for actually reviewing! Here's to the next chapter! Make sure to review
some more! ^^
Chapter 2 - Lone Stranger.Almost
The phone had dropped to the floor and the front door had flung open.
A gust of wind; thumping feet against the ground; strong emotion all around.
Anger, that is.
Beat's heart seemed to stop at that moment. He had to get out of there, and fast. He was trying to decide whether to run towards the phone, or jump out the window. He knew it was them. Them.
Breathing hard, he ran as fast as he could to the window, thinking so fast he didn't know what he was thinking anymore. Once he had made that mad dash, he took a spray can and bashed the glass with it. He made the hole large enough so he could fit through and jumped out.
George immediately heard the loud crash and ran towards the door. He kicked it down and saw the shattered glass everywhere. Furious, he ran after him. The Love Shocker stayed there to examine the house for any findings.
The chase was on as Beat boosted to get away from the former Noise Tank. He didn't want to lead him to their HQ, so he tried to just lose him by turning a lot of corners and taking shortcuts.
Unfortunately for Beat, the Noise Tanks knew practically everything he did, so all of the shortcuts and corners weren't helping at all. It seemed like he had been running forever. His breaths were starting to hurt, and he began to ache all over. He had to stop.
Beat turned a corner one last time, and stopped. The Noise Tank sharply turned the corner after him. Just as Beat turned his head, the last thing he saw was gray. Gray filling up all that he could see. The Noise Tank's fist had met his face and he fell to the floor.
As much as he wanted to, and was going to put up a fight, it had all happened so fast. He really screwed up this time.
* * *
"Oh my god!" Gum yelled as she dropped the phone.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
"What's wrong?!" Mew said, as everyone turned to listen.
"Beat's in trouble!"
* * *
Shock Proof's leader, George, searched Beat for any money or any of his objects. He found his wallet. Opening it, he grabbed all of the money that was inside, not even bothering to count it, and made sure Beat would stay unconscious for quite awhile. He kicked him really hard in the head with his front wheel.
He then skated off with his prize.
* * *
"What do you mean he's in trouble?!" Piranha said, raising her voice in worry.
"T-that was him on the phone! He said Shock Proof was after him again.And then he hung up! He was at the abandoned house, but he was probably caught by now." Gum explained.
"Well, lets go find him before its too late!" Corn said.
* * *
Later that day.(proxy. 12:23 p.m.)
Crowds of people throughout Grind City. All gathering in or by shops, browsing restaurants, or out with their families spending quality time together.
Beat opened his eyes. His head ached so bad. He was nauseous and his eyes burned. He closed them again for a minute or two, just lying there on the concrete. Rocks jabbing into his arms wasn't exactly comfortable.
He moved slowly to get up. Then he noticed his wallet wasn't there anymore. He wasn't exactly surprised of course, he had been knocked out by an angry Noise Tank. And who wouldn't steal your wallet if you had stolen money from them? And who wouldn't even if you were a stranger?
Beat was disappointed.
Disappointed in himself.
He let them win. He should've been WAY more aware of what would happen. He let his gang down. But he wouldn't give up. Definitely wouldn't give up.
He struggled to get up on his feet, his head still bursting with pain. He felt like such a loser, and once the rest of the gang found out what happened, he would be so humiliated. He could just picture their reactions.
Why didn't you put up that fight like you were going to? Why didn't you keep running?
Why?
Why?
Why???
Somehow, he just couldn't answer that.
* * *
"Oh I sure hope Beat's okay." Gum said.
"I'm sure he is. Don't worry." Corn answered.
They were skating around in Shibuya-cho searching. They were the only ones who were searching because they wanted the others to guard the garage incase one of Shock Proof's members found it. They had been searching for hours just in Shibuya so far, hoping to find Beat safe.
"Where is he already?" Gum whined, getting frustrated.
Corn sighed.
* * *
In Grind City - an apartment area. (proxy. 4:39 p.m.)
"Hey Mom, I'm going out. Be back around ten tonight."
"Okay honey!"
The teen groaned, "Aye, will you stop with the 'honey' junk!"
The 17 year old strolled out of the apartment building and out towards the chaotic streets. Still crowds of people in the shops, still crowds of people running around.
He took in a breath of fresh air. For some reason he loved to take walks. I guess it was just a comfort thing. He had a few friends, but many didn't really notice him for he came around Grind City's main area at about the same time everyday - when there were bigger crowds.
His friends liked to call him Blaze, though his real name was Chris Hidekoni. His favorite thing to do was skateboarding. Blaze wore baggy dark blue jeans, a green shirt with orange-yellow flames with a darker green long sleeved shirt underneath. He wore some designer sunglasses everyday and a set of jumbo headphones for his portable, non-skip, CD player that was a wristwatch. (The CD's were tiny to fit in the wristwatch *futuristic* XD)
Blaze strolled along, his red-brown hair swaying slightly in the wind of the crowd. Looking ahead, the only thing he could see was blurs of people, streaming with colors. He squinted across the land.
"Hey! Blaze!" a voice called out.
He turned to face the direction of the voice. He couldn't possibly tell who it was with all of the people. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder and whipped him around.
"I'm right here silly!" .His friend Mandi.
Mandi wore khaki capris, a purple tank top with black accents, black and purple knee-high socks, black gloves, an her shoulder length dirty blonde hair was in little spiky pigtails. She had a few silver barrettes here and there, and purple streaks in her hair (*rhymes* X3).
"Yo, Mandi, what's up?" Blaze replied.
"Oh, you know, just the usual," Mandi said, "but I did hear about a new graffiti gang.I think they're called Shock Proof or something."
"Are you serious? Geez, they're comin' out the woodwork!" Blaze said.
"Tell me about it." Mandi said, slightly giggling.
* * *
"This is hopeless." Gum sighed, "he's gotta be safe anyway."
"Well what if they killed him?" Corn asked.
"Don't say that! Think positively! Let's just head back to the garage." Gum said.
"What about searching Grind City?" Corn reminded Gum.
"If he's there, someone's bound to find him, I mean, this is about the 'crowd' time you know." Gum said glancing down at her watch.
"Yeah, I guess you're right.lets head back."
* * *
Beat wandered around Grind City. He glanced up at the clouds in deep thought. He wasn't looking where he was going, but 'oh well,' he thought, 'if someone saw me, they would know to get out of the way, right?'
Bang.
Wrong.
Beat had ran into someone.and almost fell over, too!
"Hey look where you're going!" a female voice yelled.
"It's okay, Mandi, just calm down, I bet he didn't mean to," The teen identified as Blaze said, "I'm Blaze, nice to meet ya." He extended his hand to Beat.
Shocked, Beat replied, "Uh.hey, I'm Beat."
Blaze stared at the other teen when something hit him.wait.could that be his long lost brother?!
".Michael?!"
