Thank you all for reviewing, I appreciate it very much. Relax Neo Conker,
when I typed that all of the characters were introduced, I had made a typo.
I meant that I thought that all of them would be introduced in the dance,
but I hadn't started the dance in that chapter. Sorry for that
misunderstanding! Reigan, I am sooooooooooooo sorry! I really biffed that
one, huh? Yes you do have your own floor.
Reigan- her floor is dark, almost gothic, but not quite.
Is that ok? I hope so. On with the chapter!
Chapter 9
Arcane and Krystal went downstairs and waited by the door for guests to arrive. Reigan had left earlier to pick up her date, and she now returned with him. Karl Shubaltz was being a gentleman by holding the door open for her, escorting her in, and treating her very well.
Alex came next, with a very attractive girl on his arm. "Welcome, to my base." He said upon entering. Alex waited for her to gasp. He was rewarded when she did. He took her in, and signed a song request right away.
Then Cyrus arrived, with Leon Tauros in tow. "I'm telling you I can't dance!" he was arguing.
"You will if you want to keep me as your girlfriend!"
"I can dance! I can dance!"
"That's what I thought."
Ryudo from the Flying Colors team came next, with Naomi from the Fluegul Team.
Arcane could have sworn he heard something like, "If anybody asks you why you're here with Naomi, me, then you had better tell them that I lost a bet. Got it?"
Then Krystal recognized the Gunsniper pilot from before, she was with Jack Sisco. Odd, her foot was still bandaged.
(Ok, sorry about this, but it's going to take too long. These are how the pairings at the dance are, ok?
Arcan/Krystal
Ryudo/Naomi
Alexender/Moonbay
Reigan/Karl Shubaltz
Cyrus/Leon
Kathryn/Brad
Jared/Kiuna
Mya/Jack Sisco
There, that took a lot less time than I thought it would. Thank you for your cooperation.)
After most of the guests had arrived, Krystal got on stage, and the music stopped.
"Thank you all for coming. As you probably know, I'm the one who invited you here. I am the Dragon Team's leader. We are the newest team, and we are hoping to have a battle soon! That's why on the back table over there, there's a clipboard sign-up sheet. Please sign up, we need to get out of class A." there were a few snickers at this. "There are refreshments over there, and the DJ booth accepts requests for songs. Don't forget to sign up for the raffle drawing. The floor above us, is a small carnival! No rides, their outside in the back. But the games are upstairs. Guys, don't forget to win your special someone a giant teddy bear! Because that's the smallest prize! Thank you for coming, and let's DANCE!" as she said the last word, fireworks sparked from beneath her and music started up. Everybody cheered, and started doing something. Whether it was going outside to ride the rides, go upstairs to win a prize, or just to dance.
"I think that went over well, what do you think, Arcane?"
"I-I th-think that I-it went over v-very well." 'Stop stuttering Arcane, just stop it!' he thought to himself.
"Thank you."
The night went on very well. The clipboard for the challengers was completely full, and the food was almost gone. It was almost all over, and Krystal got on stage to start the raffle.
"Hello? Can I have everybody's attention please?" The place went silent. "It's now time for the drawing. Would you all pull out..."
An explosion went off behind Lrystal, sending her flying forward. Arcane ran forward and caught her just before she hit the ground. They all turned around to see what had caused the explosion.
Through the dust and the rubble, you make out the shadow of 6 Zoids.
"Well well, what have we here?" The voice was hard, cold, menacing.
A familier voice answered him. "You said we wouldn't hurt them! Stop it!"
"Shut up, weakling. I'm the one in charge here, so I suggest you shut up, if you want them all to live."
While they were arguing, Krystal became awake. Taking in the situation in a glance, she whispered to Arcane, "Come on. Follow me."
They snuck out to the garage where Krystal kept her Zoids. "Hop in one. Your choice. I prefer the Dragon Scye for their speed and stealth. But it's your choice. Just hurry with it, we don't have much time!"
Seeing as how his Pheonix Liger was downstairs, Arcane climbed into an extra Drqagon Scye.
Krystal took off quietly, and went into stealth mode. Arcane did likewise.
When the rounded the building, the situation had gotten much worse. Three of the Zoids went inside, and the other three were standing guard.
Krystal must have given her position away while she dived, but as she dived, one of the Zoids looked up right at her cockpit and fired.
Sorry for the cliffhanger, but how's THAT for action, huh? Do you like, dislike, I need to know! Thanx again!
