Authors Note: Back with another chapter, thanks to the people reading and the people that review!

d1bontemp - Voltaire... Hmmm, afraid so he's dead and buried (Really! he is! I'm not just saying this! ) I suppose that helps a few other people that thought it was Voltaire - but the question remains whom is doing all of this and why. Hopefully you'll be able to figure it out later. Thanks for reviewing!

Irn2 - Kai's personality I thought was going a bit to... Hrm... How do you say too un-kai-ish so... I tried harder to think about how he really would reacted to everything going on. Then again since Kai is just basically a large '?' So I just had to give a good guess on that. Adonis...went... Well there's a question... I cannot answer yet...Thanks for reviewing!

isthatnecessary - I'm glad some people (mainly you,) referred back to the last story/fic, which is good to see you haven't forgotten a few Oc's that happened to wander in and wander back out again and don't really appear the rest of the fic... --- Hint. Thanks for reviewing.

DancerInTheDark101 - I did? I thought that was really slow, but now that I look at it, it was only around four days... which is okay I guess anyway, I hope I'm not killing a few people's nerves with all the suspense and cliff-hangers I place into this fic. Hope you didn't wait too long thanks for waiting.

Nameless Little Girl - Thanks for enjoying the last chapter so much, then again I really should stop basking in the affective reviews and actually type up the next chapter! Anyway, without further ado, here's the next chapter (Pst. thanks for reviewing.)

Chapter 20

Where am I? Kai grumbled as he looked around, he was no longer in Japan nor any place he had seen before. It was red, a blazing red - that was all he could see. Some of the red changed slowly, turning and twisting turning lighter and lighter till it was a dark orange. Soon the whole place where Kai thought he was standing began to sway into different colours. From orange to yellow, to blue… To purple - then it went back to red.

What is this place…? Kai wasn't sure if he was meant to be scared or shocked with - where ever he was - though the lights were impressive, he felt cold. Daring to take a step forward, he took a deep breathe hoping the floor - that appeared like coloured water - would not collapse underneath him.
The ground held, though small ripples came off Kai's foot on where he placed his foot. He had a sudden feeling of pain in his chest. He groaned and frowned.

After what seemed like an eternity of wandering around the room - place - stopped changing colours, the final change was into a circle of fire. Orange, yellow and red flames danced among each other in some silent ritual. Kai watched as the small flames rose higher and higher, until they were almost twice the size as himself. Amidst the scorching flames, there came a dark - black shadow, one which Kai tried to back away from. He couldn't the flames were almost at his back. If he walked any further he'd be killed.

A golden beak pierced through the flames, as did a small angular head followed by a large mass of white hair. Each lock of hair was touched by the burning flames yet nothing happened to them, except making the flames themselves look weak. Kai gasped as he immediately recognised the bird as none other than Dranzer. Kai sighed as the legendary bird came closer, he was happy it was just Dranzer; but why did Dranzer look so tired?

He walked closer to the bird, it's eyes were closed as if it were napping as if it were trying to calm some strange anxiety. Kai looked over Dranzer, it did not seem injured yet the bitbeast was barely moving…Not even sharing wisdom like it's usual habits would.

Dranzer…? Kai wasn't sure if he should wake the beast up, did he have the right too? Was this really Dranzer or just a strange dream?

DRANZER! Kai yelled, hoping the beast would open and reveal its eyes to show some interest in what Kai was wanting to ask.

The large bird moved slowly, as it's head moved up and down slowly as if agreeing to something. A small squawk came from the bitbeasts mouth.

What… Kai moved forward again, trying to understand what Dranzer was saying. The noise kept coming leaving Kai confused.

What are you saying…? Kai noticed that the noise was getting quieter and quieter, so he moved closer hoping to catch what he was being told.

Why can't I understand…? He slowly looked down at his feet; the floor was a solid one - where had the colourful water gone. Kai released a sad sigh, he was lost. This was he felt like every time he was awake. He had no idea what was happening around him, and when he finally made a decision, it was too late something would happen. Something bad.

Rei was awoken by the sounds of groaning, he looked around, and saw Kai tossing and turning on his bed. Rei sighed,

Kai looks like he's having a bad dream… Rei knew that you weren't suppose to wake people up if they were having a bad dream, they could lash out or hurt themselves. Something Rei didn't want, he sat up looking at the other sleeping faces of the BladeBreakers. They all appeared to be having no trouble sleeping.

Rei stood up and tip-toed over to see if Kai was okay, it wasn't the first time he had seen the teen being tormented by his sleep. He sighed when he noticed the pain on Kai's face; whatever he was dreaming wasn't nice - then again his little sister and father were still gone and would most likely be a fact that would continue to come up. Even in dreams.

"Kai…" Rei gave the boy a nudge, hoping he would wake from the small notion, yet he didn't he just seemed more troubled. Rei was trying to decide if waking him up would be a good idea.

"Kai." Rei said a touch firmer hoping he would just wake up by the sound of his voice, yet he did not wake. Kai looked as if he was experiencing more pain as the dream progressed. So Rei thought it would be better in the long run to make his captain wake up.

"Kai." Rei continued to shake him until he heard a groan and then felt Kai's body tense up knowing that someone had been near him. His breathing was out of rhythm and Rei saw the stressed out look - just before his captain placed his emotionless mask on.

He turned and gave Rei a confused look, he was thankful that he was out of that strange dream…

"It's okay Kai you were just having a bad dream." Rei gave a brief smile, before tilting his head when Kai shook his, "It wasn't a dream…" he muttered, it couldn't have been it was too real too… Realistic - too many details that did fit into place… Kai sat up, looking at Rei. Thoughts on whether it was a dream or not still flooded his mind.

"Huh?" Rei sat down confused for a second before sighing and shook his own head, things were just going to get harder, especially if anything had or did happen to Sota or Adonis.
"Never mind…What time is it?" Kai rubbed his left eye, he hated waking up with sleep in his eyes, he let a sigh out when Rei answered.

"About three o'clock?" Rei wasn't too sure but judging on how dark it was it was somewhere between that time and maybe a few hours ahead…

"Go back to bed Rei." Kai muttered and fell back onto his sheets, he hoped he would be able to get back to sleep.

"Okay, try to have a good night sleep Kai."

Everyone was happy to get a short shower, changed and have new clothes on - having the same ones on did make them rather uncomfortable and they had not been able to change since they got back. Mr. Dickenson must have had a high tolerance of smell - or no sense of smell whatsoever.

Aton frowned as he watched his mother grab a hang bag she had newly bought - she had spend some money on everyone, as a way of saying 'sorry' for getting them involved into the Hiwatari's crisis.

"Where are you going?" Aton frowned, he didn't like the idea on Enya leaving on her own to someplace he had never heard of before. What if something happened to her?

"I need to go see a solicitor so Kai and Aton can play in sport again. As I am the last female from the Navia family, I am the only one that can do it. Plus with the news about Boris I believe Kai will need to be a part of your beyblading team again." She sighed and hugged Aton trying to convince him that she would be okay.

"Will you be okay? To go yourself?" Lilita looked at her with a worried face, wondering if this woman really did know what was going on. If she did why was she acting so carefree - or was that the reason? She knew what would happen and therefore was prepared for anything?
"I'm sure if I am to be harmed, then it would have happened long ago." She smiled and gave a hug to one of the girls she had spent a few years travelling with.

"What do you me-." Lilita was cut off as Enya walked out the door yelling a farewell to everyone.

"-Goodbye." She smiled and closed the door. She breathed in the clean air happy to be out of the horrible cell, her throat was no longer sore from the gas.

She turned around when she heard something move behind her - her son Kai was standing there with another look of distaste. He probably didn't want her to go either.

"I'll tell you when I return okay." She smiled, at last she could tell them all what was happening and who was behind it - not like they would believe her at first.

"Hm…" Kai nodded and watched as his mother walked away occasionally turning round and waving which received only a nod from Kai himself.

"Kai." Lilita came up and stood beside Kai looking at Enya's retreating back - she was getting further and further away.

"Do you think it's a good idea for your mum to go out?" She whispered hoping that he would at least say something wise or something - anything to get her mind off of the horrible feeling that was rising in the back of her mind.

"I don't know." Kai answered truthfully, he too was having a hard time coping with everything. He sighed and walked off. He knew why his mother way going away but he did not know the reason behind her order of… I'm going alone no one follow….

Rei watched, from the other side of the dojo, Kai whom was being talked to by Lilita he sighed and turned to look at Max.

"I hope we find Adonis and Sota soon." He liked Sota, she was just a fun little girl - and Adonis was a nice respecting adult. Plus they were relatives to Kai and had made it possible for him to start to trust people again.

"Yeah Kai looks utterly depressed." Tyson muttered as he walked over, over-hearing the conversation he didn't know what was wrong with him. He supposed he was just fed-up with being in the dark.

"Who wouldn't be in his situation?" Max answered, he too would probably be crying twenty-four-seven if he were Kai's position.
"True…" Rei nodded and looked back to see the sudden fall of Kai and a shriek form Lilita. The BladeBreakers suddenly glanced at one another and ran over to their collapsed comrade.

Dranzer….

Where am I?

Kai… A weak voice echoed through his head, Kai grumbled at the voice it sounded familiar.

Dranzer? Kai answered back wondering why Dranzer was answering to him now.

Master, please… allow me to rest… The bird sounded tried and sad and most of all, desperate.

I don't… like… test tubes…. I don't like… needles either… They cage me… so much…It hurts… These things confused Kai, but suddenly he got an idea - had those goons taken something from everyone's bitbeast?

You will have to defeat… It… Kai frowned and wonder what 'it' Dranzer was referring to.

Sota…Is alive… Kai's heart missed a beat as he suddenly found his head crammed with many questions.

She…Is…not herself… She is…Scared…She wants to see you….Yet…She cannot… Dranzer sounded sad, and also very weak, it took the bitbeast a few breathes before having another go at a few words.

Dranzer…Rest, you can tell me later… Kai noticed how bad Dranzer sounded there would be no point in completely draining his bitbeast of information at that point.

Thank you…Master Kai…

Kai groaned again as he felt suddenly awake. "Kai you okay?" Rei and Tyson had helped him up onto his feet, wondering what had caused their friend to collapse, it was strange - he was eating fine as well as sleeping… A lack of a few hours of sleep could not make some one faint like that.
"I'm fine." He mumbled as he began to regain more of his conscious. He was unaware of the strange look he received off of Lilita and Selene.

"You just collapsed! Are you sure?" Max asked, wondering if this was again another cover. Kai blinked a few times letting his eyes get used to the brightness, he wasn't surprised when he noted he'd been out for a few hours…

"Perfectly." Kai grumbled as he stood up on his own two feet and walked away from Rei and Tyson whom were both relieved to have the weight decreased.

Kai turned around and looked at everyone.

"Don't beyblade." Kai muttered, Max, and Rei looked at each other hoping that they had misheard or maybe misunderstood what Kai had said.

"What?" Rei asked his soon-to-be-again-captain, he hoped he wasn't getting too stressed as much as emotion did for bitbeast it would be impossible to manoeuvre a beyblade with just stress alone.

"Whatever happened when we were asleep….Has stressed our bitbeasts out too much. Don't use them just yet." Kai turned back and started to walk away from them all, just when Tyson called out.

"Kai." Kai continued to walk but shouted back a easy response.

"I'll be back… Later."

Enya was happy, she had now stopped the stupid will her step-father had placed on the family, he must have wrote that thinking she was dead… What a fool that man was. A sudden thought of grief washed over Enya, she knew why he was so - crazy.

Before she knew it she had taken a detour down an alleyway and her path was blocked by somewhat strangely dressed men.

"Who are you!" She shouted as she tried to turn away and walk back onto the main streets - they grabbed her arm. Enya's instincts told her to get free and then run fast. She struggled against the forced of the man but he just laughed at her and threw her against a wall. She groaned as her back collided with the solid wall, the three men crowded around her.

She whimpered as sudden legs and fists began to be thrown at her, she covered her head, hoping that they would leave her alone - yet that thought was forgotten when the pain was unbearable, she screamed and groaned as each man punched and kicked almost every part of her body. She tried to stand up, but the attacker just kept pushing her down and kicking her in the gut. If this continued, she'd be dead within a few minutes…

Kai had his hands in his pockets, like normal, walking down an alleyway, like normal, and looking emotionless, like normal. Though everything was miles away from normal, the line was crossed and was now miles away that line looked like a simple spot…

"Hello…" He glanced down when he felt a small ginger cat rub up against his legs, he had seen it a few times while he had wandered around through the years - he doubted it was the same cat. A small purr escaped the cat when Kai patted it's head quickly. The cat bolted with a sudden noise coming from around the corner of the concealed alley.

He turned to see someone sprawled out on the ground, with a large amount of blood coming from their face, as Kai steeped closer he noticed the familiar hair colour and even the dress his mother had been wearing.

Kai's eyes widened as his heart began to beat so fast he thought it would burst through his chest at any minute - he didn't know what would be more painful, that or the feeling he was getting. The horrible feeling of guilt that he should of went with his mother to stop this from happening.

"MOTHER!" He skidded, and quickly kneeled down, lifting her shoulders so he could see her face, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"What - what the hell happened!" He looked franticly around, wondering if the attackers were still about. Luckily they were long gone. He looked down at his mother's face, it was pale - yet stained in blood. Her hair too… Kai was trying hard to fight back the burning pain at the back of his throat - why?

"I…had to fight for you both…I'm sorry…" Enya whimpered out, she could hardly open her eyes as a large swell was taken form.

"What…I'll get some help. Hang on." Kai looked around, were there any people within the alleyway or would he need to go out back to the main road. What if those attackers came back to finish what they hadn't finished?

"Kai…" A small noise emitted from Enya, as she lifted her hand to stroke Kai's cheek. A small trail of blood on her finger mark his face lightly.

"You needn't worry…about me." She smiled, and then felt the urge to be sick and pushed Kai lightly away as she coughed hoping her son wouldn't see her throw up the blood, like she had been doing for a few minutes.

"Shut up…I don't want you too die!" Kai searched in his pockets he hoped to God that their was reception in this place - if not he'd…Loose his mother.

"Kai…I want you to know…" She gave another smile, she groaned suddenly as she felt the gash on her neck bleed more and the cool air began to sting at it.

"…None of this is….your fault understand." She continued to smile as she watched her son dial an ambulance…

The BladeBreakers sat down with nothing to do, their captain had told them not to train at the present time - not to use their bitbeasts and they knew he knew something that he wasn't telling anyone. The phone went, the BladeBreakers froze, as did the two girls. Tyson, as it being his family house was the one that had to answer the phone. It was somewhat nerve-shaking, he didn't know who could have been phoning him. Some terrorists or something could have gotten hold of Kai and then would want ransom!

Tyson sighed and picked up the phone, and heard a quiet voice on the other end. Soon after the voice stopped speaking in the hushed mutterings of their own mind. Tyson decided to ask, just to make sure how it was.

"Kai?" Tyson frowned when he heard the blader sniff at the other end of the phone. Kai willed himself not to break down on the phone even though he was possibly the only person that knew about the attack. Minus the people that ordered and done it.

"What's wrong…!" Tyson hoped that Kai wouldn't just hang up and come to his dojo hours later and clam up. It wouldn't do anyone any good when he done that especially him. Kai sighed and asked if his brother could take charge of the phone. If he was going to breakdown he wouldn't do it on the phone to Tyson Granger also known as The World Champion.

"Sure…" Tyson sounded disappointed - did Kai not trust him, or was this a family moment? Tyson tore his ear away from the phone and turned to look at the concerned purplette sitting, cross-legged in the corner.

"Aton, phone…It's Kai he sounds upset." Tyson quickly passed the phone over; yet he did not leave the room - if there was anything he could overhear he wanted to hear it.

Aton frowned when he didn't hear anyone talking at the other end, so decided to check if Kai hadn't gotten too impatient and hung up.

"Kai?" Aton sighed, then froze as the words that Kai wanted to scream poured out and into Aton's head. From the older brother's reaction it could only mean one thing - something very bad had happened. Very Bad.
"What! Okay…We'll all come…" Aton nodded trying to get the full story into his head. The whole thing didn't hit until he gave the phone back to Tyson to place back down. No one really wanted to ask, yet they all craved answers.

"What was that about?" Tyson was still concerned, what had happened to make Kai so upset? Aton took a deep breath preparing himself not to have his own breakdown session.
"…Our mum got attacked while coming out of the solicitors office, she's in the Eastend hospital." He looked along all of the shocked and worried faces. Selene and Lilita looked at each other and attempted not to start crying hysterically there and then.

"Come on we'll all go." With that everyone left the dojo, their new target was Eastend Hospital.
