Summary: Society hates them. All must perish. But within darkness lies light and maybe they'll survive after all. (AU)

A/N: I'll start off saying that I made I mistake when I posted the first chapter. I wrote Kenny instead of Kevin, but fear not! I fixed it when I posted this chapter!

Kody: Who got her out off the closet?

Chapter 2

"Oh God! Kai!" Ray tried to run into the fire but Tala stopped him, "What's the matter with you Tala?!"

"Ray calm down! We don't know if Kai's in there or if he escaped!" Tala said and Ray calmed down a bit, "Ok. Before we bang our heads together I think we should go back to the club and tell the others" Ray hesitated but nodded anyway, "Good. Now we'd better hurry. More droids are coming" Tala said and they both left

~*~*~

"Oh my God! Isn't that where the factory is supposed to be?!" Mariah looked out the second door window

"Shit! You're right!" Max said

The club, which disguised as a bar/restaurant (mainly bar) was closed during the day, so the gang was playing pool on the second floor but stopped when they heard the explosion.

"Where's Tala?!" they heard a voice after the door was rapidly opened and closed with fury.

They all looked down by the balcony since the second floor was an opened floor and was mainly taking half the space of the room on the upper level.

"Where's Tala?!" the boy, who was accompanied by Kevin, repeated

"Brian what's wrong?" Mariah asked

"Why the hell did this kid tell me Tala's not with you guys AND went to the factory?!" Brian pointed towards Kevin

"Well, he's with Ray and-" Mariah stopped talking. Brian was behind her with his left hand on her shoulder and his right hand on her neck

"You forget, Mariah, that the only reason I'm here is because of Tala" Brian whispered to her

"Mariah!" Kevin ran up the stairs to try and stop Brian but a boy held him back when he got to the top of the stairs, "Let go Gary!"

"I'm sorry Kevin but Brian can easily kill you and if you die I'm not doing my job as a bodyguard" Gary told him

"Guys they're here!" Max pointed towards the stairs, where Ray and Tala were arriving

They all looked at the stairs and saw Ray and Tala. Both were alive, but with a few scratches.

"Hi guys…" Ray said lowly. Brian let go of Mariah and hit Ray in the head, "What was that for?!"

"Why the hell were you and Tala going to the factory?! I told you I don't want Tala there!" he yelled. It was obvious he cared a lot about Tala

"Brian it's ok! We didn't go in!" Tala said to him and Brian calmed down

"Ray, where's Kai?" Max asked

"…" Ray looked at the floor

"Sorry guys, but when we got to the factory it blew up. Now, we're sure Kai isn't that stupid to go a blow up the factory, but we don't know where he is" Tala explained

"So, in other words, you're not sure if he's alive?" Lee asked out loud

"Don't worry, I'm alive" they all turned to the door to see Kai close it. He looked like shit, but ok anyway. He had scratches everywhere and looked like he had walked a long way

"Kai!" Ray ran down the stairs and hugged Kai

"Take it easy Ray, I'm hurt" Kai said and Ray let go of him

"What happened Kai? Why did you go to the factory?" Mariah asked as she and the others arrived to see Kai

"Not now" Kai said, "Tala, Brian, Gary. I need you guys to come with me" he told said boys and they nodded. Kai nodded back and they left

"I wonder what was wrong" Mariah wondered as Ray went into a slump

~*~*~

"What's the matter Kai? Where are we going?" Tala asked Kai as they followed him around the back allies

"Is this about why the factory blew up?" Brian asked

"Yeah, but it's worse" Kai said

They followed him to the back of an old apartment building. They went inside and went up to the third floor. As soon as they got there they went towards one of the apartments with the door number 308. Kai opened the door and the others gasped.

The boy Kai had seen in the factory laid on the floor, resting against the wall. The boy looked to be in way more bad shape than Kai. The boy slowly raised his head, and even though his eyes were still void he glared at the new comers. Kai realizing he was mad and glowing, went up to the boy, put his hand on the boy's head and said, "Stop it Takao. They're not going to hurt you. They're friends" the boy calmed down an stopped glowing

"Kai, who is this boy? He seems to have-" Tala began worriedly but Kai cut him short

"He does have a guardian. But he's the factory's newest guinea pig" Kai said, putting an assurance to Tala's thoughts

"Oh, boy" Brian muttered

"He's been electrocuted, hasn't he?" Gary asked when he looked at the boy up close

"Tortured is a better word" Kai said as he sat on the floor, followed by Tala and Brian, doing a circle

"But this kid isn't part of Anti-Society. Is he?" Brian asked

"No. Tyson was never part of our group. But it looks like he might have known something" Kai said

"Kai. What just happened at the factory?" Tala asked

Kai sighed as Gary joined them. Kai explained to them how he went into the factory after receiving an e-mail, about the men in the lab coats, about what he heard, what he saw and that when he turned his head away that there was an explosion and then he woke up in the sewers with Tyson next to him.

"It was probably your guardian who saved you" Brian said after Kai finished

"I agree with Brian. But, the mystery remains as to why the factory blew up" Tala said

"And why the boy was taken" Gary added

"I might be able to help you with that" Kai said as he took out a small cd in its case.

"What's that?" Tala asked

"Managed to take it when I snuck in. Contains all their data" Kai said giving Brian the cd then looked a Tala very seriously, "What do you think they did to him? He doesn't look like he remembers anything, plus the fact that he isn't talking"

"He looks fine at the moment, but it's too early to tell. At the very least we know his body wasn't refined, since we took out their data on refining just last month" Tala said

"…" Kai stayed quiet. Gary, Mariah and him were the only ones who knew about Tala's and Brian's secret. They had told only them when they joined Anti-Society.

"I think it'll be better if Tyson stays here. I'll send a bed and some sheets and pillows tonight so don't worry" Tala said

"And Ray? I'm sure as hell think he'll want to know what going on" Kai asked

"I'll talk to him and the others about this"

"Good. And the stuff about Voltaire?"

"We'll take to the grave"

Kai nodded in thanks and they stood up.

"Get some rest Kai. We don't want to lose our fearless leader" Brian joked and Kai nodded

"We'll get going now. Oh. And I'll talk to Robert to see if he has any new info, just in case" Tala said

"Thanks. I'll try to go to the club tomorrow"

"Ok, but don't push yourself"

"Come on. I'm hungry" Gary said as he opened the door

"Yeah, let's go. I want to make Enrique eat his word about being too bored" Brian said

"Fine. Bye Kai" Tala said and left with the others

Kai stood there and greeted silence.

Sissy: Yay! Finally done! About Anti-Society. I'll try and speak more about it in the following chapters and the purpose of the droids, since they're important.

Kody: And to some of you. This is a Kai/Tyson fic. But since you people like the plot and want a Kai/Ray fic. we can work on making a similar plot but of Ray & Kai, k?

Ryu: To the closet! To the closet!

Kody: Oh, yeah!

Sissy: What?!
