## CHAPTER XVII##
// Intrusion \\

**FRIDAY**

Still in America, Max, Teri, Daisuke, and Yayori were in the BBA's battle stadium, honing their skills and techniques against each other. Teri, still holding a grudge against Daisuke for the previous battle, challenged him again while Max and Yayori had a friendly battle.

-I can't afford to lose Shadows...!- Daisuke bit his lower in thought as his blade easily avoided collision. "Shadows, Darkness of Manipulation...!"

-He's in deep thought- Teri took notice of his absent mind when he called forth the attack. -Never mind that! I have to prove to him that I can't be easily defeated again since I am an -elite- blader!- "Trigon! Fire Lightning Claw Attack!"

Yayori glanced over to Daisuke and spoke softly so only Max can hear. "Max, you don't think...?"

The blonde boy nodded, "Yeah, I think so. I guess today's the day..."

**JUDY**

"Misaki, please have our top bladers and security guards have their sight on Daisuke Kashiwagi." Judy instructed to the female beside her.

"Yes'am." The asked female's finger's glided across the control panel, sending data orders to the top bladers and guards. "Would you like them to be on full alert, Director Judy?"

"If you don't mind, Misaki."

"Not all, ma'am!"

**UNKNOWN**

"Dispatch the Slayers!" Ordered a familiar voice from headquarters, "Make sure you retrieve both of them! I will not tolerate a failed assignment from the High Class!"

"Dispatching Slayers" confirmed a digitized male voice.

"Dispatching Slayers complete" confirmed yet another digitized female voice.

**SLAYERS**

"It's 'him' we're after, aren't we?" asked a pained female voice as she looked out below from the aerial chopper.

"Consider him nothing more but traitor like Hiwatari" Snapped a harsh male voice from the right of the female.

"Let's just hurry it up and get it done with" said a different male opposite of side from the other male, in a rather uneasy voice.

"What's the rush?" asked the first male, "Scared?"

"No, it's not that!" defended the second male, "Anything but that. It's just..."

"It just doesn't feel right..." finished the female.

"You two are completely idiotic" retorted the first male, "We have a task that was directly asked from Lord Ken. He expects us to finish this assignment 'flawlessly' and I intend to carry it out like he had planned it."

"It almost sound like you worship the grounds he walks, Sano" remarked the other male.

"He did save the three of us from that orphanage, after all. Did you forget that, Zaki?"

"I was planning to forget it. I honestly don't know what you see in that cynical man."

The female quietly started out the chopper window, dreading the moment of time...

**BBA**

An ominous feeling washed over Daisuke right after he called his next attack. The teenage boy looked somewhat surprised and startled at the same time.

"Return, Shadows!"

"Huh? WHAT?? Why are you calling back your blade???"

Daisuke averted his eyes towards the door. "We have some unexpected visitors."

"What?" The three astonished bladers said.

The door mechanically hissed open, revealing three figures standing in the doorway. One seemed to have hacked into the system since he had a rather small bag hanging across his chest.
