Chapter two: Meeting the GMAD in high school

Disclaimer! I only own the laptop, and phone I am writing this on, my oc's and the plot.

Laural straightened out her navy blue knee length dress as she got out of the car, and walked into the band hall. Sighing in relief as seeing her director was also late to rehearsal.

Her friend she's known since pre-school, alongside Nightshade, (or so she thought.) walked up to her. "Hey Laural, have you heard of the recent GMAD attempts to end the Ningen no hebi?" He asked.

"Yeah, I have." Laural said. "It´s a shame four more guardians were lost."
"I agree." he said. ¨But at least it's weakened now.¨
"Hey, Nightshade, don't you need to go outside with Guard?" Laural asked.

"Oh, yeah I do, thanks for reminding Laural." Nightshade said, caught off guard. 'So, apparently I'm in colorguard, he, wonder what Stripes would think of that.'
Nightshade was surprised to see Casey, as well as Adahara. "Hey girls, am I shocked to see you two here." Nightshade said.

"We were too, after finding out we were color guard members." Casey said.

Adahara had pale skin, with black changewing earrings, wore a void black dress, that reached the ankles in the front, and had a two inch train in the back.

Casey wore a similar dress to Laural´s, but instead of it being a light sky blue color, it was a darker ocean blue, her snow white hair was done up in a french braid, she had pale brown skin, and she wore a black and red scale top, and skirt, and how she got away with going barefooted, Nightshade had no idea.

"Do your riders remember the attack they were in?" Nightshade asked. "Because Laural doesn't."

Casey and Adahra shook their heads no. "No." They said.
"I guess it´s for the best if no one remembers." Nightshade said, off handedly. "Cause, I mean with all their crazy adventures, don't they deserve a normal life?"

Casey and Adhara nodded in agreement. "But shouldn't we at least keep them in touch with their fighting abilities, I mean I know they won't be able to use magic in this life…. But it's worth a shot to at least keep them up to speed with their weapons." Casey said.
Nightshade mused over Casey's words. "It's worth a shot…."
"BAND TEN HUT!" The band director called.

"SET!"

Nightshade, Adahra, and Casey followed the band's lead by going to set, their body was straight and tall, their weight of their body went to the balls of their feet. And their hands formed a light fist, at the top of their legs. They looked proud, intense, they knew what they were doing.

"Circle up! Section leaders in the middle, brass on the inside, and woodwinds on the outside! Ready? GO!" the director called.

The band did as they were instructed, and hustled with their friends as they circled up to warm up for rehearsal.

Rebel's POV

The news report went blank, and the studio reappeared.
"Thanks Cassandra for that report on GMAD, and the Ningi no Hibi." A well dressed man had said. "As we had once interviewed the founder of GMAD, she had said there were at least 100 guardians in GMAD, and their numbers are still growing." He said.

A woman who sat on the other side of the man nodded. "Yes, and she is unaware of how many more guardians will join."

Rebel had to turn off the tv.

"What's wrong Rebel?" Stripes asked. Rebel looked up

"S-sorry Stripes, I just refuse to believe GMAD is completely wiped out." Rebel said.
Stripes checked her phone, seeing a text from Nightshade. 'Me, Adhara and Casey believe our riders don't remember their past, it may be the same with Rebel.'

Stripes sent a quick reply. 'Thanks for the heads up.'

"Hey Stripes who are you talking to?" Rebel asked.

"Oh, I just got a text from Nightshade, that's all." Stripes replied. "Not a big deal Rebel."
"Uh uh, right, we're going to be late for school if we don't hurry Stripes." Rebel said. "And don't forget about track tonight."

Thor and Storm

Thor had just turned off the TV, feeling guilty. He had no idea why though. Thor wore a short sleeved shirt, with a silver and golden curved jagged lines, that looked kind of like a lightning bolt, and a maelstrom combined. Lapping up from the middle of his chest, to high on the left side of him. He wore black sports tracksuit pants, with three white lines. He was weather worn, one of his hardened hazel eyes were covered by his hair, the eye that wasn't covered had a silver scar.

Storm was heavily scarred, like Thor, had a silver scar on one of his eyes. He had long shaggy grey and black hair, (Kind of like a wolf's fur) a harsh, hardened expression similar to his brother´s, and wore a similar outfit. Storm had noticed his rider was a little depressed. ¨Hey, what´s wrong Thor?¨ He asked his brother.

¨Oh, nothing Storm.¨ Thor had said. ¨It´s just hard to believe that GMAD….¨ Storm understood completely.

¨I understand.¨ Storm said, something buzzed in Storm´s pocket. Storm went to go check it, and pulled out an I-phone 6s, and saw an text Message from Adahra. Saying ´Me, Casey, Nightshade and Stripes have found out our riders don't remember their past as GMAD members, it should be the same for Thor, be careful when you mention GMAD, be sure to delete this text right away, we don't want any accidents.´ Storm immediately checked to see where Thor's attention was, thankfully it was in packing his bag and not at all paying attention to Storm. ´Thanks for the heads up Adhara.´ Storm replied, and checked to see where Thor's attention was. Luckily for Storm, he was completely focused on packing his bag for school, and not at talking to Storm. He quickly deleted the two texts. Just then, Adhara decided to reply.

´Not a problem Storm.´

Storm once again checked where Thor's attention was, he was just finishing packing his bag, he deleted the text, as to be cautious.

¨Hey, Storm you ready to get to school?¨ Thor asked. Storm blinked at the seemingly random comment, but as he remembered the text that Adhara sent him, he decided to go with the flow.

¨Yeah, I'm ready.¨ Storm replied. Thor nodded and walked out the back door. Storm walked out, following Thor.

Star

StarGazer Gale, better known as Star. Watched as the TV flickered off, after she had turned off the News report on CNN. She checked her phone, and saw a text from Adhara.

´You ready for school?´ Star shot a reply.

´shouldn't you be focusing on rehearsal?´

´were on break.´ Adhara replied. ´you didn't answer my question, are you ready?´

´Yeah, I'm ready.'

Sparky sighed as she walked out the door to get to school, she had no idea why she felt guilty as she watched that news report, she wasn't in GMAD, so therefore, she shouldn't have felt guilty… she didn't understand why though…..
