"Well Ray, I'm going to find out what happened back there no matter what." Kai stated. After that was said he turned and left, with no other sound. I knew that he meant it for I could see it in his eyes.

'Man, if only I knew what happened myself Kai..' I thought to myself. I lay down in my bed and thought about today's events. I turned to look at my clock and noticed that Kai's training session was only half an hour away.

'This session is going to be a long one.' I pondered. I tried to relax and calm down my thoughts while I closed my eyes. In a few moments I was back in the room of my mind. The cage around me once more.

"What's going on here?! How'd I get here again?!" I shouted. All I heard was an echo of my questions through the emptiness. I heard laughter from behind me, and I turned only to see *him* again.

"Well, well, what do we have here.." he said in an evil tone. He had both of his arms resting on his hips as he stood there in amusement.

"Get me out of here!" Ray demanded. With this statement a sly smirk arose on the others face.

"Why of course Ray, just as soon as I'm done for the time being." he replied and left, leaving me alone cooped up in the cage.

-------------------------------------------------------

On the outside…

"Hey Ray, wake up, it's time for our session with Kai" it was Max. "Come on Ray, you've slept enough!" Tyson. So annoying at times.

The supposed Ray opened his eyes and sat up holding his head just like I would. Just like before, he looked just like me accept for the bandana.

"What's going on guys?" he asked. My voice. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me.

He stood up with Tyson and Max following him out the door and into the yard where Kai was waiting for them. Kai glanced at Ray and noticed something different, something strange about him now. The other Ray walked up to Kai and asked him what they were going to do today. Kai didn't even answer Ray's question but instead asked his own question back.

"Ray, what happened to your bandana, it's torn." he said as he pointed to Ray's bandana. Ray, seeing this just put on the best smile that he could and replied,

" Oh, that? It's nothing, must have happened this morning, now can we start the session so we can get it over with?"

Kai had that cold look on his face, for he knew that it wasn't the truth, but he would have to know more to make a statement.

" Okay, now everyone lets start the practice match. First will be me versus Max, and then Ray versus Tyson." Kai declared. Kai approached the edge of the ring and so did Max.

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIIIP!!!" Tyson shouted, thereby starting the match. Both Kai and Max let go of their beyblades at the same time. Max's was circling around the edge of the dish while Kai's was staying in the middle.

"Let's go Draciel! Finish this match!" Max ordered and his beyblade came strait at Dranzer, in a fierce rage.

"Go Dranzer!" Kai yelled, and the beautiful red phoenix appeared and knocked Max's beyblade from the dish, it landing in front of his feet.

"Aw man, I lost." Max said in defeat. He picked up his beyblade and walked over to where Ray and Tyson were waiting and sat down on the grass looking over his blade to make sure that there were no problems. Kai also returned after Max and told the two to start their match. Tyson and Ray both took their places around the ring, readying their launchers.

"I'm gonna win this one Ray." Tyson said with the utmost confidence. Ray just smiled, a glint of red shining in his eyes.

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!!!!" Max shouted. Both bladers let go of their beyblades, and watched them in the dish.

"Lets go Dragoon! Finish this !!!" Tyson commanded as a turquoise dragon appeared from his blade. Ray just widened his smirk as the dragon approached his blade.

"Driger!!" Ray shouted. His green tiger appeared from his blade, accept it's stripes were red instead of green.

"Whoa…" Tyson said as he saw the change in Driger's appearance.

"Tiger Claw attach!" Ray ordered the tiger. With this Driger dove at Dragoon with an awesome force never seen before, and cut him in two!!

"Ahhhh! DRAGOON!! What just happened?!" he said in shock. After all the commotion had settled Tyson's blade lay in front of him literally in two pieces. Tyson was in utter shock, as well as Max and Kai, amazingly. After they took in what just happened they all turned to Ray who was just standing there as if everything was fine, with his arms crossed, and his eyes shut, smiling.

"Ray, what was that all about?" Max questioned. His smile just grew, and he opened his eyes revealing the red orbs beneath. As he did so Tyson started to back away, Ray was not himself. Ray turned his glance to Kai and said,

"I'll be seeing you later, bye." With that a bright red light came from Ray that blinded everyone for a few moments. When the light finally dived down Ray was unconscious on the ground. Being able to see again, Kai, Max, and Tyson all rushed over to Ray in a hurry. Kai turned Ray over on his back so that they could see his face. Doing so, he saw that Ray's bandana was still torn a bit. Kai was astounded as he witnessed the cloth actually repair itself. As soon as this motion was complete, Ray stirred, awaking.

----------------------------------------------------------------

In his mind…

Ray finally saw the other Ray approach him and seeing him the cage around him disappeared. The other Ray said,

" Well, I'm done for the moment, and I will see you again.." and vanished out of sight. The next thing that Ray knew he was in his own body and was waking up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Outside……….

Ray slowly opened his eyes revealing them to be their original golden color. He put his hand to his head in confusion.

"What just happened….." he asked. This was going to be a long explanation.
