blade fall to the floor. "Shit, that part makes the stone glow! What do we do now? We should bring him all the blades!" Asked a young sounding voice. "It doesn't work like that, we can't touch him, then he just has to destroy the part himself," said the other with a shrug, then they left the cell. "What's up ?!" Tyson asked, staring at the blade that was now starting to rotate."Look, it makes itself spin," cried Mariah, astonished. Drancer whirled wilder and wilder on the spot until he reached his correct rotation speed. Then his bit lights up scarlet and Drancer slowly rose from the blade. Sluggishly, as if it were stunned, it straightened up to its full size, but only to shrink and fly next to Kai's head shortly afterwards. "Something is wrong with the Bit Beast, look its color is pale and the flames don't lick as strongly as usual!", Lee stated as the first of the bladers. The others look at Drancer and they too had to find out that the proud phoenix is ​​gradually getting weaker and weaker. "What is he doing now? Did Kai call him?" Asked Max and looked around. "No, he's still sound asleep, but I don't understand what his Bit Beast is doing outside either," said Eddy. "That makes sense," put in Emily. "What is so logical, please?", Mariah snapped." Have you never watched Kai? In combat, in your free time? Did you forget how he treated his Bit Beast? "asked Emily." Of course we watched him, he was our opponent after all. But what are you getting at? "asked Kevin." He has a strong bond with the being. Just as Kai feels, so will Drancer. In combat, Kai is a relentless fighter, which then carries over to his Bit Beast. So they always fight as a unit. He trusts Drancer, just as Drancer trusts him and if you watch them you can guess how they both feel, "said Emily." Does that mean that Drancer was also indirectly drugged? "asked Kenny." Exactly! Kai transfers his constitution to the phoenix and that's the result, "said Emily." That's too high for me, "Tyson stated briefly and tilted his head thoughtfully to one side." We should think about how we can get out of here. " said Eddy and looked around."We can't get out of here without our blades and touching Drancer would be weary of life," said Ray. "Why?" Asked Gary. "Because there is still a bit beast in his blade and that is protected by Drancer, he wanted to attack me once when I got too close to the creature," the Chinese explained. "Great, a bit beast that is picky too," moaned Emily. "No, not picky ..... a loner," corrected Lee.

The group had been locked down in the dungeon for some time when they heard footsteps in the hallway. "Why does he want us to get the others?" Asked a voice. "I have no idea, it was his instruction and you have nothing to question!", A deep voice said seriously then the dungeon door was opened. At the same moment Drancer disappeared back into his blade and it remained motionless near Kai. "Come on, move on," the men screamed and drove the bladers outside."Hey and what about Kai?" Asked Max indignantly. "Don't worry about him, he'll be in the best of hands afterwards," replied the man and looked cunningly at the boy who was still sleeping. "Come on now," the other man ordered, leading the bladers down a long, torch-lit corridor. They looked around, the cold stone walls testify that this building must be very old and through the torches you could also see that there was no electricity here. They went on and on down the dark corridor until they came to a staircase and were directed upstairs. When they then entered the hall, which was also gloomy, they all looked at the decorated altar and what lay on it. "What is that? Why is there an altar in the middle of a hall", Eddy asked confused. "Shut up and finally sit down there," a man snapped and hit Eddy roughly in the back of the knee. This immediately went to his knees. "Hey are you crazy or what?"Tyson asked angrily." Shut up and sit down! Be glad that we treat you tenderly, "said the other figure and signals the bladers to sit down on the designated place on the wall of the room." Do what they say, "said Michael and then sat down. The others growled contemptuously did what the team boss of the All Starz had ordered: "Reasonable of you! You got it, "laughed the man, then went away again.



Groaning, Kai turned on his back, his wrists hurt and his head felt as if it would burst at the slightest movement. He struggled with the thought to open his eyes or rather to go back to sleep and forget the terrible pain. But the quiet scream from "him" made Kai wake up. "Drancer!" He said startled and tried to sit up. But sank back weakened on the cold stone floor. > No, please don't! Not again, he thought dazedly when he realized where he was.But Drancer's affirmative answer made him lose all hope. Then Kai pulled himself together and straightened up, a huge color pattern exploded in his head and licking flames: "Oh dancer please be a little quieter", Kai growled and painfully closed his eyes. The phoenix that rekindled his fire turned into the red light and joyfully circled his trainer. "I'm looking forward to it, too, and now shut up," said Kai with his phoenix. Drancer crouched on his drawn knee and rubbed his head against Kai's cheek. "Drancer run away, fly away from here and no way come back !! Come on, get out of here !!", Kai said angrily to his phoenix when he heard footsteps. This cocked his head. "Yes, yes, I'll call you when I need you, now hurry up!" Said Kai urgently. Drancer looked once more into the eyes of his trainer, then got up and dissolved into the finest embers and shot through one of the small hatch windows.Kai straightened up in a daze and stood on shaky legs. The triumphant laugh boomed in his head and he looked in the direction from which the voice was coming. But his eyes could not yet see who was walking towards him. Then something hard hit him in the stomach and he groaned and got back on his knees. "Nice to see you again," said a voice that sent a cold shiver down his spine. "Nice that you are at least happy!", Kai snapped and looked at his grandfather. His senses were still intoxicated by the numbness and so he couldn't defend himself against the two arms that pulled him to his feet and held him when another person hit him roughly in the stomach. "Be a little more careful Bryan, we still need him in one piece," Voltaire rebuked the boy. Bryan immediately stopped and read from Kai. "I know what you want from me! And I swear to you this time you will grit your teeth on me," said the captured Blader and looked angrily at his grandfather."We'll see that, my boy! But first we want to give you more freedom of movement. Spencer get rid of him.", Voltaire said in mock sweetness. At his signal, Spencer Kai cut the bonds. Immediately a sharp pain ran through his arms and into his shoulder. Slowly he took his hands forward and rubbed his wrists, which were marked with a blood-red line. And then looked up contemptuously at his grandfather. "So you've sent your henchmen on the hunt again, how pathetic you can't even deal with a 16 year old on your own," the mockery in his voice could hardly be overheard. "You will kindly refrain from doing that!", Voltarie said threateningly and gave Kai a resounding slap in the face that made him stumble against Spencer. "Stop it!" Kenny yelled angrily, completely against his nature. Kai winced in shock and his eyes widened in horror when he saw his team, the Withe Tigers and the All Starz tied up against the wall. "Surprised?They tried to help you and because we can't afford eyewitnesses we just brought them with us, "said Ian who was still holding Kai. And Spencer, who was helping Ian to hold Kai, laughed maliciously." Never thought it would be us won't they bring you back wasn't captain? ", asked Bryan and grinned maliciously." I am no longer surprised at all in this shop, after all you are only puppets who can do nothing more than carry out orders that my oh so great grandfather gives you, "said Kai." Don't you dare. .. ", Bryan shouted angrily and gave Kai a strong blow to his stomach. Groaning, the latter sank to the ground and clutched his stomach, he could hear the faint screams of the others." And now ... ", Voltaire raised his voice and walked up to the altar and lifted the little black Bey Blade from him as if it were the greatest national treasure. "You only have to start it once," he said and held the blade out to Kai with a lovable smile.But Kai knew that he couldn't be trusted. He got up and slapped his grandfather's hand away: "NO, I won't put myself under your control!" He hissed and his eyes sparkled dangerously at his situation and also his fear to forget. He would never let himself be tempted again! He swore that to her back then and he wanted to keep it. "That was a mistake, my friend. But ... if you don't want to hear you just have to feel!" Said Voltaire sharply and left the work to the 3 Demolition Boys. Kai was grabbed by Spencer and Bryan while Ian strode menacingly towards him. "How long have I waited for this moment," he laughed viciously and hit the defenseless Kai with all his might in the stomach. Groaning in pain, he sank down in the arms of the two Demolition Boys, it was only with great effort that he could keep himself on his feet. "So you don't want to reconsider it?" Asked Voltaire sweetly. "I'd rather die," Kai threw angrily into the room."You can have THAT," Ian said mockingly and gave him another punch in the pit of his stomach. That was too much, Kai fell to the floor groaning and doubled over in pain. Ian gave a short laugh and kicked him in the stomach with full force, but Kai raised his arms protectively and waited for the blow. When Ian's leg hit his arm, it felt briefly numb and a market-shaking cry of pain echoed in the room. Kai looked up confused and looked at Ian jumping around wildly in front of him. Had he not been in such a humble position he would probably have
