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

"What the hell is happening!?" Nikolai looked at his hands, his crimson eyes wide.

"You should have killed us when you had the chance. You've made a fatal mistake Nikolai!" Kai said as he stood up from the ground.

"Impossible!" Nikolai yelled as he pushed himself to his feet. "No! There's no way you could have regained them that quickly!"

Kai smirked at his uncle as the older man quickly exchanged glances between Hilary and Tala, and his nephew.

"No! I still have some power left!" He chuckled and extended his hands out to Kai.

Suddenly, an invisible force pushed Kai backward slightly, but the teen brought his arms in front of his face and stood his ground.

"I will kill you! Every single one of you!" Nikolai's eyes widened even more as he forced all the stolen power he had at his nephew.

"AHHH!" Kai cried out in pain as an unknown object hit him in the right eye. His hand immediately went up to cover it, giving Nikolai's psychic attack an opening.

The teen was knocked off the ground and thrown onto the snow covered ground.

"Come on Tala! Kai needs you!" Hilary pleaded as she propped the red head against the side of the house.

He moaned as he opened his eyes. His body was completely drained of energy from Nikolai's earlier assault.

There was a loud explosion, drawing both Hilary's and Tala's attention over to the fight.

Kai rolled on the ground and brought himself to his knees. Blood was pouring from his face and dripped to the ground, staining the snow a deep crimson.

"There's no escape! Now die!" The evil Russian was suddenly in front of the wounded teen with his fist raised.

Kai got up and dodged it just in time as snow flew in all directions as his uncle's fist connected to the ground. The teen began to retreated from the older Russian, but his foot slipped in the snow, giving Nikolai another chance for attack.

"When will you learn that you can't beat me!" The Russian grabbed the teen's neck and pulled him off the ground and held him in the air.

Kai gasped for breath and tried to free himself.

"Tala? Tala! Wake up!" Hilary cried, shaking the red head.

His blue orbs opened slightly as he moaned, his body still too weak to do anything.

Hilary placed her hands on the teen's shoulders and closed her eyes. "I hope this works."

She concentrated hard, tapping into her underdeveloped power to try and heal her friend before Nikolai killed Kai.

Tala began to feel warm inside and eventually his pain began to slowly cease.

"Try and hurry Hilary!" The red head teen whispered as he watched Kai continue to struggle.

"This was too easy." The purple haired Russian chuckled.

Kai's throat began to feel hot under Nikolai's bare hand. A sizzling sound filled the teen's ears as smoke began to emerge from his skin.

He cried out in pain as his skin burned. He felt his life drain into his uncle's hand.

Nikolai smirked as he watched the young teen's skin turn a light gray, and his once bright eyes dull as the crimson color drained into an ugly pale brown.

Soon, the teen's cries silenced, and his struggling stopped.

"No!" Tala exclaimed, jumping to his feet and charging at the man.

Hilary let out an exhausted sigh and rested against the wall of the old house. She had only healed Tala slightly, yet she felt like she brought him back from the dead.

The red head slammed into Nikolai, tackling him to the ground and forcing him to release his grip on Kai.

The blue haired teen fell face down onto the ground, his blood seeping through the snow around his head.

"You monster!" Tala yelled at Nikolai, extending his hands at the older Russian and sending a blast of psychic energy directly into his face.

The blast forced Tala off his body and into the air. He landed roughly on the ground, panting for breath.

Nikolai lay motionless on the snow, blood flowing from his face and into the snow around him.

"D...did I do it?" He closed his eyes and took a gasp of the winter air. His body had expired and went limp, collapsing backward. He laid still on his back for a moment before opening his eyes again and staring into the night sky.

"Tala!" Hilary rushed over to his side, panting for breath as well.

They both stared at the motionless body for a moment. Suddenly, his arm twitched and Hilary screamed. Tala forced himself up on his elbows and looked over at the brunette, then at the body of his friend's evil uncle.

Tala gasped as he stared at the Russian. He sat up and slowly got to his feet, a menacing chuckle erupting from his throat. "No! It...it can't be!" His blue eyes went wide.

Nikolai's face was covered in cuts. Blood seeped out from under his eyes, his nose was bleeding, his lips were cut in multiple places, and large wounds dripped with crimson from his forehead and cheeks.

"I told you, there's no way you can beat me!" He proceeded over to the two teens.

"Hilary! Run away!" Tala tried to push her away, but it was too late. Nikolai was already towering above the two teens, staring down at them, his crimson eyes glowing brightly in the darkness.

Hilary screamed as he grabbed a hold of her neck and brought his boot down on Tala's stomach.

"You've become quite the pest little lady. I should have started with you first! How does it feel to know that your power killed your boyfriend?" He smirked at the frightened girl.

"No! No! He's not dead!" Tears began to fill Hilary's eyes as she struggled to breathe. She looked over at Kai's motionless form in the snow. "Kai! Wake up! Please wake up!" She cried out desperately, but her cries went unheard. "No...."

Nikolai laughed as he applied more pressure to Tala's gut, causing him to call out in pain.

Becoming bored with the red head, he kicked him aside with great force, knocking the teen into unconsciousness.

"I will enjoy killing you. I just wish I could have seen you that day at the abbey." He licked the blood from his lips and stared at her.

Hilary squirmed more as his grip around her neck tightened.

Nikolai forced her into the side of the house and brought his face closer to hers.

"Get away from me!" She commanded, bringing her fist around and connected with his face.

Nikolai cursed and grabbed her wrist, squeezing the life out of it.

Hilary moaned in pain as she tried to wrench it free, and suddenly screamed as a sickening crack rang through her ears.

Nikolai chuckled and released her wrist. Hilary cried out in more pain as it fell motionless to her side.

"You just broke your own wrist. How amusing." Nikolai smirked and took out a knife from his pocket with his free hand, never letting go of Hilary's neck. "Now...how should I kill you?" He waved the knife in front of her face, bringing it's blunt edge around Hilary's jaw.

She whimpered as the cold metal touched her skin.

The BladeBreakers were beginning to get impatient as they continued to wait for the doctor come back out. After 10 more minutes, he finally walked around the corner and entered the waiting room.

"Mr. Dickinson? Miss Chouwa has awakened, and she desperately wants to see you." The doctor had a serious look on his face.

The elder nodded and stood up.

"I need....to speak with Mr. Dickinson!" Izumi pleaded weakly, trying to sit up in the hospital bed.

A few nurses were trying to calm the injured woman down, but she was clearly frightened about something.

"Izumi?" An elderly voice asked.

"Oh...Stanley....." The raven haired woman sighed and fell back onto the white sheets.

The nurses seemed relieved and left the room, leaving the BBA president and the young woman alone.

"How are you feeling?" Mr. Dickinson asked as he pulled up a chair next to her bed.

"Kai....." She started. She was beginning to drift off again, but she fought it.

"Shhh....just rest a moment."

The woman was breathing heavily through the plastic cup over her mouth and nose. Her whole upper chest had been wrapped tightly in thick bandages, and a small blood spot slowly seeped through her right shoulder.

An IV drip was connected to her right forearm and a small sack of crimson liquid was being pumped into her left arm.

"You put up quite a fight....I'm surprised you woke up as soon as you did."

"Stanley.....you must help them. Nikolai has them all!" Izumi suddenly said.

"I know...the police have been looking all over the city for them. We'll find them."

Izumi grabbed his wrinkled hand and gave it a soft squeeze.

"You know where they are..." Mr. Dickinson said, his eyes gazing down at the young woman.

"They're......in....." Her deep blue eyes began to close, but she tried desperately to hold them open. "They're in the...."

"Where are they Izumi?" Mr. Dickinson's eyes were wide, and he squeezed her hand softly, trying to get the vital information out.

"The Hiwatari Mansion....hurry...before....." Her voice faded as she fell into a deep sleep.
