Chaos: First off I'd like to say thanks again for all the reviews and to those who've been keeping up with the story! Been awhile since I last updated. But I'll tell you more about that later. For now I'm giving the others a break so I'll do the disclaimer. I don't own Beyblade or its characters just my OC's and temporarily Chris.

~*No Turning Back*~

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Guys open up! You need to see this!" Bryan hollered, pounding on the door to Tala and Kai's room again. Kai opened the door and stepped aside as Bryan and Spencer pushed their way in.

"What the hell is going on?" Tala griped as he sat up in his bed. He'd been relaxing before they headed to watch the first day of the Russian leg of the tournament. Bryan said nothing as he grabbed the remote and turned the TV on to the news.

"Just watch." Spencer's deep voice commanded as all boys turned their attention to the TV.

"In other news, the police still have no new leads in the recent breaking and entering case. A few days ago police officers rushed out to a house on the outskirts of town in response to a house alarm that was triggered. The officers made it to the house around at about 4: 10 a.m., only five minutes after the alarm had been triggered. Police found the house perfectly untouched, except for one upstairs room that had been torn apart. The owner of the house, Boris Balkov, was found lying on the ground unconscious. The man was beaten pretty severely, but nothing life threatening. As many remember Boris had been involved….." Bryan turned the volume down low. He turned around to smile at his teammates.

"About time someone gave that man what he deserved." Spencer growled as he looked away from the TV.

"Especially since he was let off easy for the whole BEGA incident." Bryan added. Tala tensed up slightly at the mention of BEGA. He wasn't too fond about remembering what Garland had done to him. Even though he'd beaten him, Tala would rather not think back to when he was in a coma.

"Hurry up and get ready. We leave in five minutes." Tala ordered as he turned his back on the conversation.

At the stadium

"With that final victory by Robert, the Majestics take the win over White Tiger X!" The crowd roared as Robert shook hands with Ray before exiting the dish. "Next up is F-Dynasty taking on the BBA Revolution!"

Up top, the rest of the teams sat watching the matches for the day. Half would be played in the first day and the rest finished up tomorrow. So far two matches had been decided and only one was left before they gave the teams their break. The Blitzkrieg Boys sat among the fans, watching the battles with mild interest. They didn't blade till tomorrow and weren't too worried about who they were facing. While the three sat calmly watching the battle, Kai was lost in his thoughts. The image of Boris on a stretcher kept flashing in his head.

'Something just doesn't feel right. Despite his age, Boris shouldn't have been taken down that easily. The man is a conniving sneak who always has some type of underhanded trick up his sleeve. So how did someone get the jump on him? And the fact that there was nothing indicating who'd done that is even weirder. There was no tracks from anything in the snow and why trash only the one room? This isn't adding up.'

"You're thinking about what happened as well?" Kai glanced out of the corner of his eye to see Tala facing forward, pretending to watch the match. But he was too tense to fool his team.

"It just doesn't make sense. Why now? I mean the world championships come to Moscow and out of nowhere Boris is attacked." Kai glanced down, still trying to figure out what it could mean.

"Wait, I don't know if it means anything but I remember Tonya saying something back in Egypt." Tala's eyes widened slightly as he thought back to that conversation that seemed like it was years ago. "She said 'we have more in common' than I know. I wonder if she was referring to something else when she said that."

"So let me get this straight. You think those girls could be related to what happened to Boris?" Bryan asked, finally giving up on trying to ignore them.

"It's a possibility." Kai nodded in agreement with Bryan's assumption.

"We might as well check into it. You two will never let it drop if we don't." Spencer sighed as he pushed himself out of his seat. The other three followed behind the oldest teen's lead out of the stadium and on to the streets. No time like the present after all.

_._._

"Ugh! Fuck I thought I told you to not get the nasty ass drinks! And what's up with this shitty food? Take it back and get me something else!" Boris shouted at the nurse who hurried out of his room. He grumbled as he began flipping through channels on the TV.

"Hey! You can't go in there!"

Boris heard a shuffling noise outside his room and then the sound of equipment crashing on the floor. He grumbled, getting himself ready to yell at another cop that had come to bother him no doubt. But the two figures that entered his room were very familiar faces. Tala and Kai spoke quickly to Bryan and Spencer, telling them to guard the door and not let anyone in. The older boys nodded and shot a glare at Boris before closing the door behind them. The old man was a bit surprised to see two of his old students there.

"What do you two want?" Boris griped, knowing that he was in no position to really do any good. He knew that if the two wished, they could deal him even more damage.

"We just came to check up on one of our favorite people." Kai smarted off as he narrowed his eyes.

"Wanted to make sure you were making a full recovery." Tala added while he glanced over Boris's broken frame.

"Cut the bullshit." Boris snapped at the boys who just stood there silently. "If you've come to gloat or do more damage then get it over with. I taught you two to finish off your opponents quickly now put that knowledge to good use."

"You also taught us that if we hold a position of power, it was ok to toy with our opponent to an extent." Tala smirked as he almost considered taking Boris up on his offer.

"Not now Tala." Kai warned as he placed a hand on the wolf. Tala nodded, just barely restraining himself from attacking the weakened man before him. It took all Kai had to not do the same as he stared at the broken, vulnerable man. "We came for answers."

Boris arched an eyebrow in confusion. It wasn't what he'd expected when he'd seen them. He looked to Tala who had the look of one who was desperately seeking an answer. He sighed as he looked away from them. Boris turned up the TV and then looked back at the boys.

"What do you want to know?" Neither could hide the shock on their faces as Boris said those words. "Don't be so surprised. I know when I'm outnumbered and that you two could easily beat it out of me. I won't ask again." He wasn't too happy admitting this out loud, but he was in no mood to add more injuries to the ones he already has.

"Fine then. Who did this to you?" Kai asked with a level tone.

"I won't even tell the cops, what makes you think I'll—" He caught himself before he could continue. "Grr…it was two girls. The same two that had been in the world championships with you." He grudgingly spat out.

"Why did they attack you?" Tala asked before he could get caught in his thoughts. He knew he had to get some answers before he could begin to ask what their beef was with Boris.

"Information as far as I know. You know you could take a lesson from those two. Perfect execution, ruthless punishment, and unattached. Now I know why he picked them." Even though he was in pain, Boris couldn't help but admire them.

"What information did they want? And what's your connection with them?" Kai asked, unable to quite believe that the two girls could do that much damage to someone.

"The information they sought was about a project from over twelve years ago. Project 'Beast', better known as Project B. For a short time it was funded by Voltaire, stationed in a different part of the world. One of BIOVOLTS top scientists believed he could combine bitbeast and human DNA to create something entirely new. He had his way of creating a super soldier and I had mine. You could call it a rivalry between us." He shrugged as he continued. "He'd managed to create synthetic beast DNA from two supposedly powerful bitbeasts that had been locked away in two very remote and dangerous locations. The idea was that once a subject was injected with the DNA, the spirit was supposed to be attracted to the body. It would fuse with that person's body, mind, and spirit, creating a whole new type of being. Of course that was just a theory. A year passed and no results were reproduced. People began to grow suspicious with so many kids disappearing from all over the world. Voltaire deemed it too risky and pulled the plug. But that didn't stop him. He kept his research going and after a few months, he finally made a breakthrough. Two subjects, five year old girls, managed to survive the splicing process. I was there to witness it myself."

"Who is this 'he' you keep referring to?" Tala was a little annoyed at not knowing the mystery man's name.

"Aio was his name. You should remember him Tala, you were only with me when we went to see him about four years later." Boris looked at the red head who just stood there numbly. Flashes of a young nine year old girl flashed through his mind and he without a doubt knew that it was a younger Tonya. "She, along with that other girl, was the only one to survive that splicing at such a young age. It surprised me that the two had managed to live. Aio gloated about his super soldiers and planned on making more without the help of BIOVOLT. We knew it was only a matter of time before we began to battle for power. And we knew that we would lose if we didn't do something quickly." Boris trailed off into silence as he thought back to the army he once tried to raise when BIOVOLT had still been alive. And once again when BEGA rose to power.

"What happened to the girls?" Kai practically whispered. He, like Tala, refused to believe that it was Tonya and Chris.

"When BIOVOLT fell, we saw the perfect time to strike a blow to Aio. We told the police about Aio and all the experiments he'd performed. It took them about two years to find his base and shut it down. I'm guessing that somewhere in that confusion the two escaped. Last I heard the BBA had taken them in. That was over two years ago."

'So they were fifteen when they escaped. They were stuck there two years after we had been saved.' Both boys silently thought, trying to imagine if their childhood had been the same or worse than theirs.

"Anything else you care to know?" Boris looked at the two as he watched them trying to absorb the information. "No? Then leave." The two just nodded and silently left.

As they exited the room, Bryan and Spencer looked at the two. They wanted to know what Boris had told them. But they knew that it was best not to pry right now. The four left the hospital and headed back to Kai's mansion. It was where they were staying during the Russian leg of the tournament. The only one who broke the silence was Kai, and that was only because he had to make a call. The sun had set by the time they reached the mansion. Bryan and Spencer just left the two alone with their thoughts. They knew it wouldn't be long before they told them what was going on. Tala sat down and ran his fingers through his hair.

"How did we get so mixed up in all of this?" He asked Kai who sat down in a leather chair.

"I don't know. But we can't just ignore it. Especially if our past is tied with theirs somehow." Those were the only things Kai could think of for rationalizing as to why they were doing all of this. He knew it wasn't the truth, but they were the only excuses he could come up with.

A knock at the door snapped both of them out of their thoughts. Kai rose slowly and went to see who it was. He opened the door to see Mr. Dickinson standing in a large coat. He stepped aside and let the man in and closed the door behind him. To the boys, this weather was nice. But Kai could see Mr. Dickinson shaking slightly and moved to turn up the heater. He sat back down as Mr. D took off his coat and hung it by the door. He walked over to the boys and saw the lost looks upon their faces.

"I came as soon as I could Kai. What is it you two wished to ask me?" Mr. D took a seat in another leather chair around the small glass table.

"Mr. Dickinson, what did you know about Eternal D?" The bluenette asked softly, not looking up at the man.

"What do you mean?" At first he tried to play dumb. But when he looked from Kai to Tala, he could tell that they already knew something. "To be honest, not a whole lot. Shortly after we put an end to BIOVOLT, we were given a tip that another facility was still out there. It was supposed to be worse than BIOVOLT by far. At first we didn't believe it, but after two years of searching we finally found the place. I'm still haunted by what I saw there." He shivered as the memories began to surface.

"What did you see?" Tala asked, looking up at the old man.

"From those that could actually talk, they said at first it seemed like the inside of a Grecian palace. It was completely silent inside. Many believed it was a trap so we proceeded with caution. But when we managed to reach the heart of the facility, we could tell that it had just been abandoned. Probably a few hours before our arrival. Still we combed the corridors and rooms for any survivors. The place was dead silent and as we managed to find our way down to the dungeons, the stench of death and decay was in the air. Many cells were stained with blood and we could only imagine what had happened to those poor children. But what we saw next…." Mr. Dickinson paused to catch his breath as he fought his shaking. "We opened a door that led into a huge room. At first we could see nothing, only smell the horrible stench of decay. I myself had to cover my nose to fight the stench. One of the men threw a flare into the room to light it up in case there was a trap waiting for us. Instead all we saw were the bodies of the many missing children. Limbs were scattered everywhere. Bodies were piled on top of each other and lying in a huge pool of blood. Many faces were still frozen in fear as they lied there lifeless. I, like a few of the men, couldn't hold it back no more and had to hunch over or puke on myself. I left the room while a few others ventured forward. I don't know when or how I managed to hear a noise within that madness, but I gladly went to investigate it. I listened for it again and it led me to a dark dungeon. The cell door appeared like it was closed, but upon closer examination I noticed it was slightly ajar. I pulled it open and stepped inside. I heard a small hitch in someone's breathing and looked to the dark corner of the cell. I called out to whoever it was, telling them it was ok. One of the officers found me and stepped inside the cell to see what I was trying to do. He turned on a flashlight and shined it in the corner. Two girls covered in blood, that's what we saw. Chris was out cold on the floor and Tonya was crouched next to her defensively. We held our hands out to show we meant no harm. It wasn't long after we found them that Tonya collapsed."

The two just sat there, unable to say anything. They'd had no idea that Mr. Dickinson had witnessed such sights and was still able to be the cheery old man that everyone loved. The boys found a new sense of respect for the old man as he sat there, just barely managing to keep himself in check. They would never see just an old man again.

"About two weeks later the two finally woke up. All they remembered was their names, their blades with their beasts, age, and that something bad had happened. Somehow they'd gotten amnesia and for two years they haven't been able to recover their memories. And it seems that they're tired of waiting." Mr. Dickinson looked down at the floor as the boys wondered what he meant.

"What exactly has happened Mr. Dickinson?" Kai prodded.

"Well there was a board of directors. They were in charge of helping rebuild the BBA. They struck a deal with the girls. Since we needed some new bladers to draw attention back to the BBA they asked the girls to take part in the tournament. In exchange, they were to help find information about their past. As the tournament progressed, the directors grew greedy. They extended the deadline and the girls didn't take to well to that. They lashed out at them and put them in the hospital. Somehow they used their power to erase their memories of what happened so the directors couldn't put the blame on them." He just shook his head, unable to believe how easily the girls had turned to violence.

"I, well, we were wondering if you had a way to get in contact with them." Kai sounded a little too hopeful as he made his request.

"I can try. Ever since that attack, I haven't heard or seen the two. But I can try." Mr. D said, sounding hopeful himself.

"Thank you for your time Mr. Dickinson." Kai stood and helped the old man up and walked him out to his waiting car.

Kai walked back inside as he heard the car slowly pull away. He closed the door and locked the deadbolt behind him. Tala stood up slowly and followed Kai up the stairs and then headed off to his room. Their minds were whirring as they took in all the new information they'd learned today. While many questions had been answered, many more were formed. But all the boys could do now was wait and see what the girls' next move would be.

Just outside the huge mansion the girls stood there, watching as the house grew dark. They'd seen the boys go to question Boris and had arrived just in time to see Mr. Dickinson pull away from Kai's place. Tonya sighed as it began to snow. Chris looked at her friend, wondering what was on her mind.

"Care to share?" The albino asked as she stared at Tonya who just continued to look up at the house.

"We can't go back anymore. You know this right?" She turned her head towards her friend who looked slightly confused. "We assaulted five people, damn near killing one of them."

"What are you getting at?" Chris folded her arms as she waited for Tonya to continue.

"You don't have to do this anymore. If this is what you want, to live a normal life again before all this mess started, then you can. I won't stop you." Tonya turned her whole body towards her friend who just looked at her.

"What would you do?" Chris unfolded her arms as Tonya sighed.

"I have to— no, I need to find out who did this to us. I can't just ignore this. Part of me will never be at peace until I see this through to the end." The brunette looked out to the mountains as she said this.

"And what makes you think that I would just leave you to do this alone? You forget we're in this together." Tonya glanced over her shoulder to see a smiling Chris.

"I had a feeling you would say that. But it never hurts to ask right?" She smiled softly at her friend and then glanced back at the mansion. "From this point on, we're on our own Chris. We can't drag anyone into our hell."

"I say we go to hell in style." Chris raised her hand and Tonya grasped it as the two nodded and then turned their backs on the mansion and disappeared into the night.

Ok since I've recently started a new job I barely have time to work on the story. But fear not! I will finish it, just might take awhile. For now I hope you enjoyed this chapter and as always let me know what you think!
