Chapter 2: A new team mate an old family member

Everything was black . . . . . everything was cold . . . . . and everything was quiet. No matter what direction she looked in, no matter where she turned everything was the same.

Talie could feel herself running. Running faster than she dared to where eyes could see her. The sound of her feet padding on the ground as she ran filled her ears.

As she kept running more footsteps were heard. But these weren't normal footsteps, there was more than two.

Looking down to her left she smiled slightly. She wasn't alone. A black wolf ran alongside her, a silver spiked collar around its' neck. Ears pressed firm against its' head and mouth open as it took in deep breathes. Blood red eyes staring straight ahead with the look of determination in them. As if it knew where it was going and was desperate to get there . . . . . no matter what happened along the way.

Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. The small leaps the wolf took and the small sprints that she took. Her smiled widened as the wolf finally looked up at her. Its' eyes stared straight into hers, as if searching for something that wasn't even there . . . . . . or something that was hidden.

Slowly the wolf started to run ahead until it was finally out of sight. Talie closed her eyes to concentrate, when she reopened them everything seemed to be brighter. Closing them again she gasped as the feeling of her stomach rising into her throat filled her body.

Gasping Taile's eyes snapped open to see nothing but blurriness. Different colours and shapes mixing together. The feeling of not being alone washed over her once more.

Rubbing her eyes to try and help herself to see clearly. But she found herself unable to move. Panicking she shook her body from side to side and up and down as much as she could. Slowly her vision was clear and she found herself in what she believed to be a hospital room.

Looking down at her body she saw that she was strapped down by four thick leather straps going around her and the bed she was lying on. The crisp white sheets were down at her hips showing that she was now wearing hospital pyjamas.

The door opened and she stopped struggling. A boy about her age, maybe older, walked in eyes closed and arms folded over his chest. He had two toned blue hair and two blue triangles on both cheeks.

As if knowing she was awake he opened both eyes showing two deep crimson pools. Walking over to the bed he pulled the small chair over and sat on it.

"So you're awake then." He said crossing her arms and putting one leg over the other.

Glaring she asked, "What am I doing here and why am I strapped to the bed?" Her voice dripped with annoyance.

Before the boy could answer the door opened again and a doctor walked in. He jumped slightly when he saw Talie was awake, "So you're awake I see. How are you feeling?" Walking over to the bed he started to un-strap her.

"Fine I guess but why am I strapped to the bed?" Raising an eyebrow, wanting to hear the most likely lame excuse he had.

Looking up he sighed, "You attacked one of the doctors so we had to make sure no one else got hurt . . . . . yourself included." Putting his attention back onto the straps as he undid the rest. "I'm sorry that we had to use such force Talie but you gave us no choice."

Her eyes went wide with shock, "You attacked a doctor?" The blue haired boy asked raising an eyebrow.

Looking at the boy she glared at him, "I don't remember." She snapped. Sighing she faced the doctor, "Is he ok?"

"You couldn't have done that much damage." The boy said smirking at her, "No offence but you don't look like the type of girl to go throwing her fists around." Getting up and walking out the room closing the door behind him.

She kept glaring at where he left trying to burn holes through the door. The doctor cleared his throat to catch her attention and to tell her that he was still in the room. "I know what you're thinking Talie. The doctor was James so don't worry, he understands that you didn't mean to hurt him like you did."

Sighing she stretched out her hands to pull the covers over her, when she saw her arms were bandaged from the elbow to the wrist. Frowning she turned back to the doctor, "What happened to me? Why are my arms bandaged?"

Blinking he asked, "Don't you remember?" She shook her head and hissed in pain. Putting her hand to her neck she gingerly ran the tips of her fingers across it. She had a bandage rapped around her neck that went under her arm then around her right shoulder. Her frowned deepened as she kicked the covers off her to see if she was bandaged anywhere else. She was her left leg was bandaged from the knee to ankle.

"What the hell happened!" She shouted not to the doctor but to know one in particular, clutching her head in her hands.

"You were attacked." Jumping slightly by the new voice she moved her hands down to her side and looked to the door. The boy with the two toned blue hair was back along with four others. One with raven hair tied in a ponytail reaching his ankles, the second with blonde hair, the third was midnight blue tied in a low ponytail and the shortest had brown hair.

"W-who are you?" She asked. Looking back and forth between the girl and the boys the doctor picked up the leather straps in his hand and walked to the door.

"I will leave you kids alone for a moment then I will change those bandages Talie." smiling he left the room.

Silence filled the room as none of the teens said anything to each other. "Sooo . . . . . Names Tyson nice to meet you Talie." The blunette smiled walking over to the bed and holding out his hand.

Looking at his hand then back up to his face. The large goofy smile he held told Talie that he wasn't a threat of any kind. So smiling back she took his hand. "Hey." She didn't know what to say but she thought it best to say something.

"That's Max, Ray, Kenny and he's Kai." Tyson said pointing to his friends in turn.

"Why are you guys here in the first place? I mean . . . I don't even know you." Turning her body round so she could fix her pillow so it sat up straight then leaning against it.

"Don't you remember what happened?" Ray asked. Talie shook her head slowly this time so Ray continued, "We were heading back to our hotel when we heard screaming so we went to find out who screamed. That's when we found you in the park . . . . . being attacked by some big dog."

Her eyes widened, now she remembered. She'd been running when she met Steel then he left and she was at the park when the wolf attacked her. 'That must be why I'm here.' She thought.

"Thanks . . . . . for saving me. I hope none of you got hurt." Not wanting to look at the boys. She felt bad that they might have gotten hurt for no reason.

Smiling Max said, "No problems. But there was one thing that was bothering me." Talie's face paled as he said "But there was one thing bothering me" It wasn't the way he said it; it was just the answer she would have to give him.

"You got bitten on the neck and you lost a lot of blood. We thought that you would die but you never." Thinking over what he said he tried to correct himself, "I'm not saying that we wanted you to die it's just we didn't think you'd live."

Thinking of an answer Talie looked at the small table beside her bed, 'What can I say? I don't know what to say.' "Well . . . you see . . . it wasn't . . . I mean . . ." She hadn't a clue as to what she was saying or trying to say.

Seeing the look that said she felt a little uncomfortable Ray spoke up, "I think we should leave guys. It's good to see that you're ok Talie." Waving he walked out the room with the rest of his friends saying their goodbyes.

Leaving Talie alone in the hospital room. Sighing she swung her legs over the side of the bed and slowly stood up, standing fully on both right and left leg.

Once she was on her feet she slowly made her way over to the window. It started to snow again. Some of the large snowflakes landed on the window pane, turning to water and running down making small rivers.

Her room had a nice view of Russia. It showed the large stadium where the Beyblade World Championships were held only a few weeks ago. She'd watch all the matches, from the preliminary rounds in Japan all the way through to the finals in Russia. From time to time she'd managed to sit in the audience and watch but that was only if she was lucky. Not lucky to get tickets but if her older brother let her. Well he was her step brother.

'Wish I could've been in the Championships this year. I've got loads of new moves that would put a certain ex-world champ in his place.' She thought with a small smirk on her face. Not noticing as the room door opened and someone walked in.

Hearing footsteps she spun around only to see the doctor from earlier standing in front of her. "I see your feeling a little better Talie. How about we take off your bandages and see how fast you heeled this time." A small pair of scissors in his hand.

Nodding she made her way to the bed and sat down as the doctor cut away her bandages. Where the deep cuts once were there was now nothing to show that her skin had been pierced in anyway. No mark . . . no scar . . . nothing.

Just as the Bladebreakers were about to leave the hospital they got a call from Mr Dickinson at the front desk. They hadn't told him that they were at the hospital so him phoning and asking for them was a little confusing.

He told the boys to meet him at the large stadium just opposite the hospital. Walking down the cold street it didn't take them long to reach the stadium. At the main entrance stood Mr Dickinson along with Tyson's Grandpa and Father.

"Mr Dickinson how did you know we were at the hospital?" Kenny asked as they stood in front of the three older men.

Looking to his left at the two Grangers then back to Kenny, "One of my driver's saw you enter early this morning so I phoned to make sure nothing had happened to you." Giving the two Grangers one more glance.

Nodding Bruce, Tyson's father, said, "Tyson there's someone I want you to meet." Stepping up to his son, a small smile on his face but it quickly disappeared to slight nervousness.

"Yeah what?" Not knowing the life changing news that was about to be told.

Looking up Bruce looked above Tyson's head towards the main entrance and said, "You took your time didn't you." He chuckled.

Looking over his shoulder Tyson saw a girl with sky blue hair, in the same style as his and tied in a high ponytail, chocolate brown eyes slightly widened. She was wearing a yellow thin strap top that went just above her navel. Blue pants, the same colour as his shorts, sat low on her hips and the legs just passed her knees. Red heeled boots that went just below her pants so only a little bit of her legs was showing. The boots had a white line going down the front from top to bottom. Red arm length fingerless gloves length and finally a red chocker on her neck.

"Talie?" The Bladebreakers said confused. They'd just left the hospital and she was still all bandaged up. Why was she standing in front of them without her bandages?

Raising an eyebrow Bruce asked, "Have you two met before?" looking back and forth from his son and the girl.

"Kinda, we found her being attacked by a big dog so we took her to the hospital." Looking over his shoulder to his dad, "But we thought you'd be in the hospital for another week or two." Turning his attention back to Talie. The expression on her face clearly showed she was scared. But . . . didn't she have brown eyes and sky blue hair? Her eyes were now golden and her hair was a really light blue.

"You were attacked by a big dog." Bruce repeated in shock, eyes slightly widened. Slowly Talie nodded but the scared look on her face was still there.

Clearing his throat Mr Dickinson said, "Boys could you wait here for a few moments? We'd like to talk to Tyson and Talie in private for a moment." Nodding the Bladebreakers watched as Mr Dickinson led Tyson and Talie inside with Bruce and Mr Granger behind.

Once the main door was closed Ray asked, "Why would she be outta hospital this soon?" The other Bladebreakers, minus Kai, shrugged their shoulders, also wondering the same thing.

Inside the three men were standing to the side of both teens. What they were about to say would change both teens lives. The two oldest men, Mr Dickinson and Mr Granger, thought it would be best if Bruce was the one to say what needed to be said.

Taking in a deep, but shaky breath Bruce said, "Tyson for about three years do you remember a young girl, the same age as you living with us? Then when you were about three . . . she moved and you saw less and less of her?" Now and again Bruce would give Talie a small glance then look back to Tyson, who had a blank look on his face.

"Dawg try to remember dude." Mr Granger said standing beside his son and grandson.

'I knew I shouldn't have come here. Things are only going to take a turn for the worst.' Talie thought as she watched Tyson and the three men. 'That's it I'm not standing around any longer. If he doesn't remember then I'll just have to tell him myself.'

Walking up to Tyson she glared at him, "Seeing as you're having problems on remembering, how about I give you a hand?" Her glare sent shivers down his spine. Her glare, if possible, was colder than Kai's.

Tyson just stared at her as she continued to glare at him. His blue eyes widened at what he saw when he stared into her eyes. Before she came up to him her eyes were golden, now they were going back to brown and now turning fiery red. Her hair, which was light blue went back to sky blue and kept getting darker until it was darker than his, but it wasn't black. And as she spoke he could see her canines getting longer and sharper, like the Ray and the other White Tigers.

"Well what do you say?" Her glare disappeared and turned into a smirk, but her features didn't change. "How about we have a little beybattle and see if that brings back any memories." Putting her hands into a pocket she pulled out a launcher in the shape of a purple microphone and a dark purple beyblade with fiery red strips, and had a five spiked attack ring.

Blinking a couple of times Tyson smirked back and said, "You're on but I must warn you being the World Champ means that I'm no rookie." Taking out Dragoon and attached him to the launcher with a click to indicate that it was properly attached.

Both bladers held out their launchers and smirked at each other, ignoring the protests coming from the three men. "LET IT RIP!" Pulling hard on their rip cords sending both beyblades flying through the air.

Clashing in mid air both beyblades sent sparks flying in all directions. When gravity pulled them both down to earth there was an earthshaking crash, shaking the floor.

The purple and white beyblade started attacking each other with hard and fast attacks. Tyson watch his Dragoon carefully, not taking his eyes off it for a second. While Talie smirked as she watched Tyson, 'Perfect.' She thought as she started to press few buttons that were on her microphone shaped launcher.

Soon music started to play, no words just instrumental. The words would later be added to what Talie was now planning.

"Hey where's that music coming from?" Tyson asked looking around where he stood. Turning his gaze to Talie he saw the smirk was still on her face as she moved the microphone to her lips, "Talie what's going on?"

"You'll see." Turning her head to look at her beyblade as it spun beside her feet.

The music got louder and stronger and faster. With every beat, Talie's beybalde seemed to be responding to it. Opening her mouth she started to sing,

Kids are doing it all across the nation

Time to battle now for world domination

Cooler than your hip

You better get a grip

The battle has begun so let it rip

Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Let it rip now

Let's go now

Don't tell who's gonna be number 1

She stopped singing but the music kept playing. Lifting her free hand she spun round on one foot and punched it towards the door. With the movements she made her beyblade followed, as if the beybalde was attached to a piece of string and Talie was controlling it's every move.

With a loud crash the beyblade knocked the door off its hinges, creating a large dust cloud once it hit the floor. Looking over her shoulder at the dumbfounded look on Tyson's face. Once the dust settled she ran to where the door lay half on half off the top of the stairs. Jumped onto it like a skateboard. Giving a quick glance to her right to where the rest of the Bladebreakers were standing with eyes as wide as saucers. Smirking she leaned forward onto the door and it started to slid down the steps of the stadium, her beyblade following close behind. When she reached the bottom she heard Tyson shout something. Smirking she turned around and saw him run after her with his Dragoon by his side.

Only when he was at the bottom of the steps did she continue with the song, but also adding a few small dance moves to it and every move she made her beyblade did the same.

The battle's on now it's time to take it

With all my friends yeah I know we can make it

You gotta use your brain

In order to retain

The number 1 position in the game

Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Let it rip now

Let's go now

Don't tell now who's gonna be number 1

Let it rip now

Let's go now.

Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Let it rip now

Let's go now

Don't tell who's gonna be number 1

Let it rip now

Let's go now

She stopped singing but again the music kept playing. This gave both bladers to do a little bit of trash talking, and that's something Talie doesn't miss a chance on doing.

"Aaaww what's the matter Tyson can't keep up?" She teased putting her hands on her hips.

Growling he shouted back, "What's with the music! Can't you blade without it!" Clenching his fists.

Shaking her head she said with her eyes closed,

Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Don't tell who's gonna be number 1

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH will you stop with the damned singing already! This is a beybattle not some karaoke thing!" He shouted. He was quickly losing his temper. A down side for him, but not for Talie. Seeing this she used it to her advantage.

Opening them again she continued to sing and she added a few more dance moves to it.

Kids are doing it all across the nation

Time to battle now for world domination

Cooler than your hip

You better get a grip

The battle has begun so let it rip

Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Let it rip now

Let's go now

Don't tell who's gonna be number 1

Let it rip now

Let's go now

Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Let it rip now

Let's go now

As the song started to end Talie's beybalde got faster and faster with its attacks, that Dragoon couldn't defended himself. On the last note the purple beyblade slammed into the white one, one more tame and to Tyson's horror . . . Dragoon stopped spinning.

The rest of the Bladebreakers were patiently waiting for Mr Dickinson, Mr Granger and Bruce to return from telling Tyson whatever they needed to tell. But they still couldn't stop thinking about why Talie wasn't still in hospital.

"I thought she'd still be in hospital." Max said with a slight confused look on his face.

Nodding in agreement Ray added, "She was badly hurt when we found her and she lost a lot of blood. So how could she be up and walking? There wasn't even a scratch on her."

Before another word could be said a loud crash made them all jump, covering their faces with their arms as a large dust cloud appeared, some of them coughing when the dust went down their throats.

As the dust started to settle they slowly moved their arms down from their faces. They didn't know what was happening but they had a pretty good idea when they saw Talie run out and stand on what used to be the door, but was now just a large plank of wood. By her feet they saw a beyblade and assumed it was hers.

That was when it dawned on them; she was the one who broke the door down, so she must be having a beybattle with Tyson. Looking up from the beyblade and to Talie, their eyes wide like saucers.

If possible their eyes widened even more as she slid down the stairs, using the door like a skate or surf board.

"Hey where do you think your going? This fight isn't over yet!" Tyson shouted as he stood at the steps.

"Tyson what's going on?" Kenny asked but he never got an answer because Tyson ran down the steps two at a time with his beyblade following.

A loud sigh made the boys look at the entrance, "I asked her not to do that." Bruce said shaking his head.

Ray looked at Max, Max looked at Ray, and they both looked at Kenny and all three looked at Bruce, "You asked her not to do what?" They asked at the same time.

Before Bruce could answer a female voice started singing. "Huh?" Looking down to Tyson and Talie, they saw it was Talie who was singing. And she was really good at it too.

Looking over his shoulder to the men Kenny asked, "What's going on? And why is Talie here?"

Taking in a deep breathe Bruce said, "The reason being is that Talie is Tyson's . . ."

Growling Tyson went on one knee and picked up Dragoon. As he looked over his beyblade he gasped. The attack ring had burn marks all over it and part of it had melted off, pretty much all of the beyblade had burn marks and parts of it melted off.

"Look what you did to my beyblade! I can't use it now! It's totalled!" He shouted at her holding out Dragoon for her to see.

Eyeing the beyblade she said, "Sorry 'bout that, it was an accident sometimes my bitbeast gets a little carried away when she fights." Putting her hand out for her beyblade to return into her. Spinning around the two teens it finally flew into Talie's hand.

"What! You had a bitbeast and you didn't even use it and you still beat me!" A shocked look plastered over his face.

Putting her hands on her hips she said with a frown, "You're not the strongest blader around Tyson. And you don't need to shout, I'm standing right in front of you."

"I'm the World Champ so that means-" He was about to continue but Talie sharply cut in.

"What I want to know is if you recognise me at all." Stretching her arms out so they were straight.

Looking her up and down when their eyes met he stared straight into them. Fiery red clashed with stormy blue. Shaking his head slowly . . . he didn't recognise her, not one little bit.

"I'm sorry but I don't . . . all I see is a girl version of . . ." He trailed off thinking for a minute. Talie's face brightened, maybe he would remember. "You're a fan girl aren't you?" Talie fell anime style.

Standing she glared at him, an anime vain showing on her head and her cheeks going red with annoyance. Storming up to him she shouted, "I'm not a bloody fan girl you dumb ass! How thick can you be Tyson!"

"Tyson!" Looking over his shoulder he saw Ray, Max and Kenny run down the steps of the now damaged stadium. Kai and the men just calmly walked down the steps.

Catching his breathe after running in the cold Russian air Max said, "Tyson think back to when you were two."

"Yeah dude." Ray added, "You were playing in the park with someone, someone close to you, who was it?"

Arching a blue eyebrow Talie watched as Ray and Max said those words, "You guys know don't you?" They nodded along with Kenny.

"Know what! What's going on! All that I know is that I've got an annoying girl on my back who keeps telling me to remember her! I can't! So will somebody-" Before Tyson could finish his ranting something hit him hard in the face knocking him out.

Groggily Tyson began to open his eyes. The sound of shouting and arguing made him wake up. Groaning he put his hand over his face and sat up. Looking around he saw Max and Kenny kneeling beside him while Ray and Kai stood with Mr Dickinson and his Grandpa. But where was Talie and his dad?

"Hey Tyson you ok?" Kenny asked with a little bit of amusement in his voice.

Nodding his head slowly he asked, "Who happened, argh man why does my face hurt?" moving his hand from his face he looked at his friends who were trying not to laugh. "Why are you laughing?"

"Boy Tyson that's a shiner." Max laughed. "Didn't think it would come up so quick." Leaning forward he stared at Tyson.

Leaning back as Max leant forward Tyson scrambled to his feet and began poking both index fingers all over his face. When he touched around his left eye he flinched. "What happened?" He asked again.

Chuckling Ray answered, "You were ranting and Talie got annoyed with you so . . ." Turning to Max who was now laughing then back to Tyson, " . . . she punched to make you stop shouting in her face. You've been out for ten minutes. Now you've got a black, purple and blue eye." Indeed around his left eye was all the colours Ray said. When he closed his eye the bruise looked to be the size of a large golf ball.

"It couldn't have been that long." He pouted with a small blush on his cheekbones. He'd just been hit by a girl and was knocked unconscious. He'd never hear the end of this, especially from his team captain Kai.

"It's not my fault!" Talie shouted. The boys turned their attention to the girl that gave Tyson the black eye. She was currently arguing with Bruce. Well he was trying to calm her down while it was Talie's turn to start ranting.

Sighing he gave the Bladebreakers a sideways glance then quickly back to Talie. A sweatdrop on the side of his head as she shouted and rant.

Finally once she stopped ranting she took a deep breathe and sighed, "Good now have you calmed down?" She nodded, "Good now lets finish what we started." Walking over to Tyson and the others with Talie.

Tyson kept glaring at Talie for giving him a black eye. Crossing her arms she looked to the side also glaring but she was glaring at nothing in particular. "Well seeing as things got slightly out of hand." Mr Dickinson started, "Let me say that Bladebreakers, Talie will be joining the team. I know that her first impression didn't turn out the way we'd hoped but . . .she's a good blader with . . . amazing skills and techniques."

"What! She's joining the team! After what she did to me!" Looking shocked at Mr Dickinson.

"I don't see a problem with her joining the team." Ray said slinging his arm over her shoulder.

Doing the same Max slung his arm over her other shoulder, "It'll be fun having a girl on the team."

Smiling Talie looked at Tyson. He didn't look to happy. Closing her red eyes she reopened them and they were back to chocolate brown and her hair and canines going back to their normal shade and shape. "I'm sorry for giving you a black eye Tyson." Huffing he crossed his arms. Chuckling she said, "We're so alike it's kinda scary."

"Yeah well you should . . . " Realising what she just said he couldn't help but be confused, "What do you mean by we're so alike it's kinda scary?"

Talie rolled her eyes and shoock her head. Ray said, "Tyson haven't you noticed that you and Talie rant about something for a few minutes then your almost to completely calm again once your done?"

Growling Kai walked up to Tyson grabbed the collar of his jacket, dragged him over to Talie, grabbed her arm and stood them in front of one another. "Look at her and figure out who she is. And don't turn away until you have." Kai threatened narrowing his eyes.

Not liking the way Kai was looking at him, turned his attention to the girl in front of him. Quickly Talie started smiling. "Do you want me to just tell you who I am Tyson?" He nodded. "I'm . . . I'm your sister."
