Chaos: I've finally done it! *falls over from exhaustion*

Bryan: Is she ok? *pokes Chaos with a stick*

Spencer: Let her rest or she'll just torture you when she gets up.

Chris: So who's gonna do the disclaimer?

Tonya: Well since I am the top OC I guess that makes me second in command. *grins evilly*

Kai: Everyone run for their lives. *rolls his eyes*

Tala: So who is the unlucky victim?

Tonya: Let's see...Craig you do it! *points to the other red head*

Craig: Why me? *glares at Tonya*

Tonya: Cause I have the power now! Mwuahahaha!

Craig: *shies away from her* Ok...Chaos doesn't own Beyblade or its characters, just her OC's and temporarily Chris.

~*Memories*~

Chris's POV

I can't believe it's been a month since Tonya was taken. It feels weird, not having her here. Ever since escaping, we'd always been together. We were the closest thing to family we had since neither of us had any family. We were like sisters, sometimes bickering, other times caring, and always there for each other. I can see the sun beginning to rise as I look out the window of the room I'm borrowing. Kai, along with the other boys, are all downstairs talking. Amazingly Kai and Tala made a full recovery from the attack. All they're discussing now are different possibilities as to where Tonya could be. I tune out their conversation, I have to focus on other things now. I wish that the rest of my memories would come back already! All I've gotten lately are flashes of what look like temples that you see in Greece. Lot of help that is. Apparently whoever took Tonya was smart enough to somehow suppress her power, otherwise she would've gotten free and contacted me by now. Even Shadow's energy is blocked. Daikairi can usually pick up on his energy, but not this time. This is just so frustrating!

"Damnit!" I couldn't help but holler as I punched the wall. Of course I easily knocked a hole in the wall with my freakish strength that I have.

"Chris! Are you ok?" I could hear the door fling open as someone rushed in. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

"I'm fine. I just wish we could do more than just sit around and wait! What if we never find her Kai?" I just hung my head as I leaned against the wall.

"Don't talk like that." He whispered as I felt his arms wrap around my waist. "We're going to find her. You heard those guards, they have no intention of killing her. Tonya's a fighter. She won't give up. I promise you we will find her."

"I hope you're right Kai." I leaned back against his chest and feeling the warmth of his body helped to calm me down.

"Have you managed to remember anything else?" He whispered as I turned my head away.

"A few things." I said quietly as we stood there in the rising light. 'But there's just some memories I can't share.' I shivered as I thought back to two years ago.

_._._

Two years ago…

"Aaaah!" A small brunette screamed as her body went limp. She was lying on the floor in a puddle of her own blood. The girl weakly pushed herself off the floor and forced herself to stand. She stood there in bloodied and torn clothes, willing herself to ignore the pain. If she showed any more signs of weakness, another round of whippings would come.

"Good. Your pain tolerance is building. But you still haven't reached your breaking point yet. You can return to your room now." Aio said as he threw the bloody whip down and left the room.

The girl weakly walked back to her room. No guards were posted down the corridors because they knew she wouldn't run. Cameras were everywhere and guards would be on her within seconds if she tried to make a break for it. And running was punishable by torture and possible death. As she slowly made her way down the corridor, the screams of the dying could be heard. When she was younger she used to cover her ears in an attempt to block out the horrible sounds. After hearing it for over ten years, she'd grown used to it. But it still didn't stop the shivers that overtook her body every now and then. She was just glad she wasn't one of those who was used as a lab rat and then tossed away like garbage. She'd once had to witness the death of one girl as she was beaten to death. She finally made it to her room where one other was waiting for her. A girl her age who'd she'd known since she was first brought her. The albino heard the door open and close and was surprised to see her friend still standing.

"Tonya! Hang on I got you." The girl took her friend's arm and wrapped it around her neck as she helped her to the bathroom. She gently took off what was left of her shirt and chunked it in a pile with the rest of their bloody clothes.

"Thanks Chris. Ow!" The brunette hissed as Chris began cleaning her wounds with warm water.

"Hold still." Chris said as she gently cleaned her back. "Geez he did a number on you this time."

"It's nothing." Tonya said softly as she stared at the marble wall. Chris let her hand fall as she caught the meaning in her words.

"Why did it have to be us?" Chris whispered. Of course Tonya could hear her. With all of their senses heightened, neither one could say anything without the other hearing it. "I don't know. Sometimes I wonder if it's better that we survived or if we'd just let the pain take us." She thought back to that day ten years ago.

Like many others before them, it had been their turn to see if their bodies would accept the DNA. It was what their training had prepared them for. The two didn't know that the others before them had died. All any of the kids in the facility knew was that there were others like them there, trapped with nowhere to go. The two girls looked at each other, wondering what was going on. They recognized each other, having seen each other on occasion. The two were scared but did their best to hide it. They didn't wish to be punished. All that either can remember is being put inside a chamber, hearing the lock click into place, and then shrouded in darkness as pain began to rack their bodies. The two screamed at the top of their lungs, trying their best to block out the pain. After what seemed like hours the pain faded and the two collapsed, waking up weeks later to different bodies, looks, and power.

"I know this isn't the life either of us wanted. We didn't ask to be freaks. But this is what we were dealt. And I'll be damned if I give up now." Tonya growled as Chris started to clean off her wounds again.

"You're right." Chris finally said after a few seconds of silence. "Here, put this on while I try to find some bandages." She handed Tonya a shirt while she looked for the bandages.

"Oh, that reminds me. I heard some interesting news today." Tonya said as she walked out of the bathroom. She'd blocked out the pain and could move easier now.

"What?" Chris called over her shoulder as she searched for the bandages.

"That BIOVOLT place, the one competing with our psychotic leader, it was finally shut down. Guess the police finally got the evidence they needed." Tonya said as she leaned up against the marble wall.

"Yeah I heard that too. I guess that, what's his name? Boris! That's right. That Boris guy's bladers turned on him. Guess they finally got the break they needed." Chris looked over her shoulder to see Tonya fold her arms over her chest.

"I'll give our leader this. He damn sure is good at covering his tracks. No one knows we're here. And the few that found out were killed. It'd take a miracle for something like that to happen for us. Not to mention he made it to where none of us could really turn on him. We're the only two that could but two against an entire facility wouldn't win. The rest he'd just kill off and throw away like garbage." Tonya sighed as she let her head hang.

"Who knows? Maybe it could happen. After all, that's why they call it wishful thinking. Damnit where are those bandages?" Chris growled as she threw their pillows around. Tonya smiled at this. This was the only time the two were allowed to be themselves. And they did their best to enjoy what little pleasures they were given while stuck in hell. "By the way, those scientists finished fixing our blades." Chris tossed Tonya hers as she continued to search in vain for the bandages. The brunette scanned over her blade, impressed with the subtle upgrades they'd done.

Before Chris could go on a cussing rant because she could find the bandages, an alarm went off. They could hear the shuffling of feet as guards directed everyone to the waiting helicopters. Only one thing could set the alarms off. Someone had finally found them, or was getting close anyways. The two listened as orders were shouted as the scientists gathered their data before having the computers shot and destroyed. Gun fire and screams could be heard as the many kids tried to make to one of the waiting copters. The two guessed that any kid that fell behind was shot right there. Chris looked from the door to Tonya who slammed her back up against the wall. She grunted in pain as she hit her back hard one more time, a plan already forming in her mind.

"Tonya what are you doing?" Chris hissed as she watched the brunette slip out of the shirt. She threw it aside and was standing there with nothing covering the upper half of her body.

"Don't you see? We can turn this in our favor. This is the break we need!" Tonya said as she moved back into the bathroom. She broke off the brass shower head and handed it to Chris. "Hide back there. As soon as you see the guard hit him hard."

Chris nodded as she took her place, slowly catching on. She could tell what Tonya planned as she made a mess of the bathroom, making it seem like she just stumbled in. Chris evened out her breathing so she wouldn't be caught so easily once the guard came to get them. Once Tonya was done making a mess out of the place she glanced down at the sticky floor. As much as it disgusted her, Tonya gently lied down in the pool of blood that had formed earlier before Chris had begun to tend to her. It wasn't very big, but she easily spread it out and with more pouring out of her wounds, it wouldn't take long for it to become bigger. It wasn't long before both of them heard a door open and only two sets of footsteps enter. As they drew closer to the bathroom, Tonya held her breath and stayed perfectly still.

"Shit! Hey get in here! We got a bleeder!" The guard called as soon as he saw Tonya lying on the floor.

"Get her patched up quickly! We can't let this one die! Any idea where the other is?" The other asked as he moved to the bathroom.

As soon as the second one walked in Chris quickly swung the brass pipe hard, hitting the closest one to her. The one near Tonya turned to see what had happened right as Tonya pushed herself up and landed a kick at his jaw. The two men fell to the floor and didn't get up. They were still breathing thankfully though. The girls snuck out of their room and began to run farther into the compound.

"So what's the plan now?" Chris asked as she followed behind Tonya. She'd managed to snag a shirt on the way out and was at least covered now.

"Someone must've found the facility. That's the only reason they'd evacuate this place. If we can find a place to hide long enough for whoever is coming, maybe we'll be saved." Tonya said as she ran down the empty corridor.

"That's a big maybe." Chris said as the two stopped for a breather for a second.

"Well it's our only shot. You game?" Tonya smiled at her friend who just rolled her eyes.

"As if you need to ask?" Chris returned the smile as the two tried to catch their breath. "So, where's our best bet to hide?"

"The dungeons." Tonya replied after a few minutes of thinking. "They probably know we've escaped by now. Most will think we're trying to get out. If we go further into the compound, it'll confuse them. They wouldn't risk searching for us for too long. All we have to do is survive until then."

"Easier said than done." Chris laughed slightly, not quite sure if they were going to make it. Tonya couldn't help but laugh with her.

Their laughter was cut short as both picked up on a buzzing sound that was drawing closer. Chris reacted fast than Tonya and knocked the brunette out of the way. All Tonya could do was watch as Chris was torn to shreds by a barrage of bullets. After what seemed like ages, the firing stopped and Chris fell slowly her knees and then to the cold marble floor. Guards could be heard shouting as Tonya crawled to her fallen friend. The bullets had pierced major veins and vital organs. There was no telling if she would make it now.

"Chris! Christine! Listen you'll be ok! Don't close your eyes Chris! Chirs!" Tonya pleaded with her friend in vain. Chris's eyes slowly fell shut as her blood began to pool around them.

At that moment, something snapped within Tonya. She laid Chris down gently and turned to look at the soldiers. Her eyes were a blood red with small black slits in them. The guards her a deep feral growl escape from her teeth as her lips pulled back to reveal sharp fangs. Within a blink of an eye she'd crossed the distance between her and the guards and easily sliced through the nearest one's neck with her nails. A second raised his gun and she just as quickly drove her hand through his chest and gripped his heart. She crushed his still beating heart in her hand and let his corpse fall to the ground. One of the guards screamed, drawing her attention to him. He began to fire and completely missed her. She easily got behind him and drove the tip of her new black tail through his head. The addition of her new tail surprised her, but momentarily. More began to fire and she just as easily took them out, tearing off limbs, slicing them with her nails, almost toying with them. By the time the last one had fallen, she was covered in blood that wasn't her own.

Once she was sure no other guards were coming, she turned to check on her fallen friend. Relief washed through her when she heard Chris's shallow breathing. Her bloodlust temporarily subside as she ran to the aid of her friend. Tonya easily slid the girl on to her back and made her way down to the dungeons as she intended. She met little resistance as she slowly moved further and further into the compound. Anytime a guard came across them she never gave them a chance to run, always silencing them before they could scream. Eventually she made it down to the dungeons and found an empty cell that was still open. She walked in and placed Chris down in the corner gently. She checked her wounds and saw that Chris's body was already healing itself. Tonya sighed as she got up and closed the cell door just enough to where it appeared locked. There, she sat and waited until the entire compound fell silent. A few hours later she could hear people. As they drew closer, she wasn't sure if they were there to help or just more of Aio's cronies coming back for them. She took up a defensive stance as footsteps drew closer. An old man, along with an officer, were the ones to find them. She almost attacked them, her feral side still in control. But an inner voice, a deep male voice, told her it was ok. She knew that if the voice thought it was safe, then it was. Her eyes changed back to normal, her tail slowly disappeared, and all traces of her bloodlust were gone by the time the man was able to get a good look at her. Exhaustion overtook her body as she collapsed right there.

Present

Tonya's POV

It's been over a month since I've been here. My body is almost completely healed. According to the doctors, it counteracted the poison in my system first before moving on to the flesh wounds. I've been locked inside a fancy looking room that looks like it belongs in a Greek palace. Only time I've been let out is to train, which basically entails me beating the shit out of some weaker person because no one here is strong enough to hold their own against me. Thankfully my clothes were repaired after the attack. If that Aio creep thinks I was gonna wear those stupid gowns he'd left me, he was sorely mistaken. You'd think by now that I'd have escaped this place. But again, thanks to Aio I can't. They put a damn collar on me that suppresses my power. They're lucky I can't access my power otherwise getting out of here would be easy. On top of it all they took Shadow away. They must have some kind of field or something built up around his blade. I can't hear his voice and I'm sure he's tried to take form but can't. For the first time in a long time, I truly feel alone.

On a side note, my memories came back while I was locked inside that damn tube for a week. It took a few days, but the mental block that had hid them finally lifted. But I don't know if I'm happier knowing what happened two years ago. Now I know why I unwilling blocked it all out. Maybe sometimes ignorance is bliss. All I know is this. I can't go back. Too much blood is on my hands now….

Finally got this up! My freaking computer crashed on me awhile back and since then I've been having hell trying to get any other computer to support the file so I could upload it. Thankfully I can temporarily use my sisters till she comes back. But until then let me know what you thought ok?
