power

Falborg and Serai sped toward each other. I had never seen Falborg move so fast. Without Bryan's control over his emotions Falborg had become stronger. The same had happened to Serai when Boris was using me. There was a look in Bryan's eyes that I hadn't seen for a long time. He not only wanted to defeat me…he wanted to KILL me!

Before I could think Falborg was attacking Serai. The only thing I could do was defend. Then out of nowhere Falborg lept back to the base of the hill, landing at Bryan's feet. I had seen this move before. As I suspected Bryan unleashed his Stroblitz attack. Blades of wind began pummeling Serai, slowly pushing him back toward the edge of the cliff behind me. In a desperate attempt I called forth Serai's Chained Ice Blast, using the chains to latch onto Falborg as an anchor.

'What am I going to do, I may be stronger then Bryan. But with his speed, I'm kept on the defensive. I guess this is the end for me…'

"I can help you Julie."

'Serai…how can you help.'

"But you have to trust me."

'Of course I trust you Serai.'

"You may think you do. But admit it Julie you don't really trust anyone."

'…'

"In order for me to help you. You have to trust me with your life."

'…I trust you Serai. You're the thing in my life that's always been there with me. I TRUST YOU SERAI!'

I could feel my body grow cold, but only for a moment. Serai began glowing an icy blue. Suddenly 8 icy copies of Serai appeared. While Serai's chains stayed attached the copies rushed Falborg. They surrounded and closed in on Falborg, trapping him. With Falborg unable to move Serai jumped into the air releasing the chains as he got above Falborg. Serai plummeted down onto Falborg, crushing him as the ice copies exploded.

With Falborg's defeat, Bryan returned to normal. He looked at me only for a second before collapsing onto the ground. I called Serai back to me, and took a step toward Bryan. As my foot hit the ground the rook beneath my feet crumbled. My fingers gripped a piece of ledge as I fell toward the ocean and rocks beneath me. The force of the battle had caused the cliff I was standing on to fall apart. I tried desperately to pull myself up.

However, I had not fully recovered from the month I had spent in the hospital and using my new power had taken a lot out of me. I didn't have the strength that I usually did. My fingers began slipping from the edge. I was ready to give up. Just then Kai appeared above me.

"Julie take my hand!" he shouted, extending his hand.

I grasped his hand with mine. With a quick tug Kai pulled me up over the edge of the cliff. As he pulled me up Kai fell backwards, with me landing on him.

"You know this is becoming a habit Kai." I comment as I touch my palms to the ground, pushing myself up.

"What is?" he asked.

"You saving my life." I smile as I look down at him.

"Julie…your eyes…and your hair…" Kai says wide-eyed, taking a few strands of my hair in his hand and bringing them forward so I can see them.

"My hair…it's WHITE!" I exclaimed.

"Half white actually." Serai piped in.

'That's not so bad. And what's up with my eyes Serai?"

"Their blue now." He answers calmly.

'How did this happened?" I ask.

"When you began to fully trust me our bond became stronger. Bringing us closer together. Don't worry Julie you'll be fine. The changes won't hurt you."

'Will there be anymore of these changes?'

"I don't know"

"So Julie what's going on?" Kai asks.

"It's nothing Kai…I've just gotten a little stronger is all."

"Should we leave you two alone?" a voice asks.

As I look up I see Tala, Spencer, and Ian. I can't help but blush, as I am still on top of Kai.

"You can get off me now Julie." Kai states as he turns his face away from me, his cheeks slightly red.

"…oh sorry…" I reply as I get up.

Kai and I walk over to the others, as Spencer picks up Bryan.

"What happened to you Julie?" Ian asks.

"Just decided to change my look that's all." I say with a grin.

"It looks good." Spencer comments.

"Thanks Spencer."

"We should get Bryan to the Hospital." Tala says as he begins to walk down the hill.

"I agree." Kai adds.

We get Bryan to the Hospital as quickly as we can. We all wait in the waiting room for the doctor.

"So how have you been Julie?" Tala asks.

"Fine, and you guys?"

"Good." Tala answers.

Just then the doctor comes in.

"How's Bryan?" Spencer asks.

"He'll be fine. He just needs some rest."

"He's not in a coma?" Kai asks.

"No. Why do you ask?" The doctor asks.

"..no reason.." Kai replies.

The doctor seems a little confused.

"Can we go see him?" I ask.

"Of course. This way."

The doctor lends us all to Bryan's room. When we walk in Bryan's sitting on the bed looking out the window.

"Bryan, your ok!" Ian exclaims.

"Yeah."

We all sit around Bryan's bed.

"I'm really sorry for what I did Julie." Bryan says looking down at the floor.

"It's alright Bryan. Boris had done the same thing to me. I'm guessing then when Boris learned that he wouldn't be able to control me he decided to use you to get ride of me." I say giving Bryan a hug.

"But when this happened to Julie she was in a coma for a month." Kai comments.

"I was thinking that too. Bryan's seems fine though." I add.

"You probably fought his control a lot harder then I did." Bryan states calmly.

"That must be it." I reply.

"We should all keep our guard up. Boris may try this again with any one of us." Tala states.

"Your right." Spencer replies.

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to stay in this hospital any longer then I half to." Bryan says.

"I agree. Let's get out of here." I reply.

Once Bryan had filled out all the paper work, we left the hospital and returned to my hotel. After everyone had got a room, we went into the dinning area to get something to eat. We talked for a while, catching on everything that's happened to all of us recently. After I had finished eating I got up to leave.

"Julie where are you going?" Tala asked.

"I'm just a little tired. I'm going to go to sleep." I reply.

"Alright, I guess will see you in the mourning." Tala says.

"Are you coming back to Japan Julie?" Kai asks.

I nod, "Yes. Will leave tomorrow."

With that I return to my room. I take a shower and get changed for bed. I walk out onto the balcony of my room looking out at the city. I sat down next to door, putting my back against the wall.

'Kai had to save my life again…'

"I don't think he minds Julie."

'I know…'

"Are you still going to tell him that you love him?" Serai asks.

'Yes…I'm going to tell him everything once we get back to Japan'

I sit for a while by myself. I soon fall asleep on the balcony, my hand dropping to the floor as I fall asleep.

KAI's P.O.V.

I walked to Julie's room, I wanted to check on her before I went to sleep myself. I knocked on her door when I got to her room, but there was no answer. When I knocked a second time the door open slowly. As I looked in I didn't see Julie anywhere. I started to worry that she had taken off again. I looked around her room, soon noticing her hand at the edge of the balcony door.

When I walked out to the balcony door and looked down she was lying there sleeping. I felt relieved that she hadn't taken off again. I walked out onto the balcony, picking her up. I carried her back into her room, lying her down on her bed and covering her with blankets.

'I have so much I have to tell you Julie.'

"So your going to tell her you love her Kai?" Dranzer asks.

'Yes Dranzer I am. I'll tell her everything when we get back to Japan tomorrow.'

With that I went to my own room and went to sleep for the night.

JULIE's P.O.V.

When I woke up I quickly got dressed, and ordered the plane tickets home. I took the liberty of ordering tickets for Tala, Spencer, Bryan, and Ian as well. I also called Robert to tell him that I would be going back to Japan today. Robert told me that he and the other Majestics would meet us at the airport. After all that was finished I went down to meet Kai and the others for breakfast. When I got to the table everyone else was already there.

"Mourning Julie." Ian said with a grin.

"Mourning everyone." I replied as I sat down.

"How are you feeling today?" Kai asks.

"Fine. I ordered the tickets for home this mourning. I got tickets for you guys too." I say looking at Tala and the other Blitzkrieg boys.

"Thanks. We were going to ask you two if you would mind us coming to Japan with you." Bryan replies.

"You don't mind do you Kai?" I ask.

"…whatever…"

"I'll take that as a yes." I say with a grin. "Oh, and the Majestics are going to be coming with us too."

"…why?" Kai asks.

"I ran into them while I was here. They want to come visit Tyson and the other Bladebreakers."

"Fine. They can do whatever they want." Kai replies crossing his arms.

"I see Kai's still the same old Kai." Spencer comments.

We all laugh at Kai's ability to still be as sour as ever. After we all finish eating we get a cab to the airport once we had collected our luggage. We meet up with the Majestics at the gate.

"Hi Julie!" Olivier exclaims giving me a hug.

"I see that Kai's here too." Johnny says with a grin.

"Johnny leave it alone." Robert says sternly.

Kai looks confused, "What about me Johnny?" Kai asks.

Before Johnny can respond Enrique pipes in, "Have you had a chance to rethink my offer Julie?" he asks.

"What offer?" Kai questions.

"I wanted Julie to go on a date with me." Enrigue says with a smile.

"But she said no." Olivier adds with a chuckle.

"You did?" Kai says looking at me.

"Yeah I did. Now come on you guys we should get on our plane before it leaves without us."

Following my lead we all bored the plane. We all sit in pairs on the flight. Kai and I sitting with each other. Soon after the plane takes off I put on my headphones and stare out the window next to me. I have no idea what to say to Kai.

"Hey Tala, is it just me or is Julie acting kinda weird today." Ian comments to Tala. Both sitting a few rows behind Kai and I.

"I was thinking the same thing. It's probably nothing. From what she's told us she's been through a lot the last little while." Tala replies.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

With that we all head for Japan. It would be an interesting reunion when we got back.
