I blinked as three people walked or rolled in through the door. The first one to walk through was a stout but petit looking woman. She had on a weird hat with creepy bunny ears on it and a frown-y face, it hid most of her short black hair. She had on a deep violet long sleeved sweater with toxic green ends and shirt collar, with an x cut in the upper center to show off some of her chest. Her shirt went to just above her knees, and way over her hands, but under was a black pair of pants, and boots on her feet. Her eyes were as odd as her appearance. She had one violet eye, and one magenta one. The next one that rolled in was a teenager with blond hair with red highlights. His shirt was a navy blue with fiery orange stripes on the cufflinks, and buttons. His pants matched well with navy blue as a pain color and 2 orange stripes down the sides. He stared at me intently, as if taking in all that I was and storing it somewhere. His hair hid most of his eyes from view but you could tell he had an eye patch on his right eye, with some weird marking on it. His other eye was metallic silver. The one who pushed him in his wheelchair was the most normal looking of them all. She had a beige and pink striped tank top, and matching pink pants and beige endings. Her hair was a nice chestnut color, and her eyes were an ever trusting forest green. I looked behind me, gulping to see the strange hooded man who purchased me to have his hood down. That poncho hid a lot. He had a weird marking on his right cheek; it came from the forehead through his right eye and down to the cheek. His eyes were a deep blue by the way. His hair matched his eyes in color, it also being a blue. He extended the hand that wasn't holding me. It was a metal arm. His right arm was metal. He gave me a confident smirk. "We've been looking for someone like you. Ya see. We're against the man in charge. For the past few years, it's been very peaceful in Haven City. Once the legendary Jak Mar defeated all the metal heads and Barron Praxis, and the right king was put on the throne. But something has happened to the king. He's been acting really weird, and deciding stupid things. We're against it if he's putting himself before the city." I looked at him speechless.

"So you need me to distract the big baddies while you all run? Count me out." I growled. The girl in the beige and pink stepped forward and leaned towards me. "Heavens no," she giggled. "We want you because you'd be great help on spy missions and stuff! You can get to places we can't! It'd be a great help if you'd join! Pretty please? You got to help out a bit but you can live here! We're all friendly here!" She said with a smile, then whispered in my newly sensitive ears, "Even hothead over there, even if he seems scary." She giggled. "Really…you want me to join your cause just because of who I am?" I asked, looking at all four around me. I blinked. "Well…I guess….for a good cause. But if I find out you're the bad guys I'm leaving!" I threatened. They all but the one they called hot head laughed. Hot head gave a small smile then frowned again, never stopping to stare anywhere else but the ground. I smiled a bit. The one who was in the pink and tan smiled at me. "Well. My name is Vivian! But most people call me Vivi." I nodded, to show her I was listening. The girl with the dark bunny head looked at me. "My name is Mio. Don't ask why. Don't ask who. It's just Mio." My ears folded back a bit but I nodded none the less. The one with blue hair and a metal arm smirked confidently and pointed at himself with his thumb. "I'm Lex. I think my parents named me well because it means defender of mankind and don't you forget it!" I nodded for the third time in that one minute, smiling now. I looked at the boy in the wheel chair. He glanced at me. "My name is Tek." I blinked. "Okay. My name is Echo." I said shyly, looking away from the group. They all made their gestures that they heard me. "Nice to mee'cha Echo," said Lex. I made a small attempt to grin, and failed. "There IS something you could do for us…if you want I mean…" Lex began and I rolled my eyes, earning a look of approval from Mio. "We need someone to take Tek here to the power station so he can shut things down while Vi, Mio, and I get a few things." I didn't bother asking what. I just nodded. I jumped to the floor and walked over to Tek; who began to roll himself out of the secret building. I followed him out. I gulped as soon as the stone door closed behind us and we rounded a corner. There were guys with guns and crimson suits everywhere. I looked up at Tek, unsure. "Those are Krimzon Guards. They WILL shoot you if you act up. Just act normal." I nodded and followed after Tek, and guess what? They didn't shoot. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. I followed Tek all the way to the power station, but outside the door was a weird man. We both stopped cold as he looked over at us, then away. He was guarding it. Damn. He was onto us. Tek seemed to stare at him, much like that of a person trying to recognize an old face. I started to walk towards the strange man, but something made me stop dead cold; a scream. Coming straight from the throat of Tek.
