Disclaimer: If I owned anything would I be sitting at home on a Saturday night with no money? No I would be out breaking stuff! SO HA TO YOU!

Chapter 13 – They're Here...

"Where are you going?" Kai held onto the half-demons sleeve.

Ruby simply smirked, "I'm bored as sin, and I feel like spying on Dana and Tala...would you like to join me Kai?"

"Like you need to ask." The bluenette rose from his seat and walked with Ruby, who was using her senses to find her two friends.

They had been talking for sometime now. Just talking, nothing else really. Random things would pop up here and there, and they would discuss it. Tala and Dana had spoken about they're friends, family, and occasionally a little about their past. Then they rested on the subject of Kai and Ruby, and the two's relationship.

"They're pretty bad at trying to hide what they feel." Dana trailed off as she stared into the flowing river her and Tala were sitting in front of. "Especially Kai."

"Yeah..." Replied Tala simply.

"So Tala..." Dana turned to the redhead. "Do you like anyone in that sorta way?"

"Yes..." Tala turned his gaze back to the river.

"Anyone I know?" Dana caulked her head to the side.

Ice blue met gold as Tala looked back to the brunette, "Yeah, you know her." The two teens stayed like that for sometime, neither of them noticing that they were slowly inching closer to one another. The only two who seemed to notice, was the little spy duo hiding in some bushes.

"Finally!" Ruby rolled her eyes and sat down on the ground. "It took them long enough!"

"Personally I think Dana will attempt to murder us if she finds out about us spying on her and Tala over there."

Ruby simply gave Kai a you-really-think-I-care look before shaking her head. "Fine...we'll leave these two alone."

"So we can be?" Kai smirked and stroked Ruby's silver tipped ear playfully.

"Maybe." She purred. "Now come on." The two teens then silently got up from their hiding place and went of to wander some place else. Now! Back to the more interesting pair!

Skin made contact with skin as a slight shiver crept its way up Dana's back. The brunette buried her face into Tala's shirt once they had broke contact, hiding the fierce blush that had appeared on her cheeks.

"Well there's your answer..." Tala laughed slightly as he snaked his arms around Dana's waist.

"You smart ass." Dana smirked and rested against the redhead.

Steel eyes looked over the town, a smirk spread across their owner's lips, and a small chuckled coming from them.

"I think we should act tonight. Don't you agree Odin?" Those ice cold eyes turned to a creature in the distance. The beats face was hidden however by the shadows. Its only response was a low growl, which seemed to please the other.

"Exactly what I was thinking."

Ruby stopped dead in her tracks as her sensitive ears picked up a horrible laugh erupting somewhere far off. She began twisting and turning, trying to pin point exactly where the noise had come from. But whoever had been laughing had already stopped, so she simply gave up.

"What's the matter?" Kai finally noticed that Ruby was not beside him anymore.

Ruby put on a fake smile and started walking again, "Oh it's nothing."

"Where's your sister?" Mr. Black asked his two sons' with an eyebrow raised. "She was supposed to be here for training."

"She's somewhere with Kai!" Ryan answered his father first.

"Yeah. She told Azura to take us home." Scott replied next.

Mr. Black stood there for some time, his thoughts racing, wondering if he should allow this one time to slip, or if he should go out and find his daughter. "Thank you boys. But Ruby can have one day off."

After the middle-aged demon had finished his conclusion he heard the front doors swing open, and footsteps going across the floor and towards the training room.

"Sorry I'm late!" The black haired teen quickly apologized. "I had to make sure Tala and Dana were um...not getting into trouble." She then quickly tore off her socks and jean jacket before rolling up the bottoms of her pants so they were up to her knees.

"Ok then. I was going to give you a break but now that you're here you can practice with that sword of yours." Mr. Black chuckled at the look his daughter was giving him. "Hurry up!"

The calm silence of nightfall had fallen over the town, and people were happily walking about, enjoying the clear sky. But two beasts however had other things on their minds. The steel-eyed demon raised his hand. Muttering a few words under his breath, he summoned a great ball of energy, and launched it from his rooftop perch, and down at the bustling community. The orb crashed into one of the buildings, exploding its side and sending chunks of concrete down at the now screaming people.

"What the hell!" An all to familiar group of bladers stood in their spot, to paralyzed with fear to move. The four boys finally found their ability to move just as the concrete barely missed them.

"I'm looking for Ruby Black!" Looking up the group saw the owner of the voice. He had the structure of a human, but two huge pointed ears gave that clear away. Atop his huge figure was a long flowing black over-coat, underneath that was a simple navy muscle shirt. Adorning his bottom half were simple baggy black jeans, with to belts freely hanging from his waist, holding many sharp objects.

The unknown demon ran a clawed hand through his bright gold hair, "If you don't tell me where she is then I'll have to have Odin, here show you what happens to people who don't give me what I want!" Gesturing to the roof above was a colossal beast. It's tentacles snaking down the buildings, and slowly inching toward the streets. It wasn't a giant squid, but it wasn't an over-sized octopus either. It was something else. And that was very clear since it had horribly spines on each of its equally long tentacles.

"Who the hell are you?!" Tyson, being the person he was bellowed up to the demon that was floating above him and the many other people.

Smirking, the nameless beast showed an extremely sharp canine, "I go by the name Zereken. And if you don't tell me where this Ruby character is...then, well, I'll just have to dispose of you!"

Odin landed with a hard boom on the ground and began thrashing his tentacles round and round. The many people in the area began running for their lives. That is before Zereken began laughing mercifully, and raised his hand high in the air. In doing this, a huge dome of energy planted itself around every person, including the group of bladers.

"Either Ruby's here!" Zereken yelled to all the people, "Or your screams of pain will make her come!"

This was the end. They were stuck. No...they were trapped. Trapped in this bubble they couldn't escape. With the evil hand of death just inching it's way towards them. Not being able to stop it, the four out of five Bladebreakers just prayed to the heavens that somehow, some way, they would get out of that horrible predicament at least with their lives.

Phew! That was a toughie. I got stuck at the beginning, and then I kept on having to figure out how to make Odin and Zereken come into the chapter. But PHEW! Jeez, but I think it turned out pretty good! Oh, and if you get confused somehow just ask me some questions in your reviews (which I hope you post after reading this hard work!) and I'll answer them in my next chapter which will be up A.S.A.P. Oh, and there you go Melina Kon. Hope you like it!

And I leave in saying this: When you're feeling sad...or just plain loopy. Don't be mad...just say POOPY!

Well that's all for now...bye bye!
