Wingzero: This so overdue for an update.

Ray: Then why haven't you?

Wingzero: Because I had no ideas. Then this just hit me today.

Tyson: I wish it hadn't.

Wingzero: I decided to use another person's view.

Kai: Who is it?

Wingzero: Lee's.

Lee: Why me?

Wingzero: I wanted a different perspective.

Lee: Oh.

Blue Eyes White Dragon: *holds up a sign saying, "Wingzero does now own Beyblade or Yu-Gi-Oh."

********Lee's POV********

What was taking the two love birds? Ray should have found him and been back with him. I don't like the feeling of this place, and my flight leaves in a less than a week. The White Tigers would become worried if I didn't show up when I said I would. Then Mariah will be suspicious as to what I was doing here in Japan to have taken to long.

As soon as we caught up with Dragoon and Ray, they had entered the room. A few minutes later, a pale Dragoon came out of the room. We had tried to get into the room, but the storm beast wouldn't allow anyone to enter, not even his own team mates. Needless to say, Max tried to get in while Kai just leaned against the wall. Kenny and Dizzi chatted about the rumors concerning this place. As for me, I sat down and waited.

Since it was too crowded in the hallway, we decided to wait in a larger room. I couldn't tell what they used to do here. This was getting very boring. I needed someone to talk to. Kai wasn't much of a social person. Then again, he never was. Max was too hyper to hold a decent conversation. He paced back and forth, concerned about his best friend. No doubt, they had grown close, not as lovers but as brothers. They seemed inseparable. Kenny and Dizzi were heated in an argument. They were online and researching myths or something like that.

So in other words, my best bet for someone to talk to was Kai. Seriously, I doubt he would want to talk to me, considering our past history. I just gazed over towards area that led to the room, where Ray and Tyson were. How long does it take for Ray to find and bring Tyson here? It can't be that long, unless he had to break some sort of binding.

"Be patient," Kai spoke up. His eyes had a very serious tone to them.

"And you think I'm not?" I retorted. I had been caught off guard by his sudden vocalizations.

"You're getting restless," Kai pointed out the fact that I had been shifting in my make-shift seat very uncomfortable.

"They should have been out by now," Max said very frustrated and messing up his hair.

"Ray knows what he's doing," Kai said to the distressed blonde.

"I'm sure he does," I agreed with Kai. Ray knew that by leaving our village, he can further benefit himself and the village. He wasn't being a traitor, which he proved during our last battle in the Asian tournament. Ever since then, I had learned to trust his judgment to a certain degree.

"What do you think could be taking them so long?" Max whined.

"Probably, he's been drugged," Kai shrugged as he moved from his position from the wall to another part of the wall.

"That's horrible," Max gasped with his eyes wide open.

"Not that kind of drugged," Kai corrected Max.

"Or maybe Tyson has been bound?" I suggested, in which both of them looked over at me with a strange expression. What?

"Metal bindings will prove to be difficult," Kai said. "Especially thick ones."

"True," Kenny spoke up from his place. "We don't have any weapons except our beyblades."

"You've got me," Dizzi said from the laptop.

"You can't even get out of there," Kai pointed out.

"Sure, just point it out," Dizzi said, pretending to be hurt, which we all knew she was faking.

"Has anyone remembered Tyson's parents?" Kenny pointed out the fact we had missed.

"We haven't seen them," Max said thoughtfully.

Kai narrowed his eyes at the thought. "They still could be out there." With that he pulled out his launcher and beyblade, while scanning the area for Tyson's parents.

'Maybe we should follow his example,' a voice spoke into my mind.

"Who are you?" I asked the voice.

"Hearing voices?" Max bounded over to me when I had asked the questions.

"Yeah, why?" I questioned the hyper blonde.

"That's probably your bit beast," Max said casually.

"It can't be Galeon," I scoffed at the idea.

'And what makes you think that?' the voice said annoyed.

"Okay, this is getting weird," I said nervously.

"Welcome to the club," Max said, placing a hand on my shoulder and squeezing it gently. "All of our bit beasts have talked to us."

"They have?" I asked the blonde.

"Yes," Max replied. "Dranzer even talked to Kai, but he thought all of us were going insane, cause he can't hear our bit beasts."

"So only you're saying that my bit beast can talk to me, but not you?" I inquired with my brow raised. This was getting a little bit too weird for me.

'We can only talk to our masters, but we can talk freely amongst ourselves,' Galeon informed me. 'However, we can only talk to our masters when they need our help.'

"Okay," I muttered. "So that's why you only talked to me now?"

'No, I've talked to you before,' Galeon shrugged mentally.

"Since when?" I wanted to know the truth.

'Since you thought Ray had betrayed you,' Galeon said with a hint of depression.

"How come I don't remember?" I asked my lion bit beast.

'Because I only came to you in your dreams,' Galeon said.

"Why would you come to me in my dreams?" I wondered out loud.

'Because you were full of hate,' Galeon said.

"Your bit beast comes to you in your dreams?" Max blinked as he heard only one side of our conversation. He can only hear what Draciel told him. I doubt that Galeon was sending her any of our conversation.

"That's what he told me," I told the clueless Max. He nodded his head to say that he acknowledged my statement.

'You were allowing it to consume you,' Galeon went on. 'I couldn't sit back and watch.'

"Thank you," I said gratefully to my bit beast. He was the one who kept me sane, during those times, and I had never known or remembered.

"Draciel wants to know how you are doing?" Max asked on the behalf of his bit beast. "Galeon isn't answering her."

"I'm doing fine," I said, smiling a little. "And tell her I am thankful for her concern."

"She already heard you," Max returned the smile. At least he was smiling. It wasn't the same to see either Tyson or Max without their usual smiles. I guessed I had grown used to seeing them that way. Both seemed to be too happy or cheerful for their own good.

"Get down," Kai hissed at all of us. He had been standing near the window, staring outside the entire time. He quickly moved behind a section of the wall.

Kenny, who had been the furthest away from the window, hid inside an empty wooden crate along with his laptop. He closed the lid, because Dizzi had become rather noisy. She wanted to know what was going on, but we don't even know. Max slid underneath a nearby desk. He pulled his legs underneath it. I had barely enough time to get underneath a pile of debris, when Tyson's parents sauntered into the room.

Of course, they hadn't expected us to find Tyson this quickly and rescue him. They had been gloating about something. I couldn't make out their words, but I could hear their obnoxious voices coming through the hallways. I wanted to run out there and shut them up, because I couldn't stand listening to them. From where I hid, I can tell Kai was also irritated. As for Max and Kenny, I couldn't tell, because they were completely hidden from my view point.

The noises became louder as the couple made their way to this room. I wondered where they had been off to and why they couldn't have stayed an hour longer. Ray would have been done doing whatever he needed to do, and then we could have been out of there without his parents knowing. Unfortunately, we didn't count on Ray taking this long, nor Tyson's parents coming back so soon. We needed to buy them time.

"That was a good one," Kirai said to her husband.

"Yeah, that old man didn't see this one coming," Ikari laughed along with his wife.

"He will be having night mares for months," Kirai gave him a deep kiss.

"True," Ikari agreed after breaking the kiss. "He's going to be broken physically and mentally."

"Damaged goods," Kirai stated out loud. "No one would want to be with him after what you did to him."

"I can imagine it now," Ikari said before describing their kid in a mental institution.

As they laughed over their inside joke, I wondered what had Ikari done to Tyson to have made him go mental. Then I had remembered what Kirai said: 'Damaged goods.' That could only refer to one thing, rape. His father couldn't have stolen his...... I refused to think that he could be that low until they started talking again.

"He's going to be upset you did him first," Kirai smirked.

"I could care less," Ikari said smugly. "The boy deserved what he got."

"Yes, to be battered and broken like we were," Kirai agreed with him.

"He lost something precious to him just as we did," Ikari said, rubbing his chin.

Tyson's father didn't. I can't believe what they were saying. Ikari had taken Tyson's innocence way from him, through force. He raped his only son. That was just sick and wrong. I felt like hurling at the moment, but I managed to keep it down.

"Something that cannot be replaced," Kirai said. "Maybe we should check up on him."

"He's chained to a bed, what can he do?" Ikari scoffed at the idea.

"His friends could have come to rescue him," Kirai said nonchalantly.

"I seriously doubt they could find him in that amount of time," Ikari shrugged her off.

Before any of us could blink, shots of fire had been released into the vicinity of Tyson's parents. Kai stepped out of the shadows. From his expression, he was very pissed off and nothing we could do can change his minds.

"You're sick," Kai spat out.

"It's you again," Ikari snarled at the appearance of the Bladebreaker's team captain.

"Buzz off!" Kirai threatened the stoic captain.

"Or what? You have no weapons," Kai literally taunted them as he threw that into their faces.

"We have you outnumbered," Ikari pointed out. If only they knew, the rest of us were here.

"On contraire," I spoke up as I had exited my hiding place with care, as I did not want any splinters due to the broken wood. "You are outnumbered."

"Two against two," Ikari counted. "I would say that's even."

"You forgot about me," Max rolled out from underneath the desk. He had his launcher out and ready for action.

Kai recalled his beyblade and prepared to launch it again, should the need arise. Tyson's parents were on the slow side, but they were persistent. No wonder Tyson ended up the way he was. It ran in the family, but at least, he had a heart unlike some people we know.

"So?" Kirai taunted the rest of us.

I also had my launcher and beyblade out. I was ready for some action, when a blue haired boy suddenly rushed into the room. He was glaring daggers at Tyson's parents. Dragoon had heard them coming and ran out to challenge them.

"You hurt my master," Dragoon spoke slowly and very eerily.

"Your master?" Tyson's parents asked in unison.

"That's right," Kai spoke up. "Meet Dragoon, Tyson's bit beast."

"He doesn't like it when you mess with his master," Ray said, leaning against the frame of the door post. "And neither do I." In less than a second, he had his beyblade ready to take out Tyson's parents.

"You should be ashamed of yourselves," Dragoon hissed at them.

"I could care less what you thought," Ikari said in a casual voice.

"Oh really?" Dragoon snarled at them, while advancing upon his prey.

The rest of us watch as they exchanged words and glares. Does Dragoon intend on killing Tyson's parents? Even if he killed them, it wouldn't be right. That would be stooping to their level. We can't allow it to happen to a Dragoon. I glanced over to Kai, who nodded his head. He kept his eye on the furious bit beast.

"I should kill you," Dragoon said as he sized up his enemies. "But Tyson would be angry at me."

Before either of his parents could open their mouths, Ray spoke, "Tyson doesn't want his bit beast to become a murderer."

That was true. In a flash, Galeon had joined us. Needless to say, I had been completely surprised and fell over as my bit beast also advanced towards Tyson's parents in a predatory fashion. "How can someone do that to their offspring?"

"Another one?" Kirai gasped as our bit beasts walked around them.

"Make that three," Driger said after he had emerged from his blade.

"Four!" Draciel announced, leaping into action.

"Five!" Dizzi said as she had left her laptop. I thought she couldn't get out of there. This was getting to be too much for me.

Last but not least, Dranzer made his appearance in a burst of fire. His eyes glowed red with his fury and he literally set himself on fire. Each of our bit beasts had an element which they controlled. Ray and mine had thunder. Dragoon controlled the winds. Draciel mastered the element of water. Dranzer used the element of fire. Dizzi, she mastered the earth element.

"Make your move," Dranzer challenged Ikari and Kirai.

"We dare you to," Driger added in a low growl.

"Or you too scared," Dragoon smirked as he saw them pale a couple of shades.

"You beat up on those who are weaker than yourselves," Draciel shrieked.

"And you care nothing about your own son, your flesh and blood," Dizzi yelled at them.

"For that, you will pay," Galeon said lastly.

As they charged, Tyson's parents turned and fled the scene. It was good in a sense, because we didn't want our bit beasts to become murderers. On the other hand, Ikari and Kirai shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Ray had turned and left the room, along with Driger. They headed back the way they came from.

In less than a few minutes, Ray emerged while carrying Tyson in his arms. Figures, since Tyson had been taken, he would have a hard time walking without pain. Ray must have convinced him to be carried; otherwise, we would know right away. Luckily for us, Tyson's parents gloated about the whole event so a couple of us put the pieces together.

"Hey guys," Tyson greeted us. A fake smile plastered on his face. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," I answered. "Except for our bit beasts coming out of their bits, and chasing off your parents."

"I can see," Tyson said scanning the room. It held twice as many occupants as it did before.

"So do you want to tell them or should I?" Ray asked Tyson, full of concern.

"Maybe we can tell them when we're at my house?" Tyson squeaked, with fear.

"Sure thing," Ray assured the frightened teen.

"We already know," Kai mentioned.

"Know what?" Ray asked for Tyson.

"We know what happened," Kai restated.

I nodded my head to back up their team captain. "We figured it out while you were in the room."

"What do you think happened?" Ray asked instead of Tyson, who suddenly lost his voice.

"We know your parents have raped you," Kai put it rather bluntly.

Tyson's eyes widened as he buried his face in Ray's shoulder. I couldn't tell if he was ashamed, hurt, angry, or afraid. Dragoon moved over and tried to comfort his masters as did Driger. Since Ray had been holding Tyson, he tried to assure them that the others wouldn't think of him as disgusting or want him off the team.

"Whoever said that I want you off the team?" Kai said.

"You mean you're not kicking me off?" Tyson asked with disbelief.

"I understand you're going through a tough time now," Kai said regretfully. "But you're stronger than that. It will take time to heal."

"We with you one hundred percent, and then some," Max chirped.

"Don't blame yourself," Kenny said, keeping the feeling going. "If anyone is to blame, it is your parents. They chose to do that."

"They control their actions, and they are responsible for them," I included.

"Master, what did I tell yah?" Dragoon said smiling. "They don't blame you."

"There's no way we're letting you quit the team," Ray added his two cents.

Tyson broke down, but this time, it was tears of joy. "Thank you," he managed to say before he completely lost it.

Ray rubbed his back as we all sat and watch this emotional display. I don't think Kai has ever been this open or accepting in my entire life, but I don't see him on a daily basis. From what I have heard, he had a dark childhood, full of pain. I can sort of see a connection between the two, something that they can relate to.

"We should be going," Kai said. Our bit beasts had returned to their blades, when they saw we had no further need of their assistance.

"Where are we going?" Ray asked his team captain.

"To the police station," Kai replied.

"Why?" We all asked before it dawned on us.

We would allow the law to deal with Tyson's parents, instead of taking it into our hands. Not only that, but we had to see if Tyson contracted any STD's from his parents. If he had any, they were going to pay dearly. I knew that Dragoon would see to that. Driger might want to, as it was his master's boyfriend, who had been hurt. Well, it wasn't official, but from the way they acted around each other, it wouldn't be long before we saw them getting together.

Hopefully, I will still be around when it happened.
