Hi again thanks for reading and reviewing,

Disclaimer I do not own beyblade

The Blade Breakers stood at the docks looking out over the water. Kai was standing at a little distance from the others his scarf flowing out behind him, he was silent and staring as per usual. The last few hours had been torture for him he had been unable to get the image of Hilary's suffering out of his head. He had replayed the DVD time and time again trying to get some sort of signal from Hilary, he didn't know what he expected to see and in the end he had given up frustrated. Looking at the horizon he could see a boat approaching, he glared at it hatred causing him to ball his hands into fists so tight that his fingers were white. As the boat moved closer and he could see the crew, they were men maybe women it was hard to tell, they were dressed entirely in grey and their helmets covered their faces, you couldn't even make out a hair colour. Kai moved over to the others,

"Whatever happens we stay together guys. Let me do the talking"

"Kai's doing the talking? It's going to be a quiet day." Tyson gave a laugh, it was obvious that his adrenaline was on a high.

"Don't get cocky Tyson, one false move and this could all go horribly wrong" Ray looked grim as he stared out into the ocean.

"Kai's right" Kenny said slowly "about the not talking, God knows how wrong this could all go" They watched as the boat made its way up to the harbour beside them. One of the crew jumped across and landed beside them,

"You are the Blade Breakers" Kai stared at him the others remained silent waiting for Kai to respond

"We are" he was as short with him as he could be, being unable to see the mans face unnerved him somewhat.

"Boris is waiting for you"

"How is Hila… I mean how are the prisoners?"

"The prisoners are living. For now. You have your bit beasts?"

"We do" Kai and the others silently prayed that they would not ask for proof of this fact

"Good, if this was not the case those prisoners would not be alive much longer" though Kai could not see the guards face but he could hear the smirk in his words. He wanted to rip that mans head off helmet and all. "Follow me."

They watched as the other men carefully lowered a gangplank and after a slight pause they all walked slowly onto the boat followed by the obnoxious man. It moved slowly out of the harbour and then sped up as they got out into the open water there was no going back now.

"Gentlemen!" Boris smiled and opened his arms wide as though to welcome them, "how good to see you all again"

"Cut the crap Boris" Kai stood in front of the team and glared at the man "Where is she?"

"Where is she? Don't you mean where are they?"

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that we will get them all back!"

"Kai Hiwatari I believe you have gotten soft" Kai walked forward and grabbed Boris's collar, snarling he pushed him up against the wall and held him there, it had been a while since he last saw Boris and now he was a head taller than him and stronger than he could ever hope to be.

"Does this seem soft to you?" the guards ran forward, it took five of them to pull Kai away from the man. Boris did not seem at all affected by this in fact he seemed to enjoy it.

"I guess I was wrong, but if that's the case then I guess I can tell my men to take little miss Tatibana and have some fun" Kai held down by at least eight men now yelled with rage,

"If anyone has laid a hand on her, you will pay" he hissed the threat, his eyes filled with hatred

"You know I preferred you when you never showed your feelings" Boris smiled evilly "but then this new emotional Kai may be easier to beat." he turned and addressed one of the few guards not holding Kai down. "In half an hour bring them to the beystadium" Boris turned and strode out of the room chuckling as he went

Mariah Rick Hiro and Hilary were standing in a cell it had a large glass front to it and looked out over a beydish

"This looks familiar" Hilary grumbled

"What do you mean?"

"When I first sort of discovered beyblading Kenny and I got kidnapped. We ended up in a cell very much like this, Tyson had to battle for our release"

"You really, do get all the luck don't you" Mariah grinned

"No kidding the stuff I have been through with the Blade Breakers makes what these guys are doing now look like party games"

"Well you may enjoy this but I for one don't" Rick looked around he started to punch the glass but nothing happened. He got angrier he liked to be in control and this captive situation was not helping.

"Its strong stuff, I wouldn't bother" Hiro looked around, "What's this for?" In the top left hand corner of the room there was a pipe he walked forward to examine it.

"I don't like the look of it!" Rick walked over to join Hiro, the pipe occasionally dripped water slowly onto the floor below. They all slowly examined the pipe and were so occupied when the Blade Breakers walked into the stadium.

"Mariah!" Ray was the first one to notice the people behind the glass and he ran forwards practically hitting the window in his hurry to get there.

"Ray!" Mariah turned and pushed her hands up against the glass. They stared at each other silently

"Rick are you ok?"

"Been better Max, thanks for coming"

"Like there was any chance we wouldn't" Max grinned giving Rick a thumbs up gesture.

"Hiro you OK big Bro?"

"Fine Tyson, but you shouldn't have come here"

"Hiro you're my brother of course I came" the two brother nodded to each other "Besides Gramps would've killed me if I hadn't" Hilary watched these reunions smiling

"You all took your time!" Hilary tried to sound at ease as she made this joke but the slight wobble in her voice betrayed her. She was still in pretty bad shape, Mariah had cleaned up her wounds but the scars and bruises still littered her body.

"Are you OK?" Kai stared directly into her eyes, for the first time since she had first met him Hilary felt like a stranger to him. He was staring at her so intently she felt afraid.

"I'm OK, they don't scare me." she smiled to reassure them

"Same old Hilary" he smiled at her, Don't let them take that away from me.

"Have they hurt any of you besides Hilary?" Kenny looked at them Hilary seemed to be the only one who had been harmed

"No we're all OK" Hiro looked down at Kenny smiling Kenny may be taller now but he is still the shortest member of the team (including Hilary)

"Good when we escape from here we'll probably need to be pretty fast on our feet"

"Escape what do you mean? Boris said you were battling for our freedom"

"He also asked us to make sure we had all four bit beasts"

"Do you not have Dranzer?" Mariah stared at them all, the Blade breakers looked down at their feet unsure of how to answer that.

"Without Dranzer we're as good as dead" Rick walked over to the wall and kicked hard, Mariah began to cry as the Blade Breakers looked at each other helplessly.

OK not a great chapter, but the story is moving along, Kai is a bit OOC but I always thought he had a lot of anger in him it just never showed.

I will be putting up another one tonight as long as my laptop continues to work.
