Chapter 29


The two doors opened and the two boys froze, wondering if this was it – if this was as far as they could get to Tala. How could they just give up like this? When Bryan and Kai saw that the scientists were each holding something - one was holding a case and the other was holding a bundle of papers the two boys decided to try their luck.

"I'll go right, you go left!" Bryan shouted and zoomed passed the first scientist who at first seemed confused but then suddenly realised what it was that had made him almost lose his balance.

Kai ran, mimicking Bryan and ran through the other door, hoping that they would both end up at Tala so they could both help them. Without looking back he kept running looking at the shocked and confused scientists that came out of no where to unknowingly block his path.


Bryan continued to run, though the corridors began to get darker and darker, and so slowed down to a quick walk, wondering if he had chosen the right way or not. Still he now had to keep looking for Tala no matter if Kai got caught and he was sure that Kai would agree with him on that.

There was only one door at the end of this huge corridor, and Bryan suddenly grew very nervous, he approached the door, and slowly looked in as he opened the metal door. Why was it so dark in this room he wondered?

"Tala…you better be in here…" Bryan was never scared of the dark yet now he was in the Abbey, he knew that he was going to get into trouble if he was caught and he just hoped he wasn't caught as soon as he went through the door.

He looked around, there wasn't very much light coming – from wherever it was coming from, and Bryan noted that it was not coming from the ceiling but in front of him. He looked up and gulped with some anxiety and relief. "Tala!"

The huge human-like jar filled with what appeared as green liquid or gel, held the small unconscious boy inside it, pads and needles running to and from the machine to his body. Machines were bleeping, yet not in a rhythmic way it should have been if it were monitoring Tala's heart rate. Bryan quickly ran towards the jar, and started to hit the glass feebly.

"Tala…Wake up!" Bryan believed that if Tala was awake then they could somehow get him out, though he still had his eyes closed and looked in some sort of resting state. Out of nowhere a bunch of scientists came, and yelled at the smaller boy, not caring who he was or why he was here.

"Get him! You'll be punished for your disobedience!" The tallest one snapped as the rest started to advance towards the boy, Bryan backed up instinctively. Without much fight left in him, Bryan was caught by the scruff of his collar and pulled towards the door.

"Let go of me! Let go of Tala!" Bryan could feel hot tears start to roll down his cheeks, since he had failed – he had been so close and had completely failed to get Tala out. Still, he waved his arms and legs about wondering if they would hit the older man so he could at least try once more to get Tala out.

Another voice broke through the wailing of Bryan and the hisses of disgust by the scientists. "I suggest you all let go of him or else -." Bryan looked up to see the rest of Group 3, Spencer and Ian, who both looked pretty damn serious in what they were saying. Ian taunted back, finishing the elders' sentence. "- he'll be the least of your worries!"

The scientists paid no heed to the silly children, but then noticed they had bitbeasts – though what could two simple children do with bitbeasts, they weren't even old enough to launch their beyblades properly. The scientists all decided to get all of the children together then decided what to do with them, though the first stage of that plan back fired when the two boys let their beyblades run wild.

The two blades weaved in and out the scientists who paid little attention at first, though when the very centre began to shine brightly they all stopped moving and looked on as Seaborg and Wyborg were summoned. The huge Seaborg began to move in between the men's feet confusing and frightening them, Wyborg began to destroy any machine in site. Bryan who was being held by a random scientist was let go as all of the men in white coats ran for the exit – being scared half to death was not part of their job.

"Spencer, Ian! What are you doing here?" Bryan quickly wiped away the tears that had stopped a few seconds ago, Bryan scolded himself, he had Falborg why hadn't he used her? The two boys grabbed their beyblade's and mentally thanked their bitbeasts for helping them.

Spencer looked around and started to walk towards the tank where Tala was held. "Don't try to save Tala all by yourselves – where's Kai?" The sudden realization that Bryan had taken the right path to get to Tala, also meant that Kai had taken the wrong one. The remaining Group 3 decided to try to see if there were any locks that could be easily undone, but to no avail. "He went through the other door." Bryan frowned as he said it out loud, which meant Kai, would be caught – not unless he could run all the way back, which was highly unlikely.

"Well let's get Tala out first before we start worrying about Kai. I'm sure he'll be fine…" Spencer trailed off knowing fine well that Kai wouldn't come up unharmed, Ian seemed to pick up on the vibe that Spencer was sending out, and decided to be silent for once.

"Tala! Can you hear me?" Bryan banged on the glass again hoping that Tala would just open his eyes and at least look at wither of them. After a few attempts at trying to get Tala conscious the group decided to see if their bitbeasts could help once again.

Ian started to count down, hoping that they would all manage to hit the tank at the same time, and wondering how long they had until guards came to take them away. "3…2…1…Let it rip!"

Falborg, Seaborg, and Wyborg smashed into the glass, though only left a few holes in which the green liquid started to escape from. The boys frowned and ordered their bitbeasts to continue to hit the tank, and indeed it broke, sending the small redhead back to reality.

Spencer rushed to pull the needles and other obscure things from Tala's body, Ian picked up all of their beyblades and Bryan tried to wake the older boy up. "Tala! Wake up!" Seeing as they got no response in the tank they were only half hoping that Tala would wake up when he was released from the horrible goo.

There was a large bounding coming from the hallways, and that was when they all realised that they were still in the Abbey and that they were going to get caught and punished and Tala would go back inside that tank….

"Let's go." Spencer grabbed the smaller boy up, and managed to keep him standing, hoping that he would be able to walk just as fast as the others, then again he could always tell the others to run.

The three boys ran down the corridor, feet pounding on the metal floor, Spencer tried hard to keep up as he was still holding Tala up, Ian was sure that they would all be caught though it didn't stop him from running. An alarm sounded, Oh, no…

Alarms only ever sounded when the Abbey was sure someone was running, or there was some sort of fire… Bryan was sure that the Guards had just been told they were disobeying orders and they were planning to run away. The high and low pitches of the alarm reached every corner of the Abbey and in under a minute everyone knew someone was doing something very wrong.

The guards had caught up with them all, and each of them looked angry that they had to run after some kids that couldn't obey orders. Ian stopped in his tracks and turned around, preparing his beyblade to launch, "Run!" The smaller boy called back while letting his beyblade run wild, though it appeared that their were more people than last time, and all of them were not scared of a measly beyblade.

When Ian had stopped, Bryan wanted to turn around and beyblade with him, though when the order of 'run' came from the short beyblader that was all Bryan was planning to do.

Corridors had suddenly changed from metal to bricks, and that was a worrying thought; they were getting deeper and deeper into the Abbey – and into places they had never been or even imagined before. Spencer looked down at the redhead who was still out cold, and Spencer had the urge to drop him.

He knew he would never drop Tala but the weight and the want to just run away from the Abbey Guards were larger than he had thought possible. Still with the alarm going and the voice of Ian slowly getting louder – calling out desperate commands to his bitbeast.

Hiding would be impossible and it would not help them, they all had to get out now, but with that came the fact that they would have to leave Ian and Kai to disappear from the Abbey safely.

"…Where…am…I?" Tala mumbled as he opened his eyes, he could feel that he was moving yet, he was not. Spencer couldn't have been more grateful to see that Tala had already pushed him away, and had taken off a huge weight.

"We have to run; we saved you, now their mad!" Bryan grabbed the boys arm and started to run again, now Spencer was slightly ahead because he no longer had to keep Tala moving as well. Tala ran, and slowly began to think, about small things and then suddenly realised that they were two members short.

"Where's…Kai – Ian?" He watched as Bryan tensed slightly as he ran, Spencer had turned a corner. Bryan sighed loudly as he quickly changed direction and managed to slow down a little, hoping that the guards didn't see which way he turned.

"Kai went the round way and has been caught… Ian is beyblading to stop any guards from coming – for the moment." It took a while for Bryan's words to register, and that was when Tala became furious.

"You saved me and got rid of everyone else!" Tala shouted, he was grateful but when everyone else had been put in danger, and he would possibly be the only one to get out – it just wasn't right.

"Come on!" He grabbed Bryan's arm again, and shouted at Spencer who had turned and stopped to see what was happening. "We're going to save Ian and Kai! Then we all can get out of here!" Tala's words shocked Bryan and Spencer, Spencer could held but shake his head and chuckle, even though he could get thrown back into that tank he would still go back and try to save someone.

Tala led, now running down the corridor, he couldn't help but feel completely happy – unstoppable, he had friends that would come no matter what, what more could he ask for. He suddenly felt quite selfish because he hadn't told them what was happening, they could take care of themselves he was sure they were strong enough to endure what he had already.
