I can remember everything like it happened just yesterday. Balkov Abbey. Voltaire, Boris. Oh and then there was Kai, Voltaire's very own Grandson. How could Voltaire put his own grandson in that dreadful place? Well it wasn't always dreadful. I can remember the first year was blissful, happy. Then it started 'Operation Enhancement' it was called. We were to go through a rigorous training program to make us into the ultimate beybladers. If we didn't obey Voltaire and Boris then we were tortured with a whip until our backs were red raw, and then if they weren't satisfied they would continue until we blacked out. The torture was a test to see who was strong and who wasn't, if you screamed you would get tortured even more. I got tortured once maybe twice a week because I kept disobeying them. We were also marked with small letters carved into the middle of our backs; BC. It stood for Biovolt Corporation.

The Operation Enhancement program taught us that emotions were a sign of weakness. So we were taught not to show them through our speech, actions or eyes. If they saw emotions then they would whip you. They also tested you, drugged you to make your immune system better then someone that wasn't training at the Abbey etc.

But that was 11 years ago. I'm 16 now.

Kai left the abbey ages ago to compete in the world tournaments. It had been 6 years since I last seen him.

Royalphoenix: please review and sent me suggestions. I don't know when I will be able to update though. Thanks.
