I'm so glad I finally know what's happening, anyway, my life is dead asI think this fic is coming to a close.

Have fun with this, I doubt I'll ever write anything this crazy.

Chapter 28

Ray studied the bags.

Kai loved his rucksack, it seemed to Ray that the whole world was inside the bag, and he sat on the bed and opened it, taking out its contents.

Extra clothes, spare parts, then something caught his eyes, a box made of wood, and it was painted on each side a phoenix and Russian words.

Ray opened it.

Kai felt something boil within him, something new, it wasn't the sickness, oh no, this was different, this was fire.

The blade in his cargo pants burned.

He watched as Leon squirmed, he watched as Leon screamed for help, for it to stop.

"The process will take sometime until it is completed", laughed Boris, a hungry glint in his eyes.

"Let him go", whispered Kai.

Tala was screaming for Leon to be free, he was screaming on his friend's behalf.

"Leon, don't forget, fight it, Leon!"

But Leon was too weak to fight back.

"KAI SAVE ME"

Kai snapped his head up and saw Leon scream, Kai shouted at Leon with all of his might for him to stay with him, to never disappear.

The fire within Kai scorched his soul, he then watched as Boris's face suddenly went pale.

"DRANZER"

The fire phoenix appeared; he swept around the room and attacked Boris and Voltaire, Tala's Wolborg got them free.

Tala watched in amazement as his friend looked as if he was on fire; Tala touched him, cold as ice.

"Kai? You Ok?"

Kai smiled meekly, "Save Leon".

Ray stared at the contents of the box.

Nothing, there was only dust, ashes to be more precise.

"What the-"

But he was stopped by Max rushing into the room, "Ray come quick, The Mansions on fire".

The heat was terrible as Azura ran towards the boys, she saw Kai on the ground, Tala next to him, and Leon on the ground some meters away, it appeared Boris and Voltaire where gone.

"Kai! Tala!"

Tala looked up, "Faye?"

She looked at him and bent over Kai, "He's freezing!"

"I know, get Leon we have to get out of here".

Tala picked up Kai blinked, his eyesight blurred.

Azura came back with Leon in her arms.

"This way", and she led the way to the door.

Panic.

Rika, Monica, Luc, Vince, Tyson, Max, Ray, Hilary, Conner, Mr D, Eve Riley and Scot all watched as the Hiwatari mansion crumbled.

Kai smiled, the fire seemed to leave, and he was so cold.

"Leon?" he whispered.

"Its ok Kai, we've got you", said a voice.

Kai looked up and saw a man staring at him.

Was He dead?

TBC…
