hello everyone...again.

thanks for all the great reviews! ^_^

Hilary's getting 'brave' in this chapter, and will be for a couple others too!

oh! and I realized that this story might be long....like over 25. I hope everyone doesn't mind.

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

Kai's eyes widened at what Boris said. He stuggled in his bindings.

The other team members gasped in shock and immediatly tried to get free.

"You monster! You can't do that!" Hilary called out.

Boris smirked at her and snapped his fingers. Instantly a man in the corner pressed a button on a machine and Kai's blue beyblade flew out into the dish.

"With this little device, we can make Dranzer come out of hiding. Any minute now." Boris said looking over at the beeping machine.

A bright light emerged from Kai's beyblade.

"No Dranzer! Go back in! Don't come out!" Kai yelled to his bitbeast, but to no avail.

Dranzer rose from her beyblade and looked around for her enemy, but found none. She looked down and saw Rei, Tyson and Max, and then looked to her other side to see her master.

She chirped, excited to see Kai, but then quickly relized that something was wrong. Kai and his friends were tied up, and Kai looked distressed.

"Dranzer! Quick! Get out of here!" Kai called up to his phoenix.

Dranzer flew over toward Kai and landed on the edge of the dish. She leaned over and brushed her face against Kai's cheek. Kai rubbed his face against his bitbeast's red feathers.

"You have to leave me now. You'll be destroyed! Go! Get out of here!" Kai yelled at the phoenix.

"I can't leave you!" Dranzer replied, tears forming in her golden eyes.

"Dranzer! I order you to leave!" Kai told her sternly, looking in the phoenix's eyes with a serious look.

Dranzer felt like she was being torn in two. She couldn't leave her master, but then again, she couldn't disobey him.

"How sweet." Boris commented, his voice full of sarcasm. "Do it now!"

The man standing by the machine nodded his head and pressed a couple more buttons. A net formed up above the beyblade dish, a net of electricity. It was specially designed to capture bitbeasts and disable them.

Dranzer, and the BladeBreakers all looked up and watched the net fall on the red phoenix.

The majestic bird cried out in pain as the net formed around her body, pinning her to the dish.

"DRANZER!" Kai cried out over the noise. "STOP IT NOW!"

Dranzer frailed about, trying to get her wings free so she could fly away.

Hilary, Kai and the rest of the BladeBreakers struggled also against their bindings. They needed to save Dranzer!

Hilary had gotten her ropes loose enough and was able to slip free. She ran over to the control panel and pushed the man out of the way. Boris and the other guards ran over to her as she was trying to figure out which button to push.

"Hilary!" Everyone yelled out as one of the guards came behind her and picked her off the ground.

"No!" She cried and immediatly squirmed to get out of the man's grip. She looked down at the machine and saw a red button. Using the heel of her foot, she slamed the button down, hoping it was the off switch.

"No!" Boris cried out.

The electric net faded away slowly, and Dranzer spread out her wings and took flight.

"Dranzer! Fly away! Now! Don't come back!" Kai yelled up.

With tears in her eyes, the phoenix nodded her head and broke through the ceiling and disappeared into the cloudy sky.

Everyone including Boris stared up into the enormous skylight the firebird had just created. Kai smiled and closed his eyes in relief. "She can find help now. I hope she isn't hurt." He thought.

"Blast! She got away. You little brat!" Boris yelled looking at Hilary who was still in the guard's grip. She only glared back at him.

Boris frowned. She was acting like Kai did. He growled and slapped her across the face.

Hilary cried out slightly, her cheek burning.

"Leave her alone!" Kai, Max, Rei and Tyson all yelled out.

"You touch her one more time and I'll kill you!" Kai called to Boris.

Boris smirked. "So Kai does have feelings for this girl...this could prove useful." He thought to himself. "Take those 4 away. I want to....speak with Kai."

The guard carried Hilary out the room. 2 more guards came over and cut Tyson, Rei, and Max loose from their poles and ushered them out the room, following the other guard and Hilary, leaving Kai with Boris alone.

Boris walked over to Kai.

"Your plan failed again. You'll never get Dranzer now." Kai said plainly.

A man followed Boris over with a tray. The tray held a single bottle and an empty shot.

Kai's eyes widened at the sight of that needle. He was sure it was the same stuff they put in him before. Boris took the bottle and the needle and filled up the shot.

Grabbing Kai's hair, he tilted his head to one side and aimed the needle for his neck. As much as Kai fought against it, the needle penetrated his skin, and the liquid was once again injected into his body.

Kai suddenly felt light headed again, and his body began to tremble. He wasn't even going to bother asking what it was again. He knew they wouldn't tell him. His vision became dark, and the last thing he saw was Boris's unhappy face, frowning at him. Then, everything went black.
