Yay! My first ever fanfic! I hope you like it. It's based on episode 49 and so on of the anime 'cause my creativity is terrible. If you have any ideas, can you tell me? I would appreciate it very much.

Enjoy!


Awaiting Destiny

Chapter 1: The Fourth Round

They were all losing… Sano, Rinko, Ban and Diego were badly injured and Kilnorton was lying unconscious on the solid stone platform. Anon had beaten them all…

---

Hideyoshi and Ballow were nowhere to be seen while Ueki was away, training inside Margaret's Heavenly Beast body. Ai is the only one left… The only one left not beaten up by Anon…

"Kosuke Ueki has succeeded in the nine-star Heavenly Being test!" said a bouncy round dog-unicorn thingy in Margaret's body. "He has now gained the nine-star Sacred Treasure – Seikuu!"

"Good! I…got…a…feeling…that…I'm…gonna…need…it," Ueki said in between pants. "Can…I…go…for…the…ten-star…test…now?"

---

Anon slowly inched towards Ai with an evil smile on his face. 'Oh look, it's Miss Goody-Two-Shoes-Pose! One of the weakest members of Team Ueki…"

Ai did not hear anything else Anon said. She was too panic-stricken to even listen to him. Her pupils were contracted, her whole body was shaking and she can only stutter out of fear.

Then, she felt something crushing her neck. Anon was trying to choke her as he single-handedly carried her towards the end of the platform. Ai tried to pry his fingers from her neck in an attempt to loosen his grip but he was too strong…much too strong for her to handle…

---

Ueki, who had just finished the final test in the 'Awakening Organ' was trying out his new pair of wings. A pair of midnight blue bat-like wings protruding from his back – his Seikuu.

Ueki jumped, flapped his wings as quickly as he can and fell flat on his face. It was hard, especially when he only got them a while ago. "No, no! You need to jump higher and flap them as hard as you can but calmly at the same time!" said Margaret who is now in his human form, brushing away dust and dirt from his clothes.

"All right, Marge!" Ueki said and he tried to do as Margaret told him but he failed again. "Owww… It hurts!" he said, rubbing his sore bottom.

This is gonna take a while… thoughtMargaret. And is 'Margaret' really a girl's name? He wondered, scratching his beautiful long blonde hair.

---

Anon carried Ai to the edge of the platform, all the while trying to choke her. Sano and Rinko were trying to stand up, but they were too weak to stand, let alone help her. Anon told her the reason he changed the rules of the 'Battle Game' along with his dream. Protector Clan, dreams, pathway, destroy… Those were the only things that she managed to hear but somehow, she understood his intentions – to destroy the whole world…

Ai was hanging over the edge of the platform. She was desperately trying to loosen his grip and tightening her hold on his wrist at the same time, trying to avoid falling to her death from the thirty-storey platform. "Well, goodbye now, Ai," he said, releasing his grip letting her die falling from the platform.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! AIIIIIIIIII!!!" shouted Sano and Rinko, helpless.

The whole world seemed to move slowly as if taken over by Marilyn… each second felt ten times longer than usual.

I'm so sorry everybody. I'm so, so sorry for letting you guys down. And Ueki, I'm so sorry that you will never know my feelings towards you… Ai thought with tears in her eyes, awaiting her death three hundred feet below…


I know it's not original so, please be nice to me. I'm very sorry if it's too boring or cliched. This story just popped out in my head and I just have to write it down.
