Chapter 4: Fried Falcon 1
Tom feel out of the shoot with a grunt, he landed hard on his side popping his shoulder out of place. He was also dizzy from all the tumbling he had done coming down. When his head finally cleared he checked himself over. His shoulder was dislocated, his right ankle was broken and he had numerous other scraps and cuts all over. It was now he realized that his body felt on fire as the pain from his broken leg travel up his body and he let out a pained scream.
"Look out" a voice had yelled from above, but with all the damage Tom had already taken his reflexes were slowed and Bryan landed on top of him. The force of the added weight slammed Tom's head forward smashing it to the ground making a nice cut above his left eye and leaving him unconscious.
"Shit, Kitty won't be happy" Bryan got off the other teen and inspected himself for damage. He was better off then the other kid, since he only had minor cuts and scraps and his bolts were stuck in a little more then before. He carefully rolled Tom so his face was up, and it was then Bryan noticed the nice cut above the eye. "Not good." he ripped some of his shirt that was still clean, or cleaner then the rest, and held it to Tom's wound to stop the blood.
"You always did like to help the injured animals" Bryan turned his head and saw that Boris was standing over them. "Oh, I'm sorry, that's no animal, it's Tom from the Bladebreakers, a.k.a. Beywriter. How could I mistake the one who cloned me for an animal?"1
"What the hell do you want?" he asked getting up and creaking his knuckles trying the threaten the old man. "Or should I just kill you know?"
"Bryan, Bryan, Bryan" Boris began to slowly circle them. "Haven't I taught you better manners then that? Where is my 'hello'?"
"You don't deserve the pleasantries after you've killed two of our friends" Bryan hissed and moved to protect the unconscious teen. "And I seriously suggest you leave us alone before I kill you. But I have to be honest and say the killing you idea is making me very happy."
"So you're emotions have finally returned, I'd glad to hear that Bryan. I was so scared you be damaged for life after all that experimenting you went through."
"Shut up with the bull shit, Boris. You never cared about us then and you sure don't now" Bryan growled.
"But Bryan" Boris had a mock pout, "you we're like my own son, I raised you since you were born when you mother, my sister died leaving you right after birth."
"You lie" the Falcon whispered, but he was still frozen with surprise. Never in his whole life had he known about his parents. All he knew was this place until Tyson won the tournament years ago and freed them all.
Boris noticed this server lack in defense he created and took advantage of it. He circled around again so he now faced Bryan's back and pulled a needle from his pocket and quickly stuck in the lilac teen's neck and watched as he fell on top of the brown hair teen. And he grinned when the sound of more breaking bones reaches his ears.

"Kai" Tala almost cried as he ran to his lover and hugged him tightly. "I was scared you were hurt when you didn't answer your phone."
"Sorry Wolf" Kai returned the hug not caring that everyone was watching them, "I forget it back at the hotel. But Tala, there's something more important you need to know."
The Wolf looked up with worried eyes and immediately went to count the people with Kai. "Bryan and the new kid, where are they?"
Rei looked down at the ground thinking of what happened and the snapping noise they heard as Tom fell. "They fell" he finally spoke breaking the silence. "Tom pushed me out of the way and fell into to the hole. Bryan went after him."
"So Bry and Tom, Boris has them both?"
"We think so Tal, but we still might be able to save them, Boris hasn't played their death screams yet. So shall we begin a search party for Boris's hideout."
"Yeah, I don't want any more friends kill cause I wanted to have some 'fun' here."
"I want to help too" Rei said looking at Kai. His eyes were in cat mode and he wouldn't accept 'no'. "That jerk has Tom and I refuse to let him get away with that."
"Fine, but if we tell you to run, you do that Rei. We wont risk you more then we have to."
Rei agreed to Kai's condition.
"So who else wants to join us?" the groups looked around at each other all too scared to volunteer. Boris had already scared them so much with the first two death, they didn't want to be next.
"I will" Spencer was the only one to come forward not afraid by this all, after all hearing people's last's screams was a ritual in this place.
"No Spence, we need you to take everyone else out of here" Kai told his friend. "Go out the way the Mejestics came in cause there is no floor traps down that way.
"NO" Johnny snapped glaring at Kai. "I refuse to go that way again" he turned his gaze to Lirin, who was still passed out in his arms. "Lir can't handle it again."
"She'll have to deal McGregor, it's the safest route out" Kai nearly yelled.
"Kai's right" Spencer told them. "Why don't you wrap our headband over her eyes so she wont see them?"
"Fine, but I'd still rather go a different way" Johnny took a seat so he could still hold his girl and work the headband. "We're set now."
"Good luck guys" Tala called to them as Spencer open the door to lead them out. "And Spence call my cell when your out so we won't have to worry."
"Alright Tal" the tall blond waved as he left followed by the three teams.
"Alright let's go get our friends back."

Tom was the first one to wake up after Boris had moved them. He was hot and whimpered in pain as he tried to move. He looked down as saw that his foot was stuck in an odd position giving more proof that it really was broken. Figuring he was stuck he leaned against the wall and took in his surrounding. The stone floor he was on was replaced with dirt and he was surrounded by a tiny forest.
"Where am I?"
"Ah good morning" Boris's voice flowed smoothly out of a speaker near him. "How are you feeling?"
Tom didn't reply but searched around waiting for the man to appear soon.
"I'm not in there" Boris answered Tom's unasked question. "But I do have some of my precious pets. I hope you don't mind a few spiders."
Boris laughed as the brunette paled and began to search for the small...well hopefully small creatures he feared.
"Oh yes, I also want to give you a front row seat on Bryan's death. I believe it is very fitting for the consume he is in."
Tom looked to his left where a light appeared and saw Boris standing over Bryan who was strapped down to a metal lab table. On a tray next to them lay an electric drill looking so innocent and a glass of water. And above Byran's head was a machine with two cables sticking out.
"You can't" Tom gasped as he tried to stand, but his foot protested and he fell to the ground hissing.
Slowly Bryan opened his light purple eyes when he heard Boris talking. He released a low growl from his throat and tried to swing a punch up to the person above him, but he soon learned he was trapped.
"Jerk" he hissed and thrashed against his restraints trying to get free.
"Bryan don't you know that struggling is useless here, even that boy has learned not to fight me." he inclined his in Tom's direction so Bryan would see him sitting on the dirt floor behind the glass wall. "Now that you've had some fun, it's time to put you out of your misery." He produced a small remote hitting the solo button so that everyone could hear him beg and scream.
"Don't" Bryan pleased as he watched Boris pick up the drill and move next to his head. Bryan shut his eyes as he heard the machine spin preparing for the pain. The old man was smiling as he used the drill to screw in the bolt the Falcon had glued to his neck. As the bolt went further blood spewed from the wound and tricked down Bryan's neck.
"Stop it" Tom yelled, but was ignored as Boris switched sides and screwed in the other bolt.
"Bryan look at this mess you made" Boris tisked shaking a finger at the boy strapped down. "I should clean you off." He reached over and grabbed the water glass pouring it water on Bryan's neck washing some blood away.
Bryan was shaking with fear at what Boris was going to do next. He had heard stories of kids going missing and weeks later their bodies were found and in a couple place they had been burned from a high voltage charge.
XxXxXx
Rei froze as Tom's voice filled his ears thanks to the speakers. The voice sounded full of pain and fear.
"Tom..."
"Rei if you want you can go back, we'll get Tom if we can" Kai offered knowing the pain his good friend was in, after all it wasn't so long ago that he dealt with this with Tala. The screams were always the worse and Boris knew that.
"No, I want to help" Rei whispered and wiped his tears. If he went back to sit with the other then he would go insane. This way he was actually doing something to keep his mind working and not focus on the what if situations.
"Alright then" Tala smiled and poked his head down the next hallway. "If Boris is where I think he is then we have to get to his old office first. Any other way could send us into more danger then I want to deal with.
Both Kai and Rei nodded and followed Tala through the labyrinth like halls to a nice looking holly door.
"He always was one to spend money on nice things he never deserved" Kai smirked as he eyed the door.
"Whatever" Rei hissed, "let's get get moving before..." Bryan's scream had cut him off and they all shivered with fear. Boris had claimed another one, so that meant he only had one left, and that one was making Rei's blood boil with anger and impatience was he wanted to get there faster.
1. the cloning is a reference to Beywriter's "Beyblade X Revolution"
