BloOdY-JoKeR: Weeelll, someone had sugar. XD But thank you.
Astera Snape: Hiro will be very clingy to Kai. The reason? My friend made me a KaiHito fan. And it's fun —evil smirk—
…oh, and probably not cause not giving the beygang breaks is what makes me special. —grin— And yeah, you kinda gotta wonder that. Is Gemini REALLY with them or is he (she) just weakening their defense? —raises an eyebrow—
And the doll thing? I wouldn't blame it if it went all "Chuckie" on her. And if the throwing away thing wasn't working, you should try a window or pond or lake. Or take it to school and throw it out there. —nods—
The Mysterious Thing: I'm not sure if Ray knew what the number "1" was…and see, the thing is…I would say I didn't know he, Daichi, existed, but half of me did. And the OTHER half just plum forgot about him…better edit that. —scuttles off, then runs back—
Wait…Did you seriously read through 15 chapters? Wow. Must of taken awhile. —sweatdrop— I feel loved, though! Yay!
Hope this chapter's long…I can never tell with my word program…
Chapter 16: Uh, Houston, We've Got a Problem…
"Urrrgghh…" I opened my eyes slightly, groaning.
Okay, I'm getting really annoyed with being knocked out!
"He's awake…"
"Phew, I was worwied…"
"Maxie?"
"You okays?"
I opened my eyes completely. Wherever we were, all the chibi's huddled up with each other, shivering. Ray and Mystel were cuddled up to me.
"Whewe awe we?" I asked shakily.
"We dunno," Kai answered. He sighed and leaned back onto the wall.
Hiro was in the middle of Kai and Brooklyn, Brooklyn's arm around the small bluenette, as was Kai's arm.
Mystel huffed, "I saw some giwl gwab us befowe I bwacked out…" Mystel informed, hoping he had scored some helpful information.
"Dat's hewpfuw," Raul said, perking up slightly. "What she wook wike?"
"…" Mystel paused, his eyes shifting back and forth.
"You have no cwue…do you?" Kai asked, sighing as the Egyptian shook his head. "Man…"
Julia and Raul sighed in unison… when suddenly Hiro jumped up in surprised, apparently from something moving in his pocket, causing Kai and Brooklyn to look at him with confusion…and then at his pocket.
Digging into the his pocket, Hiro brought out…
——XX
"Grrr…I hope he has it with him still," Tyson mumbled angrily as he dialed a number on Judy's cell phone. "Man, pick up! Pick up!" Tyson rocked back and forth impatiently while he sat crossed legged, gripping his feet with his one hand.
The others looked on with eager faces as Tyson perked up, the phone apparently ringing.
"…C'mon! PICK UP!" Tyson whispered, sighing as he kept rocking. "…"
"Well?" Oliver asked, looking at Tyson. "Is he picking up?"
"I don't kn—" Tyson paused, "…YES!" Tyson said suddenly. Apparently someone answered the phone. Smiling, Tyson started speaking, but in Japanese, "Hiro, are you there!"
—Ty-Ty? Is dat you?—
"Yeah, it's me…Are you all right!" Tyson asked hurriedly, speaking half in Japanese, half in English.
—Ya, we awe okays. Just wet…— Hiro responded. Tyson could almost see him scrunching his nose up in disgust.
"Oh, thank god…" Tyson mumbled, switching to English. "I'm glad you're okay. The others are all with you, right?"
—Ya, evewyone's hewe. — Hiro said.
"That's good," Tyson said, leaning against the wall, loosening his grip on his feet. "So, you guys know where you are?" Tyson asked. Everyone looked on excitedly.
—Uh, well, we— — Hiro suddenly cut off and the sound of panicking chibi's came into the background.
—He'll have to call you back…— A feminine voice rang through the phone.
"Who…" Tyson stammered, and then suddenly looked around the room. Gemini wasn't with them, and that spelled two words: His sister. "…Jubilee!" Tyson snapped, growling.
—Aren't you a smart one?— Jubilee asked, laughing evilly as more screaming was heard in the background.
"Don't you dare hurt my brother or any of my friends!" Tyson growled, griping the phone tightly. Judy swiped the phone from him, surprising most of the teens by her quick action.
"If you dare lay a hand on my Maxie…!" Judy said, her voice warning.
Now Oliver took the phone, "Don't you ever think about coming near Johnny or Enrique!"
Bruce swiped, "If you dare lay a hand on my son or his friends…!"
Spencer got the phone from Ian, who swiped it from Bruce, "You better not hurt Kai or I'll sick Bryan on you!" Bryan bit Spencer's arm from the comment and Spencer smacked the lilac dog's muzzle in return.
Mariah grabbed the phone from him, "If you dare lay a hand on Ray, I'll have Galaux rip you to shreds!"
Ming Ming swiped the phone, "Brooklyn better be okay!"
—Aww, how sweet…— Jubilee said, her voice dripping with venom.
Tyson snatched the phone back, "Give me that," He spat as he yelled into the phone, "Don't you even think about hurting my friends!"
The phone went dead.
"Jubilee! JUBILEE!" Tyson yelled into the phone. He growled as he snapped it shut. Judy took it from him and pocketed the phone, worried painted on her face.
"What ever should we do now?" Robert asked glumly. Rick nodded,
"Yeah, what? Got any plans, Hot-shot?" Rick asked, looking at Tyson.
Tyson sighed, "…I'm afraid not. Not this time…"
——XX
"Push this here…click that lever….flip that down…press the button…tap this…and flip these…" Gemini mumbled, messing with the control panel.
"Gemini, what are you doing?"
Gemini spun around, coming face to face with Jet, "Uh, oh, Jet. Hi!"
"Don't 'Hi' me. What are you doing?" Jet asked, glaring.
Although Gemini was higher ranked than the onyx-haired teen, Jet definitely had more power and strength. Jet was definitely one boy you didn't mess with or talk back to.
"Uh, securing the premise," Gemini lied slyly, "Is that a problem!"
"…No," Jet replied, stuffing his hands into his pocket. "But it will be if they escape. Keep them secure." Jet turned around and started walking.
"You don't order ME around!" Gemini glared, looking at him, flipping some more switches and levers with his back turned.
Jet stopped and turned his head around, "Say what?"
"Uh, I, uh…" Gemini gulped, "Yes sir?"
"I thought so," Jet sneered and continued walking. Gemini let out a huge sigh of relief after Jet rounded the corner and vanished through another door.
"Stuck up jerk," Gemini growled quietly before returning to the control panel. "Now, to get back to work…I got betraying to do!" Gemini said, smiling slyly.
——XX
"Do ya tink he is weally comin ta get us?" Kai asked Hiro looked around worriedly.
"…I've wearned to twust him over ta years," Hiro replied, sitting down between Brooklyn and Kai again, this time those three being the only ones in the room. Jubilee and Kimara had taken them out of the old cell and put them all in separate cells. Luckily, they were either with their closest friend, sibling, or teammate.
"…Den we twust him too," Brooklyn replied, looking down. Hiro sighed, closing his eyes sadly. Kai glared at the barred door.
"I gots a feelwing dat Bowis is da one behind dis!" Kai replied, growling.
"But I no see him," Hiro commented, looking around, now with open eyes.
"He pwobabwy hiding! Da cowarwd!" Kai seethed, growling.
"Kai, awe you surwe you not just stuck on da past? Maybe Bowis didn't—" Hiro was cut off by Kai.
"I know he's behind dis, okay!" Kai yelled loudly, clenching his fist tightly. Hiro flinched, and moved closer to Brooklyn. Brooklyn glared at Kai before putting an arm around the younger chibi.
"Kai," Brooklyn sighed, "He's youngah. Can't shout at him," Brooklyn explained, glancing down at Hiro.
"…Sowwy, Hero," Kai apologized, setting his hand on the bluenette's shoulder. When the chibi pulled away, Kai frowned. "Hero…"
"…" Hiro suddenly jolted up. "A vent!"
"Huh?" The two older bladers looked at him with confusion.
"Metah Dwigah said dat dere's a vent we can cwawl out of!" Hiro quickly explained, running to the wall and pointing to a low air vent. "Wook!"
"…Dat kitty's a GENIUS," Brooklyn said, smirking as he ran up to the wall also, Kai following.
"…Wet's go get da othah's…" Kai said, smirking as he climbed onto Brooklyn's shoulders, Hiro climbing onto his and pulling the vent cover off, crawling into it. He turned around and grabbed Kai up, and Brooklyn was pulled up along with him. Brooklyn slipped the cover back on and the 3 chibi's made their way down the ventilation shaft.
Suddenly, Hiro spoke up, "…I hope da vent don't start goin'…."
——XX 2 Hours later…and Jet threw Ian in because last chapter he kinda appeared outta nowhere…
"...Do you hear something?" Tyson asked. "I could've sworn I heard arguing…"
"It's DAT WAY!"
"No! It's DAT way!"
"You're all wong! It's STWAIGHT!"
"…" A loud sigh. "Fwip a coin or somefin!" A exasperated voice yelled.
"That sounded like…" Tyson paused as suddenly the vent cover fell down onto Bryan.
"YIPE!" Bryan moved out of the vent's way, rubbed his head as best as could after he settled down next to Spencer and a chibi Tala …he does has paws and a elbow that can't exactly bend like ours…
"OH GOD! WOOK OUT!"
Tyson's eyes widened at the yell from the vent as a blonde, tanned skinned chibi tumbled out.
"I TOWD JA IT WAS STWAIGHT!" The blonde yelled, shaking his fist triumphantly.
"No you didn't!" A redhead yelled, poking his head out and scrunching his nose up.
"I told you it was stwaight…" A ginger red chibi said as the redhead jumped out of the vent.
"…Man, I told you Brookie should not of wead! He has a howwible sense a diwection!" Another hyper blonde complained jumping out after the ginger red chibi.
"I wasn't weading!" Brooklyn whined, pointing away from himself. "Myst was!"
"MYSTEL COULDN'T FIND HIS WAY OUT OF A VENTAWATION SHAFT!" Kai yelled as loud as a chibi could as the rest of the chibi's tumbled out of the vent from the echo.
"WE KNOW! WE WEWE IN ONE!" All the chibi's yelled in response.
"AND hopewesswy WOST!" Raul and Julia, then twins of course, yelled angrily.
"Hey!" Mystel whined. "I have a PEWFECT sense of diwection!" Mystel said, proudly, putting his hands on his hips.
"NO YOU DON'T!" All the chibi's yelled at the blonde.
The teens all ignored them and their arguing…
Until they noticed who they were.
"The chibi's!" All the teens yelled, each grabbing their respective teammate or son or brother or whatever.
"Max, I was so worried!" Judy said as Max hugged her tightly.
"Mommy, we was worried about you guys!" Max said, whimpering. "You guys get in so much twouble! So much twouble! "
A long silence as Judy just blinked and stared at her son.
Everyone started laughing.
"Ty-Ty! Daddy!" Hiro glomped his brother, who laughed and pulled him onto his lap, smiling.
Johnny and Enrique raced to Robert and Oliver, Julia and Raul tackled Romero (who's been oddly quiet), Mystel jumped Garland while Brooklyn ran to Ming Ming and Moses. Kai, since he was chibi-fied and was hyper, tackled Bryan, who glared, so the slate haired chibi settled for hugging Tala and then Spencer. Finally, Ray was hugged to death by Mariah and had to be pulled off by Lee so she wouldn't choke the chibi. The chibi neko-jin that resumed to hug Kevin-kitty.
"We're so glad you're all okay…" Tyson said after everyone calmed down from the mini (literally) reunion.
"But you're not out of hot water yet," a voice said. Everyone snapped their heads over to the cell door.
"Gemini…!" Michael gasped as the boy twirled a key in his finger.
"You betrayed us! You were never really with us, were you?" Lee growled, glaring. Mariah did the same, bearing her fangs to the traitor.
"Maybe, or maybe not. Sometimes…" Gemini replied. "You gotta betray your friends so you're able to betray the enemy …" Gemini stopped twirling the key and smirked at the befuddled gang.
"…Say what?" Emily asked with confusion as Gemini shook his head slowly.
"And you're supposed to be the smart one…" Gemini said sadly, still smirking. His ears suddenly perked up, "Hm." Gemini bent down and slid a brown package under the barred door. "Hide it and open it once they pass you…" Gemini said no more, but shot up and jolted off, his hair flying behind him.
Oliver, being the closest, grabbed the medium weight package and, quickly but reluctantly, stuffed it in her jacket, trying not to look suspicious.
A few moments passed and Oliver was about to take it out when Ray shook his head. Suddenly, Jet and Kimara walked by, Jet glaring at them while Kimara smirked. They didn't stop once, just kept walking.
Once they were out of sight and their footsteps no longer heard, Oliver swiftly brought the package out and ripped it open.
Inside, were two items.
A key for the cell door and a switcher.
Oliver opened the switcher. No marble inside, but a note was.
"I was able to fully repair the switcher. Sorry enough, I couldn't find the correct marble. I'll leave that up to you. –Gemini…… P.S.: Here's the key to the cell door. Get out while you can." Oliver read, closing the switcher and pocketing it.
"Think he's telling the truth?" Miguel asked worriedly. "I'm not too sure about him…err…her…that kid anymore…" Miguel corrected.
"…Hmm," Spencer pondered, then quoted, ""Sometimes you gotta betray your friends so you're able to betray the enemy …"" Spencer paused.
Bryan looked up at his teammate, "So?"
"…He means he betrayed us so he could get us the key and the switcher and then betray Jubilee and those other two…" Spencer said, cupping his chin in his hand.
"So?" Bryan persuaded. "Point is?"
"…We can…" Spencer said finally, smiling. Ian nodded,
"Yeah, I get what Spence is getting to…" Ian said thoughtfully.
"Good, then…" Robert stood up.
Tyson finished his sentence, "OPEN THE DOOR ALREADY!"
Darn, not too long...--sighs-- oh well. It's an update. Next update will take me longer because my BIRTHDAY'S SOOOONNN! YAAYYY -shot- But yeah. Couple weeks. And I'll try to make it extra long! -sighs and kicks word program- Evil thing!
Anywho!
R&R please. And uh, sorry about Ian popping out of nowhere last chapter. —sweatdrop— When I started the story, I didn't know Ian was in the Blitzkrieg Boyz (he shows up at the end, I think…) so…I just feel like throwing him in NOW. Mwuaha?
