Hello my good readers. I would like to thank you all for getting me to 100 reviews; I never thought I would get that many. Please enjoy this chapter I made, hopefully I will make them longer. (Oh, and just to let you know: The story is no longer focused on the war so I'm sorry if you want more war battles between Gundalia and the girls)

Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan. (P.S. Brace yourselves for a bunch of plot twisters)

Runo sighed as she walked around the garden. She was forced out after she accidently spilled water on Fabia's hand sewn dress. Runo was wearing a yellow jacket with a light pink shirt underneath. She was also wearing white jeans and black boots. Her hair was done in a ponytail and was hanging over her right shoulder.

"Ergh, why do I always feel angry and murderous whenever I see Fabia?" She asked herself as she threw a pebble into the lake.

"Oh, look at that. This makes this so much easier!" An unrecognizable voice said behind her. Runo started to turn around but something hit her head and she fell to the ground as someone harshly grabbed her and put a blindfold on her mouth.

"Mmm! Mm!" She yelled through the cloth. Her kidnapper chuckled as he dragged her away.

"Don't worry, pumpkin….You'll be reunited with death soon just like you were supposed to be ten years ago." He whispered in her ear. Runo continued to scream, forgetting her martial arts, but she was lost in thought.

What the heck does he mean ten years ago? Ten years ago, I moved to Wardington! What's so dangerous about that? Why does he want me? What's going to happen? Dan, where are you? Runo thought before she was knocked unconscious.

La…la….la….BOO! Ha-ha.

Dan was ripping apart a turkey leg with his teeth but stopped in mid-chew, realizing the dinner table was one blunette short. He swallowed his food.

"Hey, where's Runo? She never misses a chance to yell at me for eating." He said. The others shrugged.

"She wasn't in her room." Alice said as she set another plate in front of him.

"She'll be fine; I'm pretty sure Runo proved to us that she can handle herself better. I think the experience of Spectra kidnapping her really shook her up more than she showed." Shun said. Dan thought about it before slowly nodding.

"Yeah, she's fine." He agreed but he knew something was not right. He lost her once; he wasn't going to lose her again.

Fabia stood up and excused herself after finishing her meal.

"I have to go check the commander to see what his battle plans are for the next attack." She announced before nodding and leaving the room. Fabia walked down the corridors calmly but a million thoughts ran through her head.

I don't understand this! Why do I always feel so vengeful when Runo is around? She is such a nice girl and her intentions are golden. I don't have anything against her so I do feel like I want to stab her but when I think of doing it, there is always a feeling of guilt and grief?

"Ergh, what is wrong with me?" Fabia asked herself as she slammed her door shut. Suddenly, she couldn't see a thing as a blindfold covered her eyes as someone quickly tied her hands.

"Ahhhh!" She shrieked. "Let me go!" A cold hand covered her mouth.

"Stay calm and I might let you live." A voice whispered in her ear as they dragged her out the window. "Girl, put the note on the bed!" He hissed to his accomplice. Fabia's kidnapper then pushed her out the window but luckily, she landed in the bushes.

What is going on? Why are they trying to get me? What have I done to deserve this? Oh, no! Maybe they're Gundalians here to seek revenge on me! Fabia thought before something hit her head causing her to black out.

I'll have you beggin' on your knees for ME! I'll have you crawling like a centipede! (Sorry, don't own that awesome song. D=)

When Runo opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was blood stains on the wall causing her to freak out. She struggled to untie the roped on her hands but it was useless.

What do they want with me? Maybe they want to blackmail Dan so he-

Runo's thoughts were cut off as her kidnapper appeared in the doorway and threw in another girl. Runo gasped as she saw who it was as their kidnapper left.

Fabia! What do they want with Fabia? Why do they want me?

Runo knew it was useless to attempt an escape now that there was an unconscious girl in the room. Runo sighed as she used her tied hands to unzip her jacket then tugged on the fabric crazily to rip it off her wrists since they couldn't go over the ropes. She then crawled over to the Neathian princess and laid the jacket over her shivering body. Runo pulled her knees to her chest and sat next to the poor girl for a while before she drifted off to sleep.

When Fabia woke, the first thing she noticed was the warm jacket over her body. She sat up making the yellow jacket fall in her lap. She stretched her arms out but stopped cold when she saw the blood stains on the wall and then remembered she had been kidnapped. Fabia then heard light breathing beside her and she froze as she saw the other Haos brawler. After a moment, Fabia leaned over and untied the ropes on her hands before struggling to get her own off.

I get why the Gundalians want me but why Runo? What has she done?

Runo groaned as she started to wake. Fabia looked at her, startled.

"Ergh, where am I?" Runo moaned as she sat up groggily. Fabia stared at her. Runo's hair had escaped the ponytail and her clothes were extremely ruffled and slightly ripped from what Fabia guessed what was from her kidnapping. Runo ran her fingers through her hair before her eyes came fully into focus. Her head snapped up and she started looking around the room frantically before she sighed in relief as she saw Fabia.

"Oh, good. You're awake!" Runo exclaimed. Fabia nodded before handing the yellow jacket back.

"Yeah, thanks by the way for the blanket. You have any idea where we are and why we're here?" She asked as she rubbed her arm. The bushes she had fallen in left a big purple bruise. Runo shook her head.

"What I really want to know is why we were both kidnapped. At first I suspected it was revenge seeking Gundalians but then I realized they would be smart enough to kidnap Alice and Julie too but they obviously intended to kidnap just us." She explained. Fabia thought about it.

"Good point; so now what?" She asked. Runo shrugged. Fabia stared at Runo. She never realized it, but their eye color was almost exactly the same. She shook her head. Ergh, what is wrong with me?

Runo shut her eyes. She felt like she had been in this room before. Like something horrible had happened; like she was responsible for the blood stains. She opened her eyes again to see Fabia massaging her temples nervously.

Hmm, I never noticed it before but Fabia and I have a lot in common. Our eye color is nearly the same, we both are Haos brawlers, and our hair color is blue which is not natural. Not many…okay nobody has natural blue hair. Julie has natural silver hair but that's some strange Australian gene from hundreds of years ago. Ergh, what is wrong with me!

Fabia was about to say something but Runo shushed her. She pointed to the door where you could hear muffled voices.

"Are you saying we kill them?" A shrill voice shrieked. It obviously belonged to a young girl. A low growl was heard. "Tell that rat you call a cat to stop growling at me!" Another growl.

"Don't fret Mew-Mew, the girl is obviously confused. Now, Brenna….we made a deal, remember? You help bring the princesses to me and you can seek revenge on Fabia for…whatever she has done and I can finish what I was to do ten years ago to that tomboy, Runo!" A husky male voice growled. Fabia and Runo shared a frightened yet confused look.

"I have told you before Venom! Fabia has not done anything! It is that stupid redhead that has stolen my Shunny-Kun!" the girl called Brenna shrieked. Runo chuckled under her breath. Her Shunny-Kun? Alice is a lot of things, especially sweet but she has a dark side too. And I am positive stealing her boyfriend might bring that side out!

"Don't worry; you will receive your revenge. For now, we must keep them alive." Venom said in a low voice, obviously aware the girls might hear them. Brenna groaned in irritation.

"Why bother if you plan to kill the one they call Ru-" She was interrupted by Venom slapping his hand over her mouth.

"Hush, girl! It has been a few hours since they were kidnapped so it is possible they may be awake by now! I will carry out my execution but you must be patient Brenna!" He hissed in a low whisper. Brenna whimpered but nodded.

Runo and Fabia soon realized breathing became harder as they fully thought about their kidnappers revealed.

"We're going to die!" Fabia whispered. Runo could only nod absently. There was only one thing that had really caught her attention from the conversation.

He called us princesses…..both of us…..why?

I'm missing you so much, can't help that I'm in love! A day without you is like a year without rain! (I do not own that either…I just love the song!)

Julie, Alice, and the others were freaking out. The castle was in chaos. Soldiers were running around frantically, once in a while, yelling orders to others.

"The princess has been kidnapped!"

"So has Mistress Runo!"

Shun wrapped his arms around Alice as Billy did the same to Julie. Dan was nervously biting his nails. Where are they? I know they're not safe but hopefully they're still alive!

"We need to figure out where they are!" Dan exclaimed. Julie glared at him.

"Don't think we haven't tried?" She snapped, fighting the tears in her eyes.

"Marucho read the note again! The one we found in Fabia's room! Maybe there's a clue in there!" Alice exclaimed. The little blonde boy sniffed before holding out the letter they had found.

"Dear brawlers and beloved Neathians,

I have returned after ten years of solitude to carry out the duty that was given to me. I have returned to dispose of the blue haired girl. My accomplice has revealed she has a royal status and that she is important to the brawlers. The night the moon disappears is the night you will be able to hear the girls' final scream. They will be heard from the central point of N.

Die with venom."

Alice's head snapped up. "Of course! The new moon! That's what it means when they said 'the night the moon disappears'! That's in three days!"

Marucho reread the letter. "Yes, Alice is correct! Look here, it says their final scream is heard mainly from the central point! The N must mean Neathia!"

Julie looked excited. "What's the central point of Neathia?" The others shrugged but asked the other soldiers to search around the middle of Neathia. Shun bit his lip nervously.

"What's wrong Shun?" Alice asked. His other friends glanced at the Ventus brawler. He sighed.

"The letter said that the new moon is when we will able to hear the girls' last scream. Do you think that means that their kidnapper will kill them?" He asked. The others paled.

"We need to find them, pronto!" Dan exclaimed. "Ren, do you have any idea where they might be?" They all turned to the Darkus brawler. Ren sighed.

"The letter said that this dude is out to finish what he started ten years ago. He is obviously a Neathian or Gundalian. You all are the first humans to come here in over a decade. The first human was….." He trailed off, a far-away look in his eyes.

"Yeah? Who was the first human on Neathia?" Alice asked impatiently.

"The first human on Neathia was born here…Seventeen years ago. Ten years ago, she was framed for a crime she didn't commit and was sentenced to death by a man named Robert Venom. However, her parents couldn't bear to see their weakest daughter die so they interfered and the three of them became humans. They were supposed to die instantly but something happened and they were stripped of their Neathian blood. The last we heard of them was when they announced they leaving for Earth and didn't plan on coming back." Ren explained. "They left their other two daughters to Neathia's finest and left. All of their daughters had their memories altered. The half-Neathian was believed to be an Earth girl who just moved from another town and was an only child. Her Neathian sisters grew up together but without parents or a memory of their youngest sister. There is a prophecy that is said that the war will end only when the sisters are reunited. Then, their memories will be restored."

The others stared at him. "No way." Dan said in a quiet voice. Ren nodded grimly.

"I…I was friends with them. She was…framed by her sister." He whispered. Everyone gasped.

"Why…why don't you tell them the truth if you know what really happened to them?" Jake asked. Ren shook his head.

"They have to meet by themselves, not by force." He said. Julie massaged her temples.

"Do you know their names and where they are now?" She asked. Ren sighed and nodded.

"Who is it?" Billy asked. Ren took a deep breath.

"Fabia and Runo."

DUN DUN DUN! R&R! FORGIVE ME FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER! I HOPE THIS LONGER CHAPTER MAKES UP FOR THAT!
