Hey peeps, sorry it took so long for me to update.

"Where are we?" They looked around, all in an attempt to answer the question. They were standing outside a tall, stone, castle. There were two tall doors made of rotten oak, at the entrance. Metal spiralled up the edges and into the centre where they curled out into two massive doorknobs. There were no windows on the ground floor, and very few on all the floors above. Except what seemed to be the fifth floor, which had many large, stained glass windows, although most of these were smashed. Ivy climbed its way up the walls, but even this was dead. At the very top, they could just an iron barred window and nothing else except thick, stonewalls. Kenny sighed,
"Uh, guys?"
"Yeah?"
"What are we gonna do?" Tyson puzzled for a second,
"I guess we go in." He said walking to the edge and observing that they were on an island suspended about 50 feet from the dark ocean below. Kai and Hilary nodded receiving a terrified stare from Kenny. Kai, Tyson and Hilary walked up to the wooden doors and observed the walls around them.
"Uh, how exactly?" Asked Hilary, "There's no way in, unless we have a battering ram handy." Tyson sighed and turned to her,
"As usual, the bearer of bad news." He turned back to the doors, "Well there has to be someway in." He said. Kai looked the doors up and down. He walked to the one on the left and looked it over again. He felt the damp wood around the centre then stood back. He sent three swift but hard kicks to the point he had picked out and succeeded in smashing a hole, just big enough for them to fit through, in it.
"Nice job Kai." Tyson said taking a look through the newly made entrance. Kai slipped through it,
"What are you waiting for, an invitation?" He asked sarcastically.
"Jolly as usual." Tyson said as he crept through the hole as well. Kenny started shaking,
"I don't think this is a good idea guys." He said wimpily, but ran after them as he realised that they had all left and he was standing alone, "Hey, wait for me!"
They ran down a long, dark corridor. In some places, candles hung neatly on the damp walls, making shadows dance where the dim light was not present. The sound of footsteps on the stone floor could be heard as they neared a fork in the passage. They ducked into the shadows, each holding their breath from the two men who walked past. As the men stepped out of sight, the group stepped out of their hiding place. They observed the different options of pathways,
"Which way?" Tyson asked looking up at Kai. The slate haired teen thought for a minute before pointing down one on the right,
"This one. Come one, stay together." He said running off, the others following closely behind. They ran down this new hallway, which looked identical to the first, unawares that they were being watched. As they ran, they came to a halt, causing Kenny, who was behind them, to go crashing into Hilary's back.
"Hey guys, why'd you stop?" He asked after regaining his composure.
"Dead end." Tyson said bluntly. Kenny turned away sheepishly,
"Why'd you have to call it that?" He murmured to himself. Suddenly the silence was split as a loud voice rang out through the corridors. The walls sprang to life and on each a screen appeared. On these screens came the image of Voltaire. He smiled as Kai growled,
"What do you want?" He demanded. Hilary looked around at the angry reactions on her friends' faces.
"Uh, are you Voltaire?" She asked. She had been told all about the world championships and Kai's grandfather soon after she met the Bladebreakers. The man on the screen nodded,
"That I am." He stepped back slightly revealing the two figures that were standing behind him. They all gasped at what they saw, it was Rei. He was quite badly beaten, but still standing. Next to him was Bryan, who had the same angry, hateful expression as always. He struggled from Bryan's grip as Voltaire paused. He got as close to the camera as he could and shouted.
"Guys, run! They're gonna-" He was cut off as Bryan delivered a deep blow to his stomach. He doubled over and sank to his knees. The violet haired boy then hit Rei over the head, which sent him smashing into a wall knocking him out on contact.
"Leave him ALONE!" Kai shouted glaring at his evil grandfather.
"Aww, what's wrong Kai? If you want to rescue your friends, you'll just have to come yourself." The wall slid open revealing a densely shadowed corridor. Voltaire smiled evilly,
"Let the games begin."
