Chapter 1: Proof of Perfection

"Hey Tala, are you sure you want to find Kai, he already betrayed us twice, why the hell would he help us take down Boris?" Bryan asked.

"Even so, Kai IS one of us, taking Boris down won't mean anything without him." Tala replied.

"He IS so DEAD!" The other three Demolition Boys, turned to their youngest member, surprised at his outburst.

"What's wrong Ian?" they chorused.

"That's just WRONG!" He continued his outburst. A perfectly unified gasp escaped the other three, when they looked down at what Ian was out-bursting about.

Beneath the bridge they were standing on, were two very familiar people, kissing. One had long dark purple hair and golden eyes, while the other had two toned blue-gray hair and crimson eyes. They were known to be close, but not THIS close. Much to their disbelief, Rei and Kai were under the bridge kissing...more like making out.

"...K-Kai..." Tala tore his ice blue eyes away from the scene, unable to bear it, and ran.

"Hiwatari, when I get my hands on you, you're dead!" Bryan yelled down at the two, before grabbing Ian, and running after Tala. Spencer sighed and caught Kai's gaze, giving him a disapproving look, before following his teammates.

"Why did you stop?" Rei asked sitting up. Kai had gotten off him, and was now sitting stone cold beside him, with his gaze on the bridge that somewhat concealed them.

"Sorry, I just remembered there's something I have to do." That said, Kai was gone, before Rei could even blink.

"Tala, wait up!" Bryan called after the younger. It didn't take much, two more commands like that, and Tala had stopped, and was caught just before he collapsed fully, to the ground.

"Tell me what we came here for..." He whispered, as he sobbed into Bryan's chest.

"We're here to take down Boris." Bryan said, rubbing the younger's back softly.

"Let's go then." Tala said breaking out of the comforting embrace.

"You okay?" Ian asked.

"Let it out Tala, Boris can wait." Spencer added.

"I'm fine. I should've known Kai would move on, he's only human after all." Tala replied, wiping away a few tears.

"Don't you want to talk to him?" Bryan and Spencer asked.

"Why the hell should he?" Ian supplied taking out Wyborg.

"This is what we came to Japan for, not for Kai to hurt Tala again!" He exclaimed.

"Ian's right, I thank Kai, for all the memories over the years, and wish him all the happiness in the world, but right now, there's something that must be done. Let's go." Tala said walking off towards BEGA headquarters.

"He's hiding the pain as usual." The others said knowingly, before following him.

"Hey the former World Champions, are challenging the BEGA bladers."

"Oh wow, come on we'll miss the action."

"Yeah, come on, come on."

Kai was certain now, of what the Demolition Boys were in Japan for, and took off running towards BEGA headquarters. When he got inside, Tala was fighting Garland, Bryan was fighting Brooklyn, Spencer was fighting Moses (Crusher), and Ian was fighting Mystel.

"Seaborg, Venomous Tidal Wave!" Seconds later Moses' blade was reduced to nothing, but melting pieces. Spencer sat back, and watched the others battle.

"I don't know what your grudge against Boris is, but I'm not about to lose to you. I am the king of light and darkness, now feel the power of the dark, Zeus, King of Darkness attack!" Brooklyn was surprised to see Bryan smiling, and then laughing insanely at him.

"You're the king of what? Come again, I'm afraid I couldn't hear you. I am the true King of Darkness. Falborg, Dagger Scattershot!" At Bryan's command, Falborg rained daggers upon Zeus from every direction. The sacred beast was left for dead, and Brooklyn's blade in pieces, bit chip split in half.

"That's two down, two to go Boris!" Bryan exclaimed glaring at the podium Boris stood behind.

"Poseidon, show this kid why you're the King of the Sea!" Mystel was barely avoiding Ian's ruthless attack.

"Wyborg, Sand Crucifixion!" Ian smirked, watching Mystel collapse to his knees, as he watched Poseidon's crucifixion.

"That's three!" He exclaimed recalling Wyborg.

"Well now, seeing as how my teammates have won their battles, what do you say we get serious." Tala said smirking at Garland.

"It'll be your funeral." Garland said smirking back, quickly overpowering Wolborg. At least, it seemed as such.

"Why aren't you, the least bit worried?" He asked, not letting up on his attack.

"If that's all the power you've got, then I don't know what Boris's expectations of his bladers have become. Appolon may be an S class bit beast, but you're not powerful enough to wield the power of such a bit beast." Tala replied, having Wolborg spin circles around Appolon, and turning his gaze to Boris.

"Is this your idea of a joke? You raised me to be the perfect warrior beyblader in that abbey. I refuse to believe this is the best you can offer the person who rebelled against you!" he snarled.

"Don't ignore me!" He added when he got no response.

"I'm not impressed." Boris retorted.

"This isn't about flashy moves!" Tala growled back.

"Wolborg, Diamond Slash!" Garland was forced back a bit, as Appolon took the brunt of Wolborg's icy slashes, which held the strength of diamonds, the hardest to cut stone in existence.

"Impressed yet?" Tala went back to having Wolborg spin circles around Appolon.

"Not at all." Boris replied.

At this point, everyone watching, was confused. Boris seemed to be testing Tala. Only Kai, and the rest of the Demolition Boys weren't confused.

"It doesn't matter how many beatings, how much torture, we suffered in the abbey, Tala and Boris will never change, as long as they live. Tala's sole purpose for beyblading, is to make Boris proud, and Boris treasures Tala, above any blader." Ian said smirking. Bryan and Spencer supplied a unified "Bingo", smirking at the scene before them.

"I bet he told you, that you had great potential, and that you could be the best blader ever. The reality of things is Garland, that the Demolition Boys are the greatest beybladers ever. By the time I was ten, I had led the Demolition Boys to becoming World Champions. We spent four years as such. We endured the most unimaginable training and torture for years, before you even thought to become a blader. We lost everything three years ago. I got bored of all the success and attention, and let the rookie of the decade win. That doesn't mean I'm any weaker. Perfection doesn't become imperfection, and I certainly will not. It would make all the things I've endured pointless. Watch me Boris, watch and tell me you're not impressed. Wolborg, Icy Blizzard!" Tala finished his speech, and the beydish and entire ground level of the stadium, froze.

"Appolon, Radiant Thunder!" Garland refused to lose, but his attack, wasn't even making a dent.

"You can't possibly hope to defeat me. Wolborg, Novae Rog!" Garland tried, but he couldn't escape the wrath of the ice wolf bit beast.

"I will not lose!" He exclaimed getting up, and channeling punches through Appolon, going straight for Tala.

"Clever...but there's no way, that I'd lose, to someone, named after, a Christmas ornament. Wolborg, Ice Bind!" Channeling his own strength, Tala had Wolborg squeeze the life out of Garland with his tongue.

"This ends right now!" He exclaimed.

"Wolborg, Snow Meteor attack!" And snow it did.

The power of the attack, was so strong, that the roof of the stadium caved in, as the onslaught of snow meteors never let up. Tala stood with a hand on his right hip, and the other shooting bullets into the air with his launcher, which like all the Demolition Boys launchers, doubled as a gun.

"Victory, belongs to, the most worthy, and you Garland, are most unworthy." He said recalling Wolborg, and tossing his launcher into the air. Catching it like it was nothing, he gave Garland one last look and smirk. "Appolon is gone." He said sadistically.

"What?" Garland rushed towards his destroyed beyblade, and noticed his bit chip was also in pieces, and that he couldn't feel the presence of Appolon.

"You bastard, you came here to bring down Boris, but I say you're the real monsters, you and your team!" He exclaimed rushing towards Tala, who caught the fist that was aimed for his face.

"Be glad I haven't done worse. You could be seriously injured right now, for attacking me during our match. It's against the rules to attack the blader. I let it slide, but we're not blading anymore, and I have no problem, taking you down a few pegs." Tala said kneeing him in the gut, and walked over to his teammates.

"Monster...monster!" Garland yelled at him.

"It appears, you finally understand." Boris said approaching them.

"It's good to have you back." He added.

"Not like we can really run from destiny." Tala said shaking hands with Boris.

"I thought you were here to take him down!" Garland snarled.

"You've really dropped your standards." Tala noted.

"Oh come on, give me some credit, I had years to turn you into perfection, I've only had months to change Garland." Boris allowed himself to mingle like a normal human being for once, after all the Demolition Boys, had definitely earned it.

"Dully noted father." Tala agreed, and laughed a bit when Boris hugged him.

"A disaster will happen tomorrow." He said sarcastically.

"I can be nice, at least to my family." Boris said, waving the rest of the Demolition Boys over. Everyone was staring wide eyed at the scene.

"Too much for one day." Tala said as he pulled out of his father's embrace.

No, Boris wasn't his biological father, but even though he was almost always harsh on them, Boris was the closest thing to a father figure, that the Demolition Boys had. It's true they couldn't let him take over the world, but they couldn't exactly not help him.

"You're worried about what I'm planning I take it." Boris said.

"More worried about whether I can really stop you or not." Tala admitted.

"I'm quite sure you can." Boris assured.

"Everyone loves money, if I control beyblading in a business way, I'll be the richest man in the world, and you boys can have your fun. The best part is it's kind of like controlling the world, so everyone's happy. Would you be willing to help me with that at-least?" he asked.

"I suppose so. As long as the game stays pure. No cheating please. Or I'll go psycho on your plans." Tala replied with a smile.

"Tala's smiling!" A fan-girl promptly fainted.

"Definitely too much for one day." He and Boris chorused.

"Well well, it appears the wolf, got a bit out of control." Kai said as he approached them.

"What do you want Hiwatari?" Tala asked. That stung, Tala had never called Kai that.

"Tala, can we talk, please, I can't just let you walk away." He said after recovering.

"Tomorrow at noon, you and me, in the beydish." Tala declared before walking away.

/Tomorrow hmm, it'll be a matter of the heart./ Kai thought, as he too, left the building.

A/N: I've not been writing lately, but I dreamt this up last night, and had to type it up and post it. I don't really care, if I get reviews or not, but they are, and will always be appreciated. Hopefully nobody is painfully out of character here. I'm a big Demolition Boys fan. I know its weird, but I always thought of the relationship between Boris and the Demolition Boys as a love/hate one.
