Tigercubsis: Thank you.

ShadowKeeper77: Thanks! I'm glad you think so!

-The Diner-

Everyone was at the dinner party. Grandpa Granger, Tyson, Kai, Max, Daichi, Hilary, Ray, Chris, Mitzie, and Max. There was also an elderly woman who had short curly hair which was white. She had a sky blue shirt and a white dress. She had a happy look on her face. You could tell she was a kind old woman just by looking at her. Everyone was watching Tyson eat his third helping of dinner.

"Yo, Tyson, slow down on the chow, dude." Gramps said

"Yeah, Tyson, its rude to eat all of some elses' food." Hilary added

"Oh, no worries. We've got plenty." Grannie said, "The boy has an...er...healthy appitite."

"Yeah...healthy." Hilary said

"I thought the little dud would have outgrown that by now." Gramps said

"Oh, are we talking about our grandchildren when they were little?" Grannie asked

"NO!" Chris and Tyson shouted

"Oh, when Chris was a little baby he had the cutest little..." Chris put his hand over Grannie's mouth, his face as red as a beet.

"No talking about my cute little anything!" Chris said

"But you did have the cutest little..."

"GRANNIE!" Chris shouted

"Well now, if your embarrassed about the birthmark on you..."
"Lets change the subject!" Chris said, frantically. "So...anyone seen any good movies?"

"Oh, I saw this movie! It was about these fish! It was SOOOO COOL!" Max said

"I don't go to the movies much." Ray said

"I saw this move about these kids who were playing with some spiny things." Tyson said, "I forgot about most of it, though."

"Lets play a game." Grannie said, smiling, then her smile turned evil, "Lets play spin the bottle."

"We could, or we could play something else. Like not that." Chris said

"Okay, lets play hide'n'seek!" Grannie said. Everyone sweatdropped, "Oh, or lets go bungee jumping. Or sky diving! I haven't gone sky diving in a while."

"Or we can do something safe." Chris said, sweatdroping

"Your no fun!" Grannie griped

"Lets watch a movie." Mitzie said, calmly, "Something scary."

"I'm game." Chris and Ray said

"Yeah!" Max and Tyson said

"Hn." Kai responded

"Sure." Grannie and Gramps

"I-I d-dd-don't know..." Kenny and Hilary stuttered

"Lets watch this one." Mitzie said, grabbinb a dvd, "Its called The Day the World Ended, uncut version."

They were watching the movie. Grannie and Gramps were watching, like they were in a trance. Kai and Mitzie looked boared, Chris, Ray, and Tyson watched with interest. Max had a scared look on his face, and Kenny was behind a pillow, and Hilary was latched to Tyson's arm. Daichi was asleep.

"That was so COOL!" Tyson said, rubbing his lifeless arm, "That was better than the version they showed in the movies."

"I-I-I th-th-think I g-gg-g-gonna h-h-h-have a aaa nightmare." Kenny stuttered

"That was okay." Mitzie said

"Are you kiddung? That movie was really good!" Chris said

"I think it was too scary!" Hilary said, "What do you think, Kai?"

"Hn" was Kai's reply

"Thats Kai for I was scared outta my pants." Tyson said, Kai glared at him.

"Well, homies, it time go head back to the crib." Gramps said, and got into his SUV

"Bye." They said, and got in the car.

-In the car-

"Man!" Tyson said, "That food was GREAT!"

"Yeah, T-dawg, it was of the chain."

"I particuarly enjoyed the homemade noodle. I wonder who made them." Kenny said

"I don't know, but I've got to get the recipe." Tyson said

And so went the conversation on the way home. As they pulled up, and everyone got out of the car, Kai went his own way. He was going for his nightly walk. The others went inside the house, while Kenny and Hilary went home. Ray and Max carried Daichi in to his bed. Before long everyone was off to bed.

-With Kai-

Kai was in the middle of the wooded area of the park. He was sitting on a bench. He was thinking about something he recently remembered. The memory, though old, was fresh in his mind.

-Flashback-

A small version of Kai was sitting in a darkened corner of a dim room. He was cover in fresh cuts, bruises, and various other wounds. Suddenly the door opens, reveiling a smirking Boris, holding a small boy by the colar of his shirt. Boris throws the boy into the room/cell. He then said something in russian, slammed the door, and walked away. The small boy looks at Kai, with innocent, golden amber, eyes filled with fear, and asks, "What did he say?"

"He said, you are my new room mate. And you were chosen to be his next cyborg experiment."

"Experiment!" The boy shouted

-End Flashback-

Kai was jolted from his thoughts when a figure landed in front of him. He couldn't see but the figure of a person. The figure did seen familiar, though. The fugure stood up and started walking towards Kai. Kai got defensive. He couldn't place who the person was, until the person opened their eyes, they were a bright shade of near gold, amber.

"Its been along time, hasn't it, Kai?" said the person.

"I suppose it has." Kai said, smirking.

"Almost ten years."

"I thought you were dead." Kai said

"Nice to see you have so much faith in your old roomie."

"You still have those implants?"

"...yeah, I can't get them taken out. They are too integrated into my system. So its keep them, or loose my legs."

"Nice choice." Kai said, sarcastically.

"Yeah, but ya learn to live. So, how have you been? I see you made friends."

"Yeah, but don't tell them." Kai said

"Heh, your going soft. Its about time you start to open up."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Kai asked, irritated

"You should live for the future. Kai, the past is the past. You have some really good friends behind you now. Don't lose them, because your afraid to open up." Kai looked down.

"I was raised to be a weapon. How can one change from that?" Kai asked

"Kai, I was made into a weapon. I can't change that. But you, you can choose you own destiny, away from the Abby, and everything Boris. But if you dwindle in the past, the future will pass you by."

"Your right, but..."

"I know. When the time comes, you will be ready to move on. Just remember, your friends will always be behind you." The person jumped up into the sky, then dissapeared. Kai smirked, and headed back to the dojo.

End chapter. Sorry if Kai was ooc at the ending, but I couldn't think of anything else. So...sorry. And this story will follow the same story line, but with different, and better, events.
