A New Battle

by dinui.parjai

The Rebellion has risen. Despite their fathers' efforts to keep their children safe from the violence they were raised by; Kenza, Tracyn, Omega and Verco have decided to join the next fight, leaving their families behind on Pabu. What new adventures will they embark on, and what new friends (or maybe more) will they encounter? (Can be a stand alone or sequel to my other stories.)
