Kai: We own nothing except for the basic concept of this story
Tala: hopefully one day in a weird time demension we'll own more...
Pain vs Hope
Kai's Pov
I groaned cracking open one ruby eye, trying to figure out my hazy surroundings...
"Christ Johnny was the chloroform really necessary?"Robert sighed at his team mates immaturity.
Johnny huffed "Oh come on Robert just when am I going to have another oportunity like that again?" Johnny smirked to himself his own personal revenge carried out, not the way he expected but hey when it comes to getting revenge on Kai Hiwatatri he couldnt afford to be to choosy.
"As fun as this may have been for you we're gonna have alot of explaining to do when he wakes up?" Whined Oliver already filled with dread at the image of an enraged Kai.
"I AM up..." I groaned my head still foggy.
Oliver let out a squeel and landed on Enrique, who caught him shaking his head.
"Remember the memo he probably still isnt acting like himself..."
Oliver blushed and quickly shuffled off him to own seat leaving a disgruntled Enrique in the process.
"Mind telling me about this poorly planned kidnapping?"I growled feeling a nasty headache coming on.
"Theres nothing wrong with this kidnapping HIWATARI!!! And it isnt even a kidnapping you should be grateful we're helping you!!! you arrogant self centered little Ba!!-"
Robert reached around one hand on the steering wheel and clamped his hand over the red heads mouth giving him a stern look.
"Well this wasnt the way we were supposed to meet but the Johnny was never very orthadoxed"
Johnny growled and turned around fully facing the front trying hard to hide his pout.
"Let me introduce us"Beamed Oliver enthusiastically, to the barely perceptible nod of one confused slate haired boy.
"We're the euro team from the first tour the Bladebreakers took im Oliver" He reached around and grabbed Enrique by the shoulders shoving the clearly flustered blonde in my face.
"This is Enrique" Said boy was looking very embarrased about being man handled but mumbled a small
"Hello..."
Then scarpered back to his seat while Oliver introduced yet another weirdo...
"This grumpy git here is Johnny If you havent remembered why he doesnt like you its because you whipped his ass in-"
"He did not it was a close match!!!" snarled Johnny
While I couldnt help but think about the ass whipping and trying my hardest to keep my flushing face under control, I nodded to the driver.
"And who's he?"
"Oh yeah sorry this is Robert he's our captain" Oliver did a mock salute.
"But without me we all know we'd die from starvation"
Enrique leaned over "He's a chef too"
"Oh..." Man these guys are confusing...
"sorry for the kidnapping but you know how it is... well maybe not now, but soon..."
"But why chloroform"I hissed still pretty pissed off about this.
"That was not intentional little Johnny's idea of a joke im afraid..."
I scowled at Johnny trying to remember a past scowl of mine I had seen, and he flinched a small smirk reach my lips.
"Dont expect me to apologise Ba-"
And Robert punched him in the head to silence him.
"Enough Johnny stop acting like a child"
Causing Oliver to giggle and Enrique to laugh loudly much to my horror clutching my ears as I tried to slide further away from the noisy pair before wondering how I could move away so much then realising I was in a mini van of sorts.
"Hey Kai!"
Oliver pushed a cup of steaming tea in my hands and two pills.
"That should help your headache some!" He winked at me then went back to talking to Enrique animatedly.
I looked at the pills in my hand and tried to stop my eye from twitching.
Flashback
"Kai!!! Faster you must reach the minium criteria pick up the pace!!!"
I panted harshly Ive been running over an hour and a half on this blasted treadmill and everytime they make it faster...
Picking up the pace I decided to show him speed, almost dripping in sweat I wiped out all my past records and beat all the Abbey's personal bests.
Eventually he turned the blasted thing off I stumbled from the machine ripping out the wires attatched to me, wiping my forehead with the back of my hand to stop my bangs from getting any limper, I smirked at Boris who seemed furious. It seems that punishing me was his favourite past time...
"Get here!!!" He grabbed me by the back of my neck and dragged me from the training room leaving a bunch of flabergasted fools behind him, I eventually found myself in one of the labs Boris demanding something from one of the scientists aggresively as always...
"I dont care if its barely been tested thats what this place is for!!! Now get me what I asked for!!!"He barked as the other man scurried to get him what he wanted.
I cocked my head to the side trying to listen for details but not even my hearing could penetrate due to the almost humming noise of business the lab was projecting.
Boris eventually strode up to me a small package grasped in one hand, and thrusted it out towards me.
"This is our new performance inhancing drug"
'I knew it...'
"It will help your performance time and your endurance..."
"Theres nothing wrong with either of those" I stated boldly knowing I would probably regret those words...
End of flashback
"Hey Kai watch it your gonna spill it on yourself!!"
My eyes widened as I felt a small burning sensation in my leg to see a few drops of tea burning through my trouser leg tilting my cup straight containg my uneaase in a slight shrug.
Robert swerved the Van sharply making me sway against the side bumping my shoulder making me grunt softly.
"I think its best we wait here till morning" the lilac boy told us making me frown.
'Kidnapped and we dont even have a destination?'
"Dont worry Kai Robert knows best when it comes to this sort of thing"Said Oliver reasuringly.
"This sort of thing?"
Oliver looked at me hard as if for the first time he realised I knew squat.
"Dont you know they're back Kai?" His eyes filling with... Fear?
"Obviously not..."
"Boris and Voltaire Kai..."Enrique whispered.
A lup caught in my throat making me speechless. 'The man of my past,My nightmares is back? Tala wasnt this over?'
"Dont worry wimps we have a contact on the inside so we've always got they're rough where abouts"Johnny pitched in arrogantly as if they were all over reacting.
"But they know where Tala is so we've had to move you as soon as possible" Robert said seriously.
"But we havent heard from him in almost 24 hours so its probably not safe to keep going till the suns up"
"If its really not that safe why couldnt we bring Tala Spencer and Bryan?" I inquired bitterly.
"They're being tracked Kai we all know they've been chipped.
"But if they have, shouldnt I be to?"
This time it was Robert who smirked we have already removed that months ago Kai"
I frowned at him 'Why does everyody know everything... and im always the one left in the dark..'
"Dont worry Kai soon we'll all put an end to this"
I looked at the green haired boy sceptically. ' If my past is anything to go by I sincerely doubt it...'
Max's Pov
"Well this has been the best result so far good work Max it looks like you father will pull through after all" the man chuckled as he left max to slide down the training room exausted.
I panted harshly soaked in sweat looking at the now trashed room with the lights on you could clearly see that the walls had once been white... now they were black and grey and even melted in someplaces my steel arm twitching I laughed as I pulled myself to my feet.
'I may not come out of this but at least I could help them'
I staggered untill I eventually reached my fathers room and approached him slowly.
"Hey dad..."
His eyes fluttered before looking dazedly up at me, the machines continuing its steady beeping.
"Maxie is that you?"
"Yeah its me..." I fell to my knees not longer able to stand.
"Ive got good news Ive found some people who can do your operation..."
His eyes drastically widened "But Maxie thats impossible..."
I grinned weakly "Not with modern technology Dad... they're replacing your damaged organs with... robtic ones, more or less"
His eyes filled with tears, it was painful to watch my father like this, it was obvious he'd given up.
"Max..."he whispered "I thought this was the end... I wish your mother was here to see this..."
"I know..." I clasped his hands in mine "I know..."
His eyes turned to me "Max whats with your hand?"
I quickly blinked me tears away "Oh just an arm guard thing... you know teenage stuff" I lied quickly. He chuckled "Teenagers..."
"Im sorry you'll have to leave, we have to prepare Mr Mizuhara for surgery..."
I nodded and stood up. "Dont worry dad it'll be fine" I kissed his hand that still desperately clasped mine "Good luck..."
And I left the room and the nurse closed the door behind me, looking down at my arm I smiled 'This is but a small sacrifice Id make for you Dad'
Walking down these corridors made everything seem darker, seem longer, but I know it wont be much longer, everything will play out eventually as foreboding as the future seemed at the moment, I still felt some hope shine in my heart.
'They'll find away they always do...' I pulled out my cell making what was to be maybe my last phone call if things kept going.
Ryu: yay long update!!!
Kai: please review we love them so...
Tala:Yep we hope you liked the chap and hope you stick with us!!!!
