Synopsis for "Tested to Destruction"

The Body Doubles go to the local museum of Natural History hoping to collect on a 100 million dollar open ticket, only to find Killer Elite members Deadshot, Merlyn, and Deadline waiting for them. Bonny defeats her foes through the ingenious use of explosive bullets and shooting lipstick. Carmen goes one on one with Merlyn, who gets the upper hand on her but quick improvisation with her natural born "gadgets" give her the edge to take Merlyn down.

Meanwhile other assassins of Requiem Inc. pursue the ticket, but die one by one. Bonny's mentor and uncle, Nick Hoffman traps the girls, so he can pursue the 100 million dollar contract himself. But after the girls find him again grievously wounded, they find out that the founder of Requiem Inc., Mister Richter is the target. Bonny and Carmen go to the Toy Factory, the headquarters of Requiem Inc. There, in the basement of the Toy Store where the assassination agency is located, the Killer Elite wait. Bonny and Carmen have brought along more sophisticated items and use them to defeat Deadline and Merlyn. However, Deadshot gives up without a fight once his teammates are unconscious. He's still in love with Carmen Leno and promises to lie and say they knocked him out. Bonny and Carmen charge into the lobby of Requiem Inc. demanding to see Richter. Mr. Richter reveals that he planned to streamline the stable of assassins that Requiem employed. So it was all an Elimination Test, to see who was the best of group. Bonny and Carmen reply by gunning Mr. Richter down then figure that Requiem Inc. owes them for fulfilling the open contract. They collect the money and go get lunch.
