Chapter 20: The power of through love

(Kais POV)

You can't sleep. You're back in Japan and it's been a few days since what happened in the abbey, but you just can't get it out of your mind. You remember the way Reiko's evil red eyes looked at you, and it hurts, nothing has ever hurt like the look she gave you.

Reiko, I never want to see you look at me like that again.

You're lying on your bed in a comfortable position. You're thinking about ways to get her back. Then you remember, Reiko's boss Charlie, he knows a lot about stuff like this, he can help. You fly out of bed and run to the others to tell them. Luckily Hilary has Reiko's phonebook and the number to Charlie's shop. You dial the number and wait for reply. It only takes a few rings before a man replies.

"MusicalFantasy, this is the owner Charlie, how can I help you?"

"Hi sir, it's Kai, Reiko's friend," you say into the phone.

"Oh yeah I remember you. Tell me, you don't know where Reiko is now a day's do you? She hasn't shown up at work and usually she always calls if she can't come?" the man asks.

"She's in trouble. That's why I called. Someone has done something to her, and I wonder if you might understand some of it. Last time I saw her she had gotten red, cat looking eyes, dark grey skin and sharp teeth," you quickly explain. Charlie's silent for a while then he speaks again.

"I'm afraid I don't know anything. But Reiko told me something about a book in the old library. The owner Professor Dreamfall knows everyone who walks in and out of that library. Maybe he can help you." You thank him and write down the address. You tell the others what he told you and decide to head for the library right away.

You enter the library to find no one's there.

"How are we suppose to ask about Reiko when the dude isn't even here," Tyson grunts.

"Maybe we can find him somewhere amongst all the book shelves," Hilary says. You all spread out in the library looking for someone who can help you. As you walk through the aisle you can't help but notice all the strange titles of the books.

Exactly what kind of library is this?

You ask yourself as a strange old man comes around a corner with his nose down in a book called: "Man eating plants and how to avoid getting eaten."
He's a little taller than you, has a long white beard that goes all the way down to his waist. He has almost no hair on his head and huge round glasses, and behind them is deep blue eyes. He has a lot of wrinkles, and must be around 90 or at least 80 years old.

"Em, excuse me," you hesitate. He looks up at you through his glasses.

"Oh hello there young man, I didn't notice you come in. How can I help you?" he asks.

"Are you Professor Dreamfall?" you ask.

"Yes, you heard of my great adventures?" he asks you expectantly.

"No. A friend of mine was here some months ago, her name is Reiko. I just wondered what books she came for." The old man smiles secretively.

"Oh yes I remember her. It took her days to find what she was looking for." He closes the book, turns around and starts walking off.

"Come, come I'll show you the book where she found her answers." You silently follow the strange old man to dusty old bookshelves, but you can see that someone was searching through them not to long ago. The old man goes up a little ladder and comes down again with a really old looking book.

"She found her answers in here, maybe you too will find yours." He puts the book down on a little table then disappears between the shelves again. You look at the book. Then walk over and open it. You're surprised of the content of the book, it's just legends and stories. But you've learned in the last years that even the wildest things can be real. Then you flip another page and you find it. On top of the page with curly old letters stands, "The legend of the cursed batpanter". As you start reading you know this is the right thing. You read all that stands out, but it's the picture on the side that tells you what you need. With old faded letters around a picture that looks like a half human, half demon, like Reiko, it stands:

To keep the curse inside, to hide the beats within. Let the evil out and pure evil will fill the world and blood will be spilled. When realized, only one thing can seal the evil once more. The power of pure love.

You write down the words and put the book back. When you return to the entrance you see the professor talking to the others, they seem frustrated.

"Why can't you just answer us probably?!" Tyson shouts at him.

"My boy, sometimes riddles can be the answer you seek," the professor answers wisely.

"Riddles, we don't need riddles old guy, we need answers to find our friend," Daichi jumps on him and is about to shake him when you stop him.

"Leave him be Daichi, we have what we came for let's go."

You look at the professor and he sends you a secretive smile. You give him a little smile back as you walk out the door with the others looking confused, but still following you none the less.

(Boris POV)

As you see them come out of the old library you smirk.

"They honestly think they'll find anything in there?! They're going to see that nothing can defeat pure evil." You glance over at Reiko, who's kneeling next to you. Her red eyes follow the people walking away from the library.

"You want them my dear?" you ask her. An evil grin comes over her lips as you speak. You join her grinning.

"Soon my dear, soon you'll have blood again." With that you go back to the secret hide out to plan your final destructive attack on the world's best bladers.

(Bladebreakers POV)

It's starting to get dark and still you haven't figured out what to do. The riddle from the old book is simple enough, but how can you give Reiko pure love? You're all quiet as you sit there thinking of a solution. Then suddenly Kai gets up on his feet,

"Someone is watching us." He's staring out a window. As the rest of you also turn to see, a shadow suddenly moves outside in the garden. You all get on your feet and run outside, just in time to see the shadow disappear over the wall. You quickly run after it all the way to the park. But when you get there, you lose the shadow out of sight.

"Damn he got away!" Rick says.

"What did that guy want anyway?" Lee questions.

"Well I believe it was a trick to get us here so they can destroy us," Kenny states. He points to something a little ahead. All of you turn to see who it is. And there, only a few meters away from you, is Boris, Reiko and a few other men in white coats with strange devices.

"It's Reiko!" Hilary gasps.

"And Boris," Tala sneers.

(Kais POV)

As you see Reiko standing there, still with the dark skin and evil eyes, the anger boils up inside of you. You have had enough of seeing Reiko like this and Boris controlling her like some kind of machine. You squeeze your fists so tight your fingernails almost draw blood.

"I must say, you were easy to lure here," Boris says. He grins evilly and Reiko growls at you.

"Boris stop this and let Reiko go!" Tyson shouts.

"Haha I already told you, this is the real Reiko." She sneers at you again. You've had enough. In one fast move you have your blade ready. Reiko make hers ready and before anyone can say anything you launch you blades, and the match begins. You have no idea how to do this, but you can no longer just stand there and watch. As your blades hit each other a wave of power hits you. You stand your ground and go in for a new attack. Reiko smirks so her sharp canine teeth show. Your blades slam together again. Reiko's powerful attack pushes Dranzer back.

This isn't good, she's so powerful.

You groan and once again stand your ground. Your head is spinning around as you try to figure out what to do.

Only one thing can seal the evil once more. The power of pure love.

The words from the old book were so simple, and yet so difficult. Now Reiko is slamming on Dranzer with a lot of power and speed. Every hit she gives Dranzer hurts you as well.

"Reiko stop, this isn't you!" you shout at her. She just keeps on mumbling strange words. You look pleadingly at her, seeing her like this really hurts. Then Reiko's blade goes in for a final attack out of pure power. You know if it hits, Dranzer will be destroyed and her blade will go right through your chest. Your eyes widen.

I'll never be able to see her again. Hear her voice. Feel her soft skin. Look into her eyes. I can't let that happen, ever.

"REIKO!!"

You scream her name as she's about to hit you and lightning tears across the sky. But the hit never comes. Reiko's blade has frozen only inches from yours. You look at her and see her flinch and her eyes seem greener again. For a moment they're shifting between her original green and the evil red once, then she grabs her head and screams in pain. She falls down on her knees still screaming and her blade starts wobbling.

"What! What's she doing?!" Boris questions his men.

"We don't know sir something is disturbing the signals." Boris looks at the screaming Reiko, with frustration on his face. You don't hesitate for long. You knock out her blade, making it stop spinning. As you do she stops screaming. She looks up at you with blood shot eyes. She gets slowly and shakily to her feet and picks up her blade.

"Reiko?" you say hopefully. She looks at you for a moment, before turning around and walking back to Boris, making you stare at her in shock. He glares at her as she returns to his side.

"What was that?!" he sneers. She doesn't say anything, but just stands there with her head down. You can't believe it. You thought you finally managed to get her back. You just stand there staring at her back while the pain and sorrow grows inside of you.

(Your POV)

The darkness is all around you......

You hear mumbling voices but don't understand what they're saying.....

You hear someone mumble your name, you try to go towards the voice. It gets more and more clear then suddenly someone screams your name and you recognize the voice right away.

KAI! The darkness flies away, clearing your sight. Then everything starts to hurt. But you want to go to him, you want to see him. Then the darkness is all gone and you're again back in your own body. You're on the ground in a park or something. You look up and see Kai. You want to run up to him and hug him. But you can't, not yet, there's something you need to do first. You remember now, like you never really were in darkness you remember all that happened. You pick up the blade Boris has given you.

"Reiko?" His voice is hopeful, and you can't help looking at him. It's hard when you, like nothing, turn around and walk back to Boris. You make sure he doesn't see your eyes, because you know they're back to their green colour. And you see that your skin is slowly going back to the milk white you know.

"What was that?!" Boris sneers at you. You don't answer, you just hope you'll go back to the abbey.

"We'll take care of you later!" he growls at Kai and the others before turning and walk away. You silently follow.

You're back in Russia and the abbey. After your loss Boris was hard on you, and the wounds he gave you burn like hell. But now you just need to find something then you're going back to the others. You sneak through the hallways looking for you original blade. The blade Boris has given you is in your pocket. The plan is to switch that blade with your own. As you walk you feel the cold steel from the knives on the beyblade in your pocket. Some guards come walking down the hallway, you just act normal, and they don't seem to mind, in fact they seem scared. As you turn the corner you walk faster. Time is running out, you want to get out of here and back to your friends. You come to another door. Everything is quiet. You try it, but it's locked.

It must be in here, you think and pull out a hairclip and start to pick the lock. It doesn't take you long to open it, and as soon you do you hurry inside and close the door behind you. The room is dark, except a little glass box in the middle of the room. Inside the box is the dark purple blade you made with your friend's help. Slowly you walk up to it and examine it. You know there's an alarm on it. From the moment you touch the glass it will go off and the guards will be here in a few minutes. You take a deep breath. You're getting out of here, now, but not without your blade. You put your fingers on the glass and pull the box away. Quickly you switch the blades and put the glass back on. You hurry out of the room and walk away, when you turn the corner you hear the guards run into the room.

Phew, that was too close. Now, time to leave this shit-hole.

You walk fast but don't dare to run in case you meet someone, it will be too obvious that it was you. You walk up some stairs and come out on the ground floor. Through the windows you can see the gates and your freedom. You keep your eyes on the gate as you walk, but you walk into someone. Surprised you look shocked at the person in front of you. It's Boris.

(Kai's POV)

Once again you're back in Russia. After seeing Reiko's green eyes again you know you can get her back. You managed to sneak into the abbey again, alone this time. You're on the ground floor trying to find out how to get to Reiko.

"Kai you can't be serious," Tyson stares shocked at you.

"Why not? I saw her green eyes Tyson, I know I can get her back. But she will want her own blade back as well!" you argue.

"Going back there without a plan is crazy Kai. The abbey is even worse than it used to be," Tala says.

"I don't care. I'm getting her back. NOW!"

With that you storm off to your room and soon you're on a plane to Russia.

The others may not be with you this time, but that made it easier to get in. You quickly move through the hallways when you hear a scream of pain coming from around the next corner. Fear grows inside of you, that scream belongs to Reiko. Without thinking you run towards the voices, as you turn the corner you see Reiko on the floor and Boris standing over her ready to hit her. The fear is replaced with pure anger when you see the blood on Reiko's lips. Boris makes ready to hit her again and as he does, you move in front of her and grab his arm.

"Don't even think about it Boris!" Hatred drips from every word as you glare at him. The surprise in his eyes is quickly replaced with an evil grin.

"Kai, how great of you to join us." With those words he slams his knee in your stomach, taking the breath out of you. Then he hits you hard in the neck making you fall to the ground, with your head spinning.

"Kai!" Reiko shouts. You feel her soft hands touch your skin, and almost immediately the strength flows back to you. You look at her to see her gorgeous green eyes looking worried back. A sight of relief escapes your lips.

She's back. I really released her when I beat her, you think.

"How sweet, a reunion of the pathetic friends." You both quickly turn your gaze to Boris, both glaring at him.

"You honestly believe you'll leave here alive? If you don't work for me, then you won't be allowed to live at all!" You sneer at him,

"Don't even dare to touch her Boris." He laughs evilly,

"This is your end!" He raises his hand and makes ready to hit you again.
