"Tyson do you even know where you're going?!" Hilary shouted as the team splashed down the wet street.
"Kai said something about a warehouse, and there is only two that are still around, one happens to be abandoned, and they happen to be close by!"
"You think Kai's in one of them?" Rei asked.
"I can only hope! He sounded really hurt!"
"I hope he's alright...."
"There it is!" Max pointed to a ruined building on the corner, most of its walls and roof decayed from the years.
"Someone's been here recently too!" Rei exclaimed, pointing out the tire tracks and footprints in the mud.
"Kai! Where are you!?" Tyson yelled, only to be cut off by the thunder.
The teens rushed inside, finding the inside of the warehouse to be no dryer than the outside.
"Man! It's so dark in here!" Max said, squinting his eyes in the darkness.
"I guess no one thought to bring a flashlight!" Hilary seemed a little annoyed, looking over to Tyson. "Of course we just ran out of the house, without thinking!"
"I didn't see anyone stopping me!"
"That's because you were five feet in front of us!"
"Would you two PLEASE be quiet!" Kenny shouted.
Suddenly, a loud roar of lightning filled the warehouse with light.
"Over there!" Hilary exclaimed, pointing to a mess of wooden crates scattered across the floor.
"Shhhh! Did you hear that?" Rei asked.
Everyone fell silent.
A soft voice began speaking again.
".....if you need help hang up, then dial your operator."
"It's....it's a phone!" Max exclaimed.
The group rushed over to the shattered crates in search of the phone, knowing that once they found it, they would find their captain.
The wall opposite of the crates had been blown away, allowing some light from the streets to fill the wreckage area.
Rei stepped carefully around the fragments, following the voice from the phone.
Suddenly, he spotted it.
A red and black cell phone laid face down on the ground.
"Over here!" The raven haired teen shouted, waving to the rest of his friends.
Another crackle of lightning showed a motionless body, buried under layers of wooden shards, his arm and head barely visible in the darkness.
The phone was right by it's owners hand, and it appeared that he was trying to crawl out from under the wreckage.
"Oh my God! Kai!" Rei immediately began to throw off pieces of debris from his captain's unconscious body.
"Did you find him?" Tyson asked, rushing over.
"No Tyson....I just want to rearrange the mess!"
"You idiot!" Hilary shouted, helping Rei.
"Everyone's a critic......"
After a few moments, the teen's came to a large piece of wood, most likely a lid from one of the crates, separating them from their blue haired captain.
Rei, Tyson and Max all tried to lift the lid, and after a brief struggle, managed to throw it off the body.
"Oh my God....." Max turned away, feeling his stomach would explode.
Kai laid on his chest, shards of wood sticking out of his back, arms and legs.
Rei bent down and skillfully removed the shards, careful not to break any of them.
Once he was finished, the boys picked up their captain and dragged him out of the rubble, and laying him gently on a patch of dry cement.
"Kai..." Hilary fell to her knees next to him, tears forming in her eyes.
"This looks bad.....how did he get so beat up?" Max asked.
Rei was busy checking the cell phone for any clues.
Hilary touched his bruised cheek, her hand recoiling at the coldness.
"He's so cold....." She muttered.
The brunette pressed her fingers to the side of his throat, checking for a pulse.
Suddenly, crimson eyes parted open slightly with a moan.
"He's....he's alive!" Everyone gasped.
"Kai! What happened to you?" Tyson asked.
He blinked, his eyelids falling almost completely.
"Stay awake Kai! You can sleep later!" Hilary said, trying to hold back her tears.
"Where.......where......." He started.
"You're in an abandoned warehouse. We got your call and came to find you!" Rei said.
"Is....he? Where....." Kai moaned in pain, clenching his eyes shut.
"Who Kai?"
"He's.....still here...." The blue haired teen looked around as best as he could.
"Who are you talking about Kai? Kai?!" Tyson shook his captain gently, but he passed out once again.
"It's obvious he was fighting someone.....but he must have escaped without a scratch!"
"But who?!" Tyson demanded.
"Shh! Calm down Tyson! We'll just have to wait until Kai wakes up again." Hilary said calmly.
"Let's get back....we're all going to catch a cold out here...." Rei walked back over to his injured captain and helped Tyson hoist him to his feet.
Once the teens got back to Tyson's dojo, Rei and Tyson laid Kai down on the couch, and began treating his injuries.
"It looks like the shrapnel from those crates caused the most damage..." Hilary stated, wrapping a gash on Kai's arm with thick gauze.
"Yeah...he should be fine by morning!" Max said, smiling.
Suddenly, the injured teen began to shiver violently.
"He's been soaked to the bone! Tyson, do you have any extra blankets around here?"
"Sure! I'll be right back."
Hilary began to peal off Kai's torn shirt, revealing more of his injuries.
Rei pitched in and helped clean the wounds on his toned back.
"Man....what did he get himself into this time?" Max wondered out loud.
"You mean this has happened before?!" Hilary seemed shocked.
"Kai's gotten into a lot of fights over the years, but none of them have been like......this!" Kenny said.
"I'm back!" Tyson announced, carrying two thick blankets in his arms.
He laid them over Kai's shivering form, and slowly his body came to a rest.
"He looks exhausted....we should leave him to rest." Rei said after he finished bandaging Kai's torso.
With that, everyone filed out of the room and let the blue haired teen rest.
"Oh Kai?" A voice echoed through the teen's mind.
Kai tossed in his sleep, groaning as he tried to keep his eyes closed.
"Come on Kai....I know you're here...."
Crimson eyes shot open, and the teen sat straight up on the couch. He scanned the dark room he was in, trying to locate the owner of the voice.
He growled and got to his feet, swaying slightly.
"You're so weak my young phoenix." The voice came again.
"Show yourself Boris!" Kai demanded.
"You already know where I am."
The teen swerved around and saw a tall figure, shrouded in the shadows of the room.
Kai could feel his heartbeat sky rocket, and his breathing became labored.
"Now now Kai....you know this has been coming for a long while now...." Boris started, taking a few steps forward.
The blue haired teen found himself retreating until his sore back hit the wall.
Cursing, he clenched his hands into fists and prepared for another fight.
"This night will be your last!"
With that, Boris lundged forward.
Kai ducked and rolled to the side, narrowly missing his opponent's attack.
Before he could even get to his knees, Boris had sent him flying into the couch, tipping it over on it's backside.
Kai moaned and got to his feet, only to be greeted with Boris's glowing red goggles.
He cursed again as the older Russian began an onslaught of punches.
Kai raised his arms, taking most of the attacks.
After a moment, he found and opening, and it was Kai's turn to be on the offensive.
"What do you want with me?!" He demanded, throwing punch after punch to his enemy.
Boris swiftly dodged most of them, only taking a few minor hits. He laughed and grabbed Kai's arm, twisting it in a death grip.
"Augh!" Kai cried out in pain as he tried to wrench his arm free.
"Why can't I hit him?" He asked himself. His body was moving abnormally slow, giving Boris a dangerous edge.
Suddenly, Boris threw Kai against the wall, shattering the picture frame hanging there.
Kai slid down the wall and came to rest on the floor, his head flopped down staring at his lap.
"What's going on?!" He heard a voice call from outside the room.
A light flipped on in the outside hall.
"I will return young Kai....." Boris said.
Kai held his arm close to his body, glaring at his opponent.
"Kai?!" Hilary's voice filled the room as she turned on a light with a gasp.
The crimson eyed boy looked over to her, and then returned his gaze toward Boris, who had disappeared.
"Oh my God!" The rest of the team had entered the room.
The once orderly living room was is complete disarray. The couch was turned over, furniture and lamps were broken and laying in pieces on the floor, and Kai was seated with his back against the wall, in apparent pain and a look of disorientation on his face.
"Kai?" Hilary rushed to his side.
"Get.....away from me!" His voice went hoarse as he went into a coughing fit.
"What happened in here?!" Rei asked, looking about.
"Grandpa's gonna kill me!" Tyson wailed.
Kai fell forward slightly, trying to raise to his feet. A loud pop in his arm prevented him though, and Hilary ended up pushing him back down.
"Let...me....be....I need....to get him!"
"Let us help you Kai!" Hilary reached out to touch his painted cheek.
"N...no!" The teen squirmed, trying to run away, but his legs lacked the strength to even stand.
"Not so fast Kai!" Rei grabbed his captain under the arms and hoisted him to his feet.
"Let.....me......go!" The blue haired teen tried to fight the Chinese blader, but Tyson rushed over to help hold him still.
"You're just going to hurt yourself even more!"
"I....I have to get him! I...must....."
"You aren't going anywhere until you get better!" Rei narrowed his eyes.
"I'll go call the doctor." Kenny announced, rushing over to the telephone.
"No!" Kai shouted as loud as he could. "There's nothing wrong with me!"
Their captain wasn't making it easy for Rei and Tyson as they tried to keep him under control.
"He's out there! Let me go!" He shouted, squirming desperately to get free.
Suddenly, a sharp pain ran through his head, and darkness began to invade his vision.
Kai mumbled something inaudibly before falling limp in his teammates' arms.
Rei and Tyson turned to see Hilary, holding a leg from a broken end table in her hand.
"Forgive me Kai...."
