So sorry for the late update. Well, maybe to you it might not be late but to me, it is. It's just that I've been hooked up on the show 'Yu-Gi-Oh' and I was catching up on some of the episodes so I didn't have to time to update so much.

Sorry but I must warn you, don't expect an update so soon. School will be starting soon and I will be quite busy. I'll probably only have time for updating during the weekends. Don't worry though; I will still at least try my best to check my email daily so if you want to PM me, go ahead. Just, don't expect a reply so soon.

Indigo Oblivion: The Blitzkrieg Boys aren't really good or bad. They're just doing job assignments that come their way. But they don't normally use their spy skills to help themselves.

Anyway, hope this chapter meets your expectations.

*Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade.

With Kai and Tala

"Alright, time to get into action," Kai said. Tala grinned and nodded.

Now, you might be wondering why Kai was acting so 'leaderly'. Well, in actual fact, whenever it was related to anything with them being spies, Kai was the leader. He was, although the youngest, the most experienced. His parents and grandfather had him specially trained to assassinate and spy like a pro. That was where he had gone after the Black Dranzer incident at the Abbey. Aside from being an excellent agent, he was also a master manipulator and a top interrogator.

Currently, the two said teens were in the room next to the one where the painting Comrades of Happiness was hanging in. They were waiting for the call Spencer and Bryan was suppose to put through. Speaking of the two…

With Spencer and Bryan

The two oldest Blitzkrieg Boys were in fact in the Museum's security centre. Bryan was on the lookout for any guards while Spencer hacked the main computer. Although a little hard to believe, Seaborg's wielder was actually the tech expert of the group. After capturing the current pictures on the security camera, he did some sort of computer wizardry and the monitors were only showing the pictures. So, in other words, he made the cameras freeze.

He nodded at Bryan who spoke into his earpiece, "Alright, Kai. We're done here. The plan's good to go."

"Excellent," came the reply.

Stage one had been completed. Time for stage two.

With Kai and Tala

Once Kai turned off the earpiece, he gave Tala a nod. Tala smirked as Kai looked around the room. Seeing no one, he quickly took out a very large match box and set the room on fire. Once it was done, he and Tala ran to the room with the painting. It was deserted. Kai kept look-out while Tala swiped the painting off its hook and hid it in his bag. Then, the two made a dash outside.

There weren't many people in the building which was why Kai decided to a fire. Exactly why he'd want to set it on fire, however, is the question you should be asking yourselves.

Kai ran out the building grinned to himself as he made a beeline for the museum entrance. Tala had gone the other way to hide the stolen painting. This is going to be fun, he thought.

The flames were growing at an abnormally fast rate, yet they weren't very harmful. Black fumes of smoke billowed like clouds of mushroom. You see, they were artificial flames, created by Kai when he was younger and had been experimenting in the lab of his mansion. He remembered mixing a few random chemicals together and accidently spilling it all over the floor, creating a fire. The fire had emitted smoke and was warm but not at all hot. That had been before his parents died and he had been placed in the Abbey.

Putting on a mask of utter terror, he rushed to a fireman who was trying to extinguish the flames. "Please, mister," Kai squeaked, putting his talent for mimicry to good use. Right now, he was basing his performance on the reaction Kenny would have the moment he sees Tala and Bryan. "M-my b-brothers a-a-are still in-inside the b-b-building! P-please HELP!"

The fireman bent down and patted him on the shoulder, "It's alright. We'll do our best to get them out. Don't worry." Then, he confidently ran into the building.

You might be wondering why Kai did that. Well, actually, Tala had run over to a window and tossed the picture out. Spencer, who was waiting under the window, easily caught the painting and placed it in a secret compartment of the car and drove off. Bryan was inside the museum waiting for Tala to make it to Kai first.

Tala then ran out to the waiting Kai. They pretended that they were so relieved to see that each other was still alive. They stood by one side, a fake look of anxiety on their faces, hoping that their 'brother' would 'make it'. They really had all the firemen fooled. While on the outside, tears seemingly swelled up in their eyes but they were laughing their guts out on the inside.

Bryan waited a while longer, not at all fearing the flickering flames that threatened to envelope him. He didn't know the flames were just like an illusion. And besides, even though fire wasn't his element, it was Kai's and Bryan was certain that no matter how much the guy wanted to scorch his butt into oblivion, the slate-haired teen wouldn't let the fire hurt Bryan. No, he had other methods of torture waiting for Bryan.

The smoke didn't really get to Bryan either. You might think that was due to all the harsh trainings Boris had given him, Tala, Kai and Spencer at the Abbey, right? Well, maybe, but it was most likely because of the oxygen mask he had over his face. A few minutes later, he figured his two friends had had enough fun and started running to the entrance, taking his oxygen mask off once reaching the doors.

Soon he was out and could see the 'relieved' looks his Kai and Tala were giving him. He pretended to stagger and collapse into Tala's arms. He heard their yells of 'Joey! Are you alright?' He mentally frowned. He thought told them he wanted his alias to be Barnett. He already protested against the name Joey. I mean, seriously. Joey? As in the young of a kangaroo? They were so dead after this.

He faked struggling to wake up and he heard the screech of car wheels and someone running towards them. Then he heard Spencer loud and over-exaggerated cry of "Joey! Wake up! You're safe now!" Under his breath, Spencer whispered to them, "The painting's been delivered to the hotel. Let's get out of here."

Although he didn't see it, he could imagine Tala pouting. He waited for a few more seconds before opening his eyes. He heard gasps of relief and he stood up, acting a little injured.

"I'm fine," he told them. Spencer ushered them to the car. Once they were seated inside, he stepped on the pedal and drove off.

Bryan turned to Kai and Tala and said angrily. "I thought I said my name was supposed to be –"

Spencer cut in. Although others only heard calmness in his voice, the Blitzkrieg Boys had been around the blond giant long enough to tell that he was not pleased. "What did you do for, Kai?"

Kai shrugged. "Come on!" he protested. "No one was really going to get hurt! The fire's fake."

Bryan coughed and spluttered in anger. "Fake? Why didn't you tell me that?"

Tala gave him a hard nudge in the ribs and cast the violet-haired Russian a glare, tilting his head towards Spencer. Bryan responded with a glare of his own that seem to say 'You're dead-meat'.

"Okay, but why did you do it, anyway?" Spencer asked.

"It's logical, isn't it? No one is ever going to suspect the 'Nelson brothers' of ever being involved in the fire or the heist. They'd think that the same person who stole the ridiculously, idiotically, moronically, stupid painting would be the same one who set the fire. By putting up that show, no one would think that anyone of us would light the flames because it would harm the other two 'brothers' in the building. So, if they didn't think we lit the fire, then they wouldn't think we stole the painting. Simple logic," Kai answered.

Tala placed his hand on his forehead, his brain trying to take that all in. Fifteen minutes later, he was still having trouble understanding that so-called 'simple' logic. And to think that Kai did all that thinking in less than two minutes.

But it was good of him to think about their aliases becoming suspects. It made the job a lot cleaner. Being a master strategist and an expert of logic, it was Kai who thought of how to blindfold the security cameras. Truth be told, Tala was pretty certain that neither him, Bryan nor Spencer would've ever bothered to try and erase their tracks.

In actual fact, Kai was the newest member on the team. He worked differently from the others. Before Kai joined the team, the other three had been arrested seven times already because of not caring enough to clean up all the evidence. And I suppose it does help, Tala mused, to have lots of money to your name. It was true. Both Kai's parents and his family from both sides were wealthy and influential people in the financial, political and espionage world. That meant that Kai would normally get off the hook when arrested. That's if he got arrested. But the thing is, he was just so good at covering his tracks that he had never been called to the police station. Not at least once. That was a record for any spy.

After a while, they reached the drop-off point which was a lake. The client's instructions had been clear, though not so conventional. Then again, we've already established that this guy's a weirdo, so, of course, it wouldn't be so normal. They slipped the painting into the water-proof case hidden in the hollow trunk of a nearby tree and tossed it into the lake.

Kai then picked up his phone and informed Adam that they were done with the assignment.

"So, where to now?" Spencer asked once Kai finished his report to Adam.

Kai shrugged. "Well, I think we should head over to the nearest airport – the Manchester Airport. We can get over to Russia and stay in one of my mansions in Moscow, since you guys," he hissed out the last two words, throwing all three of them a death-glare, "Completely destroyed the one in London."

The three whom he was glaring at shifted uncomfortably. Unknown to Spencer and Kai, the other two were guilty of something else…

Bryan and Tala looked at each other before saying, "Did you tell him?"

"No, I didn't, did you?" They asked again at the same time. They glanced at the dual-haired Russian glaring at them from the front seat and said, yet at the same time, "Should we tell?"

Kai growled, "Tell me what?"

Tala looked at Bryan, "If we tell, we're dead."

Bryan gulped at the murderously impatient 'if-you-don't-tell-me-I-shall-slip-poison-in-your-food-and-put-a-knife-through-your-heart' death-glare and answered, "If we don't tell, we're still dead."

Tala quivered at the expression on Kai's face. "I'll see you in the afterlife," he whispered to Bryan as he took a deep breath, hoping to be able to calm himself down before choking on said breath because he couldn't help but think of what Kai might do to the two of them if he found out.

"Kai…w-w-we…" Tala stuttered, only to have his mouth covered by Bryan.

"Don't stutter," he hissed at the captain. "Or it'll make him even madder." He turned to face Kai and open his own mouth. Unfortunately, his words were as much of a stutter as Tala's. "W-w-we…w-we…we…"

Tala shot the violet-haired blader a look that said 'yours-isn't-any-better'. Kai tapped his foot impatiently, forcing Bryan blurt out, "WeburntdownyourhouseinMoscow."

But it was everything Kai needed to hear to have the itching desire to reach for the dagger in his pocket and kill them all. "What?" he said in a soft tone. But it was not the type of soft like the gentle one. It was the soft as in the deadly, lethal 'you're-soon-going-to-die-and-wish-you-were-in-hell-once-I'm-through-with-you' type of soft that only Kai Hiwatari could pull off.

"We," Bryan tried to say again but his courage failed him at the last moment and he got tongue-tied.

"We burnt down your mansion in Moscow," Tala supplied him, instantly regretting it as Kai's I'm-going-to-kill-you gaze was switched from Bryan's direction to his.

"Okay," Kai said in his soft tone. "You not only wrecked my mansion in London, but you also burnt down the one in Moscow?" He paused as though trying to decide if two people could actually be stupid enough to do the things he said. Or maybe he was trying to remember why he had two idiotic morons as his teammates. Knowing Kai, it was probably both. He took a breath as though trying to quail his mounting rage. Apparently, it didn't work. "ARE YOU TWO CRAZY!" He screamed. Then he went on, "No, wait don't answer that. You two are the most moronic, idiotic, stupid, crazy, brainless, doltish, imbecilic, inane, ludicrous, mindless, nonsensical, obtuse, puerile, rash, senseless, stolid, stupefied, thick, thick-headed, unintelligent, unthinking, witless, barmy, batty, cracked, crazed, cuckoo, daft, delirious, demented, deranged, insane, lunatic, mad, maniacal, mental, moonstruck, nutty, mentally unsound, out of one's mind, psycho, round the bend, screw loose, unhinged…"

Tala, Bryan and Spencer (who was not included in the yelling and verbal abuse) jaws dropped and hit the ground with a loud 'thud'. Was Kai berating them or trying to drown them in a waterfall lager and more powerful than the Victoria Falls made of vocabulary words?

"…unzipped, wacky people ON THIS EARTH! Who am I kidding? You aren't even humans. No person would be as moronically insane as the TWO OF YOU!" Kai paused for a breath before continuing with his never-ending, dictionary-like rant. Soon, after the first three words, the three other occupants in the car were lost to a flood of words that spewed from the fourth's lips. Tala and Bryan gawked at the thirteen-year-old. What did his parents or those people that taught him how to be a spy do to him to make him able to use such large and powerful words? Kai wielded the English language like a lethal, deadly-sharp sword and his witty tongue soon had the three dumbfounded. They had known their friend was not an idiot, quite the opposite of that word, actually. Soon, Kai was yelling at them in Russian and even though it was their native tongue, they still were left in a daze. Even after he was done yelling at them, Kai was still glaring at them with his death-glare which was even worse than all the death-threats he had tossed at them previously, all the insults to their intelligence – if they even had some intelligence – and all the rants of them being mentally unsound put together.

Spencer cleared his throat nervously, "Alright, Kai, what should we do now?"

Kai, still glaring heatedly at the two teens in the backseat, said, "We could either head to my house in Sydney, Wales or Singapore. They're not as big as my mansions though I don't want any of them destroyed either."

Soon, Spencer stopped at a restaurant. The four ordered their dinner and Kai booked four plane tickets to Singapore and the quartet drove to the airport and got on the plane. Even then, Kai's anger did not simmer down resulting in Tala and Bryan spending the entire flight wide awake and on constant alert in case Kai tried to slip some form of nasty concoction into their drinks. Even when Kai dozed off, the two didn't even close their eyes to allow themselves a moment's rest.

Poor Tala and Bryan. But who asked them to burn down the oh-so-great Kai Hiwatari's house, anyway?

Ok, end of another chapter. And the longest so far, I think. Anyway, if anyone wants me to make the Blitzkrieg Boys do something, like steal something, please PM me. If you want the other blading teams to eventually find out about their other life, please say so. And finally, if you want the boys to go to one particular place or country, please tell me. I'm open for suggestions.

Now, why not be good little readers and review.

Thank you!
