Thank you for all the great and wonderful reviews!
I know that this story just kind of started out with no explanation or anything...but it was meant to be a mystery sort of thing.
In this chapter, I explained everything though...at least I think I did
lol
Anyway...hopefully it will all make sence!
Enjoy if you can!

Chapter 3
Tyson, Rei, Max, Hilary and Kenny all jumped out of the ambulance as their captain was carried off on a stretcher, still unconscious from the blow to the head.
"You don't think he's really hurt...do you?" Hilary asked with worry, fearing that she had seriously injured the blue haired teen.
"Don't worry about that...I bet that won't even effect him!" Rei gave her a reassuring smile as the group came to the waiting room.
"Kai...." Hilary watched as the teen was carried off down the hallway and into the ER.
After a few minutes of waiting, a large elderly man burst through the main doors, his face plastered with concern.
"Mr. Dickinson!" Rei exclaimed, standing from his chair.
"Rei! What's going on?!" He asked, grabbing the Chinese teen's shoulders.
"Kai got into some kind of fight, and then flipped out of us!" Tyson explained.
"He kept jabbering on about someone....but we haven't noticed anyone!" Max added.
"Tyson's living room is a wreck! Kai was fighting something, but there was no signs of any other living thing!" Kenny stated.
"Kai?!" Mr. Dickinson seemed surprised. "What's happening now?"
"They took him into the ER." Tyson said, pointing down the hallway.
"Alright...." The elder sighed. "I'll see what I can find out."
It had been many hours, and the BladeBreakers had all fallen asleep in the cramped waiting area.
"Mr. Stanley Dickinson?" A voice called.
The elder slowly awakened, only to be greeted with an average sized doctor, thick glasses sitting on his bony nose and a long white coat over his shoulders.
"Oh!" The BBA president jumped to his feet, brushing out the wrinkles in his coat. "What's going on doctor?"
"Well sir..." He pushed his glasses closer to his nose.
By now, the rest of the team had awakened, and were anxiously awaiting the news of their captain.
The doctor cleared his throat and looked down at a thick stack of papers on a clipboard. "This is somewhat hard to explain...Mr. Hiwatari has suffered many physical injuries, with multiple bruises on most of his bones....but what has interested me more is that we found a high concentration of an unidentifiable chemical throughout his blood stream."
"Chemical?!" Everyone seemed shocked.
The doctor nodded sadly. "I haven't seen anything like it myself, and we've been running multiple tests to find out what the effects of it are. So far, we can tell it causes an extreme reaction in the brain, resulting in strong hallucinations."
The teens all looked at each other with wide eyes.
"I was told that you said that he had been attacked?" The doctor looked at the five teens.
"Yeah...it appeared that he had been involved in a fight, but we saw no signs of any attacker."
"Hmmm...." The doctor nodded his head, flipping through the various papers secured on to the clipboard. "I have found no signs of any use of weapons on his body..."
"Are you saying Kai did all that to....himself?!" Hilary exclaimed.
"It's very likely. If he started hallucinating, he could have thought he was fighting someone, but really wasn't. His injuries could have been self inflicted without him even knowing it!"
"Kai's going crazy?!" Tyson blinked a few times.
"Kai's not crazy Tyson. I bet this has something to do with BioVolt!" Rei said.
"Can...can we see him?" Hilary dared to ask.
The doctor's face became disgruntled slightly. "Well...we had to restrain him to his bed. I don't think it's wise for you to go in right now...."
"Please?!"
"Come on doc! Kai's like family to all of us!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Yeah!" The rest of the team agreed.
The doctor sighed. "Alright....I can let only one of you in though. But not for long!"
The doctor led Mr. Dickinson and the five teenaged beybladers down the hall of the critical care unit, and stopped at a door.
A nurse burst out, gasping for breath and closing the door behind her.
She looked up at the group in front of her, and gave a half hearted smile.
Suddenly, they heard a loud curse from behind the door.
The nurse regained her posture and quickly fixed her hair, nodding silently to the doctor before walking off.
"I'm guessing Kai doesn't like hospitals too much..." Rei stated, smirking slightly.
"Uh...I say send Hilary in first!" Tyson exclaimed, nudging the brunette toward the door.
"Wha?! Why me?!"
"Well...you're the one that has gotten along with Kai the most lately...." Tyson replied.
"That's not a bad idea!" Mr. Dickinson said. "Just be careful my dear."
"Yeah...we've been around Kai when he's pissed...and that was dangerous...now he's just irate!" Max exclaimed.
Rei poked the blonde in his ribs with his elbow. "That's not helping Max..."
Hilary swallowed her fear and grabbed hold of the door knob.
"Alright...but you so owe me for this!"
With that, she disappeared inside the room.
The blue haired teen had been restrained to his bed, a thick strap across his bandaged chest and a pair of straps around his wrists.
Kai was busy trying to free his hands, but was failing terribly.
"Um...Kai?"
The teen's attention snapped to the brunette standing at the entrance.
She shifted her weight and looked at her hands in front of her.
At her hesitation, Kai began trying to free himself again.
"What do you want?" He growled, glaring at her slightly.
"Please stop Kai...." She took a few steps forward and touched her captain's bruised arm. "You're sick...please just rest here awhile."
"I'm perfectly fine!" He growled in response. "Now let me go!"
"I....I can't..." She said in a soft voice.
The crimson eyed teen cursed under his breath. "I should have never called him!"
"If we didn't find you out there, you would have died Kai!" Hilary said, her voice growing in volume slightly.
"Don't you understand?! Boris will continue to hunt me down until I die! I'm putting everyone in danger!"
"Kai! Boris is gone! What you think is him is not real! He's a shadow of your nightmares!"
Kai's eyes narrowed dangerously at the girl, an ominous growl erupting in his throat.
It must have been audible from outside, because Tyson and Rei came in against the doctor's wishes, ready to calm their captain's rising anger.
At the sight of the two bladers, Kai immediately tried to wrench his body free once again.
"Kai stop!" Rei exclaimed, rushing over with Tyson to help hold him still.
"He's still out there! Release me at once!" Kai demanded, twisting his sore wrists within the leather restraints.
"Kai! The police have already searched my house! There wasn't any evidence that anyone other than us were there!" Tyson said, trying to calm his captain down.
Kai glared at the navy haired teen. "I'm not crazy!" He shook his head furiously. "You fools must think I'm losing my mind then!"
"We're not saying that Kai!" Rei started, holding his hands up. "We just think you've been stressed out lately....with everything that's happened to you!"
The blue haired teen growled again, wrenching his arm free of it's restraint.
He grabbed a metal tray on his bedside table and hurled it at the group of teens.
With a scream of surprise, the team scurried back toward the door.
"Just leave me alone!" Kai yelled, louder than he ever had before.
Rei, Tyson and Hilary were freaked out with their captain's tone, and decided it was indeed best to leave.
So with his words, the teens turned and hurried out of the room, leaving Kai in the dim twilight with only the sound of the few beeping machines around him.
