     Keyshia and I are on a small fancy boat heading to The Dark Continent. Keyshia can walk on water but I cannot unfortunately since you need to have good control of water magic and of course that's not my specialty, Keyshia's main affinity is Water, her secondary is Wind and her third is unknown like me. She hates boats but she rather ride with me than to run on water. She's currently asleep on the bench in front of me. I take off my black jacket and and cover her with it then I head to the front of the boat to look out to the horizon. The boat starts to slow down and then it stops. Up ahead is someone is standing on the water wearing a white robe, with a hood covering their head. Blonde hair is a bit visible, and the physique is of a girl. She begins to walk towards to boat then jump on the railing in front of me. A shadow on her face created by the hood makes her hard to identify but something does stand out. Red eyes.

"You're an Exodia." I said

"You're not surprised" she replied. "Are you Lightning?"

     I sighed "Yes, so what of it" I covered my mouth because I didn't mean to say yes.

"My Genetic Genocide is Truth Seeking, which allows me to know when someone is about to lie, and if I want to I'll manipulate their tongue and force them to tell me the truth" She said

     This little... I have my palm facing her as a small ball of electricity formed in the center. "I call this Young Lightning, it's not fully developed but it's still pretty destructive. "

"Lightning allow me to take her on" a voice behind me spoke, Keyshia came next to me and handed me my jacket. "You're at a disadvantage here surrounded by water. So I'll take her on." She added. I sighed and the lightning ball disappeared.

     The girl in the white robe jumped backwards into the water and stood on it. Keyshia followed her off the boat. I sat on the railings to spectate.

     Keyshia doesn't take her eyes off her. The girl smiles and three water dragons emerges from the water around her. Each magic has a different way of expressing how strong a user is with them. In this case water dragons the more water dragon a water user can produce the stronger they are with that element style. I have only seen one user before today who can produce more than one water dragon which led me to grin. Keyshia then made five water dragons emerge. The girl in the robe broke a sweat and gritted her teeth. Three of Keyshia's dragon went after all of the girl's dragon. As they collided six dragons dropped back to the water. The girl revealed a kunai knife that dropped from inside her sleeves into her hand as she ran towards Keyshia. One of the two remaining dragons on Keyshia side aimed towards the girl. The girl did a front flipped and landed on the the dragon and ran up its spine she then flipped off of the dragon as it crashed into the water and went for kick to Keyshia's head with her heel. Keyshia blocked it so the girl back flipped away from Keyshia then immediately closed the distance between them and using the knife she slashed Keyshia's face which dropped the last dragon. I winced as I saw blood squirt in the air. I clenched my fist. Keyshia jumped backwards twice to create distance. The girl didn't cut Keyshia badly it looks like just a scratch. The one at a disadvantage is Keyshia. Close combat is not her strong suite. I watched closely.

     The girl begins to close the distance again, Six water dragons emerged from the water and aimed at the girl as Keyshia jumped back again. She closed her eyes and brought two fingers to her forehead. She's preparing for her signature move. The girl dodges and evades most of the dragons but one of them grabbed her by the leg and dragged her underwater. The blood from her leg rose to the surface. A water torpedo shot into the air from the location the girl was dragged underwater and inside was the girl once it reached a certain height it switch directions and aimed towards Keyshia. She's currently faster than my naked eyes she's going way too fast. I activated my Execution Eyes and I stood on the rails preparing to intervene if Keyshia doesn't move on time. The girl got inches to her face before Keyshia grinned, I relaxed. Keyshia eyes open and the water around the girl dispersed. Her knife is also inches from Keyshia's face pressed against an invisible barrier of wind. The knife flew from the girl's hand and dropped into the water.  Suddenly and simultaneously blood splattered from random parts of the girl's body as scratches appeared then she flew backwards hitting the water hard skipping like a rock. When she stood up, she wiped the blood from her face and smiled.

"You didn't kill me?" She asked

"Not my style. If you want to die fight Lightning," Keyshia smiled and wiped the blood from her face. Something told me to use my eyes on Keyshia. So unconsciously I looked at Keyshia and used my eyes to mimic the ki manipulation Keyshia is using.

     I jumped down from the rail and landed with my knees bent and had one hand on the floor. I then stood on the water. The slight excitement I felt is unexplainable.

"Lightning you're standing on water" Keyshia said shocked. I looked at the blonde hair girl.  Her face is not hidden anymore. Her entire hair is blonde with pink tips. Her hair is probably as long as mine reaching down below her back. Her eyes is definitely of the Exodia's with the vibrant red in her iris. She doesn't look much older than me. She is also around my height which is 5'5 because she doesn't seem taller than me.

"Who are you, I don't recognize you at all, State your name" I demanded.

"You maybe be Exodia's Prince but there is no clan for you to order around anymore." She said turning her back to us.

"I'll kill you" I rushed at her with blinding speed but was pushed backwards destroying the boat and everything went black.

[Keyshia]

     Lightning flew backwards into the boat, the boat blew up into pieces.

"Wind Flare" The blonde hair girl said softly and then she disappeared. Which I've come to recognize as a teleportation.

     I hate boats. Every time I am on a boat something happens. I began to search for
Lightning in the debris created by the explosion once I found him I placed him on my back and ran towards Black City. He looks so innocent sleeping.
