Sorry guys, my wi-fi went down so it took me a while to finally get this up. But here it is.

Last Time in THE MANSION…..

Boris just walked in the shadows, looking at the empty hallways he passed. He reached a dusty one and looked at the number of footprints on the floor. There were three sets, two of which looked fresh. 'It looks as though I shall kill the two that entered here first then. Only afterwards would Kai feel guilty. Damn boy has loyalty, but only towards the wrong people.'

-Kenny Point Of View-

Emily and I just looked at all of the paintings and pictures in the hallway. They were dated by year, and almost all of Kai's ancestors were in the hall. I turned to look at the handiwork of the frames, when Emily approached me. She placed a hand on my shoulder, causing me to turn around. I looked at her and she just smiled. Her hair had regained its shine and her eyes were no longer blood shot.

"Kenny, look around here. Kai has a hallway full of memories and there was one set of footprints when we entered here, so he must have been here recently."

"Emily, if we follow the footsteps, we will find a way out. You're a genius!" I exclaimed. Emily pulled me forwards, closer towards her and our lips collided. We pulled away a minute later.

"I know," her voice was a dull whisper, "I love that about me too."

I just grabbed her hand in mine and started laughing. She laughed alongside me and we followed the last set of footsteps out of the hallway. Not noticing how we were being followed.

-Kai Point Of View-

Kai walked forward and everyone followed him. No one questioned his authority as they walked with each other. Tyson spoke up, "Kai, how do you take authority and just walk like nothing happened."

"Tyson, don't be asking Kai stupid questions, he's a born leader. You can't change that about him." Ian piped up from somewhere in the back.

There was a general silence as everyone walked forward. Kai stopped everyone and turned to face them all. "There's the front door, don't let it hit you on the way out. Your personal items will be paid for and you will all receive money to replace those items." Kai sullenly glanced at the door. He walked forwards, waiting for the sounds of the door opening and closing. He heard it open and turned to see who had left. Rick was running out the front door.

"Kai", Rei said coming forward, placing a hand on his shoulder. Kai didn't even flinch. "we are your friends, and friends stand by each other till the end. We won't let you face this on your own."

CRASH! The front door burst open and a woman was the only thing visible through the shattered wood. "I'm here for the bastard."

"Who?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Me" Kai just said walking towards the woman. He turned to look directly in her hazel eyes. "It's been too long, Raven."

-Raven Point Of View-

Raven laughed, her laughter tinkling through the hallway as she brushed the wood off her leather jumpsuit. "That's auntie Raven to you, Kai. Or did hanging around these dumbass bladers get rid of your manners?"

Kai snorted and looked in her eyes once again. "I'm the one you want, so let them go. Me for them. It's a good deal and you know it."

Kenny and Emily burst into the front foyer, both with a faint blush on their cheeks.

"Ugghhh," Raven drawled out, "Who are the nerds?"

When no one answered, she took a gun out and placed it at the side of Kai's head. "I won't kill you yet." she said to Kai. She watched as no panic hit his features, but panic and fear graced everyone else's. She put her gun down and grabbed a knife. Slowly she plunged it into Kai's arm, watching as he tried not move.

Turning the gun towards the rest of the bladers she faced them. There was a fire in her eyes and the only thing she said to them was. "Basement, now." They all nodded their heads, and looked down as Kai led them there. Before Kai left though, she twisted the knife twice, and then yanked the knife out of his arm, staring in awe as the crimson fluid poured through the hole in his arm.

-Boris Point Of View-

I followed the two nerds out of the hallway, deciding not to kill them yet. They would be useful to BIOVOLT. They ran forwards, towards the front foyer and I made a sharp turn to the left. I would head for the basement and wait for Raven to bring them. Then Kai could see the consequences for having friends. His loyalty would be to Voltaire.

Boris watched as the bladers entered the basement one by one. Kai was the first one down there and everyone followed suit. The last person down was Raven. She walked towards Boris and placed a hand on his fore-arm. "Boris darling" she purred, "the bastard has been misbehaving."

Boris just nodded his head. "Love, tie the others up so they can see what friendship does." Raven nodded her head in agreement and walked towards the remaining children. Kai was standing still as Raven tied everyone up and shoved them against the wall. Boris walked towards Kai and gripped his injured shoulder. Kai stayed silent. Boris cleared his throat.

"Friendship causes betrayal, it causes pain, and it wekens your senses Hiwatari." Boris ripped the binding off of Kai's shoulder fast, exposing the bloody wound to everyone. He threw the bandages towards Raven, who cut them in half and went to the wall. "It causes the mighty to fall, and the stupid to rise." Boris pushed Kai towards the wall and laughed. "Kai, your grandfather left you this house, no? Have you had a chance to explore this house?"

-Kai Point Of View-

Kai just stayed silent, the blood still flowing out of his arm. In the middle of the room were shackles, and beams. Everyone gasped in horror and Kai quickly back-kicked Boris, making him crumple in a heap on the floor. Kai walked towards the side of wall and pressed a button. Raven walked forward to the other side and glared at the bladers. They stared at the ceiling until the heard a metallic whirring. A pane of black glass slid down and Tala started to scream.

"Kai, don't be stupid! The wall is only going to hurt you more!"

Kai just grimly turned away, his bangs covering his crimson eyes. No one noticed the single tear rolling down his cheek. 'Tala, this time you guys can escape. I have Boris and Raven beside me. They won't hurt you. Not as long as I am alive.'

Soooo what do you guys think? Read and write in the review.
