A/N: Hello! Sorry about the other day, I got delayed.
I got a review! It's from someone called Guest, and it says, "Could you please update please and your ideas are brilliant." Aww, thanks! :)
This chapter is when two of my OCs get introduced. After you read this, tell me which entrance you liked better in your review!
Anyhoo, here's chapter 4.
"Autopilot, disengaged."
Taki took hold of the steering wheel as the car dipped downward in the air. Everyone else held onto their seats, all except Kyoya. He just sat in his seat at the back, polishing Leone with a scrap of cloth.
As they descended, the roof of a building soon came into view. The roof had a big blue circle, that looked like a helipad.
If they thought Taki was going to steer away from it, they were wrong. Instead, Taki accelerated, and neatly landed on the roof. Everyone relaxed, their theory that there was going to be a big crash proven wrong.
"Huh," Taki said, as she got out and looked around. "That landing was better than usual, if I do say so myself."
"You mean," Madoka said as she got out of the car and stretched her back, "you don't usually get a good landing?"
Taki shook her head, and motioned for them to follow. She led them across the roof to a door in a corner. When she opened it, they supposed there would be a staircase there, but instead, Taki opened it to reveal an elevator. While Taki got in, the group remained rooted to the spot.
"Come on, you guys!" she said, exasperation edging into her voice. "It's not going to bite you."
When no one moved, she sighed, and pressed a red button on the button panel.
Suddenly, the floor the group was standing on slanted upward, tipping them into the elevator. As they untangled themselves, they heard Taki snicker. Then she leaned over Hikaru and pressed a green button.
The elevator doors closed, and as the group finally got themselves off the floor, the elevator began to descend.
"How many floors are there, exactly?" Kenta asked Taki. Taki thought, muttering to herself and counting off on her fingers.
"Um... there's the lobby, then the labs, the training rooms, the lounge, the dorms take up two floors and then the director's and assistant director's offices, so... Seven floors."
"Where are we going?" Benkei asked.
"We are going to the lounge on the fourth floor. That's where you'll meet the other agents who will be training you."
"What will they be like?" Gingka asked eagerly.
"The two other agents? Well, one of them is much more laid back than the other, and the other... I guess you could say she's a bit rebellious. I won't tell you their names just yet, but you guys can conclude from what I've been telling you that-"
"-two girl agents will be helping you train us," Kyoya finished, not looking very happy that he was going to be trained by three girls.
"Exactly," Taki said. "Oh, and I forgot to mention,"
Right then, the elevator let out a ding, and the doors opened.
"There will be two others training with you," Taki continued as they walked out. "They got here about two days ago, but the director let them explore a bit before starting their training. Before you guys came, they were our newest recruits."
She led them down a hallway that was painted white with four lines of grey streaks running horizontally along it, the tints getting darker with each line. Finally, they came to a set of gray double doors that Taki pushed open.
The lounge was homey-looking, with the main colors being white, grey, and black. Agents were either sitting in groups with different amounts of people, or sitting on a moss green couch pushed against one wall, reading or watching a television.
"So this is the lounge?" Yuki asked, looking around.
"Yep. The others aren't here yet." Taki checked her watch again. "But by my calculations, one of them should be here in 3... 2... 1..."
Suddenly, the doors burst open behind them and a girl danced into the room. Literally.
The girl had light brown hair pulled back in a messy bun, and bright green eyes. Like Taki, she wore a black jacket with a TSA badge, but her clothes were different: a hot pink scoop neck shirt, a neon green miniskirt, pink leggings, white knee-socks, and shiny black loafers. Her clothes were so bright, it almost hurt your eyes to look at them. At the moment, she was also carrying an iPod with a pink case, and dancing and singing along to the music that was coming out of dark green earbuds.
"-ignite the light, and let it shine. Just own the night, like the Fourth of July! Cause baby you're a-"
She caught Taki staring at her with a, "Seriously?" expression in her violet eyes and stopped dancing. The other teenagers in the room had only glanced up and returned to what they were doing.
"What?" the girl said, a bit loudly. "I'm listening to music!"
Taki walked over and pulled an earbud out of her ear. "These are new recruits!" she shouted into it.
The girl pulled away, stopped playing her song, and pulled out the other earbud. "Jeez," she said to Taki. "You don't have to shout,"
She gestured to the group that was watching with wide eyes. Kenta's body was halfway behind Madoka's.
"So these are new ones?" she asked.
"Yep." Taki turned to the group. "Guys, this is my friend Eleanor Thompson. She comes from Washington D. C."
"But I prefer to be called Ellie," Eleanor said, and narrowed her eyes. She suddenly looked a little intimidating. "You guys are okay with that, right?"
Everyone nodded. Ellie smiled again, this time with white teeth showing. "Good! I think we'll get along okay."
Taki jabbed her with an elbow.
"Oh yeah. I'll be one of the people training you guys. You already know Taki's going to train you too, right?"
At their nod, Ellie continued. "Good. Now, Luna's coming a second, so-"
The doors opened again before she could finish. And through the doors came a girl that made everyone but the two agents back away a little. Ellie even said, "Ah. There she is."
This girl had long, white-blonde hair that went down to her waist, and dark brown eyes. Neither of these seemed to tone down what she wore.
She wore a black TSA jacket with the TSA badge, a black shirt with a dark red skull on it, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots. Along with that, she also had black eyeshadow and black lipstick. If it weren't for her hair, she would've passed off as a vampire without even trying. To describe this girl as "rebellious" like Taki had was a real heck of an understatement.
The girl looked at them with a slightly interested expression, before turning to Taki and Ellie and asking, "These the others?"
"Yep," Taki replied. "Guys, this is my other friend, Luna Moon."
"And get this," Ellie said excitedly. "Her dad is the assistant director of the TSA!"
"Whoa, that's cool!" Benkei said. The corners of Luna's mouth twitched, and she looked like she was going to smile.
"I'm not exactly proud," Luna said, staring at her fingernails (which were unsurprisingly painted with black nail polish). "But I guess it is kinda cool. However..."
Her head snapped up, and her eyes narrowed. With her black clothes and makeup, she looked pretty scary standing there. Heck, they could practically see the coldness in her eyes.
"If you tell anyone about my dad," she hissed like a snake. "I can assure you that you will regret it. You should also know that 'please' means nothing to me. Consider yourselves warned."
Even Taki and Ellie looked scared.
But then, Luna's eyes went back to their normal shape, and she stopped looking scary. In a voice that didn't have a lot of expression, she said, "Your training starts tomorrow," turned, and walked out of the room.
There was silence for a loooooong moment. Then, hesitantly, Ellie cleared her throat, and said, "Luna's right about her dad. She and her dad keep it a secret between themselves, and she only told me and Taki because we started poking around a bit a couple years ago."
"Yeah," Taki agreed, still looking shaken by Luna's threat. "You guys shouldn't tell anyone,"
It sounded like she directed this comment mostly towards Gingka.
Then she said, "Like Luna said, your training starts tomorrow along with those two other recruits. Here're your dorms," she handed each of them slips of paper from one of her jacket pockets. "There are four to a room, so only two of you will be in one dorm. The dorms you boys have are on the sixth floor. You two girls," she pointed to Madoka and Hikaru, "will be sleeping with me and Taki in a dorm on the fifth floor. Come on, we'll show you."
They led the two girls out of the lounge, leaving the boys to find where their dorms were.
After a while, they had it straightened out like so: Gingka, Kenta, Yuki, and Tsubasa had one, while Benkei and Kyoya had the other.
On the way to their dorms, Yuki accidentally bumped into someone and fell onto the floor. "Oh! Sorry!" a voice said.
The person turned out to be a twelve-year-old girl that had orange hair with thin, brown streaks in two braids, and chocolate brown eyes. Instead of a black jacket, she wore a white lab coat over an orange shirt, and khaki shorts, with orange socks and black Toms.
"Sorry!" the girl said again. "I was looking the other way and didn't notice you,"
"It's okay," Yuki replied, getting up off the ground. "I'm fine,"
The girl looked relieved. "That's good." She stuck out a hand. "Cherry Carter, one of the scientists. Are you new recruits?"
Everyone nodded, but Tsubasa said, "Cherry? Are you the girl that hacked into the WBBA?"
Instead of looking guilty, Cherry looked extremely pleased with herself as she answered, "That's me! Good to know someone noticed."
"I'm not the only one who noticed," Tsubasa informed her. "The director and his assistant know too."
"Lemme guess," Cherry said in reply. "You tried to sneak in flash drives, find the stolen files, download them on the flash drives, and send them back to the WBBA? All the while under instructions from the director?"
Tsubasa looked surprised she knew. "Y-yes."
Cherry looked satisfied she had caught him, and said, "Well, even if you hadn't gotten caught, and I'm pretty sure someone did catch you, you wouldn't be able to get them back. Wanna know why?"
"Why?" Gingka asked.
"Because if an agent gets caught hacking into the TSA computers, they get fired right on the spot." Cherry said simply.
Then she smiled again, and said, "Well, I'll see you guys around, I guess!"
Then she walked away, turning back around to wave.
A/N: Man, this took a while.
I have to admit, I think I liked Ellie's entrance the most. Cherry's the runner-up. I'm just imagining Tsubasa's face!
Anyway, stay tuned for the next chapter! Adios!
