Chapter 19: White Flag
"Garland? What the hell are you doing here? What do you want?" I asked him, each word filled with venom.
"I just came to see what your doing. And by the way, you look terrible. It's sad to see such a beauty like you with tears in her eyes." Garland said as he stepped towards me. I glared at him and he stopped.
"No, you came to pour salt on my wound. You're happy that I can't go hang out with Kai, Ray, and everyone else. You think you can just barge in here and make me yours, don't you?"
"Heh, you know, you sometimes scare me on how right you always are."
"Whatever. But what you didn't count on, is that I'm leaving. So save your lame pick up lines for some other girl, I'm out of here." I said as I picked up my bag and pushed Garland out of the way.
"And where you gonna go? You know Boris won't let you go so easily."
"I know… But, what he doesn't know, I have ways to make myself 'disappear'."
"Not if I can help it!" Garland then ran in front of me, blocking my path.
"Get. Out. Of. My. Way!" I hissed.
"No…. I won't let you go so easily either! I challenge you to a bey battle, if I win. You have to stay!"
"Fine! But if I win. I can do whatever the hell I want!" I said, pulling my real blade out of my pocket. Kori-Oukami, please help me in this one. /Of course I will! You know I'll never leave you alone!/ Thanks. Garland and I faced each other, blades at the ready.
"Ready, Serenity?"
"Baka, I'm always ready.
"3--- 2--- 1--- Let it rip!" our blades launched as we said these words, and Kori-Oukami had the most force. I knew that I could've beaten Garland in a flash, but the previous battle had taken too much out of me. /Hey, Serenity, will you stop playing with this baka and finish this battle?/ Kori-Oukami said to you. S-sorry… But I'm not playing, the last battle took too much energy out of me… I-I don't think I'm gonna make it after this battle.
"Serenity, I have one question for you." Garland told me.
"And what is that?" I asked him, eyes narrowed.
"Why'd you let Kai win? Why'd you order Harpie to miss?"
"Because I wanted to help him one last time, because after the match I knew I'd never see him again…"
"Why'd ya wanna help that loser? He's nothing but a waist of time."
"He's not a loser! Actually he's way better than you in every way! And… I love him."
oo00oo00oo00oo
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, or tell you that…oo00oo00oo00oo
"You love him! Now that gives me more reason to win! To make his live a living hell!"
"You touch him, or hurt him in any way, and I swear I will hunt you down and make you wish you were never born! Kori-Oukami! Ice Kiss!" I yelled, mad as hell. My baby blue and dark blue beyblade began to glow, and advanced towards Garland's blade. Kori-Oukami, in one swift move, knocked the blade out of the dish. It hit Garland square in the head, knocking him out. I caught my blade, and stumbled back a bit. I turned around and started to walk back to the cave, but my vision started to get blurry, and my knees started to give away. As I fell, I remember hearing a familiar voice…
"Serenity!" someone yelled as they caught me…
oo00oo00oo00oo
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be…

/G-Revolution's P.O.V./
Kai and everyone else celebrated the win, but only Ray noticed something was missing. He instantly knew what it was, Serenity. He was missing her, but he knew that she had betrayed them, and he knew that it just wouldn't be the same. He looked to BEGA, and saw them being scolded by Boris. Hiro, Garland, and Serenity were no were in site. He knew it was probably for the best that she left, but something didn't feel right to him, he felt as though she gave up the match, that she let Kai win. But how to prove it…
"Chief, did you record the match?" Ray asked Kenny.
"Yeah…" Kenny said.
"Can I see it?"
"Sure." He then pulled out the camcorder and started to play the match.
"Fast forward it to the end." Kenny did as Ray told, but he still wasn't sure of the Chinese boy's intentions. As Ray looked on to the video, his suspicions were conformed.
"Hey guys!" Ray told everyone.
"What's up Ray?" Tyson asked.
"It's Serenity, I just found out something."
"Whatever it is, we don't care to listen." Kai said harshly, but Ray knew that it was just a front.
oo00oo00oo00oo
I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again,
oo00oo00oo00oo
"Look Kai, I know she hurt you, she hurt all of us! But it wasn't like she meant it, she didn't have a choice!"
"She had a choice to tell us!"
"And why do you think she didn't? She was afraid that she'd loose us! And I think she had good reason to!"
"What was it you wanted to tell us, Ray?" Hillary asked, before a fight broke out.
"You didn't win the fight like you thought, Kai. Serenity let you win. And don't tell me she didn't, because all the proof is in this video." As Ray said these words, G-Revolution huddled together to see the video. After they saw it, and saw that Serenity did throw the match, everyone was silent.
oo00oo00oo00oo
And I caused but nothing but trouble, I understand if you can't talk to me again
oo00oo00oo00oo
"We have to go find her." Julia said, to break the silence. Everyone nodded and started to run outside. When they reached the entrance, they stopped, for they had found her beyblade on the floor. Angel stepped forward to pick it up.
"Carmen… you don't think…" Angel started.
"Guys, we have to find her, and quick." Carman said, beginning to sound a bit nervous.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Serenity?" Max asked.
"No, nothing happened to her, but we have to find her quick, before she leaves!"
"She's leaving!" Everyone asked.
"Yes! Now lets split up and find her!" Everyone nodded again and split up. Tyson and Hilary went together, Max and Julia went together. Daichi and Carmen went together, Kenny and Angel went together, leaving Kai and Ray.
"What happened Kai? I thought you hated her? Or are you having second thoughts because you found out she didn't really betray us?" Ray asked as he walked with Kai.
"I just want to talk to her. But I'm not going to want her back."
oo00oo00oo00oo
And if you live by the rules of "It's over", then I'm sure that that makes senseoo00oo00oo00oo
"Anyway, where do you think she is?"
"I have an idea, she was there the last time she left."
Ray followed Kai as he started to run. They ran and ran until they reached the beach, near a tree. Kai and Ray looked around, but found no signs of Serenity. They were about to leave until they heard the familiar sound of blades colliding. The two boys looked at each other, and silently agreed to find the source. Not long after, they saw two people blading, one of them was Garland and the other was…
"Serenity." Both boys said at the same time. The battle looked to be almost over since both of them looked worn out.
"Serenity, I have one question for you." Kai and Ray heard Garland ask.
"And what is that?" Serenity answered him.
"Why'd you let Kai win? Why'd you order Harpie to miss?"
"Because I wanted to help him one last time, because after the match I knew I'd never see him again…"
"Why'd ya wanna help that loser? He's nothing but a waist of time."
"He's not a loser! Actually he's way better than you in every way! And… I love him."
oo00oo00oo00oo
Well, I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be
oo00oo00oo00oo
"You love him! Now that gives me more reason to win! To make his live a living hell!"
"You touch him, or hurt him in any way, and I swear I will hunt you down and make you wish you were never born! Kori-Oukami! Ice Kiss!" Serenity yelled, her voice filled with anger. As the boys saw Serenity's blade spin faster and faster, they quickly started running over there. They saw Serenity catch her blade and stumble back a little. As she walked to what seemed to be a cave, she began to fall.
"Serenity!" Kai yelled as he caught her.
"Kai?" I asked, unaware if it was a good meeting or a bad one. I thought that when I'd see him again, if I ever did, he'd held hate in his eyes, but I could only see concern, and worry. And I thought that I would be filled with regret and be ashamed of what I did, but I only held more love for Kai.
oo00oo00oo00oo
And when we meet, as I'm sure we will, all that was there, will be there still. I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue, and you will think that I've moved on.
oo00oo00oo00oo
"Serenity, are you alright?" Kai asked me. I couldn't speak, I was too weak, but I nodded. My chest quickly rose up and down, and I felt I didn't have enough air to breathe, but I kept myself calm.
"Serenity!" I looked to the side and found everyone else from G-Revolution, as well as Angel, Carman, Alistar, and Valon.
"H-Hey guys…" I said weakly, more and more strength leaving me. None of them said anything, but they looked on worriedly.
"Serenity… is it true? What you told Garland?" Kai whispered to me.
"About loving you?" Kai nodded, "Yes, I-it's true. That's why I hated doing what I did. Agh!" I yelled as my whole body started to get cold. "K-Kai… I don't think I'm gonna make it… I feel so cold." I told him.
He stared at me with shock. "No… no, you're gonna be alright. I promise."
"Kai… if history to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh."
"No, I can't lose you… When I found out you were Mystic, I just couldn't believe it. I had thought you played us, and never really cared, but when Ray showed me the video… my heart just melted again. I couldn't hate you, be cause I knew that deep in my heart I loved you."
"Kai, no matter what happens, I'll always be with you. I'll always look after you, because I know where to find my heart, I know that it will always be with you."
"Serenity…"
"I love you, Kai. See you on the other side…" I felt my strength completely leave me, and eternal darkness take over me…
oo00oo00oo00oo
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be…
