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. I also do not own the song Perfect Enemy by t.A.T.u!
Pairings: Tyson x Hilary, Mariah x Rei and slight Mishka x Tala.
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. -.-;;
Dedications: This story is dedicated to three of the best authoresses ever! Yurii Savinov, who is awesome, Apple Senorita, who was so kind to let me use Blitzkreig, and Rand-Chan, whose so awesome for updateing her great story so frequantly!

"Oh shit"
Everyone turned wide eyed to look at Spencer due to his sudden outburst. Even his team shared quizzically looks as they watched the blonde, who in the past had proven to be the calmest and quietest of the group.
"I-I'm sorry," Spencer mumbled, a few sweat drops forming.
The others returned back to the movie, which was at its climax.
(What was that all about?) Bryan asked, earning some 'sssshhhh!' from Julia and Daichi who were nearby.
Bryan glared at the back of their heads, though turned away as Spencer spoke. (I heard Mishka on the phone again earlier, and I was coming up to tell you guys, but I must have forgotten when I found you two fighting!)
Kai couldn't hold back whacking Spencer on the head, (you idiot! What was she talking about?)
(Watch it Kai,) Spencer warned, (she was speaking in German, but I caught some of the words-)
(Wait, you know German?) Ian questioned.
Spencer let out a sigh, ( I know some, now if you'd shut up I'd be able to continue. Anyways, before I was interrupted, she was talking about being ready for some plan D, or something along that line. )
The other three fell silent, though it didn't last for long due to what sounded like the howling of a wolf coming from the room they kept the animals in. Kai got up to investigate what was going on, and as he opened the door to the room found Blitzkrieg was the one making the sorrowful sounding noise. Kai tried to whistle for Blitzkrieg to come over to him, but the dog ignored him and continued to howl mournfully.
"Blitzkrieg, what's wrong?"
Kai's face turned questioning as the dog dropped his head which had been raised in the process of his howling and seemed to bow his head, before laying down, the three miniature pinschers seemed to know what was going on, and also let out their own little barks before laying down and whimpering slightly.
"What's going on with the dogs, Kai?"
Kai turned to see Max and Mary standing behind him, confused and concerned looks on their faces. Kai just shrugged in reply, though as he thought about the way Blitzkrieg had been howling you felt a jolt of pain and… sadness? Whatever was wrong, he was going to find out right away. He pushed passed Max and Mary and went over to his team, motioning for them to follow him. The four grabbed their jackets, as it had started raining once more.
"Why was Blitzkrieg howling, Kai?" Ian questioned as he followed the others out the door.
Kai shut his eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of the rain dripping down his face," I've heard before that members of a pack can sense when another member is in trouble, and seeing as Bliztkrieg is part wolf and Tala would probably be considered a part of his pack, if not his leader…"
Ian stopped walking," wait, so you think something happened to him?"
"Do the math Ian; with the information Spencer just gave us, it is possible."
"Shut up Bryan, since when did you become the brain of this group?"
"Knock it off you two."
Bryan, who was about to say something; quickly shut his mouth and Kai's warning tone. The four continued on their search without speaking, other then the occasional order from Kai as to where to go.
"Sir, they caught on faster then we thought, they're making their way to the target."
"Ah yes, well come back to Headquarters, you'll be safest here from them."
"Yes sir."
Mishka hung up her black flip phone, tucking it away in one of the pockets on her trench coat. She let her one eyed gaze fall to the group of four nearby, before turning away and slowly maneuvering her way through the trees of the park so that she could find her way back to the main road and head towards the city. Even though it was dark outside, she made sure to stay quiet as she picked her way slowly towards her destination. After making her way onto the main road, and walking for a little bit, she found herself walking in the woods behind the Smith's house, Mishka felt herself being pulled back to the building, feeling the need to visit her brother one last time taking over her body, making her legs turn and walk in the direction of the house. She found an open window, which luckily was only a few rooms away from Sergei, and climbed in through it, landing softly on the other side. Mishka entered her brother's room silently, finding the brunette asleep, tired from everything he had done earlier.
(Hello Sergei) She whispered, fighting back the tears that wanted to form.
The said boy moved slightly in his sleep as Mishka spoke, though he quickly settled down again. Mishka made her way towards Sergei, going to sit down on the chair she had placed next to his bed. After taking a seat, she used one of her gloved hands to softly tuck Sergei's bangs behind his ears, smiling as she watched him sleep peacefully.
(Make sure to practice your English more, listen to whatever Ms. Kristin tells you to do, and don't forget me. )
With that, Mishka bent down and placed a quick kiss on Seregi's forehead. She could hear someone's foot steps nearing, and hurried to get out his window, though in her rush forgot to close the window behind her.
Ms. Kristin entered the room, a tray with a cup of water and some pain relievers in her hands. A slight shiver was sent up her spine as a cold night breeze blew through the open window in the room, shaking her head she set the tray down and shut the window, all the while muttering to herself.
"Kids these days, don't know when they'll catch a cold or not…"
"Hey, is that волк over there?"
Kai, Bryan, and Spencer turned in the direction that Ian was pointing in. The four had just walked into a park, which was luckily lit by lamps, which no one was at, other then someone who sat rather limply on a bench. The Russians made their way over to the bench, as they got closer fiery red hair was easily seen, it was in the same style as Tala's also.
Ian guessed who the person was immediately, "yo, Tala, what are you doing here? We've been looking al over for you!"
After no response came, the four rushed over, finding a very pale Tala, who seemed to be some where In between sleeping and being unconscious. The looks of relief on their faces disappeared, as Kai motioned for Bryan and Spencer to get Tala. He looked around suspiciously, searching for any sign of the person who could have done this, even if he knew the only person who would have, before following the rest of his team mates.
As they stepped into the house, some heads poked around the corner from the living room to see who was coming in the house, the faces turning from uninterested to surprised and concerned. Rei, Mariah, Laura, Oliver, Hilary, and Claude stumbled out of the living room to get over to the Blitzkrieg Boys, all asking questions about Tala, asking if he was ok and if they needed any help. As Spencer, Bryan, and Ian continued to bring Tala upstairs, Kai stood in front of the now gathered group and blocked them from getting up the stairs, crossing his arms across his chest and staring them all down.
"Hey Kai, what happened to Tala?"
"Kai! Where'd you find Tala at?"
"Kai, who did that to Tala?"
"Kai, do you need help with anything?"
"Hey Kai-"
"SILENCE!"
All mouths stopped moving and were quickly shut as the dual haired blader who had been blocking their way finally snapped; now bursting with anger. All of them slowly inched away, as Kai continued to glare at them, daring them to say something else. The quick realization that the TV was still on had people running to the Living Room as a rather ticked looking Spencer came up behind Kai, glaring at the group.
(We're having problems upstairs.)
(If someone does not remove his arms from around me right now, I'm going to break them off!)
Kai sighed as he heard the words while entering the room, wondering what Bryan's big problem was. As he walked into the room he could see why the lilac haired blader might be a little upset, for he was stuck on a bed with Tala's arms rapped tightly around him, while the redhead mumbled something as he continued to sleep on, whilst Bryan tried to free himself. All the while Ian was rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter.
Catching Kai's confused look, Spencer began to explain what the situation was,( as we went to put Tala on the bed, Bryan got tripped accidentally, so Ian claims, and ended up falling on the bed next to Wolf Boy, who for some reason decided to cling onto Bryan, and thus he won't let go and Bryan's about to kill him.)
Kai thought for a moment, before going over and poking Tala roughly in the side, causing the redhead to flinch and giving Bryan just enough time to slip out of his grasp. Once the warmth Bryan's body had been emitting was gone, Tala started to whimper and whispered words about wanting 'mother' back, and how the evil man Boris was going to get him, while he had his arms spread open for 'mother to come back into them.
(Oh, Bryan, you can't just leave him like that!) Kai protested, glaring at the said teen that simply crossed his arms.
(If you don't want him to whine, you go and play mother for him.)
Kai let out an exasperated sigh, before slowly letting himself slide down onto the bed, Tala quickly latching onto him. The redhead mumbled a few more words, a content look on his face, before letting out a slow breath and falling back into a steady sleep.
(Ha, you're never going to live this down, Hiwatari.)
Ian quickly shut his mouth as a glare was shot his way; the purple haired boy obviously wasn't going to get to have fun with this yet. Ian decided to just go to sleep, which happily invited him as his soft snoring could be heard almost exactly after his head hit his pillow. Bryan pulled Tala's sleeping bag over to his own, putting one on top of the other, in hope of having a more comfortable sleep, though it didn't really matter much since after a few minutes of lying in bed, his breathing turned steadier and he was out fast. Spencer followed suite, getting into his own bed after turning the lights out. Kai let out one last sigh before turning a bit, trying to make himself more comfortable, though he had to admit it felt comforting to have some one next to him, as thoughts of Boris raced through his mind. A slight moan was let out as Kai disturbed one of Tala's arms, making the bluenette frown to himself.
(Goodnight Yuri (1)….)
Mishka sat idly in a wooden chair, studying the cracks in the stone wall in front of her. She had made it back to 'head quarters', but once there she had been ordered to go to some room that was to be hers for their remainder of time in America. Having most her rebellious side hidden away, she quickly followed the order, thus ending up in a cold room, which was quite a relief seeing as outside was the opposite, with cracked stone walls with a desk, chair, and bed inside of it. Mishka, who'd been bored with lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling, had turned to sitting on the creaky wooden chair in front of the old desk and turned on her MP3 Player, humming softly along with the music playing.
"Why should I welcome your domination?
Why should I listen to explanations?
I'm not pretending to make it simple,
Try to be something experimental.
You don't turn me off,
I will never fail.
Things I loved before,
Are now for sale.
Keep yourself away,
Far away from me.
I'll forever stay your,
Perfect enemy.
No longer waiting, remove illusions.
No more complaining, forget confusion.
No more compassion, not sentimental,
I am now something experimental.
You don't turn me off,
I will never fail.
Things I loved before,
Are now for sale.
Keep yourself away,
Far away from me.
I'll forever stay your,
Perfect enemy.
You don't turn me off,
I will never fail.
Things I loved before,
Are now for sale.
Keep yourself away,
Far away from me.
I'll forever stay your,
Perfect enemy.
You don't turn me off,
I will never fail.
Things I loved before,
Are now for sale.
Keep yourself away,
Far away from me.
I'll forever stay your,
Perfect enemy."
She let out a deep sigh; she had made up her mind once and for all. There was no reason for her to continue on trying to defy Ralf and Boris, for they were the only ones who accepted her, and she would be a fool to act rudely towards them, or try to escape. She meant nothing to the world, which was the way it would always be, but maybe, just maybe, if she stayed with Ralf and Boris, she could at least mean something to them, no matter what the cost. Yes, that would be her final decision, at whatever cost she would make Ralf and Boris realize just how special she truly was, just how wonderful it was for them to have such a person working for them. No one else mattered; they'd just been acting the whole time, trying to pretend they cared about her, just so she would one day hopefully leave them. She would get revenge on them, all of them, for what they did to her.
(No matter what….)
"Auf Wiedersehen (2)!!"
Kai shifted in his sleep, before sitting up slowly and cautiously opening his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief as he found it still dark in the room. Standing up he wandered over to the window, peering through the blinds to find that the sun was just rising, and yet he could hear voices from the front of the house…. Oh, that's right, some teams were leaving. Hm, it felt like he was missing something still….
(Where's Wolf?)
Of course he got no answer, for no one else was awake in the room. Kai glanced towards the bed he had gotten up from, hi redheaded friend wasn't there, and he wasn't anywhere else in the room.
"Maybe he just went to the bathroom…."
Kai stepped over Ian and Bryan, accidentally stepping on Ian's hand causing the purple haired boy to yelp in pain, jumping up and reaching for his nearby gun.
(Calm down, it's only me,) Kai put his hands up in surrender.
Ian let out an exasperated sigh, setting his gun back down, (you should learn to be more stealthy, or else you're gonna find yourself shot one of these days.)
(Was that a threat?)
(Depends on how you view it.)
Kai rolled his eyes, before turning to leave the room, instead tripping over Bryan, who had shifted his position while they had been talking.
(Shit!)
Ian winced as he watched Kai face plant into the floor, falling over top of Bryan, who reacted by throwing Kai off of him in a not so gentle way. The bluenette now lay motionless near the door, Ian looking from him to the confused and half-asleep Bryan. All he commotion causing Spencer to wake up, though, like Bryan, he was still half-asleep and didn't know what was going on around him.
Spencer finally took in everything around him, (what are you three doing? And where's Tala?)
Ian and Bryan turned towards the bed Tala had been in, turned and gave each other questioning looks, before turning back to Spencer, (we don't know.)
(What? You don't know where he is? And what did you do to Kai!)
The two winced as Spencer started to yell, and to think it was still early in the morning and they had managed to get him angry….
(Well, Kai tripped over me and it woke me up and I through him off of me,) Bryan hesitantly answered, watching for Spencer's response.
(I can't even sleep in peace without you people causing trouble!) Spencer exclaimed, letting out a frustrated sigh before falling back onto his bed and shoving his pillow over his head.
As Spencer mumbled a few curse words at Bryan and Ian, Kai slowly started to move, lifting his head up to glare at the door in front of him. He used his elbows to help turn himself towards the others, now glaring at the falcon across from him. Bryan noticed the bluenette move and turned to him, an innocent smirk on his face.
As Kai was about to say something, he was interrupted by Ian, (Um, you two I probably wouldn't fight right now since Spencer's already ticked.)
Kai and Bryan considered his words for a moment. Kai settled with just flipping the falcon off, getting a growl in response. At hearing the growl, Spencer threw his pillow at Bryan, and reached down and grabbed Ian's pillow and flung it at Kai.
(We've got to eat and then go search for Wolf Boy.)
Mishka had been kept up all night by the moaning of some people, who apparently worked for Boris and Ralf, though by what information she had gathered, they had gone on a mission to get rid of Kai and failed, badly. Other then that, she just had an aching feeling in the pit of her stomach, trying to get her to run away now, whilst she was doing dirty work for Boris and Ralf, but she would just push the feeling aside and focus on her task. Plus, they most likely had at least one person watching her to make sure she was doing the right thing, well at least what they had told her to do….
Mishka let out an exasperated sigh, finally finished with the wiring she had been doing. She stood up, straightening her crisp outfit and fixing her cap so that it sat on her head correctly, before prancing off in the direction of the exit, keeping a smile on her face while she passed employees in the same uniforms as herself.
(Boris and Ralf are so going to pay for this….)
She tried to pull her navy blue skirt down a bit so that it wasn't so short feeling, even though she had knee high socks on. As she entered the main part of the airport she was in, she turned a corner and headed towards the bathroom. Sensing someone following her, she turned quickly, her braided pony tail whipping behind her as she turned. No one out of the ordinary seemed to be there though.
"Odd… Phantom Einhorn, can you sense if anyone is following us?"
"I'm sorry my mistress, but I'm failing to locate anyone."
"Hm… oh no, here comes the teams."
Mishka hurried into the women's bathroom as the sound of excited voices could be heard. She made her way to a stall near the back, once entering it she went to stand on the toilet seat so she could reach up to the ceiling, when two gossiping voices stopped her.
"Yeah, I know, but Lee told me I wasn't allowed to buy anything else that was pink."
"Since when do you start listening to him?"
"Unlike you Julia, I can't go against my brother; there are rules about it in my village."
"So, are you in your village?"
Giggling could be heard now. Mishka cursed under her breath as she noticed one of them go into the stall next to her, lifting her feet up onto the toilet seat, she cursed herself for wearing high-heels, and the airport for not having toilet seat covers.
(Oh this is so nasty….)
Mariah and Julia were now washing there hands, before they shortly exited. Releasing the breath she hadn't known she'd been holding, Mishka listened for any more voices before lifting her hands up and moving one of the ceilings panels out of the way and grabbing a bag out of it. She changed into an outfit of what most Americans called a 'punk'; she stuck on some fake piercings and styled her hair, before taking up her bag and heading out.
Crystal blue eyes locked onto their target, brushing red bangs out of their way. The different words surrounding the person his eyes followed change every so often as the target moved into a different area, calculating distance and such.
(Target has exited building, follow at….)
He listened as the main part of his system gave him orders, before slowly following his target outside, blending in with the other crowds of people.
Exiting the cab she had managed to hail, Mishka made her way down a crowded street, before turning into a less crowded area. This part of town wasn't as familiar to her, due to it was more of the outskirts, but she still managed to find the small brick house easily. Walking up to the front door, she let herself in, stepping into the house and making her way towards the kitchen, turning into the pantry and opening a door that was hidden behind some boxes that were stacked up. Having to put some power into, she opened the door that soon revealed a flight of stairs that went down into what looked like a basement, though as she entered the area other doors and hallways leading off to other places became visible. As Mishka went to walk down one of the hallways, she stopped as someone spoke to her from behind.
"Hello my dear."
Mishka turned, facing Ralf with an emotionless mask," Hello sir…"
Ralf's face lit up with a taunting smile," aw, can't you be a bit happier? I enjoy seeing a smile on your face."
A rough hand then stroked her cheek, before the owner walked passed her. Mishka's eye widened, this was just like with her 'father', just he was as gentle, but maybe this way just his way of showing his appreciation towards her…. Maybe….
(Got to your room, you'll tell us how your mission went at lunch.)
Mishka jumped at Boris's voice, as a hand grasped her shoulder and yanked her in the direction of her room, breaking her out of the trance like state she had been in.
(Where do you think Wolf possibly could have gone to, I mean it's not like he was in the best of health last night.)
Bryan stifled a yawn, before lightly hitting Ian on the head, as a signal to say 'shut up'. The two, plus Kai, Spencer and Blitzkrieg, had only been walking for about fifteen minutes, but the morning was surprisingly chilly and their jackets were all soaked. Kai had decided to go to the park they had found Tala in first, though he doubted they'd actually find him there.
(Kai, do you think Tala was taken by,) Ian took a gulp before continuing, (do you think he was taken by Boris?)
The older three of the group looked to each other wearily, before Kai stared down at Ian almost sympathetically, (of course not, do you think Tala would really let himself be taken by Boris?)
Ian let out a relieved sigh, not noticing the grim looks on the rest of his team's faces. Whimpering could be heard on Blitzkrieg behalf, receiving a soft tug on his leash for him to quiet down.
Tapping could be heard as Boris and Ralf waited impatiently for their two 'employees'. Before Boris could break Ralf's fingers, due to him being the cause of the tapping noise, a figure opened the door, before stepping into the room.
(Aw, Tala, nice to see you finally made it,) Boris glared intently at the person.
(Sorry sir,) the redhead replied in a monotone voice, ignoring the voice in the back of his head telling him the distance from where he was standing to his destination.
Boris nodded, letting it slide this once due to certain circumstances. Tala went to take his seat as he could hear the door behind him opening again. After taking a seat, his cold blue eyes fixed on his 'partner', whose one icy blue eye that was uncovered seemed to have widened as it took in who was present in the room for a moment, before quickly regaining its normal state.
(Sir, when you told me I might have a partner in my work, I never knew you meant him…)
Ralf's face lit up as he watched Mishka stare aimlessly at the ground, mumbling most of her sentence. Boris, watching the reaction from the man next to him raised an eye brow suspiciously, but having lost over ten minutes of precious time already didn't want to get into anything.
(Yes, well Tala shall be your partner, now take a seat so we can begin, you've already wasted some of my time.)
Mishka nodded and took a seat next to Tala, scooting a bit over to the side as she noticed the seemingly spacing out redhead.
(Now, I assume you took great care with your mission?) Boris asked, folding his fingers together and place his hands on the table, looking from Tala to Mishka.
Tala turned towards Boris, (of course sir, I made sure to take care of anything suspicious that she would have left behind.)
(I followed all of your directions and carried out the mission as you told me,) Mishka finished, hoping for approval from her two elders.
"Ah, very good, but of course such a worthless thing like you must have gained some sort of knowledge growing up in my building," Ralf smirked with approval, though his words didn't show it much.
Tala tasked himself with translating what Ralf had said, and once done simply nodded. A frustrated look stuck on Boris's face as he heard the man next to him speak in German, one of the few languages he hadn't bothered to learn, whilst Mishka just continued to stare down at the floor.
(Very well, you two are dismissed now seeing as I don't have time to go over your next mission, you both are tasked to keep me posted on when the plane crashes and such though.)
With that Boris and Ralf stood up and exited the room, soon followed by Tala. Slight shivers ran up and down Mishka's spine, though shaking off all thoughts other then what she needed to do, she stood up and also left the room, closing the heavy door behind her.
The Blitzkrieg Boys all walked into the Smith's house tiredly, it was about 12:00 now and they had been searching for their redheaded friend all morning. Ms. Kristin had been back from dropping the teams off for a couple of hours, and Miranda and Mary had been weeping over their departure.
"What if we never see them again?" Miranda sobbed, dabbing her eyes with a tissue.
"What fit their plane crashes and they get eaten by sharks?" Mary questioned, shortly after blowing her nose.
Blitzkrieg trotted up to the two and set his head onto Mary's lap, staring up at her with comforting eyes. Mary smiled and patted the wolf dogs head, sniffling a bit even as she talked sweetly to him.
Miranda wiped her red, puffy eyes off of tears as she noticed the Blitzkrieg Boys walk in," where have you all been?"
"Looking around the town," Ian simply stated, then turning to follow the rest of his dreary team up the stairs to their room.
Miranda scrunched her face up into a confused look," looking for what?"
She got no answer as the door upstairs to their room could be heard shutting with a loud thud. She was about to comment on it, just as a hysterical looking Laura ran into the room.
"Iwaswatchingtvwhenthenewscameonandtheysaidaplanecrashedintotheocean!"
Miranda and Mary stared dumbfounded at her, trying to figure out just what she had said to them. Mary was the first of the two to finally translate it.
"Wait, a plane crashed into the ocean? Where was it coming from? Where was it headed to?"
(1) Yuri; I decided that Yuri (which is Tala's Japanese name.) would be Tala's real name, Tala just being one of his various nick names, and it was only used in a very affectionate way by his friends.
(2) Auf Wiedersehen; This should be German for 'Good bye'.
Sorry for the long wait, and that this chapter is really crappy. Some of the writing might be different through out the chapter due to how I was feeling as I wrote it. Mishka is now doing dirty work for Boris and Ralf, so it should get a little bit more interesting next chapter, seeing as I'm also nearing the end of this story.
I've got little stories for different parts of this chapter, but I'm really tired right now so I'm not going to type all of them up. xD;; Just be aware that this is not a yaoi story, the part with Tala and Kai was just supposed to be a cute little friendship scene, though when I first thought up this idea instead of Tala it was Spencer, and he had gotten high off of some freaky drug Boris had created... Anyways, I won't bother you lovely readers with any more.
Before I go, I must thank my reviewers! she-devil-16, Yurii Savinov and whyamidoingthis01 thank you for reviewing, and everyone else reading this story should review too!
