Kai lay curled up where Boris had left him. He shivered in the dark from the chill in the sea air, but did nothing to find something to keep him warm. He flexed some muscles gingerly, wincing as he felt every bruise. At least nothing had been broken, yet. It had been a tough night, Boris didn't know the meaning of gentle, and revenge blocked any compassion Boris might have learned form his time trapped in others pain. Now Boris had left and had locked Kai in the room, dark, cold, hungry, and thirsty. Kai's throat was sore from crying out, no matter how hard he had tried not to, the sound still escaped from his lips.
Kai thought back onto the beginning of the night. It had started when Leon left the room. Kai had been able to move then, his body was again his, but the sudden effect had left Kai staggering and dizzy. Boris turned it into a game, for him anyway. He had chased Kai around the small cabin, waiting for his moment to strike. The man was more slippery then a greased snake, dodging everything Kai had thrown at him, enjoying the anticipation till he struck and snared Kai. He had finally caught Kai, and they fought amongst the mess already made. No matter what Kai did, Boris had a counter attack, and he played dirty.
Boris hadn't gone completely unscathed, his face had bruises, his nose had bled, and Kai was certain he had broken a couple of Boris's fingers. But it seemed Boris was oblivious to the pain, and Kai landed up causing scratch marks in desperation as Boris had cornered and bound him. Then the real beating started, punches, kicks, and even bites now reaped their effects on Kai's body. Once Boris had Kai, bound and bleeding, on the floor, he had done the worst thing that Kai could think of.
"It wasn't enough to beat my body, was it Boris, you just had to beat my soul too" Kai said to the air, his voice hoarse.
Boris had taken him on the floor where he still lay. His top torn, and his trousers still round his knees, he had lain there, not wanting to move. He could still feel the dried blood that had ran down his legs. He could remember so vividly each touch of Boris's hands, each thrust, every breath that had grunted out of Boris's lungs, and each whisper, each promise that had been uttered. Once finished, he had pushed Kai to the floor and left him as he opened a cupboard and had eaten and drunk some of the contents as he watched Kai shiver on the floor. Then Boris found a chair, turned it upright, and had fallen asleep. He had woken up though, and Kai had been the receiving end of Boris's pleasure once again. He had been no gentler then before, and after he was done, he had searched Kai's pockets. He removed Dranzer and Black Dranzer from the pockets, gave the ring in Kai's lip a tweak, and had cut the bonds that held Kai before he turned off the lights, left and locked the door.
Enough was enough; Kai heaved himself from the floor. He paused on his hands and knees to catch his breath before he stood up. He bent to pull up his trousers; his belt was lost in the darkness. He rubbed his arms as he looked into the dreary surroundings. Chaos ruled the cabin, as furniture had been tossed aside, broken by panicked feet and rolling bodies. Anything on the furniture had been thrown across the floor, and now crunched under Kai's shoes. At least they hadn't removed anything else from Kai; he didn't want to have to escape with no clothes or shoes at all.
He walked carefully to the cupboard, its doors open wide. He felt around in its dark depths, and found a bottle and plates. A plate fell to the floor and smashed, Kai winced in the dark, hoping it hadn't alerted anybody. He drank what was in the bottle, thankful it was just water, and knelt to pick up a piece of the broken plate. He found an edge that was sharp by accident. He sucked his now bleeding finger as he pocketed the sharp pottery. He might need it later.
A clicking noise from the door snapped Kai's attention. He whirled round in time to see it pushed open, light flooding the dark room. He shielded his eyes, unable to see as two men approached him. They grabbed him and held him fast between them. Kai struggled viciously, and they had trouble holding him, but they still did, and Kai could not escape from them. They dragged him through the door and down the corridor. Kai kicked one of them hard, and the man let go. Wrenching free of the other, Kai ran ahead, only to be tripped by Leon. He had been hiding in a shadowed doorway, and had watched as Kai made a run for it. The men soon caught up, and this time they carried Kai between them.
The four of them entered another room, but the portholes were not blacked out here. Kai could see water in the darkness, sparkling silver at the peak of every small wave as it reflected the moon. The land was distant, a dark shadow rising from the sea. Lights glittered from buildings and towns. At least the boat was not moving further away, Voltaire obviously thought they were far enough. The men holding Kai stood him up, and continued to hold him steady.
Voltaire sat in front of him, a desk stood between them. Boris was already standing by Voltaire's left, and Leon walked to stand by his right. Kai looked around him, noticing something lying under one of the round windows.
"Tadashi!" he called out, his voice sounding rough and broken.
She didn't stir.
"What did you do to her!" demanded Kai, furious now she had been involved and hurt.
Voltaire sneered in her direction. "She was weak; she couldn't handle the fusion between her and Phagus. Now she refuses to wake, and Phagus had disappeared, a waste of tow valuable resources!"
"I thought you said only I could fuse with a bitbeast?" asked Kai, confused at Voltaire's motive to try with someone else.
"I tried an experiment, since you cannot be relied upon, and it failed! I see you took your punishment, well done Boris. It seems you can do something right."
At Voltaire's approval, Boris smirked. His glare behind that mask made Kai want to shiver, but he suppressed it. He needed to focus.
"Where is Dranzer!" he spat out, he could feel the bitbeast close by.
Voltaire lifted his hands, and held in each palm was a bit chip. Dranzer's red in one, Black Dranzer's dark in the other.
"Give them back to me!" yelled Kai, his struggles increasing.
"You will have them back Kai, as I am going to fuse them to you, both of them." Voltaire explained.
"You can try!" said Kai through gritted teeth, he had already fused with Dranzer, Voltaire knew that, now he thought he could make it happen, and Kai didn't believe him.
"I will succeed Kai, the chip will deal with that." Voltaire then waved a closed fist in Leon's direction. Leon smirked as he fiddled with the small black thing in his hands, and Kai suddenly jerked. The men let go and Kai found himself standing stiffly to attention, unable to move. He felt the bruises and cuts as they screamed in sudden pain. His breathing became sharp as he adjusted to the position. He then found that speaking was impossible. Voltaire then gave Leon the two bit chips. They disappeared into one of the many pockets.
"Now then, shall we begin?" purred Leon. He walked up to Kai and stroked the ring in Kai's lip.
"It suits you Kai, and makes it handy for me to handle you!" he then attached a small chain onto the ring. "Walk with me" he ordered and Kai was forced to follow as Leon led him like a dog into an adjoining room. They were the only two that entered as Leon led him to another tube that reached from ceiling to floor of the room. Kai didn't know why Leon had put the chain on, since he had to obey due to the chip anyway. Probably Leon's sense of humour, Kai thought.
"Did they have these tubes everywhere?" thought Kai, unable to say it.
Leon led him to the tube and ordered him in. he then unhooked the chain and shut Kai inside. The room was bare apart from the tube and a control panel that stood next to a wall. The floor, ceiling, and walls were all lined with metal. A single bright light hung from the riveted metal panels on the ceiling. Kai watched with frustrated fascination as Leon strode over to the control panel and placed the two bit chips of Dranzer and Black Dranzer into slots. The control device for Kai's chip then went into another. Leon blocked the view as he worked on the panel, pressing things. Kai's body went slack as the device no longer held control over him.
At least the tube hadn't filled up with anything, which was Kai's main concern. But something did start to happen. The tube did fill with something; a greyish sheen seemed to coat the tube walls, and Kai. It seemed to float in the air, and he had to breathe it in. sparks started at the top of the tube. Kai tried to crouch, but in the narrow confines, was unable to go far. It was inevitable, and the sparks struck Kai. Instant pain shot through him as electricity seemed to caress his skin. It played along Kai's surface, and the grey substance thickened. Screams poured form Kai's already sore throat, yet he could still feel the great sensation he had when he fused with Dranzer not that long ago. But now it was mixed with pain, and something dark, Black Dranzer.
He opened his eyes one last time, and saw Leon had been joined with Voltaire and Boris. Then the shocks were too much, and the grey substance blocked the view completely. The screams were cut off, and the room went silent.
Somewhere in a town near by, a computer sent out a sudden signal.
"Whoa Dizzi!" exclaimed Kenny as she beeped insistently at him.
He opened up the laptop and began typing, but it wasn't long before he paused, holding his breathe.
"What is it chief?" someone asked, but Kenny didn't acknowledge who.
"Its Kai, Dranzer's signal has just been detected, strongly. But there's a problem, so has Black Dranzer's."
"Where?"
"In the sea, by a harbour two towns away."
The decision was unanimous, "lets go."
