A/N: Most of the new X-Drives in this FF is based off of cards from Yugioh Zexal, Bakugan series, and Pokemon moves but this is no way a crossover of any kind.

In Lokar's lair.

Lokar sat at his throne, looking very weak.

"It seems that Draquilar was a greater loss than I had originally thought. Without as much Inner Kairu as I used to have, I'll need to send out my "aces". One may be a member short, but I'm confident that they'll be able to capture the Kairu I need." He shouted" María! Kayla! In here NOW!" Two shadowed figures of girls came before him.

"Yes Master Lokar," they asked together.

"From now on, you will be participating in missions. Not all of them, but there will be some for you." He held up two X-Readers, both pure red. He threw them to the girls, and they both caught them easily.

"From now on, instead of you're old standard X-Readers, you'll use these specific ones. They'll work much better for you, and have a little surprise. Now, get some rest. In the morning, I'm sure I'll sense a Kairu deposit for you to hunt." They both nodded.

"Yes Master Lokar." They disappeared from his sight as he laughed evilly.

In the Morning

Everyone was up and at the counter while Mookee was serving up some biscuits and gravy.

Boomer smiled."This always makes me feel like I'm at home!" Suddenly, Master Boaddai's astral projection showed up.

"Good morning Team Stax. I'm sorry to cut breakfast short, but there's a Kairu deposit somewhere in Alabama. I need you to go and find it."

Ky nodded."That's fine. Since breakfast is already made, we can get some food in our stomachs while Mookee pilots the X-Scaper. It's a bad idea to go on a mission without some food in our stomachs."

Master Boaddai nodded."Very well then. I'll see you when you get back, hopefully with the Kairu." Before anyone could say anything, he disappeared.

Maya shrugged."Oh well. I guess Master B didn't want to smell breakfast again."

Mookee nodded and stood up."Well, you guys eat, and I'll fly the X-Scaper to Alabama."

In Lokar's Lair

Lokar's eyes were closed, but then they suddenly opened.

"Kayla! María!"

The two shadowed figures appear again."Yes Master Lokar?"

He smiled at their obedience."There's a new Kairu deposit somewhere in Alabama. I want you to collect it, and try to get your other mission started."

They both nodded."Yes Master Lokar." They disappeared from his sight.

He laughed evilly.

In Alabama

Mookee looked at the navigation device."Looks like we'll be heading out to Montgomery. I'll turn on the camouflage now, since I don't want to freak out the humans down there." Ky nodded. "Good idea Mookee. We don't want the army firing at us." From the outside, the X-Scaper disappeared. "There we go. Now we can move around freely." He looked at the scanners. "It looks like it's in the suburbs of Montgomery. We're getting close, so I'll try and land as close as I can without causing any problems. I'll just land on the roof of a building that the roof isn't used." He found one quickly and landed.

Ky smiled."That's great Mookee." He turned to his only female teammate. "Can you sense the Kairu yet?"

She shook her head."I can't sense it at all, so it must be a pretty far walk, but we can make it there if we go quickly." They all got off.

Then, Boomer realized something."Uh, is there a way to get up to this roof from the building?"

Mookee smiled, looking pretty proud of himself."Nope! I made sure of that so no one would mess with the X-Scaper during this Kairu Quest." Ky face palmed himself, and Boomer rolled his eyes, but Maya smiled.

"Don't worry Mookee. I've got an idea." She pulled out her X-Reader. "INVISIBILITY!" Suddenly, they were all invisible, short of Mookee. "We can just climb down the building without anyone ever seeing us." If anyone could've seen him, Ky would've been smiling.

"Great idea Maya! Let's get going!" They started climbing down as best as they could without proper footholds.

Once they got to the ground, Maya let go of the attack, and they faded back into sight. Luckily, everyone was too busy to even notice three teenagers just appeared out of nowhere.

Ky turned to Maya."So, do you sense the Kairu yet?"

She shook her head.

"It's too far away. I guess Mookee didn't part close enough for me to sense it yet. What does your X-Reader say?" He looked at it.

"It's that way," he pointed in a direction, "so we'll go there, wherever there is." Boomer nodded.

"But we'd better walk. I highly doubt Lokar or his E-Teens are ready to go on a Kairu Quest this soon after we won just the tournament and this soon after Lokar totally got his butt kicked by Master B." Ky nodded.

"Yeah, I guess there's no need to rush. And besides, if there are E-Teens in the area, we'll beat them. There's only Team Radicore and Team Imperiaz anyway. The Hiverax are gone, and we haven't seen the Battacor in a long time." From afar, the two girls were looking on. One of them laughed.

"Obviously, they have no idea that we're here, Team Astral, right Kayla?" Kayla nodded.

"We've never seen battle, but there's a good reason for that. But, we've gotta go María. We can't let them see us too soon."

María nodded, and they left, still following closely behind Team Stax.

As Team Stax walked around Montgomery they finally found the relic. It was an old water pump.

"That was easy. And no E-Teens either." Maya said.

They all got out their X-Readers, ready to drain the Kairu, but then two girls jumped from a tree and landed in front of them.

One had long brown hair with blue stripes in it that was held up in pintails with silver stars, had the same brown eyes as Maya, wore a white tank top, a sleeveless blue jean jacket over her tank top, a green long back skirt, a double belt with the same type of star that held up her hair in the middle, her red X-Reader was on the left of her double belt, light blue leggings, she wore black heel boots, and had two silver bracelets on each arm.

The other girl had blonde hair that was in a long ponytail, her wavelike bangs were on the sides of her face, she had the same blue eyes as Ky, had a purple spike headband in her hair, a plain pink tank top, a purple mini over jacket over her tank top, a matching puffy purple skirt, purple heel boots, a gold spike belt around her waist, a gold bracelet on each hand, and her red X-Reader was attached to a thick gold bracelet on her right shoulder.

The first girl smiled. "So, you're Team Stax. Not as impressive as Master Lokar made you out to be. Well, we're Team Astral. I'm María, and that's Kayla. Now you know us. I'm surprised your own little Kairu detector couldn't sense us, but I guess we're just better trained than you."

Ky was a bit shocked."Another new team of E-Teens?" He smiled. "Looks like Lokar's getting desperate. "Astral"? How dumb of a name is that?"

Kayla glared at him. "And what kind of a name is "Team Stax"? That just shouts 'my ego is too big to fit in my tiny little head'!"

Ky smirked."At least I've got a full team. Where's your third member, or were they too scared to face us? I wouldn't blame them if they were."

María laughed. "It doesn't take a third member to kick your butts! Kairu Challenge!" They both put their fists together and bowed slightly.

Ky smirked even more."Challenge Accepted."

The clouds gathered together and there was a large blue cloud above them.

Ky pulled out his X-Reader, and pulled two cards out of a wheel. "METANOID!" Metanoid appeared behind him.

Boomer pulled out his own X-Reader and pulled two cards from a wheel. "FROZTOK!" Froztok appeared behind Boomer.

Maya pulled out her own X-Reader and pulled two cards from a wheel. "HARRIER!" Harrier appeared behind Maya.

María then pulled her own X-Reader from her belt and pulled two cards from a wheel. "GENOME-HERITAGE!" A horse with a blue and red blanket with gold tips at the ends and a flowing main with knots tied at the base appeared behind her.

Kayla pulled out her own X-Reader from her shoulder and pulled two cards out of a wheel. "GALAXY-EYES!" A dragon with a body made of light with space like eyes appeared behind her.

Boomer smiled. "Let me start this off with a hello! BLIZZARD AXES!" Two green axes appeared in his hands, which he threw at the two new E-Teens, but they easily dodged by jumping over them.

María laughed. "Nice move, but can you stop this one? HERALDRY BURST!" She projects a blast of red light at Boomer.

"STAR SMASH!" The two attacks met in the middle, canceling each other out.

Kayla smiled. "Finally I get to have some fun! PHOTON TORNADO!" A green light tornado appeared out of her hands, which she targeted at Maya, who barely managed to avoid it by flipping backwards.

"Looks like this won't be easy. FEATHER DAGGERS!" Maya shot multiple razor sharp feathers from her hands, which Kayla barely managed to avoid.

"Impressive Maya. But not as impressive as this: HERALDRY IMPACT!" María then jumped high into the air and flipped, then became surrounded by red energy and came crashing straight at Maya.

Maya then flew back into a building.

Kayla then smiled. "This has been fun, it's time to end this. PHOTON ARAURA!" A purple light then came out of the sky and hit Team Stax.

The sky then turned back to normal.

"We win!" María said excitedly.

Both her and Kayla drained the Kairu from the water pump. They both then fly off.

At the Monastery

They all came out of the X-Scaper, where Master Boaddai was waiting.

"It seems you didn't manage to collect the Kairu?"

Ky nodded."Yeah. Today was a really weird day, but first, I've gotta explain what happened." He then related to Master Boaddai what had happened, everything from this morning to their encounter with Team Astral. "And Team Astral managed to get the Kairu." Master Boaddai nodded.

"I see. This is a very interesting Astral, hm? I'll have to meditate on this matter. But for now, get some rest. You were out on this quest for most of the day, and need some time to relax."

Boomer cheered."Yes! Down time!"

In Lokar's Lair

Lokar smiled as Kayla and María came up to him.

"Ah, so you managed to get the Kairu after all." Kayla nodded as she got on one knee in respect. She then held out her X-Readers to Lokar.

"This has made me very pleased."

Then a space like hole appeared and three figures in cloaks hopped out of it, then it closed. The one on the left had a large rectangular sapphire pendant on her neck, the one on the right had a large rectangular Jasper pendant in the same place, and the one in the middle had a large rectangular emerald pendant in the same place as the other two.

Lokar smiled evilly. "Good, you three made it."

"We couldn't ignore you, Master Lokar." The middle one said.

And that's it for this chapter.
