Kenny gulped as he pushed himself further away from the training room his eyes never leaving the two figures in front of him. "look guys being part of a team means we need to know everything we can about each other right?" the grin on Max's face grew as Kai took a step foreword shaking his head in the negative. "right?"

"Wrong." was the hissed reply from beside him, startled Kenny looked towards the newcomer his face slowly losing all color as he stared into Rei's cold eyes. "right them…" Kenny grunted as he sat up and pushed past the three boys heading down the hallway as quickly as possible in hopes to catch Mr. Dickenson before he left to show him that this team really had become unstable. 'I knew it….' He thought as he skidded down another hallway pushing past a startled Kevin and Mariah 'I knew that they couldn't be trusted after all who in their right mind would ignore all the recognition I deserve, the fact that I made them who they are today!' a smile blossomed on his face a wild look in his eyes. ' I am the sole reason that they are champions and they know it so they want me out of the way…. But their not as smart as I am I will survive while they will fall I will be the one to come out on top in all this and get the recognition that I deserve!' He rounded the corner and stopped dead in his tracks the smile slowly falling off his face as he gazed into the cold eyes of the boy in front of him playing with a knife.

"Kenny, Kenny, Kenny" he sighed as he flipped his navy hair behind his shoulder a bored look on his face "where do you think your going? We have so much to talk about… like revenge." A small smile curved onto his face.

"T-t-tyson… you can't do this I did nothing wrong I have done what needed to be done I showed you all that I am in control of this team and that all of you need to listen to me!" Kenny thrust his laptop out in front of him opening it up quickly the screen reveling detailed charts and notations. "this hear Tyson is the future of bladeing my work into the path of reading bit beasts minds will give the blader more control of the bit beast meaning that they will win more battles and become unstoppable… but you four…. You four…"

"Us four what chief?" came a purred response in his ear, his breath caught slightly as he looked slowly to the side his eye landing on the lounging Max leaning on his shoulder. "we want to know what we did Chief, tell us."

Kenny pursed his lips as he glanced back towards Tyson and then back to Kenny his hands trembling as they tried to keep the laptop up in the air his breathing become labored as he tried to see where Kai and Rei were. "you four…" he bit out "just had to try and stop me from my experiments to make this plan possible, first you said that I couldn't use your blades then you went one step to far and told everyone to say no to me when I asked for their blades… so now all I have left to do to get my way is get a new team that will listen to me… and they will because they know that I was the advisor for the blade breakers… and form them to my will and the added bonus is that when Mr. Dickenson sees what your doing to me he'll take your blades away and give them to the new team and then I can do my experiment on the bits and make the perfect blades…"

~This is…~

" oh and Tyson…" Kenny grinned as he leaned foreword closing his laptop and bringing it down to his knees "I told your Dad where you are"

~My~

Rei lunged foreword wrapping his arm around Kenny's neck while Max twisted his arm forcing to drop his laptop.

~Hidden Mask~

Kai growled as he walked out from behind Kenny and over to Tyson stopped swinging his knife his eyes glued to Kenny's face. "you told that monster where I am?'

~My~

Rei tightened his grip on Kenny's neck as he nodded "someone had to put you in your place…" was the rasped response to the question.

"Do you know what you've done?" yelled Tyson as he charged foreword slamming his fist down on Kenny's shoulder "You put everyone I care about in danger." He slammed his fist into Kenny's chest knocking him back as Max and Rei released him into the wall.

~Reality~

Robert frowned as he watched the man on the wall out front of the kitchen sit staring in the upstairs window. "Security, have you been able to identify this man as of yet?" The head of security shook his head a grim look on his face as he reviewed the footage of the last day " it seems sir that he arrived just before dinner last night and only leaves the gate for a few minutes every couple of hours."

Robert tapped his foot lightly his eyes never leaving the man on the gate as he questioned what to do next. "Send out a few guards to tell him that this is private property, and that he needs to leave or we will have him arrested." The head of security nodded as he picked up the radio to pass on the orders.

Kenny shock his head slowly as he slid down the wall his lips quivering at the dead look in Tyson's eyes. "he offered money to whomever could give him information on where his lost son is and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to get you out of my way…"

Tyson growled as he stomped his foot "you idiot you're the one that hacked my files you should know that my 'father' has already killed and hurt other people to get his hands on me. You of all people should know that he has warrants for his arrest out, and yet all you did was tell him where I was, where all the people that I care about are staying…" He broke of laughing looking away from the boy on the floor in front of him.

Max sighed as he pulled out a small book opening it to a page in the middle " since you gave away all our secrets and you brought danger to us I feel its only fair to let you know that I found out a something that I think you will find… informative.

"Dear Mr. Kenny thank- you for applying to our Beyblade research facility for gifted youngsters we were intrigued by your application and are considering you for admission, at this point I'm sure it is just a formality because all that's left is asking your team mates if they feel that you have what it takes we will get back to you soon."

Rei looked down where Kenny was sitting " I can guarantee you that when they call we will not be giving them a good review for you."

Kenny's face fell.

The practice room was quite as the four boys sat down inside each with grim looks on their faces at the news that Robert had just passed onto them.

'~ Dragoon?~'

'~ Yes Tyson?~'

'~is it him out there?~'

'~Yes…~'

Tyson looked up into Kai's eyes and nodded slowly "its him" Team sighed as they all wondered what the best plan of action was.

" I swore when I was a child that I would kill him."

Silence filled the room as the others let the implications behind the words sink in slowly nods of understanding came from each of the boys.

"is it the right thing to do?"

No one had an answer for the question.

Max quietly went back to his computer checking his e-mail for any news from Merriam. His eyes stopped at an email from the Hitawatri account, he glanced up at Kai and raised his eye brow before opening up the e-mail. His blood ran cold as he took a deep breath in before pushing the laptop to Kai with a quick motion for him to read the note. Kai glance at Max a glint of confusion on his face before he read the e-mail.

Max,

I have been trying to contact you through other e-mails in hope that I could gain your trust another way however I realized that I should just get straight to the point. While I was watching my Grandson and his team blade I noticed that you had a familiar face so I looked into your background and found out that my Son cheated on his wife with another woman, and that woman was your mother. I contacted your Mother with the intention of finding out the truth and learned that you are indeed also my Grandson and I have decided that you should return to your rightful family alongside myself and Kai and do what is best for the family.

Hitawatri

Kai stiffened as he re-read the letter the look in his eyes growing darker ever second until he finally closed the laptop and pushed it away. 'he only wants to claim Max because he is one of the best at blading, If Max had no talent Grandfather would have never gone to this much trouble he would have just done his best to bury the information eve deeper so that no one, would ever learn of this disaster in our family. I can't let Max go to him I wont let what happened to me happen to him I will keep as far away from this family as I possibly can to save him from the pain that comes with this family.'

Max uneasily looked at the frowning continence of the boy in front of him that was actually his half- brother, he could only begin to speculate what was going through the young man in front of him head had he just lost the friendship of one of the few people that he could ever count on because of something out of his control?

Rei and Tyson shared a look at each other before looking back at the two boys beside them. Tyson slowly tapped Max on the arm and Rei gently gained the attention of Kai both giving their two friends concerned looks. Max looked down in shame his face red his hands twisting painfully against each other. Kai looked up and spoke slowly " Max is my half brother."

Max looked up shocked that Kai would admit this out loud, Kai shook his head at the look on Max's face "this is not something that I will ignore I will tell everyone that asks but I wont let grandfather get his hands on you I'm not going to let him hurt the only family that I care about."

Kenny paced around his room a determined look on his face those boys had not won yet, who cares if the scare him, who cares if he just wanted to run and hide, this was not something that he could let pass after all they had just told him that they were going to ruin another perfect opportunity for him and he'll be darned if he was going to let them get away with this. Beside that Tyson had no right to get angry at him for letting his 'concerned' parent know where he is, who care s that said parent wants to kill Tyson and will take out anyone who cares about him at the same time as long as Kenny got to the top who cares about anything else.

The man glanced down and the four bodies around him lying on the ground a smirk on his face 'what kind of idiot sends out guards to a suspicious man with out bullet proof vests' He lowered the gun.

Robert stared in shock at the site before him while the head of security called the cops for back up. He watched as the man began his decent to the house. Things did not look good.
