Listen to my story…

Chapter 4 – Tuxedo Mask

The group consisting of Nexus, Serene, DJ, Saiyan (SMG), Tirnam"Bas, Yugi, Naruto and Ryo were staying at a small village called Portslade. They'd traveled some 12 leagues before night fell and had chanced upon this small place as they stumbled through the tree starved land.

They were staying in a cozy inn called the Meadow Oak. Most of the group was sitting around a circular table eating and drinking. DJ was having a staring contest with an ugly old tabby cat that the owner looked after. Saiyan watched him with a bemused expression as she sipped her vodka and juice.

Naruto and Ryo had both got roaring drunk and were singing VERY loudly and very badly.

Serene was sitting in the corner nodding on and off between sleep and wakefulness.

Yugi and Nexus were sitting at the counter downing shots of straight vodka. Between each shot they discussed their two friends Yami and Mark who had been killed back in the tunnel.

'It's weird not having Mark about' said Nexus quietly 'I know he never seemed very emotional or kind but his always been there for me, we were almost like brothers'

'I know how you feel, It's like a piece of yourself is missing' said Yugi quietly 'But we can't let them have died for nothing; we'll keep on living and keep on fighting…'

Nexus smiled thinly, but said nothing. He excused himself and left the Inn and decided to take a walk outside.

Tirnam"Bas watched Nexus leave the inn, his green eyes constantly searching their surroundings for possible dangers.

'He shouldn't go off by himself like that…' muttered Tirnam"Bas. DJ broke away his gaze from the staring contest with the tabby cat on the other side of the room and replied

'Your right, let's go look for him before he runs into trouble' he agreed with the tall ex-army cadet, pushing himself to his feet. DJ grabbed his Ultimate warrior stone and followed out after Tirnam"Bas to make sure that Nexus stayed out of trouble.

Nexus walked along the cobbled pathway of the old village, though a little drunk he continued to sweep the surroundings with his piercing stare, keeping an eye, or perhaps should I say eyes out for danger.

The sky was a violet tinted black and small puffy grey clouds were scattered across the sky. The wind was still and stuffy and it was deafly quiet.

A brief rustle crackled through the silence, Nexus spun towards the noise and drew out a small Sig-Saur gun from the holster upon his waist.

After a moment or two nothing, then from nowhere a beam of energy was released, striking Nexus solidly in the chest and throwing him back several feet and knocking all the air out of his stomach and winding him.

'You know Nexus, if I'd been an enemy you'd be dead now' came an amused voice from somewhere in the darkness.

Out of the darkness stepped out a man dressed in a black tuxedo and wearing an opera style mask over his face.

Nexus winced and straightened up 'Hey that's unfair man, I'm still a bit tipsy from earlier' complained Nexus, then he laughed

'It's been a long time Darien' the man in the tuxedo pulled Nexus in a brief hug and replied

'Too long, how's DJ and Saiyan been since I last saw you guys?' asked Darien

'Same as ever, I guess' replied Nexus with a shrug

'Come on, I'll take you to them…And I'd appreciate if you don't tell the gang that you caught me off guard' said Nexus with an embarrassed grin

Darien laughed, but said nothing. Nexus and Darien proceeded back towards the inn; the gang would sure be surprised when DJ's old team mate Darien or as he was better known as Tuxedo Mask came through the door.

Outside the inn DJ and Tirnam"Bas followed after Nexus, to make sure he stayed out of trouble, he had a tendency to get himself into deep trouble on a regular basis.

Moments later they felt an energy blast nearby, the two rushed towards where it came from. And the saw a rather surprising sight. It was there old buddy Tuxedo Mask, one of the top agents at the rebel HQ. Plus Nexus was there as well; for once he hadn't got himself into trouble.

A large grin appeared on DJ's face; he and Darien had been best friends at one time and had joined the REBELS HQ together.

'HEY DARIEN!' yelled DJ, rushing forward, to embrace his old friend. Darien grabbed him in a rough bear hug and laughed delightedly.

'Hey get a room' muttered Tirnam"Bas, just loud enough for the two of them to hear. They both gave him a withering look and Nexus was doubled over with laughter.

'Save it for later!' announced Nexus 'Come on we might as well get back before the others get worried'

The others agreed and headed back towards the inn, it didn't take long.

'Hey guys how ya been' grinned Darien as he stepped into the inn.
