CHAPTER THREE: A Big Problem

He was swimming in a sea of darkness. There was nothing here besides him. It was silent, dark and lonely. Turning his head slowly he still couldn't see anything. He suddenly heard soft noises like whispering. The sounds became louder and he suddenly jerked awake. Looking around, Miguel noticed white sheets, white walls, white everything. He was in a hospital bed. He thought hard, trying to remember what happened. A sudden flash and all the memories came tumbling back. Overhearing the staff talking, the large masked man, the contact lenses, and...

"KAI!" Miguel tumbled out of the bed when the name broke free from his lips. Kai had been kidnapped! But by who? Why did they do that? Why was he on the stage in the first place? He had so many questions running through his head, he didn't even notice the door of his room opening to admit the doctor and all the other bladers. He only snapped back to reality when he heard Tyson's voice.

"Miguel? Dude, what are you doing on the floor?" The other bladers were shocked to see tears form in Miguel's eyes.

"What happened?" Was the softly voiced question. Claude decided to tell him straight.

"The night club was attacked. The owner, Kai, was kidnapped. Apparently a message had been sent before-hand that it was going to happen. It was a stalker who said he wanted to 'take care' of what is his. The leader kidnapped him while his cronies put everyone who tried to interfere out with sleep darts. They escaped via helicopter. It seems to have been well planned." Seeing the look on Miguel's face was enough to break their hearts. Tears flowed freely down his face. Everybody present knew about his feelings for the young slate-haired captain. Matilda stepped forward and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry Miguel. We'll get him back okay?" All he could do was nod his head. Miguel hardened his resolve. Kai wouldn't break down like this! He would stay calm and try to gather as much information as possible while the tracks were still fresh. Everybody was surprised to see Miguel's face harden with determination. He lifted his hand to wipe away the tears and begin his interrogation.

"Alright guys, it's up to us to get Kai back. First things first, Kenny!" The brown-haired boy looked up.

"Where you guys actually in the club or were you just in the area?"
"No, we were at the club. We had gotten home earlier than expected and decided to go back to that club since we enjoyed it so much last time."
"Good. Did you perhaps manage to capture anything on Dizzy's webcam? Anything that might help?" The others all looked at each other. Why hadn't they thought about that? Kenny took Dizzy everywhere with him and she almost always recorded what was being done. They watched as Kenny whipped Dizzy open and start typing away. They all gathered around the laptop as images of the previous evening came up. They took it slowly frame-by-frame. They were getting more and more desperate as the frames flashed by and they didn't see anything that could help them. Just as they were about to give up, Spencer cried out for them to stop.

"Chief stop! Go back two frames!" Doing as he asked, the chief gasped. There it was! Dizzy had managed to capture the helicopter on a single frame, and that frame clearly showed the make and serial number of the helicopter that had been used. Miguel nearly jumped for joy. They had a lead! And a very good one at that. While Kenny traced the information to find the owner, they started planning the rescue mission...

Kai groaned softly as his vision slid back into focus. The men who had kidnapped him had put him out using one of the darts used on anyone who tried to help him. Looking around, he noticed that he was lying on a bed covered by silk sheets. He was in a luxurious room, complete with television and balcony.

Getting up off the bed he made his way over to the balcony. As he looked over the edge he groaned again. He was a good five stories up. If he tried jumping it he would be flatter than a pancake upon reaching the bottom. He was so preoccupied with viewing his surroundings that he didn't notice the door to the room being unlocked and opened. He also didn't notice the steps coming closer until someone wrapped their arms tightly around his waist from behind. He gasped and tried to turn around, but was pinned against a hard chest. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and gasped again. It was someone he knew!

The mans name was Alexander Vorcov. He had short brown hair, evil green eyes that made on think of a snake, a tall muscular build, and overly polished manners when in public. He was a twenty year old business man who had been born into a rich family and just continued the family business. They had met when Vorcov was sixteen and he was fourteen. He had met him while living with his grandfather when he had been. It was widely known that Vorcov was gay, but it had never bothered him until he overheard a conversation between the two of them. His grandfather had been offering to engage the two of them. He had wanted the connection to their family since they were almost as powerful as Voltaire himself.

Kai struggled to release himself from the mans grasp, but was pinned too tightly. He heard the man laugh softly and the noise made him shiver.

"What's the matter my love? Aren't you happy to see me after so long?"

"Fuck off! As if I would be happy to see you of all people. Was it really necessary for you to kidnap me so I could refuse you again?" The brunette smirked.

"Is that so? What makes you think I'm going to give you a choice this time?" Kai paled slightly at these words. Seeing the Russian beauty pale made him smile. He had lusted after the boy ever since the day he first laid eyes on him. That feeling had grown into an obsession.

Kai had refused all of his advances and refused to come too close to him. He had finally given up on trying to play nice. He had been trying to trace Kai after all the trouble caused by Boris and BEGA. He had only recently managed to track down the blue-haired enigma. He had then wasted no time in implementing his plan to kidnap him.

If Kai didn't willingly want to marry him, then he would force him into it. He pressed the soft body against his own harder. He could feel Kai shift uncomfortably against him, and it was turning him on. He knew however, that now wasn't the time to force himself upon the boy. That had to wait until after they were married. He wanted this prize as his own. Even so, it was taking all of his will-power not to throw the boy across the mattress and ravish him. It would take a few days, but the plans for the wedding were moving forward. He had a few bogus witnesses ready, as well as a priest who was willing to do anything for a bit of extra money. All he needed now was a few days to set everything up...

Kai shivered to himself. It was four days since he discovered who his kidnapper was. Vorcov had finally managed to get everything ready and the wedding was only hours away. He had heard some troubling rumors about somebody who had been trying to track him, so he decided to hurry the wedding a bit. Little did he know, his plans would be interrupted sooner than he thought. He had procured a drug to make Kai pliable in order to convince him to sign the registry. It basically turned the person into a puppet who obeyed everything told to them for a few hours. He had just administered the drug into Kai's system, and was busy leading him to the registry where they would be married...

Meanwhile, the other bladers had managed to trace the ownership of the chopper to a company that hired them out. Kenny then managed to hack the company's files to discover that the last person to hire that specific model was a man going by the name of Alexander Vorcov. They had a bit of trouble tracking the man from there since he had covered his tracks well, but the details for his forthcoming marriage had given him away. They had discovered that by accident, but it had given them the opportunity to find his current whereabouts. They were currently rushing towards the registry that had been listed, not caring who he was to marry, but determined to get answers. They had no idea what awaited them once they arrived, but they were wondering why a man on the brink of marriage would commit a crime such as kidnapping and risk getting arrested just as he was getting married. Shrugging it off, they urged the driver Mr. Dickenson had provided to go faster...

After getting Kai to the registry, the ceremony proceeded smoothly until after the actual ceremony. Just as they finished signing the register, the doors burst open and the bladers came tumbling inside. What they saw in front of them was not what they had been expecting. Kai's eyes were half-lidded from the drug, and he looked a little zoned out. Miguel immediately stepped forward and addressed himself to the brunette.

"What is this? What do you think you're doing?" Vorcov smirked triumphantly.

"What does it look like? I'm getting married." They looked at him in shock. Tyson was the first to speak.

"But...to who?" The smirk grew wider.

"Why, to him." He said, gesturing lightly to the dazed boy next to him. They were in shock. He was getting married to Kai? How was that possible? Miguel spoke up bravely.

"Kai would never willingly marry someone like you!" Vorcov pinned Miguel with a glare.

"Who ever said he had a choice? What I say goes, and that's just what happened." Seeing the man's triumphant smirk made Miguel's blood run cold.

"What do you mean?" The man lifted Kai's left hand lightly.

"I'll let this speak for me." Miguel felt dead inside. On Kai's left ring finger was a plain gold ring. A wedding ring. As he watched in horror, something clicked in Miguel's brain.

"How could you have married him if he wasn't willing?" Volcov dropped Kai's hand and it fell limply to his side.

"Let's just say that mankind has made wonderful advances in science." A fury such as he had never known coursed through his veins.

"You drugged him." The other bladers all looked shocked.

"Very good Blondie, but figuring that out isn't going to get your precious little friend back. Legally we are married. The register has been signed by us both as well as several witnesses. There's nothing you can do about it." By now, all the bladers were very angry. Looking closely, they could see the effects of the drugs in Kai's system. It was like his will had been sapped out of him. His eyes were empty. As if it had been planned beforehand, Spencer, Tala, Ian, Tyson, Rei, Claude and Erin all tackled Volcov. Miguel rushed towards Kai who had slumped forward and caught him before he hit the ground. Matilda, Max and Kenny rushed ahead clearing the way for Miguel. He rushed out of the building and back to the waiting car. Following closely behind him was the rest of them who had jumped Vorcov. They couldn't keep him pinned down because a number of previously hidden bodyguards had jumped to his assistance. Scowling, Volcov watched them leave with his 'husband'. He cursed mentally and started trying to think up ways of getting back what was his.

Meanwhile, Kai had collapsed since the effect of the drug had almost worked its way out of his system. As he started stirring gently the others looked at each other nervously. They didn't know what to tell him when he woke up or how to act. Before they could think on it anymore, he groaned lightly and opened his eyes. As he woke up completely he looked around him and was surprised to find himself sitting in Miguel's lap.

"Um...what happened?" Suddenly memories flashed before him and he remembered being kidnapped, seeing the creep Volcov, then nothing. He whispered his next question.

"Was I drugged?" Looking at the others, Miguel decided to break the silence.

"Yes Kai, you were drugged. Do you remember anything?" They watched him thinking.

"No. It's all pretty much a blank between this morning and now. What happened? Why am I here?" They all looked at each other and decided to tell him. Tala spoke first.

"We're not entirely sure ourselves, but from what we were told and the research we did, he married you while you were drugged." Kai's eyes widened and his eyes shot to the wedding band on his left hand. Seeing the seemingly innocent ring there was just the last straw for him. He made a strangled sound before breaking down. He sobbed into his hands, shudders wracking his slight frame. After a while he calmed down a bit, but the others were shocked by his outburst. Kenny finally came up with a simple, but difficult solution.

"Hey guys! I think I know of a way for Kai to get out of this. Since he was married against his will while under the effects of drugs, we might be able to get the marriage nullified. It's not strictly a legal marriage. All we need to do is get that jerk to confess!" The others stared speechlessly at the young genius. They sat back comfortably to decide what to do next. Little did they know, Volcov wasn't about to give up so easily...
