Author's Note : Another update! Though I doubt I'll update again so fast O.o anyway thanks to;

DancerInTheDark101 - Another long review, yah! I was almost crying actually just trying to think of a way to get Dranzer into the story, and then I just decided to type whatever... Then I deleted it and came up with this idea. Glad you liked it so much! -bows to lovely comments- Thank you! I think imagery is the only thing my evil English teacher said I was good at. Well here's another quick update, thanks for reviewing!

Irn2 - Yeah he's the mean evil boy that shall appear once or twice, just to keep Group 3 on their toes. lol, Group 3 is probably the only one filled with friends... Thanks for reviewing!

white light horizon - I wasn't really sure if I should have added any graphic things of Daniil harming the bird, I probably couldn't have wrote that. Plus I don't think maybe people could have read that, well thanks for reviewing!

kavbj - I was going to write that Varlam (the older kid) would have came and beat Daniil up but... Then I thought that this would be like the icing on the cake so I decided to make it Group 3 found him. Thanks for reviewing!

The Goddess Azure Thunder - lol! Well, I have to thank you, because I actually now have thought of another few funny strange lines to give Ian... And yes, it will be about sporks! -cackles- Emm...Thanks for reviewing heh-heh.

Cailany - Another 24 hour update woo. I guess I'm making up for the long time I didn't even bother adding to this story, well that's for reviewing!

or-chan - Almost, well that's okay then... They are kind of like a family... Very strange one but a family no less. Ian is meant to be funny he's the clown/random person in the group. There's always a random person in any group... I think. Thanks for the review.

GabZ – Aww that's a shame… The worst thing what had happened to my hamster when I had it was that it ran down the stairs and ended up breaking a paw… O.o Sorry that I made you cry that is if you did…

Lot's of reviews last chapter! Thanks… Now I'm off to school! (Half day…Thank you head teacher!)

Chapter 22

Bryan sighed as he walked back to his team, training had been a complete waste of time, a machine broke and Bryan had to wait until it was fixed, of course it wasn't fixed until five minutes until the end. At least he wasn't knackered like he would usually be, at least this way he would be able to put up with Ian a little better than usual.

The mess hall where all meals and speeches were made was a long and boring room. Eight chairs around each table and an endless number of tables in the huge room, the easiest way to find Group 3's table was to simply look for the flaming red hair that belonged to Tala or the two toned blue that belonged to Kai.

Though something had been bothering Bryan, he hadn't wanted to bring it up but he was beginning to get suspicious of Ian. Or was this just paranoia again, Bryan was sure that the small kid would eventually get made a deal by Boris or even Voltaire. He was certain since he too had been offered a deal by them… The only difference was, would Ian consider the deal or not?

He sat down and was greeted by everyone in their own way, Tala would grin, Spencer would just look in his direction, Kai would – well he would open his eyes from whatever thoughts were clouding his vision an Ian…. Ian was just Ian – a random response would be given.

"Bryan, Ian got a bitbeast today," Spencer tried not to laugh at the memory of Ian ranting and raving about the bitbeast he was given. Wyborg, the large snake with the two large fangs that would be able to pierce any sort of armour.

"Really what is it?" Bryan looked at the smallest blader while he was expecting a name, that was not what he received.

"A worm." Ian sounded disappointed, and Bryan frowned a little confused, and looked at everyone else would was wearing a smile, including the usual anti-social Kai. Ian placed his beyblade onto the table next to his plate.

"You mean Wyborg…?" Bryan picked the beyblade up and looked at it, he had seen this one before, and he was still lost on how Ian could think it was a worm.

"That's it's name…Not what it is." Ian started to plough into his food as he was given a blank face by Bryan while the others sniggered. Tala sighed and shook his head, he knew he was random, a little, when he was little, but this was unbelievable.

"We've been trying to tell him it's a snake though he ended up naming all of our own bitbeasts different animals…" Although it was mostly Ian's fault he had managed to get into an argument with Kai. Then somehow ended up naming different animals to every bitbeast.

"What was yours?" He turned to look at the irritated Kai, who had spent about half of his lunch time just arguing, trying to tell Ian that his bitbeast was a phoenix. Though once Kai had agreed that it was a type of bird then there was no stopping Ian.

"Mine is a phoenix." Kai said through gritted teeth and watched as Ian stopped forcing more and more food into his mouth. Ian sighed as if he was looking at a very dumb eight year old.

Ian somehow managed to keep a very blank and serious face on, which only meant that he was being serious. "No Kai...Dranzer is a chicken." Kai frowned and folded his arms, he didn't like the fact that the magnificent phoenix of fire, the great mystical beast was being compared to…A chicken.

"So if Kai's is a chicken then what's Falborg?" Bryan thought that maybe he and his bitbeast would be safe since it appeared Kai and Dranzer were stuck with the worst… It appeared.

"Falborg?" Ian frowned in thought and Bryan rolled his eyes waiting to hear an answer, he place Wyborg back down next to Ian's plate. "Falborg is a demented turkey." Spencer chocked on his water.

"What! Take that back! Falborg is a falcon you idiot!" Bryan yelled, having a few random eaters too look at him, only to shoot back round when he noticed and sent them a death glare that he would soon make perfect.

"I'm afraid not Bryan." The group noticed how visibly angry Bryan was getting having his dear Falborg named a demented turkey. Just when I thought Kai had the worst.

"So what's everyone else's bitbeast, really?" Bryan didn't think that Ian would have made up any other stupid, pathetic names for anyone else's bitbeast. He was just picking on Kai and Bryan…

"Spencer's Seaborg is a herring." Spencer shook his head, had Ian any idea on how small a herring was? Tala wasn't too bothered only because he at least had something that looked like a wolf. Bryan had a few chuckles at that.

"Wolborg is…" Bryan blinked, had he forgotten? Ian then went back to his food munching on the hard bread they were given. Bryan sighed and began to eat his own food, though at a much more leisurely rate than Ian.

"Wolborg is a fox by the way…" Tala rolled his eyes, it wasn't bad, although he was sure Wolborg would eat Ian for that comment.

Before long it was already time to go to bed, and wake up and have another crazy, boring day at the Abbey. Though when they got back to there room Kai was usually the one to go to sleep as soon as they went through the door. This time however it was Ian and he was given a curious and confused look by most of his peers.

Ian opened a red eye and looked around, it was dark and he was sure everyone was sleeping still. He heard someone groan in their sleep – another nightmare? Ian would have chuckled if it had been funny but he too had nightmares of the last time he saw his family.

Ian slowly got out of bed, making sure the springs didn't make too much noise, he was happy that he was in this room with Tala and Kai. It meant his job was a lot easier. He crept over Tala's bed, he knew where Wolborg would be, underneath his pillow. For an odd reason they all had picked up the same habits and everyone now placed their bitbeast and beyblade under their pillow.

Tala was completely out cold though since it was completely dark inside the little room Ian had to be care he was going to get the beyblade without anyone noticing, he looked around hoping that he would be able to see an outline, if anyone had stood up. Ian sighed quietly and began to search for Tala's beyblade. "What are you doing Ian?" Ian jumped and turned around, he knew that it was Bryan, he was the lightest sleeper here.

After a few seconds of silence, Bryan had switched the light on, something that he had been happy about when he had finally been about to reach the switch. "I'm…Sorry." Ian bowed his head and stood silently as Bryan woke everyone up to have a chat about what he had just found Ian doing.

"So why?" Bryan sat down on his bed, not really wanting to rip the guts out of the kid. If it had been anyone else then maybe, but Ian probably was doing this because of Boris or Voltaire. Which meant he had been offered something.

"Boris told me that if I got Wolborg and everyone else's bitbeast he would…Let me leave." Bryan sighed and lay down on his bed, not really up to speaking, that was until Tala said something interesting.

"It's okay Ian. We've all had deals given to us, it is just up to you if you believe him or not." Tala yawned and was going to go put the light off before Spencer asked another question.

"What did he ask you to do Tala?" The redhead smiled and let out a yawn, he would never do something as cruel as that to – anyone.

"Boris wanted me to ignore you all. In return I would get Wolborg back." At one time in the Abbey Tala had lost Wolborg, and it had been most devastating and Tala could remember crying over it. Which was a rare thing for any of them to see, though when Boris had said he had it…. Tala no longer was worried. That same night Wolborg came back on it's own.

"I got asked to bully you and then I would get to go back to my Grandmother. Though she's dead so I knew it was a trick." The word 'dead' struck a cord within each and every one of them, they had all had someone close to them ripped away by BioVolt. Some worse than others.

"What about you?" Ian looked at Kai who was currently sitting up in his bed, not having moved since the light had came on. He was staring at the foot of his bed, not really thinking about anything until Ian had asked that question.

Kai raised his head and looked at Bryan would was simply lying on his bed, Ian who was standing with a guilty and hopeful look on his face, Spencer who had one eyebrow raised in his direction and Tala who had tilted his head to the side.

"I…" Kai was confused, if he told them all about his own deal that he had made would that make them more wary more suspicious of him? Would they no longer trust him? Kai shook his head, and looked at them all again. "I was never given one. I was just yelled at for not being good enough." He was given a disappointed look by Tala and he was sure he caught an tail end of a glare Bryan had been giving him. Spencer just turned on his other side and turned his back to Kai. Ian just frowned and went back to bed.

Bryan quickly stood up and turned the light back off, they would talk about this in greater detail another time, right now they all just needed some sleep. Though the lavender haired boy had never had any trouble going to sleep, though that night he could hardly get settled. Why was Kai's words affecting him so much?

He wasn't lying was he?

Kai was having trouble sleeping too, though he did not move – he knew that Bryan was still awake and could hear him moving around on his bed with the springs making a horrible noise. A feeling of dread raised up inside Kai's chest, he hated this feeling. He had lied again, and he even though he hadn't wanted too, he didn't want to risk that the trust he was given now, to just vanish.

Tala was awake, he couldn't get to sleep since he knew that Kai had been told to do something though he had already said sorry for it, whatever it was. Did that mean Kai was going to do it or…Was he going to back out now that they had become friends? Tala sighed and buried himself inside the smelly covers.

Out of them all only Ian and Spencer had any form of rest. The others stayed up most of the night worrying about Kai, even Kai himself was worried – wondering if his Grandfather would praise him or not if he were to break these other kids. Kai turned slowly to the other side of his bed, making sure his sobs wouldn't be heard by anyone else in the room.

Unfortunately they were heard by Tala and Bryan, which only made them even more nervous to be around the boy. Tala was beginning to doubt that Kai was here for a good reason, but he would scold himself he would give Kai the benefit of the doubt and until he betrayed them then he would stay friends with him…. He just hoped Kai would never betray them.

Author's Note: Well I will probably be shatter throughout this week since it's my first week back as a 5th year. Taking 5 Highers… Not a good idea O.o So I don't know when I'll be able to update. Hence why I've been updating like day over the past few days. Later, and please review!
