Tala
Notes: This is Doctor Cara Shernovov re-evaluating the mental status of Patient 1276 Tala Inovov after having his sensory chip removed.
Doc: So Tala how are you doing with everything?
Tala: (Heavy sigh) Well no offense doctor S but im in a mental hospital. So No. I'm not doing that well.
Doc: Well Tala as ive told you before once you prove that if released you can be a productive member of society, your free to leave.
Tala: How do I do that?
Doc: Well you can start by answering my questions truthfully. Ok?
Tala: (sigh) Ok.
Doc: Alright, you told me in your last interview that your mother was a junkee who gave you to her dealers to pay off her drug debt. would you like to elaborate on that a bit?
Tala: (shrug) I pretty much took care of myself before I went to Biovolt. I learned to walk and talk and take care of my self at a young age. And I stold food and money when i needed it. I did alright without her. She never really paid that much attention to me.
Doc: What changed?
Tala: Well i was four and i remember i was asleep in an abandoned house we were staying in at the time with my mom and little brother.
Doc: You have a brother?
Tala: (nods) Carlo, he was a new born then. Anyway we were sleeping and mom was strung out when the drug dealers busted in demanding their money. They were beating her up and she was so high she didnt care. They had guns and were gonna shoot her til they saw me. They said I was a cute kid, that they knew a guy who would take me for a good price. My mom accepted. And they took me to Borris who paid her debt for me.
Doc: How do you feel about you mother doing that to you?
Tala: (shrug) She never really cared about me anyway, so it didnt make much of a difference. Borris seemed to actuall care at first glance. i thought i was moving up in the world.
Doc: But that wasnt so. Was it Tala?
Tala: (grimace) No. He told me of all the great plans he had to make the world a better place, and I was young and stupidly believed him. But I kept fighting for that dream. But as time wore on the fight to make the world a better place just became a fight to stay alive.
Doc: Tala (dramatic pause) How old were you when you first lost your virginity?
Tala: (sigh) Six I think. Borris had a sick lust for pretty little boys. (shudders)
Doc: And how old were you when you were first forced into prostitution?
Tala: Six. At the time Borris was still having trouble funding his little program. And selling little boys to big buisness men for the night was a money earning enterprise. Especially if they were big names who would pay extra for silence.
Doc: That mustve been really hard for you?
Tala: It was. But Im not some victim either. And the abbey wasnt horrible all the time like you say either.
Doc: Hmmm. . . How so?
Tala: Yeah you think im crazy but. . . the abbey trained me to be the very best and reguardless of some stupid title. I AM the best blader in the world. I made a name for myself.
Doc: But was it worth it Tala? With all that you endured? Look at all the damage that place did to you and your friends. 20 years from now will being the best stil be worth it?
Tala: (Rolls eyes) To me yeah. silly I know but, aside from my skills as a blader. I also went throuh tons on Physical and emotional training to become stronger. To hone my skills so I could be captain.
doc: Were you tested at all to become captain of the Demolition boys?
Tala: (wolfish grin) We were all tested, before we could become official parts of the team.
Doc: Im sure its an interesting tale. Why dont you tell me about it Tala?
Tala: (smiles brightly) It is! Alright then. . . I was seven when Borris told me I was to be tested to see wich part of the team I would represent and I accepted his challenge. The next day I was brought to one of the most rural and dangerous parts of the Russian wilderness and left there with nothing more and a cantine and a rock for starting fires. That year was one the coldest winters on record. And I did alright for about a week. Until a blizzard hit with me smack dab in the middle of it. I wandered around in that storm for hours and hours. I was soaked and frozen, and couldnt really see. Eventually i passed out in the snow. I woke up an undetermined amount of time later in a cave with a pack of wolves. They saved me, fed me, washed me. They treated me like one of their own, eventually accepting me into their pack fully. and two weeks later when Borris showed up to get me, it was decided that I would be the Alpha Wolf and captain of the Demolition boys. That experience shaped me as the man and champion I am today.
Doc: Wow! And what about the others? How were they tested?
Tala: Well. . . It varied. Ian was already decided to be our "Snake" and "Brain" at a very young age. Birth really. Hill mother was very addicted to crack. So he was born a. . . Crack Baby? Hmmm, if thats the word. Oh well, anyway she abbandoned him in an old shack just inside the abbey's gate. Which wouldve been ok but, the fact that, that shack was infested with poisonous snakes. By the time Borris found him he'd been bitten 26 times. But surprisingly he was fine. The snakes venom seemed to counteract the drugs and make him stronger. It was a miracle really.
Doc: Well that explains the "no fear" attitude. (chuckle)
Tala: (laughs) Yeah your right about that! (sigh) Spencer was tested right after me. They flew him of the coast and dropped him into the freezing water below. He told me floated for two days, he was frozen and hypothermic and the only reason he was still afloat was because he was frozen to a big sheet of ice. Hell it was amazing he live that long when it happened. A juvinile killer whale appeared, biting a large chunk out of his arm. And was comeing back for the rest of him. He told me, that in there terrifying moment he vowed that he wasnt gonna be scared anymore. So when the whale came back again, He grabbed it by its upper and lower jaws and ripped the beast clean in half. He swam the two miles back to shore with no problem where Borris was waiting for him. It was then decided that he would be our "Whale" our "Strength". But the experience also made him wise. Made him cherrish the few things and people in this world that he did have. So despite being strong, he's also one of the most loving and caring people I know.
Doc: Well that Its something. Its nice to hear you talk about him in that way.
Tala: (blush) Thanks Doc.
Doc: Alright, What about Bryan? He's your second in command yet you deliberatley saved his test for last. So it was either very amazing or something else. Which was is Tala?
Tala: (haunted look) Oh it was something else alright. In his original test he was left atop a mountain and was charged with making it to the base alive. He was about half way when he jumped from a clif to save a baby falcon that had fallen from its nest. Borris was furious. Said he was stupid and weak. But it was decided that he would be our "Falcon", our "Wind". But in order to weild and controll the cutting winds of the Falborg bit, he would have to be retested. And when they told him was he was to do, he agreed without a moments hesitation. I'll never forget that night. They woke us up well after midnight and drug all the boys out into the yard with our Beyblades and Launchers. Bryan was already there, chained to a post at the far end of the yard. We were lined up, and each of us 200 or so children where to launch at him. And he took every blow like a true champion. I mean damn, he was only 5. And when it was my turn, i hesitated. I remember Borris yelling, "Do it you weakling". But I couldnt. That was until I looked into his eyes. They said, "Do it Red! Dont be weak! Do it and be done with it! And I did, and he became the mighty falcon. But he was also a really good person too. When you would fall down and screw up he was the first one to say, "Hey get up! Try it again, you can do it! I know you can." And you'd believe him. But he was also there. . . . . There when you were beaten and felt worthless. When you were still bleeding from being with some random, or from Borris's bed, he'd. . . . . He's be that shoulder to cry on. He'd listen to you ramble and tell you, " I know it hurts. And I can promise you that tomorrow will be better, because it most likeley wont. But Years from now. Someday, when none of this matters and all the pain you suffered is just a distant memorie or a scar. Youll be the best. And make the world a better place, with or without Borris".
Doc: He sounds like a really special person.
Tala: He is. Do you get it now doc? How can the abbey be all bad. I met my best friends and brothers there. And Together we ARE the best. Thats all weve ever had to hold onto besides eachother. Its our legacy to the world. So 20 years down the road, when all of this is nothing more than a distant memories. We'll still have eachother. And we'll still be the best of OUR generation. Isnt that what really matters?
Doc: I suppose so.
Tala: Alright then. Are we done?
Doc: No a few more question dear.
Tala: (groans dramatically)
Doc: (Chuckles)I want to talk about your relationship with Bryan.
Tala: Were best friends?
Doc: No. . . . Im talking about your intimate relationship
Tala: (blush) Oh that. (sheepish grin)
Doc: Yes that. Tell me how it started.
Tala: He was 12 and I was 13 at the time. Bryan got sold for private lessons "Alot".
Doc: You mean sold as a prostitute? Dont you Tala?
Tala: (Glares) Yeah. . . . One night some sicko went to far! (growls) Burns, cuts. The bastard practically ripped him open down there. Borris was furious, even though I know it was just because he couldnt train. But he still let me skip training to take care of him. I was able to patch up the physical wounds but (pause) emotionally, he was devistated. I left one day to get our food reginime and when i came back he was sitting on the edge of the bed with a blade to his wrist. I guess I surprised him because he jumped up and ordered me to leave. I didnt know what to do. I could tell be was really serious. And i wanted to help him. So, I did the first thing that came to mind. I kissed him. He froze. And then he did something that surprised me. He dropped the knife and kissed me back. I promised to be with him and care for him after that. And he gave me the same Promise in return.
Doc: Were you two ever sexually intimate.
Tala: (blush) No. We talked about it early on and he told me if I really wanted to that we could. But I could tell he was scared. Then came that night. It was about 3 months before worlds. And we were gonna do it. We were on my bed kissing, and I was on top of him when Borris walked in and caught us. Bastard beat me into a coma.
Doc: And Bryan? Did he recieve punishment?
Tala: No. I told Borris I initiated contact. That Bryan told me no, begged me to stop.
Doc: Why.
Tala: (sigh) (smiles sadly) Id've taken a thousand beating from that monster if it meant sparing Bryan just one. I love him. He told me that Borris was gonna let them see me while I was out. But it was a trick. So he could put those damn mind control chips in our heads. He turned us into monsters, just like him.
Doc: Tala, when we removed you from the abbey, Borris, had already fled. Tala - Where is Borris Balcov.
Tala: (wolfish grin) Now thats a secret worth telling. He's at the show you see.
Doc: What show?
Tala: Well besides world domination Borris always had this dream of playing the sugar plum fairy, in the Nutcracker on broadway.
Doc: (sigh) Alright Tala, "now" I think were finished for today. You can go now. (chuckle)
Tala: Oh! ok then Doctor. S. Seeya!
Notes: Patient seems to have made a massive deal of improvment. He talks openly about his problems. And is free with all of his emotions. He cares a great, great deal for his team. And makes most if not all of his decisions with them in mind, and seems would do anything to keep them safe and happy. He also care's about his title as best blader in the world a great deal. Though I believe it was just a goal for him to reach, in order to be able to survive in the hostile enviornment he was raised in. He's making eccelent progress, and improving more in opening up every day. He reacts accordingly to speaking about the horrors of his past, and takes pride in learning all he can from as many of them as possible. I look forward to continuing treating him. And hopfully signing his realease papers some time in the near future.
