Chapter 16: Mysterious Rudie, Zero
Pharoah Park...only Spiral and Rhythm went. Of course, the others could have gone, but they were to tired or so Ichigo said. It seemed like Ichigo talked for everyone for these past couple of days they had been planning for their attack on Pharoah Park. But no, the plan was a complete diaster after no one wanted to participate. All that planning gone to waist...
Spiral glanced up at Rhythm who laid crouched on a ledge. "Rei-chan, why are we hiding like this?"
Rhythm winked and said, "The best defense is the best offense."
Spiral glared at her. "Ooo...I like it..."
Rhythm grinned, and scanned the area of Pharoah Park. Chain hadnt given her any type of description of Zero what so ever, so she was stuck looking for him by herself, if only Spiral would stop scolding her and whinning about how irrational Rhythms reasoning was.
The wind blew by, ruffling Rhythms bangs as she tucked a piece behind her ear. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Get ready Sakki...I think thats him!"
Sure enough, a male teenager around 17 was skating from the pharoah statue. Spiral leaned over off her ledge a bit. "Is...is that him?" she asked, turning to Rhythm.
Rhythm didnt say anything but Spiral saw as she continued to stare at Zero. "REI-CHAN!" shouted Spiral.
Rhythm snapped out of her daze and turned her gaze toward Spiral. "Why are you yelling Sakki?" she asked and turned back to stare at Zero. "Common...we gotta cut him off short."
Rhythm jumped off the ledge, and landed in a grind. Spiral sighed and jumped off also, following Rhythm, she landed a few inches in front of her and assumed the lead. Rhythm stopped before Spiral realized that she was still going. "Rei-chan, whyd you stop?" she asked.
"Sakki...we wait..."
Spiral gave an impatient sigh. "Wait for what!? Whats there to wait for!? We need to go after him right now!" she yelled.
Rhythm shook her head. "No, I have an idea..."
Spiral raised an eyebrow. "And that would be?" she asked.
Rhythm smirked. "We give him a sneak attack. First, we wait behind these two ledges and when we see him, POW!" She punched her hands together. "We ATTACK!"
Spiral held her head in her hands. "Rei-chan, are you sure thats the most sensible plan you could come up with?" she asked.
"Its a damn good one if I might say so myself!" said Rhythm smiling smuggily. Something Spiral hadnt seen in a long time. It actually made her smile also. Rhythm smirked and said, "Now, what do you say?" she asked.
"Alright Rei-chan, if its your insane plan, Ill go along with you." Spiral smiled. "Besides, I think I might have fun beating a guy up today."
Rhythm frowned. "I didnt ever say that!" she said.
Spiral giggled. "Oh yes you did...when we were kids you did."
Rhythm rolled her eyes and peered from behind the statue. "Get read Sakki!" called Rhythm as she turned to look at Spiral who nodded.
Zero, he wore a black shirt with a small silver circle on the upper right side. Black pants that went perfectly with his black skates, and black hair. Completely unaware of Rhythm and Spiral waiting for their chance to strike, he continued to skate on.
"Ready...GO!" Spiral and Rhythm lunged for Zero, who screamed out at the two girls who wrestled him to the ground.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" he shouted.
"Not a chance, Zero!" shouted Rhythm wrestling into a vice like grip. "Chain told me what you were off to do, you Rokkaku scum." she said.
Zero sighed, as his shoulders were grabbed back by Rhythm. He closed one eye and winced. "I see he told you."
"What?" asked Rhythm as she backed up.
Spiral looked at Rhythm and said, "Whats wrong?"
"What do you mean?" asked Rhythm shaking her head, her braids slapping her forearms.
Zero strecthed. "Chians my half-brother." he said.
"Chain?" asked Spiral, confused about what Rhythm had seemed to be talking about with Zero.
"No wonder Chain knew so much Zero Gravity...Zero and Chain are actually brothers..." Rhythm put a hand to her mouth. "But how come Chain never told me?" she asked.
Zero rolled his eyes. "Chain? My brother, hes the one you should really be after."
Rhythm blinked. "Lies!" she yelled.
"Not a lie! Chain tricked you into coming after me. He probably told you about my mother, right?" he said "Well did he tell you about how my mother had to flee from Tokyo-to to go to Osaka? The threats from the Rokkaku were so...persistant that she had no choice but to live in constant fear and hide."
Rhythm covered her ears. "STOP IT! STOP ALL OF THIS! There is just to many sides to this one story everyone seems to be telling me!"
Zero frowned. "I see I will have to join you...to take you to Rokkaku for the real answers of the past, or so..."
He looked at Rhythm and a confused Spiral. "I will become a GG be all means even if you refuse...for you need my help."
