Kai was slumping forward, held up only by the chains around his wrists, and non-too gracefully throwing up blood.
His so-called 'grandfather' and Boris were standing in front of him, observing his actions with slight expressions of disgust.
Once Kai finally stopped, leaving him panting desperately for breath, Voltaire took the opportunity to kick Kai at the knees, causing his legs to crumple beneath him and more pressure to be put on his wrists.
The teen managed to lift his head slightly, so that he could see the two adults through his hair.
Both were wearing malicious grins, malevolent glints could be seen in their narrowed eyes, and all in all, they looked ready to kill him without hesitation.
Needless to say, they were both enjoying their payback.
Kai's head slouched forward and his hair once again prevented him from seeing any more. Not that he really wanted to.
A back handed slap landed on his cheek, the rings on Voltaire's fingers cutting the skin.
Time for round two...
The beating stopped abruptly as security alarms rang through the abbey, only to be stopped a few moments later.
Voltaire and Boris stopped, slightly worried. A radio on Boris' belt crackled to life. "Uh, sir? We seem to be having some trouble with the computers at the control room..."
With a growl of irritation, the two men turned and left through the doorway of the cell, Boris paused for a moment, looking back at the beaten boy, "Enjoy you're break while you can, because we'll be back very, very soon..."
As he was once again left alone in the cell, Kai fell into dark unconsciousness.
***
The remaining BladeBreakers were hiding in the shadows near the Abbey, Kenny typing rabidly on Dizzi while the others watched. "Come on, Kenny! Hurry up!"
"Just hold on, I'm almost done..." As if on cue, the alarms went off, causing the other three to jump, then were silent again. "That should do it! Now go!"
Not needing any more encouragement, the three in question ran to the doors, as the guard ran from his post in order to find out what was going on.
Tyson opened the door and glanced around, "All clear, lets go!"
With a nod, the three rushed deeper into the hell known as the Abbey, in search of their lost friend.
***
Boris and Voltaire stormed into the control room to find the technicians vainly trying to work the computers. The computers themselves were doing everything but what they were supposed to. One had turned itself off, and refused to be turned on again, another had a white a screen and the rest had static.
"What is going on here?!"
The technicians turned to their employers, "Sir, the computer systems are malfunctioning."
"I can see that! What are you doing about it?"
"We're doing everything we can, sir, but nothing seems to be working." The head technician explained.
And the technicians could only winch as Boris began to make threats to the other.
***
The three teens ran through the hall, trying to remember the directions Kenny had given them to reach the holding cells where they assumed Kai would be.
They paused as they came to a fork, "Which way?"
"Uhh..." Ray's head snapped to the left as he heard footsteps coming from that direction, "Right!"
Diving down the right passage, they ducked into an empty room, waiting for the guards to pass.
"Hey guys!" Tyson and Ray turned to Max, who was standing next to a set of stairs, "I think we found our way down!"
Tyson grins, "That's great, Maxie! Now come on, lets go!"
Going down the stairs and into another corridor, they came face with two guards, Tyson blinked once, before yelling, "RUN!!"
Not needing any more encouragement, the other two ducked past with Tyson, running down the corridor with the guards in hot pursuit.
Tyson suddenly took out his beyblade and launched it at the guards, summoning Dragoon, who rendered their attackers unconscious with ease.
Ray sent a half-hearted glare in Tyson's direction, "We're trying to be inconspicuous, here!"
Tyson glared back, "Oh, like strangers who, incidentally, beat the Abbey's team in the championship, being chased by guards is an everyday event!"
"Hey, come on guys, we're here to find Kai! Remember?"
Ray sighed, "Max is right, lets go." And with that, they sprinted off again.
***
A few minutes later, they were wandering down the dimly lit halls of the lowest area of the Abbey. They could hear water dripping somewhere, and it was cold. But mostly they shivered from the sights they could see within each cell, increasing their worry about Kai.
"He's got to be around here somewhere... HEY, KAI!? CAN YOU HEAR US??"
"Tyson! Be quiet, we don't know if there are any guards around here or not."
"Uh, guys...? I think I found him..."
Tyson and Ray looked over at Max, who was standing up ahead, staring into one of the cells, the colour draining from his face.
Tyson and Ray ran up, looking into the chamber. Neither could stop the gasps of horror that broke out of their throats.
Blood was streaked across the walls and floor, small pieces of torn clothing littering the corners. Hanging on the wall opposite them, held up by his wrists, was their unconscious team captain. His hair hung more loosely than usual, clumped and coated together with blood. His face, contorted into an expression of pain, was flecked with the same crimson substance. The triangles standing out more than ever against the pale face.
His clothes were torn, and stained dark with the blood that was still dripping from the many open wounds that covered his body.
"KAI!!"
The three of them forced the door open, rushing to their blue-haired teammate. Tyson shook him gently as Ray tried to remove the chains that bound Kai's wrists.
"Kai, can you hear me? Come on, this isn't funny!" Tyson's voice came closer to cracking with every word.
Kai stirred, ever so slightly, making a slight sound deep in his throat. The other three nearly fainted with relief as confused and pained garnet eyes forced themselves open.
Kai blinked in bewilderment, not quite sure how to piece together what was going on. Wasn't he back in the Abbey? Or had it all been another of those dreams? ...No, he hurt too much for it to have been a dream.
So what were Ray, Max and Tyson doing here?
"Kai, are you okay?" Mentally, Ray slapped himself, of course Kai wasn't okay! "Say something." He gave up trying to pull off the chains, and looked around for a key.
"...What?" Kai's voice was quiet and hoarse, and he couldn't collect his thoughts enough to complete his sentence. Max and Tyson were in a state of shock; they couldn't believe what Kai had gone through.
Grinning as he found a key hanging just outside the chamber, Ray unlocked the restraints. Unable to support himself, Kai fell forward, only to be caught by Ray and Tyson.
Realizing that he hadn't answered Kai's earlier question, Tyson spoke up as they half lead, half carried Kai out of the chamber, "What's it look like? We're busting you out of here!"
Kai: -_- What is is now?!
