Strike (chappie 18)

Kai woke up, at 4:01 am, something was wrong. But he couldn't tell what. He briskly sat up, glancing around the room. Something was wrong. He glanced down beside him. KRISTY!!! She was gone. His heart nearly skipped a beat, he quickly turned on a light, to find a note on her night table, and a lock of her hair.

Kai scrambled out of bed, and grabbed the note angrily.

'She's ours now, If you want her come and claim her.. You know where we'll be.{dungeon}' Kai's eye's widen, as he let out a scream, "NOO!!"

This woke everyone in the room's beside his.

------

Kai slammed his fists on the kitchen table, hiding his face from the others as tears flowed.

"No, no no no no no!!" he repeated.

"Kai buddy, calm down, we'll get her back!" Promised Tyson, as Silver glanced uneasily to him.

Leah was hysterically crying in Max's arms, while Madison consumed in shock, stood there blanked faced, as Ray tried to get her to talk.

Kai stood up briskly, his face still tear streaked, panted and glaring intensely at the note, without a word, he strode past his team mates and out the door.

"He's going to find her on his own.." Sighed Silver.

"He doesn't always choose the right decision.." Tyson sighed.

Madison leaned against the wall as she slid down it, holding her knees close. He body in shock she could not speak, her voice muted.

"You and Silver should go after Kai, follow him for safety!" Ray added, as he sat beside Madison wrapping and arm around her.

"Yeah, Ray and I will take care of Leah and Maddy!" Max smiled, as he hugged Leah's waist, as she sobbed on his shoulder.

Silver and Tyson nodded, then quickly followed Kai.

(Dungeon- cold dark room)

Kristy woke up in a cold damp and dark room. The sound of dripping water echoed. She tried to move, but her hands and feet were stuck, she could feel rope around her body. And the room looked familiar.

Kristy coughed, the ropes tightly confined her chest, it was becoming hard for her to breath. The smell of ammonia still lingered in her nose. Blood trickled from her forehead, as she nodded sleepily.

"It will only be a matter of time now." Laughed a cold, raspy voice.

"Ron?" Kristy wheezed. (A/N: dun dun dun.he's back. and all of her enemies are one!)

"You thought I gave up easy did you?" Ron laughed, "Hah! You will be my slave, Danny's girl, and Stephen's toy!" he growled in his English accented voice, "And Kai.."

"Leave him alone!" Kristy snapped, tears shedding.

"He'll soon be out of the picture! DEAD!" Ron laughed as he disappeared into the shadows.

"Nooo." Kristy sobbed, as she remembered the last images before she opened her eyes to find herself locked in a room.

Flash back

Kristy smiled up at Kai, as she quietly kissed him on the lips before snuggling into the blankets while she snuggled in his arms.

She had only been asleep for two hours, when she felt a hand and cloth wrap around her mouth and nose.

The stench of ammonia entered her nose, her eyes became heavy and her sight became blurred. As she tried to scream, the ammonia fumes entered her lungs, making it hard for her to breathe. She reached out for Kai, but she was already off the bed. She saw Kai sleeping quietly on the bed, as she struggled with the arms around her.

Tears fell from her eyes, as she slipped away into unconsciousness.

Flash back ends

Kristy sobbed, as she hung her head in remorse.

Soon what seemed like hours of struggling in the dark, Kristy heard noise's in the distance.

"Kristy?" it called.

"Kai!" Kristy gasped, "Go away!" she cried, remembering Ron's warning.

"Kristy is that you?" Kai called back.

"Go away Kai!" Kristy screamed, but Kai only came quicker. He stopped dead at her sight.

"Kristy!" Kai gasped, as he ran toward her to untie her, "I'm so sorry, I should have protected you."

"Kai.." Kristy sobbed, "You have to leave now! They'll kill you!" struggling to fight Kai back.

Kai just ignored her as he began to pull at the ropes.

"Kai!" Kristy screamed, she saw Ron, Danny, Stephen, Mikey, and Henry standing behind him.

Kai spun around to see the boys, "I won't let you hurt her!" Kai growled.

"She is my wife!" Ron growled.

"I am not! I will never marry you!" Kristy shrieked.

Ron clenched his teeth in anger, "Fine!" he glanced to Henry and Mikey, then nodded. As they began to approach Kai.

"No!!!" Kristy shrieked, fidgeting more in the ropes, tears fell from her eyes.

Kai bared his fists, as Mikey hit him on the head with a gun, allowing Henry to grab one arm, Mikey quickly grabbed another. Kai quickly came too, realizing he was trapped.

Stephen quickly kissed Kristy, "it was a pleasure." he grinned, then walked over to Kai and kicked him in the groin, causing Kai to fall to his knees. Danny grabbed his ankles forcing them to the ground so he couldn't get up.

"You pathetic bastard!" Stephen spat, walking back behind Ron.

Ron grinned to Kai, then back at Kristy, "Sorry my love, but if I can't have you." Ron sighed, as he pulled out a gun.

Kai's eye's widened in fear realizing what Ron would do, "NO! Kristy!"

Kristy knew it was coming, tears fell silently from her cheeks, "I love you," she whispered, then slowly shut her eyes. (imagine this in slow motion)

Ron wrinkled his nose in disgust, "..Then no one can!" he yelled, as he pulled the trigger.

"Nooooooo! Kristy!" Kai shrieked, trying to break free of the hold. Forcing his chest out ward.

*BANG*

...*Silence*...

Kai kneeled there gasping, glancing at Kristy. Henry and Mikey let go of Kai's arms, and Danny stood up.

Her head, limply nodding, blood spilling through her shirt on her chest. Blood trickled from the side of her mouth. Motionless, her eyes still red from crying, her face still tear streaked. Only, she sat silent.

"Kristy..." Kai fell to his hands and knees crying, his head, hung downward.

"Pathetic.." muttered Ron, as he left the dungeon followed by Stephen, Danny, Henry, and Mikey.

"Oh Kristy, if only you had listened to me.." Danny sighed, following the others.

Kai slowly crawled over to Kristy, he gently untied the ropes, allowing her body to fall into his arms.

Slowly, he lay her on her back. Kai held her neck up, still gasping, his hands quivering at her lips, as he sobbed. Finally Kai, pulled her up, hugging her, as blood spilled on his body.

Just at that moment Silver and Tyson came running in panting, slouching; their hands on their knees to keep up. But it didn't last long, the moment they saw Kai.

He was covered in blood, little his own, more was Kristy's.

"Kai." Tyson gasped.

"Kristy." Silver's voice trembled, she took a step forward.

"She's gone." Kai mumbled underneath Kristy's shoulder, he rocked her for a while.

"Oh no.." Tyson and Silver gasped in unison, as they kneeled beside him.

--------

A week passed, since Kristy's death. And nothing seemed the same any more. Leah had become a wreck; Max remembered her very reaction..:

Flash Back

Kai staggered through the hotel door, his head bleeding, with a black eye. Tyson and Silver tried to help him walk, but he just pushed them away. With a snorted, "No!"

Staring forward, as he entered.

Leah bit her lip, glancing at Kai, as her grip on Max's arm grew heavy.

"Kai?" She asked nervously.

Kai looked at Leah, he knew this was going to be hard, immediately tears started to form in his eyes, and Leah knew why. Kai remained staring at her, with teary eyes, he knew how she felt.

"No." Leah whispered, she let go of Max's arm, and fell to her knee's as tears began to flow,

"No!!" She repeated even more loudly, as Kai kneeled beside her, she lunged into his arms.

"No!!!" she finally shrieked at the peek of her outburst. Kai cried too as he leaned on Leah, who returned the gesture.

Madison fell in Ray's arms sobbing; the shock sinking deeper, "Ray!" She sobbed, as Ray held her close.

"It's okay." Ray whispered.

Realising he was crying in front of his friends, Kai let go of Leah, "I'm sorry.. I couldn't protect her.." He whispered, as he briskly left the room, and went into his.

Leah sobbed at Kai's remark, as she quickly spun around sobbing into Max's chest.

Max rubbed her back trying to calm her, "It's okay, it will be okay." Although he wasn't so sure of his own words.

Silver just leaned on Tyson not sure what to do, weather to cry, scream or remain silent, yet Tyson felt her shudder.

Flash back ends

Madison was in denial, and kept quiet, except when she talked with Ray, which seemed the only thing that brought a smile to her face any more.

Kai was back to normal, shutting everyone out, keeping quiet and to him self, although his blading skills seemed to fall. But no one dared to comment on it.

Max was constantly trying to cheer everyone up, but instead everyone's grief brought Max down.

While Ray tried to act normal for Madison's sake.

Everything was different now, without Kristy, everything seemed changed or effected some how.

Leah was always having nightmares, and she rarely smiled.

While Kai didn't sleep at all, and after her death he was back to being cold again.

Dizzi was very upset, causing her and Kenny's work to plunge.

Silver never forgave Danny, and ended up staying with the Blade Breakers.

While Tyson was always trying to make Silver smile, and forget the stuff that made her sad.

Max was also in grief but seeing Leah depressed, depressed him.

Madison was never her self, she was always quiet, and constantly staring off into space, thinking god knows what, which worried Ray.

But one night, while Kai lay wide awake on his bed, he noticed a glow from Kristy's bag, that hadn't left her bed since her death. What was this glow that disturbed him at 3 in the morning?

Kai sat up staring at the light, then smiled softly. He didn't know what it was, but it soon disappeared, and for the first time it felt like everything would soon be okay.
