Hello! This chapter I feel as if I covered a lot of ground. ENJOY! Thank you for all the support! I mean that! Also, for an explanation about Wolborg see the bottom author's note.

REVIEW!

With Max captured; Artemis and Zeus had returned to Boris as requested. Once they were there, Boris stood before them with his hands folded behind his back. Artemis stood before him with a serious expression while Zeus looked more laid-back and kept looking around the office. Artemis gave him a nudge to make him pay attention. Boris was silent as if he were trying to find the right words to say. After a while he spoke.

"Zeus, what are your goals?" The man asked.

"Hm?"

"It's occurred to me that you may not share the same goals as Artemis."

A grin appeared on his face "That's true."

Artemis' eyebrow twitched as she tried to remain expressionless.

Boris glanced at her before looking back at Zeus, "Then please tell me what they are. You fought valiantly against Brooklyn for me, and then you attack the lighthouse when you weren't ordered to do so…I'm beginning to question your motives and wondering if you can be trusted."

Artemis went to vouch for Zeus when Boris stopped her. He did not question Artemis' determination, but he knew her judgment might become clouded when faced with questionable motives of another sacred beast. It was for that reason he had called them both in. Artemis wouldn't distrust one of her kind; she only distrusted humans, Zeus could very well betray them through small actions and Artemis would be none the wiser to them.

"Ah, why is everyone making such a big deal out of that?" Zeus sighed.

"I want an answer. Why did you do it?" Boris asked in a forceful tone.

"I wanted to have some fun."

"What?!" both Artemis and Boris exclaimed.

Zeus just shrugged, "If you really want to know, I thought it was a stupid idea to gather them all in one place like the lighthouse…for multiple reasons."

"Oh you did huh? Reasons like what?"

"Well…One: they all felt safe there with each other. Two: Artemis goes to collect Draciel and you think all of them are just going to let her? She wouldn't be able to take on all those beasts alone, sorry let's face it…she's not THAT powerful. Three: it was fun. Four: You have Draciel now. Five: I was bored standing around doing nothing all day. Five part 2: I wanted them to feel fear, it's much more entertaining to watch your prey writhe as you watch the fear in their eyes grow, as they beg you for mercy, as they scream out for their beasts to protect them. Six: With them all separated they're afraid, they won't be able to concentrate and will be easier to defeat."

"So all because you wanted to have fun?" Boris frowned.

"That's part of it…I don't really care about this plot of yours. I just want to be on the hunt again." Zeus smiled.

Artemis shook her head "This entire time? Where's your pride Zeus!? These humans seal us away and use us in humiliating games and you just want to have fun?!"

"Does it matter what I want? As long as we get the job done, right?" He asked.

Artemis couldn't argue with that. As long as Zeus was being cooperative what more could be asked of him. He could not want the same as Artemis and Boris. Boris was not convinced though. He believed it was Zeus recklessness because things were "boring" might be their downfall.

"Zeus. If you would come with me for a moment." Boris said and started to walk away.

Zeus looked at Artemis for a while before following the purple haired man.

"Artemis, you can wait in the observer's room. I'll need you later." Boris told her before disappearing around a corner with Zeus.

Boris led him into the laboratory, and the scientists noticeably tensed up at Boris and Zeus' presence. Zeus looked around smirking at all the scientists, as if he were happy to see the stress on their faces. The purple haired man led him to an incubation tube with Brooklyn inside of it. Boris waited a moment before looking at Zeus.

"Recognize him?" Boris asked.

"Nope. Should I?" Zeus looked back at Boris.

"No. Good, it's not like I thought; then. Zeus, we may need you again. Stay close and don't do anything reckless." The purple haired man ordered before looking at the scientists, nodding his head.

Brooklyn was floating in the green liquid with wires connected to him. His face still had a demented grin and his eyes were still glowing green with slits for pupils. The scientists began to drain the liquid and stood back, not knowing what Brooklyn would do once he was out.

Tala winced, opening his eyes he looked around at the dark room. He grunted a little as he forced himself to sit up. His blue eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to make sense of what was going on, so far there was nothing but darkness.

"Where am I…?" He asked himself and felt a feeling of déjà vu. As he shifted his body to climb off the long metal table, his hand connected with something. Straining to see what it was he picked it up. It was a beyblade and launcher placed by his side.

Bright over-head lights turned on one by one and revealed his location. Squinting and shielding his eyes, he peeked out over his arm to see he was in an arena. It was a big wide-open space with tall walls and a high ceiling. A small observation box could be seen near the ceiling with Artemis standing inside it. Tala didn't know it, but this was the same Arena where Brooklyn had met his fate.

"Grrr…I'm sick of being a lab rat!" He snapped and jumped off the table, forgetting about his wounds momentarily.

Artemis scowled down at Tala as their gaze connected. Artemis hated the site of him. His words about being a lab rat brought her joy. Now he would know what its like to be used in a pathetic game against his will. Tala was glaring at the girl, feeling the same thing she was, hatred. She was just another one of Boris' pawns who he'd throw away; she was contradicting her cause.

"Who are you?" Tala demanded.

"It's none of your concern, but you won't last so I might as well tell you." She spoke in a cold and indifferent tone.

"Tch…"

"I'm the one who will make you understand the cruelty you humans put us through."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean put "us" through?"

"You use us in that stupid game; you imprison us and only use us to do your bidding!" Artemis yelled.

Tala was quiet and narrowed his eyes. Is she a bit-beast? No, how is that possible? Bit-beasts are spirits, they don't appear human to us.

He thought back to the time he saw the bright light in the sky. It was her power, and it was enough to disintegrate Brooklyn's beyblade. In order for her to do that, they had to be beybattling so why would she participate in a game she hated. The wolf bit his lip as he pieced it together. If she was a bit-beast and battled Brooklyn, it would explain her power. It was unfiltered, she had no owner to discover it and become one with her.

A bit-beast with a human form…But how?!

Tala blinked and gasped when he remembered Boris walking off with Wolborg's bit.

No way…that can't be it. It has to be something else!

An image of Brooklyn in the incubation tube popped into his mind. A chain reaction started and he remembered the dark power that took him over right before he lost consciousness. Two years ago when Boris attempted to connect his spirit with Wolborg's and eliminate his emotions to ensure 100% victory. A look of uneasiness, disgust, and anger was visible on Tala's face.

Boris was somehow giving bit-beasts bodies and using them to get to the rest of them. His hands clenched into fists as the thought made him sick. Instead of hiring new bladers, he just went straight to the source of power: sacred beasts.

Tala looked back up at Artemis who flashed him a cold stare. An automatic door opened behind her and Boris stepped into the box. The redhead could barely contain himself and yelled.

"Where's Kai?! What did you do to Brooklyn-and give me back Wolborg you creep!" He snapped.

Boris only smirked "You'll learn all of that in due time." he taunted.

Artemis glanced at Boris before looking back at Tala. She felt a hand placed on her shoulder as Boris leaned down to her, whispering something into her ear.

"Do what you will…"he whispered, giving her permission to control Tala's match before walking out of the room. Artemis smirked down at Tala who retaliated with a glare. She was a little disappointed; he was already exhausted, burned, injured, and didn't have his sacred beast…yet he wasn't trembling or showing any signs of pain.

He'll be difficult to break…She thought.

I'm not going to lose to someone-something like you…Tala thought.

"Well…let's begin." Artemis said and hit a button on the control panel.

Automatic launchers pointed at Tala. He growled and prepared his beyblade and launcher.

If I can use this to buy some time I can get a good look at this place and find a way out. Just don't tire yourself out…just play into their hands for now…Tala thought, already making up an escape plan.

The automatic launchers shot beyblades at Tala as he aimed and pulled the ripcord. He winced from pain as his beyblade left the launcher with a shaky start. It didn't matter though, his new beyblade tore through the others with little effort. Tala smirked a little, thinking if this was the best she could do then it was pathetic, however, there was a nagging in the back of his mind that said it'd get much worse. Artemis stood in the observer's box with an indifferent look, knowing that Tala would be harder to break.

The redhead felt the exhaustion in his body and tried to hide it. He hadn't been given a chance to recover other than being knocked out here and there. More automatic launchers pointed at him and fired beyblades. His was still spinning and took them out one by one once again.

"Not bad." Artemis said "but you won't be able to keep that up for long."

Boris walked down a long hallway before entering the labs once again. This lab was different though, it wasn't the one with the incubation tubes, and this particular one was more horrifying. The scientists kept all their faces covered and wore heavy looking lab coats. It was impossible to see what gender they were from looking at the body or listening to the voice since they all spoke with the same mechanical tone.

They were huddled around one machine as a light glowed from it. As Boris walked closer he saw what was causing the light. Wolborg's bit was inside the machine with wires hooked up to it. The group stood around it writing notes down on clipboards before some blue electricity spiraled around the wires and went into the bit. The light started to glow brighter as a faint howl was heard.

"Will it be ready soon?" Boris asked.

"Yes, sir." One nodded.

"We've begun on Black Dranzer as well, sir. Draciel is next on the list. What would you have us do with Dranzer?"

"Hm. Well Artemis all ready knows we have Dranzer. If the others have a body and he doesn't she'll suspect something…it's to soon to enlighten her. Work on Dranzer next but lessen his priority." Boris said coldly.

"Sir." they nodded.

The electricity became stronger and crackling sounds were heard as Wolborg's spirit was drawn out of the bit and transferred to a body on a nearby gurney. The body was female with pure white skin and long silver-ish blue hair that flowed down to the back of her knees. She wore a long elegant white dress that hugged her body until it got to her hips, from there it flowed and was lose fitting.

A glowing blue light was seen heading down the wires and into the body. It was like a soul surrounding the mechanical body before it disappeared. Her eyes slowly opened and were pure white; no pupil, no iris, just white. Robotically she sat up, making the scientists and Boris flinch.

"None of them woke up this fast…" One of the scientists nodded.

"Well that's good news isn't it?" Boris asked, looking at the girl.

"I-it's hard to say…" another one said.

Clear grey blue eyes became visible as the girl stood up, the wires snapping from her body as she did so. She stumbled a little but gained balance in no time.

"Wolborg…" Boris smirked.

"What's it like to now be free once more?"

Wolborg didn't answer. She kept quiet with an icy stare that sent shivers even down Boris' spine. The wolf spirit long ago who he had captured and locked into Tala's bit was now standing face to face with him. A smirk crossed his face. Zeus didn't remember Brooklyn after they tweaked with the bit-beast's data, and he knew Wolborg would not remember Tala.

"The quiet type huh?" Boris asked her, still smirking.

The other scientists nodded, agreeing unanimously that they had finally succeeded in extracting a completely obedient bit-beast.

"Right, now that we know what data to use, let's begin on Black Dranzer. Full production. Use the same process." The 'leader' of them ordered.

Boris motioned Wolborg to follow him as he left the lab. Wolborg followed obediently but shot an icy glare back at the scientists.

Tala dodged the beyblades flying at him and tore threw them once he landed. It was just like the tests he had to do in the Abbey. It left him with a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach as the nostalgia took him over.

"I'm sick of this!" He snapped. Once the beyblades were destroyed and the next round was being prepared he looked at the observer's box.

"What's your problem?!"

Artemis narrowed her eyes "I all ready told you why I hate all of you. You don't listen either, obviously."

"You're the one who's working with some weirdo and terrorizing a bunch of people minding their own business! All for our bit-beasts? Yet you work with someone like Boris? That makes no sense! Do you have any idea what that man has done?!" Tala frowned; readying his launcher once again.

"It's probably because he thinks differently about the sacred spirits. He wants them freed! He's helping me achieve freedom for my brothers and sisters!" Artemis yelled back at him.

"Are you kidding me?! Boris of all people wouldn't care about freeing the bit-beasts! He's just posing as some 'savior' offering you something that's too good to be true! Once he exploits your desperation he brainwashes you to get what he wants! He wants the bit-beasts powers for himself! To him they are nothing but weapons of war!" the wolf snapped.

He launched his beyblade and dodged the oncoming blades that were hurdling towards him. He was getting tired. Tala couldn't keep going much longer. Each time he destroyed a beyblade he felt his body weaken. First the injuries he sustained from the fire, his injuries from his battle with Kai, and being attacked by some strange dark power, now fighting against beyblades non-stop while some bit-beast taunted him. It was insane!

"You're lying! You had an artificial beast in your possession! You created a beast just so you could have power! Boris is helping me! You are opposing me! You're the enemy! I know who you are. You're Tala Valkov! Former world champion and the runner up to last year's tournament, leader of the Blitzkrieg Boys, you participate in this stupid game with pride! You use your fake beast just to win!" Artemis snapped back, losing her controlled attitude. Tala got under her skin, much more than Brooklyn or any of the others had.

"What good would lying do me at a time like this? Who do you think GAVE me Wolborg? It was Boris! My team, how convenient the Demolition Boys wouldn't be mentioned and me. We all have bit-beasts who's sacred spirit was drawn out of them and put in our blades, it was Boris who did it! He wanted to create beasts stronger than any natural one could be. It doesn't stop there either, as if creating the beasts weren't enough for him he wanted to capture all of them! Dragoon, Dranzer, Draciel, Driger…the list is endless! He even planned to use the Black Dranzer! I'm going to assume I don't need to explain that abomination!" He yelled.

"Liar!" Artemis growled and typed several buttons on the control panel. More beyblades were launched at him until he was outnumbered completely. Tala tried his best to fight all the beyblades off but it was no use. His was so badly damaged and his body was too weak.

He fell to one knee and panted.

"I'm lying huh…? You don't think Boris could do that? He gave you a body didn't he? You think he doesn't know how to create bit-beasts!? All the bit-beasts he stole- he tried to control by connecting them to one person, that person was me. That's why I left. Boris doesn't care, it's all about him. There's plenty of other bladers with bit-beasts who aren't on this island. Jin of the Gale, The Majestics…and many more! If he cared about freeing them, why aren't all the others HERE?!" he snapped and stood up.

His blade gained power and forced the group of opposing blades backwards.

Artemis looked a little horrified as she say Tala gain so much strength out of nowhere. She frowned and launched more beyblades at him, but his words were buzzing around in her head.

"The reason is because I ruined his second attempt at controlling everything through beyblading. Getting us out of the way would let him do whatever he wants. He's just lying to you so you do as he asks."

The anger in his voice rose as his power increased. The look on his face even frightened Artemis to some degree and made her wonder if what he was saying had any truth to it. She shook her head, tossing out everything he said before launching another series of beyblades at him.

Tala looked determined but also looked like he'd pass out. He took a breath and sent his blade out again, not letting up for a second.

If I can get those launchers on the wall to malfunction…The wolf glanced at the wall with all the launchers. He jumped back and dodged as more tried to hit him. The arena was sealed off; there was no way he could get out of there by himself. There had to be a lever or a button on the control panel in the control panel. His icy blue eyes glanced up at the observer's room. If he could shatter the glass and somehow get into the observers box, he could escape through the automatic doors.

It could work. The wolf nodded. I'll take her out while I'm up there.

Before the next series of blades could be launched, Tala sent his beyblade up the wall and crashing into the automatic launchers. His eyes narrowed once he saw how severely his blade was wobbling and had to pull back.

"No…" he glared.

Artemis frowned, understanding what he was trying to do, and laughed at his failed attempt.

Tala growled before looking up at her, "Out of curiosity, what are you going to do once you get all of us on the island? There are other bladers, powerful bladers, who aren't here. Once Boris gets what he wants. Where does that leave you?" He asked with a steady but angry voice. He was almost pleading with her. He was desperately trying to reach her.

Artemis frowned at him and pointed the reloaded launchers at him. Tala scoffed and decided he was finished wasting his breath, he had to focus on escaping now.

The automatic doors opened behind Artemis, causing her to jump and turn around. She sighed when she saw it was only Boris. The purple haired man walked up next to her and smirked when he saw the condition Tala was in.

"Oh Tala, you're still as strong as I remember. I'm ashamed to say I have underestimated you yet again." He taunted.

Tala growled, "Whatever you're going to do just do it. I'm tired of being toyed with."

"If you wish." Boris smiled and hit a button that opened two double doors in front of Tala.

The red head instinctively stepped back, straining to see what was in the darkness. To his surprise, Wolborg stepped out of the shadows and stood a few feet away from him.

"W…Wolborg…?" Tala blinked.

Artemis looked just as surprised as Tala but frowned in confusion. "Shiva…? " Artemis whispered.

That spirit…it's not artificial. She thought. She was positive all of Tala's team had artificial sacred beasts but in front of her stood what she knew as a real one.

No…it's just a cheap imitation. It's not her. Artemis looked at it with disgust.

"Wolborg!" Tala yelled "Hey! Can you hear me? Wolborg!"

Wolborg didn't respond and stared silently at Tala with cold, dead eyes.

Wolborg. Wolborg…not Shiva. Artemis convinced herself.

The ice woman raised her arm that had an automatic launcher on it and was getting ready to launch it. Tala sighed and had no choice but to defend himself with his left over, badly damaged beyblade. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He looked sick but also like he understood.

"So that's how you're doing it…with Dr. Zagart's research-"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Boris interrupted him and ordered Wolborg to fight Tala.

Wolborg launched first and a trail of mist followed her blade. It was aimed directly at Tala who jumped out of the way and fired his. While he was still in mid-air, Wolborg's blade sent out ice spikes, catching him off guard, one of them almost impaled him. The redhead twisted in the air to avoid the spikes but one grazed his left side.

He landed clumsily and looked at the scratch. It didn't look too bad, he had just gotten lucky the spike hadn't made a direct hit; otherwise he'd be missing that side of his rib cage. The wolf painfully looked at his bit-beast. She used an attack he hadn't developed yet. Her beyblade charged at Tala's with speed he had never seen before, fog surrounded it, and a trail of ice was left behind the beyblade that stretched outwards.

The redhead dodged again, shocked at the power he didn't know his own bit-beast had. Boris smirked as he saw Tala's futile attempt at escaping. Wolborg attacked again and this time the Blitzkrieg Boy was caught in a hailstorm. Desperately trying to shield himself from the pieces of hail crashing into his body, he sustained more injuries. Welts and cuts appeared on his skin, his burns were especially painful when hit with the hail.

"Aaaahh!" Tala yelled in frustration as he sent a powerful icy wind out around him and blew back the hail.

Boris chuckled to himself as he silently urged Tala to give into his primal instincts. Artemis' brow furrowed as she glanced at Boris then back at the redhead. Tala hunched over slightly which gave him a feral appearance. A chilling aura around him; his head hung down and shadowed the majority of his face and his breathing was heavier, sounding like snarls. Tala's skin had become pale and light blue, like someone who had been frozen, his hair had became a blood red color and his icy blue eyes had a glow to them; his sclera's (white of the eye) were dark which only made his iris' more apparent, and he now had fangs.

Wolborg had stopped attacking him and just stared when she realized his aura had changed. Without being told she turned her back and exited the arena the way she entered. Boris was pleased at the obedience of her. Artemis had her same emotionless expression but in her mind nothing made sense. She had distrusted Boris from the beginning, Zeus had acted on his own and talked back to even her, but the bit-beast called 'Wolborg' had not spoke, had not been told to attack, and had not been given any orders by Boris. This bothered Artemis. If Wolborg were an artificial bit-beast then she would be hard wired to obey Tala. She had concluded the artificial bit-beasts would be harder for them to convince and that's why she was against working with them.

Without thinking Artemis looked at Boris and asked, "What did you do to her?"

"Just gave her a body, like I did with you and Zeus." Boris said innocently.

Artemis frowned slightly, "That's all? It's an artificial bit-beast that willingly turned on its master so easily? I would think that they'd be the ones who would be the hardest to convince-"

"You worry too much, just trust me Artemis, she's acting out of her own will."

Artemis was quiet and wondered if artificial bit-beasts could have their own will. Her doubt was rising with Wolborg's actions and Tala's words.

"Her own will…huh?" Artemis asked, and then nodded.

Boris smiled and looked at Tala who was giving the scientists trying to apprehend him a very difficult time. His transformation was very different than Brooklyn's but acting irrational seemed to be the common symptom. Artemis sighed as she watched.

After a while she looked at Boris again "What's the point of doing this to them?"

"So they understand what it feels like to be used. You said yourself didn't you Artemis? They're weak so they rely on their bit-beasts strength, now they're the ones being used for the same purpose." He grinned.

"I see. What about after we collect all the sacred spirits?" She asked.

"After?"

"Yes. All the humans on this island, this will be their fate? What about after we get them all?" Artemis asked.

"All in good time. Let's not jump ahead and overwhelm ourselves."

She paused and stared at him for a while, "Why won't you tell me?"

"We don't want to overwhelm ourselves. I have a plan, don't worry Artemis. What's gotten into you, I wonder?"

"Nothing…I just wanted to make sure you have a plan. Now that we've weakened them…they'll try to fight harder."

"Which will all be a futile attempt." Boris smirked.

"Yes…" She hesitantly agreed.

"Dranzer and Draciel are next on the list. Zeus and Brooklyn have already headed out so feel free to rest yourself." The purple haired man told her.

"What…?"

"I won't need you for a little while, you've been working very hard, so go ahead and rest." he said again.

Artemis nodded and exited the observer's box but looked over her shoulder to watch Boris before the automatic doors closed. She turned forward again and continued walking when Wolborg crossed her paths in the hallway. Wolborg was walking towards the labs while Artemis was heading towards the offices. Artemis stopped in her tracks but Wolborg didn't pay her any attention and continued walking.

"Shiva!" Artemis shouted when Wolborg passed her.

Wolborg stopped and glanced over her shoulder at Artemis who smiled at the acknowledgment.

"I knew it…It's you isn't it? Shiva? It's really you?" Artemis asked hopefully.

Wolborg said nothing and just stared at Artemis who was waiting desperately for an answer. There was silence for a few seconds until Wolborg continued walking again, leaving Artemis standing in the hallway. Artemis frowned as she watched the other bit-beast treat her so coldly, but was certain who 'Wolborg' was now.

Artemis pondered for a little while "Demolition Boys…" she muttered, deciding to do a little research.

Kai was fading in and out of consciousness from being electrocuted. His vision blurred in and out as he stared at the ceiling. He winced a little and realized he was on a table being taken somewhere. His vision finally stabilized and the scientists who were moving the table hadn't noticed. He would close his eyes whenever one of them looked at him, trying to make them think he was still unconscious.

Kai pretended he was helpless in order to get his bearings. He memorized all the turns and how long it was taking them to get to wherever the destination was. The phoenix was waiting for the perfect moment to escape. They made it to the arena finally, the table came to a stop and the double doors opened. Kai jumped to his feet.

"What the!" One of the scientists yelled as Kai moved from the table and the doors to the arena opened.

The two-toned blader moved skillfully and kicked the table as hard as he could. The table forced the two scientists up against the wall as the metal collided with their bodies. Feeling triumphant Kai began to turn but saw familiar red hair out of his peripheral vision. It made him do a double take and his eyes widened as he saw what Tala had become. It paralyzed him, giving Tala enough time to attack him.

Kai snapped out of it and was staring into two glowing blue eyes. A feeling of fear overcame him but luckily he moved out of the way in time. Kai rolled on the ground and coughed a few times. Like Tala, Kai had been through many obstacles that weakened him and slowed his reflexes.

Boris noticed there was some commotion and Kai hadn't entered the arena yet. He contacted the scientists and asked what was going on. Once he learned Kai was conscious and Tala was attacking him, he ordered his subordinates to lock them in the arena together.

The scientists tried to recover from being assaulted with the metal table, while the other scientists who were in charge of transporting Tala to the labs tried to come up with a plan to lure both of them into the arena. Kai was kneeling on the ground and saw ice covering the floor and wall and continued growing. He glanced at his leader and stood up.

"Tala…" he hissed a little.

In truth Kai was worried at Tala's appearance. No, worried was an understatement, he was petrified at what had become of his teammate. While Kai was distracted the scientists tried to surround them. When Tala attacked him again Kai dodged and one of the scientists pushed Kai off balance.

"Ah!" Kai stumbled backwards as Tala gained on him and was punched hard in the stomach.

The two of them had been coaxed into the arena just as Boris had wanted, without either of them realizing it. The doors closed and Kai and Tala were locked in together. The two toned blader coughed and fell to his knees; clutching his stomach. His leader stood in front of him, standing up straight but looked severely off balance.

Kai glared up at him, "You'll pay for that…"

"Hehe…" Tala smirked a little and grabbed the front of Kai's shirt, lifting him off the ground. Kai grasped Tala's wrist and kicked him hard in the chest, forcing his leader to let go and pushing his body back. The phoenix skillfully landed and put distance between them.

"Very nice…" Boris' voice could be heard over the speakers.

Kai growled and looked up at the observer's box. "Boris! You did this to him, didn't you?!"

Before he could receive his answer, Tala had struck Kai down to the floor once more.

"Damn you…" Kai snapped.

Tala picked up the beyblade Wolborg had used and prepared to launch it. Kai looked at him with disdain and figured he had no choice but to knock Tala down to size. He reached for one of the beyblades on the floor that was the least damaged and took out his launcher.

Boris smirked as he watched.

"Sir. There's a problem…" A voice spoke to him through the control panel.

Boris' smirk disappeared "What is it?" he asked through his headset.

"There's an intruder."

"Intruders?! In the facility?!"

"No sir…on the island." The voice confessed.

"The island…? Well, who are they?! Capture them!" Boris snapped.

"Uh…we would but…we can't get a clear visual on any of the cameras."

"Bah. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself…fine, I'll be there shortly." he sighed.

With frustration and believing he had hired idiots he spoke to Kai through the speakers in the arena.

"I'm terribly sorry I'll have to leave you two boys alone for a few minutes. Play nice." Boris said mockingly before leaving Kai to his fate.

The phoenix gritted his teeth as Boris disappeared from the observer's box. Kai had no choice but to defend himself against Tala's attacks.

Boris walked back to the familiar room with all the screens. His minions at the computer looked at him with worried looks.

"Well, spit it out. Who are the intruders?!" Boris snapped.

"We've lost sight of them, sir." One of the women said.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Here, I-I'll show you earlier footage." the woman stuttered and cut the live feed to show Boris a pre-recorded clip.

He walked up behind her and leaned forward to see it better. Having Boris so close to here made her extremely nervous. She searched through the clip and paused it at the right moment.

"Right there!" She shouted.

Boris looked at it, straining to see what it was. It just looked like a smudge on the lens, like some dirt or something had been stuck. Unsatisfied, he ordered her to rewind the clip and play it. It didn't help much, the smudge was moving but it was impossible to tell what it was. As the clip played the smudge disappeared into the trees.

"Hm…" Boris crossed his arms.

"Where are Brooklyn and Zeus now?" He asked.

The woman typed away on the computer and brought up a video feed of Brooklyn staggering through the forest.

"They're headed to the target, sir." The woman said.

Boris nodded but seemed puzzled about something. "High Quality cameras…and they get a smudge…" he scoffed. He contacted Zeus via his headset and ordered him to head to the direction the smudge was caught on the camera.

Garland grasped a rock and hoisted himself up. Raul was slung over his shoulder and once he hit solid ground he gently laid Raul on the grass. The young twin was unconscious and a little bruised but other than that he was fine. Garland turned around and grabbed Michael's arm and pulled him up on the ledge.

"Man…what on earth was all that about." Michael complained and punched the ground.

"I don't know…" Garland sighed, but was worried about the shadow that had covered the lighthouse.

Garland found the power familiar just as Mystel had, and recognized it as Brooklyn's.

"No point worry about that now…" The silver haired blader looked at Raul.

It went silent before Michael yelled in a frustrated tone and pounded his fist against his palm. "So much for a relaxing vacation!"

Frantic rustling was heard in the forest as the two of them tensed up. Garland and Michael gathered around Raul in order to protect him while Garland prepared his blade to be launched.

Eddie appeared from the forest, carrying fruit in his arms. "Michael! All right! I knew it!"

Michael's face lit up "Eddie!"

Spencer appeared right behind Eddie and was also carrying some fruit. Garland looked happy to see at least one Blitzkrieg all right.

Michael asked Eddie if there was anyone else and exchanged information. Eddie said Emily, Hilary, Kenny, and Aaron were all waiting by the shore as Spencer explained to the two that Eddie and himself went to look for food. Garland sighed and was hoping he'd run into some of his team but Spencer was thinking the same thing. He felt uncomfortable around anyone other than Tala, Bryan or Ian.

The four of them headed back while Garland carried Raul. It was lucky they had found food and some more survivors. Spencer stopped for a while and frowned.

"What's up?" Eddie asked and looked at him.

"I heard something…listen."

All the boys went quiet and could hear a faint snapping of twigs. Garland looked around and saw a figure stop by a tree. When he strained his eyes to see who it was, he gasped.

"Brooklyn!"

Ok the explanation for Wolborg. Well, in the Manga Wolborg was suppose to be the "king" of siberia that Boris captured. Also Wolborg is considered one of the most powerful sacred spirits like it's an original one, not a fake one. Kai even calls it "The Silver Wolf" like how the 4 main bit-beasts have a title focusing on the species and the color "The Red Phoenix" "The Black Turtle" "The White Tiger" "The Blue Dragon." And why did I make Wolborg a girl? In G-revolution there is a woman in white who appears before Wolborg does during the Novea Rog attack so I figured Wolborg might actually be a female beast. As for the name Shiva, the woman in white who appears was nicknamed Shiva by fans because of her similar appearance to Shiva of Final Fantasy 10, so I thought it'd be nice to just incorporate some of the fandom into this fic.

I REALLY hope you enjoyed this chapter!
