~Chris' POV~

I knocked on the door. Mr. Smith answered and greeted, "Hello, Chris! Just go on back." I entered and exited through the back door. I went up the tree house that was actually half real and half technology. I saw the others up there.

"Hey, Chris!" Cathy greeted.

"Hi, guys."

"So, since everyone's here let's begin," Sam said.

"Ok! So when I was in Rhapsodia, the Commander gave me these," Cathy said putting ten items on the table. Five were circular V- coms and the other five were the original v-coms.

"What exactly are they?" Danny asked.

"The ones that are circular are ours. The rest are the new recruits'"

"And I was given pictures of the recruits," Sam said putting pictures of four kids that looked like they were about ten-years-old.

"Hey, Chris isn't that-," Danny asked and I cut him off.

"Yeah. That's him."

"Then they'll be tested to see if they have what it takes," Cathy said.

~John's POV~

Stupid brother! He's probably using that MBC trainer stuff so that he doesn't have to play with me. I could have been a great trainer.

"Hey, John!" I heard Aaron call. Aaron's my best friend.

"Hi," I replied.

"Is there something wrong? I don't see you like this a lot lately," he asked as we started to walk again.

"It's just my brother. He's using his job so he has an excuse to stay home."

"It's probably important," he said but then we both got splashed by water balloons from above.

"Oh, man! I'm so sorry!" a girl said jumping from the tree.

She had brown hair and eyes a spaghetti strap light green shirt, a pink handkerchief tied on her neck, blue shorts, and light green sneakers. She also had two towels with her.

"What are you trying to do here?" Aaron said angrily.

"To be honest, I made the homemade invention up there to splash the park bullies," she replied giving us the towels. "You stepped on a thin string down here which pulled on the bucket and the bucket tipped over.

"That could have worked on them," I said.

"You really think so? Thanks! My name is Zora," she said smiling showing her teeth. Then I saw two sharp teeth.

"Hey are those fangs?" Aaron asked leaning closer to her face. But then she suddenly closed her mouth.

" Nope."

"Wanna walk with us? My name is John and this is Aaron," I said.

" Sure! Just a sec." She cut the string and put everything in a bag.

As we entered the park we saw three boys making fun of a girl. Zora put down her bag and ran to the scene. Aaron picked up it up and we ran after her.

"It's not nice to make fun of others!" she shouted.

"Who's gonna stop me?" the leader said telling the other two to hold her still. They walked over and followed the command. "Let's do this quick."

Before he could attack, Zora bit the guy on her left's arm and ducked. While she was down there she tripped the guy on her right. The guy fell on the leader. She came back up and came over to us. We were speechless. Aaron was blushing a bit.

"I know it's pretty creepy to see a girl like me do that," she said taking her bag from Aaron. She helped the girl up.

The girl had blond hair, blue eyes, a lavender blouse with a blue sash, white pants folded up, and white shoes.

~Zora POV~

"Are you alright?" I asked holding out my hand.

"Yeah, thanks," she replied taking my hand.

"My name is Zora."

"I'm Allison but call me Ally."

"Are you two okay?"Aaron asked coming over with John.

"Who are they?"

"Ally, these are my friends Aaron on the left and John on the right."

"It's nice to meet you!"

As we talked suddenly four people blindfolded us and tied us up. Then they used sleeping gas on us. Then everything else was a blur. . .
