Chapter 4

The First Strike

"So Kai, what's your big plan?" asked Tyson as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Kai walked towards his teammates and looked at Kenny.

"Chief, pull up a map of the dictator's weapon supply dump." he commanded.

"Sure." replied Kenny.

Kenny quickly opened up his laptop and typed for what seemed half an hour was actually a couple of minutes until a map of the of the insides of the dictator's weapon supply dump appeared on the screen.

The rest of the GRevolutions crowded around Kenny's laptop in awe. Suddenly Daichi's voice broke the silence.

"So what does this have to do with your big plan?" he asked as he raised one of his eyebrows.

Kai looked over at Daichi and gave him a death glare that send him cowering underneath the table. Then he cleared his throught and spoke to the others.

"This weapon supply dump is our target. The dictator supplies his police force with those weapons. If we take out their supply source, then they won't be able to torture the people and it'll also give some beybladers who might still be out there a chance to find a place to hide."

Kai stopped for a moment to see if the others were paying any attention to what he was saying. Kenny, obviously very scared about the whole idea of sneaking into a highly secure area, took this chance to speak.

"But there's a lot of security around that place! We'll be lucky to even get by the front door unnoticed!" he said with fear in his voice.

As Kenny looked up at Kai to see his response, he was shocked to see a smirk on his face.

"Well, chief that's why you're going to stay here and direct us to the main weapon storage room. You're going to watch out for the dictator's police force and warn us if any are coming our way. Understood?" Kai explained.

Relief swept through Kenny's body once he found out that he wasn't going with them, but then his concern went to the others. He knew that they could handle themselves, but he couldn't push away the nagging doubt that the dictator would be prepared for their attack. He could only hope that he wasn't and that the others could get out before they got caught.

"Where will we enter?" asked Ray suddenly.

"We'll enter at the northern entrance. There seems to be less security around that area!" Kai replied as he pointed at an area on the map.

A few seconds of silence passed before Kai spoke up once again, "We'll split up into teams: Tyson and Daichi will go into the first secondary storage room, Ray and Max will go into the second secondary storage room, and I'll go into the main storage room. And at the appointed time Kenny gives us, we'll destroy the ammo with our beyblades and get ourselves out. Got it?"

Everyone nodded. Then Hilary noticed that she wasn't included in this mission. She couldn't believe it; she was a part of this team too! She deserved to help.

"Hey, wait a minute!," Hilary snapped, "How come I'm not on this mission?"

Everyone's eyes stared at her except for Kai's. Hilary's ruby eyes began to bore into Kai, searching for a reason why she wasn't going with them.

After a few moments of silence, Kai looked up at her and answered her question, "It's too dangerous for you to come along. I don't think that we want to risk losing you again."

'Especially I don't want to lose you again.,' thought Kai, 'Huh? Where did that thought come from?' Kai pushed away the growing conflict in his head and focused on what was happening now.

Hilary stared back at him, obviously not moved by his answer.

"I know you guys don't want to lose me again, but I can't just sit on the sidelines watching you guys fight. I want to help! I'm a part of this team too!" she replied.

The others, excluding Kai, felt moved. They had no idea that Hilary felt that way. Kai, on the other hand, felt otherwise. His crimson eyes connected with Hilary's. Suddenly a moving image of one day came before him.

In that image, he could see that on that day the first time he had ever felt helpless. He remembered why he felt that way. The sound of a young teenage girl's cry for help resounded in his head. He remembered that no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get to her, to save her. And never again did he want that to happen.

"I'm sorry, Hilary, but I still don't think it's safe for you to go." Kai replied.

"But I want to help, Kai!" Hilary shot back.

Kai saw in Hilary's eyes a look of determination. He smirked inwardly when he saw it. Hilary was stubborn and wouldn't stop at nothing to get what she wanted. That was what she was doing now and he knew that there was no way to win against her when her mind was already made up.

Kai sighed and spoke, "Alright then, Hilary, you can come, but only if you promise that you'll stick close to me when we're inside. Got it?"

Hilary was shocked at Kai's giving in, but she was more excited at the thought of her helping the guys like she used to back before the dictator arrived.

"Yes, I promise I will." she answered.

"Alright," Kai started as everyone who was going stood up, "Let's go!"

Kai's crimson eyes studied the northern entrance, searching to see if some of the dictator's police force was around. When he saw that no one was there, he called back to his teammates,

"C'mon, the coast is clear!"

Tyson, Max, Ray, Daichi, and Hilary emerged from the shadows and quickly followed Kai to the door. They waited for the okay from Kenny to see if it was alright for them to go inside. Once they heard it, they sneakily went into the ammo dump and split up into teams of two, each heading in their own direction.

Tyson and Daichi headed to the first secondary storage room. As they entered, they saw huge rows of all kinds of weapons that the dictator's police force used.

"Dang! Just imagine what kinda damage I could do with these things!" said Daichi excitedly.

"Oh yeah, I definately could." replied Tyson sarcastically.

With one more look towards the door, Tyson spoke once again, "Okay Daichi, all we have to do now is wait until-"

"I don't think you'll be able to wait!" said a voice coming from above them.

Suddenly a figure fell from the ceiling and landed right in front of Tyson. Tyson jumped back so the figure wouldn't be able to attack him from the air.

"Hello Tyson. Long time, no see, huh?" the figure spoke.

Tyson raised his head to look at the figure. Then he gasped. It couldn't be him! Not him!

Hilary went as fast as she could behind Kai. Kai was going so fast that she barely had time to keep up, but she didn't want him to know that.

When they finally stopped, they had reached the main storage room. Once they walked in, Hilary could see what helped to give the dictator such power. 'With all these weapons at his disposal, it's no wonder how he keeps people from revolting. Just one look at those weapons and even a courageous person could become a coward.' she thought as her and Kai reached the main computer.

As Kai was just about to let Kenny take control of the computer, a beyblade was launched straight at him! Hilary turned her head in time to see it.

"Kai! Look out!" she cried.

Kai jerked his head towards the beyblade and moved out of the way. He looked at the beyblade as it landed and noticed the familiarity of it. He had seen that beyblade before, but where?

"Hey Kai, what's up? Nice to see you again."

Kai turned his head at his attacker. His mouth hung open as he realized who he was.

Ray and Max gazed at all the weapons around them. They could see why the dictator had three of this kind of room. If they had weapons like this, surely they would have the same thing, or at least some of them would.

As they waited for Kenny's signal, they both heard footsteps coming towards them. They both hid quickly behind some crates of ammo and waited for the person to walk by.

Once the person came into their line of view, Ray gasped. No way! It couldn't be!

"Mariah......"
