Chapter. 21

"We're here." Vincent parked his motorcycle outside a cafe and looked back to Rebecca. "You good?"

"I'm good." The two climbed off the bike and walked in. The cafe was a large lounge with stone walls covered with sheaves holding wooden carvings. The tables were made of glass with upholstered chairs around them.

Rebecca found a small table in the corner and sat down while Vincent ordered some sandwiches. "Vincent!"

Vincent spun around and hugged by Corina. "Hello Coco. Why are you-"

"What are you doing here? Fighting emerald?"

"Helping my child. Is Lyle here?" On quote Lyle stood behind Corina. Vincent and Lyle nod to each other and the three go to the table.

"Hey Reby, got some people for you to meet." Each of the burst linkers sat down around the table. "This is Rebecca, my child. She goes by Prism Rose."

"Hello." Rebecca waved to the couple.

"Happy to met you! I'm Corina, Lilac Laser, but please call me Coco." Corina pats Lyle's shoulder. "This is my boyfriend Lyle, Turquoise Titan." Lyle nods to Rebecca who smile brightly. "Prism Rose. That's a pretty name."

"Thank you."

"What brings you two here?" Asked Vincent.

"Fighting to get some points, the norm. You?"

"V is helping me get stronger."

"V?" Corina grins at Vincent.

Vincent rolled his eyes. "We should get started. Let's do some team fights and see what were up against."

Corina clapped her hands. "Oh! I wanna see Rebecca's avatar, we can team up!"

"I..."

"It'll be fun Reby! We can all do team battles. It'll help with friend building and stuff!"

Vincent leans back. "Alright. Just watch over her."

"You got it!" Corina gave Vincent a thumbs up then sent Rebecca a friend request. Rebecca accepted it and set Corina as her partner. "Alright! Girl power!" Corina opened Brian Burst and picked the first pair of names.

The world broke apart as the four were changed into their avatar forms. Corina and Rebecca stood in a field of snow with the northern lights above them. "The aurora stage, this on is so pretty."

"It's beautiful." Rebecca turned to an ice cliff to see Vincent and Lyle watching.

"Heads up Rose!" Corina spotted a metal and a green avatar walked through the snow, they stopped when Corina raised her hands. The metal avatar moved first and started to run. The panels on Corina's hands heated up and she fired lasers at the avatar but the shot barely chipped away at their health. Corina backed away as they were getting closer.

"Prism Shirt Blue!" Rebecca changed her color and she ran in front of the metal avatar. Rebecca punched the avatar in the chest and sent it flying back when dealing serous damage.

Corina stood beside Rebecca, looking her up and down. "You change colors?"

"More then that." Rebecca struke her fists together. "Prism Shift Red!" Rebecca's limbs returned to their normal sizes then changed again. Her body turned bright red as her right arm reformed into a laser cannon and her left became a minigun, on her back grew a missile launcher.

Rebecca walked towards the green avatar, pointing her laser cannon at them as it lit up. The green avatar clapped their hands together then holds them out to create a force field. Rebecca fired a beam of orange light at the force field as while she was getting closer.

The green avatar's force field started to turn red then shattered, Rebecca's laser struck the avatar for a second before the weapon overheated. The avatar staggered back from the beam, when they looked back to Rebecca she held up her minigun. The weapon spun to build up speed then unleashed a hail of bullets, the green avatar held up their arm for any protection from the bullets.

The minigun overheated and stopped firing, causing her to lower the weapon. "I got it!" Corina rushed at the green avatar while she shot it with her own lasers. Once she got close she took off her pigtails, become her energy swords to slash into the avatar. The avatar throw a punch but Corina ducked under it and sliced through the arm followed with a stab in the chest, the finished the avatar with a thrust through the neck.

Rebecca turned back to the metal avatar that got back on their feet and ran to her Rebecca smirked and launched a missile at the avatar. The missile crashed into the avatar and knocked them down. The avatar pushed themselves up to see two more missiles coming at them, ending the fight.

The real world rebuilt itself as the group returned to it. "That was awesome Reby!"

"Thank you."

"I mean it! I see why Vincent picked you, your power is amazing!"

Vincent clinched his fist, which Lyle noticed. "I gave Rebecca the game cause I wanted to help her build some confidence."

Lyle waved his hand down and waved his finger. A friend request appeared in front of Vincent. Vincent accepted the request then it was followed with a request to partner up. To which Vincent accepted again.

Rebecca and Corina watched the two wordlessly act before the world broke down again, rebuilt into one that was burned down. Vincent and Lyle stood ready as a red avatar wielding dual smgs. The avatar twirled the guns and opened fire. Before Vincent could act Lyle rushed up to the red avatar and swung his fist into it. The avatar turned to static and faded away. Bullets crashed into Lyle's back, he held up his shield against the bullets which came from the windows in a building.

"Blaster, beam!" Vincent shot a laser into the building's base pillars to cut them and bring the building crashing down. Two avatars jumped out of the building a red and a yellow. "Charge Shot!" Vincent released a large beam at the yellow avatar but it disappear as well. The red avatar crawled out of way of Vincent's attack then looked up to see Lyle's fist crushing them.

Vincent followed the arrow to see the yellow avatar atop another building. He raised up his blaster but it was overheated. "Lyle! Bring it down!" Vincent pointed to the building.

"Mmh." Lyle nods, he changes his shield to an axe and slashed to the building base, cutting down in one swing. The yellow fell from the building rooftop, before they hit the ground Vincent roundhouse kicked the avatar, sending them sliding to Lyle who stepped on them. Ending the fight.

They returned to the real world and Corina threw her arms around Lyle. "That was great Lyle! Powerful as always!"

Lyle and Vincent smile and nod to each other. Rebecca looked between them. "What am I not getting?"

Corina let's go of Lyle and laughed. "It's just boys Reby. Leave them be. So what's next?"

"Vincent and Rebecca." Said Lyle, taking Vincent and Rebecca by surprise.

"Couple battle team!" Cheered Corina.

Rebecca hid her face behind her hair while Vincent groaned. "We're not a couple."

"Really? Oh." Corina slumped back in disappointment.

Vincent sighed and changed his setting to make Rebecca his partner again then looked for another fight. "You ready Reby?"

Rebecca moved her hair out of her face and smiles. "Yes."

The world shattered around them then reformed into a shopping mall, confusing the two.

"Well this is new." A store window breaks open as a blue avatar with a longsword jumps out at them. Vincent blocks the sword with his blaster and draws his sword. He steps back swings his blade.

As Rebecca watched she was tackled by a metal avatar. In a panic Rebecca drew her knife and plunged it into the avatar's neck, getting them off of him. Rebecca stood up and crossed her arms. "Prism Shift Green!" Rebecca's body changed to her defense form. The metal avatar got up and started punching the shields on her arms.

Vincent saw Rebecca's health chipping away, he glanced over to see her in trouble when the blue avatar brought down their sword on him. Vincent blocked with his sword then looked back to Rebecca. Causing his anger to grow.

"Prism!" Vincent shoved his opponent away and raised his sword. "Royal Cut!" Vincent slashed through the avatar's sword and cut them in half. He dropped his sword and rushed to Rebecca's aid.

Vincent grabbed the metal avatar by the head and slammed them into the ground. Vincent stood above them and punched them in the face over and over. "Beat the, fucking, son of a, eat your, own, god damn, skull, I will, feed it to you!" Vincent raised his fists and crushed the avatar's head.

Breathing hard Vincent stood up and turned to Rebecca. "You okay?"

"Yes." The world broke apart and returned them to the real world. "Sorry."

"It's fine Reby." Vincent draped his arm over her. "You're still new to this. I had problems at the start and I still have problems now. You just have to keep trying."

Corina snickered as she watched the two then turned to Lyle who watched as well with a small smile.
