Hey! I'm back! Whistler was so awesome! I got to see the Black Eyed Peas.
Justin Timberlake was there singing Where's the Love? with them! It was so
sweet!
Anyways, last time, I left you with a cliffhanger, knowing that you people will have to wait a couple of days. Muhahahaha. 0bss3ssi0n said that Zarine should blade, but nise-angel said that Ray should. Kay said that she doesn't really care. I think I should get a vote in this. (I am writing this, after all!) So, I've decided...to let you find out for yourselves! (Did you really think I had ANY intention of telling you?)
Chapter Twenty-One – The Battle for Freedom - Part III
"Kai, what do you think?" Tyson asked.
Kai looked at Ray, then at Zarine's determined face. He hesitated before answering, "I think Zarine should, simply because she knows Jordan's moves better than Ray does. Any objections?" He looked pointedly at Ray.
However, the black haired boy refused to answer, so Kai took that as a no. "Zarine, you're up. You can do it," Kai said.
"Jordan, if I beat you, you'll set me, Dragoon and my brother free," Zarine said firmly.
"Whoa! That wasn't part of the deal. The Bladebreakers came to battle for your freedom."
"Fine then, what's your best offer here?"
"I'll set you and Dragoon free if you win. That's mighty kind of me. I really doubt that you'll beat me though," Jordan said confidently. Not in the condition that you're in, he added silently to himself.
"Yeah, whatever, it's a deal," Zarine said. I'll just have to get Will back another way, she thought.
It was an intense battle between Zarine and Jordan. Their blades kept on slamming and clashing into each other. Their bit-beasts were fighting ferociously. However, Jordan had the upper hand most of the time.
"Come on, Zarine, you can do this!" her teammates cheered her on as she struggled to push Jordan's blade back. She was getting really tired.
"Zarine, is that the best that you can do?" Jordan taunted. "I'm very disappointed. You should be able to do much better than this. But then again, you have been with those losers for a while..."
"Don't call them losers!" she said furiously, she couldn't handle much more of Jordan's assault.
"Whatever, you're mine!"
"Never!" she cried. She fell on her knees, drained of energy, but she still managed to hold on.
Suddenly, she felt someone helping her up. She felt unsteady on her feet, but that unknown person supported her by holding onto her waist.
"Get your hands off my girl, Ray Kon!" Jordan demanded, his face a mask of fury.
Only then did she realize that Ray was the one who helped her up. "Zarine, fight him! Push him back! I know you can do this," Ray said, his voice sounded comfortingly close. Zarine felt more confident when she heard his voice and her blade began pushing Jordan's back.
"What! You should've lost by now!" Jordan exclaimed, surprised.
"Hate to break it to you, but I'm not going to lose that easily!" Zarine said. "Xeora, finish him off!"
Wham! Jordan's blade was knocked spinning out of the beystadium.
The ref announced, "The winner of this round is Zarine. The Bladebreakers is the winner!"
Jordan's face was pale with shock as he picked up his blade off the floor.
"Give Dragoon back! It was part of the deal!" Max demanded.
"George!" Jordan snapped. "Give his bit-beast back."
George released Dragoon out of his blade, and the blue dragon returned to Tyson's blade. Tyson was so happy that Dragoon was back with him once more. He went to hug Zarine, who was still in Ray's arms, so he ended up hugging them both of them.
"You may have won this battle, but this is far from over! We'll see you in the Championships. Now get out of here!" he commanded.
Once they were outside of the warehouse, Zarine collapsed onto her knees once more. She was exhausted, and her back was hurting like hell. She had forgotten all about the pain during the battle. Her teammates gathered around her.
"What's wrong?" Kenny asked.
"Nothing, I'm just tired," she lied. She was sure if she told them what Jordan did to her, Ray would go right back into the warehouse and rip Jordan apart.
Ray didn't believe her, but decided that it wasn't the best time for answers. "I'll just carry you," he offered, lifting her easily.
They were halfway through the maze of alleys when Kai stopped abruptly. "Who's there? Show yourself!" he barked.
"It's us!" Ozuma said, and appeared with the rest of the Saint Shields.
"Hey! So where did you go after we went in?" Tyson asked.
