Chapter 3
Morning
At the Bladebreakers house the teams were sitting around and eating their breakfast. Tyson comes running down the stairs, flies right into the wall. Everyone starts laughing, their heads off.
"Good morning, everyone!" Rei said, walking in to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Rei!" everyone said.
Rei sits down in his chair and pours himself some cereal.
"Guys?" Kevin asked.
Everyone looks up to Kevin.
"Kevin, what's wrong?" Mariah asked.
"I was just wondering! What happened to kai, anyways? I mean after he got sucked in that hole!" Kevin said.
Everyone looked down at the plates, in quilt
"I have forgotten about, kai!" Tala said.
"Tala, we all forgotten him!" Emily said.
"Well, I didn't! How can you forget kai? Specially the Bladebreakers! Kai was our leader and you guys forget about him! What kind friends or team- mates are you? Let me tell you something, I haven't forgot about my leader! I have a feeling that kai is safe and that we'll meet him some day again!" Rei said, while getting up and leaving.
Across town.
The streets glisten, hissing with sporadic morning traffic. The mouth of a narrow alley lined with trash containers and fire escapes. From a recessed doorway, two filthy legs sprawl out onto the wet pavement. An angry, inarticulate rises occasionally above the rain sounds. The derelict rouses from his bitter stupor as a brilliant purple glare lights up the wet brickwork around him. Kai was jumping from buildings to buildings. But stopped when he saw something in an alley, so he and his friends decided to investigate. He and his friends jumped in the alley, only to be companied by a beggar. The figure slumps, motionless. Kai quickly checks for signs of life. The man is dead. Kai descend to the alley floor and crosses to the drunk huddled in the doorway. A pair of flamboyantly dressed women, obviously working girls, passes by the alley mouth. They do a double take when they see kai, but walk on without breaking stride, completely jaded. He's certainly not a potential customer. Kai crouches down as if to speak to the drunk.
"Say, buddy...did you see some sort of creature jumping by and landing here?" Derelict asked.
A brilliant white glare stabs into the alley mouth as a laprd cruiser glides slowly by on the street. The searchlight illuminates the figure of Kai, crouching over the sprawled drunk. The cruiser chirps to a stop. The doors fly open and two cops leap out.
"Hold it, right there!" the first cop said.
Kai picks up his sword and bolt like a shot. The cops draw their guns and race into the alley after him. Rushing with Kai along the narrow alley. He vaults a pile of tumbled trashcans. Whips around a corner. Leaps the hood of a parked car in the cross alley. As he hits a chain link gate at a dead run and scrambles over it. Whip pan on cops, skidding to a stop at the corner in time to see Kai vault the fence. They separate. Dolly the second cop runs to the gate. 1 Low panaglide with kai, running full tilts, displaying incredible agility. Kai runs down the alley walls blur by. The view of a hotwired rat in an urban maze. Hugging him as he sprints and turns, alternately front-lit, side-lit and silhouetted as the electric glare of the city wheels about him. Kai flashes though intermittent cross lighting in the B.G. Another unit arrives out front and kai melts back into the alley, only to see a cop round the corner behind him. Sandwiched. Kai crashes into a steel door, rending the lock, and vanishes into the darkness within. The newly arrived cops are a K-9 unit. They open the back door of the squad car to release a large black Doberman. Kai finds himself among the display racks of a discount department store. A searchlight stabs in the front window as he dashes into the maze of aisles. Three cops enter behind him through the shattered door. As he crab-runs low among the moving shadows where flashlights quarter the darkness. He bolts the open space behind a display window. Sees the outside searchlight sweep toward him. Freezes. His feral face frozen among the smooth featured, smiling mannequins. As the light passes, kai silently moves on. Passing the end of a long aisle B.G.
At the Bladebreakers house.
All the teams are at the Bladebreakers house, playing games! While Rei was sitting beside the window starring out at it. The others are, watching him with worry and Mariah gets up and walks over to Rei.
"Rei?" Mariah asked.
"What?" Rei said.
"What's wrong?" Mariah asked again.
"Nothing! Now go away!" Rei said.
"Okay bye Rei!" Mariah said, before walking back to the group.
