blitzkrieg50889: ok here's the next chapter and if I'm updating too fast please let me know. I can't seem to get as many reviews as I would like and I think it has to do with how quickly I'm updating. Let me know if that's the problem.

Tala: hey! Don't put yourself down. I think you're doing great. I like how you're managing to write this fic.

blitzkreig50889: aw! Thanks Tala!

Ian: ugh! You just had to go and get mushy didn't you Tala?

Tala: Can it Ian!

blitzkreig50889: hey, guys, didn't I ask you to bring Spencer with you?

Ian: yeah, but he wasn't able to make it…he got the flu or something like that.

blitzkreig50889: oh man! Poor Spencer! Well then, in that case, is Kai and Bryan on their way?

Tala: uh…

Ian: …

blitzkreig50889: what is that supposed to mean?

Tala: Well, Bryan's sick because he caught whatever Spencer has and Kai has, well, disappeared.

blitzkreig50889: then that means one of you two have to do the disclaimer.

Tala: (Jumps about waving hand) I'll do it!

Ian: thank you Tala!

Tala: can it Ian! (To reader) blitzkreig50889 does not own beyblade or any of its characters she just owns the plots to the stories she comes up with.

blitzkreig50889: Thanks you Tala. Anyway, I hope you like the chapter and hopefully I managed to make this one funny since the others were a little slow. I'm truly trying to come up with good jokes to make this interesting.

Ian: besides, I'm sure I'll make a few wisecracks at Johnny and Cass…heheheh.

Tala: Ian you so need a life.

blitzkreig50889: (sighs as the two get into a fight) there they go again. Anyway, hope you like the chapter.

Chapter 7—Spencer's Hope

(Tala's P.O.V.)

"So, Spence, are you ready to get out of here?"

Spencer groaned as I asked him for probably the 800th time if he was ready to leave. "Of course I am. Didn't I just tell you that five minutes ago?"

I was nervous. Strange huh? After all Spencer's the one escaping tonight, not me. Maybe it's just Kai's return that's got me all jittery. After all, we were doing great with leaving before he returned. But then again, he did help Bryan escape so maybe I'm just beginning to go crazy or something weird like that.

"Tala, are you ok?" Kai asked from his corner. He normally didn't ask me anything, and just brooded in a corner by himself. I wasn't sure I cared for him knowing what it was we were going to do to escape. He didn't have the best secret keeping abilities in the world, or at least I don't think he does. But then again, neither do I.

"Hey, Spencer, can I ask you a question?" Kai queried from his corner. Spencer tensed and I began to worry. Part of me wondered if he was picking up some sort of signal I wasn't. After all, I don't know what type of animal DNA is in his blood.

Still even though I'm sure Kai meant well, I worried. After all, Kai hadn't been the most trustworthy companion and friend in the world to have.

I looked at Spencer. He seemed to be deciding whether or not to answer Kai's question. After a moment, he did so. What he said shocked me into a state of wonderment at his courage.

(Normal P.O.V.)

"Kai, what's your question because if it deals with my animal DNA, I know what it is. It's the DNA of an orca."

Tala gaped at Spencer's remark, and Kai just looked surprised. He obviously hadn't expected a marine creature's DNA to be used.

"Oh," was all Kai could say. Spencer looked away and started to explain how it was he knew that.

"Listen, I know this is probably going to sound weird but I know that this DNA actually was given to me through Seaborg in an attempt to protect me from the vampire DNA that Boris tried to use. The tattoo on my back has the vampire wings, but it doesn't have the right colors, signifying that Seaborg was successful in helping me be immune to the vampire DNA. And on top of that, the orca DNA protects me from the cold. The only bad part is that my abilities only work at their best when I'm near or in water."

Tala's jaw had dropped. "Are you actually serious, Spence?"

Spencer snarled his next comment at him. "Of course I'm serious! I wouldn't have told you what I did if I was kidding around."

Kai blinked. "Tala, do you have a death wish?" he asked suddenly.

"No, why?"

"Because if you don't shut up here soon, you'll see what Spencer's new orca DNA can do. That means you will probably have met your match in physical combat, not that Spencer couldn't have beaten you before."

"Ok…but how the hell is he supposed to kill me when his DNA is water based and mine is earth based?"

"Ever hear of tsunamis, dumbass?" Kai growled at Tala, annoyed that he was being so dense. Tala just bristled and began to chew Kai out like he would Bryan and Ian when they were having one of their I'm-going-to-so-fucking-kill-you fights.

Spencer sighed and walked out of the room. While those two were arguing like a bunch of old women he was going to work on getting his ass out of the predicament he had gotten it into. After all, he hadn't told them that he couldn't swim, especially since his plan of escape dealt with him using water to escape; ice cold water.

(Spencer's P.O.V.)

I sighed. In a matter of hours I would soon be able to escape. Kai would get to follow me out next. Tala had insisted on it when he had heard that Kai was going to stay there until he was able to escape. This had ensued in a major street fight between the two, which he had been forced to break apart before Kai got himself caught and Tala got himself another beating for just being his usual self. Again.

"Hey, Spencer, how ya doing?" A pitchy female voice questioned me from behind.

At first glance, anyone who would've seen me outside would've thought it better to leave me alone. I had the look of a pissed off grizzly bear on my face.

"What do you want Savannah?" I growled after a moment, knowing that if I didn't answer her she'd flip out on me.

"I want to give you a chance to escape. After all, that's what Ian and Bryan did isn't it?"

I blinked. "How did you…?"

"It's obvious Spencer. They're not here, so there's no way I couldn't tell they had escaped."

"And what do you get out of this?" I asked, naturally suspicious as Savannah never did anything for anyone without getting something back in return.

"Oh, just a promise that you'll come back later on with the others and get me and the rest of the Flaming Hearts out of Biovolt."

I gasped. "You want me to do what?"

Savannah glared. "Come back and get me and my teammates out of Biovolt after you have managed to escape and put Boris and Voltaire behind bars."

Horror rushed through me. How the fuck was I supposed to get her and her teammates out of here when I wasn't even sure I could get myself out.

"C'mon Spencer! You can do this; I know you can. Out of all of the beybladers here, you were the best at detecting escape routes. Even Kai couldn't out smart you when it came to stuff like that. And besides, you were going to try and use water as your escape route, weren't you?"

"How the fuck did you know that?!" I questioned horror at her knowing gripping me in its deadly embrace.

Well, considering I can see things that most people can't see and that you were looking at the water, I figured that was how you were going to escape."

I sighed. "You're right, but…"

"But you don't know how you're going to manage to get across the lake when the water is ice cold, am I right?"

I chuckled, amazed at her courage. "Yeah, that's about right."

"Well, maybe I can help you there."

"What?! Savannah are you crazy?"

"No, I just happen to know a way you can get across the water without freezing that's all."

I examined her face closely at that statement. She didn't seem to be lying, so I figured I could trust her. "Okay, then. What's your plan?"

Savannah smiled, giving me a feeling I may have just regretted asking that question. "Well, all you have to do is use your orca DNA completely and…" she trailed off, an eerie smile on her face.

"Something tells me I am not going to like this," I mumbled aloud before giving her the okay to explain further what she meant.

(Ian's P.O.V.)

"Wyborg, are you sure this is where we're supposed to meet Johnny and Cass?"

"Positive."

"Great," I grumbled, now quite irritated with the rain I had been standing in for twenty minutes while waiting for Johnny and Cass to arrive. They were late and I was beginning to get irritated.

"Don't worry, Ian, they'll show up. After all, Mr. Dickenson did say they'd had nothing to do for the last month and a half and most likely would be bored."

"Wyborg, you're not making things any better, do you know that?"

"Sorry, I was just…"

I laughed at him, cutting him off in mid-sentence. Wyborg could get so worked up over things sometimes.

"That wasn't funny Ian, and by the way, Johnny and Cass are approaching you from behind."

I whipped around to face my operation-rescue-Tala crew. They didn't look any happier than I was to be in the rain. Personally, I much rather snow, but then again I am from Russia, so that's really nothing new.

"Well, hello, Ian. It's been a long time hasn't it?" Johnny questioned calmly. He was dressed completely in black with his normal auburn hair dyed copper, and his lavender eyes were a strange emerald green. I'm not sure how he did it, but I thought he looked like he'd be hard to find now that his usual features had been hidden. Cass was her usual self, as since she wasn't a major league blader like Johnny was there was no reason for her to change her appearance.

"Hi, Ian, nice meeting you," Cass remarked with her usual enthusiasm. The last time I'd seen her she'd been in Italy working on solving a mystery with Enrique and Oliver that I'm pretty sure had something to do with stolen pillows, but I'm not entirely sure exactly why they were looking for stolen pillows.

"Hi," I answered her back after a moment.

"Ian, is there a way you propose for us to rescue your companions?" This came from Johnny who obviously wasn't in a good mood, which Cass decided to confirm after I gave a nod.

"Don't worry about him Ian. He just doesn't like being in the rain especially since he has a fire type bit beast. He's naturally affected by the rain and becomes weaker because of it."

"You just had to open your mouth didn't you?" Johnny said with a glare in Cass's direction. She glared back and for a minute I feared that I would have to break them apart if they decided to get into a fight. Luckily I didn't have to for they stopped glaring at each other and turned back to me.

"Well, let's go Ian! Mr. Dickenson already has a plane waiting for us at the airport," Johnny growled as he turned his back on me and Cass and started to lead the way to the airport. I however, was not as willing to do as he told me. I tossed a very strong gas bomb at him and got the pleasure of hitting him very hard in the back of the head, setting the gas bomb of with an explosive and a very nasty curse from Johnny. Cass just laughed then gagged as the smell became nearly unbearable.

"Ian!" Johnny roared. "You are so going to die for that!"

"Shit!" I cried before running directly for the airport. Cass just followed us, laughing the whole damn time at me trying to outrun Johnny forgetting that he was a partial samurai and that I was just an ordinary person.

"Ian, you may have just met your match when it comes to running," Wyborg teased as I worked frantically to get to the plane.

"Wyborg, shut up so I can think of how I'm going to keep him from killing me on the plane."

"Okay, if you say so."

"Oh, well," I thought. "At least I found some help. Hang on Tala! I'm coming for you!"

blitzkreig50889: Well, what do you think?

Tala: can I make a comment to Ian?

blitzkreig50889: make it quick.

Tala: okay. Ian, why did you have to make it sound as if I were a wimp and couldn't take care of myself?

Ian: sorry, I hadn't intended to do that. That's just how it came out.

Tala: ah…I see.

Ian: o.o I don't think I like the sound of that.

blitzkreig50889: Down, Tala, down.

Tala: I am NO dog!

blitzkreig50889: true, but your werewolf fangs just appeared when you were glaring at Ian, so I figured I'd tell you to let him alone.

Tala: okay.

blitkreig50889: anyway, hoped you liked the chapter. I'm sorry it took me so long to write it but Spencer's hard to write about. He doesn't really say anything for me to give him a good personality like I have the others. And the personality each of these guys has is completely made up. They don't act like this in the manga or anime. This is just how I see them.

Ian: at least you're willing to admit that.

blitzkreig50889: can it Ian.

Ian: yes ma'am.

blitzkreig508899: anyway, sorry about the wait for this chapter. I hope you liked it. Please, please, please review. I'd like at least two reviews for this chapter if at all possible before I put up the next one. Oh, and that one might take awhile to put up as I haven't written it yet. Anyway, I'm out of here and please review. I won't be updating for awhile due to change in environment (as in heading back home for the remainder of my summer instead of being in a college dorm) and of course like I said earlier, Spencer's hard to write about.

Tala: Yeah, so if you have any good ideas please let blitzkreig50889 know, right?

blitkreig50889: yep! Thanks by the way Tala for saying that.

Tala: no problem.

blitzkreig50889: Well, anyway, please review and I'll try to make sure everyone's here for the next chapter. After that there's about five chapters left before the sequel if this one does well enough for me to put it up.

Ian: So please review and see ya later people.

blitkreig50889: hey! I was supposed to say that!

Ian: yeah, I know, but you have a habit of being long-winded. I think the reader's would like to review now.

blitzkreig50889: oops! Sorry about that. I'll leave so you can review (leaves).

Tala: well, Ian, guess we're done for now.

Ian: yep. Let's go find someone to torture.

Tala: (Grins) that sounds like a good idea to me! (Both boys leave room to allow readers to review and prepare for the next chapter)
