As the puzzled bladers tried to figure this whole Demolition Boys rematch thing out, they didn't notice the sleeping gas being let out from the air vents.

5 minutes later

The bus driver glanced at the front mirror and saw 6 asleep teens. Then they broke out in an evil smile….

CHAPTER 17

Stand Your Ground

The BBA bus slowed down as in made a narrow turn onto a deserted road that led to an old building. As the bus bumped up and down the unpaved road, Tara slowly started to stir.

As her eyes tried to focus on her surrondings, she noticed that Ray had fallen asleep on her shoulder. She blushed and stared at the golden orbed blader. Then she noticed the two toned hair boy sitting behind her, also asleep. She felt bad for decieving him…. For not telling him the truth…. "Well-…. What he doesn't know can't hurt him…."

Just as the side door opened, she slipped her beyblade into Ray's left pant pocket. Just in time too for the stranger on the bus turned to Tara and grabbed her by her neck and dragged her off the bus.

Tara tried to kick and squirm her way free but it was no use. That man was just too much for her. The man finally lost his patience with her and slammed her into the side of the bus. The last thing Tara could remember was the smirk that the man was wearing and everything turning black….

"Augh! My head!" Tara moaned as she rubbed her temples. A sharp pain ran across her left shoulder as she tried to stable herself. As she focused on trying to stand up, she noticed a big, shadow above her head.

"Well, well, well…. What do we have here?" the man laughed evily. As Tara dared herself to to look the man in the eye, she regonized him right away.

"Boris?!?!?!? What do you want from me?" she demanded. The look of fear and disgust in her eyes made Boris angry. He grabbed her by the neck again and spat out his demand for her. "Give me your BitBeast now!!!!!!"

She stared into those dark eyes filled with hatred, loathe and evil and dared to respond "No! You'll never get my BitBeast! Never!"

Boris' breath shorted as her voice drowned out all his plans. "No! You'll never get my Bitbeast!" echoed throguh his mind. He snarled and slammed her head into the brick wall and she blacked out once again.

Back with the Bladebreakers

"K-k-kids, get ready to run. Make sure those bad men that were chasing us don't catch you. Pretend you're playing tag and those men are It. Now go… hurry… be careful." Said a woman whose face was all out of focus.

But the little girl wouldn't leave, she could see that something was wrong. The little boy next to her wouldn't leave either.

"Mommy, but why are those bad men chasing us? Did we do something wrong?" asked the girl. "Mommy? Mommy? Mommy!"

Something happened and the woman protecting the kids fell down. Blood tricked down her face and her eyes stared blankly at the floor.

The little girl looked at the dead woman with horror in her eyes… The boy just stood there, tears forming in his eyes. He grabbed the girl's hand and tried to pull her towards the roof access stairs. But it was too late… the men dressed in black had gotten onto the roof and grabbed each one of them.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! LET ME GO! HELP!" they both shouted. "HELP!"

Kai awoke from his dream and started to pant. "Why have I been having the same dream over and over again?" he pondered. "And who were those kids? They look so familiar but-…."

"-….Augh! Where are we?" Tyson interrupted Kai's thoughts as he yawned. "This doesn't look like the tournament!"

"Well duh! Tyson, don't you realize that we have been kidnapped?" mocked Ray. Kai's turned to his team mate. He hadn't realized that anyone else was awake yet.

"B-b-but! Why? And where are we?" Tyson sputtered.

"BioVault…." Kai replied with his eyes shut. He walked over to another corner of the cell that they were being kept in and sat down.

"Huh? What? Why would we be a BioVault? Aren't we supposed to fight their team in the rematch?"

"The tournament must have been a setup…. The action is supposed to take place here…." Ray realized.

"Ray's right! And I bet that the letter from Mr. Dickenson was a fake too!" Kenny added.

"By the way where's Tara?" Max piped up.

Tara awoke once again in a dark room. She shivered when she felt something near her. As she tried to stand to defend herself, she realized that she was mounted to the floor. Her wrists and ankles were tied by metal chains. "Thank god I left Statix…." She sighed in relief.

"Where's the BitBeast????" Boris snarled at Tara, traces of saliva flying everywhere.

"Like I'd tell you!" Tara shot back.

Boris ' eyes widened as he heard her remark to him. He grabbed a whip from the table behind him and thrashed her shoulder.

The pain made Tara want to cry, but she knew if she did, Boris would have won already. She knew she had to stand her ground…. No matter what.

When Boris saw how she fliched under the pressure of the whip, he smiled wickedly and whipped her again and again and again all over her body….

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

After a few hours that felt like an eternity to Tara, Boris finally got tired of looking at her helplessly allow herself to be hurt. He snarled at her and threw his whip at her, right across the back of her neck one last time efore leaving the prison cell.

Tara couldn't move. Pain was everywhere…. It was so great that she could barely breath. Her breath came out in huffs and puffs and after being stuck on the neck, she collapsed and blacked out once again.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Well, well, well…. What do we have here? Bladebreakers?" Boris mocked behind the cell bars that the Bladebreakers were trapped in on the other side.

"Where's Tara?" demanded Ray.

"She's a bit occupied right now. But why would you want to see Miss Tara Lynn Hitawari anyways?" he asked and when he said the end of the sentence he laughed evily.
