The Unpredictable Battlefield
Chapter 13 – Tala's story.
Come on Kenny~
The red-haired Russian was sat in the hotel bedroom with the laptop balanced on his lap. It was the only light source in the standard room as Tala didn't want to get distracted by his surroundings.
He knew he had a very important Beyblade match to practise for tomorrow, but Tala couldn't centre his attention on that fact right now. The Blitzkrieg leader had too many questions about what was going on in the Beyblade industry.
Who is this Russian boy Calvin? And who is hosting this tournament? Why is the media so focused on Kai and Calvin's relationship? How come Tyson and Kai didn't get to face one another?
Nothing added up.
He rested his head back against the bed's headboard and huffed. Time wasn't on his side today. Tala had waited all day for this response to come through; he didn't even move from the bedroom and he repeatedly told Bryan to 'piss off and leave him alone.'
Except by now he was starting to regret it~
But just the Worlborg wielder was to close his eyelids and give into the early hours of the morning, a sound appeared from his laptop – an email appearing within his AOL account.
A sense of relief spiralled down Tala's broad figure and he rushed to open the response from Kenny. Yet just as he pushed his finger onto the right left side of the mouse, his computer began to freeze up.
"What the fuck?" He gasped and leaned closer to the screen.
Seconds later – the laptop unfroze and plenty of disgusting pop-ups appeared. Some were so vile that Tala just smashed his mouse onto the mat.
Child pornography?
Someone clearly wants Tala out of the picture.
By now his breathing rate was going through the roof and his ice blue eyes were beginning to burn. Tala picked up his laptop and threw it to the other side of the hotel bedroom to destroy it. He couldn't take anymore.
Not only did whoever was behind all this know that Tala and Kenny were on their trail, but they were keen to destroy the pair of them.
The sound of the gadget smashing up caught the attention of his fellow team members as Bryan and Spencer rushed into Tala's bedroom. Each one of them was standing there with a concerned expression written all over their pale faces.
"What happened Tala?" Spencer asked, armed with a kitchen knife in his left hand.
"They know." Tala mumbled and slowly removed his hands from his face to reveal his insecure gesture. "And we are in danger."
Walking around the dome with the thought of his team members sitting in the crowd, the red-haired Russian couldn't stop scanning his ice blue predator eyes around the scenery. Nothing went unnoticed by his sharp gaze as he had been trained to acknowledge every single detail of the environment he was endangered within.
But once he was convinced that nobody was on his tail, Tala slipped into the bathroom and decided that it was finally safe enough to take a leak. He circled his head and relaxed his muscles when he registered that the room was quiet. All the cubicles were free, but the far end one and even that had a sign stating – 'out of order' amongst it.
He took a deep breath and walked over to the bathroom mirrors to gaze amongst his reflection. It was obvious that he was uneasy and tired.
"Pfft, that's nothing new is it Tala?" He muttered to himself.
Tala reached his hand under his white t-shirt and scratched area of flesh that the bullet proof vest was irritating. Yet just as he was about to turn his attention to his mobile phone in his pockets, a sharp and breath-taking throb appeared in the back of Tala's skull.
His view instantly blanked out and the Russian collapsed onto the floor like a rag doll. He was unconscious.
The culprit then dragged the innocent Worlborg wielder into the 'out of order' toilet cubical and tossed the weapon down beside the body. The weapon was a crowbar that clearly had been hidden within the domes large premises.
"I know you're not listening to me," I muttered with a hint of disappointment hollowing in my voice. "But please don't do anything stupid. Calvin is a decent guy."
Still, Kai had his back to me as he checked over his Dranzer Beyblade.
You'd think he'd be more human since it was just us two in the locker room, but obviously not. Kai was in his 'leave me alone' mood. And that was a mood which even I felt uneasy about sometimes.
One minute he's silent and distant, the next minute he will just pound you in the face. Usually, he will be merciful and say something really nasty which can make you cry in a corner for a few minutes.
But once he is over this, hopefully, everything will be back to normal, right? Everyone can be best buddies again like we should be.
He slammed his locker closed and turned around to face me with such a fiery glare in his crimson eyes. "Kai, please, you can't hurt him. I don't know first aid and Kenny isn't here." I added, hoping it would lighten the mood just a 'little bit.'
But instead, he did what he always did.
He gave me a worthless 'hun' and walked out the room to make his way towards the Beyblade dish. Jeez, from the back he really looked like an emotionless soldier who was ready to die. But on the front view, he was a proud warrior ready to destroy anyone who stood in his way.
Calvin…
I had to hold back the urge to run after Kai and grab him, but this was something that I had no control over. All I could do now was sit in the crowd beside my teammates and watch the dreadful event take place.
Oh how my chest would hurt when I would think of how bad Kai could really scold Calvin with Dranzer's feisty flames. If things get too far, I know I am going to have to interrupt and shut Kai down.
But that's not going to be easy.
A/N: I'm sorry for the wait for the update guys – I have been so busy in terms of finishing university projects and dealing with personal issues. I tried to update this story sooner, but my head was so clouded that the words just wasn't making sense when I wrote the ideas on paper. In the end, I have forced myself to sit in a cold room until I have finished this chapter xD. But anyways, I hope you enjoyed the piece and let us know what you think! – Little A Granger.
