The Calm Before the Storm- Kai
After a small amount of complaining and a large amount of glaring Kai had finally got his way. With great hesitation
and plenty of warnings, the others had finally let him get out of bed, only so he could sit and watch them practice
though. According to them, if he moved from his seat he was dead! Kai smiled slightly at the thought. He was now
seated comfortably on the Dojo veranda. Beside him, Kenny was typing away on Dizzy, working on Kai's plan. On the
grass in front of him, Tyson and Max were battling with their Beyblades.
Kai let his eyes drift close to the familiar sound of Beyblades crashing together. Just as he was about to fall asleep
Kenny's voice pulled him awake again.
'Kai?' he said quietly. Kai turned his head to look at him. 'I think they're finished. Is this what you wanted?' Kai put out
his hand for the objects that Kenny had just made. They were two Beyblades. Almost identical to Dragoon and
Draciel, Tyson and Max's blades. All they were missing were the bit chips.
Noticing the exchange between Kai and Kenny, Max and Tyson stopped their battle and walked over.
'What are they for, Kai?' asked Tyson, curiously. Kai looked up at him.
'You didn't expect to just hand over your blades to Biovolt, did you?' he asked. Tyson shook his head. 'Well I got
Kenny to make substitutes for you. Here.' He handed the blades to their respective owners.
'Perfect!' exclaimed Tyson happily. Kai frowned though.
'Not really.' Tyson looked up again, confused.
'Why not?'
'For one thing, I doubt they're planning on bringing back Rei, they wouldn't have kidnapped him unless they had a
good reason. Secondly, they still have Dranzer and Drigger. Getting the antidote off them won't help anything.' Tyson
and Max both sat down on the grass with a sigh.
'What are we supposed to do then?' asked Max. Kai closed his eyes again. He was more tired than he had realised.
Taking a deep breath he told them his plan. When he opened his eyes again, Tyson and Max were both staring at
him, gob-smacked! He had already told Kenny since he had needed him to make the fake Blades.
'Kai? Are you serious?' He nodded, leaning back against a post for support. Without meaning to, he let the rough
wood scrape across one of his cuts. Holding back a wince, Kai sat up straight again. The others were watching him
strangely.
'What?' Tyson rolled his eyes.
'You've been out here too long. You're going back to bed to rest.' To their surprise, Kai didn't protest but just nodded
meekly. With Tyson and Max under each arm, Kai limped back to bed. Max was going to stay and keep an eye on him
but there was no need. Almost as soon as his head hit the pillow, Kai was sound asleep.
'Poor Kai.' Murmured Max. Tyson nodded. They all knew how much Kai hated them seeing him as weak. It wasn't that
they ever did but they could see he thought it.
Back outside, Tyson and Max started Beybattling again. Their minds weren't on it though; they were both worrying
about Kai's plan. According to him, their best bet was to track Biovolt to their hiding place. Then they could sneak in
and rescue Rei. Unfortunately the only way to easily track Biovolt was to put a tracking device on an employee or
vehicle owned by Biovolt. It was this part of the plan that no one liked. Seeing as how he was supposed to be gravely
injured, Kai had offered to put the device on one of Biovolt's vehicles, after all, they wouldn't expect him to attend the
meeting so they wouldn't expect a thing! Tyson shook his head. This whole thing was stupid. As well as just being
allowed to go with them to take part in that bit of the plan, Kai had insisted that they would need him to go with
them into Biovolt's headquarters. Tyson sighed as his Beyblade flew back into his hand.
'What do you think, Max?' Max picked up his own Beyblade and went to sit on the step.
'I don't think we have much of a choice.' He said sadly. Tyson nodded agreement as he sat down next to Max.
'Kai's to stubborn.' He remarked.
'Well I think you underestimate him.' The two boys looked up to see Kenny coming towards them from the doorway;
Dizzy tucked under one arm.
'What do you mean?' asked Tyson as his friend sat down beside him.
'I mean that Kai is a lot stronger than we give him credit for. If it had been one of us who had been attacked like that,
we'd probably still be in the hospital. We probably wouldn't even be conscious.' It was a sobering thought and the
trio fell into a gloomy silence as they thought about it.
'Kai does always seem to heal a lot quicker than the rest of us.' Murmured Tyson quietly. The other two nodded. Max
smiled slightly,
'By tomorrow he'll probably be walking around the house ordering us about as he usually does if we're not careful!'
The others grinned, knowing Kai; he might just do exactly that!
'Okay then.' Said Tyson, getting up with a sudden decision. 'Kai's plan will go ahead, and we will save Rei. No matter
what happens.'
The other's nodded, standing beside him.
'No matter what.'
