Chapter Six: Yuna's revenge

Yuna woke up before anybody else did, and she took advantage of the earlyness to go outside and clear her mind. She got out of bed, and grabbed her jacket to go outside, careful not to wake up her mother, or Anna. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind as she wandered through the hallways of the hotel, looking for something...anything to get her mind off of her match with Telda today. She was scared, nervous, and she didn't want to wake up Ren. So she just walked. she finally reached outside where it was still slightly dark, but bright enough to see where everything was. It was quiet. The crickets were chirping, and she could hear the wind in the trees. But nothing could calm her nerves. She temporarily closed her eyes, letting the wind blow her now short hair. Yuna jumped and snapped her eyes open as she felt a pair of arms make their way up her body, finally stopping at her shoulders. She turned around to see a pair of golden orbs staring at her.

"Ren...?" she asked. "what are you doing up?"

"I couldn't sleep." he simply stated. "Horo snores too loud."

Yuna laughed and stared back at the sky, Ren's arms still around her. She shivered as she felt the wind get colder. Ren took her hand in his and led her towards the hotel.

"Where are we going..?" Yuna asked, rubbing her face with her free hand for warmth.

"Back to the hotel..." Ren answered. "You don't want to catch a cold.."

"Oh..."

...3 hours later...

"WAAAAAAAAKEEE UPPPPPPPP!" Horo yelled. Yoh groaned and shifted under his covers as Samona fell off onto the floor. Kororo emerged from under Horo's blanket, rubbing one of her eyes.

"Morning..." Samona muttered. "Is breakfast done...?"

"Not yet, Ryu's cooking it now..." Horo replied. Samona blinked the last bit of sleep out of his eyes and looked at Horo..

"...You guys go ahead and eat...Today is Yuna's big day and we've got to be there to cheer her on..."

...Mean while...back in Yuna's room...

Yuna sat on her bed, combing her hair. She reached over and grabbed a nearby black shirt to put on. She wore the same blue sweatpants she wore when she first moved to Japan, along with some sandals Anna picked out for her. One they were ready, Yuna grabbed her staff and left with her mother and Anna and met the guys in the lobby.

"Today is your match with Telda, Yuna. How do you feel?" Manta asked, his hand imitating a microphone.

"Um...confident, scared, and above all, nervous. I'm not even sure if I can win even though I went into the tunnel." Yuna scratched the back of her head. She curiously looked around her, but didn't see Ren.

"Hey, uh...where's Ren..?" she asked.

"Oh, last time I saw him, he was taking a shower, he should be down in a little while." Yoh smiled.

...In the shower...

Ren stood in the shower, letting the hot water sooth his tired muscles. He leaned his tired head against the wall.

I've got to do it eventually...what harm could it bei?

Yuna saw Ren emerge from the hallway, his hair still a little wet.

"Shall we go?"

"Okay..."

They walked to the nearby park where Yuna had her first match with Telda. The ground was dry ever since it rained. Telda was waiting for her. She was sitting on a nearby boulder, her arrow strapped to her arm. Yuna shivered slightly but regained her courage as she took a step closer.

"So, I see you didn't forfeit your match yet..." Telda started.

"No...why would I..? I'm not going to lose to you..." Yuna said. Telda immediantly started laughing afterwards. Yuna's expression darkened, her eyes slightly glowing under the shadow of her face. Ren's eyes widened a little in shock.

What the!

Still smirking, Telda engaged her oversoul as the countdown for the fight began. Yuna pulled out her staff, her expression still darkened.

"Minna!"

((Here!))

"Oversoul!" Yuna yelled as she engaged her oversoul. There was a blinding flash of light, making everyone shield their eyes. It was certainly impressive, her oversoul that is. It was huge, all of her mana concentrated on the tip, making a makeshift blade. Everyone stared in awe at her new improvement. But Yuna's expression didn't change. The oracle pager beeped for the start of the fight soon after.

(A/N: When I made this battle scene, I was listening to "breaking the habit" by Linkin Park. You can try listening to it while you read this, but you don't hafta...toodles...)

Yuna closed her eyes slightly, walking towards Telda. Her oversoul was remarkable, which made Telda think ttwice about the question she asked earlier. She finally reached a few feet away from her, and opened her eyes. Her eyes glowed a brighter shade of blue as she smirked, her oversoul growing. It blew her hair away from her face, showing both glowing eyes. Finally snapping out of it, Telda pointed her arrows at Yuna and fired. Yuna jumped, making the arrows miss, and almost hit Yoh. Yoh ducked out of the way just in time. Yuna was now in the air, swirling her staff around like Ren would do his kwan dow. She finally reached Telda, landing a blow on her shoulder, sending her flying. Yuna landed with ease, wiping the blood away from her face from the cut she got when she dodged Telda's arrows. Ren looked on in disbelief as Yuna began to pummel the ground with each step she took towards Telda.

"Wow...Yuna's mana sure has improved, huh Ren..?" Yoh asked, looking at Ren, who was too busy watching the fight. "Uh, Ren..?"

Ren looked at Yoh. "Oh, uh...yeah."

Yuna grabbed Telda by the shirt, pulling her to her feet. Using part of her mana, she threw Telda up into the air swinging her staff, as Telda came down. Yuna jumped up and Telda took the opprotunity to shoot one of her arrows at Yuna. Yuna quickly made an attempt to dodge at the last moment, the arrow grazing her arm which held the staff. Blood stained her oracle pager as she made a swift kick to Telda's side, sending her even faster into the ground. Telda coughed up blood as she regained her posture, but Yuna was right there, sending a devastating blow to her arm with her staff. Telda clutched her arm, yelling out in pain. It was obviously broken, because you could hear the loud crack.

"What is she doing, Yoh?" Manta asked. "This isn't like Yuna at all..."

"No...it isn't. If she continues like this, she'll kill her..." Yoh said. He looked around for the officiant, but there wa no sign of him. He must have been hiding somewhere. Yoh cursed under his breath, and looked over to Ren, who was staring at Yuna with disbelief. She was cut, bruised, and pummled, but she kept on going. It was almost as if she was...no!

Ren's eyes widened as he saw Yuna's expression. It was one unlike he's ever seen before. Her eyes were glowing alot, and blood was all over her arms and legs. Her pantlegs were ripped and her face had a few minor cuts on it. But her expression... she was...laughing? and smiling? does she not feel pain. Surely the blow to the arm would've done something to her, but...nothing. Telda's mana was low-almost gone, but she kept on fighting. Yuna was getting pretty low on mana herself.

This isn't like Yuna at all...I got to do something...Ren said, looking over at Yoh, then at Yuna. she was by Telda, who was on her knees with barely any oversoul left. Yuna grabbed her staff, her eyes glowing dangerously. Ren's eyes widened as he saw Yuna raise her staff above Telda's head.

"Now it's your turn to die..." Yuna said. Telda screwed her eyes shut in fear, making no sudden movements, not daring to move an inch and use up the rest of her mana. She had a bad wound on her leg, and couldn't stand anyway. Yuna laughed and brought the staff down to Telda's head, and would've killed her...

...if Ren didn't stop her at the last moment...

...End of chapter...
