Very sorry and I am sure by now you all hate me for delaying this story. Like I said before I go into a complete writers block during the summer months. I was hoping to have finished this story by now but obviously that is not the case. So to prevent anyu delay the story will end here, yes, I must say this is the last chapter. But notto worry, actually this story has dragged on much longer then I expected and probably turned to be twice as long. Oh my, I do get carried away don't I? Well here it is, the last chapter of Neo-Revolution.
Oh, and I don't own DDR..rights! I don't own the rights
==============================
"Konemi. Konemi?"
Konemi stirred, waking to the sound of a familier voice. Her head felt groggy and it was as if she had gone in head on combat with a freight train, and lost. Gradually she became aware of the silent steady noises that surounded her, the insanely white light blinded her as it bounced off the white bedsheets and hit her sight with more intensity then desired. It took sometimetoadjust before she fully came to and became aware of exactly where she was.
"Welcome back to the living kid."
Konemi adjusted her vision, trying to place a face with the voice. When her eyes focused she found that she did actually recognize the voice, and for good reason. Though why he was here she had yet to discover. "Nick?"
Nick nodded. "It's good you remember. We have a few things to discuss."
"Just a moment Nick."
Konemi sat up to get a better view and the silver haired martial artist turned around to look at Talon who appeared to have only just arrived. The boy abandoned all his previous thoughts on an instant when he saw Konemi, approaching her immediatly. The girl atonce noticed a difference in the appearence of her friend. For one thing his expression was that of genuine concern, even moreso then in the months she had come to know him. "Are you alright Jen?"
Konemi nodded. "A little groggy. The competition?"
Talon winced slightly and it was clear he really didn't want to have to tell her anything about the competition. Loyalty finally broke through and the other dancer answered, shaking his head. "Sorry Nemi...You've been asleep nearly two days. That song nearly killed ya you were so exausted...Ember won by default. You're out Jen."
Konemi bit her lip slightly as if trying to hold back her disapointment, finally she slammed her fist down on her bed. "No!"
Talon bore her frusteration, half expecting it in truth, in the time he had known her Konemi was never one to back down easily. "Konemi calm down, you're supposed to be resting."
Konemi fought back tears, her face a crimson red. "That was my best chance for my father. It was my only chance. Now it's gone. I won't accept it Kevin! I just won't!"
Talon grasped the girl's hand, holding onto it. "You have to Jen, no one is going to let you exaust yourself like that. Forging document authorizations? Yes they found out about that one too. Lucky you are who you are Jen or you'd be in a lot worse trouble. All that stress you been putting yourself through didn't help either."
Konemi was ready to reply when Talon stopped her. "Don't mess with me bout this Jen! Both you an I know you're in no shape ta go through this again. God help me I won't allow it, not like this."
Konemi looked at her friend and finally sighed in defeat, knowing that Talon was right, she wasn't going anywhere. Nick looked at the two and nodded, resigning to his two younger companions as he stood up. "Well I do have some news to share with you. It can wait."
He began to leave, turning around at the door. "I'll meet up with you two later."
With that, Nick was gone. Konemi looked down, staring at her bed in refusal to look at Talon. "I failed."
*****************************
Watching the competition was a lot different then actualy participating. There was a longing for Konemi to continue participation, although her disqualification had made it impossible. Still, the remaining participents were amazing and watching their movements on the dance floor was perfection, a perfection she wanted to be a part of. Talon looked at his friend and as if noticing her regret he put his hand on hers. "Few years, you can be outthere again."
Konemi shook her head. "It's not about that Kevin, competing. I love competing but...even I knew I wouldn't make it to the final round, not in this competition. I guess this was just a long shot. I want to know who killed him, why would anyone?"
Talon looked at Konemi and frowned slightly. Finally he stood up, offering to help Konemi as well. "Let's go, we can check the final showdown later."
Konemi nodded, wanting to be just about anywhere besides watching the tournoment just now.
"Are you both done?"
Talon turned to nick, who had just approached him and Konemi outside the DDR building. "Start talkin Nick. What's this about. Arn't ya supposed to be stayin in Chicago?"
"Hey Talon! Konemi."
Both turned in slight surprise when Linux walked up behind Nick, lugging a laptop along. She smiled, holding the device up. "Bless Hunter for gracious use of his computers."
Nick snorted. "Just about the only thing he was good for."
Talon nodded. "Yea great, cut it Nick. What are ya doin here?"
Nick nodded, getting straight to the point. "Wouldn't believe what Shenlong suggested."
"Shenlong? Inferno's right hand, kinda dark. That Shenlong?"
Nick nodded. "Dance Rave will survive. We're gonna make sure of that. Both of us, rivalries aside."
Talon stared at his friend in disbeleif. "Yer kiddin me. So Black Falcon? And Red Flare?"
Linux nodded. "But really, that's not why we're here. Hunter left behind a lot of fun toys, mostly his computers."
Talon nodded. "Meaning you hid just about half from the authorities."
Linux shrugged and took a seat on a bench. "Hey there was enough to convict him, anyway you know me and computers." She typed into the keyboard then turned the screen around for Talon, Konemi and Nick to see. "Hunter did have a contact. I traced it back."
Talon raised an eyebrow. "Yea?"
Linux nodded. "Anold Haynes ring a bell?"
"The philanthropist guy. Got a small island, few choppers....wipes his ass with $100 dollar bills?"
Linux grinned slightly. "Well some of legolas rubbed off on you...Ya know the guys also into some pretty high stake bets. As if he didn't have enough cash."
Talon suddenly came to a realization, staring at Linux. "Arnold Haynes?"
Linux nodded grimly. "...is Hunter's contact. Had to do a lot of backtracking, but it's there."
Konemi stared in disbelief, barely able to come to terms with the concept. "Arnold Haynes...killed my father?"
Talon shook his head. "Don't make any sense. Why would the guy go an take him out?"
"Exactly what I would like to know kid."
All four turned to look at the new voice, looking at the form of a tall man, over 6 feet. His hair was stright, down to his chin and a light platinum blue. He wore a blue coat, split in the back with no sleeves, but the cuffs rising just a few inches above his shoulders. His atire was almost space age and under his coat was a form fiting tunic and blue pants, the sleeves reaching down to end with triangles that fit over the back of his hands. He wore blue boots as well. In fact ha it not been for his skin the man was almost completly blue, and that included his eyes.
Konemi stared at the man, blinking slightly. "Alex?"

Boy ain't you happy. One more chapter, I promise.
