Chaos: Finally! Took me forever to decide how to do this one. *sights in relief*

Tala: Aaw, everyone give her a round of applause.

Kai: Seriously, we don't want to end up in that cage again.

Tonya: Oh it won't be the cage again. *grins as she pulls a bag forward*

Chris: I pity anyone who has to go through that torture. *shudders as she looks at the bag*

Chaos: So any volunteers?

Boys: Chaos doesn't own beyblade or its characters. Just her OC's and temporarily Chris.

Chris: enjoy.

~*Breakthrough*~

"This is bullshit!"

Chris hollered as she punched a tree. Her fist left a huge dent and she was glad that no one had been around to see or hear her. Tonya sat silently seething as she listened to Chris scream out every cuss word she could think of. The brunette had to fight from digging her nails into her arms. Last thing she needed was to draw blood on herself.

"Who are they to decide how long we stay in this tournament? They have no right to do this to us." The albino hissed as she looked to her friend for answers.

"I know Chris. You think I'm not trying to find a way out of this myself?" Tonya spit on the ground as she replayed that morning's conversation.

Earlier that day

"You asked to see me Mr. Dickinson?" Tonya said politely, taking a seat across from him. He was mopping his head, trying to calm himself down.

"Yes, well I have some bad news." He could see no change in the girl, so he continued. "The BBA still needs your help for just a bit longer. With your recent growth in popularity, we're asking that you stay in the tournament for just a bit longer than our original agreement." He saw her eyes tighten a bit as she struggled to keep her voice calm.

"So you're saying you want us to play along for a bit longer, is that correct?" She raised an eyebrow as Mr. Dickinson nodded slowly. "Why?" She growled, her anger slowly leaking out.

"It's like I said—" The old mad stopped when he heard a low growl come from her.

"We had an agreement old man. We were only to make it to the Egyptian leg, complete it, and then we could disappear." She said slowly as her eyes turned to ice. Mr. Dickinson nodded slowly as he looked down at his desk, not wanting to meet her cold glare. "Why has that changed?"

"Some of the companies wishing to support the BBA will only help us if you girls do good. They said that if your team lasts a bit longer then it'll spark interest among others and bring fresh competition. When that happens, others from all around the world will help unite the BBA as a single unit again." He kept his eyes down, already feeling her eyes on his head. He heard her chair slide against the floor and looked up to see her leaving. "Where are you going?"

"To tell Chris we're pulling out. We're not puppets to be strung along for others. As far as I'm concerned our debt is repaid. We brought attention back to the BBA, as you wished. We don't have any reason to stick around anymore. Plus you never held out your end of the deal. So this deal is over." Tonya turned the knob and got ready to yank the door open.

"Wait!" Her hand lingered on the door knob as she turned her eyes back on him. "We did keep up our end of the deal as promised! We did manage to find information about your past." Her hand fell as shock rushed through her body. "As much as I argued for you girls, the rest of the board won't let me hand it over to you unless you complete these new terms of the agreement. I'm sorry. I didn't wish to do this to you girls." She could see that Mr. Dickinson was telling the truth and took a deep breath to keep her anger in check.

"I see. Tell the board then that we agree. But if they make one more extension, there will be hell to pay." The threat hung in the air as she opened the door and slammed it with all her force behind her.

Present time

"As soon as we get that information, I intend to make all of those on the board pay." Tonya hissed as she stood up.

"I still say we should just hack the system and steal the information." Chris huffed as watched Tonya shake her head.

"No. They'll be expecting that. The information will be paper documents locked up somewhere. For now we'll play along. But as soon as the deal's complete…" Her toothy grin was enough to send shivers down Chris's spine. She glanced at Chris's bleeding knuckles as her expression softened. "Go take care of your hand."

Chris looked down at her hand and shrugged. "It'll be fine. Come on, let's keep going." Tonya shook her head slowly as Chris stood there, a little confused.

"No. You need to rest, you haven't been sleeping well at all." Chris was about to argue until she saw the various bruises showing on Tonya's torso. "We have the by this time. Take the day off." Tonya turned and waved as she walked away.

"What are you going to do?" Chris called to her, but the brunette was already gone. Probably so Chris couldn't follow her.

The albino grumbled as she headed back to the room alone. She found the mini first aid kit that Tonya always kept in her bag and grabbed some gauze and tape. She rinsed off her knuckles and then gently wrapped her hand and taped the thin layer of gauze in place. Sighing, she looked around the quiet little room and spotted her glasses.

"Might as well go do something." She mumbled, grabbing her glasses off the little nightstand.

She headed out of the resort and jumped on an empty bus heading over to the stadium. As soon as she stepped in the doors, the roar of the crowd drowned out the silence that had been following her since she'd left Tonya that morning. She walked over to the top of the railing and looked down to see the BBA Revolution and Majestics going at each other. She fixed her sunglasses as she leaned against the railing to watch. She yawned, a mixture of boredom and no sleep. She was glad that her glasses were so dark. Last thing she needed was for any of them to know that she wasn't sleeping well. They'd see that as a weakness and Chris refused to let that happen. Behind her a group of guys were whispering to each other and staring in one direction. She turned to see the girl Adina walking by with a grin on her face. She growled as her fingers curled inward, causing her knuckles to start bleeding again. They probably belonged to one of the companies that were stringing them along like puppets.

'Mistress calm down before you over do it.' Daikairi said, trying to gain her attention. It worked. Chris looked down to see blood seeping through her bandages and relaxed her hand. She could feel a slight throbbing sensation and pushed it out of her mind.

'Thanks. I probably would've broken my knuckle if you hadn't said something.' She felt a warming presence fall over her and Chris just smiled.

"You know you're supposed to take those off when you walk inside." An annoyingly familiar voice said. Chris rolled her eyes as she leaned on to her arms.

"What do you want Hiwatari?" Chris tried to say coldly. But with her lack of sleep, it didn't come out like she intended.

"I saw your last battle. I know you were holding out during our match in Brazil." She glanced up to see him staring down at the dish where the next match was taking place.

"I could say the same for you." She yawned again as she stood up. Four nights of no sleep was catching up with her. "So get to the point."

"Fine, I want a rematch." Kai glanced down at her and Chris just yawned. "I want to see which of our phoenixes is stronger."

"Pass. I've got better things to worry about than giving you a rematch. Besides you'd just lose." She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Kai's lip twitch a little in annoyance. "Now don't you have someone else you have to annoy or a match to get ready for?"

"We don't battle till tomorrow. And I currently have no idea where those idiots for teammates of mine went." Kai rolled his eyes and Chris fought a smile. "If you think I'm going to give up that easy you're wrong. I want that rematch." Kai looked down at Chris who straightened up and flashed a smirk at him.

"Well then I guess you'll have to wait till we face each other in the dish now won't you?" She turned and waved behind her as she headed towards the exit.

"Going somewhere?" Kai asked, easily catching up to her. Chris had to give it to the boy, he was persistent.

"Away from here. This tournament bores me." She walked outside where the cheers of the crowd were muted.

Before Kai had a chance to reply, a loud crashing sound distracted him. Both of them turned to look up at the mountains to see part of it falling and crashing. Another crash sounded and it didn't take Chris long to realize that the crash wasn't too far from where she and Tonya had been training that morning. Without a word Chris took off, leaving Kai standing there confused.

'Master?' A familiar feminine voice sounded. 'Are you going to let her go alone?'

'It's not our business Dranzer.' Kai responded as he turned around, wanting to head back to the stadium.

'I'm sorry Kai but I have to object. I feel as if something is wrong and that they may need our help.' Dranzer pleaded with her master. Kai growled as he slowly turned around and began sprinting after Chris who was almost out of sight.

'You better explain yourself later.' Kai hissed mentally as he pushed himself to catch up to the girl.

Earlier

It wasn't long before Tonya was sprinting through the trees away from Chris. She needed to be alone to think things through. When she was sure she was far enough away, Tonya stopped and sat down. Nearby she could hear water flowing from a creek. Birds were singing in the air and a light breeze weaved through the trees and bamboo. She hopped up into a tree, out of sight and relaxed herself.

"There has to be a way around all of this. I refuse to let those bastards keep us here against our will. Especially since we've held up our end of the deal without a fuss while they keep changing things on us. We have our own agenda to keep and we can't afford to waste any more time here. The trail is growing cold and every day that passes, more information about our past is lost. I can't even remember the name that was said in my dream because of this damn tournament." Tonya hissed as she fought the urge to hit the tree.

"Someone sounds a little cranky." A male voice sounded from within the trees.

Tonya heard the whizzing of a blade heading for her and reacted on instinct, allowing her body to fall and twist gracefully in the air. She landed with ease on her feet and ducked out of the way of the falling branch as her eyes searched for whoever had attacked her. She saw a deep red blade return to a shadowed figure who stepped into the light. Craig stood there with a slight grin on his face as he watched Tonya slowly stand up, taking up a slight defensive stance in case he attacked again. Her eyes turned cold and Craig raised his hand, palms up, in peace.

"What do you want?" Tonya snapped as Craig slowly lowered his hands.

"To help you." His grinned widened as he watched the slender girl raise a questioning eyebrow. "Let's just say we have a lot in common."

Within a second Craig whipped out his blade and launcher. Tonya reacted just in time and launched her blade at the same time that he did. The two blades collided hard and broke apart quickly. Craig began to sprint through the forest and Tonya wasn't about to let him get away after trying to attack her. She was amazed at how he was able to move through the trees with ease. It didn't take them long to reach the cliffs as their blades immediately dove towards each other. The two blades split apart again and crashed into the cliff. Rocks began to fall and both bladers began to jump on them to get the height advantage on the other. Craig's blade dove towards Tonya's again, this time with Craig following. Tonya blocked his first attack, but was hit by his kick and was knocked into the cliff side. Her blade crashed into the cliff again and slowly began to fall with its blader. Craig dove down, intending to finish it off, but was surprised when Tonya twisted her body and kicked him hard in his side. He barely avoided slamming into the ground and waited on the ground as Tonya landed, keeping her eyes on him.

"Just as the rumors claim, a deadly darkness blader that can't be matched by any other." Craig wiped the blood off of his lip and then spit it out. "I could tell you were holding out on me."

"I could say the same for you." She didn't take her eyes off of him as he began to pace. "Now what did you mean earlier and why did you attack me?"

"What I meant was that we're both darkness bladers. And from personal experience, I know that many do not enjoy our kind. I also know that those corporate bastards are playing you like a puppet." He stopped pacing and locked eyes with Tonya. Her eyes tightened a bit as she wondered how he knew that. "Thanks to that idiot Brooklyn, people look upon us as if we're monsters. They string us along and the only reason they haven't turned on you yet is because they have something you want."

"And how do you know this?" She fought to keep her face composed. Last thing she needed was for this guy to have leverage on her as well.

"I have my sources." He shrugged his shoulders. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small USB. "As for why I attacked you I had to be sure you were really worth this information I happened to find. I think you may have a better use for it than I will."

Tonya caught it with ease as she kept her eyes on him. Craig just smiled as he took off without a word. Only a minute had passed before her sensitive ears picked up the sound of someone running. She glanced to where Chris appeared out of the trees. The albino ran to her side, looking over her friend. Her eyes fell on her mouth where a thin line of blood trickled down the side of her chn. Tonya wiped her mouth with her hand as she hid the USB. Kai popped out of the trees not too long after Chris, searching around for any danger. Tonya raised an eyebrow at Chris who just looked behind her.

"You're slipping." Tonya smiled as Chris rolled her eyes. Kai walked over to the two girls, wondering what he'd missed.

"Why did you follow me?" Chris snapped at Kai who stopped short from the two.

"Well I figured you might need help but apparently not." Kai snapped back. The two glared at each other and it wasn't until Tonya cleared her voice that the two broke their glares off.

"Thanks anyways Kai. We better head back before anyone begins to miss us." Tonya said, taking the lead.

Chris noticed a certain edge to Tonya as she walked faster than normal back to the resort. She held her tongue, not wanting to say anything in front of Kai. Time passed quickly as they walked through the forest. Before long they were back at the resort and the girls didn't say a word as they headed back to their room on the opposite side of the resort. Kai watched as they disappeared down the hall. He just shook his head as he headed back to his own room.

Later

Tonya glanced over to her sleeping friend as she waited for the borrowed laptop to load. She looked at the USB in her hand and sighed as she plugged it in to the computer. As her eyes scanned over the various files, she began to get lost in her thoughts.

'So far there's nothing of use. Just old files that I've already seen. Why did that boy think this would help? Wouldn't surprise me if this was some kind of trick that those fuckers put him up to.' She rolled her eyes as she began to open random files, barely glancing at them.

"Hello." She whispered as her eyes fell upon one. "Project B. Let's just find out what that is shall we?"

Project B: Entry 21

So far no subjects have reacted positively to the tests. Many have already been lost and still more are dying. The DNA is still imperfect and unable to bond with any of the subjects. Subjects are starting to diminish. More will have to be found soon. Another harvest is in order to replenish the subjects. An area has already been picked and harvesting will begin shortly. Hopefully we will have perfected the DNA code by the time the new subjects arrive. Some of the scientists are becoming doubtful. I am sure this will work. That fool Boris has his way of creating a perfect soldier and I have mine. I will prove that once and for all that I was right.

"That's it?" Tonya scanned over the other files just to be sure she didn't miss anything related to the file. "What exactly is this Project B? Maybe this was the clue that Craig was trying to give me. And that name, Boris, was the same one that was in my dream. Well, things just got a whole lot more interesting." She smiled as she unplugged the USB and shut down the computer, a plan already forming in her head.

Ok sorry about the wait. Between the end of school and my job it's getting harder to find free time to write. Anyways a little introduction as to what you may see in the future and I figured I'd give everyone a little taste of what the girls are looking for. That's all for now and I'll get started on the next one.
