Don't kill my for the cliffe. I have another chapter on the way right now.

Hotsuma passed out, his bloodied face making a horrendous crack against the asphalt.

"Hotsuma!" Shusei yelled out before being knocked out himself, falling to the ground beside Hotsuma.

"Tsukumo we can't hold them back much longer," Toko yelled out blocking another shot from the Opast and turning to him, only to get hit over the head. She fell down screaming Tsukumo's name, making him turn around to see his unconscious sister.

"Toko!" he called out as both Opast started to corner him. The first made his move which Tsukumo blocked but then the other attacked and he had to block it with his arm, making it bleed violently. His gun was knocked out of his arms and he was cut down.

"Senshirou duck!" Kuroto yelled before he took a hit and the back and fell down.

Senshirou ducked, narrowly missing a swing, only to be hit by another Opast.

With everyone down Yuki started panicking and backing away.

"Luka!" he screamed, "Luka! Help!"

But nobody came to his rescue.

"Luka!" he screamed louder as the Opast descended upon him.

"Help!" Yuki screamed sitting straight up.

"Yuki?" Luka was immediately appearing to see the young boy shaking, tears streaming down his face.

"Luka!" Yuki cried out the memories of his nightmare still fresh in his mind.

"What's wrong?" he asked standing at his side instantly.

"J-ju-just a nightmare," he said wiping his tears away and trying to even out his breathing.

Luka's arm rested on his shoulder, his face betraying his concern though he tried to hide it.

Suddenly an unknown song started to blast and Luka covered his ears to block it out. The music died down and a voice came through the intercom.

"All Zweilts to the training grounds in 20. I repeat all Zweilts to the training ground in 20." a voice told them.

"I guess we should get ready," Yuki said standing up, "but where is the training ground?"

"There's a map on the door," Luka said.

Yuki looked up to see the map on the door.

"Oh," he said feeling embarrassed for not seeing it earlier.

"You should get ready," Luka said and took a seat in the chair near the bed.

"O-o-oh yeah," Yuki said and got out of bed, taking some clothes out of his bag and heading to the bathroom.

He got changed, washing his face, and brushing his teeth and hair. When he emerged from the bathroom, Luka was waiting for him.

"We've got 10 minutes to be there," he said, "but the training ground is not a far distance."

"Okay," Yuki answered tentatively and followed Luka to where they were supposed to meet.


"Harder," the boy begged underneath him.

Hotsuma complied thrusting harder into the boy beneath him, grabbing his small hips for leverage and leaning his head into Shusei's neck biting into it and sucking a love bite.

"Hotsuma!" he called out as he came, "Hotsuma!"

Hotsuma snapped out of his dream and was awoken to see Shusei shifting uncomfortably in his arms.

"Shusei?" he asked looking down at the boy.

"Can you let go of me?" Shusei asked looking up at him.

"Yeah," Hotsuma said releasing his arms, "what's the matter?"

"Nothing I'm just going to start getting ready," Shusei assured him before scrambling off to the bathroom.

Hotsuma was confused until it occurred to him as he went to get up. The hardness in his pants explained while Shusei had been so uncomfortable.

"Damn!" Hotsuma cursed.

An obnoxiously loud song started and then faded out.

"All Zweilts to the training grounds in 20. I repeat all Zweilts to the training ground in 20." a voice told him.

"I'll just be a minute in the bathroom and then you can go in," Shusei asked as he closed and locked the door.

Hotsuma thought about knocking his head against a wall but didn't want to take the chance of being unconscious in unknown territory.

He took a look at the map on the back of the door trying to figure out which way they had to go to get to the training grounds and trying to ignore his problem. He finally pin pointed it as Shusei walked out of the bathroom.

"Did you find it?" he asked.

"Yes," Hotsuma said turning around and passing Shusei to go to the bathroom, "I'll be out and we can go together."

"Fine," Shusei said sitting on the bed.

Hotsuma got ready and walked out to Shusei, the two of them heading to the training grounds.


"All Zweilts to the training grounds in 20. I repeat all Zweilts to the training ground in 20." a voice told him.

"Tsukumo!" Toko said popping into his room, "Are you almost ready?"

"I'm ready," he said getting off the bed and walking over to her, "We'll be early though."

"It's fine," Toko decided and dragged her brother to their destination.


"All Zweilts to the training grounds in 20. I repeat all Zweilts to the training ground in 20," a voice told them.

"Senshirou?" Kuroto asked popping his head into the bathroom, "are you ready?"

"Almost," Senshirou said pulling his shirt over his head and walking out of the bathroom. He threw his shoes on, tied them, and stood up.

"Ready," he said.

"Okay let's go," Kuroto said leading the way out of their room.

The Japanese Zweilts were among the first to arrive and met together staying off to the side as Zweilts from all different walks of life walked in together. Some stayed with together with the groups they came with and others banded into groups of people they were familiar with. Some of them were as far away from people as humanly possible staying alone and not saying a word.

Everybody except those alone seemed okay, they chatted amongst each other. They all seemed familiar with everyone leaving the Japanese Zweilts feeling out of place. They stayed close together. Hotsuma and Luka took turns glaring at the gawking girls and stunned men who looked over.

Suddenly in front of them the eight people stood in a line. They recognized Takashiro and the blonde girl, Nikki, and the man she'd been fighting the day before as well as a few people that had been in the incident yesterday though they couldn't place their names.

"Listen up!" Nikki yelled loudly.

They immediately got quiet and looked over at the people in line.

"You might know some of us but for the sake of those who don't we'll introduce ourselves," she yelled loudly until a man skirted past her placing two things in her hand. She whispered something to him and he was of again and out of sight. The only thing they got a look at was the blue band on his arm. She put something in her ear and then spoke into the second object which amplified her voice.

"Starting at the end of the line we'll introduce ourselves," she said handing the microphone to Takashiro.

He cleared his throat and took the mic from her.

"I'm Takashiro from the Giou Clan in Japan," he said and handed the mic to the woman next to him. She was 5' 4" with blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair.

"I'm Sienna from the Shinjiru(1) Clan in Australia," she said and passed the mic to the woman next to her. The girl from yesterday, the one with dirty blonde hair and chocolate eyes gently took the mic and put it up to her mouth.

"I'm Alisan from the Mamoru(2) Clan in Asia," she said and looked next to her passing it to a man who stood a lot higher than her five foot six figure. He had brown eyes and brown hair and copper skin.

"I'm Zane, from the Saiai(3) Clan in Africa," he said, his thick accent making him hard to understand and passed the mic over to the strange red head from yesterday.

"I'm Austin from the Kanja(4) Clan in Europe," he said and passed the mic once more to the man Nikki had been fighting with the day before.

"I'm Davi," his hard voice spoke, "I'm from the Reikokuna(5) Clan in South America."

Reikokuna? Luka felt the growl in his throat but quieted it not wanting to gain unwanted attention. Davi passed the mic and a woman took it. She was about five three blue eyed with black hair. Her quiet voice gained the Zweilts attention.

"I'm Maria from the Kashikoi Clan in Mexico," she said and handed the mic to Nikki.

"I'm Nikki from the Tamashii Clan of North America," she said, "and you'll all probably wondering what you're doing here."

There were a few nods and murmuring throughout the crowd.

"There's been a gathering of Duras in the area," Nikki explained, "whereas in your areas of the world there's been almost none and we don't know exactly what's going on. Every time we go to fight them they retreat and disappear from radar. They seem to just be testing us but in this week alone we've seen well over a hundred. We've called you hear because they're gathering and we should too. We've told you to bring your whole group so we've got more than just Zweilts here and I expect each and every person to be respected."

Takashiro looked over at her.

"Everyone?" he asked and Nikki shot a sharp look at him.

"Everyone," Nikki said narrowing her eyes at him, "you did bring everyone right?"

"All my Zweilts," he answered.

Nikki's eyes widened and in an instant Danny, Jack, and Adam were at her side.

"Gather your Zweilts quickly Takashiro," Nikki said going from her position at the top and the ground to the Japanese Zweilts in the corner.

"Get ready to go home and gather everyone," Nikki said, "be prepared to fight."

"What are you talking about?" Hotsuma's loud voice blurted out.

"We've been sensing two Duras in the Japanese area by your mansion," Nikki said, "we thought it was safe and that everyone was here."

"What do you mean Duras in Japan?" Takashiro said.

"We thought that they were looking for God's Light," Nikki said sharply, "we didn't realize people we're still there."

"You said everyone was going," Adam said.

"I meant all my Zweilts," Takashito explained.

"Get over here!" Nikki yelled angrily and motioned Adam over.

"Jack, Danny, Adam, Leslie, Jesse get over here!" she shouted.

In an instant the called men stood in front of her.

"Adam transport them and the Japanese Zweilts," Nikki commanded, "Get everyone out of there, leave no one behind. Get them here quickly and if you need reinforcements call for us. You've got ten minutes before Sammi, Addy, and I will come to back you up. Take these ear pieces and hurry before anyone gets hurt."

She placed ear pieces to Jack, Danny, Adam, Leslie, and Jesse and stood back.

"Go now!" she shouted and Adam began to chant, a blue circle illuminating and in an instant they were gone.

"I could have taken care of it," one of the lonesome Zweilts said.

"Shut up!" Nikki growled, "Egotistic bastard just like your clan leader."

"Don't you talk-!" Davi started to argue with her.

"Shut the fuck up!" Nikki growled immediately silencing him.

She fixed the earpiece and pressed a button on the side of it.

"What's the status?" she asked the boys.
