Well here's another chapter and I hope that you all like it as much as the rest of the story.


9. Friends Unite

Kai was carried down the halls to the cell that Ben had stumbled upon the day before.

The boy asked curiously, "What the hell are we doing here?"

"Oh you'll see," Boris' sinister voice replied an evil smirk plastered on his face.

On second thought I don't want to know, Kai thought the man's delight alarming him.

The cell door creaked open and Kai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he noticed his sister cowering in the darkness of the room.

"You bastard I'm going to kill you. How dare you bring her here she doesn't deserve this?" Kai roared his entire body filled with rage.

"You're the one who brought this upon her, now you will learn to control your emotions or the both of you will suffer," Boris grinned punching the boy in the stomach.

Punches and kicks fell upon Kai's body as he was thoroughly beaten. He wanted to fight back but thought better of it not wanting his sister to have to experience any pain. Though to his dismay once finishing with the boy Boris drew a long knife and stabbed the helpless girl in the arm. As blood trickled from the wound she screamed in agony from the pain of metal boring into her soft flesh.

Boris walked from the cell allowing the children some time alone giving the evil man a chance to toy with their emotions. Disappearing into the distance the evil man thought, Now that her brother knows that Kayla is here I'm going to have to keep tighter security on that brat's cell.

"Sis, are you okay," Kai called running over to comfort her.

Thrusting herself into his loving arms she cried, "Kai I wanna go home."

"Shh I know its ok," he soothed stroking her blue head.

Sitting there for a while the girl's blue eyes fluttered closed and she fell into a deep sleep. Gently resting her on the ground Kai exited the cell returning to the harshness of his training.


By the time that Boris had left with Kai and Bree had resolved to go find her brothers Beyblade training had ended and a rush of kids swarmed from the room on their way to do the tedious and annoying laps.

Bree caught up with her brothers and said, "Hey guys got a minute."

"Just until our legs start turning to jelly on the track," her twin answered.

Curiously the other boy asked, "So what was Boris screaming about this time?"

"Nothing too important just got in a bit of trouble. Anyway Kai and his sister are Hiwataris," she replied nervous of how the boys would react.

Questioning what she'd said Ben asked, "You're kidding right?"

"Bree's the serious one remember joking is your job Ben," Bryan replied.

"I know but they can't be related to Voltaire they're too…"

"Good," Bree finished the twins saying the word in unison.

"You've got a point but it makes sense. Why else would they bring a three year old here and Boris seems pretty keen on making Kai's life miserable," Bryan thought out loud in a voice of reason.

"So do you guys think we can trust him?" Bree asked as they drew closer to the room where they did their laps.

"We're just as bad being Boris' kids and don't forget he did chase after you knowing who's daughter you are," Ben answered actually talking some sense.

"Yeah alright bro," Bree replied.

"AHHH Ben Balkov actually knocking sense into someone, we're all going to die!" Bryan screamed running off ahead of his siblings

"Come on Ben we might as well catch up to him and get our stupid laps over with," Bree suggested the two off to begin the afternoon's training.


Kai made it back just in time to begin his own laps. He wanted to talk to his friends but with the torment of his sister and shock with finding out who his friends' father was he wasn't sure if he could.

Poor Kayla I'm gonna murder that damn bastard next time he tries torturing her. What about Bree though she had to have heard Boris use my last name. She probably told the others I'm related to damn fucking Voltaire and now they'll hate me for sure, Kai though as he went around the track.

Finally after hours the laps were all done and it was time to conk out in his cell. Though the floor was cold at least he was able to sleep for the few hours of night before dawn. To Kai's dismay while the children were on their way out Boris held him back.

"Kai, Bree, Bryan and Tala come with me," he sneered and the four friends without having a choice reluctantly followed Boris.

The children were disappointed to not be able to go get some shut eye as they were led down the underground halls to a secret room. Inside there were Beydishes the room appearing to be yet another spot in the twisted facility to train Beyblading.

"Now you children have fun I have work to do," Boris smirked and as he left the echoes of his laughter filled the ears of the four Beybladers.

Before they were able to ask any questions the four gazed upon an elderly man who stood at the centre of the chamber. None of them needed to ask who this was they all knew the answer. It was Voltaire Hiwatari, Kai's grandfather and upon realizing that they were trapped here with the fiend the children's eyes' turned bloodshot or into cold hard icicles, depending on the colour. They all knew that though Voltaire ran the abbey and was Boris' boss he himself never showed up unless whatever the problem was really important and he believed it demanded his attention.

"Hello children, you four have been selected to enlist in our Russian Beyblading team the Demolitions. Training is here every night after the rest of your duties have been met. You will prepare for the first annual World Championships in four years and until then will eat, sleep and breathe Beyblade until you can hold your own in a hopeless situation. Do I make myself clear?" The old man ordered describing what was going on to the young Beybladers in front of him.

Rather than say anything the recruits nodded or just stood silently and positioned themselves around the Beydishes. Tala and Kai were facing off in one and Bryan and Bree competing in the other. They went through the routine of launching, and trying to bring down their opponent silently frightened to spark the attention of the evil man whose eyes never left the four youngsters. This made them all nervous and they performed badly, the whole concept of blading until they were ready to die was part of the daily training but having evil Voltaire staring down at their backs and punishing them violently for screw ups was a whole new concept to them. After training for nearly half the night they were finally allowed to leave though Kai was stopped by his grandfather.

"Seeing your performances I feel that you should be the team captain boy," Voltaire said to him.

"But wouldn't Tala or Bryan be better they're the oldest," the boy protested.

"Yes but you're the best. Perhaps I could one day see you becoming the best Beyblader in the world," the evil man suggested.

The last remark gained Kai's attention sparking the boy's interest as he turned the idea over in his mind.

"Off to your cell even with the extra training I still expect you to be up at the regular time."

Without another word Kai fled the horrible presence of the bastard he so despised praying he would be able to catch up with the others. Though unfortunately he had just missed them and alone he slinked off to his desolate cell lying awake for a while lost in thought about the events that had occurred that day.


The next morning Bree had to hound her brothers to get them to move out of bed. It was like trying to move dead people very nearly impossible. Eventually jumping on and punching them she actually got them to move and they made their vigorous trek down to the training rooms in the underground facility. The three siblings and Kai weren't really speaking unsure of what the other's reaction would be. Tala strolled down the halls in a fairly good mood for not being able to sleep until almost one in the morning.

Pulling the red head over Bree said, "Tala would you be able to talk to Kai for me?"

"Can't you do it yourself you two are buddies right," Tala replied.

"Well yeah but it seems like he thinks I'm mad at him. Could you talk to him tell him my brothers and I aren't mad?" She asked again more sincerely this time she really wanted to able to talk with her blue haired friend again.

"Alright I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks Tala," Bree replied and the boy walked off into the Beyblading room.

Later that day Tala during the daily break they were given Tala bumped into Kai.

"Hey dude didn't notice ya there," Tala said in apology.

"It's alright, Tala could you do me a favour?"

Great here we go again, the boy thought and replied, "Sure."

"Could you tell Bree and the others that I'm not mad at them? I don't care whose kids they are and I still want to be friends with them. The only reason I've been keeping to myself is that I'm still worried about my sister and I have to do everything I can to take care of her," Kai said his eyes burning with a pale fire.

"You know they don't care about your heritage either so why don't you guys go kiss and make up?"
"You're kidding right?"

"Yes it's an expression it means to go make peace with them," Tala replied, "Just go talk to them."

"I don't know," Kai said uncertainly and went off to do his laps.

Once the laps were done the four team mates out of the five friends traveled through the abbey to where Voltaire waited for them. Silently as the day before the children went through their exercise stopping only when Voltaire had approved their efforts of the day and they were allowed to go to bed. This time Kai was not held back and the four friends left together.

I have to do It today, even if he hates me I have to talk to him, Bree thought closing the distance between her and the younger boy.

"Hey what's up," she said to him when she had gotten into his range of hearing.

"Oh nothing much just thinking about stuff."

"You know my brothers and I aren't mad. We've trusted each other and been friends this long you don't seem anything like that bastard."

"That's good to hear I'm not mad either you know. A little shocked maybe but I know what it's like to have to put up with someone like that my grandfather isn't exactly the nicest man in the universe," Kai replied gaining giggles from the girl and the two other boys.

"Hey Bry isn't that sweet they finally got up the courage to talk to each other," Tala teased playfully elbowing his friend.

"Yeah now all we need to do is talk to Ben but seeing how Bree came around he probably won't be that hard he's mostly a chicken anyway," Bryan added.

Kai and Bree sent their friends cold glares in order to shut them up and the two older boys actually did.

The companions parted and said their goodbyes preparing themselves for another endless day but with the remainder of the group on speaking terms again they felt that they were ready to concur anything.


Yay finally I've finished another chapter. If I get some good feedback maybe just maybe it'll give me the strength I need to update. Well I hope you all liked it as much as I did and please review.
