She's Going Where!

Chapter 24- He Lost

Written by Euphrosyne


"Hey, don't worry so much about it. The headmasters know you, and given the circumstances-"

Chloe walked across the suite, examining the sweat suit in her hands. "Don't listen to Sin, Rye, she's too nice. Vivinne DeCourte eh? I'll remember that name. Didn't she look like a model for birth control!" The blonde shuddered before sneering at the track pants. "Hmph, amazing. You leave something in your closet for awhile and it shrinks two sizes…"

There was laughter.

"Vivinne, eh? Now there's someone who fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." Coolly, Scarlett dipped her celery stick while flipping the pages of the daily paper.

Maeve rolled her eyes and passed Riley the eggs. The captain began preparing the cutlery while the president battered up breakfast. "Sitric Academy was it?

A glass suddenly hit the floor. All eyes turned to Riley who looked up with equal surprise. She clenched her wrist under the counter. "Sorry guys. I think the stress is getting to me, the headmaster's lecture, our game today-"

"No need for the apologies, Rye, I think I should be the one saying sorry. Have no idea what got into me yesterday, suggesting us to compete in the Eurasia tournament like that. It's my fault you got-"

"Were you trying to impress a certain Gen-X captain, Maeve?" Rin giggled behind a cushion.

The young girl's question went ignored.

"Here, I'll help you two out with breakfast. I'm not competing today anyways. Computer analysis's a breeze." Sin stood from her seat.

"Scarlett, I thought you said you were meeting some boy in the morning. Aren't you going to be late?"

The Chinese girl shrugged. "Can't be late if you don't show up. Besides, don't wanna go out this close to a competition. I prefer victory sex anyways."

The girls rolled their eyes at their friend.


Maeve examined the quiet Vietnamese girl. They were five minutes into the battle and still, neither muttered a single word. Rin and Sasha had taken the doubles; this match would guarantee their advancement. The captain never liked prolonging simple tasks; Scarlett will thrill the audience with her hearty attitude.

"X-2, finish her off!" The metallic green blade obliged, rushing towards the black stallion as the other summoned her Wing Blades attack.

Negaseus flew out of the dish; the crowd began cheering. Both women walked towards the centre, acknowledging the other with a bow. They returned to their designated benches. Not a sound was further uttered.

"You're really boring, Maeve." The red streaked girl rose to the stands, spinning the ruby blade at the tip of her finger. Scarlett snatched the blade with her hand; her fingerless gloves calling for her to battle. "I have the entertainment cut out now. I'll sizzle the audience, no worries."

"Remember, no bitbeast manifestations this early in the tournament. Gen-X regulations."

"Yadda yadda, got it." The Asian swung her hair over her shoulder and flashed a pearly smile. The masses howled with excitement.

"Scarlett, baby. You didn't show up for our morning date. I was disappointed." Dramatically, Benji swooned.

His hair was the feature that caught her attention in the first place; black in the back, red locks in the front, an off-the-street version of her own. The boy's ruby bangs however, they were identical in hue to a particular Scottish blader…

"Honey, if you win this match, I'll make it up to you tonight."

She passed up the laughter at the lie.

On call, the boy's blade began attacking. Within seconds the majestic raven was summoned, striking with Night Sky. A cloud of black smoke spiralled the dish.

"Scarlett's gaming a little close there, isn't she?" Tala leaned forward at the tension.

"Give her a few more minutes, she enjoys the struggle. Once she twirls those strands of hair around her finger with a scared pouty look, she'll end it.

As the words escaped Johnny's lips, the exact expression crossed the screen.

Benji's eyes widened with astonishment as Knight flew out of the dish.

The Chinese beauty yawned ever so cutely. "I'm predicting an unbalanced relationship Benji, I think I might be too superior for you." She strutted off the stage, casually blowing kisses to her fans.

"Good call, Johnny! What did you do, stock her then memorize her moves?"

Silence answered the question. The Majestic captain crossed his arms with defence. "No."

"Ladies and gents! So Azn4 has taken the battle over team Ac. Put your hands together as our reigning champions, Gen-X's Team A take on Satan's Angels!"

"Well, there's an interesting line up for you, Kenny. Tai and Riley gaming doubles?" Ray shouted over the raving applause.

"Strategic if you're an elite. Tai and Riley are both recognized bladers in the singles, weaker in doubles, vice versa for Chloe and Ash. Guess when you're at a national level such as they are, risks can be taken to strengthen those weaknesses."

Kai narrowed his eyes at the bladers.

It happened so quickly, the Mizzarra twins didn't even have time to register it themselves. All four blades were launched, but just at the four were to meet in mid air, a web of black shot from one, a cloud of white following seconds later, immaculating the dish.

Cliona and Racheal's blades shone by their feet.

"Wow! That has to be the fastest match ever! Even after years of seeing that move, I still can't figure it out. Give a hand for these four outstanding bladers!"

The two dark haired teens did their signature shake then embraced each other in a fit of giggles. Riley loved that move, got the audience every time!

"Kenny, did you catch that?" The glasses bearing boy wanted to nod but sighed with frustration. "Dizzi caught it on screen but it's going to take awhile before results are formulated. The speed and layers of the attack are at impossible scales!"

As expected, the two Gen-X blondes took their individual matches with ease.

Team Sitric was next, the third ranked team.

Those sons of a bitches.

"Whoa, tense down Kai. Boris is an alumni, he doesn't attend high school anymore…though it would be nice to kick his nerdy little hiney…"

"No, it's just, there's something familiar about the captain," Kai squinted at the preppy teen who, for a few seconds, had pinpointed eye contact in return.

"Ray," Mariah coxed her boyfriend who was currently shooting daggers at the Galeon blader.

"Can't believe Kevin's battling for that bastard."

The first two battles had been close but in the end were claimed by the prestigious academy. Lee was sent to a state of nostalgia. Leianna took centre stage.

"Come on big boy, it's your turn now. Stand up." The English accent stung the boy's ears. He couldn't grasp reality, his team was illuminated, and this early in the game! All those strategies for the finals, all gone to waste, all for nothing.

The Chinese boy gripped his launcher and focused his gaze. His target was standing right in front of him.

"3, 2, 1, let it rip!"

Thunderous sparks reflected off the dish. Galeon ran laps around the crystal blade, preparing to claw the siren to shreds. An easy victory.

"Thelchtereia, Deadly Enchantment!"

Lee's defence was shattered to pieces. The burly male fell to his knees from the rout.

Ray rose to his feet at the sight, Mariah clutching his arm with a hand cross her mouth. "I can't believe it…"

The amber-eyed boy exhaled with disbelief. "…Lee, he…he lost."
