Disclaimer: I own none of the characters except 'master' and hotel staff.

I'm so glad a lot of you enjoyed the first chapter.

I don't think this chapter is going to be really long. Probably the same as the prologue.

Enjoy!

Chapter One – The Story Behind

"We were hoping that we could avoid you throughout our stay, but luck once again kicked us straight up our pert asses." Said Tala amused by the Bladebreakers.

"Tala!" The trio yelled.

"In person. Now I wonder what you five are doing here."  Said Tala smirking as well as the other Demolition Boys.

"Well if you're so concerned our rooms are on this floor." Answered Tyson.

"Well then you got lucky. You know what floor this really is, don't you?" asked Tala putting a serious mask on. Tyson, Max and Kenny just stared at him.

 Kai smirked from behind the group shaking his head. Rei seemed to catch what was going on and kept quiet. The two older teens traded signals with the Demolition Boys that they would keep quiet.

"Well since you seem not to know I'll tell you." Said Tala. "Well this is the fourteenth floor, or they only want you to think so. This is the thirteenth floor. You know what that means." Tala said watching the expression on the trio's faces. Tyson and Max shrugged it off interested in the story while Kenny was starting to get freaked but held his tongue.

"Knock it off Tala." Said Tyson.

"Yeah Tala. Everyone knows that the thirteenth floor is just a superstition exaggerated." Max said backing Tyson up.

"Oh really? Well then you're in for a surprise. Do you know why this hotel is where it is? Ever thought it was a little weird to be out in the middle of nowhere?" he asked. Seeing as he got no reply he continued.

"Really? Okay. This hotel once stood where a pagan tower was. The tower was used for worship to the less heavenly gods and the cult preformed more evil deeds on the tower. They say that one night the worshippers came to pray for something bad they did.

Their so called gods didn't have mercy and sent a surge making the thirteen level tower collapse, killing the people which coincidently there were thirteen of them.

Only about seventy years ago when they were building this hotel, they found remains and ruins of what seemed to be of ancient god worshippers and ruins from this tell-tale legend.

They couldn't move the ruins and graves and so they decided to build the hotel on top of it." Tala said wrapping up his story.

Tyson and Max seemed to consider what Tala was saying might be true. Kenny was shaking; his watch making rattle noises as the metal and plastic shook again his laptop. The Demolition Boys plus Kai and Rei smirked inwardly at Tala's effectiveness at scaring the younger teens. Tala wanting to take the step further added a bit more.

"You see this door." He said pointing to the door next to them right in the small walk in. "They say that this door leads all the way down to the basement where the ruins and graves are. It is the only way down there. The door has never been opened since. Go ahead and check if you want. It's locked there is no doorknob." Said Tala stepping aside. Tyson looked at Max and a silent agreement was passed between them.

Tyson and Max slowly moved forward followed closely by the rest of their team and the Demolition Boys. Tyson reached the door and saw that Tala was right in their being no door handle.

"Hey, Tyson doesn't that stain at the top look a little like blood?" asked Rei observing as always. Tyson, Max and Kenny all turned their heads up at the rusty colour. All of a sudden the Demolition Boys and Bladebreakers heard a sound from behind the door. Three pairs of eyes widened at it. Taking a step back Tyson, Max and Kenny screamed as the door slid open.

All the Demolition Boys plus Kai and Rei burst out laughing. A maid shaken by the screams straightened out and started yelling at the boys in her native tongue. All the boys moved out of the staff hallway allowing the maid to get out.  Tyson turned towards Tala before launching himself at him.

"Tala you bastard! That wasn't funny!" yelled Tyson only to be pulled off of him by Bryan. Kai quickly pulled his teammate back to his side.

"Go find your room before security comes up here." Kai ordered sending his team to their rooms. Tyson mumbled before picking up his bag and walking to his room.

This left the Russians standing in the hallway.

"I'm guessing you have been bored for a while?" asked Kai.  Tala ran a hand through his hair.

"You have no idea, and also I couldn't resist."

"No kidding." Said Kai.

"Anyway we are heading downstairs for lunch. Our rooms are right across from yours. How convenient eh? We'll come to your room later." Tala said before walking into the elevator. The other Demolition Boys gave their farewells before disappearing into the elevator.

Kai watched the doors close before walking to his room. Opening the door he was welcomed with the sight of a nice suite room.  The room had light crème walls with a darker carpet. Two beds were placed by the walls. There was a majestic looking balcony opposite to the front door. On the closest bed was Rei, sitting going through his bag. Rei smiled when Kai walked over.

"I got your bag as well. I don't think they well be forgiving us for that prank for a while." Rei said watching his captain stretch out on his bed.

"They deserved it for listening to Tala." Kai said closing his eyes. Rei smiled and looked out the window. He thought he saw something flash across but brushed it off at a sun ray.

----------------------------------

"They're here master." Said the servant.  The 'master' who was walking towards through the black void nodded.

"I know." He said quietly. The servant walked a step behind confused.

"Aren't you going to do anything?"

"No. Not yet at least, Besides that one has already riled up the fears in a few of them. It will only take time." The 'master' said before disappearing further into the black void.

------------------------------------------------------------

So there's chapter two. That story that Tala told them is my own story. If you do wish on using it for any reason please ask me first. It means a lot.

Anyway I will hopefully have the next chapter up soon.

Please Review!
