"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The scream echoed through the underground base. Leena woke up and stared tiredly looked around.
"What was that?" An arm grabbed her and made her lay back down again. She sighed and snuggled against her husband. He was partially awake due to the scream also.
"Guess Mark got Bevin up," he said softly before going back to light slumber, closely followed by Leena.

"READY TO GET PULLVERISED!!!!!" Mark yelled confidently into the radio of the Genesis. Bevin was digging one of his fingers in his ear to make sure that it was still working properly. Meanwhile a small energetic red head suddenly popped up behind Bevin's seat of the Shadow Liger.
"Come on cuz!! Don't let my brother talk to you like that!!" She shouted grabbing Bevin by the shoulders and shaking him. Bevin seemed to ignore her, even though she was jerkin at his T-shirt.
"Fawna, it would be impossible for me to beat him if you keep shaking me like that," he said with a monotone voice. His younger cousin, Fawna Tauros was five years younger than him (A/N: making her 14 years old), and Mark's little sister. She was the exact image of her mother, some say that she was her little clone or Mini Me. It seemed that both the Tauros siblings had inherited their mother's carefree personality. Bevin on the other hand, had kept to his word and watched out for all the kids. Losing his carefree personality long ago. His messy blonde hair was in a similar style like his fathers, the only thing that hadn't changed. His violet eyes seemed to be all that's let of his carefree side cause it still held that sparkle when he looked after all the younger kids.
Now, there was another teen that was in the Genesis behind Mark, Jay Hemeros, Jamie's son. Same age as Fawna the two have grown up with each other being almost inseparable. He looked a lot like his father, with his spiky black hair; the only difference was the warm chocolate color eyes he had. Obviously from his mother. "They don't stand a chance!!" Jay exclaimed chuckling, Mark joined in, and no sooner they were both laughing they're heads off. Bevin wanted to shut off the radio because they're laughing was being so annoying.
"Are we going to do this or not?" Bevin grumpily asked, probably cause of his rude awakening.
"Your no fun!!" Mark exclaimed making a pouty face, but then it soon turned into a smirk. "On your mark……get set……..GGGOOOO!!!" The two zoids lurched forward trying to surpass one another. Everything was neck and neck until Bevin noticed a red light flashing on his radar.
"Oh no!!" his eyes widening I realization, he feared this day would come from the beginning of the Calm. He made a mental note that Mark hadn't noticed the red light on his radar. He turned his head at his smaller cousin and looked into her innocent eyes. He knew what he had to do. "Sit down and buckle up!!" he ordered. Surprisingly she did what he said without making a comment. He swung his zoid and rammed it against the Genesis, making it fly in the opposite direction.
"What the hell was that for!?!" Mark shouted angrily at Bevin, but it quickly vanished when he noticed that Bevin jumped away from the spot he was standing. Seconds later it was hit by two missiles. "What the? Jay!! Get in your seat!!"
"Right!!" Jay quickly hopped into the seat behind Mark and buckled up. The two cat-like zoids waited patiently for any other signs for attack. Up in the distance Bevin spotted five command wolves and two lightning siax. The odds were against them. He's a good zoid warrior but he wasn't so sure about Mark.
"Mark we need to retreat!!!" Bevin yelled into the radio hoping to knock some sense into his younger cousin. But alas…
"That's bull shit!!" Mark's voice emitted loudly from the speaker. Bevin groaned at his cousin's stubbornness. "We can take on these wimps!!!" The Genesis took off towards the five zoids, all Bevin could do is get frustrated and run off after the Genesis. Mark smirked and looked behind him at Jay. "Wanna see a little secret weapon my mom showed me?" Jay smiled and nodded his head. Mark flipped up a switch then pressed one of the buttons. Jay could hear compartments opening up and looked out the window. Wings were coming out of two compartments and spreading out.
"WOAH!!!! SO COOL!!!!" Jay exclaimed. While Bevin was in awe, he didn't know that the Genesis could do that. The zoid lifted itself from the ground and soared over the enemy zoids. Missiles shot from the Genesis' legs and hit their targets. After the command wolves tried to shoot down the Genesis it flew down and tackled two of the command wolves. And was currently battling all five of them.
"Not bad," Bevin said watching Mark battle. He let his mind get distracted he soon found himself surrounded by the lightning siax's. Bevin loaded up his ammo and quickly aimed. Of course, when the ground was softened enough, one of the Saix fell flat on it's face, hit with a barrage of cannon fire, and it was out, but the other Saix dashed from behind with a sonic boom, rattling the Shadow Liger, but it wasn't expecting to see the Genesis hit the speeding Zoid head on with missiles.
"Well there went the Lightning Saix!" Mark's cheerful yell came from the Genesis. Followed by Jay's cheer also. Bevin's eye twitched, then she felt two arms hug him by the neck.
"You were so much better than my brother!!" Fawna exclaimed. Bevin smiled softly, and then looked back at the battlefield suddenly realizing something. Mark couldn't have gotten rid all those command wolves, he looked up on the hill and spotted two of them still there and aiming at them. Bevin's eyes closed waiting for them to fire, but then when he heard bullets fire nothing happened.
"You guys get back to the base!!!" he heard the sniper Naomi called out to them. "I'll cover for you!!" The two cat-like zoids ran for the base while the red gun sniper shot at the remaining command wolves.
*****
Bevin walked into the lounge with Fawna on his back piggyback style. He saw his father and Aunt Ashley and Uncle Leon and Brad all sitting around. They all looked up when they noticed when we walked in, obviously things didn't look good. Mark and Jay stumbled into the room even tripping over each other and falling on the ground.
"Why is everyone so gloomy today?" Mark innocently asked. Bit turned on the TV with the remote.
"People!!! Be on your guard!!! The Calm is officially over!!! I repeat!!! The Calm is officially OVER!!!!!" the announcer practically screamed. Bit turned the off button and turned to the others.
"I think it's about time that you know about the war that went on 15 years ago…" All the teens were quiet. And let him continue, "I don't know if you remember Bevin but there was…"
"I remember," Bevin interrupted. "Right before Mark was born a war broke out. It seemed like total chaos, I even remember being captured. I escaped with the Shadow Liger, that's how I got it. But the enemy decided a cease-fire, and then Mark and me were just attacked. Other places were attacked too, indicating that the Calm is over." Bit was impressed that his son could remember something from when he was only three years old.
Mark blinked in shock, "I was born during a war!!!! Why didn't everyone tell me that!?!"
"People tried to forget about the war, it was pretty brutal," Leon explained. "But now we just wanted to warn you kids. You're not aloud to leave the base unless you're with Bevin or one of the adults." Groans came from the four teens but were ignored. "We can't go out unless it's an emergency."
"So basically we're stuck here," Fawna groaned and dug her face into the back of Bevin's neck. Bevin turned his neck so he could see her face properly and smiled softly.
"Hey I had to be stuck here when I was three, it really didn't matter to Mark since he was in diapers."
"HEY!!!" Mark protested to the cruel comment. Fawna giggled, Bevin was glad that he brought a smile to her face. Everyone laughed, although Mark didn't think it was all that funny.

"What are we doing?" Mark asked as he, Jay, and Fawna followed Bevin through the grocery store each pushing a cart full of food. Bevin looked up at him with a confused look. "Living our lives underground for the next thirty years!!! How will we live!?! We'll be lonely for the rest of our lives!!!"
"It's nice to know that you're having a love life crisis, but do us a favor and realize that our lives are at stake. And as for my love life," Jay said with a mischievous smirk he hooked an arm around Fawna. "Me and Fawna could live happily ever after!"
WHAM!!!!! Mark personally punched Jay in the face sending him a few feet backwards. Fawna put her hands over her mouth to cover a gasp. Mark was already in a bad mood and Jay's comment was not the best timing in the world. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY LITTLE SISTER YOU FUGGIN JERK!!!!!" (A/N: *smiles* censored for those younger reviewers out there.)
"Jeez, calm down buddy," Jay said rubbing his now sore cheek, "I was only joking. You know I would never take advantage of your sister." Bevin watched the drama that was folding out in front of him. He sighed and went down the next isle. He looked at the list his mother gave him and looked up and down the isle. He noticed it on the top shelf, and it was only a few left. He couldn't reach it.
Bevin made sure no one was looking; a man needs their Ho-Ho's. Relaxing his body and using his mind, the Jumbo box of Ho-ho's floated into his hands. Tossing them in the basket he didn't realize a set of violet eyes watching him. Bevin went back to the bickering teenagers, and herded them towards the cashier.

Beep! Beep! Zzaaapp!! Boom! Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Ha! I win again!!!" Fawna's triumphant voice shouted out. While the two other boys hung their heads in defeat. The three of them were sitting in the Lounge playing video games since that was the only thing to do around there. Suddenly the door opened and Bevin came into the room carrying a 3-year-old girl. Fawna got up from her video gaming spot and walked over to Bevin.
"Hiya Fawnie!" The little child said in Bevin's arms. The small girl had light brown hair, with red tips on the ends, her bright pink eyes were like her mother's (A/N: Alright, alright….*giggles* she's Naomi's and Brad's daughter) She was dressed in a cute denim jacket and khaki capris. Fawna and Bevin both smiled at her.
"Did you have a nice nap?" Fawna asked. The girl smiled and nodded. Bevin handed her to Fawna and walked over to the boys. "So did Eriya any pretty dreams?" Fawna asked while watching the boys play.
"Yeah!! You were in it and so was Bevin!!! We went on a picnic!!!" Eriya said happily.
Fawna smiled, "That's good!" She lowered her voice so that the child couldn't hear her, "Hopefully we can get through this together." She looked at the three older boys sitting in front of her wondering what they were thinking about the situation.
