Mitsuko was awakened by a cool breeze that blew gently over her; she felt that the place they were in was warm and bright. She opened her eyes a little, feeling the ground as she sat up strait. To her surprise, she was sitting on sand. The light of the sun was bright; she struggled to open her eyes fully.
"Buck, Laster!" she shouted, the two boys were asleep in front of her.
The boys awoke to see their surroundings; they were on some kind of beach. There were a few palm trees scattered here and there, the water gently moved up and down and was a few centimetres away from the boy's feet.
"Look, Mitsuko!" gasped Buck, pointing at something behind her.
It was Omi, lying on his back. Mitsuko knew that he had somehow saved them, unless they were all dead and up in heaven. She got to her feet and walked a closer to him, she noticed that he was perhaps three or four years younger than she was. Laster and Buck followed her; they were not quite sure whether the water warrior was alive or dead. Suddenly, Omi began to stir.
"He's getting up!" gasped Mitsuko.
The monk's little black eyes opened, he blinked a couple of times before he gave a loud shout. Before they could stop him, he grabbed one of the two artefacts lying beside him, the Shimo Staff. Buck was knocked over by the long staff, it seemed to change size and transform. Once Omi had finished off Buck, he went for Mitsuko. She dodged his punches, but she was caught off guard and kicked over. Finally, Omi let out a loud cry as he charged for Laster, the brave cyborg managed to catch the staff as Omi swung it at him. The Shimo Staff was not made from ice; it was as if it was made from solid water. Laster was tripped over and fell on his back, he and his two comrades lay panting on the white sand.
"Stop, we don't want to hurt you!" huffed Laster, getting back to his feet.
Omi put his Shimo Staff away and lowered his head.
"I am sorry, I was merely startled. Who are you strangers?" he asked.
Mitsuko, Buck and Laster were equally excited to tell the warrior.
"I'm Mitsuko, the daughter of Raimundo and Kimiko!" grinned Mitsuko.
"Howdy, my name's Buck. I'm the son of your friend Clay."
"I am Laster, my dad is Jack Spicer."
The water monk smiled, but he appeared puzzled.
"Who are these parents that you speak of?" Omi questioned.
Laster looked shocked, could it be that the strongest warrior in history had forgotten his past?
"Omi…they're your friends…you don't remember…" whispered Mitsuko.
Omi sighed; he knew that he had forgotten something. All he remembered was how to fight and use the two artefacts, as well as his own name. He didn't know where he came from or who taught him, he looked at Laster. There was an odd aura coming from the red haired boy that only Omi could detect, it somehow felt like Laster was related to Omi somehow.
"We rescued you while you were unconscious; some bad guys were going to use you to create the ultimate bio weapons," explained Laster.
"Right, now we've got you, those creeps won't be able to get their super army!" cheered Buck.
Although Omi had no clue of what was going on, he knew that it was a good. He smiled and surveyed his surroundings.
"Where exactly is this interesting place?" Omi asked.
"That's what we'd like to know, somehow you bought us here, just before you lost your memories," replied Mitsuko.
The monk put his hand to his chin, he began to think. There were little snippets of random ideas in his mind; he joined these together to somehow think of why he had brought them to the tropical island.
"I think there is a person here, someone who can get us back home. I have a feeling that I may have once known him…" he said.
Buck shrugged.
"Well, it is a pretty big island, and we seem to be the only folks here. I'd say that this fella you might be talking about will be easy to find," sighed the cowboy.
Meanwhile, back at the headquarters of Guireco, the villains had made it all back in one piece. Melvin and the largest man looked disappointed with their failed mission, but Honey-Honey and Cecil looked quite contempt.
"The only way we can make our army now is to get to Omi, but the little brats have probably been transported somewhere far away," said the big man.
Cecil smiled; it seemed that he had a backup plan.
"Don't worry Boris; we have something that will make a good substitute. Honey-Honey's battle with Jack Spicer's son let Honey-Honey get some DNA samples from Laster, as you know, his father Jack was a Beyonder too," he said.
Melvin and Boris looked shocked; the ninja stepped forwards and asked Cecil.
"Jack was a Beyonder like Omi too?" Melvin gasped.
Honey-Honey decided to explain it to the powerful ninja.
"Jack is a fully grown man now, is Beyonder genes have been destroyed by his more developed human genes. But, he married a woman and soon she gave birth to Laster. Laster's young body contains a higher concentration of the Beyonder gene; this has given us some insight to how successful these Beyonders were when they were alive," he explained.
"Think about it, a godlike race whose offspring become stronger than their parents! If we can replicate this feature into our army, the whole world will eventually be in our control!" laughed Cecil.
