I do not own Beyblade but do own the characters I have created and the story.
"Sir, if you are saying that this evidence is not enough.."
"I am saying, this evidence does not show any signs that Biovault is back in business."
"There are files in there that clearly point at 'future plans', and future is now.. "
The feeling that he was fighting a losing battle was nagging at the back of the detective's head. How much more evidence did the board need to be convinced that the freak show called 'Biovault' was on the road again? But his resolve was set in stone, if it was a fight they wanted, then so be it.
The documents on the drive were all classified. They stated everything, everything that the bastards at Biovault had put the children through, right down to the sticky details.
"What's this project 'Black seed'?" Samuel had said while they were waiting for the board to see him.
"Black seed?" Nakano moved closer and peered into the laptop screen as Samuel scrolled down, reading through the document. "This is.." he stopped at a page that flaunted the profile of a much younger Kai. The child's innocent eyes looking back at them from the screen, eyes that were empty, dry, blank.
"Subject Kai Hiwarati," Samuel read, his voice just loud enough for Nakano to follow, "Experiment 1 – A…"

"Experiment 1 – A. Code # : F3C4459 The Implantation.
Vital signs, normal. Subject has shown no signs of rejection. The seed planted close to the Pulmonary trunk of the subjects Heart.
Dimensions : 0.3 mm in radius.
Estimated growth speed : 0.5 mm radius per 12 months.
Estimated timeline for extraction : 8 years.
Theoretical condition of subject post extraction : Indeterminate"
Kenny read the details aloud for everyone to hear, "There is a video attached…"
The footage of the video was blurry, but they all could clearly identify their captain. He seemed to be no older than about 8 or 9 years. They all watched as the child opened the door and cautiously stepped into the dark room. the recording was hazy with little white lines running across the picture. They watched in horror as he fought man, as the dark ooze engulfed his tiny form, as the Phoenix was born again. It was Dranzer, it had to be, the phoenix had saved their captain from whatever was happening to him. It all felt so unreal. The video whizzed and crackled and ended abruptly as the child was looking down at the frozen from of an older man.
Silence.
"Project Black seed.." Tyson said, still reeling from the impact of what he had just seen, "this had got to be some kind of a joke. They planted this 'black seed' thing in Kai? Does it say what it was for?"
Kenny was already on it, "there are a bunch of other experiments in here, all related to the 'Black seed' project. Wait, here.." he had come across something, "Subject showing signs of rejection. Body temperature recorded at 103 degrees F. Subject has been placed under close observation. Subject's body rapidly dehydrating and multiple seizures have been recorded." He clicked on the video attached to the file.

His breathing was erratic. He could feel the temperature of his body rising. It felt like something was trying to eat him from the inside out. Like something wanted to rip his chest open and crawl out of it. Let it, just let it.. he thought but did not say, could not say. His little form struggled against the restraints that bound him down. He felt a pair of hands pry his gritted teeth apart and jam a tube down his throat, minutes later he felt a cool liquid filling him. He wanted to throw up, hack it all out. Then suddenly everything went black. Some part of his conscious self that still linked him to the world was shaking violently. Let it end!

He woke with a start when the door of the cell banged close.
"Good morning sleeping beauty," Boris walked up to him and crouched down beside him, "had a good night's rest have we? Well you have to wake up now, your prince is here." He reached out and caressed Kai's cheek and grinned when the boy jerked his face away, "I would have kissed you, but your grandfather is in a bit of a hurry, come put on your posh frock, we have a party to go to."
"Lay off him Boris!" Tala's voice commanded from the opposite cell.
"You will do well to keep that feisty mouth of yours shut Tala. Your situation is going to change soon and there is nothing pretty about what's going to happen, I can assure you that." He turned back to Kai and pulled him upright grabbing him by the collar of his soiled white shirt. The sudden movement made Kai's composure sway. "Come on," Boris slapped him a couple of times leaving his cheek red. He left the boy to gather his wits and moved on to pulling off the needles form his arm. Boris grabbed hold of Kai's face, "Look alive boy, we have work to do."

"All I'm asking is for one shot. Give me a team on the ground and control to carry out the operation. I will take full responsibility for the outcome."
Samuel was now almost desperate. He knew that his case was strong and the only reason for the reluctance the T.S.U. board was showing reluctance was that it was compromised. It has to be.
"Granted that we give you a ground force, do you know where to start looking? What will your approach be?"
"I need a free force, ready to be mobilizes on my command. I will send in the brief one hour before the operation."
"A free force? Clearly you have no idea where the lab is, do you?"
"I have my theories"
"Care to share them?"
"Biovault had its main bas in Russia. Well, they had two bases actually. One in Moscow and the other on the outskirts of a small town called Kirov. Moscow was the face of the organization. Their real operation base was Kirov."
"So you want a free force so that you can storm the Kirov base?"
"I am still working out the details, I want a free ground force because I want to be able to close in on the targets anywhere in the world."
"You know the consequences of using the free force Detective?"
"Yes I'm well aware. Like I said, I'll take full responsibility."

His legs felt like jelly beneath him, and it was all he could do not to fall over. Blindfolded, he had lost sense of direction and he half walked and was half dragged out of the cell. After what seemed like an eternity, they stopped and let go of him. He fell to his knees, the impact making him grunt.
It was a dimly lit room with a high ceiling supported by solid columns that jutted out at regular intervals along the walls, light streaming in from the rectangular shafts at the very top. Even through the scarce light Kai knew what the place was. He eyed the large depression in the floor wirily, beydish.
"Kai.." the sudden sound made him jump, he staggered to his feet and turned to look at the man who had called him, "feel right at home don't you?" the man moved closer.
"What is this grandfather?" he said, desperate to keep exhaustion out of his voice.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a test run," Voltair snapped his fingers. The two men that had left the room appeared seemingly from nowhere and tackled him to the ground, the cold of the floor seeping in through the thin shirt. He struggled to move out from under the weight on the man who held him in place, his knee on his back, one hand holding his head to the ground and the other clasping his wrists together. He felt the sharp prick on a needle on his neck as something liquid was forced into him and he had the sudden urge to throw up. His vision blurred, dark blotches dancing before his eyes.
"Black seed," Voltaire said, his voice holding a clear note of triumph, he ran a hand through Kai's slate hair, "You kept it nice and healthy all through these years, my child. I knew that if anyone could do it, it was you. Grow the seed of a beast that would give me the power that I deserve."
Kai could feel his body trembling, his foundations shaking as the essence of the black seed mixed with his blood. He screwed his eyes shut, sweat dripping from his brow. Something wet streamed out of his nostrils and he felt a metallic taste in his mouth. Then, it all went silent. His breath came in small gasps as he struggled to force himself off the ground, his legs unwilling to take his weight, he began to fall.
"..and again," Voltair looked at his grandson as he pulled him upright.
"You have fought the devil for me. You will be my vassal, and I will wield my power through you."
Please R&R..!
Quite need the motivation.
