Chapter 38
The team gathered supplies and any weapons together, releasing the Adlets.
"Is everyone alright?" asked Max looking each of them over.
"we will be once we have left this place" said Harris.
"we shall find our blades then go for help" stated Naturo, as the four dog being ran off into the dark of the house.
"thank you for saving us" came a small voice as Jet appeared "and may the gods be with you" he prayed before leaving.
"well that was nice" said Max looking at the group, Tala and Bryan held the guns that they had earlier by there sides ready to attack, Lao couldn't keep his eyes of Kai still not really convinced that it was his little brother. Kai was trying to ignore the emotions that arose from Lao standing there also the fact his boyfriend looked ready to rip any of them apart if they didn't go after Lecoy and other others soon. Rei was prowling round the door of the area, glancing at Kai waiting until the older boy wasn't watching so he could go but his mates eyes where trained on him looking disapprovingly every time he pushed the door to go out. Drigger was watching his master and in the end pushed him away from the door much to the Neko's anger, and this ended up with Drigger and Rei having a growling match.
Ignoring the growled that where going on in the back, Kenny was typing away on his laptop and Dizzy was reeling information off at him.
"we need to get out of here" said Tyson, with a agreement from Dizzy.
"No Becca" said Rei breaking his match with Drigger for a second before it started again, the great tiger not backing down to his cub.
"Plan?" asked Max looking at the older ones.
"there's no way kitty there will go without going for the hunter" said Lao, receiving a hiss from Rei for the kitty comment.
"Don't call him that, Becca and Toleman did when they killed his parents" said Kai before sitting on the floor to think while resting, he could feel Dranzer healing the bullet wound but she would take awhile before it healed completely. He looked up as a shadow fell over him, Bryan stood above him.
"We could split up, we need evidence against the three to jail them and this place is full of it now they are hiding the other offices thinking we're being killed" said the Lavender haired boy looking thoughtful "what if one of us take chief, loud mouth and Blonde, save them getting into too much danger while the other keep their eye on the kitten over there"
"How about you go, you can take care of them if anything happens. We can take care of the others" said Tala coming over to them thinking it over. Kai nodded before looking at the others.
"you three go with Bryan look for anything that would be incriminating and put it somewhere safe, Dizzy can get into their systems. Find anything. We'll get the others"
"I think you should go to little brother" came Lao's voice, but he met with a glare and Tala looked sympathetically at him.
"there is no way that he will pull out of the fight" said Tyson.
"He has to pay some ba…" Tala broke off as Rei suddenly darted past him and hide behind Kai as Drigger towered over them. Kai looked at the Neko who from the safety of his back was growling and baring his teeth.
"Would you like to come out and do that little cub" came Drigger's voice sounding a bit annoyed and frustrated. Rei stopped his growling and shook his head. "thought not". Rei slowly edged out and started to rub himself up against Drigger seeking forgiveness. The great tiger let Rei carry on while the others talked about what to do.
"Max, Tyson, Kenny, and Dizzy go with Bryan and be careful we don't know that has been going on around here" ordered Kai pulling himself up to full height and dangerous gleam in his eyes "we're going hunting" he smirked to the others.
Max, Tyson and Kenny went with Bryan to find any evidence that would be useful in getting Lecoy jailed. While Tala, Rei, Lao and
Kai all went after Lecoy.

Bryan lead the others quietly through the building from the ground level to the security level they where on before, Bryan stopped at the unconscious guard.
"who did that?" he asked, Max raised his hand and blushed, Bryan's eyes widened "I will never look at you the same way blonde" said Bryan shaking his head.
"What are we doing here?" asked Tyson looking at the cylinder from before to see that the Adlets as taken their blades and must have left the building hopefully seeking help.
"We'll start here with tapes and stuff" stated Bryan as he opened the cupboard looking at the dates on the video's and started to look at certain ones, while Kenny and Dizzy looked on the computer that was in there while Max and Tyson looked around the room to see if they could find anything else.
#######
Rei sniffed the air, following the sent of the three men deciding that Becca would be his first target, then Lecoy for shooting Kai he could feel his human side start to resurface but his anger and animal mind was still holding reign over his body. He had retracted his claws for until he needed them but he was on high alert he still didn't trust Lao and all he wanted to do was make sure that Kai was alright because he didn't smell right, unfortunately he couldn't do that because he had other things to do first. Growling softly he went to walk on all fours following the trail the men had left, darting off when the sent became stronger.
"REI" shouted Kai hoping to stop the Neko but Rei didn't stop, sighing he started to run after his Koi, Lao and Tala following quickly hoping they wouldn't lose the Neko or the slate haired boy. They ran down the corridor, watching Rei race towards the end door before kicking it down and running once more.
"Will someone put a lead on him" Tala gasped as they ran at full speed after Rei and Kai.
"You catch him, you do it" said Lao as he was in the same state as Tala "while you there de-claw him as well" he added running his hand over the scratches on his face.
"you'd have to ask him about that" shrugged Tala speeding up to try and catch up with Kai "for an injured boy he can run"
"He always was stubborn" grinned Lao.
######
Max had been watching the others progress on the screen in the room that they where in.
"Kai's giving the others for a run for their money" he said before looking away as the screen went blank.
"he always was the one to give anyone a run for their money, mostly Boris or Voltaire, they could hardly ever catch him. It was funny watching them try" remembered Bryan as he put a stack of Video's into a bag. Kenny shut down the computer he was on before standing up.
"We have to go to Lecoy's office there is bound to be something there" said the chief picking up Dizzy.
"Come this way then" said Bryan leading them down the corridor checking around corners before going down them. The lead them through a grand oak door into a spacious office that was richly furnished and was packed with stuffed animals of different types. Kenny wasted no time and headed for the computer and started to look through the system and sending it to a computer at the BBA headquarters and Mr Dickinson, while Tyson and Max pulled the room apart looking for anything of interest while Bryan stood guard, gun raised to fire if he needed to.
#######
The group had been running for what seemed like ages and Kai and Rei still lead them, their pace not slowing while Tala and Lao where still trailing but had managed to keep Kai in sight. The slate haired boy had pushed the pain of his wound to the back of his mind and geared himself up to get Becca back, the hunter had had one free shot now it was pay back. They reached the end of the corridor with a large oak door but it didn't last long as Rei bounded into the end room, growling loudly at the three men who where sat round a large wooden desk in the spacious office.
"it seems the secret lost" stated Toleman backing up from the annoyed Rei, scrambling to get out of the room his hand holding a gun aimed at the Neko's heart.
"oh well, I wont" grinned Becca advancing on the Neko, causing Rei to snap his claws out and growl in warning, hunched down ready to attack. When a blue blade span passed him revealing Dranzer in her glory, she filled the ceiling of the study casting Red flames around her, followed by Drigger who roared loudly leaving it to echo around the study.
"Aw, the kitty has friends" teased Becca walking towards Rei ignoring all grows of warning. "I'm gonna make you wish you had died with your parents" he growled but met with a fist.
"this time we fight without guns" smirked Kai standing there as if he wasn't injured in anyway.
"and who ever shot him will deal with me" snarled Lao as he glared at his former employee.
"TRAITOR" bellowed Lecoy, who whimpered when Rei jumped and landed on his desk in front of him hissing. "BECCA"
"It's a cat, bark at it" said Becca as he circled Kai who watched his every move. The older man lurched for Kai, the bluenet step out of the way and kneed him in the chin, Becca launched himself at Kai again and managed to get his shoulder, Kai grunted with the pain but Becca didn't attack again as Dranzer was flying around him confusing him while Kai collected himself.
Lao had gone for Toleman who was firing blindly at him, the red head Hiwatari dogged bullet after bullet and reached the hunter and smacked him hard in the jaw and kicked him in the stomach, Conner returned the favour and their fight became heated with the help of Dranzer who was firing fire at the attackers of her family.
Tala and Rei where closing in on Lecoy who was being backed up to it his desk, Rei hissed low loving the way that Lecoy jumped. Tala looked at the man's reactions and it looked like Rei was toying with a mouse and that little rodent was Lecoy. His musing was cut off by an alarm ringing through the room. Rei yowled and covered his ears. Lecoy smirked and stood up straight by the window behind his desk as men started to pour into the room filling is so you could hardly move. Kai was struggling not to be pushed into the wall so Becca would get a easy hit. Lao had lost sight of Toleman in the fight and was being attacked by the knew men that had entered.
"Have Fun, leave none alive" shouted Lecoy smirking at the scene that was created.
The Hiwatari brothers where taking blows from every side, while the younger one was still fighting Becca and the older was trying to find Toleman, The red head was going through the men like they where butter and he was a hot knife, he only took a second to compute what he needed before attacking. Lecoy watched as Man after man was cut down but they group where receiving damage as well.
Rei growled loudly before throwing a man off him in the direction if Becca coursing the hunter to fall and Kai to get some space, the Neko once he had checked his mate was alright when on the offensive again attacking the men while Drigger tried to protected him but the Bit-beasts couldn't move or attack because they where in danger of attacking or hurting their masters.
"We need more space" said Tala. "the bit-beast can't do anything"
Lao merely grinned at Tala before looking around the room, seeing Lecoy looking smug as he stood by the window he saw his solution so running full tilt at Lecoy he smashed them through the window with Lecoy taking the brunt of the blow as they hit the grass yard below, there space had been acquired.
"He's just like Kai" groaned Tala before grabbing a couple of men and doing the same, Rei followed as did the bit-beast leading the men to the court yard below. Leaving Kai and Becca in the study facing each other.
######
They had finished ripping the office apart as the alarm had gone up, Bryan pulled the doors closed leaving only a little gap that he could see through, he watched as an army of men marched passed and disappeared the way that they had come.
"I think we should go and help them" said Max revealing that he was also watching. Bryan nodded his head and opened the door slowly and checked round the corner. A man appeared a shocked appeared on his face before he went to grab his gun but Bryan smacked round the head with the butt of his gun before he could do any damage.
"come on we better get to the battle" said Bryan as he took off running. Max followed Bryan as the older boy lead them though the house, they had been able to find a few documents on the building of the Zoo and what it would hold hoping that it would be enough to give Lecoy some kind of sentence, they hurried to the sound of the battle to lend a hand. They burst through the door in time to see Lecoy thrown across the garden and a black blur follow him, pinning him down where he landed.
########
The battle had spilled out on to the yard with Tala and Lao taking on the men and Toleman, with the Bit-beast. As Rei decided it was time to get the man who had shot his mate, he rounded on Lecoy as the man stumbled up getting over the fall that he had taken the brunt off, although it hadn't been that far it was still a hard fall specially with some one on top of you.
Lecoy looked around him slowly, seeing where he was thinking he was safe until he saw Rei prowling towards him, he looked around him looking for something or someone to help him but his eyes lead back to where the Neko Jin was walking stalking towards him licking his lips flashing his enlarged incisors and flexing his claws.
Rei prowled towards his prey, he was not going to waste this man, he was hungry but he was unsure what to do with the man. The image of Kai slumping as the bullet from this man's gun entered his mind and his rage peaked again he jumped at the man before slashing his across the stomach the smell of blood hungered Rei even more as he attacked again grabbing the man and throwing him to the other end of the yard before following quickly. The Neko landed on his prey snarled before going for Lecoy's throat, puncturing veins and arteries, crushing the windpipe. Not noticing his audience.
Tyson held his stomach and turned green as Kenny fainted luckily Bryan was together enough to catch the small boy.
"Rei" shouted Max causing Rei to pull back his preys blood dripping down his face as his gaze with locked with Max's. Slowly he made he way towards the blonde sitting on his knees when he reached him, cocking his head to the side.
"what?" he asked licking the blood around his mouth and claws.
"you shouldn't kill people" scolded Max wiping Rei's face with tissue while looking sternly at Rei who looked away and fidgeted trying to go back to his meal.
"Me hungry" moaned Rei. Max shocked at this statement didn't know how to reply to that, he also didn't have time as Rei keeled over in front of him releasing a howl of pain and clutching his leg.
