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?

(We're finally here,) Bryan exclaimed in an exasperated manner, as he and the others with him got out of their taxi.
Kai paid for the ride, and they all grabbed their bags out of the back. Ian seemed to walk behind them especially slow as they entered the airport, a frown stuck on his face. Glancing towards Tala, who had a small grin on his face for the first time since he had been back the night before, he looked back down on the ground, releasing a low sigh. After going through security, signing a few autographs, taking care of their luggage, and getting Blitzkrieg to where he needed to be, the four of them sat down in the chairs outside of where their flight was supposed to come in.
(What's your problem?) Bryan questioned, turning towards Ian, whose face looked like it would fall off as it was held up by his hand and his elbow rested on the arm rest.
Ian let out yet another sigh, (You wouldn't believe me if I told you…)
(Try me, I'm bored.)
Looking over to where Kai and Tala were seated across from them, both reading books, Ian figured he had nothing to lose by telling Bryan anyways, (I believe something is up with Wolf, I mean, he just hasn't been acting the same-)
(Do you have to go to the bathroom?)
Ian raised an eyebrow at the sudden question, (Um yeah, but why does that matter-)
Bryan stood up from his seat, pulling Ian up by his collar, "We're going to the bathroom; we'll be back in a few minutes."
Kai nodded back, not bothering to look up from his book. Bryan led Ian down the terminal's hallway to the bathroom, and brought him inside the men's room. Ian stared up questioningly at Bryan, who seemed to be thinking something over in his mind.
Bryan scratched the back of his head nervously, (I hate to agree with you, but I think something's up with him too.)
Ian almost fainted as he heard the words, (Finally, someone believes me!)
(But is there really anyway we can prove something's up with him, and if so, what's he up to?)
(Let's see, Blitzkrieg attacked him last night, he suddenly decided that he wanted to go back to the motherland, and he's just been acting really weird! I don't know what he could be planning though…)
(Yeah, he told me to use a tissue… But maybe he isn't doing this alone? I mean the whole thing with Mishka and all? Some things got to be up…)
The two looked thoughtful for a moment, before Ian quickly broke the silence, (Hold that thought!)
Bryan sighed as Ian hurried off to do his 'business', and waited for the small teen to get back. Tapping his foot impatiently, he glared down at the purple haired youth as he came back, a smile sketched onto his face at irritating the taller Russian.
(Anyways, what can we do?)
Bryan scratched the back of his head again, this time in a thoughtful motion, (I don't know, maybe we should just hang back for a while, and if we see him doing anything out of the ordinary, then we'll just… beat him up or something…)
Ian shrugged, (I guess that's all we've got for now, but I'll keep you posted on any new plans me or Wyborg com up with.)
Bryan looked down curiously at Ian, before rolling his eyes, (You're such a freak…)
Kai eyed the hallway Bryan and Ian had disappeared down, as the announcement came over the terminal speaker that their flight was ready for passengers to board. Tapping his foot impatiently, he couldn't think of anything that could be possibly holding them up, and was contemplating on going to look for them. Just as he was about to get up, the two he had been waiting for finally came into sight.
"Took you both long enough," Tala commented, as he and Kai stood up out of their seats.
Ian shrugged," I couldn't find a sink with a faucet that actually worked, plus I dared Bryan to go into the women's restroom."
Bryan rolled his eyes," Whatever, we just need to get on that flight."
Tala seemed to fidget for a moment at the last word, before he seemed to regain his composure. Nodding the ok, the four went to get in the line that had formed next to the desk outside of where they got onto the airplane.
Ian shifted uncomfortably in his seat as Bryan turned the page in the 'Bloodiest Serial Killers' book he was reading. Before he could effectively inch over to the farthest side of his seat, Bryan let out a short sneeze; cursing to himself all the while Ian got him a tissue. It actually had been some fun getting through security, well at least for Ian, with Bryan's bag full of tissues.
-Flash Back-
Bryan put his carry on bag onto the machine that would x-ray it basically, along with his shoes, Ian's small carry on bag, and Ian's shoes. The security guard watching the items go passed the screen raised an eyebrow as their items went through.
"There a reason you have fix boxes of tissues stuffed in your bag?"
Bryan had just gotten finished using the back of his hand to wipe his nose," Um yeah, the reason is because I've got a freakin' cold."
Ian's snickering could be heard from behind, as the security guard continued to eye them suspiciously," Dude, what can tissues do? I mean, come on!" He turned to Bryan, laughter still present in his voice as he switched languages, (Wow, American's really are paranoid!)
"What did he just say?" the security guard ordered, eyes turning hawk-like.
Bryan sighed," He's just an immature twelve year old, his comments aren't even worth translating."
"What. Did. He. Say."
"Hey, I'm not twelve!"
Bryan let out a low growl, about to punch Ian, before Kai luckily came to the rescue and cleared the whole thing up.
-End Flash Back-
"Good times, good times…"
Bryan gratefully took the tissue from the purple haired teen, raising an eye brow as he watched a sinister smile come onto his face. What was he up to now? Seated in front of the two were Kai and Tala, the former fast asleep, while the redhead just stared out the window of the plane.
Ian smirked once more, as the memory of the lady at the counter came to mind…
-Flash Back-
"Flight 108," Kai spoke in his oh-so-cheerful-with-a-stuffed-up-nose voice, as he handed his and the rest of the teams, aside from Spencer's, ticket to a black haired woman behind a desk.
"Oh dear, you sound like you've got a cold! Do you need anything?" The woman asked in a worried tone.
Kai had in mind a cup of cold water, before Tala stepped up in front of him," No ma'am, we just need to get to our flight."
"Oh, that accent! Are you from Russia?!"
Tala tilted his head to the side just a tad bit, he had an accent? Nonetheless, they needed to get to their terminal quickly," Yes ma'am, now we really must be off-"
"I have a… cousin, I believe, who lives there!" The woman continued on, ignoring the mournful looks she was getting from the four teens in front of her, "If I can remember correctly, his name is… Nikolia maybe?"
"Great, well, we really must be go-"
"He lives in a town near St. Petersburg!" She exclaimed, the thought just hitting her," So, what part of Russia are you from?"
"We have to go, now, so please excuse us!" Tala had finally lost his cool, a small side effect from not getting his systems rebooted correctly.
Ian smirked," Actually, we're from Moscow. If you ever happen to be around, just give us a call and we'll be sure to give you a tour of the city." With that, he placed a slip of paper with Tala's cell phone number on it onto the desk, before Kai dragged him off in the direction the other two were going in.
-End Flash Back-
Yep, their trip would be perfect, if it wasn't for the fact that something weird was up with Tala, and that Boris was on the loose in some town in the U.S. But what did he care? He was supposed to be the childish and burden free one of the team, right? Either way, he would keep a sharp eye on his redheaded companion here on out.
Taking in a deep breath of cold air, and then exhaling, Tala let out a small sigh, (Finally back in the motherland…)
Ian shrugged, (Moscow's nice and all, but I was so close to hooking up Miranda, I just needed a couple of more days!)
The other three rolled their eyes, before heading off in the direction of where Taxi's were lined up, waiting for customers. Hailing one, they threw their stuff in the trunk before getting in, Blitzkrieg right behind them, though this time on a leash, welcoming the heat graciously, seeing as it was already entering the winter season. Once giving directions, they settled in or the slow ride of getting through traffic to their hotel, which was a cheaper one on the outskirts of the large city. Once finally reaching the shabby building, the team got out into the cold Russian air once more and headed off to find their room. After checking in, Kai led them into a small room.
Ian let out a low sigh, the room consisted of a small, probably broken, fridge, two twin sized beds, a small roll-in-bed, a dresser, a black and white television, and a few lamps here and there. They had been told the washroom was down the hall, so that would mean he would have to walk outside during his nightly trips to the bathroom…
(You couldn't have gotten us a better place? I mean, look, there's not even enough beds for all of us!) Ian exclaimed, dropping his duffel bag onto the floor in a huff.
Tala shook his head disapprovingly, (Just be glad you have a roof over your head. Anyways, would you rather us spend all of are money on a nice hotel room, or on next months rent for our apartment?)
(Whatever…) Ian mumbled, knowing full well he'd be the one stuck at the end of one of their beds for the night.
Bryan and Kai let out simultaneous yawns, glared at each other for a moment, before claiming the two twin beds as their own by plopping themselves onto, Bryan not so gracefully as he landed with a loud 'thud'. Both proceeded to then fall asleep in their clothes, caring that they hadn't eaten anything either. Tala pulled out the roll-in-bed, making it up with the sheets, blankets, and pillows that had been placed nearby, before grabbing his duffel bag and heading for the door.
(I'm going to the washroom; I'll be back in a couple of minutes.)
(Ok,) Ian replied, a bored expression on his face.
But the moment Tala shut the door and couldn't see him any longer, Ian rushed over to where Bryan was snoring, and started shaking his shoulders, trying to get him up. The end result was him getting punched in the face, so the smaller teen decided he'd have to watch Tala himself this time. Blitzkrieg looked up from the place he had laid himself down, staring up at Ian with what look liked a raised eyebrow.
(Ok Blitz, you make sure no one comes and kills the two 'rocks', since I don't even think Kai would wake up if someone came in,) Ian commanded, patting the dog on the head, before exiting the room.
Tala looked around suspiciously, before quietly opening the door to the 'utility room' of the 'hotel'. Setting his duffel bag on the ground, he unzipped it and started searching through it, before pulling out a small box. Carefully opening the package, he grabbed out a black object, a small screen on it, along with a couple of different buttons. The redhead smiled triumphantly, (What a bitch you have been, still can't believe I managed to switch bags out of the trunk of that taxi without the other three idiots noticing.) Placing the object firmly on a tank o some sort in front of him, he then pressed some of the buttons before the set time of '15 minutes' came up, and slowly started counting down.
Listening for any noise, Tala left the room when he heard none, just as he was turning; the all too familiar face of Ian greeted him.
(What'cha doing in there?) Ian questioned, one purple eyebrow raised.
Tala shrugged, knowing he didn't have a good enough excuse of why he was in the room. When Ian persisted with asking him questions about it, the redhead glanced overhead, where the door to their room could be seen. Grabbing Ian by the collar of shirt, he decided the best way to deal with him would just be over powering him, in away at least. Ian tried to protest as Tala walked up the stairs to the second floor, still holding Ian by the collar as he managed to unlock their hotel door, and threw him in the room, slamming in shut afterwards.
(Hey, what are you doing?!) Ian hollered, jiggling with the handle that Tala had made sure would not comply with him.
The older Russian ignored the yelling, as he pulled out his cell phone, calmly dialing Boris' number as he walked down the stairs once more, heading towards the meeting point they had decided on, where a car would be waiting for him.
(Hello?) Boris answered, not as irritated as he had sounded before.
(Sir, the timers been set, it should go off in about nine minutes,) The redhead informed, finally spotting the vehicle he was supposed to drive.
(Perfect! Not it will only be a matter of time before at least three of them are taken care of! I can imagine it now, the three of them pleading for you to come and save them, and asking what they could have done to deserve such a fate. While you, the best of them all, gets away, having planned it all, as flames of the now destroyed hotel burn in the background! Just thinking of their blood curdling cries sends a wave of power through out my body!)
Tala nodded slowly, the whole image coming into mind. Something snapped inside of him, and instead of his computer like vision, everything became clear, as he slammed shut his cell phone, discarding it onto the ground. He needed to save his friends! How could he have let himself be controlled like that?
Rushing back to the building he had just left, he checked the watch on his wrist; he figured he had about five minutes to get them out. Running up the stairs to the second floor, he seemed to appear in front of the hotel door that his team was staying in immediately, fumbling with the door knob to get it open.
(Who is that?) Ian called from inside.
(It's me, Tala. What's up with this door knob, it won't open?)
(What are you doing back?) Bryan suddenly growled, (And why don't you tell us what you did to it?)
Tala fought back the stinging feeling of tears that was coming to his eyes, (I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…) Finally giving up on the door knob, the redhead stepped back, kicking forcefully at the door. It gave way, toppling over, as Ian, Bryan, and Kai stared dumbfounded.
(You guys, this is no time to gawk over a broken door, hurry up and get out, we've got… two minutes!) Tala ordered, using the back of his hand to wipe away a lone tear that had managed to fall.
(What?) Kai questioned.
(Just shut up and get out of the room!)
Bryan grabbed Ian, who had fainted and fallen onto the floor, while Kai motioned for Blitzkrieg to follow them.
(One minute now, hurry! We've got to get as far away as possible!) Tala exclaimed, as Blitzkrieg walked passed him and trotted down the stairs as if nothing was going on.
Bryan glanced towards the stairs, and then towards the railing in front of him, (Oh screw it!) He shoved Ian into Kai's arms, before jumping the railing and landing onto the ground beneath as if effortlessly, (Throw Ian down here!) Kai nodded slightly, leaning over the edge of the railing and dropping Ian down, who landed in Bryan's arms as if he were some kind of damsel in distress.
Tala glanced down at his watch once more, (Bryan, get you and Ian as far away as possible! Kai, you jump the railing too!)
Kai could sense the difference in his friend's voice; he truly did seem to be back to normal. Why hadn't he believed Ian before? (No, I'm not leaving you.)
Tala let out an exasperated sigh, (Stop trying to play the hero, and jump!)
Kai was going to protest further, before Tala pushed his friend right next to the railing, causing the bluenette to finally just jump down. Tala followed after him, checking his watch, he looked around hurriedly. There wouldn't be enough time for them far enough away before the bomb went off. As the two started running, a screeching noise could be heard, before a loud explosion followed after. Tala used himself as a shield, blocking Kai from taking any hits from pieces of wall and debris flew around them as they were tossed into the air.
Everything for the redhead went black, as the words seemed to run across his blank 'screen', 'System Failure, Shutting Down.' The last words he could hear as immense heat ran across his body were something along the line of, (Tala, no, don't die on me, please!) Before what seemed to be nothing, just darkness…
A/N: So maybe it wasn't the best ending, but hey, I actually kind of liked it. xD;; It was really hard for me to write the serious parts though, so considering how they turned out, they're not that bad, I hope... Anyways, I will ahve an epilouge up! Maybe even today, if I'm inspired enough, but if not then definatly very soon! Also, sorry to inform to those who wish it, but I probably won't be doing a sequel, it'll probably be best to just leave it as it is after the epilouge. I'm actually kind of proud of this story, it'll be the first chapter sotry I've actually finished, and when I go back to look at the begining chapters, I can see just how much I've truly improved in my writing, at leats I hope I have...
Anyways, you don't want to hear/read me ramble on, so onwards we go!
Kris24 and Alix13; Sorry I won't be doing a sequel, but maybe someday I'll get an inspiration for one, so never lose hope! xD;; Also, real sorry about the whole TalaxMishka thing, I kind of decided I didn't want too much romance in my story, because I'm horrible when it comes to writing stuff like that, so once again, sorry! I will have a little part for them in the epilouge though! Thank you for reviewing!
Also, thank you TK and xXxLuna-the-ChosenxXx for reviewing the last chapter!
