Hello! Wel all you really need to know for now is that I will be updating this story every five to six days. It is mostly finished but advice is always welcome X)! And , I do not own Beyblade or any of it's characters. I do, however, own my own imagination and the idea for this story, YIPPIE!

Ahem...right, enjoy :)!

"RAY! Hurry up, we're gonna be late!"

Up in his room Ray rolled his eyes as he finished wrapping his hair. He then grabbed his shoes and put them on before leaving his room and taking the stair two at a time.

"Relax Tyson, I'm here."

Tyson huffed and flung Ray's jacket at him. "Well, it took you long enough. Now come on!"

Barely able to put on his jacket Ray was already being dragged out of the front door and towards the taxi that was waiting for them. Max and Kenny were already inside waiting for the other two impatiently.

As Ray and Tyson took a seat and the latter closed the door Max was already urging the driver to go. It was a surprise the taxi could hold all four of them, especially since Tyson and Max were as hyper as could be because they were finally going to check out that new 'Robin Hood' movie. Kenny, on the other hand, was sulking because the others had forced him to leave his laptop back at the apartment. He was even in a worse mood when Tyson's and Max's hyperness got a little out of hand in one of the turns and they totally flattened Kenny against the side of the car squeezing a very girly squeal out of him that only made them laugh at him. Ray, trying very hard to contain his laughter pulled the two off of Kenny and than settled to silently chuckling to himself. He looked over at his three friends and felt that nothing could beat this. They had saved the world and had been friends for a little over four years. They were still beyblading but they now lived in the same apartment with the five of them.

Suddenly Ray's smile faltered a bit and he sighed. Yeah, the five of them. Tyson, Max, Kenny, him and Kai. It had been a total and utter surprise when Kai had agreed to living in such close proximity to the other Bladebreakers. They had all been very excited about it. However, Kai was still a very hard guy to…well…talk to. Even though he had changed already, things like going to the movies or just going out with them in general was something he absolutely did not do. The others just gave him his space but, Ray couldn't help but feel a little down about the fact that Kai wasn't with them. He was part of the team and, even though Kai kept on denying it, he was their friend. He was the guy that was looking from the sidelines and who gave you the advice you really needed, he was the one who would never really let you down. Or at least that's how it had been after BEGA, luckily.

Staring at all the different cars shooting by Ray found himself thinking of the Phoenix yet again. He and Kai hadn't really been close or anything, but, seeing as Ray was the only one who wasn't either on a sugar high or stuck with his nose in a laptop all day, Kai usually took a liking to Ray when sharing rooms or on bus trips. That is, if he couldn't be all alone and really had to choose someone as his company. And somehow, Ray really liked the fact that Kai did that. Somehow, Ray just really liked Kai.

Ray's eyes widened at that particular thought and he quickly stopped it. He was not thinking such things about Kai, he was NOT!

But, stepping out of the taxi and following his friends inside, he just couldn't keep his thoughts off of Kai. And, aware or not, Ray's heart already knew exactly how Ray felt for his captain, and was getting a little impatient with Ray's stubborn and in denial brain.

…

"That. Was. So. COOL!" Tyson practically danced up the few steps up to their apartment door. He was closely followed by an ever-so-happy Max and a still grumbling Kenny. The last one was Ray who was still trying to stifle his laughing because Kenny kept on trying to give him mean looks that actually just made him seem constipated, hence Ray's laughter.

Barging through the front door, they were anything but quiet. Tyson kept on shouting that Kai would be so mad at himself when he found out what he had missed. Ray and Max just shared a look which basically said 'it's Kai's-going-to-kill-Tyson time again', while Kenny gave them both a look which said 'you two can clean it up this time' as he immediately ran to his room to go get his beloved Dizzy.

"Guys, you gonna come with, rub it in Kai's face!"

Max let himself fall onto the couch as he just gave Tyson a humoured look.

"Don't you think that him trying to strangle you once a week is enough Tyson?"

Tyson just puffed out his cheeks and his chest and was about to say something Ray was sure would have given them all a good laugh when a very high-pitched shriek came from upstairs.

Kenny.

All of their heads turned towards the doorway of the living room, which they were currently in, and not even a second later frantic footsteps came down the stairs and Kenny came flying around the corner looking as nuts as they come.

"DIZZY IS GONE!"

It was all Kenny said before he went into ramble mode as he started going over the entire room, flinging stuff into the air and nearly throwing Max off of the couch in order to check underneath the pillows.

"SHE'S NOT HERE EITHER!"

He immediately raced on to the kitchen and they all could hear cutlery and glasses being thrown about and felt like they should probably do something. Maybe they could order a straight jacket or dope Kenny up so bad he would calm down. But, before any of them even moved another shriek sounded, only this one sounded relieved.

"DIZZY!"

Going into the kitchen they found a disaster zone. Knives, spoons and forks were everywhere, plates were thrown onto a pile and at least half of them were broken and the entire kitchen floor was littered with glasses. And, in the midst of all this was Kenny, hugging his laptop to his chest and speaking soft reassuring words to it.

Ray, Tyson and Max could only stand there with their mouths wide open looking at what teeny tiny little Kenny had just done to their home in a matter of minutes. As soon as Kai would come down to check out the noise, they would all be so d-e-a-d.

But, as the seconds ticked by, nothing happened and Ray was the first one to come out of his fear induced frozen state. He carefully nudged the other two next to him into motion and slowly began to pick up some pieces of plate and knives.

"Come on guys, we better clean this up before Kai gets back. He probably went for a walk so we're lucky this time. Just do NOT do that again, ever."

That last sentence had been directed at Kenny who, for the first time since the whole screaming upstairs, actually took notice of the fact that there were three more people in the room. He opened his mouth to say something but immediately shut it and went bright red when he saw the devastation done to the kitchen and his three silently fuming friends looking down on him. He just silently picked himself and Dizzy up, tucked her under his arm and went to cleaning up the mess.

For an hour no one said anything, they just cleaned the living room and the kitchen with increasing speed. The fear for what Kai would do if he got home to this mess was fueling everyone's energy. Tyson had to smile bitterly at this. Even though Kai had already changed a lot, he still held a certain amount of danger in his aura that could even scare the ones he was living with and had known for four years.

After one hour had passed, things looked normal again. The cushions were back on the couch and the living room was tidied up. The kitchen floor was finally not a hazard zone anymore and all the unbroken plates and glasses were back in the cupboards, as was the cutlery. Aside from the two boxes full of broken plates in a closet in Max's room, nothing could be seen anymore that related to Kenny nearly destroying the entire house.

Speaking of which, the subject of the matter had silently sneaked back up his room and was now checking every inch of his laptop, all the documents on it and bombarding Dizzy with questions as to how she suddenly managed to move on her own and ended up in the kitchen.

The other three had crashed onto the coach, watching a TV-show of which nobody had a clue as to what it was called and they were all silently brooding on how to make this week personal hell for Kenny. After thinking of taking Dizzy, shutting Dizzy down, locking her up or hanging Kenny out of a window upside down and make him sing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' Ray noticed that it was midnight already and decided that brooding could also be done in the comfort of one's bed and went upstairs…or at least tried to. Something speeding down knocked right into him and nearly sent him flying if it wasn't for the banister next to the staircase.

"What the… Kenny?"

And indeed, hanging onto Ray for balance was Kenny with Dizzy in his other hand. He quickly jumped back up and pulled on Ray's sleeve urging him to follow him.

"Ray come on, you need see this!"

"See what? I'm not in the mood Kenny, I'm going to sleep."

"But, I really, really think you should see this. It's important and I don't know what to do with it!"

Ray looked at Kenny and noticed that Kenny seriously looked on the verge of tears. Not feeling like dealing with a crying squirt he sighed and followed Kenny down the stairs again.

"Guys, guys, you need to see this!"

Tyson and Max visibly jumped as they were roughly pulled out of their 'how-do-we-make-Kenny-miserable-for-a-while' thoughts and had to focus on the little brown haired geek dragging an indifferent neko-jinn after him.

"I was going through my files to see if anything had been damaged or was missing and then I found this one file that I absolutely couldn't remember ever putting on there. So I opened it and my entire screen went black until it read this."

Kenny put Dizzy on the table standing in front of the couch so everyone could see the screen. On it was the following:

Dear Tyson, Max, Ray and Kenny

I would like to play a game with you.

For a moment everyone was quiet as they merely stared at the screen. Then Ray sighed and slumped before standing up and stretching.

"You kept me from bed for that?"

He looked at Kenny with an irritated expression before turning towards the doorway, planning to go to bed for the second time this night.

And for the second time, it didn't play out the way he wanted it to. Max's voice rudely stopped him from making his exit.

"Uhm, Ray, you might really want to see this. And I mean really, really, really want to see this."

"Max, I'm gonna go to bed. I'm tired and you three are not helping my already screwed up mood."

"Three? I feel left out Ray. All I wanted was to play with you. Don't you wanna play with me Ray?"

All four boys froze immediately and went totally quiet, until a very scared voice piped up. Kenny.

"Uhm, R-Ray, You sh-should come o-over here…p-please?"

Slowly turning around, Ray saw all three of them staring at the computer screen with a certain amount of fear an disbelief. Although with Kenny, the fear was a lot more obvious. The text on the screen had changed, now it said.

No Ray, I kept you up so we all could play.

Without remembering giving his legs any command, Ray walked back to the couch and sat back down again. It was then that he remembered that he had vocal chords and could do a little thing called 'talking'.

"Who the hell said that?"

Although his voice was a little shaky and soft, it was very well heard in the immensely quiet living room. The text on the screen changed yet again;

I did.

None of them really knew why, but those two little words suddenly made the room's temperature drop below freezing and gave them the famous chill-going-down-my-spine moment.

"…And who are you..?"

Ray couldn't stop himself from asking. He was slightly alarmed when after a few seconds nothing had happened yet. But, he couldn't really understand why. Some stranger had somehow hacked into Dizzy and was now talking to them through her. So, what else was screwed up with this picture.

I'm the game master.

…This was all seriously confusing. Max couldn't make heads or tails of it. The only thought going through his head was;…I think I speak for all of us when I say…huh? He looked to the side and, judging from his friends expressions, concluded that their thoughts were about the same. Coughing a little he felt stupid as he was about to ask a question to a computer, to something which apparently wasn't Dizzy.

"What exactly do you want…with us?"

He didn't really know why he had added that last part, but somehow it had just slipped out of his mouth. He also noticed that his voice was a little shaky…wait a minute…he wasn't scared, was he! But, now that he thought about it, that would explain where that extremely uneasy feeling and urge to walk out of the room came from.

I just want to play Maxie.

Do you want to play with me?

Now it was Tyson who answered, and by the sound of his voice, he was thoroughly annoyed by being kept from doing nothing/sleeping.

"And if we don't want to play with you!"

Everybody held their breath, even though they themselves weren't even sure why. But just somehow they thought that that particular question would do something…anything to whoever the game master was supposed to be. And apparently, it did. But the outcome was different than what they had expected it to be. They actually got an answer, an answer that was clear and impossible to misinterpret, unlike all the answers they had received so far.

Then Kai dies.

You guys know the drill, review and get a special thankyou!
