Chapter 13: Battling 'enemies'

"You know something about her, don't you? I could tell by the tone of your voice." Hiro said, looking at the masked girl.

Mystic slammed her looker door at he words and turned around to face him. She then grabbed his collar, pulled him down to her height, and told him, "I don't know shit about that girl. So don't ask." She then pushed him to the locker as she walked out the door.

"She knows something… other wise she wouldn't have done that." Hiro thought out loud.

/With G-Revolutions: Kai's P.O.V./

Tyson had just beat Brooklyn, so the battle was tied. And now the tie breaking match was about to begin, the mysterious and deadly Mystic, vs. the calm and cool Kai.

"Kai the faster you beat Mystic, the faster we can look for Serenity." Tyson told his team mate.

"Whatever, Tyson." Kai said.

"Will the bladers for round six please step up to the bey stadium."

Kai stood up and walked to the stadium, but the blader for BEGA wasn't there yet.

"If the contestant for BEGA does not show up in the next 30 seconds, BEGA will lose by forfeit."

Heh, looks like I won't have to battle anyone after all. Kai thought. Suddenly, out of the BEGA locker rooms, someone was emerging, a girl. You couldn't see her very clearly because of the shadows she was in. The first thing you saw right was her feet, she had black knee high boots. Next came her skirt, it stopped at her thighs and was all black. She had on a black tube top with a violet jacket on. Her face wasn't visible because of the mask she was wearing; it covered all of her left side of her face except the eye and half of the right side of her face. The left side of the mask was black wit a single tear under the eye and the mouth into a frown, the right side was purple with the mouth into a smile. Her eyes were full of anger and hatred, but there was a hint of regretment and remorse. She stepped up to the bey stadium and faced Kai.

"So you're the one I have to battle, this'll be a piece of cake." Kai said and he readied his launcher.

"Kai, you really shouldn't blot if you haven't won the match. You never know what will happen till it happens." Mystic told him coolly.

Her voice sound familiar, Kai thought, and I've heard those words before… but where?

"3, 2, 1."

"Let it rip!" Mystic and Kai both yelled and launched their blades. The blades hit each other, and with such a force that it sent a shock wave to the audience.

Whoa… she's powerful… but I can still beat her.

"Come on Dranzer! You can take her!"

"Yeah, right! Harpie! Attack!"

Wait! Harpie! Isn't that one of Serenity's bit beast? …No, wait, Serenity has Shadow Harpie, Metal Harpie, and Metal Shadow Harpie. But, still… Mystic is somehow familiar…

"Hey, Kai? You gonna blade or daydream all day?" Mystic asked.

"Grrr… Shut up!" Kai snapped.

"Heh, looks like someone's moody."

"You would be too if you'd lost someone important to you!"

/Mystic's P.O.V./

"You would be too if you'd lost someone important to you?" Kai shouted at Mystic.

'Lost someone important'? Wait, Could he be talking about-

"Now's who's daydreaming?" Kai asked interrupting Mystic's thoughts.

"Grr…"

"Mystic, answer me this: why do you remind me of a girl by the name Serenity Taylor? Do you know her?"

"What the hell does that have to do with our fucking match? Just shut up blade!"

"Hey, Mystic. Why don't you stop toying with him and end this thing already?" Garland said from the bench with everyone else on BEGA's team.

"Shut up Garland! And mind your own fucking business!"

During the battle, neither blade wanted to lose. Kai started seeing that Mystic wasn't attacking, only blocking and dodging, "What's the matter Mystic? Afraid that even if you try your hardest, you won't be able to beat me?" Kai asked with a smirk.

"I'm not afraid that I won't beat you… I'm afraid that I will…" Mystic says just above a whisper so no one heard. As the fierce battle went on, Mystic's mask started to crack from the pressure of the battle. No! This can't be happening! They can't find out…

"Mystic, I know you're stronger than this. You were the first one to finish at the qualifying rounds. So stop toying with me and battle me for real!" Kai shouted.

"Shut up!" Mystic yelled back, "Just shut up!" suddenly the entire right side of her mask broke apart. Just then Dranzer attacked Harpie and made contact.

"Heh, looks like I just found your weak spot. If I destroy that mask you're wearing, I'll probably be able to beat you." Kai said.

"Ha! You think that'll beat her! Yeah right!" garland said.

"Shut up!" Both Mystic and Kai shouted.

/G-Revolution's P.O.V./

When Ray saw Mystic come out of the locker rooms, wheels started turning in his head. She was so familiar, but how? Ray didn't know the answer.

"You never know what happens till it happens."

More wheels started turning in his head at her voice. There was something there…

So familiar… but from where… I've seen her before so how do I remember her?

He examined her once again, starting from her feet. Her figure and built looked familiar, Ray knew that. Her raven black hair was also familiar, but it was missing something. Ray then looked in to Mystic's eyes… He knew those eyes! The red-orange color of them reminded him so much like Serenity's eyes. In fact, they looked almost identical. But Mystic's eyes held so much hate and anger, while Serenity's eyes held…

Wait, Serenity's eyes did hold anger and hatred, but it was barely noticeable… There's no way Mystic can be Serenity. I- It's probably a coincidence… Yeah, that's what it is: a coincidence…

MacchiNightmares: Sorry it took so long. I had some problems back stage… Well, just a recap on the problems: Serenity has REALLY disappeared, Ming-Ming won't stop bugging me, some of the characters aren't happy, and Kai and Tao Ren are STILL arguing, over what I have no idea. So again, sorry! Please send in those REVIEWS!
