Olympus 15- Daughter of Hermes!-Kai stalks the streets at night, finding the gang of folks who attacked him, Dave and Demi a few days back. He finds them in a dark alleyway, trying to get by without their leader. "Without Don, wez just a bunch a chickens with our headz cut off. We need to do something!" "Why yes, you do." "OH NO! It's Kai!" They try to run as Kai slowly walks forward. "It's a dead end! He must've- you dirty little-" Kai runs up to him and grabs him by the collar. "I know this isn't all of you, where are the other two?" "They've gone awol, done, kaput, ever since da Don bit the bullet to that little bitch." "Is that so? My deepest condolences. Now I came here to give you guys something, what was it? Oh yeah!" Kai punches him right into the wall, kicking him in the throat while the three other gang members try and attack him. "Now I thought I had a rep around here, guess I need to reassert it." He turns his foot from the lead gangsters throat to roundhouse kick the other's around him as he simply throws one guy into the wall and kicks another to the ground face first into concrete. He then catches the leader trying to flee and twists his arm back, pushing him several times into the wall, leaving his face broken and bleeding. "Please, have mercy!" "Mercy. Like what you showed me when I was feeling under the weather? Or when my friend was just trying to get me out of there, and you proceeded to punch his lights out for kicks, am I right? You seem to have a pretty flexible view of what mercy is. I can relate, I think the same way!" He kicks the leader in the gut and then kicks his head into the wall one more time, knocking him out cold as it starts raining. "New bossman is down, we oughta run!" "Not so fast boys. You forgot yours." Kai then kicks one guy on his head into the nearby wall and knees another guy right on his bare teeth, breaking one. He grabs one guy and jabs him while holding his head, throwing him to the ground. The last guy standing tries to counterattack but he's stopped mid punch, knee'd in the stomach, elbowed in the back and curbstomped. "Now, if I ever catch you trying to hurt any of my friends again I can assure I won't hold back, you hear?"

Kai leaves with a smile on his face as Hera see's him walking away and glares. "What the hell was that?" "I decided to get some payback at the lowlifes who-" "What you did was brutalize them." "Relax, I've had fare worse done to me. Besides, I can't just let them attack Dave or Demi again." "Still, you can't be doing stuff like this in your everyday life." "Stuff like that was my everyday life. It felt great to finally be able to let loose a little, and now I had some motivation." "I take it you must really care about Dave, right?" "He's just a teammate. He's better than me in a lot of things, and vice-versa. We watch each others back, that's all." "Uh-huh, and you must really care about Demi then, right?" Kai starts blushing and tries to avoid the question. "You know you can't run away from your feelings forever Kai, I thought you learned this." "I know I can't do everything on my own. It's just, I don't want to lose sight of who I really am. Kai, the toughest guy in Tokyo. People knew and feared me, and it felt great. I got treated like a King by every street urchin I found. My rep superceded me. A strong guy like me doesn't need close friends. We're business partners, like a gang." "I take it Jamarah was a business partner as well?" "Oh, well, that's, umm-" "Just admit that you're at least warming up to us, ok? I kind of see when your bravado is acting up." "Shut up." "That's your answer to when someone is telling the truth, am I right?" Kai walks off. "You know, you could spend the night at Olympi, right? It's-" thunder starts booming as she speaks "kind of raining, so why not just come indoors." Kai, drenched and a bit cold, agrees. "Fine."

Back at Olympi, Hera is watching TV set up by Amy for her to watch at night. Kai is sitting on the team couch with a blanket soaking wet with coffee. A commercial pops up that catches Kai's interesting. "Coming to Tokyo, Japan, the international roller skating grand prix will be taking place in Yoyogi Park! Can anyone defeat the undisputed Champion Bayley? Find out Saturday at 11:30 am! Check your local cable listings for the televised event. Tickets on sale till tomorrow at noon." Kai is intrigued by it but tries to not let Hera see it. "Oh, I see, You like rollerskating." "Yes. I actually do kind of like rollerskating." "That Bayley girl sure looked pretty, don't you think?" Kai is staring into space as he tries to rewind and see her again. "I thought so. Maybe you could impress her." "What? I don't know the first thing about her." "Well, it says she's going to be hanging out around Japan tomorrow, perhaps instead of trailing Demi all day, you could go find her and see if you could impress her." "I've never rollerskated before in my life." "Well, I suppose you could use your magnetic personality to convince her to teach you." Hera smirks as Kai responds. "Real funny." "Relax. It's nice to know your not interested in fighting all the time. Maybe it will give you something to do, get some structure in your life." "How do you know how to make Coffee?" "I've been watching it on TV." "What do you watch usually on TV?" "I like to watch cooking shows and these wonderful dramas. Beautiful Rain is a wonderful show about a single dad and his daughter, I also love-" "I get the gist. Anyway, I've been honing my skills." "You have?" "I've learned a cool new trick. I'll show it to the others tomorrow." "Is it astral projection?" "Sort of. I can make a ghost appear for a short period of time." "Why not show me first." "Ok." He concentrates as a ghost pops out of his chest, resembling Jamarah. "Wow, that was cool. Hey Kai, I'm a ghost." "Yeah, its a demonstration. Also I wanted to say thank you for everything Jamarah. Without your help I'd be getting nowhere in the underworld." "Hey, no sweat. It's just cool how you could do this."

Back at Mt. Olympus, Chronos chastises Tetsu and Typhon. "Because of your titanic egos, we've not only kept the Joutenger's together, but now they have extra powers." Asteria looks on in slight satisfaction, smirking at the two next to Chronos. "You're not off the hook either Asteria." "But Lord Chronos!" "Sir, if I may?" "Yes Tetsu." "I say we go for more of a fast approach. Something that can blur the Joutengers. It's just about the only strategy we haven't tried. If it's ok with you." Chronos contemplates a bit as he sits back down on the throne. "I love the idea. Asteria, find him a creature." "At once, Lord Chronos!" A strong Minotaur looking creature emerges from Asteria's magic spell. "This is the Cretan Bull, a powerful creature of high speeds. His mix of speed and power should be more than enough to put down the Joutengers." "Excellent, make sure it happens. I trust you will lead it there, Tetsu?" "Of course Chronos." Typhon gets a bit offended. "Hey, you refer to him as Lord, do you understand-" Chronos raises his hand with a grin. "No need to yell at him over that, am I right Typhon?" "You're right sir." "You're foul temper has gotten the better of you, as well as your pride. Until you can learn to behave, you're staying put." "Yes Lord Chronos."

The next morning, instead of trailing Demi to the dance studio, Kai takes a stroll down to Yoyogi park where he meets Dave going on a walk with Sara. "Dave?" "Oh, hey Kai. What brings you here?" "I'm looking for Bayley, you wouldn't happen to know where she is?" Sara interjects. "Let me see." She uses deep concentration to find a vision of Bayley. "She's a quarter of a mile going to your left. Good luck Kai." "Thanks, I appreciate it." As Kai walks away Sara says "He wasn't that bad. He might just have a bad rep."

Kai approaches Bayley as she's practicing her routine. "Hello, could I help you?" "Oh, you're Bayley, right?" "It's on my birth certificate. Why do you ask?" "I know this will sound weird, but-" All of a sudden a man came running with a few cops. "That's her officer." Bayley quickly whispered to Kai "I'll totally owe you one if you help me with this, k?" "Sure." The cops approach Kai. "Well, if it isn't Kai, little tough guy. Ah, how's it goin son?" "I take it from your recent lack of warrants that you've cleaned up your act. Good for you son." "We're looking for a woman, she was just here." "Could you tell us what direction she went?" Kai pointed to the right of the park while he knew Bayley ran to the left of the fork in the road. He walks down the left path to see if he could find her. "Thanks for having my back there man." "Are you sure you're Bayl-" "I know, it's strange. But I did do what they accused me of." "What would that be? Littering?" "No, I stole that old man's wallet. The sucker is loaded." "Cue me if I'm wrong, but you're the undisputed roller skate champion." "Mhm." "Don't you get like 100,000 dollars a race?" "I don't steal for myself. Come with me." "Ok. Oh by the way, my name is Kai." "Again, I can't thank you enough for not ratting on me back there." "Relax. A man never rats. Ever. How did you bail out that fast?" "It's a very long story, you wouldn't want to hear it." "Is it gonna be a long walk?" "A few minutes." "I'm all ears." "Well, you see, my father is-" "Let me guess. Greek God?" Bayley gives him a punch on the arm. "DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD!" "Relax. I'm in the same boat." "You're a Demi God too?" "Yeah. My bastard father is Hades, who's yours?" "Hermes. He gave me some super speed and the ability to speak every language on earth. He is the messenger god." "You have super speed?" "Shocking I know." "That explains why you win all your races." "I'd never use that for my races. What's the point of competition if you're gonna cheat?" "Don't you want to win at all cost?" "Yeah I do, but Super Speed isn't exactly a shared trait by most humans. I love skating, I really do, so I refuse to destroy the integrity of the sport." "Yet with your integrity you robbed that old man dry." "You'll see why in a few minutes." "Why aren't there a bunch of people around you 24/7? Isn't that the celebrity treatment?" "I don't know, I guess roller skating isn't popular in Japan. I come from England, so I guess it's an east vs west thing."

Back in Olympi, the girls return from a hard day of Exams to Hera. "How's it going Hera?" "Kai is hanging out with someone today." The girls are floored by this news. "He actually has someone to talk to outside of us?" "I caught him beating up some thugs last night in the alleyway nearby. The same guys who attacked Dave." "How does this relate to the story?" "I'm getting to that Miki. Anyway, he slept at Olympi last night on account of the thunderstorm and he's going today to meet this Bayley girl." "I've heard of her." "You have?" "Yeah. Not only is she a really good roller skater, rumor has it she's also wanted in numerous countries for theft and avoiding arrest." "How the hell does she still go around the world with a record like that?" "I don't know, I guess she's getting kickbacks from the company that sponsors her." "So she's a criminal just like Kai, huh? This can't end well." "My question is why would she talk to Kai." "Beats me. It can't be his winning personality."

Back in the city, Bailey and Kai walk into a homeless shelter. Bailey walks up to a local receptionist. "I would like to donate this money to the services of these deprived people." "Thank you very much madam. You're charitable donation is much appreciated." They walk outside into an alley as Kai asks "You just gave them 500 bucks like that?" "Yeah." "Wouldn't you rather use that money for yourself?" "I've already earned enough money to make myself happy. People die on the streets everyday. The first time I saw extreme poverty, in Mumbai, I knew I had to do something about it. Wherever I go, I help the poor by extracting from the rich. I'll always donate most of my winnings to charity but I always hated how so many people with everything refuse to help those with nothing. Oh sorry, I must have bored you with that speech." "N-no, not at all. Anyway, I was going to ask, could you show me how to rollerskate?" "You wanted me to teach you that? Of course. I'll get a new pair for you tomorrow and we'll meet at the park at dawn, ok?" "Sure." Kai walks back to Olympi as a new monster appears in the city. Miki calls Kai on his godchanger. "Kai, we need your help at the plaza." "I'm on it."

Back at the city plaza, a man sized minotaur is attacking innocent civilians, accompanied by Tetsu. "Go, leave before you incur the wrath of the Cretan Bull." The bull, unable to speak, simply roars in excitement as he rams into buildings. "Hold it right there Titan Red." "Ah, JoutenYellow. It's a shame you Joutengers won't be able to put down my bull." "Oh yeah? 1-2-5 GOD CHANGE!" The five Joutengers morph as they charge at the bull, who deftly dodges their attacks, Miki going to fight Tetsu as the Bull charges at her with blistering speed. "What the-" "I assume you were coming for me? This should be fun. Cretan Bull, dispose of the rest." The bull snorts and uses his high speed to charge at Shun and Dave, knocking them down. "I could hardly see him, could you Dave?" "No. He moves like lightning." Kai tries running at Tetsu as the Bull rams into him by the sides, knocking him down. "I don't have time to deal with you, you stupid cow!" The bull gets angry and tries to stomp on him as Kai turns invisible. Dave notices the bull turning his gaze to Demi. "Watch out Demi!" Demi anticipates the bull and grabs him by the horns, holding her ground as the bull tries using his speed. Meanwhile, Miki is having a pitiful time defending herself against Tetsu, who has not let up on his attacks on her with his spear. "I figured you Joutengers would be much more adept at combat, but you're still novices." "Shut up." "Testy are we? Look at who's winning! You Joutengers are nothing but a roadblock to be paved over." Tetsu makes a hard slash at Miki's chest, knocking her back as Kai uses his invisibility to strike Tetsu at his leg with his stygian rock, bringing him to his knee as Kai tries to make a kick to Tetsu's head. Tetsu however anticipates the attack, grabs Kai's leg and slashes it, leaving Kai reeling on the ground. Meanwhile Demi is not only holding the bull, but also throws it hard at a nearby building as Kai starts reeling. "I'm coming." Tetsu gets up and speaks. "You got one good hit, I will admit that. But you constantly rely on the same tricks to win, it will never work again twice." "What is your deal?" "It's my duty to kill you all, only then will I get what I truly want." "What is that oh so marvelous evil genius?" Tetsu throws the spear at Shun but Dave kicks it to the side. "Thanks man, he sure is touchy." "Like I said before, you lot are merely a roadblock to my goals, the sooner you die the better. I'm not here to make you suffer. Things will go a lot more smoothly if you simply stop fighting." "Fat chance." "Very well then. Be warned, when I return, I will make sure you wish you were never born." "WAIT!"

Tetsu uses a red wing to return back to base as the group gets frustrated, Demi going to a wounded Kai. "Hold still." Kai, being his usual stubborn self, tries getting up. "I'm fine Demi-AAAAAH!" "Kai are you ok?" "I'm fine, just be a bit softer." Demi starts concentrating as the bull gets up, a bit delirious, and runs away. Miki is angered. "Can't believe that oversized hamburger got away." Shun asks "Yo Kai, how's your day going? I hear you don't have a LEG to stand on." Nobody is amused as Shun retreats slowly. "Man, who let the crickets in?" "My day is fine, mrmmrmrm-" "Hmm?" "THANKS FOR ASKING! GOD!" "You mean Dad?" "WOULD YOU STOP THAT!" "Both of you, quiet! I need concentration." "We need a plan of attack for that thing." "That will be tricky, the monster clearly has good reflexes to compliment that speed. We need to be able to keep up with him." "But without some kind of super treadmill, how could we ever begin to match that amount of speed?" "We'll just have to find another way." Kai's leg heals and he walks off. "Where are you going?" "None of your business!" Kai storms off as Shun comments on the situation. "Man, its great to have the old Kai back, right guys?" They demorph and glare at him. "Point taken." "Let's just get back to base." "Mhm." Miki breaks from the group to follow Kai

They run back to Olympi as Kai wanders the streets. "How can someone commit crimes and still be good? It just doesn't make sense. Whenever I saw someone get arrested it's because they were scum like me. I used to get arrested all the time. There weren't any good people in jail. It's so confusing." "Maybe life's just in a moral grey area." "What do you want? I don't follow you around where you walk." "True. I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. Hera told me about this girl you were meeting." "Grr. Fine. I'm hanging out with this celebrity tomorrow and she's teaching me how to rollerskate. Her name's Bayley Smith." "I've seen her before in magazines. She's extremely pretty. I wonder why she would go for such a messed up case like you." "Watch it." "Me and Amy did some research on the subject. It turns out she's wanted in numerous countries for theft. She ain't exactly a catch herself I guess." Kai just walks away. "Don't walk away from me." "You don't know anything about her, so just get out of here." "Is there something you're not telling me?" "Yeah, it's get lost or else." "That girl you're with is a criminal Kai. She's a master thief and a con artist. If she's going to be out committing crimes she'll use you as a shield-" "SHE WON'T!" "Are you so sure about that Kai? The girl has had over 100 accounts of theft in the past year alone. Do you really think that she is trustworthy?" "Yes I do. Now would you get lost before I have to make you leave?" "Defensive are we. You better not be breaking the law Kai. I heard from Hera what you did last night. Idk if Demi or Dave did." "I don't want to talk to you right now, could you please leave me alone." "I'm not going to let you get arrested and throw off the numbers on our team. This Bayley character is just using you Kai." "You don't know her story. It's not mine to tell." Kai turns invisible and tries to run. "Great, the big tough guy runs away from the important questions. Just to let you know, if you get arrested, we can't bail you out. You're stuck there." Miki walks away angry. "Why can't that blockhead see Bayley is a pretty face out to use him? All female criminals are like that, using their looks and charm to corrupt guys into doing their dirty work. I just wish Kai would see it."

Back at Olympi, Miki explains whats happening to the others. Shun is the first to respond. "So what?" "So what? That's all you have to say, so what?" Demi intercedes. "Miki, I think if we learned anything from Kai, it's that you can't judge a book by it's cover." Dave also replies "And especially Kai. He's been getting a lot better since the incident a couple of weeks ago. He's not acting like a jerk anymore, he's being more polite, by his standards of course, and he's being more open with us. You need to relax Miki. Maybe he found someone who finally makes him happy." "Yeah, but that person is a known criminal. We can't have him go back to his old life-" "Hold on there chief, you probably don't even know how she is." "I looked her up this afternoon, I know exactly how she is. She's a con artist and a charlatan." "Poor little Miki, always stuck in your old ways." Miki starts blushing. "Shut up." "If I didn't know any better, I'd say maybe there is just a teeny bit of-" Miki knees Shun in the stomach and Demi rushes to him. Dave responds. "She's right Shun, there isn't any sort of jealousy." "Would you stop doing that Dave, it's really creepy." "Sorry Miki." Demi says "At least Kai doesn't resort to violence when things don't go his way." "Shut up." "You need to seriously calm down. I trust Kai's instincts enough to know that he could have told she was a fake by this point. Get over yourself and apologize to him next time he comes in, ok? Now hold still Shun." "Demi, come on, I'm fine-gyaah! Man Miki, you sure have hard knees." "You know I don't take no for an answer, silly Shun." She heals him as Dave approaches Miki. "I understand your concerns. You don't want Kai getting into trouble and jeopardizing the mission. However, it's no excuse to prejudge people. I think we both know that." "But it's just, I can't even begin to imagine what he's going to do with that femme fatale-" "Relax Miki, there's no need to become irrational. You're our leader, you need to keep your composure." Miki takes a deep breath. "Maybe you guys are right. The job and school have been so stressful lately, I can't even see what's right in front of me. Thanks Dave. Sorry Shun." "It's all ok Miki. You'll always be my bestie." They knuckle pound each other as Hera watches on.

The next morning, at Dawn, Bayley and Kai go to the park to start her lesson. "Ok, the first step of roller skating is to keep balance. This is a key part of life and sports. Find your center." "Ok." "Think of everything in life that makes you happy and all the things that make you frustrated, and find who balances those two things out." "Ok." Kai starts thinking about memories with Dave and Hera while he starts getting frustrated thinking of moments of him and Shun and Miki. He then starts thinking of Demi and it calms him down. "I see your getting it right." "Yeah, there is the one person in my life that is able to do both so fluently." "I see. Now it's time to start moving. Normally you learn to crawl, then walk, then run. It's important to go step by step. Now, start moving one foot in front of the other." "Ok." He slips and falls on his ass. Bayley laughs a bit. "That wasn't supposed to happen." "Of course not. Keep doing it till you get it." He keeps slipping on the first step, quite a few dozen times, until his most recent try he starts getting really angry. "WHY ISN'T IT WORKING!?" "You can't force through this. You seem like the kind of guy who pushes his way through a wall instead of navigating the maze. You only go so far before your body gives out. You need to stop treating this like a contest." "I'm not treating it like a stupid contest-" "Then why are you getting frustrated when you fall? Who are you trying to beat? Are you trying to prove something to someone else? No one will look down on you just because you don't skate that well." "Shut up. I got this." "Ok there hot shot. Let's see this again." Kai is actually able to walk a few feet with his skates. "Good, now we'll start learning how to use your skates to dash." "Dash?" "Yeah. When I'm done with you, you'll be running circles around the cops, even without super speed." They continue their training, Kai falling even more than when he was walking. "Are you sure you're-" "I'M FINE! This is nothing compared to what I've been through." "Then why are you still frustrated?" "I keep failing, that's why. I've never flopped so many times in my life, I don't know how you people do it, it's just so-" Bayley shakes him a bit. "Get a grip man. Don't be a whiney baby because things are tough. You have the air of a tough guy, you think this is how a "tough guy" should act. Things are tough in life and you can't just avoid them or force your way through them. It takes equal parts determination and calm. You need to persist, but you also need to be collected so as to not get consumed in your goals." "You're awfully verbose, you know." "I was an A student in my high school. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was actually much more of a lost cause than you were." "You were?" "Yeah. My step-father let me take rollerskating classes because I really wanted to do it after seeing a few races. He hired the finest instructor he could to tutor me, and after hours of my regular homework I did several hours of training with Roller Skates. My instructor meant well but I was completely hopeless. I tried so hard to force myself through the problem. I started getting frustrated after a few days and I complained to my dad about quitting, and he made me realize something." "What?" "If I give up doing something I love because it gets tough, what does it say for when I have to do something I hate for the sake of others. Life isn't made of what you want and that's it. You need to find your own way to persevere without losing yourself. Make your hobby just that, not an obsession. I've seen what obsession does to people like my mother. Oh jeez, I've droned on again. You must know what it feels like when your parents give you advice, right?"

Kai just looks to the ground as he tries again and succeeds. "Oh, I see. What happened to them?" "I don't know, ok? I never knew my mother. It's just been me on the streets all my life. Me against the whole world. I got tough alright, you have to in a city that thinks your trash and garbage. I learned very quickly how to survive: it required guts and tenacity. No matter how many times I've been beaten to an inch of my life, I'd keep getting up, always ready for more. I'm told that if it wasn't for the menace in my eyes I'd be long dead. I only had myself and whatever gang I had joined that month. I also had my only real friend Jamarah. He's my polar opposite even though we both lived on the streets. He died a few months ago to make me take up my responsibility as a hero." "A hero?" "I can't say much more than that. Anyway, I think I got it." "That's wonderful." Kai starts blushing. "So anyway, uhm, thanks for the pep talk, I know that wasn't part of the deal." "It just kind of happens when I teach. I wish I wasn't leaving tomorrow. I actually have some fun with you Kai. You're a free spirit like me. You and I love operating outside the law." "That we do Bay, that we do." "It's about time I got to work, see you later." "Thanks, see you later too."

At Olympi the Joutengers are spying on Kai without their knowledge. "He almost exposed us the bastard." "Miki calm down." "You calm down waterboy. He's being so reckless with her." "I thought you would calm down." Demi gets frustrated. "God, you guys don't respect Kai enough to give him some privacy?" "I trust Kai, it's just-" "Give it a rest Miki." Miki rather begrudgingly changes the subject. "Anyways, Amy, is there any way you could track the Cretan Bull?" "Sure thing Miki." "This sure is strange, I'm sure I've seen this before." "What is it?" "I don't know, but I feel like there's a theme present for the monsters we fight." "I think I've been seeing it too. First the Nemean Lion, now the Cretan Bull. There has to be a pattern at work here." "It means if we find out the pattern, we could prepare for whats to come." "Guy's, I found the Bull. He's napping in a nearby cave, licking his wounds." "Let's go hunt him down and kill him!" Demi instantly replies. "No way Miki." "What the hell Demi?" "It's not attacking anyone right now. If we go over there and kill him while he's down, wouldn't that make us as bad as the Titans?" "I'm through being some moral rock for everybody. If their going to hate me, I don't care what they think. We need to think of how we're going to beat the Titan's, and not care how it's done." Dave is shocked. "Really Miki, you want to win that badly that you'd abandon your principles?" "I'm not abandoning my principles, I'm just being practical. There's no way in hell we should pass up the chance to kill an enemy soldier. There's no way any of those monster's can be good." "Ahem." Amy looks really pissed. "What is it?" "Arachne, that's what!" "Whatever, we need to get Kai here and fast, I want his opinion on the subject." Back with Kai, the police officer from yesterday shows up. "Hey there flatfoot." The cop doesn't look amused. "So much for old times huh." "Cut the crap. Where is Bayley?" "I'm not going to tell you jack. You should know I don't squeal." "That's too bad. You're under arrest for being an accomplice to grand theft. Don't try and play with me son, I knew you knew where Bayley was yesterday." "Well this is a familiar feeling. Almost feels good."

"No luck, I can't call him at all. He's not answering." "This isn't good." Amy turns to the others, a bit shocked. "Did you find his godchanger Amy?" "Yeah. He's in jail." Miki gets a little bit angry to say the least, and punches a wall. "I knew that girl was up to no good, when I get my hands on her-" "Quite a bit protective, are we?" "SHUT UP SHUN!" "Well, why don't we go find Bayley and see whats up before we do something we'll all regret." "Shun's right Miki, we don't have both sides of the story." Demi speaks. "For some reason, I don't think Kai did anything heinous. He'd be a fool if that were the case." Hera replies. "I agree. He's come too far in these past few weeks to stoop that low." Dave speaks up. "I propose we split up. Miki and Shun, you guys go talk to Kai in jail while me and Demi try to get what happened out of Bayley, I could easily tell when someone's lying with my aura reading." "That's really clever actually. Great idea Dave." The four joutengers exit as Amy continues the search for more Demi Gods. "It appears Bayley is actually a Demi God. That's great news." Amy calls the other four on their Godchangers with the news. "Bayley is a Demi God according to my readings." "Readings? Oh crap. That's awesome." "You're right Miki. This makes our mission double worth it. Let's go Demi." "Mhm."

At the local jail, Miki and Shun meet Kai in his holding cell. It's relatively empty, with two older guys in there sleeping. "What the hell were you thinking Kai?" Kai remains silent. "Answer me you jerk." "Umm, Kai, she's in a reeeeally bad mood, so I suggest you do what she says." "I did what I thought was right." "Well I guess it worked out all hunky-dory, right? Got yourself a nice, cold place here. This is what you get for not taking my advice." "You don't even know what happened." "Ok, so tell me. How did you get in the slammer?" "I refused to rat on Bayley so I was arrested as an accessory to grand theft." "YOU WHAT?!" "Man, how romantic." Both Kai and Miki say in unison "Shut up." Miki goes back to talk. "Did you even once think about how that might affect us?" Kai just stares down uninterested. "Look at me when I'm talking, this isn't the time to be sulking. There's no way we'd be able to defeat the Titans with you in here." "You gonna post my bail?" "No, you're going to give the police what they need, because one, it's the law, and two, if you do that, you're bound to get released." "Then I guess I stay here then." "Oh no you're not. You're getting out of here as soon as you can." "And what are you going to do about it, beat me up?" Miki gets a bit angry but calms herself. "You have your code of ethics, I have mine." "Screw ethics, this is a matter of life and death Kai, and we need you. Believe it or not you're an asset to the team. You're a strong fighter, and you have everyone's respect, including mine. Please Kai we need you to do this because I don't know how we'd function without your type of mind. You've been in it, you have way more life experience than any of us." "I still refuse. Unless you guys want to post bail, I'm sitting pretty in here for a while. It's not so bad actually. I've been arrested three times in my life, once the first time is done, the other times are a piece of cake." "URGH I can't believe you. I pour my guts out to you and all you could think about is how it's like in prison? That's not the point I was making you jerk!" The cop yells at her. "Quiet down there missy." "Fine. If you want to rot, and let the whole world be in danger, be my guest. I'm putting my ethics aside to win this war, you better do the same." "Whatever. See you." "And we're back to square one. See yah in a few Kai."

Back in the park, Demi sees Bayley for the first time. She comments "She's really pretty." "I know." Bayley turns to them after signing some autographs for fans. "Is there anything I could help you with-" She stares at Dave intently. "Hey there Mr. Hans." "How does she know you're name?" "How wouldn't I know his name? Dave Hans, the finest young talent from Germany, led his team to victory during the euro league cup. Almost a legend in my country." "A pleasure to meet you Ms. Smith." "He even knows my name, I feel like I'm the starstruck one here, haha." "Anyway, Bayley is it?" "Yes dear." "I wanted to ask about our friend Kai." "He never mentioned you guys." "It's a complicated relationship to be sure. What part of England are you from?" "Lincolnshire." "Awesome." "Can we please get back on track. Anyway, we need to tell you something about Kai." "Did something bad happen?" Demi says rather bluntly. "He's in jail." Bayley starts running quickly towards Kai, obviously worried. "I think she didn't set him up." "Indeed." "I can't even see her." "It appears she has super-human speed." Alarms ring on their phone. "Hurry guys, the Bull is back." The four Joutengers rush into battle as the Bull goes on a rampage. "You guys ready? 1-2-5 GODCHANGE!" The four try to use their weapons to fight but the bulls super speed has them beat. Not even Demi's super strength can prove much of a match this time around as she tries punching him in vain. "Crap." The bull makes quick strikes at each of them, knocking them down.

In the jail, Kai is simply taking a nap in his cell as Bayley speeds right in. "Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened Kai, I'd never ask you to take the fall for me. Come on, I'll get you out of here." "But you'll get in trouble." "I don't care about that, you don't deserve to be in jail, at least not as much as me." She super speeds her fist to cause vibrations to melt the lock as Kai gets out and they both run to the park. "Your friends told me what happened. I can't thank you enough for not giving me up. But if it came down to you going to jail or me, I'm surprised you let yourself go to jail." "You're doing great work, I'm just street trash." "That's nonsense. Would street trash have just taken the fall for a girl they just met? Or would they have friends that care about them as much as they did? I see what you're doing, I also know you guys are Joutengers." "WHAT?!" "What, the phones, you're color coded walking around everywhere, and those cool phones you have in your pocket." "Oh these." "Don't you worry, your secret's safe with me. JoutenBlack." Kai blushes a bit but shakes his head to stop blushing. "Here." Bayley hands over the essence of Hermes to Kai. "Because of your selfless actions, I think you've earned this. You could use his powers way better than I can." "Don't worry, I will. I promise." "Great." Bayley gives him a kiss on the cheek and Kai uses his newfound powers to run to the plaza where the Cretan Bull resides. "I really need to stop getting attached to people across the world. It makes it hard to say goodbye."

At the Plaza, Miki and Shun try to use their new weapons. "Ok, Shun, I'll try and trip him with my hammer, you shoot him with everything you got." The bull charges at Miki as she tries to hit it, but the Bull simply speeds to Shun and knocks him down with his horns. "It's no use, I can't detect him through his feelings." Dave then gets knocked down hard as Demi gets blindsided as well. The bull snorts proudly as he stares down the Joutengers. As he prepares for a final charge, he is tripped up and kicked square in the face by an Invisible Kai. "Yeah! Kick his ass man." Kai wastes no time using his newfound speed to its best advantage, landing several fast key strikes into the Bull, keeping him off balance. "Chains of Caduceus." All of a sudden Kai gains a weapon with an long chain and a three pronged blade at the end. He uses this weapon to wrap the Cretan Bull and imobolize him completely. The others are amazed as Kai takes charge. "Let's get him now. Blade of Olympus! Judgment Slash!" The Bull explodes but grows from Asteria's magic. "Olympic King, Arise!" OK arrives onto the scene ready for action as the Bull tries to move fastly but his large size hinders his movement. "Alrighty, lets do this-" The number 1-2-8 appears on Kai's Godchanger and he punches it in immediately. A turtle appears onto the scene and the Bull stares it down hard, snorting angrily. The turtle starts running in circles as the bull tries to stomp on it. The speed is so blistering the bull falls down in confusion. "Olympic King, Hermes Formation!" The turtle splits in half and becomes a pair of skates for Olympic King and the top half of the shell becomes a chain, much like Kai's new weapon, and it's even longer. "Alrighty, let's see what this can do. HERMES KICK!" The OK uses the chains to pull the monster towards it, and using the wheels on the feet, grinds the monster's gut to death.

Back at Olympi, Kai apologizes to the others. "I'm really sorry for what I did. I can't believe I let my emotions cloud my judgment like that. I have my duty to the team and I put that in jeopardy. For a girl that I'll probably never see again." Everyone else is confused at this but Miki isn't. "That was a close one there Kai. But I guess I should be apologizing. I jumped to conclusions and thought that she was a good for nothing shrew who only used you to her advantage. I know now that she did legitimately care about you Kai. I wish I could take back what I said earlier. We're both pretty bullheaded, if that makes sense." "You sure are princess." Shun jokingly intervenes "Here we are, one big happy family. Anyone up for pizza?" "Sure." "I'm game." "Great, I'll get Gou and get it. We met a celebrity today, well, Dave, Demi and Kai did. See you later." Amy goes to follow him. "W-wait for me Shun!" The others laugh as Kai quickly remembers something. "Crap. I technically broke out of jail, they'll be on the hunt for me." Everyone starts looking the other way except Hera. "You're more than welcome to sleep here child." "I don't know, but I guess I don't have much of a choice." "Great. We could spend the evening talking and watching stuff on this computer, oh it will be so much fun." "You don't say." Miki jokingly puts her arm over his shoulder. "Consider it bonding time. God knows you need it." Demi and Dave laugh as the Titans appear in their lair, planning their next move.
