The Grand DDR Tournament:
Chapter II
Hours have passed ever sense the kid tagged along with the girl and her boyfriend to go to the DDR tournament that was taking place in New York City. He and the girl's boyfriend just woke up after the girl fell asleep. The boyfriend was secretly giving the kid the evil eye, suspecting that he just a newbie in DDR. To be honest, he doubted that the score that the girl showed him was his, although the girl came up at him, telling how good he was. He will never forget the look of her face when she came up to tell him how bad he had defeated her on the last PA round. The kid looked at him and the boyfriend looked away from him.
"Did I do something?"
"...Just don't even think about getting my girl. Anyway, what is your name?"
"You can call me Kita."
"Just don't get cocky, Kita."
"We'll be landing in a hour. I repeat; we'll be landing in a hour."
After the announcement have been made, the girl's boyfriend looked back at him.
"Oh, and one more thing. Don't even think about winning that tournament, tramp."
Kita was really hit hard when he said that to him. Kita looked at him and replied with a straight tone:
"Don't worry about me winning, David."
"What the...HOW DID YOU KNOW MY NAME!"
There was silence in the airplane. People were staring at them and David prepares a fist and grabbed his jacket. "Look I don't know if my girlfriend told you my name or where you came from, but I'm telling you this once and only once. Don't even try to go for my girlfriend."
"I won't. I don't even have an interest in girls. Now let me go."
"Now you're saying that she's not good enough for you!"
"Look I'm not saying that she's ugly or mean. If it wasn't for her, I would not be able to go in the first place. I would be stuck running and hiding from the men that are chasing me. I'm just not ready for girls yet."
"And you're suppose to be sixteen."
"There's nothing wrong being single. You ought to be lucky that you have a girlfriend and that she is happy to be happy with you."
After Kita have said that, everybody clapped for him and went back to talking. David has never been so embarrassed like this in a long time and because of that he looked down with shame. A woman from the tournament staff walked in and walked toward the two. The woman looked at Kita and asked:
"Is there's a problem, Kita?"
"No madam, there isn't."
"Okay, are you supposed to be going to the tournament with the rest of the staff?"
Kita looked at the woman and she immediately made her apologies and rushed back in her section. David looked back at Kita and bend low to whisper to him.
"Hey, are you with the tournament staff!"
"No, I'm not. She just knows me so well."
"Okay then what was she talking about earlier!"
"I dunno, maybe she was talking about the tournament's judges and officials."
"Wait, then how did she know you?"
"You can say that I know people in high places."
"How high?"
"That I can't tell you."
"Wait, is that why you're being chased by the men that you're talking about?"
"To be honest, I don't know."
"Look, I'm sorry about the uproar earlier. Is just that I've never seen you ever."
"Well, I have a way with people names. Usually I take a guess at it and oddly, I get it right."
"What do you mean by usually."
"I know a lot of people because of my observant eyes, but there are few that I don't know."
David leaned back up and went back to gathering his thoughts while Kita was looking at the girl. Kita then began to worry but not about his safety, but about hers. The two agents that are on his tail might be also end up chasing her...or the first agent only. Kita really don't really have to worry about Kite chasing the girl, because he knew that he only want answers and the point of this chase. Kita knew that he would eventually have to explain his situation to the girl because he knew that she had something to do with this.
"Hey...are you going to tell me what went on with you and David?"
Kita looked at the girl who was just waking up. The girl overheard the argument and she wants an explanation. David looked at her and explained the whole thing.
"Okay, so try to guess my name then. Let's see if you get it right."
Kita looked at the girl eyes and then make a quick guess.
"You're Alex, are you?"
"Yes, you got it right. Have we've met?"
"I've saw you in the arcade last month. You might not have noticed me because I was too busy running."
"But why where you in the first place."
"Someone must have issues with me so he must've send those men to catch me."
"Why won't you just see what that person wants?"
"If I do that, then I would be killed."
David turned toward him, pat his forehead and said,
"You dummy, at least you could've called the police!"
"If I do that, then they would take me in."
"So they on to you also!"
"Yep, and they didn't have much choice. The only thing that they could not do is chase me. Only the two can."
"But I don't get it. Somebody is on to you and he or she got the police to follow your tail and all you did is nothing?"
"That's because there's nothing that I can do but run from the two."
Alex stood up from her seat to see if she can find the two men for him. She skimmed through the faces of people and when she was finished, she sat back down, leaned down and pulled her head up.
"Kita, have you seen some guy with the black shades that wears a black coat and has black spiky hair?"
The guy that Alex is referring to could be the first agent that is after him, but he knew that he must keep a low profile.
"No, I doubt that I have."
"Let me give you some word of advice, he's the assistant tournament coordinator and if you are part of the tournament staff, then don't let this guy see you. I don't know what he will do if he had but in one tournament, he kicked a judge out because he was not in the judging room."
"And your point is Alex?"
"Dumbo, the coordinator is strict about people's places and that must be the only reason why he's here, David."
"But, I still don't get it."
"You're hopeless."
Hours and hours the three have talked and talked. When nearly seventy-five percent of the competitors are sleeping, including David and Alex, Kita reached a little red book from his left coat pocket and took out a pen. He flipped to an empty page and he began to write his day down. Beside the airplane was the jet that Kite was riding in. Kite was sitting in the back of the jet with a female judge from the tournament. With the two, were the rest of the judges and officials that will be in this tournament. Kite was reading the rules of the tournament while the woman was talking on her cell phone. Although he has been given the permission to be a judge temporary, Kite still wondered would this senseless chase will ever end or at least the point of this. He covered his nose with the book and dozes off with his thoughts. When the woman was finished, she slapped him with the newspaper that she was reading earlier.
"Get up! You only have half a day to memorize this. We'll be landing with the contestants in thirteen hours!"
Kite removed the book from his face and resumed his task that was assigned by the woman that is his mentor and one of the judges. The woman looked at him while he was studying.
"Poor kid, he should not have to do this much…"
On the next day when it was only five o'clock in the morning, an announcement was made concerning the arrival time. According to the pilot, the plane will arrive at New York City in one o' clock in the afternoon. At this time of hour, everybody was asleep on that plane, except for Kita. He was still playing catching up with his journal and he been up for three solid hours, doing nothing but writing in the journal. Decided that to take a brief break, Kita stood up to see if the tournament coordinator was here like Alex warned him. Yep, he was here all right, asleep. Regardless, he quickly sat back down and resumed back to his journal.
(Notice #2: All right I've made some mistakes from Chapter I and I'm using this notice to point them out. One, I did misspelled Genom Screams. Instead of the 'm' that was between the 'e' and 'o', that I've typed, that should've be an 'n'. Two, Kite is actually the guy with the glasses that have circle-shaped lens, so if you get a chance to play it in the US arcade version of DDR Extreme, look for the guy with the glasses at the near end of the video. And three, I've notice that some words didn't space out like they should be. There is an issue with the formatting, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience on that one.)
