Chapter 2: Moving Again

After the whole incedent with the three strangers, they never appeared again for three years. And by then, something bad happened. Something terrible.

Ceylan, Toxsa, Chooki, Gen, and Beni were at their old hangout spot, the playground. It was perfect as no one was ever there. That way, they can privately talk about Quarton.

Ceylan was the first to notice that Guren was just walking there, not even rushing. Ceylan always remembered how Guren would always come shouting, "Hey, guys!"

Today, Guren didn't seem to notice them. He took his time getting there. His eyes were downcast.

Toxsa aked Guren, "Hey dude. What's up?"

Guren, not looking up, said, "I'm moving to America." (AN: Because it's anime, I assume the TKs live in Japan or something.) He looked up and said, "I'm not coming back."

Ceylan's mouth hung open. Toxsa let out a gasp. Chooki and Gen looked genuinley sad. Beni looked up.

"Look guys, unless a miracle happens, I trust you guys can protect Quarton."

Ceylan came up and clapped Guren on the shoulder. He said, "Don't worry man. We got this."

Toxsa followed suit and said, "It'll be easy as level one on Doomsploder!" (AN: Doomsploder=DOOM)

"We'll take the game." Chooki added.

Gen just smiled and said, "Good luck out there."

Guren smiled and said, "Thanks guys."

He looked at Beni, expecting her to say something. Beni just said, "What they said."

Warm and fuzzy. Guren thought.

He thanked his friends and went home. He packed up. He didn't want to leave, yet he had to.

"Ain't you lucky, Max." he said to his cat.

"Meow."

At Vilius' fortress

"I PAY YOU FOR YOUR HELP, YET YOU THREE DO NOTHING!" Vilius yelled at the three renegades.

Deadclops snorted and said, "We have... things to do."

"Like what?!"

Darkoid replied, "Trying to get elemental."

"Which we are." Firecorn finished.

"Good." Vilius said. "You'd better be, and your renegades better be ready to fight."
