    Xion, a dark-haired beauty with a soul as twisted as her plans, had always held a peculiar fascination for power. She was never content with being a mere pawn in a game of kings.

    Her eyes were set on Roxas, a fellow player in the game. He was well-liked, strong, and charismatic; qualities she believed were wasted on him. Her hatred for him was palpable.

    She couldn't stand the sight of Roxas, so revered and loved. It was a bitter pill to swallow, causing her twisted desires to grow stronger.

    Xion began plotting Roxas's downfall, her mind consumed with thoughts of revenge and the intoxicating allure of power.

    She knew that brute force would not work against Roxas. He was too strong, too skilled. Xion needed a plan that would catch him off guard.

    Days turned into weeks as she trained in secret, perfecting a deadly headscissor hold she intended to use on Roxas.

    Xion was careful to keep her plans hidden, masking her hatred for Roxas under a guise of camaraderie.

    The day finally came when Xion decided to put her plan into action. She challenged Roxas to a friendly duel, concealing her true intentions.

    Roxas, unsuspecting and confident, accepted her challenge. The stage was set for the imminent battle of wills.

    The duel began with Xion on the defensive, studying Roxas's movements and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

    Roxas was powerful, but Xion was quick and agile. She dodged his attacks and retaliated with her own, keeping him on his toes.

    Xion waited patiently, calculating each move, each dodge, and each attack. She was waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

    The moment finally came when Roxas, exhausted from the relentless attacks, left himself open. Seizing the opportunity, Xion launched herself at him.

    She wrapped her legs around his neck, effectively catching him in the deadly headscissor hold she had been practicing.

    Panic flashed in Roxas's eyes as he realized the gravity of the situation. He struggled to free himself, but Xion's hold was too strong.

    Xion watched as Roxas's struggles weakened, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. She could taste victory, and it was sweet.

    Suddenly, a surge of strength from Roxas caught her off guard. He managed to break free from her hold, throwing her off balance.

    Xion, taken aback, was left vulnerable. Roxas, seeing his chance, took advantage of her momentary lapse and counterattacked.

    The tide of the battle shifted. Roxas, fueled by adrenaline, took control of the fight. Xion found herself on the defensive.

    Despite the setback, Xion refused to give up. She fought back with renewed vigor, refusing to let Roxas gain the upper hand.

    The fight raged on, neither willing to back down. It was a testament to their wills, their determination, and their thirst for victory.

    In the end, it was Roxas who emerged victorious. Xion, despite her plotting and training, had been defeated.

    Xion, battered and bruised, stared at Roxas in disbelief. Her plan had failed, and Roxas stood victorious.

    Despite her defeat, Xion was not completely broken. She vowed to come back stronger, to defeat Roxas and claim the power she so desired.

    Roxas, oblivious to Xion's plans, left the battlefield victorious. Little did he know, the real battle was far from over.

    Xion, left alone on the battlefield, picked herself up. She looked at the setting sun, her resolve stronger than ever. This was not the end.
