Fugue
Nakoruru: Alright, we're getting back on track. I'd like to thank everyone for their reviews. And thanks Holyfree, I'm glad you like it and the story shall continue!
Kai (smirking): Without Tala?
Nakoruru (nodding): Yep.
Tala (glaring): Is that so?
Nakoruru (grinning nervously): OH. . .no! I would never continue without you! I love you so much! (kisses him on the cheek) Let's get this story started. This chapter may be a bit short, but it's only the fault of how I outlined it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bladebreakers looked up at the large corporation building that seemed to loom over them. Tyson let out a long whistle as he and the others stood outside of the building. They had taken a bus to reach the corporation. On the way, Dizzi had told them that Landstren Corporation has many businesses that stretched over several parts of the world. One of their main operations was in America. Upon closer investigation, they found that Mr. Landstren had recently returned to Japan from a business trip to Southeast Asia.
"Some building. Wonder what they use it for, besides to steal other bladers' bit beasts," Tyson wondered.
"We're about to find out," Kai said.
"And how do you propose we do that? Are we going to walk up and ask to see all the stole bit beasts? They would never let us in," remarked Tyson.
"We don't intend on asking. I'm sure that Chief and Dizzi can shut down security somehow, right?" Kai looked over to where Kenny stood his laptop under one arm.
"We can get you in, but you'll have to be careful about not being caught," Kenny said. "I'm sure a place like this has guards and stuff. So be careful." The others nodded, as Kenny sat down. Within moments, Kenny had managed to hack into the corporation's security system, and pull up a map. "Okay, it seems like there's nothing on the first three floor, the other floors have security on them. The fourth, fifth, and sixth floor are where they do some sort of testing. The rest of the floors are unauthorized. If you go in the first floor, there's a shaft that you can use to get past the guards, but be careful. They have cameras set up. There are some alarms, but not many until you reach the other floors. I can knock the systems down for ten minutes, but that's all."
"Ten minutes is enough time to get in there and find out what we need," Tyson grinned. "After all, we are the Bladebreakers. We're the world champions, there's nothing we can't do."
"I hope you're right about that."

"Hn." Cody turned to Mr. Landstren with green eyes tinged with red.
"What is it, Cody?" Mr. Landstren said.
"We have visitors, sir. Bladebreakers to be exact. They are making plans to shut down the system and enter the building up to the upper floors. What do you want us to do about them?" Cody, under the control of the berserker system turned to his master.
For a moment Mr. Landstren looked at the male, then a slow smirk rose to his lips. "Go tell the others to be ready, and tell the guards to not pay no attention to our guests. I shall personal see to them. And make sure that you bring Sakura along with you, the final stage is soon to be set."
"Yes sir."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Guys, is it just me, or is this place a little bit too quiet. I mean we've only seen one or two guards since we got up to the upper levels. It's like they're avoiding us," Ray said, walking silently behind Kai.
"They are avoiding us," Kai said.
"You think they know we're here?" Max asked.
"The bladers we are taking on are psychics. I'm sure that one of them is able to sense us or something like that. We're on their turf, so they must want us to look around, otherwise we would have been found by now," Kai said as he rounded another corner and didn't find a guard. They even got the nerve to use the elevator to get to the next level.
While they were exploring the lower levels, they found strange of testing going on. Many of the needles that the scientists were injecting into the lab mice had strange looking fluids in them. Some of the mice died as a result of whatever they had been injected, while some seemed to go catatonic. In some of the other rooms, the scientists were also testing rabbits, dogs, and monkeys. Some of the same results happened to the animals, as with the mice.
The Bladebreakers reached the ninth level of the building, within the next three minutes. The doors opened and everything was silent, as if everyone had disappeared. The boys stepped out of the elevator, and walked down the hallway. Their footsteps echoed as they looked around.
"Dudes, this is really creepy. There are no people on the upper levels like the bottom ones. This must be the place where they keep all the secret stuff at," Tyson said.
"That is correct, Bladebreaker," said a deep male's voice. The boys looked up to find the man from the picture, Mr. Landstren, looked at them from a small ways down the hall. A cold smile greeted them. "Welcome to my corporation, I'm Mr. Landstren. And I'm surprised you found out who we were. I'm impressed."
"What do you want with us!" shouted Tyson.
The man shook his head. "Now, now, you have nothing to worry about. I just thought that I could show you around. After all, I'm sure that you want to know what I intend to do with all those bit beasts I had my group steal. Come, and I'll show you where they are." The man turned around, preparing to walk.
"How can we trust you! You want to steal our bit beasts also," retorted Ray.
The man turned his head slightly, looking back at them. "I can assure you, when I want your bit beasts, I will take them when I feel." Then he begun walking away from them.
"Should we trust this psycho?" Max inquired.
"I don't know," Ray said.
"I think we should follow him and find out what he's up to," Kai said. The other three Bladebreakers looked at their leader. He stared at where Mr. Landstren had turned a corner. "He's right, if he wanted our bits, he would just take them instead of treating us like guests. I'm going." Kai started to walk after him, with a reluctant Tyson, Max, and Ray behind him.
"But, Kai, what if. . ." Max started. "What if it's a trap?"
"Why would he trap us like that when he's had plenty of time while we wandered around this far," Kai replied, rounding the corner to find the male waiting for them. Mr. Landstren walked into a room, and Kai followed, with his teammates close behind. The room was dark for a moment, and then the lights sprang on. Inside the room, in strange containers were the captured bit beasts.
"How do you like my collection? Aren't they magnificent? I had my group still only the most powerful bit beasts. The others will come tonight," Mr. Landstren said.
"What do you plan to do with all these bit beasts? What are your plans?" shouted Tyson.
"Biovolt tried to use bit beast to take over the world, but that plan did not succeed. I plan to use the essence of the animal spirits that bit beasts are made of. You see tonight is the perfect night to bring about the destruction of this world. Once again, like thousands of years before, the saint beasts shall rise up to decide humanity's fate. Only this time, I shall control them and I shall the world in the way I want it."
"You're crazy, we won't allow you to," Kai growled. Mr. Landstren gave the two toned boy a smug look.
"I didn't ask for your permission, boy." Before Kai could sense anything, someone was behind him. Mr. Landstren's eyes flickered to the figure behind Kai and the other boys. "Ah, so now the stage can be set."

Nakoruru: Ah, more cliffhangers.
Tala (leaning back in a chair): Um, you might want to run.
Nakoruru (looks at him): Why?
Kai (notices and smiles): Wow.
Nakoruru: What? What is it?
(The two boys point at something and unfortunately Nakoruru is pellet with books at all the angry readers who know she is putting in all these cliffhangers on purpose. Afterwards, the angry people leave.)
Nakoruru (twitching): Okay. . .I'm sorry. . .things will be better in the next chapter. (passes out)
Kai (smirks): Well, until we all meet again.
