Well, here's the next chapter!

It explains how Kai got in his poor condition......more will be revealed later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boris hooked Kai's chains up to a wooden pole in the middle of the courtyard outside of the abbey.

The pole was situated on a dirt mound. In front of him was a wall from the abbey and to his left, another wall with windows.

"Those look like the dorms..."Kai said to himself.

A chainlink fence surrounded the area behind him.

Kai suddenly recognized this place, he had been here before! This was the place were kids were hooked up and left outside for a while, depending on what they did. Kai had been here when he refused to destroy a kid's beyblade when he beat him in a battle.

"So Kai. How are you feeling? Today will be the day that you die!" Boris told Kai, holding up his face to look him in the eyes.

Kai only glared. He really didn't know how long he had endured this torture for, but he kept a makeshit calendar in his cell. He guessed around almost 3 years.

Boris signaled someone from inside and 5 kids came out. They formed a circle around Kai and set up their beyblades in their launchers.

Boris chuckled as Kai looked around him.

"This is a trator to our good name! He must be punished!" Boris told the trainees.

These kids had hate-filled eyes.

"What have you done to these kids Boris!?" Kai demanded loudly. He tried again to get free, but it was useless.

"They are the latest subjects for our newest training program. They have been trained to hate anyone and they obey everything I say! Unlike you...and the earlier subjects."

Kai growled. He had turned these kids into mindless zombies!

"Get ready!" Boris shouted, raising a hand straight in the air.

The kids got into their launching positions.

"Attack!" Boris brought down his arm, and the trainees pulled their ripcords, sending their beyblades straight at Kai.

Kai closed his eyes and prepared for the pain that was coming.

The 5 beyblades tore at his skin, ripping through his clothes and spilling blood on the ground.

One hit him above his right eye, another slashed diagonally across his chest, while others slashed against his legs and arms.

Kai held back his pain, not wanting to give Boris the pleasure of hearing one of his strongest warriors in pain.

Suddenly, a beyblade hit him in the left temple and he instantly blacked out.

Drops of water woke him up. Kai moaned. His whole body was on fire! Everything was dark, and he realized it was night time. It was also raining heavily. His hair was soaked and sticking to his face.

He heard a loud crackle in the sky and a flash of lightning.

Kai opened one of his eyes but didn't raise his head. He watched as blood pooled below him. His blood....he was on his knees, unable to move at all. His arms were still bound to the pole, and his body weight was holding the collar that was also connected to the pole against his windpipe, causing him to have trouble breathing. He shivered as he suddenly realized how cold he was.

How long had he been out here?

He heard a movement to his right, but didn't bother to look.

"I guess this is how my life is going to end." Kai mumbled to himself.

He heard another sound, the sound of a ripcord. There was a clank as something hit the chains holding his pained body to the wooden pole.

Suddenly, the chains were broken, and Kai fell down face first in the mud. Someone rushed over to him and forced him to sit up.

"Kai! Wake up!" A familiar voice said.

Kai opened his eyes and looked over. "T...Tala?" He then went into a coughing fit.

The Russian blader nodded and began to wipe the blood flowing into Kai's eye.

"H..How long have I been out here?" Kai managed to say once he stopped coughing.

"About a week. I tried to get to you sooner, but Boris had kept me busy, and now I know why."

Kai swayed a little, about to lose consciousness again.

"Kai! No! Don't sleep! You have to get out of here!" Tala said trying to shake his friend from his dillusions.

Kai looked up and the Russian red-head dazed.

"You have to find Tyson and the BladeBreakers!" Tala heard something. He looked around frantically.

"Tyson....BladeBreakers?" Kai repeated softly.

"Yes! Go quickly!!" Tala pushed Kai off. "I cut a hole in the fence over there!" He pointed in the direction he came from.

Kai got up, stumbling a bit and ran off, climbing throught the hole in the fence Tala created.

Kai opened his eyes startled.

"Another dream..." He told himself. He place both his arms over his face. He was trying despertly to remember.

"What happened to me? How did I get to Japan?" He asked himself.

"Kai? You awake?" A voice asked.

Kai flinched and then brought his hand down and looked to his left. "You...."

Hilary was standing by the door with a bowl of soup.

"I thought you might be hungry. This will help you warm up too." She smiled.

Kai managed to sit up slightly and just stared at her as she made her way over to his bed and sat down. She handed him the bowl.

"Careful, it's hot." She warned.

Kai looked down at the soup. It had noodle like things swimming around in a yellow broth, but it smelt good.

"What is it?" He asked.

"It's ramen silly!" She giggled. How could anyone not know what ramen soup was!?

He sipped at it for a moment, then decided it was edible than began to drink it. It warmed up his body like a hot bath.

"Thank you." He said and smiled.

"What a gorgous smile!" Hilary thought. How could Tyson know someone this hott?!

"I'm......sorry about the other day.......I thought you were......someone else." Kai look ashamed.

"It's okay. Everyone explained what happened." Hilary placed a reasurring hand lightly on his shoulder.

He looked up into her eyes for a moment, then continued drinking his soup. When he was done, she made sure he took the medicine the doctor left and put a damp rag over his eyes. "Get some rest now. See you in the morning." Hilary said as she slipped out the door.
