The rebels
Chapter 5
Kai sat on a uncomfortable chair. It was too hard. Kai started at the floor. It was grey and smooth. There were different coloured lines. A red one, a blue and a green. He already knew where they went because an hour ago he read and then reread the hospital booklet. Magazines lay scattered their contents also read and then reread. Kai, Max, Tyson and Tyson's grandpa had been waiting outside Ray's hospital room for over five hours without a single word. The others had quizzed Kai about what happened constantly. But Kai hadn't said much about it. The doctor finally came out. He didn't look happy.
"What's happening?", asked Tyson.
"Is Ray ok?", asked Max.
"I am afraid I have some bad news", said the doctor not looking anybody in the eyes. Tyson just lost it and collapsed on the floor crying. Max looked at his fallen friend and sat down next to him tears already streaming down his face.
"How bad?", Max asked through sobs.
"We don't know but he is not waking up and we don't think he will in the foreseeable future", said the doctor. "I have never seen anything like it his body is fully active. His mind we are not sure about. We can only assume he is in a coma like state because he is not responding to any tests. He shall be going for some more tests soon. You can go see him if you like".
The group walked in to the room. The sun shone down on Ray lying in the hospital bed. He looked so pale. He was ghostly white. The group covered their eyes when the entered the room, they had not realised that dawn had come. Tyson, Max and Tyson's grandpa went up to Ray. Kai hung back in the doorway. Tyson knelt down beside Ray.
" I… I…. am so sorry Ray. So sorry", said Tyson tears free falling down his face. Max put his hand on Tyson's shoulder.
"I just, I just, I wished I was there to stop it. We knew somebody was following us and we did nothing. We should have known, I should have known", said Tyson.
"No Tyson", Kai said quietly so quietly that nobody could hear him. "I should have known better". Kai stood there. He looked at his friends. 'Who would be next' he thought. Maybe Max, Tyson or himself'. Kai wasn't sure if he take losing all of his friends and dranzer. The group stayed in their positions for ages. Kai only moving when somebody wanted to come in. Mr. Dickerson came in said a few words to Ray and left. Each of the group spoke to Ray. They told him how much they wanted him back. How much they missed him. They were all in tears except for Kai. Kai had not spoken or cried. It was starting to annoy Tyson.
"Hey Kai", said Tyson. Everybody in the room tensed.
"What?", asked Kai.
"I was just wondering did you voice unlike your heart work", said Tyson angrily.
"Whatever", sighed Kai and he turned around and left the room.
"Why you", screamed Tyson and he got up ready to chase Kai.
Don't", said Max. "We all deal with pain a certain way. Let him do this his own way", said Max wisely.
"Don't talk to me like you are smarter than me", said Tyson angrily. Tyson was gripping his pants so tightly his knuckles were turning white.
"Hey little man, Max dude is just trying to lay it down straight for ya. Don't lose it dude", said Tyson's grandpa.
Kai walked down the corridor. His heart felt like it had stopped. 'Why couldn't I cry' asked Kai to himself. Back in the room all he felt was numb. Tyson was right his heart had stopped working a long time ago. But he still couldn't remember when. In all his recent flashbacks he was so happy so content. Kai left the hospital. His feet just kept going. He couldn't stop if he wanted to. Which he didn't. He began to run. Yet the tears still didn't come. He ran and ran. He knew if he slowed down he would stop and if he sopped he would go back to that room. He just couldn't face Ray. He couldn't. Kai looked up. He didn't know where he was. It was a bad neighbourhood he knew that. He could look after himself, he thought. He ran and kept running. He walked into an alleyway and finally collapsed 'Why do I always do stupid things like this thought Kai as he sat down to take a break.
………………………………...
Back at the hospital Tyson was hitting himself hard. He only stopped hitting himself long enough to shout at himself.
"I am so stupid, why did I open my mouth. I should have known he would leave. He is now out there alone and there is somebody after us, after him. Dam it dam it", yelled Tyson.
"Don't worry Tyson, Kai can look after himself", said Max. 'I hope'.
………………………………...
Alla closed the door to her apartment. She sighed loudly. She switched on the light in the hall. She wasn't alone and she knew it.
"What do you want?", she asked.
"Just to congratulate you on your victory", said Mr. Becket emerging from the living room..
"My only one", said Alla " I don't want to do this anymore. It made me sick".
"You don't have a choice anymore. If you don't I shall be forced to get somebody not as capable as you", said Mr. Becket.
"What do you mean?", asked Alla.
"Remember what happened to test subject 3. The soul and bitbeast removal can be very tricky as you know", said Mr. Becket smiling.
"What are you trying to say?", asked Alla.
"I wouldn't want somebody as pretty as Kai to get hurt more than was necessary. Look at Ray. He is now so peaceful and relaxed. Also if you were no longer working for me. I would have to tell Kai why his friend was sacrificed for no good reason. Also who was responsible", said Mr Becket smiling. "Yeah I would have to tell the police that as well.
" I am trapped", said Alla.
"Honey you were trapped from the start", said Mr Becket smiling. "Don't worry you shall be stronger when Kai is gone. I would act quickly if I was you, get the rest of their souls and bitbeasts now while they are weak".
"Yes sir", said Alla.
………………………………...
Kai reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He got up and went to the entrance of the alleyway. He saw the street name. He rang his own house. His butler answered on the third ring. Kai told him where he was and that he wanted to be collected. Kai sat back down and buried his face in his hands. Slowly his eyes started to close. 'NO' he told himself he tried to open his eyes but he could already see the snow of Russia. 'NO, NO NO, Kai damit don't stay awake, stay awake'. Kai told himself but it was already to late. Kai's eyes closed and his body went relaxed and fell to the floor..
(Kai's flashbacks)
Kai rubbed his eyes. He was tired. All the rebels were even Bradain thou he wouldn't admit it. They had just come back from the mountain hike. They were sore and tired. The only greeting they got was Boris. He was happy to see them. But the feeling wasn't mutual. Well except for Bradain but he was always happy to see Boris. He told them they had passed and they all got into the bus that was waiting for them. Sean was sleeping beside Kai. His snoring was keeping Kai awake. Kai had hit him several times but he wouldn't wake up. Alla was also fast asleep. So when they approached the abbey Kai and Bradain were the only ones who saw it. Kai was looking out the window. The black sky seemed to go on forever. Kai could see the abbey in the distance. Suddenly Kai saw the sky get darker. 'How was that possible', he thought. He looked harder suddenly he saw a black bird soaring though the sky. Kai turned around and saw Bradain looking at it as well.
"What is it?", asked Kai.
"That is black dranzer. She is being tested out", said Bradain.
"Really what is black dranzer, and why is she being tested out?", asked Kai confused.
"Black dranzer is a bitbeast", said Bradain. "But you don't know what a bitbeast is do you?". Kai shook his head. "Ok, a bitbeast is like a spirit that helps you out when you are beyblading.".
"Like a team mate", asked Kai.
"Kind of but more important", said Bradain.
"Do you have one?", asked Kai.
"Yeah, I have two", said Bradain proudly.
"Really why?", asked Kai.
"Because I am perfect Biovolt soldier", said Bradain.
"Of course you are", said Kai.
"Look", said Bradain and he showed Kai his beyblade. "this is Anubis". Kai saw on Bradain's bit chip there was a picture of a big dog. The dog was shaped like a human yet it was a dog.
"That's really wired", said Kai. Bradain hit him over the head.
"Show some respect would you", said Bradain. "that's my other one up there". Bradain pointed upwards towards black dranzer.
"Black dranzer?", asked Kai.
"Yeah", said Bradain.
"Do you think I will get one?", asked Kai.
"Yes".
"Really, how do you know?", asked Kai taking out his blade and looking at his blank chip.
"I know cause when you are in trouble in a match your blade starts to glow so does the others. Yours starts to catch on fire. So you will have a fire type bitbeast. Just think about it there is a special spirit that is always watching over you", said Bradain smiling in a way Kai never thought he would.
"Wow", said Kai looking at his blade. "Bradain".
"What?", asked Bradain.
"Do you want to be captain?", asked Kai.
"What?", asked Bradain his eyes widening. "Seriously?".
"Yeah as long as important things are voted on", said Kai.
"Can I change the team name?", asked Bradain.
"No", said Kai flatly.
"Very well", said Bradain smiling "I shall be fair don't worry", said Bradain as he ruffled Kai's hair. Kai smiled. He liked when the team got on well together.
The others were surprised the next day to learn that Kai had given his captaincy to Bradain. Kai just smiled and said "he has more experience then all of us put together he was the obvious choice. Don't worry if he doesn't do it well I shall take it back".
It was in the morning when the two teams that had passed the tests were taken out of training. They were taken to their new rooms. Each team got three rooms so two had to share. Brain and Ian had to share as did Kai and Sean. They didn't mind, sharing with one person was better than sharing with over two hundred. Boris let the boys and girl explore their new rooms. Kai and Sean had a bunk bed in their room. Alla's was the room smallest. Kai and Sean ran into their room. Kai griped the metal railing and jumped up on the top of the bunk bed.
"Wow, can I have up here?", asked Kai.
"Sure, I like it down here", said Sean as he sat on his bed. Their room was a descent size. It was painted blue and the bed frame was made out of silver metal. They had a few empty book shelves, a desk, a wardrobe and in the middle was a beyblade dish.
"This is so much fun", said Sean as he explored the room. After a while Kai and Sean went outside their room to see how the others were getting on. Alla's room was opposite theirs with Bradain's just down the hall beside the bathroom. The demolition boys were downstairs. Kai looked down to see Tala staring up at them.
"Hey Boris wants to see us all in the gym now", said Tala. The rebels walked down the stairs. As Kai passed Tala he grabbed Kai's arm. Tala waited until everybody had passed.
"I wish you luck in the tournament", said Tala.
"Thanks, good luck to you too", said Kai smiling.
"But I wanted you to know if we face each other", said Tala but he was interrupted by Kai.
"We show no mercy right", said Kai.
"Right I want our match to be real and equal", said Tala smiling.
"Me too. See you in the final then", said Kai as he turned around and ran after his team.
Kai entered the gym and sat down between Sean and Alla who had saved him a seat.
"I would like to congratulate you all on passing your tests. I know you will all do Biovolt proud", said Boris proudly. Bradain was on the verge of clapping and cheering. "I hope your new rooms are to your liking but this is just a taste of the rewards that you will get if you succeed. I am also giving each of you some money to go into town today and buying some new beyblade parts and some new clothes". Suddenly the room burst into noise. New clothes nobody could believe it. Everybody in the abbey wore the same brown and black clothes with Biovolt written on it. Kai was the only one who wore anything different and he just wore a white scarf over his blazer.
"Silence!, I would remind you that I shall send your clothes back if they are not proper, Tala I am looking at you" said Boris. Tala's pale face turned a little red. "Ok then". Suddenly Kai's vision stared to blur. The gym started to go in and out of focus. It was like the scene was a tape and it had just got caught. Boris kept saying "ok then , ok then, ok then", over and over again. He felt somebody grab his chin and drag him up until he was standing. Kai tried to open his eyes or move but he just couldn't. He was still trapped in his memory. The hand moved down to his neck and the other hand was at his chest holding him upright. Then he heard a roar that sounded strangely like Tyson. Then it all went black.
"Ok then I shall let you out now. This can also be considered a test. This shall test how responsible you are", said Boris. An envelope was handed to each of the members of the rebels and the demolition boys.
"Lets go", yelled Sean the second he was let out of the abbey. He was holding all the money that was in his envelope in his right hand.
"Hey Sean, you are going to get robbed if you hold your money like that", said Alla.
"How should I hold it?", asked Sean. Turning the money around in his hands, trying to hold it a different way.
"You are supposed to keep it out of view. Have you ever had money before?", asked Alla laughing. Sean bowed his head and started to mumble.
"Seriously, you haven't", said Alla shocked.
"Well there is a first time for everything. It shall be an experience to remember", said Kai.
Kai, Alla and Sean walked together down the street. Bradain trailed after them. They stopped at almost every shop, much to the annoyance of Bradain. Kai was the first to buy something. They were walking in silence and suddenly Kai yelled and pointed.
"I want those", yelled Kai. Everybody looked to see where he was pointing. He was pointing to a shop window. Kai hurried inside and came out a few minutes later holding a bag.
"What did you get, what did you get?", asked Sean excitedly.
"These", said Kai proudly holding up red arm guards.
"Wow", said Sean.
"Cool", said Alla.
"They don't match your hair", said Bradain.
"O", said Kai holding the arm guards up to his hair.
The group continued walking until they found the big clothes shop. It was one of the most famous in Moscow. Its advertising could be seen everywhere. Also they were fairly reasonably priced. The rebels entered the store and began to try things on. The only spent half an hour in the clothes shop because they all wanted to get to the beyblading shop. Kai picked out blue trousers and a black top. (Season 1 clothes). Sean picked out a big thick navy jumper and the same blue trousers as Kai. Alla wore navy trousers and a blue top with sleeves that reached her elbows. Bradain bought a brown top and a black trousers. They were very similar to the Biovolt uniform but nobody said anything about it. Bradain would be Bradain after all.
The rebels went to the beyblading shop and bought tones of supplies and new shooters. The guy in the shop was talking to Bradain about the other teams that had come in the beyblading shop. Bradain was very light and breezy. The guy had no idea that he was giving away valuable information. The rebels were walking back when they realised that none of them had bought coats. They ran into a shop. They all decided they would get matching coats. After much discussion they decide on black and red coats.
"Do you want anything written on the back of them?", asked the shop keeper.
"Biovolt bladers", said Bradain.
"No!", coursed Kai, Alla and Sean. "The rebels".
"Whatever", said Bradain crossly.
………………………………...
Tyson was pacing up and down Ray's hospital room. He was panicking out of his mind.
"Did you try his mobile?", asked Max.
"No, he didn't give me his number", said Tyson.
"Me neither", said Max.
"I tried his house but his butler hasn't heard anything", said Tyson. Suddenly his phone rang. "Hello", said Tyson picking it up on the first ring. He talked for a while then he hung up.
"That was Kai's butler", Tyson informed the rest of the room. "Kai rang him and asked him to pick him up. He is coming here first and picking me up. He said Kai sounded like he was in trouble". Tyson sat down and sighed. "I hope we make it on time". He got up suddenly and ran to the door. On second thought he turned around.
"Hey Max", said Tyson.
"Yeah", said Max.
"Do you mind staying here and keeping an eye on Ray?", asked Tyson.
"Of course not", said Max.
"Ok take care", said Tyson as he ran out of the room. Tyson sped through the hospital. He hopped into the limo as it approached the hospital entrance. Alla who was sitting up in a tree got up and stretched. 'They made this way too easy', she thought.
Tyson stared out the window. Kai had really ran far. He had been upset and Tyson as usually had poured oil on the fire. The limo finally slowed down. Tyson got out and began looking around everywhere. Kai's butler came out as well.
"Master Kai said he was resting in an alleyway", said the butler. Tyson began running down the street searching in every alleyway. It was in the last one he check that he found Kai. The scene he saw made his blood boil. A dirty old beggar had Kai by the neck. He was pinning him to the wall. His other dirty hand was caressing Kai's chest. He was looking at Kai with lust filled eyes and he was staring to move his face closer to Kai's. Kai was total out of it. His face was abnormally pale even for him. Tyson screamed and loaded his beyblade. The man jumped with shock.
"Get your dirty hands of him", yelled Tyson. The man put up his hands allowing Kai to fall hard on the ground.
"I was only trying to help dude", said the man.
"Get out of my sight before I call the police", said Tyson. The man turned around and left. Tyson ran to Kai and checked his pulse. Kai's butler ran to Tyson's side. He was total out of breath. He also checked Kai's pulse and opened his eyes to check his pupils.
"He is fine", said the butler at last.
"Thank god", said Tyson.
"He is just having one a flashbacks of his repressed memorieies", said the butler.
"What?", asked Tyson.
"I shall tell you in the car", said the butler as he lifted Kai up and brought him to the car.
