Here is the next chapter! Sorry it took so long but I haven't had internet for a while now and had my dissertation to do; but that all over now. I just want to thank everyone who has read my fic and reviewed I welcome all reviews except flames...Please read and review!

It had been several hours since Kai's accident and they continued towards their goal; to get help for the others waiting for them. There pace had been slowed to allow Bryan to carry Kai comfortably without wearing him out to quick.

Throughout the trip after his injury; Kai felt guilty about having Bryan carry him. He knew that he wasn't that heavy but he wasn't light either. He knew Bryan was starting to struggle to keep the pace that they were going at even though it had been slowed down.

He knew they should have left him so they could help the others.

But his brothers weren't having it. They would never willingly abandon their little brother even if it meant that their pace was slowed dramatically.

As they continued onwards they came across a deep patch of snow and with Bryan's added weight that he had to carry he tripped in the snow. The largest of the trio collapsed to the ground and struggled to heave himself out of the snow.

"Tala a little help here" Tala rushed back to pull Kai from Bryan's back and by his scruff managed to drag him across the patch of deep snow that was causing them all this hassle.

With Kai off his back Bryan managed to pull himself free and cross the patch safely as well.

"Thanks Tala; just give me a minute to catch my breath"

Kai lay on the snow next to Tala as they settled down for a short break. The youngest of the trio was feeling so guilty for the burden he was causing. He knew his brothers would deny that fact but they were slowed down because of his injury and the others needed them to move as quickly as possible to get help for them.

The others could sense the aura coming from Kai.

Tala moved over and gave Kai a little nuzzle. "Howz your leg feeling now?"

"Still sore and stiff" Was Kai's answer. "I'm sorry it's my fault we're behind"

"Not this again" Tala was really sick of Kai apologising for something that wasn't his fault and they couldn't leave him behind.

"I'm slowing us down and the others need help fast" Kai was desperate he needed his brothers to see that he was right and that leaving him behind was the best thing they could do. "Just leave me behind and rescue the others; you need to leave me behind"

"But Kai we can't leave you behind like this you'll never survive out here with a busted leg!"

Kai knew that he was asking his brothers a lot but it had to be done. Sacrifice one for the sake of many; it had to be. "The others are more important than one life...just please go"

Tala and Bryan were not happy about leaving Kai behind at all; but their resolve was that they would return for him. "There's a cave nearby we'll get you there"

Both Tala and Bryan managed to get Kai to the small cave nearby and settled him in there. Both older wolves nuzzled Kai affectionately because this might be the last time they see him.

"Now you stay here and we'll come back for you ok" Kai knew there was a high chance that he wouldn't survive but he nodded all the same.

"Before you go...tell Miguel I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to him and tell him I love him ok"

Both older wolves nodded and turned to leave the cave leaving Kai all alone on the tundra of Russia. The two older wolves sped up to get to their destination faster and hopefully rescue everyone.

Meanwhile sitting in an airport were the other teams and managers that were expecting the teams back from Russia. Mr Dickenson was waiting for news about the flight that his bladers were on; the respective families were waiting for their children to return. King was waiting for Tala to return to him and he would never let him leave his side again.

"What do you think is taking them so long?" Hiro asked no one in particular; he was worried about his little brother and the teams. They should have been there by now.

The people at the airport told them that there was a delay in communication due to the weather out there and they could do nothing until it was cleared.

"I don't know Hiro but I'm sure they're alright" Max's Father announced. "I mean they were probably delayed and I'm sure the boys are fine"

Tyson and Hiro's Grandfather slapped his Grandson's back affectionately. "I'm sure the little hommies are fine and dandy so doesn't sweat about it, Ya dig?"

Just at that moment Mr Dickenson returned to the group; his face laced with worry. "I'm afraid I have bad news...the plane the teams were on has dropped off the radar and has been officially declared missing"

"WHAT!" They all screamed.

Missing?

Dropped off the radar?

"Where are our children then?" Judy screamed out; she was worried about her son.

Mr Dickenson shook his head. "They currently have no idea; they fell off the radar across the Russian tundra "He was just as worried about the missing teams as the others were. "I've been assured that they are doing the best they can to find the plane"

That's the end of the chapter. Kai has been left behind in a cave to ensure that his brothers get help for the others. Also the people back at home have been told that the flight with the teams on has been declared missing. What do you think?
