Tears of a Tortured Soul Chapter 9

The guards dragged Kai through the dark halls of the abbey, not stopping until they'd reached their ordered destination. Once they'd reached the door they pulled it open and threw Kai inside and then slammed the door shut. Kai shoved himself up, he felt the presence of another in the room. To Kai the feeling was very familiar…but it was also the same feeling that struck fear in his heart every time it was felt. He raised his head and then realized what room the guards has thrown him in. He came face to face with his Grandfather. His eyes widened at the sight of the old man who stood standing before him. A disdainful look was on his face as he stared harshly into the eyes of his grandson.

"Well Kai. It seems we meet again." Kai frowned and lifted himself to his feet.

"Not my choice to…" he retorted glaring at his grandfather.

"Either way you are in my possession once again. You Kai will obey me this time. I will not tolerate any more betrayal from you." His voice wads harsh but Kai refused to become a victim again.

"No. You used me! I will not become a slave to you're mind games any more!" Voltaire stepped out from behind his desk and walked toward Kai.

"You will obey me. You are my grandson! You will do as I say."

"If I'm you're grandson then why don't you treat me like one! I'm not going to lower myself to being you're puppet. Not again…so find someone else to do you're dirty work because you can count me out!" Kai turned to walk out the door when he felt a hand grasp his shoulder roughly, pulling him back.

"Let me go." Kai demanded. But Voltaire only squeezed harder.

"Kai. You will join the Demolition Boys. If you don't I'll make sure that Boris be rids the world of those Bladebreakers you seem to have befriended." Kai's eyes widened at the threat.

'Ray…' he thought.

"Leave them alone. They've done nothing to you."

"Ah yes but they've done something to you. You've become soft in you're time away Kai. You do not fight with the same ferocity as I've trained you to do. I trained you to become the best beyblader in the world. You will not defy me now. Either you take Black Dranzer and fight in the championships or you're little friends will pay the price."

'No he can't…'

"I won't." Voltaire growled.

"I'm tired of you're impudence!" he shouted striking Kai from behind and knocking him to the ground. Kai growled and pushed himself up, glaring at his grandfather but Kai barley had enough time to get to his feet before Voltaire grabbed him by his scarf and shoved him up against the wall.

"You've done nothing but betray me Kai. Ever since you were little I knew one day it would come to this." Kai smirked.

"Then you're smarter than I thought." He groaned when he felt Voltaire punch his cheek but his crimson eyes still had a fire of hatred burning in them.

'I've had enough of this....I have to get out of here. I have to find Ray...' Without warning Kai kneed Voltaire in the stomace causing the old man to drop him. Kai got up quickly and swung open the door and began to run out. The guards who were standing near the door were dumfounded when they saw Kai run past them.

"Don't let him get away!" Voltaire shouted from the room, sending the gaurds running after Kai. Meanwhile the blue haired blader ran as fast as his legs would carry him through the underground abbey.

'I have to find Ray. I have to get them all out of here. It's my fault that they got captured. I should of never brought them here, it's too dangerous. Boris won't hesitate to kill them...I know he won't.' Kai could hear the guards running behind him. He looked ahead and saw he'd come to a dead end.

'Shit...' he thought. Then he looked down and smirked. He skidded to a stop and pulled out his blade. He smirked at the guards who'd finally caught up to him. He launched Dranzer and watched as his loyal pheonix spun in the air around the guards.

"Go Dranzer!" he shouted and on command Dranzer attacked the guards directly, sending them flying to the ground. Kai jumped past them and recalled Dranzer to his hand. He placed her in his pocket and ran back through the halls again. More guards had come and Kai knew it would be harder for him to fight them all on his own. Yet he wasn't about to give up. He would do whatever it took to find his friends and get them out of this horrible place. The guards blocked him on both sides and Kai found himself trapped.

'Shit now what....' he thought. His grandfather emerged from behind them smirking evilly.

"Well Kai it seems you have know where to go." Kai growled feircly at his grandfather. Voltaire reached into his pocket and pulled out a familiar black blade.

'Black Dranzer....' Kai's eyes widened at the sight of the blade. He winced at the memories it brought. The blade that caused him to betray his team for the chance at perfection. The blade that had almost caused him to hurt the one he most loved. His will power had been stolen from him when he used this blade and it took his friends to get it back. Now that Kai was agaisnt Biovolt, he knew there was no way he could go back to being a mindless puppet. His will power and determination was stronger than ever now and it was all thanks to his friends and Ray.

"You will take Black Dranzer Kai."

"No."

"Don't resist me Kai. You are of my blood I know you crave the ultimate perfection. Take Black Dranzer Kai. Achive the perfection you crave." His voice was full of temptation which for a second, almost drew Kai back to his old self but memories of Ray flashed through his mind. Taking Black Dranzer would ruin his life and he knew it. If achiving perfection ment losing the one person who ever truly loved you, then ultamite perfection wasn't worth it.

'For Ray...for all of them...I will not become a slave again. Voltaire can't control me any longer...'

"You bastard....I will never go back to Biovolt. I will not be used any more!"

"I'm sorry you feel that way. Guards!" Before Kai could even blink, the guards had knocked him to the ground. One held his arm behind his back almost in a twisting way. Kai cringed as he tried to fight back but there were too many guards holding him down.

"Let...me...go." The guards pulled him to his feet holding back both his arms. He struggled to get free. One of thr guards punched him in the stomache to stop him.

"Voltaire...you bastard!"

"Shut him up." the old man demanded. The guards didn't hesitate to beat Kai until he was unconcious. Every hit Kai felt brought up memories of his past. All the pain he felt, all the abuse and neglection. He wished to never feel any of that again but it seemed as if he could never escape it.

'I keep running...I can never escape this no matter how hard I try. It keeps coming back...' All the determination Kai felt was suddenly gone and he felt worthless again. His hopes to escape the abbey were gone. He tried to keep his eyes open. His vison was blurry and before he submitted himself to the darkness he thought of the one person he wished he could be with.

'Ray....'
