I think this is gonna be the shortest chapter and story I've ever written. No this isn't the last chapter, but it is the shortest.

!-Chapter Six-! Sweet Escape

Lily and Kai looked around at their next task in this weird obstacle course. The room was short, ten feet in front of them was another wall, no door in sight. The doorway behind them was closed by a metal panel that slid in from the wall. There was a faint whirring sound as the door locked. The wall they were facing was covered in slots, the right size for a beyblade to be shot out of it. The air was filled with the maniacal hum of electronics and things, probably the industrial tops themselves, spinning.

If either of them had blinked, they would have missed it. All of the hundred or so slots spat out a beyblade that was going slightly slower then a gunshot. Both teens had jumped forwards and ducked under the lowest shooting point before it had happened, when the ominous feeling in the air had peaked. Thus they were able to dodge all the heavy duty spinning tops. They launched their own, in a minute all the enemy tops were down.

"Seems they don't really want us to escape..." Lily paused thoughtfully, "or they were expecting us to do that."

The door opened. It seemed to reveal the empty hallway reluctantly. Both spent an excess moment to pick up their tops and reload the launchers.

They ran out of the room and back into the hallway. During their absence, the water had started to crawl up the hallway; they could see the glimmer of the water halfway down the hallway. The stopped, nodded and ran up the steep slope looking for any more exits. The first they found was after a ninety-degree twist that had narrowed the hallway down considerably. It was the only way to continue so they stepped almost casually into the room that followed. The doorway closed behind them.

They looked around the room, there was one way out and a large device in the center of the room. Once the door behind them locked the device pulsed menacingly. The air in the room heated up to nearly ninety degrees Fahrenheit. It got extremely uncomfortable in that room extremely quickly

Lily grumbled at the device and launched her blade. It landed in front of the device. "Dalila, quick wing attack and kill that thing."

A light shone from the white beyblade and attacked the machine. When the light receded, the machine was a twisted piece metal that was smoldering. The room was still warm as it began to cool down. Both doors opened. Lily froze as she reloaded her beyblade.

"Why didn't I think of that sooner? We could be out of here by now!"

"Oh well. Let's just go."

They ran forwards towards the door and noticed something, halfway across the next room there was a platform raised fifteen feet into the air. Lily stopped short seeing the new problem, "I can't jump that high."

Kai didn't respond but made leap onto the platform, barely clearing the edge and landing on top of it, "There's nothing up here except a generator." Kai was about to jump back down but then he noticed something. A wire that led from the generator into the wall. It seemed strange that it went into the floor when all the other wires went out the back wall.

"Dranzer, what do you think that is?"

The phoenix took a while before answering, 'That leads to the first room you were in. That is electrocuting the door and the water.'

"I'm not asking how you knew that." Kai cut off the mental communication and launched Dranzer. It took the blade nearly two minutes to cut the heavily insulated wire.

Down below Lily watched as the water crept into the room and flooded up an inch. She moved around in the water as it rose slowly.

"Uh...Kai?" She asked the other captain above her, who was too absorbed in getting the wire cut that he didn't hear her. "Crap, not good." Suddenly there was an explosion from above where Kai was.

The wire snapped away after it was cut in two and Kai outstretched his hand to catch his blade. Then the generator exploded.

"Kai?" Lily looked up at the platform cursing her inability to jump up there.

In answer to her question Kai leapt down onto the floor. The three inches of water splashed everywhere as he landed. "The water should be safe now."

"Good. Hey, the water stopped rising." She said looking at the water. She reached down a hand and touched it, it was the same as touching something and getting a static shock as the electricity was grounded due to some device somewhere in the building. They ran back through the rooms they had come through and looked down the hallway. The water might be safe, but the only rooms they knew of were totally filled with water. There was a problem with air now.

Not having much of a choice they proceeded back down the hallway and backtracked. They took a deep breath and dived under the water when they could no longer walk and opened their eyes, barely able to see a thing. They swam and looked into the room that had several beyblades drifting in the water. There was the murky outline of a door in the water now. They swam in and through the second door that had opened up. Soon they were at the surface of the water.

They let out the breath they had been holding and swam forwards as a set of lights turned on. The climbed drenched onto solid cement and stood, having a little trouble moving because of the water.

The pulled their blades out of their pockets and reloaded their launchers.

Meanwhile in a room very far from the warehouse someone watched their motions through many cameras embedded into the walls. Actually, it was two people. Zylo and the person in charge of everything. Zylo spoke up first.

"It seems they made it through faster then we expected, sir."

"Yes, so it would seem. I'm not surprised though. Kai is a bright boy and so is that girl. They are worth our time. Let's start making ready for their next visit to Russia."

"Yes, sir."

Kai and Lily found no further obstacles as they walked forward and found a narrow winding corridor. With little other choice they walked forwards through the corridor as it wound down and on and on for hours. As they sat down to take a break for a minute and rest Lily looked at her watch that hadn't been damaged by the water. "Damn, its nearly time for school to let out."

Kai nodded and stood, "Let's move."

"Yeah." They ran through the corridor trying to make it through before daylight ended. Soon they came towards more water and Lily groaned. "Not again."

Kai shrugged and they took a deep breath again and swam forwards, taking breaks for air as small patches in the ceiling came up for them to breath through. The corridor had stopped going down and had leveled out to make their path much easier.

In another hour they made it to a door. They paused squinted at it, pushed it and then Lily in impatience kicked it. The door flew open and revealed that they were now in the local lake. They kicked off of the bottom of the corridor and swam upwards breaking the surface of the lake just in time because they couldn't hold their breath any more. They tiredly swam towards the shore of the large lake and crawled up towards a nearby line of trees and collapsed against them.

The sun was beginning to set as Aru school let out. The group met at the front gates a few minutes later. Everyone looked around for Kai and Lily.

"Where are they?" Was basically what they all asked at once.

"Someone needs to tell Mr. D about this." Kenny said worriedly.

"We'll go." Lee offered and a minute later the team ran off. They weren't to concerned about Kai or Lily, but something had to be done. Rei joined them along with Salima.

"The rest of us should split up and look for them."

"Yeah."

They split into groups, Mark and Lea went off by themselves. Kenny, Hillary and Tyson walked around with Daisy trailing with them. She wished she could have gotten her laptop, it might have been able to make finding them a lot easier. Max, Mariam, Ozuma and Joseph were another group.

After a half hour's march Mark and Lea came by the lake and found the two, soaked to the core and lightly sleeping. Two sets of eyes snapped open as the searchers came within a few yards. Lily and Kai stood up, leaning against the tree.

Lily smiled weakly at her friend, "Heya, Lea. Yo, Mark."

"What happened? Why are you guys so wet?" Lea glared as she walked forwards, her concern faded into a vague sense of anger.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

"Try me." Lea said challengingly to her best friend.

"Okay." It took about ten minutes to explain what had happened to the two. "And then that's when you found us."

"That explains you, but why were you there Kai?"

"I was told to go the beach for something important." He kept it short and walked off.
