Disclaimer: I don't own beyblades or any of it's characters, if I did there'd be no denying that Kai and Ray were meant to be together, plus… I don't think there'd be many characters left after I was done was with 'em. Any who, on with the fic.
Here's to RememberingCh1. Memory Test.
Kai is racing down a stone corridor, his heart pounding in his ears and his chest heaving as it tried to keep up with his hasty pace. The lights above his head were flashing red and the sirens blaring a scratchy whine.
His mind whirled as he dodged between halls, avoiding the guards as best he could. He took a wrong turn and was corned by oncoming guards. Panicking as he ran out of corridors to run down he kicked in a solid wood door next to him. He froze as sound and smell of death and torture seeped out. The thick smell of blood and poison nearly knocked him back but the shouts of guards got him moving again.
He dashed into the foul, dark room aimed towards the bands of gleaming light that poured through the window. About half way to the window the room brightened, revealing the spacious laboratory that was normally concealed in the shadows.
Small lab tables were positioned along the white walls and the floor was almost spongy, but still firm.
"Kai, did you come to watch?" The menacing and coarse voice of his grandfather asked steadily.
Kai whipped around, fists balled and ready to fight. He growled at the elderly man behind him but stumbled back at the sight of what he had walked into.
There were a dozen tables neatly lined up, all with bodies on them. Some were dead but the experimentation was not yet complete and others were still alive, but poisons were no doubly consuming them from the inside out. Tubes and IVs ran from the children that were being tested, some with unnaturally colored liquids and some with blood being pumped from them.
The children's dead gaze, shined with pain and anguish as they suffered a slow death. BioVolt had paralyzed them with poison and now testing their reactions to certain drugs and toxins.
Kai staggered back into the wall shaking his head, denying that all this was real.
"No." Kai gasped and spun around to the window, trying to rip off the mesh covering.
"Do you not remember Kai?" Voltaire asked maliciously. "You were one of my successes." He said sternly. "These failures won't be here much longer." He said catching Kai's full attention, as he implied that Kai's assumption on their veins pumping poisons through out them was true.
"No." Kai repeated louder, tearing the mesh down and springing through the window.
He landed gracefully on his feet, but a sudden vision of blood spouting and coating everything red took him off balance. He roared in pain and sprinted blindly to the dark woods that surround the BioVolt Corporation. He dived into some low shrubbery and let his breath catch up with him.
The shouts of guards passed and another memory surfaced leaving him vulnerable.
His sense were shrouded in thick stench of blood and decaying flesh, and images of half composed bodies lying with still living beings flickered through his mind. A sharp pain in his arm brought him back to a just as fatal reality.
He dashed further in the woods, hoping the memories would stop since he was running from the place that caused them in the first place. He stopped as he ran onto a light dirt path.
The beautiful scenery mocking his very being, laughing at his ugly life and the obscene images that were now haunting him. But yet Kai pushed on, brushing off the embarrassment and shrugging off the pain.
But he couldn't stop the memories. He cringed as his sight shifted to one of a syringe filled with a syrupy fluorescent ooze. It slowly dripped off the end, taunting him, knowing that there was no escape. Kai shivered and collapsed onto his knees, his mind took the opportunity to run more suppressed memories.
His sense numbed as the memories transported him back to that time. The needle pierced his flesh, burning it. All of his skin felt like it was crawling, trying to get away, too. Kai's veins were chilled but at the same time, lit on fire. It was burning him from the inside out but the numbing side effect from the first injection left him immobilized.
Kia shrieked in pain as the phantom pain coursed through his veins, then rippled into his mind, making him dizzy and blurring his vision.
Another sharp pain knocked the phantom pain away but left his arm twitching in nervousness. He screamed again as his mind yelled at him to keep running and his body following without hesitation.
He tripped over a thick root that was growing across the trail. The jolt was enough to bring him back to reality but the phantom pain wouldn't have that. It rang through his body and gave him more memories.
This time he was in a cramped and dark room with other children. They were all quivering despite the fact that the room was over heated and sweaty from all the bodies hastily crammed in there. The other children cried in pain as the toxins began eating away at their organs and flooding their senses with pain. Kai coward in a dark corner hoping this was a nightmare that it never really happened.
Kai pushed himself up from the ground and weakly sprinted further down the trail. He panted and slowed as he crossed the property line of BioVolt but another image of some one running from BioVolt surfaced, showing him the dire consequences of leaving that place.
He was very young, and his mother and father were still alive at least for moment, anyways. A sudden flash and he was starring down at his bloodied hands. He frantically whipped his head around, trying to find the source of the blood. He stood by his father, whose throat was slashed and his blood was watching over the white carpet. His mother was beside him, shaking violently. Foam and saliva was seeping from her mouth, she had been poisoned and the man that did was still standing there with the syringe in hand.
Kai groaned in pain and collapsed onto his knees holding his head.
"Stop it!" Kai shouted, his voice catching in his throat. "I don't want to remember! Please stop." Kai plead as his eyes moistened but tears refused to fall.
Kai gasped in pain as his father's haunting blood pooled around him.
"No." Kai cried as he doubled over in pain. "Please, I don't want to remember." Kai whispered his voice fading as his throat clenched shut.
He whimpered as the blood filled his vision, darkening the memories and covering his mind. Kai felt a slight tug on him and let the chi pull him back. The blood washing over him, cleansing him of the images and the phantom pain. Kai sighed, finally at peace and let unconsciousness consume him.
So… Wadda ya think? Too much detail, too long, to what? I need to know. Please review and let me know if I should proceed with chapter 2.
