A/N: I don't own Beyblade and unfortunately never will.

~Always and Forever~ after much revision I have decided to re-write it completely, hopefully it will be better than my first try at writing and there's a slight change in the plot from the original story but it's hopefully better and will continue in the Sequel.

I would like to my biggest thanks to- Chocolate Teddy bear, for her support and giving me a new confidence when I may have given up on this story completely.

Of escapes and many meetings.

Tala nervously played with his blade as he waited for his lavender- haired friend, they were going to escape from this hellhole once and for all. But the red-haired boy doubted they'd see each other again, you see Brian while he had his faults was not as mean and cold as most thought him, once a long time ago Brian was (if anyone can imagine) happy and well…Pleasant. But when Boris took his sister to a top-secret location everything changed. And now the two friends had devised a escape plan the lavender-haired boy was going to looked for his little sister and no one not even Boris would stop, of that Tala was sure and he for one wouldn't stand in Brian's way.

Their two other team mates were oblivious of their escape plan, Tala still thought Boris had a strong hold over them, but then Tala, Brian and Kai had always been the strong ones while Ian and Spencer were undoubtedly weak minded and lapped up every thing Boris told them. And therefore Tala felt a little pity for leaving them here, but his own safety and life came first and Boris was a dangerous man right now. And especially angry at Tala for loosening the match against Tyson

The red haired boy was bought back to reality when the door clicked open and shut, he turned seeing Brian and breathed a sigh of relief glad it wasn't Ian (who normally bugged Tala into insanity) or worse Boris. The lavender haired boy observed Tala coolly. 'It's time to leave, do you know were you'll go?' the red haired boy shook his head he hadn't thought that far ahead yet, but if they did get out alive he may just pay the Blade breakers a visit if only just to see their faces when he tells then of the escape.

He smiled at the thought.

' I'll be fine, I've been trained to survive and I will no matter what' the red haired boy answered with a new found determination and strength from deep inside himself.

Brian smirked at his ex-captains determination; he himself felt a new strength deep inside himself well up, since Boris's hold on him had been broken, it was like the man had been controlling their very thoughts and freedom of choice. But that was over now and he would find his younger sister even if it killed him doing so. Admittedly this sudden rush of emotion was surprising but not unexpected as even though he may have been trained to feel nothing he was after all still human.

' Lets go' the boys walked through the cold halls of the Abbey they avoided most security cameras and guards, as they reached the exit their luck ran out Ian and Spencer stood before the two boys, their faces wore masks of anger directed at their two escaping team mates. Their blades were set and ready to stop the two boys from leaving if they had too.

' Get out of my way' Brian commanded calmly unnerving them.

' Why? You were just going leave without us' Ian glared feeling betrayed and hurt.

Spencer nodded his agreement but stayed silent not wanting to anger Brian.

' We're not so weak minded as you may think' Ian continued crossing his arms over his chest ' Boris has no hold over us anymore, our loyalty isn't to him but to our friends. Those who were their for us when no one else was' these words caught Tala and Brian by surprise, but they new he spoke the truth and as Ian spoke they realised they were a team and they were friends, no they were more than that, they were kind of like brothers.

' Then come with us' Tala said. His friends looked at him ' you were right and we were fools, thinking Boris still had you in his grip. But now I know we were wrong…so come with us and lets go now before it's too late' the four friends then walked out into the courtyard and quickly headed for the open gate before Boris realised they had gone and sent some of his guards after them.

But as these thoughts entered their minds the alarms went off and the four boys ran for their freedom and lives as the Abbey guards followed them through the gates and into the streets of Moscow.

They ran down a side alley hoping to lose the guards luckily they ran right by the alley and didn't seem to hear the puffing and panting of the four out of breath teens,

' That-was-close' Spencer said leaning against the wall. The others agreed with their team mate and they too leaned on the wall for support.

' We need to spilt up' Tala said 'that way each of us has a chance of escape'

' No we'll never see each other again' Ian gasped looking horror-struck at the mere though of being alone.

' Tala's right, in order to get away from him we must go our own way' Brian agreed as much as he didn't want to leave his childhood friends, but he had a mission of his own to do and he wouldn't drag them into it. He knew one day their path would reunite them but until then it was each for his own.

' I'll go first, good luck guys I look forward to meeting up again. When the time comes' Brian said and after he checked their were no guards around he disappeared deep into the crowded streets of Moscow.

One by one the ex-Demolition boys said their goodbye to each other and went their own way, vowing that they'd meet again.

Tala walked slowly down the street panicked thoughts filled his head, where was he to go or how would he escape from Russia with little money. He sighed and reached into his pocket touching his blade gave a calm comfort and his Bit Beast glowed warmly as the red haired boy pulled it out and looked at it softly a small smile gracing his features.

' What are we going to do?' he whispered. Of course there was no vocal reply but he felt warmth sped over him, Wolborg wasn't worried he trusted his master deeply and would go to any length to protect him. The said boy stopped suddenly and tensed, footsteps very quiet footsteps were heard and if Tala hadn't been trained to never be off guard he probably wouldn't have heard them.

He turned to find he'd wondered into a alley and quietly cursed under his breath, how could be so stupid as not to notice where he was walking but he became even more alert when the footsteps became louder, who ever the person was they wanted him to know they were their, which could only mean one thing one of Boris's goons had found him.

He wondered if the others were safe but then if he'd been tracked down then surely they had too? He turn ed readying himself for a fight but to his surprise a girl stood no far from him her arms crossed and her dark blue eyes observing the red haired boy.

She was dressed in tight blue denim jeans which flared at her feet and a lighter blue polo neck jumper and a dark blue hooded sweater with a front pouch pocket, her chin length hair was dark blue with silver streaks, Tala took a defensive stance and readied his blade, but the girl held up her hands in a sign of peace.

' Hey...I mean you no harm' she said gently and stepped closer to the ex-Demolition boy who lowered his blade but still gave her a look of suspicion.

' Who are?' Tala demanded coldly, he was trying to act like he normally simply because this girl unnerved him…a lot and truthfully he didn't understand why?

Or why he felt a tingling sensation in his chest, he knew it was some sort of emotion but he and his friends were trained not to feel anything and up till now he hadn't but the question was what had changed?

' Kimberly Granger' she answered extending her hand, Tala however didn't except her hand his eyes were a little wide could this girl possibly be related to Tyson Granger?

Coming back to himself Tala narrowed his eyes at Kim who didn't seem at all intimidated by this instead she walked closer to him and Tala stepped back a few paces he'd never been good talking too or being around girls, they freaked him out sometimes but this girl was different he actually felt drawn to her.

He uncharacteristically felt a strong desire to run but decided against it and shook her hand quickly whilst mumbling 'I'm Tala nice to meet you' his cheeks were feeling slightly hot which was something he'd never felt happen before. The girl smiled her eyes sparkled softly causing Tala's face to feel hotter.

' Are you hot?' the girl said and as Tala looked at her he saw she was trying to hold back Laughter she was teasing him but unlike the countless times when Ian would tease him and Tala would get angry and smack the small boy over his head, he didn't really mind her teasing comment which in his opinion was strange indeed.

' Would you like to join me for dinner?' she asked her cheeks tacking a soft shade of pink, god she didn't know what was wrong with her he was only a boy and she'd seen and met plenty on her travels but then she'd never met anyone with eyes so blue and bright that they mesmerised her so, and she knew of course who he was she wasn't stupid or blind but she was willing to put the fact that he tried taking her cousins bit beast aside. Well that and the fact he looked so lost and she'd seem some strange men in uniforms wondering the streets and now she had bumped into a member of one of the most unpopular beybladeing teams and so she figured he's escaped from the abbey.

She was willing to help him but first she needed him to thrust her, hence the reason for asking him to dinner. The said boy was having an inner battle with himself; half of him said trust Kimberly, but then the other half said he couldn't trust anyone and he should walk away now before it's too late.

' So what do you say?' Kimberly said breaking Tala's little inner battle.

' Okay…but I don't have much money' he said but Kimberly smiled softly at him

' No worries I have plenty, so lets-' she stopped as hurried footsteps approached

Four abbey guards were approaching them and their was no way out save they way from where the guards where coming, nor was there a place to hide Kimberly's eyes widened as the four abbey guards surrounded them they were both trapped.

' Now we have you, traitor' a beefy guard spat in Tala's face.

' Yeah I'm sure we'll be well rewarded' another agreed

' Right lets take him to Boris' another said grabbing Tala roughly.

' Wait! What about the other one' a fourth guard said eyeing Kimberly and licking his lips wistfully. The other three seemed to consider this also and where so busy thinking about what to do that they didn't notice Kimberly pull out a ice blue beyblade and set it upon her white launcher.

' Let it rip' she yelled launching the blade, the abbey guards turned with wide eyes as the blade flew towards them with rapid speed.
