?'s POV

I stood in a ally way, waiting for a friend. "Ugh, where issss sssshe?!" I yelled. A cloaked figure stepped from the shadows, his hands clutching at his long sleeve brown shirt. His dark blue jeans swaying as he walked. "Going assss Tron today?" I asked. "Shut up and put this watch on." He handed me a watch that looked like his. I put it on. Not feeling any different, I looked in a broken window near me. I gasped, running my hand through my spiky lavender hair. A little red on the tips. I looked at my hands, realizing they were covered in pale skin instead of lavender scales. I was wearing a black shirt with white shorts. My hazel eyes sparkled, and I looked at my black sneakers. "Dude! Thisssss isss awessssome!" He chuckled. "Come on, let's go find those stray snakes." I nodded and we both walked to an ally a few streets away. Tron flipped his hood down, revealing that his emerald eyes were now a bright green and his blue hair was now multi colored. "What'ssss with the hair?" I chuckled. "Shut it Lance." Tron said as we turned into the new ally. We saw some stray snakes. Tron pounded his fist in his hand and punched a Fangprye scout. I joined in.

Lloyd's POV

Since Tori hadn't messaged me for a few days, I decided to take a walk. I heard someone scream in pain from an ally and I quickened my pace to find them. I saw a cloaked figure and a boy with lavender hair fighting snakes. A Constricti soldier sat in a corner, moaning. The cloaked figure whipped into a green and white tornado. "Tron?!" I thought. The two boys high-fived. The cloaked one took off his hood. He didn't look like Tron so I stepped forward. He turned to me. "Lloyd! Is that you?!" I nodded. "Tron! Who's your friend?" Tron looked at him. "Oh, Lance, this is my old roommate Lloyd. Lloyd, this is my newest cadet, Lance." "Cadet?" "Well, I've been finding people to help me save some kids from abusive places. Or just mean people. Lance here is really good 'cause of his power." Lance smirked, before he disappeared. "Whoa! Where'd he go?" He reappeared, still smirking. "It'ssss niccce to meet you." he said. I nodded. Tron looked at his watch, "Oh, sorry Lloyd! We've got to go!" the two run off. I frowned and walked back to the Bounty. "He didn't even give me an address!"

Tori's POV

Phew, that was close! "Why didn't we sssstay longer?" Lance asked. I set me watch on 'Tori'. "Look, Lloyd thinks I'm a guy from boarding school. To be truthful, I've been chatting with him and he doesn't even know he's seen me before!" "Ssssso?" "Dude, my youngest and last brother just died, and I'm under pressure 'cause every time I see my bullies from high school they attack me with words and fists. Add in keeping a secret from your best friend does not make it better." "Ya, but-" "Look, I don't have a choice. I've just gotta keep my head up is all." He nodded and we walked in silence to his home in the forest.
