The arena buzzed, a palpable tension thickening the air as Maximo, the colossal earth dragon, emerged from the Mitchell's ring, and formed right behind him.
Chloe smiled:
"Young Master Mitchell truly lives up to his name," she said.
Katherine, however, was unimpressed.
"Nay! Before my brother's Beasts, this earth dragon is useless." A flicker of possessiveness, almost pride, colored her usually cool tone.
"Yes, Miss Chloe; Christopher's Beasts are powerful! I know they are perfect stages, but one can take down a Mythical stage beast!" Bella chimed in.
Chloe, her eyebrows arching, turned to Bella. "What are you saying, Bella...? Stop exaggerating... How can a perfect stage beast take down a mythical stage?" A hint of skepticism laced her voice.
"I am not, everyone saw it," Bella insisted, a spark of fervent belief in her eyes.
