Hello again peoples! I, Demoneyes 14, have returned with my first JSRF fic! Sorry I took it off. I feel really bad for not updating either, but you know... I had to change it!

Yes... so anyway, here's chappy 2. Once again, nothing different. Chappy three will probably be up later today! There's a major diff in that one!

Disclaimer: I don't own JSRF... nor do I own an xbox... ::sigh::

Chapter 2: Fatal mistakes

"HQ to all squads. The youths have invaded 99th Street again."

"Oh shit." Rhyth muttered to herself. The two of them were back to back on the roof of the dragon tower surrounded by the Rokaku police.

"Great." Beat growled. "Now what?"

"How should I know?" Rhyth snapped. She turned around to him, but went back to defending herself as one of the men tried to close in. She tripped the policeman and sprayed him before he took his first step. The other Rokaku police just waited for when they let their guard down.

"YO!"

The two of them looked up at Yoyo. He grinned down at them.

"What the hell have you gotten yourself into?"

"Shut up!" Beat snapped.

"And miss out on all the fun?" He teased. "Besides, I made a promise to Rhyth and I'm not gonna break it!" He jumped down and killed two of the police. Now was their chance. Rhyth charged at three of the Rokaku police. Beat attacked in the other direction. Soon, there were only three left. Instead of assaulting them, they just stood there, waiting for them to attack.

"I'll go." Beat said coolly.

Rhyth looked at the three men. Something was wrong. Then she saw it. "Wait, Beat!" Rhyth shouted. She grabbed his shoulder, but Beat pulled away.

"What's wrong with you?" Beat snapped. He turned and glared at her. Rhyth went quiet.

He charged at the three police, who jumped out of the way. Then he realized what Rhyth had been trying to tell him. There was no railing there. Beat lost his balance. He fell forward. The ground started closing in on him. Instead of seeing his life flash before his eyes, he saw a raindrop falling at the same speed as him.

'Great...' He thought bitterly. 'Now I'll find out how rain feels...'

"Beat!!" Yoyo jumped on the railing that went down to the ground. He grinded down the wire and caught up with Beat. "Beat! Take my hand!" He said once he was level with him. He reached out as far as he could. Beat took Yoyo 's hand and let Yoyo pull him in. They made it to the ground and stopped to catch their breath.

"Thanks, man." Beat panted. He looked around. "Hey. Where's Rhyth?"

Yoyo swallowed hard. They both looked up in fear at the sound of Rhyth screaming in pain.

"Oh, shit." Beat said under his breath. He jumped up onto the wire. Yoyo followed close behind. They raced up the tower to find Rhyth on her knees with one of the Rokaku police standing over her.

"RHYTH!"

The small girl looked up at them through strands of her blue hair. There was blood on her face and arms which was now being washed away by raindrops. She smiled weakly and tried to get up, but the policeman kicked her back down. Rhyth winced as he did so.

Suddenly, Beat felt a rage awaken in him. The red haired boy charged at the policeman. His headphones flew off as he dashed at him. He knocked him down and sprayed him faster than Corn ever could. Yoyo skated over to Rhyth, put her arm over his shoulder and helped her up.

"C'mon." Yoyo whispered into her ear. "Let's get you back to the garage." He then looked at a clock on the top of one of the buildings. "I'm sorry I broke our promise..."

Rhyth looked up at Yoyo. She could feel his body heat on her skin. "It's okay, Yoyo..." She replied smiling. She looked back down at the ground and watched a drop of blood mixed with rain run off her nose.

"Yoyo?"

"Yeah?"

"Where's Beat?"

Yoyo looked up to find that Beat was gone.

& & & & &

Beat jumped off the tower and landed on a wire. Rain splashed at his face. He clutched his headphones in his hands. Rhyth had nearly died and it was his fault. The thought of Rhyth or any of the GG's dying was unbearable. He decided to leave the team for a while to get this out of hid head. He couldn't stand to see another one of his teammates hurt on his account. Beat jumped onto a roof to hide as Yoyo carried Rhyth along back to the garage. He sat down and listened to the music below him. The team would be worried about him and come searching. He had to at least make it official. He could tell one of the team members one night and then he could leave them. Beat looked down at the ground where he had sprayed some graffiti a long time ago and let his auburn hair toss in the wind. He closed his eyes as he remembered Rhyth with blood all over her face. That moment would haunt his life forever.

"Rhyth!" Gum gasped as Yoyo carried the girl up the steps. "What the hell happened, Yoyo?"

"Beat and Rhyth got surrounded by the Rokaku police." Yoyo started. "I came and helped, but the police tricked Beat into falling off the tower. I went to save him and the police beat Rhyth. Once we got up the tower, Beat dashed over and killed him."

"Yeah... I think Beat killed that guy faster than you could, Corn." Rhyth teased. Gum laughed quietly, but went quiet when Corn looked at her. Corn didn't mind. Beat was fast. He had seen him go really fast through anger. That was probably it.

"Well, where's Beat?" Cube asked as Garam and Boogie helped Rhyth over to the couch.

"No clue." Yoyo said. "He disappeared after he killed that guy."

"I see..." Cube said as she trailed out of thought.

'I hope he comes back...' Rhyth thought as she closed her eyes.

"I'm going to go look for him." Corn said as he stood up.

"I'll go too." Cube agreed as she walked over to Corn.

"What about me?" Combo asked in an annoyed tone. "I'm goin' too!

The three of them skated off to 99th Street in search of Beat.

TBC...

D14: Tadaa...

Rhyth: ::Scowls:: Don't be such a party-pooper!

D14: where's the party then?

Rhyth: Er... over there?

D14: ::sighs:: Well, review please. I hope you liked it!
