Mr. Dickenson's office…

"Mr. D'! You can't be serious!"

Tyson and Max hadn't seen any sign of Kai or Rei in the last 2 days, ever since Kenny had told them about Kai's quick stop back at the apartment. They were beyond worried and called the one and only director and CEO of the BBA, Mr. Dickenson. Unfortunately for them, Mr. D' had some news of his own.

"I'm sorry boys, but that's my final decision."

"What! Are you friggin' possessed or somethin'!"

"Ty, calm down. It'll be okay." Max cooed, placing his hands gently on the blunette's shoulders, massaging them ever so slightly. "I'm sure Mr. Dickenson has a good enough reason for making this decision…………Right?"

Mr. D' let out a heavy sigh, and pondered deeply to himself, 'If only they knew the stakes that have been set already….I can't do anything….but sit and watch….oh well, I've had some good years…..it was only a matter of time….When one makes a decision in life, no matter what it is or where it leads…one must never have any regrets……' (RG: I made that up all by myself…I felt so friggin smart!)

"Mr. Dickenson?"

"Huh? Oh yes, boys…. I….I must tell you something….something very important. I said what I meant. I want you all to participate in a massive tournament being held in London, England, even with the current situation happening-

"But Mr. Di-

"Let me finish Tyson! …..ah…now, sit and listen….because there's much more to this than meets the eye, lad. Now, from what you've told me, Kai and Rei were ambushed at a café down town by the docks, correct?"

"Yes Mr. Dickenson, that's what Kai said when he came busting into the flat (apartment). He had Dizzi and I trace him by locking onto Drigger. When I traced him, he was already on an island, somewhere opposite the northeast docks. As soon as Kai saw where he needed to go, he raced out the door without another word." Kenny explained.

"I see. Voltaire kept his word, then."

"WHAT?" All three of the boys shouted.

"Yes…Voltaire. After the first 'Worlds' he came up to me and pulled me to the side. He said he took great interest in Rei and no longer had any desire to claim Kai."

"Bu…bu…but if you knew….then….why….why didn't you tell us!"

"If I even mentioned it to you all, then each and every one of your loved ones would be dead by now."

There was a harsh silence in between the remaining team members of the Bladebreakers and the elderly man.

"Now I know that he was dead serious."

Max shivered at Mr. D's choice of words.

"It may be too late. All I know, is that Voltaire wouldn't waste a second once he got his hands on Rei." He continued.

"You…you can't say that…..no!"

Tyson shot up out of his seat and slammed his fists down on the old man's desk. The latter said, was now standing, his back facing the boys, holding his hands behind him as well. He stood there looking out at the city, seeing as his office was an executive office with a large window taking up most of the wall. (RG: that seems to be the style with big wigs in this fic, huh?)

Right at the moment the phone rang. Mr. Dickenson turned around and pressed the speaker on.

"Hello?"

"……."

"May I ask who's speaking!"

"…..Tell your team, that if they don't participate in the upcoming tournament then….they can say farewell to their friend, Kai. Got it, Dickenson?"

"Ugh…..Well, it seems like I don't have a choice, do I? Alright, then it's settled. But hear me out Voltaire, hurt them…Kai or Rei….and expect consequences."

"I don't think you're in the position to tell me what's what, Dickenson. But in any case, there is one more thing to be discussed. I want you to invite the other teams who participated in the World Tournament, as well as the exhibition matches, to this tournament as well. I must say Dickenson, it would be not one of your smarter moves if you retaliate on these requests……just a bit of….friendly….advice. I will see you at the tournament, Dickenson." -click-

click- "Well, you heard him, boys."

"This can't be happening!"

"There's nothing we can do, Tyson."

"Yeah Ty, Kenny's right. All we can do is….what he says."

"No! Maxy….we can't….we just….can't…."

"Tyson….we have to think of Kai and Rei's safety first. And to achieve that right now…is to cooperate with Voltaire; no matter how much we don't want to."

"I can't believe….Rei and Kai…."

"Well boys, I suppose you should go prepare yourselves for the worst and train as best you can while I call your mother, Max. As well as the other teams."

"Wait….hahaha….."

"Tyson? What…what are you laughing at?" the blonde was already worried about his koi with how distraught he was with the whole situation, and now he was laughing.

"I just thought of something!"

"Uh-oh…"

"Oh hush up Dizzi! Anyway, listen! The White Tigers! When they find out what's happened to Rei, they're gonna flip out! Think about it. Remember how angry and upset they were in Russia when Bryan beat the crap outta Rei? Weeeeeell? Hehe….when Lee finds out….Voltaire is gonna wish he never even looked at Rei! HA! This is sooo perfect!"

"Yeah! You're right, Tyson! Lee will rip'em to shreds! And then….just think about when Mariah gets her hands on'em!" Now Max was excited, and happy that Tyson has found a thread of hope for this turn of events.

With Kai…(finally!)

Two men came to the door of the cell of which containing a very pissed off Russian.

"Get up!" One of the men shouted into the room.

In the farthest corner of the cell, sat Kai. He was leaning up against the wall, dried tears staining his face, streaking the blue paint down his cheeks. He had been in that position for 3 days, had only slept a few hours out of exhaustion, and hadn't eaten anything since the….café. He slumber was a dreamless state, only occurring when his body needed rest. He shifted his head to see who was there.

"I said get up!"

"Make me…" He had been through enough already; he didn't need some puppet for his maniac grandfather telling him what to do.

"What did you say?"

"I don't think I stuttered, but maybe you're stupidity has an effect on your hearing as well as your intelligence." (RG: oooooh, buuuurn!)

"Insolence! Lord Voltaire will hear of this, boy!"

"Really? Well, since you're going up there anyway, could you tell my loving grandfather that I wouldn't mind if he brought his fat ass down here to handle me on his own, unless….he's too afraid to come face to face with me. And bring me some Vodka while your at it, will you?"

"Why you? I have half a mind to-

"Oh I don't think it's healthy to lie to yourself like that. I'd be surprised if you had ¼ a mind let alone ½ a mind."

"I oughta'-

"Enough." This command coming from quite a familiar voice.

"Wha- Oh! It's you…shouldn't you be in training right now?"

"Silence. Leave us." Said a dark figure opposite the wall of the door, so not to be seen. It was darker down that way, and all the guards could see was a shady silhouette.

"Oh. Uh….Of course….just call if you need-

"Why are you still here? Did I not say for you to leave?"

With that, the two guards looked at each other, began to walk away, and turned the corner.

Kai was confused now. 'Who were they talking to? Why did they sound so scared? I could hardly hear who ever it was.'

"Who's there! Show yourself!"

The figure stepped up around the corner and stood outside the bars, arms crossed, but unfortunately, it was still too dark and one could only make out a shadowed mass of a silhouette. Suddenly, the slim figure opened its eyes, only to show bright, glowing red slits.

Kai saw this and gasped. 'Who….no….it's……it's…-
