Chapter3:

Kai slid the door open. He was thinking hard when he noticed how quiet it was. By now Tyson would usually be eating 3 whole chocolate cakes. But he just sat there, grim. The color was drained from his face. Kai walked over to his teammates.

He could sense something was wrong. "What happened?" he questioned Hillary. She gulped and responded. "Max. She took Max." Kai shook her but she said no more.

Rei, on the other, picked up where she left off. "She took Max. She thought he was you but she took him as a hostage. She wants you to meet her and she left this note."Rei handed it to him. Kai took it and read vigorously.

Kai!

You will meet me at King's Rock at 6:00 P.M. or else your friend get's it. When you come you can ask him how he likes hanging 400 ft. above the sea! Come alone.

Paine

Kai's was boiling. "Who! Who did this! Who!" he spat. Tyson licked his lips. "It was Klara." Kai froze as he heard the words and stuttered, "K-K-Klara?"

Tyson gulped and nodded. Rei put his hand on Kai's shoulder. "Do you know her? What happened between you two?" he ask. Kai shrugged Rei's hand off.

"Nothing. It's just talk." he said sternly. "Kai," Tyson said angrily. "TALK!" Kai growled but gave in. "It was two years ago. Before I met Tyson, before I met any of you. I had just gotten Dranzer from Voltaire." he paused, and continued.

" I was cold, mad, and power-hungry. I was at the World Championships when we clashed. Final match. She really was giving me trouble and then I just, I dunno, lost it.

"I ordered Dranzer to tear up her blade. She tried to fight back with her own bit-beast, but wasn't strong enough. She lost. Her blade was smashed and her bit-beast...dead.

"I ordered Dranzer to do it, and he obeyed without question. I remember. He had Cougara in his talons, 80 ft. above the ground. And then he fell. He just fell and exploded into light. There. That's it. Now you know. Happy?"

They were quiet. "I'm going." Kai said suddenly. Hillary jumped and grabbed his arm. "You can't go. We've already lost Max. We don't need to lose you too." she sobbed.

Kai yanked his arm away and mummbled, "She said come alone. Besides, this is my past, my business. It has nothing to do with you."

He continued walking. Tyson reached for him but Rei grabbed his arm and shook his head. He walked up to Kai and swirved him around. Next thing Kai knew he was on the ground with knuckle marks on his cheek.

Kai touched the sore spot. "That make it any clear for you?" Rei asked as he stood there, breathing hard. "Max was our friend too. We're all in this together, as a team. As the BladeBreakers." he seriously.

Kai smiled and took his hand. "Then what do you say we go and save Max and beat up Klara, as a team?" Kai joked. "Sure." Tyson said. "Oh by the way," Kai said frowning. "I lied." He grabbed Rei's arm and his fist met with his stomach.

Rei cursed, and fell to his knees. Tyson gasped and lunged. Kai dodged the attack and hit Tyson with a Judo Chop to the neck. He walked up to Kenny and took Dizzi.

He slammed the laptop on his skull and watched him collapse. He turned to Hillary and bowed his head. "I'm sorry." he said.

The back of his hand crashed into her face and she spun halfway in the air and fell. Kai shook angrily and muttered, "The note said 'come alone.' " and then he departed for King's Rock.

Paine looked at her watch. She was getting impatient. "Told you he wouldn't come. They're not stupid enough to fall for it." Max laughed.

Paine smiled as she saw the Kai coming over the horizon. "True. Unless his dumb blondie pet is in trouble." Paine smirked. Max growled. "So, let's get this match under way." Paine said as she turned to face Kai.

"When I win, you get ot watch me destroy Dranzer. The way you destroyed Cougara." she said. "You mean if you win, Klara." Kai smirked. "It's PAINE!" she hissed. "I'll defeat you, 'Paine'.and this time... for good!"

Kai bowed his head and gripped Dranzer hard until he noticed Paine was yawning. "Blah, blah, blah. You're just trying to postpone the match. I don't really care. Either way, I get my revenge.

"You could A: Not fight me and let Max fall to his doom. Or B: Fight me and lose your Dranzer forever when you lose. Choose. 5-4-3-2-..." Kai snarled, "Alright! We'll fight."

Paine smirked and pointed to the end of the cliff where there was a beystadium."That's where we fight." Kai walked up to the dish to acknowledge if it was legit. He nodded and the bladers prepared their gear and walked up to the dish. They took a deep breath and blurted "3, 2, 1, Let it RIP!"

Their blades smashed in mid-air flying to the edge of the stadium. "Let's rap this up quick. DRANZER!" Kai cried. The raging phoenix arised from the top, towering above them.

"Good technique, and your bit-beast is not bad either. But mines is better. REVENGE!" Paine snickered. The bounding wolf howled and showed itself as the cold wind nipped at Kai face.

The black and blue blades clashed, creating sparks. eDranzer dived for the wolf and grabbed it with its talons. "You may have a new bit-beast but that doesn't mean you'er any better than before. Looks like this match is going down the same way it did before, literally, if you know what I mean." Kai smirked.

The phoenix took flight with is prey. "Don't be so sure it's over yet..." Paine smirked and pointed up. Revenge opened its mouth wide and bit deep into the phoenix's talons.

Dranzer screeched and dropped the wolf. It twisted and landed on it feet. "What's going on? The hell!" Kai exclaimed. Paine's face was in a set expression of awe.

"It seems that the long gone spirit of Cougara fights along side me this day. The odds are stacked against you." she laughed. Revenge smashed Dranzer into a nearby hill-side.

The phoenix was being overwheelmed. The wolf's spikey black armor sliced at the bit-beast. "ICE COLD!" Kai heard Paine shout. The black blade rammed into Dranzer and knocked him over the edged, but he was still spinning, his enduance far from empty.

"Why don't we have a second round, but in a more comfortable place. Paine was shaking, her eyes were hungry for more action. Kai looked up at Revenge.

Ice cold winds blew from the wolf and circled Kai legs. Ice was forming. With sudden realization of what was happening Kai smashed his fist down on the ice. He heard a crack but it was not the ice.

He looked down at his hand. His knuckles were bruised and leaking blood. With his battered hands, he reached out and grabbed his launcher and beyblade. They released at the signale of " 3, 2, 1, Let It Rip!"

But Kai never heard Dranzer land. He collapsed to the ground as he heard footsteps coming. As he heard the approaching voices of the BladeBreakers...
