Fall in the Fires, Rise from the Ashes.

Chapter 9: Passion of Life.

"Sir, I believe the boys are ready for their purpose."

"Is that so? Very well then, bring them to the...rooms."

"What's going on?" Tala gulped.

"I don't know. They're taking kids into those weird and forbidden rooms. And when the kids come out, they're...changed." Bryan glanced around worriedly.

"Byan save Ian." Ian declared before clutching Bryan's hand in a death grip.

"Ow Ian! You've stopped the blood flow in my hand!"

" 'Hep' Ian."

"How am I supposed to help you?"

"Be quiet." Spencer hissed worriedly as a guard approached them.

"So...which one of you first?" The guard looked at the young boys maliciously.

"Bring them all." A voice suddenly appeared on the speaker.

"Huh? Oh...okay." The man reached over and soon Group 7 was dragged into the room.

The gray walls hid extensive complex machinery in them. The five boys looked around nervously.

"Well hello boys." Boris greeted them with a sweet...a dangerously sweet voice.

Before they could do or say anything, all of them were grabbed by the guards working there and shoved into five cylindrical pods. Without giving the boys a chance to prepare themselves, oxygen masks were placed on their faces and needles were stabbed into their bodies at multiple areas.

Their pained expressions soon melted as unconsciousness took over them.

The scientists operating on machines there did some tests and each boy's stats were displayed above there cells on the screens. Within a few minutes, the stats changed into images. Five images of fearsome creatures.

"Sir, something is not right." A scientist walked over to the purple haired man.

"What is it now?" Boris spat impatiently.

"The bit-beasts...they chose the boys themselves."

"Don't be ridiculous, that's impossible."

"It's true, Sir. They wont let us choose for them like we did with all the other boys."

Boris looked at the screens out of boredom and suddenly, his eyes widened, "No way...could it be...but how..."

Forgetting everything else, he walked over to the screen, "Hm...interesting."

Turning around, he ordered, "Do as it is. Let the creature choose."

"B-but sir..."

"Are you deaf? Do I need to repeat myself?"

"N-no sir. As you wish."

In a couple of minutes, the screens as well as the pods began to glow. It died down after a few seconds and in front of the pods in some special holders, appeared five metallic chips. Each having a picture on them.

"Completed sir." A scientist informed Boris who gestured to take the boys back into their room.

Tala groaned as he woke up. There was a faint throbbing in the back of his head. He looked around and as expected, his brothers were beside him in sprawled out positions...unconscious.

He reached out to the nearest and shook the shoulder of what appeared to be Kai. Crimson eyes fluttered open before Kai shut them again, tightly.

"You okay?" Tala looked at him concerned.

"Head hurts." Kai sighed before sitting up slowly.

A groan was heard and in a few moments... "OW! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! I FEEL LIKE A TRUCK RAN OVER ME!"

"What the heck, Bry! Keep it down." Spencer shook his head as he rose from the hard and not so merciful floor.

"Hey...yo! Um...wake up...Ian...yo..."

They all turned to see Tala's failed attempts in waking Ian up. The young boy was sleeping contently...as if nothing had happened.

Bryan rolled his eyes, "That kid sure knows how to deal with the situations!"

Tala cautiously poked Ian's arm and was thrown on his back by the force of the youngest abruptly waking up and jumping in a fighting stance.

"What the...jeez Ian!" Tala whined and glared at the boy as he accepted Kai's hand to get up again.

" 'Inja' Ian!" Ian glared back, only this time, his face looked so funny, as well as his pose that the others began to laugh.

"I'll remind you how to be a ninja, you little..." Tala shook his head, stopping with a sigh.

"Hey Kai, what're you thinking?" Bryan looked at the crimson eyes boy. Receiving no reply, he called again, "Kai? Hey Kai...Kai...Kai...BLOODY HELL KAI ALEXANADER HIWATARI!"

Kai was startled out of his reverie and looked around.

Tala patted his back, "What's wrong? You just...sort of zoned out on us."

"Nothing, just thinking." Kai blinked.

"About what?"

"What happened to us in that room...how did we all black out. And what had happened in those cells." Kai shivered involuntarily.

"Don't know but whatever happened, let's hope it doesn't affect us much." Tala shrugged.

"Sure." Kai mumbled.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Pencer Pencer! Let's go." Ian bounced up and down in the room.

"Stop it Ian, it's not like we're going to train for the first time." Spencer sighed.

"But they say it be 'pacial'!" Ian emphasized.

"How much special can it get Ian?" Bryan spoke up from where he was stretching his arms out of boredom.

"Byan, we go." Ian strode over and poked Bryan on what he thought would be his chest but unfortunately, his height forced his to poke the lilac haired boy's stomach instead.

"Don't tickle me!" Bryan frowned.

"Ian no tickle!" Ian retorted back.

"Yes you do!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Jes!"

"See! You agreed that you tickle!" Bryan pointed out.

"Ian not!" Ian scowled.

"Stop it both of you." Spencer intervened to stop the battle of rants.

"Poor Ian got so caught up in the tongue twisting conversation!" Tala grinned wolfishly.

"Time to go." Kai took a deep breath as their room's door was opened.

Today's training was special indeed. They all got their own new beyblades. Group seven was the most happiest one as they all launched the metal tops for the first time and felt a strange new energy flowing through them.

All their blades circled in the beydish, attacking others and emerging victorious.

"WOLBORG!"

"FALBORG!"

"WYBORG!"

"SEABORG!"

"DRANZER!"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

When they returned, they all had to agree that even though it was a hard and tiring day of training, they had fun.

Lying on their beds, each of them was holding their new beyblade, lost in thoughts.

When the boys did sleep, they had no idea that on the sides of their beds were four glowing chips, present in the center of their beyblades and what was sealed within the chips. They just knew that they were going to enjoy this stuff, but they never knew it was going to become a passion for their lives.

SHORT!
