(Kai's leading them towards the hotel)

"Hey Kai! Can I ask you something?" Sandra said happily as they made their way to the hotel, and went into the elevator.

"What." Kai said as they waited to get to their floor.

"Can I have your autograph?" She asked, as the other girls (A/N: minus Emily and Mariah) immediately added, "Us too!!!" As the elevator stopped and the doors opened

Kai paused, then just walked the elevator and answered, "I don't do autographs." With that he entered his room and shut the door.

"Meanie." Victoria and Chrissy said at the same time, then sighed and said bye as all the teens separated to their rooms.

(It's midnight! *_*)

"Kai?" Max asked as he knocked on his team leaders door, "Are you up?"

"Come in Max, the doors unlocked." Kai called from inside the room, he was sitting on his bed, reconfiguring his blade. Max entered, and stood looking, not to mention feeling, stupid.

"Uh, I was wondering what time you want us to get up tomorrow." He asked, and waited as Kai thought then responded with, "Make sure that you're all ready by seven, that way we have an hour of training before heading to the tournament."

"Ok, good night." Max quickly left the room and went to go tell the others. Soon, they all drifted to sleep and dreamed, though Kai's dream was more of a memory...

GOB: Ok how was that?

Kai: You're stopping it there?

GOB: Yes!

Kai: Liar...

GOB: Fine, here's the rest. *Walks away muttering death curses on Tyson*

Kai: BTW, she's muttering death curses on Tyson because she just doesn't like him.

As Kai lay asleep, he began to dream, or was it remembering???

' A young boy, about ten years old, sat staring miserably into the ocean from his cliffside lookout. His eyes holding tears which he refused to shed, all the time thinking, "Why? Why did this have to happen to us? What will happen now?" The young boy, just kept staring angrily at the water, then suddenly spoke aloud, "D., what should we do know?" The bit beast came out of his blade, and sighed before speaking, "People die, that's the way it had to be. Everyone dies sometime, you know that." The young boy stood up and angrily shouted, "So? People die, and it looks like they also get murdered!" With that final burst if emotion, the young boy ran as fast into the forest as his young legs would take him. He weaved in and out of the trees, not caring where he went, as long as he got away. He eventually got tired and collapsed in a small clearing. He had know idea where he was, but he felt safe for some odd reason. It was then he noticed he wasn't alone.

"Who or what are you?" He called, getting ready for an attack, but stopped when the figure spoke, "Hello, young Phoenix, please do not be afraid, I am not here to harm you. My name is Tael." The boy gasped when he saw Tael. Tael was about 6 foot 3, with short, spiked, clear hair. He wore armor, which was a deep silver color. His face was covered by a mask, but the boy could make out two coal black eyes. "You - you're not human, are you?" The boy asked, hesitantly coming closer for a better look. "No, I am a spirit that dwells in your world, Phoenix." Tael replied. "Why do you call me Phoenix? That's not my name!" The young boy said, all of a sudden overcoming his fear, and becoming quite interested in Tael. At this moment the boy's bit beast appeared, and began scolding the boy for running off, "You silly child! You could have gotten hurt and hopelessly lost! What am I going to do with you?" The boy glared and replied with a sullen look on his face, "I would not! And you aren't going to do anything to me D. because I won't let you! I was just talking to this spirit!" At that moment, the bit beast saw Tael. D bowed and asked, "Then it is time?" Tael sighed and nodded, "He is still so young, much younger than the others before him. But we need him, it's his time. Young one, come here, and do not be alarmed, it is time you learned of your destiny..." With that, the boy walked over to Tael. And suddenly, they were transported to a temple on a hidden cliff.

"Where are we Tael? How did we get here? What did you mean, my destiny?" These and more questions flooded out of the boys mouth, but he was cut off by his bit beast, "Just do what he and the others say. After, you will know all you need to without us ever telling you, please trust us." The boy thought for awhile, then said, in a tone overly serious for a ten year old, "I have, do, and will continue trusting you, you've always been there for me. And I trust Tael because you do, and I know you'd never put me in danger."

"He truly has the heart of a Phoenix. Welcome young one." A voice spoke, and four hooded figures appeared. All you could see were their profiles. "Now follow our directions, please walk to the center of the circle." The boy looked at the floor and saw a circle painted on the floor in an ever- changing pallet of colors. He walked to the center than awaited his next instructions. "Good now we want you to close your eyes and just stand there, everything will become clear, once you hear the prophecy in which your fate and destiny, along with the fate and destinies of Sea Serpent, Dragon, and Basilisk. Do you except?"

"Normally I would demand to be told what was going on before I agreed to anything, but it's not only my fate at hand, so I have no choice but to accept, so, yes, I do." The cloaked figures exchanges glances, then spoke, "We will begin then."

The cloaked figures gathered around the circle, then raised their arms. Beautiful red, blue, white, and green light coursed out of their fingers, and around the boy, whose eyes remained closed, unaware of the spectacle surrounding him. He began to rise and soon was suspended over 6 feet above the ground. The cloaked figures slowly began to chant the prophecy of long ago,

"The words spoken of long ago,
By the bearer of Fire,
Now spoken by us,
To bring back power long lost.

You stand in the hour of your darkest day,
Your body battered and your soul aflame.
The enemy is you - The one to blame,
But knowing that this is the way.
If evil wants war, then you'll play their game,
You'll rise from these ashes, whole and complete.
Ready for war, to complete any feat,
With your energy focused towards one aim.
And gain the key to peace again,
You've stayed with the night, and her siren's song.
In the darkness you've lived, and spent too long,
These shadows you'll leave, and so you'll begin.
You will never give up, never give in,
You will live in light, show evil their sin."

They chanted this once, then the boy spoke, as if in a trance,

"I stand in the hour of my darkest day,
My body battered and my soul aflame.
The enemy is I - The one to blame,
But knowing that this is the way.
If evil wants war, then I'll play their game,
I'll rise from these ashes, whole and complete.
Ready for war, to complete any feat,
With my energy focused towards one aim.
And gain the key to peace again,
I've stayed with the night, and her siren's song.
In the darkness I've lived, and spent too long,
These shadows I'll leave, and so I'll begin.
I will never give up, never give in,
I will live in light, show evil their sin."

Then.... there was silence. The green light slowly faded, as one of the hooded beings took a step back and disappeared. The white light slowly faded as another of the hooded beings took a step back and disappeared. The blue light slowly disappeared, much more slowly than the green and white, as another hooded being stepped back and disappeared. Finally all that was left was the red light. The final hooded figure spoke to the boy,

"Open your eyes." The boy did and gasped at the light, as the figure spoke once more, "Call the light in, pull it into your body, your heart, your soul!" The boy concentrated and slowly the light began to leave the room and enter his body, heart and his very soul. As it did so, he was slowly lowered to the floor, and he slowly began to understand. Understand what was happening, why it was happening, and what he must do.

When all the light had disappeared and the boy was standing once again in the middle of the circle, the hooded figure spoke again,

"You now know. Do not speak. Never tell anyone what you have experienced here, until we tell you to. Until then, stay safe. Tael will watch over you. He is now your second shadow, he will protect you as best he can, but only you will be able to save yourself, and the others. You will now be transported home, young Phoenix." With that the boy was transported back to the cliff where he had been before he had run off.

"I will be here, though you will not realize it. I am forever, your second shadow." With that Tael disappeared, but the boy could still sense Tael's presence.

"Let's go D." The boy said, and his bit beast replied,

"Yes, let's go home Kai." '

At that, the leader of the Bladebreakers woke abruptly, and proceeded to fall into a dreamless sleep.
