A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Well the plot is starting to thicken now so here is the next chapter.

Couples: Kai/Ray, Tyson/Hillary or Tyson/Max

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or Kai, Ray, Max, or Tyson.

Chapter 3
Tyson was talking to Dragoon as well as Max was talking to Draciel. Dranzer had perched itself on top of Kai's shoulder and Ray was rubbing Driger's fur. Hillary was sitting next to the dragon bitbeast and was making a conversation with it. After a while they looked at the time to see it almost near 11:00pm and they had to get home to Tyson's house. They exited the bar from the back door with their bitbeast still in solid forms. Hillary's dragon bitbeast however had to stay back at the bar.

The next morning the beybreakers woke up with the bitbeast sound asleep next to them. Ray walked out of bed and walk out to get the morning papers. He walked back in and started reading it. There was a headline that caught his attention.

{News article}
Missing Bladers
Later last night worried family members had called the police, stating that someone from their family was missing. Those members last heard from them just before they entered the X-Bar. Investigators were sent to inspect the bar, but all that was found was beyblades that had the pictures of the people who were missing. There have been suspicion that there were all kidnapped, though it puzzles polices how over 300 people could disappear in one night.

"This is strange, we were at that bar last night and I didn't see anything suspicious" Max said.

"You think they all ran away," Tyson asked.

"Tyson use your brain, why would so many run away at one time. And what is it about the police finding beyblades with bitbeast in the form of people?" Hillary said.

"That is what I was asked to figure out" a voice from behind the gang said. They turned to see Mr. Dickinson.

"Mr. Dickinson!" They all said in surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Tyson asked.

"To find out what happened to the people who disappeared from the X- bar last night. I got some new info that everyone that had stayed after 11:30 had gone missing after going to the bar. It was only the people who had entered the room with the special particle that let bitbeast become solid." Mr. Dickinson explained.

"This is strange. Are there anymore leads to who might have been able to take them?" Ray asked.

"None at all. But we have confused that the organization which caused this was aiming to take the four bitbeast that you hold." Mr. Dickinson said.

"Urgh what is it with these people and them wanting to take our bitbeast? It's like we're on the 1-800-want-our-bitbeast list or something." Tyson shouted annoyed.

"Calm down Tyson" Max said.

As they were discussing the situation the beybreakers bitbeast came out of the room they were sleeping in and went to there masters.

"I just thought of something but I'm going to need Kenny research on it with Emily and Max's mom. I'd better get in touch with them now, I'll see you later." Mr. Dickinson said and exited the house.

"This is very puzzling" Hillary said.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Ray asked.

"About the police only finding beyblades with pictures of the missing people in the bitchip. Doesn't it seem strange to you?" Hillary said and got the newspaper.

"Come to think of it, that did seem strange. Should we go down to the bar and check it out?" Max asked.

Before anyone could agree or disagree, Dragoon started talking. "Wait, look at what it says, they only the people who stayed after 11:30pm were disappeared."

Driger looked at Dragoon. "You have a point there, what is so special about 11:30pm that day that made them disappear."

"Do you think it was planned that we were suppose to stay longer?" Draciel asked.

Dranzer put his head up and started talking. "No. I think there was another reason. Think of it, why only this night. Last year Ray and Kai went to the bar as well and they could have done it then, but they didn't. Remember last night was a full moon. At 11:30 is the usual time people are asleep so the lights are turned off."

"That's true, last night most of the towns lights were turned off, so maybe who or what every took those people needed the moons power or light somehow." Driger said.

"Our bitbeast are right, we should investigate this." Tyson said and got up. "Come on lets go and see if we can find some clues."

They all got up and walked out and headed to the bar. Their bitbeast followed them. Dragoon, Draciel, and Driger walked while Dranzer flew or landed on Kai's arm. Once they got to the bar it was surrounded by police and there was a yellow line that blocked people form entering. As they were about to enter by crawling under the yellow line, Mr. Dickinson called out to them. Kenny was standing next to his with his laptop in his right arm.

"Hey guys. I found out the name of the owner of this bar. His name is Kyu Hikari. He does research on making bitbeast into real living breathing creatures. He is in the organization BCO that stands for Bitbeast Creators Organization. I'll have Dizzy run a scan to find where he is now." Kenny said as he opened his laptop and Dizzy appeared.

"Dizzy run a check to find Kyu Hikari." After a couple of seconds Dizzy got up a screen of a map of the town and put a red dot that showed where Kyu lived. It was near the harbor and was about 10 blocks away from where they were.

"That's some long walk. Better get started" Dizzy said.

"We will but first we're going to look at the inside of the bar too see if there are anything else that might help find out what happened." Max said.

They all entered the bar and walked to the room, which had the special particle that had been blown into the room. When they entered they saw beyblades everywhere. Ray walked over to one and looked at it. The beyblades looked at though it had been in a battle and lost, badly comparing to the scratches. The others also walked to other beyblades and examined them. They all looked as though they where just in a battle and lost.

Suddenly something clicked in Kai and he called out to Ray to follow him outside for a minute. Ray followed and once they where outside Kai looked at Ray.

"Have you figured what's wrong with that room?" Kai asked.

"Um...beside the beyblades no." Ray answered.

"It's faint but the room has a smell of alcohol."

"How could you smell it?"

"You forgot, I had a little to much of it and still had that taste and smell from last time."

"So, I didn't smell it. It's not like I haven't tried it before. Although I've never gotten drunk." Ray said and smirked. Kai walked closer to him and grabbed the front of Ray's shirt with one hand and pushed him against the bar's wall. Mostly the surrounding area was cleared earlier by Mr. Dickinson's orders so that they could investigate.

"Oh God, not this again. I hope he's not going to do what I think he's going to do." Ray though as Kai started into Ray's eyes.

"You know Ray, I didn't tell you this yet but...that night I wasn't really all that drunk. I knew my actions... and my target. To bad I fell asleep before I could finish..." Kai said as it ended when their lips met.
