CHAPTER ONE
Somewhere over the Pacific: 11:22 AM…
High above the waters a gigantic craft seemed to materialize out from nowhere. Inside, five sinister people appeared before the windows looking down at the ground, all wearing different colored uniforms and hair dyed to match, Red… Green… Blue… Yellow… and Pink, and all of them had names relating to their colors.
Red: Shani, the leader- A tall nineteen year-old guy with good looks.
Green: Jade- A nineteen year-old girl who had long green hair, but a rather vain personality.
Blue: River- A handsome young man but rather gothic looking and serious both in mind and senses.
Yellow: Blain- He was very chunky, and not the brightest of the group, but he hung around in any case for other reasons
And Pink: Fuchsia- a girl as tough as her nails were beautiful. Jade would often accuse her of trying to look prettier than she.
But the five of them had come from a very faraway place on a secret mission; all of them carried odd looking devices on their wrists, and strange scouters over their right eyes.
"So this is what the ocean looks like in this day?" asked Fuchsia.
"Sure is." replied Shani "Doesn't look like much of a sight to me. If anything it looks rather primitive."
"Man, I wish we had stopped over a city or something. I'm starving." groaned Blain. This was really starting to annoy his teammates "Can't you ever think about anything besides your stomach?" River asked annoyingly. "Can't you ever brighten up for once?" asked Jade as she gazed at herself in a mirror and ran her fingers through her hair.
River and Fuchsia both rolled their eyes and shook their heads in dismay.
Blain put his hand on his hips and scoffed, "Hey, I can't help it if I've got a healthy appetite. What do you say, Shani, can't we stop off for lunch? I'm wasting away here?"
"We'll stop off somewhere later. Just keep in mind, all of you, that we have a job to do. So I suggest you start looking for our targets. We can't let them interfere with our plans any longer."
Duel Academy: 11:45 AM…
Lee, Megan, Marc, and Tony…
They sure quite a first year at Duel Academy, and were already Ra Yellow students thanks to their heroics some time ago, but now, it seemed the months had gone by too quickly and summer was just around the corner. This meant, final exams were coming, and Marc was really cramming hard with his studies while it seemed that his siblings were only slacking off. "You guys realize if we don't pass our exams we may not get to come back next term."
"Duh, you think we don't know that?" snapped Megan.
"Marc, all you've ever done all week is study." said Tony "Why don't you just let loose and relax a while?"
"Now there's something I could go for." Lee said as he yawned and stretched out, but Marc thought that typical of his older brother, always preferring to slack instead of study, but he knew the one thing that would snap him out of it, "Hey, Lee… Tami's coming."
Hearing that made Lee jump like a cork popped form a bottle, and he panicked about going "Tami?! Where? Where is she? Don't let her see me! Oh, I got to hide!" but he suddenly stopped when Marc and the others laughed at how silly he looked. "Very funny."
Then suddenly, Tami actually appeared, in her senior Slifer Red blazer for all to see, and a lot of the students were envious of how pretty she looked, the Clark boys even thought she was rather a pretty sight, but Megan could only scoff "Seriously, Tami? Can't you find anything better to do than parade around like a toddler?"
"Huh!" scoffed Tami "For your information I've just been promoted, and permitted to come back next term. I don't even have to take my exams."
"What?!" snapped Tony "But how did you…?"
"Duh, that's what having a rich daddy is for. He is so going to pay off for my exam fees."
"Tami, that's absurd." said Marc "Professor Mykan never accepts bribes, and you won't learn anything either if you don't take your exams."
Tami took no notice and felt overjoyed, and then she noticed Lee "Aw, don't worry snookum. I'll be here next year; I know you will be too."
Lee hated it when she called him baby names, "Whatever, Tami." he said as he got up to leave, but Tami mysteriously appeared before him. "What? But how did…?"
Tami went on and showed Lee her invitation to the end of term dance. "So, are you going with anyone special, I'm not." And she gave him the tradition fluttering eyelids and hopeful grin, but Lee keeping his cool "Gee, I'd love to, but I have things to do that night, like… not even go!"
Tami felt her heart freeze and drop, as usual, and her features hardened, but she wasn't one to give up. Someday she would make Lee like her.
"Aw, poor Tami; Guess you're going stag then." Megan teased.
"At least I'll have higher passing grades and a better style than your out of date cloth rag."
"I'm in Ra Yellow. My grades are already higher than yours."
The two girls glared at each other and almost thought of challenging each other to a duel right then and there, the boys seemed excited about it when suddenly the ground just swallowed them up. Tami turned and gazed in confusion, and that was when Megan vanished too. "Where did your brothers…?" then Tami noticed Megan was gone. "Huh!"
The spies landed in Jerry's office. "Good afternoon, Spies." he said kindly.
"And what's good about it?" grumbled Megan.
"It's nothing really, Jerry." Marc said.
"I see…" replied Jerry, and he cleared his throat. "Spies, I have called you here because we have been receiving a mysterious signal." He flipped on the monitor to show the spies the location the signal from coming from. It was the international WOOHP distress signal known to only WOOHP agents, but mysteriously Jerry's computer came up with something exceedingly baffling. "According to our computer data, the signal is being transmitted by the four of you."
"WHAT?!" snapped the spies "But how can we be doing it?" asked Tony "We're all right here, and we're not in danger."
"All the more reason I want you all to investigate." Jerry said "But be warned, it could be a trap."
He supplied the spies with their gadgets and sent them off. "Good luck, Spies." And one by one the spies donned their uniforms and were off in their jet-plane.
The signal was coming somewhere from an island in the Atlantic, but the spies weren't the only ones homing in on it…
"I found them." cried Blain "I got their signal."
"Where is it?" asked Shani, and soon he was shown the exact position.
"Wow! You actually did something right for once." mocked Jade. Blain's head throbbed in anger, but suddenly there was another blip on their ship's screen, indicating another vessel was making its way there. "Well, it looks like we might be running into some trouble." River said.
"Please…" Fuchsia said "When has there ever been a problem we couldn't solve? Especially with our… you know what!"
"Yes. If it comes to such terms, so be it." agreed Shani "Nothing will stop us from completing our mission. The world is as good as ours."
The spies were still confused as to how they could have been the ones sending the WOOHP signal. Marc tried every computer program he knew but she still couldn't identify anything to tell them what they needed to know.
"Well, whatever's going on we're soon to find out." Lee said "Hang on, we're going in."
After touchdown, the spies flew towards the island landing in the middle of a jungle. "Keep your eyes peeled." Marc said.
Tony had a hard time fighting his way through the brambles and thickets, especially those that kept smacking him across the face. "Would if could." he complained.
The signals were suddenly getting stronger. "It's just up ahead." Megan said. After fighting their way through more of the foliage, and there stood four tall people garbed in brown cloaks and hoods. "Hey there…" called Lee.
The people turned to face them were glad to see the spies. "We hoped you'd come." one of them said.
Lee stepped forward. "My name's Lee. This is-"
"We already know who you are." One of the cloaked figures said "But we don't have too much time to explain."
"We came here to give you these." And the handed to the spies a small pocket-sized box. "Please get them to WOOHP and let Jerry see them. He'll know what to do."
"But… who are you guys?" asked Marc.
"And how do you know of us and WOOHP?" added Tony.
The strangers insisted there was no time for them to explain and that they had to get back to WOOHP fast. "Hurry, they'll be here any second!"
"Ugh! Who's going to be here?" snapped Megan, but suddenly the tree branches began to swish in a violent breeze that started so suddenly. "What's going on?" asked Lee, but the next thing he and others knew, one of the strangers held up her ring, which zapped the spies with a blue light and they vanished in an instant.
No sooner done, then a bright beam of light shone on the strangers and lifted them up into the sky.
