Note: I do not "own" any of these characters (except for Jade) or the show. This is supposed to be the beginning of Season 4, but my version of it.

Chapter 1: New Arrivals

The Technos have arrived and have taken many people as their prisoners. The remaining Mall Rats are heartbroken, but angry. Who are these people? What do they want? As they are sitting in the mall, Pride goes out to try and save people from being taken away from the Technos, and to find out who they are. He sees from behind a trash can people being loaded into a truck. He wondered what power the Technos had over everyone? Why were the people of the city giving in so easily? As Pride watched the kids being loaded into the truck he knew there was nothing he could do to stop it. He started to walk back to the mall when he was grabbed and pulled into an alley.

Pride was slammed up against the wall. He looked at his attacker. To his surprise, it was a girl. She was tall and thin. She has long brown hair and the front pieces of her hair were pulled back. She has a blue feather sticking out of the back of her hair. She has fair skin and green eyes. On her face was a silver glittery tribal marking that went across the right side of her forehead and across her left cheek, with a black like going across her nose and cheek, connecting the two silver lines. She was wearing a blue-green shirt with a black mesh top over it. She was wearing skin- tight blue leather pants. On her feet were black boots and draping over her was a long blue trench coat. She was a beautiful girl, but very strong. Pride could tell by the look on her face that he did not intimidate her at all. Still holding him against the wall she asks him, with an attitude "Are you a mallrat?" Out of breath, Pride choked out "Yes." "Good", she said. She let him go and he just stared at her. "Maybe you can help me." Pride finally caught his breath and said, "Sure, what's the problem?" "Well, I heard that you mallrats are pretty popular around here and that you help people and stuff. I was wondering if maybe I can stay with you guys 'til the rest of my tribe is found." Pride looked at her, not knowing what to say. How can he make such a big decision? He figured that one more person wouldn't hurt, since half the mallrats were missing anyway. "Will you kill me if I say no?" he replied. The girl looked him in the eye and said "Maybe." Speechless, Pride just stared at the girl. After a few minutes she smiled. Knowing that she was joking, Pride nodded and said, "Come on." and the two began to walk towards the mall.
