Syphile here… since the males are getting ready for my party, I'll write the next chapter.
In their hurry, they even forgot to say the disclaimer last chapter!
*sigh* now I have to fix their mess…
We do not own Bakugan Battle Brawlers…
Here comes the party
Chapter 8
"My plans are all going into accordance. Little do they know, some things are going to be… a heartbreaker? Is that their term?" I asked my confidant
"Yes, I believe that that's their term" He said in his raspy voice
I smirked at the whole thought. In one fell swoop, everything they worked throughout these years, are all going to be gone.
"Lady Syphile," he said "with all due respect, can she…"
"Yes, of course she will. I've studied these emotions long ago… Emotions which you lack… And every human possess."
"Yes, master. I shall leave you for now…"
"You do that… Later 'Zyn!"
He scoffed as I called his nickname. He never actually liked that.
As soon as he left, I started brushing my silver hair.
Then, I began to remember why I am in such place.
************************************
Flashback
I was the outcast in our family… mother, father, everyone has ebony hair, while I… I have this strange genetic problem… leaving me the only one with this silver hair in the family… And they! My whole family out casted me.
I ran away from home… I ran towards nowhere…
Then, I was assaulted by a bunch of thugs… they tried to take me. I struggled, but they were willed. I was abducted.
I let my tears fall… 'No one care about me…' I thought.
And that's when he came to the thug's hideout.
He rescued me from my bitter fate.
He asked me where I was going to go… I told him nowhere.
We met gaze, even though I couldn't his eyes… I could sense that he was trying to see through my soul. And the strange thing is… I let him.
He saw the potential within me…. And let me join him… in his mission. I was his right hand, while my half brother, Mark, was his left hand. The three of us; I, Mark and Masquerade, was undefeatable.
Until that day… Daniel Kuso managed to defeat him. We already knew what would happen if Masquerade is to be beaten. But we never expected that Alice is Masquerade.
Anger grew inside me while Mark… he just accepted faith.
As master Naga was defeated… I vowed that I will get my vengeance on Masquerade's host. The female named: Alice Gehabich.
Years passed
My plan was prepared.
Then, a strange event occurred. The twilight meteor. Capable of making any wish any wish come true.
It was too late for me when I realized that two meteors are passing that night. I wished on the first one.
Mark was watching Alice at that time… He reported that as Alice made a wish, the true twilight meteor passed and granted her wish.
Masquerade was her wish. And that's how he managed to return.
But still, he vowed on protecting her when he heard about my plan.
He turned away from me. The only connection Masquerade and I have now is Mark…
I readied my plan. Slowly but surely, I made friends with Shun.
I know that Alice and Shun was 'on'
"The one closest to you hurts more." I remember Mark said.
That's why I made Shun fall for me.
Now, the time has come. I will get my revenge on Alice. No, not just on her, but on everyone she cherish.
End Flashback
************************************
I wore my white gown and my mask.
I know that everyone will be here. The brawlers, Mark, Masquerade, Dr. Michael, and him…
Outside
"Wow! This mansion is bigger than I imagined!" Julie yelled
"Yeah…" Runo said. I could feel that she was dismayed that she wouldn't be able to enter.
"Here we are, Master Marucho" Kato said
"Well, I guess I'll see you later…" I said
"Bye Alice!" they cheered
A guard accepted the invitation letter; then he asked:
"Alice Gehabich?"
"Ye-Yes?"
"Why don't you invite your friends inside?"
"Huh?" we wondered
"We accept the guest's friends. Even though they couldn't participate in the dance, they could still see what's happening cause they will be staying on a private box"
"Really?" Chan asked the guard
"Yes…"
"Wait, how did you know about her name?" Marucho asked
"You see, Lady Syphile was a fan of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. She would talk about all of you. Show pictures and other stuff…. That's how everyone here got to know you. You guys are like a celebrity here."
"Oh…" Dan cooed
The guard motioned us inside and we all followed.
After a while
"Wear your mask now, Miss Alice, we're nearing the central chamber"
"God, this place s big…" Julie said again
"The box that you'll be staying is to the right."
"Oh, there you are!" said a familiar voice
"Dr. Michael, what are you doing here?" The guard asked
"I heard that the Brawlers are here, so I thought that I come and greet them"
"Well then, doctor, here's Alice"
"Grandfather!" I said as I hugged my dear Grandfather.
"Now, now… How have you been?"
"Great! But I missed you so much…"
"Don't worry… I'm fine. I look forward to seeing you dance later"
"Uh… with all due respect, Dr. Michael, may I humbly ask you to lead the others to the box?" the guard interrupted
"Oh, of course! I know that it's a hard task to traverse this mansion."
"Thank you sir. Miss Alice, shall we?"
As the others separated, we walked onward to the central chamber.
I was numerous people inside. All of them are wearing masks.
But what stood out were three males and two females. The group was in an elevated stage.
The first male was wearing a green mask and a black tuxedo.
The second wore a coat and tie and a black mask.
The first female wore a white gown and mask
The second wore a sapphire gown and a blue mask
The last of the males surprised me…
Masquerade.
He mouthed the words
"Alice, join us here" And he smiled at me
I joined them and heard someone say an opening ceremony.
Afterwards, we began the ball.
Somewhere in the darkness
"The 'guests' are here… let the plan commence!"
End Chapter 8 : The Beginning of the Ball (Syphile / Alice/ 'Zyn')
That's hard… Well, at least it's over… for now.
LoLz! CloneGirl is the only one reviewing! Ah well, at least someone is still giving their piece of mind.
Thanks to all those who read this! Really, we all thank you!
