Chapter Twenty One
Everyone was as still as a statue. The two lifeless bodies by Tala and Keiji's side were the most haunting scene captured in everyone's heads. The guards of the mansion had even gone as far as to leave the room from watching the actions and were horrified to see a child be stabbed and another be shot by their boss. They wouldn't stay around to be punished for watching.
Tamaki sat defenceless. He had just witnessed his very own daughter trying to save two lives of people he had just injured. That and watching her use some sort of new found power to heal them. Oh how his greed and want for the spirit increased by watching it. He could just imagine the power he would have if he had Artemis in his grasp, with power to find every bit-spirit ever existed and use them to start his long planned war for world domination. He didn't need Boris, he lost the opportunity with Voltaire so now he had the chance to continue the plan alone. His eyes gleamed as he broke out of his numb thoughts and all he could focus on is getting to Juliette and claiming that spirit as his own.
"Oh my god, are they breathing? Juliette!" Ayane cried out as she held Demetri who was now probably sleeping in her lap.
Tala's hands shook as did most of his body as he looked down in horror at the body in his arms that refused to move. Keiji felt the same with Juan in his lap. His indigo eyes never looked so petrified.
"What... What have you done?" he whispered with a broken voice, unable to tear his eyes away from the two bodies as he aimed venomous thoughts at a certain redhead.
"She...I... I didn't know-"
"You idiot!" he snapped, frantically clutching Juan to him and checking for a pulse.
Everything was going as it was supposed to, even if none of them agreed with it. He watched with horror as the one person he held feelings for fade away only to save the life of another who he promised he would protect. Now he could have lost them both because of the one stupid act from Tala. He could understand the pain and torment he was going through by watching Juliette slowly erase herself from this world. If it was him in Tala's place then maybe he would have done the same thing. Right now his pulse was racing and head was spinning on whether to see if Juan was okay. He leaned down to listen for his breath as well as pressing two fingers to his wrist for a pulse. His eyes widened and he let out a loud breath, catching everyone's attention.
"He's breathing!" Keiji confirmed, checking his wound which was now a very small patch of darkened skin, obviously still not complete from Juliette's healing. But he was no longer in danger.
Ayane, Bryan and Tala all exhaled in relief.
"Oh thank god" Ayane was more than grateful. But that left her daughter.
Now Tala felt the pressure as he glanced down at the woman in his hands that he found no pulse of. His teeth grinded together roughly as he shut his eyes tight. The heaviness on his heart was so striking and painful he could hardly breathe, forget speaking. It seemed Ayane could read his expressions because her face fell and turned horrified.
"No... Tell me she's okay Tala, tell me your face isn't telling me what I think!" she pleaded, the water slowing dripping from her eyes.
Tala was forced around by Bryan who now knelt down beside him. His hand clutched around his collar of his uniform.
"Snap out of it! Talk to us" he demanded, shaking Tala a little as if to wake him up.
Instead of responding, Tala wiped his eyes, shrugging off Bryan's grip and searching for the beyblade in Juliette's hand. With high hopes on his heart he grabbed the bey and with a pounding pulse, he looked at the bit-chip. All emotions rocked off as his chest constricted and eyes widened. His icy blue eyes were faced with an empty clear chip. No form or sound of Artemis' voice to be heard.
That had just confirmed what he dreaded to believe. The bey fell out from his hands as it dropped limp. Coldness took over his body. The bey rolled away a metre away from him making a small rattle as it did whilst everyone watched.
Ayane froze, putting together the pieces of Tala's actions. Her eyes widened in realisation.
"IYAAAAAAA! (1)"
Upon hearing her cry, Keiji broke down, sobbing quietly with his eyes shut. Bryan turned his head away releasing a small sob but tried to keep it together though he was devastated. Tala had been the only one to remain still and silent. The only other person in the room who had been able to give a reaction was Tamaki, whose eyes feasted on the beyblade that was now so easy to reach. With everyone so occupied, he had the perfect opportunity to grab Artemis for himself once and for all. It didn't cross his mind that his own daughter was laying lifeless a few metres away, his only desire was for the spirit though he hadn't realised that she was no longer there.
Tala blinked and dared to look at Juliette's face as he cradled her on his lap. Her cheeks lost color and he begged and prayed that he could see the glint of her emerald eyes once again. To hear her speak. As the tears trickled down his cheeks silently, he stroked her cheek, running his thumb over her cold lips, tracing them over, recalling how he had his own covering over them not long ago. How warm and soft they were then and how it made him feel. What he didn't expect was for her to suddenly speak.
"Why...Why is everyone...crying?"
Everyone's eyes shot open to face the young doctor whose eyes slowly opened as she turned slowly in Tala's lap. As her emerald eyes met his, he felt his insides erupt with emotion.
"Tala... How..." she croaked with a weak voice as she blinked slowly.
He didn't allow her to speak anymore as he pulled her against his chest so tight he was afraid she might slip away again.
"How many more times are you gonna make me go through this Juliette?" he whispered whilst inhaling her scent.
Juliette blinked, looking to see Bryan over Tala's shoulder as he embraced her. The expression and the look she got from staring into his moonstones she realised that her actions affected them all badly. She could see the redness of his eyes and dampness on his cheeks. Even the great Bryan had cried over her. She smiled weakly at him to see him look more than relieved which quickly turned into a smirk.
"Good to have you back alive kid."
She smiled as Tala pulled back to stare at her with a worse expression. Her face fell to see his eyes filled with salty tears, his teeth grinding obviously keeping in his rage to tell her how stupid she was. She also saw the hurt and torment in his blue eyes which hit her heart. She could never make up for making him go through that and she was sure that if she had died, he would never be able to live with himself. Her eyes slowly turned to the side to see indigo eyes just as watery with relief and happiness printed on them.
"You gave us...quite a scare" he weakly added, trying to keep on a brave face but ended up shedding a few more tears.
Juliette smiled but then slowly began closing her eyes feeling very tired and sleepy. All she wanted to do was rest and her mind was all a haze.
"I'm...tired" her weak voice spoke as she stared into Tala's eyes. "How is...Juan?"
"Breathing but unconscious, he will be fine thanks to you" Keiji assured confidently.
"Good..." she trailed off, closing her eyes and relaxing into Tala's warm and protective arms.
Tala let out a small sigh. He never felt more relieved. Juliette was going to be okay. They were all going to be okay. The rose pink haired girl in his arms not only saved them all, but the entire world. She risked so much for them and she kept her promises and vows and nearly died. She saved the lives of two people knowing she wouldn't survive, had it not been for him. When he glanced over to Ayane to see her beaming and wiping her tears away they exchanged smiles. He wasn't too happy to see the breathing body on her lap but he supposed he could always torture the rat Demetri another time. He owed Juliette his life. Now all they had to do was get out of here.
Everyone seemed to be occupied and didn't notice Tamaki begin to make his move towards the open bey in the middle of the room. His eyes wide and open, fixated on the pale green beyblade that held all he wanted. Getting ready to spring to his feet he jumped up, catching everyone's attention.
"Artemis... is... MINE!" he roared as he charged forwards towards the beyblade, not caring about anything else.
"Stop him boys!" Ayane quickly cried out.
Just as Tamaki's hands touched the beyblade, holding it within his palm, Bryan had dived right at him, tackling the older and stocky man down with all his strength using his shoulder and elbow. Both men fell to the ground with a thud and the beyblade fell out of Tamaki's grasp, rolling away from them. Tamaki's eyes widened, feeling sweat overtake him as he tried to shove off the boy while frantically clawing his way back to the beyblade. Bryan threw his arms around the older man's neck, holding him in a tight headlock making Tamaki choke slightly. Both fought furiously and Tamaki was determined to break loose as he rolled, trying to break Bryan who held on. As he swiped a punch, it caught Bryan just under his eye which threw him a little off balance. Using his other hand he threw a few solid punches to Tamaki's side to weaken him.
Tala watched the horrendous battle and moved Juliette to Keiji's side gently before getting up to help his team mate. No... Bryan was more than that. To him he was like a brother. Caging together all his wrath and anger for the man who ruined everything, he charged towards the two men just as Tamaki got onto his knees with Bryan's arm clutched around his neck and the other grabbed his arm that was outstretched towards the bey. Quick thinking, Tala rushed for the bey, capturing it successfully as she moved back towards Ayane, handing her Artemis for safety. His eyes then locked down on Tamaki whose was looking more than fierce at him.
"NOOO! Artemis belongs to ME! ONLY ME!" he growled, taking steps forwards while Bryan still tried to hold him back but struggled.
"Wrong answer" Tala smirked before striding towards Tamaki whose face looked like he lost his sanity and lashed out his fist, striking fully across Tamaki's jaw with a loud crunch.
Tamaki doubled over to the side from impact, losing his balance as Bryan released him. A mouthful of blood seeped out with saliva from Tamaki's mouth as he spat it out. Eyes brooding as he turned to face Tala with a deathly glare, fit to kill.
"YOUUUU!" he snarled, leaping forth towards him only to be held back by Bryan once more by his arms.
"Don't even think about it" Bryan hissed in his ear through breaths. The hardcore training from Boris did pay off.
Tala grabbed a hold of one side as Bryan the other, holding him back so he wouldn't be able to move. With their strengths combined, no one could stop them or break free from their grasp. Tamaki refused to give up, frantically crying out for Artemis.
"SHE WILL BE MINE! ALL MINE!"
The doors burst open to reveal an army of SWAT guards in black uniforms with armed gears and M4A1's in their hands, aiming the red dots at Tamaki and searching round the room for more targets.
"Freeze!"
Ayane lifted a hand up.
"It's all right, the kids are with me. Take care of them first and seize that man" she pointed at the struggling and screaming man she once called her husband.
"Yes ma'am!"
Tala and Bryan let go as the guard's grabbed hold of Tamaki, pinning him down on his front as they cuffed him tight and yanked him up. He cursed loudly as he was dragged out the room. Tala watched with a triumphant smirk as the old man was dragged away. Their worries were gone. He froze when Tamaki's eyes fixated onto him.
"This isn't over. I'LL KILL YOU. ALL OF YOU! I'LL BE BACK!" he exclaimed to the top of his voice as the doors slammed shut on his face.
Tala couldn't help but feel a chill go down his spine as he exhaled. It was really over now. They were all safe to return. He glanced over to the sleeping body of the young doctor, smiling. He would finally get to be with her forever without anymore worries.
"Thanks for letting us know your husband was cuckoo" Bryan spoke aloud sardonically. He stretched and yawned.
Ayane sighed as the ambulance team took Demetri on the stretcher and she stood up.
"I had my suspicions; he's obsessed and drawn by greed for power. Especially for Artemis" she looked down at the bey in her hands. The image faded but it was there.
'Thank you for protecting my Juliette old friend.'
'My lady, I am glad to see you are well and have the chance to speak with you once again. Juliette has done the same for me and I would do anything to protect the both of you.'
'It's over now, you know that time is coming...don't you?'
Silence but she could hear Artemis sigh in sadness.
'Yes... I hope Juliette is up to it.'
"Sorry to break your 'happy place' moment, but want to explain to us how you managed to get these black suit power rangers?" Bryan gestured towards the SWAT guards.
"Well, I had to make my own arrangements. I had informed my sister that if I didn't return within 2 hours then she needs to call my ready defence team. I knew I would need to be prepared one day soon and I guess today was that day" she admitted profoundly.
"You always seem to surprise us Ayane-san" Keiji grinned, impressed.
Ayane lightly laughed. "I try my best. And please, call me Ayane."
"You are very much like Juliette."
Ayane shook her head and peered down at her daughter proudly. "My daughter is far more courageous than I. She is a hundred times the woman I am." She turned to face Tala with a smile. "You are very lucky Tala, please look after her."
Tala was taken aback a little before nodding as they all glanced down at the young doctor sleeping soundly as the ambulance team.
"Ma'am?"
Their attention was taken when one of the ambulance crew who was knelt beside Keiji and Juan had lifted a hand up. As they walked over with confused expressions they waited.
"Yes? What's going on?" Ayane asked, glancing to see them checking over Juan.
When she caught the concerned look on the man's face she immediately trembled.
"The boy is okay? Isn't he?" she asked.
The paediatric sighed.
"I'm afraid, he seems to be trapped in some sort of... coma."
Those last words had hit each of them hard. Keiji was the first to react.
"What do you mean coma?! He's fine! He just needs to rest and he will be fine!"
The man shook his head. "His eyes are diluted and his pulse is weak. We can do further tests to be sure on the helicopter. Has he taken any damage to the head or any severe part of his body recently?"
Keiji opened his mouth to speak but Ayane got there first.
"No... He hasn't," giving Keiji a small look of assurance.
"All right, let's get him on the chopper."
They watched as they carried the fragile boy out and they were left to talk alone.
"Why wouldn't you tell him?" Keiji finally asked.
"Because he will then see the healed bullet shot and question about it. We can't let the world know about Artemis or that a simple young doctor has the power to heal others. Can you imagine the burden and danger of that happening?" she vigorously looked away, terrified at the thought.
Keiji looked down. He felt like he half betrayed Cole. Juan may have been alive but for how long? Would he ever wake up?
All the students gathered outside the abbey on spotting a helicopter landing on the snowed lawn outside. The engine of the chopper died down slowly with the blades slowing down and the door opened to reveal the renowned captain Tala shortly followed by Bryan then Keiji and finally Ayane. As they proceeded forwards, Cole frantically ran up to them along with Astor, Kyle, Spencer and Ian.
"You guys are back alive? I guess I win the bet" Cole grinned on approaching the 4 figures.
No one laughed or smiled which immediately got at Cole. His face lost all amusement and humour as he scanned around them, catching the forlorn look on their faces. His stomach dropped and he suddenly felt cold.
"Where's Juliette? She is okay isn't she? You did get her back didn't you? And Juan?" he rushed the questions.
Bryan and Keiji both turned their heads away, unable to look at him. Cole felt his stomach tighten and looked at Tala who also looked down. That knotted him up more and he finally fell to Ayane. She looked more than upset and he suddenly felt sick.
"Juliette's fine... She's in the helicopter, sleeping" Tala finally informed.
Relief washed over Cole as the rest of the students on hearing this. Cole weakly smiled.
"That's good though isn't it? And Juan?"
When he got silence for a reply, he felt like he had just been kicked in the stomach, really hard. His eyes widened.
"No... Tell me he's okay. SPEAK UP! Someone has to tell me where my brother is!" He cried out, getting terrified.
He lunged at Keiji, grabbing his shirt.
"You promised me you would bring him back to me safe and sound! WHERE IS HE?" he bellowed down at Keiji's pathetic face.
"Calm down" Bryan added.
Keiji was shoved back hard.
"Calm down? Don't tell me to calm down damn it! Where is Juan?!" Cole was beginning to lose it.
"He's in a coma."
Out of the 4, Ayane was the one to admit the truth and struck Cole with another hard blow. He froze and fixed his gaze on Ayane.
"What?"
She sympathised and turned stiff. "I'm sorry... He fell into a coma after Juliette healed him when he was... shot."
Cole choked. "When he was WHAT?!"
"That's not the point now. The story is long. During the healing process, Juliette only managed to heal him enough to keep him alive and out of danger. When she was stopped by Tala, it someone pulled him into deep coma and the doctors said it could take weeks, months, years even for him to get out of it... maybe not ever" Keiji winced, trailing off as his voice broke at the last word.
Cole stepped back, shaking slightly. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. The young boy who was so dear to him, so afraid of the world endured so much in so less time, only to escape from it and fall into a coma. One he may never break out of. Suddenly he felt anger more than hurt.
"I trusted you all to protect my little brother, hell I even trusted Juliette and while you're all here breathing and awake and the other sleeping peacefully, my brother is suffering still and it's all your faults!" he accused with a fierce tone.
Astounded by his sudden anger, Tala felt a spark.
"You don't know how ungrateful you sound right now. Because of Juliette, your dear brother is alive instead of dead. She was willing to give up her life to save him and it was my fault for pulling her away while she was helping him. If there's anyone to be angry at then it's me" he strongly pushed forwards, not fearing Cole's wrath.
Cole's glare darkened. "Yeah, of course it would be YOUR fault. Everything always is" he snarled at the red head.
Tala's icy hues darkened and narrowed, head to head with Cole's amber orbs. Tala was about to give him a piece of his mind when he stopped. He saw Cole's eyes filled with tears and shaking. He was not in a state to be thinking straight now. He understood what he was going through. They stood in silence and then saw Juliette, Juan and Demetri being carried out.
"I knew you would want him here so I arranged for him to be kept here with supervision" Ayane explained.
Cole's eyes darkened to see Demetri.
"Why is he here?" he snarled.
"Until he wakes up we need to keep him here so we can give him his options" Ayane dictated as she watched them being taken indoors.
"When he does, he will wish he was dead" Tala cracked his knuckles.
*Juliette P.O.V*
When I woke up, the first thing I felt was light headed a little as the room looked fuzzy. I was consumed in warmth and realised I was in the familiar room. Tala's room.
What happened? I was alive? How did I get here? Where was everyone? Where was Artemis? I frantically searched around my pockets and bed only to find nothing. Then I saw the pale green beyblade on the bedside table and I relaxed. I cupped her in my hands.
'How are you my dear?'
'I'm all right, how about you?'
'As well as you are.'
'What happened?'
'All your answers are waiting outside. Juliette, we will need to speak later, is that all right?'
She sounded concerned and I was suddenly scared. 'Yes, all right.'
I crawled out of bed, feeling less energy than usual though I was sure I was asleep for a while. When I got out I saw Tala walking up and I felt an immediate rush of emotions. Sadness as well as happiness. I was so sure I'd never see him again but here we were... His bluer than blue eyes gleamed, no longer barricaded by ice. His pale skin radiant and his expression soft. My heart pounded furiously against my ribcage and I caught my breath. I rushed forwards, leaping into his arms and flinging my arms around his neck while embracing him and inhaling his winter scent. His arms returned the embrace, holding me so tight that I thought I would explode.
"Don't ever leave my side again...please" he pleaded softly into my ear, his voice sounded so pained that it hurt to listen.
I nodded and felt a sob break out. "Never again."
He pulled back, smiling genuinely, I loved that smile. I cupped his face, blushing hard as I gathered the courage to bring my face to his, eyes closed. I could feel his breath brushing off my lips as I closed the gap. His arms snaked round my waist and pressed me tight against his body and I melted in the kiss. When his teeth caught my bottom lip I gasped slightly but for Tala, this opportunity allowed him to deepen the kiss beyond the point I never would have thought existed. No one could take me away from Tala again. Nobody.
The explanation of what happened was so horrific that at times I refused to listen. I was shocked to hear that Tala stopped the process of channelling and if he hadn't I probably would have been dead. When I heard about Juan I immediately asked to see him. My heart broke to hear of what happened to him and I rushed to go see him. When I had reached the infirmary, I saw the nurse there, keeping a check on Juan's health and Cole was sat by the bed where Juan now lay, wires taped to him and unconscious. When I stepped into the room I saw Cole look up and gasped to see his eyes deprived of sleep and red from crying perhaps. I couldn't bear to see him in this state and the first thing I did was apologise.
"Forgive me Cole..."
Cole shot up and walked over and hugged me tight.
"It wasn't your fault Sakurai-san, you saved Juan to the best you could and if it weren't for you then he would be dead" he assured as he pulled back and smiled weakly.
I looked dejected. I may have kept him alive but he was still in this state. It was my entire fault. He noticed this and patted my arm.
"Please don't worry Sakurai-san, Juan will wake up and he will be okay."
Would he? I walked by the bed and stroked his soft caramel hair, smiling weakly. I planted a small kiss on his forehead.
"Get well soon Juan" I whispered.
I turned around. "Cole... It is my fault that everything that had happened, happened. I am very sorry, I hope you can forgive me and Tala for putting Juan in this condit-"
"Stop right there" he held a finger up to his lips. "You freed us all at the abbey, from a fate worse than death. You saved Juan from death and risked your own life. That's more than we asked for. We can't be more thankful" he smiled and I could see it was genuine.
I felt warm and nodded. "Everything will be okay now."
When I left the infirmary I froze to come face to face with sea blue eyes and I felt myself almost collapse. This was the guy who had tortured me and betrayed us all. He had committed so much and almost died at the hands of my father. I had chosen to save him because I never could have lived with myself if I let him die. He may have committed bad deeds but he didn't deserve to die that way. His face looked dejected and softened. A whole new expression I never would have expected.
"Hey..."
That was another shock. He sounded sincere and his eyes were almost shadowed away from my gaze. I didn't know whether to be shocked or be afraid.
"I heard what you did for me. I... I know sorry won't cut what I've done to you and everyone else. Believe me. I want to thank you...Juliette...for saving me. I didn't really deserve it and when I woke up, I guess I was more than shocked to hear you risked your life to save me and Juan. I'm still sorry for everything I did. I hope with time you forgive me?" He sounded hopeful.
I was flabbergasted. This was a side of Demetri I never would have guessed he had. I was too shocked for words. I opened my mouth.
"I...I..."
I then remembered that dark moment and realised, I probably won't forgive him anytime soon.
"I'm sorry... I accept your apology Demetri but I cannot move on and accept all the things you have done and something like that cannot be so easily forgotten. Perhaps in time..." I trailed off.
He smiled, one that wasn't wicked or evil.
"I get it. I'll keep my distance."
"You better. Else I'll be the one to end your life" a bitter voice came from behind.
I glanced round to see Tala come out from the shadows and stood by my side. Demetri stepped back looking a little more than afraid this time. He even swallowed.
"I shall leave you guys to it."
With that Demetri left.
"He isn't getting off lightly. Your mother has a community service prepared for him so he will be serving his time."
I glanced up at Tala. "I knew deep down, he wasn't bad. He was just mislead by power and needed a boost to break him out of his power hungry stage."
Tala scoffed. "You're too soft. Let's go."
We came across the rest of the students and my mother. I stopped and analysed her expression. She was smiling warmly towards me and a look of admiration. My mother was really here for me after so many years and this time she was here to stay. I could really live my life knowing she was there for me. Now that father was gone, whether he would be back or not didn't frighten me yet, it would hit me later. I saw Keiji who gave me a open hug.
"So glad to see your okay, you worried us" he grinned.
I weakly smiled and apologised. "I'm sorry, I know I put you on the spot when I made my decision and it was wrong of me to do that but I want to thank you for understanding me."
He nodded and sighed. Next was Bryan who smirked.
"Well...you're not dead kid."
I laughed lightly. I chose to hug him too and probably surprised him at the same time.
"Thank you Bryan, I missed you too."
He returned the hug and moved back. The same went on with the rest of the students till I fell back to Tala. I glanced up at him and smiled.
"It's really over."
When I first joined Balkov Abbey, I never expected to make such good friends. I never expected to save a bunch of people from an evil dictator. I saved myself and gained confidence to fight against the man who was ruling my life. I gained back my mother and broke my phobia and found love in someone I least expected to fall for. I even had saved the world.
I stood outside, watching the snow fall lightly as I held Artemis in my hands.
"I know what you want to say Artemis" I began, looking up at the sky.
'As much as I wanted to stay with you Juliette, I have completed my deed. As have you. I must return back to my world.'
I winced. Feeling the tears bloat up. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing especially to a friend I had grown up with and who had done so much for me and my mother. It hit me hard on how much losing her would feel but I was setting her free. I went to the point of risking her to lose her life because of one decision. I had no right. I couldn't ask to risk our lives again to heal Juan. She promised me he would be okay and to have faith. So I did.
'Thank you for everything. You have been there through every stage of my life so far and helped me to save others as well as myself. I am nothing without you Artemis, I will miss you dearly' I began breaking down, holding the beyblade close to my face.
'Oh my dear Juliette, I will always be thankful that you took such good care of me, I couldn't have asked for a better friend. Remember, I may not be with you physically or mentally but I am always there in your heart. I will always be listening.'
I cried harder, trembling. I nodded as I straightened out myself.
"I guess it is time to say goodbye. I hope we do meet again my friend" I whispered as a tear dropped down onto the blade.
'We shall meet again for sure my dear Juliette. Until then, take care of yourself.'
My chest heaved as I sobbed. I felt a bright light escape my beyblade and my eyes opened and I gasped to see the beauty of Artemis one last time. She smiled down at me, engulfing me in an embrace as she softly kissed my forehead. Then she shot up to the sky and disappeared.
"You all right?" a voice from behind me asked.
Tala joined my side.
I nodded. "I will be."
He laughed lightly catching my attention.
"What?"
He shook his head. "She just told me to take care of you" he smiled.
I smiled back and slid under his arm as we looked up at the sky together. Enduring the cold icy winds as one.
