Sada looked at her three friends and saw them slowly open their eyes. She rushed over to them. "Are all of you okay?" Kai struggled to his feet and so did Max. Sumi got up, but fell back, and Max caught her.

"I think we're okay. I'm a little dizzy, but other than that, I think I'm fine," Sumi mumbled. Max finally helped her stand on her own. She looked around and say the grey girl cowering in the corner and the grey boy unconscious on the floor. There was one more person.

"That's that woman from before!" Max cried out before Sumi got the chance to. At the door stood a woman that was leaning against the door frame with a hand on her head. She was pale and very frail. She had waist long black hair. She wore a long black dress.

"Lilia!" The grey girl ran to the pale woman. "Is it happening again!"

Lilia took a deep breath. "I'm fine, Rose. How is Jaccob?" Rose bit her lip and looked at the unconscious boy. Lilia looked also, "Never mind."

Sada walked over to Kai. "Are you okay?" When he nodded, she relaxed. She shifted her glance over to Lilia and rose. She tightened her grip on the pole in her hand. "Who are you two and what do you want?"

"We are Lilia and Rose of the Bladers Oscuro." Lilia said straightening up. Once she stood tall, she was much more intimidating. She looked powerful. "I am the leader, Lilia Caos. These are my younger siblings Rose and Jaccob."

"I've never heard of you, but you sound like a bunch of fakes to me," Sada rolled her eyes.

Jaccob was slowly beginning to wake up. Rose rushed over and helped him up. "We are a new group," Rose answered after Jaccob was standing up on his own. "Lilia, Jaccob, Charlie, and myself are in it. Charlie is busy doing other things."

"Why did you do this to us?" Max said daring to take a step forward, towards the strange people.

"You interrupted our research. We used the M.I.M. to get you out of the way. Lilia was the one in the machine, asking you the questions. She had access to all of your thoughts and memories."

"Research?" Sumi asked suspiciously.

"That is confidential information," Lilia stiffened.

Max leaned in and whispered in Sumi's ear, "These people seem shallow. We shouldn't trust them. After all, they hurt us." Sumi nodded.

The four of them shared a look and then Max shouted put, "RUN!" All four of them ran to the door, pushing Lilia aside. They ran down the tunnels and clambered up the stairs. The climbed out and shut the door. They were all breathing hard.

"The Bladers Oscuro... who exactly are they?" Sumi asked. She leaned against one of the lockers.

"I don't know... but I have the feeling that we will see them again. I also feel that they are danger. We should watch our backs through out the whole tournament." Sada said.

Everyone shared a anxious look. No one said anything, but no one needed to. It went without saying that something was going to change, and it would change their lives forever.
