Voltaire stared at the brave young boy as if he were crazy. Realising what had just happened, he kicked the duo haired rebellion in the ribs and various other parts until he was barely conscious. Then, noticing how weak the blader would be, picked him and dragged him off to the cells that were really as small as rat cages.

The other prisoners looked out from where they were thrown in to see who the poor boy was. Some gasped as they recognised Kai, and others just smirked.

Kai was flung into the worst cell on the abbey's site. He crawled into a corner and fell unconscious almost immediately.

Ray was starting to get bored with just lying in his bed and walked awkwardly to the window. He opened it and climbed carefully onto the windowsill. With the cat like precision that Kai had used on that day 3 year ago, Ray jumped from the window and landed with his knees bent slightly from the impact.

Limping slightly, Ray started to make his way to the cemetery where Kai's memorial stone lay with the words 'You may have been cold to us, but you helped us in our dire time of need and showed us things no one knew, in loving memory of Kai Hiwatari' engraved on it.

A tear welled up in his eye and he wiped it away thinking that Kai wouldn't want him to cry over his 'death'. He sighed. He was still a bit weak from the loss of blood, and needed to get back to the hospital before he collapsed.

Slowly making his way back he started to think of places that Kai could be, If he was still alive that is of course.

Ray's POV

All those years ago, he was chased by Voltaire's minions, where would they take him? The Abbey was the most obvious place, but we had searched it and only found Kai's beyblade out side. It was mangled beyond belief, but we all realised that the burnt blade was his famous Dranzer. Everyone was shocked at this, but we had searched the buildings and found nothing.

Well, it's going to be hard, but we will find him.

DRANZER! THAT'S IT! When I went to that place where Driger was, it must have been Dranzer there. If she's there, then she must still be in the beyblade.but do I still have it?

End POV

Kai shivered uncontrollably. The small cell had no window, and was freezing cold, with an old crumbling pipe overhead that was leaking. Suddenly it clicked. He could still reach his soul mate.if she was still alive. As he searched inside himself, he met a small energy that was so small that anyone else would have gone straight past it.

Concentrating all his energy on it, the small fire grew a minute bit. Kai ignored his pain and his surroundings just to help the flame.

Ray searched his pockets desperately until his hand brushed against a small metal object. Hesitantly he withdrew it from his pocket. The others didn't know that he had Dranzer with him and was planning to let her go at his attempt at death.

As he watched it carefully, the bit-chip glowed a quick flash of red, which was barely see-able in the mass of melted blade. As quick as it came, the glow disappeared. Ray stood there for some time hoping the bit beast would send a sign of life again.

After about half an hour of just standing there and watching, he gave up hope and thought it was just his imagination.

The flame had started to grow smaller as it slipped from Kai's grasp, but he held on and eventually it stopped shrinking.

Ray hobbled back to under the window he had jumped from and leapt back up with ease. Having to be a neko-jin wasn't all that bad.

As he climbed into his room, he found all the other Bladebreakers in his room staring at him as though he was mad. He made his way back to his bed pretending nothing had happened. He still felt unnerved that they were staring at him, finally, he spoke up.

"I have an idea to find Kai" He announced in a very quiet voice, they all thought he was unstable and probably didn't believe him. "Will you guys listen?"

"Okay" Max was the first to answer.

Voltaire came back to the cell to find that Kai was still rolled in a ball like he had left him. Enraged at this lack of respect, Voltaire kicked him in the ribs. There was no reaction from the beaten up boy. So he dragged Kai to the training room instead.

Inside, the flames flickered slightly as Voltaire unnerved and broke Kai's concentration. He slowly opened his eyes, still feeding the fire and looked up at his grandfather.

"You are lucky boy, that I have an important mission for you, or you would have your training tripled today." He told Kai without even turning to the limp body he was carrying.

"Kai's blade. I want to prove that I'm not mad, as well as proving that Kai is still alive." Slowly, Ray pulled out the beyblade and everyone gasped at him.

"You will destroy the Bladebreakers once and for all" Kai eyes widened and he freely gasped at the old but strong man standing beside him.

Ray continued ignoring the other's reactions once more.

"I want Dizzi to hook up to it." Kenny understood and silently took the blade and hooked Dizzi up to the bit-chip.

The flame was dying, but Kai concentrated even harder on it (If that's even possible ^__^).

There was a big flash and Dizzi shut down from the power surge of Dranzer and Ray ran over to cradle the beyblade.

Suddenly the flame lit up dangerously for a minute or two, then disappeared to a small spark that looked hopeless.

The glow flashed once more, and once again disappeared as quickly as it had come. As Ray sat down on the hospital bed, Kenny turned Dizzi on and gasped as he read what her screen had said.

"Hey guys" Kenny shouted at them, a smile breaking on his now handsome features. In the past 3 years, they had all grown, but Kenny had the most, he had become tall, his hair was a darker shade of brown and you could see his sky blue eyes now, obviously not wearing glasses anymore.

Dizzi's voice started to whisper to Kenny who turned to the others.

"Just before I shut down, I saw Dranzer, who has a little bit of life left in her. She said that Kai needed help, and then I short circuited." If Dizzi had had a face, she would have been beaming away.

"You guys know what that means, Kai is alive!" Ray and Kenny shouted together.

Kai was locked in chains around his legs, waist, arms and neck. The Demolition boys (Tala, Bryan, Spencer and Ian) stood watching Voltaire lock Kai up with the help of Boris.

Kai didn't look up, but concentrated on the spark.

Out of the D boys, Tala was the most surprised at the fact that Kai's plan had been founded out, yet no other people where under punishment.

"Tala, launch your blade into the beystadium please" Boris asked; though not doing it would in turn become pain. Tala stared in horror.

Everyone let out a whoop of joy and Max and Tyson hugged each other happily. All blades, excluding Dranzer, glowed in response to their mater's joy.

Hope you liked it. I got the idea of a flame in Kai from another fic I read, but I can't remember what (silly me). Not sure where this is going though. Even I'm surprised that I got so many reviews. Thanx ppl. Later,
