Chaos Central
Previously-
At a random place in China-
"Tyson! Where the heck are you? You made me run ten miles damnit!" 'Man! Never imagined that the guy could run this fast' The Drigger wielder could hear a villain's chuckle at a distance and he was more or less, provoked by the insensitive Tyson.
"Tyson! I'll get you for making me lose a fortune on those hamburgers you moron!" Boy! If only a thunder and lightning would have striked at this moment….
At the dojo-
Kai still couldn't believe that the brunette had behaved in umm a mature way?!?
He quietly followed her to the kitchen and saw her make some toast for herself. He wanted to ask of why she hadn't eaten the breakfast which he had prepared but he decided against it. After all, the brunette was in a deadly mood today thanks to his en route escape plan from the previous day and a certain lame dame…
Now-
/ring/
Max was just about to hit the nearest disco with Mariam when he was interrupted by a call from his mobile and wanna know what his ringtone is? The 'jingle bells' music version! No surprises there...
"Hiya, Max here"
"Max is that you?"
"O hey Chief, wassup?"
"Um… did I disturb you or something?"
"Nope," said Max giving a sideway glance to Mariam. He was evidently lying.
"O that's great. Mind if I break a piece of news to you? No make that two."
"Sure, its good right?"
"Depends on the way you look at it" said Kenny laughing nervously.
" 'kay just fire away" He took a deep breath for when the geeky friend of his said something like this, it always was either very bad or utterly absurd.
"RaygotturnedintoacatduetoTyson'scrazyabsudity! & HilaryandKaiarerumorednoconfirmedtobegoingaroundbutthetruthisthattheyarenot!" recited Kenny in one breath. And you might very well know the reaction of Max. The blonde never even understood a letter ofwhat Kenny spoke. Was it Latin?
"Woah Kenny! Calm down and tell me what you told again and please don't panic while ya speak" told Max whilst scratching his head out of the nerve-wracking tornado that Kenny had just come up with.
"Understood!" replied Kenny, "Firstly let me tell you of the less chaotic news. I just got a call from one of my trusted companions of Japan, they say that an article in a newspaper saying that Kai declared Hilary to be his girlfriend is flooding the whole of Japan and has been the talk of the country."
"Wow!" is all Max had to say. He along with Tyson and Ray had known for a long time that the two people of the topic had been keeping their crushes on each other a secret. But he wasn't that naïve to not notice. 'This was bound to happen' thought Max while adding to Kenny, "But what's chaotic about this info, chief?"
"uh… I was getting to it" and the Chief added another nervous chuckle whilst sweatdropping, "The catch is, as soon as I got to know of this, I called up Hilary because I knew that if I had called Kai, he would only hang up. When I asked her if the piece of information was truth, she huffed and said that it was not, and Kai only did that to escape from a crazy fan girl; her name was Nina Sanders, I think."
"So, this IS chaotic then… so this Sanders girl, she's that the dumb blonde who keeps annoying Hils at school, right?"
"Totally affirmative!"
"Right! So Kai and Hilary are really in a fix, huh?"
"Right again…"
"But don't worry, Chief. I'm totally sure that it'll turn out to be a truth by the time we return back to Japan, wanna bet?"
"No, thank you! And now, would you like to hear the news which is utter absurdity?"
"Yes please," replied Max and braced himself for his gut feeling was telling him that it was definitely not good.
"Do you really want to know about this?"
"Hell, yes!"
"O well, Tyson called me up after all this, I was delighted to hear him and thought that he would be very shocked to hear about Hilary and Kai as well, but it was actually me who got shocked… Tyson in his call said that Ray's turned into a cat. I initially thought that it was some kind of a childish prank of his, but when he reconfirmed his piece of info, imagine my astonishment!"
"…" Max was too shocked to reply for his jaws had dropped to ground level and Mariam looked at him with a questioning glance.
"Max, are you there?"
"Yea! I sure as hell am… HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?" shouted Max at the top of his voice and Kenny could only cringe in response.
/flashback/
As we all know, Tyson had insensitively cheated Ray into paying for his hamburgers and when Ray did get to know of this, he did what any sane person would do, chase after the rogue which in this case happened to be Tyson Granger. So, it wasn't Ray's fault that this happened, right? As to how it happened-
"Tyson! Come back here!" shouted Ray; he had chased Tyson for twenty miles but he hadn't gotten that tired. What amazed him was how a pig like Tyson could run like a cheetah? 'Probably he's gotten practice from chasing around Max and Daichi 'thought Ray as he continued to run after dragoon's master. The two of them had now reached near a place full of small springs. Both of them were ignorant of the fact that they were the cursed springs of China. Tyson swiftly jumped on the bamboo sticks which grew from the beds of the springs and had miraculously crossed the whole place. Ray was more or less amazed by this feat of his goofy friend. He went after the ponytailed guy by jumping on the bamboos as well.
"Hey misters please do not trespass this area its very dangerous." The person who said this was the fulltime guard of this place. But when the guard got no response from the referred guys, he only had to make his stand clear. 'The ponytailed one has crossed the springs, I better tell the long haired one before its too late!' thought the guard as he shouted "Hey you, longhaired one! Be careful, you could turn into a cat if you fall at the spring below you!"
Ray had just crossed almost all the springs and he had just one more to cross. When he heard the guard's warning, he was shocked. Are these springs for real? 'I better be careful now.' So thinking, Ray stopped dead on his tracks and took a deep breath. He was preparing himself to jump to the other side of the ravine. He took the opportunity to scan the whole area. These cursed springs were in a ravine and the only things that connected the two mountains were thousands of bamboo sticks. Now if only Tyson hadn't led him to this dangerous place, he would have been resting at the hotel where both of them had checked in( separate rooms of course!). He had a funny feeling from the point where Tyson had entered into the mountains which were a few miles away from the town's restaurant that something wrong was about to happen...
Even the ponytailed blader heard the warning given out to Ray. He thought that he had to help out Ray. 'I think Ray's a bit scared now to cross the last spring. I have to save him!' The ponytailed blader was dumb enough to mistake Ray's cautious stand for fear. Since when did THE Ray get afraid of things? "Don't worry buddy!" shouted Tyson at the top of his voice, "I'll not let you turn into a cat" The guard blew the victory trumpet on hearing Tyson's brave proclamation. Don't ask where he got the trumpet from!
Ray stood with horror as Tyson jumped on a bamboo near his own bamboo and held out a hand for Ray to hold on to. In all the excitement, Tyson almost lost his balance and pushed Ray into the spring instead! And you might know that it was the very hand that was stretched out to save Ray. Tyson however regained his balance and was quick enough to jump on another bamboo. But what was poor Ray's condition?
Ray fell headlong into the very spring that the guard had warned about. The guard now switched to playing a sad note on the violin. Again, don't ask where that came from!
Tyson sweatdropped as he had just realized that Ray fell into the spring because of him. Too late! " um.. Ray… come on buddy… where are ya?"
NO answer.
Tyson crossed the springs again and shouted from above to the guard, "Hey guard, you were lying weren't you?"
The guard stopped playing the violin and remorsefully shook his head. "I'am afraid o foolish one, that your comrade has turned into a cat because of you alone…"
'oopsies! I'm in biiiiig trouble!' thought the foolish one. He was in big trouble all right!
"meow!" and this alone was enough to prove it all…
/end flashback/
"…" Max just was too astounded to hear all of this.
"Well, that's how Ray's turned into a cat"
"Chief, just one question… is this for real?"
"Its is, Max, it is. But there is one thing to cheer about. When Tyson asked of how Ray had turned into a cat, the guard replied, "A hundred years ago, a Cheshire cat drowned in the very spring that your friend fell into. The ghost of the cat has been haunting this spring ever since. Therefore, whoever unluckily falls into this spring gets turned into a cat. However, it isn't permanent. The victim remains in the new form only when he/she is wetted by cold water. So, if your friend is splashed with hot water, he'll turn back into his original self. From now on, your friend must keep away from cold water and only use hot water whenever he wants to use water."
"Oo… chief, that's definitely something to be happy for…"
"This isn't over yet, Max. If Ray doesn't find the cure for this within a year, he'll be turned into a cat forever!"
"… That Tyson's such a pig!"
"That's very true… so Max, I was wondering if we could go to China right now and assist Tyson for after the guard told of the temporary cure, Ray demanded some hot water in his cat language and somehow the guard understood the demand and gave him the hot water. Ray turned back to his normal self and got hold of Tyson and gave him a thrashing. But to Ray's bad luck it rained at that place and he's turned back to the cat. Tyson called up and told me of why he ran in the first place and all of this. Ray's been scratching Tyson in anger ever since the happening. So Ty's wondering if we could help him take back the entire luggage as he alone cannot do it."
"But chief, why can't he turn back Ray to his original form?"
"I asked the same question but Tyson's too afraid to turn him back, what if Ray kills him in his anger? I mean its not everyday that Ray gets angry and if he does get angry, he stays that way for a long time."
"You know chief, this is all Tyson's fault… who'd be stupid enough to set a deathtrap for their own best friend.. I say, let him come back with Ray in his cat's form and let him(Tyson) carry back all the luggage. That's the punishment he must get."
"But it's a bit harsh, don't you think?"
"Nope, for the trouble he's caused, he deserves it. However we could go to China after a week…"
"As you say, Max. I'm very surprised that your mature enough to give a reasonable verdict…"
"Chief, just call him back and tell him, okay?" said Max whilst trying hard not to yell at Kenny.
Meanwhile at the dojo-
Kai was trying hard to cool down Hilary. He even felt tad a bit guilty for what he had done to her and wanted to apologize for it, but his ego told otherwise- How was he supposed to know that his brilliant plan would bomb in a way he had never expected? I mean it wasn't like it was him who invited the Sanders girl over EXACTLY near the store filled with a huge crowd and asked her to bitch at Hilary, right? He just had to do it to save himself from the crazy chick who constantly nagged him. However he did admit to himself that he had overlooked the possibility of snoopy reporters following him wherever he went. And he definitely sympathized with Hilary, but for some reason, he felt just that- a bit guilty. Because deep in his heart he knew that there was SOME truth in the article of the newspaper. Blame his teenage hormones, he did have a crush on Hilary but tried hard to suppress it. For it wasn't 'Kaish' to have girlfriends. That is why he's always nagging Hilary for something or the other so that Hilary doesn't figure out his true feelings and he had to admit to himself that he was feeling a bit exulted when he had made that proclamation to Sanders.
Hilary on the other hand, was panicking inside herself as to how to solve this chaotic mess. 'Now Sanders will annoy me even more and I'll have to handle all the violence from Kai's fangirls. Now why did I have to get myself into all of this, if only my parents had stayed… all this would never have happened. Now this bastard will definitely annoy me and my life's gonna change into a living hell for nothing I did!' Hilary sighed umpteenth time whilst biting her toast . Hilary sipped some milk from the glass and was surprised to see Kai sit in front of her. 'Now what does this moron want?'
"Having fun?" was all Kai could say. He just couldn't resist annoying Hilary for she looked cute when she got angry.( according to him at least)
Hilary clenched her fists again whilst vein throbbing but didn't reply. She just continued eating her breakfast and Kai was surprised again. He tried once again-" You're over reacting…"
Hilary just glared at him and resumed eating again. Kai got tired of this and walked away. But he did hear her yell "Moron!" and he could only smirk in response. And he smirked wider when he caught a spoon being thrown at him. 'It did work after all!'
