Rain: Welcome.

Ray: Welcome?

Rain: Just trying to think of a new way to open the chapter. Anyway, Thanks for reviewing Genna! You made me feel a lot better. This chapter is dedicated to you!

Ray: Rain doesn't own beyblade. She does own T-Blade, the Angels, Emmeline Vance, and Triton. What's the big deal about Triton, anyway?

Rain: Ray, if I said anything, I'd set off the spoiler alarm. Sorry.

Tyson: On with the story!

Rain: How'd you get in here!

Tyson: Keys, how else?

Ray: You have an electronic security system and you're still using keys?

Rain: Eh heh . . .

"Speech"

/Kai's thoughts/


Light, for she really was Light now, not Ari, slowly exhaled as she once more reached for her brother. I wasn't that she couldn't feel him- far from it, actually, but his location was as big a mystery as ever.

Living up to your powers, Dark? She sent out and, as expected, got no response.

Elusive as a shadow. But why do you hide from me? I won't ever hurt you. You know that. Still no response. He had completely blocked her out, intentionally or unintentionally.

Sighing softly, she allowed herself to briefly turn her attention to someone a little more accessible.

Found anything Wiz?

Maybe.

Light fought the urge to groan. Why was she always like this? She was the only one of them who was always herself, instead of sliding into other personas when necessary (thus 'Fire' and 'Light') but somehow, instead of being easier to understand then the others, she was harder. And the goggles didn't help.

What do you mean, 'maybe'?

Anxious, aren't you.

. . . I will not dignify that with an answer.

You just did. And you know what I was talking about- he's calmed down.

The calm before the storm.

Probably. At any rate, this is definitely Biovault again, though why they'd make the same mistake twice . . .

Voltaire and Boris are in jail, so it's likely that whoever's taken her doesn't know what he's done.

True enough. At any rate, they can't have taken her far, she'll immunize herself to whatever they used soon enough, and when she wakes up . . . well, it won't be pretty.

They smirked. Then Light's expression turned thoughtful.

Who's in charge now, anyway?

Couldn't tell you. Now, there are five biovault facilities near by with the capabilities to hold Fire . . .


"Where are we going?" Max asked as they chased the two girls down yet another unrecognizable hall.

Chrys and Mary exchanged a quick glance, not saying anything.

They kept running, and it only took Max about three minutes before he asked again.

"Where are we going?"

Once again they ignored him, and if anything they ran even faster. Ray and Max, in contrast, seemed to be slowing down.

/And here I thought we were in pretty good shape./ Ray grumbled to himself, panting. Doing his best to ignore the way his legs were burning he sped up to reach Chrys.

"I don't suppose you guys could slow down a little?" he rasped.

She shook her head sharply. "No. No time."

Ray sighed.


Fire threw herself into her bonded's arms, clinging to him. He held her for a moment before pushing her away gently. Stroking her hair, he looked her strait in the eyes, and she understood and stepped away.

The truth was that while they were all dangerous, Dark was the worst. Dark was slow to anger, but when he was angry people started dying. He was slow to forgive- and he never forgot.

So when his eyes darkened like that, to a shade of blue so dark it was almost black, and he pushed her away, as though he was afraid to touch her for to long for fear of hurting, she knew better then to talk to him or try to touch him. Instead she just followed him quietly out of the room, hoping she would be able to rein in the damage before an innocent was harmed.


Rain: R&R please! Oh, and I no longer feel guilty for writing so many stories at once. I found an author who currently has over a hundred stories going at once.
