Hi again guys. I'm glad that this is such a success and I'll try to update more. I've got a lot of homework this week though so if I can't update please be patient with me. Thanks enjoy the chapter.
4. Beyblading
The next day Kai was awakened by the sound of abell that rang throughout the whole abbey. It was Boris' way of waking the children up and it seemed to work. Kai slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was still dark around him. Then he remembered that he was at the abbey and he got up off the cold floor.
"I wonder what time it is?" He asked himself with a moan.
Then he walked over to the door of the cell to try and see if he could open it. Surprisingly enough it was unlocked and he opened it with ease. He walked down the mazelike tunnels trying to find his way through the underground labyrinth but he soon got lost in the maze. Eventually he realized that he was going around in circles and he looked for a way to the training room he had been in the day before. When he couldn't find it he decided that he would try and escape this strange, evil place and he bolted into a run. He ran and ran down the tunnels until he crashed into something.
"Hey kid watch where you're going," an angry voice said to him as he got up.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?" Kai retorted back to the person.
"You're the one that ran into me who are you anyways?" The kid asked him.
"My name's Kai. Who are you?"
"My name is Tala," the boy Kai had run into replied.
When he had gotten off the ground Kai looked at the boy and saw that he had red hair and icy blue eyes.
"Where wereyou off to so fast kid?" Tala asked Kai curiously.
Not wanting to say that he was trying to escape Kai made up an excuse and quickly said, "I was trying to find the washroom I don't know how much longer I can hold it in."
"Well follow me then it's pretty hard to find anywhere in this place. The tunnels will have ya goin around in circles especially if you're new here," Tala said and started to walk off in the direction of the bathroom.
Kai followed him and the two boys talked for a bit while they walked. Kai went to the washroom and then Tala guided him to the training room where all the other kids were.
When Kai entered the room Boris grabbed him and said, "Where the hell have you been boy? You're late."
"I got lost trying to find a washroom, this place is such a maze ya know," Kai answered giving him a cold look.
"Sure you were Kai extra training for you and some beatings as well," he said and threw Kai to the ground.
"Boris don't be so hard on the kid he's still young besides he's telling the truth. I found him lost so I helped him find the washroom," Tala said seeing how he didn't like seeing the way that Boris hurt some of the kids around this place.
"Tala if you're sticking up for him then you can get extra training too," Boris said and walked off.
"You know you didn't have to stick up for me," Kai said to Tala.
"Yeah well I wanted to I don't like the way that Boris does things around here," Tala answered and walked off towards a Beydish.
As he looked in the direction Tala walked off inKai saw Bree and Ben come his way.
"Hey dude good to see ya," Ben said giving him a small smile while Boris wasn't looking.
"Yeah for once I agree with my brother. Surprising that Boris let ya go so soon, usually he keeps ya in a cell for a few days and then he lets ya join the rest of the group," Bree said happy to see him as well.
"Well I guess I'm just lucky then," Kai said glad to be out of the cell.
"Why don't you come train with us," Bree suggested to him.
"Ya better hurry up before Boris catches ya slacking then he'll just give ya extra beatings," Ben added.
They walked over to a dish and Kai and Ben had a battle. Kai one shooting Ben's blade out of the dish, shocking the twins.
"Man Kai how'd ya manage that I've never seen a newbie that good?" Ben asked thinking that he should've won.
"I've just had a lot of practice that's all," Kai replied.
"Well if you're so good then how bout trying to beat me," Bree challenged.
"Alright then," Kai responded and they got in position on opposite ends of the dish.
They launched their blades and the battle started. Kai and Bree were pretty well matched but Bree beat him in the end.
"Well that was interesting," Kai said after picking up his blade.
"Yeah but I'd have to admit you lasted the longest out of any of the kids I've battled," Bree said and picked up her still spinning blade from the dish.
Kai looked at the phoenix in the centre of his blade, he longed to have the power to call out his bitbeast.
I wish that I could get Dranzer to come out. I guess I'll just have to work harder then, he thought with a determined look.
"Well it's time for the break, you comin Kai?" Bree asked her friend.
"Sure better than sticking around this damn room," Kai answered and they left the room.
They walked around the abbey while they talked, giving Kai a tour of the place so he'd know where all the different tunnels led to.
After a while Bree asked, "Hey Ben how much time we got left?"
"A couple minutes to get over there come on," he answered.
Kai asked, "Where are we going now."
"To the workout room for the million laps we have to do," Bree answered.
"Great more laps," Kai said grumpily.
"Yeah it sucks but we gotta do em I wish Boris didn't make us though," Ben said.
Luckily they got there on time and they started their laps with everyone else. They ran the whole afternoon and when they had stopped everyone but Bree and Ben was tired.
"Man is doing laps always this tiring?" Kai asked exhausted from the days events.
"It is for the first little while," Bree answered.
"But don't worry Kai you'll get used to it," Ben added.
"I don't think that I'll ever get used to this," Kai said with a sigh.
The three friends walked back through the tunnels together but eventually they had to separate.
"Bye Kai," Ben and Bree said as they waved goodbye.
"Bye you guys see ya tomorrow," Kai said and waved back to them.
That night Kai was awakened by a bad dream and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't go back to sleep.
Great I can't sleep. Well now that I'm awake I might as well see if I can get Dranzer to work for me, Kai thought as he picked up his blade and stared at the phoenix bitbeast.
He then got up from the cold, damp floor of his cell and left through the door. He went down the tunnels the way that Tala had shown him the day before ending up in the training room. He positioned himself at a dish and launched his dark blue and red blade. He gave it a couple more spins and still no luck but his determination never died.
"I can do this I just have to concentrate harder," he said to himself and launched his blade again.
The blade spun around in a circle at the centre of the dish not doing anything.
Kai called up all his energy and shouted, "DRANZER!"
Something was finally happening, the bit chip in Kai's blade glowed a bright red colour and then a magnificent bird flew out from it. It was a regal creature with fiery red and gold feathers. Kai stared in awe at the phoenix as it gave a shrill cry and then materialized back into the bit of the blade.
Kai stood there for a few moments not believing that he had actually gotten his bitbeast to come out but after a while he went to the dish and picked up his blade. He looked at the picture of the creature that he had just witnessed come from the object he now held.
It was real I got Dranzer to come out, Kai thought, proud of what he had done.
He returned to his cell and lay down on the hard floor wishing that his father or sister could have been there to see him call out the spirit but he knew that he was stuck here.
The bit chip turned scarlet in a comforting glow, the spirit sensing Kai's longing for home.
"Thanks Dranz," Kai said and placed the blade beside him as he fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Well that's chapter 4 done. I doubt that I'll have anymore time tonight but I'll try to update as soon as I can. Please review I love the feedback from you guys.
