Taiy-Chan: Before you start rambling on about how I should have updated earlier, I have a great excuse....Actually I don't...I'm really sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll make it up to you! Promise! I'm going to be just updating this story until it's done,k? Just to let you guys know, there will be no sequel to this story. This is the last of this series. Got it? Okay. Oh, and BTW, when the Spirit Book in this chapter introduces the four Sacred Spirits, the reason why I didn't put Mizu Benkai as a colour then the animal was because it would be purple turtle..which would wreck the mood.....

Sara: Taiy-Chan doesn't own Beyblade or any of it's characters or creations.

Chapter 6: Going Back

::He's a Sacred Spirit? What's that?:: Kai asked Dranzer.

::I think we'll find out soon, so let's go on.:: Dranzer answered before she started reading once again.

Kaen Seishou and his other three companions had protected their world from it breaking out in war. But that wasn't their real purpose. Every citizen of Tai knew that they were actually needed for saving them one day. They were part of something important, and they understood and respected that without anyone having to tell them.

The four Sacred Spirits were Kaen Seishou, the red phoenix, Raikou Sumiyaka, the white tiger, Uindo Haburi, the blue dragon, and Mizu Benkai, the metal turtle. They all signified a element, and all were the most powerful spirits that ever had lived. Kaen Sheishou represented fire, Raikou Sumiyaka was lightning, Undo Haburi was wind, and Mizu Benkai was water.

You may be wondering now, why didn't the other Sacred Spirits go with Kaen? That's because they weren't in Tai when he left. The other three Sacred Spirits had took on human forms and set off to investigate Earth before Kaen had. They had not heard back from any of them for centuries now.

Kaen had went back to Earth to find the most hideous planet he had ever seen. The air was so polluted, he was surprised the light from the sun could get through such filth. He tried to cope with it and went to find his comrades.

Kaen was horrified when he found them in different parts of the world, slowly fading away.The Earth's pollution had eaten away at their delicate souls that were not used to this environment. They were spread out, one in China, Japan and America. Kaen didn't have a cure for this, sickness I guess you could call it. The portal back to his own world was closed off for another ten years, and he knew his friends wouldn't survive that long.

But, miraculously, four humans came to help these spirits. They said that they had a solution, they said that they could seal each Spirit and pass them down until the world developed enough for their heirs to help them. It turned out that this was the same technique that had sealed away all of the previous Spirit Demons that had came before any of the Sacred Spirits had. Kaen refused to be taken prisoner by the disgusting race of humans, but Raikou, who had the ability to see someone's true nature, agreed.

"We have to put our trust in these humans, they have good hearts. Their intentions are only to help us. Kaen, we have to put our trust into them. We have to believe in these humans, just this once."

Kaen was outnumbered when the other Sacred Spirits agreed with the white tiger. He thought, and in the end, agreed. They would slowly fade away into spirits, just barely existing and would be called bit-beasts. But when the time came when they finally met their true masters, they could unleash their ultimate power that had been locked away for so long.

My time is nearly up. I hope with all my heart that I will remember my former life when I read this, as the bit-beast that I will turn into. For when I finally fade away, I will lose all of my memories of my life that I have lived and am living right now. Please....save our world..

The last lines were messy, and slanting off the straight line that the words had created. Kai slowly closed the book.

::So you're......Kaen Sheishou..: Kai said to Dranzer, still trying to process all of the information. Dranzer was quiet for a couple of minutes.

::I..remember now....All those years...:: she whispered.

Kai frowned.

::I've been meaning to ask you something about Kaen Sheishou...:: He said.

::What is it?::

::Uhh...Why is he a male and you're a female?:: Kai asked.

::Us bit-beasts don't have genders.:: Dranzer stated, as if it was obvious.

::You're a girl.:: Kai said.

::'He' is usually used for something that doesn't have a gender.::

::So, moving on. What do you think we should do now?::

::Duh! Tell the others!::

Kai jumped up and ran to the door. He found his friends in the kitchen, sitting around the table. He rushed over to them and dropped the book heavily on the table. Kai quickly started talking, before any of them could as questions.

"You guys won't believe-"

"Sorry for interrupting you Kai," Pauline said. Kai looked up at her and then everyone else. In his rush, he had failed to notice the seriousness and tension that was vibrating through the room. Kai swore it was so thick, he could take out a knife and cut the air. All his friends turned to Tyson, who Kai just noticed then, was standing, holding the phone.

"It's for you." he said, holding the phone out to Kai. "It's Tala," Tyson said the word like it was dirt. "Wants to talk to you, says it's 'urgent'."

Kai stared at him and slowly reached out for the phone. He put it to his ear.

"Hello?"

Right after Kai's voice was heard on the other line, Tala was talking.

"Kai, I know this is unexpected, but I needed to talk to you." he said quickly.

"Tala. It's okay, it's nice hearing from you again. I thought you had forgotten about me."

A light chuckle came from the other end.

"Missed you too, buddy. But this is not the time. I need you and your team to get over here ASAP."

Kai was surprised at the sudden request.

"Why?"

"Something's going down."

Kai instantly knew what his friend meant. Tala had promised him that he would keep Kai up with what's happening back in Moscow. The good things, yes, but also what Boris was up to. Even though Tala had quit working for Biovolt, it helped to live near the Abby.

"I had a feeling you'd say that. Look, one of our friends, Morgaine, was kidnapped, she has short auburn hair and glasses, with a really bad temper. Have you seen her?" Kai asked hopefully.

"Can't say that I've had. But they did bring someone in a couple days ago. And, whoever it was, they were putting up a pretty good fight. It might be your friend, but I can't promise you anything."

"Tala, I found this book-"

"Kai, we can catch up about everything once you get your ass over here!"

"Right. But-"

"Don't worry, I'll pay for your tickets-"

"You don't have to."

"Kai, I still have Boris's credit card, remember?"

"Ohh yeaah..."

"So I'll see you?"

"Once I convince my team to come."

"Ok then, see you in a few days."

"Bye Tala."

"Bye!"

Kai put the phone back on the receiver and turned to his friends. He had a lot of explaining to do.

"Just listen, and don't say anything." Kai said before anyone could utter a syllable. He took a deep breath and continued. "Tala is my friend. He has helped me, and our team more than you guys can ever imagine. I know your experiences with him aren't the best, but I'm asking you to understand. There is something going on in Moscow with Boris. It's something that has to do with our bit-beasts, but I'll explain that to you when we get over there. There's no time now. Tala also said that he saw Biovolt bring someone into the Abby, it might be Morgaine...He has invited over and he will pay for our tickets. Please consider.." Kai finished, trailing off.

The others were silent as they took this all in. Then, Ray grinned.

"Well, I'm willing to give him another chance. He did get you to say....10 sentences at once! Wow! That's a record!"

Kai forced a smile.

"I'll let that one slide this time." he said through clenched teeth, eyebrow twitching. The others laughed and the tension left the room.

"I'll guess we can give Tala another chance." Tyson said, grinning.

Kai breathed a sigh pf relief.

"Thanks." he muttered, then added louder, "We leave in the morning. Pack tonight. I don't know when we will be back."

Pauline shivered.

"That sounded kinda creepy." she said.

"We don't know what we will face when we get to Russia. You guys don't know what it's like in the Abby. There's always a chance of a very big fight." Sara said seriously. "And I'm not talking about Beyblading."

The others nodded. This will definitely not be a feild trip.

Kai looked at his friends.

"I can't tell you what is going to happen once we get to Moscow, but I do know that it will be very dangerous. I will not force all of you to come." Kai explained.

Max shook his head.

"We're all behind you, bud." he said, smiling. The others nodded. Kai sighed. They were way to loyal for their own good.

Pauline saw the concerned look on Kai's face and spoke up.

"You don't have to worry about us, Kai. We're big kids now." she had everyone's attention now. "And plus," she added. "I think I'm speaking for all of us when I say that I'm ready for another adventure!"

The others agreed with a chorus of 'Yeah!'s. Kai smiled. He couldn't have asked for better a better team.

That night, everyone went to bed early for a good night's sleep, because the next morning, they would have to get up at 6:00am to be able to eat, get to the airport(which should take an hour, but with Tyson's grandfather driving, it would probably take 30 minutes.)check in their bags and get through security by 10:00am.

But Kai didn't find comfort in dreams.

Kai looked around him. He was standing a long, dark corridor. He could hear water dripping slowly from the brick walls, adding that cold, wet feeling to the weariness in his bones. The corridor's ceiling was shaped like an arch, contributing to the creepy effect you usually get in nightmares. The hallways seemed to stretch on forever, in a never ending tunnel.

Kai started to walk, already getting sick of this place, this dream. But the further he walked, the further the end of the tunnel seemed. His footsteps echoed off the walls, almost sounding like a heartbeat. When Kai heard shouting, the sharp noise made him jump, his mind used to the continued beat of the water and the hollow sound of the corridor. Kai could see people up ahead, their silhouettes just visible through the dim light. He started running, desperate for some company in this dark place, their voices all the time slowly getting louder. Their shadows's gradually taking form, until Kai could make out the scene, playing like a movie in front of him.

Kai was horrified with what he saw.

The first thing he heard was the horrible sound of a gun being fired, the sickening sound of someone falling limp to the floor. Kai couldn't make out any the people, it was a blur to him, a mix of colours that didn't make sense. But then he saw himself, as crystal clear as a sunny, cloudless day.

He watched himself run over to the fallen body, fall heavily to his knees and pick up the limp figure and hug them close. Kai saw himself turn to the people around him, calling for help. Kai could now see other figures, standing behind him as he held the dead body. He was crying. Desperately trying to get them to help him. But they backed away. His cries became louder, tears streaking down his face. Crying, yelling, pleading for his friend's life.

Kai woke with a start, lying drenched with sweat in his bed. His breathing came out in short gasps, like he had just run a marathon. He sat up in bed and held his head in his hands.

"What an awful dream." he muttered, shaking his head. Something bad was going to happen in Russia, he knew it.

'Stop getting paranoid, Kai.' he told himself, but the feeling of dread wouldn't go away. Kai glanced at the clock. 5:59am. He better get everyone else up.

The Bladebreakers ate quickly and were soon off to the airport. The whole rush of everything made Kai forget about his dream, but it all came back when they were all in the car and going to the airport.

Kai knew the dream meant something, but it could just be the whole stress of things. For any matter, the dream really shook him up..almost as much as Grandpa Granger's driving did.

After a half an hour of speeding, running red lights, tight turns and curses, they were at the airport and saying good-bye to Tyson's grandfather.

They went through customs and security in good time and went to one of the airport's restaurants to get a snack before they had to leave. Once they were done, they had fifteen minutes until their plane was scheduled to take off.

"Flight 101 to Moscow, Russia now boarding business class. Please come with your tickets and passports ready. Thank you." the voice on the intercom said. The Bladebreakers looked up. It was nearly time to go.

A couple minutes later, the voice came on again.

"Flight 101 to Moscow, Russia econamy class now boarding rows 50 through 100. Please come with your tickets and passports ready, thank you."

The Bladebreakers looked at their tickets, they were in rows 22, 23 and 24.

"Flight 101 to Moscow, Russia economy class now boarding rows 20 through 50. Please come with your tickets and passports ready, thank you."

The Bladebreakers got up and approached the growing line in front of the flight attendance's desk. After getting their tickets and passports checked, they were boarding the plane.

"I hope we're able to find Morgaine." Sara whispered to Kai as they got on the plane. Kai nodded.

"I just hope we'll all make it back." he muttered.

Taiy-Chan: There ya go! Another chapter for Never Knew. I hope you've enjoyed it. Yes, we'll meet Tala in the next chap! YAY! Oh yeah, just to tell you, in case you didn't know, I've cut out the King of Bit-beasts from this story for a couple of reasons:

#1. It was really cheesy.

#2. After I got writing this story, things started to change, so now, he doesn't really fit in.

So, please read and review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I'm going to be concentrating on this story for a while, until I finish it, just to let you know.
