Heya guys wow that's a major lot of reviews for this last chapter!

LunaRavenCroft: cringe that's a pretty awful image of a baby Boris lol. Well I really like your suggestion about the training thing. I haven't used it in this chapter, but I think I will later on in the tournament. Thanks for that idea!

YoukoHieiLegolasGirl: I have to say Legolas and Pippin are my favourites

Beyblade-gal: I've decided that the story will finish at the end of the tournament… you'll see why when it comes to it. I won't say anymore… but there might be a sequel, it depends what you guys think.

Wind Archer: I checked every time you updated lol. You've update your one story like 6 times since I last updated! Btw anyone who reads this response check out Wind Archer's stories they're great!

Ms.SoUrPuSs: No! Please! Not the HAMMERBurger! hides under nearby table

I promise I won't kill off Kai or Cassie…

BloodyShadows: Lol I'll see what I can do…

Kimkizna: Thank you for reviewing

Diamond Core: Aww thank you, I appreciate that a lot. I try my best to keep all of the characters as they are in the shows, I'm glad you like that. Yeah sometimes people portray Tyson in a bad light, but I think he's a decent character, he may be cocky but he does have a good heart. Your idea wasn't silly! A lot of people said a similar thing should happen in the next chapter, so I do what my reviewers request! Enjoy!

Curiousgeorge: I'm gonna have the next chapter the start of the tournament but thank you for your suggestion. You'll have to wait and see how powerful Cassie has got… she still has her good old moonstones to help her.

Puppalupp: Yup I like you suggestion, a few people thought the same, so this is what the chapter will be. Ooo I started this story after your birthday, cool!

drooloverkai: You shall fund out about Boris' plan in this chapter, hope you like it.

BunnyHugz: You wish is my command

Kelly: Well things might not be as good for our dear couple for long…

Plushie Ray: Aww sorry about the cliffies. I can assure you this chapter does not end with on. (I think)

skyblue-tiger: Thank you for reviewing… aww I like your name, mainly because I like tigers!

Ilovecake2: Naughty, naughty for getting grounded lol. Well cockily is a word, in fact it's the adverb of cocky, so that answers your question lol. I haven't used your suggestion this time, but I think I will for a later chapter – so your ideas won't go to waste! I'll put the Kenny bitbeast on hold until BBA Revolution battle, which won't for a few chapters. Thank you for reviewing! By the way, have you written any stories? If so let me know and I'll read them!

Chosen-Of-Mana: hehe everyone loves Tala! I think he's cool. Hope you like this chapter!

Now then I had a lot of suggestions from the poll on chapter 31. I've chosen the option that most people recommended, which was a combination of B and C… so that is what this chapter will be about. I hope you all like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, I only own my OC's and their bitbeasts!

Chapter 32: Pathetic

Boris banged a large cane on the hard floor, sending an echo around the room. The four Demolition Boys stood to attention inside of their private training area.

"Again!" cried Boris

"But Boris we've been training for six hours straight now…"

"Are you questioning my decision Tala?"

"Err no sir, its just…" the red head looked at his captain.

"We're tired," stated Kai coolly

"Tired? TIRED! Champions do NOT get tired boy!"

All four of the Demolition Boys flinched at Boris' yells. Even Kai seemed a little intimidated by the Russian coach.

"If you know what's good for you, you will repeat your training exercise now!" yelled the man.

Kai clenched his fists.

"You can't push us like you did before. We're no use to you if we have no energy to battle!" replied Kai

Boris strode up to the captain; he bent down so that their faces were inches apart.

"Do NOT tell me what I can and can not do Hiwatari…"

"I just did,"

"What?" Boris' eyes narrowed at the young captain.

Tala, Spencer and Brian gasped at Kai's bluntness. However the young Hiwatari seemed unfazed.

"You heard what I said Boris…"

"Do not push me boy," warned the man

"Or what? You'll beat us again? Like you did when we were young? Is that how you make yourself feel big again?"

"SILENCE" yelled Boris as he hit Kai, throwing the boy across the floor.

Kai groaned in pain, before staggering to his feet.

"I am responsible for my team Boris… I will not let you push us until we collapse," breathed Kai

"You don't have a say in anything Kai… I am your coach, your boss… what I say, you do, got it?"

"I won't let you hurt my team mates… they need a rest… I need a rest…"

"Then you are all weak!" yelled Boris. "Especially you Kai, you've grown feeble since leaving the Abbey…"

Kai growled at the man. If there was one thing he hated more than Boris, it would be someone daring to call him weak. Kai was far from weak.

"Now then, all of you get back to practicing! Or would you prefer a good punishment for disobeying me?"

Tala, Spencer and Brian all looked at one another, and then looked to their captain. Kai sighed in defeat.

"Tala with me… Brian, try and work out a new strategy with Spencer," barked the Russian boy.

A smirk crept across Boris' face.

'Oh Kai, you haven't changed one bit… I know exactly how to make you do as I say…all it takes is a little persuasion and name calling,'

Tala and Kai launched their blades simultaneously. While Dranzer and Wolborg encircled one another, Tala took the opportunity to thank his captain.

"Thanks for trying to stand up for us Kai,"

"Hnn,"

"Are you ok?.. Boris always seems to take his anger out on you…"

"I'm fine," snapped Kai

Tala decided not to pursue to matter any further, even though it was clear Kai was not alright. A large purple bruise had formed on Kai's left cheek, marking the place where Boris had hit him. It stung like hell, but Kai wasn't going to give Boris the satisfaction of letting him know that.

"Dranzer Flame Sabre!"

"Wolborg attack!"

The two bitbeast collided, mixing fire and ice. A gust of steam engulfed the two bladers. Once it had subsided, the two found Dranzer still spinning strongly – Wolborg had fallen.

"You win again," smirked Tala. "You've certainly grown stronger Kai."

Boris snorted in disgust.

"That was a pathetic victory Kai," he spat

Kai glared at the repulsive man.

"But sir… Kai's won every match, against all of us!"

Boris ignored the red haired boy and began to walk threateningly towards the captain.

"You're not putting all your effort into these battles Kai… I demand you take these practice sessions seriously…"

"Sir you're not listening, Kai always wins… in fact he's never lost…"

"Silence Tala! I know weakness when I see it… Wouldn't you agree Kai?"

Spencer and Brian turned to the commotion. Kai looked away.

"Answer me boy!"

"Yes," murmured the boy

"Now then, why aren't you practicing to your full potential? You are capable of far more…"

"I'm battling as hard as I can." Replied Kai in a cold tone.

This tone obviously annoyed Boris, as he grabbed Kai's face with one hand forcing the boy to look at him.

"See I don't think you are Kai, I know for a fact that you can do far more damage," hissed Boris. "You're holding back for some reason… I'm sure you just need persuading to work harder…"

Boris sensed the shocked stares of the rest of the Demolition Boys. He let go of Kai roughly, the boy rubbed his sore face.

"The rest of you get back to training!" Barked Boris. "I need to deal with your captain."

Kai's team looked at him with apprehension. They knew what damage Boris could do when someone needed to be 'dealt' with. Spencer looked like he wanted to say something, but Kai shook his head.

"Don't" mouthed Kai

"Follow me please Kai." Ordered Boris, the tone was far too cheerful for its sinister meaning.

Reluctantly the captain followed his coach out of the training arena, taking a last glance at his concerned team mates. Kai himself feared what Boris had in store for him. What would Boris favour today? Beatings? Starvation? Injections? Or would he just shout at him? Kai had been through them all. The boy prepared himself for the worst as Boris led him into a small sound proof room.

"Strange" thought Kai.

The room was empty, save a desk with a computer on it. No form of torture could be seen, usually there were various implements of pain hanging from the wall. Usually the rooms would have been stained with blood, if they were used for such purposes… but not a drop could be seen.

"Maybe he's just going to shout at me this time," thought the boy

He didn't mind this prospect so much… it was easy enough to block out Boris' yells… he simply thought about other things, such as Cassie. Blocking out the stench of Boris' breath was another matter, but it was still doable.

Boris locked the door after had Kai entered. The man walked over to the computer and turned it on.

"Now Kai, I believe that you are not blading to your maximum ability… Seeing as you seem unwilling to co operate with me, I will try another tactic to get you to obey me… Come and take a look at this please."

Slowly Kai approached the monitor. To his horror he saw a 4 CCTV images, each taking up a quarter of the screen. The images showed the dressing rooms of the White Tigers, BBA Revolution, The All Stars and Team Twilight. He could see all of his friends preparing for upcoming battles.

"Clever isn't it?" smirked Boris.

Kai made no reply… his vision was fixed upon the girl he cared so much for, Cassie. Unfortunately for Kai, his coach noticed this trance.

"Pretty thing isn't she?" asked Boris as he touched her image on the screen, disrupting Kai's thoughts.

Immediately Kai glared at the evil man… he knew Boris was up to something.

"I hear she's a good blader too…" continued the coach.

Definitely up to something.

"… Very powerful… she would be a good addition to the Demolition Boys…"

"Don't even think about it Boris," growled Kai

"My, my… you're exceedingly protective of her aren't you?"

Kai refused to reply, after all, Boris would only use it against him.

"We trained you to not reveal your emotions at the Abbey Kai… you seem to be out of practice with that…"

No reply.

"That letter you sent her, was certainly emotional… very touching,"

Kai's eyes widened. Boris smirked at the startled boy.

"Yes, I know all about your warning to her and the rest of your pathetic friends… how noble of you Kai… did you seriously think I wouldn't find out?"

Kai's face saddened as he looked at his friends on the screen. His attempts at protecting them would probably have put them into even more danger. Kai mentally cursed to himself.

"Well Kai?"

"Well what?" replied the boy gruffly

"Did you think I was that stupid not to think you'd try something like this? You are far too predictable my dear boy."

A low growl escaped Kai's throat.

"Now I will get straight to the point… I need you to win this tournament Kai… if there is a hint, at any time, that you are not putting one hundred percent into your matches, it will be your little friends that suffer… not you."

"Leave them out of it," warned Kai.

"Or what? You'll make me sorry for my action? Don't be stupid child, there's no way you can win in this situation."

Boris turned to the screen and touched Cassie's image again.

"It would be such a shame if anything should happen to her… Don't you agree Kai?"

Anger was bubbling inside of Kai. He had to control himself not to try and kill the man there and then.

"If I win your stupid tournament… you are not to lay a finger on any of them, understand?" growled Kai through gritted teeth.

"I do… but here this boy, if I hear that you've tried to contact them in any way, my half of the bargain is off. Deal?"

Kai thought carefully before nodding in agreement.

"I knew you come to my understanding Kai… That was a very wise decision."

'Like I had a choice' thought Kai sarcastically.

He looked at the image Cassie, her eyes showed sadness… she seemed to be deep in thought about something as she held Patiere in her lap.

Kai wished he could stay forever just watching her, but he was already being dragged out of the room by Boris.

"Now back to training boy! I want your full attention this time… tell the others to train exceptionally hard. After all, we want to win now, don't we?"

Kai noticed the evil hint in Boris' smirk…

Cassie sat on one of the benches in Team Twilight's dressing room. The rest of her team, Daren, Mika and Tariq, were all practicing in their private training area. She was to join them shortly.

The girl sighed softly as she looked at her purple blade.

- Cassie's POV -

I can't believe Kai risked everything to tell me the truth about Russia. He could get into so much trouble if Boris finds out about the letter… I hope Kai's ok. Oh I wish he hadn't gone to Russia now… I told him something like this would happen, but he didn't listen!

Why didn't he listen?

Perhaps he wanted to leave me for a while… no, that can't be it… can it? No, if that were true, then why would he bother with the letter? Unless… unless the letters a lie, just to confuse me or distract me from the tournament… could that be it?

Maybe Boris is behind this… Maybe he's the one who told Kai to write the letter, could that be it? But Tyson spoke to Kai, he said he seemed generally upset about leaving me… That couldn't be fake could it?

Oh I'm so confused write now! I don't know what to think. Does Kai still love me?

If the letter is a lie… then it's doing the trick in distracting me from the tournament. I really need to go practice… but it's so hard to if I'm thinking about other things…

Right! Cassie pull yourself together! Kai said not to worry about him, so I won't. I'll focus on the tournament, I owe that much to my team… what use is a captain if she's not completely committed to her team's best interests?

- Normal POV -

Cassie stood up and clenched her blade.

'Team Twilight will win this tournament… we'll show everyone, especially that Boris that heart is better than strength when it come to blading. You can't force victory.'

With that last thought, Cassie went to join her team to train. It would be their last practice before their first match tomorrow and the start of a very intense World Championships.

Now then, time for my confession. In the last chapter I said Boris had a plan, and a lot of you wanted to know what that was… well if I'm honest… I don't know lol. I put in the plan because I thought it would add suspense and it has. The only problem is I don't know what Boris is planning… I have a few ideas of what it could be… its sort of mentioned in this chapter, but its not quite what I was after. I think it will just have to develop as I write this story, but if you have any suggestion then please let me know ok? Just remember it has to stay within the tournament.

The next chapter will be the start of the championships ok? I hope you all liked this chapter. I'll update as soon as I write the next instalment. If you have any questions or ideas then let me know, thank you.

Please Review!
