"She toys with me..."
"Is it a test?"
"These orders, these lines, it's as if I'm supposed to be an actor in a show."
"But I suppose I do have a role to play... My only wish is that mother takes this more seriously."
3rd Person POV:
Summoned by their sponsor, Bella, Yn, and his team watch the elevator open to find the CEO of Nexstar Industries fencing with a laser blade against a robot.
She defeats it with ease.
Felicia: Hello Miss Nexstar. You wanted to see us?
Bella: Hm? Oh yes. I wanted to discuss the entry battle with you all.
Bella: Hey, Yn. Come fence with me!
Yn:...
Without a word, he walked up, grabbed a laser blade, and took a stance.
Bob: Question. Is this appropriate?
(ZARP)
The blades clashed with fierce force.
Bella: You know what they say... The rich can do anything.
The two fight casually whilst talking.
Bella: So... Have you gotten used to your Gears?
Mick: Yeah. I say I've all but mastered it.
Bella: Oh? And what's stopping you?
Mick: Uhm, well... I need a real battle to actually push me.
Bella: Hm? Yn, didn't I tell you to push your little friends?
Yn: You said if it was necessary. It wasn't.
Bella: In what way was it not necessary?
Yn: If you doubt our skills, sponsor someone else.
Bella:(smirks)
Jabbing her sword, Bella manages to scratch Yn's arm.
Everyone:!
Yn:...
Bella: Don't get me wrong... I believe in your skills.
Yn: Then why haven't you sponsored us like this before?
Bella:(smirks) Because I see it.
Lisa: See what exactly?
Bella: What he's become...
Mick: You mean Helix?
Bella: They all said he was probably the greatest pilot around...
Bella: But that was just talk. In all honesty, he was one of the greatest... Until now...
Yn: Stop trying to feed my ego.
He manages to hold up his blade near her neck.
Yn: It sickens me...
Bella:(smiles) Do you all see it?
Felicia: See what?
Bella: That look in his eyes... Pilots like you should understand it.
Mick:(scratches head)
Bella: Must I spell it out?
Smacking his blade away, Bella and Yn exchange many clashes, until Yn caught the low-intensity blade with his free hand to get in close to hold his sword up to her neck.
