AUTHOR'S NOTE: People? A miracle happened!!!!! A couple of weeks back in my usual thinking time (late at night when the whole house is quiet) a couple of brilliant ideas from my muses just hit me (figuratively) and it's those very ideas that have saved this story. Although they are all still on paper and that won't help you much so I really got to get busy with my writing!
Nina: I just had an idea too! Let's make Tyson get hit by a truck!!!!!
FQ: Thanks, but no thanks. Anyways……… This chapter is for all my patient reviewers and the not so patient ones too.
One last thing! To my very nice and kind to take her time but still not very healthy reviewer Mystery101, how in the hell did you get the idea for Kai and Max????????
Nina: Fairy Queen (now known as Demolition Angel) does not own Beyblade, just her OCs.

Chapter 3: Meanwhile in Russia…..
***VALKOV ABBEY***
"A former teammate? Well, that sounds almost promising, and for your own good Boris it better BE!" A voice from inside the computer screen roared at the purple haired man in front of it.
"I can assure you, sir, it most definitely is. Everything is completely planned out and I daresay, faultless." The man answered in a calm and reassuring tone.
"As I said, it better be." The voice inside the computer calmed down a little. "Because our last plan was a failure all because of those meddling Kids. Now, about Tala…?"
"All improvements have been made and all went as planned. He should be waking up any day now." Boris answered assuredly.
"Shouldn't have he had awakened by now?"
"He's just running a little late. That's all." Boris half lied
"You seem very sure of yourself, so I will leave you at it as I have other matters to attend to." And he left it at that.

On the other side of the abbey, five silhouetted figures stood towering above an old stone beystadium inside a darkened room. Two stood opposite to each other on either side of the large bowl. A third stood on the side with arms crossed as if umpiring the ongoing beyblade match and the last two just watched from a very short distance.
No one said a single word.
The only sound was the two beyblades spinning, which soon became one. The other stopped as it shot out of the beystadium and landed at the feet of the individual who stood as a sort of adjudicator in between the two who were battling. The figure bent down and as they picked up the blade the silence was broken by a whisper that escaped their lips;
"Perfect"
..~*~..
Boris got out of his chair and turned on his heel. He swiftly moved out the door and headed towards the stairs at the end of the hall. He descended them until they came to an end at a large wooden door. At the side of the which, there was a small device on which he placed his hand. The device lit up, beeped and in that instant the door opened slightly.
The room behind the door was huge. It was full of desks, computers and large white machines, which men and women in white coats used in the testing of the new 'recruits' to the abbey.
The whole laboratory was full of them. Both people and machines. Each and every one of them was working hard to do their job properly.
He walked on until he came to another door on the other side of the large area. Unlike the first, this one was metal but its security was just as heavy. Boris entered the door with as much ease as he did the other.
The room was small and fairly dark. Large computers and screens, which worked around the clock to ensure one of BIOVOLT's schemes went as planned, surrounded its inner perimeter. Aside from him, there were only two other people in the room. One was a fairly small, middle-aged woman with a mass of long blond hair tied tightly high up on her head. She wore a black turtleneck, a matching maroon jacket, skirt, and a loose white cloak, which matched those of the scientists he had previously seen. She was standing and reading something on a small screen in front of a large tank filled with green liquid, and also the location of the second person in this room. He was a young boy, about 15 or 16 years of age. He had vermillion hair, a fairly medium build and bright blue eyes that remained closed, as he was unconscious at that very moment.
"Ms. Arapova. Why am I not surprised to see you here?" Boris asked in a very sardonic, yet friendly tone. The blond woman turned her head slightly to face him.
She raised one of her thin blond eyebrows. "Good evening to you too. Mr. Valkov." As the woman spoke, traces of a Russian accent could be heard in her very firm voice.
"Now, Anna, how many times have I told you to call me Boris?"
"Hmph." She turned back to Tala. "Possibly the same number of times I have told you that something is terribly wrong. He should have awakened by now. But no, he is still lifeless."
"True…" Boris started "but you still worry too much my dear, the boy is fine and I'm sure he will be up and running any moment now."
"Firstly, don't lie to me, Boris. Second, I am not your dear." She started raising her voice slightly as Boris tried to interrupt her. "Third, you and I both know that you don't give half a damn about these kids. Which means I really have no choice but to worry enough for the both of us. And fourth and last, I am getting very sick of you referring to Tala as some broken machine
Boris chuckled. The woman, unquestionably, was no pushover, that's for sure. "Well if it makes you feel any better, even Voltaire agrees with you on one of the subjects."
"And which subject might that be?" Anna took a couple of steps towards the very irritating man who was still at the door.
"The subject of Tala. I'm talking, of course about how you were saying that he should have woken up by now.He is getting very impatient, you see. As you may know the arcade tournament starts in a couple of days and…" Unexpectedly, at that very moment Boris was interrupted by a strange but loud beeping sound. Anna took something out of the pocket of her cloak. It was her pager- a very loud one at that.
"Will you excuse me," Not taking her eyes of the undersized box of bolts I really don't have time for this completely pathetic exchange of cocky little comments" But as she was about to step outside another familiar low hissing sound filled the room. Both Anna & Boris turned to face its source in the very centre of the laboratory.
He has finally awakened…………
* * * * *
Tala's P.O.V.He heard the glass open and felt the cords release him. His eyes snapped open… but he could not see a thing. There was a lot of noise in the room… some people rushing and talking very quickly.
He then noticed a strange and unpleasant feeling inside his head. It was agonizingly strong. He wanted it to stop so badly.
He took a couple of steps forward but found his legs were too heavy so as soon he stepped off the small platform he collapsed to his knees.
"Tala!" A familiar woman's voice cried out. He tried to get up or at least to turn around to see her but discovered that he was simply too weak to move and the image in front of his eyes was blurry.
It was all so new to him; the piercing feeling inside his head, the blurry vision, and the inability to move…. Something must have gone terribly wrong with the new updates because he hadn't felt any of that ever since he was made into a cyborg.
Tala made one more feeble attempt to get up but failed miserably. Instead, everything around him spun in circles so fast and he simply found it too unbearable……
And that was it.

End of chapter 3
..~*~..
And there it is.
Short and sweet. AND if you use logic you may figure out a couple of other things that might be, or are happening in the story.
So, now that writer's block is gone I'll be updating this sooner than usual.
Thank god for that.
