Here's Chapter two just because I was Bored

Chapter Two- Bumps in the Night

Ray lay awake in the moonlight that broke its way through the sliding screen doors of the dojo, everyone else was asleep. At least he thought everyone was asleep, how they could sleep through Tyson's snoring was unthinkable but somehow they managed.

He laid there a few more minutes before deciding to make his way to the door to call Tala. After stepping over the mass of sleeping bodies on the floor, he entered the living room to the phone and dialed the number as he sat on the couch next to it.

The phone rang until finally Tala answered, "Ray?" Tala whispered, everyone was probably asleep there as well, that and he didn't want Kai to hear. Kai could be a pain, he knew that, but Kai had never had nightmares before, at least not ones to be concerned about, or so he thought.

"Tala, what about these nightmares that Kai's been having," Ray kept his voice down so he wouldn't wake up anyone in the other room.

"They must be pretty bad for him since he told me about them!" Tala raised his voice and then softened it again; scared he might have awoken any of his slumbering teammates. Then he continued as the questions could finish processing in Ray's head.

"He said it was about a prophecy, there were some weird kinds of priests in black robes with purple and red face paint. They'd do horrible things to him until they were able to control him and set their god free. I didn't think it was real until Kai showed me these three markings Boris had put on his back for some reason."

Ray was shocked, who knew Kai could have dreams like that. "What kind of markings?" Ray asked, forgetting to whisper all together which caused him to slap his hand across his mouth.

"It's a downward facing triangle with a circle around it. It's pretty simple, but it's where they're put. He's got one on each shoulder blade and one in the center of his back. Wait! I've got to go, I…" Tala was interrupted by a loud thud.

"Tala?" No answer, "Tala!" The phone was put on the receiver and Ray heard the signal which meant that the phone was dead. Something was wrong, very wrong. Ray rushed back in the room and spent five minutes trying to wake Tyson up. Luckily it was only Kenny, Max, and Tyson there or he'd have woken everyone up.

Ray explained the situation to the others as fast as he could, receiving confused faces as he breathed heavily trying to catch his breath. He explained it again, only slower this time.

"We've gotta help them!" Yelled Tyson.

"Yeah, what if something bad happened?" Max questioned.

That settled it, they were going to Russia to help! As they walked out the door, Tyson's stomach growled as Tyson started laughing embarrassedly.

"We'll pick something up Tyson!" Ray said aggravated as if knowing what Tyson was going to ask next.

Kai's eyes drifted open as he blinked to get used to the lack of light. He felt hard stone under his back. This place was all too familiar. He stood up and slid his hand across the wall to look for anything.

His hand came to an indention in the wall. He traced it with his finger since it was too dark to see. He shuddered as he realized what the symbol was. He pressed his back to the wall and slid down it to where he could rest his chin on his knees. His eyes glazed over as he whispered 'No…'

Flashback

Kai was seven in the abbey, Boris had thrown him in one of the stone rooms in the basement, only one floor below ground level, for losing on purpose in a match against Tala so he wouldn't get hurt. Tala was eight or nine then and he didn't care about Kai.

They had never talked together, not even once, but Kai was willing to take the punishment to save Tala the pain. The thick metal door opened as two men stepped in. One of them was Boris, which Kai glared at.

The other he could not see for he was wearing a black robe with his hood up, the shadows covering his face. Boris whispered into the man's ear, while the other man nodded. Boris then, without speaking, pinned Kai to the floor and began carving the insignia on Kai's back.

Kai had passed out long before Boris had finished, tears streaming down his face. Boris gave a chuckle as he looked over his work; he then tossed the bloody knife aside. The hooded man gave a nod and of approval and walked out the heavy gray door followed soon after by Boris, who stopped to look back at Kai and laughed.

End Flashback

Tala heard a whisper and shot awake. Looking around he saw that all the Demolition Boys were there and everyone was asleep except for Kai and himself. He waved a shaking hand in front of Kai who was staring at Kai.

The others began to wake up. "Where are we?" Every one began to look around with no avail, it was too dark and no one could see. They sat back down, and rested their eyes on Kai, who was in a world of his own.

"Do you think he'll be Okay?" Tala asked to no one in general. Everyone gave sad looks.

"I hope so." Ian said quietly.

"I do too," Tala stared at the floor hoping to see what Kai was seeing.
