Eugene: Ok, um… so now that Ren's here with me and Fabia-chan, I would like to inform everyone here that this chappie will be a little scary… ^~^

Fabia: *shaking* Wh- What do you mean?

Eugene: Trust me, dudette, you don't wanna know 'til the chapter comes. And besides, the reason why I made the story T-rated because basically.. there's a bit of pain and violence in it. Hehehe… ^^"" Sorry, you guys.

Fabia: WHAT? HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW OF THIS! *shudders in fear*

Ren: Shh.. there, there, Fabia.. *embraces Fabia lovingly* Are you sure that it's going to be, um, a bit violent in this chapter?

Eugene: I.. think so.. ^^"""" ONWARD WITH CHAPTER 3! XP

Fabia wandered around the castle gardens for the moment where she was surrounded by the beautiful and exotic plants and flowers. Then, as her curiosity expanded, she explored around the cities nearby, but of course, as a normal human girl.

"Hey Aranaut, it's so nice to be alone together like this, don't you agree?" She asked the Haos bakugan happily.

"Yes, I must agree with you, Princess. But I must remind you that we must head back before it gets dark." Aranaut reminded.

Fabia then realized that it'll be night in a couple hours. "Oh, you're right, Aranaut. Maybe we should go back to the castle. Besides, Ren must be bored waiting for me.." She turned around and looked for the direction back to the palace. It was hard to decide at first but then she finally settled in this narrow alleyway. She passed through but then as she was almost there back to the castle, a couple boys (in their Neathian forms, obviously) possibly her age but were tall in height, blocked the path.

"Yo 'Princess', why would you be going around our turf lookin' like that?" One of them sneered.

"Wait, your turf? That isn't yours! It belongs to the monarchy!" Fabia yelled.

The other one smirked. "That's what you think, Fabia Sheen. Now tell us, young lady, why do you look too.. human?"

"Too what?" She demanded, in complete shock.

"You know, too human." The 3rd guy said. "I mean, c'mon, you're a Neathian yet you're a human! Why is it so? Is it because that you preferred the humans over us Neathians, you so-called 'Neathian'?" He jeered. The others laughed.

Fabia just stood there with tears coming out. "You'll pay for this!" She growled. "It's very rude to insult the princess like that!" She then prepared to charge at them but then she suddenly felt herself pinned to the ground.

"Oh yeah? That's what you think! But we're gonna take you down until you reveal your true self!" She heard one of the guys saying.

Then, all of a sudden, she was thrown to the ground, stabbed, punched, pinched, slashed, stomped, biten, and worst of all, kicked as her dress and corset got torn by the attacks and even parts of her dress was stripped off, revealing her very deep wounds.

"STOP IT! It hurts…" Fabia nearly cried out with real tears, but whatever they're doing, she must not cry..

Fabia finally gave her strength up and was badly damaged once more. After a while, the bullies left, leaving the Neathian Princess in blood, sweat, dirt, and tears. She quickly headed back to the palace, not noticing the looks from the others as she quickly passed by.

"Fabia, what happened..?" She heard Ren said.

"It- It's nothing. I just tripped, that's all." She quickly said, then rushed to her room, crying for a moment until she fell asleep.

Ren just stood in his spot in total blank and confusion.

"Linehalt.. is there something that Fabia's not telling me?" He turned to his guardian bakugan, Darkus Linehalt, who was just hovering in Ren's shoulder.

"I'm not so sure, Ren. I'm not sure.." Linehalt replied.

Ren sighed. "It's probably nothing. But I think something's wrong.."
