Bottomless (Alex's Story)

I was happier than I had ever been in my life. I was with my brother and I was part of a team that appreciated me. My brother was happy and I was too. Then my finally perfect world slowly came crashing down. It started like this…

We were at the park practicing for the championship match that was coming up. It was getting darker and darker by the minute, so Tyson, Max and Kenny started back to the dojo. The rest of us were to catch up with them but it didn't happen that way.

A strange boy showed up and demanded that I battle with him, so I agreed. He suddenly turned and ran into the forest with Ray, Kai and I in pursuit.

He led us into a clearing with a dish in the middle of it. We immediately got down to business, and launched our blades. The blades viciously attacked each other with full force, and each blow felt like deep wound was being torn right through me.

The boy called out his bit beast and at the same time I called out mine. His was a giant, rabid lion and mine an elegant, fiery bird. They both were very strong and powerful creatures and their handlers just as powerful.

The battle raged on, as we both got weaker from each painful blow. We spun around the dish in many different patterns with many different techniques, and then my bit beast tapped into my energy, which slowly weakened me more and more until I passed out.

I'm not quite sure what happened next seeing how I was out cold but I believe that the battle still continued. My companions tried to help me but my beast protected me with an invisible shield of fire.

I awoke after rest and slowly rose to my feet. Not knowing what had happened I still continued to battle for my poor beast and my team as well.

But then there was a bright light and a giant explosion of dust and debris that engulfed my opponent and I. We disappeared in the dust and then a huge gust of wind threw the boy and I back away from the dish. I fell back and was caught by Ray and my brother Kai, as we all stumbled to the ground.

When the dust cleared I knew I had won as my blade was still spinning alone in the dish and the boy had disappeared without a trace. His blade lay in a million small pieces on the ground. I smiled happily at my brother as I slowly closed my weak eyes and my tense body loosened.

I could hear sounds as I lay on the ground to tired to move. I felt warm blood coming from the wounds I had acquired from the long and agonizing battle and I could hear sirens in the distance.

The others arrived as the sirens grew louder and at that moment I knew that I was going to die. My brother called my name over and over again but I was too weak to answer, and as the sirens grew closer and closer. He suddenly got up and ran deep into the forest obviously realizing the real truth.

I slowly opened my eyes and asked Ray to take my necklace from around my neck and give it to Kai from me. Then I asked him to take my blade out of the dish and to keep it to remember me by. He did as I asked and I knew that he understood why. He gave me a small kiss and I hugged him before closing my eyes once more.

The sirens were louder than ever and then they suddenly stopped. I felt myself being lifted on to a stretcher and then put into the ambulance but then a second followed.

I was confused so I opened my eyes one last time turned my head and saw Kai looking back at me. We both smiled and I grabbed Kai's hand. Then I closed my eyes and all went quiet.
