Chapter One

Ven-Ghan, Max, and Steel were fighting Dredd again. Kat and Jefferson were taking care of Naught. The fight went on for another ten minutes. Max, Steel, and Ven-Ghan were about to win when Dredd threw a container of red smoke at Ven-Ghan. The smoke surrounded him until he was completely covered.

"I do hope you like that gift of mine. Naught! Let's go!" Dredd said before taking off. Naught held onto Dredd's foot for the ride. Max Steel went after Dredd in turbo flight mode. They lost Dredd after Naught shot a gas bomb at them.

"Looks like we lost them," Max said to his Ultra-Link.

"Yeah, we should probably go and make sure Ven-Ghan is okay," Steel said to his half human. They race back to the part of the city they left Kat, Jefferson, and Ven-Ghan at. However, when they didn't reacher there, they found Kat and Jefferson looking at a male on the ground. Ven-Ghan was nowhere in sight. The male on the ground looked to be about Max's age with dark tan skin, and red-black hair that touched his shoulders. He wore a black, sleeveless shirt and a very dark shade of purple pants and black ankle boots. The boy was very well built.

"What happened to Ven-Ghan?" Max asked the N-Tech soldiers.

"We don't know," Jefferson answered first.

"I have the feeling this kid might know," Kat said as she nudge to unconscious boy's shoulder with her foot.

"Let's take him back to base and ask him a few questions then," Max said. He picked up the sleeping boy and flew to the N-Tech base. Kat and Jefferson soon followed in their jets. They placed the mysterious boy in one of the prison cells. Jefferson left to go eat, again, and Kat left to train some more. Max and Steel stayed close to the prison cells so he took interrogate the mystery boy as soon as he woke up. Unfortunately, it wasn't for another two hours before the sleeping boy finally woke up. He looked around and noticed Max outside the cell bars. There was a confused look on the mystery boy's face.

"Max, Steel, have I done something wrong?" The boy asked in a familiar voice. Steel detached himself from Max.

"We don't know. It depends on what you did with Ven-Ghan!" Steel shouts as he goes through the bars and gets right into the boy's face.

"What do you mean? I am Ven-Ghan," the boy said.

It isn't very long, I know but I had to get the start of the idea out or I would never be able to do anything else. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review and don't forget to stay human!
