Chapter 1

Kimberly walked down the halls of Angel Grove High. At 5'5" she had trouble seeing over the crowds in the hallway. She ran a hand through her brown hair and looked at her schedule one more time. Her lithe body seemed to slide between the crowded hallways. Her brown eyes scanned the halls. For a second she thought she saw a guy with purple hair going into a classroom but she shrugged it off as a trick of the light. Her next class was all the way on the other side of school from her first class. The school was much larger then the middle school that she attended, needing two stories to encompass all the classrooms. Being the first day of school Kim should have been overwhelmed by the newness of everything, but after what she had gone though in the past week school paled in comparison. She started to run when she saw the time. Suddenly an older guy slammed into her knocking her books to the ground. Papers scattered across the hall.

"Damn it!" Kim said under her breath. The junior just kept walking down the hall with out even an apology. Kim knew she would be late and started cleaning up the papers. No one even stopped to help her until a girl stopped in the hall starting to pick up papers. Even though it was still August and in Southern California she was wearing a long dress. It was a light pastel purple that complemented her lilac colored hair. Her skin was pale and smooth like porcelain. Kim believed that if she was to touch her that her skin would be cold. She smiled at Kim when she handed her the papers. Kimberly was always told that she was gorgeous but this girl blew her away. Kim had classic cheerleader looks mostly because she did gymnastics. She had high cheek bones and her face was delicate and smooth. The girl's face looked like a doll's. It was flawless and her light purple eyes seemed to have a warmth all their own. The girl looked at Kim's class schedule and smiled.

"You have your next class with him. That should be interesting." She said as she handed the paper back. Up close Kim could see the light red lipstick she wore. Unlike Kim who blended her make up in so it was barely noticeable the girl's makeup stood out due to the paleness to her skin, but not comically so. She smiled as she went to walk away.

"Hey my name is Kimberly."

"I'm Pearth and I'll see you around." She said as she walked out of view. Kim took off running to her class. After just barely making it to her English class Kim looked around at the people she would spend the year with.

Sitting behind her was her best friend Trini. Trini was a Vietnamese girl that was about the same height as Kim with black hair and brown eyes. She was skilled in martial arts, knowing Mantis and Wing-chung kung fu. Trini was kind and generous always willing and ready to help. In front of Kim was the first friend she ever made in Angel Grove. His name was Billy. He had sandy blonde hair and green eyes. He was about 5'9" and while he wasn't very toned he had the potential to be a hunk in her opinion. He was a typical nerd. He wore glasses and used pocket protectors. He had a habit of using big words when he spoke. Half the time she needed Trini to translates what he said. Beside Kim was another friend named Zach. He was a dancer that put dancing into everything that he did. He even invented a fighting style called Hip-Hopkedo. While he tried to be an optimist he at times had a defeatist attitude. Behind him was his best friend named Jason. He was a black belt in karate and very well built. He was built like a football lineman. He was courteous and liked to help people. He even taught karate at the juice bar. Billy was one of his students.

"Good morning class." The teacher said as she walked in. She was a large woman that looked kind of like Mrs. Clause. She smiled warmly at the class.

"My name is Ms. Applebee. I will be your English teacher. Answer when you hear your name."

As she called off names Kimberly listen to figure out who in the class she knew. For the most part she knew all the kids. They had went to middle school together so she paid attention to the people she didn't know. For the most part none of them made any impression but one voice made her turn around. It was a very sweet sounding voice with an English accent. The name that was called was Xavier Masters. He had long black hair and was very well built. He had wide shoulders and a thick neck. His barrel chest strained against his shirt as did his large arms. He had a strong jaw and his face was full. His most noticeable feature was his blue eyes. They were sharp and hard at complete contrasted to his voice. Ms. Applebee continued on with the role but Kim didn't hear it.

After school Kim and her friends went to the local youth center. It was owned by a jolly man named Ernie. Almost to fit his disposition Ernie was a large man. He had come to California from Hawaii. Ernie believed that everyone should have a place to have fun and he encouraged people to try new things. He was the reason Billy tried karate. Kim and Trini sat at a table while Jason and Zach sparred on big mats in the middle of the floor. Billy was at the juice bar getting drinks. When he sat down they called the others over. They nodded ok and then went back to sparring. Kim just nodded her head as she thought of the amount of time they put in to sparring. Honestly it was no different then the amount of time she put in to her routines. As Jason landed a huge kick he heard someone bust out laughing. Helping Zach up Jason looked at the one who laughed. His eyes met with Xavier.

Xavier was sitting at a table with four other people. One was a red headed boy. His green eyes seemed to take in everything as he looked around. His body had a track build and he seemed uninterested about everything his eyes took in. Beside him was a Japanese boy. He was taller then most Orientals. His body had a similar build to Jason's. His black hair seemed to stand straight up in a very spiky hair style. Xavier sat in the middle with a purple haired boy. His skin was very tanned and looked like leather almost as if he had spent too much time in the sun. While he wasn't the biggest guy there he had an air about him that seemed to dare people to mess with him. His purple eyes were the exact opposite of Pearth's very hard and uncaring. Pearth sat on his right holding his hand.

"You see something funny?" He asked.

"I just thinking that I could do better in my sleep." Xavier said.

"You want to come down here and say that." Zach said angrily.

"Sure." He said as he walked to the mat. "What I said was that you aren't shit. Not that you're much better." He motioned to Jason.

"You want to put your money where your mouth is?" Zach asked rolling up on Xavier.

"No you're not even worth my time. I could beat you while in a coma."

"Sounds like a cop out to me." Zach said with a sneer. Normally he didn't let someone get under his skin but this guy just rubbed him the wrong way. He wanted to shut him up.

"Don't worry about it he'll take care of you." Xavier said gesturing to the purple headed boy. He got up and went beside Xavier. He almost had a sneer on his face when he got there.

"Even if we fight two on one isn't fair so how about you get one of your friends." Jason said eyeing the others at the table. The Japanese kid got up and came down. He had a small smile on his face.

"You ready for this Andor?" He asked his friend.

"Yeah let's do this Tony." He said. "Tag team rules?"

"What?" Zach said.

"Tag team means only two people on the mat at a time. If you want to change you have to tag in your partner."

"O.k. then let's do this then." Jason said. He and Zach went to one side and Tony and Andor to the other. Andor and Zach went on the mat first. Zach started by throwing a punch combination but none of it connected. Andor started throwing kicks. Zach couldn't follow the blur of Andor's feet. All of them connected with Zach. He was rocked as he went down. Instead of finishing him he went over to Tony. Tony held out his hand for the tag. Tony walked onto the mat and threw Zach so he could tag Jason in. Jason took his time approaching Tony. He began by throwing out a small combination. Tony blocked the assault and then sent his own out. Jason showed his skill by blocking the barrage just as Tony had his. For the next few minutes they seemed to test each other each one trying to get the upper hand. After a while Zach got on the mat to try a double team but he was met by Andor. This time instead of using karate Zach fought with his style. Hip-Hopkedo confounded Andor for a while preventing him from launching a successful attack. Before it could get out of hand though Pearth spoke up.

"You need to stop." She said.

"Aw come on it was just getting fun." Tony said almost pouting. Jason smiled because honestly he was feeling the same way. He was almost going all out on him and Tony was keeping up. There were competitions where that didn't happen. Him and Tony slapped hands as did Zach and Andor. They were having as much fun trying to outdo each other in fancy moves.

"We've got to do this again." Jason said as they grabbed some towels that Ernie had laid out for them. Tony nodded his head in agreement. Andor and Zach made similar arrangements. Jason invited them to go to his table.

"I'll introduce my friends. The red head is Jason, this tall drink of oriental water is Tony, the two love birds are Andor and Pearth, and I am of course Xavier."

"Well I am Jason. This is Billy, Zach, Trini, and Kim." Jason said as he introduced his friends around the table. Xavier knew them from class but the others said their hellos. Kim was shocked that the purple haired boy she saw this morning was real. They sat down with Tony and Jason sitting near each other to talk while Zach and Andor did the same. Pearth sat as close to Andor as she could with out sharing a seat. Jason sat by Trini as he thought she was cute and Xavier sat by Kim because she motioned for him to.

"Well first things first. We need a nickname for one of the Jason so that we don't confuse them." Kim said.

"Just call me Eagle." The Jason by Trini said.

"Why Eagle?" Trini asked.

"Old nickname I had when I was younger." He said with a smile. Trini grinned back. The others laughed and they started their own conversations. The girls were talking about shopping and their favorite stores. Xavier threw his two cents in when ever he could. Sitting this close to him Kim smelt a faint hint of tobacco and soil on him. Eagle and Billy were talking about some science discovery or another. While if Eagle saw it he didn't say anything but Billy seemed to try to stare a hole in him any time he looked at Trini. Tony and Jason were talking about martial arts and their favorite fighters. Andor was talking with Zach about movies and music. They had gotten in a debate about which were better horror or suspense movies. Their conversations continued for about an hour until Kim glanced at her watch.

"Oh my god I have got to go." She said jumping up from the table.

"Where do you live?" Xavier asked.

"Off of Lincoln."

"I live close to there how about I walk you home."

"Sure."

"See ya'll later." Xavier said as he got up to go. He picked her books and they headed for the door.

Angle Grove was a small city in southern California surrounded by the moa vie desert. The city counsel a few years back made sure that the city stayed green. Angle Grove had its own lake and was also partly in the southern part of the Rockies. Xavier and Kimberly walked through a local park. The grass was full and green and the trees reminded everyone that summer break had just ended. They talked about English and other classes that they had. She told him about gymnastics and he told her about wrestling. He was amazed with the conditioning that allowed her to move so limberly. She was impressed that he could throw people that weighed as much as him. He told her about where he lived in England and she told him about Angel Grove. After a while they ran out of topics and just enjoyed each others company. Kim was shocked at how easily their banter had been upheld. The silence they walked in was not uncomfortable but at ease. Kim thought he was cute and he had a bit of charm but also a little coldness to him. For some reason that made him more appealing. Just before they reached the other side of the park several grey colored creatures landed in front of them.

"Putties!" Kim screamed. She turned to run but found more behind them. She turned to gauge the reaction of Xavier. She expected him to do like most people and run. When he was safely away she would morph. Instead he put her books down then set his own book bag down.

"Kim go and get help. I'll hold them off." He said calmly getting into a fighting stance. Kim's eyes went wide as he grabbed the nearest putty and proceed to slam it into the ground. He then turned and started throwing devastating punches. Every time he hit a putty it fell like a ton of bricks.

'What a joke.' Xavier thought to himself, 'these things can't even take my lightest hits. This is getting annoying.' Another putty went down to his hits.

Not to be out done Kim started to fight the creatures. She jumped at one and kicked it right in the chest. Using her momentum she rolled on the ground to a crouching position. Leaping up she slammed another putty in the head with a devastating kick. She wished Xavier had ran so she could call her friends. She turned to see how he was doing. There was a pile of putties surrounding him. He slammed another one with a clothesline and caused it to flip over him. One ran at him. Ducking down Xavier grabbed it at the thighs and lifted the creature up into the air. It went flying over his head and came crashing down on top of other putties that were on the ground.

The putties seemed to understand that Xavier was the greater threat of the two. One after another started to pile up on him dragging him down under their weight. He was still swinging for the fences when it got to be just too much for him. He disappeared under the mass of putties.

'What the fuck!!! There is no way I am going down to these fucking beasts.' Xavier thought as he started trying to get the off of him. 'Damn it is like fighting an ant hill. Take out some and you don't make a debt in the swarm.'

"No!" Kim screamed as she ran at the pile. Two more putties grabbed her and restrained her. Another walked in front of her to finish her off. She couldn't even fight back. The last thoughts she had were of the innocent boy that had died to protect her.
