Setting: A hidden chamber in Chase Young's citadel. Present day.
Chase kept his hands behind his back as he watched Serena approach her father.
"I have lived my life in fear of you for too damn long…" She said quietly, advancing towards him.
He laughed at her. "What do you plan to do about it? I am far stronger than you are, or will ever be. I have no reason to fear you any longer."
She stopped walking, and remained silent.
"All I need is to rid myself of you, and the world is mine." He finished.
Chase frowned. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Taking over the world was his job. He thought it over very carefully, and decided to watch, wait until things got out of hand, and then put his plan into effect.
Serena chose to act first. She extended her right hand with her fingers closed into a fist. Smirking, she opened her hand, and a wave of magnetism flushed the small room, knocking both Chase and her father down.
Her father rose quickly, and seemed unphased by the attack. Chase struggled to rise to his feet, and was a bit shocked by the power of the frail young girl whom he had known for so long.
Her father raised one of his own hands in response. Chase saw this as the perfect moment to strike. Sure, he was going to wait, but would he get a chance like this again? Probably not.
Before her father could strike, Chase brought his hands out from behind his back, revealing what was hidden in them.
"Sphere of Yun!"
The Shen Gong Wu caught Serena's father by surprise, and trapped him inside of it. Chase smirked. Serena stopped. She stared at Chase blankly.
"You, sir," Chase told her father, "Are now completely powerless. I have now obtained all of your power."
"So this is the only reason why you've kept me around??" Serena asked Chase; a bewildered expression on her face. "So that when my father came to kill me you could steal his powers away from him and take over the world??"
Chase laughed. "Maybe if you hadn't spent the past thousand years locked in that room, you would've given me another reason to keep you around." He shot back coldly.
Serena's deep blue eyes glared at him.
"Both of you. I hate the both of you." She announced. "Both of you stole my life away. Both of you are just evil power hungry jerks. Both of you never cared about me, and the both of you can go straight to hell!"
Chase frowned. He decided that he would take care of her first, and then leave her father trapped inside of the Sphere of Yun so that the power would remain with Chase.
He lifted up his own gloved hand, which began to glow with a multicolored energy.
Before he could actually try out his new abilities, he felt his muscles tighten, and his entire body felt strained.
Serena had acted first. Her own arm was extended towards him, her hand tightened into what resembled a claw. The strain on her own hand and arm was so great, that Chase could see the veins in her hand and arm.
"Even if you could, you wouldn't be able to use your powers." She laughed at him.
"What are you doing?" He asked, struggling to talk and interrupt her.
"There's a lot of iron in human blood." She reminded him before continuing. "You wouldn't know how to use your powers. The mechanics are too great for someone like you to even begin to comprehend. It takes years to master your ability when you've only scratched the surface of the vast ninety percent. You, however, have all ninety percent."
She punctuated her words by tightening her grip and causing him more pain.
"Have only had it for a very short amount of time."
Another tightening of the grip.
"Have no understanding of any of this."
Tighten.
"And have completely forgotten one crucial thing."
She released him with a smirk.
"What would that be?" Chase asked her, beginning to grow a little weak from whatever she had done to him.
For the first time in a while, Serena's deep blue eyes flickered light blue again, just for a moment.
"A person in our family is either gifted with a power, like myself, or insanity." She explained.
Chase vaguely remembered hearing this once before, a LONG time ago.
She continued. "If you wanted to have all ninety percent completed, you would need to obtain all of the powers."
Chase interrupted her with an impatient wave of his hand.
"Is there anything you have to say that is useful to me?" He asked.
She crossed her arms and smiled.
"No Chase. Nothing at all."
He stood up straight.
"Good. Now if you have nothing left to say, prepare to die." He re-extended his right arm, and the multicolored glow re-encased his hand. He tightened his fist, and a blast of energy shot out at Serena.
But he missed.
Serena stood smirking at him with her arms crossed.
Grimacing, Chase shot once more.
And once more, he missed.
Serena stood still as Chase continued to shoot at her, and miss every time. Out of frustration, he began to shoot recklessly at where he thought she was.
"Why?" He asked. He knew that she wasn't moving as he shot, so why couldn't he hit her? His head was spinning; he was losing his balance.
"What's happening?" He demanded to know.
He saw her lips move, but he couldn't hear what she was saying.
She began to laugh, and he heard her all too clearly now.
Chase winced; her voice was loud.
It all became clear to him, suddenly.
Insanity.
Struggling to stand, he began to shoot some more, this time not targeting Serena, but the Sphere of Yun that contained her father.
Knowing what he was trying to do, Serena panicked.
"Stop! Release him, and we'll have a bigger problem than you know." She warned Chase.
He frowned and ceased fire.
"Then what do you propose we do? I will not let him out, but will not keep these powers! If you do not help me, I shall kill you."
She laughed, but was interrupted by the laugh of someone else.
It was her father, and he was holding something in his hands.
It was the Reversing Mirror.
