Star-Shimmered-Dragon: I feel so silly. I'm so sorry i haven't updated in a while. My school work was getting on top of me. I finished my exams, so smoother sailing for now. I'll post this, then get onto finishing it and more of my CSI story (sorry Samsam...) So, I'll let you keep reading and please, spare a thought in the review box. I love them - even flames.

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade whatsoever. If i did, i wouldn't be so...well, poor.
Chapter 13 – Hidden Justice

"Blades at the ready!"

A thud resounded in the room as the door swung open, forced by the effort of nineteen Beyblades, Driger, Dranzer and Dragoon at the front. Voltaire glared towards the group, but smiled at Kai.

"Ah, Kai, my grandson. How are-"

"Cut the crap, where's Shiri?" Kai demanded, talking over him.

"Shiri? I don't know a Shiri." Voltaire smiled, almost menacingly.

"I said to drop the BS! Where's Shiri?" Kai shouted at him. Voltaire scowled.

"You'll never find out through me!" He snapped, standing up quickly. Nineteen hands raised nineteen Beyblade launchers, aimed straight at Voltaire's chest.

"We'll do it, Gramps." Kai sneered. Voltaire moved from behind the desk, towards them, but a Beyblade slammed into the floor at his feet, causing him to jump back in fright.

"I won't miss next time!" Ray snarled, fists clenched around his smoking launcher.

"We all know the truth, Voltaire." Tyson said.

"The genetic experiments." Johnny added.

"The women who were killed by those artificial pregnancies." Max put in, gripping his launcher tighter.

"The electro-chips, implanted in the spines of animals and humans alike." Tala glared. "Including me."

"All of the deaths to cover it up." Lee growled.

"The political warfare!" Michael yelled.

"The pay-outs to the government, to keep it quiet." Kevin said.

"Torture, mutilation, deaths.." Kenny added, the only one with empty hands.

"A genocide that almost rivals the reign on Hitler, and the Third Reich." Robert sneered. "Just spread out so nobody noticed it."

"And, selling out your own family, your own grandchildren, for financial gain." Kai stepped closer, menacingly.

"How-how did you…" Voltaire stammered, his jaw dropping in shock.

"Oh, my cousin keeps very detailed diaries, old man." Kai smirked. "In her own way, she told us everything –even the big secret that can put you, not me, not Shiri, you into financial ruin."

"You wouldn't dare! You have nowhere else to go!" Voltaire boomed.

"Anywhere would be better than here, even the streets!" Kai snapped back. "Now tell us where Shiri is, and I might keep this from the media!"

"Never." Voltaire snarled, then suddenly spun and threw himself out of the open window. Kai ran over and leaned out, but he was smiling when he turned back, and closed the window.

"Well, at least we don't have to do it." He said.

"Are you all right?" Michael asked, putting his Beyblade away.

"I hated the bum anyway." Kai replied. "Now, let's find Shiri!"

"Search everything, for anything." Ray said, going to the desk. "Keys, maps, code words, anything may tell us where Shiri is."

Kai spun around and came over to Ray when he heard the other boy sniff, and he smiled gently.

"We'll find her, Ray. She's probably sitting wherever she is, waiting for you to show up."

Shiri's POV

"Oh, Ray!" I clutched the little box to my chest, right next to my heart. "Please find me!"

I know, so short! The next chappie is longer. And it's almost finished (sob). Thanks to Samsam-aka-Sam, Sokkazukofan, and I-Ain't-No-F'in-Angel. Your reviews were so nice. And a even bigger thanks to Viper-Vegeta, whose time with me is now very limited.VV, if you ever get the chance to read this, thank you so damning much! You're the best BETA i could have ever asked for!

Well, I'll post again, but please, review in the little pop-up window.

Cheers!
