NEW KIDZ IN TOWN
"You said you needed a few perfect soldiers. Well here we are." Max said to Lydecker, inditacting Zack, Krit and Syl with her arm.
"Yeah, I did say I needed a few perfect soldiers. But I didn't mean you." Lydecker smircked.
"Well, then who did you mean?" Max asked, confused.
"He means us." A voice said from the shadows of the warehouse.
Everyone whirled toward the sound of the voice as two boys and two girls stepped more into the light. But they were still in the shadows.
"Who are you?" Zack asked, the threat obvious in his voice. Lydecker stepped forward and put his hand on Zack shoulder. "Zack calm down. This is the 'V' group."
"The 'V' group?!" Krit and Max said at the same time.
"Yeah, the 'V' group. Boys and girls, feast your eyes on the best Manticore has to offer, well, had to offer." One of the girls said.
"What are you talking about? WE'RE the best Manticore had to offer." Zack said, bristling.
"Well now you don't seem to sure about that right now, do you, Zack is it?" One of the boys said. The other three collasped with laughter. A second later, the boy joined them.
Lydecker hid a smile, and stepped foreward once again. "Now, you guys, don't be so hard on the X5's."
"But its fun!" The other girl said.
Zack stepped foreward, his fists clenched. "Hey! No one messes with my siblings while I'm around."
"Ohh! Big bad Zack! I'm shacking in my booties!"
"Back off pretty boy. I don't want to have to hurt you." The first girl chimed in.
"Yeah, she might break a nail." The other boy cracked.
"HEY!" The girl complained, hitting the boy on the shoulder.
"OW! Easy there Alexz! I'm just kidding!"
"Temper, temper." the other girl reminded her. Alexz just pouted for a moment before grinning and messing the boys hair.
"Hey!"
"Ah, shut up!"
Lydecker broke in. "Come on you guys. Get out here so I can introduce all of you." The four kids stepped in the light. The first girl gave them a huge grin. Max thought she saw something sharp flash, but decided it was her imagination. "Max, Zack, Krit, Syl and Logan, this is V1-13-16." Lydeker said.
"Call me Alexz." She said. She was short, about 5'0 and thin, about 110. Her hair was thick, silky, black hair, with white bangs. It was pulled back into a ponytail, and then braided and fell to her waist. She had golden-brown skin, and a small rounded face with a pointed little chin. She had a small upturned nose, high cheekbones, a small full mouth and huge, almond-shaped, bright intense green eyes that burned with the fire of a rebel.
"This is V8-80-85."
"That's Spike to you." The first boy said. He was about 5'6 and about 130. He had bleched blonde hair that was almost white, and pale skin that highlighted his deep green eyes, and his high cheekbones. He had a scar over his left eye, was wearing black nail polish on his nails, and talked with a British accent. He had a devel-may-care smile, and an evil, mischievous glint in his eyes.
"This is V4-46-49."
"Call me Kesal." The other boy said with a grin. Max saw the sharp glint again, but when she blinked it was gone. Kesal was about 5'4 and about 140. His black hair was spiked with green tips. He had golden-brown skin, electric blue eyes, a thin nose, and a small mouth. He had a serious look, but there was a hint of a grin in his blue eyes.
"This is V6-68-61, the youngest of the group."
"Call me Pro." The last girl said. Pro was 5'2 and about 110. She had darkly tanned skin, prominent cheekbones, a full mouth, and a tiny ski-jump nose. Her eyes were huge, one green and one blue. Her hair was long, curly and a dark red with purple streaks. Pro had an angelic smile, but there was a devious glint in her eyes.
"Pro?" Zack asked, smirking. Spike looked him over.
"It stands for Project M.A.X."
"Project M.A.X?!" Zack asked, smirking even more. Spike clenched his fists.
"What, you got a problem with my baby 'sisters' name, punk?" He asked, getting right in Zack's face. Zack backed up a little, then put up his fists. Alexz ran foreward.
"Now children, if we're going to play together, we have to learn how to share." She said, putting her arms around Spikes waist and pulling him back. Spike resisted for a minute, then let her pull him back.
Lydecker stepped between the two. "Both of you knock it off!" He didn't want to have his X5's and his V's fighting. Especially because the V's would tear the X5's apart without breaking a sweat. "We're not here to fight. I don't want you to get hurt." He added, looking at Zack.
"ME! Why don't you worry about me hurting them?!" Zack asked. The V's collapsed in fits of laughter. "You think you could hurt us?" Spike asked getting his breath back.
Zack stepped foreward. "Yeah, I think I could!" He ran towards Spike, using all of his Manticore speed. Spike simply stepped out of the way, and grabbed Zack's shirt. Using Zack's momentum against him, Spike spun around and threw Zack across the room. Zack flew through the air and hit into the wall. Zack shook his head, then sat up and stumbled back across the room to where Krit, Syl and Max were.
"Aww! Did poor widdle Zacky get thrown across the room?" Pro asked with a smirk. Zack growled at her, but all Spike did was glare at him and Zack just sat down and glared at Pro. Krit started to laugh.
"Ohhh! You got your butt whooped boy! By a kid!" Zack swipped at Krit, but Kirt just moved out of the way, and Zack fell over. Which caused the V's to laugh histerically.
Pro glanced Krit's way. "Ohh! I like you! Your funny!" She looked at Alexz and Spike. "Can I keep him?"
Alexz just laughed. "Do what ever you want Pro."
"What does she mean 'keep me'?" Krit asked, confused.
"You don't want to know." Spike muttered, laughing.
"Yes I do."
Understanding lite up in Alexz's eyes. "No, trust us, you *don't* want to know."
Pro glared at Spike and Alexz, then ran up to Krit and gave him a hug. "Come on Krit, let's go play."
Krit grinned. "Lydecker, I like this girl."
Pro pulled on Krit's hand. As she started to lead him away, Alexz and Spike rushed over.
"Come on Pro. Let's go find something to do." Alexz said as she grabbed Pro's arm. When they were out of hearing range, even for an X5, Alexz whispered. "Down girl, down! What about Angel." She teased gently.
"Angel who?" Pro looked so innocent that Alexz expected her to sprout wings and a halo.
Alexz rolled her eyes, but before she could answer, Spike jumped on to her back. "Angel, as in 'my best friend Angel'." Alexz arched her back, throwing Spike to the floor. Pro looked at him.
"Who cares? Your 'best friend Angel' isn't here. And what he doesn't know won't hurt him."
Alexz just rolled her eyes, then held out a hand to Spike. He grabbed it, but instead of pulling himself up, he pulled her down into his lap.
"Ahhh! Spike!" Alexz yelled, then looked up. "Spike! We let her get away! She's going back for him!"
Alexz and Spike both jumped to their feet. Sure enough, Pro was back to flirting with Krit. When she saw Alexz and Spike coming, she yelped and ran to Kesal. She hid behind him. "Keep them away! Keep them away!"
"Oh no! Keep me out of this!" Kesal yelled, holding up his hands and backing away. "I'm not getting in the middle of this again! I'm still in pain from the last time *you* got me involved."
Pro looked at him in disgust. "Don't give me that! That was three months ago!"
"Drew broke my arm!"
"Your a fast healer you baby!"
"Not that fast!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
Alexz and Spike rolled their eyes and walked away. Max grabbed Alexz's arm. "Aren't you going to stop those two?"
"Of course not! Those two will be at it for hours! It's best to just let them get it out of their systems now."
Spike laughed and put his arm around Alexz's shoulders. "Yeah, if we're lucky, Pro will get pissed off and rebreak Kesal's arm."
Alexz saw Krit walking towards the fighting siblings out of the corner of her eye. "Uh oh."
Spike looked at her. Alexz motioned with her head towards Krit. "Oh bloody hell!" Spike whispered under his breath. He started towards them, but suddenly found himself on his stomach on the floor, with Alexz sitting on his legs.
"Oh no you don't, William!"
"I told you not to call me that!" Spike growled. He tried to roll over, but Alexz was stronger than she looked. She was also the most stubborn of the bunch. She made a face at Spike's back.
"Deal with it." She said, grinning. "William!" Alexz dragged the name out, making Spike cringe.
Krit finally managed to pull Pro away from Kesal. She looked like she was about to follow up on Spike's wish and rebreak Kesal's arm. Krit had to pry her off of Kesal's throat. Krit picked Pro up off the ground. Pro kicked, and fought him.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"No way Pro. Calm down."
"Let me go! I'm gonna kill him!"
"No your not Pro, no your not."
"Yeah Pro! You might mess your hair!" Kesal smirked. Alexz and Spike noticed the way Pro's eyes blazed. They looked at each other.
"Uh oh!" They said at the same time.
Max looked at them. "Uh oh what? Is Krit going to get hurt?"
"I'm not worried about Krit right now. I'm worried about my bleedin' idiot of a 'sister' killing my even bloodier idiot of a 'brother'." Spike said getting to his feet. Noticing Max's worried look, he smiled, something flashing in his mouth again. "Don't worry, Krit will be fine. It's Pro and Kesal we should be worried about."
Pro managed to get her feet on the floor, and tossed Krit over her back. He landed on his back, out of breath but fine. Kesal backed away, smirk still in place.
"Ohh, I'm so scared! It's my baby 'sister', the escaped Project M.A.X.!"
"Kesal! You are a dead man!" Pro screamed as she ran at him. Kesal may have been arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. He turned tail and ran.
"Help!" He yelled as he ran past Alexz and Spike where they were sitting on a table.
"Don't think so Kes." Spike yelled, grinning.
"Yeah Kes. You've dug your own grave. We ain't helping."
"Thanks a lot you two!" Kesal's voice floated back to them, filled with disgust.
Alexz and Spike laughed. Then they heard Kesal scream in pure terror as Pro got close enough to grab his shirt. Then Pro's yell of rage, and the sound of a shirt tearing, as Kesal managed to slip out of Pro's grasp once again. He ran past Alexz and Spike again, this time his shirt flapping out behind him, and the murder in his eyes mixed with terror. Kesal loved to wear long baggy shirts to his knees that he tucked into his jeans. But Pro had untucked his shirt, and had ripped a huge chunk out of the back of it.
Pro ran past them, following Kesal, a peice of the green frabic from Kesal's shirt cluched in her fist. When they saw the look in her eyes, Alexz and Spike stiffled their laughter until she was past them. By that time, Krit had gotten his breath back and was watching Pro and Kesal come towards him. Kesal thought of one last person who could help him, short of what ever Powers That Be sending someone to scoop him out of danger. But, Nefertiti was on a mission... No! Bad Kesal, bad! He was in danger of being hung, drawn and quartered, and he was thinking about his raging horomones! He looked around widly, then saw Krit. His eyes lite up with a mischievous idea. Yes! He could use Pro's own raging hormones against her. He changed course slightly, and headed towards Krit.
"Krit, buddy, friend, pal, chum, acquaintance, companion, amigo! Help me out here!" He yelled as he ran past.
Krit launched himself at Pro's legs as she ran past. She tried to get up, but Krit's superior weight kept her legs pinned to the ground, allowing Kesal to reach the ladder that lead to the balcony and disapear into the darkness.
Pro groaned out loud. "Now I'll never catch him." Then she used her agilty to twist her body so that she was laying on her back instead of her stomach and her legs were free from Krit's hold. Then she stood up, straightened her shirt, and ran a hand through her long red hair. Then she whriled around to face Krit, murder in her eyes.
"JUST WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING! I ALMOST HAD HIM! YOU, YOU, YOU...ARGHHH!" Pro started to turn away, but Krit grabbed her arms and spun her back around. He pinned her to the wall and kissed her.
Pro purred and leaned into him, returning the kiss. Alexz and Spike looked at each other before runnng towards the two. They stopped just before reaching them, Alexz racking her brain to come up with a plan to get Pro and Krit apart.
"What are we going to do?" She whispered, so softly that only Spike could pick it up.
Spike grinned at her, and she frowned. "What's with the smile? I don't like it when you smile like that!" Alexz held up her hands and started to back away. "Spike? Stop that! Your scaring me!" Spike dived at Alexz and pinned her to the wall. Alexz glared at him, as he pinned her wrists to the wall. His forehead extended, and his eyes narrowed, becoming ferel and yellow, exposing the V's vampire blood.
"SPIKE! Let me go! No! Bad idea, bad idea! Stop! Stupid idea! Stupid idea!" Alexz yelled as she tried to wiggle away, but Spike had her wrists frimly pinned to the wall. Alexz looked around for an escape route and not seeing one, she began to panic as Spike leaned closer and closer. 'Oh bloody hell!' she cursed in her mind. 'Why the bloody hell not.' And with that she leaned towards Spike and kissed him first. Spike's eyes opened wide, before he closed them and purred as he kissed her back. Alexz smiled when she heard him purr. Then she broke the kiss and ducked under his arms.
Then she walked over to where Pro and Krit were still obvoius to the world.
"Hey! Pro! Pro, need to breath! Hello, Krit is mortal! Need oxygen!" Pro broke the kiss long enough to growl "Bite me!" before going back to kissing Krit. Alexz rolled her eyes. Then she shoved her way in between the two. Since both were severel inchs taller then her, they were able to keep kissing over her head. Alexz swore under her breath at whoever had given her the short gene, but pushed it out of her head.
She put her hands on Krit's chest, then pushed him away from Pro. Somehow they managed to stay connected for a few more moments before Alexz managed to force them apart. Spike grabbed Pro's arm and got her out of there fast.
Then Lydecker managed to save them. "Come on you guys! We are here to do a mission, not play Love Connection!" Pro looked at him, and gave him her best 'kicked puppy look'.
"I can't help it! Leave me alone!" Pro was trying to sneak around Alexz, but Spike grabbed her.
"I don't think so little sis." He sat her down on a chair and reached into one of the pockets of his duster and pulled out a couple pair of handcuffs.
"I don't even want to know." Alexz said, rolling her eyes.
Spike grinned. "Let's just say I like to be prepared."
"Ahhhh! I didn't need to hear that!" Alexz yelled, putting her hands over her ears.
"Well you heard it. Deal with it, Alexzandria!"
Alexz turned around with fire in her eyes. "What did you just call me?" She asked between clenched teeth. Spike finished handcuffing Pro hands and feet to the chair, and turned around to face Alexz, a smirk on his face.
"Alexzandria." Spike drew the name out, enjoying the look of pain on Alexz's face.
Sudenly, Krit broke up the fight. "Hey! You can't..."
Spike reached out and covered Krit's mouth. "Shut up." Krit closed his mouth. Spike pushed Krit until he reached a chair. "Sit down." Krit sat. "Good boy!" Spike said, grinning as he went back to teasing Alexz.
"Spiiiiiiiike!" Pro whined. "Why are you doing this? It's not fair."
"Life isn't fair." Spike shot back. From behind them came the sound of Kesal laughing hysterically. Then they heard " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" as Kesal fell over the railing of the balcony and landed on the floor below. Spike and Alexz started to laugh, and even Pro giggled a little.
Kesal limped over, rubbing his upper arm as he made his way over to his siblings. Pro smirked at him.
"Stupid klutz! That's what you get."
"Shut up." Kesal mumbled, rubbing his chin where a bruise was beginning to form.
Alexz rolled her eyes and fought to keep a smile off her face. Max tapped her on the shoulder.
"Are they always like this?" She asked.
"Like what?" Alexz asked absently.
"Always at each others throats."
"Yep." Alexz responded, flashing a smile at Max.
"Yep what?" Kesal asked, jumping up onto the table to sit next to his 'sister'.
"None of your business Kesal." Alexz smirked.
"Just tell me what you two were talking about!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"YES!'
"NO!"
"Hey you two, chill." Spike said. Alexz and Kesal were now standing toe to toe, glaring at each other. Except Kesal had to look down and Alexz had to look up to meet each others eyes. Spike rolled his eyes and stepped between the two 'siblings'. "Guys! We don't have time to be fighting!"
Several hours later, they headed out.

Her hair was long, curly and a dark red with purple streaks. Pro had an angelic smile, but there was a devious glint in her eyes.
"Pro?" Zack asked, smirking. Spike looked him over.
"It stands for Project M.A.X."
"Project M.A.X?!" Zack asked, smirking even more. Spike clenched his fists.
"What, you got a problem with my baby 'sisters' name, punk?" He asked, getting right in Zack's face. Zack backed up a little, then put up his fists. Alexz ran foreward.
"Now children, if we're going to play together, we have to learn how to share." She said, putting her arms around Spikes waist and pulling him back. Spike resisted for a minute, then let her pull him back.
Lydecker stepped between the two. "Both of you knock it off!" He didn't want to have his X5's and his V's fighting. Especially because the V's would tear the X5's apart without breaking a sweat. "We're not here to fight. I don't want you to get hurt." He added, looking at Zack.

Alexz saw Krit walking towards the fighting siblings out of the corner of her eye. "Uh oh."
Spike looked at her. Alexz motioned with her head towards Krit. "Oh bloody hell!" Spike whispered under his breath. He started towards them, but suddenly found himself on his stomach on the floor, with Alexz sitting on his legs.
"Oh no you don't, William!"
"I told you not to call me that!" Spike growled. He tried to roll over, but Alexz was stronger than she looked. She was also the most stubborn of the bunch. She made a face at Spike's back.
"Deal with it." She said, grinning. "William!" Alexz dragged the name out, making Spike cringe.
Krit finally managed to pull Pro away from Kesal. She looked like she was about to follow up on Spike's wish and rebreak Kesal's arm. Krit had to pry her off of Kesal's throat. Krit picked Pro up off the ground. Pro kicked, and fought him.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"No way Pro. Calm down."
"Let me go! I'm gonna kill him!"
"No your not Pro, no your not."
"Yeah Pro! You might mess your hair!" Kesal smirked. Alexz and Spike noticed the way Pro's eyes blazed. They looked at each other.
"Uh oh!" They said at the same time.
Max looked at them. "Uh oh what? Is Krit going to get hurt?"
"I'm not worried about Krit right now. I'm worried about my bleedin' idiot of a 'sister' killing my even bloodier idiot of a 'brother'." Spike said getting to his feet. Noticing Max's worried look, he smiled, something flashing in his mouth again. "Don't worry, Krit will be fine. It's Pro and Kesal we should be worried about."
Pro managed to get her feet on the floor, and tossed Krit over her back. He landed on his back, out of breath but fine. Kesal backed away, smirk still in place.
"Ohh, I'm so scared! It's my baby 'sister', the escaped Project M.A.X.!"
"Kesal! You are a dead man!" Pro screamed as she ran at him. Kesal may have been arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. He turned tail and ran.
"Help!" He yelled as he ran past Alexz and Spike where they were sitting on a table.
"Don't think so Kes." Spike yelled, grinning.
"Yeah Kes. You've dug your own grave. We ain't helping."
"Thanks a lot you two!" Kesal's voice floated back to them, filled with disgust.
Alexz and Spike laughed. Then they heard Kesal scream in pure terror as Pro got close enough to grab his shirt. Then Pro's yell of rage, and the sound of a shirt tearing, as Kesal managed to slip out of Pro's grasp once again.

He could use Pro's own raging hormones against her. He changed course slightly, and headed towards Krit.
"Krit, buddy, friend, pal, chum, acquaintance, companion, amigo! Help me out here!" He yelled as he ran past.
Krit launched himself at Pro's legs as she ran past. She tried to get up, but Krit's superior weight kept her legs pinned to the ground, allowing Kesal to reach the ladder that lead to the balcony and disapear into the darkness.
Pro groaned out loud. "Now I'll never catch him." Then she used her agilty to twist her body so that she was laying on her back instead of her stomach and her legs were free from Krit's hold. Then she stood up, straightened her shirt, and ran a hand through her long red hair. Then she whriled around to face Krit, murder in her eyes.
"JUST WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING! I ALMOST HAD HIM! YOU, YOU, YOU...ARGHHH!" Pro started to turn away, but Krit grabbed her arms and spun her back around. He pinned her to the wall and kissed her.
Pro purred and leaned into him, returning the kiss. Alexz and Spike looked at each other before runnng towards the two. They stopped just before reaching them, Alexz racking her brain to come up with a plan to get Pro and Krit apart.
"What are we going to do?" She whispered, so softly that only Spike could pick it up.
Spike grinned at her, and she frowned. "What's with the smile? I don't like it when you smile like that!" Alexz held up her hands and started to back away. "Spike? Stop that! Your scaring me!" Spike dived at Alexz and pinned her to the wall. Alexz glared at him, as he pinned her wrists to the wall. His forehead extended, and his eyes narrowed, becoming ferel and yellow, exposing the V's vampire blood.
"SPIKE! Let me go! No! Bad idea, bad idea! Stop! Stupid idea! Stupid idea!" Alexz yelled as she tried to wiggle away, but Spike had her wrists frimly pinned to the wall. Alexz looked around for an escape route and not seeing one, she began to panic as Spike leaned closer and closer. 'Oh bloody hell!' she cursed in her mind. 'Why the bloody hell not.' And with that she leaned towards Spike and kissed him first. Spike's eyes opened wide, before he closed them and purred as he kissed her back. Alexz smiled when she heard him purr. Then she broke the kiss and ducked under his arms.
Then she walked over to where Pro and Krit were still obvoius to the world.
"Hey! Pro! Pro, need to breath! Hello, Krit is mortal! Need oxygen!" Pro broke the kiss long enough to growl "Bite me!" before going back to kissing Krit. Alexz rolled her eyes. Then she shoved her way in between the two. Since both were severel inchs taller then her, they were able to keep kissing over her head. Alexz swore under her breath at whoever had given her the short gene, but pushed it out of her head.
She put her hands on Krit's chest, then pushed him away from Pro. Somehow they managed to stay connected for a few more moments before Alexz managed to force them apart. Spike grabbed Pro's arm and got her out of there fast.
Then Lydecker managed to save them. "Come on you guys! We are here to do a mission, not play Love Connection!" Pro looked at him, and gave him her best 'kicked puppy look'.
"I can't help it! Leave me alone!" Pro was trying to sneak around Alexz, but Spike grabbed her.
"I don't think so little sis." He sat her down on a chair and reached into one of the pockets of his duster and pulled out a couple pair of handcuffs.
"I don't even want to know." Alexz said, rolling her eyes.
Spike grinned. "Let's just say I like to be prepared."
"Ahhhh! I didn't need to hear that!" Alexz yelled, putting her hands over her ears.
"Well you heard it. Deal with it, Alexzandria!"
Alexz turned around with fire in her eyes. "What did you just call me?" She asked between clenched teeth. Spike finished handcuffing Pro hands and feet to the chair, and turned around to face Alexz, a smirk on his face.
"Alexzandria." Spike drew the name out, enjoying the look of pain on Alexz's face.
Sudenly, Krit broke up the fight. "Hey! You can't..."
Spike reached out and covered Krit's mouth. "Shut up." Krit closed his mouth. Spike pushed Krit until he reached a chair. "Sit down." Krit sat. "Good boy!" Spike said, grinning as he went back to teasing Alexz.
"Spiiiiiiiike!" Pro whined. "Why are you doing this? It's not fair."
"Life isn't fair." Spike shot back. From behind them came the sound of Kesal laughing hysterically. Then they heard " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" as Kesal fell over the railing of the balcony and landed on the floor below. Spike and Alexz started to laugh, and even Pro giggled a little.
Kesal limped over, rubbing his upper arm as he made his way over to his siblings. Pro smirked at him.
"Stupid klutz! That's what you get."
"Shut up." Kesal mumbled, rubbing his chin where a bruise was beginning to form.
Alexz rolled her eyes and fought to keep a smile off her face. Max tapped her on the shoulder.
"Are they always like this?" She asked.
"Like what?" Alexz asked absently.
"Always at each others throats."
"Yep." Alexz responded, flashing a smile at Max.
"Yep what?" Kesal asked, jumping up onto the table to sit next to his 'sister'.
"None of your business Kesal." Alexz smirked.
"Just tell me what you two were talking about!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"YES!'
"NO!"
"Hey you two, chill." Spike said. Alexz and Kesal were now standing toe to toe, glaring at each other. Except Kesal had to look down and Alexz had to look up to meet each others eyes. Spike rolled his eyes and stepped between the two 'siblings'. "Guys! We don't have time to be fighting!"
Several hours later, they headed out.
