Authors Note : Well, I have recounted, how many chapters I'm going to do and the estimated answer is about seven. Which I'm actually happy about – as then I can stop for a breather and try and think of a sequel, to this story. Look at me, I'm already trying to make sequels up and I have not even finished this one yet! Oh well, I'll ask at the last chapter if I should do a sequel… On with the story.

Chapter 14

There was a loud thud and shriek, the alarm had went off – and all the three could hear was 'Please evacuate the building.' Kai gulped, and tried to hurry in carrying Tyson. He say Sota stay with him. Even if he was going to, maybe, be killed, he wanted at least his little sister out.

"Sota, go on ahead." He grunted as his broken hand brushed passed a wall. Sota was now walking quickly to keep up, though she could easily outrun the two teens, as they were both hurt and limping slowly down the corridor.

"But-" Sota did not want to leave Kai or Tyson. She had grasped the meaning of death, she knew the feeling of someone lose to her dying, she did know what it felt like to be, alone in a crowd.

"Do as your told!" Kai snapped, he hoped everyone else was out of the building, well maybe not Voltaire and Boris, but they would be long gone by now.

"Okay." Sota agreed, and started to run away from her brother, she sprinted off as fast as she could, she didn't want to leave her brother – but to survive she had to…

Kai, tried to take large and quick steps but it was causing to much for him and, he had to slow back down. He became frustrated and angry at himself and Tyson's weight. Tyson opened his eyes a little, his vision was blurred completely – but he could still make out colours, even if it was obstructed with a horrible yellow and blobs of blue.

"You know you should just leave me here and get out yourself…" His throat was sore, it felt as if he had just swallowed a whole bottle of bleach…

"Tyson, do you think I don't care?" Tyson heard Kai grunt. It annoyed Tyson that he couldn't walk or even make himself a little lighter to lessen the burden.

"No, just you might get out ok, if you just run for it." Tyson was trying to get Kai to leave, Tyson knew, inside him that he would not get out of here alive. Kai had come here for his little sister and she had, ran off towards the exit, which the two of them were still so far away from.

"We still have about ten minutes." Kai turned the corner, it was the beginning of the labyrinth, Kai narrowed his eyes, he could hardly see – it would take them forever to get out. Time was not on their side at the moment.

"This may not be a good time to tell you…" Tyson blinked his eye's hard – his eyelids were growing very heavy, and he did want to stay awake at least he could talk to someone before his end came.

"What?" Kai hissed, he was not enjoying this whatsoever.

"I'm….feel tired." Tyson drifted off into a different world, an endless dream that was so real Tyson felt as if reality was the nightmare.

"Tyson!" Kai called, he looked down at his friend, he could just leave him then, if Tyson woke up – Kai wouldn't feel any guilt.

Of course he would, Kai shook his head, and hobbled along the dark and narrow path of the long and winding maze before him.

The end of the labyrinth neared and Rei, continued to sprint, he noticed someone was coming the opposite way. Rei breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed it was only Adonis.

"Rei, where's Kai? Sota? Tyson?" Adonis asked quickly, he too had heard the siren. Which was not hard as there were surprisingly a speaker in each corner of every wall.

"Their all still back there – we need to get out of here!" Rei gasped for breath, he had ran all the way – which had ended up five wrong ways and having to go back on himself and try and find the right way. Soon another set of footsteps were heard, and Adonis and Rei froze, a small girl came running and screamed the neko-gin's name.

"Rei!" She continued to run until she was facing the way out.

"Sota!" Rei smiled, at least she would be safe. Though if she was here then where were Tyson and Kai?

"Daddy, Tyson's hurt." She sulked, at her dad, she would have been all 'hugs and kisses,' but quiet frankly she didn't want any they seemed so, 'unimportant,' at the moment.

"It's ok, I'll help." Adonis patted her head and looked at Rei who looked, angry.

"There is no way you can get back through the labyrinth and come back in one piece in ten minutes, it'll take you about five just to get through it!" Rei did want Adonis to pull out some magical way of getting Kai and Tyson out in time. Though he was trying to think who he could logically and possibly do it.

"I'll try to add some time onto the timer." Adonis quickly thought, the old man had started this in the emergency control room, maybe he could over-ride it using the main control system.

"Can you do that?" Rei asked, slightly amazed that someone could think of something at a time like this.

"I think I can…" Adonis said quietly, thankfully, Sota had not heard and was still gazing off into the darkness.

"You think!" Rei rose his eyebrows in disagreement. If he couldn't one hundred percent do it, then why should he try and get himself killed. He had a daughter to think about as well!

"Please, take Sota outside… Tell the others to call the emergency services…" Adonis said quickly and turned around, and gave a quick hug to Sota.

"Okay… Come on Sota…" Rei thought it would be easier and quicker if he just carried her, so he quickly picked the little girl up.

"Bye Dad." Sota waved, the image of her dad getting smaller and disappeared into the black mist.

"See you soon." Adonis shouted back – he hoped he could get there in time. If he didn't he would try and make it back out – but nothing was certain.

"Tyson… Why do you have to be so – heavy!" Kai heaved him up again. Tyson had started going in and out of consciousness. Which was worrying Kai even more. If they both did manage, somehow to get out of this place – would Tyson be ok? Or would the poison prove to be to fatal.

Eight minutes remaining, please evacuate the building.

"…We aren't going to get out of here are we…" Tyson muttered, he had heard it over and over again still he could feel Kai trying his hardest to speed up – he really did want Kai just to run and leave him.

The two continued to plod along the strange and confusing ways of the narrow passageways of the labyrinth.

Seven minutes remaining, please evacuate the building.

"If I ever get out here, which will be a miracle… I think…I will…" Tyson sighed, he couldn't go on, he didn't want to go on. He just wanted to not have come here – or to have thought everything out on the attack on Voltaire. If he hadn't been hit by that needle, then he would be able to run… The would all be out of here by now…Tyson again, feel back into his world of happiness and no pain. Where he could just sit and laugh about nothing…

Six minutes remaining, please all personnel evacuate the building.

"I give up… I don't care if I die…" Kai sat down, placing Tyson next to him, making sure h didn't wake up straight a way. If he did he would get a lecture about how he should try and never give up. Quiet frankly Kai had given up a long time ago.

Five minutes remaining, please all personnel evacuate the building.

"… I've killed Tyson too…" Kai thought out loud, it was true he had tried to save his sister and condemned, Tyson… Where was the justice in that? When his grandfather and Boris where possibly away not caring what they had done. It had annoyed Kai to think that someone who had saved his live so easily when they first met – he couldn't return the favour, he couldn't save Tyson.

Four minutes remaining, please all personnel evacuate from the building. As it will self-destruct in three minutes and fifty- three seconds….

"… Idiot…" Tyson muttered, he had heard a brief few words of the cold captain. Which Tyson was thinking, he wasn't really that cold anymore, Kai turned to look at the smaller boy.

"Tyson?" Kai asked, seeing if he was awake or if he had just gone back to 'dream world' again.

"Come on… we can…still make it…" Tyson muttered, Kai didn't want to hear those words, why did he stay positive? It was just confusing Kai…

"No we won't…" Kai answered back, a strange tone, Tyson thought he heard Kai choke back a whimper. Which was not something either of them thought they would ever hear.

"Kai…" Tyson was trying very hard to keep his eyes open, so at least he could talk to someone before his end came.

"What." Kai said, his voice composed itself once again showing no emotion, no fear.

"You wouldn't die…" Tyson thought he could maybe persuade Kai to run for it and leave him there, he still had a few minutes left – he would be able to get out of this place if he just ran.

"It's the end Tyson face it. For the both of us." Kai stated, he had brought his legs up close to his chest, he liked dark places to cry…

"You could leave… Go now – just run." Tyson egged his friend on, he begged him, even his mind began to shout 'Run!'

"No, Tyson." Kai stated, still he did not budge to run.

"Why… not?" Tyson voice became strained and the last few words Tyson heard before he blacked out again was,

"Shut up Tyson. You wouldn't leave me if I were you."

Rei came out of the trapdoor, and sprinted over to were Kenny and Man were hiding, he placed Sota down.

"What! Are you serious!" Max yelled, he couldn't believe the place would blow up – and with Tyson and Kai still inside.

"Yeah now hurry up Kenny, send them an e-mail or something!" Rei frantically thought of ways they could get help, maybe save Kai and Tyson what if Adonis didn't make it out either?

"Okay, okay – what do I say." Kenny had opened up a blank e-mail, but he couldn't exactly say that some maniac had decided to blow up the building. 'Cause they were going to create some perfect soldiers in it, but their Grandson and friends had spoiled it. As The man had kidnapped his little sister and used her as bait.

"Just say that the factory is on fire!" Rei yelled, he really didn't like fire, not large amounts anyway…

"But Rei, it's not…" Max mumbled, unsure of why Rei was saying things like that – maybe the blader had went insane.

"So by the time they get here, it will be, we are like four miles away from any fire station!" Rei was in panic mode, he wished Kai was here, he could stay calm, or Adonis, he looked to have stayed calm…All but him stayed calm.

"Calm down. I'm typing!" Kenny's fingers had never in their short stubby lives typed so fast, and with out any errors. Once Kenny sent it, all they could do was wait and hope.

"Do you think they all will get out in time?" Kenny looked at the blonde and the raven haired boy, each of their faces showing worry.
"Yeah, they have to…" Max whispered, he really did hope that Adonis's plan would work…

Kai had watched Tyson for a few minutes making sure he had been asleep and began talking to himself, although Tyson had been woken up by his none stop gibbering…

"God damn it…" Kai punched the wall with his injured hand, it didn't give him as much pain as he was mentally having about the fact he was going to die young.

"What?" Tyson tried to move but, just as Voltaire had promised his body was crippled with pain Tyson had never knew.

"I thought you were asleep." Kai quickly said, making sure, Tyson wouldn't start teasing him for talking to himself.

"Me, I'm waiting until you start crying…" Tyson smiled, as he heard Kai grunt.

"Aha you're very funny…" Kai rolled his eyes. He realised that Tyson so how made things a little easier to accept – not a lot, just a little.

"What's wrong with crying…" Tyson muttered, he too wanted to start bawling like a baby – but as Kai was there his own pride, was holding him back.

"Tyson…" Kai said, after a long silence, there was no tension where they had sat – nothing mattered anymore.

"Hmm…"
"Sorry I couldn't help you get out in time." Kai really did feel sorry for Tyson, he hadn't seen a lot of life. Kai had seen things just not experienced them himself…

"Well, Kai… If we do get out of here…. You owe me one million hamburgers, then I'll forgive you." Kai smiled at he remark, and so did Tyson.

"Whatever."

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in three seconds.

"Well, Bye Hiwatari." Tyson tried to move his hand to pat his friend on the back, but he couldn't move, he closed his eyes, staying awake until the counter reached nothing.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in two seconds.

"Bye Granger." Kai closed his eyes, it was over, everything that he had even dared to face, or even what he survived, was for nothing.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in one seconds.

The two boys said there, Kai and Tyson held their breath. It would happen in one second, one little second would end their lives.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in twenty minutes.

The boys didn't hear that right – surely not, Kai and Tyson opened their eyes, they were still there, and that was not so bad for hell and it was not so good for heaven. They were still alive!

"What happened?" Tyson asked, wondering if it was hell – and maybe he would be alone… Then again maybe not, he could still hear the robotic voice drone on.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in nineteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds.

"I don't know but, let's go." Kai noticed it was taken longer than one second, for a second of the computer to pass by. Whatever had happened, it gave them a small chance to get out. Alive.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in nineteen minutes and fifty-eight seconds.

"See, God can't live without me." Tyson smirked, as he tried move, and help Kai, lift him up.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in nineteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds.

"I could put up with less of that for a while." Kai muttered, and continued to limp and drag Tyson to the exit.

Please evacuate the building, self-destruct in nineteen minutes and fifty-six seconds.

"There's Adonis…" Max pointed and Rei and Kenny spun round, to see the man, a little out of breath.

"Has Kai and Tyson came out yet?" He quickly asked, though he did not need an answer as he couldn't see them anywhere.

"No, did you manage to add time on?" Rei quickly asked, though it did seem that Adonis had a small smile of some small amount of hope.

"Yes, but only twenty minutes…." Adonis said, in a defeated voice.

"Maybe that's enough time." Max trying to stay positive, but even for him he was finding it hard.

"I hope so." Kenny muttered.

They had talked about, why they couldn't have went in and looked for the two boys themselves but that came up impossible as the Abbey was to large. They could have easily lost themselves in the maze of corridors and passageways.

The four of them, Sota, Adonis, Kenny and Rei had just sat and hoped, wanting to go in, but being held back by everyone else.

"Look!" Kenny pointed again, and the group could see a silhouette of the two boys coming out of the old factory, the small group yelled and screamed. They were out, they were ok.

"TYSON! KAI!"

"Brother!" Before anyone could stop her, Sota was running towards Kai and Tyson.

No one saw it happening, it just happened, first relief and happiness were the feelings that filled everyone, everyone forgot.

Sota had came up to Kai, hoping that she could get a hug off him, he, himself was only a few feet away from the factory. Everyone seemed to forget the important factor that it was about to blow up.

The factory exploded behind them all, shocking everyone. The noise caused Rei to wince in pain, as his super-sensitive ears almost burst. Tyson, Kai and unfortunately Kai's little sister was hit by the large blast of the factory. Kai, Tyson and Sota were propelled forwards landing and being dragged across the ground by the energy of the blast.

Thick, black smoke began to cover the sky, red and amber flames coloured the faces of the people below it, watching in horror.

The factory was burnt, the old roof, caved in as if it were sticks, large crashing noises were heard.

Sota landed on her back as she held her arms in front of her face, she might not get burned, she hoped. Tyson and Kai and landed side by side both unconscious. The large flames pushing outwards trying desperately to catch someone in its fiery claws. The group hid behind discarded transport boxes, which gave them some shelter form, the heat that was blasted into their faces. The light that had embedded off of the explosion had blinded most of them for a few seconds, they all attempted to cover their faces and close their eyes.

Once the group had come to their senses, they ran to help the injured. Adonis ran over to Sota first as she had been hit face first by the fire, other than the two boys that got hit in the back. Surprisingly she was not bleeding, heavily, that though did not worry Adonis. It was Sota's breathing problems that had worried him the most.

"SOTA, KAI!" Adonis yelled, as he ran over to his fallen children.

"OH MY GOD, TYSON, KAI!" The BladeBreakers ran over to their fallen team-mates.
