Previously
Hilary looked into the sky. It was a clear sky tonght with only a few scattered fluffy clouds which were lined with silver from the moon. Stars were scattered infinitly across the sky.
I'm getting closer to finding you Kai... she thought, Soon... we'll be together again!

Normal POV...
Tyson chewed on his pillow. He slept blissfully on the lounge room couch. Daichi and Kenny were asleep on the floor in the room with him. Max was also asleep in an armchair with a blanket over him.
'Hmm... no granpa, don't take the cookies...' Tyson grumbled.
A smile spread across his face and he chewed on his pillow some more. Hilary and Ray stepped over Kenny and Daichi and reached Tyson. Hilary shook him.
'Tyson? Tyson!' she whispered.
Tyson grumbled incoherently then continued sleeping. Hilary tried again but came up whit the same result. Before the urge to kick the nazy haired teen overtook her, Ray seemed to sense and put a hand on her shoulder taking over. He leaned down next to Tysons ear.
'Tyon, Daichi is taking the last cookie!' he said.
He pulled back quickly, just avoiding getting head butted by Tyson who sat up quickly, fully awake.
'N-'
Hilary slapped her hand over his mouth before he could wake anyone. She and Ray looked around nervously. Kenny grumbled quietly and Max stirred. They watched the blonde haired blader with held breath. Max wrapped the blanket over his shoulder and remained asleep. Daichi hadn't even moved and continues snoring. Hilary and Ray let out a breath of relief. Tyson pulled Hilarys hand off his mouth and rubbed his eyes.
'What time is it?' he asked sleepily.
'Keep it down!' Hilary whispered.
'Five am,' Ray said quietly.
'FI- ahem, five am!' Tyson whispered incredelously. 'You guys can't be serious?'
Hilary gave Tyson a withering look.
'Of course we're serious!' she whispered impatiently, 'Now hurry up and get dressed! We need to leave!'
Tyson swallowed under her glare and nodded obediently.

Kai and Tala sittng limpy, propped up against the wall in their cells again, their hands shackled above their heads. They were totally exhausted and were in incredible pain. They had no energy left from all the battles they had fought. The beyblades that had been assigned to the the day before were both, to their great relief, destroyed by their opponants after the boys could no longer attack. They were able to pass out afer that. Boris had been furious. Kai and Tala's spirits were still holding strong stubbornly. Kai awoke weakly. He glanced sideways to Tala. He was still unconscious. It hurt even moving his eyes. Kai groaned in pain. Blood was escaping from a wound above his eye-brow, from inside his own mouth and from numerous injuries, new and old which had re-opened during the battles. He felt the hot, scarlet liquid trickle lightly over his split bottom lip.
What happened? I... I can hardly remember anything... I feel... so weak...
Broken fragments of yesterday's battles began to come back to him. He flopped his head back and gave a weak laugh.
My spirit... it's still intack... Heh... I bet Boris was real... pleased about that!
The smile disappeared from Kai's face. He gritted his teeth and looked over to his red-haired friend.
'T-Tala!'
Kai's voice was hoarse and his throat stung with each word and each breath. Tala stirred then awoke with a hoarse moan. Tala was also greatly injured and didn't move. The pain was just too overwhelming for either of them to bare. Tala spat out blood and put his head back grunting painfully. A small smile crossed his face.
'How many... battles did you... win?' he asked.
Kai smirked.
'All... except the last one.'
'Same...' Tala replied weakly, 'Looks like... it's a draw again! I'll win... next time though!'
'Not.. gonna happen!' Kai replied feebly.
They heard footsteps eching through though the prison. They recognised the sound of the stride immediatly. Boris walked into view. He stood outside the cell and looked down at them.
'You're awake at last,' he said silkily, 'It's about time.'
Kai and Tala glared loathfully at him. Kai grinned malevolently.
'You cover your rage well Boris,' he said, 'I'm surpised you're not in here with the whip, beating us because our souls are still with us. You continue to surprise me!'
Boris clenched his teeth then smiled sinisterly.
'It doesn't matter,' he said, 'You're pathetic spirit can't hold on forever! I can already see the early signs of its departure. Your eyes, both or your boys eyes, the light is fading from them. I also noticed in your blading, you were alot slower than usual, and tired fastr than usual, or was that just due to the collars?'
Kai and Tala growled angrily at him. They both still had the collars on their necks but the stickers and lines on their arms were gone.
'Give us back our personal beyblades and we'll show you just how departed our spirits are!' Tala growled
'Unless you're scared of course,' Kai added. 'You're not scared are you Boris?'
Boris sneered at them.
'Me? Scared of two half-dead punk teenagers?' he laughed, 'I don't think so!'
'Then prove it,' Kai said. 'Give us our blades back!'
'I'm not that foolish Hiwatari,' Boris said coldly, 'If I did that we could lose Dranzer or you could release it again, and we can't have that now can we? Wolborg is just as valuable. There is no way I am going to allow you two to ruin my plans when I have come so far already!'
'We've already ruined all your plans in the past,' Tala said, 'We'll do the same this time. It doesn't matter if you have Voltaire backing you.'
'We beat him before too,' said Kai.
'You honestly think you can beat us this time when there are two Losers backing the whole opperation?' Tala asked smirking. 'If you ask us, you haven't really come far at all.'
'It's been over three months and you still can't break our spirits,' said Kai, 'You've come to a screaching halt. All you've done is kidnap us and make mini weaker versions of our bitbeasts.'
'Weak is an understatement,' Tala added. 'I've battled amatures with more power! That was supposed to be your super army that you're going to take the world over with? Please, that Ming-Ming chick had more power than the lot of them!'
Boris chuckled softly.
'You fools,' he snickered, 'Those idiots aren't a part of the army! They are the test squad! They test all new equipment incase there are any flaws that could harm or potentially kill our soldiers. The test squad teenagers are expendable. We can afford to lse them!'
Kai and Tala looked at him in disgust.
'That's sick!' said Tala angrily.
Boris shrugged.
'I will leave you two now,you've wasted enough of my time,' he began walking away then stopped.
He looked at Kai and smirked.
'Oh yes, try and make yourselves look presentable, your grandfather, Master Voltaire is coming to see you both in a few hours. Bye boys.'
Tala and Kai looked at eachother.
'Voltaire is coming here to see us?' Tala asked.
'Strange,' said Kai quietly. 'I wonder why?'
----
Hilary, Tyson and Ray snuck quietly to the barred gate surrounding Voltaires mansion on the top of the hill. The sun tipped over the horizon casting a soft rose pink and baby blue light over the town. Two guards wearing thick black snow coats stood at the front of the gate to the drive way. From where they were behind a snow covered bush, Ray saw guns in their belts. Hilary patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the house. Ray and Tyson looked in the direction she'd pointed in and saw a person climbing into a limo. It was Voltaire.
'What kind of weirdo is awake at this time of the morning?' Tyson asked.
'Some one who doesn't want to be seen,' said Ray watching closely, referring to both Voltaire and themselves.
'How are we going to keep up with him?' Hilary asked, 'He's in a car! We're on foot.'
'They'll have to drive really slowly,' said Ray, 'Look at the road, there's around a foot of fresh snow covering. We'll be able to keep up as long as we're quick. And if we do get left behind, we'll just follow the tyre tracks in the snow. There aren't very many cars on the roads this early. It's almost barren. Here he comes.'
The limo drove down the driveway and out the gates which were held open by the two guards. The limo drove onto the rode, and like Ray had said, it was driving very slow. The three teens ran along side it, keeping out of sight.
----
Hilary and Tyson were getting really tired and were already lagging behind Ray.
'Come on you two!' he called back to them. 'We're behind the car!'
'Aren't you getting tired Ray?' Tyson asked.
'No,' he said honestly.
Hilary was behind them all. She fell in the snow breathing heavily, unable to go on. She suddenly felt some one pick her up onto their back. It was Tyson.
'Tyson? what are you doing?'
'Getting you to Kai! He'll kill me if he found out you collapsed in the snow and I didn't help you!'
Hilary smiled, 'Thank you! But arent you tired!'
'Yep,' he said,
'Hey you guys, look!' said Ray.
They looked ahead and saw the limo turn into a off-track street into a dark dead forest. The teens followed it until they saw a large building up ahead. The car went through some barred gates which closed behind it. There was a large sign which made Ray and Tyson stop in shock. In large bold letters, it said the words BALKOV ABBEY.
'No way!' Hilary heard Tyson say.
'Balkov Abbey? What's the big deal? What is this place?'
----
Kai and Tala waited until they heard brisk heavy footsteps coming down the hall. Voltaire suddenly appeared at their cell. He looked furious. Kai looked at him reproachfully.
'How did you do it!' Voltaire barked at him harshly.
'I don't know what you're on about old man,' said Kai honestly.
A guard opened the cell door and Voltaire walked in. He grabbed Kai by the throat and pulled him up to his feet. Kai felt like yelling in pain. Voltaire released hold of his throat and thrust him against the wall. Tala went to kick the evil Russian but the man kicked the red-haired teen in the stomache. He undid Kai's wrist chains from the wall so he would stand up straight, but Kai's wrists were still shackled together.
'Don't lie to me!' Voltaire said murderously. 'Tell me! How did you contact them!'
'Contact who!' Kai demanded.
'You better stop playing dumb with me boy!' said the adult.
'I'm not playing dumb with you, you stupid old man! I think senility has kicked in finally!'
Voltaire clasped his icy hand around Kai's throat again and squeezed. Kai gasped for breath, grabbing his grandfathers arm with his bound hands.
'How did you contact your friends! That old fool Dickenson and all those little beyblading friends of yours came to see me! There's no way they could have know unless either you contacted them or they contacted Russia! Now tell me Kai, why would they contact Russia in search of you?'
Kai's lungs felt like they were going to split. Tala had been restrained by guards. Voltaire, inraged by Kai's silence, began lifting the slate haired teen off the ground with incredible strength for an old man. Kai felt his feet leave the floor.
'All those bladers form that G Revolutions team and that Hilary girl are here! Tell me WHY!'
Hilary is here! Kai thought in shock, No! It's dangerous! She shouldn't be here! Not her or the others!
Kai was beginning to lose consciousness. Voltaire was squeezing the life from him!
