CHAPTER ONE:

Looking to his left there was a beautiful young blond girl standing in the blinding light that seemed to emanate from her very being. On his right there was an equally gorgeous girl with raven-black hair, this time swamped in the mystery of darkness which seemed almost a part of her. Both girls reached out for him simultaneously, each of them taking hold of one of his arms. They beckoned, implored, begged him to join them. The tugging on his arms became more insistent, more painful. They were pulling him apart, trying to win him for their own. He could feel his shirt tear at the shoulders, and suddenly……… A tearing sound resounded as the girls faded into nothing realising that they had made a grave error once again……

Kai, captain of the bladebreakers sat bolt upright as he awoke from that terrible nightmare once again to find himself soaked with sweat and breathing hard. 'Calm down, it was just a dream.' He thought to himself. As he shifted in bed to make himself more comfortable he winced at a sudden pain in his head. "Itai!" He muttered, putting a hand up to steady himself against the bed. He had one heck of a headache. Shaking his head he climbed out of bed and made his way to the closet that he and his team-mate Ray were sharing. He wouldn't be able to sleep anymore tonight, even though it was only midnight. After getting dressed he decided to go for a walk to clear his head. Little did he know that as he left two pairs of eyes followed him, one dark and one light………

The Bladebreakers were at a hotel in Russia, training for the opening day of the BBA charity match. "Morning guys, what's for breakfast!" Tyson greeted the rest of the gang. As he made his way to the breakfast table, he realised that something was wrong. Even Max was looking serious which was a sure sign of trouble. "Ok guys, let me have it straight. What did I do this time?" He asked after looking from once serious face to the next. Max piped up, "Kai's gone off again, and according to Ray he must have taken off during the middle of the night." Uh oh, Kai hadn't done the disappearing act since he found his lost memories and defected from the Bladebreakers, but lately he had been retreating behind the wall he had built up around himself to keep him separated from his team-mates. And it had taken them nearly forever to break that wall down the first time. Something was up with Kai but none of them knew what. As we all know, Kai isn't the type to let others in on what he's thinking and feeling. After considering the situation Ray said, "Well, we can't do anything until he gets back, but I suggest that we confront him when he does." The others nodded their heads in agreement, until he returned there was nothing they could do. "In the meantime, who's up for breakfast!" Tyson said with his characteristic huge smile. Everybody facefaulted. "TYSON!" They chorused. "What?" Came the indignant reply.

Ray was pacing up and down the hotel room. Max was staring out the window of the room, jumping up and running to the door every time he thought he heard somebody approaching. Every time though he had come back shaking his head. Tyson was stretched out on the bed and Kenny was typing away on Dizzy, but not really concentrating on what he was doing. It was two days after Kai's disappearance and to say that they were stressed was an understatement. They didn't know what to do. They had alerted Mr Dickenson, but he couldn't go to the police station because it wasn't certain that anything had happened to him. He had been known to go off like this before. The remaining Bladebreakers sat looking at each other and wondering what they could do to help their slate-haired captain. Then………footsteps! It sounded like somebody was pulling themselves along. All four boys rushed out of their room to see their captain painfully dragging himself along the corridor. There were cuts all over his body. His right arm and left leg seemed almost useless as they hung there. He was breathing heavily and as they looked on he started slumping towards the ground. This acted as a restorative on his shocked team-mates. They rushed forward to prevent his falling as he slipped into unconsciousness.

Jaheira1000: Well, what did you guys think? Good? Bad? Remember to review on your way out!  I know it's kinda short, but the chapters will get longer, I promise, but only if I know you like the story.
