Ok Guys and gals, here's another chapter. Just so it's clear: I do not own Beyblade, I do own the characters I have created here though. And also I would love to own Kai.

"This proves one thing," He turned to Max, "Max, that was not Kai. I'm sure he was hiding this. He has been hiding something since Russia."

He looked at the detectives again, "He is in trouble. He is not the criminal here, he is the victim. I know him, he will never say anything and will try and do everything on his own."

The two of them looked at one another, "Call him from the secure line."

Just as he flipped open his phone, it began ringing.

"It's him," Samuel had never called them on this number, something was wrong. The Detective immediately hit the green button.

"Mr. Samuel"

"Mori, is Nakano with you?" his voice sounded troubled.

"Yes"

"Listen carefully, they almost got me. Go to the hospital where Max is and get him out. Send Nakano to the dojo. We need to move everyone to a safe-house ASAP."

"We are with them right now sir. They are all here."

"Excellent"

"Sir there has been a change in the situation here, the bo-"

"Nothing over the phone Mori, move them all to the safe-house. All conversation after that."

"Ye-yes sir."

The call ended. Mori looked at Rei then the rest of the people present in the room.

"Pack your things, we are clearing out in the next five minutes."

Judy was the one to speak this time, "Moving? Are you crazy? I will not have it, my son just woke up, and he is in no condition t-"

"Ma'am we understand your situation, but if we do not move now, I'm afraid it will be too late to do anything. The enemy has already made their move."

Mori lowered his tone, "Ma'am, we have to move."

Nobody moved for a while. Then slowly Hillary unzipped the bag and started putting in all their things in it then everyone else moved to help her.

"Boris," a second voice reached Kai. His heart almost stopped beating. Fear.

Voltaire walked to where Kai lay on the floor, shuddering. He lifted his face with his foot. The boy was covered in sweat, his breathing was erratic. "We have wasted a lot of time already. You can settle your score with him later Boris, not on my clock."

"Yes sir, I apologize."

"Move him to the lab."

Someone helped him sit up. The place he was in was unusually quiet. His senses felt a little lethargic, and his body felt heavy. It was like he was sitting in the middle of a room full of cushions.

"Here, have this."

"Is everyone else okay?"

Spencer looked uncertain for a moment, "yes, they will pull through."

"Those sick bastards really did a number on us, didn't they? I hope they don't get Kai."

"Yeah, well about that."

Tala did not need him to say anything else, he knew exactly what that meant, "How can you be sure?"

"Everyone here is not Boris's and Voltaire's fan. It was one of the doctors who comes to inspect us. He said that Kai was in 'the lab' right now."

"Shit." Tala thought for a moment, lets not jump to any conclusions, "He could be playing us."

"Yeah, I sure hope so."

"And what if he is not?" Ian spoke up from the far end of the holding cell.

Night had fallen. They all sat in the cramped room.

"Well this is a setback." Samuel was seated in a chair behind a small table. Max lay on the only bed in the room. Everyone else took up a place that they thought was comfortable. Kenny was the only other person at the table next to Samuel, clicking away on Dizzy.

"We are extremely sorry sir, we were following the boy, but it was almost like he completely disappeared. So then we went up to Max's room and put up an act." Nakano turned to face Rei, "I'm sorry, it was the only way we could make sure we were there if something happened"

"Yeah well, what is this 'something' that has happened exactly? Care to explain?" Tyson stood up, looking straight at the Detective in the chair next to Kenny. "And where the hell is Kai?"

The detective let out a sigh, "my best guess is, he is wherever Voltaire is right now."

"What? Voltaire?"

"Yes. He escaped from prison, well more like he was let out from the prison." Samuel Looked at his sweaty palms and tried to keep it together and focus his attention. "But officially he is still in there."

"So where is he now?"

"Most likely, Russia. We have been tracking the movements of everyone even remotely associated with Boivault." He looked up at the people in the room, "and looks like he has set up shop again."

"So what does he want with Kai?" Max's weak voice was barely audible.

Samuel paused, trying to put his thoughts in order, "Do you guys know anything about the Biovault? Well, no that's not where we should start. Do you know anything about Kai's past?"

That's right, Kai rarely spoke, so no one really knew what his past really was. They knew just the very little that he had occasionally let slip. Or some bits and pieces that surfaced every now and then. But, what was his real past?

"Well? No? Let me fill you in then. I have been looking into the Biovault case for many years now. They always pretended to be an advanced research company trying to improve the art of Bey blading. A company trying to understand bit beasts. But that was all a façade. Underneath it all, it was a place that was really trying to create a monster that could devour the power of any bit beast that would cross it."

Kai was conscious, but he could not move his body. His heart pounding he tried to see where he was. His vision was blurred, but he could make out shapes of people wearing white coats. There were maybe four or five of them. All whispering, like they were afraid they would wake a sleeping beast.

"He is waking up," Kai heard someone say. The next moment, he saw a man's face come close to his own, he felt him clutch his jaw and open his mouth. Then the checked his eyes, flashing a rather bright light in them. Someone was holding their thumb over his wrist.

"Vitals are okay."

"His pulse seems to have stabilized too."

Then someone tied something over his eyes.

"Inject him with the medicine." Boris Kai could never make a mistake with that voice.

"But sir, the subject is still fragile, it could potentially har-"

"I don't think you love your own life very much doctor," Kai heard Boris move, he tried to mentally follow his footsteps. They stopped. "You can leave the subject's health concerns to me. I will bring him back from the edge of death, trust me." He moved again this time his steps moved closer to where he was, "won't I? Kai?" Kai heard his voice whisper in his ear.
