Chapter 15: Truth Revealed and Evil Awakened

Yeah, it was me. I was Mystic. But it wasn't like I wanted to… I never wanted to hurt Kai, Ray, and everyone else. But it was too late for that. I could see it in their eyes that they hated me right now, I couldn't blame them.

"Serenity, you bitch. How could you have done that to us?" Kai asked me.

"It wasn't like I wanted to do this! And I'm not a bitch!" I yelled back.

"You sure seem like one."

"Kai, You have to believe me. I never wanted to hurt you, any of you." I looked at G-Revolution. The more I looked at them, the more I wanted to cry, but I never did. I couldn't stand to see the hatred in their eyes. But something inside of me didn't care. Something inside of me wanted to beat Kai and win. I knew too well what that was, it was my "father's" influence on me. I knew it was there, deep inside of me, but I never thought it would come out.

"Kai, listen to me. I never wanted this to happen. None of this. And I'm sorry if you got hurt-"

"Who got hurt? Do you really think that I cared about you? Well newsflash, I never did."

KAI? He- He's lying, right? He has to be lying. He just has to be….

"Serenity, none of us cared about you. Right, guys?" Kai asked G-Revolution. I looked at them, and they nodded yes to Kai's question. Ray then came out. He somewhat froze when the saw me, "Serenity, when this is over, I want you to leave. We all do. You crossed the line. After this match ends, I want you out of my life." Kai said with coldness in his voice and in his eyes.

"Please, Kai, no. Please tell me you don't mean it… Please…" I said, it was getting harder for me to breathe, and my heart was beating faster.

"Serenity… I mean every word of it."

"See, Serenity. I told you they'd hurt you. I told you they'd lie to you. And I told you that Kai was going to break your heart. And now that's what you have, a broken spirit and a broken heart." Boris said into my ear piece.

"Shut up, Boris" just above a whisper, "Shut up. JUST SHUT UP!" I yelled. Everyone was a bit taken a back by my sudden yelling. I suddenly felt a surge of energy run through my body. I felt my self become evil, controlled by evil. My happy memories, the moments with Kai (our kiss, our date, when we bladed, the bets we made), my moments with Ray (our kiss, our talks), and the moments with everyone in G-Revolution, were gone. Only the bad memories that were almost forgotten stayed with me; the times my father made me do intense training, the beatings he gave me, and now, how Kai broke my heart. I closed my eyes and tried to put the memories back inside me, I head my head and knelt down. Harpie suddenly started to spin faster and purplish-black smoke started coming out of her. It engulfed me, and I felt the evil become stronger. I knew I couldn't win, I knew I couldn't hold it back, so I gave into it. There was nothing else I could do…

"Serenity?" Ray called in to the smoke.

"Serenity, if your trying to hide, it won't work. You'll still lose this match! Dranzer! Attack!" Kai comanded.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You think I'm hiding? From a weakling like you? I think not." I said from with in the smoke, but the voice sounded a bit different from mine. A blade then hit Dranzer, but it didn't look like Harpie, who's color was a brown-tan. This blade's color was black, and blood red….

"Wha- What happened to Harpie?" Ray asked.

"That is Harpie. Only she changed, like I did. She became evil. Now, she's Demonic Harpie." I informed. The smoke then faded and I was visible again. Only I looked a bit different. My eyes became dramasticly diffrent, instead of the red-orange color that held remorse and regretment, my eyes were now full of anger and hate, which was very visible in my blood red eyes… My face that once held sadness, was now full of wickedness.

"S- Serenity? What happened to you?" Ray asked.

"Serenity? Oh, yes… my weaker half. I'm not the Serenity you know. I'm way better than her, and much, much stronger than her." I said.

"Where is she then?" Kai asked, hiding the fact that he actually wanted to know.

"Why do you care? If I remember correctly, you're the reason I was able to come out. So, I guess I have to thank you."

"And how am I the reason?"

"Well, you're not the whole reason, but you gave her that push she needed to let me out. Her dad gave the most reasons. Right, father?"

"Right. I guess you could say I was the reason." Boris said.

"YOU'RE HER FATHER!" everyone yelled, even BEGA.

"Yes, I am her father. And you see-"

I pushed him out of my head. I mean who'd want to listen to him? After a few minutes of him talking none stop, I decided to put a stop to it,

"Hey, dad. Don't you think you talk too much? Maybe someone should shut you up! Demonic Harpie, do your stuff!" suddenly Demonic Harpie started to spin faster and again produced purplish-black smoke. As Demonic Harpie began spinning faster and faster, the smoke grew. Then D. Harpie released it in the form of a spike, and the spike headed towards Boris. He was able to doge it, but not fast enough and I grazed his shoulder.

"You ungrateful little brat-" Boris started as he held his shoulder.

"Ungrateful? Definitely. But a little brat? I think not." I told Boris. I laughed evilly as I saw him wince in pain, "Hmm… I'm bored. Maybe I should have some fun, with Dranzer. Demonic Harpie, let's show the weakling how to have fun, while beating your opponent." Demonic Harpie then started towards Dranzer.

"Do you think I'm gonna stand there and let you hit me?" Kai asked, getting ready to command Dranzer to doge.

"Umm… Kai? You see, you really don't have a choice on the matter."

"We'll see about that. Dranzer, doge and counter!"

"When will he ever learn? Demonic Harpie, use Shadow of Eyes!" Suddenly a red mist started to eluminate from Demonic Harpie. It spread through the bey stadium and then it dissapreared.

"Was that supossed to hurt Dranzer? Or was it just to scare me?" Kai asked, Demonic Harpie resumed her way to Dranzer, but Dranzer hadn't moved, "Dranzer! Doge and counter!" Kai commanded. Dranzer just stood, well, more like spinned, in place. Demonic Harpie then made contact with Dranzer, and Dranzer was nearly thrown out of the bey stadium.

"That's not even a fraction of what I've got." I said, smirking evilly.

"What did you do to Dranzer? Why didn't he move?" Kai asked, glaring daggers at me.

"That's one of Demonic Harpie's special attacks, 'Shadow of Eyes.' It stops any blade from doing any defensive moves, and only permits the blade to attack. It affects even the most powerful of blades, like Dranzer."

"Grr…."

I laughed evilly again. It was fun to torment Kai, real fun. I kept a smirk on my face during most of the battle, and I laughed when Kai tried to attack me, but would always fail.

"Hey, you never told us what happened to Serenity. Well, the Serenity we knew!" Ray suddenly asked.

"Ray, you can't reach her. She's too lost to be saved." I said.

"I still want to know!"

"I think we all do." Kai said.

"You want to see her?"

"Yes…"

"Fine, I'll take you to her. But don't think you can save her."

Demonic Harpie started to produce that weird mist and it began to fill the bey stadium and the entire arena. The only thing that was heard was me laughing evilly. Somehow, everyone in G-Revolution was knocked out.

"Where are we?" Kenny said as he woke up and rubbed his head.

"I don't know chief." Tyson said as he sat up.

"Where is Serenity?" Hilary asked as she helped Tyson get up.

"Wait, is that Serenity?" Kenny asked pointing to someone.

Then, without warning, Kai ran to where Kenny was pointing.

"Kai! Come Back!" Tyson shouted.

"I thought he didn't care about Serenity." Tala said.

"Looks like he does." Max said, helping Julia up.

"Let's follow him, maybe we can find a way out." Tyson said.

And maybe we'll find Serenity… Ray thought.

MacchiNightmares: Wow… who would've thought that Mystic was Serenity?

Macchi: I knew it all along!

Mari: You did, Macchi? Mari just found out.

M.N.: Mari, you should know better than to listen to Macchi, she always lies about everything.

Macchi: Not this time! I knew all along because of the script I found in your room.

M.N.: MACCHI! GIVE ME THAT SCRIPT NOW!

Macchi: O.O eep… Um.. uh... gotta go, bye! (Starts running off)

M.N.: MACCHI! COME BACK HERE! (runs after Macchi)

Mari: (Shakes her head and looks as MacchiNightmares is about to kill Macchi)
