A/N: Hello again! This chapter was written by me, and the one before that was by Snapella. Thanks for those scry reviews... *cough Eminem cough* R&R please!

Disclaimer: Gem! Gem: They own Chance and Kristy.

Chance stood up as her cell door opened.

"Chance," purred Rinzler. Chance nodded to him. "I'm glad to see you're back at the games."

"Why is that?" snapped Chance sourly.

"Well no one fights quite like you," he said. The compliment caught Chance by surprise. Rinzler never complimented anyone, much less her. Heck, Rinzler hardly ever talked to anybody.

Chance followed Rinzler into the hallway. Walking down, she could feel the power pulsing throughout the floor causing her purple circuitry to waver. Chance stopped to enjoy it; pure sources were getting scarcer and scarcer.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Chance realized in Rinzler had been watching her.

"Fortunately, that is a luxury I can afford to live without." she said coldly. Rinzler shook his head and began walking again.

"How fortunate indeed."

"Hello, Gem." Gem smiled at Chance. By order of Clu, all participants in the game were to be checked by a siren, so here they were. Gem handed Chance her disc. Then Gem moved then quickly pushed a button on the wall. To her left, a door slid open to reveal the glass sections.

"Good luck," said Gem. Chance walked in to her familiar section. She turned and waved good bye to Gem, the only friendly siren she had ever met.

A few sections away, a girl was glaring at the taunting programs near her. She had brown hair and icy blue eyes. How unusual. Not many programs had brown hair. Chance figured she must be a rookie. Predictably, her circuitry was blue.

"Chance," said a voice. Chance turned to find a familiar face. It was Gibson!

"Gibson!" she said happily, "How were you caught?" Gibson grinned sheepishly.

"Recognizer." Chance sighed. Gem began announcing players. Chance glanced at her friend once last time. Soon, the glass sections started to rise and rotate, and she lost sight of his green circuits. After a while, Gem finally reach her final announcement.

"And the last… They're best, the undefeated, the players in your favorite, match… Chance and Rinnnzzlllerr!" Chance smirked as the cheers noticeably increased. Clu may not like her, but these programs sure did.

Chance walked out of her section as it stopped moving. In front her, Rinzler was already present. Rinzler pulled out his double discs, and Chance followed suit. She grinned at Rinzler.

The games disgusted Chance, the were sadistic. But… she might as well enjoy it well she was here. After all, she was undefeated.

Let the games begin.

Chance panted, Rinzler was pushing harder than usual. For the most part, Clu played Chance to win the favor of all the programs, which meant Rinzler had to use self-control. She lobbed her disc at Rinzler, only to have it swiftly returned.

Chance dodged yet another disc thrown by Rinzler, She spun to avoid it, and saw outside… the rookie! She had amazing reflexes, just who was this mysterious girl? For a moment, she totally forgot about Rinzler.

Big mistake.

One of Rinzler's disc slammed into the side of her head. Chance fell over, and everything seemed to slow down, and stay in slow motion. Everything blurred.

"Get away from her!" The program's exclamation echoed in her head. Who was this program?

'Get up,' said a voice.

'I don't want to,' complained Chance.

'She can't take on Rinzler. Not even the MCP could. Now get up!' It urged.

'But I hurt!' Chance countered. 'Who are you?'

"My name is Kristy, now please, I really need you to get up!" Chance's eyes snapped open at Kristy's order to get up. So that's what she did. She got up.
