hello again!
I'm so sorry for the LONG wait! I was accually going to post this chapter a few days ago, from another computer, but it didn't let me, so I forgot. I'm really sorry!!!
so, hopefully I can get my computer running up to speed again so I can upload much faster in the future.
Oh! By the way, I'm kindof getting writers block, and I'm running low on ideas for my other beyblade stories....I hope to update them someday...but untill I can get an idea I can work with, everyone will have to wait.
sorry...
anyway....here's the next chapter! Hope everyone like it....I put action in it, but there might just be too much!
lol

Kai slung his bag over his shoulder as he walked out of the airport. The cold winter air immediatly blew across his face. Kai closed his eyes. He had to admit to himself, he really did miss the cold. Adjusting his scarf, he walked down the steps and down the street.
"Alright. I have an hour to get to this...warehouse. If I remember, it shouldn't be too far away." Kai said to himself as he read the address on the note again.
After walking a few blocks, he came to an old area of town, each building looked as if it had been abandoned years ago. As he continued on, he suddenly found Lenin Street, and followed it. He began to rush through the alley, glancing at the numbers on each building. Eventually, he stopped at the right one.
"Well, here it is....what the heck is Nikolai thinking?!" Kai wondered as he examined the building. It had to be around a hundred years old. All the windows had been replaced with boards which had began to rot. Graffiti covered the exterior stone, and the roof hung at an angle. Kai grimaced at the filthy building but went up to the large wooden door. After pushing at it for a few moments, Kai decided to ram into it, which proved effective. The door just about flew off it's hinges, and the blue haired Russian stumbled inside.
Kai found his balance again and coughed. His sudden entrance had stirred up years of dust. Fanning the air, he continued inside the musty building, glancing in every direction. Kai wrinkled his nose as a pungent smell suddenly invaded his senses.
"What the heck died in here!?" Kai coughed and pulled his scarf up around his mouth and nose.
Graffiti again lined the walls and crates inside. Boxes upon boxes were stacked from floor to ceiling. A small metal box stuck out from the wall. Kai opened it and threw a few switches, and suddenly, lights flickered to life, illuminating a path in front of him.
"What's his game? Where the heck am I suppost to find the next clue?!" Kai was getting angry. He growled and kicked over the nearest crate. This startled some birds that were perched in the rafters above. Kai's attention shot upwards as he watched the birds fly out of a hole in the roof. He studied the ceiling for a moment, and finally noticed that there was another level up there! Something suddenly shimmered in the pale sunlight and Kai's eyes widened in excitement.
"Ah ha!" Kai exclaimed. "Now...how exactly do I get up there?" He looked around but only saw crates. He sighed to himself. "Duh!" The blue haired teen jumped up on a crate and began to climb upward.
After what seemed like forever, Kai managed to get close to his goal.
"Great..." He grumbled. There were no more crates left. He would have to make a jump for it. He looked to his right and saw a metal bar sticking out from the wall. It held a lamp and the end. It was positioned in just the right place! Kai lunged out and landed on the pole before jumping up again for the edge of the rafter. Just as Kai's weight hit the lamp pole, it broke off the wall. Kai gasped and frantically grabbed for the rafter. His fingers clutched the wood in a death grip just as the metal hit the warehouse floor, the lamp shattering to pieces. Kai sighed with relief as he hung in mid air. He grabbed a hold of the rafter and began to lift himself up to saftey. Suddenly, an enormous pain shot throughout his arms and chest. He cried out in pain and fell backward. He grabbed a hold of the edge again just in time. Kai couldn't move. He panted in pain and grasped his chest.
"Not now...I can't die like this!" Kai ground his teeth together and mustered up enough strength to pull himself up on the rafter again. He swung his leg up on the edge and rolled to saftey. He laid there on his back, starring up at the darkening sky through the hole and gasping for breath. He looked to his left and saw another metal box. It shimmered once again as the sun hit it. Kai rolled over and crawled to it. He looked at his watch again. 10 minutes left.
He opened the box and grabbed the folded sheet of paper from it. He rolled back over on his back as he began to read.
I must congratulate you again young Kai. You've made it this far. My game is nearly over. I'm at the place you'd least likely expect. I'll see you there.
Kai's forehead wrinkled in thought. "What the heck?!" This last note made no sense to him. "The place I'd least likely expect? Can't be the abbey...that belongs to the BBA and Tal....Tala!" Kai gasped. He hadn't even thought of trying to contact his friend! As he thought about it...Tala hadn't even contacted HIM about Hilary! He would of sensed her arrival here, not to mention Kai's. "Something's wrong."
"Tala? Can you hear me?" Kai thought. "Tala?!" There was no response.
"Oh God...no!" Kai shot up.
"Hilary!? Can anyone hear me!? Hilary!" He called out with his mind, almost despertly. Nothing. Nobody replied.
A beeping noise suddenly jerked Kai out of his trance. He looked over his shoulder at the box. It beeped again. Kai's eyes widened in fear as he scrambled over to the box again. He knocked it away with the back of his hand, and saw that it sat on top of another black box. A digital screen lit up with a count down, which was about to reach 1! Kai cursed and scrambled to his feet, running for the edge. He leaped off the rafters and flew through the air just as the box exploded! The force of the explosion sent Kai flying into the crates, shattering them as he sailed right through them. Kai finally landed in a crate filled mostly with straw, breaking his fall. Kai moaned and pushed himself out of the rubble. Fire had already started to break out, and since the content of the warehouse was dried out wooden crates, the fire began to spread at an alarming rate. Kai turned and began to run for the exit. He dived out just as the flames engulfed his path and blocked the door. The Russian teen picked himself up off the wet ground and ran further down the alley and back onto the street. People had already begun starring at the sudden fire. Kai heard sirens from a firetruck and began to walk at a quick pace in the opposite direction with a slight limp.
Kai kept looking over his shoulder at the growing commotion, hoping no one had seen him. He suddenly ran into something and stumbled backward. His head quickly shot around to see what he had hit.
"Kai! I've found you!"
Kai's eyes grew wide with surprise. "R...Rei!?" He took a few steps back, considering whether it would be wise to run in the opposite direction or not.
The Chinese beyblade jumped to his feet and embraced his captain in a tight hug.
"We were all worried about you, expecially Mr. Dickinson! Why did you leave without us?" He demanded in a serious tone.
"I..." Kai looked away.
"What happened to you?" Rei suddenly asked, seeing burn marks on his captain's cheeks and clothes. He gasped. "You've hurt yourself again!" He exclaimed noticing a dark spot on Kai's chest. His wound was starting to bleed again.
Kai growled. "I'm fine, just leave me alone! I have something to take care of." He began to walk away.
Rei grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks. "Not until we get you cleaned up. Then we can look for her together....okay?"
Kai looked over at the raven haired teen and sighed. "You don't understand!"
Rei rolled his eyes. "Yeah whatever...come on!" He began to pull him around a corner and down a new street.
