Percy's P.O.V.

I wake up to a bunch of Blade Bandits...again.

Can't seem to catch a break, heh.

Apparently I'm not where I was when I fell asleep. I seem to be in a warehouse.

Wow, they actually tried to kidnap me.

I burst out laughing at this thought, and one of them notices

"Hey boss, he's awake." he says.

"Oh, so the `boss` decided to show themselves this time?" I say still chuckling.

"Hey who do ya think you are laughing at our bo-" asks a Bandit.

"Nevermind that. And yes I did decide to show myself, Percy." Interrupts a feminine voice.

The Bandits make a path and I see a girl that seems to be about 14 on the other side.

She has gold eyes and royal purple hair that has gold streaks in it that fall to the sides of her face. She's wearing a purple shirt with a blood-red jacket on top and dark purple shorts. She has leggings that have purple stripes on the front. She's wearing two gold straps on her left thigh above her leggings. Her shoes are also blood red with white soles.

She appears to be sitting on a shipping container, legs crossed, whereas I'm tied to a chair in the middle of the room.

Little do they know that I've already got my hands free, and they didn't even bother to tie my legs.

I smirk and get up, and I crack my knuckles.

"If you thought you could kidnap me, you must really be dumb." I say.

"We're not trying to kidnap you, Percy. We're friends of yours." says the girl.

"If this is how you treat friends, I'd hate to see how you treat your enemies." I reply "Besides, how can we be friends when I don't even know your name, but somehow you know mine?" I continue.

"My name is Aoki Ahane. I mean you no harm. Trust me please." she replies. "You're a potential recruit for D.S.B., and I want to test you to see whether I was right about you.

I challenge you to a Speed Battle, Percy." she continues, throwing my keys towards me.

I look at her, grin, and say "I accept. You got yourself a battle!"
