Just before the battle, Eris asked her mother if she could change the scenery of the arena to a forest-like setting like she and Selena did for their training, and she agreed. So with both of their powers, they began changing the arena into a forest.
A rumbling noise filled the arena and out of the ground shot a few dozen trees so that they covered most of the arena.
Selena scoffed at this, rolled her eyes, and sarcastically said, "I can only guess who’s going next.”
“Oh do you now, who’s that?” Doshi asked while they all looked at Selena.
“The next battle will be between Eris and me,” Selena replied, leaning against the wall crossing her arms over her chest.
“And how do you know that?” Sierra asked moving to stand closer to Selena.
Selena chuckled and replied, “I know it's going to be she and I because Eris always changes the scenery when we’re training because she thinks it will work out better for her and her chances of winning.
“Uh-huh, yeah right Selena,” Doshi smirked nudging her gently.
“Just watch,” Selena responded nudging him back playfully as they listened to the lord speaking.
“May I have everyone’s attention please, would Ladies Selena and Eris please enter the arena!”
Doshi and Selena both looked at each other, Selena smirked and pushed off the wall.
“Be careful Koi,” Doshi said catching her hand.
“I will, or I can’t fight you,” Selena said before turning and walked to the center of the arena where she was met by Eris.
“My ladies this is going to be a timed match if you defeat your opponent in the time allowed you will be able to advance, but if time is called you must wait to fight again. Are you two ready to begin?” The headman asked walking up to the pair.
“Yes.” Both girls replied together.
“Good… Ready…” He raised his hand. “Set… Begin…”He finished as his hand came down and a gong sounded.
“Are you ready for me sister?” Eris asked as each of them was staring at their opponent, as they circled around each other.
“Yes, bring it on sister,” Selena said motioning her with her fingers.
When Eris didn’t take her bait Selena drew her sword forth as she races forward and connected with Eris’s sword. The energy in both swords crackled as they fought each other in a display of strength. With a surge of strength, Eris pushed Selena back as a wave of chioki came out of Eris’s sword. It impacted on Selena and she was thrown back about 20 feet from Eris.
“Is that all you got Selena, surely you can do better than that?” Eris asked smirking.
“Not at all Eris, I’m just getting started.” She replied growling.
Eris brought her sword up as she leaped into the air and attacked Selena head-on. Their swords met their power clashing against each other. Selena then quickly raised up her other hand and blasted Eris away from her as she hit the ground hard.
“Is that all you’ve got Eris? If so, I will defeat you so easily.” Selena said growling once more.
“Ha… you won’t beat me. I have the upper hand here in this setting, that’s why I had mother change it for me for our battle. I knew that you couldn’t handle me here.” Eris said with a laugh.
“You are so naïve my dear sister. You have only seen me train with my master, but you haven’t seen me train with Doshi. He taught me well.” Selena said looking at Doshi, and he smirked back.
“If that’s the way you want it, Selena, no more playing around,” Eris said drawing her staff.
“Who said I was playing around?” Selena said putting away her sword and taking out her short spear.
Eris growled and jumped into a tree and shot an orb at Selena, but Selena used her powers and disappeared. Eris was about to climb out the tree when a dagger was thrown at her nearly missing her. She jumped down out of the tree and looked to see Selena standing there waiting for her.
“Damn it, Selena,” Eris said while putting her staff away and drawing her sword.
“What? Am I too much for you Eris?” Selena said and with a special movement, she puts her weapon away and draws her own sword. “Surely you can do better than that.”
Eris charged at Selena, but when she went to strike her she flipped back. Eris growled and swung again, but she disappeared. Eris looked around to see her running towards her. Before she could move out the way, Selena tackled her to the floor. Eris tried to push her off, and couldn’t with a dagger pressed to her throat. So with her power, she formed an orb and held it up to Selena’s stomach daring Selena to make her move.
“What now Eris, you have nothing left. Give up. You have no chance of beating me.” Selena said growling fiercely.
“I could say the same to you Selena, but I will not lose to you,” Eris said and with that, she disappeared from underneath Selena.
“You’re good Eris, I’ll give you that much,” She began as she gets up. “But it will take more than a few disappearing tricks to defeat me,” Selena said pretending to look for Eris.
“Hn… I will finally get you, Selena.” Eris said to herself not knowing that Selena heard her.
“Let me see you try it Eris,” Selena replied growling out to her.
Just then Eris threw another orb at Selena, but this time it came out of her sword scratching Selena on her side when she tried to move out the way, but as Eris made her move Selena repeated the attack and swung at her too, scratching her leg in the process. Selena fell on one knee and hissed. She picked herself up as she put her weight on her sword. She turned to find Eris limping towards her with blood running down her leg.
“Pretty good Selena, you managed to dodge my attack, just barely,” Eris said charging at Selena again.
When Eris was close enough Selena race forward and swung at Eris cutting her other leg with her sword. Quicker than the eye could see Eris turn and jumped behind Selena and cut her on her back. Selena knelt on the ground crying out in pain as she quickly swiped her claws at Eris making her jump back in surprise.
“No, Selena!” Doshi, Atomus, and Kasumi called as one. Doshi was about to get up and help her when he was stopped by his adopted father.
“Doshi, you must not interfere. Selena will be ok.” Atomus said as he watched his pup struggling to get back up.
“I won’t, but how can you be so sure,” Doshi asked as he continued to watch Selena.
“We know our pup Doshi, believe in your mate as we do, and she will win,” Kasumi said as she too watched Selena.
“Your right and I do believe in her,” Doshi said as he sits back down.
“Selena my pup, you have more strength than that. Now get up!” Atomus said telepathically to Selena.
“Yes, father,” Selena responded as she got up and started transforming.
Eris looked at Doshi, and then back at Selena and a small smirk grew on her face as she started transforming.
“Awe Selena, is that all you’ve got? Where is the big tough chaiura that I saw earlier?” Eris asked now in her chaiura voice.
“I will not… be defeated so easily.” Selena growled out in her own chaiura voice.
“Let my power control your actions for a while, my lady.” Selena‘s beast asked her.
“As you wish Miyuki, but you must let me take control when the match is over, do I make myself clear?” Selena responded.
“You have my word my lady” Miyuki closed the connection and began taking over Selena’s senses.
Eris laughed and took back out her sword, and was about to attack when Selena started glowing.
“Huh? What are you doing Selena?” Eris watched waiting to see what she was going to do.
Just then the light engulfed Selena making everyone hide their eyes. Once the light was gone everyone in the arena gasped as they saw Selena. She was now dressed in pure white hakama and haori with an orange juban underneath, and tied it together with a silver obi with golden body armor that covered her chest and on the right sleeve was Selena’s gold symbol. In her hand was a new sword that pulsed with power as a golden glow was surrounding it. What she didn’t realize was that Selena and her beast were now fighting as one with her beast now in control.
“Wow, where did you get so much power from, and where did you get that sword? I don’t remember father giving it to you?” Eris said wide-eyed.
Selena looked at her father and mother and saw a pleased look on their faces. She smiled and turned back to Eris.
“Father didn’t give me this sword Eris, I made it. As far as my powers that’s for me to know and you to find out.” Selena’s beast replied for her getting into her stance.
“But how, I was never trained to do that?” Eris asked watching her.
“Simple mother is weak, and I’m our fathers’ favorite daughter, and he chose me to teach it to.” Miyuki/Selena replied as one voice smirking.
“Damn you, Selena,” Eris said growling.
“Well stop growling and come at me sister.” Selena/ Chloe said waiting for Eris to attack, knowing that she would take her bait.
Eris her drew her sword and raced towards Selena, as she connected with Selena’s sword. The energy in both swords crackled as they fought each other in a display of strength. Then with a surge of her strength, Selena pushed Eris back as a wave of chioki came out of Selena’s sword. It impacted on Eris as she was thrown back about 20 feet from Selena. Eris quickly regained her footing and quickly threw up her sword, and she fired a powerful blast from her sword as she watched with satisfaction at what she did. Selena saw the attack coming as she dodged to avoid it, and Selena moved in for another attack.
Eris was not expecting Selena to dodge her attack. She brought her sword up as she leaped into the air and attacked Selena head-on. She had another plan in mind as she started another incantation. Their swords met their power clashing against each other, as Eris finished her spell. She raised her hand up and blasted Selena away from her and she hit the ground hard. An evil smirk came to her features as she went after Selena. She was not about to let her regroup to attack again.
Selena got up fast and turned as she saw Eris coming towards her. She raised her sword. “Miyuki you must stop now,” Selena said to her beast as Miyuki called out her attack. “Ryudokuken!” She shouted as power started to build on the sword when a large and imposing light came out of it and went toward Eris.
Eris countered with her own attack, and a black light came out of her sword as it rushed towards Selena’s attack. Both powers met in the middle of the field as they attacked each other, and exploded in midair as they destroyed one another.
“I wonder what’s wrong with Selena,” Eris asked herself. While all others watched to see what was going on with Selena.
“It looked like she was trying to stop herself from attacking.” Eris’s beast responded.
“Yes but why?” Eris looked up to see Selena shaking her head. “What’s wrong Selena looks to me like you’re getting tired?”
“Not at all Eris.” Selena/Miyuki said breathing hard. “Miyuki you must back down, I feel another power here. Let me handle the rest of the fight.” She said growling to her beast and in turn growling at Eris‘s statement.
“As you wish my lady,” Miyuki responded as she receded from Selena’s mind.
“Fine then,” Eris said as she raises her sword and charged at Selena.
Selena now in control takes her sword in her hand and stands firm. Their swords met their power clashing against each other. With a surge of strength, Selena pushed Eris back as both of their powers came out of their swords. Both powers impacted on the other and they were both thrown back about twenty feet from each other.
They raced towards the other, and fought with their swords for a while and when Eris jumped back to see where Selena was. She was nowhere to be seen. Then Selena appeared right next to Eris to attack, but she was quicker and jumped away to avoid the attack.
“I’m sorry Eris, but it’s time for me to end this,” Selena said readying her attack.
“Not if I have any say in it,” Eris said as she stood her ground as she saw the power that Selena was emitting.
She had to be careful as she got into a fighting stance and waited for her sister to attack. She didn’t have to wait for long as she sent a blast her way. Eris countered with her own attack and this time her attack hit, and Selena was slammed to the ground. Very quickly Eris leaped forward to finish off her sister, but Selena was quicker and disappeared from view. Eris tries to find her, but then Selena appeared right next to her and stabbed Eris killing her.
“Sorry, Eris…” Selena said out of breath.
That instant the queen declared Selena the winner. Then all became silent as Selena went over to Eris, changed her sword, and struck Eris bringing her back to life. As soon as she did that she dropped to one knee trying to breathe.
“Selena!” Doshi said as he headed towards the arena to help her.
Eris woke up and looked around for Selena. When she saw her she was on one knee breathing heavily and notices Doshi going over to her.
“Doshi?” Selena said breathing heavily.
“Yes Koi, try not to talk. Save your energy for your next battle.” Doshi said helping her to stand as Selena turned to look at her sister now standing watching herself.
“I’m glad to see you’re ok Eris,” Selena said as they walked slowly towards Eris.
“Same here. That was a really good fight, Selena, thanks.” Eris said smiling.
“Don’t mention it,” Selena said giggling softly.
“Come, love,” Doshi said leading her out of the field.
Just as they all left the field Azume stood to address the crowd, “Very soon we will have our next match.
Eris turned herself and headed to her quarters after Selena and Doshi left the arena. As she entered her chamber she began thinking about her last match with Selena.
“Selena, what has happened to you? I hope you prevail in your next battles.” Eris said with a sigh as she got changed.
