Chapter 16: Secret Hideout!

Alexis woke up after a perfect night's rest. Still resting on Kai, who was wide awake, she sat up

and greeted the morning.

"Hi Kai! Hello Sun!" she chirped, stretching.

"You're obviously in a good mood, for a girl being chased," said Kai.

"Now that remark just ruined my morning," said Alexis, a little angry at Kai.

Kai just smirked.

"I guess I'll just have to prepare for it. Let's get changed and see if Ray and Sakuya are awake,"

said Alexis, jumping out of bed.

They both got changed. Alexis was wearing her BladeBreaker t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. Kai

was wearing his usual.

Ray and Sakuya were awake too, already dressed.

"Good Morning!" said Sakuya, who was reading a book.

She put down the book.

"What's the game plan for today?" asked Ray.

"Chase after Biovolt and knock 'em dead!" said Alexis.

"Okay... maybe not dead, but I'm pretty sure we can make them leave Alexis alone," said Sakuya.

"Anything to say Kai?" asked Ray.

"Let's go get the others," said Kai.

"We've got a problem," said Sakuya, looking out the window. There were some of the Demolition

Boys climbing up some rope attached to the window.

"They do that every morning, and you know what you do?" said Alexis. She opened the window,

and threw off the rope. BANG!! The Demolition Boys landed on the ground.

"1.2.3. Retreat," said Alexis.

"RETREAT!!" cried one of the Demolition Boys.

"We better get out of here quick. They'll come back," said Alexis.

She rushed out of the house like a wild cat catching her prey, followed by the others as they

scurried after her.

"Come on! We have to hurry!" shouted Alexis, "I'm going to a friend's house where we will meet

all of the Lightning Saix!"

The reached a house not far away from Alexis' house.

"Personal Password?" said a machine that looked more like an intercom.

"AlexStar," she said quietly into the machine.

"Opening gate for codename AlexStar," said the machine.

The gates opened and Alexis, Kai, Sakuya and Ray enter the premises.

"Alex Star? What was that about?" asked Ray, looking at the big house that they were

approaching.

"Well, to get into her house, you have to have a password and the computer is voice activated. So

you could go saying my password, but without my voice, you'd be beaten up like never before,"

said Alexis.

Alexis opened one of the double doors and everyone went in. The house looked like a mansion.

Very clean and fancy artwork and pottery all over the place.

"Rena! Kite!" screamed Alexis.

"Hey Alexis! Everyone else is here. Come on up, and bring your friends too," said one girl with

light brown hair and blonde highlights.

They all ventured up the stairs (which took a very long time) and into the room the girl was

pointing to.

"Hey! You guys finally arrived. Alexis, you are so tardy, you know that," said Kylee, sitting in

Max's lap. Alexis nodded her head with a gentle smile.

"What are we going to do today, and I know it has to do with those Demolition Boys," said

another girl that looked like the other girls twin.

"Oh, and I forgot to introduce you to them, right? Umm... which one is Rena and which one is

Kite... That's what I need to know first," said Alexis, quizzically for not knowing the two twins

apart.

"I'm Kite," said one with a pink top and blue jeans on.

"And I'm Rena," said the other with a blue top and blue jeans.

"That's Ray, Sakuya and Kai," said Alexis.

"Oh, so you're Kai. We've heard a lot about you just now," said Rena, swinging in front of him, as

he had himself braced against the wall, with his arms folded and eyes closed.

"Just as described too," giggled Kite.

"We're bound to run into some Demolition's by the end of the day, so let's make this quick," said

Michaela. Alexis' stomach grumbled.

"Sorry, we had to rush out of the house. Can we get something to eat first?" asked Alexis.

"You're now sounding like Tyson. We left him in Japan," said Kai, in annoyance.

"Well sorry for being hungry," said Alexis.

"Come on Kai. I'm a little hungry too. And if we are expected to run all day, we're going to have

to get a full stomach to last the rest of the morning," said Ray.

"Fine," replied Kai, briefly.

After getting a filling breakfast they got the BladeBreaker headset walkie-talkies and ran around

town. Alexis, Kai, Michaela, and Kyle went together. Max, Kylee, Jason, and Christy went in

another group, and Mark, Ray, Katie, Kite and Rena in the last one.

"Kai to Ray, what's going on so far?" said Kai into the headset.

"Fighting off some Demolition Boys. That's all," replied Ray.

"Max, what are you guys up to?"

"Same thing as Ray. They keep asking us where Alexis is, but not like we're going to tell them,"

said Max.

"Okay. Whatever you guys do, try to stay out of as much trouble as possible. We're not going to

bail you out of Chinese Jail!" said Alexis, into her headset. (Which is actually Tyson's because

Sakuya's using her old one)

"They are really strict. Even if we bail them out of jail, they'll probably be dead!" said Sakuya.

"That's true," replied Alexis, punching one of the Demolition Boys.

"Come on! We've got to get somewhere safe for now!" said Kyle.

"I know where they will never find us! Remember the clubhouse that we had when we were kids?

Now is the time to use it!" said Michaela.

"Where is it?" asked Sakuya.

"A couple roof tops from here. We just have to jump roof to roof," said Kyle.

"Are you crazy!?!? Not everyone can do that!!" screamed Sakuya.

"It's that building over there!" said Michaela. Kyle picked up Sakuya in his arms and jumped.

"Whoa. This is kind of fun," said Sakuya.

"That's because you're not doing any work," said Kyle.

"Up ahead!" said Michaela.

In a tall tree was a small wooden tree house. They arrived at the tree house and Kyle put Sakuya

down. Everyone sat down.

"How did we do that when we were kids?" asked Kyle, out of breath.

"Maybe because we were not being chased by Demolition Boys then," said Michaela, resting her

head against Kyle's shoulder.

"Kai, you don't seem out of breath or tired, or showing any sign of ever doing anything

what-so-ever," said Sakuya.

"I guess," muttered Kai.

"Anyways, let's get back to the Demolition Boys. Let's tell everyone to come over here," said

Michaela. Alexis told everyone to meet at the tree house.

"It's been awhile since we've been here. I can't believe I still remember the location," said Kylee.

"Yea. It's almost been a full 3 years. Anyways, back to the problem. They are only going to send

Tala and Voltaire if they spot Alexis alone. We can't risk that though, can we?" said Jason.

Everyone looked at Alexis.

"I'm okay with it," said Alexis, "But firstly, I want to figure out what they are doing. Why are they

chasing me? For all I know, I could have won one million dollars. We have no info on what

exactly they are doing!"

"That's a good point but... huh... someone's outside," said Michaela.

Everyone peaked outside and looked down. There was Tala and Voltaire sitting under a tree,

taking a rest.
