Lirin: Another of the Lost Chapters bridging the way for OMK 3.

Tala: Lirin Sama does not own Beyblade or the characters. And well if she made money she'd be at CTcon this weekend...but she's not.

1 Deciding

The night was passing just like usual. Tala and Bryan had rocked Akemi to sleep and had her laid out in her crib with the mobile slowly turning. Tala had dropped by Susumu's room to tuck the kit in since he refused to have either of his parents do it. And after the kit he checked on his adopted daughter Chiyuki.

Now he and Bryan were preparing for bed themselves, the TV turned to the news and were going over the day's sports updates.

"And in the World of Beyblade..." the news anchor said and both boys gave the announcer their full attention. "...the Russian government is going to put to vote wither Beyblade shall continue to be a legalized sport..."

The screen switched to a shot of Boris and Tala let out a low menacing growl.

"This man, Boris Balkov, had during the 2000 World Championships, tried to use his team, the Demolition Boys, to take control of the world. Since then the Russians had been debating if they should cancel the sport now that their reputation has been soiled. The vote will be announced some point next week."

The anchor then switched to another sport that neither paid attention to. Their blood was boiling from the previous announcement.

"Is he ever going to stop fucking things up?" Tala growled between clenched teeth. His icy blue glare directed at the TV as if it was still showing Boris's picture.

"Language Wolf," Bryan calmly replied reminding the other of the small child sleeping in there.

"Sorry Bry. It's just..."

"He gets to you. He gets to all of us," the Falcon finished and Tala nodded. "Just remember that he's gone."

"But so much damage was done by him. And now the youth of Russia might not get to know the fun and joy of an honest Beybattle. I can't let that go."

"Then what to you suggest about it? Is there even anything we can do?"

"I...I don't know. But I refuse to just let this go."

Bryan sat on the bed and watched as Tala began to pace the room. There was no denying that they were both troubled by the news. But was there anything they could do to change it? Or was Boris's damage too deep to be repaired? Bryan was heavily leaning towards the later. But Tala was trying to plan. He had hope. And that was enough for Bryan to allow a glimmer of hope too.

Tala walked back and forth for minutes not saying anything. His mind too deep in thought to acknowledge anything outside his problem and path.

He was a factor in Russia's debate over Beyblade. But since then he had changed. He now sought to fight fair and for the fun of it. He was not Boris's mind controlled minion anymore. He had changed and so had the others...

And just like that a light went off in his head. He and the team where the key to restoring the damage Boris had done. They had to go back and show everyone what Beyblade was really about.

Bryan looked over when Tala had stopped mid step and turned his troubled expression into a devious smile.

"What are you planning?" Bryan asked with a sigh. Usually when Tala was smiling like this it was going to prove to be slightly troublesome.

The Wolf's smile grew. "How do you feel about a trip to Russia?"

"Why?"

"Glad you asked. I was thinking that Boris used us to destroy Beyblading in Russia, so why don't we go back and change it. Show the government we changed and help shed a better image of the sport to them. And since Boris is dead they'll know this wont be another plot by him."

"But what if they think we're working for someone else? Tal you said that we were a cause of this problem. I don't really see them willingly accepting our offer to help."

"I guess that would be a problem...unless we ask Mr. D. to help us there. He can easily vouch for us. Or at least talk them into giving us a trail go."

Bryan again sighed. "Say that they do, what do you plan on us doing to prove things can change?"

"Again I'm glad you asked. We can teach the kids. Maybe manage a team."

Bryan saw a sparkle in Tala's eyes that had been missing since they agreed to step back from the World scene to raise Akemi. But even though it was for a good reason, Tala seemed disappointed by it. And now, with this plan, he might be able to get everything he wants. Bryan was impressed he thought this through in so little time.

"Alright Wolf, I'll go where you lead. We'll call Mr. Dickinson in the morning and talk it over with him. But for now how about some sleep?" He opened his arms up for Tala to snuggle with him.

Tala smiled wide and jumped in the arms of his lover. "Thank you Bry-Bry. I love you."

"I love you too," Bryan said leaning back pulling Tala on top of him.

It wasn't long after that that Tala fell into a restful sleep for the night.
