RTC: Don't kill me, guys! It was the writer's block! (Begs on hands and knees for forgiveness.) I wanted to update sooner but that was impossible because I couldn't write this chapter well. I actually had to rewrite it; the first attempt stank! Here are the review responses:
Iluvbeyblade: Yeah, I meant for Kai's temperature to be that high; that's basically why they needed to fly out of Moscow so urgently. I needed a good reason to have them fly out but it had to be something a person could live with for a few hours. (I wanted to do a bleeding episode, but Kai would probably be dead by the time help came.) Like Kai, I'm addicted to coffee (mmm, coffee), so that's where that came from. I'm still suffering form writer's block, but I'm trying to get back to updating once a week.
Phoenix from the flames 1978: Wow, thanks. I'm at a lose for words, I'm so touched. (Gets teary eyed just reading your review.)
BloOdY-JoKeR: Don't worry, the romance will be minimal.
jellybean-kitty: Sorry about the updating speed lately. I'm going to try to update sooner and I'm posting another fic which you can read in between this one, if you like.
RTC: (Sees everyone grouped together.) What's going on?
Ray: Well, you know how Kai and Tyson were fighting?
RTC: Yeah, what's your point?
Ray: Um, Tyson decided to replace the coffee with a chemical that would make Kai squeak when he talked. Only, he messed up and replaced it with something that'll turn Kai into a chibi.
RTC: Kai's a chibi!
Kai: (Jumps on Ray.) Gimme a piggyback ride!
RTC: Oh, boy. Someone do the disclaimer while I try to find a solution. BTW, this chapter has a lot of POV switching, so watch out for the bold print to tell you who's POV it is.
Max: Ray-Tiger-Cat wishes she owned Beyblade but still doesn't.

More Insanity
Max's POV
Early the next morning, we went to see Kai. He was still tied to the bed, but he looked tired instead of mad.
"What are you doing here?" was Kai's greeting.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean, why aren't you guys training?" he said with a stern look.
"You've been really sick and you had us really worried the past few days. Of course we want to keep an eye on you," Kari said.
"Don't you get it? Biovolt would do anything to get rid of us. You must train; not just your blading skills, but your strength, endurance and mental abilities too," Kai informed us.
"Well, Tyson's got the mental part down. He belongs in an institution," Daichi said, lightning the mood considerably. Tyson and Daichi started another stupid argument which we're all ignoring.
"So, do you want us to leave?" Ray asked.
"Yes, but do some training, okay?"
"Are you sure you'll be alright alone?" Hillary asked. "Won't you be lonely?" Kai just gave her this look.
"Do you want anything before we leave?" I asked.
"Take these stupid restraints off!"
"Sorry, no can do," Tyson said, now that he was done with his stupid fight. "Bye, Dude."
"Hey, can I lead the training?" I asked when we were outside.
"I guess," Ray said, "What do you have in mind?"
"Let's go to Central Park! There's always something to do there!" I replied. As soon as we got there, I gave the first order. "2 laps 'round the park!"
"But Max, this park is huge!" Daichi whined.
"Want to make it three?" I asked.
"Who gave him sugar?" Tyson muttered.
Several hours and a lot of training later, we went back to the hospital.
"Kai, you're up!" Kari squealed, "Do the doctors know?" she added suspiciously. Kai was sitting up and looked much better.
"Yeah, they know," he replied.
"Guess you're happy to be free," Daichi remarked.
"Kai can be happy? I didn't think he could crack a smile," Dizzi retorted, as Kenny had turned on his laptop.
"Free? I'm still stuck here!" Kai responded, choosing to ignore Dizzi.
"Well thanks to you, we've spent the whole day being trained by a sugar high Max," Tyson complained.
"Hn."
"Would it kill you to answer properly? And while we're 'talking', I might as well say this; why don't you tell us what we're up against? What happened when you were MIA? You're really starting to piss me off, Kai! How are we supposed to trust you!" Tyson yelled and stormed off. A look of anger crossed Kai's face.
"Well, at least I'm not a total lazy idiot who can't do anything right!"
"Kai, don't get worked up," Kari cautioned.
"He didn't mean that. You know Tyson. We'll be back tomorrow afternoon after training and thins will be fine," Ray said, dragging us out the door.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"Kai and Tyson are both under pressure and they're too stubborn to apologize. They just need time to cool off," he replied.
Ray's POV
The fight was on everyone's minds. We're all wondering why Kai isn't telling us things. Unfortunately, Tyson has put several unanswerable questions into our heads. Who even knew Tyson could use his brain to think them up. Max decided that we shouldn't visit Kai in the morning; we all needed time to cool off. We were in the park, eating lunch, when the three bladers from Moscow dropped out of the trees.
"What do you want?" Tyson demanded.
"You really should know that by now. We want your heads on sticks and to capture your bitbeasts," one of them replied. "We've already got Kai."
"Now it's your turns!" another said, spraying gas that knocked up out.
When I woke up, I found myself in a forest. I was definitely not in New York anymore.
"Guys! Is anyone there? Can you hear me?" I shouted. I was utterly alone.
Tyson's POV
Trees and more trees. I'm in a forest somewhere, but I can hear running water. Probably a river. Wait, what's that? I hear another sound. It's so familiar. It's a beybattle! That probably means that one of my friends is nearby and I start running towards the sound.
Kari's POV
How the heck did I wind up in this mess! I woke up and the first thing I saw was a blader with a blade, on its launcher, aimed directly ay me. Luckily, I was fast enough to avoid the blade when he launched it.
"Go Dranzelia!" I commanded as I launched my blade. The two blades smashed into each other and sparks flew. The guy threw himself at me and knocked me to the ground. I tried to shove him off, but he was much heavier than me. Just then, I heard a rustle in the bushes. At first I thought it was his allies, but then I realized they wouldn't take the liberty of sneaking around when I was down. Tyson burst though the bushes and tackled the guy. I guess he wasn't prepared to take on two people, so he ran off.
"Need a hand?" Tyson asked, offering me a hand up. I took it.
"Have you seen the others?" I asked him.
"Nope. Are you okay?" he said.
"Yeah, thanks," I replied and Tyson gaped at me. "What are you staring at?" I glared.
"Sometimes you remind me so much of Kai but then you'll do something he never would," Tyson said.
"We're twins, not clones," I shot. It annoys me that people automatically assume I'm just like Kai. I love my brother, but it gets annoying.
"Sorry," Tyson said tentatively," Can I ask a question? Why do you and Kai hate me so much?"
"We don't. It's just that you usually say the wrong thing," I replied, "Come on, we should look for the others. Just then we heard a scream.
"I think that was Hilary! We'd better hurry!" Tyson yelled, clearly worried about his crush. (Well, he won't admit it, but we all know it's true!)
Hilary's POV
Don't look down, don't look down, don't look DOWN!
I've just done the stupidest thing of my life and now I've hurt my ankle and I'm sitting on a ledge halfway up a cliff! I'm stuck!

RTC: Well, I hope you liked the chapter, since it took me forever to do. I need you help with one thing; I need a guy's name that starts with Dy. (It rhymes with buy.) I'm going to stop saying three reviews before I update because my friend, Flash Phoenix, said it sounded desperate and basically stupid. However, if I don't get three reviews I'll probably be too hurt to update anyway, so keep reviewing, please. I'm posting another fic- Blast from The Past and it's about the Kai's dad life (mostly his childhood). You could consider it a prequel to this fic because a lot of things in that plot will affect some things in this plot.
Kari: I don't believe she's doing this. Two fics for torturing me and my family? I don't have enough power as her muse, do I?
Kai: Will you give me a ride? I want a lolly, please!
RTC: Guess I'd better go fix this, bye!
