Aku: Hai! Si! Oui! Yah! Other... yes's...

Chapter Seventeen: Dying
He poked at the clear glass that was blocking his hand from making contact with the body inside. "Hello Kai. I know you can't hear me... and I know you never will, but... I need to tell you something. You can't stay here. I can, but you don't belong here. You don't deserve this... you... you need to rest..." A few tears slipped down his cheeks from his hollow crimson eyes.
"Go home... find your wings, Kai..." The red ball fell from his hands, as he felt his body go weak, falling to the floor, crying.
###
Tyson grunted out of frustration, as all they seemed to do was go in circles. "Where exactly are we going?!"
Rei sighed for the umpteenth time, as he was sick of trying to be nice. "Shut the hell up, Tyson."
"Letting him get to you, Kon?"
"As if he's not getting to you." The neko-jin snorted, speaking to the wolf.
"What do you mean?"
Focusing on his clenched fists, Rei smirked, "I mean that. You look just about ready to go homicidal."
"Well maybe if that damn dragon would stop with the whining." Tala grunted, moving further ahead.
"You guys do realize I'm right behind you." Tyson mock glared at the others, as he trudged up the hill.
"I was ignoring that fact actually." The redhead muttered, his fists still clenched as a small chant was said through his head, consisting of a repetition of 'Do not kill him'.
"Jerk."
"Okay, enough children." The neko-jin now felt a headache forming and a sudden curiosity. "Tala, where are we headed to? You have yet to tell us."
"Not you too... I pity Kai for having to deal with you guys for all those years." Stretching his muscles out a bit, Tala began to tell his reasoning. "I felt like going this way."
Both Bladebreakers fell over, as they screamed, "Are you serious?!" in unison.
"No. Well, partially. While I was hacking into the old Biovolt files that were still left thanks to Ian, I came upon Kai's records. It wasn't much, but it did talk about the Wong Trial. That's where I found out about Seiichi and came upon a few interesting files about Voltaire's plans for Kai, which only certain places held all the requirements. Anyways, a few days after, Ian emailed me, explaining to me that Biovolt was re- established somewhere in Japan."
"Wouldn't that be a bit too obvious? I mean Voltaire has a mansion in Japan and the BBA are keeping a close eye on him." Rei pointed out, as he wondered what the older Hiwatari was planning.
"That's the problem. It's too obvious. Voltaire may not be the most realistic man, but he isn't dumb. The only thing I could come up with was convenience, but so many other factors come into play."
"The cons outweigh the pros..."
"Precisely."
"Maybe it's Ian's information."
"Never. His sources have never proven false."
"First time for everything."
"This is all we have."
"..."
"Trust me?" Tala smirked at the outside simple question, but the hidden complexity of two simple words.
"...for Kai's sake, fine."
"What the hell just happened?" Tyson blinked, as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Nothing of your concern. We're here anyways." Tala gestured to the large building that resembled a hall, yet held more of a science institute look.
"That's it?" Rei blinked, as it screamed 'performing illegal experiments'.
"Welcome to Biovolt." The dragon said.
"And if it's not."
"Welcome to the place that is not Biovolt."
"Very original." Rei sweatdropped, as Tala sighed.
"Let's just go."
"Alright." Tyson was about to step forward, until the redhead knocked him over to the ground. "What the-"
"Get down!" Tala hissed, as the three were sprawled on the ground, silent.
A red light shined overhead, small yet still visible. "What was that?"
"Detector."
"Damn, it's like a prison." The bluenette commented, as he brushed himself off.
"It's Biovolt. Might as well be." The wolf reminded him.
"We know one thing. It's got some of the top security systems." Voices were heard in the distance and slowly coming closer. As they passed, unaware of the three bladers, Rei let out a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding. "And it's heavily guarded."
"Sounds like fun." Tala muttered.
"Any suggestions?" The neko-jin asked, looking between the other two.
"Why don't we just go through the ventilation?" Tyson asked. "Like in the movies."
"This isn't exactly like the movies, idiot. They'll expect that."
"Then what do you suppose?"
"Front door."
"That's suicide!" The dragon yelled, though keeping his voice hushed.
"Not if you do it right..."
###
"Oof!" A guard fell over, unconscious as a smirking neko-jin stood behind him.
"Not bad." The wolf commented.
"Thank you."
"But watch the pro." Tala stealthily crept behind the oblivious guard, as he scanned over the man for a moment, before finding a vital point and adding pressure, knocking the guard unconscious without a sound.
"I'm impressed." Rei said.
"Gah!! Get off of me!!" Both boys turned, and sweatdropped, as a certain dragon was hanging off a guard, who was trying to shake him off. Soon, Tyson was able to hit the guard, knocking him out. He stood up and grinned.
"Well, so much for not being heard." Tala sighed, as the three took the uniforms and possessions from the guards, ready to enter the building. "Once inside, we'll split up."
###
"Seems we have some intruders. What fun?" A tall man smirked as his eyes gleamed in malice.
"Don't let them ruin my plans." The one hidden, as the shadows clung to him as a master, crept slowly behind them, his movements elegant and glorious. "Don't touch the red-haired one. He may become useful."
"Yes, sir." The taller grunted, eyes glistening slightly in rebellion.
"Do not try. I am your superior." As quickly as a breath, he was beside the man, mouth close to his ear. "And I can smell your fear."
He walked off, as the artificial glow from the screens washed over the man's face, showing the obedience through fear. "Bring the two others. I'll deal with the last one." He turned and left the surveillance room.
A guard walked over to the red button, pushing it as an alarm went off, red lights blaring in the hallways, signaling for more guards to search for the intruders.
###
Tala turned a corner, running as more guards would be released by now. Steadying his breathing, he passed a few guards unnoticed, as he was well trained in stealth; the only time you'd ever catch the wolf thankful for Voltaire, then again, Voltaire was most likely behind all this in the first place. And where you found Voltaire, you surely would find his little puppet, Boris.
Quickly sneaking into a doorway as two guards came from both ends of the hallway, he shut the large metal door behind him, letting his heartbeat calm, until he opened his eyes. A click signaled the presence of another, as a dim light spilled into the dark room. Standing before the light was a familiar purple-haired man.
"Boris..." Tala seethed out, maintaining enough self-control not to lunge at the other, and strangle him.
"Ah, if it's not Tala, my faithful wolf." Boris smirked, letting his eyes roam over the redhead, as Tala felt dirtier than ever.
"Shut the fuck up." He didn't have time to play games.
"Always one to business, I see. So, what is it that brings you here?"
He was playing with him, toying with him like he held all the cards. And Tala thought on that realizing one thing: He did. "You know what I'm here for."
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to specify."
"Kai, you bastard! Where is he?!"
"No need to lose your temper now." The sadistic man said calmly, his lips still curved into that annoying smirk. "Kai is perfectly fine."
"Liar..."
"Depends on your perspective."
"Where is he?!" Tala demanded again, his anger and worry bringing out his impatience.
"I never disappoint an audience." Boris snapped his fingers, as a gray light filled the room, revealing the equipment around and experiments, along with two glass casings, one filled with a dark red and the other filled with blue, as both held a bluenette each.
"What... what the fuck did you do?!" The wolf commanded, looking back and forth between the two kais.
"I played God." Boris merely replied, smirk in place, as his plan was finally coming his way. "I cloned Kai, made a perfect replica that I can use as I please. Because I am his father, his creator."
"You... fucking bastard... you can't just go around trying to clone whoever you want! You won't get away with this!!" The redhead screamed out, as he sprinted to the tube filled with a blue substance, hand hovering over the release button.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A smirk was still apparent on the man's face, his eyes glowing with victory.
"What do you mean? I release Kai and your plans are ruined!"
"Not according to my plans. Kai is already dead."
"What?! No!"
"Yes, my wolf, look at the boy." Tala slowly turned, eyes scanning the body before him, floating helplessly in the glass container. "This is the true Kai, the one born from a woman's womb. That Kai is dead..."
"What? How long?!" This wasn't reality. It couldn't be...
"For 14 years."
14 years... Kai's only 16... he died at 2? "Then-"
"The clone is the Kai you've known since the very beginning."
Boris strolled over to the other Kai swimming in the dark red liquid, as a black inky substance entered the container. "W-What are you doing?"
Streaming black haired blew against an invisible wind, hissing like snakes protecting their master, as his hollow eyes hungered for the one before him, his hand tracing against the glass in a caressing, loving way. The moon-kissed eyes followed the stranger's every step closer to the phoenix.
Turning to the wolf, he smiled, as he looked back to the phoenix. "He's flawed, no longer perfect. He's reached his expiration."
"You're gonna kill him?!"
"Of course. All this time, he's been slowly dying. After, we'll make another clone, and the phoenix shall be reborn." The hollow eyes turned to Tala, a soft smile on his blood red lips. "Kai will be reborn again."
A hypnotic laugh escaped his lips like a feather falling gracefully only to be swept by the wind, his lips curved gently into a smile. "Reborn without the memories of any of you of course. As vulnerable and new, I will not lose my firebird again."
"Seiichi..." All eyes turned to the doorway; crystal irises staring with wide eyes surrounded by a golden haze of blonde hair, as in the depths of those eyes laid a pained adoration, slowly buried in the truth of it all. "Seiichi... it can't be..."
Seiichi smiled, running a hand through his black hair. "Yasashiku, it's been such a long time."

To Be Continued...
Aku: Wow... tired x.x Okay, I wrote that quicker than I thought. And if you ask where Max is... I have no idea... [sweatdrops]
Max: Don't I feel special... -.-
Shiku: Hey, I made an appearance again!!
Tala: Please review or Aku will never get this fic done.
:::::::::
RECAP: (Aku: A little summary for your convenience and my own)
In the past before Kai was released from the Abbey, he murdered Seiichi Wong, his boyfriend/lover. After the Worlds, Yasashiku – a rival of Kai from the Abbey who loved Seiichi – entered back into Kai's life, revealing to the Bladebreakers about Kai being a murderer. Tala found out as well, due to Ian's hacking skills into the old Biovolt's files that he managed to save. Also at this time, Max sank into a serious depression over his love for Tyson, as Seiichi took both him and Kai away to the new location of Biovolt in Japan. There, Max, Tala, and Yasashiku discover that the Kai they all knew was a clone of the actual Kai, who has been dead for 14 years. Also, a small child is connected to Seiichi and Kai, as he knows the event of Seiichi's death. Now Seiichi, along with Boris and Voltaire, plan to slowly kill the clone, and re-clone Kai into a new perfect weapon. The clone Kai is slowly dying, as questions are still unanswered.
