Gone South for the summer
Summary: All the bladers are spending a summer at Max's aunt's house in America. The time there was supposed to be filled with fun activities, but will they be able to get to them with the appearence of a mysterious team that seems to be challenging all the visiting teams one by one to secret matches, leading to defeat after defeat of the teams one by one. On top of that, an odd girl who seems to have even less emotion then Kai, seems to be having truobles of her own that some others get dragged into. Sounds like a bunch of fun for them, no?
Disclaimer: I only own my OC's, not Beyblade or the charcaters in Beyblade. Also, Blitzkrieg, Tala's dog, is owned by Apple Senorita. And the main idea of my OC's team is off of one of Yurii Savinov's stories.
Pairings: Tyson x Hilary and Mariah x Rei so far.
Quick note: Ignore all of my mistakes please, I've got such short-term memory that it's killing me to look through and find all of my mistakes because I forgot to do something. -.-;;

"Dinner time!"
Anyone who had been in their rooms could be heard running down the stairs, while doors coming from the backyard were being opened and closed also as everyone gathered into the dining room. Ms. Kristin had prepared a special meal since four teams, the Majestics, the White Tigers, F- Dynasty, and the Barthez Battalion, were departing, going back to their home lands, the next day.
Ms. Kristin watched everyone get seated, her eyes becoming a bit watery while they all dug into the food, chatting with others also. Just as she was about to go back into the kitchen, she noticed two other people slowly making their way into the room.
"Sergei!"
The said boy would have been knocked off his feet by the impact, had Mishka not been right behind him. Ms. Kristin hugged the fragile brunette tightly, until she noticed the slight twitching in Mishka's eye, and let him go of her death hold. Sergei merely smiled, before going to hide behind his sister. As they watched their mother, Laura, Miranda, and Mary had also gotten up from where they had been sitting to go and see Sergei and Mishka.
"Hey you two! I see you must be feeling better, Sergei, if Mishka let you out of your chamber," Laura commented jokingly.
Miranda went to pat Sergei's back," poor boy, he's got such a protective sister."
"You know, I'm at least….two years older then you Miranda, you should be treating me more respectfully."
The three sisters laughed at Sergei's remark, even though they had to decipher what some of the words he had said actually were, due to his thick accent. Mishka let out a small chuckle, a small light flashed through her eyes as she watched her brother continue to joke with the others.
'I just hope this will last….'
/Ok, who is your arch enemy/
/I'm going to have to say….reality. Whenever I tried to get away from that little bugger, it always comes back and hits me harder. /
The small book Ian had 'found' was proving to be quite entertaining, seeing as the two oldest of the group weren't there to speak against the idea. Kai looked up from the 'American Girl' book with an eye brow raised toward Tala. The redhead only shrugged before turning to the smaller boy to his right.
/And you Ian/
The purple haired boy put a finger up to his chin thoughtfully/ I'm gonna have to say-/
/What are you freaks doing/
At the sudden words being spoken, Kai quickly threw the book he had been holding in the direction of the open window opposite of him across the room. He watched with a relieved sigh as it flew out of the room, before turning to face the person who had come into the room, seeing as Tala and Ian had rolled underneath the two beds for protection. Kai's innocent look was met with a raised eyebrow, as Bryan stared down suspiciously at him.
/We're all suppose to go downstairs and meet in the living room so that we can say goodbye to all the teams that are leaving. I was coming up here to tell you three that, but if you're too busy doing each others nails I'm sure everyone else will understand. /
Ian and Tala, who were about to come out from underneath the beds, quickly rethought their actions as a loud thud could be heard, caused by Bryan falling to the ground, an angered Kai throwing fists at him while kneeling on the older boys stomach. Bryan let out a small growl as Kai dug his knees farther into his stomach. Kai found himself slammed against the wall now, before having his stomach punched, after which a connection with Bryan's fist and Kai's jaw was also made.
/Let him go, Bryan. /
Kai let out a sigh of relief as he was thrown onto the floor. Using the back of his hand to wipe away some of the blood that was trickling from his mouth, he stood up, looking gratefully towards Spencer, before flashing Bryan a full-force glare, and exiting the room, slamming the door behind him.
/What the hell is wrong with you/ Spencer questioned, as he turned to the furious Falcon.
/He started it/ Bryan replied lowly, avoiding Spencer's gaze by looking down at the floor.
Spencer took in a deep breath to calm himself down/ well, Kai does have the slight issue of lunging out at people at times….but he's still younger then you, meaning you should have more control and patience then he does. /
Bryan smirked/ he has anger issues…. /
Spencer gave him a warning look, before turning to see Ian and Tala slowly coming out of their hiding places, with a loud moan Spencer turned to leave the room.
/I swear, they'd all be dead with out me… /
The three watched as Spencer mumbled to himself before shutting the door behind him, before Ian decided to break the silence.
/You were so going to beat Kai again. /
Tala and Bryan rolled their eyes, before both stood up and left the room, leaving a confused Ian behind.
Mariah was chasing Kevin, trying to get him to give back her lip stick. The two ended up running out the back door and in to the yard.
"Kevin, get back here!"
"Never!"
"If you don't give me my make-up right now, I'll-"
Before Mariah could finish her sentence, Kevin fell to the ground, an object that seemed to drop out of no where had hit his head. The pink haired girl ran up to the small boy, after checking to make sure he was ok, and grabbing her make-up, she turned to look for whatever it was that had hit Kevin on the head. Once finding it, she looked at it curiously, before looking up, trying to figure out where it could have come from. She stared disbelievingly, looking from the book in her hand to the window that she believed it had come out of.
"It couldn't have come from there…." She mumbled to herself, shaking her head to dismiss the thought.
Mariah grabbed Kevin's arm, before proceeding to dragging him inside, bringing the book along with her.
Tala let out a low sigh as he entered the living room, looking up from the floor he had been staring at only so he could pick his way through the others to get to the couch Bryan had claimed for the rest of the team. After sitting down on the opposite end of Bryan, seeing as he was still a bit…irritated, he kept his eyes on the entry way. After a couple more minutes, Tala started biting the bottom of his lip, something he didn't normally let himself do, as he continued to wait.
/Wolf, stop worrying over it, even if they don't find him he'll be back. /
Tala let out another sigh/ I know, but I can't help it, it is raining outside now, and Boris…. /
As Tala trailed off, the answer to why he was so worried finally clicked in Bryan's mind. All of the team knew Kai could take care of himself, but with the threat of Boris being around was different.
/I don't think it's Kai we have to worry about though…. /
/What do you mean/
/Well, they have already tried to get you once- /
Before Bryan could finish, the front door could be heard opening, causing Tala to jump up and hurry back through the crowd to get to the front door.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BLITZKRIEG RAN OFF?"
All in the living room stopped talking, and turned towards the direction of the outburst, where a soaking wet Spencer and Ian were being yelled at by a now infuriated Tala. One hand was on Tala's hip while the other was pointing outside while he started yelling in Russian at the two. Bryan let out a deep sigh, before getting up to break up the fight, since for once he wasn't involved in it.
"Calm down, волк мальчик."
Tala turned to the calm lilac haired Russian, flames almost visible in his eyes," don't tell me to calm down when my best friend and dog are lost because of you three idiots!"
More most likely would have been said, had Tala not noticed the small group of heads peering around the corner to watch them. With a slight huff, the redhead stocked off towards the living room. Ian took the as his queue to go back outside to look for Blitzkrieg, he was accompanied by both Spencer and Bryan, neither one wanting to deal with their angry team captain at the moment.
/Darn Wolf, he doesn't appreciate anything…. / Ian mumbled, putting the hood of his jacket up to protect his hair from getting soaked even worse then it already was.
Bryan and Spencer just ignored the comment, as they looked around in hopes of seeing at least one of their two lost companions. When a loud bark was heard, the three headed off in the direction of it, some sparks of hope lighting up. Once they finally go to the area the bark had come from, they found a small group of thugs surrounding a very calm looking Kai, and a snarling Blitzkrieg. Without thinking, Ian quickly pulled his hood further down over his eyes and stepped into the alley way the group was in, his gun raised in the direction of who seemed to be the leader if the group.
/You really can't stay out of trouble, can you/ Ian questioned, watching confused expressions cross the thugs' faces.
Kai only shrugged in response, as Bryan and Spencer now stepped out of the shadows, hoods also up, their hand sin their pockets.
"Dude, what's going on here?" one of the thugs asked in a nervous tone, backing up slightly from the others.
Bryan smirked slightly," I don't know, we were about to ask you the same question."
"That's it, get them!" The leader thug ordered.
"Wrong move."
A loud yawn was released as Tyson tried to stay awake, him and the others waiting for the return of the other Blitzkrieg Boys before they started their little get together. Most just found someone to talk to, while other like Johnny, Robert, Tala, Miguel, and Lee merely sat back and watched everyone else, with the exception of a sleeping Kevin. Mariah, Emily, and Julia seemed to be talking about something, which the girls all giggled over, before Mariah pulled out whatever it was they were all laughing over.
"Yeah, I found it outside the window of Kai's room," Mariah giggled.
Tala looked up from the floor at the mention of his friend's name, only to find the pink ball of fur holding the American Girl book they had been reading from earlier.
"How the hell did she get that?'
"Hey Tala, was this in your room?" Emily questioned, holding the book high in the air.
Before he had time to reply, Tala could feel the part of the couch next to him sink some as Spencer took a seat, soon followed by the other Blitzkrieg Boys. A small smile crossed the crossed the wolf's face as he noticed Kai and Blitzkrieg were back, though his mood was dampened by the grim looks on his team mates faces, though he didn't bother asking what was wrong with them, he was sure he'd ask them later.
"Ok, now that we're all here, let's start this little meeting thing!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Oh, I'm not in the mood for all of this."
Tala stood up, wincing as his newfound headache throbbed at every movement he made. With a grateful sigh of relief, he found himself standing on the porch, breathing in the scent of the flowers Ms. Kristin had planted in her garden, while he watched the sun slowly setting. There was no way anyone like Boris could be even close to this area; it was too peaceful, to…perfect.
But then again, he had thought about his family that way when he was a small child, and that only ended up with him living on the streets, and then in the Abbey. He couldn't escape to a perfect place, because there was no such thing, but at least this place was close to it, far away from where he had grown up, far away from…. everything.
"Hey, wolf boy."
A deep sigh came from Tala, before turning to face the brunette," Hello, bear."
"Hey, I was trying to be friendly, so don't go insulting me," Mishka frowned, as she went to stand next to Tala, though keeping some distance in between them.
"Whatever."
"Use up all your words yelling at your friends?"
"That's none of your business," Tala replied quickly, sending a glare at Mishka.
She shrugged in reply, before turning to walk away, hair swaying behind her with every step.
"Where are you going?"
"For a walk, do you want to come too?"
Tala looked a bit taken aback by her words, though he quickly regained his composure.
"It probably would be best if you went, I wouldn't trust her to go off alone."
'Whatever Wolborg, what if it's a trap?'
"What if it is? Can you not protect yourself?"
With a shrug, Tala walked up next to Mishka. Taking that as a yes, Mishka started off towards the road, Tala following closely behind.
Ian slumped to the side some, bored with the speech Robert was doing. He wouldn't shut up about crap that he didn't understand, and whenever anyone made a comment, he'd reply with something along the lines of,' how uncouth'. It was really putting him to sleep
"And thus, we will most likely see each other in the finals next year."
Everyone clapped, glad that the German was finally done, as Robert took his seat Johnny was told to go up and say something. He went up to where Robert had just been standing, he opened his mouth to say something, but then shut it again and turned to go back and sit down, causing most in the group to laugh. Since all the other teams had gone up and spoken, Mariah took that as her queue to go up and speak, bringing with her a book.
"Ok, so I've had an awesome time while I was here, and I'm going to miss you all, and the rest of that good stuff, but I need to ask some people I question. Does this," at those words she held up the book," belong to one of the Blitzkrieg Boys? Because I found it outside their window."
Kai's mouth fell open a bit, while Ian actually fainted, causing him to fall onto Bryan, who quickly threw him off. Thus resulting in people thinking Ian was lying dead next to them, making the girls, and some boys, run screaming out of the room. Spencer nudged Ian's side with his foot, making the smaller boy twitch.
"Don't worry people, Ian is alive!" Tyson announced, as he watched Ian slowly get up.
Anyone who had ran out of the room, soon returned, some embarrassed, while others were just laughing. (Kenny, Claude, Oliver, Raul, and Julia being the embarrassed ones)
"So, does that mean that this is your book?" Mariah asked, a cat like smile on her face.
"It wasn't ours, I found it and Tala threw it out the window when I suggested selling it," Ian answered, folding his arms over his chest.
Emily looked thoughtful for a moment," wait a second, hadn't I left that on the couch this afternoon?"
Mishka and Tala had walked in silence up until where they were now, which was a park only about a mile away from Ms. Kristen's house. There were little paths going all around the area, some parts wooded, others open, though all surrounded a beautiful fountain that had water spurting up to a pretty good height. The sun had finally set, so lamps were lit up around the fountain and paths, so that it was easy enough to see as the two walked along.
"Tala, do you ever feel like something is missing in you?"
Tala turned to look at the brunette's face, seeing as they had stopped to sit on a bench to look at the fountain, she showed no hint of sarcasm, or really any emotion at all, she just stared at the water coming out of the fountain. Letting out a deep sigh, he turned away and just stared at the fountain also, he didn't feel like answering her question, since it really didn't make much sense to him.
As if reading his mind, Mishka started talking once more," I guess what I mean is if you ever feel like something is missing, since you didn't grow up like everyone else, with a normal family who loved you, or a normal school where you could have your own group of friends, friends who would protect you against bullies, since you would do the same for them." She let a small chuckle escaped her lips, before tilting her head to look up at the sky," Maybe I'm just crazy for thinking these things, or just selfish. I do have my brother now, and even if it would've been nice to have him with me while I was growing up, at least he didn't have to go through the same…pain as we had to."
Tala looked knowingly now at the brunette, he had at one time felt like that also, though he had discovered moping around and doing nothing about it didn't help.
"You have friends also, Laura, Miranda, and Mary stuck by you the whole time you were the mysterious 'Four Seasons' team," he pointed out, as he also looked up at the sky.
"This is another reason why I feel selfish, because for some unknown reason those three will do anything just to make me happy, and yet I can't even return their actions with a small smile, all I do is nod and walk away. Though I stay often at their house for sleepovers, I only do it so I can escape problems at home, I even go so far as just leaving my brother there, telling him he'll be fine and that I'll come and check on him later. And because of my stupidity and self absorbed feelings, I let him get hurt worse then most other times."
As Tala listened to Mishka speaking, he soon felt a head resting on his shoulder, hands holding onto his jacket for what seemed like dear life. Mishka's whole body was shaking as she continued to cry on the redhead's shoulder, for a few moments she was able to get away from the feelings that she had kept bottled up for years, the ones she had to let out, before any more was added to them. Tala, not being able to think of anything else to do, rubbed her back soothingly until she had finally calmed down.
"Do you feel better now?"
Mishka frowned at the question, as something crossed her mind," um…yes, thank you Tala."
Bryan and Spencer had managed to get Ian away from the now enraged Emily, although waiting until after the purple haired boy got knocked a couple of times in the head before coming to the rescue. All those that had been watching now burst out in laughter, as Ian hid behind his two bigger friends, and Emily was held back by Michael, Eddy, and Rick.
Laura coughed slightly, trying to catch everyone's attention," We'll be watching a movie now, so if you wouldn't mind, no fighting please."
Emily let out and exasperated sigh as she was about to just turn and sit down, that was before Ian decided it to be the perfect time to flip the American off, causing her to tackle the Russian. The two were quickly pulled apart by their team mates, and set at opposite sides of the room before the movie could finally be started.
/You're an idiot Ian/ Kai commented, sending a glare in the smaller boy's direction.
/Shut up wussy boy. /
At that comment, Spencer made sure to grab hold of Kai before he lunged at Ian, who had a smug look on his face, before Bryan hit him over the head. After the four had settled back down, a question popped into Ian's mind as he looked around the room.
/Where's wolf boy/
Tala and Mishka had both stood up now, readying to go back to the house, Tala with a look of blankness, while Mishka didn't take her eye away from the ground. As they turned to walk out of the park, the brunette stopped, making the redhead behind of her do so also.
"I'm really sorry Tala," she whispered to herself, before walking up next to the Russian blader, acting as if she were going to give him a hug, but once she got an arm around his neck, a sharp needle appeared from out of her jacket, slipping into her hand with ease. The redhead was caught off guard, and didn't detect the threat right away, until he felt a sharp pain in his neck, before everything went dark.
/You're right, Wolf isn't here. /
/Thank you for the obvious statement Bryanl/ Kai snapped, glaring at the lilac haired blader.
/Shut up you ba- /
/Don't start anything you two/ Spencer warned, arms now crossed over his chest.
/Whatever. Now, when was the last time we saw Tala/ Kai asked, as he and the other three got into a small little group, as not to disturb the people watching the movie.
/He couldn't be in any trouble, I mean; this is Tala we're talking about. /
/Yeah Ian, but Boris has resurfaced, along with the help of that other freak, and it looks like they have their eyes on Tala for some reason/ Kai countered, as he slowly rubbed his now throbbing temples.
/Maybe we're thinking too much about this, look, if he doesn't show up in another hour we'll go look for him/ Bryan reassured, not in the mood to go looking for another person again.
/Fine. /
Mishka continued to hold Tala, mostly because he would fall to the ground the moment she let go, but because she found comfort in holding onto him, as if she hadn't just done another dirty deed for Ralf, it made her feel good inside, even if the act of love was one sided, it mad eher feel better anyways.
"This is the only way I can feel good anyways, no one could truly love some one like me…."
Ok, please don't kill me for the late update. I'm really sorry for how I keep on getting slower and slower at it, but hopefully this chapter will make up for it.
I would like to know if anyone readign this would happen to favor one of my OC, if so, please let me know. x3
GTBlader: I'm sorry about the whole updateing problem, I'm a complete nutcase at times.
I would like to thank whyamidoingthis01 and GTBlader for reviewing!
