Back To Reality
Eep, sorry about the long awaited update. I'm just getting over a small stomach flu that's going around. *Sigh*. Anywho, about one of the flames a recently got. No, I didn't get it off a damn Disney movie. The idea actually came from my best friend during a boring Chemistry class. But hey, that flame sure kept me warm last night ^_~.
A little bit of information before you start reading. The green liquid that Kai is in is making him really really sleepy. As you'll read, all of his actions will seem somewhat . . .slow. This liquid is also making him think of weird things. Nothing bad (as in sexual wise), just- weird stuff! Well, onward hoe to the fifth chapter! And by the way, I know I said that this was going to be the last chapter, but I guess it's not . . .

What . . .what was happening? This all seemed so familiar, but then again, it didn't. Kai looked down at his arms; his weak-looking and needle- infested arms. Then he turned his solemn gaze forward again, towards them; the 'doctors'. They were just staring at him, occasionally tilting their heads downwards and quickly jotting something on their clipboards. But they didn't care. They didn't care about him, and the fact that he felt like both a caged animal and some sort of science experiment. After all, that's what he was, right? He had no purpose in life. This was the way he was created. Nothing more then a simple science experiment.
"What . . .am I saying?" He thought to himself, his eyes widening at long last. Sure, he felt like a caged animal at the zoo, but this was one 'animal' that wasn't about to stay this way. Slowly lifting an arm, he wrapped his hand around the needles on the opposite arm. And after one swift, slightly painful tug, they came out. He let them go, and let them float in whatever liquid he was in. He slowly looked back upwards, to see the mess of people in front of him going haywire. He figured that pulling out the needles was something that wasn't supposed to happen. But figuring this was something that was going to help, his lifted his other arm. And with some difficulty, he pulled the remaining four needles out of his right arm.
But as he did this, the greenish liquid began draining from beneath his feet. Within a moment, he was free to inhale the little bit of air that was in there. Sure, he could breath in that greenish liquid, but not very well. Forgetting about the things attached to his temples, he formed a fist with his hand and punched the glass as hard as he could. By now, the sleepiness was wearing off, and he was beginning to regain much of his former strength back. There were no longer people looking in on him, instead, they were busying themselves around an immense machine at the side of the enclosed room. Smirking, Kai punched the thick glass again, this time making some of the glass chip off. His knuckles were bleeding slightly because of it, but he didn't care. Anything to get out of this place!
Just as he was about to take another swing, the tank began filling up with another liquid. This time, it was a clear red.
"Dammit!" He cried, taking a small step backwards. Obviously this helped none, because the liquid was now all around him, engulfing his body once again. He took a deep breath in frustration, which wasn't a good idea. He felt the stuff begin to run through his system, shutting everything down temporarily. He could no longer move his arms, legs, or torso. Finally, with one final glimpse of the darkened room, Kai gave up whatever struggle he was fighting. He allowed himself to be taken back to that strange 'dream world'.
~~*~~*~~
Those bright crimson eyes slowly opened, allowing the phoenix to take in the scenery. Ha, WHAT scenery? Everything around him seemed to be faded. He could faintly make out what seemed to be a tree, but the colours were all off and demented. He raised a curious brow, standing himself up and brushing his body off.
"Where . . . exactly am I?" He asked the nothingness, now beginning to walk around and trying to make out any familiar objects. I mean, what else could he do? He was in another fantasy realm, and God only knew how he was going to get back. And man, if he ever did, those people were going to pay big time!
"Well well well, look at what we have here . . ." a familiar voice sounded from behind him. Kai immediately swung himself around.
He found himself starring into a pair of matching crimson eyes; his own. He raised a brow, and so did the other. Kai raised his hand slowly, and so did the other Kai.
"What the hell is going on?" they both said at the same time.
Was Kai looking into some sort of mirror? No, that answer came quickly. The 'Kai' opposite of him smirked, then quickly formed his hand into a fist and swung it at the other confused teen. 'Our' phoenix managed to duck, but only by a hair did the fist miss him.
"Who in God's name are you?" the slate-haired boy asked- well, more so shouted. Sure, it was a stupid question to ask really, but everything was happening so fast, he hadn't really got the time to piece everything together.
For once in his life, he actually wished that he could be with his friends. Max, Tyson, Kenny, and Rei; where were they all? What had they done when Kai didn't come back for training? Where they all worried about him? Did they even care that he was gone? He had so many questions that needed answering, but for now, he had to handle what was given to him. He had to battle some kind of clone. Or, as he thought of it -
"It's a battle . . . against myself . . ."

There, another chapter down. My, a battle with a clone? Can you imagine having to fight yourself? That would be weird. Well, I must be off to bed (because of that sickness, I've barely slept a wink)! Please review, it will give me something to read when I wake up in the middle of the night with nothing to do. Thanks a bunch! Chibi Kai plushies for everyone that does!
