TT: Hi all! *ducks as an agry mob of Kai Lovers throws flaming objects at all* WAIT!! WAIT!! WAAAIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!
Crickets: chirp... chirp...
TT: As promised, in this chapter, KAI WILL WAKE UP!!!
Kai: Let me guess, because Ice-Queen threatened you?
TT: No, actually, its because my dad is making me wake you up. He says all the emails from the reviewers are clogging up our connection time.
Kai: So, no more nightmares?
TT: ^-^;; Probably not. I might make up one more, as a finale.
Kai: You have no idea what you're going to do next, do you?
TT: ^^;; Nope!
Kai: -_-' Help me...
TT: Anyway, thank you all for your reviews! ^__^ It makes me VERY happy! And I apologise for the delay... I've been sick... *sniffles*
Kai: *edges away from TT* just get this over and done with.
Disclaimer: If I owned beyblade, do you really think V-force would exist?

There was silence, for which Kai was actually quite grateful. He hadn't really enjoyed it when he knew his teammates were there, he hated them seeing him like this, so weak...
The older Kai was snapped out of his musing as his grandfather stopped ranting to his younger counterpart, which, of course, resulted in a sudden punch in the face.
Winching as blood ran down his face, garnet eyes stared up at Voltaire, desperately trying not to show emotion.
A large hand roughly grabbed him at the throat, holding him tightly as he was lifted off the ground. Nails dug into the soft skin of his neck, droplets of blood entering the welts around them.
Kai choked and thrashed, the desperate need to breathe over riding his sense of logic as he clawed vainly at the hand that held him.
The edges of his vision had started to go black, and he was unprepared for when he was abruptly flung headfirst into the nearby wall.
For a moment, as Kai lay on the ground, he saw stars. Then he focused himself enough to push himself to his knees, whereon he had to pause, lest he collapsed again.
Voltaire, unimpressed by the display of weakness, stormed over and brought his foot down of Kai's back, causing him to crash into the ground again. Glaring at the boy, Voltaire applied more pressure, taking the breath out of Kai.
Practically choking, Kai coughed and spluttered, as he frantically tried to wriggle out from under his grandfather.
Just when he thought he was about to loose consciousness, the scene changed. Instead of his grandfather, Kai found he standing, surrounded by icy cold, black flames, in front of him stood the terrifying dark creature that haunted his nightmares, its sinister gaze staring right into Kai's soul.
The darkness leapt up to meet him, consuming him, and Kai could do nothing to stop it, transfixed and frozen by Black Dranzer's glare.
Inwardly, Kai let out a scream.

"First Kai doesn't sleep, then he won't wake up! I wish he'd make up his mind..."
"It's been two days now. How much longer is he going to be like this?"
"You heard the doctor, Max, if he wakes up at all, it will probably be in the next week or so."
The usually cheerful blonde sighed; evidently the condition of his friend had gotten to him.
"Come on, guys, we've still got to train, Kai or no Kai."
"Yeah, I suppose..." Tyson sighed, "Buts it just not the same without the sourpuss..." He paused as he realized something, "Hey, where's Ray?"
***
"Kai, I don't know if you can hear me, but, if you can, please, listen..." The memories in front of Kai disappeared as he focused on Ray's voice.
'What's he doing here? Why hasn't he left me to rot, yet?'
"Kai, I know you're upset about those nightmares you keep having. And I know they must be memories from your past."
'Of course I'm upset about them! I've showed weakness in front of you, in front of all of you! I've lost any respect you and the others might have had for me, now...'
"But Kai, its nothing to be ashamed of. We know you've had a rough life, we don't expect you to be strong all the time."
'...?'
"Please Kai, listen to me. We don't care about your past, and you can't feel weak about what happened. If any of us had gone through what you have, we'd be worse off than you! You're strong Kai, unbelievably strong. And... We _need_ you Kai, we need you here."
Kai frowned, contemplating what Ray had just said, mostly so that he could ignore the new memory trying to play in his mind. Ray had sounded so desperate, so despairing. Was it possible that Ray was just a really convincing actor, or did he really miss him?
"Kai, you've got to believe me, we don't care about how weak you see yourself, your still the same person to us, and if anything we think you're stronger than we did before... Please Kai... Wake up..."
Kai contemplated, he wasn't sure how or why, but he believed Ray. With a new determination, he fought against the darkness.
***
"Ray." The black haired teenager turned from where he sat next to Kai's bed to find his teammates standing there, each bearing a face similar to his own despairing one. "Come on, Ray, we have to go."
Nodding, Ray reluctantly got up, walking to the doorway.
A slight moan made him stop in his tracks.
***
The first thing Kai was aware of was that he hurt.
A lot.
Then he became aware of other things, the voices of his teammates for one. Kai tried to move, but found he couldn't. It was as if his body were made of lead, he simply didn't have the energy to move.
Kai tried to open his eyes, but it were as if they were welded shut.
Inwardly frowning, Kai continued to try and pry his eyes open. His brow creased for a moment, before, with slight sound of discomfort at the bright light, garnet eyes opened to the world again.
"KAI!!!"
