Summary: It's in the first chapter.
Gothic: Told you I'd be back. It's freezing here in England, and my fingers are probably going to seize up from all this writing soon. (Holds cup of tea she's just made in hands until the hands warm up.) Ah, that's better. Warm fingers! Now, on with the fic!
Kai: And Gothic doesn't own me, or anything else to do with Beyblade, but she does own Siseki Hiawati, Celina Hiawati and Nathan Kuyn. No suing now please.
MOA (Microsoft Office Assistant who was mentioned in the last chapter): And once again I will count, and make sure Gothic has written enough words. She did surprisingly well in the last chappie, considering that it was supposed to be a short chappie. Oh well, onto the ficcie!

Japan, 2002. The Granger Household.
It was midnight when the first bangs were heard. Everyone in the neighbourhood where the Granger household stood heard massive explosions in the sky from the North. Artificial lightning from the explosions streaked across thousands of miles down to the South of Japan, where Tokyo stood. Tyson Granger and several other Bladers were roused from their beds and to the door. They watched as the lightning occurred with every bang. Yet, it was obvious in the strangest way that the bangs and explosions heard were not thunder. These 'explosions' were in fact the bombing of a ship in the harbour that had been sabotaged. On board this ship, were several teenagers, who, angry that the ship had been sabotaged, abandoned ship on the nearest lifeboat. The oldest, and most probably the leader spoke fast to his companions.
"Come on! We must find him. Remember my brothers, there is much sacrifice among us now. Row faster, the ship will explode soon. The ship, called the 'Quinakova' began to break down. The little boat carrying the 'brothers' landed just as the ship completely, with much groaning and creaking broke into three, and gradually dropped beneath the murky depths. The helicopters that had been bombing the ship pulled off and took to the skies.
Back with Tyson and the others, everyone was gradually retiring back to bed. Kai however, lounged against the wooden doorframe, and stared up into the skies. He had a good idea as to what the explosions had been, and spent much time that night staring up into the blackness of the midnight sky.

Russia, 1991. Balkov Abbey.
Kai stood amongst many others, his sister beside him. They were now going to their third meeting since Nathan had brought the group together, and were hoping to receive confirmation that they were part of the cult. There were many who had come from S T Petersburg, and other far off places from around Russia. They were hoping that this wouldn't be a failure. Kai himself was nervous. Nathan now announced the new mark of the cult.
"My fellow brothers, it is time that we showed our respect and loyalty to the cult. You see these marks upon my cheeks? These will be upon your own cheeks, but will not be permanent. It is only in the utmost urgency shall we remove them. Let us unite!!" The entire hall erupted, - as usual. Nathan now began to hand out little tattoos, that would go on extremely easily, but did take a bit of work to get off. The buzzing hall barely noticed, as many succeeded in placing them on in a matter of seconds. It was only a few minutes more before they would have to go again, and not many wanted to.
A small 2 year old girl, who bore a 5cm scar across her forehead watched once again, hidden in the darkness. She watched her sister, and found herself wishing her sister was dead.
Japan, 2002. The Forest
"Let It Rip!!" Tyson and Max faced of against each other in a somewhat friendly match.
"Come on Tyson! I didn't fix that new attack ring for nothing." Kenny and Dizzi surveyed the battle from a comfy rock nearby. Rei observed the battle from at the side of Tyson, and Hilary was cheering Max on as well as playing referee. Kai meanwhile, took up his usual position leaning against a tree.
"Alright Chief, I'm doing the best I can! Dragoon! ATTACK!!!" Tyson and Dragoon charged towards Max, and after two spilt seconds, Draciel was lying on the grass.
"ALRIGHT! I WON!" Tyson went into his usual victory cheer, and started dancing around on the grass. Max picked up Draciel, and examined him, before joining Tyson.
"Nice moves Tyson. You really went for it, didn't you? " Max congratulated Tyson, and went to join Rei and Kenny. Kai kept silent, but noted the moves and the victory, whilst Hilary was cheering and screaming as much as Tyson.
No one noticed the eyes watching them through the trees, the eyes that were not of Ozuma, but of another force…

Gothic: You love it, - don't you? Oh, aright, I'm kidding, but believe me, the flash from the past scenes in bold are necessary. Plz R&R!!
