Chapter
02: Ordinary World

~ Kai ~

�� Are you certain you ought to go in
there, Master Kai?� This place��

�� Kai tugged on his blading gloves and
glanced at his servant.� �Yes,
Gregory.� I�m sure.� It�s not like I�m going in there alone, after
all.�� He looked over his shoulder at the
small army of police behind him.� �This
is the last piece of business that I have to take care of before I can truly
look forward to my future.� I am shutting
this hell down and putting Boris behind bars where he belongs.�

�� The old man sighed.� �Yes, sir.� I must admit that I agree with you
there.� But please, be careful.�

�� Always.�� Kai reassured him.� �I have Dranzer.� And you know she would never let anything
happen to me.�� The crimson-eyed teen
walked up to the gates of the Abbey, a cold, hard expression taking over his
features.� The police had gathered too,
and had surrounded the entire complex.

�� The captain of the police force
walked up to Kai and stopped next to him.�
�We�re all set, Hiwatari.� You�re sure that he�s in there?�

�� Kai nodded shortly.� �I have a reliable source.� He�ll be in the lower levels about now,
watching his elite bladers run through their practice
drills.� Remember, you and your people
handle the upper levels.�� He pulled
Dranzer from his pocket and the blade glowed red for a moment before he set it
to his launcher.� �Leave
Boris and the Demolition Boys to me.�

�� It�s your party, kid.�� The captain shrugged.

�� Kai looked up and grabbed onto the
gates, swiftly climbing up and over them to land like a cat on the ground on
the other side.� Working quickly, he
unlocked the gates and pushed them open.

�� Welcome to hell, captain.�� The teen drawled with a humourless
smile.� �Let�s go.�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

�� Fifteen minutes later, Kai was
standing in front of the doors that led to the walkway above the largest beydish in the entire facility.� It was also the one in the lowest levels of
the Abbey, where the Demolition Boys had their drills and practice matches.

�� Kai took a deep breath, grasping his
launcher firmly in one hand as he tried to calm himself down.� His memories of this place had never been
good ones, and he didn�t want to go back in there.� But he really had no choice.

�� Facing his fears was something he�d
been taught once by a midnight blue-eyed boy named Tyson.� And Kai would never be able to face the World
Champion again if he didn�t do this.

�� Steeling himself and pulling his
mask of indifference and cold anger on once more, the dual-haired blader raised
a leg and kicked in the double doors.

�� He strode into the giant room,
launcher and blade at the ready and aimed directly at the man who had
controlled not only Kai�s existence but that of all the children of the Abbey.

�� You!�� Boris growled in fury at the sight of
Kai.� �What are you doing in my Abbey?!�

�� Correction, Boris.�� Kai replied in an empty voice.� �The Abbey belongs to me now.� And I�ve decided
this pit of hell has long since needed to be shut down.�

�� Boris smirked and crossed his arms
over his chest.� �Is that so?� And what does your Grandfather think of
this?� He will be furious with you for
this, Kai.�

�� Now Kai smiled, crimson eyes burning
with intensity.� �Tsk,
tsk, Boris.�
One would think you�d keep up with your employer.� Oh wait!�
That would be me now.�

�� The older man frowned, beginning to
look just a little worried.� �Speak plainly,
boy!� You make no sense.�

�� Let me speak slowly so you can understand, old man.�
Voltaire Hiwatari is dead.� And since the old fool was so full of himself and believed he�d live forever, he never changed his
will.�� Kai gave Boris a very satisfied, smug
look.� �Understand now?� Everything Voltaire once owned belongs to me
now.�� He put on a thoughtful look,
enjoying the look of shock, disbelief, and sudden fear on Boris� face.� �I guess that makes you my employee, doesn�t
it?� Well, in that case�Boris Balkov, you are so
fired.� And just to rub more salt into
the wound, for all the pain and suffering you�ve caused me, my team, the children of this forsaken place, and everyone else whom
you have harmed��

�� You dare challenge me, you stupid
child?!�

�� I don�t have to.� Rot in jail, Boris.� Because when they�re done listing your
crimes, you will be tossed into a cell and the key thrown away.�� Kai glanced over the Abbey master�s
shoulder.� �He�s all yours, Captain.�

�� Why thank you, Hiwatari.�� The police captain came up behind Boris with
two other burly officers, grabbing him and cuffing him quickly.� �Take him up to the surface, men, and get him
behind bars as fast as you can.�

�� The two officers led a cursing,
enraged Boris away, and Kai lowered his launcher, a vague sense of relief
washing over him.

�� I think we�ve accomplished what we
came to do.�� The captain declared,
looking around.� �We�ve cleared out the
upper levels, and the place is empty now.�
What�s this place for, anyway?�

�� Kai shook his head. ��Not quite finished.�� He murmured.�
He walked over to the railing of the wide walkway and looked down at the
beydish.� Four
teens stood around the edge, staring back up at him silently and without
expression.� The police captain looked
down also and blinked in surprise.

�� Uh�wow.� I didn�t even know they were there.� Who are they?�

�� Kai ignored the man and gave the
four teens a nod of greeting, focusing on the redhead.� �Tala.�

�� The Demolition Boys� captain nodded
back, folding his arms over his chest.� �Hiwatari.�

�� I�ll meet you boys up top.�� Kai turned, leading the way out the
doors.� The police captain hurried after
him.

�� Excuse me, but what about those
kids?�

�� They aren�t a problem you need to
worry about, Captain.� They are my
responsibility.�� Kai said nothing more.

�� The man studied him dubiously, but
shrugged.� �If you say
so.�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

�� Kai waited at the Abbey gates,
Gregory at his side.� The Demolition Boys
appeared not long after Kai arrived, and joined him silently.

�� I was beginning to wonder what was
taking you so long, Kai.�� Tala said,
ice-blue eyes glinting.� �About time you
showed.�

�� You mean you knew about all
this?�� Ian exclaimed, staring at his
captain in shock.� �And you didn�t tell
us?�

�� He couldn�t, shrimp.�� Bryan
gave the shorter blader a small cuff to the head.� �If too many people found out, then Boris
would have gotten wind of it and gone into hiding.� We�d never have our freedom.�

�� Did you know?�� Spencer demanded.

�� No.�
Only that Tala had some sort of plan to get us free of the Abbey.�

�� It doesn�t matter any longer.�� Tala snapped, shushing them.� He looked back to Kai, meeting his gaze
solidly for a moment.� �So it worked.� Now what?�
We have no where to go, Hiwatari.�

�� That remains to be seen.�� Kai held out his hand and Gregory placed four
manila envelopes on his palm.� �Thank
you, Gregory.�� He looked back to the
four bladers.�
�On behalf of the BBA, I have the honour of giving you four bladers of the Demolition Boys a second chance.� Should you accept these envelopes, your pasts
will be forgotten, and you will have the opportunity to use your skills and
abilities to become useful members of society.�

�� Tala�s
eyes narrowed.� �And what�s in those
envelopes?�

�� Scholarships.� To a new university.�� Kai met Tala�s gaze
and let the red-haired Russian see what he�d let very few see in him � his
emotions.� The dual-haired phoenix
continued earnestly.� �It�s an education,
Tala.� A real one, with
normal people who don�t have evil ambitions of taking over the world or enslaving
our bit-beasts.� It�s a chance to
do what you want with your lives � to live them as you choose.�

�� Tala sighed and closed his eyes for
a moment.� When he opened them, he gave
the other teen a small smile, amused at his earnestness.� �So you are human.� We wondered about that.�

�� Kai scowled at him and his face went
carefully blank.� �This is not about me.�

�� Oh relax.� Tell me, Kai, what�s the catch with these
scholarships?�

�� No catch.� It�s an acknowledgement of your skills.�� Kai�s mouth turned up in a half-smile.� �Mr. Dickenson believes in second chances and
accepting one�s responsibilities.�

�� Hmm�we will have to think about
this.�� Tala finally said.

�� Kai nodded.� �Of course.� You�re welcome to stay with me until you�ve
made your decisions.� I have plenty of
room.�

�� Fine.� We�d have managed on our own, but we�re not
above accepting your hospitality, Hiwatari.�� Tala accepted on his team�s behalf.

�� Good.� Gregory will see to you.� I have one last thing to do.�� Kai gave the envelopes back to Gregory and
walked back through the Abbey gates.

�� What are you going to do?�� Tala asked, following him.� �Kai?�

�� The fiery teen raised his launcher,
taking up a launching stance ad feeling a sort of healing calm flood his mind
and body.� �Stay back, Tala.�

�� What are you�?�� The redhead�s eyes widened, a jolt of
realization hitting him as Kai prepared to launch.� �Oh�shit.�

�� Let it rip!�� Kai launched his blade directly at the
Abbey�s front doors.� �Dranzer!� It�s finally time to bury the past!�� Extending his arms in front of himself, arms
crossed and palms facing the Abbey, Kai dug deep for his beypowers.� �Dranzer�Blazing Gig Tempest!!�

�� There was a flash of pure red light
and then an explosion that made Tala and the others yelp and duck, arms
covering their heads for protection from flying debris.

�� Kai lowered his arms and raised his
face to the mid-afternoon sun, closing his eyes and basking in the heat
radiating from that heavenly body and the raging inferno he�d created from the
empty facility of the Abbey.

�� It�s finally over.� Thank you, Dranzer.�� He said to the air and raised a hand to catch
his blade as it returned to him, surprisingly undamaged.

�� Tala slowly came out from under his
arms, looking around cautiously.� �Holy shit!� What was that?!�

�� Kai, feeling incredibly at peace
now, turned and walked toward the car.�
�It�s over, Tala.� Let�s leave the
past behind.�

�� The redhead took a last glance at
the burning building, then turned and followed the phoenix in silence, his team
hurrying after them in reluctant awe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

�� Two days later, the Demolition Boys
gathered in Kai�s study, lined up in front of the crimson-eyed blader as he sat
at his desk.

�� We�ve made our decisions,
Kai.�� Tala informed him, looking down
the line at the other bladers.

�� I see.� And what have you decided?�� Kai set aside his book and leaned back in his
chair, observing them steadily.

�� We have a question first.�� Bryan
spoke up.� Ian was fidgeting and Spencer
seemed nervous for some reason.� �If we
were to turn down the scholarship, what would happen to us?�

�� That depends.� Hypothetically, why would you turn down the
scholarships?�

�� I�ve never been to school
before.�� Ian admitted, still fidgeting
restlessly.� Spencer nodded in agreement.

�� Neither have I.� The shrimp and I have been in the Abbey since
we were barely able to walk.�� The tall
Russian said.

�� They aren�t prepared to function in
society, yet.�� Bryan explained, glancing at Tala.� �Neither am I, truthfully.� But we still have skills that would be wasted.� We would rather be put to work and be useful
somehow � without being a risk to others, if you know what I mean.�

�� Yes, Bryan.� I do.�
Actually, I had thought that you would say something like that when Mr.
Dickenson came to see me and discuss your futures.�� Kai smiled slightly, folding his hands in
front of himself on the desk�s writing surface.�
�We do have another option for you, but only if the reason you don�t
want the scholarships is not because you�re planning on running off and
becoming career criminals.�

�� We�ve done�not-so-legal things in
the past, Hiwatari, but we�re not that bad!�� Ian protested.� Kai held up a hand.

�� I know, Ian.� Relax.�
Here�s the deal: if you don�t want the scholarship, then you can come to
work for the BBA.� They need trainers
with real skill, and they also need bladers to test
new equipment � launchers, blades, etc.�
There are other positions, too, if neither of those suit
you.� They also need tech-people, judges
and officials for competitions and tournaments�let�s just say there are plenty
of ways for you to make yourselves useful and not let your skills go to waste.�

�� Paying jobs?�� Spencer asked, mildly shocked.� �The BBA would just take us in, no questions
asked?� Are they stupid?�

�� Oh hell no.� Of course not.�� Kai gave a short laugh.� �You�d start on probation, just like everyone
else does.� But you�d also be hired on my recommendation.�� He gave them all a level, hard stare.� �And my
catch is that if that�s the route you choose, then you�d better not make me regret
putting my faith in you, because if you misstep even once, I will make sure you
regret it.�

�� We understand that, Hiwatari.� You don�t
need to make threats to get your point across.��
Bryan
sighed.� �I suppose they�ll want us to
undergo some sort of psych therapy?�

�� Yes.� But on that, Bryan, you�ll just have to trust me when I
tell you that it can only benefit you in the end.� Boris put us all through a lot of mind
games.� It may take a while for some of
you to work through all that programming and mind controlling, but it�ll
happen.�� Kai looked at each of them in
turn.� �So what have you decided, then?�

�� Bryan, Spencer, and Ian will not
take the scholarships, Kai.�� Tala said,
speaking for them.� �I will.�

�� Bryan stared at him.� �Captain?�

�� You three will take the BBA�s offer of a job, Bryan.� And you will submit to whatever psychiatric
testing and therapy they ask you to undergo.��
Tala faced his team, trying to be the leader they�d always looked to.� �Ian and Spencer�you were true children of the
Abbey.� You knew no other way to live
then that and what you were trained for.�
Working at the BBA will let you see what real life can be, and when
you�re ready, maybe someday the BBA will offer you that scholarship
again.�� Tala turned to Bryan and stared at him sadly.� �As for you, old friend, you need the kind of
help I can�t give, no matter how hard I would try.� We all had to deal with Boris� mind games and
brain-washing, and Boris may have messed with me physically � what with all my
cybernetic implants and all � but you�you he messed with mentally, Bryan.� And though we in this room would understand
best what you�ve gone through and what was done�we aren�t the ones who can help
you find your emotions again.�

�� Bryan blinked impassively.� �But�what about you, Tala?�

�� You�re just going to leave
us?�� Ian, the youngest of them all,
clung to Spencer�s leg, fear in his eyes.�
�You�re our captain, Tala.� Who�s
going to lead us?�

�� Tala shook his head.� �That�s what I�m trying to get at.� You don�t need
me, Ian.� I�m telling you to take the BBA
jobs because I want you to have the opportunity to learn that for
yourselves.� Besides, it�s not like I
wouldn�t be keeping an eye on you while I�m gone.�

�� Do we at least get to keep our
sacred spirits?�� Spencer asked, looking
at Kai.� The phoenix nodded.

�� Of course.�

�� Alright.� So what next?�� Tala inquired, turning back to Kai.

�� I call Mr. Dickenson, and we make
arrangements for Bryan, Spencer, and Ian.�
As for you, Tala, you can stay here with me until we leave for Canada,
or I can have Mr. Dickenson find somewhere else for you to live � a sort of
foster home � that you can go to in between school years.�

�� Tala made a face.� �I really don�t think so, Hiwatari.� You, I can put up with.� Some strangers�not a very good
idea.�

�� Fine.� Consider my home your own, then.�� Kai shrugged.�
�Just no wild parties or crazy sex orgies, got it?�

�� What kind of person do you think I
am?!�� Tala growled indignantly.� Kai chuckled and waved a hand at him.

�� Oh relax.� It was a joke.�� Kai picked up the phone and flipped open an
address book to look for the BBA CEO�s private
number.� �I�ll call Mr. D and get
everything worked out, guys.� Leave the
details to me.�

�� I want in on the conversation,
too.�� Tala stated decisively, sitting
down in another chair across the desk from Kai and looking very much like he
wasn�t going to budge.

�� Hn.�
Whatever.�� Kai didn�t really have
a complaint with that.� Tala was their
captain after all, and Kai would do the same with his own team.� I think
you�d be proud, Tyson.� He thought,
dialling the number. �I�m trying to be someone worthy of you.� I just hope it�s enough, someday�

~ Max ~

�� Dad!� We have to go!� I�m going to miss my flight!�

�� Are you sure you have everything
you need?�� Mr. Mizuhara
asked for what Max was sure must have been the fiftieth time that day.

�� Yes, Dad!� I�m sure.�
Now, can we please go?� Mom�s
already out in the car waiting for us!�

�� Okay, okay!� Go!�

�� The blonde teen grabbed his carry-on
bag and ran out the door for the car, his father following along behind after
locking the house up.

�� Oh, man, Mom!� It�s going to be so great to see everyone
again!� Kenny emailed me last week and
said that he and Hilary, and Tyson, and Rei all got scholarships, too!�� He bubbled excitedly as he got in the
car.� His mother smiled and nodded at him
in the rear-view mirror.

�� That�s wonderful, Maxie.� And you�ll
have the All-Starz there, too.� It will be quite a reunion, won�t it?�

�� Yeah!� It�s going to be a good year.� I can feel it.�

�� Max, still grinning to himself, stared out the car window as they drove toward the
airport, getting lost in his own thoughts.

�� Before he knew it, they�d arrived,
and Max got out to collect his luggage and go collect his ticket for his flight
north to Canada.

�� Inside, he met up with the All-Starz and said his final farewells to his parents before
walking with the American team to their departure gate.� The five teens boarded the plane, found their
seats, and settled in.

�� So, Max, are you ready for
University?� It�s nothing like high
school, you know.�� Michael asked.� He was sitting on Max�s other side, and the
blonde had claimed the window seat.

�� I think so.� It�ll probably take me a couple weeks to get
used to it, but it should be a lot of fun!�
I can�t wait!�� Max replied
eagerly and Michael laughed.

�� Yeah, kid.� In all honesty, neither can I.� I�m about ready to
start a new phase of life, I guess.�

�� Oh, really?�� Emily poked her head over their seats and
gave the captain an arch look.� �Since
when did you grow up and realize there�s more to life than blading, fame, and
fortune?�

�� I�ve always known, Emily.�� Michael shot back, folding his arms and
leaning back in his seat.� �I just chose
to enjoy it as much as I could while it lasted.�

�� Uh huh.� Right.�

�� Max sweatdropped
and tuned their good natured bickering out.�
He was used to it by now.�
Instead, he put on his headphones and found a radio station he liked,
then sat back and relaxed, determined to enjoy the flight.

~ Tyson ~

�� So tell us, Kenny�� Rei inquired,
standing up and peering over the seats down at the brunette, Tyson, and
Hilary.� �What�s the deal with this
university, anyway?� Why�s it in Canada?�

�� I�m glad you asked, Rei.�� Kenny flipped open his laptop and proceeded
to punch keys to call up some data.� �I
did some research and stuff, and found out quite a lot.�

�� And?�� Tyson asked, taking off his headphones and
setting them aside.

�� Well, the BBA picked Canada for all
kinds of reasons � its climate, its peacefulness, strong economy, etc.� But they picked western Canada to build it in because most of the
largest and oldest institutions are located in Ontario
and Quebec,
so the BBA thought it would be a good idea to spread out a little more.�� Kenny explained, turning the screen of his
laptop to show them all the pictures of the new University he�d found on the
internet.� �See?� That�s it.�
It�s in a small city in central Alberta.�

�� Small city?� Look at that aerial view!� We have towns bigger than that in Japan!�� Hilary shook her head.� �It�s hard to believe they have all this
space and yet such a small population.�

�� Rei smiled.� �I�ve been all over the world, Hilary, and
each place I�ve been to has its own charms and unique quirks.�� He looked thoughtful for a moment.� �I�ve never been to Canada,
though.�

�� It�s an adventure for all of us,
then.�� Kenny said wisely.� �Nothing we can�t handle, right?�

�� You bet, Chief!�� Tyson agreed.�
He stared out his window and thought quietly to himself, I can�t wait.

Okay!� Just a few things� 1) I
know in previous chapters I�ve had Lee/Mariah listed as a pairing that I�d
intended to put up.� However, that was
before I was educated to the fact that they�re brother and sister.� So that�s changing!� *sweatdrops*� 2) From this point on, you�re going
have GRev characters thrown at you when you least
expect it!� But keep in mind that this fic is still based BEFORE GRev
because I haven�t seen the whole thing yet.�
