The rebels
Chapter 10
The sun streamed through the windows yet the lobby of this building was cool. The lobby took up three entire floors. The ceiling was very high. Over the door were five tall, narrow pains of glass. That was not the only source of light. On the ceiling were rows and rows of electronic lights. They were all on full power in order to reach all the way down to the floor. The other two walls of the lobby were made of ceiling to floor metal plates. There were hundreds of them. They were all grey and about one meter in length, guessed Kai. Kai knew he was just going over irrelevant information in his mind. It was just his way of dealing with stress. Everybody in the abbey had his or her own way. Tala would stare at things, Brain would clench and unclench his toes and Spencer would concentrate on opening and closing his eyes.
Kai looked down at the floor and noticed it was grey-black and smooth. They were also made of different blocks with white lines joining them together. The receptionist, who sat behind a desk that was way to long, was a man with grey-black hair. He had a cheery smile on his face. He was wearing a navy suit and a red and white tie. At the end of the lobby was the elevator. But before that were a metal director and a door with a code lock.
The receptionist looked up from his work when he saw two young men walking down the lobby. They were both dressed in casual clothes and both were wearing hats.
"How may I help you?" asked the receptionist. One of the men jumped and turned to the other who stayed calm.
"A delivery from Hiyco," said Kai calmly. The receptionist recognized the company name the boy gave. Hiyco was one of Slaviers main partners.
"Yes sir we have been expecting you. May I see your cards?" asked the receptionist.
"Sure," said Kai, he, and Tyson held up their cards.
"Good," said the receptionist "go on through those doors," Kai and Tyson continued on their way. They reached the code locked door. Kai typed in the number and the door popped open. They both went in. Kai place the package that he was carrying on the table. Then he walked through the metal director. Tyson walked in after him. Neither of them set it off. The guard handed the package over. The contents of the page age were not x-rayed. Company policy. Mr Becket didn't want any old guard seeing what was in his packages.
The receptionist looked up s the two men walked into the elevator. Something was not right about them. They looked very young and very familiar. The receptionist ignored the feeling and went back to work.
The elevator moved smoothly upwards.
"That was too easy," said Tyson smiling.
"That was the easy bit," said Kai.
"We are so lucky your company has shares in this one," said Tyson smiling. Kai frowned.
"I make it a point not to invest in borderline illegal enterprises," said Kai.
"The how…?" asked Tyson.
"The Hiwatari Company has shares in Hiyco, and the director was a personal friend of my mothers," said Kai. "It is because of him that we were able to get this far". Tyson swallowed loudly. Kai never talked about his parents. Tyson didn't even know if they were still alive. This was he first time he had even acknowledge that he had patents. The door of the elevator stopped.
"Welcome to floor 7," said an electronic voice.
"Are you sure this is the right floor?" asked Tyson.
"Yeah I read the blueprints James Hiyco gave me. It should be on this floor," said Kai.
"What if its not?" asked Tyson as he exited the lift. He walked after Kai who looked like he knew where he was going. But he never answered Tyson's question. Kai normally didn't answer Tyson but this time it made him very uneasy.
Kai stopped suddenly. Tyson skidded to a stop behind him.
"What! Why did you…?" asked Tyson.
"There is a keypad here," said Kai.
"So," said Tyson. "You have all the code memorized right, right,"
"In the blue prints there is no keypad here," said Kai. He looked down the corridor.
"What's wrong?" asked Tyson.
"I don't know what this key pad is for," said Kai. Kai stared at the floor ahead of him. The keypad was almost invisible. Suddenly he noticed a gap in the tiles.
"There is one way to find out if it does anything," said Tyson. He took at step forward. Kai grabbed his jersey and threw him backwards.
"What was that for?" asked Tyson to surprised to be angry. Kai crouched low to the ground and titled his head.
"Like I suspected, the floor will give way when you step on it," said Kai. Tyson paled.
"Really," said Tyson. "Give way to what?"
"I don't know," said Kai angrily. He looked at the keypad. He typed in the code for the rest of the keypads on this floor. The keypad flashed WRONG. Kai frowned.
"Try Mr Beckets birthday," said Tyson.
"It's worth a try," said Kai and he typed it in.
WRONG.
"O," said Tyson. "What do you use as your password?" asked Tyson.
"What do you use?" asked Kai.
"My birthday," said Tyson. Kai smiled and stored that information in his mind. "But we have already tried that so what do you used," Kai sighed.
"The name of town I was born," said Kai.
"Moscow, right try that," said Tyson.
"First I wasn't born I Moscow and you mean the town Mr Becket was born right?" asked Kai.
"Emm yeah that will make more sense," said Tyson smiling. Kai sighed. Kai held his figures over the keypad. This was the last short. The third time they typed in the code wrong the alarm would sound. Kai closed his eyes.
"Seriously you weren't born in Moscow, but Boris said…," said Tyson. Kai turned around and glared at Tyson.
"Boris lies," said Kai. "Now shut up,"
"Yes captain," said Tyson. Kai frowned they were even on the same team anymore yet he still thought of him as his captain. Kai typed in Sydney were Mr Becket was born. The keypad glowed green. Kai looked as a new floor slid out covering the one with the hinges.
Kai and Tyson ran down the corridor. The floor held to their relief. The reached the end of the corridor and turned the corner. The sight that meant their eyes made both of them stopped dead in their tracks.
"What the hell…" said Tyson.
"O," was all Kai could say.
The wall in front of them was made up of glass so the things inside could be observed without going inside. Inside were four large glass tubes. Two of them were empty for now. The other two were filled. Inside one was drigger and inside the other was draciel. But they weren't alone. Floating next to their bit beasts were Max and Ray. They were a lot paler then normal and slightly see through. But it was them. Their eyes were closed but their faced weren't blank like the bodies back at the safe house. These were contorted in pain and agony. Tyson turned away from Kai and got sick. Kai slid to the ground.
"How.. How.. How could they do this?" asked Tyson joining Kai on the floor.
"I don't know," said Kai softly. Kai saw Tyson falling forward. He tried to move his arms to catch him but his arms were like lead and he couldn't move them. Tyson fell flat on his face. 'He has fainted' thought Kai slowly. He tried to get up but couldn't suddenly he felt himself falling forward. He could move his arms to protect himself. 'Weakling' though Kai.
(Kai's flashback)
"3...2...1...let it rip and round two of this match is underway," yelled the announcer. "Between Sean and Jake. Sean is totally undefeated. He has won all his three matches so far and he won all the matches he played in the Russian tournament. His opponent Jake has…. O and its all over", yelled the announcer. "It looks like Sean's winning streak wont be broken today. Now round three will feature the still undefeated Kai from the rebels. His opponent the cute Luke, who is also undefeated din this tournament. The rebels have already won 2-0 but will Luke be able to make it 2-1".
Both the teams were waiting for the announcer to shut up.
"Go go show him what the rebels are capable of," yelled Sean. Bradain gave him a warning look.
"I hope you play well Kaiy," said Luke.
"My name is Kai," said Kai.
"My name is Luke, but you can call me Lulu," said Luke. "So can I call you Kaiy?"
"No," said Kai calmly.
"Awwwww, Meany, Meany, fine now you can't call me Lulu", said Luke.
"Fine, can we just start the match," said Kai.
"Only joking," said Luke. "You can call me Lulu," Kai clenched then unclenched his fingers.
"Can we start the match already," said Kai.
"Say pleasly, pleasly, plea sly," said Luke.
"If you don't start now you will have to forfeit," yelled Kai.
"Fine meany," said Luke pouting.
"Kai calm down," said Bradain. Bradain sighed Kai still had a lot of mental training to do.
Luke loaded his blade. Kai did the same. Luke's launcher was a brown teddy bear. Kai opened his mouth in shock.
"3...2...1...let it rip," yelled the announcer. The two blades entered in arena and flew at each other.
"Lupana show this meany," yelled Luke. Kai's eyes opened in amazement. This kid had a bit beast. Light came out of Luke blade. It began to spin faster and faster. Suddenly the bit beast Lupana appeared. Kai stared at it. It was a bunny rabbit. A white fluffy bunny rabbit with pink and blue ribbons tied around is ears and a bell on a string around his neck. The rest of the rebel team stared.
"Is that a bit beast?" asked Sean.
"Emm yeah a wired one but yeah it is one," said Bradain.
"Don't you think Lupana is so cute? I think so. I think so. My daddy waddy gave him to me on my birthday. I also had the best cake ever it was so the best cake ever. It had strawberries I like strawberries. So does Lupana…" Luke continued talking but Kai just ignored him. Kai though that maybe this was supposed to distract him. But maybe this was just one childish child. 'If I wasn't in the abbey would I have turned out like this' thought Kai. He looked at Luke who was now jumping up and down taking about his "doggy". Kai smiled. He doubted it.
"Blade fire storm," yelled Kai. Kai's blade began circling Luke's. The fire from the blade grew and grew. "Take him out," yelled Kai. Luke's blade fell at his feet.
"The rebels move on to the semi finals," yelled the announcer.
(End of flashback)
Kai woke up. He was lying on the floor. He kept his eyes closed and listened for sighs of danger. He thought about his flashback. It was probably the strangest one yet. He heard Tyson move beside him. Kai opened his eyes and took in a deep breath. They were no longer in the corridor. Tyson opened his eyes as well.
"Huh, what's a beyblade dish doing here," asked Tyson. He looked at Kai who was looking straight ahead. Tyson followed his gazed. On the other side of beydish was a man. He stepped out of the shadows and faced the two. The man behind the beydish was tall and large with protruding muscles. He had black grey hair that stuck out. He had green eyes that glinted constantly. He also had a thin scar that started on his lip and went up to his right eye. It was covered with make up but you could still see it. His right eye looked a bit droopy as well.
"Well who will be first?" he asked as he loaded his blade.
A/n: There is chapter 10 done. So please review. Sadly I am going away (Sigh), to a French camp (bigger sigh), all alone (biggest sigh). But don't worry I will not be gone for long and I will continue writing this story. :D :D :D
