Chapter 14
 
"N-Nicole?" asked Serena.
 
“Glad to see me again?” asked Nicole.
 
“Shut up Nicole.” The hood of the other cloaked figure came off. A girl with blue hair and green eyes looked at Max and Serena.
 
"Miriam," whispered Max.
 
"But Miriam, I just want to talk to my friend," whined Nicole.
 
"Your friend?" Miriam looked at Nicole. "You weren't supposed to become her friend! You were a spy! A SPY!"
 
"What? You mean our friendship was a lie Nicole?" asked Serena.
 
"No-"
 
Miriam interrupted. "Stop the act Nicole."
 
"What act? I'm not acting! I am your friend Serena!" said Nicole.
 
"Wait a minute. Serena, you know them?" asked Max.
 
"I know Nicole. She's my friend from school."
 
"So you believe me?" asked Nicole.
 
"Yes, but I don't know if I can ever trust you again."
 
A look of hurt flashed across Nicole's face; but it changed to a look of determination. "Alright Miriam, let's get down to business."
 
"Works for me." Miriam turned to Max and Serena. "We challenge you both to a two-on-two battle."
 
/Do they ever give you an alternative?/
 
[No. We have to battle.]
 
/Alright./
 
"We accept your challenge," said Max.
 
Miriam smiled. "Good."
 
All four launched their blades.
 
/Are these the ones who want your bitbeasts?/
 
[Yeah. Looks like they're targeting you too.]
 
Miriam's blade started pushing back Max's Draciel.
 
/Let's go help him out Dragonia./
 
{As you wish.}
 
Dragonia changed course and headed straight for Miriam's blade. Out of nowhere, Nicole's blade intercepted Dragonia.
 
"It isn't nice to go two on one," said Nicole.
 
/I'll finish Nicole off and then come help you. Just hang in there./
 
[I'll try.]
 
"I never knew you bladed Nicole," said Serena.
 
"I've been trained specifically to defeat you."
 
"Why me?"
 
"You hold the-"
 
"Don't tell her why Nicole. Just win," said Miriam.
 
"You just worry about Little Maxy over there and let me worry about Serena."
 
Serena snorted.
 
[Little Maxy?!]
 
/Funny nickname./
 
[Don't you dare call me that.]
 
Neither Nicole nor Serena was winning, and Miriam was close to winning. In a last ditch effort, Max summoned Draciel. Serena, confident that she would win, called out Dragonia. With a flash, a purple turtle and a black winged dragon appeared.
 
"Go SharkRash!" said Miriam.
 
"SnowLeopard!" shouted Nicole.
 
There was a flash of light, a swirl of mist, and then nothing. Serena and Max stared in disbelief.
 
"Where are you bitbeasts?" asked Serena.
 
"Oh, they're there. You just can't see them," said Miriam.
 
/Invisible bitbeasts?/
 
[Yep.]
 
/Wow./
 
SharkRash and SnowLeopard collided with Draciel and Dragonia. Dust filled the air; and when it cleared, Draciel, Dragonia, and SnowLeopard all had stopped spinning. Serena was surprised. She had been so sure that she and Max would win.
 
"We…lost…" she whispered.
 
[I lost. You drew with Nicole.]
 
Nicole and Miriam put their hoods back on.
 
"Good to see you again Serena," said Nicole.
 
"We'll be back," said Miriam.
 
They jumped up into the trees and disappeared from view. Serena knelt and picked up Dragonia.
 
{I'm sorry. I tried my best.}
 
/That's all that counts./
 
"Let's go Serena. We need to go see how the others are," said Max.
 
"My guess is, they've all been battling your little friends," said Serena.
