Last time on A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present….
/Mistress must understand! I have tried many times, but you have been ignoring me! You already know that Vitiosus is after you...Your parents were killed for a reason. They were scientists at that Lab in Vitiosus Amber! A long time ago they accidentally invented something...a bitbeast...a clone of two bitbeasts...your brother carries that clone.../ Kryptonite responded.
/...I've known you practically my whole life...once again...why didn't you tell me before/ I asked.
/ You weren't ready...your not even ready now...but as I said something will happen.../she responded. I wanted to ask her more questions but the connection was broken.
The elevator door opened and I stepped in, my thoughts roaming around my bitbeasts words.
I pressed the button for the 16th floor and leaned against one of the corners, momentarily forgetting about my team.
I heard others enter the elevator but I ignored them as I continued to look down. I suddenly felt the elevator stop with a jolt. I looked up and saw my team looking at me, all of them had different expressions...some with confusion, anger, and uncertainty.
"No more lies" Rei spoke out after a moment of silence. "No more lies" I responded wanting to just get it over with.
A Dark Past, A Hopeful Present
Chapter 17 – A Dark Past (Part I)
Amber's Parent's past –
(A/N---- She only knew her parent's were scientists and this flashback is for you to understand the past, Amber does get to see some of the past that occurs since her bit beast has been revealing it…)
The sound of a constant beep could be heard throughout the room, men and women in white cloaks walked through the room observing the tanks that currently contained balls of energy.
A woman with long shinning black hair and amazing aqua eyes, sat in front of a computer, her brows creased in concentration as she looked at the information being displayed.
She jolted with a start when a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder softly; she turned around to see a man with short dark brown hair with traces of red and emerald eyes.
"How are things coming along?" the man asked as he leaned forward looking at the information on the screen, his hand slightly gliding over hers as he took the mouse.
Her heard her let out a sigh, and a chuckle escaped his throat. He glanced back at her to notice her glare, he backed away slowly and she couldn't hold in her laugh.
"It seems no matter how hard I'm trying things aren't working, Felipe, I know I'm getting there…I'm just missing something" the woman said after releasing another sigh.
"Don't worry Celia, we are very close" Felipe replied to the tired woman.
"It's getting late, we should go home…I hope the kids are doing okay with Elena" Celia said as she organized the desk.
"I'm sure they are doing fine" Felipe said as he began walking away towards his station.
Celia was about to turn off the computer when a fellow worker was passing by and tripped bumping into her, causing her to shift her weight towards her hands, which were placed on the keyboard.
After a quick apology, the scientist walked off to his original destination. Celia looked on the screen noticing different codes appearing on the screen, she began to panic, when the codes didn't disappear.
"Oh my! My work! What's happening?" she said with distraught as she tried hitting different keys.
Suddenly the screen went blank…Celia could feel her heart stop, 'What will my boss say?' she thought franticly.
She took a seat and laid her head in her hands, her hair framing her face. She looked up when she noticed her hair being illuminated by the screen light. She looked back at the screen with hopeful eyes.
On the screen several forms of DNA twirled about in the program, she held her breathe as she looked at the information more closely. 'Is this…' she thought but jolted again when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Must you keep doing that" she grumbled, dragging her eyes away from the screen, but all she received was a shrug.
"Are you ready to go, you can't keep the babysitter waiting" Felipe said as he began to get her things ready for her, when he saw that she wasn't moving, he gave her a questioning look.
"I think…I don't know how…but, I think I got it…" she said barely above a whisper.
She saw her husband's eyes widen slightly in both happiness and horror. He closed his eyes and sighed before returning back to his original task. "It can wait till tomorrow, we can discuss this more at home, save the program and we will see it at home" he said in a whisper.
"But Felipe… we aren't supposed to take information ho-"she started but was silenced with her husbands glare, she sighed for was seemed like the umpteenth time that day; and did what he said.
The married couple walked in silence throughout the plain corridor, sometimes bidding there greetings towards fellow co-workers.
Celia let out another sigh when they got into the car, Felipe glanced at her knowing she was about to 'speak her mind' he rolled his eyes and waited for his wife's oncoming rant.
"We shouldn't have done that…I know you know that!" she said her voice somewhat rigid.
"Celia…This is not a joke…this job is not a joke. We are being blackmailed! Finding the answers will free us…or will it? What is this special project really about hmm? What will happen if t-this 'thing' is unleashed" he said his voice rising.
He looked over and noticed his wife's fist clench, a sudden feeling of guilt erupted inside of him.
"Celia look I'm so-"he started but was silenced by his wife.
"I know Felipe…I am also scared…But you know as well as I do we will not get away, they will want us 'finished' for knowing too much." She said sadness laced in her voice.
Both remained quiet for the rest of the journey, as they pulled up the drive way they saw a young woman sitting on the steps of their house looking at the sky, a bag by her side. She had brown hair with blonde streaks and hazel eyes. She smiled a tired smile as she saw the car drive up the drive way.
"Hello" The couple greeted the babysitter, Celia giving her a hug, while Felipe nodded his greeting.
"How were they Elena?" Celia asked. "They were good as usual, Mark was teaching Amber how to blade" Elena said with a smile.
Felipe nodded his head in pride and bid her a goodnight before entering the house.
He flipped his shoes off, and threw his jacket on the hook, placing his briefcase on the kitchen table. He made his way quietly upstairs, his face scrunching up in frustration as the stairs creaked.
He opened the door to his kid's shared bedroom and rolled his eyes as he heard another creak. His eyes softened as he saw his kid's sleeping peacefully. He gave them a light kiss on the forehead and turned to leave only to jump slightly when he saw his wife leaning against the door frame.
"It's about time I startle you" she whispered, chuckling when her husband gave her a playful glare. Both took a final look at their kids before closing the door of there room.
They walked downstairs towards the living room but stopped dead in there tracks when they saw a figure sitting on one of the sofa's. The figure got up his features illuminating in the light that shone from the room next door.
"Markov" Celia mumbled out. "Nice house you have here" he said feigning an innocent look, while looking at Celia hungrily. Felipe saw what he was doing and stood in front of his wife "what do you want!" he demanded.
"Me? Hmm…Nothing really, just decided to pay a friendly visit to our 'favorite' scientists" he said sending Celia a suggestive wink.
Felipe glared at him, but turned his attention to the light thumps that were heard coming down from the stairs.
A young girl and a young boy rubbed there eyes from the light as they came downstairs, Celia quickly walked to there children mumbling words to them that the two men couldn't hear, and ushered them upstairs.
"So those are your kids eh?" he said a smirk appearing on his face.
"Don't you even think about it!" Felipe all but hissed as he stepped forward.
"Tut, tut, what a temper" Markov said the smirk still on his face. "Time's ticking old man, we need those bit beasts, you better start moving or else..." he continued harshly, letting his threat hang in the air as he glanced at the stairs from where his kids came from.
Felipe followed his eyes and glared at the spot he was looking that, he turned back and saw know one there. His fists automatically clenched as her shut the door and locked it, going around the house and making sure everything was closed, and the curtains were shut.
He walked towards the kitchen table and fetched his briefcase making sure the contents weren't touched. His shoulder's tensed as he felt his wife's hands wrap around his waist, her head cuddling his back.
He allowed a shaky sigh escape his lips, as his hands went over his wife's slightly squeezing them in assurance.
"Let's go to sleep" she mumbled, and walked to her room. Felipe followed after her, briefcase in hand.
"Okay so you lived in Portugal, with your parent's and your brother." Max said, and got a nod of confirmation from his female teammate.
"And your parent's were scientists?" Rei asked shifting slightly to get more comfortable on the small couch in the 'living room'.
After the elevator incident the bladebreakers had gone upstairs to Kai and Amber's room to finally find out about the truth.
"…Yeah…they seemed happy until that day where Markov came to our house…I had never seen my mom so nervous, I remember her hands shaking as she tucked me and my brother back to bed, but when I asked her she just responded that she was tired…" Amber replied quietly.
The rest of the bladebreakers remained quiet contemplating on the information that was given so far, but were interrupted from there thoughts when the brunette continued…
The next day at the laboratory
Celia fingered the necklace filled with an opal-like color, which was around her neck. 'I won't let them get to you' she thought before she tucked in her necklace inside her shirt. It was a family heirloom; it was given to her by her older brother who had passed away.
She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the noise of glass cracking; she quickly glanced behind her and saw the ball of energy move around the glass tank in a frenzy, "Endriagor" she said quietly.
She saw her husband run over, and press a couple of buttons, making the tank fill with a grey liquid.
She sighed as she returned to observing the information on the computer screen to see if there were any kinks in the plan.
The first stage of the plan was complete. Celia felt guilt rise from the pit of her stomach when she saw her son's bit beast split into two…one dark…and one light, both in separate tanks…she shook her head trying to forget her son's tears, a couple of days ago he claimed that a boy stole his bitbeast 'He must have had something to do with it'…
She clenched her fists when she thought of that vile 'creature' entering their home…'His greed will be the death of him' she thought angrily before starring at the third tank.
In there lay a dark force, an involuntary shiver ran down her spine just thinking of the destruction this bit beast could do.
"Is black Dranzer ready for the conjunction?" Felipe asked disrupting her from her thoughts.
"Hmm…I have a bad feeling about this" Celia answered quietly her eyes wandering over to the tank which contained the better half of Endriagor.
"Cel…I know you do, but we have to finish what we started" Felipe answered looking at his wife's hidden necklace that was slightly poking out of her shirt.
"Hide that well, hopefully she will help in the future!" Felipe continued, only to receive a nod from his wife.
Kryptonite's P.O.V
Nothing good will come of this…
/Endriagor…can you hear me/ I tried, hoping to get a reply.
/What do you want/ I heard a voice boom; I shivered at the malice in his voice. I could discreetly hear a voice crying for help in the back…'the better half of him' I thought sadly.
/You must resist the power that will connect with you/ I said loudly trying to reason with him, but the only reply I got was a dark chuckle. I quickly broke the connection… 'It's no use' I thought wearily.
Once Black Dranzer, connects with Endriagor Preto (black), Endriagor Branco (white) will be pushed into the corner… hopefully he will not die…
'I can't do anything inside a necklace' I thought in frustration.
I was interrupted from my thoughts when a felt a large force of darkness increase. 'No' I screamed shaking with fear as the darkness continued to increase.
End of Kryptonite's P.O.V
Felipe shielded his wife his back facing the tank as a huge amount energy burst throughout the room. Felipe kept a strong hold of his wife when the force blew them away making them land several feet behind where they were.
He winced as shards of glass flew towards him slightly cut him, but he ignored the pain and looked at his wife, her eyes were clenched shut and she was shaking, "Are you alright?" he asked panic could be heard in his voice.
He received a nod, and he slightly tightened his hold on her before letting go. The sound of an alarm could be heard throughout the room but he paid no heed to it. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Markov looking at a beyblade, a crazy glint in his eyes.
"You've captured it" Felipe asked in a monotone voice, but the only response he got was a chuckle.
"Good work…Your fired" he said calmly before walking away with the beyblade clutched in his hand. Felipe's eyes followed him until he was out of sight. He glanced back and saw his wife looking at the three tanks.
"Celia?" he asked out quietly, but he got no response. He called to her again and got no reply. He walked toward her and laid his hand on her shoulder, which was shaking. 'If only there was a way to undo everything that has happened…' Felipe thought sadly before embracing his wife.
"What have we done" she whispered…
"Pure darkness…" Rei said quietly, once again taking in the important information.
"Most of these memories are coming from Kryptonite…my parent's were blackmailed by Markov of Vitiosus. Vitiosus is an organization much like the abbey that Kai was involved in. Markov would fly over to Portugal and visit the special lab they had there, my parent's were one of the best scientists Portugal had…They were great in the area of DNA…K-Kryptonite told me that she was supposed to be the other bitbeast used in the 'experiment', but they hid her…" Amber said quietly.
"That bit beast is still unstable…" Kai said quietly.
"Yes…a bit beast is only balanced when both the dark side and the light side work harmoniously…but in this case Endriagor Preto overrules Endriagor branco because of Black Dranzer. Since the darkness is so great…some of it will seep into the owner's mind" Amber replied.
"But was that really Black Dranzer, I thought the Balkov Abbey had it?" Max asked, squeezing the pillow he was holding slightly.
"No, it was a clone" Amber said lowering her head.
A boy with dark brown hair and aqua eyes was sitting in a tree, his head in between both of his hands.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard someone call out his name. He looked down only two see his two best friends which were twins, both had brown hair with natural highlights of blonde. The only way you could tell the difference between the two was there eye color; Carlos has light blue colored eyes, while his brother Luis has light green eyes.
He jumped down and greeted them. "What were you doing up there?" Carlos asked, while he bent down to tie his shoelace.
"Nothing" Mark answered as he shifted his gaze to the other kids who were blading, a sad look crossed his face but left as soon as it came.
"Oh yeah, Lydia and Amber are waiting for us. You know how your sister and girlfriend act when we're late" Luis said earning a punch on the shoulder from his friend.
"She's not my girlfriend" Mark muttered a slight blush arising on his face.
The three were walking silently, the twins shifted uncomfortably wondering if they're friend was alright.
"…Did you get your bit beast back?" Luis asked, only to receive a harsh nudge from his sibling, he glared back at him and turned his focus on Mark.
"No…not yet, but I will" Mark said quietly avoiding the looks they were sending him.
"Rodrigo had no right to steal your bit beast" Luis said angrily, before receiving another nudge from his brother, in which he responded with a glare of his own.
"Hmm" was Mark's only response. He was brought out of his thoughts when he saw someone familiar. 'The man from a couple of nights ago' he thought.
"Hello" A man said, he was muscular average sized man, with brown hair and bright green eyes, wearing a vest, that showed a V shaped crest on his left breast.
The kids stopped and looked at the man, curiosity and fear in there eyes. "I remember you, from that battle a couple of days ago…hmm…pity that boy stole your bit beast" the man said smoothly looking at Mark.
Mark lowered his head in shame, but only brought it back up when he heard a chuckle, anger lingered in his eyes, as he looked at this stranger.
"Don't worry…I'm not making fun of you. You fought hard…but I also found it unfair, so I took things into my own hand" the man said taking something out of his pocket. Mark looked at it curiously and picked it up, a sudden feeling overcame him but he shook it off.
"This is-" Mark started but was hushed by the mysterious man. "Have fun" the man said before walking off.
Mark and the twins looked at the blade that the man had given. "That's…"Luis started but was cut off by his brother. "What's wrong with it" Carlos said.
Mark shrugged and pocketed his blade, plastering a smile on his face he motioned for the other's to hurry. "Oh…don't tell my sister" Mark said when he caught site of his sister.
The other's just looked at him curiously but shrugged it off.
'I don't trust that guy…Mark shouldn't have accepted that blade' Carlos thought, but ignored it when he saw the girls with some not-so-nice expressions.
Unbeknownst to Mark, the darkness was beginning to seep into his mind…

And the ending flashback is what happened before … if you don't remember then here you go…
-------
Two girls around the age of 6 watched while three boys ran up to them. The first girl had black hair with red tips up till her shoulders and her eyes were a mix of brown and purple which were currently turning a light shade of red.
The girl beside her had blonde hair with natural highlights of brown and had hazelnut colored eyes. The first of the three boys had dark brown hair and had aqua colored eyes. The other two boys were twins and had brown hair with natural highlights of blonde.
"Your late" said the girl with black hair with red tips
"It's not our fault, someone was holding us up" said the boy with dark brown hair
"What happened" asked the second girl
"I don't know some weird man was just asking us questions" said the boy with dark brown hair.
"Well what are you guys waiting for" said the twins together while getting out their blades.
The rest of them ran off to an empty blading dish, except for the girl with black hair that had red tips. ' I wonder what that guy wanted to know' she thought, but was brought out her thoughts by her friends calling her over.
"Amber"
-------
Like I said in the beginning, most of the past if for you to see what has happened, Amber is only telling them what she remembers and what her bitbeast has told her…
