~ Haunted by the past~

Ray couldn't help but sigh as he started cooking breakfast. Bad enough he and Ria and Kai were all having problems without Max's dad showing up too.

From what Max had told the group, his dad had been a scientist working on a type of machine which gave off an electro-magnetic charge which was supposed to enhance the physical prowess of human beings up to five times.

Unfotunately, it had been discovered that ther ws a side effect---- madness, of the slightly phsycopathic kind. After Max's parents had divorced and max got sent to live with his mum, Max's dad got very depressd and immersed himself in his work, often not taking the proper safety precautions due to lack of funding.

To put a long story in a nutshell, Max's dad finally made classic scientist istake number one, he tried his experiment on himself. Max's dad went mad but had super strength too. For some reason, he seemed intent on getting hold of max and working his experiment on him too. So Max spent a lot of his life trying to evade his crazed dad.

Complicated. And somehow the Bladebreakers had to help Max because he really was no match for his old man alone.

Except the three strongest members were kind of wrapped up with their own problems too. Or rather in Kai's case, couldn't remember enough to help.

After a lot of talking, they managed to get Kai to remember at least who they were, but any memory of what the team had done together was still shot.

Ray served out the pancakes and went to wake the others.

Ria was already awake.

Kenny and Max were awake after he called them a few times.

Tyson needed the words breakfast and pancakes whispered in his ear before he was up.

Glad that the hardest part was over, Ray knocked on Kai's bedroom door and expected the customary "I'm up", but received nothing but silence.

Surely losing your memory couldn't make you change your sleeping patterns? Mystified, Ray opened the door and gasped.

Kai was gone.

# Kai's POV#

losing your memory is the weakest possible thing which can happen to one. You search for answers you're expected to know and you don't find any thing.

I lay awake for a long time, thinking.

Tyson, Kenny, Max, Ray, Ria. These names all seemed familiar, but I couldn't link them to any kind of specific recognization, just a vague feeling.

The people I had met who claimed to be these people and my teamates seem familiar too, but how can I trust them?

Everything's a blur,my past. All I can remember is my name and how to Beyblade. And of course Dranzer.

Giving up on sleep, I change into street clothes and leave the hotel room for a walk.

I was passing the rooms marked 'Beyblade training rooms' when I heard some body call my name.

~ end~

Fenix: whew, short chappie I know, but hey, my muse is still playing hard to get!

Tala: lets hope it stays thet way.

Fenix: oh stuff a sock in it. To every one who reads this, please review!!! I'm getting seriously discouraged because the last chappie hardly brought any in.

Max: I have something to say. MY DADDY'S NOT A MAD SCIENTIST!!!!!!!!!

Fenix: -_-U Max, chill. It's just a fanfic. Merely something which my twisted mind cooked up.

Max: oh. Okay then!^_^

Fenix: O_oU. R&R. please.
