Chapter 4: Always Have A Back-up Plan

New Heaven, Ansonia. The sky had gotten dark out signaling it was sunset now. Citizens were roaming freely and minding their own business as robots followed behind them cautiously. The road is still at it's usual color as always. Three girls were standing on the corner of the block leading to four or eighteen rows of abandoned houses. Samantha looked around a bit cautiously while making sure no-one else is there with them. Victoria raised her left hand to her hair and played with her braids a bit while looking at the abandoned houses and says "This place looks deserted, are you sure were at the right spot Tralina?" Her eyes shifted over to Tralina, the girl in orange and gold clothing stood there staring at the sunset smiling. "I love the sunset, it always makes me feel at peace with the world." Samantha looked up into the sky and saw the sunset then looked over to Tralina and says. "No kidding, maybe that's why you're wearing orange and gold." Victoria laughed a little as she started walking down the street towards the houses. "That might just be it Samantha and we're fools for not noticing it earlier." Tralina checked herself out in her gold dress that fit like a jacket to her. She loved the long sleeves covering her arms and how the skirt stopped above her knees, allowing her orange leggings to show going down the rest of the way until her black boots were there. She also had a gold hood to it too with an diamond orange shape 'T' on the back of her jacket. "Is that so huh?" said Tralina making eye contact with Samantha then looked over at Victoria and shouts "Wait!" Victoria instantly stopped in her tracks then turned around to Tralina and Samantha and says "What? Why did you want me to wait?" Samantha shrugged her shoulders then looked at Tralina as she walked towards Victoria's side. Tralina brought both of her hands up in front of her chest and made two fists saying "We can't just walk up to those houses! What if a Visogath is inside?" Victoria gave a small sigh as she ruffled her hair a bith before exchanging looks with Samantha. Victoria crossed her right leg in front of her left leg and says "We don't really know if they're in there though. I can see why your being hesistant."

Tralina walked over to Victoria and Samantha with a stern look on her face, and she said "Listen, if things start to get hot in there, I want you two to get away from here. run as fast as you can." Samantha nodded her head while saying "Understood Tralina." Victoria shot Samantha an puzzling look before agreeing with her. The trio started making their way to the first house. The house was about two stories tall. the outside was painted beige with a brown porch and steps. The address had been knocked off the door. Victoria reached in her left pocket and pulled out a pack of double mint bubble gum, she pulled one piece out than opened it and put it in her mouth as she chewed it. She put the rest of her gum away and blew a small bubble that popped before saying "This is it huh? Well we might as well go inside." Samantha hung her head down for a moment before lifting it back up, she walked upstairs with Tralina close by her. She knocked twice on it before pushing it open. "Hmm.." she said as she went inside, she noticed it wasn't really big. The living room had wooden floors with white dirty walls. Victoria walked in after them and took a look around. Tralina stretched her arms outwards saying "It's empty, I don't sense anything in here nor do I sense anything I'm looking for here but we can still look around for fun." Samantha turned her attention away from Tralina for a second and towards the kitchen. She said "Sure, but maybe we should just go now. There's nothing here for us." she looked back to Tralina who was tracing her fingers along the walls. Samantha raised her eyebrow curiously and asks "What are you doing, Tralina?" Tralina stopped tracing the walls and dusted her hands off before facing Samantha, and says "Nothing, I was just bored so, I thought maybe I could find something to do too." Tralina blinked twice before hanging her head for a second. Samantha looked a bit worried for her friend, she placed her left hand on her right shoulder and says "Tralina, are you okay?" Tralina raised her head and smiled. This smile seemed different, from her other facial expressions. Tralina gently removed Samantha's hand off her shoulder and replies "I'm fine, come on, let's go find Victoria." Samantha gave a short nod as she walked to the staircase in the dining room and shouts "Victoria, we're leaving!" There was the sound of paper being ripped apart than foot steps came running down to Samantha and Tralina, they saw it was Victoria and she was holding an letter in her hand.

Tralina clampsed her hands together as she did a mini spin on her heels saying "Is that for me?" she said it very cheery and giggled before extending her hand out to Victoria. Victoria blinked and handed the letter to Tralina and says "How'd you know it was for you girl?" Tralina unfolded the letter and was about to read it before saying "My team always finds a way to contact me. This letter has got to be a clue." Tralina's brown eyes met with Victoria's red eyes for a moment before she started reading the letter "Dear Trayvon, If you come back and we're not here, don't worry, we chose this course of action as a team and we will deal with the consequences. P.s Taffy and Laffy." Tralina sighed as she balled up the letter and tossed it on the floor. Samantha picked up the paper ball herself. Victoria waved her hands in a circle a few times "Wait.. they want to stay captured? What a shame." Tralina didn't say anything, she gave Victoria a blank expression look. Samantha unballed the paper ball and read it to herself, when she finished reading it she sighed as well and threw it down. Tralina opened her right hand and closed her eyes just as her sword appeared in her hand. It's handle was gold and the blade was silver yet her necklace remained raised her eye curiously and asks "What are you doing girl? Put that thing away!" Samantha looked over at Tralina and says "Hey, put that away before someone sees it!" Tralina opened her eyes just as her sword dissappeared. Samantha poked Tralina's cheek and asks "What were you trying to do?" Tralina smiled sweetly and shook her head no and says "Nothing, hey girls. Do either of you know how to use a gun?" Victoria nlinked twice and replies "Do we know how to use an gun? No, why?" Samantha also wondered the same question as Victoria. Tralina giggled and waved her hand in a dismissing manner before answering them. " No reason, I was just asking, we always gotta have a back up plan right?" Samantha ran her hand through her own hair and says uncertainly "Yeah? I guess so."

Tralina giggled more and tapped their shoulders saying "Good, now let's get going before we attract some unwanted attention." Samantha nodded and pointed to the front door and says "Let's go girls." she started walking to the front door with Victoria and Tralina close behind her. The trio got away from the houses easily without drawing any attention to them at all. Samantha led them back to their house, the three girls sat down on the couch in the living room talking. Victoria shook her head no and says "Tralina, we know how to fight but we're not like as good as your friends are at fighting." Samantha chirped in and says "Right, our way of fighting is sort of boring and a bit slow paced. Are you sure you can help us become better fighters?" Tralina tapped her left index finger against her chin and says "No, not really but I know someone who can." Samanatha tapped her feet on the ground a few times and asks "Who is it?" Victoria was very interested in this. She crossed her legs and paid close attention to Tralina's following words. "His name is Trayvon Nimakaze but he won't be here until a few more hours from now. I suppose I can try and force him out here." Samantha and Victoria exchanged looks with one another and says "Force him out? Tralina your acting like he's a completely different person from you or something." said Samantha. Victoria yawned a bit and says "Exactly, in case you forgot but you and Trayvon are the same person girl." Tralina giggled for a bit and laughed "Of course we are. I'm just saying that." Tralina looked over at the clock and the time said '7:35pm'.

Samantha yawned a but but she didn't start drifting off to sleep. She got up off the couch and started walking to the bathroom saying "I'm going to take a shower than turn in early girls. Is that okay?" Victoria shook her head in a small circle while saying "Yeeess. You can do whatever you please girl, don't worry, we won't do anything bad." Tralina didn't say anything until she heard the bathroom door close and soon after she heard water running. Victoria looked at Tralina as she played with her feet by crossing and uncrossing them multiple times. "Soo.." said Victoria in a bored manner "What are we going to do?" Tralina bent over a bit and grabbed the remote controller off the small table in front of them and says. "You can watch television for a while. I gotta do something." she turned on the television and turned to twenty four hours to hell and back. Victoria slumped down in the couch and replies "Are you going to tell me where you're going or not?" Tralina was silent for a while. "Tralina..?" Victoria looked over at her friend and saw she was fast asleep. Victoria smiled a light smile at her and says lowly "You're always trying to have back up plans Trayvon. Maybe that's why they didn't fear being captured." Tralina stirred in her sleep a bit. Samantha continued showering in the bathroom while singing a song to herself in a mono tone. She guided the soapy towel down her arms then down her legs and up to her chest. twenty minutes had passed and Samantha had emerged from the bathroom wearing her pajamas."Hey Victoria, are you girls still here?" she slowly made her way to the living room just as Victoria was walking to her smiling "Of course we're still here. I'm going to go take a shower now and Tralina is sleeping on the couch." Samantha moved to her right side to let Victoria pass her. She walked to the living room and sat down on the couch in the exac same spot Victoria were sitting in not too long ago.

Samantha looked at the television just as she heard the shower running in the bathroom. "Hmm.." she hummed to herself while looking over at Tralina's phone that was on the charger but her phone screen had been unlocked. Her eyes darted over to Tralina's sleeping form and back to her phone she reached for it and grabbed it. "This is so wrong.." Samantha didn't have any doubts that Tralina were the leader of The Ultimate Team but she just wanted a little more proof than magic shows such as turning into a girl and some kind of super speed. For all she knows this could be an enemy who might kill them sooner or later. "Okay, Okay Samantha, get a grip. I'll just scroll through a few photos." She went to google photos and saw a total of seventeen thousand pictures loading up. "Whoa.. so many pictures in one phone. How can she still have space available?" She clicked on a picture from 2015. There's a small group with four friends in it. One was a tall light skin boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, he wore blue jeans and a grey shirt. He was holding hands with a light skin girl who was a bit shorter than he was. She had long honey dew hair with grey eyes. Her face wasn't really long it was that of a seventeen years old. She wore a pink shirt with a black jacket and black jeans. There was another girl who resembled the first girl. The difference was she had black hair and green eyes. her out fit was mostly purple and black. Lastly there was another boy who was just as tall as the first. He was black with dark brown eyes and a mini afro, he wore light blue jeans with a black shirt and a black jacket as well. He had a T shaped chain around his neck and he looked about seventeen as well. She noticed his chain was Silver and not Bronze like Tralina's. "The first guy must be Jefferrey and the girl holding his hand has to be Kate and that other girl is.. her sister? And this boy.. this is Trayvon Nimakaze.. his chain is silver..so..why is Tralina's necklace silver?" Samantha closed google photos and sat Tralina's phone back on the charger. Jyuubi had materialized in her spirit form next to the sleeping Tralina. In spirit form only Trayvon could see and hear her.

Jyuubi looked at Tralina's necklace and says "That's a good question Samantha. Why did his chain turn Bronze after all these years..?" Jyuubi bent down next to Tralina and says "You're something else you know that? I just wanted you to know that." Jyuubi dematerialized back inside Tralina. Tralina saw nothing but darkness as she slept. "...mmm.." She moaned a bit in her sleep before a light came flooding in the darkness making it a bit lighter. "Where is that light coming from..?" she said to herself. Tralina turned to her right and saw another version of herself except this one was covered in a blue and white power. Her skin was blue and her eyes were pure glowing white and her outing around her head, arms and toes had a white glow to it as well. You could see a light dark shadow beneath the blue. "What.. is that..?" Tralina stared at this form for quite sometime before it turned to a golden color with the same white energy as before in the same place. "It's gold now? What kind of-" Tralina stopped talking when the gold form glowed even brighter and soon after another person showed up. Tralina looked past this golden form being and saw a man. He was six feet tall and wore similar colors to her clothing as her and he too had the T shaped chain and his was Bronze. Tralina smiled softly when she realized who it was. Tralina's golden form disappeared and the room turned into a grass field with an aple tree and a burning sunset in the sky. The boy sat under the apple tree holding a notebook while writing with his left hand with a pen. Tralina stood about forty three feet away from the man. She walked over towards him and says "Excuse me, are you Trayvon Nimakaze?" Trayvon stopped writing in his notebook and looked up at the beautiful girl before him and smiled. Yes, I am. I'm guessing your Tralina Nimakaze. you strayed away from my control and started becoming your own person I see." Tralina laughed awkwardly before sitting down next to him. "Sorry about that" she began "I just wasn't digging how so ungirly b ut I want to thank you for making this form my main form." Trayvon sat his notebook down on his lap, he put the pen down as well and says "What can I say, I just had a feeling this would have worked. concidering we're the same person." Tralina nodded and played with her Bronze T shaped necklace. She caught a glimpse of Trayvon's T shaped Bronze chain and asks "Why do we have these chains and necklaces for anyways?" Trayvon laughed a bit and gently picked his up in his hands. "Well Tralina, this chain is just important to me. I didn't want to have to take it off or anything so.. this was my conclusion." Tralina rested her head on Trayvon's shoulder, she yawned and says "That's nice. In a way we're like brother and sister. Siblings." Trayvon patted her hair gently and smiled a bit. "Maybe we are. Maybe we aren't. What's important is saving the team." Tralina started closing her eyes more as he talked. Trayvon saw this and sat still for her. He started glowing with a white light and within a flash he opened his eyes just as he sat up on the couch in the living room.

Samantha had uncovered her eyes just as she saw Trayvon sitting up and stretching his arms ariund several times. "This feels nice." Samantha kept watching him as he stretched his arms and stood up. Trayvon felt her eyes on him and asks "What's with the glare down?" Samantha licked her lips a bit and replies "Trayvon Nimakaze's chain is Silver.. but yours is Bronze.. why is that?" Trayvon blinked twice and replies "I wished I could tell you why my chain just suddenly turned Bronze on me. Maybe it's got something to do with being trapped in space." Samantha looked away from him not really wanting to disbelieve him but she just couldn't say he was lying. His speed and that sword made it all too clear who he was. Samantha's eyes darted around the room and she sighed a ittle before speaking. "Okay, I believe you. but, shouldn't we be making our move to Chicago or taking down the Visogaths to free the earth or something?" Trayvon stretched his arms a bit more. Victoria submerged from the bathroom a few moments later and she too was wearing pajamas. Trayvon shrugged his shoulders and says "I'll need to scout the rest of New Heaven, Ansonia before I start making my move. When I do that everything else will just be much more easier for me." Victoria walked closed while dryung her hair with a drying towel and says "Take us with you. We crave adventures and this one might just be what we're looking for." Samantha nodded her head in agreement and says "Victoria's right, we do like adventures. Please let us come with you? We promise not to be a burden on you, Trayvon." Trayvon crossed his arms and thought on it for a while before giving them an answer "Alright, fine. I'll take you two with me to Chicago but after I free my team you guys won't be allowed to contact me or my team though." Samantha bit her lower lip, she knew The Ultimate Team wasn't a drem team but this would mean saying good bye to him as well. Victoria gave a short nod before heading off to bed with Samantha going to her own room as well. Jyuubi materialized next to him and says "Are you sure bringing them is a good idea? What if they get K.I.A?" Trayvon smiled at her and replies "That won't happen. Not on my watch." Jyuubi crossed her arms and shot him a scolding look and says "Let's just get the recon done kid." Trayvon walked out the front door thus locking it back behind him. He tapped his feet on the ground and started walking out the yard with Jyuubi close by him.
