Hey. Here's your new chapter. ^__^
Disclaimer: Don't own beyblade. XP
~`~,*|*`~,~
Tala sat in an uncomfortable yellow plastic chair in yet another bland room. He bounced his leg in rhythm with the music playing softly over the intercom. It was annoyingly like a hospital in here, bringing back unpleasant memories. As each person entered he looked up, inpatient for his time to start. He fidgeted with his bag next to the chair.
He was in a waiting room in the BBA's research centre. He was supposed to be here five minutes from now. He had been hoping to be able to get in early, but it didn't look like it. He was waiting for a Dr. Judy and a Dr. Strauss to meet him here.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Judy guided the red-head teenager down the hall. He looked through the glass paneled walls down to a lower level where groups of children of various ages beybattled in dishes. There were several people in white coats similar to the ones all the doctors he had seen so far wearing standing by some of the bowls.
He quickened his step to stride next to the female scientist. "What will I be doing?" he asked, adjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder.
"I want you to battle some of out trainees first. We need to study how the implants interact with Wolborg and your beyblading. Besides," she glanced at him and smiled. "It will be good training for our kids to battle someone as skilled as you."
Tala frowned thoughtfully. "I don't beybattle much any more. I don't want to hurt any one."
"Have a little faith in yourself, Tala. You won't hurt anyone if you don't want to. But if you're not comfortable with it..."
"No, I'll do it," he rushed. He didn't want to loose his chance now.
Judy looked at him oddly as if she knew what he was doing.
"Tala, don't feel pressured into any of this. If you don't want to do anything just tell us. I think most of it we could get around in some way or another."
Tala was silent. She may say he had a choice, but really if he wanted something done to make his life better, he needed to help their research here at the center.
They reached a set of spiral stairs that headed down to the floor. Judy pressed a button on her headset and spoke into it. "Alright everybody. We have a guest here today and I want the senior class to stay and the rest of the classes can adjourn for the day to dorms."
There was some scattered cheering from the younger kids as the senior kids muttered among themselves. Tala noted that they all looked to be about 13 or 14. About his age when he won the World Championships for the first time. He wondered mildly how much of a challenge they would be.
Really, he had heard about how much more elite the BBA's trainees had become, dominating the new tournaments, but they couldn't hold up to experience. Or a bitbeast.
He gave a sly grin as they went down a set of stairs to the ground floor they had seen from above. When he got to the bottom he saw, with much relief that the bladers had given up on most of their specialized equipment, compared to what his team had to go against. Personally, he found it all very tacky and glitzy.
Tala saw the murmurs and glances pass between the younger kids and automatically put up his face. The icy glare that moved over the group automatically quieted them. If they had lasted this long in the system they must be pretty dedicated, and if they were dedicated they would have seen him battle. Thus, intimidation.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Another beyblade ground to a halt outside the stadium. Tala was quickly becoming bored and knew Wolborg was as well. He was restraining himself, keeping his full power to himself. He knew better than anyone how much damage he could inflict and he definitely knew it wouldn't be a good thing if he let go of himself and really battled. Besides the fact that none of these bladers could hold up for very long, even without the wolf bitbeast.
Tala ignored the bladers as they whispered complaints and looked over to where Judy was standing with a grey-haired man looking to be the other doctor who was supposed to be in on this project.
Judy walked forward to him from behind the console, a frown on her face. Tala sighed knowing what was going to come next.
"Tala, you're not even meeting the basic information we picked up in the World tournament. You can't keep holding back. We need how powerful you are at your full power in order to know how much the system is integrated into your body and how tight your connection to Wolborg is in order to predict what the computer's reaction will be if we operate."
Tala frowned as the students watched curiously, not really understanding what was going on.
"Judy, I understand your concerns in this subject, but I cannot allow myself to unleash the power I have on another human being. Everyone knows the damage I wreaked on Tyson, and he had the most powerful bitbeast known to us to protect him!"
Judy sighed and pinched her nose.
"Tala, what do you want me to do?"
The red-head watched her, unable to come up with anything. They stood in silence for a while.
"Let's just wait and sleep on it for a while. Can you come back tomorrow?" Judy finally said.
Tala nodded and turned to the dish where Wolborg was still spinning. He silently held out his hand and the blade returned to it.
"See you tomorrow then."
~`~,*|*`~,~
Tala stepped out of the large complex and leant up against a wall waiting for his taxi to arrive.
So she had lied after all, as he had suspected she would. She had said he had a choice, whereas if he wanted them to help him, he needed to help them. This was going to be difficult.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Ahhhh! That took so long!!! XD I'm so sorry you guys, but I had another fic that's kind of on priority. XP I'll try and get this fic done, even if it takes a month for the next chapter to get done. Hopefully that won't happen again.
