Disclamer: I don't own beyblade (and never will)
Strength to go on: Chapter 1: Getting ready.
Cars lights illuminated the snowy streets. It was two o'clock in the morning so not many people was there. Kai's car slithered throw the driveway of the burnt building. As soon as the vehicle stopped, he abruptly opened the door and ran towards a woman that was kneeling on the floor.
Thirteen year old Gou stepped out of the car and ran to catch his father hurried steps.
"Monica… are you ok?" Kai asked, his arm behind Tala's wife back.
"I… just… I want her back Kai… I want her here in my arms…" she wouldn't stop sobbing, pain and anger flashing on her auburn eyes.
"I know… she'll be back. I promise." He cared, suddenly turning to face the policemen that were investigating the crime. "When did this exactly happen?" he inquired, looking at the notes that the elder man was handing.
"Half an hour ago the house started burning. This was externally provoked, there's no chance that this was an accident-"
"I know that."
"O.. ok.. this woman was forced to go out as we were told, and the man stayed inside with a creature called Alessya Ivannov. We don't know what happened to the little girl, the man who stood there with her was later found unconscious alone in the building, our men are searching but there's no clue of the minor."
"Hn." Was the cold reply. 'so it seems that Monica decided not to say a word…' he thought, before turning again to watch the suffering on the woman's eyes at the sight of… Tala.
Kai kneeled on the street and placed a caring hand on Tala's cheek. 'You'll get out of this. You're strong, Tala.' He thought.
"Dad?" the worried voice of his son took him away from his friend. Then he put his sight up to face the crimson eyes of his young. "Can I… help in something?"
"Come here" was his reply, as he stood up and walked some meters away from the injured Tala. Then he placed a hand on his son's shoulder, and forced him to look at his eyes. Finally he spoke.
"Gou… this is not going to be easy. Remember when you were ten?"
…flashback…
It was Gou's ten years birthday.
"Why are we leaving home?" little one asked.
"Because your father says it's dangerous to stay here today." Two-toned haired mother answered to her disappointed son.
"But I wanted to stay here!" complained Gou.
"Listen. – Kai demanded- If we stay here today, we may never be ok again. Put the things you'd like to take with you into a bag, and get into the car."
"But-"
"No buts Gou. It's a must." Kai stated. Then his wife smiled at him. But this day was no day for smiles to the cold guy. His life and his family's life was at high risk, they could lose it all that day. So Kai's resolution was to ran away.
So they did, by taking the first flight to China. Gou could remember everything.. could remember how he had played with Rin innocently, and how he had shown her his little pieces of writing… and at the same time, he could remember his father's worried face inside the White Tiger's house.
They had returned home a week later. But there was no home anymore. Their own house had been burnt.
…end of flashback…
"We've been running away from them for long time. –Kai continued – Tala didn't. that's why this thing happened to them, ok? I already told you, my grandfather and his people are dangerous."
"What are we going to do, Dad? We must get Alessya back…"
"I'm afraid that's not that easy. Tala's hurt, badly. And your mom's out of the country. If I get Bryan to help me, then I can go with him to where Alessya is and try to bring her back."
"No way, I'm going with you Dad!"
"No you're not. And it's an order. Now get into the car, we're leaving."
A whole day had passed since the accident. Tala had been staying in the hospital, and Monica was staying with him. As for Kai, he was already in China making some arrangements.
"You'll stay here until I come back, understood?" – Kai stated.
"Dad!"
"Kai's right. – Bryan voice was rude and secure. – You'll be much safe here."
"But-"
"You already listened. You're very young, you are to stay here." – ordered Kai. Then he walked to Ray's house and looked at his teammate.
"So you're leaving him here?" asked a concerned Ray.
"Hn… what other choice do I have? It doesn't matter how much he wants to, he'll be hurt if he goes with me."
"You should give him a chance, Kai. He's a strong boy."
"Hn… no chance here. He could get in trouble for that. I was fourteen when i got involved with that people again, i can't risk loosing my own son!"
"Yeah i get your point… but if he goes with you then it'll mean no possibility of loosing him… correct me if i'm wrong Kai, but you've risen him up teaching him the lessons you've learned from your mistakes and-"
"His mother will be in Hong Kong with the circus this afternoon, but I can't wait longer. Then I ask you to take Gou with her, so I later can pick him up as soon as I come back, okay?"
"… fine." Ray sighed, and then he looked at the garden, where his daughter and Gou should be, but they weren't. "It seems Rin took him to take a look around…"
"We should be leaving." Suggested Bryan, entering to the room.
"Yeah… good bye Ray. See ya." Both friends walked out of the house and got inside the helicopter. This would be hard.
In a plane to Moscow, two men lost in their own worlds shared a tense moment.
Bryan's POV.
I also wanted to take Biovolt down. After what had taken ages, that was the first time Tyson took it down, Boris Balkov was back and this time he was taking no prisoners. And this was serious. I wasn't fearing them as much as Kai and Tala were, I guess. After all, they had children and I had not.
Tala being hurt by the man we all assumed was Boris, wasn't something on our side. He would have been useful in this case. But we could just hope he was doing fine in the hospital, and he would recover soon. Now it was Alessya to worry about.
Kai's POV
I was afraid and I knew it. Gou had noticed too. But fear was not something to think about now. It could definitely mean failure. Boris was something difficult to deal with, and we had to be sure he stood away from Alessya's mind.
Gou should be fine while I do this business. Certainly I could have taken him with me, but that could mean loosing him as I had lost myself many years ago. He was still vulnerable to be confused by Boris' tricky games and I wasn't to let him play with my own son.
NORMAL POV
"Please put your seats in the right position and fasten your seatbelts, we are starting the landing." The sing-song voice of the travel agent resounded in the machine.
"Bryan?"
"What?"
"Shall we wait till tomorrow?"
"Why would we do that?"
"They have high security right now. They've just taken her, Boris won't separate his eyes from the security cameras, they are waiting for some of us to go and get her. It'd be safer if we wait. What's more, we can make an entrance plan. It' won't be like we go and say 'Hey Boris gave her back'. Bull shit."
Bryan couldn't help but laugh at Kai's sarcasm. "Hn, whatever. You're the leader here Kai."
Kai glanced at the window. So this was going to be the rescue.
"Hi mom.." Gou stepped out of Ray's car and smiled at the sight of the two-toned hair, tall woman.
"Hey Gou… hn, thanks for bringing him here Ray." She smiled back, at the man that was still inside the car.
"Your welcome. Any news about Kai?" the Chinese wondered.
"Yeah he has just called. He said he's landing in Moscow at this time."
"I really hope they do fine… but Kai's strong, he'll make it."
"I hope so…"
"So, I think see you later Julia, ok?"
"Aren't you staying for the show?" she laughed.
"I'm afraid I have to take care of my little, I left her back home. Next time will be ok?"
"Yeah, never mind." She smiled, as she watched the car leave the place. Gou felt as two hands were placed on his shoulders. "And what's your point of view of this situation...?" he heard his mother talk calmly, while she passed a caring hand by his cheek.
"Mom… you know I wanted to go with dad…"
"Yes, but he's right. That place is very dangerous sweetheart."
"Hn."
"Come on, don't be so stubborn. You can come here and watch the show… then I'll take you to my room and we'll see what we do about that, okay?"
"Would you let me go and join them?" hope flashed through his crimson eyes.
"…well… only if necessary. Now I've got work to do. Come on!" Julia walked him inside the big tent and showed him a place to sit.
The teen opened his bag and took a piece of paper and a pen, and before writing he read what he had written last night. 'Thunders light my writing right now. It's a cold night. I wonder what's inside that place. I always wanted to be able to see through my father's eyes. His mind is a mystery to be solved, and that's not easy at all.'
'Well… it seems I can start a new story right now.' He thought for himself. 'Momma's number is not yet, I've still got some time to write a little.' …
'Now it isn't only his mind… I know where I can find those answers… I know the place where I can become what my father is right now. And I'm sure I'll get to that place some day. It has the answers I need the most, and I'm going to get them. It doesn't matter how hard it is, I will.'
"Tala… I'm so worried about her… your best friends have already gone to save our child. I have to stay here with you, my love. I have to take care of you. And I will."
Monica clutched her husband's hand in hers, as some tears ran by his cheek. "I'm so sorry…" she whispered, at seeing the unconsciousness he was bearing.
Soft sobbing could be heard in the room. She was alone. "Where am I?"… she asked in a whisper.
"You're in the Balkov Abbey, little girl. You are to be a perfect soldier, you are to be a warrior. In the past years of this enterprise no one was able to get the perfection we needed. But you're The One, you are to get the perfection by any way. And no one is to stop your aim." A hard voice spoke.
"Where's mom? I miss dad…"
"Your parents have left you, dear. They say no longer want to see you. But that doesn't matter, you will be very loved here… only if you get the trainings and show you're worth to be trained here."
Tears started falling slowly by the creature's eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Then she started crying louder, but a slap in her face made her gasp and close her mouth.
"You are not to cry. That's an imperfection to be removed." An old man's shadow over-powered her. "I'm Boris Balkov, now Master of this corporation. And you are Alessya Ivannov, The One."
