Chapter 1: Prelude: The Battle

Rei stepped over a puddle, trying to ge back to the hotel.

"Damnit! Tyson's gonna kill me!"

In his rush, he tripped over a steel bar and tumbled to the ground.

"Oi.... today's just not my day..."

Rubbing his head, he looked up, a girl with sparkly green eyes looked down at him.

"Need a hand?"

She extended her hand to help him up. He took it gratefully.

"Thanks. Who are you?"

She smiled.

"That's not important, you'll find out soon enough..."

"Oh...."

She grinned mysteriously.

"Wanna have a quick match?"

Rei nodded enthusiastically.

"That'd be great!"

The girl had led him to a deserted factory, in the middle of the room was a steel blading dish.

"Here we are! Ready when you are!"

"Oh, you'll regret ever asking me to this match!"

She grinned.

"Don't be so sure..."

"3...2...1... LET IT RIP!!"

The girl's red-'n-black blade spun in place while Rei's blade charged at it.

"Arwen... ghost mode."

The girl's blade disappeared momentarily.

"What the....?!?!"

Then, from behind, the girl's blade smashed Driger out of the dish.

"Thanks for the match."

The girl picked up her blade. Rei fell to his knees beside his blade.

"Hm... you're good."

He looked up... the girl was gone!

"Man..."

He picked up Driger and checked his watch, it was 3:30! He was supposed to be back at the hotel at 3:00! Damnit! He sprinted out of the factory and down the alleyway towards the hotel.
