I know it's been a while and I'm soo sorry! I've been overloaded. So here's chapter 4!

"Is…is he alive?" Gary asked softly.

Rick closed his eyes and turned away, "no." he whispered.

"How could you know!" Lee shouted, his voice softening some at Tala's shiver, "you… you didn't even check his pulse." The American raised a muscled arm and pointed. "See for yourself."

Lee glowered for a moment before walking over to the fallen teen. What he saw he would never forget.

Lee struggled to keep a scream as well as what was left of his breakfast down. The others came closer and experienced the same feeling of nausea.

Pale blue orbs stared back at them emptily. There really was no doubt that Spencer was dead. After all, a body can't live without its head.

Mariah put a hand over her mouth and fell to her knees in tears. One by one they were all being taking down. How could something like this possibly happen?

"And after all that talk about not wanting to have to deal with these guys anymore," Rick muttered with a shake of his head. Mariah's head shot up.

"HELLO!" she shouted. "They're DEAD! No one wished for that!" her eyes narrowed, filling up with tears again. "I- I can't believe this is happening to us."

"You can't believe? What about Tala? He needs help…and fast." All eyes turned to the red-haired Russian. He still sat at his place on the bed, curled up and shaking. Lee reached out a hand to him but pulled away last second. Gary walked over to him and put a gentle finger on his shoulder, causing the teen to look up suddenly, eyes shimmering with fear.

"It's okay, Tala." He said slowly, softly. "We're not gonna hurt you. Are…are you alright?" Long lashes lowered, covering his blue eyes.

"Kai…" he whispered. Kevin blinked in surprise.

"Did… did Kai do this…" he asked. The mass of red bobbed up and down slowly. The White Tigers and All Star (note the singularity) looked at each other and frowned. Rick's fingers curled into fists then uncurled themselves again. He walked over to Tala and gently picked him up, careful not to jerk him in any way. He looked down, white (?) hair covering his eyes.

Let's just go, okay."

They were walking down a long hallway now. And down, and down and down... Man! What was with this house (ha! House!) and long hallways? They were all brought out of this reverie about hallways by a banging sound and soft shouting. They looked at one another and the same thought passed through all of their minds, 'do I really want to know what that is?'

But of course curiosity and their sense of justice won over and they were left going after the sound.

(As you can soon tell, I don't remember Garland's hair color. Someone PLEASE let me know!)

Brooklyn had Garland pushed up against the wall, hands clasped around his neck.

"Stop…P-Please." He whispered. "I'll d- be better this time I promise…I promise"

Garland let out a gasp and winced slightly, shutting his eyes tightly in pain as he was dealt with a slap in the face. Brooklyn's eyes glared darkly, tightening his grip on Garland's neck.

"You've said that already haven't you?" Brooklyn mummered softly, leaning closer and lightly breathing on his neck, making the other teen blush and shiver.

"Stop it Brooklyn! You asshole! Can't you see he's weaker than you!" Lee shouted. Brooklyn glowered slightly though he smirked. He let Garland go, the other teen falling to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Prove yourself to me." Garland's head shot up. "What?" he asked.

"You heard me." He said, turning to look at the fallen teen. "Prove yourself and take down these brats for me." He glanced at Lee, "especially that one." He growled. Garland eyes shifted to them and he took a deep breath standing up.

"Yes sir." He murmured. Brooklyn smirked, nodding lightly before disappearing.

Garland put his hand together and close to his chest in a prayer motion, his eyes closed tightly. His eyes shot open, glowing a bloody red. He put one hand in front him, his body lowering itself closer to the ground. He disappeared.

They gasped, and then did so again when Garland reappeared in front of Lee. His hand curled into a fist and delivered a punch into the Chinese teen's stomach, sending him flying back to the wall, which opened up to greet him.

Garland spun around and delivered a kick to the front of Rick's neck, sending him skidding backward and Tala out of his arms to the ground where he landed with a thump.

2 down, 3 to go.

Garland disappeared once more and appeared behind Kevin. Mariah gasped (they do a lot of that these days, don't they?) softly.

"Kevin! Watch out behind you!" Kevin spun around, his eyes widened slightly as Garland's lean arms wrapped themselves around him. The 2 then disappearing.

And then there were two.

Much longer than usual! I hope you all liked it! PLEASE review. It keeps me alive and evil. Mwahahahaah!...I mean he he (smiles innocently)
