Chapter 4
Megan woke up the next morning and got dressed, heading to the office.
"Morning Jenny!" Megan smiles, walking in.
"Morning Ms Masefield." Jenny smiles back. "A Mr Hiwatari is waiting for you in your office." Jenny says wiggling her eyebrows.
"Thanks Jenny!" Megan says sarcastically. Megan walks in the elevator and up to the 10th floor. She walks out and into her office to see Kai and Sarah talking.
"Hey Meg." Sarah smiles, seeing her first.
"Hey Sar, Kai." Megan smiles. She walked around to her desk, and shrugged off her coat.
"What are you up to today Meg?" Kai asks, leaning against the side of her desk, as Sarah sat down at her own desk.
"Not much. I'm going to work out in the gym though in a minute. Want to join me?" Megan asks.
"That explains what you're wearing." Kai chuckles. Megan had on athletic shorts and a tank, under her trench coat. "Sure. Luckily, I'm wearing the same thing. I'd love to join you. What about you Sarah?"
"Nah, I'm allergic to exercising." Sarah shakes her head. Megan giggles. "You kids have fun." Sarah says waving them off. Megan and Kai laugh as they head down to the gym, which was a floor below them.
"Tyson?" Megan asks, walking in. Kai looked over her shoulder to indeed see that Tyson was practicing in the bey dish that was set up in the middle of the room.
"Oh hey Meg, Kai." Tyson says, catching Dragoon. Dragoon is Tyson's Air Dragon Bit-Beast that lives in his beyblade.
"Ty, what are you doing up do early?" Kai asks. Tyson never got up earlier then 10, unless he was forced.
"I just thought I'd check out the gym here. Its better then the one in Tokyo!" Tyson smiles.
"Thanks." Megan smiles. "I make sure that it's kept up to date, and clean." Megan walks over to the treadmill and starts it up. The 3 friends then have a race on the treadmill, trying to see who can go the longest.
"Ok, I'm done." Megan huffs, exhausted. She had just ran 10 miles, and she was done. Kai smirked and stopped, he just did 11 and Tyson was currently sleeping on the bench. He lasted about 7 miles, then basically died on the bench. Megan steps off the treadmill and sits on Tyson's back.
"Oi! Meg, get off! Your heavy." Megan looked down, a truly evil look in her eyes.
"Excuse me?" Megan says sweetly, but the look in her eyes gave her away.
"I-I m-mean. Nothing! Y-Your n-not heavy!" Tyson stutters, scared out of his mind. Megan smiles for real this time.
"Thats what I thought." She smirks, turning her head away, but Tyson was already ahead of her. In one swift movement, he had somehow pinned her underneath his body, her back against the bench.
"Lets see who's smarter now?" Tyson smiles. Megan wiggled underneath him, but his grip on her wrists was really strong. Then she thought of something.
"I am." She smiles, and she knees him in the groin.
"Uggg." Tyson moans, as he falls to the ground. Kai couldn't help himself and he bursted out laughing. Megan just laid on the bench, laughing so hard, that she couldn't get up.
"Awesome Meg." Kai chuckles, as he helps her up.
"It was bloody brilliant is what it was." Megan giggles. She walks over and kneels down besides Tyson. "Sorry Ty, but it was the only way to get you off of me." Tyson opens his eyes slightly.
"Yea, ok, I guess I deserved it. But you sat on me!" Tyson whines, as Megan helps him up.
"Yea, well you should get in shape mister." Megan scolds, giggling.
"Yea, yea, whatever." Tyson says, waving it off.
"Have you ever bladed before Meg?" Kai asks.
"Ummm, well yes...sort of..." Megan says looking down.
"What does sort of mean?" Tyson asks.
"I kind of almost killed someone the last time I bladed..." Megan says looking away.
"WHAT?" Tyson and Kai shout at the same time. Megan flinches and moves away.
Kai immediately regrets shouting at her and puts a hand on her shoulder. She flinches at the touch and buckles underneath his hand.
"Its ok Meg, I won't hurt you." Kai says soothingly.
"S-Sorry. It's just when I almost killed my foster mother in Russia, my foster father beat me severely. Thats why I was sent to Northern Ireland." Kai wraps Megan in his arms and holds her close as Tyson pets her head gently.
"It's ok Meg." Tyson says. "Your safe now." Megan nodded burying her face into Kai's chest, drawing comfort from him.
The next day, Tyson, and Kai were able to convince Megan to bring her blade with her, and practice with the entire team. Megan was unsure, worried that she would hurt someone again, but remembering what happened when these 2 went at it at the last world championship, she agreed. Basically, Tyson and Kai destroyed the entire stadium.
"Ready Meg?" Kai asks, facing her across the dish.
"I think so." Megan nods, getting into position.
"Ready?" Tyson says, acting as ref. "3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!" Kai and Megan release their blades with amazing power and speed.
"Holy Crap!" Daichi shouts, standing up. "She's good!"
"Guys, she's better then good, she's great!" Kenny says, looking at the stats in his laptop. "She's at the same level as Kai and Tyson!"
"Are you serious Chief?" Ray asks, unable to believe that.
"I'm positive!"
Megan was concentrating on her blade, trying not to get out of control.
"Megan." Kai says. Megan snaps up her head, looking at Kai. "Relax. Your too tense. Let your instincts guide your blade and let your heart control it and you'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Megan asks.
"Don't worry Meg." Tyson says. "If you get out of control Kai and I will stop you." He reassures. Looking into Tyson's eyes, Megan relaxes, doing what Kai instructed. She lets go and lets her instincts and heart take over.
"Wow." She says opening her eyes. She felt free, she felt good. "This is amazing!" She smiles.
"K, now attack me Meg." Kai says. Megan nods.
"Drakima!" Drakima is Megan's Air Winged Horse Bit-beast. She shouts and her white/gold blade smashes into Kai's blue blade. Kai, not expecting her to be as good as him, almost flew out of the ring, but he held on.
"Holy Crap!" Tyson shouts this time.
"Dranzer!" Kai shouts. Dranzer is Kai's Fire Phoenix Bit-beast.
"Drakima!" The 2 blades meet in the middle and fight for ground, but it was a stalemate.
"Come on Kai! Release your power!" Daichi shouts.
"He is guys!' Kenny shouts. Ray, Max and Daichi look over, Tyson was listening, but watching the battle closely incase he needed to intervene. "Kai is a full power right now, so is Megan. They're dead even!"
"But how is that possible?" Ray asks in wonder.
"She's so good." Max says in awe.
"And she's never competed before?" Daichi asks.
"No, when she was 10, she almost killed her foster mother, and hasn't touched her blade since, until today." Tyson says.
"Thats so sad." Ray says sympathetically. The group continued to watch Megan and Kai battle. Kai helped Megan in a little strategy playing, with Tyson's help.
"Thats enough for today Meg." Kai says, breaking away and catching Dranzer. Megan nods tiredly. As the adrenaline left her body, her eyes rolled back into her head, and her knees gave way underneath her. Tyson caught her before she fell to the ground, holding her to his chest.
"Megan!" Everyone shouted, surrounding Tyson, as he shook Megan back to consciousness.
"Meg?" Tyson asks, as she blinks her eyes open.
"Uhh, Ty?" Megan asks, touching his face. "What...happened?" She looks around at the faces of her friends. Then she hears the sound of her blade still spinning. "Drakima?" The blade spins around in the dish, and flies into her hands, past Kai and Ray's heads. The blade produced a slight breeze as it settled in her hands.
"You feinted Meg." Ray answers. "I think you did too much today, since its been 10 years."
"Really?" Megan groans, putting a hand to her head. She was severely dizzy. She buried her face into Tyson's chest. Megan felt safe in Tyson's hold. He emanated a brotherly presence.
"Lets get you to bed." Kai says. Megan nods, already almost asleep.
As Kai and Tyson took Megan back to her apartment, the others continued to train.
"Key?" Kai asks. Megan rummages in her purse, and hands Kai her key, settling back into Tyson's arms. Kai opens the door to her 2 story apartment and they walk upstairs to her bedroom. Megan dresses in some sweatpants and a t-shirt as the guys look around her room.
Tyson picked up a picture frame. Inside it showed Megan with Sarah and what looked like Sarah's parents and younger sister. They were other pictures on her dresser. Ones of her and Sarah, her and Sarah's little sister, her and Mr D, the secretary Jenny, and what looked like her foster parents and foster brother in Northern Ireland. And for some reason, she also had pictures of her and Johnny, and her and Brooklyn. She looked so happy in the pictures, that Tyson smiled. He had felt such an immediate bond to Megan, he wanted to protect her and make her happy. It was strange.
Kai had picked up Drakima and looked it over. It looked like any other blade. Except he had never seen a golden/white blade before. Drakima, he noticed, was an Air type, like Dragoon. A slight breeze blew over Kai's face and he smiled.
"Kai?" Kai whipped around and saw Megan standing right behind him.
"Oh, hey Meg." Kai smiles. Megan smiles and looks down at his hands, realizing that he was holding Drakima.
"You gonna steal her?" Megan giggles. Kai smirks.
"No. But I was wondering how you hurt your foster mother?" Kai asks, putting Drakima in Megan's hand and closing her fingers around the blade.
"Well, she kind of, well, she sort of attacked me..." Megan says looking down.
"Are you serious?" Tyson asks, overhearing the conversation.
"Yea, it was the day after they found me." Megan says. "I guess I can't really call them my foster parents, I was only with them for 2 days. Anyway my foster mother was bugging me about my blade. Said that I couldn't use it, that it was fake. She kept teasing me about it and all of the sudden she launched a brick straight at my head. And I don't know, I snapped or something and I launched Drakima. All I remember is being so mad at her. I guess Drakima took that anger and attacked her. My foster mother was beaten and bloody on the floor, the next second. My foster father ran in and taking one look at his wife and Drakima spinning protectively in front of me, he snapped. He attacked me, and though Drakima protected me, he still beat me to a pulp. The next thing I remember, I woke up outside the social service building with Drakima tossed next to me. Social Services took me in and sent me to Northern Ireland, where a family was looking for a daughter to look after."
"Wow." Tyson says, sitting on her bed.
"Yea." Megan smiles wryly.
Kai wraps an arm around her shoulders, and pulls her close. "You've been through a lot haven't you?"
"Yea, well so have you." Megan giggles. "Your whole team has, haven't you Tyson?" Megan says turning to Tyson.
"Nah..." Tyson says waving it off. "Mad scientists, cybernetic Bit-beasts, crazy supernatural bladers, taking over the world nut cases, its all...eh." Tyson shrugs. Then all 3 of them burst out laughing.
"Oh, yea, cause thats so normal." Megan rolls her eyes. The boys laugh.
"Our lives just can't be normal, can they?" Kai asks.
"Nope!" Tyson and Megan say together. They look at each other and laugh again.
"Talking about weird." Tyson chuckles.
"Yea, you guys definitely act like twins." Kai says smiling, look between the 2 of them.
"No we don't!" Tyson and Megan shout at the same time. Kai chuckles and slowly Tyson and Megan laugh along.
Megan became feint and had to grab Kai's shirt, in order not to fall on the ground. Kai took Megan in his arms, bridle style.
"Meg? Are you ok?" Kai asks worried as Tyson hovers near her head.
"Mhmm, I'm just really dizzy. That battle must have taken more out of me then I thought." Megan mumbles, curling up in his arms, burying her face in his chest. Being in Kai's arms was different then being in Tyson's. While she felt safe, comfortable and loved in both, Tyson was more of a brother figure, while Kai was something more.
"Ok, lets get you to bed then." Kai says. He walks around the bed as Tyson pulls down the covers. They tuck her in and she immediately falls asleep.
Kai and Tyson leave Megan to take a nap to regain her energy, and decide to head back to the BBA to train.
"Hows Meg?" Max asks, as Tyson and Kai walk back in.
"Tired, but ok." Tyson answers.
"I still can't believe her power." Kenny says, going over the data he collected.
"Yea, and its totally all natural power." Daichi says.
"Like Brooklyn." Ray says as if realizing something. Aka, 'crazy supernatural blader'.
"Its not totally natural power." Kai says. "There seemed to be something familiar about her style, the way she bladed."
"And I know what it is." Kenny says.
"What?" Max asks.
"Her style resembles the Blitzkrieg Boys' style. Power, speed, grace, fluency, everything."
"But thats not possible." Kai says. "We have our own unique style. No one else in the world blades like us."
"Unless they went to the Abbey." Tyson says.
"Yea, but she doesn't have any of the signs of ever being at the Abbey." Ray says.
"Like what?" Daichi ask.
"Introvert, angry, cold, distant, emotionless, me." Kai says.
"But you got a lot better over time." Max says.
"I did, but not at first." Kai says.
"I talked to Sarah and she said that she had talked to her Irish foster parents and they said that she was always a happy kid." Ray says, thinking. "I just don't think she ever went to the Abbey."
"I don't think so either, but there is something familiar about her." Kai states.
"Other then, her looking like my twin?" Tyson smiles.
Kai chuckles. "Yea, though that still creeps me out."
"You and me both." Tyson chuckles.
