Irn2 - Oh I couldn't do that to poor Tala or anyone else. -hugs them all- I'm still wondering if I should let Kai forget or many forget some of them... I haven't 100 decided on it yet to be honest. Probably I let him... Keep some. I'm sure you don't take that long to update, but anyway thanks for reviewing.

DancerInTheDark101 - The reason why I said I was going skip a few years was just to let you all know what would be happening, I still need to give them all bitbeasts and stuff. So I won't be changing the 'age' of them just yet! I don't know why, I just think Tala would be completely adorable when he was younger, even more so than Kai... Did I just type that! Ooo... Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 16
Kai could feel an aching pain that was coming and going all over his body. He didn't have to even open his eyes to know he was in a hospital of some sort. The smell of bleach and over-used fragrances assaulted the boy's senses. He tried to speak but noticed that he had a lump in his throat; he tried to cough but that only sent a shooting pain down to his lungs and make the back of his throat sting unpleasantly.

His eyes opened slowly, wondering if there were any bright lights overhead that he would be blinded by. He could have said he was happy not to see the blinding whiteness that was in most hospitals. The grey metal that met his eyes reminded him that he was in the Abbey. The one that he had almost destroyed.

He would end up being killed, or something - he had been told that he would never get Black Dranzer, and ended up stealing it. Oh, Voltaire would be mad...Boris would be mad too. The two-toned haired boy moved his head slowly; his head began to ache as did his neck. What had happened to him? He felt like something had hit him all over, maybe that was what had happened? Then again how on earth did he manage to get out?

The boy groaned as he tried to sit up - his head was so heavy, so much that he could only move it from side to side. How annoying... Kai noticed that he was indeed alive, which meant Boris and Voltaire weren't too angry - or maybe they just wanted to hurt him and make him die in pain. Rather than the way he would have went...

There was a noise that Kai had recognized; it was someone opening the compressed doors. He thought that it would be a good time to sit back and relax instead of getting pulled out of bed, just to get yelled at. Or punished. Kai couldn't handle another few days without food.

The Abbey had been badly damaged, and therefore everyone then had to sleep and also train in the underground section. Which most people were okay with, since the guards were allowed to go home. The children were cramped together with the threat of pain if they spoke. Of course this threat did not sink in to anyone from Tala's room. And indeed he was the first to break this rule.

"I wonder if Kai is okay...?" Tala was sitting with Spencer, and Bryan. He was in the middle swaying from side to side, occasionally colliding into Bryan or Spencer.

"He'll be okay. He is Voltaire's grandson after all." Even though many people did know that Kai was related to Voltaire some people thought that Kai would end up getting special treatment from Boris. It had actually just made him much more, strict on the younger boy. But no one would let their grandson die, right?

"He might be dead." Bryan wasn't feeling the same sympathy as Tala or the older boy. His answer caused the two turn and stare at him in a disbelieving manner.

"Why do you hate Kai so much?" Spencer watched as Bryan lowered his head to face the ground, and he began to pick his nails in a nervous habit. Before Bryan could open his mouth to answer, he stopped himself as the door opened again. This time a guard looked straight at the redhead in the middle.

"Move." He was staring straight at Tala, and only at him. The small boy looked at Spencer and then gave an angry look at Bryan, since he would have to leave before he heard why he hated Kai so much. Tala jumped off the bed and slowly walked over, wondering if Bryan would whisper the answer to him. But he didn't.

On the other hand, Bryan was happy that Tala had left and he was alone with Spencer. Tala would end up hating him if he actually fund out the reason. "Well? Why?" Spencer pressed the boy for more information, he had to find out why Bryan and Kai just wouldn't get along, maybe Bryan had struck a deal with Boris at one point?

"Kai...is going to hurt Tala." It wasn't as if he knew that one hundred percent but the thought of Kai always brought troubling scenarios to Bryan's mind. Was it the emotionless mask that made him feel so uncomfortable around him? Or was it just jealousy that was taking over him, not wanting Kai to get too close to Tala?

"How do you know that?" Spencer had known Kai a little longer than most – only because Kai had only decided to speak with him ever so often. Yet the contact had stopped after a few weeks, which was odd in Spencer's eyes. Something was going to happen, if not now, soon.

"I don't know..." Bryan mumbled, having lost the reason for hating the boy in the short time, then his mind fuelled him with some facts. "It's just weird, I mean...Kai just looks so bored whenever anyone talks to him... Then at the mention of beyblading - he just... Gets that weird glint in his eye, and gets all excited." Bryan pouted and looked even sadder, even though Kai wasn't an angel, Spencer couldn't believe that Kai was out to get anyone, or even annoy any of them for that matter.

"That doesn't mean he'll do anything bad to Tala." Spencer stood up, trying to walk away from the subject, but Bryan persisted on making the facts known. Even if Kai wasn't out to harm anyone Bryan had to be certain of his motives, the boy made him restless and that was not easily done by another kid.

"Why would he not do anything bad - if he had to hurt any of us, he would as long as it gave him Black Dranzer. He was so desperate he stole it." Spencer noticed that the small boy frowned deeply when he spoke of Black Dranzer. Then again. He had been offered it; Spencer had over heard the little deal, but of course said nothing since Bryan hadn't taken it up.

Of course the worrying thing now was, where on earth was Tala off to now? He was in fact away to see none other than Boris.

Boris was sitting at a desk, looking rather happy, even though the Abbey and all of his hard work was almost destroyed by a much too curious child. That was not why he was happy, Kai had managed to use Black Dranzer so it was incredibly powerful, which was an excellent discovery.

Tala was forced to stand even though there was a comfy looking chair nearby. Tala just watched as Boris's smile grew. Placing his kind mask on once again.

"Tala, do you want to see Kai?" Boris smiled when Tala grinned and nodded his head quickly. Tala was happy that Kai wouldn't be disappearing like his mummy and daddy had done. He hated them for that...

"Come with me then." Boris stood up and began walking towards one of the numerous doors. Tala immediately followed the older man. The thought of Bryan wandered into Tala's mind - he hadn't found out why Bryan hated him so much.

Tala wondered when he was going to see Kai, since none of the corridors that Tala had went through seemed cleaned, nor smelt it. Before long, Tala was in a lab. Of course the promise of seeing Kai was figured to be a large white lie.

"Where's Kai?" Tala frowned, he hated lairs more than anything in the world. Only because there had been one person in his class that had lied constantly, and Tala had never liked him. He was just too annoying.

"Not here as you can see." Boris snapped, and nodded to one of the scientists. Before Tala knew anything, he was shoved yet again into a large tube. With no way out. The memory of large needles came and Tala began to panic wondering when and where they would come out. But they didn't.

Kai grumbled when he felt someone come close to his bedside, he decided to check by opening only one eye a few millimeters so he could peer out and see what was going on. Kai noticed it was one of those old scientists and he was injecting something into one of those many tubes, and all Kai could remember was that old man smiling down at him before he went to sleep.

His small body was easily lifted and taken to the lab, the boy was not alone, and inside the other tube was Tala. Kai was still not conscious and was not aware of his surroundings, even the squeals and yells of Tala could not be heard yet.

Tala's eyes widened as he saw the familiar mop of blue hair with spikes going this way and that. Tala watched carefully as Kai was put into the opposite tube, and all Tala wanted to do was wake Kai up.

"Process them." Boris sat down and watched at leisure as the tube slowly began to fill up, Tala scrunched his nose up at the green icky liquid. He gazed over at Kai, who was still unconscious, the only difference was small tubes were attacking him. Making the boy wince as the went through his skin, Tala blinked and looked up - there was those horrible arms...

Before long, the two boys were only breathing, and not even awake. Masks placed over them, not letting them suffocate, as the scientist poked and prodded them for all there information.

"Wolborg will not be effective on either on of these... And Black Dranzer should not be controlled by a five year old. He will not be strong enough, even if he starts training now." One of the scientists read out, Boris frowned and glared at the two boys currently in the green gel.

How could he keep these, Wolborg was one of the weakest bitbeasts they had found and Tala wouldn't be able to even use him... Kai on the other hand would only be able to cause random destruction. This is not the news Boris wanted - he'd through these two children away...And start with the other two promising children he had.

Tala blinked, his eyes felt heavy, when he awoke he wasn't in his bed - what had happened? Everything was cold. He couldn't really remember. Then his mind asked him a question. Where's Kai? Tala went to move but his body didn't comply, he looked around - he was outside... In Russia that was a very bad thing to be, and especially with the thin overall he was wearing. With the snow he was laying in.

Tala groaned as a shooting pain came from his legs, "Kai?" He shouted out his weak voice not getting very far, he saw nothing but white snow. He hoped that he would see the blue haired boy run over or help him but nothing like that happened. He could see small snowflakes start to fall down - layering his back in a small coat in a matter of minutes.

He felt tried, and sore, he was cold - freezing. "Bryan?" Tala blinked lazily as he felt his eyes growing even heavier, where was he? "Spencer...?" He called to anyone he could. No one came; he looked around, why was he here?

'...Wolborg will not be effective on either on of these...' His head jolted back, wondering where that had come from.

Wolborg. Who was that? Who had said that... When had it been said. Tala sniffed, his eyes filled with tears, was he going to die? Was he going to end up like his parents? Dead...

"Is anyone here..." Tala whimpered, hoping someone would come. He didn't want to die, the small redhead tensed his whole body up, but only received small jolts of pain from where the cold snow lay. He gulped and decided he would sit up - no matter what, he would sit up.

Again and again, he tried to sit up, but nothing worked, the pain was unbearable and would leave the small child to cry and whimper. "Why is no one coming to save me..." Tala cried loudly, why hadn't his parents come back, or a nice lady or someone came and taken him in like he had heard in stories.

Stories... They sometimes aren't real...

The last amount of energy the boy whispered a name he did not know, but hoped they would help him die quickly, or at least not painfully. "Wolborg..." Tala's eyes slipped closed, and then he heard something start to crunch as it's weight compressed the snow. Crunch, crunch, someone was coming towards him... Something...
