Chapter 9

Two New Friends, And Their Story Line

Tremor was running straight to the H section. Then he spotted Yen. He ran up to him.

Hey, Yen. Tremor put his hand on his shoulder. He turned around, but he wasn't Yen.

I'm sorry! Your not the person I was looking for, but how....... where did you get your hair done to be blue? asked Tremor.

My name is Hun. His hair was blue and split in the front, in the back was a short ponytail just like Yen. He looked like Yen except he had a little hair in the front, it was long, it was up to his knee, but the voice was different. His voice didn't sound like Yen's, Yen's voice sound like a smart kid and his voice is like a person being fresh, but the only thing different is he's smart. The kid was wearing a Kimono. It was black with flames on the bottom. In the back was a Japanese symbol. I wasn't sure what it said, but I'm sure it intend something. Tremor thought.

I was born with blue hair. And may I ask what's your name? says Hun.

My name is Tremor. What in the name of the world does that say!? says Tremor pointing at the symbol that was in the back.

Oh that! Hun chucked. That says Warrior. I want to grow up as a warrior. That's why I have this sword on my right side of my waist, to you it's looks like its on the left. Hun pulled out his sword. The sword was shining like the sun. It half blind me, it was the color red like the color red of fire. Hun put the sword in the front of his face like he was going to cut himself in half.

I want to go on a adventure someday, whether it's dangerous or not. I just want to prove I can be a warrior. Then Hun put his sword down on his side. That's why I'm not in Japan my homeland, it's because, I have to prove to the school that I can become a warrior. My mission is I have to find an adventure or go on an adventure that's treacherous, if somebody else is having an adventure, I have to join them to whatever their adventure is. says Hun.

Hun put his sword away. Nice meeting you. Hun gave Tremor a quick handshake and walked past Tremor.

Wait! Hun stopped in his footsteps. Here's my phone number. Tremor took out a pad and a pen from his black jeans right pocket. He wrote his phone number, name, and his address. He wrote:

Name: Tremor Phone Number: 485-7980 Address: 249 Pine street

on the pad. He ripped the paper from his pad and handed the paper to Hun.

Come over to my house tonight. At 10:00 P.M. Since today is Saturday, I get to stay up as long as I want, and since your spending the night, you can come with me to church................. tomorrow.......... Ah! Don't worry about it! I'll talk to you about some things at my house. Just come at that time.

Tremor turned away from Hun without saying goodbye and ran off. Hun smirked and held on tight to the paper that Tremor gave him. Hun walked away in the opposite way where Tremor wasn't running. Hun walked to the right and Tremor ran to the left. Tremor ran fast again except he wasn't paying attention where he was going. He was busy thinking about Hun. Is Hun really from Japan? He looks like a warrior already. He seemed he understood English. Why is that? Did he study English before he came here, or did he just learned that five minutes ago? Tremor thought to himself. Tremor kept running and he didn't realize he ran past Yen. Tremor was still thinking about Hun. Then he bumped into a table. He hit it and flipped to the other side of the table.

Ouch!! That hurt! I should have been paying attention to where I was going and stop thinking about Hun. I still wonder though...... says Tremor.

Tremor stood up and leaned on the table.

Huh? Tremor wasn't leaning on the table. He looked at the table. He was leaning on a book. It said ''All About Cyframes'', Tremor stared at it. Hmmmmm........ Tremor picked it up examining it. Hmmmm...... Should I get this book to? Tremor thought. Yeah! I'll take it. says Tremor.

Tremor put the book under his arm. Then he heard someone behind him. Hey! That's my book! The person behind him ran up to him. Tremor turned and looked at him. He was wearing torn clothes like he got beat up. The sleeves was torn and right side of his pants was torn. He was wearing black clothes. He had a headband around his head that said, Trime. His right arm had a gold bracelet shaped like a snake. It covered his whole arm. On his left arm, he had two sharp metal things. It looked like two Frisbee, but very sharp. It was metal and shining when the light hit it. His hair was facing to his right side, his hair was the color brown mixed with orange. He looked liked a bully, I think I should run before something happens I thought.

Hey! What do you think your doing?! says ???.

I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your book. Tremor handed back the book to the kid.

Hmph! The kid groaned. You seem like your lost........... by the way........ my name is Ching(Ch-ing).

My name is Tremor.

Nice to meet you Tremor. They shook hands.

I'm sorry if I scared you, by the way, if you think I'm a bully your wrong, says Ching.

I'm sorry for thinking you was a bully. I guess I judged you by looking at you before I got to know you. says Tremor.

Ching smirked. I see you learn from your mistakes and I guess you don't do the same mistakes once you learn from them. replied Ching.

Yeah, you can say that. Tremor looked at the book that was in Ching hand.

I need that book for a reason. It's very important. I'll explain why I need it. Tremor explained what happened and about Surka.

I see......... I guess your really in trouble.......... says Ching.

Yeah......... says Tremor.

I might be able to help you........... I know how to use this Cyframe very well. I always wanted to use it in battle. I never got to, the thing I did with this was train with it and study more about it in that book. This Cyframe saved me when I almost got killed. It was when me and my............ best friend...... (tears started appearing on Ching's face)went to the drug store(Drop's) to buy some candy and get his medicine. Then this robber with a gun robbed the store, he saw us near the chips hiding behind it. He pointed the gun to the both of us. The robber said, "I'm going to kill you". He wanted to shoot me, but my best friend wanted to protect me from harm. I just stood there in that same spot in shock without moving or evening speaking. I just....... stood there like a dummy........ and let my best friend....... get killed........ Now that he's dead........ I keep thinking to myself, I should have pushed him out the way and......... let me get killed instead of him......... but it's a little to late for that isn't it? The Cyframe was on my back....... I was stupid to forget about the Cyframe that was on my back....... When my best friend got shoot. I got really mad. The robber just pointed the gun at me next. I yelled in rage and ran towards him. I ran close enough to punch him. I went behind him and jumped backwards. I threw my Cyframe. It spanned towards him. It........ killed him instantly........ by cutting him.......... in half......... I really got in trouble for that one, but I couldn't help it...... I had to do something. He hurt my best friend, I killed him for that or so I thought my best friend was only hurt..... Blood was all over the floor. I just ran where my best friend was without even looking at the robber's blood. I looked at my friend........ just staring at him. Then I finally got back to my senses and at last called for help. The manager behind the counter was shock at first to what I did to the robber, but he got back to his senses when I yelled for help. The police and Ambulance came in 5 minutes. The Ambulance came in first with a sketcher. They was really shock to see the robber cut in half, but they just ran past him and went to help my best friend that might be still alive. They quickly put him on the sketcher and carefully put him inside the Ambulance truck. I was right behind them, until my mom stopped me. She gave me a hug and cried her eyes out and was happy that I wasn't hurt, but my best friend mother wasn't happy. She was already at the hospital with my best friend or her son I should say. My mom and me got there as soon as possible. I was in the room before the nurse could stop me from coming inside. I was happy my best friend was still alive and he said, "Leave nurse....... he can stay......... don't worry he's my......... best friend......." The nurse gave me a quick stare and left the room closing the door behind her. My best friend sounded very weak, and his voice was softer then he normally talks. He lost a lot of blood, and he looked liked he got skinner. He spoke again, "My best friend Ching....... Where would I be....... without you.......... besides here at the hospital........" Me and him laughed, until he coughed. When he coughed, blood spilled out his mouth. When he finished coughing he said, "I'm going to....... die......." I said, "No! No you're not....... You're going to make it......... just...... have a little more faith......... Believe me......... you'll make it." I held his hand and did our handshake that we made up a long time ago. He smirked and said, "I am going to die....... I can tell...... Well....... if I do....... I want you to forgive me for acting foolish getting in the way and getting shot. I just......... I just don't want you to blame yourself for my mistake........." I smirked and said, "No....... don't blame yourself....... I'm the one that should have moved instead of standing there and we both be safe, and none of us would be........... be in this mess." He was about to cry, but he didn't. He looked at me very happily and proud, and said, "Well..... I guess we can't blame nobody. Ching...... I want you to promise me........ not to run after the big boss that is above the robber that sent him to rob the drug store." I didn't say nothing. He chucked and smirked, then he said, "I guess you're going to go after the big boss anyway........... Well......... the only thing I can say is good luck........... and be careful, and here is this headband........ I got it on my birthday last week......... I want you to have it.......... He pulled it out it from under the pillow, but before he gave it to me, he gave me a piece of paper that was folded. I didn't read it yet. My best friend said, "The robber dropped it when you......... cut him ....... in........ half......... Maybe it's a clue............ to the big boss........... or where he was going to strike.......... next.......... or something even better"......... "Something even better? You mean..... like treasure!" I exclaimed. We both laughed a little. Then all of a sudden, he started coughing even harder then he did before. The heart rate (I think that's what it is) the line went up and down fast then it slowed down, then........ it........ went........ flat.... His fist ungripped and he dropped the headband. Then I realized he was dead........ I ran out the hospital as fast as I can. It was raining hard, but I didn't care. I ran to the nearest bench (which was at the park). I sat there thinking , then I remembered what my best friend said (flashback), "I just..... I just don't want you to blame yourself for the mistake I made........." I realized he was a great best friend. I thought to myself, "I bet nobody in this world would have protected their best friend with their own life from danger. I'll always remember you....... my best friend........ I'll never replace you with another best friend......... or anybody, anything........ nothing........ and that's a promise. "Then I realized I didn't grab the headband, I only took the paper that was folded. So, I ran back to the hospital as fast as I can back to the room where my best friend was at, but this time, he was covered with a white sheet over his body. The nurse was in the room. "You can't be in here! You must leave now!" I ignored the nurse and walked beside the bed and picked up the headband that was on the floor. I stared at the nurse with angry eyes, burning like fire. "You think I should leave the room where my best friend died!? What you want me to do next!? Forget about him!? I don't think so! He's my best friend and he's a brave, good hearted, strong, and the best person I've ever knew! And you know what, that robber that killed him, I'll take down his whole crew with him! Including his boss! And if anybody gets in my way, I'll kill them!" The nurse gave me a evil smirk and laughed. "Oh really! Well guess what little boy?! I'm one of them! And I think you have something that belongs to us! Hand over the paper!" The nurse clothes changed into a long dark orange skirt and light blue shirt. Her hair changed from black to green. Her eyes became a little smaller then before. Her skin changed from white to purple. "No! I'll never forgive you for what your crew has done to my best friend. I'll kill you just like that robber!" She smirked and said, "I'm not weak like him. Our boss was very impressed how fast you was going when you cut him in half. Your power was high, and speed was incredible. Our boss wants to know if you'll join us. He said you'll be the best out of us all, and be famous, rich, movie star and so on. Of course you're probably wondering how we know. Well, each of us has a small camera on our jacket or clothes and we're forced to wear our clothes with the camera on, so our boss can see what's going on. Anyway, your very special to us, join us. If it's no, I'll kill you. If yes, you made the right choice." "How dare you ask me to join you! I'll never! Not after what you did to my friend!!" I ran towards her with my Cyframe on both my arms about to cut her in half. Then this light came from her hand and became in the shape of a sword. She blocked real quick and tried to hit me back, I dodged. I jumped to the ceiling and threw one at her. She smacked it with her sword back at me. I grabbed it, but this time I threw them both at her going in two different directions, one going left and other right. They both flew past her. ''You missed little boy!'' That's what she thinks! A red light blanks on my arms where the Cyframe suppose to be at. She says to herself "Wait...... why is that blinking? It can't be!" She turns around quick and realized it was coming back. She dodged quick, she was very close to being cut in half. She grinned. "You little brat!'" She ran towards me and almost hit me, I blocked it with my Cyframe. We kept hitting each other and blocking. I missed one punch that I didn't block and she hit me hard in the face. I fell back and hit a earthenware that was on a small wooden table. She ran towards me and said, "Well, It's time to finish this. Her sword got brighter, She was just about to cut me in half. Unit I quickly blocked it and used all my strength that I had left to survive her final blow. I pushed harder, and somehow my powers risen up higher and higher. I pushed her and threw my blade once more and it went zooming past her. She knew it would come back, but she dodged it. Instead of coming back to me, I controlled the blade to keep attacking her. It came back and forth, but she kept dodging it. Then I tricked her into thinking it go right and then left, but I quickly let it turn around. I got her, but it only gave her a deep wound in the stomach. Blood spattered on the wall and floor. She was holding her stomach with her left hand, with the sword in her right. "Your lucky I didn't cut you completely in half! I won't miss this time." "I will not....... lose........ to a......... BRAT!!!!" She charged at me, but she was a little slower then before. I dodged like it was nothing. I hit her in the back with my elbow. She fell face on the floor. "Your crew decided to attack us and kill my best friend. I understand you wanted to rob the store, but the real question is, why me and my best friend? We had nothing to do with the robbery. So, answer my question. Why us?" She turned around slowly and said, "It's because our boss hated his father. Our boss knew him in Pine High School. They were friends then, but then something happened and his father abandoned him and betrayed him. Our boss was almost killed because of him. So our boss swore he would get his revenge. The real reason was to kidnap you and erase some memory and replace it with another memory so you can be on our side, but I guess it didn't work out the way we planned. So, now I have to kill you because you know to much and also your a witness. We wanted you on our side because we saw you training. The robber was suppose to test you with the gun, but you was to scared to move, your best friend got in the way. We thought you was going to dodge it easily, but you was to scared." She did a little smirk. "Your best friend was stupid to get hit by the bullet." Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I got madder then a bull. "How dare you call him stupid!!! Your a idiot, and you want to know how?! Because your gonna die by me!!" I was just about to do my final blow until we heard footsteps in the hall coming towards this room. "We'll meet again Ching!" She ran towards the window and opened it and jumped out the window. "Oh no you don't! Your not getting away from me!" I jumped out the window after her. I saw her on the small roof at the bottom. She jumped off and ran towards the forest. I landed on the small roof and ran towards the forest chasing after her. I ran faster and faster trying to catch up to her. I saw the bottom of her skirt. Then up ahead I saw a, tree, growing mango. When she ran past it, I jumped up and grabbed a couple of them. I started throwing them at her, one by one. I got her, but it didn't slow her down. Then I had a idea, I jumped and threw three on the ground. She kept running thinking I can't catch up to her and kill her, but she was wrong. She slipped on the mangos and hit a tree. I stood in front of her and said, "Now, it's time for you to die, pray or whatever your gonna do, because I'm going to cut you into pieces and vultures will eat your flesh." She got on her knees and begged me not to kill her. "Please spare me! I'll...... I'll pay you, I'll make you famous, and I'll do whatever you want. Just don't kill me!" "Whatever I want you say?" She nodes her head. "Okay........ Can you bring my best friend back to life?" She gets real nervous and says, "No......." "I thought not. I thought you paid whatever I want. Well, I guess it's not whatever I want. I guess it's only some things that anybody could have. To bad........ I guess your out of luck and also you have a death wish coming, but if I know your name I might let you live. I guess not, all well." "Wait! I'll tell you my name! My name is Lily." "Lily? Like a purple flower? Tell me who you work for, or I'll kill you!" "You don't have to rush me! I work for........" Then this arrow hit her in the heart from I don't know where. Then this beam came from the same direction. I dodged it, but Lily didn't. I turned around and said, "Who's there!?" Ha Ha Ha Ha! I looked up in a tree where the laughing came from. Then the person jumped out the dark tree and landed in front of it. I couldn't really see his face, only his clothes. He had on one of those army suits on. If you look harder in the darkness at his face, his eyes somehow glow. They glow like if he's going to suck your soul out of you. His eyes make that evil look. He seemed like a strong guy, who don't go easy on you in battle or feel pity for anyone, in other words don't care about anybody. "Lily talks to much. We knew she was going to give in to easily. That's why I was ordered to follow her, just in case. You're the first person to ever beat her. A kid like you should of been easy to beat, but you was a tough one, and had a lot a guts to not give up. And chasing after her was the amazing thing. People like you would have given up and find her next time. That's how most of her enemies got killed. I felt your power rising when you fought in the hospital. How did you do that? And how did you get so strong?" "I don't care what your saying right now! My goal is to kill your whole crew! That includes you! It's my revenge for what you did to my best friend! Your crew killed him, I kill your crew! It's just that simple!" He laughed, his laughing sounded deep and rough. When he talked, his voice sounded high and gentle, but then it gets deep and rough somehow. "You think you can beat me? Your strength is not even close to mine! Besides, your low on energy right now. So how are you going to kill me with such little strength? Ha Ha Ha Ha!" I grinned and said, "SHUT UP!!! I can kill you just like I did to Lily and that robber! You'll be just as easy!" I got into my fighting stance. He laughed and said, "You got a lot of guts to say such stupid things. If only you was on our side........ I would train you like you was my own son......... If I even had my own son! Ha Ha Ha Ha!" "SHUT UP!!!!" I charged towards him at full speed, but he ran to his left, He ran real fast. I know he runs faster then a jaguar and a tiger put together, amazing.........." "I guess your to slow for me. My name is Mtoyuju. I'm going to let you decide again........ You join or not?" Ching grinned. Like I said before, I will not join you or your group. Not after what you did to my best friend. Mtoyuju smirked in the shadow of the tree. Mtoyuju sighed. "Fine then...... I guess you just die." Mtoyuju ran towards me, he ran so fast that I saw nothing but black from his shadow. He hit me with his elbow on the back of my neck. I fell and got back up. I flipped back to a tree and threw my Cyframe at him. It flew towards him, but he dodged it easily. Even though he dodged it, it came back and he didn't even know it or so I thought. He turned around at the last moment and hit the Cyframe with his right hand. It fell, but then it flew back to me on the Cyframe that was on my arm(like a magnet). "I guess your Cyframe didn't help huh? I know what will help you though............. my fist!" " Ahh..... I think it's time for me to split!" I ran as fast as I could, but Mtoyuju was faster then me. He caught me again, but this time he hit me harder then before. He hit me on my back with his foot. I hit a tree up ahead and knocked down three trees. I fell on the grass, I left a mark on the tree. I laid still on the ground. Mtoyuju walked towards me. " What happen? I thought you was going to kill me. I guess it's the opposite." He jumped in a tree and blast a beam at me. With my little energy, I jumped back and hide behind a tree. The beam hit the ground and made smoke. " Well, I guess that's the end of him. It's really to bad though......... because he was such a good fighter for a youngster. With a good Cyframe, to bad I had no choice but to kill him if he disagreed with joining us......... It's a real shame......" Mtoyuju jumped out of the tree and ran off. I was still behind the tree, but then I fainted. I awaked five hours later. I went to a nearby waterfall and drink the water. I felt much better, after that quick drink I left to go home. As you can see I'm here now with you Tremor. I just told you the whole story of me and my best friend.

Tremor looked down at his feet feeling sad for Ching. Then he said, " Ching don't feel so low. I'm really sorry for asking you about your best friend in the first place. Maybe you can go on my adventure with me and my friends."

Ching looked at Tremor, " Tremor....... I really don't know what to say........ I'll go, but I'm not going to have anymore friends. You get it?"

Tremor nodded his head to let him know. Then Tremor heard Yen behind him running. They turned around to Yen and they see him out of breath.

" Tremor what are you doing!? We have to get back to Dan before he faints or before somebody sees him."

Yen then turned and saw Ching.

" Who are you?"

" My name is Ching."

"Yea! Yen he is going to adventure with us to fight Surka! He even has a Cyframe and used it before in battle!.......... In a tragic way though.........."

" You can explain to me about Ching later Tremor, but we need to get to Dan! I found the healing book already, so lets get moving!"

They ran where Dan was, but when they got there........... He was missing...........

LOVE IT OR WHAT!!! You like Ching so far right!? Ching is my favorite character out of all the chapters. What you think about Hun? Well, he is a mystery now, but later he won't be. You might like him to. Sorry that when Ching was explaining his story that it was to close together, but I kept it that way because it was Ching TELLING the story. It wasn't really them talking with the bad guys and all. If you like it please review my story! It'll make me feel happy! THANK YOU! Next Chapter is "Dan Is Missing".
