"Huh?"
"Axl, are you O.K."
"What's wrong little man."
"I was thinking of the time I first met bro, and when he became a member of my family."
"So Zabuzane's last name is Gunnar.
"Zabu Gunnar. Sounds nice."
"Yea, and mom treats him like he was born in the family."
"That is real nice of Mrs. Claira to do that for Z."
"But Zeno, you said bro was your brother."
"Yeah."
"Should Z have the last name you do?"
"Not necessarily. Z is my brother, but not of blood. We're from the same clan."
"Uh Dark Blade...didn't you say that the two of you are twins."
"Yea. Didn't twins come from the same mother?"
"We were born at the exact time and date."
"So you and bro grew up together till he was 12."
"Z went missing at the age of 8."
"What!?" Both Mary and Axl couldn't believe that Zabuzane went missing for four years.
"Yea. He been missing for 4 year. Can you believe it."
"Bro told me he had no family."
"What are you saying!"
"What do he say!"
"Bro never had a family when he grew up."
"Axl!"
"What is with all this noise."
Mary, Zeno and Axl turn to the sound of the voice. "Jaden."
"Hey Mary, what are you and the others doing here."
"Well..." Mary couldn't think of an excess for Zeno, Axl and herself being in the red dorm.
"We needed a quite place to talk." Zeno get a reasonable excess for the three of them being there.
No one believe him. "Zeno, the truth." Jack wants the truth, the whole truth.
"Commander!? I didn't know you were here." Zeno couldn't believe Jack was there.
"Commander!? It's a pleasure to see you here." Mary is just as shock.
"Hey Jack, took you long enough to get here." Axl knew Jack was coming.
"Alex, what are you doing here?" Jack have no idea Alex would be there.
"I was put on the same mission with you bud."
"THIS IS MY MISSION, MY RESPONIBITELY!" Zeno slam his hands on the table. Zeno didn't want Zabuzane to kill him if anything happen to Alex when Zeno is around.
"Dark Blade..."
"Commanders, you need to stay out of this and let me handle this."
"Zeno, don't call me by my rank. Call me Alex or Axl."
"No can do Zeno. Alex and I receive orders from higher up."
"...crap."
"Jaden and his friends are also helping."
"I said I don't need more help. When will you understand that." Zeno didn't want to be responsible for their death.
"Then what about me?" Mary didn't want to be left out when Zeno went out on a mission.
"You're all the backup I need."
"I'm glad Tom wasn't here earlier today." Alex grin so wide it raise eyebrows.
"Axl..." Zeno and Mary knew what Alex was getting at.
"Jack! Save me!" Alex run behind Jack for safety.
"Axl...What were you doing watching us." Zeno could care less about killing Alex.
"Why would you do that?" Mary do not want Tom to get involved in this.
The duel gang have no idea what the problem was.
"Will everyone just calm down so we can talk." Jack wants to talk about the problem in a mildly manner, but no one would listen.
"ATTION!" Tyranno yell so loud the nearest military base heard him.
"At ease Sgt. Hasselberry."
"Sir."
"cough...Zeno, you and Mary are a powerful two-man unit. We need Alexis, Blair and Jaden for the mission."
"Why them?" Mary didn't understand what they had to do with this.
"As you know, Jaden is wanted by the Mavericks to strengthen the army's power to rule the world. They already have Zabuzane under their control with a slim chance of getting him back."
"With Z working for them, no one will dare challenge the Maverick law. Even the team Jack and I are on failed miserably but lived through the Grim Reaper's friend's most powerful technic. So be warn if you see him." Alex could feel guilt for Z's heart to be alter.
"So why me?" Jaden and the others have no clue.
"You Jaden posses the courage and spirit Zabuzane had. That make you a target to them."
"Besides it's not every day a mere kid gets chosen to save the world. You're not a mere kid.
Zeno wasn't paying attion to the conversion that should concern him, but it didn't matter. The alone words in Zeno's head were from Sigma, Leader of the Mavericks. "If you want Zero back, I want you to kill this kid for me. Understand Zeno." Zeno remembered the look on Zero's face. The smile was crooked and evil, the eyes were red with lust for blood and the massive sword cried in pain from being use to kill instald of protecting.
"Zeno."
Zeno snap out of his trance. "Uh." Zeno didn't hear what Jack and Alex were talking about.
"Zeno, I want you to train Jaden to use the Courage Guard."
"Sure thing X." Zeno turn to face Alexis and raise his left arm. "Weapon ArM: Katana Striker." The bracelet on his arm glowed then vanished, being replace by a gray katana with two red gems on the handle. "Die." Zeno charge Alexis ready to kill her.
Jaden jump in the middle of the attack.
"Jaden, are you o.k.?"
"Leave Alexis alone." A green aura surround Jaden making Zeno's attack stop an inch from Jaden's chest.
"Jaden!" Everyone was scared that Jaden would die from that.
The katana turn back to it's bracelet form. "You have the skill, but not the experience." Zeno walk out of the dorm. "You coming or not."
"Right...behind...you." Jaden staggered to leave the dorm.
"Mary, you will train Alexis with the Wisdom Hold while Alex and I train Blair to use the Power Shot." Mary and Alex nod in agreement.
"Come on Alexis, there is a lot to learn."
"Well Shrimp, let's start your training."
