I found that poem off the Internet but it was listed without a name so if you wrote it, or you know who wrote it then please let me know and I will put your name down for it as the author, I thought that this was a sincere poem and that I would share it with anyone who cared. Anyway here we are at chapter 4, I didn't really expect to get this far with it but I did and I will keep going with it. Now I'm going in a pretty weird direction but I think I know what I going to do with the story, so anyway here I go. Please remember to REVIEW! And here is the disclaimer.

Chapter 4
They had been walking for several hours now and all of them, Rheya, Calhoun, Terryal and Kai, were starting to feel the effects of being out in the snow for to long. Their hands where numb, their feet were cold and the snow had begun to fall harder in the last half hour.
"Look, over there's a cave," said Rheya over the wind "were not so short of time that we want to risk frost bite just to get there sooner, If we wait for the storm to blow over a bit then it would be better for all of us,"
"Your right," said Kai " We can continue in the morning, it shouldn't make that much difference in the long run,"
With that decided they made their way to the small sheltered cave to wait out the storm. When they got in they dropped their bags on the floor and looked around to make sure there wasn't any animals trying to find shelter as well. After they were sure they were alone they started to set up camp. Terryal pulled out a smaller bag that was attached to his own that happened to store some dry firewood, and proceeded to make a fire so as to warm their temporary home. Calhoun pulled out some food and started to prepare a meal on the small fire in the center of the cave and in no time everything was warm and the scent of food filled the air. Once everything was cooked they all settled down for a meal, when Calhoun brought up the question Kai had hoped they had all forgotten,
"Kai, I find it hard to believe that you didn't have a team before this, what happened? why aren't you with them?"
"I did have a team before this, but I didn't deserve a team that patient. Before now I lived by a very different set of values, and the way I acted was unforgivable, I was cold, harsh, bitter and lonely, I pushed them away when they tried to befriend me, and by the time I realized that I had been manipulated into that state if mind it was to late. They had already moved on, so I decided to leave, they could find a captain that was better then I was, that's what I was doing on the train, escaping that life," said Kai, awaiting a response from the others.
"What happened to you before doesn't make a difference now, it was your life and your decision to make, it doesn't effect your place with us or the team," said Rheya earning nods of agreement from the others as well.
"Thank you," said Kai
"What happened to your team anyway?" asked Terryal "Who knows they probably threw a celebration because I left and then went on with their lives," replied Kai " It doesn't really matter either way I'll be the last thing on their minds now."
~~To wherever the Bladebreakers are now~~
They had been following the trail that Kai and whoever he was with had left for what seemed like forever. The snow had recently started to fall harder making their progress slower then usual.
"Rei, don't' you think we should make camp soon?" said an exhausted Tyson
"Don't you realize that Kai and the other people his with had a big head start? Who knows how far ahead of us they are. Our only hope of catching up would be if they stopped early because of the weather and we continued on regardless," Said Rei, a slight edge of desperation creeping into his voice.
"Your right Rei, we need to keep moving if we stand any chance," said Kenny "It's to bad we don't have a way of finding him more easily,"
"Well we don't so let's keep moving, we have to get to him before Biovolt does," said Rei starting off again. The others slowly continuing after him as they trudged on.
It was only an hour or two after this conversation that they bladebreakers noticed a small light in the distance. When they saw it, it occurred to them all at once that this was probably were they had set up camp, and with renewed hope they set off at a faster pace, eventually turning it into a jog.
Back in the cave they were relaxing in their sleeping bags, Rheya and Terryal about to fall asleep, Kai staring into the fire and Calhoun watching for any sign of movement outside, when all of a sudden Calhoun said "I think I see something coming towards us,"
The other three sat up and squinted through the snow as well.
"I think your right," said Rheya "but what is it?"
"It looks like a group of people," said Terryal answering her question "but what would people be doing out here?"
"Oh shit," whispered Kai "Um guys, I think that may be my team,"
"WHAT!" they all said simultaneously
"I'm going out to get them," said Rheya gathering up her coat and putting it on and before any of them could object she had rushed out into the snow to see if she could help.
The Bladebreakers had been walking towards the light they had seen for about half an hour now, and it had been growing steadily brighter, when they realized that someone was making their way towards them. When the figure grew closer they realized that it was a girl with hair that was mid- back length and was almost as white as the surrounding snow except for the bit of blue that flowed through it. She came up to them and introduced herself,
"Hi, my names Rheya, if you want to come with me, you can share our food and fire from our camp we've set up in that cave, it's not much but it's better then nothing,"
Eagerly accepting the offer they followed her back to the cave, when they stepped in they noticed two boys waiting by the entrance, one with black hair, the other with brown, who helped them with their bags and as they walked in further they noticed another face,
"KAI," they all yelled thankful that they had found their captain at last.
"Kai, we've been looking for you everywhere, Dude, you should've known that I wasn't being serious when I said what I said, we never wanted you to leave," said Tyson, wanting to get out everything that had been bottled up inside him for nearly a day.
"Tyson slow down, I'm sure Kai knew what he was doing and the last things he wants now is for everyone to be gushing over him," said Rei
"He he, yeah I suppose your right, sorry," said Tyson sheepishly.
Rei refocused his attention on the new faces "Sorry, I didn't introduce myself, my name is Rei and this is Tyson, Max and Kenny," he said pointing to each one as he did.
"Hi, as I said before, my name is Rheya and this is his brother Calhoun and his Friend Terryal,"
"I hate to interrupt the introductions," Kai interjected " but I take it there's a reason you followed me out here in this snow storm,"
"Your Right," said Kenny, Rei continued from him, "Not long after you left Tala came looking for you" everyone could hardly miss the expression that crossed Kai's face when Tala's name was mentioned "He said that Biovolt was looking for you, that you were going to lead their new plan, so we had to try and find you before they did,"
"What are you talking about? What's Biovolt?" asked Terryal
"Biovolt was a company that was owned by my grandfather, they ran a training school through it called the Abbey that was meant to produce perfect beybladers, but instead they used it to train bladers into an army they were going to use to take over the world, they would have to, if not for Tyson," Kai explained keeping it as simple as possible. "Well it's to late to do anything about it now, it's getting to dark outside, I suggest we go to sleep and look after things in the morning," said Calhoun.
With this excellent idea voiced they all went about getting the Bladebreakers fed, comfortable and into bed, in less then an hour everyone was asleep, everyone, that is, except for a blue haired teen who was sitting by the fire.
~'Why? Why again? Why did they have to come after me again? Wasn't it bad enough that they almost ruined my life the first time, now they need me a second time, for some god only knows what sort of crackpot scheme. How far will they pursue me? Will I ever escape their grasp? Is there ever any escape other then giving in or death?'~ these thoughts and many more chased their way through Kai's head for many hours until he noticed a pair of ice blue eyes watching him.
"Are you alright?" Rheya asked quietly
"I don't know," said Kai seriously in a world of his own, suddenly he said, "The fire's dying down, I'm going to see if I can find some more dry wood,"
"Hang on, I'll come with you, it's not a good idea to go outside by yourself," and the two of them went out into the woods to find some wood.
Had they taken the time to survey the surrounding area they may have noticed the silenced snowmobiles coming across the snow about 1km of in the distance. (A/N: I'm not even sure they exist, but I needed something like that for the story, so if they don't exist I just invented them ^__^)
Lenin and Georgy instead of having walk the distance like everyone else, had been given two silenced snowmobiles with boots big enough to fit several large bags each or as the case may be several bodies. (A/N: I know next to nothing about snowmobiles and terminology associated with them so sorry if it's wrong).
They had parked their machines about 100 meters from the cave and walk the rest of the way using deadly stealth. When they looked in they got a bit of a surprise, they had been expecting one blue haired teenager, not 6 teenagers asleep around a fire.
"We need to call Boris," said Lenin, so they both retreated a small distance from the site and pulled out their phones and called the Biovolt labs
"There's more then one kid, what do you want us to do?" said Lenin
"Grab Kai, and maybe one or two of the others, we can use them as bargaining chips if the need arises," said Boris over the phone he then promptly hung up leaving them to their own devices. So they made their way back.
They pulled out a bottle of chloroform each as well as an old rag from inside their jackets and stepped inside.
"Which ones should we grab?" asked Lenin
"Grab the one with blue hair, and those two over there," he said pointing at Terryal and Calhoun.
So they went about their work grabbing each one and then smothering them with the cloths before they could make a sound and alert the others. Soon they were outside loading the bodies into their vehicles and within ten minutes of their arrival they were gone into the night.
Kai and Rheya came back about 15 minutes after they left, arms filled with firewood, and as soon as they stepped in they noticed something was off. Kai knelt down and shook Rei awake.
"Rei, were did Terryal and Calhoun go? And where's Tyson?"

Okay that's another chapter down the drain. I realize that these chapters are getting a bit long but there's not much I can do about it because once I start I cant stop, so oh well. I think that the next one won't be quite as long. Thank you so much to all those who have reviewed the story so far *hands out gift bags of goodies* (You can fill it whatever you want ^_~) but remember that you can still review some more, so review to your hearts content. Please REVIEW!! ^__^.
