Her straight black hair shined under the moon. Her eyes were green and her skin had a light tan. She was wearing a blue tank top and a pair of shorts. She looked beautiful, like always.
"I'm sorry, I didn't an to scare you." She smiled. "But it's nice to see you again."
"Yeah, I missed you too." Lucas replied, "so, are you ready to fight ?"
"No, not yet..." She smiled. "I need to get so rest before tonight, so I'll leave in a few minutes."
"Alright, well, I'll wait for you here."
Malice nodded. "See ya then."
Once Malice left, Lucas returned to sit on the bench. He waited until he heard footsteps coming towards him. He stood up and saw Malice walking towards him. She was dressed in a black tank top and grey sweatpants.
"Hi," she spoke, with a smile, "I'm ready, let's go."
One thing that Lucas didn't know was Malice didn't want to rest, but to bring poison to make him lose his eyesight. During the last few weeks, Lucas got along with Malice thinking that she was also just a ran extra character that was free from the system, but he was wrong. Malice was a spy sent to find out his weaknesses and use them against him.
"You look…fine," Lucas said, with a slight hint of sarcasm.
Malice giggled. "You're funny."
Lucas nodded and followed Malice into the arena. Lucas took a deep breath, trying to relax.
Malice readied herself, and then she signalled Lucas to start.
"All right," Lucas replied.
Lucas then quickly rushed forward, using his speed to strike Malice's side. She blocked the attack, and then she retaliated, attacking Lucas. He dodged, and Malice struck his shoulder. Lucas felt a jolt of pain run through his body and he fell backwards, 'damn it!' He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw.
Her movents were unexpected to him. Lucas rolled onto the ground and crawled away, trying to protect his injured arm.
Malice looked at Lucas, who was now behind a small wall. She smiled. "Do you think you can still fight after that hit?"
Lucas grinned, "I've already beaten stronger opponents before, so I think I'll be fine." He forced a smile, but he knew that he was in trouble. The poison must have taken effect by now, and it wasn't going to heal anyti soon, and Lucas had no idea about it.
After a mont of silence, Malice charged at Lucas, hitting him hard in the face. He fell back, and his vision blurred. Malice landed on top of Lucas, pinning him down. She grabbed his face and pressed her lips against his. Lucas tried to push her off, but he couldn't move. His vision was blurry, and he could feel sothing cold running through his veins.
He was starting to lose consciousness, and he didn't even realize it. He shut his eyes and fell unconscious.

Lucas opened his eyes, groaning in pain. He felt weak and he couldn't get up. Malice was sitting next to him, smiling.
"Welco back," Malice said cheerfully with her eyes almost closed.
"What happened? Where am I?" he asked while placing his hand on his eyes, trying to squeeze them.
"You passed out, but it looks like your poison has gone down. You can go back to training now."
Lucas sat up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, what did you do to ?" He furrowed his eyebrows as wrinkles appeared on his forehead.
"I wanna fight you again, but this ti for real." She chuckled. "I poisoned you with my venom, but it only lasted a short ti."
"So why did you kiss ?"
"Because I wanted you to pass out faster. I don't want to waste any more of your ti than necessary."
Lucas grinned. "Well, I guess you accomplished your goal since it worked."
He stood up and walked over to her.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you anymore. At least, not like that." She laughed.
They both started laughing together.
"You are pretty funny." Lucas smiled, 'who's she?' The only thought was in his head. "Okay, let's do a rematch," Lucas placed his hand on his injured shoulder. "When I win, I'll give you that sword."
"Deal," Malice smirked. "And this ti, I'll try to be better prepared."
Lucas nodded. "All right, let's go." He turned around and headed towards the training grounds.
It was ti for Lucas to show what he was made of. The poison and her sudden weird behaviour were too suspicious for Lucas, he wanted to fight her one more ti to be able to find out the truth.
"Bring it on," Malice smirked as she followed him.
Lucas lifted his sword, preparing for battle. He was determined to win this ti, although he couldn't ignore the fact that she had put so kind of poison on him. But if he won, he would give her the weapon. It was to motivate himself not to lose, and Lucas was going to use every bit of willpower he had to beat her.
The two combatants circled each other, waiting for the signal to begin. After a mont of silence, they began their assault.
Lucas imdiately charged forward, swinging his blade. Malice blocked the attack with her arms. She then jumped and pushed Lucas back, causing him to stumble.
She used the montum to jump high, and landed on Lucas' neck, "heh" Lucas smirked, "Renexa!" He shouted and summoned the white bird that protected him.
"Eeep?" Malice squealed.
She quickly jumped off Lucas' neck and flew around his head, making circles. The two-ter giant phoenix was protecting Lucas from Malice's attacks.
Lucas approached her slowly, making sure that she was distracted. He swung his sword at her, but she blocked it and countered. They were evenly matched, 'ugh!' Lucas didn't know how he was going to win this without his strength.
"Stop playing around!" Malice shouted and charged at Lucas, her sword held high.
As she closed in on him, Lucas felt an intense pain run through his leg.
