A/N: Another fanfic! This time it's on THE TRIBE. I've recently became a fan of this show and I've grown to like it. Haven't watched all the episodes, but I pretty much have a clear view on what has happened. Here's the info, for this fanfic I decided to start on a "Series 6", well of course my version of it. Everyone's got imaginations right? I wasn't sure about the boat thing, so I made it a little more interesting. Well at the end of Series 5, people died and the Mallrats move out of the city. So what's next on their sailing boat? Here's a little synopsis:
After leaving their city, the Mallrats hit an island unknown to them. Turns out, that island is inhabited by Xegians...the people of Xelia, the only city on the island. There the Mallrats learn that this is the only place where the people aren't separated by tribes, but all of them represent Xelia. They are found by the Xegian troops and eventually taken to the Xegian leader, Princess Sheia. She welcomes all of them with her kindness and helps them start their new life. Meanwhile, Sammy plans on visiting Mouse, and Salene decides to accompany him. Gel still tries to capture Lex's attention, despite the fact that Lex is still mourning for Siva. When enough drama's around, there's still Jay's dilemma with Trudy and Amber. Trudy wants to start all over, trying to get Amber to do the same, but Amber thinks otherwise. What makes it worst, Jay has an interest, but it's not Trudy or Amber.
The Tribe: Series 6
Rebirth
Chapter 1 – Sailing Away
"Where are we heading off to now?" asked Gel.
"Jay, we should find land." Said Trudy. "We can't wonder off here in the waters forever."
"Well we'll try heading west." Thought Jay. "Any sign of clean land would be fine."
On the other side of the boat, Ebony confronts Ruby. "Hey."
Ruby looked at her. "What?"
"Look, I'm really sorry for my attitude." Ebony said. "I really am, especially about this whole pregnancy thing."
"You want my forgiveness?" Ruby stared at her.
"I'm not asking for it." Said Ebony. "I just want to apologize. Thinking on this boat, I've done a lot of bad things. I've lost two sisters, and I know Lex couldn't forgive me for that."
"I hate to be mean Ebony," said Ruby. "But if you're turning over a new leaf, then that's fine. I just don't think anyone's going to ease up on you."
Ebony nodded and looked behind them as they sailed further away from the city.
"Salene?" said Sammy.
"Yeah Sammy?" Salene asked.
"Do you think Mouse is okay?" Sammy asked.
Salene smiled a little bit and raised an eyebrow. "I thought you wouldn't miss Mouse if you two were ever separated?"
"Well," Sammy looked depressed. "I mean she's gone with the Ecos, we've moved away from the city, and that just makes it all worst. There's no way we can come in contact with her."
"Aw come on Sammy." Gel interrupts. "She's probably enjoying herself in the woods. Tarzan and Jane remember?"
"Gel." Salene gives her a look. "Don't worry about it Sammy. I'm sure Mouse is doing fine. If anything, once everyone's got their lives back together and everything in this world is sorted out, we can always go back and find Mouse."
Sammy gave a little smile. "I'd sure like to visit her."
"Yeah me too." Salene patted him on the shoulder.
Amber sat looking around as she held her baby close to her. "How's the baby?" asked Trudy.
"Well it's kind of cold out here." Said Amber. "Listen Trudy, I want to apologize."
"You know Amber," said Trudy. "I've been thinking." She looked around to see if anyone was listening.
"What?" Amber asked.
"I think that this whole triangle thing is getting old." Said Trudy. "And I think, maybe it's time to begin a fresh start. No relationships, just caring for the baby. As much as I care for Jay, this triangle is really not getting anywhere."
Amber thought about it. "You're right." She sighed. "I don't think we should be getting into this trouble. I mean we're all friends, and this dilemma is just separating all of us."
"Well, wherever we go off to.." said Trudy. "I hope we can all start a new life." The two mothers hugged as they kept talking about the future.
"The skies look like they don't want to cooperate today." Said Jack looking up at the sky.
"Those clouds look very heavy." Pointed Ellie.
Jay looked at the sky. "We really have to get to land soon. There's no sign of land anywhere."
Jack's eyes widened. "And I think the waves are picking up."
"Tell everyone to get inside." Said Jay as he went inside the cabin. Jack announced to everyone to take cover inside.
"Well this is very convenient." Said Lex sarcastically. He has been depressed for the past few days since Siva's funeral. It wasn't easy for Lex to forget the words she said to him, that he was the one for her.
"Is everyone in here?" Jay looked around.
"I pretty much rounded everyone up." Jack finally entered the full cabin.
"Okay make sure everybody holds tight." Said Jay as he went to the captain's room.
"I hear the waves are picking up." Said May.
"Yeah they are." Salene agreed. "Did you see the clouds out there? I could've sworn they were turning black."
After a few minutes, the Mallrats began feeling a little woozy due to the movement of the boat.
"This feels like a hangover." Salene had her hands on her forehead.
Suddenly the lights went out and there was a crashing sound outside. The boat appeared to have stopped moving. Jay came in the cabin with a flashlight.
"Is everyone alright?" Jay asked pointing the flashlight everywhere.
"Yeah." Everyone said.
"All those waves took us really far and I think we actually found land." Said Jay.
"Well let's get out of here then!" said Gel.
"We don't even know about this land Gel." Said Sammy.
"How about some of us stay and a few go check out the land?" suggested Jack.
Everyone muttered in agreement. "Okay Lex and Jack, you guys can come with me. Ram and Slade, make sure everything here is safe. Everyone stay here and don't leave the boat." Said Jay.
Lex and Jack followed Jay out of the cabin. The skies were a little gray, but nonetheless the land they had hit looked very unfamiliar.
"Looks like instead of landing on the sand, we hit a boulder." Said Lex looking at the wrecked area of the boat.
"Come on, we have to check if this place is safe." Said Jay. The three of them walked across the sandy beach to see if there was any sign of people.
"You think that maybe through the forest we can find something?" asked Jack.
"I guess you're right. We'll never find anything here." Said Jay. "Stay close, we don't know what's up ahead."
They walked deeper into the forest. The forest was very green, and it seemed like nature in that land could never be demolished. Every tree and flower was growing and blooming.
"This feels like a place where Ecos would live." Said Lex looking at their surroundings.
"Look over there." Pointed Jack. It looked like a clean area in the forest and it was like a path was made. "Should we go that way?"
"We need to leave a marker." Said Jay. "That way we won't get lost."
Lex pulled out a pocket knife and marked an X on two tree barks. "There."
"Alright let's go." Said Jay as they all continued into the forest.
"Where is this path taking us?" asked Jack.
"Hopefully not to danger." Said Lex. As they continued on, the color of the sky above the trees became brighter.
Jack stopped and looked at the sky. "Looks like everything's clearing up."
"Jack…" said Jay. Jack saw that there was opening of the forest, where Jay and Lex stood halt.
"What's wrong?" Jack wondered. Before anyone answered, Jack saw a view of a whole city. It was a little bigger than their old home, but the big difference was that everything looked at peace.
"People live here." Said Lex.
"That's right." Said a voice. A guy wearing a headset and a black and blue uniform walked towards them. Behind him was a group of people wearing the same uniform as he was. They all had a red symbol on the left side of their necks, except the guy had two red stripes beside his left eye. The guy was tall, fair skin, blue-green eyes, and bright red hair The rest of the group surrounded Jay, Lex, and Jack. "What brings you here to Xelia?" (pronounced as Zel-ya)
"We've actually escaped from our old city on a boat." Said Jay. "Our city was being ravaged from rebellions. Unfortunately we were caught in the waves and our boat crashed onto the beach beyond the forest. We're looking around if it was safe for everyone else on the boat to come here."
"Are you from a tribe?" asked the guy. "I see you have a symbol on your forehead."
Jay realized that the symbol he talked about was the Technos tribal sign. "Yes I am, the Mallrats actually. I used to be in a tribe called the Technos, but I've actually moved way from them."
"And you two?" asked the guy to Lex and Jack.
"We're with him." Said Jack nervously.
The guy looked at them suspiciously. "How many more of you in the boat?"
"There's actually a lot of us that came." Said Jack.
The guy and the rest of his group stared at them. "Viktor."
"Yes sir." A guy with dark brown hair and hazel eyes stepped forward. "Take five of your cadets and escort let's say, one of these gentlemen? We'll help you get the rest of your friends here to safety. Last thing you want are your friends stuck on that boat. I'm sure the Princess will give you a place to stay."
"Princess?" asked Jay. "Is she your leader?"
"She's actually the leader of the city. You might get to meet her today. But for now, please one of you accompany my cadets with Viktor to your boat." Said the guy.
"Alright um, Jack." Said Jay. "Do you mind?"
"Yeah sure of course. Be careful." Said Jack as he went with Viktor's group.
"Right then, welcome to Xelia." Said the guy.
"I'm Jay by the way. This is Lex." Said Jay.
"Oh my apologies." Said the guy. "I'm Captain Gene. I'm the head of the Xegian (zee-juhn) troops, specifically the upper class. Police if you will. Oh excuse me for a moment."
The little gadget attached to the pocket of his pants was blinking. "You trust these guys?" asked Lex.
"We have no choice." Said Jay.
Gene pressed the button on the blinking gadget. "Gene here. Oh yes Princess, we've actually found some people that escaped their city. Yes Tribal. So far I've heard about Technos and Mallrats. Yes. We're not too sure maybe roughly fifteen. Yes. I'm actually going there soon with two of them. We'll leave as soon as possible Princess."
"Was that your Princess?" Lex asked.
"Actually it was. I might in trouble for calling her Princess too much. She actually gets annoyed if people say it too much." Said Gene. "Let me just tell Viktor to meet up with us at her house."
"We actually get to go to the Princess' house?" Lex asked Jay.
"Seems so." Said Jay.
"Alright then, move out cadets. Come on gentlemen, our cars are down the hill." Gene began walking.
"How did you find us?" asked Jay.
"The forest is guarded actually." Said Gene. "We have troops in assigned "gates" to the forest. So if ever someone's missing, good or bad situation, no one is able to get out of the city. The only legal way to leave is through the boats at the dock, which are of course monitored."
"Wow. Organized." Said Jay. They entered the police cars and headed off into the city. The city was clean, and people in the streets were happy. They all have the red symbols on their necks just like the troops, only theirs were blue. "Does that symbol stand for your tribe?"
"Yes and no." answered Gene. "It is the symbol of the Xegians. We're one people, but outsiders would call us a tribe. In fact if you refer it to a tribe, you could say we are a huge tribe."
"No rebellions?" asked Lex.
"There were at the beginning." Answered Gene. "The Princess was actually the one that brought everyone together, to work and keep this city alive. When the virus spread, this city was nearly wiped out. Turns out kids from other places found this island when they were trying to evacuate. That gave Xelia more citizens. Soon enough, the Princess was actually given the title Princess. There is no king, queen, or prince here. In Xelia, she helps everyone. Us troops are her support. She does have a cabinet to help run the city, but she calls all the shots."
"Wow. That's quite a leader." Said Jay.
"Yes she is." Said Gene. "She's actually my cousin."
"You've got royal blood then?" asked Lex.
"Not really." Gene chuckled. "She actually has a brother. But he left once their parents past way because of the virus. She was heartbroken. Her only brother left her alone so she ran the city. Once I heard about it I wanted help. Got me the position as Lieutenant. For all we know, her brother could somewhere out there alone himself. Well, we're almost there."
"That was quick." Said Lex.
"Well the streets here don't have much trouble with traffic. Here we are." Said Gene. They arrived at a tall red and white mansion at the top of the hill past the city.
"She lives here by herself?" Jay asked looking at the big house.
"Actually no, I live here too with a few of our cousins." Said Gene. "Her cabinet meets here every week. But everything else, it's just a house. This house was actually an abandoned house that everyone though was haunted. Actually it belonged to some rich guy way long time ago. Since no one lived here, we took it."
"Gene everything all right?" A girl walked down the steps of the entrance in a white and blue uniform, almost the same that Gene was wearing except with a long skirt to her knees. She had long brown hair tied in a long pony tail, two red stripes by her eye just like Gene, and fair skin.
"Oh, you didn't tell us that the Princess would meet us here." Said Lex.
"Our apologies." Said Jay.
"Guys," said Gene. "That's not the Princess. That's Breielle, she's my older sister."
"I'm not that old. You can call me Bree." chuckled Breielle (Bree-yell). "Sheia's inside actually. She's expecting you." She smiled and showed them inside.
