Keep it up everyone, i'm loving this! I'm so mean to Kai, bad me!

"Tyson will you stop bashing your head against the wall!" yelled Hilary, the bashing noise had finally frayed her last nerves.
"Its helping me think!" he answered back.
"Shouldn't you have a brain first to think?" she replied back, a smirk planted on her face.
Just as Tyson opened his mouth to continue the verbal fight, Kenny cut in, "would you both be quite please! I am trying to find a way out of here!"
"Sorry Chief!" they both murmured.
"When do you think they are going to bring Max back?" asked Ray, changing the conversation completely. While the others had now seated themselves on the floor, he remained standing, leaning against the see through wall, watching the scientists.
"I don't know Ray, if they are only analysing him like they did you and Tyson then he should be back any minute." Answered Kenny, trying to get his laptop working, he hadn't even managed to get it on yet. He figured the room had a dampening effect on electronics, since watches weren't even working.
"He's back!!" exclaimed Ray, jumping back from the screen.
Max had a grim look on his face as he was forced towards the holding cell. The men following Max opened the screen. It slid into the wall. The men set about grabbing each of the bladebreakers. They were eventually subdued, even though they put up a fight. Ray almost got away at one point, until one of the men grabbed his flying ponytail, laughing as Ray landed up sprawled on the ground.
The team was pushed forward to a row of seats that had straps on the seat, arms and legs. Each one was forced to sit and was strapped into the chair, facing a screen. Someone turned on the screen, and on it was Kai.
"It's a two way link up, Kai's end will be turned on any second" a scientist behind them said.
They watched as a girl walked around a stretched up Kai, her hand fingering a whip at her side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tadashi was just about to flick her wrist to send the whip against Kai's skin when an image flashed on the wall behind the stairs. Kai stared at the bladebreakers as they sat staring at him.
"While he's distracted, now is the perfect time to get a scream from him!" Tadashi thought to her self.
She smiled as she brought the whip down against Kai's tender skin, aiming and striking perfectly at the hollow of his lower back.
As it connected she saw Kai stiffen. Instead of screaming, he hissed out the breath in his lungs, his muscles twitching and shuddering. She frowned, he was supposed to scream!
Kai couldn't believe the pain that lash caused. He could feel the burning as the whip fell away. He could also feel a warm spill down his back as the broken skin and muscle give up the red liquid as his own heart beat it out. He shuddered as the sting seemed to travel up his spine. It felt suddenly cold. He opened his eyes and looked up at the shocked faces of his team mates. He gave them a weak grin, he wasn't going to crack.
The team just stared back.
He could hear Tadashi getting ready to strike again. He drew a deep breath and clenched his teeth so that he wouldn't bite his tongue in shock. She struck again, harder this time, yanking the whip back to her. He let the breath out in a shuddering groan. How much was he expected to take, till he gave in he supposed. If that meant an eternity of this then so be it! He felt Dranzer reaching out to him, easing some of the sting away. He smiled, a strong one this time, determination flashed in his eyes. He looked straight at Leon, shooting a challenge at the black and red haired teen.
Leon was surprised for only a second. He then pointed to the screen. Kai looked at the screen in silent horror. He could hear the screams as his team and friends were in pain. The chairs seemed hooked up to a machine that fed a current to each of his friends. The current was switched off and his friends slumped in their chairs.
"Looks like they are pulling all the stunts to get you to come back Kai!" said Leon, glee in his voice. He was going to enjoy this more then anything else he had done before.
Kai answered with a choking noise as Tadashi's whip cut into his skin again and then again as she turned her arm the other way, drawing a cross over the already broken skin. Tears of pain started to run unbidden down Kai's smooth cheeks.
Leon looked over at his sister, her face was flushed, and her mouth was set in grim determination. She was getting angry. She lashed out twice more against Kai's lower back. Kai just hung there, sweat coating his muscles. It was taking up so much strength to hold in the pain. But Kai had been trained for this, to take pain without giving outward signs of it. He was out of practice, but he was holding up well.
With a furious cry Tadashi struck once more. Her anger had made her miss her target. The whip cut Kai from his left shoulder down to his right hip, cutting the edge of his trousers at the same time. The cloth was wet with Kai's blood and tore easily.
"Enough Tadashi!" said Leon, "calm down and let me have a turn at him, you shouldn't have lost your temper!"
Tadashi glared at her brother, but she didn't argue, she knew he was right. As a parting shot to Kai, she kicked him hard in the ribs as she passed his left side. Smirking as she heard bones crack, and at Kai's strangled groan.
The pain from his side was almost too much. Kai's breath became ragged and shallow as breathing held up as he was became painfully intense. He looked up with blurring vision as Leon approached.
"So now it's my turn, and I won't lose my temper!" Leon said, his dark eyes glinting in the half light coming from the windows.
He flicked his arm and a blade appeared in his hand. He twirled it in his fingers, letting the pale light glint off the metals edge. With a grin he walked round Kai's left arm, placing the blades edge against the soft flesh on the exposed skin at the front of Kai's arm. With deliberate moves he walked slowly, pushing the blade in and down. He smiled as he saw blood well up from beneath the blade. His smile grew as he looked at Kai's face, watching the already pale face become paler. Kai's eyes were wide open, his lungs struggling to draw in air as the searing pain wracked his body.
This was too much fun!
Leon walked all the way around Kai till he stopped in front of him. Smiling, he flicked another blade into his other hand. He stared deep into Kai's eyes as he placed the new blade against the front of Kai's upper leg. He wallowed in the pain he saw in Kai's eyes as he forced the blade in and down Kai's leg. He pulled the bade out and looked at his handiwork. Kai's leg was now exposed from the knee to the top of his leg. The cut trouser material had fallen away from the bleeding gash in Kai's leg. Blood poured out to stain the trousers, and to pool at Kai's feet.
Looking back up to Kai's face his own screwed up in displeasure.
"Open your eyes Kai, I want to see the pain in them!" he ordered.
Kai ignored him and kept his eyes tightly shut.
"Open them now!" Leon yelled in sudden fury, slamming his knife into Kai's side, below the broken ribs. Kai grunted as Leon then twisted the blade and pulled it out. Blood followed quickly after.
"Brother, what was that about losing your temper? Maybe we should go for a different tactic?" warned Tadashi, her poise returned.
"You are right, let us first go refresh ourselves and leave Kai in the company of his dear friends" answered Leon.
Tadashi laughed at the quip as they disappeared down the stairs.
Kai looked up at his friends, tears falling from his pained mahogany eyes.
"I'm so sorry you got roped into this, I didn't want you to get hurt" he whispered at his unconscious friends.
Dranzer called out to Kai and settled in his heart, helping to keep the pain at bay.
