Chapter 9- Bloody Battles
Irina and Jack had arrived and were discussing the successfulness of the sphere they weren't even aware of the Sloane's body on the ground.
"Well we need to hurry." Lauren said impatiently. "The CIA could be here any-" Lauren began to end when she heard footsteps on the cave floor. Sark cursed under his breath.
"Great." He muttered. Sydney and Vaughn came around the corner.
"If it isn't agent Vaughn and Bristow." Sark drawled.
"Oh, and you brought the gang." Lauren said smirking.
"Enough! Where's the sphere." Sydney snapped.
"You don't actually expect an answer to that, do you? I would have thought that was painfully obvious." Sark stated looking around. " And where might I add, is your little possy?"
"You might as well stop with the sarcasm Sark." Sydney said through clenched teeth.
"Are you threatening me?" Sark asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know what I said." Sydney relied icily. Lauren smirked.
"Well guess you won't live long enough to find out where the sphere is." she said and threw a punch at Sydney's stomach.
"You wish," Sydney said landing a right hook to Lauren's jaw.
"Ladies, Ladies." Sark cooed. They both turned and gave him a dirty glare.
"Shut up Sark." Sydney replied harshly.
"Ooo, touchy today are we agent Bristow?" He asked in a mocking voice.
Before Sydney could respond Vaughn grabbed Sark's neck attempting to strangle him, "Tell us where the sphere is?"
"Bloody-" Sark began and shoved Vaughn off him.
"You are starting to piss me off, you British-" Vaughn started.
"Boys!" Both Sydney and Lauren snapped together, then turned to look at each other. "So much for calm, collected blackmailing. I'll just have to kick your butt."
"Oh you're dead." Vaughn said as he got a punch to the stomach by Sark.
"You really don't want to kill us, because we know where the sphere is and you don't."
"Shut up!" Vaughn and Sydney said in unison.
Nadia, Weiss, and Dixon looked at each other. "We should look for the sphere. If I'm not mistaken, the machine is a digging one." Dixon said eyeing the machine.
"Not so fast." A female voice said. As Dixon, Nadia, and Weiss walked around the edge of the digging machine Irina stepped out and confronted them. She pointed a gun at Weiss.
"Anyone takes one step toward that machine and he dies." Irina said. Nadia's face turned ashen.
"Mom don't." she said softly.
"I mean it!" Irina shouted.
Meanwhile Sydney and Lauren were beating the crap out of each other as were Sark and Vaughn.
"Your pitiful!" Sydney retorted to something Lauren said.
"Oh and I suppose you aren't." Lauren grunted as she received a kick in the side.
"Mom don't do this." Nadia begged, "You're better then this."
"Then don't take one more step toward this machine." Irina stated. Weiss made a not so smart attempt to get closer to the machine. Irina scowled and grabbed him by the safety vest he wore and threw him to the ground a few feet away from the machine. She put her gun to his temple. Weiss could feel the cold metal pushing on his head. Nadia narrowed her eyes at her mother and threw herself at her. Anna and Will watched the scene play out and made the move to get the sphere, which ended up being very successful. Both Anna and Will bolted out of the cave as fast as their legs could carry them.
Meanwhile everyone was still fighting over the sphere, which no one noticed was gone until Jack got a puzzled look on his face when he came back around the machine.
"um Irina?" he asked.
"What!" she snapped.
"Do you have the sphere?"
"No! I thought you had it!" Irina exclaimed angrily. Jack shook his head.
"That better be a lie." Irina said with fire in her eyes.
"Irina, I swear I don't have it." Jack replied.
"I'm going to kill you!" she yelled.
Sydney picked up a shovel and smacked Lauren with it making her tumble to the ground but Lauren was not going to have it and tripped Sydney with her leg. She grabbed the shovel and pinned Sydney down with the shovel at her throat.
"Don't make me kill you." Lauren said smiling devilishly.
"No that's for me to do to you!" Sydney yelled and smashed her head into Laurens. The blonde groaned in pain.
"Tell me where the sphere is!" Vaughn yelled as he punched Sark in the stomach.
"Absolutely not." Sark replied smirking. Weiss's voice could be heard over the com in Vaughn's ear.
"Mike Irina's pulled a gun on Jack."
"She what?" Vaughn asked.
"She-" Weiss started and Nadia finished.
"She's going insane on Jack, stop fighting with Sark and Lauren and just get over here now." Nadia said hastily.
Moments later Sydney, Vaughn, Lauren, and Sark were surrounding Irina and Jack.
"Mom please." Sydney said with sigh.
"He's lost the sphere and now we have nothing!" she snapped.
"What?" Lauren said in a panic. "I bet the CIA has it."
"I bet you guys have it." Vaughn snapped. "I thought you knew where it was Lauren or are you just Sloane's little lap dog."
"Oh shut your mouth!" Lauren sneered.
"Guys!" Weiss said. "I have something to tell you."
"Well!" Lauren said in impatiently.
"Anna and Tippin stole the sphere." Weiss said. Sydney's face turned ashen.
"Will…" she managed to get out.
