-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well? Have you done what I've requested Adrian?" A deep voice asked.

A bulky man entered the room and bowed before a dark figure. "Yes Master Killian. I have located the BladeBreakers."

Killian placed his elbows on his desk and rested his chin on the back of his hands, waiting to hear the information.

"Tyson and the small one have no serious injuries. The girl has a broken arm, and their leader is suffering from a gunshot wound to his stomach and has developed an infection."

"Hmmm....interesting." Killian leaned back in his chair and placed a finger to his temple. "It seems those two morons accomplished more than I thought....where are they heading?"

"They are approaching sector C sir." Adrian added.

Killian chuckled. "Wonderful. Why don't we play a game with them?"

"Sir?"

"Once they reach the next sector, why don't you take your 'team' and separate them. Try and capture one of them, and return to me." Killian spun around in his chair.

"As you wish..." Adrian smirked and headed out the room.

Kai opened his eyes slightly and yawned. The sky was dark but glowed with hints of yellows, oranges and pinks, a sign of the approaching sun.

He heard a slight moan and looked down to his right, seeing a young brunette, sleeping comfortable against his chest. Her left arm was draped around his leg, causing him to blush.

Being careful not to awake her, the blue haired teen unraveled himself and stood up. He laid Hilary down on the ground carefully, placing his duffel bag under her head. She shifted in her sleep, but didn't awake.

Kai let out a soft sigh and pulled the blanket up to her shoulders.

He smiled to himself as he brushed a stray lock of hair away from her eyes. With that, he grabbed his shirt, pulled it over his head and began to walk into the forest.

"Mmmmm...." Hilary moaned and smiled. She opened her eyes to see the sun rising over the tops of the trees. She sat up and stretched, yawning loudly.

"Huh? Kai?" The brunette looked around for the blue haired teen, but he had disappeared.

"Hey! Wake up guys!" Hilary exclaimed at her two sleeping friends.

"Ugh....can't a guy get some sleep around here?" Tyson complained as he awoke.

Kenny groaned and sat up. "What's wrong Hilary?"

"Kai's gone!" Her voice was anxious.

"I'm sure he just went for a walk. He'll be back." Kenny replied, standing up and folding up his blanket.

Suddenly, there was a snap from behind them. The teens spun around to see a bush rattle. Another bush to their side rustled as well, startling the teens even more.

"Kkkai?" Kenny asked the bush, but no one replied.

"Ha ha very funny Kai, now stop fooling around!" Tyson said.

"What's funny?" A deep voice asked behind the teens, causing them to scream and jump.

"Kai!" Hilary exclaimed as the captain walked out from behind a tree.

"Sssssomething's in the bushes." Kenny stammered, pointing behind them.

Everyone stayed quiet for a moment, waiting to hear the bush rattle again, but nothing happened.

Kai sighed and picked up his bag along with Hilary's. "Come on. There's a building not far from here. Maybe we can get some help there."

"Really?!" Tyson exclaimed.

"No....I was kidding." Kai replied sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"I didn't think you could kid." Tyson squinted his eyes at his captain.

"Shut up and move!" Kai threw the dragon master's duffel bag at him with incredible force, nearly sending him to the ground.

Hilary giggled as she began to pick up their blankets and what remained of their supplies.

"Are we there yet?" Tyson moaned.

The team had been walking for about 20 minutes, and Tyson, like always, was getting impatient, and hungry.

Kai didn't bother to reply to the immature teen. He just kept on walking up the hill.

Soon, the group came to a wide river, and on the other side, in the distance, a large building stood at the base of a small mountain.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed.

"What do you think a place like that is doing here?" Hilary asked.

"I don't know, but I hope it has a phone!" Kenny replied.

"Just one problem....Captain Serious led us to a river. How are we gonna get across it?" Tyson demanded, glaring at Kai.

The slate haired teen sighed deeply before returning the dragon master's glare with a more threatening one, causing the younger teen to look away with a frown on his face.

"Kai always wins with staring contests, huh?" Hilary giggled.

"There's a bridge down river. It's close." Kai began walking with the current of the water.

"Augh..." Tyson moaned.

"Would you quit your complaining Tyson?!" Hilary asked, getting extremely annoyed.

"Let him complain Hil....he'll just be training while everyone else has fun at the beach." Kai said.

With that, Tyson shut up.

"Hey! There's the bridge!" Kenny suddenly exclaimed, pointing to an old wooden bridge.

It was worn down, and a few slats were missing, but other than that, it looked pretty sturdy.

Hilary stopped in her tracks, hearing something in the distance.

"What's wrong Hilary?" Tyson asked.

"D...did you guys hear that?" Hilary looked around, her eyes full of fright.

"Hear wha....." Kenny started to ask, but suddenly, he heard what the brunette was talking about.

It was a dark howling from an animal, hidden within the forest.

"What's the problem?" Kai's deep voice called as he walked back to the stalled group.

"There's a wolf out there!" Tyson exclaimed, only to be hushed by Hilary and Kenny.

"That's impossible. Wolf's only come out at night." Kai turned and headed back over to the bridge, but stopped as he heard the howling.

Everyone gasped. The last howl was much closer than before.

The captain looked into the forest, and was greeted with a pair of glowing eyes. He cursed.

"Run!"

With that, the team burst off toward the bridge. There was a loud growl behind them, as three large grey wolves jumped out from the bushes and began to chase them.

"Oh my God oh my God oh my God!!!!!" Kenny exclaimed.

"Hurry!" Kai had made it to the bridge, and was motioning for the team to cross it before him.

"Now I know why Kai has us run all those miles everyday!" Tyson huffed as he ran onto the bridge, followed by Kenny and Hilary.

"Ahhh!" Kenny screamed as his foot fell through a rotten piece of wood.

Kai moved in front of Hilary and grabbed the back of his shirt just before he hit the water, rushing by below them.

"Move it!" The eldest teen yelled at Tyson.

The navy haired teen suddenly skidded to a halt as he stepped onto the ground on the opposite side of the river.

"What gives Tyson!" Hilary demanded as she ran into Kai's back.

The blue haired teen looked over his team to see a large, bulky man standing in front of Tyson, preventing him from getting off the old bridge.

He had a dark tan, and long white hair, tied behind his shoulders in a ponytail. He had a black tanktop, which seemed almost too small for him, since it failed to cover his strong abs. He also had on a pair of semi baggy leather pants, with black shin high boots.

Kai growled at the man, who immediately began to stare at him. "Who the heck are you?!"

The man chuckled. "My name is Adrian. I see you've met my friends." He motioned to the other side of the river.

The BladeBreakers all looked behind them to see the three wolves, slowly making their way across the bridge after them.

Kai cursed and moved in front of Hilary, protecting his team from the wild animals.

"What do you want?!" Tyson demanded over the growl of the wolves.

Adrian chuckled and whistled loudly, signally 3 more wolves to appear behind him.

"Ahhh!" Kenny screamed.

Kai stomped his foot on the wood as a wolf got too close to him. It snapped at him, but didn't attack.

With another loud growl, a wolf jumped over Tyson's head and landed in between Kenny and Hilary.

Kenny screamed and jumped behind Tyson while Hilary crashed into Kai. The blue haired teen held her close, protecting her from the wild animals. She began to quiver slightly.

"Shhh....don't be scared...they can sense it." Kai whispered gently in her ear.

The wolf forced them away further back on the bridge.

"Kai! Hilary!" Tyson called out, but the wolf quickly turned it's attention to them, snarling loudly.

Adrian picked the two younger teens up by the back of their shirts and took a few steps back.

"Let us down!" Tyson demanded, struggling in the strong man's grip.

Kai growled and took a step back over, but the wolf snapped at his ankle.

Adrian took out a small device and flipped a switch. "I'll see you two later."

With that, the wolves departed, leaving Kai and Hilary slightly confused.

Suddenly, the bridge exploded at one end. The old wood broke up and Hilary and Kai spilled over into the rushing current.

"Oh no!" Kenny exclaimed.

"You monster!" Tyson kicked at the man, but it didn't have any effect. The man, along with his wolves disappeared into the shadows of the forest, carrying the two teens with him.

Hilary struggled in the water, unable to swim properly with her broken arm. She couldn't see what was happening around her and the water rushed up into her face.

Suddenly, she felt a strong arm around her, holding her above the water.

"Are you okay?!" Kai yelled over the rush of the water as he began to swim over to the river's bank.

Hilary coughed but managed to nod.

"Oh no..." She heard Kai gasp.

The current was increasing quickly, and Kai's attempt to make it to dry land was failing.

Hilary looked to her side to see a large rock.

"Kai!" She screamed.

The older teen turned in the water and cursed.

"Waterfall!" They both screamed.

Both of the teen's began struggling to get out of the water, but to no avail. Hilary screamed as they were about to go over the edge.

"Grab onto me!"

Kai had grabbed hold of the rock, just as she reached out to grab any part she could. She managed to hold onto the strap of her bag, which was still around Kai's shoulder, along with his own bag. The strap slid over his shoulder and across his neck.

The blue haired teen let out a throaty gasp as the strap began to choke him.

"Oh no! Kai!"

"Don't let go!"

Kai's grip was slowly deteriorating. Hilary let out a short scream as her body jerked further down.

"We're gonna die!" Hilary repeated to herself.

"Would you stop it! We aren't going to die!" Kai yelled over the roar of the waterfall. He grunted as one of his hands lost it's grip on the slick rock. He cursed loudly and his other hand slipped.

Both the teens screamed as they fell through the air, and landed in the water below with a loud splash.
