By: DestinyBabee

As the next couple round zoomed by for the Bladebreakers, the more confident most of them were of winning the entire tournament. However, Mr Fickinson had just informed the team that the Black Panthers were definitely a team not to under-estimate. So as always, Kenny begins his mad research on the team will the other either slack off or train.

While the others were doing so, Serenity was in her room pacing back and forth in her room wearing only a tube top and a mini denim shirt, she confused about Kai's Dranzer.

*FLASHBACK*

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. 'What's going on?!'

"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.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"It's just immpossible! How can there be two Dranzers??!" Serenity shouted out loud.

*knock* *knock*

"Serenity, are you alrite?" Ray knocked outside.

"Huh?... Uh.. yeah! Hang on.." Serenity quickly put on a zip up sweater to cover herself, and opened the door. "Yes?"

"Sorry, am I bothering you?" Ray asked.



"Uh.. No, no..not at all! I was jsut thinking about our next match that's all." She lied.

"I thought I heard some yelling so I can to check up on you."

"I see." She mentally cursed herself for being so loud.

"You seem troubled.. What's the matter? Maybe I can help." Ray offered.

"Thanks Ray... But I don't think anyone can help me with this one." She replied.

"Alrite, but if you ever need anything.. you know who to go to." Ray smiled.

"Thanks.." There was a ouple seconds silence. "Do you know how long Kai has had his Dranzer?"

Ray thought it was strange that Serenity was asking about Dranzer than Kai, but he thought nothing of it since it still has something to do with Kai, he jsut assumed she wanted to get to know him more.

"Well.. to my knowledge.. since forever. But a couple years ago, he DID abandon Dranzer for dark Dranzer, if you count that."

"Dark.. Dranzer..??"

"Yeah, it had something to do with his grandfather and Boris. It's a really long story." Ray said.

"Would you mind telling me?" Serenity pleaded.

"Uh.. Sure." replied Ray. 'Maybe she IS interested in Kai after all..'

***************

"Sir, your guest has arrived." The servant bowed in front of a a large desk, behind the desk was a shadowed chair that had been turn around with a man sitting in it. There was also a tall purple hair man with a mask on his face standing next to the desk, who was none other than Boris.

"Bring him in." Boris commanded.



"Yes sir."

A few minutes later, a young boy about Kai's age walked in.

"Glad you decided to take my offer boy.. You'll make a great addition to my troops." The man int he chair said with a smirk.

"I won't fail you like those fools." The light brown hair boy said.

"Let's hope not, kid. For your reputations sake." Boris said.

"Don't worry, I'd be more than happy to get my revenge on Serenity Faith!" The boys smirked evilly.

"Good.. Bring him to the Black Panthers at once!" The man in the chair said, as he turned his chair around revealing his face.

"Yes, Master Voltaire." Boris bowed and left the room with the mysterious boy.

***************

"And that's how it happened." Ray finished off.

"Wow.. I never knew that Kai betrayed you guys like that," Serenity replied somewhat shock.

"Well, you can't blaim it all on him. Boris's influence clouded his judgement, and I'm sure he'd never let something like that happen again, so don't hold a grudge against him okay?"

"What?! Who said I held a grudge against him, afterall, nobody's perfect right? We all make mistakes." Serenity re-assured.

"yeah, well I better get aback to my room now. Good night."Ray waved and left.

"Goodnight.." Serenity sighed. "Well I guess that answers my question about there being 2 Dranzers.."

***************

Boris and the boy opened the door to the Black Panthers hotel room.

"What'd ya call us here for, Boris?" Ryan said placing his hands on his hips as he got up from the sofa.

"Yeah, we need our sleep ya now!" Thao added.

"Master Voltaire thought that you bumbling idiots can't handle your mission so he sent another kid to help you fools out." Boris replied.

"We have everything under control so you can the kid back!" Jason answered.

"Well you don't have a choice! Come in here kid!" Boris ordered. A boy walked out from behind Boris with a smirk.

"I'm Stephen."

All 5 members looked equally shocked as the others. "You're Serenity's ex!"
