The very next day, Lilly and Lime are roaming the halls of Robert's castle with their Chibi's on leashes.

Lilly: I can't believe that girl got us sick with a computer virus *scowls*

Lime I know, but she did fix our computer

It's not long before though that they find AJ in one of the rooms, standing by the window as she looks up at the sky as dark clouds roll by.

Lilly: AJ *worried*

AJ: Something's coming...something dark

Lilly and Lime look at each other worried as a lowe rumble can be heard in the background

AJ: Oh, by the way. The next chapter is ready and...*hold up said manuscript*

Before she can finish speaking, the manuscript is ripped out of her hand as the two rabid fans run away laughing menically while their Chibi's flap in the wind like poor little kites

13) It Begins

The night passed and it only brought troubled sleep to Angelina who tossed around as nightmares plagued her about how everyone she spoke to was killed by a crazed Cassandra. Angelina finally got out of bed at sunrise and went out to the dew misted gardens to clear her mind before breakfast.

"What am I going to do now?" Angelina asked herself wearily as she sat down on a bench near a rose bush, totally unaware that someone else was on the other side of the bushes.

"I don't get it, why warn me if she's just going to hurt us in the end," Angelina mused aloud to herself.

"Angelina?" asked a familar voice. Angelina gasped in surprise and spun around in her seat to see...

"Robert?" she asked and he noddded.

"Yes, it is I. You may not know do I tend to come out here in the mornings to contemplate before I face the day," he said.

"I see that 'some' of my teachings have sunk in," Angelina said.

"You could say that," he said and she shifted nervously in her seat.

"Who were you talking about earlier?" he asked and she looked up at Robert in surprise.

"You heard me?" she asked. He nodded once more and she sighed heavily.

"There's this girl named Cassandra Rose, she..."

"I kow all about her."

"You do?"

"Yes, your sisters told me about her. Sounds like she's trouble."

"She's more than trouble...she's our equal," Angelina said and Robert raised an eyebrow at this.

"How can that be?"

"Easy, she has the same powers as us...but they've been juiced up by somethng dark and she's alligned herself with the Dark Bladers," Angelina said.

"And..." he asked, knowing that there was something she was leaving out.

"...she visited my room last night."

"What!? Are you allright? Did she...?" he began to ask but she held up her hands to silence him.

"I am fine. She only wanted to talk..." Angelina said, trailing off as the whole event flashed back through her mind, "...and give me a warning."

"What kind of a warning?"

"The kind that one can't share," she said and he narrowed his eyes at this.

"I see. I'll leave the matter alone then," he said and walked away as she watched him leave.

Later that week, everyone was gathered at the Olympia Stadium where it would be BladeBreakers vs the Majestics. The 4 Sisters were of course invited to come and watch the event...but there was one minor little glitch.

'Why in the Nine Hells are we seperated?' Angelique thought angrily with her arms crossed as she sat alone on the SouthEast side of the building. Angelina sat on the NorthEast side, Diana sat o the NorthWest side and Anyanka sat on the SouthWest side. The girls had been seperated but they were still connected by their mental link and used this to communicate with each other.

'I don't know, Robert said that he wouldn't seperate us,' Angelina replied, worry evident in her thoughts.

'I wouldn't worry, it's just probably just some technical glitch,' Diana said.

'I agree with her, we should be glad we're even here. So let's just sit back and relax,' Anyanka said as she threw back a whole bucket of popcorn which made the people around her sweat drop. Diana then nodded in agreement as she polished off a jumbo soda in one gulp.

'Some manners,' Angelique thought to herself as she polished off two candy bars in one bite and Angelina just looked as if she was ready to throw back a whole bottle of asprin. Just then, the four girls heard a really peppy male voice and they looked up to see...

"Hey! It's JazzMan!" Angelina gasped with stars in her eyes.

"Don't get so excited," Angelique said coldly.

"Besides that, Robert's paying me a boat load of money," JazzMan said. With that Angelina, Anyanka, Diana and the BladeBreakers facefaulted.

'I told you not to get excited,' Angelique said as her sisters climbed back into their seats as AJ and Topper revealed the name of the European team.

"The Majestic?!" Diana and Anyanka excalimed and the two stare at the team in shocked silence before they bursted out laughing.

"If you guys don't calm down, we just might get thrown out," Angelina threatened her two sisters and they quickly quieted down. Robert looked up to check on Angelina and her sisters, but he noticed something.

"That's odd," Robert said.

"What's odd?" Oliver asked as his and Enrique's attention was grabbed.

"Angelina is sitting alone...and so are her sisters," Robert said. Oliver and Enrique looked up towards Angelina and then one by one found the other three ladies.

"Aren't they supose to be sitting together?" Enerique asked.

"Yes, I had arrnage it so as they would sit together and thus be safe while we battle,' Robert said.

"Safe? Who would want to hurt then?" Johnny asked, not believeing what he was hearing.

"Not the Dark Blader?" Oliver asked and Robert nodded.

"I'm afraid it's someone more more powerfull than the Dark Bladers...and maybe even us," Robert said and a cold chill went through his team. Yet before he could explain any further, it came time to pick their Blader for the first match.

During the match, Cassandra Rose slipped into the stadium and took her place in the only seat available on the North side of the building, thus completeing the star pattern. Once the star was completed, the five girls' aura reacted to this and they all felt lighted headed as Cassandra got flashes of the other 4 girls' lives while they got glimpses of Cassandra's life.

Cassandra cursed under her breath as she put a hand to her head as she began to feel lighted.

'I could have done without the 'between sheets' smut,' she thought.

'I warned you about that,' a eerie male voice came in her head and she glared.

'Yes, you did. Now let's move on, shall we?' she shot coldly back and fluxed her aura enough to stop the memory flashes and to attract Angelina's attention. The tactic worked and Angelina gasped as she recognized the aura instantlly.

"Cassandra," she said, her breath barely above a whisper as she looked to the North side of the stadium where Cassandra was sitting and looking right at her.

'What do you want?' Angelina asked as they made eye contact.

'Pretty big asumption you made there,' Cassandra replied and Angelina glared at her, 'Oh, such scary eyes.'

'Just answer the question please,' Angelina thought and Cassandra grinned back.

'Just follow me and you'll find out,' Cassandra replied and gracefully got out of her seat. Angelina sighed heavily and left her own seat as Oliver and Raye left the dish after having scored a tie...and this was noticed by both sides.

"Oliver, could you do me a favour and follow Angelina for me?" Robert asked the French cook who nodded in agreement and hurried to catch up with her.

"What's his hurry?" Tyson asked.

"I don't know but I think someone should follow her," Kai said, sensing the dark aura in the stadium.

"On it," Max said and hurried off to catch up with both Angelina and Oliver. The DarkBladers noticed all this commontion going on and glanced each other, knowing very well that Cassandra was putting her plan into motion...but they were just going to stay out of it since they had no interests in the 4 Sisters...

* * *

Angelina followed Cassandra out of the Olympia stadium and out into the woods surrounding the stadium.

"Now will you talk with me?" Angelina asked when they stopped in a clearing.

"Yes. I know in the past we haven't battled much..." Cassandra started.

"We haven't battled at all. The only timw we really fought was that time on the train," Angelina said, flashing back to that fight. Ever since then, Cassandra has challenged her sisters to battles but never once truely challenged Angelina.

Cassandra smirked at this as she pulled out her wicked looking red and black Bitpeice and launcher.

"True, but I plan to rectify that now. I challenge you to a battle right here right now," Cassandra said and released her Bitpeice without warning. Angelina gasped as the Bitpeice flew straight towards her as Cassandra's Bitbeast Angelus, which was a demonic looking human girl.

"Leopold!" Angelina shouted and in the blink of an eye her Bitpeice appeared out of thin air and her Bitbeast, the silver snow leopard Leopold, emerged from his bit to defend his misstress.

"That was sneaky and underhanded, how dare you attack like that!" Angelina shuted as the two Bitbeasts fought tooth and claw between the two girls.

"How do you think I was able to get your sisters Diana and Anyanka to fight me in the first place?" Cassandra demanded.

"What?" Angelina gasped and Cassandra smirked.

"Your twin was all to easy to lure into a battle but it took a little pursuasion to get Anyanka and escpecially Diana to do battle with me becasue they thought it better to try and talk first," Cassandra said.

"Something you didn't have to do! Not all battles are settled by material weapons, but by the power of the mind!" Angelina shouted as her eyes glowed a bright green light that also burned in Leopold's eyes. Cassandra smirked as Angelina played right into her hands by going straight for the Soul Union that was trademark of only the 4 Sisters...

At the same time, Oliver and Max had caught up with each other and had gotten themselves lost.

"Tell me again why 'you're' out here," Max demanded of the young Majestic.

"Because Robert told me to. He'd be out here himself but he's yet to fight your team," Oliver said.

"Why would Robert be so concerned about her?" Max asked.

"Beacuse before the Elementals were your mentors, Angelina was the personal mentor of Robert for three whole months and I'm afraid he's grown quite fond of her. So it's only natural that he'd be concerned," Oliver said.

"What did you just say?" Max exclaimed but before Oliver could explain himself the two heard a girl's scream off to their right. Without another word, the two ran towards it to find Angelina in the clearing with Cassandra. The lady Dark Blader was standing triumphantly as Angelina was kneeling before her, her cloths all scratched up and soaked with her own blood. At the same time, Angelus floated triumphantly over a wounded Leopold.

"Angelina!" the two boys shouted and went to her side as Cassandra glared at them.

"You shouldn't have come here," Angelina spat out through labored breathing.

"She's right, you're only hurting youselves by being here," Cassandra said and both boys glaed at her.

"The only way this would hurt is if I turned away now. I refuse to walk away after finding what you have done to my friend," Max said angrily as he fished out his Bitpeice.

"I agree, this fight has come to an end," Oliver said as he pulled out his Bitpeice. Cassandra glared at the two momentarily before she smirked.

"As you wish, but know this. This fight isn't over till she's mine!" Cassandra shouted and with that Angelus moved forward to attack. In a heartbeat, Oliver and Max released their Bitpeices and their Bitbeasts emerged from their Bits.

"You shouldn't be doing this," Angelina said as the three Bitbeasts locked horns.

"No can do Ang, we're friends and friends help friends," Max said with a grin and Oliver nodded in agreement. Angelina frowned at this in worry before she turned back to the fight to see that the combined forces of the two Bitbeasts were actually beating back Cassandra.

"What's this, are they actually winning?" Cassandra asked, shocked.

"Just goes to show the power of teamwork," an eerie male voice said.

Cassandra looked up with a frown, Max & Oliver looked up confussed and Angelina looked up with a shocked gasp to see this dark mass behind Cassandra.

"My Lord?" Cassandra asked, confussed.

"I'vw warned you of this, and now the house of cards we've laid is tumbeling down," the mass said.

"No! Ours plans will not be ruined by two children and I will get what I want," Cassandra said as she turned her eyes back to Angelina who felt a cold sting in her heart as she felt those possesive eyes touch her. The mass smiled upon hearing this.

"I'm glad to hear that my dear," he said and Cassandra smiled, "For it's time." Cassandra's eyes grew wide upon hearing this and began to turn back to the mass as it jumped her. She screamed in agony as the mass attached itself to her soul and the black mark burned like a black light on her forehead. As she screamed, the Bitbeasts stopped fighting as the earth began to violently shook under them.

"Angelina! What's going on?" Oliver demanded over the noise of the rumble.

"It's begining," Angelina replied.

"What is?" Max asked.

"The End of it All!" Angelina shouted as the sky filled with dark clouds, the area was filled with violent winds and a black tear made itself known in the sky...

Lilly, Lime and AJ are in the Olympia stadium as the earthquake occurs.

AJ: See! I told you!

Lilly: Don't rub it in allright?! *glares at AJ*

Lime: What do we do?

AJ: There's nothing we can do but sit and wait for the next chapter to start

Lilly & Lime: ...WAAAAHHHH!

AJ: Chill! Let's play poker untill then

Lilly & Lime: Ok!

The three girls jump out of their seats and Lilly pulls out a small square from her pocket and throws it on the floor. It unfolds into a poker table complete with seats and pocker chips. Lime passes out snacks while AJ shuffles a deck of import Beyblade cards before she deals them out...
