Tatsuo didn't do anything for the rest of the night, he just sat on the couch and watched TV, "From your Dove of hope," he looked down at the A-Ts, he picked on of them up and looked at it, "who sent this to me, could it be them? No they never sent me letter like this before." Tatsuo put his hand in the A-Ts and suddenly the wheels started to spin dramatically and Tatsuo screamed not knowing what to do, waving the A-T covered hand in the air, the A-T flew off his hand and fell on the floor and stopped spinning. "Geez what was that?" he got up and picked up the A-Ts, suddenly there was breaking new on the TV, Tatsuo sat and watched.

"The notorious Storm Rider team, Bio-Raiders. Were all found brutally injured in a construction site earlier today." Said the newscaster, as they showed shots of police and the injured unconscious people.

"That sign on their backs," he pulled out the emblem from his pocket and looked at it, "It matches the emblem I got. The person who did this must have given me these A-Ts, is this what Katsu did to them? No, I don't know much about his skills but I'm pretty sure he couldn't take out an entire team by himself."

"There was a message left at the scene of the crime." The camera panned to a concrete wall, "It says and I quote, "This will give you time to practice – Dove" Tatsuo looked down at the A-Ts.

"Is this all for me?" Tatsuo stood up and walked into the kitchen and grabbed a drink, he stood there for a few minute trying to digest all of what happened and then he heard a commercial on the TV.

"Making them even faster, able to fly even higher. With these extreme devices, they dash down the streets at blistering speeds." Tatsuo walked in to the living room and saw a commercial for Air Treks, "Since these people's appearance, everything has turned into a road. Even faster! Even Higher!" Tatsuo looked at the TV and then back at the A-Ts.

"Even higher, eh we'll see about that" Tatsuo grabbed his jacket, pinned the emblem to his jacket and walked out to the porch with his A-Ts. He looked up at the night sky and he sat himself down and he put his A-Ts on, he finally got them on and he stood up a little shakily, "Ah damn there weren't any instructions in the box," he looked down at the A-Ts, "I don't need that piece of paper. Ok so the wheels moved when I pushed on the front," he started to move forward slowly, "Now for some power." Tatsuo bent his knees down and his Air Treks pushed him at an incredible, "Oh no I can't stop I'm going to crash!" and with out thinking Tatsuo jumped as hard as he could and surpassed the fence, and in that instance Tatsuo felt weightless and he thought to him self, "So this is what I've been missing all of my life." Tatsuo landed on the ground and immediately sped off through the street, "This is incredible, unimaginable." Tatsuo pushed down as hard as he could, blazing through the streets whizzing by all of the cars, "Is this my top speed? I don't think so" he sped through the street heading trough the city going so fast that everything around him was nothing but wind.

Katsu slowly skated out of a 24-hour convenience store with a soft drink; he took a swig of the drink and noticed as a person on A-Ts flew right by him. "Woah, he's fast, but can he protect those A-Ts of his?" Katsu darted down the street, dropping his drink on the ground, "He's fast, and I can hardly catch up with him." He increased his speed so he was able to tail behind Tatsuo. Katsu sped up more to get next to him, "Tatsuo?"

"Katsu?" Said Tatsuo.

"When did you get A-Ts?" Asked Katsu as the sped through the streets.

"Just today." Said Tatsuo.
"So you were finally able to fork over the money to buy a pair of A-Ts, eh yeah cheap bastard." He said as they dodged car after car.

"You know dude I can't really hear you, lets stop somewhere." Said Tatsuo. Katsu pointed out at the park, Tatsuo nodded and they both dashed to the end of the street as fast as they could, almost like an undecided race. They both stopped at the same time in the middle of the park.

"So dude what's up where did you get those Air Treks?" Asked Katsu.

"They were left on my door step, along with this." Tatsuo took off the Bio-Raider's emblem off of his jacket and showed Katsu.

"That's the Bio-Raiders' emblem, how do you have that?" said Katsu.

"It was left on my porch, did you hear what happened to them?" Asked Tatsuo.

"Yeah they were attacked, it wasn't even a regular challenge they were just mauled." Said Katsu.

"Well I think this has to do with this, and there was a message at there base I think it was written for me. It said "This will give you time to practice – Dove."

Katsu thought to him self, "could this have to do with that girl?" Katsu was silent for a moment, "Well good job on getting A-Ts, I have somewhere I need to be. See ya." Katsu rod off into the street, "That damned woman, what has she gotten him into." Katsu rode up to an A-T bar, he walked to the door but the bouncer stopped him.

"You're under aged, scram."

Katsu looked menacingly in his eyes, "Fuck off." He started to walk over to the door but the bouncer grabbed his shoulder, Katsu turned around and did a flying round house kick to the bouncer's head, "Now look who's under aged now." Katsu walked in and looked around he was standing on the top level of the A-T bar, the top level was the bar area it had tables and everything like that but it had a huge opening in the middle of the room that showed off a lower level which was a dance floor, it was full of ravers who as well rode A-Ts. The opening was surrounded and blocked off with a metal fence with boards and graffiti on it, Katsu walked down stairs to the dance floor and casually rode around the dance floor to the other side of the room to another set of stairs that lead him to an even lower level, each step the music got fainter and fainter. At the end of the stair case there was a barricaded door, Katsu knocked on it and a little slide on the door opened.

"What do you want?" asked the person behind the door.

"I want to talk to Millennium." Said Katsu.

"And who are you?" Asked the man.

"Katsu, I've been here before."

The man closed the slide and opened the door. Katsu walked in, "I'm sorry but you'll have to take off the A-Ts."

Katsu looked at him, "The A-Ts stay on." Katsu continued to move forward, "Millennium, I need some information on some one." A man about 10 or 20 years older than Katsu was sitting on an expensive looking couch with two women with questionable morals next to him.

"Whom might you be talking about?" Asked Millennium.

"I don't know her actual name but I'm guessing that she goes by the alias "Dove"." Said Katsu.

Millennium laughed, "Oh her, she's and excellent Storm Rider, I actually wanted her to join my team but she said that she didn't want to be connected publicly to a pervert like me, I don't really know, she's crazy." Said Millennium, "No one really knows too much about her except for the people she rides with."

"Who's that?" Asked Katsu.

"She isn't apart of the team but they are called, Maiden Soar. They like to hang around the church just north of here." Said Millennium.

"Thanks." Said Katsu as he started to head towards the door.

"Oh and Katsu, be sure to rub one out before you go, alright?"
