GOB: Good enough, on with the fic! Oh, and I can't believe it... ELEVEN REVIEWS FOR ONE CHAPTER??? YOU GUYS AND GALS ARE THE GREATEST!!!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

"Isn't that..." Max thought to himself, but shook his head, dismissing the thought. After all, "What on earth would Tala be doing in this hotel?"

Max shook his head once again, and followed the rest of the Bladebreakers to the front lobby.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

"Damn it, how the hell did they find me?" Kai asked Tala, as he finished packing his stuff up. "I didn't tell anyone where I was going, hell, I even made my flight reservations under a false name!"

Tala looked surprised for a moment, then a thought clicked in his head,

"Dickinson."

Kai shook his head in disagreement.

"I told him that I was heading to Australia to think. I even bought a ticket in my name for it. There is no possible reason for him to even think that I came her, to Russia."

Tala frowned and was about to say something, before Kai cut him off.

"Shit..."

Tala glanced at his friend, before asking, "What? What is it?"

Kai sighed and ran his hand through his duo colored locks, before replying,

"I thought it was just my imagination, but I could've sworn I heard someone calling my name when I boarded my flight, and now that I've come to think about it, it sounded a lot like Max..."

Tala muttered something under his breath, before glancing down the hallway and saying,

"Coast is clear, let's jet."

With that, the two slunk off, carefully avoiding everyone that came their way.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

~ Meanwhile, the other members of the Bladebreakers were having a very *pause* serious discussion... ~

"Guys, we really need to talk..." Max started, and Tyson replied,

"Aww, come on Maxie! I'm starving!" Max glared ever so slightly at Tyson before replying,

"I mean a SERIOUS discussion... about what we're going to do when we find Kai. We have to stop acting like this is all just another game! Like the moment we find him, it'll be all sunshine and rainbows again! Grow up Tyson! Face it! We screwed up, we screwed up big time! There were plenty of signs that Kai was hurting, but we never noticed! Actually, we DID notice, but we just chose to ignore them, like that would make the problems just go away!!!"

The others looked at Max in shock. They had never heard him speak so angrily. Never seen him look so upset. Never thought he could be that...

right...

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Kai and Tala carefully made their way out of the lobby. They had planned to take the train to another city in Russia and get a flight from there to England. They had chosen England because they didn't think anyone would search for them there. Besides, it was one of the only European countries Kai could stand that didn't have a Majestic.

Johnny lived in Scotland, Enrique lived in Italy, Oliver lived in France, and Robert lived in Germany. England, surprisingly enough, didn't have any major bladers, and hopefully, no one would notice Kai and Tala.

Surprisingly enough, both boys were hardly ever noticed when they went out. It probably had to do with the fact they stuck to alleys and other places where people would either not notice them, or not care who they were.

Once the two made it out of the hotel, and to the train station, they bought their tickets and got aboard the train. Once aboard, they took seats in the only empty cabin. The train ride would take them almost a day.

Tala went to sleep the moment his head hit the pillow, but Kai was much too restless too sleep. He got out of bed wearing nothing but a pair of black boxers, and pulled out his journal.

He took a seat next to the window and gazed at the dark (it is night), but lovely scenery in front of him. He couldn't stop the thought that came unbidden to his mind,

"Can darkness really be so calming, so beautiful, so... right?"

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

"I— I'm sorry Max," Tyson said dejectedly, as he slumped to the floor, letting his back lean against the wall, "You're completely right. We did just sit back and act like nothing was wrong. We were all stupid, thinking that would work!"

Tyson last sentance was dark and self-blaming. Rei and Kenny exchanged glances, before Kenny spoke up, for once, shutting down Dizzi and just leaving her ion the table. This was something the four of them had to talk about.

"Listen guys, let's talk about this in the main room. We can all sit down and discuss this, even if it takes all night."

The others agreed with Kenny, and made their way to the main room.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Once in the main room, Rei and Tyson lay claim to the sofa, while Max and Kenny each took a separate armchair.

For a few moments, or what seemed to be an eternity of silence to the Bladebreakers, no one spoke, and they sat in pure silence.

Rei broke the silence with a quiet cough. As all eyes turned towards him, he gazed at each of his friends, before starting,

"We have to figure out what went wrong, before we can figure out how to make it right again."

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

GOB: Okay, the rest of this is going to be conversation, so it will be written as

Max- "blahblah"

Rei- "blahblah"

only for this part though!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Max- "I agree with you Rei. I mean, we all know Kai is hurting, but we don't really know what about. Maybe if we can get an idea, even if it's just the slimmest glimpse, of why Kai left."

Tyson- "I don't know guys. Kai never really showed any weakness, he just kept it to himself."

Kenny- "That may be more helpful than you think Tyson. He always kept it all inside. Don't you think that after keeping it all inside, for so, so long, Kai, and any other person, would just find it too much to bare?"

Max- "I think you're right. Kai is strong, that's obvious. But even he has to have a point where he just can't take it anymore, that he just has to get away from it all. Clear his head, and start over..."

Rei- "You're probably right. And we haven't been much help either..."

Tyson- "What do you mean Rei?"

Rei- "*sighs* What I mean Tyson, is that you have no idea how much work Kai did to get us to tournaments, training sessions, et cetera."

Max- "I'm sorry Rei, but I don't understand. What do you mean, how much work?"

Kenny- "You guys have no idea how much paperwork is involved with tournaments. There are over a hundred forms that have to be filled in, and that's just for one blader. For training sessions, you have to go to a lot of meetings to decide the schedules of when and for how long a certain team gets the training room. Trust me, it's a lot of stress."

Max- "But we never did any forms, or went to any meetings..."

Tyson- "But we still went to tournaments and got a lot of training time..."

Rei- "That's right guys, Kai did all the paperwork and went to all the meetings. I remember that when I found out and offered to help, he told me it was his responsibility as team captain to do this, and that it wasn't much so he could handle it. I never thought about it again... I had no idea how much paperwork he was doing, how much work he was doing to help us."

Max- "None of us did. But now that we know, what are we going to say to him, when we do find him?"

Kenny- "Guys, call me crazy, but I think that we shouldn't prepare a speech or anything like that."

Rei- "You're crazy."

Kenny- "No guys, I'm serious. If we really want Kai to come back to the team, we have to be totally truthful and sincere."

Max- "I'm with Kenny."

Tyson- "Yeah."

Rei- "So, we'll look for Kai first thing tomorrow morning!"

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

( Kai's Journal Entry!!! )

Sometimes, I truly hate being left alone to think. It's strange really, how completely different two people can be, yet can be more alike than you ever wanted to be.

I am nothing like my Grandfather... yet, it is so easy to see me becoming him.

I am just as quiet, solitary, calculating, and cold as he is. But I am not evil, I am not corrupted...

Not as of yet anyway.

But... I can hear him calling me...

~~~~~~~~ The darkness is consuming me,

~~~~~~~~ With all that negative energy,

~~~~~~~~ My light can't shine like it did before,

~~~~~~~~ I can't feel anything, is my heart sore?

~~~~~~~~~~ Does this mean that I am dead,

~~~~~~~~~~ Like this is the total end,

~~~~~~~~~~ Or maybe I am only dreaming,

~~~~~~~~~~ And nothing is for believing;

~~~~~~~~ I came for strength to fuel my soul,

~~~~~~~~ But now I feel like I'm not whole,

~~~~~~~~ To feel fear is to be weak,

~~~~~~~~ Or is it that, that I must seek;

~~~~~~~~~~ Maybe darkness has blinded me,

~~~~~~~~~~ So I will have to wait and see,

~~~~~~~~~~ Maybe nothing has gone wrong,

~~~~~~~~~~ My imagination is very strong;

~~~~~~~~ If darkness is consuming me,

~~~~~~~~ With all that negative energy,

~~~~~~~~ Will my light ever shine again?

~~~~~~~~ Or will I forever be lost in dark rain?

I can still feel the pull of Black Dranzer, drawing me in. He still calls out to me, and, though I do not know how, he still speaks to me, in my dreams, whenever I close my eyes, even if it is for merely a moment, there he is, calling for me, searching for me.

And a part of me wants to be near the black bitbeast. A part of me yearns to feel the dark warmth of Black Dranzer, while yet another part of me fears the dark one, wanting to do nothing more than to hide from his darkening gaze.

I don't know what I am thinking anymore. I have to keep concentrated, keep my barriers up, or else I will continue to be plagued by Black Dranzer.

I refuse to become another little puppet for my Grandfather. No matter what the cost, I will find a way to free myself from the shackles put upon me by those filled with treachery and hate.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

GOB: DONE DONE DONE!!! BUT WAIT! I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU ALL! ANOTHER POEM, DEDICATED TO JADE A.K.A. LYCHEE FAIRY, FOR ALL HER HELP AND SUPPORT!!! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU JADE!!!

~¦* Stranger *¦~

~^~^~^~^~^~You said I could do it

~^~^~^~^~^~You made me believe

~^~^~^~^~^~That making a difference

~^~^~^~^~^~Is what I'd achieve

~^~^~^~^~^~You've made me come far

~^~^~^~^~^~You've guided me 'til now

~^~^~^~^~^~How I'll go without you

~^~^~^~^~^~I can't imagine how

~^~^~^~^~^~You're letting me go

~^~^~^~^~^~For you think that you know

~^~^~^~^~^~That I'll be ready and standing

~^~^~^~^~^~With the world that's always changing

~^~^~^~^~^~You say the world is lost

~^~^~^~^~^~You tell me what is true

~^~^~^~^~^~You've meant a lot to me

~^~^~^~^~^~But tell me...

~^~^~^~^~^~Who are you?
