Chapter 1

The Bladebreakers were staying in a wooden cabin in Siberia, Russia. Near where they were staying, was a small but dense forest and a few hills that almost looked like mountains. Since it was winter, the area was covered in snow. The cabin they were staying in had two storeys with a balcony on one room, which happened to be the one that Kai had. Each of them also all had their own room.

They had been sent to Russia for a four week winter break; although Tyson didn't think so, on the count of Kai telling him to train every day. The four teens had already been in Russia for about four days. They were going to spend the first two weeks in Siberia, and the last two in Moscow.

"But Kai do we have to I mean we are on a break and on a break you are supposed to rest, sleep and eat, do whatever you want really," whined Tyson.

"Since you put it that way my answer will have to be…No," said Kai, and with that he headed upstairs.

"Oh my gosh he is such a grouch," said Tyson under his breath as he walked towards the kitchen to go and make himself a sandwich or two.

Just as Tyson was leaving the kitchen to go to the living room, Kai came down the stairs "Well since you don't want to train tomorrow, I thought we could go-"

"To a restaurant,"

"To a sweet shop,"

"To an arcade,"

"-No, no, oh and did I mention No! We are going to go up one of those hills behind this cabin. It's not very big, you can't get lost or hurt unless you are very stupid," he told them as he looked at Tyson. "We are not going to go all the way up but if any of you annoy me I might change my mind," finished Kai as he glared at Tyson, "Oh and wake up 6:30 sharp, no buts," and then he went back into his room.

"He calls those things hills, they look like freakin' mountains. 6:30, 6:30, sometimes I can't believe him you know," said Tyson

"Well he is the team captain, so we do have to listen to him," said Ray. "Also by us doing physical activities it will help to improve our stamina and so when we train and then battle our Bit-Beasts can get stronger."

"Yes I know, it's just we're supposed to be on a break."

"Well we're not training as long as we usually do. Besides we can get lazy if we don't train, and then you'll have to train even harder when you start again," added Ray. Tyson just sighed and sat back down on the sofa.

"Well I'm going to bed if we're going to get up that early," said Max.

The other two nodded in agreement and followed Max upstairs, going to their respective rooms while Ray hesitated before going into his room wanting to check up on Kai, but not knowing if he was still in a bad mood. He decided against it knowing that Kai wouldn't thank him for it.

Kai could hear all the bedroom doors close, and knew that they were going to sleep. He sighed his breath coming out in a white puff of air. He stared out at the untouched snow; it looking like it was glistening in the moonlight. A cold breeze blew over the teen, but he didn't shiver even though he didn't have a coat on. Kai didn't know how long he had been standing there, but when he eventually started to feel sleepy that's when he decided to go in. He lay on the bed and rolled onto his side, before starting to cough, knowing that he shouldn't have stayed outside so long. Soon enough sleep claimed Kai just like it had claimed everyone else in the cabin.

The next morning Kai was awoken by his body clock at 5:30. He took a nice warm shower, before taking a short walk outside. Upon returning to the cabin, he proceeded to wake Tyson and Max, but found Ray and Max already outside their rooms waiting for him.

"Where's Tyson?" was the first thing that came out of his mouth

"Still…sleeping," reluctantly said Max.

'How should I wake you up today? I know' Kai backed out of the room, and went into the bathroom. Filled two cup two with freezing cold water and brought it back to Tyson's room.

"What are you going to do with that Kai?" asked Max. Kai didn't answer. It was silent for a few moments until a small splash then a rather loud yell was heard.

"Hey, it's already cold enough without you making it any colder," shouted Tyson.

"Well if you woke up on time then I wouldn't have to do this," Kai shouted back. Kai growled then stomped out of the room but had a smirk on his face. Tyson stuck his tongue out at his retreating back then went to go and get dressed.

A mere forty-five minutes later they were all ready to go. They were standing by the door in their coats hats and gloves, making sure they had everything. Max was wearing a green hat, scarf and gloves with a picture of a turtle on it, and a big puffy orange coat. Tyson was wearing the same as Max but his hat was red and blue with a picture of a dragon on it, as was the scarf and gloves, and the coat was just blue. Ray wore the same as the other two, but his hat was red and had a Ying-Yang sign on it, as was the gloves and scarf. Kai didn't wear gloves or a hat just a dark blue coat, and the scarf he always wore.

"Kai aren't you going to get cold without a hat or gloves" asked Max. Kai didn't answer.

"Well can we get a move on because of someone it is now quarter past seven and I wanted to go at the latest 7 o'clock," said Kai

Tyson pointed at himself and opened his mouth as if to say 'what me'. Kai just glared at him and stormed out of the house.

It was about a 20 minute walk from the cabin to hills, and they were just glad that it wasn't snowing like yesterday. The winter sun was shining, making the snow beneath them look bright.

When they reached the hills, they were faced with what looked to be half hill half mountain. They could walk up to a point, but the steepness and the rockiness of did cause some concern. Tyson and Max just stared at it before staring at Kai who hadn't stopped. Tyson turned round to look at Ray who was about to start walking, when Tyson stopped him.

"He says this is a hill?"

"Well it is as I don't think it's big enough to be classified as a mountain. I know it looks like a mountain but the bottom half is like a hill as all you have to do it walk, so it shouldn't be that hard," said Ray.

"Yea right, why are we doing this in the first place?"

"Probably to increase our stamina and endurance, like I said yesterday," Ray told him.

"What happens is we fall or we get hurt or something?" asked Max

"Well Kai did say that it was hard to get hurt, but if you fall see the rope helping you to climb when it starts to get steep, try to grab onto that. Or just hold onto it the whole time so you don't fall," suggested Ray.

Kai sensed that they weren't following him and he turned around and sure enough they were all huddled round the beginning, talking is what it seemed like.

"Well aren't you coming?" shouted Kai, they jumped slightly and turned to look at each other before quickly following him.

As it began to get steeper, they could see that there was already a path set out for them. As it began to get steeper there were steel rods stuck into the hill with a rope going through the eye at the top. It still didn't take away the daunting fact of actually having to climb it, but it made them feel better that they would have something to hold onto.

They had been walking/climbing for about 45 minutes when Kai started to have difficulty because he couldn't really feel where he was placing his hands, or if he had a tight grip on the rope or not. Kai looked behind to make sure they wouldn't see him stop and he took a closer look at one hand while hanging on with the other. He noticed that his hand had gone really white, must just be the cold he thought, and carried on climbing.

"Kai how much further is it, I'm tired," whined Tyson this caused Kai to jump and almost lose his balance.

"Not much further about another 30 minutes," replied Kai.

"What! Not much further, 30 minutes is a lot further," shouted Tyson as he looked up at Max and Ray who turned round to look at him.

About 10 minutes later Kai looked at his hands again to make sure that they hadn't turned any other colour. He looked at them again and had they turned a yellowish grey and he couldn't feel them at all.

"Kai can we stop and rest please?" begged Tyson, Kai again didn't answer. "Hey Kai I asked you a question. Kai, the least you could do is answer it," yelled Tyson. Kai turned only to glare at him and then carried on climbing

"Hey Tyson this is Kai we're talking about of course he isn't going to answer you," joked Ray, hoping that he hadn't heard him.

They finally reached quite a big ledge for all of them to sit and rest on. Kai then started to rub his hands to try and get the feeling back into them but it was no use. Ray noticed this and went over to him.

"Hey Kai are you okay you look cold?" Ray asked. Kai just nodded. Ray then want back over to the others.

"Well you know what, just because of Tyson and his moaning on the way up here, we are going to go a bit further up," smirked Kai.

"WHAT!" shouted Max and Tyson, while Ray just shook his head, knowing that this would probably happen.

Kai then looked through the bag that he had brought and brought out some food which Tyson recognized immediately.

"Hey Kai did you bring any for us?"

"If by us, you mean everyone except you then yes," he smirked giving the sandwiches to Max and Ray, while they tried not to laugh.

"What! Why!"

"I'm only joking of course I have," he said throwing him the tin foiled package. A smile appeared on his face as he quickly opened it.

Ray noticed that Kai didn't have any, and wondered why. But then saw him go into the bag and he brought out four thermos flasks and handed it to each of them. Ray only saw Kai take a few sips of the hot tea inside before putting it back.

"Hey Kai how come you're not eating?" he asked as everyone else turned to look at him.

"Because I'm not hungry," he told them.

"How can you not be hungry after all that climbing dude?"

"Because I'm not," he replied. They took his answer and finished eating before drinking their tea, careful not to burn themselves.

I hope you enjoyed.

When I was in Japan last year, I we had to climb this mountain/hill thing, that's where I got the idea for this. Luckily it wasn't in the snow though…it was just so hot! It was quite steep but not to the point I have put in this story. It felt so good to finally get to the top!
