Thoughts

Flashbacks (Future references mainly)

Zero and his life-long friend Blake, just got a note from the mayor of the small town. The note inside was issued from One, Global Cortex, the other was Nerves Concord. They were tired and went on home to take a look at what was inside.

Okay...I know you said it should have been a corporate representative, but this was a very small time town that everything was practically within a 15 minute drive perimeter.

Enough talk! I don't own anything but a few characters, the ACs, and the plot.

"My god! Blake you need to be more careful with your keys! This is the eighth time this week!", Lance said getting tired of having to crawl through the window every time they come home.

"Alright Z, I'll try to take better care with my new set!"

"Yeah but you haven't spent a fortune getting the keys and you haven't paid me back either! I'll have to sick Midnight on ya again if you don't!" Lance said as he looked satanically at Blake.

"Oh no! you don't have to do that again! I still remember how much it sunk me just because you wanted to put on a show for the public!" Blake also added in, "A two minute show might I add..."

"Yeah but you were stupid or may I say DRUNK enough to accept it!"

"How come you always get the best of me in everything?" Blake said tiredly.

"Oh I just remembered the notes we got! lets see what they say."

Lance and Blake remembered that the Mayor said these notes were very important, so they promised themselves that they would consider it very seriously. Once they opened the letters, they were shocked at what they both had saw.

Blake was the first one to speak. "Wow! I was just asked to join Nerves Concord! One of the people that recommended me was my cousin, Pendulem!"

"I'm glad that you are happy with what you are asked to join, but we're going to have to go our separate ways from here on. I was asked by Global Cortex and the Raven that recommended me wants an exhibition match as soon as I get there!" Lance was becoming very nervous because of the name he saw.

"Aww come on Z! It isn't like it's Ace or so- oh. I see. I wish you the best of luck man, your going to need it!" Blake was shaking as well, he was kinda happy that he is not in his friends shoes but is sad because of who Lance was going to face. He quickly shook it off though, he knew how talented Lance was.

"Thanks, man!" They went on to bed with high hopes and sadness on their minds.

The next mourning they got their stuff together and and decided to take one last look at their home town.

"I'll miss this old place!" Blake said, but then added, "But I am kinda glad to go!"

"Now why would you say something like that Blake?"

"Because this place is halfway polluted, the water is deadly, all we get around here is our houses, we have to strive for a living, and... must I say more?" Blake said waiting for an answer.

"Well I guess I can't say a thing this time, you win." "Alright! I out smarted you!" Blake Blurted out not thinking.

Lance added slickly, "But remember, it is still one to one million!"

"Well ruin my second of happiness why don't ya? I don't care, I still have ONE point!" Blake said turning his head.

"Haha. Well I guess this is where we split, remember, we will always write back and forth to each other explaining about what we did during the day, alright?"

"Alright!" Blake said happily.

Being the good friends they are, they hugged each other and went their separate ways.
