Leon and Kai had been walking for what felt like hours. Even Kai's well developed legs where beginning to feel some strain, yet Leon carried on with that annoying bouncy step. Kai's frown deepened, let Leon be the smug git he is, it won't last. Leon stopped walking and told Kai to do so as well. Kai stopped, even though he would have much rather have turned round and legged it back the other way.
Kai let his eyes wander around as far as they could as he couldn't move his head. All he saw was dusty roads, grass verges and a few sparse trees, where were they? He had tried to memorise the route, but his mind didn't want to concentrate, too many thoughts all at once created a whirlwind storm that he couldn't understand. A small trail of dust caught his attention; something was coming up the road towards them.
Leon relaxed visibly as he saw the dust cloud; this is obviously what they were waiting for. The cloud dust became more visible as it speeded towards them, soon Kai could see a black car gleaming in front of the dust.
"A car?" he asked Leon, not really expecting an answer.
"You can see it already?" frowned Leon, squinting into the distance.
"Yes" replied Kai, then used the opportunity to get on up on Leon, remove some of that smugness, "cant you? I suppose my vision is superior, how about that?"
Leon flared with sudden temper, he always had to be better then Kai, prove that Biovolt had made a mistake, that he was the one they needed. Kai just placed a barbed hook and Leon had taken it. Leon whirled round and backhanded Kai again. The inability to move meant that the full force of the slap hit Kai; he no longer had the movement to absorb some of the force. He could feel his split lip reopen and fresh blood trickle down to his chin. It tickled as it dripped, and how ever irritating it was, Kai just had to put up with it.
Leon turned back round and decided to ignore Kai, which suited Kai just fine. They waited in silence till the car pulled up. The car had once been shiny and black, polished to a sparkling reflection of its surroundings could be seen in distorted detail. Now a layer of dust decorated the car, painting it a temporary brown, the black still visible under streaks and smears. Kai could see himself in the murky tinted windows, not sure if he could see a pair of eyes staring back through.
The thought quickly vanished as a man in a black suit and black shades opened a door and stepped out.
"How Hollywood" thought Kai with disgust.
The man glanced at Leon, who nodded in return. The man then walked up to Kai, a length of rope and material present in his beefy fists. Leon watched and made Kai respond to make the mans job easier. Kai could already move his mouth to speak, and the man prised apart his jaws to stuff in some of the material. Another piece was placed over Kai's mouth and tied around the back of his head. Kai's broken lip stung in response, but at least it would help stop the bleeding, and the irritating drip had now stopped.
The man stepped behind Kai and held on to each of Kai's arms. Leon activated something on the device and Kai's arms moved as the man wanted them, placed behind his back so the wrists could be tied together. Once tightly lashed, the man knelt down and did the same to Kai's ankles and knees. Kai swayed as his balance was severely compromised, tied as he was. Then Leon did something else with the small black device held in his palm.
Kai felt himself go loose all of a sudden. His body just seemed to give up holding himself, and he still couldn't move. He fell, face first into the dirt with a muffled "oomph" as the air was driven from his lungs. Leon's laugh rang in his ears. The man then bent back down and hoisted Kai onto his shoulder. If any body would've taken the time to see, Kai's glare would have smouldered into them. It was short lived though, as Leon placed a blindfold over them without even looking. Kai continued to glare at the dark material obscuring his view.
He heard the metallic sounds of a catch being unlocked and he was tilted toward the ground. He fell into the boot of the car with a loud thump and he groaned. The boot lid slammed down and what little light Kai could see through the blindfold was now extinguished. He heard doors being slammed shut and the engine roared into life.
The driver had a sick sense of humour as the car lurched forward. Kai was flung against the boot door. He tried to settle himself for a very bumpy ride.

Ray felt funny. His head felt like it stuffed with cotton wool, and his mouth felt the same. He tried to open his eyes, only to find it wasn't as easy as it had always seemed. After a little concentration, he managed to crack open one amber eye slightly. Some more effort and two sleepy eyes blinked in the white surroundings. Where was he? It felt like he was lying on something soft, a bed? If it was, it wasn't his bed. He turned his head slowly and caught Tyson's eye. Tyson grinned.
"He's awake!" he called out to someone.
Ray flinched at the noise. Tyson came and sat down on a chair beside him.
"Sorry dude, had to let the others know you were ok, how you feeling?"
Ray managed to croak out a fine, which left Tyson in a small set of giggles. The door opened and they were both distracted as the room filled with bodies. Everyone was there, Max, Kenny, Hilary (with a bandage around her neck, Ray noted), Samantha, Tyson's dad and grandpa, and Mr. Dickinson. Then he blinked twice, he watched as pink hair pushed its way to his bed.
"Ray!"
"Mariah?" he managed with out too much croaking.
"Oh Ray! I'm so glad you're ok; don't ever scare me like that!" She chided before hugging him tightly.
"Ow! Mariah, not so hard", Ray was finding his voice.
"I'm sorry, but you scared me so badly!" her lower lip began to tremble, "I got the phone call from Mr. Dickinson saying that you had been stabbed and all I could think about was the worst!" tears began to slide gently down her cheeks.
"Whoa! Don't cry, I'm ok!" Ray wiped the tears from her cheeks tenderly, "I'm fine, a little sore, but fine." To emphasize his point he kissed her softly, his hands now cupping her face. They pulled apart and she smiled at him. He turned to the others in the room, his own smile slightly sheepish, slightly cheeky at their grins.
"What happened after I blacked out?"
Samantha took the lead, "we brought you to hospital and you were operated on. You're lucky you know, the knife wasn't large. The shoulder is a tricky place to wound, so many complications can arise from it. The knife penetrated in a place where little long lasting damage can usually be done. You are either very lucky, or the person that threw it knew what they were doing."
"Id go with the latter, Leon is dangerous," Ray glanced at all the faces in the room, "where's Kai, didn't he come back?"
Tyson answered him this time, "no he didn't, and we couldn't find him, sorry man."
Ray frowned, "how long have I been out?"
"About a day, it happened yesterday" said Max.
Ray looked at Mariah who was still perched on his bed, "I guess that's how you got here so seemingly fast."
"And I wont be going anywhere for a while either!" she said determined, her eyes flashing. Ray smiled at her. He then looked up at Hilary.
"How are you?"
She gave a small grin, "I'm fine, he hardly cut me, I got more of a scare then anything."
Ray nodded, "what are we going to do about Kai, he's in real danger with Leon."
Mr. Dickinson sighed, "We are trying to do what we can, but we have no idea where to look, they are no longer using the Hiwatari mansion, we have that place under strict control."
"They have Tadashi as well" said Ray.
There was mixed reaction to that remark around the room. Some nodded and agreed, some frowned, and one even looked angry and disgusted at the thought of that name.
"We have to help them both, what about Dizzi tracking Dranzer, we now Kai had his blade with him."
"No luck, I've tried, Dranzer's output is too weak at the moment to track, but I have Dizzi on it at all times. As soon as she picks up a signal, we'll know."
"Thanks Chief." It was a small light in a very, very big dark cloud.

Kai was woken up again by a large bump. He had been in the boot for longer then he cared to think. He had tried sleep as it seemed the only thing he could do, and it prevented him from getting bored and thinking. He really resented his mind right now, when he had nothing else to concentrate on, his thoughts travelled onto his parents, Tadashi, and to Ray. He hoped Ray was ok, and he just hoped Tadashi was alive! His thoughts were interrupted as the car screeched to a halt and he was thrown to the other end of the boot. He hit his head and groaned as it spun. The boot flooded with light, and he was pulled out.
