Chapter Ten: Breaking

It wasn't like he didn't see it. He just didn't want to. Somewhere between reality and fantasy was a large hole. A mistake in the plans of creation, and somehow, he ended in the center. And the other knew it.

After searching for so long, his answer was coming in the last source he'd ever return to. Of course, it wasn't as if it was still running, though who knows what he could've done. Escaped to some underground lab, went to another country holding an exact replica of it, hidden behind the shadows.

He had made up some excuse of meeting an old friend to keep his blue-haired friend from suspecting too much. But knowing the phoenix, he was still suspicious.

"One ticket to Russia, please."

He handed over money as the small paper was slipped into his hand. Lifting up his back and slinging it easily over his shoulder, the wolf took off to the plane, which was currently boarding.

Sitting in his seat, Tala pushed his bag in the overhead compartment and sat down, waiting for the plane to lift off.

'Never thought I'd end up coming back...'

The rest of the team was waiting for him as he had called before. They weren't much more than surprised.

"Welcome back, Tala. Haven't seen you in a while." A short blue haired boy (Aku: or is it more of a purple color? I have no idea... I'm color blind x.x) said as he stepped out from the alleyway, and onto the sidewalk where the wolf was. Tala merely nodded at the boy, acknowledging his presence. A blonde boy, standing tall and built, stepped out from behind the shorter one, but didn't say a word.

"Why are you back here?" Another one stepped out from the alley's darkness. His hair a shade of white, being as cold as his nature. His eyes, impassive ones as usual, staying focused on the boy before him, not a semblance of kindness in those eyes. His built stayed strong and his form stood proud, but the other still looked down on him, found him weaker.

Not that Tala had really meant to look down on the others, finding them inferior, but it was the way he was trained, brought up, forced into being. He had to be proud, arrogant, and feel far superior to others, but of course needing the skills to back it up. Which, to say, he did have them.

"I need some information."

"Business as always." Bryan sneered and looked away from the former captain.

"What's it this time?" Ian asked, curious as to what the wolf could possibly want all the way in Russia.

"Can you hack into the Abbey personnel files?"

"Sure can." The short boy said smugly, but then confusion briefly flashed in his eyes. "What you need those for? The Abbey hasn't been running for two years now, at least here in Russia."

"Just the past catching up." Tala said, hiding his eyes behind the walls he was able to build up when he was only a child.

Ian looked over to Bryan, who nodded. "Alright, Tala." The Demolition Boys, reunited with their captain, headed over to remains of the once most notorious operations in the world.

Getting to work and hacking into the systems like a professional, Ian began his search for the personnel files the wolf needed. The three stood in silence, eyes never meeting.

After a few more minutes, Bryan broke the silence as his hard gaze looked over at the redhead. Feeling eyes scorching through him, trying to unravel him, silver eyes looked up in calm, yet dangerous flow to the other.

"What do you want?" Tala finally became irritated and asked.

"It's about your little 'toy' isn't it?" Bryan said, in disgust and mockery. Reacting before any motion could be seen, the wolf had pinned the other up against the nearest wall by the throat.

"What did you say?"

Trying to show no fear, the white-haired boy said firmly, "I said that because of 'him', you've forgotten where you came from."

A quick knee to the stomach, made the taller double over. The wolf merely glared down at his former teammate.

"Done." Ian spoke up after the little scene as Spencer merely eyed the former captain, as he walked casually over to the computer. There on the screen were the files to every person who had ever entered the Abbey and the history of each occupant.

Tala's silver eyes brightened with success, but his face kept his impassive face up. Slipping a disk out of his pocket, he inserted it into the computer and began to download all the files.

Tala quickly opened a program up and started to type. Curiosity getting the better of him, the shorter boy peeked over the wolf's shoulder, until he got a pair of angry eyes. Knowing not to mess with the other, Ian quickly stepped back to where Spencer was and where Bryan was finally regaining his composure.

A few minutes passed and the wolf stood, faced the others and walked away being a farewell to them and he walked out. They would probably never meet again after that was the thought on each of their minds.

On the plane ride back home, Tala inserted the disk into his laptop when all the other passengers seemed to have fallen asleep. He began to upload the program to his laptop and became impatient as it only hit 20%.

'Why is it so fucking slow?' Tala cursed at the laptop and sighed as he leaned back and waited, his thoughts returning to the very reason he was out here.

Then a 'ding' caught his attention as he looked back to the screen to see a box that had popped up reading: You have 1 new message(s).

Seeing as the uploading was only up to 22%, Tala opened the email to pass the time and his eyes quickly narrowed at the email address he easily recognized.

'Boris.' Was all it took to cause hatred to boil in his blood. This was the reason he was out here in the first place.

The Biovolt was still alive and with a new Demolition Boys, the wolf being the captain for that one also. 'Cept he was never at the new Abbey location because Boris had left it confidential. In fact, the only ones to know the location were Boris himself and the scientists that worked there.

This Abbey no longer took in bladders to manipulate, but was more focused on just the Demolition Boys, who were trained in different areas. This was the full-proof plan in keeping Biovolt alive. Keep everything more secure and more protected from the outside world.

Tala -

Report back about your case on subject 1. You are to return subject 1 by third lunar. Subject 1 is to be brought back alive. If failure is met, death will be patent.

Delete.

Tala quickly disposed of the email and sighed once again. This was his mission. This was his reason. But he was going to find out as much before he had to go through with it.

'Third lunar.' He decoded the words in his mind, which gave him only six weeks.

He looked back at the program he was uploading...

30%

'GODDAMNIT!!!!!!' Tala cursed in as many languages as he knew, finally finding things to keep him distracted from the "fucking slow piece of shit" as he liked to name it.

Tala thought about his phoenix and wondered if he had been right. An idea soon popped up in his mind, as the puzzle pieces would soon be put together. He just needed the pieces.

Glancing again and knowing he was going to get angry, he looked at the progress now.

30.5%

'WHAT?!?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!??!' Tala screamed in his mind and twitched. He calmed down once the laptop seemed to respond to his death threat as it went to 40%.

The wolf then came to a realization and thanked the slow progress. After this was done, Kai wouldn't be the same in his eyes was the most possible outcome. He would know so much more about the mysterious phoenix. Everything Boris and Voltaire knew of him. And he hated to admit it, but they knew so much more than he did.

'Once this finishes, I probably won't look at Kai the same...' Tala thought, the seriousness of the situation finally getting to him. After having blocked away most of his emotions for so long, he was slow when it came to these sorts of things.

As half an hour passed, the screen read: 100% Upload Complete.

Hesitating over the mouse touch pad, the wolf was now at a lost as to what to do. He was so sure before that it was simple as getting the information and knowing. But now he got the bigger picture.

Tala's eyes narrowed in frustration. He opened the program and went to the unlocked personnel section. Scanning down the names, he reached the one he was searching for. Hiwatari Kai. His eyes widened at the size of the folder, as it was probably larger than all the others put together. Even the Demolition Boys. Apparently, Kai was more important to Voltaire and Biovolt than most knew.

The wolf was now being forced into opening the folder from his raging curiosity, but restrained from his fear of what would the outcome be, what exactly he would learn that he would regret later on, what he was really getting himself into?

'Am I going too far?' Tala asked himself. Kai's face came into his mind, the flawless beauty before his mind was staring at him, secrets hidden behind those passionate crimson eyes.

***

"Max!!!!! MAX!!!!!!" A voice screamed with pure concern and worry. Eyes were holding their regret and sorrow, reaching out to the one the voice called to. "Max... please..."

The dragon sank to the floor, finding himself hopeless before the closed door. He could feel it. Something was wrong. His heart burned with pain and his mind told him to just run the door down.

But for once in his life, he felt out of strength, out of courage. He had hurt the one person he would give his life up before hurting. So did this mean he was dead?

Tears began to slip down his face and he merely stared into the door, feeling hollow and broken inside, not even aware at similar feelings going through the blonde inside. Except blue eyes frozen into ice. Into impassive eyes that didn't fit his face and would never fit it.

Kenny watched the scene with distressed eyes. A taller boy with blonde hair wrapped his arms around the small brunette's shoulder, a lightly kissing along his neck, silently pleading.

Kenny looked down, not wanting his love to see his sorrow-filled eyes. "I'm afraid..." The small boy's body shuddered under the emotion he was holding in. Yasashiku quickly turned the other around and held his closely and tightly.

A laptop slipped to the ground, as the brunette's hands held onto the blonde's shirt for security, comfort, escape. Yasashiku held the boy tighter, sending him the signal of comfort and reassurance as the boy cried softly.

His blue eyes looked over to the broken dragon, sitting by the door of a certain blonde Bladebreaker. And then scanned to the locked door of the once happy-go-lucky boy. It was all slowly breaking apart. Kenny's fear might be coming true after all.

The Bladebreakers... might no longer be.

To Be Continued...
