I do not own anything Only my characters and Jason's DITE forms.

That morning, after the sun had risen, I walked to my Platoon 17's locker room, then into the mission room, the second I walked in I wish I hadn't." Good morning." Savaris said from the table, where he was eating a doughnut. Next to him sat Layfon, Niina, Sharnid, Felli, and Harley." Good morning." I forced a smile, sitting down and letting my pack sit next to me." I'm sure you heard, our battle was not conclusive." Savaris stated." Yes, I heard." I put my head on the table, not looking at anyone, I didn't want to." And I'm sure you know Recon was activated." " Yes." " And that those warriors beat the fool out of me, I still have a major sun burn."

" I know, I'm sorry, but in my defense. You know Recon unlocks full powers, and you and Layfe should have entered the shut down code." I said, still looking down." Well, you know you shouldn't push your Kai so hard. That's why Recon was activated, not that you were injured badly. Recon felt the Kai overload and shut you body down, medic only was released to cool you down and keep your Kai stable." " I know, I just didn't want to have to leave here, I knew if I lost, I'd have to transfer to Glendan, and I didn't wish to leave here." I mumbled into the table.

" That is no excuse, you know you could die if you are to overloaded, we didn't enter the shut down code because the Medics here couldn't have stablized your Kai type, especially with you that overloaded." I nodded, I could feel Niina, Sharnid, and Felli looking at me." And I know I have explaining to do." I said, glancing up at them." Harley told us, but I'm not sure I understand, I mean I understand the Elemental Kai, I've heard of it before, one of my cousins had it, he died at the age of 3." Niina said." What I don't understand is, why didn't you tell us?"

I looked up, my cheeks had tear stains on them." Because, I was under oath. I promised I wouldn't tell anyone, I only told Harley cause I knew he wouldn't tell anyone, unless I said he could. I couldn't keep it from everyone, and I needed someone I could talk to if I thought something was wrong. I knew if I told Layfe, he would freak and tell the Heaven's Blades. All my life, people have worried about me, worried that I might die, like all the ones before me." I said, before grabbing my pack and DITE. I frowned one last time, before I ran from the room.

I dashed down the hall, tears flowing from my eyes." Suit Activate!" I yelled, holding out my DITE. Once my suit was on, I activated my helmet and ran to the edge of the city, I stood at the dome barrier, looking at the outside world, I sighed." Restoration 05! Wind Staff!" My staff formed in my hand, and I could tell the others were running after me, yelling to stop." I'm sorry." I said, before jumping out of the barrier, right before hitting the ground I yelled." Magic Beam! Destination! Rachel Wesmont! Thesaus!" I felt my body glow, a blue light incased me and I saw the others at the edge of the dome, calling my name, Layfon jumped out of the barrier, activating his rope weapon. He tried to hook onto to me, but I had already flown away.

I flew through the barrier of Theasus, below me, the wreckage of the battle was spread across downtown. I flew towards the college, and the dorms. Finally I saw Rachel, along with her brothers, sisters, and friends. I began descending, wiping my tears away, and scaring the hell out of the traffic. I finally landed infront of the group, I believe I surprised them, seeing how they screamed and jumped about 3 feet." Oh calm down, it's just me." I said, as the light faded." Jason?" Rachel looked confused." Hi." I said, as my DITE changed back.

Rachel hugged me." What are you doing here?" " I had a fight with my platoon." " What kind of fight?" " A bad one." " Oh." " Ya, so I came here, but I won't be here long, Layfe will probably be here in a few days, once he finds out where I am. I don't think he heard my destation, but he'll find me." " Does it have anything to do with this month's battle?" " Alot actually." Rachel know about my Kai type, she is my bestfriend after all, I told her before the Heaven's Blades found out, and I had to beg for them not to erase her memories." Aw." She hugged me tighter, leading me the other way." Where are we going?" " My dorm room." " But you have class." " No, I have to stay with you."

I sat on Rachel's bed, she had asked her sister, Brooke, to go to the office and say she was sick, of course Brooke did not comply, but after Rachel cried for 10 minutes straight( the girl has amazing lungs) Brooke gave in, mumbling something about how she would get sick if she kept crying." I find it completely rude that they force you to do something that could kill you." Rachel said, as she handed me a cupcake from the box on the counter." They only do it cause I refuse to stay in Glendan." " And I totally understand why you don't want to be there. I mean, I wouldn't either if I knew I'd be under full survallince and training, never able to leave. Always watched by everyone, especially in a Regio that is under constant attack." Rach agreed as she sat on Brooke's bed, eating her cupcake." Exactally why I don't want to be there, but I can't keep fighting them, I'm going to kill myself, my Kai needs a long time to cool down, and after the attack here, I had only a week to cool down before the fight, now it's been 2 weeks after the battle, and I feel awful, I'll probably get yelled at when Layfe finds me, telling me I know better than to transport when under that much stress, but I couldn't help it. He knows that Elemental Kai users can't control their temper very well, when I was a kid, and I fought him during training battles, I had to have a cup of ice near me, if I felt my temper rise, I had to chew a piece of the ice, letting it cool down before I fought again."

After the school day had ended, Brooke entered the room, her pack was stuffed with homework and her arms were full of Rachel's." Hey sis, here's your homework." Brooke said, dropping it into Rachel's lap, making Rachel fall backwards to keep it from falling on the floor." Oof!" I stared at the pile of books burying the girl." Oh, that's sad, I have less homework than that, and I live in an Academic Regio." I said, before getting up and helping Rachel gather the books and put them on her desk." I better get to work." She said, straching the back of her head and smiling.

4 Days Later

I sat on the couch in Rachel and Brooke's room, flipping through TV channels, I had been here ever since the fight. Today, Brooke and I had convinced Rachel to go to school, much to Rachel's dismay. The sad thing was, it took longer to get her up than out the door, I had to use the trident. I finally stopped as someone knocked on the door. I got up, looked at my self in the mirror, I looked fine, but it didn't hurt to check, and opened the door.

It was the dorm advisor, I let out a breath, at least it wasn't Layfe." Oh, it's you." " Well, of course it's me, it's the middle of the day, everyone's in class." " You mean Rachel isn't here?" " No, Brooke and I convinced her to go to class, well, if you count spraying her in the face with a trident convincing her." " Whatever, I have a letter for you, it's from you're brother, he must really want to find you, the mail room said he sent one to every Regio, if anyone saw you, they were supposed to give you it." She said, handing me a letter, a stamp with two swords making an 'X' behind a shield with a 17 on it, sat in the corner, the official mark of platoon 17." Thanks." I forced a smile." Don't worry, I didn't tell him you were here, I thought I'd let you decide wether or not you told him." I nodded, before she walked off, and I closed the door.

I sat on the couch, turning off the TV. I opened the envolope and slid out a letter.

' Dear Jason,

If you are reading this, that means you're in a Regio, at least you're not roaming outside, like Sharnid thought.

Anyway, everyone has been worried sick about you. The Heaven's Blades wanted to send a search party, but I convinced them not to, at least for now. As you read this, we will be waiting for your reply.

If you decide to reply, you have the option of staying at the current Regio you are in, or coming back here.

If you do not reply, or we have not recived one by June 13, The Heaven's Blades will send Savaris to every Regio, until he finds you, but he will have orders to forcefully bring you back.

Queen Alsheyra wants to note If you do send a reply, saying you want to stay where you are, she will not send a Heaven's Blade.

She has made it clear that you have a choice, and she will respect that. But she at least wants to know you're safe.

~Layfon Alsief, The Heaven's Blades, and Platoon 17'

I sighed, I knew he would try to find me, but sending a letter to every Regio? I didn't expect that, I surely didn't expect The Heaven's Blade's to sign as well, it even had the Royal Family crest, meaning Queen Alsheyra would honor her word. I finally grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil.

' Dear Layfe, and anyone who also reads this.

Yes, I am in a Regio, no I shall not say which, and to just be sure, I will send this with my staff, no stamp, no address, nothing. So if that was you plan, to bad, I'm smarter than I look. And by that, you must have guessed, I do not wish to be found, if I change my mind, which is unlikely, I will tell you. If you try to find me, I shall direct you back onto the Royal Family crest, which you and i both know, it means you shall honor your word, and if you choose to break it, you will suffer the consquences. If you do find where I am, and send anyone to forcefully retrive me, I will activate Recon, and if you don't remember how hard they can hurt, refer to Savaris.

I promise you, I am safe, I can take care of myself, I am with friends, that I will say, seeing as I have friends in ALL Regios. Don't even think about sending one of these dumb letters to the officails of all Regios, I am much more careful than you may think.

Queen Alsheyra, if you read this, I know by the crest, you will honor your word, you, I trust. It is everyone else I do not. As we both know, the crest represents that the Heaven's Blades cannot do anything, that does not include Layfe or the rest of my Platoon.

This is for my brother only. Layfon, I am truly sorry, I know I can't control my temper, but this has nothing to do with my temper, this is somoly because you do not trust that I can control my Kai, unlike you. And tell Harley, mother will be sending a few parts for your DITE, so it won't burn out.

~Jason Alseif.'

I looked at my letter, before adding a small note at the bottom. I stood." Restoration, 05." I held out the staff." Air, take this note to my brother, but do not leave any trace of where I am, once you have delievered it, send a signal to Felli, and send this message along with it, but only tell this to Felli, do not tell anyone else."

Sorry if it's shorter than some expected, this is what I wrote today when our power was out. Luckily I had a full battery charge, and now it's back on so I can post it, I'll right more soon.
