Chapter 1:
Enter: The 7 Key Squad
It was early Saturday morning when the last of the Captains awoke and headed down
to the meeting hall.
"AAAHHHHHGGGGGAA" Azula yawned. "Im so tired, why do we have to meet so early Barex?
I mean come on, I need my beauty sleep or I look like this!" Everyone turned to see
Azula looking exactly as she always does except that she looks pretty damn tired.
They all sighed and turned back to their leader who had called them to the meeting
only 20 minutes ago.
"Yeah Barex come on! Its 4:00 in the morning! Do we really have to meet so early! I
dont sense any danger!" Yami complained rather loudly. It wasnt like her to complain
so openly but she was most deffinitly not a morning person being the Captain of the
darkness squad and all.
"I dont sense any danger, there are no heartless at the gates, we are safe, so i
dont get why if we have to suffer and wake up so early couldnt we have at least
woken up all the leautenants and everyone else too and make them suffer?!?!" Ky-Kie
said to her boyfriend. "Barex..." She made a sweet smile at him hoping it would
convince him to let her at least go torture the other lower class members of the 7
Key Squad by preferably dumping water on them while they slept.
Barex sighed and used every last bit of his manliness to turn away from the
beautiful girl who was smiling at him. It was very difficult for him to ignore her
but he did it none the less. This was important and he had to get everyone's
attention!
"ALRIGHT! LISTEN UP EVERYONE!" Barex said just loudly enough for the squad captains
closest to him to hear him and nudge the people who didnt to shut up. "I have called
you all here..." he paused and sighed "this early in the morning... to announce that it
has been a whole year since we have been together as a team." He paused once more to
wait for another outburst and sure enough, one came.
"Wait, so thats why we woke up this early? Couldnt this have waited?" A sleepy voice
came from amongst the captains. The captains parted to show a very tired Katilix
still holding her teddy bear and blanket, standing amongst the group of people who
were suposed to only consist of the 7 squad captains. She yawned and stared up at
Barex waiting for an answer as though nothing were wrong.
Everyone sighed and Yami slapped her forehead. Of course it had to be her first
leautenant who would come to an ALL CAPTAINS meeting.
Barex stood up a little straighter and addressed Yami. "Yami, may i ask why a member
of your squad who is so obviously not the captain is standing in an all captains
meeting?" He said this ever so calmly, trying not to be annoyed at the interruption
he knew was going to happen.
"I dont know Barex but im gonna have to kick her ass for doing it!" Yami yelled with
such fury that Katilix jolted awake and ran as fast as she possibly could up the
stairs at the end of the hall and didnt stop until she was safe under her blankets
again. Yami just took a deep breath and simply turned back to Barex and gestured for
him to continue.
"Well...um...where was I?" Barex asked. Ky-Kie used her thoughts to remind Barex what
he had
just said and he cleared his throat and began to speak but not before shooting
Ky-Kie a very kind thank you look. "So, we are here this morning to vote. We are
going to vote on-" He stopped as another voice cut across him and began to speak
rather quickly."
"But-But Barex! What could we possibly be voting for? We have all our captains and
leautenants, for people who have leautenants that is, but why would we be-" Jeri, the
young Twilight squad captain was interupted by Barex who continued with saying:
"Yes, we have all our captains: I, the Earth Squad Captain and leader, You Jeri the
Twilight squad captain, Rikku the Water captain, Rei the Wind captain, Isuzu the
Light squad captain, Azula the fire squad captain, and Yami the darkness squad
Captain. But, We are not voting on captains. We are voting who should be second in
command if something happens to me."
"Wouldnt Ky-kie? I mean thats why she is the only leautenant at the meeting right?
She is the logical choice I guess, she is the first leautenant of you, our Earth squad
captain and leader. She makes perfect sense." Yami said, trying to sound as logical
as she could at 4:00 in the morning.
"Well yes, she is the logical person to be second in command. I just wanted to vote
to make sure thats what everyone wanted." He yawned and then continued "Whoever
wishes this to be, please raise your hand." Everyone raised their hands, it was too
early to argue and Barex knew it, thats why he chose 4:00 in the morning as the time
to have the meeting. He knew if he asked them to vote on this later in the day once
everyone had a chance to wake up, they would surely fight over which one of them
should be second in command because they would never allow a leautenant to be second
in command when there were 6 other captains to chose from!
"Well then its settled" Barex turned to Ky-Kie "you are now second in command. If
anything should happen to me like if someone cut my head off, or trapped me in a
bubble, or locked me away till i rotted into -" He stopped talking when he noticed
the horrible glare he was getting from Ky-Kie signaling it was time for him to shut
up and let everyone go back to bed. "Alright, you can go back to sleep
now" He trotted off towards the stairs along with everyone else, leaving only Isuzu to
stand aone in the
middle of the hall. She was the Light squad captain after all and she always woke up
this early.
She sighed and walked outside to watch the sunrise. She jumped onto the roof where
so many of the people at Headquarters go when they want peace and quiet. "Well,
happy aniversery everyone" She said quietly as the sun lite up the grounds.
This was going to be an interesting year.
