GreenFairyGirl88: I do believe the descriptions can be found in the chapters called: Captured! (basing this off memory) Chapter 22 most definitely!! And most definetly Chapter 24: Song of the Crows!! And to get hint on the father, you must check all the chapters in which Rogue was FateStriker. You'll get it. . .

O.K. I know you're all just waiting to read the fight so I shall not delay you any further! Now on with the Story!:

Sorry for the long time without an update. Been waay to busy and I had writer's block.

Chapter 29: To be beaten

" How would you feel if you got

Your ass kicked by someone

With an acute sense of

schizophrenia?"

~RoguesHeart~

Belladonna spit out a glob of blood that was culminating in her mouth. She couldn't figure out how the woman was able to move so fast. It was as if she was another person.

Rogue walked over to the stunned Belle. Reaching down, she picked the woman up by her throat. Smiling evilly, she hurled the woman across the arena, slamming her into the wall.

The audience erupted into voluptuous roars of pleasure and joy. Rogue was now kicking the ass of the woman who had injured her. It wouldn't be long until the fight got real exciting when they would be allowed to exchange weapons and their natural born powers.

Belle slid to the ground, gripping her sides. Her dagger wound had torn back open and was bleeding proficiently. Scurrying to the dark corner, she attempted to evade the white streaked woman as she began to grab into the darkness. It seemed that she was getting faster by the minute.

This was too easy, she was such a big talker but when it came to a real opponent she was a nothing. It was almost unworthy of her trading her psyches. Oh well, a deed was done and it was time for some major payback.

The woman seemed to think that she was unable to see her cowering in the darkness of the corner. That wouldn't last long, she would have her fight. Rogue reached down and grabbed the woman's ankle and dragged her away from the corner. A scream erupted from her throat, as she proceeded to twist her ankle.

Swinging wildly, Belladonna tried to get the woman off her. But her grip was too strong, she couldn't break it. Pushing her leg against the woman's chest, she attempted to shove the woman away from her.

Rogue eyes flashed brightly at Belladonna's efforts, as pathetic as they were. She still had some fight left in her. She would just have to drag this out then, she wanted to see her suffer. Rogue could feel her arms burning with pain. Yet it wasn't too painful, more enjoyable than anything.

Rogue slammed her elbow into the woman's lower gut, causing for her to let out a gasp of surprise. Smirking with satisfaction, Rogue back flipped out of the way of the woman's low kick.

A sweep of nausea struck Belladonna hard. The woman was hitting her in all her vital areas. Her lungs felt like collapsing , she could feel her body shuddering with each breath she took. She was hurting.

She could feel the woman lifting her off her feet. Her stare was cold and unfeeling. Terror began to rise through her body. Her arms started to shake with fear as she continued to gaze into those hateful eyes.

" Now, who's the one who's scared?"

With that, Rogue threw her into the floor. Her blood was pumping rapidly and the adrenaline was flooding her mind. She began to feel stronger better yet empowered. Surges of flames darted behind her eyes.

' Fate Striker…ya cannot do this…"

' I have no other choice Rogue.."

' Please….she's an innocent…'

' No, I have seen into her soul…

' What?! Ya weren't authorized….'

Fate Striker scoffed at Rogue's naivety.

' I need no authorization by anyone Rogue, I am the Supreme…'

' Don't do this Fate Striker..'

' No Choice'

Rogue watched on helplessly as the Fate striker continued to attack Belladonna viciously. Only a small part of her was taking enjoyment in this yet that could only be the true goth emerging. But Belladonna was an innocent, she had nothing to do with this. No matter how much she pissed her off, she didn't want her killed. Yet she was useless, she was too weak to help her. She would just have to hope and pray that the Fate Striker wouldn't go all the way with her judgment.

Belladonna was pissed. She was getting her ass whooped. This was intolerable, she was Belladonna Bordreaux, this just wasn't supposed to happen.

Twisting herself out of the southerner's grasp, Belle whipped around and attempted to pin the woman to the ground yet she merely brushed her off by pulling up all her bodyweight. As Belle slammed into the ground, her gaze caught with the southern belle. Her emerald eyes were cruel and calculating, a smirk was planted on her thin lips.

" Nice try sugah…but not good enough."

With that, Rogue grabbed the woman by her hair and flung her across the arena. She watched as her body fell hard upon the ground, leaving a sizable dent in the floorway.

As she crossed over to the woman's body and leaned over to finish her opponent off, a bell sounded off through the arena.

Glancing up, Rogue saw Essex, who was standing up at his post with his hand raised, beckoning to the soldiers beneath him. Then he turned his attention to the audience, who were awaiting his excuse for interrupting their fight.

" This fight has now reached the second portion…we shall now pass out the weapons."

With a simple wave of his hands, the doors to the arena flung open. On both sides, stood two men holding various weapons. Like before, they walked around the fighting arena, placing each one carefully on the ground.

Then Essex stood once more and beckoned the audience around him. Holding his hand sternly in the air, he pointed towards the fighters.

" Weapons are now permitted as well as natural powers."

After he finished pointing that fact out, a small girl walked up in front of him. Her face was cloaked with a dark purple shawl. The only thing that showed were her emerald green eyes, which stared out at them with a never ceasing deadly appeal. Essex merely ignored the child and directed to both Rogue and Belle, who was currently back on her feet and eyeing the weapons around her.

" Let the fight resume."

Rogue smiled eerily at her opponent as she lunged towards the staff across from her. She was going to use the staff against her. Unfortunately for the poor cajun fool she didn't know that she was fully skilled in all areas of weaponry. She wasn't a T.M.A. agent for nothing. Not too mention, Remy used the staff on a daily basis.

You are near to the dark, I will tell you about the sun…You are here no escape from my visions of the world….

Rogue swayed to the song that was currently playing in her mind. It seemed to control her indefinetly. Not even the Fate Striker could resist the sultry tones and the strange beat that seemed to flow through her body.

You will cry alll alone but it does not mean a thing to me…..Knowing the song I will sing till the darkness comes to sleep, come to me I will tell about the secret of the sun…

She began to glide slowly over to the double axes that were conveniently placed to her side. Using a portion of the telekinetic power that had found itself present in her mind, she drifted them into her fingertips. Gripping them tightly, she turned her gaze slowly back to the Cajun in front of her..

Her lips widened into a dark smile. This would be fun… a lot of fun.

It's in you not in me…But it does not mean a thing to you….

Oh yeah, another prophecy song.. I had to put it in there. Somehow, I'm going to have to have you, my favorite readers, hear it. It's very creepy. Ask Floods-Evo for my email address or ask me in my reviews.. and I'll send you the music. *go me and my creations*

Yeah, another cliff hanger chapter. Sorry, couldn't resist. But I have met another impass. I don't know if I want to kill BellaDonna.

Kill her?

Yes

No

Believe me, I can't write the next chapter without finding this question out. I am unable to make decisions right now, if it was left to me..a decision wouldn't be made until several months later. Which is kind of pathetic.

PLEASE REVIEW FOR ME!!! I WANT TO WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER BUT I CAN'T!! *Sniffle*
