"Who's Vladimir?" Ray asked.
"He's an ally of Relane." Hilary sighed.
"Great. More Relane stuff! I thought we were done with it two years ago!" Tyson groaned.
"He must've heard how we and Hilary took down the Tsurugi Monastery." Max began.
"And now he wants revenge." Kenny added.
"You got it." Hilary nodded.
"But why would he kidnap Kai?" Lily asked.
"He knows that he's in a loving relationship." Ray replied.
Unlike some people Hilary thought.
"And also because he knows that Hilary will do everything she can to get Kai back." Max added.
"Yeah, but still, why can't we come with you?" Tyson asked.
"It's...personal." Hilary replied quietly. She went to leave.
Suddenly, she collapsed. Using her powers so harshly had weakened her.
The next morning at the crack of dawn, Hilary woke up. Pulling on her clothes, she decided to try contacting Kai with her telekinesis.
"Hilary, is that you?" Kai's voice asked.
"Yeah, it's me. Are you OK?" she replied.
"I-I think so. What about you?"
"I managed to get the bullet out. I'm fine. Where are you?"
"I'm in some car. I don't know where it's going..."
"Don't worry. I'm coming to get you."
"Hurry, Hi-" he began. He'd been cut off before he could finish his sentence. Lily had woken up too. The girls set off to rescue Kai.
Hang in there, Kai! I'm on my way! Hilary thought.
Tyson was loudly snoring, when Ray and Kenny came into the room. They looked alarmed about something.
"Guys, get up!" Ray cried.
"Five more minutes..."Tyson mumbled.
"What is it?" Max asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Hilary and Lily are gone!" Kenny announced.
"What?" Max exclaimed, sitting up.
"Yeah, both of their beds are empty." Ray replied.
"They've gone to get Kai back! We've gotta go after them!" Kenny exclaimed.
"Then why're we still blabbing here then?" Tyson asked, just pulling on his clothes.
"Lil's gonna get some talking to when we see them!" he added. He'd still hadn't forgiven her for their argument.
