Enjoy guys!

Shikari and his master's laugh echoed through the dungeon. Tyson fell to his knees, tears falling down his tanned cheeks. What was he going to do? Choose between Kai or Dragoon. Shit. 'No, this can't be happening. If I choose Kai, they'll take Dragoon and I'll never see him again. But if I choose Dragoon, they'll hurt and torture Kai and I'll never see him again.' He shuddered and took in a shaky breath. 'What am I going to do?'

'Master.' Tyson looked up suddenly. Dragoon was looking back at Tyson, his eyes full of confusion. 'Please, save yourself and Kai. Dranzer and I can take them easilly.'

Tyson shook his head. 'No way! I will never give you up, Dragoon. There has to be a way I can save you and Kai together.' Tyson then looked up at the man that boomed over him. "Why?"

He looked down at the pathetic boy before him. "Pardon?"

"Why?!" Tyson yelled. "Why are you doing this? What will you gain if I take Kai or Dragoon?"

Tyson's head then snapped to the side as a hand made hard contact with his cheek. "Foolish boy! Even if you take your prescious Dragoon, or handsome Kai, you will still be torn." He then looked down at Shikari. "Start the procedure."

Shikari bowed and removed his arm from Kai's neck, Kai falling to the floor below. His chin fell against his chest and his hair fell over his face. Shikari reached into his cloak and pulled out another whip, cracking it against the floor, the dungeon echoing with the crack of the whip. He turned to Kai and pulled his arm back. Tyson gasped. "What are you doing?!" Shikari brought the whip down, hearing and feeling it come in contact with Kai's right shoulder. Kai's eyes snapped open, he screamed from the searing pain of the welt of the whip. Tyson then looked back up at the man. "No, please! Call him off."

"I'm afraid that is not possible. You see, whilst you are in the midst of deciding, Shikari shall whip more and more. Until you are able to make your mind up, Shikari shall continue." He looked back at Shikari and gave a stern nod, signalling to continue on with the brutal whipping.

Shikari grinned, his fangs bared. He brought the whip down once more, hearing it crack against Kai's abdomen. He then moved in closer to Kai and gave him a swift kick to the affected area of the welt Kai was given from the whip. He gasped and fell to the ground on his side, grasping his abdomen and curling up. He groaned and opened his crimson eyes slowly, looking up at Tyson's blurry figure. "T... Tyson, get Dragoon out of here."

Kai then screamed again as the whip came down three times on his back, penetrating through his jacket and shirt. Blood seeped through the fresh wounds, then feeling another sharp kick to his side. Kai coughed and clamped his eyes shut, his body shaking and burning. Tyson got to his feet and went to run down to smack that jerk, Shikari, in the face. A rough hand took the back of his jacket and jolted him against the wall. Tyson moaned as he hit the wall. "And where do you think you're going? I'm not finished with you!"

Dragoon roared and pulled against the chains more and more, Dranzer trying to burn them with his fire. No avail. They bit at the chains, they pulled at the chains, heck, they even tried Drnazer's beyblade to slash through the chains. There had to be something they could do. Dranzer looked around, his eyes burning with hope that they could free Dragoon and free their masters. He then spotted the on switch for the large zapping ray gun. He tilted his head to the side and looked back at Dragoon.

Dragoon narrowed his eyes. 'What be the matter, Dranzer?' Dragoon knew Dranzer had a plan, but what was the magnificent phoenix thinking of doing?

'If I can move this thing, I can then turn it on with my beyblade, therefore, it shall release you from your entrapment, and we can save our masters.' Dranzer screeched and looked into Dragoon's eyes. 'A plan?'

Dragoon nodded and roared. 'Definately a plan, Dranzer. You are a quick thinker indeed.' They both then looked down as Tyson was held by his ponytail and forced to watch the brutal beating of his friend. He watched him being kicked, whiped, slapped and spat on.

Tyson closed his eyes and forced the tears to stay where they were. If he started to cry, this would bring on weakness and Kai would be hurt even more. He just wanted it to stop. Kai didn't deserve this. All Kai had done was come to Tyson's aid, nothing more. Did this really deserve punishment? Tyson growled. 'Something has to be done.' Tyson winced when he heard Kai's scream from the crack of the whip. 'Kai, just hold on, please... I'll think of something to get you and Dragoon free from here.'

"I suggest you make up your mind, Tyson. Else your Kai won't be alive to tell the tale." His vice grip tightened on Tyson's ponytail, and he could feel strands of his midnight blue hair being ripped from their roots. Tears came to his eyes and Tyson forced them back.

Shikari stopped his beatings for a minute to switch hands on the whip. Kai opened his eyes slowly and looked up at Shikari, his eyes staring daggers at the, obviously, brainwashed young man. Shikari smirked at Kai's glare. "Glare all you want, Hiwatari, I'm not done with the likes of you. You'll pay for what you've done to my beyblade, and my master." Kai shook his head weakly and tried to get up, his arms shuddering from his weight. He collapsed underneath his weight and sighed. "Prepare to be in a world full of hurt, you peice of Russian garbage." Shikari reached down and took the remians of Kai's jacket and purple shirt, ripping them both from Kai's beaten and bruised torso. He then threw the clothing away and pulled his arm back once again, thrusting the whip down onto Kai's raw back. Kai screamed again and shook his head, his body convulting at each strike of the whip.

Dranzer headbutted the zapping ray gun, his beyblade then grinding against the ground and jumping up to push the button to switch it on. Dragoon stared as Dranzer headbutted against the large peice of machinery again. 'I am hoping this will work. Otherwise, I am going to be one over roasted dragon.' Dranzer then began to take control of the zapping ray gun, headbutting it more and more, nodding as it sliced through the chains that held Dragoon captive. Once the last set of chains were sliced through, Dragoon dropped to the ground and roared, the wind picking up around him.

Tyson looked at his Dragoon and Kai's Dranzer as they stood together and roared at the man that held Tyson. The man backed away, fear in his eyes. How was he going to escape this one? There had to be a way. He then darted his eyes around, resorting to his unfinished project. 'This had better work!' He backed up and pushed a button, hearing it slap against his hand. A large door opened, revealing a set of dangerous blood red eyes. Another griffon had stepped out from behind the door. It had blood red feathers, a horses rear, and a sharp, pointed beak that curved slightly. It was as tall as Dragoon on all fours. A large, black and purple crown resided upon its head. It screeched loudly and advanced towards Dragoon and Dranzer. Once it stepped into the artificial light, its blood red feathers gleamed and looked murderous.

Shikari stopped the beatings on Kai and looked up at the dangerous griffon that stood before Dragoon and Dranzer. He gulped hard. 'I was hoping that master wouldn't result to this. The last alternative.'

Shikari's master laughed as he stared up at his magnificent griffon. "End of the line!" The griffon screeched so loudly, Tyson covered his ears. Kai could not move his body, feeling like it weighed a tonne. He screamed, his eyes wide and blood seeping from his new wounds. Shikari winced at the deafening screech of the blood red griffon. "Take them out, Tarvos Trigaranus!"

How are our heroes going to defeat this god-like griffon? Oh and btw, the name Tarvos Trigaranus is the name of an animal god, not sure what animal it was, but yeah!
