Toya was walking around following his brother Renton who kept glancing back to check to see if Toya wasn't in any of the Game shops. "Hey bro, can I get some money please" Toya yelled at Renton. Renton sighed and stopped to turn to his brother. "Toya, you know what grandpa said, not to give you money okay" Renton told Toya. Toya looked at the ground and sighed.

"Man that old guy never let's me do anything for god sakes" Toya Thought. "Now come on Toya let's get going, I hear there is a new ref board at the edge of town" Renton yelled running ahead of Toya. Toya looked up and started after him. After about 30 minutes of them racing to the shop they arrived there. "I……beat…..you" Renton said between breaths. Toya was breathing just as hard as Renton was and chuckled. "I….let…you…win…slowpoke" Toya said between breaths. After about 3 minutes of resting Renton stood straight up and walked into the shop with Toya standing outside.

"Hey welcome back Renton, what can I do you for" The shop owner greeted. "Nothing much I just came to check if you had a new board yet" Renton said. "Hmm, no shipments came in and I'm glad they're not" The shop owner sighed. "Why not, don't people buy them?" Renton asked. The owner just sighed and looked at Renton. "There is no lifting air here so people can't lift and if they can't lift they don't need boards" The owner sighed. Renton looked away. "I'll buy two boards please" Renton said trying to cheer the owner up. The owner smiled and handed Renton two of his best boards. Just as Renton was going to pay the owner told him. "Don't worry about it, I owe it to my First and last customer". Renton thanked him and turned to leave the shop.

"Hey, It's about time you came outta there" Toya smirked. "Ah shut up Toya, just be happy I even decided to get you a board" Renton yelled throwing the board at Toya who was a little slow on the uptake. The board collided face first with him causing him to fall on the ground. Renton busted into laughter at the sight of Toya's dazed face. After awhile they were walking home and slightly bumping each other.

"Well atleast the old man won't be back for atleast a week so we can practice" Renton said. Toya smirked and pushed Renton over and ran yelling "Race ya to the house". Renton ran after him and crashed him into the ground. They continued thrashing about before they heard a loud bang. "What was that" Renton asked Toya who looked just as confused as him. The heard the Bang yet again and looked around for the source of the sound.

When they saw nothing they noted it off as Thunder. So they continued walking toward their house outside of their grandpa's shop. Bang, they looked at eachother and then looked behind them. They both saw something approaching from down the street and saw a black and white blur coming towards them. Toya and Renton wanted to run but they were glued to the spot.

It was getting a closer and closer with each passing moment, until finally the blur became clear and they noticed it was two LFOs fighting. One was nearly all black except for its eyes which were shaded with red and the other was nearly all white with red over the front of it. They were speeding toward Renton and Toya who were still rooted to the spot. When the LFOs got close enough, they saw the heads of the LFOs turn toward them.

The LFOs broke apart and tried to lift outta the way. One of them managed to get into the sky just over Renton and Toya's house before it did a Half back Drop turn making Renton smile in awe. That smiled didn't last long because right afterwards The LFO crashed right into their house. "Ahhhh, our stuff was in there" Renton and Toya both yelled. The other LFO dropped right to the ground when the other let it go.

The boys just stood there looking back and forward from the two LFOs sitting there silently. Then the silence was broken when they heard the Cockpits of the LFOs open. They continued to stare back and forward until a figure came from the White LFO. Renton and Toya watched as the figure looked at them with the moonlight illuminating its figure. When the Figure moved its head into the light Renton's mouth flew wide open while Toya on the other hand just simply stared at the figure.

It was a girl's face, whose hair seemed to bring out the best in the moon's light. The other pilot had gotten out of the cockpit too while the other's were staring at the Girl. "Who is she" Renton whispered to Toya. Toya simply shrugged and looked at the other LFO and that's when his mouth nearly hit the floor. Standing there was another girl who was almost the complete opposite of the blue haired girl. She had long red hair that glistened in the moon light making it look like it was crimson.

Just then there was a gunshot and Renton grabbed Toya to the ground. When Toya looked around he saw the blue haired girl with a Pistol shooting at the red headed girl who had taken cover behind her own LFO. "Ha you missed me Eureka" The red head yelled. "I won't miss again Anemone, this ends here" The blue haired girl yelled back. There was another gun shot and it sounded close to Toya's ear.

Just then Toya felt someone pick him off the Ground and held their arm around his neck, then he felt something cold touch his head. "Ohh Eureka, if you don't surrender I'm gonna kill this kid" Anemone said pointing the Gun to Toya's head. Toya was in sheer panic as to what to do but he didn't let it show on his face. "No let him go" Renton yelled getting to his feet. "Be quiet little boy or else" Anemone said. Eureka was looking on the situation, thinking of what she could do. Just then the person holding Toya started to sway to from side to side still pointing the gun at the white LFO.

She continued this and then she started to sweat. When Renton saw this he jumped into action grabbing Toya and pushing Anemone away from him. Anemone was about to shoot but her legs gave away and she fell on her back. Toya just looked at the girl until out of the Corner of his eye he saw a crimson like liquid coming down from her shoulder. When he trailed the liquid he noticed a small hole in her side.

"Renton, she's hurt" Toya told Renton. Just then they heard footsteps coming toward them from the White LFOs direction. Before they could react Renton and Toya were pushed aside by Eureka. She was aiming the gun right at Anemone's head. "No leave here alone" Toya yelled. He pushed Eureka away from Anemone just as she pulled the trigger. Toya stood in front of Anemone while Eureka got off the ground.

Toya just stared at Eureka with a glare in his eyes. "Move out of my way" Eureka said approaching Toya. "No way, I'm not just gonna sit here and watch someone get killed" Toya said. He had finally got a little Confidence but it was still little. "She does not deserve to live" Eureka said calmly. "Everyone has a right to life, even her so back off" Toya yelled. Eureka walked even closer with her gun raised.

Renton saw this and tackled her to the ground pushing her gun away from her. She began to flail on the ground trying to get free. Toya looked behind him and saw that Anemone was starting to shiver. Renton continued to try and hold Eureka down but with little success. Toya looked from her Renton to the gun. He ran and picked the gun up aiming it at Eureka. Renton released her and she quickly got to her feet. She stared at the gun that was currently pointed at her.

"Put that gun down, it's not for little boys you know you might get hurt" Eureka said walking toward Toya. Toya pulled the trigger. Eureka stopped walking and looked at her shoulder which had been grazed. "You need better aim than that" Eureka said as she once again started to approach Toya. Toya aimed the gun at her again and she stopped in her tracks. Renton looked at her for a second. She started to sway and fell down.

Renton went to check on her and noticed she was out cold. "So what do we do about them" Toya asked. "We might as well help them, I mean it is about to ran" Renton said. The air outside was starting to get colder and colder. "So let's get them into the shop, we'll come back for the LFOs later" Toya said picking up Anemone and putting her arm around his shoulder. Renton nodded and did the same with Eureka.

They took the two of them to their grandfather's bedroom and put each on one side. "Well that should do it" Toya said after wrapping up Anemone's gun wound. "So what do we do when they wake up" Renton asked. Toya looked at Renton and said "I thought you were gonna think of something". Renton sweat dropped then looked back at Toya. "Fine I have an idea" Renton said.

He whispered into Toya's what he was thinking and it made Toya smile. "Well that might work but for right now let's get some sleep" Toya said gesturing to the couches. They lay awake for about a few hours before they started to get tired. "Well see you in the morning" Renton said to Toya. "Yeah, I the morning" Toya replied before he closed his eyes and fell asleep. They awoke the next morning and did what they would usually do in the morning. When they were finished they went to check on the girls. To their surprise the girls were still asleep in the bed.

"They look like angels don't they bro" Renton asked Toya. "Yeah, they look so peaceful" Toya said closing the door behind him. They went outside to fetch the LFOs and moved them into their grandfather's hanger. "Well that was tiring wasn't it bro" Renton said. "You got that right" Toya replied jumping out of the black LFO. "Man I wonder why they wanted to kill each other" Toya asked. "Beats me, looks like they really hate each other" Renton replied. Toya just thought about that question for the next hour or so.

I was just dreaming, dreaming of that boy. Who was he, why did he protect me? I didn't deserve to be protected. I woke up after asking myself this. My left shoulder was hurting. When I looked I saw bandages wrapped around it. "Where the hell am I, was I captured by Eureka" I whispered. I heard a grunt from the side of me and I looked to my right. Eureka was laying right there in arms reach!

I started to move toward her with my arms outstretched ready to strike her when the door burst open. "Hey good morning, did you sleep well" The boy asked. He was the boy in my dreams! "Who the hell are you and where am I" I yelled. The boy just stared at me with his beautiful brown eyes. "Umm you're in my Grandpa's bedroom" He said. Way to go Anemone you scared him.

"Well what the hell happened and why am I here" I yelled again. Anemone you idiot control yourself next time you speak idiot. "Umm well you got shot and we brought you here, and your LFO is in the hanger but your not going anywhere for awhile" The boy said. He turned to leave and before he left through the door he said "Oh and if your still wondering my name's Toya, Toya Thurston". He closed the door behind him and I plopped down on the bed. Toya so his name is Toya. I quickly fell asleep and had another dream about him. He was telling me something but I couldn't quite make it out. "Anemone I…….." he would say. What was he trying to tell me and why didn't he say it all the way? Why did I wake up now?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Eureka's POVXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When I awoke it was near midnight and I was lying in an unfamiliar bed. Where am I, was I captured by Anemone. I got up and noticed I was still a little weak from the other day. I opened the door out of the room and started walking down the hall until the smell of food hit my nose. That smells delicious, and I am hungry so I might as well try to sneak some. I continued to follow the scent of the smell until I was on the other side of the wall parallel to it.

That's when I heard a voice that I recognized. "Hey what are you making, it smells good" Anemone said. "Wait till its done will you" a voice said. Hmm so I was captured by her and I'm probably aboard her ship. I better try to escape but I also need to get some of that food. "Hey I'm gonna go check on that Eureka girl alright bro" another voice said. "Yeah make sure she's awake so she can get something to eat too" The voice called back.

Crap someone's coming this way; well I guess it was only a matter of time before I had to fight. I readied my fighting stance and waited for them to come. When the person came round the corner they let out a sharp gasp as my foot connected right to their chest. The Force of the kick sent him flying back around the corner. "Dude are you alright, what did you hit this time" The voice asked. "Ha Ha very funny Renton, but I didn't hit anything that blue haired chick hit me" The voice called back.

I heard footsteps approaching and I readied yet again for another swift kick but I stopped when the person came around the corner. I just stared into his eyes and he did the same to me. "Umm well good morning I guess" he said. I just stood there with my mouth slightly open. "Good morning to you too" I said. Before I could say something else I heard a yell from behind the boy and saw Anemone charging at me.

I didn't have much time to try a block or a dodge. So I was knocked down and we started throwing punches at eachother. "Okay break it up you two" The boy said pulling Anemone off of me and the other pulling me away from her. "Let me go, I have to kill her it's my mission" I yelled. "Sheesh, just chill will ya" The other boy said. "Let me at her, I'll rip her apart" Anemone yelled still flailing at her captor.

"Anemone chill, you're still hurt" The boy said. I just looked on in utter awe as Anemone stop flailing and just sat there. Did she just take an order from someone other than Dewey! "Hey Renton ask the blue-head if she's alright" The boy said. So his name is Renton huh. "Uhh are you alright Eureka" Renton asked. I stopped flailing as soon as he said my name. "Ummm yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking" I said. Why does this guy make me feel so weird?

"Hey is the food done yet" Anemone said. "Yeah it should be done by now right Renton" Toya asked. Just when they mentioned food my stomach went GROWLLLLLLLLL! "So your hungry to huh Eureka" Renton asked. I blushed in embarrassment as my stomach growled again. "Well let's eat" Renton smiled. "This better be worth the wait bro or else" Toya said.

"That was a good dinner bro" Toya said. "I know I cooked it" Renton laughed putting his dish in the sink. "Remember it's your turn to wash the dishes Toya, I washed them last week" Renton said running toward his room. "Geeze fine I will, well you girls should go take a bath, there are some of my sister's close in her room" Toya said pointing to the room across from the bathroom.

Eureka looked at Anemone and she looked back. "You need it more than I do" Eureka said under her breathe. Anemone had said the same thing under her breathe. After about 30 minutes of silence Eureka went and took a bath first. She then put on some of the close that were in Toya and Renton's sister's room. Anemone followed into the bathroom after her and did the same.

Toya was still washing dishes when he felt someone push him. "Very funny Renton, go away" Toya said not taking his eyes off the Dishes. "Well sorry dude" Renton said sighing. Anemone and Eureka were sitting on opposite sides of the sister's bedroom glaring at eachother. "Toya listen, I just found out who those girls work for" Renton said. "Who do they work for" Toya asked looking at Renton.

"Well Eureka works for the Gekko State dude and that Anemone chick is working for the Federation" Renton yelled. Anemone and Eureka heard what he said. "Listen Eureka, I know you don't like me and I don't like you but we have to get outta here" Anemone finally said. "For once I agree with you, I mean if we stay we will only cause them trouble" Eureka said. They continued to stare at eachother before they shook hands and got into their battle suits.
