Chapter 13
(Never thought I`d get this far!)

Tyson`s body jerked with the force of `Power` that Tala thrust into him.

His eyes snapped open. All he could see was blackness, though he was getting used to it now. His other senses were taking over. He knew someone was with him, but not who.

Tyson felt the coldness leave his body, having been frozen from being outside in the snow. The room he was in now had no heater.

He was still in pain. His mind was confused which left fear in his heart. He had been shouting for hours after he had woken up, until his voice became hoarse.

Uncertain of himself he asked shakily "Who`s there?"

There was no answer.

Tyson sighed, how long had he been here? He had lost track of time. Was it hours? Days? Or longer ?

"Is anybody here?" he asked still unsure if he was talking to himself. Was he going mad?

Tala watched with interest. The boy seemed to be coping well under the circumstances; many would have cracked by now, under the strain. No wonder his bit beast had chosen him to control the Power it held. The Dragoon needed a worthy host, and had found it in Tyson.

Tala crouched in front of Tyson, only inches away from his face. Had Tyson`s sight come back suddenly, he would have jumped back in surprise at Tala`s closeness.

Tyson lowered his head, shaking it slowly from side to side as if to clear it. "I`m going mad. Where are you?" Tyson mentally called out to Kai again.

He had first mentally called Kai for help when he woke, and could have sworn he`d heard Kai answer him, telling him that he was coming. He clung onto that hope, but maybe he had imagined it. After all, why would Kai help him? Tyson loved Kai, worshipped him. And Kai, well Kai seemed to detest Tyson.

Or did he?

Max had told him once that Kai only acted cold because he was used to looking out for himself, having no one else to rely on. Then, suddenly he was thrown in with the Blade breakers and that must have really messed him up. Because they all became `close`.

They had all seen how, over the time they had spent together, that Kai was beginning to show he did contain some compassion, despite the `front` he still put up.

Tyson lived with that hope. Maybe one day, Kai would let his mask fall away. Then Tyson could come in and meet the real Kai.

But until that day...........he would dream.

Tala brought his hand up towards Tyson`s face. Hooking his finger under Tyson`s chin, he raised Tyson's head up slowly.

Tyson, deep in his thoughts, had a delayed reaction to Tala`s first touch. He tried to flinch away from the unknown entity.

"Who..?" His voice sounded gruff, and weak. Lack of food and drink, his highly-strung emotions, and the uncomfortable position he was in didn`t help.

Tala held his chin; Tyson was unable to break away. Still his unseen predator did not speak. Tyson began to sweat.

"Talk damn you!" His voice a little stronger now he knew there was defiantly someone there, "Who the hell are you? Let me go, you coward!"

This was met by a smirk from Tala, but silence was all Tyson received. And it was really beginning to piss-him-off.

Tala began to stroke Tyson's cheek with one finger; with his other hand he trailed the length of Tyson's cuffed arms.

Tyson shuddered, a chill running down his spine, at contact, from an unknown source.

"Don`t touch me you perv!" he shouted, trying to wriggle free. "For Gods sake, let me go!"

Tala was enjoying himself immensely, the fact that Tyson was restrained and completely at his mercy, without him having to use his `charm`, really turned him on.

He slid his free hand down Tyson`s neck and across his chest, still holding Tyson`s head with his other hand he moved forward to kiss him seductively on the lips.

Tyson squirmed uselessly being pressed back into the wall. Unable to talk anymore, or breathe for that matter, he cried out in his mind for help. His head filled with shock and horror of the unwanted intrusion. He screamed inwardly at his helplessness. He had never been one to sit back and be controlled.

This was his nightmare.

He was trapped in it.

Tears fell down his face, he began to shake inside as fear began to enfold him, his muscles taunt from the dirty feeling left from him from being touched.

Tala pressed his lips harder on Tyson`s mouth, taking in the fear and relishing it. Pushing his tongue inside he tasted Tyson`s essence and found him irresistible.

Tala`s other hand explored Tyson`s clothed body, taking in every curve and clenched muscle. The way Tyson reacted to his touch made him realise that Tyson had never been touched before.

Even better.

Tyson would learn to love him, and how to be loved by him, and him alone.

Tyson screamed out in anguish within his mind, panic overtaking him completely.

Tala released his kiss to take a breath, and decided to have a look inside Tyson`s mind. Moving both hands up to hold Tyson`s face between his hands, Tala`s eyes began to glow red.............

==================================

Once back in the hotel Kenny and Max sat down on the sofa to discuss what their next move should be. Kai had gone into the bedroom to see if he could make any kind of contact with Tyson.

He sat on his bed next to the window, Tyson`s shoes still on the floor where Max had left them. His hat on the table next to Kai`s bed.

Kai picked it up and stared at it hard. The things that Saska had told them ran through his thoughts, if Dragoon was helping Tyson, would his own bit beast help him?

Pulling out Dranzer with his other hand, he balanced his sight between the two of them. "Dranzer, if ever you help me, let it be now!"

Closing his eyes for a second, he pictured a smiling Tyson winning the tournament, hugging everyone in sight. The way his face lit up every time someone mentioned food, how this hat he was holding held his hair out of his piercing blue eyes.

Opening his own eyes, Kai glanced at that very hat.

Giving a deep sigh, Kai turned his concentration on to his blade, still thinking of Tyson and willing Dranzer to help him find his blue-eyed friend.

The Blade responded.

Dranzer began to hum in response, glowing and humming in time together. Kai`s eyes also started to glow.

=========

Dragoon felt his master's terror and knew he had to protect him. Unable to reach through the panic filled mind he now travelled elsewhere. Not willing to give up his master's innocence to an un-honourable person, or someone that he was not in love with.

The Power that Dragoon had given Tyson always required his master to be completely in control of himself, with good intentions. Otherwise it would destroy him if he tried to use it.

Dragoon flew to the only other bit beast that was as powerful as he and also knew his master. The three of them had a special link.

Dranzer.

The fiery phoenix had a brief moment with his Tyson, and Dragoon and Dranzer had then realized that their masters were `compatible`.

Right now, she was his only hope. She had to get Kai to stop Tyson from losing himself in the torture of Tala. Dragoon had certain powers that could protect Tyson`s closest memories and deepest secrets from Tala. But if Tyson gave up, even Dragoon would not be able to help his master, in a battle or in his mind.

The link he had with Tyson was unique. Never before had any bit beast spoken to his or her master.

They were special.

Connected, if one was injured, so was the other.

If Tyson was `over-come`, so would Dragoon be, doomed to become a slave to whoever controlled Tyson.

That MUST not happen.
