Chapter 8
Megan walked down the hallway, not feeling Emma presence behind her, but knowing that she was there. Megan had made it clear to the agents that they were not to be seen following the bladers. If Boris and Voltaire were watching them, Megan didn't want them knowing that M16 was helping with security. Alex on the other hand was able to go public, and act as a friend towards the bladers.
Megan walked underneath the entry way and onto the stadium floor. The stadium was empty now, only the maintenance crew was around, getting the place ready for later tonight. Megan walked up the steps and stood next to the dish, looking around at the empty stadium. She felt an ache in her heart as she looked around. She had felt so good blading in front of those people, with Kai. She felt alive, like she never had before.
"Hey Meg." Megan whips around to find Julia and Raul standing on the stadium floor, smiles on their faces.
"Oh hey Julia, Raul." Megan smiles. She sat down, next to the dish, letting her legs hang over the edge. "What's up?"
"You want to blade." Julia says smiling, arms crossed.
"Wh-? I- umm..." Megan fumbles.
"It wasn't a question Meg." Raul smirks.
"It was a statement." Julia finishes.
"First that was creepy." Megan says referring to how the twins finished each others sentences. "And second, how did you know..." Megan whines, laying her upper body on the floor behind her.
"It was how you looked around the stadium." Julia smiles. "The look in your eyes. You want to compete don't you?"
Megan sits up. "Yes. Ok? I want to compete." Megan groans. "But what am I going to do? I mean I can't just join a team can I?"
"Yea, you can." Raul smiles.
"Your already on ours." Julia elaborates.
"Uh?" Megan says.
"We saw you blading against Kai, and saw how much you loved it." Raul says.
"And we kind of need another blader, so we signed you up." Julia smiles.
Megan smiles, and jumps off, running to hug the twins. "You guys are the best."
"We know!" Julia and Raul smile, hugging Megan back.
For the rest of the day, Megan practiced with F-Dynasty. They were saving the surprise for when they later went up against the Bladebreakers.
"The guys are going to go completely mental, you do realize this." Alex says as he walks with F-Dynasty. Megan had to let M16 know that she was going to be on F-Dynasty and that she was going to be wearing a black hooded jacket, to mask her identity until she bladed.
"Thats the point Alex." Megan smilies, pulling up the hood, completely hiding her face in shadows.
"What ever Meg." Alex chuckles.
"And now folks!" DJ announces. "The first match between the Bladebreakers and F-Dynasty! Julia vs Max!"
Julia beat Max, but Raul lost against Ray. Now it was Megan and Tyson. But Tyson just thought it was some weird hooded person.
"And now, the last and deciding battle! Tyson vs, um our mysterious guest?"
"Michele, DJ." Megan says in a deeper voice.
"Michele it is!" DJ says. "Ready bladers? 3-2-1 Let it Rip!" Tyson and Megan launch their blades into the dish and immediately Kenny starts typing like a mad man.
"Ummm guys?" Kenny says tentatively.
"Yea Chief?" Daichi asks.
"Who ever Julia and Raul got to blade with them is powerful."
"How powerful?" Kai asks.
"Like Tyson strong." Kenny says.
"Well poop." Daichi pouts.
"Go Dragoon!" Tyson shouts. Dragoon slams into Drakima, but Drakima stands her ground. "W-What?" Tyson asks flabbergasted.
"That the best you got?" Megan asks mockingly, still in her deeper voice.
Tyson grinds his jaw, getting pissed off quickly. "No way! Go!" Dragoon attacks, but with a flick of her hand Drakima flies into the air, completely dodging the attack.
"Go!" Megan shouts. Drakima slams down from above onto Tyson's blade, which skids around the dish, sparks flying. Drakima lands in the middle of the ring, calmly spinning in place.
Tyson growls as Dragoon steadies himself and starts circling Drakima.
"Calm down Tyson!" Max shouts. "She's trying to get to you!"
"Yea, chill out Ty!" Ray shouts.
"Tyson she's really good. Don't underestimate her!" Kenny shouts.
"I know guys!" Tyson shouts, gritting his teeth. Then he takes a deep breath, closing his eyes. Dragoon visibly calms down as well, and circles Drakima more calmly. Then Tyson snaps open his eyes.
"Attack Dragoon! Hyper Victory Tornado!" The wind picks up creating a tornado in the dish, with Dragoon in the middle. Dragoon charges forward.
"Go!" Megan shouts. "Hurricane Gale!" Drakima's own wind storm picks up, just as powerful as Tyson's. The 2 blades clashed in the middle. Wind whipping around the stadium violently. Megan put her arms up in front of her, protecting her from the violent winds. As the blades themselves finally made contact, a blast occurred, throwing dust everywhere.
"Hang on folks!" DJ shouts. "Until this dust cloud disappears, its anyone's guess as to who is coming out on top!"
Tyson looked up from his kneeling position, to hear the 2 blades still spinning. He couldn't believe how strong this girl was.
Megan stood up, trying to look through the dust cloud. She was really weak, but not as bad as she was before.
"It looks like both blades are still spinning!" DJ announces. "But they are both struggling to keep spinning."
Drakima falters first, but regains her balance. Then Dragoon falters. Both were absolutely exhausted. Then...
"Its a tie!" DJ says. "Unbelievable! This girl tied with the World Champ!"
"I'm not just a girl." Megan says in her normal voice, attracting everyone's attention. Julia and Raul smiled as the Bladebreakers look at Megan in astonishment.
"M-Meg?" Tyson asks.
Megan smiles and pulls off her hood, which somehow didn't blow off. "Its me Ty." She beams.
"Wow! Its Megan Masefield! It seems that she has joined F-Dynasty and just tied their first match!" The crowd roars in excitement, as Megan and Tyson get their blades.
"Jeez Meg!" Tyson says smiling. "I can't believe your competing!"
"Yea, me neither. Julia and Raul approached me, but I'm glad that I'm doing it." Megan smiles, pocketing Drakima.
"Me too Meg." Tyson smiles. Then the rest of the Bladebreakers walk up the steps.
"Megan!" Max shouts catching her up in a hug. "I can't believe your competing! This is so cool!" Max shouts.
"Maxie." Megan says unsure. "Did you have some sugar?" She asks as she pulls away.
"Just a little." Max admits, chuckling. Megan shakes her head.
"Damn Meg." Ray smiles. "You sure know how to make a flashy entrance."
"I know." Megan smiles, going up on her toes. "I'm bloody brilliant."
Kai smirked from behind the group. He should have known that was Megan. He hadn't seen Megan at all since Alex first showed up yesterday.
That night the bladers decided to go out partying. Since it wasn't a formal competition, the bladers were much more relaxed. Together, Sarah, Johnny, Alex and Megan showed the group the best club in the city, The Tempest Club. Kenny decided to hang back as partying wasn't his thing, while Daichi couldn't go because he was underaged.
"Now this, is what I'm talking about." Spencer smirked, as the group walked in. "Party!" And like that the Blitzkrieg Boys disappeared.
"Oh god." Kai groans as his childhood friends disappear into the crowd.
"Do they always do that?" Megan asks, from Kai's side. Her red halter, knee length dress, flowing gracefully.
"Only all the time." Kai groans, pinching the bridge of his nose. Megan giggled, as everyone started dispersing.
"Come on Meg." Brooklyn smiles. "Lets go have some fun."
Megan smiles. "Kai? Alex? Sarah? Julia?"
"Sure."
The group heads over to the dance floor and dances along to the pumping music. Kai was just standing there, watching with distaste as Megan danced with Brooklyn. Megan laughed as Brooklyn did a funny dance move. Kai was not having fun watching them have fun.
Megan laughed as Brooklyn went back to dancing behind her.
"What?" Brooklyn chuckled.
"Your completely mental, you know that Brooks?" Megan laughed leaning back into his chest.
"Completely." Brooklyn chuckled, putting his hands back on her hips.
To Megan and Brooklyn it was a purely friendship relationship, but to Kai, it looked like they really liked each other.
"I'm going to get a drink Brooks." Megan shouted over the music. Brooklyn nodded and Megan went over to the bar. Since she wasn't a drinker, she just got a coke.
"Thanks." She said to the bartender as he handed her, her drink. She was sipping at her drink, when a hand went to her shoulder. She jumped and turned around, seeing Kai.
"Jeez Kai, you scared me." Megan smiles, a hand to her heart. "You know that M16 can't protect us very well here, with all the people. I've been jumpy."
"Sorry Megs." Kai smiles.
Megan smiles, standing up. "It's ok Kai, I'll be right back. Wait here." Megan walks down the back hall to the restrooms. As she was about to open the door, an arm came around her neck, pulling her back into a hard chest, cutting of her air.
"L-Let g-g-go." Megan chokes out, grabbing the arm with her hands, trying to pull it off, but the guy was too strong.
"I don't think so." A deep voice says sickeningly. The voice caused shivers up and down Megan's spine. She didn't recognize the voice, but it didn't sound pleasant.
He pulled her out the back door and threw her on the ground, where her head hit the pavement with a sickening thud. The guy then whipped out a gun and shot her, before she could blink. The bullet soared through the air and went through the side of Megan's torso, right under her ribs. Megan screamed out in pain. In the next second, M16 agents appeared and shot the man dead. The only thing Megan could remember before she fell unconscious was Emma's worried face as she tried to keep her awake.
Inside the gunshot was heard as clear as day and people scrambled to get out the front doors. Kai, who was still waiting for Megan, immediately ran back towards the restrooms. He saw that the back door was busted open and ran out to see the M16 agents shoot the man dead. Emma was hovering over Megan, pressing down on a profusely bleeding wound on her side. Kai ran over and kneeled down at Megan's side after she fell unconscious.
"An ambulance is on the way." Bryan says. Bryan Wheeler was one of Kai's bodyguards.
"Kai! Meg!" Tyson bursted out of the club. As soon as he saw Megan on the ground bleeding, it was like he went into big-brother mode. He kneeled by her head, looking at the nasty wound as Emma tried to keep the bleeding in check. "W-What happened?" He asks, looking at Adam. Adam O' Mally was one of Tyson's bodyguards.
"Some how this guy got a hold of Megan in the club. He threw her out on the pavement and then we heard a gunshot." Adam says. "We immediately came over and shot the guy dead."
It was then that the ambulance skidded to a stop.
"What happened?" One of the paramedics asks.
"She got shot in the side, and she has lost a lot of blood." Emma says. "I've stopped it as much as I could, but she's bleeding a lot of blood."
"You 2." The other paramedic says, pointing to Kai and Tyson. "Help us get her onto the trolley."
Kai and Tyson nodded and eased Megan onto the trolley. The paramedics quickly took her into the ambulance and Emma hopped in, and they drove off.
