Chapter one: Don't worry if I don't pick up I'm alive…somewhere…

My mom and dad left with out a heartfelt I love you. I knew they wouldn't care enough to say it. Once I knew there car was gone I ran to my room and that was separate from the house and pulled a box out from inside my clothes trunk I used at summer camp. Flicking open the two locks I then scrolled in the code for the padlock and pulled it off. "Sorry to keep you waiting…Lord Jashin" I apologized to the box in my hands. The black box had a white symbol, an upside down triangle inside a circle. I placed the box on top of my trunk lid and unfolded the stand up mirror from the box placing it in the middle of the trunk top facing me. Behind the trunk I pulled out m trusted tool in my nightly activities. Taking my shirt off and putting on a red ad black bikini top, I pulled on my black zip up hoodie reaching just above my knees I grabbed my cell phone and called my friend. "Hey! Freya! Where are you? Your shift already started!" my friend Tina yelled over the music. "I got some special business to take care of tonight Tina, sorry but tell Emilia she can take my pole" I chose my words carefully so Tina would know exactly what I meant without saying it straightforward. Tina didn't really understand my religious ways or my need to street fight for money when I was the best pole dancer in New Jersey working the pole and the chair milking every last dollar from the men with total ease. "Oh…alright don't worry I'll get Emilia to help out she's always ready for working the night shift" Tina mocked and I rolled my eyes totally agreeing with our 17-year-old friend's too-loose-attitude.

"Thanks…Oh, and Tina?" I asked her one last thing. "Yeah, what?"

"Don't get freaked but…" I bit my lip not understanding the words myself "If I don't pick up tomorrow...I might not be coming back but…can you not worry about me? And tell nothing to my parents or anyone about this call?" My best friend since grade school fell silent and I waited for her response holding my breath listening to the blaring techno music in the background. "I promise…" her words were the key that unlocked the breath and I let it out slowly with relief. "But please…be careful Freya"

Her quiet plea made me smile, she understood this was important and she supported me no matter what and vice versa.

"I promise Tina you don't need to worry bout me and thank you for understanding" I gave a chuckle at the end and I heard her sigh the smile obvious in the sound. "No problem chickadee, I'll catch you later" She chose her words carefully making it sound like less of a goodbye and more like a "until we meet again" and we hung up not knowing if we will ever talk to each other again. With unwavering determination, I lock the door to my room and hopped on my old beach bike as the setting sun behind me painted the world in blood.

later that night...

I walked down the streets of Point Pleasant near the seven eleven in my black hoodie, the dark staff and thick chains in my hand. I held it with ease and calm fingers. Under my hoodie I had a belt with my chains and padlocks figuring they might come in handy. In the light of the overhead street lamp my silver Jashin pendant shone bright catching the attention of the figures incased by the shadows of the side of the store. Teens of all shapes sizes hairstyles and clothing or (in the girls' case lack thereof) stood around with bikes, bowls and bottles conversing and fooling around.

Everyone looked over at me as I approached them, my ivory blonde hair tucked into my hood, my bangs completely covering my face.

"I'm here to enter the midnight brawl…" I asked in a quiet voice watching everyone quietly from behind my blonde curtain. "oh really? And just who are you kid?" a boy probably too young to be here asked and I growled. "Who you calling a kid, ya little brat?" I asked him angrily. The boy was taller than me by a few inches but I was a short person so what?

"I'm calling you a kid obviously!" He laughed loud and obnoxiously, drunk for sure. I bolted forward ducking sideways and tripped him backwards but kept him from falling by grabbing his neck with one hand. "You wanna see my ID? Or my 34C's to prove I am older than you?" I hissed, my mahogany colored eyes glowing in the dim light. The boy coughed and choked slightly at the grip I had on his neck.

"I am giving you an option most girls my age wouldn't give you, punk!"

I sneered throwing him down on the pavement and shoved my ID in his face. It read I was 19 years old and the boy stared wide-eyed. "Damn then you are short…"

WHACK! I slapped him hard stunning him. "Maybe your just freakishly tall! Ever thought about that?" My back straightened before giving the kid one last kick in the side. Everyone was silent.

"I am here for the midnight brawl who's in charge here, fuckers?" I demanded looking everyone in the eyes who in turn averted their eyes to anywhere but me.

"I am" a deep grumbling voice form the shadows beckoned and I felt chills go down my spine. 'I feel like I've heard that voice…' the man came from the shadows and almost seemed like he was attached to them by threads. I stared at his tan skin but his eyes and mouth were covered. He had dark glasses on and the collar of his jacket came up covering his nose and mouth. His hair was straggly and black. Stitch marks ran across on his forearms. 'I wear my sunglasses at night…' I sang in my head and bit back a giggle 'alright Freya focus girl!' I scolded myself mentally. "Kaku…" I started to mumble but was interrupted.

"Yes I am the leader of this tournament, Mason at your service young lady" if it weren't for the mocking tone he used or the gesture of bowing with his hand out to me I would've been a lot more intimidated by him but being the crazy sadistic chick I was I decided that there's always room for being cheeky. "Quit being chivalrous, it doesn't suit you, just sign me up already" I demanded and the guy chuckled softly.

"You got guts…and from what I've seen so far with Lukas over there, over there you have some skill…but do you got the cash?" he asked me quietly. I saw the kid named Lukas 'hmpf' and turn away.

"How much? and I only take cash"

"Cash…and a lot"

"How much is a lot?"

I sighed in irritation. "I have enough for the tournament and then some to spare on a new weapon same size after I'm done butchering the competition…." The man nodded his head slowly thinking about the next question to ask me. "You are that confident you can win? You know that there is a possibility you might die right?" he asked me testing to see if that would make me back out. 'Psh! As if!' I commented mentally.

Staring into his eyes beyond his glasses I stated. "I've died at least 3 times this year" my eyes were dead set on his even though I couldn't see past the dark tinted material hiding them. "Hmm another one of you" 'mason' said under his breath as he looked back behind him to a whole other group. "I'm not immortal or anything but I feel that lord Jashin has granted me a few extra lives" I explained "But its not like you can stab me with a machete and still be able to dance the YMCA or anything" this earned a few chuckles form the kids on their bikes taking hits from a glass bowl. Obviously they liked my explanation 'Yay skittles and cookies for them' I commented sarcastically in my head.

"Alright then, go stand over there with the others and I will be there shortly. "Hey wait!" I called and he turned to me slowly. "Here" I held out a small wad of dollar bill from my coat pocket. "Buy me a NOS please?" He snorted but took the money form my hand anyway. I knew he was happy about not paying for me…somehow I just knew…

He got me my drink and I clicked the tab back taking a long sip and sighing at the wonderful taste. I could feel the caffeine coursing through my body already charging me up and everyone stared at me. "Your eyes lit up just now…" One of them told me and I shrugged.

"Alright then if you are ready just follow us… if you can keep up" Mason then took off running with the group disappearing into shadows and I immediately began following them.

We ran through trees sometimes a group member stopped to make sure I didn't fall behind. At one time I hurdled over a tree branch and zipped past the person waiting for me. "Hurry up blondie" I giggled. I heard the guy grumbling quietly. "Screw you, hm" the voice sounding way too familiar to be real. We bounded our way over buildings and down alleys, over fences. One fence a figure with ski goggles and a high collared jacket was having trouble climbing. He saw me coming and I decided to show off. Crouching completely I launched myself high into the air "yahoo!" I yelled in a slightly crazed tone. Grabbing the top of the wooden fence I did a round off move over the fence smiling cheekily at the figure stuck on the fence suddenly the blonde ran into the figure and they came crashing down with a yell. I laughed out loud as I ran ahead.

We hurdled and jumped until we made it to the playground, abandoned and neglected but had massive wooden structures with narrow passageways for little kids tunneling everywhere. In the center was a place called the "spider's web". A deep encircled area with woodchips as the ground. A thick beam in the center where chains covered in some tubing for kids to climb up. but I guess people removed most of it but kept the high level ones intact. Alright are all the contestants here?" mason asked the crowd I still couldn't see very well. "Roll call: Ori?" "Present" a female voice spoke out in a soft low tone. She was attached to a man with spiky hair and peircings on his face reflecting the light from the moon pale and silvery over head. "Reese?"

The man attached to Ori answered with a quiet 'here'. "Sheridan?" a guy with long black hair and coal black eyes and crow lines on his face 'hned' a response letting him know he was here. "Grant?"

A red heard with a face tattoo spoke in a gravely husky voice "yeah…"

"Hayden?" "You know fuckin well I'm here dipshit" A harsh voice yelled out. "Derek?" "I'm here hm"

"Tommy" "Tommy is here Kaku…I mean mason!" I couldn't help perking up at the slip up of names. "Zack?"

"We are here" "and starving"

"Samson?" "I am here mason…." A boy fixing some contraption in his hands spoke softly. "Kevin" "I'm here, I'm here" a man with dyed blue hair snapped his overly harp teeth together with a loud clacking sound. "Alright I think we are all here…."

"Hey wait…" I called out and the dark figure of mason stared down at me. "What is your name?"

"My real name or my fighter name?" I asked and the man just shrugged. "It doesn't matter"
"Ryuko, but my real name is Freya…" I told them and everyone blinked at the same time. "Ryuko? Really?" Reese mused and I nodded. "Alright then, Ryuko, the crowds will be here in a few minutes so pay up" mason asked me with an outstretched palm. I unzipped the top of my hoodie. Two of the guys leaned forward excited by the action and I flipped them off. Reaching into my bikini top turned away from the prying eyes, I pulled out the 80 bucks and slapped it into his hand. Mason quickly counted the money and nodded with approval let me pass him and join the group around the spider web.

"So when does the crowd get here?" I asked the group who just stared at me. The whole time I could barely see their faces. "You will see…but for now join us in the spider web and we must talk to you about rules.

I was a bit skeptical but I followed his orders and jumped down into the arena like space. "Alright I have some rules for you Ryuko" the one named Reese stated and I turned to him. "If you win three rounds, you get the money from the whole groups entrance. If you lose once, you have to come with us…." He explained the terms of agreement and I thought over it for a minute. It sounded kind of sketchy the way he said it, but it didn't matter now anyways, I already gave the greedy 'leader' my entrance fee. "Okay, what do I got to lose really…" and I shook his hand.

Bit by bit the small crowd of spectators came to stand around the "arena" placing bets and cheering for their favorite fighter.

"Who's that chick?" one boy screamed out and I glared up at him.
"She's a kid! The fuck you doing in there kid?"

"FUCKYOU SONOVA BITCH! IM GUUNNA GUT YOU LIKE A FISH AND FEED YOU TO LORD JASHIN'S HOUNDS!" I raved like the maniac I was. This shut him up and the crowd cheered. "The first round!" Mason announced. "Kevin and Ryuko" he spoke and the crowd started chanting Kevin's name as he appeared under the moonlight. His face had tattooed gills on them and his eyes a sandy gold color. He was freaking tall and his teeth were razor like shaped. His spiky hair was dyed blue and he gave off a predatory kind of vibe. "Lets get this done" he laughed and I smirked. "One weapon, no blades or guns" mason stated and I pulled out my chain whip. "Damn that is sick" Kevin commented as I held it in my hands in a ready stance. "Fighters ready?" mason stood at the top of the large wooden pole centered in the middle of the arena. "FIGHT!" he yelled and I stared the opponent down. He wasted no time and came at me with a bandaged up staff twirling around. I wrapped my chain around it and pulled. His feet slid across the wood chip ground as he pulled me back and forth but I held my ground. "damn your strong kid ill give ya that but still you cant beat me" he sneered and I growled. "shut it jabber jaws!" I yanked hard and I pulled him forward as I launched towards him nailing him in the face with my fist. I unwrapped my chain and whirled it over my head throwing it and latching onto his body. Jumping high over one of the lose chain ropes of the spider web I pulled him with me. I smirked as I landed yanking hard with a primal howl. "Jashin will bring his hammer down on you atheist heathen!" I cried and coincidentally a large beam form the play ground jutted out into the arena and I pulled Kevin so hard he flew up and his head collided with the beam above. he grunted in pain as I pulled the chain shorter and pulled him to the ground with a thud. "rrrrreeeaaaaaahhH!" I roared and hoisted him up over my head back and forth (A/N: envy tossing greed over his head back and forth in full metal alchemist lolol) when I sensed he wasn't fighting back and wrapped him around the pole and stared at him panting. He was unconscious.

"K.O! Ryuko is the winner!" mason called out and I sighed. "I'm not unconscious…but I'm beat I'll admit" I turned to face Kevin as he grinned at me. "You got strength and skills kid but I will warn you if you go against Ori…you wont get away without more than a few scratches" he said and I unwrapped the chains form him letting him get escorted off by the Tommy guy. "Ryuko is strong you beat up kisa…I mean Kevin!" he corrected and I narrowed my eyes. as they left eh arena. "I will let Ryuko catch her breath, viewers can place your next bet on Ryuko against Ori."

The next round was hand to hand and this girl had nails! Kevin wasn't kidding when he said a few scratches. Btu I knocked her out cold. Reese seemed pissed at the beating I gave her but I didn't give a shit.

Next up Ryuko…against Hayden" mason hesitated with a grin behind his cloak and the audience went quiet. "she's gonna die hm" Derek commented under his breath nearby but I heard him. "what? Mason what the fuck why do I have to go against this bitch! Are you out of your fuckin mind?" Hayden ranted angrily. He entered the arena regardless though and stood in front of me. "Non-bladed weapons are allowed"

I pulled out my chain whip again but added my staff to it. "I'm gunna slash a new mouth on your ugly mug to replace that fowl one you got already" I grinned evilly. Hayden seemed a bit shocked at my gutsy words. "oh really? Well guess what bitch, your luck aint so great since you are fighting me…but then again your lucky I don't have a blade or you'd be dead before you lay a scratch on me" Hayden smiled manically. I growled. "ready!" mason said from his post. "FIGHT" Hayden laughed crazily and lunged forward he parried and matched moves perfectly. I wrapped my chain around his ankle and yanked it tripping him effectively stunning him. I brought the blunt end of my staff around and whacked him across the face. He was sent sideways and growled. He pulled his foot hard and I stumbled caught off guard. I felt my stomach wrap around his knee as he jammed it hard into me. I flew back hitting the pole behind me. I yelped as he fisted my hair turning me around. He pulled my head back to bash it against the climbing wall. I saw stars as my head hit e wooden planks but a searing pain ran down my cheek as he dragged my face down against something sharp! I kicked back hitting his ribcage hard with a scream knocking his to the middle pole acting fast I wrapped the chain around him and yanked it by the staff earning a cough form him. I stared at him then at the wall. In the dark I could see the bent nail from the climbing wall sticking out glistening red with my blood. My cheek felt hot as I felt around the thin gash running from under my eye past eh corner of my mouth and to my jaw. "you mother fuckin shit head!" I shrieked and round kicked him across the face. "ill kill you!" I yelled jabbing him over rand over until I was out of breath and kneeling on the ground before him. "are you done bitching ya stupid cunt?" he asked me in a calm tone. Suddenly his leg wrapped around my staff and yanked it away he swiftly unwrapped the chains around him and before I could react he punched my breast plate. I felt his hand push my Jashin pendant dead on and it cut the skin. He pulled me up and I felt him head but me in the back of my head. I felt dizzy as he let my body fall to the ground with a thud. I stared up at him out of the corner of me eye breathing heavily. "Jashin will kill you for this…" I spat drowsily. Hayden laughed and whispered back. "I cant die sweet heart…Jashin-sama wouldn't do that to a devout follower…" I chocked on my breath or maybe it was on the blood that came bubbling up my throat and I cough out the metallic liquid. "you've lost…time to come with us…" Hayden smiled evilly and picked me up roughly throwing me over his shoulder. The audience dispersed and I felt the other groups surrounding me. "lets go…" Reese commanded. "hai…leader-sama" Ori answered him and the world swirled to black.
