Ok, so I said I might write it today and post it, so I think I will, because I have the time! XD
Mal and Zero followed the three squad leaders all the way through the vent system, until they reached a grate covering the end of the vent system. They found themselves looking down into a large room with a regular style bey stadium in it. "this must be where they train!" zero whispered excitedly, watching as the leaders of squads 9 and 2 stepped up to the arena.
"go get 'em squad 2!" another blader in dark purple, leader of squad 7, called.
"you've got this squad 9!" a guy in dark red, leader of squad 10 yelled.
"mal, get your computer out, quick!" zero whispered excitedly as the bladers below them started.
"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!" the four squad leaders yelled, sending their beys flying into action.
Mal gasped. "those are older-style beys! They aren't from the synchrome system!"
"you're right!" Zero replied. "but look at the power they have! They could easily take out a synchrome bey! Even if it was one like Saramanda-Ifraid!" the two watched, in awe at the spectacular battle playing out before them. Even though neither of the LBA bladers was saying anything, their beys clashed, and the building shook as they both unleashed what appeared to be their special moves, although it was hard to tell, as they weren't saying anything. The match ended with squad 9's leader being defeated once again. But this time, he didn't drop to his knees in defeat. Instead he stepped over to the door and left, the other bladers doing the same, all going different directions. "lets go back to the directors office and see if there's anything there" mal suggested, turning and crawling back.
In the directors office….
"there seem to be two people hiding in our vent system" the black ops leader was saying.
5 minutes later…
Zero and mal finally found their way back to the directors office. Looking down , they spotted the black ops leader and another squad leader, both in dark blue. The other one, leader of squad 6, was a bit smaller than the black ops leader, but still looked just as strong as the others. "anyway, as I was saying, I need you to go to Nemesis island and switch out with the leader of squad 4, I have already told him what he needs to do. There is a helicopter waiting for you on the roof, and squad 4's leader will be waiting for you at the landing site.
"got it" squad 6's leader said, bowing and exiting the room. The black ops leader also left, but before mal could jump down and plug into the directors computer, the director himself walked in, obviously back from his meeting with Tsubasa. he sat down at his desk, completely absorbed in thought, then pushed a few buttons on his computer and started typing.
At the WBBA headquarters, a couple hours later…..
Madoka stepped into Tsubasa's office. "Tsubasa, have you seen Mal? I cant find her anywhere." she said, obviously worried.
"no, she hasn't come here, my guess is, she is off with Zero investigating the LBA" Tsubasa said.
"I hope they're ok" Madoka sighed.
"me too" Tsubasa replied. Suddenly, his computer made a "new email" noise. Tsubasa stepped over to it and opened the program. Madoka stepped over behind him. "its from Mal" he said. "an email file from the LBA's mainframe computer, apparently."
"well, what does it say?" Madoka asked, relieved that mal and zero were ok.
Tsubasa opened the file. As he and Madoka read it, their eyes became wide with surprise. "this is….."Madoka trailed off.
"their entire database, with all the squad's current locations and everything!" Tsubasa finished. They looked back at the computer, reading the file, which said:
Squad 1-Black Ops-blue (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
Squad 2-red-orange (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
Squad 3-gold (classified leader)
Current location: Nemesis Island
Squad 4-gold (classified leader)
Current location: in transition
Squad 5-purplish-pink (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
Squad 6-blue (classified leader)
Current location: in transition
Squad 7-purple (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
Squad 8-purple (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
Squad 9-green (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
Squad 10-red (classified leader)
Current location: LBA Headquarters
At that moment, the file blinked, and squad 4's current location changed to WBBA Headquarters, while Squad 6's location changed to Nemesis Island.
Tsubasa jumped out of his chair. "They're spying on us!" he said. "We have to find that squad!"
"That wont be necessary" a voice said from the door. Madoka blinked. "Ryo?" she said, surprised.
Gingka's father stepped into the room. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I heard that you are investigating the LBA?"
"How did you know that?" Tsubasa asked, his mouth dropping open.
Ryo smiled. "Squad 4's leader told me" he said, stepping aside to reveal a small, and very hyper LBA squad leader, with the rest of his squad behind him.
"You don't need to worry about us!" the squad leader said in the mechanical voice that now seemed characteristic of the squad leaders of the LBA. "We just came to tell you that, so we will be leaving now" with that, he turned and skipped out of the room.
"Tsubasa, look on your computer, there is already a file about the LBA on it that has everything that you need to know." Ryo said, turning and leaving.
"There is?" Madoka and Tsubasa said in stereo, rushing over to the computer. Sure enough, down in the corner of the "documents" section on Tsubasa's computer, there was a file marked "LBA". Tsubasa clicked, and it asked for a password. He keyed in the password Ryo had given him when he gained control of the WBBA and the file opened. They both gasped, then looked at each other. Suddenly, an explosion sounded in the distance. Tsubasa quickly closed the file and rushed to the window. The sky was black with clouds. Tsubasa rushed back to his computer.
"We have to stop them" he said, reopening the file and clicking the link on the side, next to the words " The LBA is an organization funded by the WBBA at this location:…"
Suddenly, the LBA's Black Ops leader rushed into the room. "Tsubasa, stop! I know what you are thinking, and I know we haven't really told you what we are doing, but please, let me explain!"
"Why should we trust you?" Madoka asked.
"One reason" the blader replied, as the leaders of squads 2, 5, and 9 stepped out from behind him.
"Director?" one of them said inquisitively.
The black ops leader turned. "What" he said, sounding irritated even through his robotic voice.
"Shouldn't we get going? We have a limited time if we are going to stop Nemesis." the leader of squad 2 said.
The black ops leader sighed." You're right, we should get going." he said, turning to leave "Oh, and Tsubasa? Next time just come to the LBA yourself, we had to put up a false front so that Nemesis's allies wouldn't suspect us." from behind him stepped Zero and Mal, unharmed. As they left, Zero stared after them in awe.
"How did they find you?" Madoka asked.
"I don't know, we were downloading more files from the LBA mainframe when the director came. He unplugged Mal's computer and said that you already had those files somewhere, then, when the explosion happened and the sky turned black, he took off his suit coat and shirt, pressed a button on the uniform underneath, and was suddenly the Black Ops leader! He said he had seen us in the vents hours before!" Zero replied.
"Yeah, then he bought us here!" Mal said. "And his hair isn't black under that top hat!" she trailed off, grinning.
Muahaha, I leave you with suspense! Now what is the LBA up to? :P you thought you knew! Next time: identities and secrets are revealed, Nemesis arrives, and Tsubasa finds out he was wrong about the LBA.
