Now on to chapter 4!

As the day dragged on, the thinner Kai's patience became. It seemed whenever he was finished with one stack of paper work, another seemed to take its place and his phone. Was. Constantly. RINGING! One of his undercover employees discovered that his grandfather had another abbey-like facility right here in Japan. At the moment he was trying to find out the exact location of the building. If his Grandfather wasn't rotting in a high-security prison cell, Kai would happily kill the bastard. He ran a hand through his hair. This was total bullshit.

His secretary's voice broke into his thoughts. "Sir! You can't go in there!"

"Watch me!" came Tyson's voice as the double oak doors to his office were blown right open. "Hi Kai!"

"Kinomiya." he nodded. Said boy held up what Kai assumed to be coffee and bagels, the CEO gave a simple nod and Tyson took a seat.

"I'm so sorry sir!" his scrawny, balding secretary appeared in the doorway.

"Kagouchi, this is an acquaintance of mine. Unless I'm in a meeting, let him in." Kai casually took a sip of his coffee.

"Ah. Right sir. Sorry sir." the man slunked back to his desk.

Kai unwrapped his blueberry bagel and he realized he hadn't eaten anything since the previous morning when Tyson made him toast. At once he began feeling better, the caffeine soothing the headache that had been ailing him behind his eyes.

Hold on...since when did Tyson sooth his headaches instead of create them?

"Something's bothering you." Tyson stated.

"Hn?" for some reason his heart started beating faster.

"You keep looking at the phone, and you kinda look like you have seen a ghost. Something happen?"

...Since when did the teenager get so damn observant? Well since he knew most of the damn story anyways... "We found another abbey here in Japan. Same premise, taking in talented beybladers and using them for their own experiments and turning them into soldiers. This time they've covered their tracks pretty well, so we're having a hard time finding the stupid place." He glanced at the phone again, glaring at it.

Brown eyes narrowed dangerously. "Oh man. So some sickos are using kids as lab-rats? How many places could even hide a full-out lab like that? I mean the abbey kinda stuck out like a sore thumb." he took a bite from his chocolate-chip bagel, crumbs flying everywhere. "Any chance they changed the name?"

Kai's eyes lit up in realization. "Or maybe the lab is the front." he started furiously typing. Tyson got up and ran around the large desk to take a look at the screen, leaning over the billionaire's shoulder.

Kai searched all medical and engineering labs against all beyblade centres. Several results popped up, with the name "Tovi Lob" as a sponsor. The man let out several curses in Russian.

Confused, Tyson asked. "What's the deal?"

"There isn't just one. Tovi Lob is looking around the country for bladers."

"What's so special about Tovi Lob?"

Look at the letters. It's an anagram for BioVolt."

Shivers run up Tyson's spine. "Oh." he looked at the results. "Fifteen different places?!"

"We need to figure out which one is headquarters, or else all of them will shut-down and their leader will escape." pulling out his cellphone he dialled a number and held it up to his ear.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Calling the only person in the company who I can trust with this." the phone rang twice.

"What is it?" came the bored voice of the Russian.

"Tala, BioVolt is still active." Kai said in Russian.

"Shit. What do you need?" asked Tala switching to Japanese, so anyone eavesdropping wouldn't be able to understand.

"I need you to find out whatever you can about a company called 'Tovi Lob'."

Tala's voice became still and professional. "I'm sorry Alexander, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. I'll get back to you when I can." the line went dead.

Kai's heart raced. He got the message loud and clear: They're here.

If they were there, it was possible that they had somehow infiltrated Hiwatari Enterprises here in Japan as well. Cerise eyes widened. The security guards who had turned on him...

He locked eyes with Tyson. "We need to get out of here, right now. I'll explain later." Understanding, Tyson stood up calmly and locked the door, then put his chair underneath the handle, while Kai opened the window and jumped to the fire escape that was 3 ft away with ease. Tyson followed and together they made their way down the stairs.

"Now what, Kai?" the older said nothing but went to the nearest ATM and took out a thick wad of hundred dollar bills.

"I won't be able to access my account or use my bank card for the next bit. They'll either figure out how to freeze my accounts or track me by my transactions." he explained.

"So I'm guessing you need to find a place to hide?" Kai nodded. "Alright, let's head back to your place so you can grab your stuff."

They walked back to Kai's apartment (as Kai had walked to work that morning) and Kai disappeared into his room. Tyson was left to his own devices, which in this case meant playing with Kouken. When the bedroom door had finally opened, the bluenette was left speechless; There stood the Mighty Kai Hiwatari that he had come to respect and many feared. His face donned the iconic blue shark fins, a plum-purple t-shirt and vest hugged his torso, his legs clad in dark violet pants, the bottoms were tucked into his boots and a long white scarf flowed freely behind him.

"You're officially on a war path, aren't you?" Tyson mused.

"Well someone has to be." he stated.

Tyson gave him one of his signature championship smiles. "Well you know I'm behind you 100% of the way buddy!"

"Hn. Grab a kitten."

When Grandpa Kinomiya opened the door, he was not expecting to find his grandson and Kai, their arms full of newborn kittens wrapped in blankets on his front doorstep with two other cats en-tow, but welcomed them all in regardless. Behind them he could see what he assumed to be Kai's Lamborghini in the driveway. Once the cats were settled, Kai sat them both down and told them everything.

"So let me see if I have this shindig straight now: BioVolt is back under the name Tovi Lob. Tala, your homie that is from the Blizkrieg boys, who is also the vice-president of Hiwatari Industries and director of your company unit that is in Russia; he more or less told you that Tovi Lob employees have or might be trying to infiltrate the company in Russia. You strongly suspect that there are people within the company here in Japan who are working for them after your own security guards attacked you. They might try to take you down so they can take control of the company. And right now you need to hack into your own company files to figure out where Tovi Lob headquarters is so you can take them down and regain control of your company?"

Kai sat with his legs crossed and his arms folded. "Pretty much."

"Gotta say life is always interesting with you homies around. Stay as long as you need to K-man! You and your furry friends should make themselves right at home." He caught the young man's appreciative gaze.

The younger Kinomiya stretched. "We'll call the Chief in the morning. I'm starving!" The old man just laughed, loving the way his grandson could find some kind of normalcy no matter the situation.

Later that night, Kai was beating himself up.

His protective instincts were at war with themselves. One side told him that he should run, stay away from anyone he ever cared about and deal with this on his own. The other side was telling him to stay; so he could personally watch over everyone, and this side his heart agreed with it. Both sides argued back and forth until his brain had enough and told everything to shut-up so he could sleep. Soon the dulled sounds of Tyson snoring from the next room over and the heart-warming sounds of purring dragged him into the world of nothingness.

~Dream~

He was running. The thick fog made it impossible to see and the frosty air burned his lungs. He heard Tyson's voice "Kai, come on buddy! Let's have a match!" but he couldn't see him. He ran through the fog, trying to find him when something latched onto his shoulder and held him back.

"Oh no, Young Kai. You're not getting away that easily!" his body became immobilized.

That voice! I-it couldn't be. He turned and came face to face with the man responsible for all his years of suffering... Boris. "I know you, Kai. You crave power. Absolute power." his sickly sweet voice sent shiver's up the pale boy's spine.

"Kai! Don't listen to him!" the angelic voice of Tyson cried. "You have power! You are one of the most powerful bladers in the world!"

"Hmm, yes but you can't beat him." came Boris' slimy remark. "Not without Black Dranzer of course."

Kai found himself laughing. "Really Boris? Black Dranzer?"

The dream morphed and he found Boris standing before him and Tyson next to him. "If I cannot beat Tyson and Dragoon with my own power, then I do not deserve to be called a blader."

This made Boris angry. "Find then! If you will not come willingly, then I will just have to take you!" his arm reached out but seemed to hit an invisible barrier. Kai could feel the comforting warmth of his bitbeast embracing him.

"What's this?!" shouted the old man angrily.

Kai smirked. "This is the power of my Dranzer." he turned around. "Now get the hell out of here Boris."

The dream morphed again and he was standing before his Grandfather. "I'm disappointed in you Kai. You were the one who was going to be the Conqueror of Bitbeasts and together we were supposed to rule the world!"

Saying nothing, Kai just walked right through him, walking into the light.

He found himself sitting upright in bed in a room that was unfamiliar to him. A ray of sunlight poured through the crack in the curtain, illuminating the very bare room. He found feel Dranzer's warmth in his hand. He looked at his beyblade and a small smile graced his lips. "Don't worry, I'm not giving you up ever again." The object glowed in response. "And I'm not giving up him either."

"Meow."

He looked up to see Meko jump on his bed, he smiled softly and scratched her behind his ear. "Feeling any better?" She rubbed her forehead against his palm, her fever was completely gone, the medicine was indeed working. "Shouldn't you be with your little ones?" he questioned. The feline simply nodded towards her bed where her mate had all seven newborns nestled against his body, with his tail curled around them protectively. Kai chuckled. "You have him so whipped." The black cat purred in agreement.

The pair just sat there for awhile. Mama enjoying a break from being a furry milk sack with a heating system and Kai not letting the weight of the world get to him for the moment, listening to Tyson's light snores through the wall.

"Mew. Mew. Mew. Mew." All the kittens were up now and demanding food. The slate haired blader watched in amusement as his furry friend rolled her eyes, reluctantly got off the bed and walked back to the family nest so the fuzzy little beasties could latch onto her swollen nipples.

Deciding this was a good time to get up he got out of bed and as he opened the door, a certain ginger tabby followed him out. His socked feet padded almost soundlessly against the hardwood floors as he walked down the hallway towards the kitchen, where he found Gramps sipping his morning tea. "Good morning K-man! Did ya sleep okay with all those little ones?"

Giving a wry smile he deadpanned, "Still quieter than Tyson." he started making tea for himself and looked at the time. 7:30am. He pulled out his phone and e-mailed Kenny, telling him to get his ass over, before throwing a blueberry bagel in the toaster.

Kouken jumped up on Gramps lap and purred loudly. "Hey there little dude." the old man scratched the cat affectionately.

Roughly 10 minutes later, Kenny came in panting, his laptop clutched under his arm tightly and his chestnut hair in a disarray. "Where's. The. Fire?"

Kai frowned and made a mental note to make Kenny do more laps. "I need you to hack into Hiwatari Enterprises."

"I'll leave you lil dudes be." said Gramps as he got up and left the room.

"Ugh. Why do I have a feeling this is more than a security check?" he sat down at the table and started his laptop. "Am I getting any help with passwords?"

"A-C-C-E-S-S-D-E-N-I-E-D"

Kenny paused. "That's brilliant."

"I know." came the smug remark. "Search up financial records for anything related to 'Tovi Lob.'" Results flooded the screen. "Quickly save it!"

"Way ahead of you, Kai." he pointed at the stick in the USB drive. "Every move I make is being automatically saved to this little baby."

"Hn. Who are the biggest fish?"

"From what I can tell is the main three locations where Hiwatari Industries is pouring the most money into is a Tovi Lob centred in Russia, a Tovi Lob centred in America and a Tovi Lob centred here in Japan." he pointed to each.

Kai tensed. So his company was funding the new BioVolt, right under his nose. This meant that the rats were a lot deeper than he expected. "Can you get me their addresses?"

"I can get you the addresses of the company and every single employee."

Kai's eye twitched. This seemed a little too easy. "Are there any independent sources that are either funding them or being funded by them?"

"Vladimir Kusenov ring any bells?". Kenny watched as his strong, fearless friend started trembling, losing all color in his already pale face. "Kai?"

"He's Boris' and my Grandfather's lawyer." He drew a breath. "He's a twisted psychopath."

Deciding to do a quick search, Kenny's own face paled. "Ex-general is dishonourably discharged after being called 'too brutal' by peers. Wow. There's a list of his crimes a mile long!"

"He loves war. Loves causing people pain and suffering." Kai said darkly.

"Alright, so what do we do?"

"Hit the main headquarters and Kusenov at the same time."

Bewildered, Kenny looked at his former captain as if he had grown a second head. "And how do you intend to be in four places at once?" But Kai had already left the kitchen, stalking directly into Tyson's room. Five minutes later he emerged with Tyson's sleeping form draped over his right shoulder and 2 large duffel bags over his left shoulder, with his car keys in his left hand. "We're leaving."

Knowing that the enigma would give no answers until he was damn well ready to, the genius packed up his laptop and followed. He watched the Russian throw the bags into the trunk and gently place Tyson in the front seat, going as far to do up the world champion's seat belt. Kenny quickly climbed into the backseat and just managed to strap himself in before Kai sped off like a bat out of hell.

Tyson awoke in just his yellow nightshirt and boxers in the front seat of his best friend's Lamborghini, with his rival driving like he was in the middle of GTA V. His body was violently thrown to the left as they turned a corner sharply. "What the hell is going on?!" He screamed.

"Just trust me."

Honey-brown eyes looked at his friend. Those crimson eyes held that gleam, that determined look, which meant he had a plan. "Alright, but I want an explanation at some point."

"Hn." Kai shifted gears and the car sped up, and Tyson noticed they were on the highway headed out of the city. Bored, he turned of the stereo and Escape the Fate's 'One for the Money' blasted through the speakers.

About an hour later the trio stood on the tarmac looking up at a giant shiny aircraft. "This is yours?!" Kenny and Tyson exclaimed in unison, mouths hanging open as they looked at the 80ft long metal beast.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." Kai walked past them and walked up the steps. Behind him he heard Tyson say "HOW DO I KEEP FORGETTING YOU'RE A GILLIONAIRE?!"

When Kenny realized that it was only himself and Tyson seated in the fuselage did he ask "Wait, whose the pilot?"

A second later Kai's voice came over the intercom. "Hello and Welcome to Hiwatari Airlines. You are flying with Dranzer 2000 today and I will be your pilot. We will be flying several thousand feet in the air and all whiners will be thrown out the nearest window at my earliest convenience. It is highly recommended all passengers be seated and buckled during our 10 hour flight to Russia." The main thrusters activated and they slowly ascended into the blue skies. As soon as the seat belt light went off though, the baseball-capped teen jumped out of his seat.

"Wait Tyson! I don't think he wants to be disturbed."

Said teen gave his friend his trademark grin. "Don't worry chief! All I'm going to do is talk to the guy!"

"But Kai isn't the most talkative person. He has that psychotic look in his eye." He shivered, holding his laptop to his chest for comfort.

"Exactly." leaving the boy-genius in a state of confusion, Tyson ran up to the cockpit door and knocked gently.

"What is it Kinomiya?"

Taking the response as an invitation, he let himself in and sat in the empty co-pilot chair and leaned back. "Well aren't you full of surprises?"

"Hn." Crimson eyes were focused on the skies and he pressed a button on the control panel.

"So you wanna catch me up on how exactly we're going to save the world this time?"

"Take the fight to BioVolt."

"Care to explain that, Mr. Know-it-all?"

The pilot shook his head. "I can't yet."

Tyson folded his arms over his chest. "Ok, how about me waking up in your car with you driving like a madman?"

Kai's lips curved slightly upwards. "I'm trying to make it look like I'm cutting loose and we're on a strict time-line. I need to be at work by Monday morning so they don't catch on to my real plan."

"And by 'they' you mean the insane people running Tovi Lob. Why? Think that they are watching you or something?" Mahogany eyes looked around the cockpit suspiciously.

"My cellphone records, financial transactions. They'll most likely send people to tail me after this weekend, so I have less than 48 hours to get everything in place." he could feel the bluenette's worried gaze on him.

"Have you heard back from Tala?" the teenager asked solemnly.

Kai tensed. "No."

"Is this a rescue mission?!"

The older blader smirked, his rival was getting damn perceptive.

There we go, the plot is set in motion. Feel free to message me if you are confused about anything! Over the next few chapters things will happen quite quickly.

Basic rundown is that Kai has figured out that Hiwatari Industries has been infiltrated by BioVolt/ Tovi Lob. Their leader is Vladimir Kusenov. And he is on his way to rescue Tala.

The reason why he doesn't leave and do this on his own and brought Tyson with him? After his dream, he's realized how much he needs Tyson and doesn't want to abandon him in case Tovi Lob decides to come after Tyson while he's gone.
