Ahhhh, I can't believe I did this. *Sighs* I seems in the rush of "Vacation" I somehow managed to end up deleting a big part that explained the question that Chaseha-Wing brought up. True it is a small little bit in the main gist of things but it is a fact that you might like to read it. If not the next chapter will be up soon. I am sooooo sorry for doing this though.

Happy Easter everyone!......................( )( ) ………………..
Here is my Easter reward for you ……..(=.=) ……………..

Ray's POV
********

I sat up slowly feeling the blood rush back to my head. Okay so I wasn't home but I wasn't in prison either so it was a start. I stood up, walking around without a real purpose. I seemed to do that a lot. I heard a noise coming from my left and decided it was better to follow them and find someone then to keep walking around the insanely large house with no idea as to where I was.

When I walked around the corner I spotted the source of the noise. A man was standing with his back to me, leaning against the island in the middle of the floor. His arms where crossed as he starred down a figure that stood in the doorway.

I sucked in a breath when I caught sight of the figure in the doorway. "Well done Alexei, they suspect nothing correct?" Alexei, I gritted my teeth. Alexei rubbed his temples. "Of course they suspect something. Kai doesn't trust me any longer and Ray never has. I thought helping them escape would be enough but Kai refuses to speak to me because I left Kagen and Ray hasn't been able to stay awake."

"That's fine as long as you keep them here long enough for us to execute part four of the plain then it really doesn't matter if they trust you or not." Alexei nodded slowly. "I haven't implanted the chips yet but after seeing how well they worked on Kagen I am interested to see what will happen when they are used on a spirit."

The figure nodded smiling. "So who are you going to try first? The tiger or the phoenix?" Alexei pushed his hair back. "Whichever one I can get first."

I backed up quickly, I had to find Kai and we had to get out of here fast. I bolted up the stairs, glancing in the rooms as I passed. I was almost down the hall only two more rooms left. I glance in the first and skid to a halt. One of the windows that took up almost the whole wall in the room was opened. A figure stood in it; arms crossed looking down at the world below. "Kai." I said out of breath.

He turned to face me his crimson eyes cool and removed. "Ray what are you doing up?" I take a deep breath and step into the room, standing beside him in the large window. "Kai, we need to get out of here ASAP. Your dad is working with Voltaire and they are planning something."

If I surprised Kai with this information he didn't show it. "I figured as much. Him showing up suddenly after a seven year hiatus is just to convent." He looked over at me. "How did you find out?" I bent down looking at the ground a floor below. "I overheard him talking to Leonid." "He's here?"

I nodded and looked up at Kai. "We have to go now." Kai nods and steps back with a running leap he jumps out the window landing on the ground with style. I smiled at him before leaping out myself, landing lightly on my feet. He rolled his eyes at me before taking off into the woods.

Guess it was time to see how much strength I had back. The woods flew by in a blur as we ran at full speed through them. "Where are we going?" I yelled as we took a sharp right. "I know a place." Kai yelled back before skidding to a halt, backtracking a few steps and turning left. "A place?" That didn't sound very reassuring. The woods ended abruptly, as we kept going another quick right though and we were back into the cover of the woods.

Kai slowed down dramatically as we got to the bottom of a large hill. The second I saw him stop I collapsed, feeling totally drained I laid back. "We're almost there." Kai said when he saw me fall. "Where is there?!" I said wanting to curl up and take another long nap. "There is a privet airport right up the top of this hill. A man use to work there for my mom."

I pulled myself to my feet pain flowing through me. "Alright do you think he will help us?" Kai nodded. "If he is still there he'll help us."

Kai's POV
********

I fell back onto the bed and pulled Dranzer from my pocket. I felt my nerves relax as I looked at Dranzer, she was part of me and I was part of her and that was how it was supposed to be. It made since when I took time to think about it that Ray was the same kid I had known when I was younger. As connected with Driger as Ray was it wouldn't make any since for it to be anyone else.

I looked over at my dresser, and my eyes locked on something I hadn't noticed when I had first woken up. Under all the books was a book unlike the rest. I walked over to the dresser and pulled the strange book out from underneath. A family portrait gracing the cover, the words Beloved inscribe beneath the picture.

I flipped the album open to the first page. It had a few pictures of Kagen and me. The first time I had ever taught Kagen how to beyblade, me and him at the lake house, our trip to the snow caps. I had forgotten so many of the things we had done together.

As I flipped through the book I saw pictures of us with our mother, I also noticed that any pictures of my father had been ripped out. Now that I remembered doing. On the next to last page there was a picture I didn't remember. A group of people all in their teen years, they looked happy to be there. I tried to I.D them and had mixed success.

The first person on the right I had no problems recognizing. A young man with crimson eyes and deep blue hair that could only have been my father, next to him a woman with the brightest blue eyes stood smiling her arm wrapped around the woman's next to her, that was my mother then I looked at the other woman. She was a petite woman, with long raven hair and bright amber eyes, taking a wild guess I assumed that was Ray's mother. Next to her was another I recognized the man that had been my father's only friend, the picture capturing the power in his golden eyes. After him was another man and woman, the girl had kind lavender eyes that looked oddly familiar, the man I noticed was Max's father. There was one other couple in the picture and after taking into account the others I assumed that they were most likely Tyson's parents. So it seemed all our families knew one another.

Flipping the page for the last time I saw the last photo. It was a picture taken at the park the year before my mother died. She was hugging me and Kagen close with a smile that I missed more than anything in this world. The captions under it made my heart twist. "My beloved boys care for one another, I love you."

She had made this when she had gotten so sick. I stood up and walked out my bedroom door, strait into the room beside mine. I looked around the room running my hand over the dust covered dresser. I froze as it ran over my brother's first blade, the one I had helped him build. I picked it up, turning it over in my hands. I felt Dranzer heat up in my pocket. Pulling her out of my pocket, I placed her in the same hand as my brother's. The two blades glowed as they were united.

I put both blades into my pocket; soon my brother and I would be united as well. I walked over to the window throwing it open to get some air. The window was almost as long as the wall, so I stepped onto the sill. Once upon a time me and Kagen had sat here and came up with different Beyblade strategies while watching the sun set. Stepping into it I crossed my arms looking down at the earth below as we had so many times before.

I heard the fall of footsteps hammer up the steps, and skid to a halt in front of the door. "Kai," I heard Ray say out of breath. I turned around to face him keeping my face calm. "Ray what are you doing up?" Ray took a deep breath and came to stand beside me in the window, I turned back to face the outside as he stepped up beside me. "Kai, we need to get out of here ASAP. Your dad is working with Voltaire and they are planning something."

Shocker, shocker really my psycho dad was planning something. I avoided showing this on my face however, points to me. "I figured as much. Him showing up suddenly after a seven year hiatus is just to convent." Then I thought of something how did Ray know what my dad was planning. "How did you find out?"

Ray bent down no doubt trying to decide if it was too far a jump. "I overheard him talking to Leonid." "He's here?" Ray looked up at me and nodded. "We have to go now." I nod, finally someone with some common sense. I take a few steps back before running forward. Taking a leap from the window I land on the ground a story below having a little trouble landing on my feet but over all pulling it off. Ray smiles at me before disappearing into the room and leaping out. He landed without problem barely making a sound when he landed. I couldn't help rolling my eyes.

I took off without a word; we had to get out as quickly as we possibly could. I realized that, that would be easier said than done for Ray but I trusted he could do it. As I took a sharp right I heard Ray's voice. "Where are we going?" "I know a place." I yelled back as I skidded to a halt and took a right. The truth was I hadn't thought that far ahead, but I had learned to always act like there was a plain. "A place?" I heard Ray ask, okay so he wasn't buying it.

We broke out of the woods and like that I had a real plain aiming myself back towards the woods to our right and like that we were there. I slowed down quickly trying to decide how to handle the situation. No sooner had I stopped then I heard a loud thump. I turned around and saw Ray collapsed on the ground breathing heavily. "We're almost there." "Where is there?" Ray asked clearly not wanting to have to move. "There is a privet airport right up the top of this hill. A man use to work there for my mom." Ray pulled himself to his feet, obviously still in pain. "Alright do you think he will help us?" I nodded not wanting to say what I was really thinking but saying it anyways. "If he is still there he'll help us."

Normal POV
**********

Alexei sighs heavily. "What's wrong Alexei; you're not having second thought are you?" Alexei glared at Leonid. "Yes I am. I already gave you one of my sons why must you have both! After everything that you have taken from me, you still want both of my sons." Leonid lets out a low chuckle as he pushes back the hood of his clock. "What have we ever taken from you Alexei? The only thing that was ever taken from you was never yours to begin with. Besides it was your orders that took her from you."

Alexei flinches back at the memory. "I didn't know what you were doing. If I had ever known I would have stopped you myself." Leonid stops laughing and turns very serious. "Tell me Alexei do you want to know a secret?" Alexei narrowed his eyes at the man. "What secret?"

Leonid smiles at a joke only he can see. "Izabella was far too good for you and do you want to know what is worse. You didn't even love her, you were too hung up on wanting your own friend's wife to care that your own wife was in pain. Kai is right when he says that you are who killed Izabella, it was your useless love for that worthless niko-jin that killed dear Izabella. You left her alone to raise your children and to deal with your father." Alexei grabs the other man by the neck and lifts him off the ground.

"Shut the hell up you pawn." Leonid laughed as he grabbed onto Alexei's hand forcing him free.

"I may be a pawn but at least I didn't murder my own wife and the one I loved. It was your weakness that killed Izabella. The secret is that she would still be here if you had done as Voltaire had commanded and killed that bitch Mei with your own hands, but your weak love for her prevented you from doing that. So you sent me instead thinking that that would please your father. But the truth is all that did is anger him farther. He murdered her Alexei. Izabella was far too strong to lose her life to some illness; your father murdered her because you cared more for the enemy then your own wife."

Alexei felt his whole world crash in. He had murdered Mei, lost Kagen and now had murdered Izabella as well. "You're lying!" He hissed, Leonid laughed at Alexei's attempt to convince himself of the inevitable truth. "Tell me what I would have to gain from that. You killed Mei, you killed Izabella and now you have condemned your youngest son to death as well." Alexei's eyes shoot up to the man's face.

"What are you talking about?! What have you done to my son?" Leonid opened the backdoor. "Me? Nothing. You? Everything. That override program you so kindly inserted into his brain was a virus, Voltaire is going to use it to bring Kai back forever by telling him that Kagen will die if he doesn't."

Alexei shook his head. "It will never work Kai is smarter than that." Leonid shrugs his shoulders. "Maybe but unlike you he doesn't want the blood of those he loves to be smeared all over his hands. The truth is however there is no cure for that virus; Kagen will die regardless of Kai's decision all thanks to his loving daddy." Alexei bitts down hard. "Why are you doing this?" Leonid smiled. "Because I enjoy seeing people suffer. Oh and by the way when you see him again tell Shun I said hi and that his son will soon be back in my care." Leonid laughed again as he closed the door behind him.

Kai's POV
********

We walked up the hill to the airport that sat at the top. It took me a moment to reorientation myself with the small place. "Where do we go from here?" I heard Ray asked and I walked over to a small building. Pushing open the door to find a man sitting in the chair behind the desk, he was a young man in his early twenties; he had a hat pulled over his split colored eyes, getting on Voltaire's bad side never ended well for anyone. "We're closed! So get out!" I rolled my eyes he was like that to everyone, well everyone except my mother. "Justin." I said.

He pulled the hat away and smiled. "Well if it isn't little Kai." He glanced at Ray. "And who is your friend?" I glared at him. "Cut it Justin. We need a ride out of Russia and you are the only person I can trust." Justin stood up stretching out. "Oh and why is that?" I crossed my arms. "Because you would never betray my mother."

That got his attention, "Alright you, you have me there I can't betray your mothers trust. Damn I guess that means I got to fly you and your friend don't I?" I nodded. "Alright where to?" I hadn't thought that far ahead. "To China." I heard Ray say abruptly, I turned to look at him, he seemed determined. "Alright China." I said not bothering to ask Ray why. Then Ray spoke again. "Um, Justin right?" Justin nodded. "We need a phone to make a call real fast." "A phone?" Justin asked and then he smiled. "Why so you can tell you girlfriend you are coming." I rolled my eyes God could he be immature. "No," Ray said not finding the humor in it, he looked at me. "So we can call the others."

"Fine but you are doing all the talking."

Ray's POV
********

I finished punching in the emergency number that Mr. D had given us all in case anything ever happened. I assumed being kidnapped, tortured and taken to Russia would fall under emergency.

Kai was standing right behind me waiting for me to break the news to the others. It took three rings before.

"Hello?" A voice called, it didn't take me long to figure out who it was.

"Hey Mr. Dickenson."

"Who is this? How did you get this number? This is a secure line that is only to be used in emer-"

"Mr. D it's me Ray." I heard the other line go dead for a moment and I worried that I had lost him.

"Ray? Oh thank heavens. Are you alright, we have all been worried sick about-" Mr. Dickinson is cut off mid-thought by a very loud mouth navy haired boy.

"Ray!" Tyson yelled.

"Hey Tyson." I heard some clicking and figured that I had been put on speaker phone.

"Ray where are you? Are you alright? Is Kai with you?" Max said his voice lined with worry.

"I am fine and yes Kai is with me and he is fine to. I can't tell you where we are or where we are going."

"What why not?" Tyson wined over the phone.

"Don't worry Tyson we will meet back up soon enough alright. I just wanted to make sure you guys weren't too worried."

"Ray my boy are you sure you are alright? I can have someone come pick you up." Mr. Dickenson said. I took a deep breath.

"I'm sure I am fine. I'll see you guys soon. Bye." I hung up before anyone could say anything to change my mind.

"Well that was a disaster." I said under my breath. Kai closed his eyes and walked away. Figured Kai would react like that, he didn't want me to call the others in the first place, smug little. I cut that train of thought short, no point.

We walked towards the landing strip. Justin had went ahead to prep the plane for takeoff. "Is Shun Kon your father?" I stopped dead in my tracks, my mouth slightly open. Had he really just asked that? "Um what?" Kai stopped and turned back to face me, his face set.

"IS Shun Li Kon your father or not?" I close my mouth glaring at him. "Very tactful Kai, but since you asked yes Shun Li was my father, just like Alexei is yours and before you ask yes it was me that you meet all those years ago." Kai nodded, not even fazed by my glare.

"I thought so just had to be sure." We started walking again and I decided it was my turn to ask a personal question. "What ever happened to your mom?" Kai unlike me didn't stop he didn't even turn to face me. "She died a long time ago, from a strange illness that a cure was never found for."

Somehow the news hurt to hear, I knew that she was dead. Somehow hearing it out loud put such finality that it hurt. We made it to the plane just as Justin finished prepping the plane. Kai stopped and looked me dead in the eyes.

"Ray I didn't ask before but why are we going to China?" I smiled weakly at Kai; I knew he would ask eventually. For someone who loved keeping people in the dark he sure hated being left there himself.

"Tomorrow is the six year marker of the end of the war and the six year anniversary of my father's death. I haven't been home since either happened at this time." I saw Kai nod. I knew he understood that was why I couldn't tell the others though. Because they would want to understand and try to help and I couldn't handle anymore help because all help had ever caused me was more pain.

We loaded into the plane and sat down on opposite sides. I looked out the window behind me, watching the world fly by in a flurry of colors. I glanced over crowds walking aimlessly down city streets, cars blowing the horns at other drivers, Soon enough though we were up in the clouds, far away from the reaches of humanity.

I looked back forward not wanting to look out the window as we ascended; I bit down on my lip. "Ray your freaking out." Kai was leaning back his eyes closed, how had he known I was panicky. "I'm fine," I lied and I saw Kai open his eyes. "You hate planes right?"

How had he known? I had hated them since I was a little kid, or right duh it was a trip with his family that I started hating planes. After Voltaire had tried to lock me in the luggage compartment and then relies the luggage. "Yeah I hate planes, just a bad a memory thing you know. " Kai nodded and leaned his head back. I couldn't tell if he was being friendlier or just pumping me for information on what happened in my past. I guess I was doing the same to him, oh well at least it was mutual.

"Hey you two this flight is going to take somewhere around 7 and a half hours so I suggest you get conferrable and get some rest. I am going to stop half way and we are going to stay there for the night. So it shouldn't be too bad. So just relax and enjoy the ride." Justin says over the intercom. Seven hours on a plane, god I hated planes. You would think after three years on the Bladebreakers I would be use to flying, but seven hours. "I think I am going to take his advice and go take a nap." The truth was I had wanted a nap since before we got to the airport.

Kai didn't respond and I wondered if he was already asleep, whatever. I walked back into the planes sleeping quarters, my eyes widening when I spotted something thrown on one of the beds. A black bag with a note scrawled on a piece of paper that read 'Let's see you raise from this you damn phoenix." Shit, I ran back into the sitting area. Kai's eyes creaking open.

"Kai I really hope you can grow wings." He opened his eyes all the way at this and raised one eyebrow just enough to show his interest."Why?" I glanced back at the sleeping quarters. "Because we are about to be blown sky high otherwise."

Kai's POV
********

The second I heard Ray run back into the sitting room I knew something was wrong. I pried my eyes open slightly. "Kai I really hope you can grow wings." What the heck? I open my eyes all rising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Why?" I asked bluntly, I saw he glance back at the sleeping quarters. "Because we are about to be blown sky high otherwise." I sat forward, what had he just said? "What are you talking about?"

He grabbed me and dragged me back to the sleeping quarters; I saw a black bag thrown on my bed. I picked up the note that was attached to the front of it. 'Let's see you raise from this you damn phoenix' I ripped open the bag to find a bunch of wires all connected to a central timer that was counting down. We had three minutes remaining before the plane went up in smoke.

I saw Ray reach for the bag and grabbed his hand just in time. "Kai what are you doing?" I looked back at the bag. "Only one group would ever refer to me as the Phoenix and that group has some very dangerous toys." I saw the questioning look across his face and took a deep breath before explaining. "Voltaire makes bombs that detonate upon touch. In other words they set the timer and leave it and if someone comes along and tries to get rid of it the thing blows early." I saw his eyes widen as he realized just how very screwed we were.

I ran out of the sleeping quarters with Ray on my heels as we made our way to the cockpit. I threw the door open making enough noise to wake the dead. "Hey you two can't be here. Get-" I cut into his thoughts. "There is a bomb on the plane and it is going to detonate in three minutes, less now actually." I saw Justin's eyes widen. "Shit." He muttered understatement much. "Come on you two now." He set the plane to auto-pilot and ran into the back. I hoped he had an in case of bomb plan, but it was Justin.

Normal POV
**********

A figure stood on the crest of a large hill watching as the plane rose out of sight. A hood hung low over its face, as a smile crossed the figures face. "Let's see you survive this chosen one." The figure grabbed its bag from the ground, pulling out a small notepad that had been used to write the condemning note to the phoenix. The figure scribbled another note onto the pad; this one was quite different and would serve a much bigger purpose. The figure pushed back its hood, dark bangs falling into cold blue eyes.

"It's time to die Kai Hiwatari." Kagen smiled at the thought, he only wished that he could see the two-toned boys face when he died. He wanted to see his 'brother' suffer they way he had been suffering for years. They had made him to punish the disobedient Hiwatari and now he was going to exact the revenge that he had craved for so long, but that his stupid emotions had prevented him from taking. It was just pay back for all the pain that the phoenix had caused him. He was glad to watch the elder boy die in a fiery blaze fitting for the eternal phoenix's end.

As he gazed at the sky he saw a bright blaze erupt from the clouds. Bits of plane falling from the sky as the blazing inferno that had once been a plane rained down on the world below. "Well Brother it's been real, but I am running this show now." He picked up the bag, slinging it over his shoulder; he felt something in his pocket heat up with satisfaction.

He pulls out the black and red blade of Black Dranzer. Its energy growing as its light counterpart burned into oblivion. "Now that that is done, I think it's time we enter the Beybladeing circuit don't you my friend?" Black Dranzer heated up again in delight. The boys dark bangs flew over his eyes as he turned his view back to the blazing wreckage. "Just two spirits left."

********
A/N

Please no one kill me! For whatever reason I gave you to kill me in this chapter.

Hmmm alright that went better than I thought I would.

So what do you think is going to happen?

I really hope I can get this next chapter done fast.

Chaseha-Wing: You are so right Ray's dad's beast. I don't know I think Voltaire could be good competition for his son in the worse father ever category.

Anyhow Thanks for reading
