The True Meaning of Love

Chapter 14 -

"Hmphh, well I guess I'll have the honor of taking that title away from you!" Jasmine replied, as she too set up her pink blade on her launcher.

"Don't get so confident just yet." Serenity answered, and held out her blade in front of her.

"3..2..1.. LET IT RIP!!!"

The blades were launched quickly, as they both landed lightly in the dish. Jasmine's blade immediately headed straight towards Serenity's blade. Jasmine laughed cockly, as her pink blade hit Serenity's black and white blade head on. Jasmine looked up, and noticed that Serenity didn't seem the least bit worried.

"You're going to have to better then that!" Serenity stated, as she crossed her arms. "Dralexiel, let her chase you down. GO!!"

Her blade immediately obeyed, as it gracefully raced around the dish a couple times. Jasmine's eyes widened, as Serenity's blade completely disappeared, while it was circling the dish. She tried to find it with her eyes, but she had no luck.

"What is she doing!?" Tyson yelled, as he tried to find Dralexiel in the sand.

"She's using the sand somehow to her advantage." Kenny replied, "and it looks like she's doing a good job. Jasmine's blade is just spinning there unsure of what to do"

"I would be too if I were in her position!" stated Max, as he continued to keep his eyes on Serenity.

Kai was also watching the battle with a great amount of interest, especially Serenity. 'Impressive..' Kai thought to himself, as he sat with his arms crossed. Kai couldn't help but keep his eyes focused on her, as images began racing through his mind again. He shook his head, as he tried to shake them off. He knew that there was definietly something that he felt towards this girl, but he wouldn't admit it... just yet.

"You're very clever, Serenity." Kai suddenly said, as the others looked at him. "But, how do you plan on attacking her when even YOU can't even see your own blade!?"

Serenity turned her head, and looked directly at Kai. "Are you worried about me losing?!" Serenity asked, as her eyes met his. She noticed that his eyes were faltering slightly, as she gave him a little wink. "Don't worry Kai, I know what I'm doing." Serenity replied, as she couldn't help but smile. She noticed that Kai's cheeks had turned the slightest shade of red. She just smiled. She knew that something happened to him during their camping trip, but she had no idea that it would change his attitude towards her. Serenity shrugged, as she turned her attention back to her opponent.

"You know he's right. ATTACK ME!" Jasmine replied, as she smiled happily. "You don't even know where your own blade is right now!"

"You sound so sure of yourself just because you can't see it doesn't mean that goes for me too!" Serenity replied.

"Impossible!" Jasmine replied, looking worried.

"We'll see if it's impossible or not.." Serenity muttered.

"NOW!" Serenity yelled. All of a sudden, a sandstorm began to form in the dish. Serenity's blade had been spinning and so fast it was nearly invisible, so fast you couldn't even see the tracks. Once Serenity gave the order, Dralexiel had release all the energy that had built up, and caused a sand tornado. Strong enough to send Jasmine's blade out of the dish.

"It..It can't be... I lost!" Jasmine fell to her knees, and held her head low in shame.

"Good match." Serenity smiled as she held out her hand with her pink blade in her palm.

"Thanks. I'll definietly win next time." Jasmine smiled.

Serenity nodded.

With that, the two girls both went their separate ways. Serenity quickly sat down beside Max, as she whispered in his ear.

"Use whatever they throw at you to your advantage."

"Gotcha," Max smiled with his thumbs up, as Kai finally stood up and started walking towards the dish.

"Alright, who's up next? I could use some fun!"

Kai slowly made his way up to the dish, and looked into it. 'Piece a cake' he thought, as he scanned the desert like dish. He looked up and noticed a girl with pink hair and yellow streaks facing him. She had it pulled up in a tight ponytail, and she was wearing a black tanktop and black track pants.

"And here's the final match which will determine who goes to the next goes!" announced Brad Best "The bladebreakers choose their team leader Kai. His bit beast Dranzer is defininetly one tough cookie! And on the other side, The Dinosaurs send out their team leader Persilla, who uses a combination of sound and hypnotic illusions to confuse her oppnents."

"3..2..1.. LET IT RIP!!!"

The blades were launched at the same time, as both blades began a race around the dish.

"I'm not like my other teammates." Persilla replied, as she kept her eyes focused on Kai. "I will win at all costs."

Her grey blade immediately raced in circles and soon disappeared. Kai shook his head, she was using Serenity's tactic.

"If you think that getup is going to work on me like it did your teammate, think again!" Kai stated, as his eyes suddenly flared up. "Dranzer, burn the sand around you!"

As the orders were given, his blue blade instantly began to glow. The all too familiar red phoenix flew out of Kai's blade, as it spread its wings with might and power. The crowd was in awe at the magnificent bird, and the bladebreakers watched Dranzer intently, especially Serenity. Her eyes were in complete shock. A million thoughts began racing through her head.

"Serenity, are you okay??" asked Tyson, as he waved his arms in front of her face. "You look like you've seen a ghost!"

"Dranzer?!" Serenity replied, as she continued to stare at the red phoenix. "I thought..."

Flames were thrown up into the air, as the dish was completely covered in smoke. It didn't take long for the smoke to clear, as the entire crowd gasped. The entire desert was completely burnt down to ashes. Among those ashes was Persilla's blade, which had completely stopped spinning.

Kai smirked as he raised his hand, and Dranzer returned.

"THERE YOU HAVE IT!" A.J. Topper yelled, as the crowd continued to cheer. "The BladeBreakers move to the next round!"

The next couple rounds were a piece of cake for the BladeBreakers, as they continued moving up the charts all the way to the finals. A few loses on the way but not enough for them to lose theire place. The Black Panthers have also been successful in there battles. The advanced quickly with very little defeats. The next battle they would be going up against a team they've been plotting against.. It's when there plan will finally take action!
