GOB: WHEW! I guess I'll answer the questions that were given to me. And don't worry Jade, you're still my special, special helper, Midnight was just giving me a hand since you weren't on-line and I can't judge my own work because I always find it awful.

*~*AnSwErS~*~2~*~QuEsTiOnS*~*

**Lychee Fairy**: 1) I forgive you, and you're not be replaced Jade. ----- 2) Yep they met before the whole abbey fiasco. And yes, more Tala here and in 'Depth'. ----- 3)No one knows where he got the charm. Heh, not even me at this point! ----- 4) This is my fic, so if I want his parents to like him, they will. ----- 5) Yes Tai has a bitbeast, but I can't reveal it yet or it'll ruin the surprise. ----- 6) They know he got Dranzer from the charm, but that's it. ----- 7) No, his parents do not know about Tael (or at least as far as Kai knows) and there will be more on him. -----

****LOOK AT THIS!!!!***** 8) IN MY FIC, KAI WENT TO THE ABBEY WHEN HE WAS 10. IN THE CHAPTER WITH THE DREAM Kai HAD, IT STATES HE WAS 10, AND THAT SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO HIM DIED! THAT SOMEONE WAS TAI! HIS ELDEST BROTHER (NOT A TWIN OR ANYTHING). HE COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN OF STAYING IN CANADA, SO WHEN THE OFFER TO GO TO THE ABBEY AND TRAIN TO BEYBLADE CAME, HE ACCEPTED. HE BLAMES HIMSELF FOR TAI'S DEATH, BECAUSE IT HAD TO DO WITH 'THE EXPLOSION'! MORE WILL BE REVEALED AS THE STORY PROGRESSES! ****************

9) My #1 fan, eh. And yet you threaten me! I probably will continue to update regularly (Ha, me update regularly, like that ever happened!) but I starting to run into some major problems. Such as writer's block. I see your point and will take it into consideration, so PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!!

**Kai baby-girl**: The temple is the place in which most of his Dream took place. And yes, Chibi Kai and Chibi Tala. VERY, VERY CUTE! BISHIES!!! ^_^.

**Syaoran-Lover**: Yes, I know it was all happy, but that was because they all pretty much know all the bad stuff that happened to Kai.

Kai: All right. Here's the next chapter. It starts with about a page of Tael's P.O.V. GOB doesn't own anything, but the plot, her oc's, and anything else she created.

GOB: This chapter is going to be pretty short, only about four or five pages. But remember, the 'Determination' chapters were all pretty long! And be on the lookout for a joint fic between me and Lychee Fairy, coming soon to a fanfic near you! ^_^

*()* Tael's P.O.V. *()*

(For those of you who don't recall, Tael is Kai's silent shadow, appointed to him when he was 10 years old, when Kai first went to the Temple {The 'Dream' Place}.)

It is, but three in the morning. Yet he still remains awake. He stands strong to all who oppose him, have ever opposed him. Only in the first few precious hours of the morning, does he let his walls fall, lets the barricade break, and lets his emotions free themselves from the darkest catacombs of his mind, soul, and heart.

I have been in the maze of which houses his thoughts, feelings, worries, and more. But even I have not, can not, stand the pain and pressure of the darkest rooms, the ones which he seems to be eternally locked in, to help free him from all he fears.

He fears...

Yes, he fears. Like any other of the human race; his mind is not all happy and joyful, but has it's own darkness; its fears, worries, evil. These vary in amount between each human, whether they be young or old, male or female, of any race or nationality. Most humans' darkness will contain between 40 - 49 % fears, 40 - 49 % worries, and between 20 - 02 % evil.

I can easily gauge the amounts of these qualities in all humans. All humans, except for him. His fire, the very fire of which he is supposedly part of, protects him, shields him, from the view of others. Others who wish to pear within the soul. Whether to help him, or to harm him.

The fire is quiet, calm, but burning with danger. Ready to strike if there be a cause. Its power starts out small, but will continue to grow and grow; much as his own power continues to grow. The bond he shares with the Phoenix, the bird of fire, continues to build up this eternal flame.

Glancing in the mirror, for I am one of few spirits who have been granted the gift of solidifying at will, I see my own reflection.

I am quite tall, taller than the Human Phoenix himself, with quite short, spiky, clear hair. My armor, which I where always, gleams silver. My mask completely covers my face, though I am positive that is a good thing. Many would flee at the sight of my face. It is not disfigured, not at all, but it is different, and what I believe human's would call, 'mutated'. My eyes are like black holes, swallowing all the light that may come in it's path.

I have been alive for many a millennia, but never have I seen, or felt, what I have since I have met with the Human Phoenix. It is not something that can be easily put into words.

There is much to be learned from the world of Human's. Much more than I ever thought to be possible. For how can a species that spends more time killing each other than any other I, or any of my kind, have ever experienced before teach anyone any valuable lesson?

The answer is simple.

By watching those who oppose the darkness and fight to protect the light.

"WAKE UP!!!!!!!" Max yelled, trying, but failing miserably, to wake Tyson. Everyone else was all set to go.

"Why don't we just leave him there? It's not like he's blading today anyway." Kassie yawned.

"Yeah, besides," Oliver agreed, "The match doesn't start until four. Let's just leave him a note and go out into the city for awhile."

"Yeah," Simon said, "I wanted to just explore Edmonton for a while, to, you know, see what this place is all about."

After a while, they all agreed to leave Tyson asleep, with a note telling him where they went. And much to Kai's displeasure, Kai's cell number just in case he couldn't find any of them.

(I'm not going to tell you what they all did in those 2 and 3/4 hours because my brains fried!)

"Oh, I am soooo going to kill her!" Kassie ranted. They had less than 15 minutes before their match and Anna hadn't come back yet. She, Sandra and Victoria had all gone off together to do some shopping on White Avenue (Real place, Don't own). And they weren't back yet.

Kassie couldn't care less about Sandra and Victoria at the moment, as they weren't about to get their team disqualified from the tournament. Anna was.

"I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!" Anna yelled as she ran skidding into her teams bench. Once there, she began to apologize profusely for being late,

"I'MSOSORRY!YOUSEEWEWERESHOPPINGSOHARDTHATWELOSTTRACKOFTIMEANDMISSEDOURBUSBA CKTOTHEMALLANDWHENWEFINALLYGOTBACKHEREWECOULDN'TFINDTHESTADIUMANDWESPENTFORE VERWANDERINGAROUNDUNTILWEFINALLYFOUNDITANDTHENIRANASFASTASICOULDTOGETHEREINT IMEFORETHEMATCH,WHICHIDID!PLEASEFORGIVEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Uh, I didn't here a word you said, but it's okay. Just don't be late next time!" Kassie said, sweatdropping and looking confused. The guys just watched the two girls and resumed checking over their blades.

The first match, between Kassie and James ended with Kassie as the victor. The second match, between Michael and Johnny ended with Johnny as the victor. The third and final match between Simon/Anna and Kevin/Chris ended with Simon being the victor. Anna had been knocked out in the air by Kevin, and Simon had been lucky in getting Kevin's and Chris's beyblades to accidentally run into one another causing them to knock each other out.
