Chapter Six
Battle My Past Life

Scarlett had to remind herself to breathe, that this was really happening. No, no, it couldn't be; it was just another nightmare. She tried to force herself to wake up, but this was reality, and she had just come, face-to-face, with Enigma again, this time in the Arena. His red eyes glowed with hatred just as she remembered, and he looked not at all pleased to see her.

"Hello, Charlotte." He snarled at her.

"...My name is Scarlett now, Enigma." She responded blankly. Charlotte, who was by her side; looked afraid at the sight of Enigma; Scarlett couldn't blame her. To this day even she felt a flicker of fear whenever she saw his pale face, contrasted by his dark and grey hair and red eyes.

It was pure chance; it had to have been pure chance. That could be the only thing that brought Enigma to her new home for an Arena fight. As her Summoner, Sara, stared down at his arena team and muttered "I have made a huge mistake," Scarlett could certainly agree. Both teams had gotten better over time, much to both Scarlett's joy and dismay.

Sara had six-starred her Lushen, and sped up her Frigate to 260 Speed.

Enigma had gotten Alicia and Psamathe.

There was no chance of winning this battle. Sara's arena team was Double Charlotte; consisting of Frigate, Megan, Charlotte, and Scarlett. Enigma's team had Psamathe, Alicia, Bernard, and Lushen. Of course, Enigma most likely had far better runes than Sara did. Scarlett just barely remembered Lushen, back on Enigma's island, but he wasn't like the Lushen on Sara's island.

On her island, he was the same age as Charlotte – most likely about ten or so – but learned Amputation Magic early. He was fun to be around, always cracking jokes and making people smile; especially Charlotte. The two of them had been dating (or at least, the child's version of going on dates) and it seemed like he genuinely liked her. This Lushen was different. He was meaner; more focused on killing everything with Amputation Magic.

"Now then, opponent, you've caught me in a good mood today, so I'm willing to make a bet." Enigma said, staring Sara directly in the eye. He felt arrogant, so he couldn't help but decide to make one, "If you win, then I'll give up this Alicia and Psamathe; and you can decide where they'll go to."

"And if you win?" Sara responded, curious more than anything now. This was the first time she had been in a bet; she remembered how her friend bet her Grego and her opponent his Ganymede. Surprisingly, her friend won. Enigma's face curled into a wicked smile.

"You've got a nice island; amazing monsters you don't deserve. So, if I win, I'll take the monsters I want." Sara thought for a moment. On one hand, she could possibly lose her Frigate, Eladriel, Charlotte, and so on and so forth – and there was a good chance she'd lose, but on the other, if she won, that "nysra" she saw on the Summoner's War subreddit would finally get an Alicia; not to mention that it would be nice to have a Psamathe...

"You're on, mate."

With that, it was time to fight.

The Arena watched in hushed awe and fear, the evil hovering around Enigma you could practically see and feel. There was something wrong with Enigma; he was a horrible Summoner, but no one would dare to say such a thing if the shine in his eyes meant anything. He intimidated everyone around him, including his opponent, a much younger and more inexperienced Summoner.
