Chapter 1
"So, this is Centennial Park," Amy mused as she entered the 'commons' area of the Olympic premises. The area was already filled with vendors, athletes, and tourists who were waiting for the Olympic games to start. Amy had just finished checking-in at the Olympic Village and was ready to mingle with the crowd before the Opening Ceremonies started. 'Try not throw anyone to the ground with your Judo moves,' she scolded herself. 'That will be for the competition in three days.'
Amy wandered around, not paying attention to where she was going, until she bumped into someone else. "Sorry," a boy with blue-gray eyes apologized, "I wasn't paying attention."
"I wasn't looking either," Amy smiled.
"I'd better be going," the boy said, looking at his watch. "I haven't finished unpacking."
"Do you want help?" Amy asked.
"Sure," he smiled.
'Amy!' She scolded herself, 'You want to help a boy you've only known for a few minutes.' Then she thought, 'If he tries anything, he'll get hurt. Besides, I feel a strange connection to him.'
"By the way," the boy said, "I never got your name."
"Amy," Amy blushed.
"I'm David; pleased to meet you, Amy."
With that, the two began to walk towards the Olympic Village.
"Cassie," Sara said, running after her best friend, "wait up. I know you're excited, but if we don't go at a steady pace to the Olympic Village we could get lost."
"Still logical as ever, Sara," Cassie laughed. "I want to finish unpacking so we can explore Centennial Park."
After the two girls finished unpacking, Sara and Cassie walked around the commons area for a while. While they were walking, they ran into a boy with dirty blond hair and a girl with brown hair and silver eyes. "Hi," Cassie said, "what country are you two from?"
"America," the both of them said at the same time.
"Cool," she replied. "I'm Cassie, this is Sara."
"Hi," Sara said, shaking their hands.
"Nice to meet the both of you," the silver-eyed girl said. "I'm Amy, and this is David."
"Pleased to meet you," David smiled.
All of a sudden, Amy began to rub her forehead, David started shaking his head, Cassie clutched her forehead, and Sara started breathing hard. Then, without warning, the four Olympiads looked at each other's eyes.
"Loyalty," Amy said as her eyes flashed yellow.
"Obedience," Cassie said as her eyes flashed red.
"Piety," Sara said as her eyes flashed green.
"Serenity," David said as his eyes flashed a maroon color.
Suddenly, the four athletes heard screaming coming from around them. They slowly came back into awareness only to discover what looked like soldiers in armor. They carried weapons and were trying to herd people to what looked like a castle gate. "We've got to help them!" Amy yelled.
"How?" Cassie asked.
"With these weapons, I guess," David said.
Everyone looked at the ground. Cassie had a very large sword that looked like a curved Cavalry Saber at her feet, Sara had a smaller curved sword, David had two scythes at his feet, and Amy had a weapon that looked like a sickle with a weighted end connected by a chain.
"A No-Datchi, a Katana, two scythes, and a Kusari-gama," Sara blinked, "What's going on?"
"No time to analyze the weapons," Amy said, picking up the Kusari-gama, "we've got to help those people."
On roof of an office building in Centennial Park, two feet away from the action, four armored warriors looked on. They were interested in the four atheletes who dared to chalenge their soldiers.
