Chapter 3

Old Enemies… And an old Legend…

It was afternoon like 5 o' clock and there in her room was Alkaid nervously waiting for today's match, thou she didn't know why was the reason of her being so nervous, she thought of many things, but anyway she decided that she needed to calm and then after a few minutes she turned to see her clock, "wow sure time goes quick huh" she said as she was prepared to log into the world.

Before clicking in the icon of "the world" she saw the one of the mail, apparently she had one new mail, "maybe it is from haseo" she thought, and quickly looked at it.

Sender: Unknown

Subject: About Sirius

If you want to know more about what happened to Sirius come to Θ Hidden Forbidden Battlefield.

"This looks very suspicious" she thought, but any information could be useful, and because she also wanted to know what's going on with Sirius. Before she logged in she thought of sending a mail to Haseo telling him about the mail she received and so she did.

Sender: Alkaid

Subject: About Sirius

Hey someone e-mailed me and told me it had information concerning Sirius, I'm sending you the word hoping you can come.

The words are Θ Hidden Forbidden Battlefield.

See you there.

After that she quickly clicked into the icon of "the world" but it didn't seems that she was logging on, "ummm what it's going on" she thought, suddenly the light in her room shut down, "oh my god what's going on?" Then she heard her mother's voice, "sorry hunny it seems that the some people need to do some things to the house and they need to shut down the electricity", "no way" she said a little desperate now.

Haseo was now waiting at the area known as Coite-Bodher Battlefield, "Man surely girls take their time" he growled, suddenly he could feel that something was not right, "mmm something is not right here, maybe Alkaid is busy but I should have seen by now the person who called her". "So you've come instead of her huh", "what? Who's there?" he demanded, "Oh it makes me so sad that you don't remember me Haseo" as the person attacked Haseo, "No it can't be, you… you are Bordeaux!!!"As he defended from the attack, "Now with the new power I have, I will enjoy more tearing you apart!!!" Suddenly Bordeaux was sent flying through the air, "take you're filthy hands from him!!!" It was none other than Alkaid which looked very angry, "Damm you, well it doesn't matter I will have my chance in our match at the Holy Palace Tournament!!!" She then left laughing like a maniac.

"Who was she? Do you know her Haseo?" Alkaid asked him, "I do know her Alkaid, and I'm very worried now because she is going to be our next opponent…", indeed he looked worried but why she thought, "hey is something worn with her, are you telling me that we are going to lose to someone like her!?, to a PK?" No that's not the problem he thought, "Nah I… wasn't saying that, it's something else…, anyway let's get out of here, remember we need to be prepared for the match and we need to meet Atoli at Lumina Cloth", "Ok" she replied, he is hiding something ummm I wonder what it is, she stood there thinking when she heard the voice of Haseo "Hey you coming?", "Oh yeah sorry I was… oh no never mind let's go".

"I wonder where they are, it's not common of them to be late, especially when we are talking about the Holy Palace Tournament", Atoli was worried because indeed her partners were late and the match was very soon to start. After some seconds she saw two figures that were coming this way, "Hey Atoli sorry if we are late" Haseo yelled as she was waving her hand, "hey you sure take your time", as she thought "were they on a date or something?... No I don't think so what I saw yesterday was not real… I hope that…" she suddenly snapped out of her thought when Alkaid asked for her, "Hey earth calling Atoli", "huh… oh sorry about that I was just thinking…", Atoli replied as Haseo was already registering the team, "ok both of you ready?", "Yeah no need to ask" Alkaid replied, "alright lets go".

Now they were in the "waiting room" just waiting for them to be called for the fight, then they heard the announcer calling them as Haseo finished explaining to Alkaid about Bordeaux obviously no telling her anything about AIDA or the Avatars just that her PC was hacked and that probably her character will be very hard to beat, "Don't worry I wouldn't let an idiot like her to beat me, you know I hate people like that", she said, a little of anger could be heard from her voice, "alright calm down I hear you, anyway it's time for the match are you two ready?", "Hell yeah lets get over with this", Alkaid said, "Ok, how about you Atoli?", "I'm ok too" she said with a smile, "ok then lets go".

They appeared at the stage where Bordeaux and her team were waiting for them, "oh so you were brave enough to come and battle me huh?" she said, "is she trying to make fun of us or something" that's what Haseo thought, "come on Bordeaux let's end this now!!!", "you sure have a lot of nerve asking me that, you weakling" at this she took out her weapon and quickly advanced to Haseo who took it by surprise. What the...!? Is this the effect of AIDA??? He thought as he evaded the attack from Bordeaux, "Oh so you've noticed it doesn't it? The great power I have now is thanks to him!!!"

Thanks to whom…Haseo wondered as he evaded more hits coming from Bordeaux, "Hey that's all you have Terror of Death, you make me sick!!!" "Ok you asked for it" Haseo yelled and soon he activated one of his skills "Sparrow Counter", and with this Bordeaux was now at the floor, "good hit Haseo, he heard as Alkaid landed another attack into Grein. Atoli just stood there healing if any of the two where low in HP and in fact It was a lot of help for both as the two did had problems but nothing they couldn't handle.

"Ok enough with the games… I will finish you right now aaaaggggg" suddenly a lot of black spheres surrounded Bordeaux and the hole field turned into the known "Avatar Space", "what??? She summoned AIDA!" Haseo exclaimed and apparently not only he and Atoli could see AIDA "what… what's THAT!!!" Alkaid screamed in horror; please don't tell she can see them… Haseo thought as he decided either summoning Skeith or not, he remembered that Yata told him not to do something like in fact this haven't happened because in the Demon Palace tournament he did it but only Atoli could see Skeith not Silabus, but this was different, of Alkaid could see AIDA then maybe she could also see his Avatar, "dam if I don't summon Skeith we are going to be in trouble, ok this is it, sorry if I'm not following rules Yata but I need to take risks".

"Come on, Come on, I'm right here… Skeith!!!" and just then Skeith appeared, before he entered into action he just turned to see Alkaid, and there she was with a face of surprise, "stay there I'm going to take care of this" as he said this she caught a glimpse of Haseo's figure "so I'm not imagining things right?" she said although no one heard her. Just then both Skeith and the AIDA (Oswald) star fighting, their moves were very fast and maybe it could be said since the POV of Alkaid something from other world as she hasn't seen an Avatar or AIDA, she just stood there watching how those two fight and fight.

"This is taking too much time…" Haseo thought just when Oswald did one of its movements and he couldn't evade it, "what the… spider webs?" Haseo said and then he received the attack from Oswald, "I didn't imagine that could have so much power, but enough with this, I had enough of you is time to come back you heard me Bordeaux!!!" Just then Skeith attacked with his scythe causing the "protect break" and so he used this opportunity to finish it off using its Data Drain thus ending the battle.

Meanwhile in the chaos gate of Mac Anu…

"This city has changed since my last visit huh?" A red figure appeared from the chaos gate as he made his way to a guild called "Raven". He then heard a voice who called for him "Kite you have returned!!!?" "Oh so I guess you must be Wiseman or should I call you Yata?" The boy said with a smile in his face.
