blitzkreig50889: I'm back and with chapter 4. Man, do I ever love being able to get on a computer and update these stories of mine whenever I want to.

Bryan: true. However, I hate having to be here while Tala, Kai, and Ian get off sick.

blitzkreig50889: well, you can take that up with them. I hardly doubt they meant to get sick. After all, if anyone gave those guys a cold it was you.

Bryan: What!? Why would I give them a cold?

blitzkreig50889: because you Mr. Ice cube, remember.

Bryan: (growls) what did you just call me?

blizkreig50889: never mind. I was joking around Bryan. Relax already. Besides, I'll have Ian do the disclaimer for your chapter since you did his second one. You however, have to do the second part of your chapter.

Bryan: humph!

blitzkreig50889: alright be that way, but you still have to do Ian's disclaimer for him.

Bryan: do I really have to?

blitzkreig50889: yes and I'll even ask nicely. Bryan will you do the disclaimer for me?

Bryan: maybe. What do I get out of this if I do?

blitzkreig50889: permission to flush Ian's Calculus homework down the toilet.

Bryan: hmmm…okay!

blitzkreig50889: Now, will you do the disclaimer for me, please?

Bryan: yep. blitzkreig50889 does not own beyblade or any of its characters. She just owns her plot ideas.

blitzkreig50889: thank you Bryan. Now on to the story! Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 4—Ian's Escape

(Ian's P.O.V)

I gagged as I forced myself to look at my reflection in the mirror. Bryan had strangely done a good job with the makeup. When I had asked him how he had managed that he said he used to help his mom apply hers just before she died. He didn't look at me when he told me that so I wisely kept my mouth shut and refrained from asking more questions. It was obvious his mother's death still hurt.

"So, Ian, think you'll pass for a convincing enough girl?" Tala asked from behind me. I just nodded. I think he could tell I didn't want to go through with the whole heels and makeup thing, but was doing it anyway to get out of here.

"C'mon, Ian you can do this," Bry encouraged me, surprising everyone with his comment. "Go and make your whole family, bit beast and teammates proud."

Still stunned all I could do was stare at him.

"Seriously, Ian. I meant what I said," Bry attempted to explain.

"Wow, Bryan, I didn't think you had it in you to be nice to him." Spencer was obviously just as shocked as I was. Tala too.

"Whatever," Bry huffed after a moment. "Take it as you will. I just see it this way; the sooner he proves that it's easy to escape the sooner we can all get out of here."

"True," Tala agreed. "Still, I would rather we didn't have to worry about that type of stuff until later. Ian still has to leave this room and manage to get out of here in two hours. If he's not gone by then, his chances of getting out of here are slim."

I gulped. "Tala, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get out of here. I still can't walk in these heels very well," I admitted nervously, expecting him to argue with me but was surprised when he didn't.

"That's true, but we all have faith in you Ian, and you know that. Like Bryan said, go and make everyone proud of you. If you pull this off you'll be an amazing person and the first of hopefully many to escape Biovolt. You can do this!"

Tala's words surprised me. It seemed all of my teammates we feeling overly generous. Still I definitely wasn't the first to escape Biovolt. Kai was, but I guess as far as Tala was concerned, today was all that mattered.

"C'mon, Ian, we all believe in you," A voice I wasn't used to hearing said softly in my mind. It belonged to Wolborg and that was all I needed to get going. I made myself move and almost fell flat on my face.

Bryan chuckled. "Maybe we should try shorter heels instead?"

I looked at him like he was nuts, but we went through with the idea anyway. Within seconds I was wearing half inch high heels instead of the two inch ones I had been wearing. And I could walk in them without falling over or even wobbling.

"Looks like Operation Night Escape Part 1 is in motion," Tala said with a strange wildness in his voice. It had been years since I had heard him talk like that.

"Yeah, "I murmured. Then, softly I spoke to Wyborg. "Ready?"

"I've never been more ready," the giant cobra said with his usual arrogance. "Let's go!"

"See ya later guys," I said quietly as I opened the door and looked around outside for any guards. There wasn't any at the moment, but we all knew they could show up at any time. "I'll make sure to make you guys all proud of me."

"See ya later twerp," Bryan remarked in his usual attitude. All kindness towards me was gone now as he put on his game face; still I could tell he would be worried all the same.

I nodded then ran like crazy for my escape route. Now the true fun of this escape would begin.

(Normal P.O.V.)

Ian ran like crazy for the nearest exit to the abbey. If he could get himself there in a matter of minutes, he'd be free for sure. As he turned a corner, he slowed down. It was time for him to act meek and like the girl he definitely was not, but was pretending to be.

"Make sure you walk like a girl Ian or they'll know for sure you're a guy trying to escape," Wyborg warned obviously worried.

"No problem," Ian assured his bit beast before continuing forward. "This is the easy part."

"I hope you're right."

"Don't worry Wyborg. I'm going to use the stink bombs as I run through the doors to the woods. It will be hard for them to move if they're too busy gagging themselves silly."

Wyborg was still worried but decided it would be better if he didn't say anything. After all, Ian would be deeply annoyed if he continued to pester him with questions. All he could do was watch Ian from inside his blade and hope for the best.

(Mean while in the other Blitzkrieg Boys' rooms…)

"Tala, this suspense stuff is killing me. When is Ian going to let us know he made it to the door?" Bryan complained.

"Whenever he decides it's safe to set off a stink bomb, and if I know Ian, it shouldn't be long before he does just that."

No sooner were the words out of Tala's mouth did the boys smell a very foul odor and heard guards cursing in the hallway. Ian had made it to his exit.

"What fucking idiot decided to go and shit all over the whole place?" one guard yelled furiously.

Another guard had a different opinion. "What smells like fucking shit and fucked up bodies?" This caused a huge round of laughter. The guards were close and the three boys still in their room huddled in a corner to avoid making noise and drawing attention to their room.

"Who can make a smell like this anyway?" another guard from another section asked. He was new to this particular section and asked far too many questions for his comrades liking.

"God if I know," one of the others answered. "Wait! The only person I know who could make a stink like that is Ian Papov. Hey, where is Ian anyway? I haven't seen him all day."

Tala, Bryan, and Spencer shivered in terror. "Run, Ian, run!" they murmured together.

(Ian's P.O.V.)

I ran like a bat out of hell. I hadn't expected the guards to recover so quickly from the smell my stink bombs had created. Still, I was close to my exit. All I had to do was continue to move slowly towards the door.

I was almost there when I heard a guard yell at me. "Shit," I thought, but forced myself to stay there until the guard came over to me. I must have been a pretty convincing girl because he just looked at me as if he wanted to fuck me. Not a good thought, I know, but that was definitely what he had to be thinking.

"What are you doing out at this time of the night girl?"

I did my best to make my voice sound feminine when I answered him. "Just going for a walk." A lot of girls go for walks at night so I figured I would use that as my excuse.

The guard just huffed. "Whatever. Just make sure you get back to your room in ten minutes. It's almost time for curfew."

I nodded and watched the guard leave. I had gotten lucky. I waited until I didn't see any more guards again then hurried to the door. Within seconds I was outside and free! I wanted to laugh but wisely kept my mouth shut until I had gotten through the meadow and the woods just past Biovolt.

After about ten minutes of waiting to see if I had been followed I finally relaxed. And then I laughed like crazy. I was finally free! And my teammates would soon be free too.

"Now, you have to get Mr. Dickenson," Wyborg reminded me. It was time for me to put Bryan's escape in our escape plan into action.

blitzkreig50889: so what do you think?

Bryan: seemed pretty good to me.

blitzkreig50889: wow, that's a shocking comment especially since it's coming from you.

Bryan: haha. Don't expect me to be like this every time.

blitzkreig50889: I won't. Anyway, to the reader, I hope you liked this chapter and send me a review to let me know how I'm doing. I hadn't written this chapter down before I typed it so I hope it's ok.

Bryan: it's fine.

blitzkreig50889: maybe to you and I but the readers might disagree. Anyway, please review! Chapter five should be up soon.
