DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. THIS IS JUST A FAN-MADE STORY!

Kai was lying on the stiff bench in his cell. His wounds stung painfully, but at least they were leaving him alone due to his injuries.

He missed his father, he wanted him to visit him again. Perhaps he would find a chance to slip in beside him later on in the day.

Dad...mum...Tyson...Max...Ray, he thought, savouring the bittersweet names in his head. How he wished he could escape, but if they were caught they were done for...all of them...

~~Flashback~~

Kai sat in his room in the abbey. He couldn't get it out of his head. The power, the way it shredded the other beyblades as though they were made of paper.

Such power...

He had to try it, he could contain his curiosity no longer.

Jumping down from his bed, he left his room quietly and made his way towards the training room. Before entering, he glimpsed around to make sure that no one was watching, then smashed the glass separating the large Beystadium from the training room and dropped lightly inside. He ran towards the massive launchers and almost instantly spotted the black beyblade. Excitedly he ran towards it, and reached up with his tiny hands to try and get it down. After a few twists, he succeeded, and gazed in awe at the shining black beyblade in the palms of his hands.

Black Dranzer...

Loading it inside his launcher, he ripped the cord...and then everything went out of control.

Before he knew it...half the place was in ruins...

The guards and the other children crowded around him, wondering what could have happened. Boris soon appeared, and spotted the evidence near Kai's feet.

"For causing this chaos...and with a beyblade you had no permission to use...you will be severely punished," Boris had said.

Three men had advanced on Kai and began dragging him by the wrists out of the room. Kai kicked and screamed, begging for mercy while the other children cowered. Kai had been dragged to a stony hall and chained to the wall. They had tortured him for hours, his blood-curling screams echoing through the evil prison. They whipped him, electrified him, launched beyblades spiked with talons to tear through his tender skin, beat him up, dug shurikens inside his back and wheeled them through his skin, until he fell unconscious.

That night he was thrown out, left to freeze in the frosty snow. But luckily he had been found before his life could leave him, and was taken to hospital. After 5 months of intensive care, Kai had left and lived off blading in the streets...

~~End Flashback~~

Now he stared up at the roof, a hopeless look on his beautiful face. He still wore the unwanted scars on his back and chest...

But those were not the only scars that had never left him...because his mind was the most scarred of all...
