Alexs P.O.V.
So it's been about a week since our last match which was against the rickers. In that week Mei has been acting weird around D'jok, i don't know what she's doing but it's starting to bug me and it won't end well. Mice has also got really jealous about the two of them hanging out a lot more. Speaking of Mice he's the only one left on the team that hasn't awakened the Breath of Akillian and it's really irritating him.
Anyway right now we are on the shuttle heading for our next match against the Pirates. Callie is also with us and she's got a new camera bot with her, Thran and Mice seem really interested in it. D'jok is sat next to a sleeping Ahito, rocket is sat not far from them. Tia and Mei are sat on the opposite side of the ship and i'm sat in the corner of the couch holding my necklace in my hand. Since seeing Uma a month ago i've wanted nothing more than to tell D'jok that he's my brother but i need to talk to Mia first, she found D'jok as a baby so she must know, right?
I wasnt really listening to the conversations around me but i happened to notice Mei get up and go sit next to D'jok. I sighed quietly and just put my headphones in, not really in the mood to talk to anyone.
D'joks P.O.V.
When Mei sat down next to me i noticed Al in the corner looking out of the window holding her necklace tightly in her hands. Mei followed my gaze and said
"Is that necklace really important to her?"
"It's the only thing she has left from her birth parents"
"She's an orphan"
"Yeah been in care for as long as i can remember"
"You've known her for a while, haven't you?"
"We met when we were three. She was with her foster family at the time. So yeah i've known her for awhile. Shes family" Mei then muttered
"And Micro-ice, how long have you known him"
"Mice we met when we were 5. Alex and I were playing up in the caves when we shouldn't have been. She slipped and pulled me with her. Mia took us to the hospital where we met Micro-ice. That was the first time we got into trouble"she just smiled at me. Moments later the ship came to a stop, which made Elena take her headphones off. Shortly after there was a loud thud before Arch came in a said
"Relax it's just a pirate ship boarding us" at the mention of the pirates Mei shuffled closer to me.
Alex's P.O.V.
When i notice Mei move closer to D'jok i couldn't help but roll my eyes. The docking hatch then opened and two people jumped down. One was wearing Navy striped trousers, an orange t-shirt, navy blazer, matching hat, trainers, and sunglasses. The other was shorter, he was wearing a pair of combat shorts, orange t-shirt, green bomber jacket, and pair of boots. If i honest with you he's kinda cute. The one in the hat then spoke
"Welcome everyone, I'm captain Bennett. My young friend Artie and i will be your guides for the last part of your trip across the Shilo Archipelago. The driving might shake a little bit but above all stay in your seats and enjoy the view" they then went to the front of the ship just as i moved over to Mice and Thran. When i sat down with them Mice said
"Wow they rock the house don't they"Seconds later we were moving again.
We landed someone not long after. Looking out of the window all you could see were ships, it's was massive. Bennett then reappeared and said
"Here we are friends, the sight of the match" Mice then said
"Wow that's a first. It's colossal" Artie then walked over to us and said to thran
"What do you say to some galactik football cards" Thran took them and said
"Wow that's us" i didn't believe him, so looked and said
"No way, i didn't know these had come out yet" Artie smiled and said
"They haven't come out yet we stole them from the.." he was cut off by Bennett
"ARTIE our friends don't need to know about our affairs" Artie then said
"At any rate you have a heck of a team 76% aerial coverage in the midfield" Thran then said
"More like 77% if you look at the most recent tests. Wait, how did you know that"
"ARTIE"
Artie and Bennett then showed us to the place we'd be staying. However as we were walking through the halls it felt like we were at the Ricars again. Mei then spoke
"No way. The rooms are the same everywhere it's like we're playing at the Ricars" Artie stopped and said
"That's possible. But we didn't… how do i put this. It's not them we borrowed it from"
"ARTIE" i then said to Artie
"Your not that great at the whole secret thing, are you?"
"Hey, i'm still pretty new to all this myself" we then continue through the building. Mice and thran went off somewhere with Clamp. After dropping my stuff off in my room i went to see D'jok.
When i got to his room, i could hear him and mice talking
"D'jok you coming with us. Oh gee how stupid of me you like spending all your time with Mei now"
"Micro-ice why are you always bugging me about that"
"Maybe it's because i'm in love with Mei and my best friend is swiping her from me"
"I'm not swiping nothing from nobody. Last i checked Mei didn't belong to you"
"All right i'm gone the air is getting foul around here" When mice walked out of the room he said to me
"Good luck" i stood in the doorframe, pointing in the way mice went and said
"Whats going on" i stepped into the room as he said
"He's just being dramatic"
"Well yeah, it's Mice. but he generally seemed upset"
"He's just ticked off that Meis showing some interest in me and not him" i crossed my arms and said
"Don't you think it's a bit weird though"
"What"
"Well she's only just started showing interest in you. I don't know why but it feels like she's up to something"
"Not you too Lex"
"Hey, when have my gut feelings ever been wrong" he simply said
"Uma"
"Apart from then" the door then slid open behind me and i heard Meis voice
"Oh sorry, i can come back" i then said
"No it's okay, i was just leaving" as i was leaving i said to D'jok
"Just think about it"
Later that night Mice seemed to go missing. Whilst i was looking for him i ran into Artie and asked
"Hey, have you seen Micro-ice around"
"Not since earlier. Have you tired the ship"
"The ship, of course. Thanks" i started walking away as he called
"I'll come with you" we then walked to the shuttle.
When we entered the ship we could hear a ball then said
"You know they've been looking for you everywhere"
"What are you waiting for, you just have to tell them where i am"
"Me turn you in. that's not at all my style" i sat down next to Mice as Artie continued
"Speaking of style, i like yours ya know. I saw you play a few times you're one heck of a dribbler" Mice then said
"Give me a break. I'm not nearly good enough/ look at everyone else they all have the breath. I can't get it" i then said
"You'll get it Mice. i know it" Artie then said
"Come on join your team and prove to them that your the best. Well one of the best anyways
Soon enough it was morning and time for the match. The pirates had a really cool pitch. The pirates were really good players but we still beat them 4-0. Mice got the breath at last but him and D'jok still wouldn't talk. During the match it's like they were competing against each other. Anyway upon returning to Akillian and after the other pirates match, Arch had us training non-stop in preparation for the match against the Shadows. Rocket was injured in our second match against the Pirates but is recovering now. It took a few days but D'jok and Micro-ice finally made up but something was still bothering me about Mei. i guess it's nothing.
Well that was until i ran into Mei in the hall after one of our many training sessions.
"Hey Alex"
"Whats up"
"I know that you and D'jok our really close, and i don't want to ruin that"
"Trust me you wont"
"Anyway, it's great that rocket is recover so fast, right"
"Yeah i guess" i then noticed something on her wrist.
"Whats that, D'joks Bracelet"
"He gave it to me, nice of him huh"
"He gave you his bracelet"
"Yes, why" i then turned around and went to find D'jok
I found him playing a game with Ahito. When he noticed i was ther he said
"Hey lex whats up"
"Your bracelet"
"What about"
"You gace it to Mei"
"Yeah, and?"
"I thought it was the most important thing in the world to you. I thought it was your good luck charm"
"Al it's just a bracelet"
"That your mother gave you before she died, remember that" i then turned and walked away. I soon found thran in the chill out room. I sat down on the couch and said
"I can't take this anymore ive gotta get out of here"
"You heard Arch. nobody can leave the academy until after the match with the shadows"
" Didn't you hack into the plans of the old stadium a few days ago"
"Yes why"
"Show me"
"Alex you're not planning to…" i cut him off by saying
"Don't start. Just show me the plans" we got up and i followed him to his room. He started flicking thru the plans on his computer when i said
"Stop… Whats that…
