Heart Ache P.1

It was late one night in the car impound lot when a black fog came rolling in and surrounding the cars. Within seconds the fog disappeared then the engines started roaring and the headlights were glowing bright red.

In Class

Mrs. Hertz had already introduced Spike, Lance, Erin, and Fang. Spike and Erin sat beside on another with Fang under the table. Lance sat next to Emily and seemed to really enjoy it. 20 minutes later Fang put his paws on Erin's lap and started to whimper. "Erin do you need to go to the infirmary?" Mrs. Hertz asked. Erin nodded. "Well go on and Leo go with her." "Please call me Spike." Spike said. "GO!" Mrs. Hertz yelled. Erin whistled and Fang came trotting after them. "What's going on?" Yumi wondered.

Infront of the soccer field

"Hang in their Erin we're almost there." Spike said. But just after Spike spoke Erin stopped dead in her tracks slowly went down to one knee holding her chest (The side the heart is on) and groaned a little. "Oh boy oh boy Fang infirmary go boy go." Spike said panicking a little. Fang bolted to the infirmary as Spike got down with Erin. "It's going to be Okay Erin." Spike said. Everyone had seen what was going on and had rushed over. "GET AWAY LET HER BEATH!" Spike shouted. Everyone had backed away but Ulrick, Odd, and Jeremy. "What's wrong with her?" Odd asked. Just then the nurse came running up with Fang. She handed Spike a needle he flicked it a few times then stuck it in her shoulder injecting the liquid into her body. Soon after she fell into Spike's arms. He picked her up and walked to the infirmary.

After School

Spike laid outside under a tree watching the clouds roll by. "Spike! Hey Spike ya out here!" Lance called. Spike walked up to him. "You're looking a little down in the dumps bro." Lance said noting Spike's facial expression said it all. Spike sighed and looked over to the building the infirmary was in. "Come on Spike you've known her for 7 or 8 years now. You knew this would happen." Lance said "It doesn't make it any easier." Spike replied. "(Sigh) Hey look Ulrich's practicing his soccer game and Odd and I are tired. Would you mind playing with Ulrich for a while?" Lance asked. Spike sighed and followed Lance to the soccer field. "Hey … here comes … the cavalry." Odd said panting. "So you got some competition for me?" Ulrich asked. "Ya Spike's all right." Lance replied.

1 Hr. Later

Ulrich and Spike were both dripping with sweat and panting. "All right get dried off and go take Yumi home." Said Lance tossing them a towel.

Walking To Yumi's House

"Spike your pretty good have you ever considered playing on a team?" Yumi asked. "Nah I don't like the whole competition thing." Spike replied. "So ah what was wrong with Erin?" Ulrich asked. "(Sigh) Erin has a heart problem, it's caused by a traumatic experience some time when your young say 4 to 8. Her heart exhilarates for no apparent reason and her body simply can't keep up with it." He said sadly. "What was her traumatic experience?" Yumi asked. "She can't remember, and she doesn't me to tell her." He replied. Just then they heard the roar of a motorcycle. They turned to see a rider in all black the face shield on his helmet was tinted black (They couldn't see his face). The rider stuck out his hand and snatched up Yumi as he rode by. "YUMI!" Ulrich yelled as he and Spike raced after them. "Let me go ya creep!" Yumi shouted while straggling in the rider's grasp. "I said let go!" She said as she kicked him in the helmet. The kick caused him to let go of Yumi and lose control of his bike causing him to fall off. Yumi got up and walked to the boys. The rider also got up and picked up an ax that had been attached to his bike till the spill. The boys saw that Yumi was disoriented from the fall and in no condition to fight. "Yumi run…" Ulrich started. "He's after you we'll hold him off." Spike finished pulling out thick metal gloves with claws coming out of the fingertips. "Ulrich you okay fighting without a weapon?" Spike asked. "Ya" Ulrich replied. The rider chuckled to himself "You better stay with your girlfriend boy." He said pointing to Yumi. Ulrich looked back just in time to see Yumi get hit by a car (no one was in the car). Instinctively Ulrich ran towards the now unconscious Yumi. "GUARD HER!" The rider yelled. Just then cars, trucks, vans (ect.) surrounded Yumi, not letting Ulrich get to her. "Keep trying Ulrich I'll take care of this hack!" Spike yelled spreading his fingers out ready to dig his claws into his opponent. Spike charged, as did the rider with there weapons raised. The rider was the first to attack. "How can he move so fast?" Spike wondered considering the ax was about half the size of the man using it.

In the infirmary

Erin awoke on the bed in the infirmary. "That was one for the record books." She groaned. Erin looked around all she saw was Fang laying at the end of the bed. Dorothy walked in "Leo's not here." She said. "I've gotten so used to him being right next to me after one of these attacks." Erin replied. "He didn't want to leave I had to get Jim to make him go. You must really love each other." She said. Erin shook her head "I am incapable of such emotions, and he knows it." She said. Erin got up called Fang and started to walk out the door. "Are you sure your able to go?" Dorothy asked. "I'm used to it." Erin replied not turning around.

With the others

Spike was out of breath from trying to slash his lightning fast opponent. "Hey at least your able to follow my movements." The rider taunted. "Ever sense I met Xana no one can catch me. They can't even see me, but ya know the ax kinda slows me down." In one foul swoop Spike stuck his claws into the side of the riders stomach. "How?" The rider asked. "You wouldn't shut up." Spike replied. "Now what is your connection with Xana?" The rider chuckled grabbed his ax and hit Spike with the broadside of it, the blow caused Spike to fly off of him. Spike got up only to see the rider running towards him at full speed. The rider jumped into the air and started to hack away at Spike's gloves (Spike was blocking all of the attacks). The ax continued to make dents in Spike's armor, until the ax broke through the armor and dug into Spike's hands. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Spike howled in pain. The rider took his chance and kicked Spike hard in the gut, throwing Spike into a sea of darkness.
