A huge thank-you to Little A Granger, adbhut and Tyka's flower for inspiring me to keep going with this fic :) A huge thank-you to all my readers! I love you all!

I'm posting this a little early because my daughter's birthday is this weekend and not entirely sure when I'll have time to update. I hope you enjoy chapter 8!


"Kai! You need to see this!" while the panic and worry in the mousey boy's voice was nothing out of the ordinary; calling for him was. Usually the little genius called for Tyson. Slowly getting out of his armchair, he made his way over to the brunette whom was sitting with his legs stretched out on the couch, his computer on his lap. "You got an email from Kusenov." Kai raised a grey eyebrow as the sinking feeling of dread knotted his stomach.

"Let's see."

It was a video. Once Kenny scanned it for viruses and deemed it as safe, they opened it.

To their horror, on the screen showed beaten, broken, bloodied and bruised to almost beyond the point of recognition were Tala, Spencer and Bryan. All three of them were tied to chairs in some sort of interrogation room.

Kai clenched his fists. He would make Kusenov pay dearly for this.

In the video, stepping out from the shadows, Boris appeared in all his evil glory. Both Kai and Kenny gasped in shock, Kai turning several shades whiter.

"Ah, don't look so surprised Young Kai, you should've known that one day I would return and seek my revenge after you and Tyson humiliated me." His calm features turned wicked. "But Mr. Kusenov has generously offered me a wonderful deal in this project of his. Now our demands." He turned around and shot Spencer in the leg, the blonde's scream pierced Kai's heart. "You have 48 hours to give up Hiwatari Enterprises before I decide to start killing off Blitzkrieg Boyz. If you decide not to come out after that, we will start grabbing other teams and slowly kill them off one by one, until you come to your senses."

The screen went black and Kenny looked up at the Russian's shaking form, his bangs covering his face. "Kai?" he asked tentatively.

Tyson appeared in the doorway with solemn look on his face. He had heard everything. Bravely, he went up to his rival and pulled him into a tight embrace.

"He's- He's got Tala, Tyson." Kai said in a voice that was barely above a whisper.

"I know. We'll get him and the other guys back, okay?" Tyson said soothingly. "We have 48 hours to take them down. I know that by working together we can do it!" his voice got low and dangerous. "And we'll make them pay for hurting our friends and shut-down their operation for good."

His pep-talk must've been exactly what the slate-haired blader needed, because when Kai looked up, there was a blazing fire raging in his crimson orbs. "Yes. We'll make them pay dearly." he held out his hand. "Give me your phone, Kinomiya. I'm calling in reinforcements."

As he watched Kai disappear into one of the bedrooms, Tyson realized they would be leaving soon. "Kenny, anyway for you to trace where that video came from, like they do in the spy movies?"

They boy smiled. "Already on it."

"Good. Fortunately we only need a general area, our bitbeasts will lead us straight to Tala and them." He looked down at his Dragoon. "Boris will be sorry for what he did." A sudden chill in the air made the hairs on the back of Tyson's neck stand on end. The room felt like it had dropped several degrees in the last few seconds.

The door bell rang.

Before the World Champion could even react, Kai was there. He sent a look at him, one that screamed "Get out of sight". Tyson obeyed. He picked up Kenny off the couch and placed him gently in one of the spacious closets. He stood behind the wall right next to the front entrance, in case Kai needed back-up...not that he couldn't take care of himself.

He heard the door open then...Silence.

Dead Silence.

"B-but how?" Kai's voice was soft, but clearly in shock. Curiously Tyson poked his head from around the corner and his own jaw went slack.

Standing before them was none other than the Blitzkrieg Boyz.

"What's wrong Kai? You look like you've seen a ghost." commented Bryan.

All eyes were on the shaking blader as he punched a wall, his fist going straight through the drywall and he shouted, "I'm gonna fucking kill that bastard!" he stalked back into the living room. Everyone could feel the anger radiating off him in torrents.

The newcomers just looked at each other and shrugged, letting themselves into the house. Noticing Tyson's bewildered and angry expression and his unusual silence was really starting to freak Tala out. "Ok what happened? Kai is emotional and Tyson is silent. What gives?"

Kai and Tyson exchanged glances before Tyson wordlessly went to the closet and pulled out the computer wiz. "Show them what Kusenov sent."

Kenny, seeing the intimidating looks from the Russians, shivered and opened the file. The Blitzkrieg Boyz watched the video with hate and disgust written on their faces.

"Well that explains the visit Boris paid to Bryan's apartment." mutter Tala venomously. The former Bladebreakers looked at him with interest. "Him and his goons broke in at the dead of the night, forcing Bryan and I to jump out the nearest window. If I had know the bastard would do something like this, I would've taken my chances and killed him on the spot." the red-head growled.

"So any idea who his victims are?" asked Tyson.

"Probably just some poor saps who work for him." answered Bryan.

"So what's the plan?"

All eyes turned towards Kai.

"We're ending this game, we're going to destroy them so thoroughly that BioVolt will never rise again. Kusenov is mine." he growled. Only the other Russians understood the implications of that statement, and nodded mutely. Kai turned his attention to Kenny. "Do you have a location?" he watched the brunette bite his lip.

"We have a problem: The video seems to have come not from one, but two different locations. The Tovi Lob headquarters in Russia and the one here in Japan. The email address is active in both buildings at this very moment."

The room went silent once again.

Finally Tala spoke. "They're forcing us to split up."

"No." Kai said in realization, "They're trying to split Tyson and I up."

"Well, that makes sense. You and Tyson are quite formidable on your own. But together..."

Kai thought everything over again. In the video Boris had said "You and Tyson". If it had truly been just him and Tyson, he would have gone to Russia and Tyson would have gone to the one here in Japan. In the Justice 5 tournament, Tyson was the one who had taken initiative and had stood up against Boris and BEGA. Which meant... "Boris is here in Japan, and Kusenov is in Russia, and both are traps just waiting to be sprung." He forced himself to think like Kusenov.

Kusenov needed leverage. Chances were good that he had hired Boris to get that leverage. They would've figured out right away that their 'hostages' were not the real Blitzkrieg Boyz...but they would've had Tyson... He clentched his teeth in anger. Another realization came to mind; he had Tyson's phone. He quickly ran out the room and tossed the phone into the air, then launched Dranzer. When they made contact, the device shattered into millions of pieces. He caught his blade.

"Hey! What the heck was that for?!" shouted Tyson.

Smoothly Kai said. "You're now a target. Boris probably traced your phone which is why he knew that we were still in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on his way here now." He looked at the Russians. "We need to move."

"Yeah, but where to Kai?" asked Spencer, "Do we stay and take care of Boris? Or do we go after Kusenov?"

Kai smirked. "We're gonna shut-down this whole damn operation.


Mr. Dickenson put a cloth to his forehead and wiped away the beads of sweat that had formed there. Taking on Hiwatari Enterprises had massive amounts of paperwork and it was very unsettling the way the name 'Tovi Lob' kept popping up. Maybe Kai or Tala knew something about it. His office door suddenly burst open. Speak of the Devil! He thought as Kai Hiwatari and the Blitzkrieg Boyz strutted through. He was really surprised to see Tyson Kinomiya trailing in with Kenny on his back. "Can I help you boys?"

Before anyone could open their mouth, Tyson beat them to it. "BioVolt's back Mr. D! Think ya could give us some back-up?" he grinned.

Oh my. This is going to be a very long day. Thought the Director.


"Alright let's go through this one more time." everyone groaned and looked at the world champion.

"What's not to get, kid? Us Blitzkrieg Boyz will take a few of Dickenson's men and capture Boris, while you and Sunshine confront Kusenov with a whole bunch of men, while Judy and the BBA team in America will take down the headquarters there." said Bryan, annoyed, ignoring Kai's death glare at his new nickname.

"Jeez, sorry. Just wondering when anyone had time to even inform Max's mom to what the hell is going on here."

Everyone stopped and just as Mr. Dickenson's hand went to the phone, Kai said, "Don't bother, I already took care of it." There were no more questions.

12 hours later, everyone was in position. They were all using Kenny's communication devices, which worked perfectly even across the globe (he had sent the blueprints to Emily so they could re-create them there). Kai had allowed Dickenson's men to pilot the Dranzer 2000 aircraft in favour of getting some sleep. As there was a limited amount of room with the extra men on-board, he had decided to take the aisle seat next to Tyson. He had to fight back a blush when he woke up however, as the pony-tailed teen had been using his shoulder as a headrest. A part of him cursed himself for not just stopping in China and placing Kenny and Tyson in the care of the White Tigers until this was all over with.

But as he now stared at the ominous building that his grandfather had built, with his closest friend next to him, the one person who had never given up on him; he couldn't help but feel invincible.

"Ready to save the world again, Kai?" came Tyson's confident voice. Crimson locked with cinnamon and the CEO felt the last of his nerves leave his body.

"Let's get this over with." he stepped forward and, in a dramatic fashion, slammed open the double doors to the building. Strutting through the halls, he watched in satisfaction as people started cowarding behind their desks.

He and Tyson entered the elevator and he pressed the button for the top floor. Once they reached the their floor, he made a bee-line for Tala's office. He kicked open the oak doors to reveal Kusenov sitting pretty in the director's chair. A smirk playing on his lips.

"Ah, Young Kai. I see you got my invitation. Please, sit down and we'll get this started. His blue eyes widened when he saw the Japanese teen next to him.

Tyson smirked. "Betcha you're surprised to see me."

"Yes, well I just thought Kai would let this be an adult discussion, and leave the kids at home." he glared at the CEO.

"Yes, well I thought this would be a golden opportunity to teach the kid what exactly happens when you try to take things that don't belong to you." he snapped his fingers and 30 armed men came into the room. "This game is over Kusenov."

The ex-general laughed. "My my. I would've never guessed that you would be so cold and risk your friends being hurt." he held up a button. "Once this button is pressed, Boris will kill them."

Kai lifted an eyebrow. "Kill who exactly? Tala and his team are alive and well in one of my safe houses."

"Ha. Good bluff, but I saw those boys personally." he grinned.

"Funny. So did I. This morning. And they were all in great health. Not bashed in to the point where they were hardly recognizable." He watched Kusenov look from him to Tyson and back to him again. His face turned from white to red then to purple, and Kai found himself wishing he had a camera. "Should've learned by now, Kusenov. Never trust Boris." He glare turned deadly. "Now get out of my chair."

The man slumped, knowing that he had been defeated. He let the officers take him away, leaving just Kai and Tyson alone in the room. "Good riddance." said Tyson. He watched as Kai strode over to the desk and started examining files. "Something wrong, buddy?"

The dual-haired man grabbed a piece of paper and carefully folded it before putting it in his breast pocket. "No." He activated the talk button on his device. "We're all clear. Status reports."

Judy's voice was the first to come through. "Tovi Lob in America has been successfully terminated."

"Good. Tala?" They were met with silence. "Tala?"

"Boris isn't here. This entire place is deserted." Both Kai and Tyson's eyes widened.

"Check it thoroughly!" snapped Kai.

"We're doing that!" hissed Tala. "It's 3AM in the fucking morning here! There's no people, no hostages, noth-" there was a deafening blast, he heard Tala scream – then static.

"Judging from the looks on your faces, I'll assume that your friends ran into my present."

Shivers ran up both of their spines and they turned to see Boris. Kai noticed that the man was wearing a gas mask – too little, too late. By the time he had pulled up his scarf to use it as a filter, his vision was already becoming blurry. He fought against the tempting lulls of sleep, stumbling his way to Tyson. The last thing he saw was the bluenette collapsing, before his own body hit the carpeted floor and the darkness took over.


So they took down Kusenov and discovered that Boris used Kusenov to capture them and now they are in the clutches of Boris.
