Warnings: Hm... Violence.

Prologue..

Icy blue orbs shot open as memories from a distant past entered into his subconcious. Sweat clinging to his body he sat up, the small icy room was filled with gentle breathing sounds from two of the beds beside his own. The night was cold, as always. He suddenly got the feeling that someone or something was missing. His sparkling blue orbs fell down onto the empty bed and his heart gripped.

"Bryan..." a whisper escaped his lips.

Worrying thoughts and images filled through his distressed mind and his paranoia started to slowly eat away at him. He turned over restlessly in his mouldy put up bed. He turned once again onto his back before moaning in resignition. He discarded the wafer thin sheet from on top of himself as he got up, wincing slightly as his feet touched the bitter ice like floor.

In his worry he started to pace slowly back and fourth. The red head gently started to chew his thumb nail.

'What are they doing to you?' he thought still biting his nail.

"Tala" came a murmured voice from Ians bed.

"Ian" Talas hand dropped to his side as he whirled round to see Ian watching him. "What are you doing up"

The red haired boy continued to watch his youngest team member. Ian smiled sadly at him before glancing at Spencer who was still asleep. Ians eyes fell to Bryans empty bed and his captains eyes followed.

"What do you think they're doing to him"

Tala didn't reply just continued to stare at the empty bed.

"They're hurting him, just like they hurt me, you and Spencer."

Blue eyes met his own and he cast his eyes down sadly. He knew that Tala would not sleep until the lavender haired boy returned and so he sat up and decided to try and start a decent conversation between them.

Nearly two hours had passed and neither had said a word. Inside their worries were brewing.

"He has never been this long Tala. You don't think"

"Don't think like that." Tala quickly interupted his young friend. "You should go back to sleep."

Ian paused for a moment, he knew he shouldn't have tried to bring that subject up and think the worst but he couldn't help it. He was worried for his friend. Not just Bryan.

Ian layed down on the thin lumpy matress and closed his eyes clutching the thin sheet trembling from the cold. He felt as another sheet was gently placed over his shivering frame and he smiled sadly. Closing his eyes the youngest Russian fell sound asleep.

Tala sat down on the bed shaking his head slightly, he kept glancing at the door to see whether or not Bryan was back. Soon he too had fallen sound asleep onto his bed.

DREAM

"Kari what are you doing" the read head asked looking over when he heard a small tingle of breaking glass.

Kari turned to stare at her captain. Her long mauve hair tied into a plait that fell down too her waist. She wore baggy black octopuss pants with a light blue sleeveless shirt, a white long scarf that was identical to the one her brother wore draped down her front. Crimson orbs continued to stare at him through the long dark bangs.

"Trying out some cool new technique I just found out." She told him hurrying over to the two boys. "Although I didn't plan on breaking that bottle."

"Why don't you try it out against me" Tala asked her.

"Yeah sure" Kari exclaimed excitedly whilst pulling out her standard launcher and ripcord.

The launcher Tala grasped in his hand was a lot more powerful along with his superior beyblade; Wolborg.

"Ready" Tala asked as he got into his battle stance.

"Um yeah." She replied with little confidence.

"Three, two, one LET IT RIP"

Both beyblades shot away from their owners into the makeshift battle dish. Wolborg seemed to be winning right from the off but already Tala knew he would win and so went easy on his opponent.

Karis beyblade went from defense to attack but Wolborg easily evaded the onslaught. Wolborg span round the side of the dish before swirving back to smash into the enemy.

"Sorry Kari I win again."

"Oh.."

The beyblade hit against the ground and as she bent down to pick up her beloved beyblade she suddenly burst into tears.

"I'm sure you'll win next time, honest."

"W-why...dddid you - smash - my...(sob) BEYBLADE"

"Tala why did you do that to her beyblade"

Tala span round to meet an angry looking Kai.

"Bu- but... But I..."

"It wasn't his fault Kai... It was mine for thinking I could beat him" She burst once again into tears clutching the broken beyblade.

"Kai it can be fixed"

"I challenge you Tala" Kai demanded angrily.

"But" his protest ended quickly when he realized how angry Kai was. "...okay..."

END DREAM

The door clicked open and when it did so Talas blue orbs shot open.

"Bryan" he gasped sitting up suddenly.

Bryan looked like he had been put in a blender at high speed. His baggy trousers had been ripped apart by something and he had no top. Dark bruising covered his pale body and bare chest was covered in deep whip marks. Tala watched horrified as Bryan weakly limped over to his bed and literally collapsed onto it. Tala hurried over to him and turned him gently onto his back, a quiet moan came from the pale lips as he opened one eye slightly.

"Bryan what did they do to you" Tala asked him quietly and gently held him close.

Bryan whimpered and weakly pushed Tala away with his battered arms. He lay there trembling weakly staring blankly around him. Tala moved closer but Bryan pulled away more. It was as if they had wanted every single millimeter of skin to be beaten for his defiance towards their masters.

"Tala. Leave him, there's nothing we can do." Came a quiet voice from the other side of the small room.

Spencer had awoken and was watching the two with saddend eyes.

"But Spence, he needs our help. Look at him, he needs our help." Tala told him in an all most desperate way.

"Bryan shouldn't have said that to him. Especially to his face." Spencer said.

"I hate him, that bastard, I hate him." Tala turned back to Bryan who had now curled up into a little defensive ball.

For someone who had once been so strong and daring, one who hadn't been afraid of anything they had flung at him, was now so weak and pathetic looking. Tala felt anger burning inside of him, hatred that he had felt for so long so desperate to be set free.

It was then that the two stared at eachother when the familiar loud bell rang through the still dark room. Ians eyes snapped open from fright and he sat up.

"There's no way Bryans strong enough to go on today." Spencer whispered quietly.

"They don't allow slackers Spencer. They won't let Bryan off for anything. It'll just give them another excuse to beat him." Tala whispered as he held Bryans struggling form close.

"We could hide him." Ian said. "Then they wouldn't be able to find and hurt him."

"That won't work, remember they count you as you go through them doors, they know how many they've got of us Ian." Spencer told him quietly.

Just then a thumping noise hit their ears as there was a loud knock on the door. Bryan moved closer to Tala trembling from fright. Talas grip around him tightened as Ian said,

"Yes"

"Mr. Balcov wants the four of you in his office now." A growled voice came through the door.

Talas eyes widened slightly and he glanced at Bryan to see the males eyes expanded with fear. His body started to shake and his breathing became quick. Tala held Bryan close and Ian hurried over for a cuddle too.

"We're coming." Tala said quietly as he held the two protectively.

The four got dressed quickly although it took sometime to get Bryan into some different clothes. He kept trying to get away from them. Tala was wearing his firey orange and white suit and Ian and Spencer there usual atire too.

As the four boys walked slowly down the candle-lit corridor their feet echoed against the narrow walls. Tala and his two companions unconciously stared at their staggering friend. Bryan was not appreciative of the attention that he was recieving from the three concerned teens.

Talas hand rose out and gently gave the door a slight tap.

"What do you want" came the voice of the person they feared most.

Talas arm shot back to his side from shock. He felt Bryan slightly give way beside him but the lavender haired teen managed to stay upright.

The door opened fully and Tala braced himself for what was to come. He knew it was going to be about the championships and Voltaires plot to take over the world but what he saw made his jaw drop slightly. Standing beside their trainer was someone the four boys hadn't seen in years. The blue haired teens eyes shone with recognition at Tala before flicking to Bryan in concern. Before Tala could make anything of the glance it was gone.

"Kai" Ian whispered slightly to himself as though confused.

"As you three can see you have a new teammate joining you. Tala, you Ian and Spencer shall go to the training hall with Kai immediately. Bryan you shall go down to the lab." Boris told them his blood red orbs falling onto Bryans shivering form.

The five boys continued to stare at eachother as if in amazement at seeing the one who had desserted them a long time ago. Bryan felt a rush of bitter hatred towards one of the few he had ever trusted. Red crimson met hating lavender as the two clashed.

"That was not a suggestion" Boris snapped suddenly slamming his hands onto the chestnut desktop.

Kai seemed to come over to them Tala felt as if Kai were coming back to them. But much to his disapointment Kai brushed passed the four of them. He started off down the left side of the hallway, Bryan solemly watched as the three boys walked off, abandoning him. It was obvious to him that Kai was now replacing him, taking his only friends away from him.
