Chapter 19

The World Champion grumbled as he heard a male voice shout at him, first it was no louder than a simple raised voice.

"Tyson…" The voice was one that the boy recognised though sleep was more important as the name of the person slipped his mind. There was some muttered and talking that Tyson ignored, just about to go back to his deep slumber.

"Tyson!" The voice grew louder as Tyson slowly looked out of one eye, just through his eyelashes, he could see a large blob of blue. What had a big blob of blue on it. Tyson 'hum-ed' as he closed his eye again, ready to wake up. There was a large disturbance as Tyson heard a few, No don't.

"Wake up!" Tyson felt himself being lifted up by the collar. As the shock woke him up he gained another as Kai's face was glaring deadly at him, not to mention he was just centimetres away from his own face. Tyson laughed nervously and tried to make sure he wouldn't get into a situation that would cause Kai to go, utter and completely insane.

"What…" Tyson replied, still sleepy, he rubbed the small particles out of his eyes hoping that he would be able to be wide awake soon.

"Get up." Kai growled and then threw Tyson back down on the ground - surprised Tyson looked around, he could see grass, and some sort of dojo.

"Where are we?" Tyson yawned as he sat up, kneeling as he stretched his arms over his head. Max smiled and chuckled and finally answered the World Champions question.

"At your dojo!" The words at first didn't register and Tyson was still in the middle of stretching, but when his brain caught up with what was being said he blinked and yelled.

"Wha--!"

Tyson looked confused as he glanced at everyone's amused faces they were probably the ones to inhale less gas. "How is this…" Rei smiled,

"Possible?" Rei thought it was strange as well, but with the strange mood swings Kai had been having everyone was being very careful not to mention the Hiwatari family…

There was a short pause as everyone pondered over what to say, they were lucky. To get out…

"It is possible, just not logical." Selene snapped, she didn't like this it all seemed to planned, too… Perfect. Enya looked over at the teen who was sitting rather closely to Max. They had been discussing the situation out of ear-shot and she herself had had enough of talking quietly.

"What do you mean Selene?" Enya frowned unsure of whether this would make Kai go off onto another rant about not being able to protect his little sister. Everyone knew that it was not his fault and no one could make Kai believe that, himself.
"Well, I mean they had us all at a point where they could just kill us…" Selene looked at everyone as they nodded in agreement, Lilita smiled a little. They just kept us for a few days… Why, why did they not do anything to us?

"I'm just happy I'm out of there." Lilita gave a sigh of relief as Rei nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." Kenny sighed too, he didn't like the idea of sharing such a room with over half a dozen people. Kenny liked his space as much as Kai liked his privacy.

"If they real aim was to kill the Hiwatari family… They would have done so in there and not let us out." Aton blurted out thinking it was strange to let half of the family go and keeping the other half. There had to be some sort of logical explanation surely.

"True, though… Where's Sota and Adonis?" Rei bit his tongue and looked over at Kai as did a few others, he didn't seem too phased but then again they all had to be careful as the chips had been malfunctioning again and was causing hell for the poor Hiwatari.
The thing that shocked everyone was his cold answer. "Probably going to be either killed or ransomed back." He knew that it was what everyone was thinking and who could blame them? That exactly what he thought too. He didn't love Adonis, simply trusted slightly more than he would a stranger. Though Kai loved his little sister. If she was dead so was he.

"I don't think they would kill either of them…" Rei frowned it was all a little fuzzy in his head he had only recently thought about it, but it was making more sense when he thought about it.

"How do you know that Rei?" Kenny looked over at him relieved that someone could put a positive outlook on the subject.

Rei shuffled around; he was used to the out door and did want to tell everyone but he couldn't think of any other way to say it other than… Well a way that Kai would kill him for. Rei cleared his throat and gave a wary look to Kai as if pleading with him to not go mad and into another tantrum.
"Well, Sota was gone even before we got there, and she was still alive. Adonis was also in the cell when we arrived. There wouldn't be any point to kill the youngest sibling that hardly anyone cares, or knows about…" Rei rested his eyes on the floor, furthest away from any of the Hiwatari's it was cruel to say… He felt like a criminal.

There was some unrest between some of the bladers a few glanced up to see Kai glaring his famous death-glare at the neko-gin.

"True, it is usually Adonis and Kai in the limelight. The rest of us are usually forgotten." Aton muttered, it was really the truth. Adonis was the adult male of the home, whom recently came back so there was still a lot of publicity on just him. Kai was just… Kai with all of his fan-girls and beyblading fans wanting to know more about him and his techniques.
"Why would they keep Adonis then?" Lilita was confused, she wasn't that keen on hearing why some members of the family would be kept alive and other's wouldn't but she had to ask or she would be left behind and, in the long run…. Be even more confused.
"He's head of the house." Kai elaborated, glaring at the girl - she wanted to shiver under the intense glare he was giving her but she knew that it was probably just the chips making him that way.

"So. That means?" The girl did come from a fairly wealthy family, but every family was different, and she herself did not have a 'head of house.'
"He has power over anything that any other Hiwatari owns." Enya sighed she hated that ruled, it was made when the Hiwatari family where just a family of merchants. The man of the house would control his sons and daughters and even if the sons were richer. The father could close the business down and take any of the money he wanted. It was just to make sure that the sons' gave their fathers' the respect that they needed.Kai quickly excused himself,

"I'll be back in a minute…"

The rest of the group nodded and decided it was better to go inside.

Kai had randomly disappeared and even though he had said he'd be back in only a minutes everyone was getting worried. If it were a normal day, and no one had been kidnapped then no one would have bothered but with the thought of Kai being captured it didn't leave a very good mind-set.

The door went and everyone looked at Tyson, whom ran quickly to the door hoping it was Kai. Though he rarely knocked the door so it was not a large surprise when it was the BBA manager.

"Mr. Dickenson?" Tyson blinked wondering why on earth he was here. Mr. Dickenson smiled and was swiftly invited to the main living room where everyone sat.
"You're all back! Thankfully!" Mr. Dickenson received warm smiled from everyone. He smiled and noticed Enya, who quickly stood up and bowed. Smiling happily.

"Stanley! How nice it is to see you again." She smiled, as Mr. Dickenson was asked to sit down, there was a lot of people in the small living area.

"The pleasure is all mine Enya. Where have you been all these years." Enya didn't know quite what to say but decided to just make up an excuse.

"Ah, just travelling around." She kept smiling thinking that no one would dare to tell Stanley Dickenson the truth. Then again only she knew the real truth.

"We'll may I ask - where were you all!" Mr. Dickenson noticed that there had been search parties arranged and had searched all over the world, different countries spend a lot of money and time looking for the BladeBreakers, not to mention the Hiwatari family.

"We were trapped in a confinement camp by some, terrorist looking guys in the Sahara desert." Max said matter-of-factly, Mr. Dickenson blinked and wondered if it was just a joke but reading the blank faces that he received he knew Max was being serious.

"No wonder we didn't find you… We'll I'm afraid there is some bad news…" Mr. Dickenson sighed as everyone turned to look at the older man. What else could have gone wrong in the same short time? Everyone nervously looked at each other wondering, though not wanting to ask. Kai noticed that Mr. Dickenson didn't look happy - if it was tragic news he wouldn't have looked so… Angry.

"What?" Tyson quickly asked hoping that Mr. Dickenson would give them all the answer they wanted but were to scared to ask the question.

"Boris has decided to enter this years champions ships…Again." Mr. Dickenson sighed, he had no idea on how the man could have gotten the chance to even enter a team; not to mention who would work for such a selfish man.

"What! He's suppose to be in prison!" Kai glared; thinking of the most logical explanation for Boris of all people to be out of jail. After the incident with Brooklyn, he was taken into prison for simple questioning, when they had search his own home, and had found notes and documents on the Abbey. In other words he was placed in jail for minor or major blackmail.

"Bail I believe." Mr Dickenson was confused on that as well. After his building was destroyed; he had no funds whatsoever. That's why Mr. Dickenson was relaxed… At the beginning of the year.

"So what is he planning to do this year?" Rei sighed, he hated the man. The neko-gin glanced up to see Kai glaring at nothing in particular though Rei knew it was probably just the sickening thought of Boris replaying in his head.

"I don't know, he said that the BBA will soon be shown up and that, and I quote, 'even the most coldest will fail to save this years bitbeasts.'" Everyone frowned, and by the coldest blader he meant…. Kai? Or was there another cold blader that was still stronger than he was? Tyson shook his head, trying to think that everything would be okay as he was the world champion and he could take anything that he maniac threw at him.

"He's after bitbeasts again. This guy just doesn't give up!" Tyson huffed, Tyson hated people that were so selfish some people didn't even have bitbeasts and there he was trying to steal and create ones of his own.

Mr. Dickenson sighed yet again, which caused everyone too look back over and give the man their undivided attention.

"There is another problem, he also has placed the last of his money - where he got it from, was a kind source - he boasted non-stop sending multiple letters that all the bitbeasts will be his. Of course there are no rules on gaining bitbeasts in battle. So we cannot do anything to stop him unless he physically steals them. Not like the type but he seems very confident. Too confident."

The group sat down; letting it all sink in - as for Kai he was wondering when he could leave. He had much to ask his beloved phoenix. Even if he would be going to the World Championships with no clue on who was working for Boris. He's notice right away anyone would notice a new blader that had somehow managed to gain access to such a high level of skill.

"So how long we got Mr. D?" Tyson's thoughts were soon devoted to training, he had had a hard time battling Brooklyn but he had his friends. Though was this time going to be easier…? Or harder?

"The championships are in three months, be prepared I'll come again to see if you all are okay and if I get any news on what Boris is up to."

Mr. Dickenson stood up, gave a quick nod to everyone and turned to leave only to be stopped by Tyson.
"Is it the Demolition Boys again?" Kai sent the boy a dangerous look. He wasn't best friends with any of them but still. He knew for a fact that they would never, go back to Boris or Voltaire again. Ever.
"I'm afraid that I have no clue… Though I believe that even they will not go back to him." Mr. Dickenson waved and said farewell before leaving the crowded dojo, there were still some questions that everyone had and still no answers to them.

"So who are we going to beyblading…?" Rei muttered standing up - training was going to be long and hard from now on. Kai stood still as one by one, people left the dojo - out to the garden either to start with a warm-up or to watch and give feedback later. Kai looked around no one was in the room now. They'd all left, he stood up straight and brought his beyblade out.

"Dranzer we are all out of there now. Tell me what you know." Kai waited for a response but none came, not even the usual warmth that the phoenix usually brought.

"Why are you ignoring me." Kai glared at the small bit, with a picture of his oldest friend, he glared at it until he frowned. It was odd.

"Dranzer…?" Kai whispered, something felt wrong.

Kai scowled and walked outside where the rest of his family and friends awaited, Tyson looked around and found Kai staring - glaring at his beyblade.

"Kai what's wrong…?" Tyson's question caused a few other members of the team to turned around and look at their team captain slightly worried if Tyson was going to get yelled at. Kai Hiwatari was in a very sensitive mood. Though Kai just looked up and answered quickly as if it were nothing to worry about.
"Dranzer is… Acting weird." Kai sighed and sat down. It's not like he could go to the championships anyway…

"How?" Kenny wondered what was wrong with Dranzer; it looked physically fine. Kenny thought it was best to turn on his laptop and waited for it to start up.

"Is Driger?" Rei blinked it would have to have been serious if Kai wanted someone else's opinion on anything else. What was wrong with Dranzer to make Kai so concerned?

"Let's see…" Rei muttered and brought his beyblade out - there would be no point in wasting energy on launching and training hadn't even started. Rei thought that maybe, he could talk to Driger quickly and that be the end of it.

Driger, what do you think Kai mean's by Dranzer's acting weird? Rei waited for an answer which never came, the usual happy and safe feeling that would conceal him just wasn't there…
Driger? Are you there? As Rei frowned, everyone knew one way or another it wasn't good news.

"Yeah…Driger's acting weird too…" Rei mumbled feeling slightly lost on why his own bitbeast was not answering.

"This is bad guys…" Max gulped after a few seconds, his bitbeasts too was not replying to his call. Tyson felt all eyes on him as he called to his bitbeast…

"Really bad…Dragoon isn't…Responding either." Everyone sighed, so if the bitbeasts weren't listening to them did that mean they wouldn't be able to beyblade anyone?
"What are we meant to do if our bitbeasts are ignoring us." Max suggested hoping that someone would come up with a good explanation.

"Try them out see if they still do as they're told when beyblading." Enya received a few nods as the BladeBreakers got into their own spaces.

"Yeah… They might just be asleep…" Tyson urged himself on thinking that Dragoon would appear and so would everyone else's bitbeasts. Then they could go to the Championships and hopefully stop Boris from stealing and trying to rule the world… Max gave Tyson a grin and couldn't help but chuckle at the fact.

"Can bitbeasts go to sleep with gas?" It would be strange that something so powerful could just be knocked out so easily with sleeping gas.
"Dunno." Tyson shrugged his shoulders, if something else was wrong then they would all see a way through it just like they normally would.

After a few hours of calling repeatedly on their bitbeasts, and with Max, Rei, Tyson and Kai completely exhausted had to go inside as the sun was setting quickly. None of them spoke until Lilita asked.

"So who's blade works?" She smiled hopefully, she didn't beyblade anymore but she did know the main basics of it - in other words, without a bitbeast, they'd get creamed.
"Dranzer, Draciel and Driger work but… Dragoon doesn't." Kenny stated, the positive thing was that three of the bitbeasts worked, the down side that the World Champion may have a extremely hard time defending his title if Dragoon didn't reawaken in the next few months.

"Maybe it's just lazy like it's owner." Max was trying to loosen everyone up - even with the short time he had been out of the prison-camp he's gone back to his normal, bubbly self. The girls and Aton did not know of Tyson's sleeping habits and therefore were left out of the joke. Though it showed on Kai's face, he had found the comment rather amusing.

"Hey!" Tyson yelled after the laughter of his friends died down.

All of a sudden Kai stood up, out of his kneeling position on the floor where the rest were still sitting, of course everyone gave him a confused or concerned look.

"Kai, where you going?" Enya wanted to know she couldn't have Kai going out for a walk that would end up frying her nerves to their own extinction. Kai shrugged and muttered a quick excuse,
"…Bathroom." The answer was fine with everyone. Though no one saw him locking the door shut.

The BladeBreakers and the others sat and continued to talk about things that they wouldn't have - since Kai had left they all began to talk about Sota especially. Trying to figure out where she had been taken though that was soon stopped as no one could be certain.

Kai took a deep breath, if he wasn't allowed to show anyone else… Then he would read it all himself first. At least that way he would understand more of what was going on, even if it was just a little more than he already knew. He looked around and just decided to sit on the floor and read as many pages before everyone else in the other room became suspicious of what he was doing. They probably would think he cut or hurt himself.

He'd never do that anyway - he hated pain. Pain could not overcome pain for him. Death might but then again nothing would drive him that far, his basic instincts of living appealed far too strongly in those types of situations.

The blue book… He opened it to the third page, the other pages were of diagrams and other strange symbols that Kai hoped would be explained later on. He let his eyes rest on the top of the page getting his eyes used to the scribbled writing every now and again it would get neat and then unbearable to look at. The author of the book must have had some sort of need to write their feelings down.

December 12th Monday

I tried to talk to that old man of mine. Some father! He doesn't even like me enough to give me just a small amount of money. I've been exiled, what does he expect me to do! Work in some stupid office - unheard of!

Kai frowned, already he was beginning to get annoyed with the authors of the book. Was this going to be so easy to read something of someone like this. That was so… Arrogant.

Friday 13th The Gene Pool Bitbeasts

For Bitbeasts to be reborn they need a certain gene, of course that gene depends on every bitbeast I believe. Though when I was destroying and re-creating Tundra, over and over again it asked me. Begged me to stop. I can hurt the gods! I certainly will be remembered! After another few experiments on this, Tundra - the ice element I shall have to go onto another bitbeast. Maybe one of alternative element such as…Fire? Why didn't I think of this before! Fire can destroy things quicker than ice! Of course!

The thought of fire, make Kai feel alone - he wondered where and why Dranzer may have been ignoring him now and yet not in battle?

Saturday 14th

Grandfather died today. My own father is heart broken. Though for me to be able to get… To make a fire bitbeast I need a different gene! Argh, how hard is it to get one of a different make-up!
I wonder how long mother will live for…

What was this diary of a madman?! Kai didn't know if he wanted to go on reading but he pushed himself to - his friends, family were all nearly killed a only a few days ago! He had to figure out who this was. To get Sota back.

Wednesday

A short entry, a new gene found. Mother died a few nights ago - rather… Unexpectedly I wonder if anyone noticed how loony that old man's getting just because his wife is gone?
A wife - nothing more than a bearer of children that cooks and should know when to shut up. In fact they should know when to speak, that stupid wife of mine never shuts up. She goes on and on about women's rights. Women have no rights, she can't seem to except that male rule and females are all but there to serve us.

Kai had a thought about burning the book of such a… Bigot and stuck-up person. He never knew people still had views like that on woman… Then again how old was this book it might have been as old as he was maybe older.

"What… ignorant, arrogant…! What a…bastard!" Kai shut the book hating the words that spun around in his head. How could someone be so cruel! To kill their mother… For a bitbeast that might even fail!

"How can I be related to such….Jackass. Killer…Murder!" Kai wasn't sure whether to cry or be angry, he couldn't make up his mind he just couldn't think of anything except this owner, if Kai ever did meet the person responsible. Then they sure would hurt - badly.

I'm related to Voltaire, I suppose it runs in the family… Kai sighed and stood up thinking that if he were to get any more worked up someone may notice the odd change. They might even question him about it so he would have to make sure he looked okay.

Kai stood up and gave his eyes a quick glance in the mirror at least this time he had managed no tears - and without that darn chip…
