In the last chapter of Emptiness:

(("I will avenge my family Kai Hiwatari."

Her fingers raced across the keyboard as she typed in the recieving e-mail address.

She selected 'Unsigned' and sent the e-mail to the laptop of the Bladebreakers' manager.

The blue-haired beyblader needs a remainder.))

((Blood dripped from her arm as the sharp tool pierced her skin. But she didn't wince once, as there was no pain.

When she had finally finished, Russian and Japanese words were outlined with blood on her upper left arm.

y6NBATb Muhon-nin))

(("Battle form. Choose strategy," the voice came once again.

"I hate this stupid voice," Kazuki thought.

"Choose strategy,"

Why not give it a shot?))

(("Who should I take down next?" Kazuki asked the remaining three boys, glaring at them each in turn.

Kazuki had grown to love being ruthless in battle.

As she stopped her gaze at Tala, she looked away quickly and made sure that her transmitter and reciever were off. She didn't want him to barge in on her thoughts. She couldn't let him get close.

"Engage Strategy Four," she thought to the digital voice, "Target, Wolborg,"))

----------

Chapter Thirteen: Engage

"Where were you Kai?" Tyson asked as Mr. Dickenson arrived with the Bladebreakers' team captain at the door.

"None of your business," Kai muttered and sat down in one of the sofas.

"Come on now kids," Mr. Dickenson started before Tyson could make another smart comment.

The boys all looked up at the white-haired man.

"We'll be heading to the Scottish BBA office today to set up a Beyblade Battle Bash," Mr. Dickenson said, "I'll be hosting the party and all of you are invited to compete!"

At this, he indicated to the Majestics.

"We will be delighted to join you," Robert agreed and looked at his team members to see if they agree as well.

Enrique and Johnny nodded. Oliver, who seemed to have gotten better from his defeat after he had seen Johnny's large collection of French portraits, was having a heated conversation with Jackie and nodded to Robert before continuing on with his chatting.

"Good," Mr. Dickenson said and headed out the door.

The other boys followed with Oliver and Jackie bringing up the rear, still having their conversation.

----------

Tala stood looking at Kazuki as she defeated Bryan.

"She had gotten stronger since the last time we practiced," he thought.

"I have, and now I'm going to show you by how much," Kazuki's transmitter had been turned on again.

Tala was surprised that Kazuki had read his mind without him knowing so, "She's getting better at executing the programs," he thought.

Tala then instructed his snow wolf bit beast to attack, "Blizzalog!"

Wolborg howled and sent a wave of ice spears at the yami.

"Mirror Wall!" Kazuki wasn't really paying attention to the battle anymore, knowing that her inner computer will figure out what to do next.

Zenborg transformed into its hikari just in time to block a few large sharp icicles from hitting it with its unseen wall of protection.

"Close," Tala muttered, "Again Wolborg!" he called.

Wolborg leaped off of the ice-covered surface of the river and sent waves of rock-hard ice pellets at the swan.

Not receiving any orders from Kazuki, Zenborg stood its ground and allowed the ice to hit its wings, making them freeze.

It didn't scream in agony like other bit beasts, just awaited Kazuki to give it its orders.

"Wait," Kazuki thought, "wasn't that computer supposed to give out orders?"

"Search faults," she commanded in her mind.

"No faults found," the voice replied.

"Does that mean that the strategy was to get Zenborg hurt?" she thought to herself.

Growling at that, Kazuki said, "Quit form, engage normal form,"

"Normal form engaged,"

"Guess I'll have to do this battle myself," she thought, "Might as well.."

Her silver eyes turned back to brown as her inner computer went into resting mode.

"Now!" Kazuki said, "Silver Radiance!"

With a large concentration of light, Zenborg shot two beams of light at Wolborg's eyes.

Not realizing that Kazuki had waited until Wolborg was confident that it was winning, the wolf staggered as the beacons of light blinded it.

Tala growled in his throat and shouted, "Wolborg!"

"Don't give it a second chance!" Kazuki commanded, "Nightmare Shadow!"

The yami appeared and finished off the wolf howling in pain.

Tala stood there looking at his non-spinning Beyblade with a frown, but picked it up and went over to stand beside Bryan at the shore.

"Two more to go," Kazuki said, "And this time, I'm doing it myself,"

----------

"So Mr. D," Tyson said as he walked alongside Mr. Dickenson through the streets of Johnny's hometown, "is the Scottish BBA office as large as the other ones?"

"Actually," Mr. Dickenson replied, "All of the offices' sizes are based on how many Beybladers there are registered in that country."

"Really?" Tyson asked, "Cool."

"We're here," Johnny announced at the front of the procession.

"Whoa!" Max marveled as he stared at the large building.

"You guys must have a lot of registered Beybladers," Ray commented as he saw the Scottish BBA office.

The boys followed their director inside the building.

As Kai entered through the doors, he thought to himself, "I wonder if Changer is registered in the system."

----------

Without her data displayer to guide her, Kazuki decided to target Spencer's bit beast.

She looked up at her black swan and nodded.

Zenborg, sensing its mistress' orders, headed towards Seaborg.

"Seaborg! Voda Impact!" Spencer told his bit beast.

Seaborg roared and sent a tsunami towards the flying swan.

"Higher!" Kazuki shouted.

Zenborg flew out of the wave's reach and once again prepared for its Nightmare Shadow attack.

"Seaborg! Hit it with your tail!" Spencer called.

Seaborg obeyed and swung its massive tail at the approaching swan.

Kazuki watched as Zenborg's yami was struck with the iron tail of Seaborg.

Tala watched in the sidelines, "Why isn't she using the Dark Hole attack? She could have eliminated all of us with one blow."

Back in the battle, Kazuki was debating over the same topic.

"No, I need to beat them with the least power possible," she decided, then added, "Plus, Dark Hole wastes too much spiritual energy to use consecutively on two days,"

"Zenborg! Try your Nightmare Shadow again! Aim for the tail!" Kazuki commanded.

The black swan charged towards Seaborg and purposely paused outside of Seaborg's reach when it swung its tail again.

This time, Seaborg was too slow to react to Zenborg's swiftness and fell prey to the dark wing blades.

Spencer clenched his teeth as Seaborg fell and dissolved before it hit the surface of the frozen ice.

The light blue Beyblade fell to the blond boy's feet and, picking it up, he walked over to join the other two boys.

Before the last boy could react, Kazuki had already started to shift her glance at the last remaining survivor, Ian.

An evil smile crossed her lips.

----------

While the battle on the river was occurring, a security camera located on the outer walls of the building nearest the frozen body of water was catching the action on tape.

Boris was watching the match on a large monitor with Voltaire sitting beside him.

"What do you think Voltaire-sama?" Boris asked as he monitored processes shown on a laptop in his hands.

"Your experiment was a splendid success," Voltaire commented, "But how come she stopped the battle form right in the first battle?"

Boris frowned, "She probably doesn't feel used to using the system," he replied, "But I'm sure it will become more useful in future battles."

Voltaire smiled, "She will surely be the one right for the job," he turned his eyes on Boris' red lens behind the mask, "but don't inform her of the plans yet, not until I find my devious little grandson and make sure that she strikes at the time I want her to."

"Yes sir," Boris said with an evil grin matching the one on Voltaire's face.

The two then turned back to watch the screen as Kazuki turned towards her last prey with a sneer.

A/N: Only two translations today! Voltaire-sama sounds sooo good. (I just had to say that..sorry) The battle part may seem a bit of a repeat but I wanted it to happen so that I don't skip too much time..Anyways, please review! And don't hesitate to point out any mistakes that I've made cuz this is my first try at a fic. Ja ne!

A/N: In case you were wondering, ja ne is a friendly form of 'see you' or 'goodbye', I also use arigato too, which means 'thank you'. And also, gomenasai means 'sorry' and onegai means 'please' (I think).
