Chapter 34
Spencer and Ian looked like they were about to collapse under the strain they were having trying to defend Bryan as he was almost was flung into the wall by the large bitbeast, Kai on the other hand was still sobbing and Tala was still trying to figure a way to stop Kai giving energy to his bitbeast that seemed to rule even Kai's thoughts.
"Just tell her to get lost Kai!" Tala was loosing the small amount of patience he had left, and watched as the other boy began to sob again, he sighed, not really thinking it was fair but in the end it might give Kai some new out-look on what was happening.
"Kai!" Tala grabbed him and pulled him up until he was standing, "Look at everyone!" Kai managed to timidly looked at everyone that was currently battling, even Wolborg was still biting and growling, causing Tala much pain just to try to help the other boy up.
Everyone's beyblades were smashed to almost nothing, attack rings and defence rings were nearly falling off, as they were smashed against other metals and the walls of the dish again and again. "They're trying to help you, trying to get Black Dranzer away – and you won't even try!" Tala frowned at the smaller boy, how hadn't grown as much as Tala would have thought even though he probably had a better life outside the walls of the Abbey.
"She'll get angry…" Kai muttered not wanting to disobey the large phoenix, he didn't know what he could do – he was only small, and so insignificant compared to Black Dranzer. Tala winced as his beyblade was set skidding along the edge of the dish, only to be pulled back down as his beyblade slowed down.
"Just do it…" Another pain wave hit Tala as he struggled to keep himself up, he looked back at the match, and just hoped that Wolborg would hang in as would everyone else. He looked back at Kai would seemed to be thinking hard, "Okay…" He muttered, though he started to whimper, at least now he was fighting Tala sighed a little happier that he knew that the boy was still loyal – at least.
There were always rumours going around the Abbey, though Tala had asked Boris why Kai had disappeared, and he was given no reply which meant that something was happening. Tala then had heard something from someone that Kai had only made them fall out so they wouldn't be killed, though Tala had brushed it off as merely a rumour. However it was beginning to make a little more sense….A little.
Another whimper escaped Kai, and the large bird seemed infuriated, "Everyone! Get ready for our last attack!" I hope. Tala looked at the boy beside him he looked as if he were being tormented, though for some reason the dark beast began to slowly fade away…Only to reappear slightly smaller than before.
"Attack!" Everyone yelled, hoping that they would have ended the battle that they were sure would leave a few scars, physical or otherwise. Another yelp of pain came from Kai, but only because his beyblade and bitbeast were defeated with a deafening cry.
Spencer and Ian stood up, while Bryan looked around wondering if it was done, they all smirked at one another – their old team was the best. The victory did not last long as a voice that was most hated broke the comforting silence.
"You may all become part of the Neoborg team. However, Kai, I wish to speak to you." It was the voice of Boris and Kai looked at the floor as he heard his name being mentioned. Tala was slightly annoyed that Kai couldn't join them in the team – not only did he help weaken it but to stand up to a bitbeast that could do almost anything was certainly brave. Still Tala had made it into the team, and no less he was sure that the years to come would be as hard as the beybattle they had all just taken part in.
As the years went by and Ian had finally turned thirteen, and everyone else had turned a few years older, the Neoborg Team were still unsure on what to do as they were supposedly the strongest team in the Abbey, which was hard to believe since there were others that were older and stronger looking than them.
Kai had been given Dranzer back and he was fairly content in being underneath the Neoborg Team as a result of not being able to control Black Dranzer, he would only let himself lose to people he knew and respected.
Though something had happened, which caused Kai to turn once again into the anti-sociable boy that he was once, ignoring the other members of the group he had been placed in. Tala and the rest of the group were now on fairly decent terms and they had decided to let Kai's betrayal slip for the moment. That was until Kai decided to leave, on his own will, he decided he would disappear, and beyblade outside the Abbey like he had done in the regional match in Japan.
No one had tried to run in a few years, though Kai wouldn't run he would walk away from this horrible place that filled his life with regret and pain, and was the reason why he had a stupid, dark, bitbeast whispering how worth-less he was. As if he didn't know that already…
It was snowing again, in fact it was almost a blizzard as if Wolborg had used one of his attacks all night long and coated the whole of Russia with snow and ice. There was a large fence, not like Kai wouldn't be able to scale it, but something was annoying him – if he left now everyone would believe he was betraying them again. He wasn't!
He just couldn't take it anymore, the whole Grandfather trying to take over the world and using his friends to do that. He would never succeed, he would never get this little goal out into the world, never. The main building was behind him, and he was at the end, where no one was meant to go… Kai smirked when he heard a small noise behind him that oddly resembled someone sneezing. "Tala you can stop hiding." He heard someone chuckle and the redhead came out from behind one of the indents that happened to be just at the right place for him to watch Kai.
He hugged himself hoping that he wouldn't gain a cold for being outside without a thick jacket on, "You still have good ears." Kai didn't turn around and continued to stare off into the white abyss. "Whatever." Was all that Kai answer with. Tala frowned as he looked ahead, it was obvious that Kai wasn't looking at something but just looking into space. "Why are you out here?" Tala frowned lightly as the cold began to annoy him a little more than it should.
Kai looked down at the ground that was covered in mucky snow and slush he was trying to form a sentence that would just explain everything that he had done the past few years – just so Tala would understand though he couldn't and simply sighed, answering Tala's question as best as he could.
"I'm leaving." Kai said calmly, he didn't care anymore he felt so cold inside as if nothing could hurt him anymore, not even the confused expression Tala was giving him. There was only one question that came to Tala's mind. "Why?"
"You can stay because you are in a team with respect Tala. You're the leader – you're top of this whole Abbey… I on the other hand let a stupid bitbeast control me." Kai bowed his head again hating the fact that almost everyone in the Abbey knew about the incident with Black Dranzer. How pitiful.
"Black Dranzer feeds on negative feelings - the Abbey and it are made for each other." Tala was trying to make it sound as if it wasn't Kai's fault even though he was sure that anyone wouldn't be able to survive a mental attack from such a powerful being.
"That's why I'm leaving." Another blunt reply, Tala looked straight ahead they had all lost their personalities a little, Tala would probably have ran up and hug him until he changed his mind. Now all of his confidence was broken and all he could do was try to talk Kai out of doing what he said. "Why not...stay?"
"I can't take this anymore." Kai meant everything not just the cold and horrible nights, not the constant training… The yelling, the taunting…Everything was beginning to push Kai closer and closer towards the edge.
"Just stay, or else." Kai smirked a little taken aback at the cold response from Tala, turning to face him, Kai tilted his head slightly. "Is that a threat Tala?" Kai sighed as it was Tala's turn to stare off into the white oblivion.
"It may be." Tala muttered, he watched as Kai began to scale the fence, it didn't look so big anymore, maybe it was because they were taller and didn't look so big or maybe it was just that they had never been so big just…That everyone knew that they could escape if they wanted to. Kai jumped down and landed at the other side of the fence, he turned on his heel to face Tala once again.
"Tell on me when I leave, if you want to stop yourself from getting into trouble." Kai was sure that the guards could notice that there were two people – from one of the best groups around the back, and if they saw Tala just standing there he would get punished and Kai did not want that to happen. Surprisingly Tala shook his head, although his eyes stayed blank of any emotion his face twisted with annoyance and sadness.
"I guess you have never grasped the meaning of friend." Kai shook his head, though agreeing with the statement Tala had just said, he had never really understood, even though Tala and everyone else had tried to explain it earlier on in their lives… Though now even they didn't understand it fully.
"Then you'll get punished like you should." Kai turned around and took a step away from the building that would soon be blocked by his mind to keep him at rest, to stop any nights becoming restless.
"Stay Kai…" Kai turned around, now Tala was looking mighty annoyed and angry, as if someone had just insulted him. Out of everything that had happened Tala didn't want Kai to leave since he would end up having to explain to everyone else where Kai had gone to. That would not be an easy task to even bring up.
Kai turned back around and glared back at the redhead, "Why should I?" His eyes narrowed, though Tala stayed blank of emotion once again but it did not make him stop trying to get his friend to stay.
"If you turn your back on them again they'll hate you…" Tala was slightly confused, out of all of the moments Kai could have picked, he had picked the time when his own so-called promotion would come up. Then again that would mean someone would be dropped from the current team, maybe which was why Kai had decided to leave. Kai sighed, out of relief or sadness Tala didn't know. "They already do."
The redhead was quick to fire back an answer, "No they don't." It was if it were an automatic response, even though he knew that Kai had heard him, it didn't stop the blue-haired teen to walk further away.
Shouting out, hoping that the blader would stop and come back to the Abbey, at least until the harsh winter was over. "Kai!" The younger boy seemed to contemplate something, something that Tala didn't like the feeling of.
Out of the blue Kai said bluntly, telling Tala know that it wasn't some joke he was telling. "Come with me." Tala blinked and thought over it – he did want to leave, how he desperately wanted to leave but…But he just couldn't. "I can't." Tala shook his head not wanting to leave everyone else in the Abbey.
Kai turned around slowly, he was beginning to wonder if Tala would actually come with him, he wasn't really sure if he could leave and be…Outside the Abbey all on his own. "Sure you can, just climb and hop over." Kai said it slowly, watching in case Tala gave off any indication on what he would do.
"I can't leave everyone else. I'd feel too guilty if I left them here. Won't you feel guilt for leaving all of here?" Tala frowned when all Kai did was shrug, after a short moment he looked up into the sky. He answered, "I don't know – I haven't left yet." Another short pause.
Even with the cold temperatures Kai didn't shiver, though seemed to want to escape from the conversation was getting increasingly tedious. Kai left, walking away as quickly as he could, folding his arms so he could at least try to keep some body heat, he then heard Tala shouting loudly. "If you leave…the next time we meet we won't be friends!" Kai stopped dead in his tracks.
Kai looked at the ground, thinking about what he had just heard – being enemies with Tala? Surely he didn't mean that…"Are you sure about that…?" Kai muttered to himself, he shouted back his response. "Then Tala…I'm looking forward to our next beybattle, whenever it may be."
Tala sighed as he watched the other teenager leave, he would now have to try to explain this to the rest of Neoborg Team. Although the more Tala thought about it the more he began to dislike the fact that Kai had just left him – and everyone else in the Abbey. What if he couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't just disappear so easily without a care in the world. What if...The outside world was completely different, from what he had heard it was slack and filled with the stupidity that was humanity.
Standing in the Abbey was his decision he simply told the others what had happened and let them make their own minds up about it. There was no point in defending someone that would just get up and leave as soon as it got a little too hard for them.
Over the years Tala and the rest of the Neoborg Team was trained beyond anything they had ever imagined, and soon even the up-beat Tala disappeared and the outside shell was all that remained, the one question remained. Should I have left with him?
Author's Note: Sorry there were quite a few time skips, but it helps show in comparison or so I hope to believe, plus I was kind of stuck on what else to write and I really wanted to put in the whole Kai-leaving thing in this chapter. So anyway hoped you like that and I will hopefully update tomorrow! Last chapter is typed up, just giving everyone a chance to read this chapter first! Please review!
