Chapter 6
The entire group soon left the airport, and headed to the hotel that they would be staying at, and it just so happened to be across the street from Megan's apartment.
"And these are your key cards." Megan says, handing the cards to the captains. "I wonder were Sarah went..."
"Here!" Sarah says coming from the elevators. "Sorry I had to make sure everything was perfect. Hey Julia!" Sarah smiles.
"Hey Sar." Julia smiles.
"Brooklyn! Good to see you after so long." Sarah says.
"It has been awhile since I visited Meg, hasn't it?" Brooklyn smiles uneasily. People were giving him looks again, as the group stood in the lobby. Megan moved to his side reassuringly as she gave people nasty looks in return.
"Lets go and have you guys put your stuff away and then we can head over to the BBA building." Megan offered. Everyone agreed.
"Awesome gym." Lee comments as the group walks in.
"I said the same thing!" Tyson chuckles.
"Thanks guys, your compliments mean a lot." Megan smiles.
"You set this up?" Rick asks.
"Mhmm."
"Amazing..." Spencer says in awe.
"Not too bad." Tala compliments.
"So, who wants a piece of the champ?" Tyson boosts.
"Oh hell yes." Michael says.
"No me!" Lee says.
"If anyone, its going to be be me!" Bryan says.
"Idiots." Tala says.
"Yea, its me!" Crusher says.
"How about the 5 of you against the 4 original Bladebreakers?" Megan says.
"5 against 4?" Ray says unbelievingly.
"What?" Megan smiles. "Scared?"
"Hell no!" Tyson says. Kai, Ray and Max glare at Megan, knowing now, that they couldn't get out of it. Megan smiled happily.
"3-2-1 Let it Rip!" 9 blades fly into the dish. Max's green blade, Kai's blue blade, Ray's grey blade, and Tyson's white blade sit comfortably in the middle as Michael, Lee, Bryan, Tala and Crusher's blades circle them.
"Lets go Trygle!" Michael shouts. Max takes his old teammate head on.
"Go Draciel!" Max's Turtle of Water attacks.
"Come on Galeon!" Lee shouts.
"Driger!" Ray shouts and his Tiger of Thunder attacks his old teammate.
"Lets go Gigars!" Crusher shouts, and Tyson takes on the BEGA blader.
"Ready Bryan?" Tala asks with a smile.
"Haha of course!" And Bryan and Tala double team Kai.
All the mini-battles end in a tie as Kai was still fighting to hold on.
"Meg!" Kai shouts. "You better, ah, fix your mess!" He shouts as Tala attacks him again.
"What's she going to do?" Lee chuckles.
"I wouldn't cross her Lee." Ray warns.
Megan smirks and stands next to Kai. "Are you sure Kai?" She asks.
"Don't worry Meg, these guys can handle it." Kai smirks. "Go for it."
"Alright." Megan smiles, and she pulls out her blade and launcher.
"Megan blades?" Eddy says in wonder.
"I thought she was an assistant!" Kevin says as Megan gets into her stance. Megan launches Drakima into the dish and rams into Wolborg, Tala's Wolf of Ice. Tala, not expecting her to be so strong, almost flew out of the dish, but hung on.
"Holy Sh-!" Tala exclaims.
"Oh my gosh." Mariah says, totally blown away.
"What?" Crusher says.
"That's..." Julia whispers.
"She's amazing!" Emily says.
Megan smiles, enjoying herself. "Lets go Drakima!" She shouts.
"She..."
"has..."
"a..."
"Bit-beast..." The Majestics say in turn, ending with Johnny.
"Unbelievable." Johnny says, shaking his head. "She never told me."
"There was a reason she didn't say anything." Brooklyn says.
That got everyone's attention, including those that were blading. Megan looked down, Drakima spinning contently in the middle of the dish. Kai wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. Megan looked up, her eyes locking with Brooklyn's and she nodded, silently telling him that she would tell everyone.
"I guess I should start by telling you guys that I never knew my true family. I was born in Russia, as far as I can tell. I also don't remember anything from before I was 10. When I was 10, my first foster parents, they found me running away from something, but I couldn't tell them what as I didn't remember. 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. Then I met my foster parents, my brother and Brooklyn." Megan smiled, looking at Brooklyn. "It was tough the first couple of weeks. I kept Drakima hidden, but of course my brother and Brooklyn were into blading, so I watched them all the time. Eventually everyone accepted that I would never pick up a blade again, but I always watched, learning. Then after 5 years, I was old enough to live on my own, so I moved here, where I always wanted to live. And Sarah's family took me in." Sarah smiled at Megan, at the mention of her name. "I lived with them for 4 years and since Sarah's mom had worked for Mr D before, I was able to get a job here, and quickly rose through the ranks. I finally got my own place last year. And when the Bladebreakers came, Tyson and Kai were able to help me start blading again." Megan smiles, hugging Kai back.
"Wow Megan." Mariah says, tears streaming down her face. "I'm gonna cry!"
"You're already crying Mar." Emily smiles, tears starting to form, as she wrapped an arm around Mariah's shoulders.
"But that doesn't explain how your such an amazing blader." Rick says in awe. Megan smiled, pulling away from Kai. She gave Kai a look and he nodded.
"Drakima!"
"Dranzer!" Wind and Fire combined and smashed Bryan and Tala's blades.
Acting quickly, Tala defended Bryan by releasing his Ice. Tala and Bryan barely managed to stay in the dish, but did so. The battle continued and soon the group began making observations.
"They all play with the same style." Garland comments.
"Her style resembles the Blitzkrieg Boys' style. Power, speed, grace, fluency, everything." Kenny says.
"But thats not possible." Ian says. Although he couldn't deny what he was seeing.
"Yea, The Blitzkrieg boys have their own style, sense they were raised in the Abbey." Michael says.
"But look at her!" Raul says. "She's blading like them."
"How is this possible?" Mystel says.
"Drakima!"
"Dranzer!" Finally Tala and Bryan were overwhelmed and Kai and Megan knocked them out of the dish.
"Ok, I'm done." Tala huffed, hands supporting him from behind. "Meg's a beast."
Megan laughed, catching Drakima as she flew into her hand.
"I second that." Bryan says falling to his knees. "Those two together are hell."
Kai smirked as he caught Dranzer. Kai and Megan turned to each other, giving each other a high five.
"Megan's just like Tyson." Ray says to Kenny, Daichi and Max, who were standing next to him.
"What do you mean?" Max asks.
"I mean her personality, to some extend anyway. And her Bit-beast. Drakima of Air. She uses the wind like Tyson does." Ray explains.
"It is true." Kenny says. "Though her style resembles the Blitzkrieg Boys, the way she uses her blade and her element is identical to Tyson. And she has a bond with Drakima as strong, if not stronger then Tyson and Dragoon."
"This is crazy." Daichi says. "Are you saying that she's like a mix of both Tyson and Kai?"
"Yea, but I can't explain why." Ray says looking at Kai and Megan as they smile at each other.
"Yes, I want the press to keep their questions relevant and not get to personal." Megan says into the phone. "No, thats not relevant! Blading questions only! Yes! Just tell them! Fine...yea, bye." Megan slams the phone down, and groans, running her hand through her hair.
"Having fun?" Brooklyn smiles, walking in, Johnny and the Bladebreakers behind him.
"Put a sock in it Brooks." Megan groans, leaning back in her chair, looking up at the ceiling.
"The press is always fun to handle." Kenny chuckled.
"Chief..." Megan warns.
"Sorry Meg." Kenny says, trying not to laugh.
"Here Meg. You need this." Johnny says handing her a cup of tea.
"Ahhh thank you Johnny!" Megan smiles taking a sip of the good English tea. "Ah, perfect."
"Your welcome Meg." Johnny smiled. Kai frowned from his position, leaning up against the wall.
"So what was the question they asked you about?" Max says.
"If Ty and I are related." Megan smiles, at Tyson.
"Of course!" Tyson smiles. "They want to know if Megan has the privilege of being related to me or not!"
"Oi!" Megan shouts and the group laughs.
"Alright guys." Ray says. "Calm down. When's the opening ceremony Meg?"
"In 2 hours." Megan groans. "Press conference is in one. I-" The phone ringing interrupts her. "Sorry guys, excuse me."
Megan picks up the phone, sitting up in her chair. "Megan Masefield, head of London BBA, how my I-" Megan's face drained of all color. "W-What?" She stutters. The guys were shocked. Why was she so scared? "When?...Ok, yes, they're right in front of me...yea, I-I'll tell them. Thanks." Megan sets down the phone shakily. Elbows on her desk, Megan had her hands in her hair, face looking down at the desk. Reacting quickly, Tyson knelt down besides Megan's chair, spinning it around.
"Meg, what is it? You look like you saw a ghost." Tyson asks, seriously worried for her.
"T-Ty, they got out of j-jail." Megan says, looking at Tyson.
"Who Meg?" Tyson asks, taking her face in his hands.
"V-Voltaire a-and B-B-Boris." Megan says.
The entire room seemed to freeze in time.
"N-No way." Brooklyn says.
Kai frowned. He didn't like the sound of this.
"I'm so sorry Brooklyn, Kai. But its legit." Megan says, looking at the both of them in turn. "Apparently they had connections outside and those connections broke them out. Just hours ago, they found them gone."
"After all they've done." Tyson growls. He took Megan's hands in his and stood up, bringing Megan up with him.
"We have to be careful guys." Max says.
"Max is right." Kai says. "Voltaire and Boris will come after us sooner or later. We know too much about them."
"Then I'll need to tighten security." Megan says. "I know it'll probably not do much good, considering who we are dealing with, but it's better then nothing." Tyson lets her go as she makes her call.
