April: heya ne0n-chan!!!!!!!!!!! What will be up 2dai???? ^______^
Neon: part 2 what else!!!!!!! ^^
Saber: but first things first… we would like to clarify somethings in the fic.. oki? X3 *goes on with his clear deep voice*
NOTE! italics = thoughts; [] = signlanguage.. X3 *you guys will know why soon*; Topsword Blackwaters = Saber Rider
Neon: Why Topsword? You may wonder.. hehe. I had always thought that Saber Rider was his code name.. X3 and that Colt kept calling him "Topsword" so I thought why not make that his first name instead?? X3 *Saber sighs*
*I just added some surnames for the other characters.. since they dun have one.. X3 after all, its fanfiction.. XP
April: And special thanks to!!

Claudia6 = thanks for your kind comments… I really appreciated them!! ^^
Saber: now can we actually go with the story????
Neon: here's Part Two of "To Find The Voice Within You!" Enjoy!!
*~*~*~*~*
To Find the Voice Within You
Part Two: Saber Rider?
"Given the fact that X is equal to Y plus Z, solve the following equations." The instructress dictated as she paced back and forth inside the classroom a few hours later. Topsword just absentmindedly watched the digital clock changed its minute digit.
Why can't I get over her? Why can't she get out of my head? He sighed as his hands held the pink handkerchief. Then as the instructress were typing the said equations down, an Instant Messenger appeared on the screen of his laptop, finally obtaining his hard-to-get attention. His right hand then used the mouse, nonchalantly clicking the said window. There, he finally found out that the message was from both Colt and Fireball.
"Topsword, meet Colt Colorado. Colt, meet Topsword Blackwaters, Captain of our group." Fireball introduced.
"Howdy, Capt!" Colt replied.
"Hey, nice meeting you, Colt.." Topsword managed to reply, obviously not in the heart to engage in the said conversation.
"Hmm, what are your plans tonight? After all, it's free dinner.." Fireball pointed out.
"Meaning we can eat outside!" Colt answered Topsword's unasked inquiry. "Hey, we do need to celebrate your captainship right?"
"Oh." Topsword then played a smile on his lips. "Any suggestions?"
"Pizzas would be fine.." Fireball suggested. "There had been a new pizza place just outside the Cavalry."
"Ok." Topsword did not like have this conversation lengthened anymore. "That's settled then. 7pm tonight."
"Ahem."
Then the three pairs of eyes looked up from their respective laptops to see the instructress not pleased. She obviously caught them talking behind her.
"So, shall we continue now, gentlemen?"
*~*~*~*~*
"Mistress April? Are you done?" Keleena asked before entering April's room on the corner of the Cavalry Command building Ziggurat. As response, she opened the door to reveal herself in her casuals, a white Capri pants and a sleeveless pink shirt. Keleena then crossed her arms as April wore her glasses. "Now, what are you up to? After the mess, you did at the Library and the Ramrod office.. you're going out again?!"
April smiled. [Don't worry much, Keleena. I just want to try out these new outfits Dad gave me a week ago..]
"What if your dad found out about her doings.."
[He won't. As long you and I will keep this a secret.]
Keleena sighed as she let April sit down in front of the mirror. Subsequently, she picked up a brush and began fixing her hair into braids. [Thanks, Keleena.]
"Well.. as long as HE doesn't find out.." Keleena muttered, hoping that they would not be found out. Then April turned around to face her.
[Keleena.. there's this new pizza place outside the Cavalry that I wanna try out tonight. Could you accompany me?]
*~*~*~*~*
"Cheers!" Topsword, Fireball, and Colt chorused as they clinked their glasses that night at Pizza Palazio, the place they had agreed upon earlier.
"Ahh.." Colt sighed, putting down his rootbeer glass. "This is THE life! Thanks, Tops!"
"It's nothing.." Topsword looked down at his half-empty cup as Fireball and Colt carried on the conversation. Just as he went to look at the doorway, two ladies entered – Keleena and April, dressed in their casuals. What the… it's her… Topsword recalled as his eyes stayed glued upon April as the two ladies settled on a table three tables from their right. Is she the one..? The one from my dream?
*~*~*~*~*
"Mistress?" Keleena asked as her eyes scanned the menu she was holding. April instantly tapped the menu as she showed her her Palm VIX cellphone after she wrote her message in.
[Don't call me, Mistress. Nor April. Nor Mistress April. I don't want to be found out lurking on civilian places.] Keleena nodded in agreement as April retreated back to her seat.
"Now what would you like to order?" April started scribbling and showed it to her again afterwards.
[Well.. A slice of Pepperoni's, I guess. And an ice tea too."]
Keleena smiled. "Alright." She motioned for the waitress to attend them. " We would like to order for two slices of Pepperoni's and two regular sized ice teas, and a spaghetti and meatballs. Thank you." She then returned the menu back to the waitress. Then, she whispered. "Ey.. remember the guy whom you bumped with earlier? He's cute."
April wrote. [Really? Didn't take a second look at him. Not interested by the way.] Then their orders were served. Keleena replied.
"Well, this would surely piqued your interest. Heard that he's the newly inaugurated captain of the Star Sheriffs team." Keleena then ate her slice. Shocked, April dropped her phone on the floor. Keleena stopped eating.
"Huh? Is something wrong?" Keleena asked as April shook her head. She then silently picked up her phone.
Why, Dad? Why? Am I not good enough?
*~*~*~*~*
"Tops? Are you still with us?" Fireball asked as he took another sip from his ice tea, obviously eyeing Topsword's actions for already thirty minutes.
"Uh… what were you guys saying?" Topsword asked absentmindedly, obviously caught off guard in watching the two ladies.
"Oh, we were just asking you if it's ok to head back at the Cavalry after you pay the bill… like ten minutes ago." Colt replied with a hint of sarcasm.
"Well…" He then noticed the bill on his left. Quickly, he pulled out the exact money and placed it on the bill. He handed it to the waitress beside him, noticing the two ladies leaving the place. "So, shall we?"
*~*~*~*~*
"Target April Eagle affirmed. Ready to battle." The device announced as the golden brown eyes focused on the two ladies leaving the place. Her rose colored lips played a devious smile. "You'll be mine. You'll be mine."
*~*~*~*~*
"Waii! The food was great!" Keleena squealed as she stretched, walking beside April on the sidewalk towards the Cavalry. April sign languaged in reply.
[Glad you liked it.] April smiled.
Keleena pouted. "But you didn't finish yours! How can you be glad?" April blushed.
[Sorry.] Suddenly, a group of men was in front of them. They froze in their tracks.
"What the..?" Keleena muttered as she looked back for a possibility to escape. However, she was a step too late. They were already surrounded. In one quick movement, they managed to grab Keleena away from April, holding her captive.
Keleena! Then, the group transformed into Night Ryders. I will save you.
*~*~*~*~*
"Definitely so good. We should come back there next time." Colt remarked as the three men walked the same sidewalk towards the Cavalry. Suddenly, a scream was heard.
"HELP! PLEASE! ANYONE!!" Immediately, the trio ran towards the source.
*~*~*~*~*
"Watch out!" Keleena shouted as she was held captive by one of the Night Ryders. April evaded the attacks unleashed by her enemies and counterattacked one of them. She did a reversal kick just as one of them attacked from her back. Then, she backflipped, returning to her fighting stance once more.
I wonder if I could hold this any longer. April thought, catching her breath. Suddenly, one of them attacked her with a high kick on the arm, causing her to fall on the ground. Then, he followed it with a crucial punch on the stomach.
That's it. I'm doomed. April thought, struggling in pain.
"HEEYAH!" Then, April forced her eyes open to see the source of the voice.
"Who are you?" She heard Keleena ask.
"I am Saber Rider. We will save you."
*~*~*~*~*
