More reviews!!! My first complaint? I'm impressed it took so long for one to pop up! Try telling me how i'm going 'wrong' though, try telling the details!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai looked back up at his friends on the screen. He had to find a way to help them! He stared at each of the team members in turn, looking at every possible angle he could from where he was. He shook his head in frustration, there had to be a way, he got them in this so he had to help them out of it. God he hurt so much, why couldn't they just let him die? He chuckled slightly at Dranzer's indignation at that thought, then instantly regretting it as pain ripped up his side. He could still feel the blood running down his side.

He couldn't let them down! Then he saw what he was looking for, the way out for them. Kenny's hands were smaller then everyone else's, even compared to Hilary's. Kai could see the small space they had left between the strap and Kenny's wrist; maybe it was enough for Kenny to wriggle his hand loose. He hoped.

In fact, he had never hoped for anything more in his life. Since the scientists and muscle men seemed to be ignoring the apparently unconscious teens, Kai had to get the attention of his team. He willed one of them to wake up, even Tyson! Anyone would do, he just had to get them awake. His prayers were finally answered by the long forgotten Gods of Kai's long lost faith in religion. Max was stirring.

"Be quite, look at me and be quite!" whispered Kai; he knew he was being watched. He didn't want to be caught now. Max seemed to hear him and looked up, eyes slightly out of focus.

"Be quite!! Just listen to me!" whispered Kai to the freckled blonde, who nodded slightly in return.

"You need to wake up Kenny; he can get his arms free!" Kai instructed, thanking the seemingly now appeared Gods that Max was next to Kenny.

Max nodded and tried to elbow Kenny with the restricted amount of space he had, keeping his actions as quite as possible. Ray and Hilary began to stir, Kai whispering the whole time for them to not draw attention to themselves. They nodded understanding.

Kenny started to wake up, Max trying to whisper instructions into the much disoriented brunettes ears. Kai was slightly surprised that Kenny's glasses had managed to stay on through the whole ordeal. "Maybe he glued them on" thought Kai to himself, then felt stupid for thinking that at such a time.

Kenny had finally understood Max's instructions and was trying to wriggle his hand loose. Kai then hissed in alarm to them, someone was going up to check the bladebreakers! The others understood the panic and flopped in their seats, imitating the state they were in before. The man looked them up and down before looking at the screen at Kai. Kai had hung his head and pretended to be unconscious, waiting for the man to leave. The man finally did, shaking his head as he went.

Kai's head came back up to see the slight triumphant grin on Kenny's face. He then held up his now free hand. He gave it a little shake to make sure he had full circulation, making Kai wish he could do the same, he could hardly feel his hands, though his wrists protested angrily at every move Kai moved. Kenny then moved his hand over to undo the straps on his other hand. Once this was free he undid Max's. This started a chain reaction along the line. Kenny had even retrieved his laptop someone had conveniently left under his chair. Hilary was trying to wake Tyson so that he didn't yell or grunt like he usually did when he was woken.

"She actually managed to do it!" Kai thought to himself, it even made him grin slightly, even if it did hurt. He concentrated back on the screen. All of his friends had loosened themselves and were waiting to see what Kenny was doing on his laptop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is fantastic!" thought Kenny "now i'm out of that cell, there are no more barriers to prevent me causing some damage so we can get out of here!"

He whispered to the others, forming a plan Kai could only see, not hear.

The others nodded; it was time to get out of here and find some help, and to find Kai.

Ray looked at Kai, mouthing the words "we will get you out!" before Kenny pulled a stunt with Dizzi, and the screen went blank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai looked at the blank screen in front of him, a void of hopelessness opening in his soul. They wouldn't get him out, how could they? At least Kai had done all he could for them. Tears once more moistened his face.

It seemed like an eternity of pain and misery to Kai before footsteps approaching up the stairs snapped him back to reality. He looked up to see Tadashi, Leon and Boris looking at him, all with those stupid smiles on their faces. Kai hated those smiles. He growled back at them.

"Still with some fight?" asked Boris; turning to the twins he said "I expect that to be completely eradicated soon!"

They almost seemed to flinch at his remark. To Kai it seemed so funny how they could be scared of Boris. It was pathetic; Kai was now unafraid of anything they had to throw it him. They had already taken everything from him, his family, his friends, his love and his life. He had nothing more to lose, but everything to gain. He was going to get back his freedom and his life, even if, ironically, it killed him.

He also had something else. Tori was with him. She always had been. He couldn't believe he had thought it was his fault. He also knew why his bond with Dranzer was so strong. Tori was the phoenix, she had risen in Dranzer's spirit, they were one and the same, but at the same time they were separate. Tori was still Tori, Dranzer was still Dranzer. They all fought together in battles, won and lost. They would fight this one to.

"I think its time you removed his bitbeast, he should have no distractions for his training. He will focus entirely on Black Dranzer, when he has told us where he has hidden the bitbeast" Boris said, so sure of himself.

"I'll prove you wrong Boris, and Voltaire too. You made me what I am, but i've evolved further, you can't touch me now!" Kai spat back, meaning every word.

"We will see young Kai, we will see" came the cool reply.

"Yes, we will see, or at least I will" came the even cooler response from Kai.

Boris seemed shocked to hear Kai still able to fight this much, he should have been begging for mercy to join Biovolt again.

He turned to Leon and Tadashi, snapping at them "get on with it! I want that bitbeast of his destroyed, along with his free will!" with that he turned on his heel and walked down the stairs, not looking back to see the smirk on Kai's face.

"Well Kai, you've surprised everyone so far. We'll fix that" Tadashi said, the grin still plastered on her face.

Kai still smirked at her. She walked up to Kai till she was right in front of face. "I will start by removing that smirk" she said, swooping her head down so that her lips met Kai's. This was not what Kai was expecting. He stared at Tadashi's closed eyes. She leant back, smiling a different smile this time. Her grey eyes locked with Kai's own fiery ones.

"Now that I have your complete attention!" she breathed to him "we will begin the next step!"

Kai looked over at Leon, he looked livid that his sister had just done that! At least Kai could be slightly smug at Leon's anger. It didn't last long as Leon approached Kai.

"Yes, we will begin the next step!" he agreed with Tadashi, even if he was staring at Kai with anger flashing in those dark, cold eyes.

Kai flinched as Leon drew close. When he realised Leon was concentrating on the chains holding his wrist, he opened his eyes and looked up. Leon was undoing the chains. When the chains fell slack on his wrists, Kai slipped down to the ground. He reached the floor and slid down on to his knees. The position opened up the gash in his leg, bringing with it a fresh wave of pain and blood. He groaned slightly at that pain, and the pain of blood rushing into his hands, he was surprised he had any blood left.

Leon leant down and picked Kai up roughly from the floor. Kai winced from the pain, he was going to have to do some serious focusing to try and ignore it. He took as deeper breath as he could with his broken ribs.

"Now Kai, we need you standing for this, so hold yourself up!" ordered Leon, turning Kai round to face the opposite direction. In front of Kai now was a beydish, behind him were now the stairs. Leon let go of Kai who swayed slightly on his own.

"So this is the next step" Kai thought, "they plan to take Dranzer from me! That won't happen to me ever again!"

"Now we need to make this quick, they are having problems at the other building and they may require our assistance, so lets get this over with!" said Tadashi.

Kai couldn't help but smile at that remark; they had no idea what was happening at the other building by the sound of it. That was one up for his friends.

"Stop smiling and get over here before I make you! I will still get a scream before i'm done!" yelled Tadashi at Kai, she was still angry from before.

Kai limped over to the dish, drawing in sharp breaths as he could feel his leg jarring with every step. He stood in front of the dish, watching as Leon moved over to stand with his sister at the opposite side, facing him.

"Better pick up your blade and shooter Kai, you might need those for the battle!" said Leon, enjoying the moment when Kai had to lean down to pick up his blade and shooter from their new place on the floor by the dish.

"They must of put them there from the crate, but when?" thought a confused Kai to himself. The answer would have to wait till later, he realised. Tadashi and Leon had their blades all ready to go. Tadashi's blade was beige and blue, Leon's was green and black. Kai wondered what the blades had in store for him.

"Ready Kai?" asked Tadashi.

"You're on!" answered back Kai, positioning himself to launch his own beyblade; he was ready to ignore the pain pulling the ripcord would cause him.

"Three, two, one, let it rip!" they all yelled together.

"Three names were called out as the bitbeasts were summoned, nobody wasting any time to get to the point.

"Go Dranzer!"

"Go Phagus!"

"Go Suchus!"

Three lights emerged from the spinning beyblades, the bitbeasts were ready.
