Ok, so like I said in the last chapter the next two are special. Now you, the readers, get to find out why. Enjoy the newest chapter.
The New Girl Part I
Will was sitting in a restaurant by himself, drinking a glass of water. He was thinking about their new friends and how they were adjusting to the Prime Zone. So far, they seemed to be taking it pretty well. "Can I get you anything more," a young waitress with jet black asked him, interrupting his thoughts.
"No, I'm fine for now," he told her. She walked off to help another customer and he heard the front door of the restaurant open. He looked over to check the newcomer. It was a young girl, fifteen or sixteen, with pink hair stopping just at her mid back, straight leg blue jeans, a white belt, blue T shirt, and a pink purse on her right shoulder. There was a strange device, shaped somewhat like a dragon head, clipped on her belt. He wasn't sure, but something about this girl intrigued him. He decided he'd keep an eye on her.

"Kass, I don't like the look of this restaurant," the device on her belt said to the pink haired girl.
"Well, you'll just have to get over it, MD," the girl answered. "Besides, I'm tired and no one here knows us. It's safer than the streets."
The device, Model MD, just gave sigh. He would never understand how this young girl could ever be his bio match. But then again, he thought to himself, if not for my meeting Kassie Haro, I'd still be stuck in that glass container. He gave a shudder at the memory of that building, the tests performed, and the glass container he had first known when he was created.
"Hello. How may I help you," a waiter asked her.
"A table for one please," she answered.
"This way please," the waiter said. Kass followed him to a table and when he left, she took MD off of her belt and placed him in her purse.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing," he said. "You know I hate in here."
"I'm going to go to the restroom and with you in my purse, I don't have to worry about anything being taken."
"Fine," he said gruffly. She walked off and MD began to think back to how his life had changed since he had met Kass.
***
As Kass walked back out of the restroom, a large netnavi got up and , not quite walking in a straight line, having had one too many drinks, moved towards to her. "Hey there, little lady. (hic) How's about you coming (hic) with me to my room (hic) later? (hic)"
"No thanks," she said and tried to walk around the netnavi. But instead of letting her pass, he grabbed her wrist and held her in place. "Hey let go."
"This time I'm (hic) not asking. You're (hic) coming with me."
"No I'm not."
"Yes (hic) you are."
"No I'm not."
"I believe the young lady said no," a voice from behind the netnavi said. The netnavi turned to see a boy, about sixteen and less than half his size- but then again, so was just about every other customer in the restaurant-, standing there, a small smile on his face. "You really need to know when to say no."
"What (hic) ever. Outta my way punk." The netnavi began to drag Kass with him, but the boy intercepted him. "Alright kid (hic). You're really star(hic)ting to piss me off. Now (hic) move!" And with that, the netnavi swung a large fist at the boy, hitting him dead on. The boy went flying into a table, breaking it on his landing. The netnavi turned around once more to drag Kass.
"Big mistake, buddy." The netnavi turned around to see the boy get up and dust himself off. "Armor up, battle ready." Green armor slid down from his shoulders, covering his entire body, save for his head. "If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get. But we take it outside."
"Fine with (hic) me. But if I win, which I (hic) WILL, I take the (hic) girl with me."
"Deal."
The netnavi followed the boy outside, as did most of the other customers. Kass went over to her table to grab her purse and MD.
"Hey MD. Check this out," she took him out of her purse and held him up to see the fight.
"What's happening," he asked her.
"That kid in green armor is trying to save me from that fat, drunk navi."
"I kinda feel sorry for the kid. That navi's twice his size."
"G Blade," the boy said, a sword forming from his armor on his right arm and sliding towards his hand until the hilt was in his hand. "There's still time for you to leave and not have your ass kicked by me. If you know what's good for you, you'll give up and leave."
"Why is he provoking that navi? He's gonna get killed," Kass said to no one in particular.
One of the other customers heard this and gave her a confused look. "You're new 'round here, ain'tcha? That kid there is one of the best fighters around. He's probably gonna take it easy on the fat dude."
"Really," Kass said, not at all convinced.
"Just watch," the customer told her.
"You have a big (hic) mouth, punk," the large netnavi said to the boy. "Let's (hic) see you back it (hic) up." And with that, the netnavi charged him. But the boy simply raised his sword and knocked him back. The netnavi recovered, but looked confused. No one had ever managed to knock him back before. This time around, the netnavi took the direct approach and went for a headbutt. The boy put his arm up and then knocked the netnavi on the head, hard. The netnavi hit the ground and lay there.
"Like I said, learn to take no for an answer. Now leave and don't mess with anymore young women." With that, the boy turned around, but the netnavi didn't know when to quit, not just yet. He went to attack him from behind, but then found the tip of a blade less than half an inch from his face. "Ya might wanna rethink that. Now, leave." In less than a second's time, the boy had turned and placed the blade towards the netnavi's face. Anyone who blinked would have missed the movement.
This time, the netnavi decided to just give up and leave. He got up and began to lumber off, taking out a street post or two on his way.
"Armor down, standby." The boy's green armor slid back up to his shoulders, but there was never any telltale sign that it had been there at all. He then walked towards Kass.
**
As Will stopped in front of the pink haired girl, he held his hand out. She looked at it uncertainly at first and then shook it out. "Sorry about the trouble that navi caused you. He's normally pretty sober."
"Oh well…thank you for helping me," the girl answered.
Will looked her over real quick. She seems kinda shy. That or she isn't a very trusting person. "I'm William, but my friends and anyone who knows me call me Will. And my I ask your name?"
The girl stood there, looking like she was chewing it over. "….Kass. My name is Kassie Haro, but I'd prefer if you just called me Kass."
"Well, it's nice to meet you Kass. I don't suppose you would give me the pleasure of buying you lunch?"
She wasn't quite sure why, but she felt like this boy, Will, was someone she could trust without question. "Yes. I'd like that very much."
The newest chapter. It was fun figuring out how to put these two new characters into play, but I'm not done yet. The rest will be explained next chapter. Please review and tell me what you think.
