Chapter 3
Bubble's POV
'Sigh… This would have been more fun if I wasn't here for work.' I think to myself. 'Not only that I don't have any date because it would get in my way too. Now boys wouldn't stop asking me to dance with.'
Currently, I am dancing with another boy that I don't know. All I know is that he is a younger classmate since this is my last year of school already. No on can be older than me anyway. As I am dancing around, I need to keep a keen eye on any danger coming. This is so stressful…
The song finally ends and my partner bows to me and walks away. I sigh in relief but then another just have to come and ask me for a dance.
"Would you like to dance with me?" A purple eye and brown hair boy asked me. I look at him closely at this eyes, because his eyes aren't like all of the boys that I have danced with. Most boys that I have danced with would have heart eyes but this boy he seems more desperate for help.
"Sure…" I answer hesitantly. Then we continue to dance. While I am dancing I can see a girl glaring at me. The girl has puff ball brown hair and brown eyes. I think deeply and figure out that her name is Princess Morbuck. One of the most annoying person that I have ever met.
"Are you trying to run away from Princess Morbuck?" I asked as I look at him.
"Yes… I guess everyone see me as Princess Morbuck's boyfriend now don't they?" He sighs.
"I'm sorry to be rude but… what is your name? I have never seen you before." I asked politely.
"Now that you mention it… I have never seen you also…Well then, my name is Bandit and this is my last year of school." Bandit introduces himself first.
"My name is Bubble and this is also my last year. I hope we can get along, it's a shame that we didn't know each other sooner." I smile.
"I still can't believe that we are in the same year but didn't get to see each other." Bandit chuckles a little.
"I guess this year is going to be full of surprises," I smile.
We both became silent and my mind starts to drift off on the days that I have to join the Special X team.
Six Years ago…
"Bye Bye Ashely!" I wave goodbye to my friend as lunch break is over and we both have to get to our class.
I skip down the hallway to suddenly see something strange in the corner of my eyes. I slowly walk behind and then press my body against the wall when they turn around. I cautiously follow the weird figure until it disappears into thin air.
I blink about two times since I could have sworn that that person was there a moment ago. I look to my right and left and then shrug a little. I was going to head back when suddenly…
*Tap* *Tap*
I feel like someone is poking at the floor below which I immediately starts to touch each tile of the floor until one of the tile that is under a trash can sink a little. The tiles reveal a hole which I fall down into it.
"Ow…" I groan in pain since landing on my butt isn't that good.
When I look up I see many figures that are wearing a cloak.
'The Special X!' I quickly recognize the uniform even though they don't have any badge. Since everyone in the school knows about the Special X, even the transfer student has to know about it on their first day. I can feel my whole body is shaking in fear and the Special X members just look at me.
"I'm…I'm… SORRY!" I quickly shouted and got up so that I can get away from this place, but one of the members stop me.
"Wait!" His electronic voice shouts at me.
"Y-Yes?" I start to stutter from fear.
"I think you will be suitable for the Special X team." The black cloak said.
"What?" I look confused.
"Since no one has ever actually followed us to this point, I think that you are suitable. You will be perfect. I will recommend you to HIM." The black cloak walks up to me and gently pat my head.
"But… you're already a team." I said.
"We are going to retire soon and I think you will be suitable for our spots. We believe in you." He answered, "So… Are you in?"
I nodded since his words really warm my heart. For the first time, I feel like I have more confident in myself than before.
Flashback End…
I smile at the nice memory that I have and continue to dance with Bandit.
As I am dancing, HIM finally showed up with Mojo by his side. Both me and Bandit quickly break apart but we did bow to each other for the dance. We both immediately walk in a different direction just like the other students.
HIM was up the stage and prepare to make his speech, I look around to see someone outside the window. I walk closer to the window and prepare to wear my black cloak and white mask since we have to be prepared.
"Welcome to our school students. We hope you all will have a great and wonderful year this year…" HIM didn't talk long before that man fires a bullet. I quickly change into my black cloak and white mask, which it can shield the bullet nicely. I look around to see another person wearing a black cloak just like me. I was glad that no one saw me changing since everyone was too absorb in HIM's speeches.
No one's POV
The five black cloak starts to move around the ballroom causing the student to panic a little, but HIM assures the student that the five black cloak just want to join at the ball. The students then relax a little bit and some are still uneasy.
One of the black cloaks turns on their transmitter of their white mask to communicate with their friend more privately.
"Everyone this is Number 1 speaking, tell me who is currently wearing the black cloak." Number 1 speaks through the speaker of the white mask.
"Number 9 is here. I am at the East wing."
"Number 5 is here. I am near HIM, ready to stand guard."
"Number 10 is here. I am so glad that we can change, I hate this fancy dress code."
"Number 4 is here. I am at the West wing, which is also close to HIM as well."
"Where are the other? I only see five including me." Number 1 asked.
"We have no clue." Number 5 respond.
"I bet that they are here, but they weren't able to change into their uniform like us." Number 9 explains.
"I guess so…" Number 1 thinks it's reasonable since a lot of students start to wonder around a lot and changing in the toilet would blow their cover by gender.
"We just have to go with five people for now." Number 10 said.
"All right Number 10 be at the front entrance and prepare for some more spies to come in." Number 1 order.
"Roger that!" Number 10 quickly sprint down the hallway to get to stand guard of the door.
Number 1 scans around the room to see that some students are feeling tense while other just looks at him, feeling very intimidated.
'When will those people appear?' Number 1 thought to himself as he continues to look around the room again. 'Show yourself already.'
"ARG!"
Number 1 quickly turns around to the source of the sound. To see a black hair boy that is wearing a sun glass has already fallen down to the floor.
"Number 1, this is number 8 speaking, I have just knocked out at a guy called Ace. I think you should already see him fall down." Number 8 said through the transmitter.
Number 1 looks again to see Number 8 is waving at him and carry Ace up.
"Why did you hurt Ace?" Number 10 question.
"He was going to shoot HIM a minute ago." Number 8 respond.
"Wait… how were you able to change while knocking him out." Number 5 questions through the transmitter.
"I change behind one of the school pillars which is close to Ace." Number 8 answered while still carrying Ace, "I doubt he is alone, he isn't even from this school, I look at his ID card."
"I see… He has a gang. Number 8, you should keep an eye on him for now." Number 1 order, to see Number 8 nodded in his direction.
'I guess the others will be coming soon like Number 8.' Number 1 looks around again. 'This should end faster than I have anticipated.'
BOOOM!
Many students start to quickly run out of the hallway, with the help of the Special X to guide them to the safest path.
'I spoke too soon.' Number 1 turns around to face a huge boy with orange hair that covers his face.
"BIG BILLY IS HERE!" The boy shouts and starts walking toward Ace and Number 8. Number 8 prepare a fighting stance.
Big Billy charges toward Number 8 but he was able to dodge while carrying Ace. Since many students have already left, there are more area to fight in so it wasn't much of a problem. Number 1 run behind and then kick Big Billy on the back. Big Billy doesn't seems to be in pain for anything which cause Number 1 to panic a little. Big Billy just turns around and look at Number 1 and grab one of the chair and starts to swing around. Number 1 quickly dodge every attack to stall sometimes when the other has come to help.
Number 10 jumps up and land on Big Billy's should and then pull his hair. Causing Big Billy to roar in pain. Number 9 quickly run to help Number 8 to carry Ace away and lock him up but Big Billy notice and starts to run for Ace.
Big Billy pulled onto Number 9's cloak to stop him from moving any further which works. Number 9 then took the chance to knock out Big Billy but it didn't work. Big Billy keeps on his pursue to get Ace. Number 8 has already run ahead so Big Billy throws Number 9 at Number 8 direction.
"DUCK!" Number 9 shouts which Number 8 quickly obey.
Number 9 just barely flew over Number 8 and he quickly did a flip to landed nicely. But due to Number 8 ducking from the attack, this cause Big Billy to appear behind Number 8. Then Big Bill grabs onto Ace and Number 8 wasn't willing to let go. It ends up as a tug of war.
Until bullets start to fire breaking through glass. Everyone in the Special X team was surprised by the attack. But Big Billy seems to be prepared as he took the chance and pulled Ace out of Number 8's grip. Number 5 and Number 4 pull their black cloak to protect HIM and themselves. Number 6 has appeared out of nowhere and help Number 1 to stop Big Billy from escaping since the black cloak is bullet proof.
"This is meaningless." Suddenly Number 3 appears and said in the transmitter, "The building is going to get more damage with those bullet firing. Let go of the intruder for now, and hide a tracking device instead. Number 8, you should take note of the school that the intruders come from as well."
Everyone looks up to see Number 3 is on the balcony having the bird's eyes view.
"Got it." All of the members nodded. Number 10 is still on Big Billy's shoulder so he took the chance and put the tracking device on Big Billy messy hair. Big Billy smashes onto the floor causing Number 1 and 6 to move back. Number 10 just jump down from Big Billy so that he can move out with Ace.
Seeing how no one is attacking Big Billy anymore, he just took the chance and run away. Along the way, Big Billy smashes the wall again to make his escape. HIM sigh seeing his now destroyed ball.
"Is everyone all right?" Number 2 and Number 7 arrived when the scene has already died down.
"Yep, everything is fine. You sure took you time." Number 6 comments.
"You don't have as much to say as them." Number 10 point out.
"Why are you two so late?" Number 9 asked.
"Let's just say… our dance partner wouldn't leave us." Number 7 answer and Number 2 nodded in agreement.
"What about you? Number 3 and Number 6." Number 1 asked.
"I was in the crowd so I can't change. That's why I took the opportunity to go upstair and get a bird's eyes view." Number 3 explains.
"For me,… I was in the bathroom doing my business and when I came out, all of you were fighting a giant guy. I really miss the chance big time." Number 6 sighs.
Everyone nodded in understanding since everyone knows that Number 6 loves to see some actions and he doesn't like to miss it.
"Let's wrap up for today everyone." Number 1 clasp and the rest spread out into the crowd.
Everyone walks out the ballroom saying a goodbye to each other.
Brick's POV
"Argg…" I groan to myself due to fatigue from the Special X and ….Dexter…
"So Brick I think blah blah blah." I shout down from what Dexter is talking about. I called out my name once or twice and I just nodded pretending that I am listening. This is a student council meeting after all. I really wish I would have run the President last year but the leader of Special X has told me not to do so. And since the Vice President was also taken, I was stuck with treasurer. I only join the student council just to get the upper hand.
'This upper hand is a pain! I can already predict what Dexter would say next.' I groan to myself again but silently so that no one would notice.
'He is so going to say we need to security for the next event.' I think to myself.
"We should increase the security for the next event," Dexter said and I grin a little.
'That is because of the last accident from the welcome ball thing.' I look at Dexter to see his next action.
"We need to increase security because we don't want it to happen like the last incident of the Welcome Ball event," Dexter said.
I decided to join in some fun to see how much I can predict Dexter.
"So how are we going to increase the security. Since you know, some security can't be trust." I said out while pretending to look really serious and dedicated. In reality, I couldn't care less about what Dexter wanted to do.
'I bet he is going to use some connection to get the security from one of his rich family member or another student in school.' I look at Dexter intensively ready for him to say what is in my mind.
"We will ask the Special X for help," Dexter answered. I was a little bit surprise but I remain calm to not show it.
"What? Are you serious? Those guys wouldn't just work for the student council that easily. They only come to the rescue when they are needed." I look at Dexter like he just became stupid. I didn't expect Dexter to actually ask the Special X for help.
"They will help since they are not as powerful as HIM. And I have already asked HIM and he actually agrees to have the Special X to help." Dexter smiles back showing that he won.
"Well, that is good." I nodded and continue pretending to be happy about it.
"Is anyone against the idea." Blossom suddenly spoke up after being quiet for so long.
Everyone in the room remains quiet and didn't say anything.
"I guess everyone agrees." Dexter smiles, "Then it should work out nicely, for the school Halloween party next month."
Everyone quickly got up and say their goodbyes to the members. I walked out the door with some of my friends who are in the student council member. We are walking behind Blossom and Dexter to see those two are just flirting happily. The strange this is that those two aren't dating. I feel so sorry for Dexter sometimes since Blossom doesn't even show a sign of interest in him that much, and it is pretty obvious that Dexter has a huge crush on her.
I took a left turn to bump into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" A very small voice shout out an apology. I look around until I met a pair of white eyes. This surprises me a little since I could have sworn that there was no one.
"It's all right." I wave to show that everything is fine.
The girl with white hair and white eyes walk away and I look at her closely. I blink for a moment and she is gone. The rub my eyes again and there really wasn't anyone. I remember the girl and felt like there is something wrong with that girl.
'She is in the same grade as me.' I open my eyes again after recalling her face and continue to walk down the hallway.
