Chapter 1

It was a typical morning day at Hollywood Arts high school. Tori, Andre, Cat, Jade, Beck, Robbie and Rex where all hanging out talking at there usually spot near the lockers when Tori spoke: "Hey guys did you hear about the news that there is a lighting storm heading this way?"

Andre, Beck and Robbie nodded, Jade just rolled her eyes which irritated Tori a bit, and Cat seemed a little scared of the up coming storm. Tori saw this and put her hand onto Cat's back and started rubbing her back. Which made Cat smile and a blush crept up here face. Jade saw this and felt like going over there push Vega to the ground and put her arm around Cat. Jade felt like she just wanted to tell Beck that she was not interested in him and tell him that she was in love with Cat, but she knew that if she told him Beck would throw a fit and God knows what he would do. Jade decided to look at her feet, lost in her thoughts until Andre spoke: " Yeah I heard that last night. Its kinda that there would be a thunderstorm in LA especially in the middle of summer."

Beck, Robbie and Tori nodded at the comment. "One time my brother was under a tree during a storm then the tree got on fire and it fell on my brother" They all look at Cat strangely has she finished one of her random stories. Jade looked up when Cat was telling her story and she just loved how Cat told her stories, even though it didn't makes sense. Tori also loved how Cat spoke. All joy, energetic high pitch, and full of life and she just wanted to be with Cat but she couldn't because Tori was with Andre and Robbie was with Cat and she does not know how they will react, especially Robbie. Cat on the other hand loved when Tori was rubbing her back to contort her. She also noticed that Jade was blushing and looked straight down to her feet and Cat thought that it was to hide her embarrassment. She loved both Jade and Tori ever since Jade and Cat knew each other and when Tori first came to Hollywood Arts. She tried to hide her temptation by dating Robbie because Cat's parents are extremely anti-gay people and want all gays to go to HELL. Even if Cat wanted to be with Jade and Tori she cant because Robbie was way too protective and he wanted Cat all to himself. She just hoped that there was a way to break off with Robbie and still be friends with him and just be with Jade and Tori but she knew that everybody else would not like, especially her parents, Beck, Andre and Robbie.

"Was he alright?" Robbie ask as he sat between Cat and Tori which he slightly shoving or pushing Tori away from her. Tori notice and glared at Robbie at what he just did but he didn't seem to mind on what he did. Jade also saw this and started glaring at Robbie, WAIT! Since when did Jade actually cared what just happen then she started to fell something in her gut. At first she thought that the coffee was bad after she drank it, but the feeling was more than an upset stomach; she felt that she need to also protect Tori as well. Did Jade actually like Tori the same way she felt towards Cat? Cat saw the way how Robbie push his way between her and Tori and she just couldn't push him back because she was afraid that something would happen.

"Oh yeah he is fine well not really he has a nasty scar on his arm and several burn spots on his body." Cat said mustering all she could to not sound sad but Tori and Jade caught this and they knew that she was on what Robbie just did not about her brother getting hurt.

"Oh uh hope he's alright" Andre said to break the silence because he could sense the the tension and the awkwardness building and he also saw the way Robbie basically push Tori to the said and it made him quite angry at his actions. He turns to face Beck and he sees that Beck is smirking at what happened. This starts to get Andre mad at him and Beck but hold his growing anger down and his facial expression normal the best he could.

The bell rang with its unusual rhythm and the gang had a few minutes to get to their first class. "Alright you guys we'll see you later" Beck said as he kissed Jade and she force herself to kiss him back and left then Jade told Cat and Tori that she will see them later at lunch.

Robbie then told them that he has to hurry to his class and before Cat could say goodbye to Andre and Tori, Robbie grabbed her wrist and practically drag her to their class, which left Andre and Tori in the hallway and the near empty hallway. Before Tori could leave, Andre touch her shoulder and she immediately turned around with a bit of fear in her eyes. She expected Andre to do the same thing to what Beck did to Jade and Robbie to Cat but to her shock he didn't, instead he had worry and concern in his eyes.

"We need to talk Tori", was all Andre said. This caught Tori off guard and fear was coming up inside of hear fearing that he might do something that will harm her.

He grabbed her wrist and to Tori's surprise he didn't use any hard grip and he drag her into the janitors closet and checked to make sure there is no one there sleeping. Tori was against the wall and Andre close the door and facing Tori: fear was coming up inside of her because so many things was going through her mind all at once and some were disturbing while others were abusive.

Andre cleared is throat and started the conversation: "I know whats going on Tori between you and Cat". Andre said in a normal tone that showed no anger at all which caught Tori by surprise. But she was still scared on how he knew and if he would tell. She straighten herself but still had that worried look on her face and looked down and spoke to Andre in a tone as if she was about to cry. "How did you found out?" She said in a tone that was close to crying and showed fear.

Andre took in a deep breath and answer Tori's question. " I saw how the you looked at Cat and the way you talk to her and you have been spending a lot of time with her, and if you like Cat that way than who am I to judge ." He finish as if this does not bother in at all. Tori was shock and a bit relieve that Andre was actually cool with it this that going on between Tori and Cat. Tori took a deep breath and spoke to Andre: " Why are you cool with this Andre and shouldn't you be disgusted know that I like Cat that way? And she is a girl." Tori said in a piss off tone. The reason why was because she was treated differently at her old high school. There called her mean and horrible names and they always tease her and she was bullied by the other girls and she came close to making a random guy sleep with her in a last chance to change but at the last second she decided not to and she has to accepted who she was. Tori could still remember the memories of torment from her old high school and her way out was the Show Case that she did because her sister got a swollen tounge from eating shellfish. Then she remember meeting Cat for the first time and she felt those feeling coming back again and she doesn't know how to deal with them. Hell she still hasn't told her parents that she was a lesbian fearing that her family would reject her or something.

Andre decided to break the silence that was lingering around them. " The reason why I am cool with it Tor is because I don't see anything wrong with someone who is gay, in fact it makes them interesting because not many people are gay and those who are are usually afraid to show who that really are. I mean sure Cat is a girl but she is a spacial type of girl not like crazy or with mental issues that kind of way but as in a one-of-a-kind kind of girl that maybe comes by around once in a life time and you know if you like her then go for it Tori Im not stopping you Tor and I will support whatever you make and you can count on me with that." Andre finished with a smile and this made Tori relived but still a in shock. She thought that he would probably throw a fit or something but no, he was actually ok same sex relationship and knowing that he won't judge her or Cat and would support their relationship no matter what.

Tori gave Andre a tight hug. "Thank you so much Andre, I though you would be angry or something for me being gay and for loving Cat." Tori said, tears streaming down her face. Andre returned the gesture by giving her a light hug.

Andre left go of Tori and spoke, "Hey no problem Tori and don't worry your secret will be safe with me". He said with a smile on his face and made Tori feel a lot better knowing that Andre was a true best friend and she knew that he would trust her secret.

"Thank you so much Andre for doing this" She said as he started wiping the tears off her face. Andre just smiled and shrugged and replied. "Hey no problem Tori so how are you going to Cat on how you feel?" He said in a concerned tone. Tori thought it over and she knew that probably liked her too, but there is a problem. Robbie.

"I don't know, I me will she like me back and what about Robbie?" Tori said in a worried tone. She knew that Robbie liked Cat a lot and knew how obsessive and protective he can be. Andre thought over it and replied.

"Don't worry Tori, just tell Cat how you feel. You won't know until you try and for Robbie, during I'll talked to him, keeping him distracted while you hide in the bathroom. Cat will have to go to the bathroom, you can tell her there." He said, his plan was a good idea and Tori thought about it for a minute then nodded to his plan. He smiled and Tori gave him a hug.

"Thanks Andre for helping me" she said in a happy voice. Andre just smirked and hugged her back. Once they let go Tori checked her pear phone and gasped.

"Oh shit, Andre we are late for class." She said in a worried tone, Andre checked his phone and it was ten minutes after the bell rang. He pulled open the door and he and Tori got out of the janitor's closet into the empty all way.

"Well Andre I'll see you at lunch." Tori told him. "Sure thing Tori, see you at lunch," he said as they went there separate ways to their respective classes. Tori felt a little bit good knowing that Andre understands and has his full support. Little did Tori know or any of the gang was that something was going to happen soon.

meanwhile in the Gears of War universe:

" WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO BAIRD?" Marcus yell at Baird for he just did. Anya was trying to calm him down while Cole, Jace, and Dizzy was trying to hold him back from beating the living shit out of Baird. Anya and the others were also piss as hell for what Baird did but they knew how Marcus got when they lost Dom and he would make Baird pay for what happen with Sam and Carmine. Baird was backing up slowly rising his hands up in defense.

"Sorry you guys it was an accident I didn't know what the machine does." Baird said in his defense as he was still slowly moving back as Marcus was getting closer to him even though the others were trying to hold him back.

"Hey Baird what made you turn on the machine anyways?" Cole said has he Jace and Dizzy were trying to keep Marcus away from Baird. "I was just curious and seeing that it was made by Marcus's dad, I figured that it might help us but I didn't know that it would do that and I'm sorry." Baird finish with a sign. Marcus calmed down a bit and he and the others were baffled on how does Baird know that this machine was made by Marcus's father.

"How do you know that this machine was made by Adam Fenix?" Anya stated as she and the others manage to calm Marcus down. "Ya Baird how'd you know this was made by my father?" Marcus said as he was still piss on what happened to Sam and Carmine. The other gears turned around to face Baird as he cleared his throat and spoke: "The reason why this whatever this things is was made by Adam was because for starters this facility was on the outskirts of the machine that was used to kill the Lambent and the Locust. Second when we entered the facility I found this." Baird said as he pulled out what appeared to be a notepad and handed to Marcus which he took from his hand. On the front of the notepad it read Adam Fenix. He opened it and notice that on the front page was a list of experiments, at the top of the page it read "Failed Experiments." He scan down the list and was astonish on how so much his father tried to do during before and during the Pendelum Wars.

"My god, so many experiments your father has done Marcus." Anya said in a shock as she scrolled down the page. Cole, Dizzy and Jace were curious on what kind of experiments Marcus's dad has been doing for all this time. Once Marcus and Anya finish scanning the page he turn the page and was the same thing has the previous list, only this time the title read "Successful Experiments." There were only a few of his experiments that work. One was the creation of the Light Mass Bomb, Lancer with the built-in chainsaw, turning imulsion into fuel, the Hammer of Dawn and generator to wipe out the Locust ant the Lambent/Imulsion. (side note: I don't know what is the name of the generator so if anyone can tell me i would appreciated) Anya was stunned on how Adam Fenix was able to accomplish. Once they they were done with the page Marcus turned the page and was stunned at what he and Anya saw. On the page was a strange looking device that was similar to the machine that Baird found. In the diagram it was roughly about the same size the the generator Adam used to wipe out the Lambent and the Locust. It had several lights coming out of it and inside the machine it had several small pockets that house similar to substance found in the Hammer of Dawn and the Light Mass Bomb Project. On the bottom of the page has several chemicals: CO2, H2O, Nitrogen Dioxide, sulfer, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon base fuel and even hydrogen fuel cells, etc, etc then came a name that could not be possible and cannot be found on Sera. Dark Matter and what appears to be s really small about of cosmic energy thai is inside the meteorite. Marcus was thinking what in the hell was his father making with these things and Anya was in shock too. Marcus looked up to the title and it said that that made a cold chill down Marcus and Anya's spine knowing that this was impossible and it made them drop there Lancers, it read "Cross Reality Generator." Baird not knowing what he just did or what the machine was send two of his friends (plus Jack) to another reality.

Marcus and Anya were baffled on what they had just seen on the notepad and the generator and witness what they had just seen.

"Um hey guys are you two feelling alright?" Cole said a bit concern because his two friends (plus Jack) were not saying anything or moving, just watching the notepad with wide eyes and knowing that they just dropped their rifles must be serious. Dizzy and Jace were a bit worried because they had not been like this since the death of Dom and they were worried because whatever they are seeing on the notepad must have not been good and fear the worst for their missing two friends. Baird not knowing what he had just done was starting to feel a lump building inside of him because the way Marcus and Anya were looking at the notepad with worrying in their eyes and the way they dropped their Lancers in shock must not be good at all. Curse Baird's curiosity. It was silence for about 10 minutes until Marcus spoke up to Baird in a worry and serious tone. (side note. picture what Marcus is about to say in a tone that Adam Fenix uses during the hidden message in the ending of Gears 2 after the credits)

"Baird don't you know what you've just done?" This made every gear's spine shiver. Cole did not like the sound of that and the way Marcus said it made him worry as hell on where Baird sent Sam, Carmine and Jack especially Carmine because Delta had lost two out of the four Carmine brothers and it seems that Clayton has join his fallen brothers. Jace was a worried because the way Marcus said it made him some what scared. Even Dizzy was afraid because he has seen so many shit during the three wars (Pendelum, Locust, and Lambent) and had fought side by side with Marcus and his friends all the way. Now it seems that even Marcus who was this brave, strong, fearless soldier was know starting to worry up a bit. Baird on the other hand felt his stomach drop and his heart skip a beat up hearing Marcus on what he just said. He was now worried on what happen to Carmine, Sam and Jack, especially Sam. He has sorta of a crush on Sam (play through the campaign and you can tell that he likes Sam.) and know fearing that he may never see her of Carmine or Jack again. Baird decided to break the silence and the tension that was building.

"WHAT MARCUS. WHAT'S IN THE NOTEPAD" Baird said in a yell that caught everyone's attention. Marcus gave him the notepad back and told him that the generator that he just activated was a Cross Reality Generator. This caused everyone's eyes go wide and Baird's stomach drop hard and his heart to stop beating for a second or two. Cole could't believe what he is hearing. Carmine, Sam and Jack are in another reality, how is that even possible? I mean Cole had seen some impossible shit like making god like beams shoot from the sky, beating the relentless and seaming less unstoppable Locust Horde, and the dreadful, infectious Lambent. But I guess anything is possible if this is true. Jace and Dizzy were stunned and shock knowing that their is another reality but they don't know what kind of reality it is and they hope that their friends are alright. Anya was still baffled about this and now she wonders if Prescott or Hoffman has anything to do about this. She knows that Prescott kidnapped Marcus's father to build him Weapons of Mass Destruction for Prescott's own selfish reason. Marcus could still not believe that his father build this device, I mean sure Adam build devastating weapons like the Hammer of Dawn or chainsaw Lancer but a device that can alter reality and travel to other realities. ' Why did my father build a device like this?' Marcus though has this question kept playing over and over again. Anya noticed that Marcus was in deep though about this information and decide to see if he was ok.

"Marcus you alright?" Anya said concerned as Marcus was in deep though and he was not moving or talking. She place her right hand on his shoulder to contort him. Marcus snapped out of his though and looked at Anya with concern in her eyes, He takes a deep breath before answering.

"No Anya i'm not alright, our friends are gone to God knows where and there is too many things still unanswered." Marcus says has in defeated and worried tone that no one not even Anya say saw this before. The last few times Marcus was like this was when he thought that his father died in his house during the Locust invasion, when Dom sacrifice himself to save Marcus, Anya, Sam, Jace, and Dizzy, and when his father died after activating the machine. But Marcus thought it over and that maybe there is a chance to bring Carmine, Sam, and Jack back. He knew that there was a slim chance to bring them back and this was good enough for him to take and he is not going to let them die no matter where they are. He already lost a brother and he made a promise that no one else is going to die. Carmine, Sam, and Jack were part of the Delta family and they, no, WE ALL are more than a military unit, we are a family and family sticks together no matter what. We are brothers, more than brothers, we are a band of brothers and not matter what happens we are still brothers. Brothers to the last fight. Brothers to the Last Hour. Brothers to the Last Enemy. Brothers to the Last Breath. Brothers to the Last Bullet. Brothers to the Last Hope. Brothers to The End. Marcus straighten himself and cleared his throat before speaking in a serious voice.

"Alright everyone listen up" Marcus spoke that caught everyone's attention. "We are going to find a way to bring them back and here is the plan: Jace, Dizzy, I want you two to go back to the hotel and find any evidence that is related to the machine or anything that is related of my father and also look in my father's lab as well." "But Marcus what abo-" Jace was cut off as Marcus interrupted him. "No buts, no excuses Jace alright we don't have time for this kind of shit alright? Our brothers are somewhere in another reality that for all we know could be ten times worse. So no excuses I don't have time for this bullshit are we clear?" He spoke in a temper-buliding-voice and Jace knew better than to piss of someone like Marcus who lost his best friend since they were kids and his father who thought he was dead in one day. Jace decided not to argue with him and nodded at his decision. Marcus nodded Jace back and with that Jace and Dizzy went off to the hotel before they left Marcus told them to contact him if they found anything. Marcus then looked at Cole and Baird who were waiting for him to finish explaining his plan.

"Cole, I want you to guard the machine, since there are no more Locust or Lambent, doesn't mean that the Stranded will try to savage anything they can find." Marcus finishes as Cole replied. "Sure thing Marcus I'll make sure no one gets near the machine, and if they do then they will have to get pass the Cole Train Baby Whoooo." Cole finishes with one of his famous thrashball sayings. Marcus nodded then look at Baird before speaking.

"Baird I want you to inspect the machine and find anything you know about it. Also, search the entire facility, look for secret entrances, rooms or anything you can find that explains how this thing works and if we are able to either create one or repair it." He finishes with a neutral tone which Baird complied, but he was not satisfied knowing that he had to search the entire facility all by himself.

"Ok me and Anya will go to Anvil Gate and have a talk with Hoffman. He might know something about the facility or the machine." He said has he looked at Anya in which she nodded with a smile. This made Marcus smile in which he hardly ever does. "Sure thing Marcus, I'm pretty sure Hoffman might know something that we don't know. Knowing what we seen at the hotel and what your father told us about him and the COG, there is no doubt in my mine that he knows something." Anya replied in a serious tone. Well the plan was now in full swing as Baird got to work, Cole kept watch, Anya and Marcus left but not before speaking to Baird: "If you find anything Baird, make sure you contact me as soon as you find something." Baird complied with that statement and with that Marcus and Anya left the facility and started their journey tours Anvil Gate.

Meanwhile back at Hollywood Arts

It was lunchtime and everyone was at their usually table. Beck, Jade, Cat, Robbie, and Andre. Tori was hiding in the bathroom like what Andre told her so Tori could talk to Cat alone. It was a sunny day, but now the sky got really ugly with a mixture of grey and black clouds over LA and the school. It look like it about to pour down hard any minute now. Cat notice that Tori was not at the table and was nowhere to be found which made her worried because Tori never misses lunch and decided to go look for Tori. But if she left to go find Tori then Robbie would suspect something so she decided to make up an excuse.

"A'll be right you guys" Cat said as she got up. Robbie caught this and asked: "Where are you going Cat?" He said before she left. Cat though of an excuse quickly. "I really got to pee, be right back." With that she left off running inside the school, leaving the others in silence before asking her anything. Andre smirked a little which caught Beck and Jade's attention.

"Why are you smirking Andre?" Jade said suspiciously and curious as why he was smirking. He replied: "Oh nothing just remembering some the funny reactions I saw last night on the computer." He said even though its not true. "What kind of reactions?" Beck said has he put his arm around Jade which she just wanted to shove him back but she knew she couldn't so she had no choice but to endure this until the time has come. Andre replied to his question.

" The video was Two Girls One Finger." He said with a chuckle. Robbie had a disgusted look when he say the video, Rex was laughing his ass off, Beck had no clue what the video was and Jade just smirk when she first saw the video, While their conversation was going on, Cat was trying to find Tori. She check in front of the school, no Tori, in Sikowitz's classroom, no Tori, in music class, no Tori, the janitor's closet and still no Tori. Cat was about to burst into tears because she could not find Tori anywhere, but she was not about to give up yet. She decided to check the bathroom to see if she was there. Tori was waiting in the bathroom during the whole lunch period, she manage to eat a sandwich she bought from her house to calm her grumbling stomach. She was was about to walk out the stall when she heard someone coming in.

"TORI YOU IN HERE?" Tori stiffened when she heard hear name and knew who it was. It was her favorite little red head, Cat Valentine. The way Cat said her name made Tori's stomach flutter and her heart beat faster and her palms sweaty. Cat was about to cry and leave when she heard breathing coming from the last stall. "Tori is that you?" Cat said in a hopeful voice and hoping that it was Tori. Tori cursed herself mentally for breathing loudly and she decided that it was finally time. Tori slowly reach for the door of the stall, unlocked it and step out of the stall. Cat squeak and ran towards Tori and hugged the Latina girl in a strong hug with tears streaming down her face. Tori was surprise at how so much strength Cat had despite her size.

"C-C-Cat can you pl-ea-se let go of me." Tori desperately said has the air inside of her was being drained. Cat heard this and let go of her hug and Tori finally manage to breath.

"Oh I am so sorry Tori for hugging you so tightly." Cat said as she in a sad voice and put her hands over her face in sadness. Tori saw this and put her hands around the small girl and pull her into a hug. Cat returned the gesture by hugging her as well. Tori sniff Cat's hair and it smelled like sweet candy shampoo, and her perfume smelled like sweet candy. Cat on the other hand was enjoying Tori's comfort and Cat's stomach started to flutter and her heart beating faster. Tori let go of Cat to end the awkwardness when she was staring into Cat's brown eyes and all she found were innocents, joy and happiness your those eyes. Tori felt a blush creeping up her face and put her head down to hide her rosy cheeks. Cat also felt her cheeks turning red as her velvet hair and looked down to hide her burning cheeks. She knew that she loves Tori but did not know how to tell her but she felt scared if she would reject her like her parents did. Feeling awkward, Tori decided that it was time to tell Cat how she really felt tours her and Tori was praying to God that she liked her back. She looked back at Cat and stared into those brown eyes, took a deep breath and spoke.

"Cat, there is something that i need to tell you." She said in serious voice and it scared the red velvet girl a bit but she did not show it and waited to see what Tori wanted to say to her.

"Cat listen, ever since I first saw you at Hollywood Arts my stomach started to turn and i knew that I liked you." Cat couldn't believe what she is hearing. Tori Vega actually like Cat Valentine I mean like like her. Cat decided to listen to see what else she wanted to say without hugging Tori and kissing her and trying to control her pacing heart. "I mean i really really like you a lot but I don't know how to expla-" Tori was cut off as Cat jump on top of her knocking her over and onto the ground with Cat on top her, then Cat kissed Tori in the mouth which caught the bottom girl by surprise. Then she started kissing her back and Tori was licking the bottom of Cat's mouth for permission to go inside her mouth. Cat complied with that and let Tori inside, Their tongues were dancings and Cat l tasted like candy. She let out a sort moan which Tori heard and wanted more from Cat, but she knew that lunch was almost over and students would come into the bathroom. Tori broke apart the heated tongue kissing and it made a popping noise as their lips broke apart. Panting and breathing hard both girls were looking at each other. Their eyes were locked into each other and their hands slowly interwind with each other and Tori spoke but could not be able to finish a complete sentence.

Cat just giggled at Tori blushing and stuttering so she just decided to calm Tori down with a kiss which calm Tori down. After the five second kiss, Cat broke off the kiss and looked down at Tori before speaking.

"Tori I've always liked you i mean like like you, when you first came to Hollywood Arts, heck before that when you were at the showcase." Tori's eyes went wide as Cat told her that she like her, like like her, and she couldn't help a smile that was creeping up her face. She felt relived that Cat actually like her and Tori liked her too, but Tori knew that they could not be together and her smile quickly vanish. Cat caught this and was not worried why her friend or her now pre-girlfriend had a sad look on her face. She quickly got off of Tori and helped her up back on her feet.

"Wants wrong Tori, you look sad, is it because I jumped on top of you?" Cat voice was a sad one as she looked down on the floor about to cry and she felt that she did a wrong thing and felt ashamed about this. Tori put her hands on Cat's shoulders, Cat shot up and looked at Tori and she saw were her brown.

"Cat don't cry please, its not your fault and i kinda like it, but something is bothering me and you should know". Cat felt relieve that Tori liked what she did but felt her stomach drop a bit when something was bothering turn. Tori took a deep breath before speaking.

"We cant be together Cat you know that I mean many people won't judge but there are others who won't of same sex relationships and if they find out that we are a couple then who knows what they will think and do." Tori said with sadly as she remembered how they usually taunt, tease, and bully her at her old high school. Cat could recall to that statement has she remember how her parents reacted when they found out that their daughter was a lesbian. She look down and shuddered at the memory. Tori felt worried because Cat looked down for no reason.

"Cat are you alright?" Tori asked in worried. Cat looked up at Tori and could see the sacredness she had in her eyes. "I know what you mean Tori and I know that its really scary and dangerous to be like this but what can we do?" Cat spoke sadly and desperately because she does not want the same thing happen all over again and could be worse this time. Tori knew that this can't gone on but she wants to find a way to keep this pre-existing relationship growing. Doing it in secret was way too risky and talking on the phone was out of the question because then both families, the Vegas and the Valentines, would suspect something; Tori still hasn't told her parents or her sister that she was gay. The only solution would be to send each other love notes, but not during classrooms but through their lockers. She looked down at Cat before answering,

"Well Cat we can't be a couple to the public unless we face extreme prejudice and we both know that we don't want that. Talking on the phone won't help because our parents might pick up the other line and our cover is blown. So my last option would be we secretly send each other love note or messages through our locker then no one won't." Tori finishes hopefully and she hopes that her plan could work. Cat thought about it and Tori did had a good point. We can't go out in public without being harassed, through the phone, Tori did had a good point because her Cat's parents are on the phone and Trina is using in most of the time. So through secretly sending each other love messages is the best way to help keep there love growing. She just wishes for how long their forbidden love would be like this, a secret.

"You do have a point Tori, and sending each other messages is the best way to help keep our love growing." She said in down yet hopeful tone. In which Tori nodded with a smile and Cat was happy with her choice. Cat just needed to say one more thing before this hidden relationship could start.

"How long do we have to keep this hidden relationship hidden Tori?" Cat said sadly. Tori knew that this would be a while but she does not know when they can show the public about their relationship. Tori hesitated, took a deep breath before answering.

"I don't know Cat, as long as people relies that same sex couples are ordinary people but I don' t know how long that will take." The Latina girl spoke sadly but honestly. The red velvet girl could feel the sadness in her voice and she spoke the truth. But she knew that now matter what society throws at them true love will never break them. Cat smiled as she tries to comfort the girl.

"I know Tor, but as long as i have you nothing will drift us apart." The candy loving girl spoke honesty. Tori just smiled, but she knew that as long as Cat was right by her side nothing could stop, or so she though. Cat also has another problem, she not only loves Tori but she also loves Jade too. But she does not have time to think about that right now as Tori looked at her pear phone and gasped.

"Cat we only have less then 9 minutes before lunch ends." She spoke as Cat's eyes went wide. They have been here for about 22 minutes and their friends were getting worried that they were not back yet. Tori and Cat turned to face the mirror to fix themselves after their mini make out session. After that they left the bathroom and before they could go outside a bright light shot from the sky which caught Cat scared then followed up with a sound of thunder which made the smaller girl shriek and hugged Tori tightly. Tori loved how Cat got scared and it made her looked so more adorable. But Cat was hugging her too tightly and was making her harder to breath. Cat let go and looked at Tori with scared eyes, she realize that was slightly scared of lighting and thunder but they both got over it quickly as long as they had each other. Then they soon went outside to join the others.

In a clearing, five miles outside of Los Angeles

The storm was grow strong and this seem like an unusually storm to ever hit LA. Lighting was everywhere illuminating the dark sky with its long companion making thunderous roars across the clearing. There was a news crew about 3 miles from where the clearing was filming the event. Then a massive lighting struck down in the center of the clearing. But this was no ordinary lighting, it was brighter than any type of lighting before and was unusually big for its size, which made the news crew nervous because they have not seen anything like this before. Whats even more strange is that the lighting lasts for about 7 to 10 seconds long at the same spot making it the first and only lighting strike to maintain stationary for this period of time, then came the massive sound of thunder which was unusually loud and could be heard through out LA. While the crew was watching the event unfold, little did they know was that when the lighting was stationary three figures came down from the lighting. The first figure hit the ground hard on its back with a thud. His name was Clayton Carmine, and he was a large man that had weird looking armor. The armor does not cover his arms and it has a grayish color. Both arms were large and the left arm had a tattoo with what appears to a bullets around his right arm and has another tattoo. This time it had what appears to be a knife coming down and on top of if had a gear. On the sides of the knife had helmets, on the right side had a name "Anthony" and on the other side it read "Benjamin". Near the end of the knife it read R.I.P. Underneath it had a tattoo of a rifle with a chainsaw on it. The body armor was big and bulky, on the right side of the upper chest reads 'Destroy' and on the other side it read 'Locust'. On the center of the chest it had a white crimson symbol with the skull with a happy face. On the lower part it read 'Grub Killer'. His forearms were covered with armor and his hands had fingerless gloves. His belt was around his waist and on the sides had small pockets, his legs were covered in armor and he had heavy combat boots. his right thigh and a small pocket, his face was covered with a helmet that the eyes were blue and there were also blue lights that were coming out of the armor..

Then a second figure landed on top of Carmine, only this time its a female. Her name is Samantha Byrne and she wears almost identical armor has the first one only her armor is less. She has a dark tan skin that covers her visible body parts, her armor is less bulky then Carmines' and the color is like a mixture of a light grayish greenish. (I'm trying to identify her color of armor so if anyone could help, I would appreciated) Her undershirt is a green, teal type of color, the armor doesn't cover her whole arm and her forearms are covers with armor on top and skin type cloves underneath. Her belt has several pockets around her waist and her like a skin tight type for combat, she also wear combat boots but unlike Carmines' her boots are more suitable for female use during combat. Her armor also lights up from her shoulders to her right forearm which they all illuminate a blue glow. She also as a bandaid underneath her right eye.

Then finally the third figure comes coming down hitting next to the other two, 10 ft away. But unlike the other two, this figure was not human, its a machine that turns into a ball when attacked, can do lots of things, can hover, attack with his stun gun, cloak itself, his name is Jack. He turned into a ball before crashing down and leaving a small crater. Everything was quite as only the sound of rain and thunder could be heard, Then after a few minutes of unconscious, Sam started to wake up."Where the bloody hell I'm I?" She she said as she held her head with her hand. She felt her other hand touching something hard and metal and when she became fully conscious, she notice that she landed on top of Carmine. She blushed as she landed on top of him in an awkward position. She looked up and checked her surroundings she notice that something was definitely wrong. All she remembered was inside the abandon COG facility, a machine, Baird next to it, then a bright light and her they were. She got up and looked around to see where they were at, and notice that their Lancers along with their COG bags were about 20 feet away from them to her left and to her right was a small smoking crater. She notice that it was raining hard and she and Carmine have to find shelter before they catch something and she could feel hail coming down, once she reached the crater she was shocked when she found Jack their smoking and curled up into his ball mode. She quickly went down and tried to activate Jack.

"Come on Jack, wake up". She spoke in a British accent as she started to shake Jack in an attempt to wake him. A few seconds later she heard the machine making a few beeping noise which made Sam relived knowing that jack was awake. As he hovered and uncurled himself, he looked at Sam which his small blue eyes in a square shape.

"Jack how'you feelin?" She said as he replied with a few beeping noise. Indicating that he's alright, Sam and Jack got out of the crater and Sam notice that the weather was getting worse by the minute, she quickly speed walk towards Carmine, when she notice that lights are off it means that he is knocked the hell out. She decided to kick him playfully to see if he would wake up. Since he wasn't budging she decided to kick it up, she told Jack to stun him.

"Jack stun him so that we could get moving". She told him in which he made a few beeping noises then went over to Carmine and stunned him. The shock was enough to wake him as he jumped up fully awake, his lights coming on.

"Jeez Louise why the fuck did you shocked me?" Carmine as he was now up and active thanks to the shock Jack gave him. Sam just chuckled with a smile and walked towards Carmine smirking.

"Well I tried to wake you by kicking you but you would't budge so i asked Jack to shock you". She said in her accent. "Oh well you could have tried to shake me or something". He said as he was kinda mad that Sam decided to ask Jack to shock him. Sam just laughed and loved how Carmine gets mad and flips out. She replied to his question.

"Well I could of but as you can see we don't know where we are and we need to get out of this storm". She finishes seriously as Carmine looked around and notices that Sam was right. They were in a clearing with trees surrounding them instead of the COG facility where he was before than a bright light consumed by darkness than being shocked by Jack. He looked up at the sky and could see that it was grey and black with heavy rain coming down and he could feel small pieces of hail coming down. He looked at Sam and he could see that she was shivering, fearing that she could get sick, he put is strong arm around her in order to warm her up. Sam was caught by surprise by his action and she could not help but blush and looked away trying to hide her burring cheeks.

"Thanks Carmine". She said trying to hide her face. "Hey no problem Sam we better get going. There is a hill not to far from here". He said as he pointed his other arm towards the hill. It was about half a mile away. Sam nodded and the both (along with Jack) went to pick up their Lancers and bags. They kept there Lancers at the ready because they don't know where they are and don't know what they will see or find in this new place. Once they pass the the trees and made it to the top of the hill, They were shocked at what they find. Just over the horizon was a city that had several buildings bunched up together, lights could be seen from the buildings, houses, and cars from where they were. 'This whatever this place is must be made my humans because those buildings look like man made buildings', Sam though has she started at the city. Carmine was also in deep thought. 'Oh man, this place does not look like its been attack by the Locust or the Lambent and this place is definitely NOT Sera. Where the hell are we'? Carmine thought as he and Sam continue to see the city.
