Prologue: Early Morning Broadcast
It was your average day in Astropolis. The Dream Co Police Force were doing their usual patrol whilst the normal citizens went about their daily business. Despite the city looking peaceful, there was an obvious sense of fear among most of the people within the population. Everytime a member of the Dream Co Police Force would pass by a person, their poker face would spread along their face. Hiding any hint of happiness or sadness. As soon as the police were out of sight they would go back to their previous expression, albeit a bit relieved that they were not being hassled in anyway by the corrupt law enforcement.

Suddenly, once the clock had struck 07:30am on the dot. Over 60% of the population of Astropolis's radios tuned into one particular radio station, the only pirate radio station that didn't spew out Dream Co propaganda all over the airwaves. This radio stations name was ''Smooth Groove Radio. ''

"Yo yo yo yo, this is your host DJ D-Lion giving you your early morning dosage of revelations. Coming straight to you live from your favourite Station, Smooth Groove Radio!!!!" The DJ said in his overly entertaining voice.

DJ D-Lion was a tall yellow lion with a wild brown mane. He wore light blue shades on his face and a white jacket on his torso. He also wore black pants. "Now as ya'll already know, it's been roughly 3 years since 'The Big Man' himself rolled up into town with his mega-enterprise Dream Co and mysteriously gained the position of mayor in Astropolis." DJ explained.

"Every since then, things have been spiraling out of control as his new regime took influence over the once fair city. This guy went ham i'm telling you! First he bought off the police force. Then, he went and bought the rights to all the media output in the whole city! Well almost every source, i mean, i'm still around. Then he had the audacity to start extorting nearby businesses to submit to his will, even though he's already mayor and has enough power as it is!? What a egomaniac! Funny, how they named themselves Dream Co. The only thing their doing is selling out false dreams about their ideals for a 'successful economy'. If you ask me, they're full of crap and all their after is profit."

"However, despite most of Astropolis being under his influence and the fact that he's stomping out our culture left and right, a small group of Mobians still out there, fighting against the Dream Co police by burying our city in Graffiti. Whether they like it or not, these Extreme Gear wielding dudes (whom we like to call Drifters) are probably our last hope against this crazy regime."

"Sadly, their too busy wrapped up in their petty gang wars and territorial battles to actually do anything seriously effective. Yo! Drifters! Wake up and smell the damn coffee!! The people of this city need some help!"

"Anyway, word on the streets is that Dream Co are working on a top secret project in order to deal with the "Extreme Gear problem" once and for all! Man! Stuff's about to get real outchea in the streets! I haven't been this scared since like, my first kiss. I was so scared that time that i head butted my date and she fell unconscious!"

"Well, that's enough of my sexy voice spreading the airwaves. Time to start the day off right with a fan favorite! Coming to you from SMOOOTH GROVE RADIOOOOOOOO!" DJ D-Lion finished off with as the song started to play.

Chapter 1:Failed Attempt(s)
The sky was a vibrant orange in the Dawn District of Astropolis. The peaceful sound of silence at the Dawn Dockyards also helped compliment such a view, however, it was soon shattered by the abrupt sound of beeping.The kind of sound you hear when a dump truck is put in reverse. The sound was also quickly followed by the sound of rumbling and the source of all of the noise soon became clear. A large yellow crane was rotating it's claw so that it was over a large ship that had docked near the area. The claw noisily reached down into the ship and re-emerged carrying a large wooden box, the contents of which were unknown to the workers.

A short distance away from the Dockyard a trio of Drifters were scouting the dock. The insignia that was painted on too their Extreme Gear indicated that they were members of The OverGrindz, a Drifter Gang that seemed to be unusually far away from their territory which was in fact in another district completely. One of the members was a female swallow, that had green feathers and yellow eyes. She wore a orange tube crop top with a yellow design on it and also wore orange pants, She completed the outfit with her orange face cap. Her Extreme Gear was a customized Skate Type Advantage-F ZG series. It's an produced model that she invented herself.

"The place is swarming with cops," the female said to the other two members. "Are you sure that this stuff is worth it, Nate?"

"I'm pretty sure," the member named Nate replied. "My sources told me that this stuff will help Dream Co with Project D.R.A.G....whatever that maybe."

The member that replied was a male hawk with grey feathers and aqua blue eyes. He wore a dark blue t-shirt which had a orange hoodie which was unzipped. His pants were also a dark blue, the same colour as his t-shirt. The Extreme Gear that he wore on his feet was a customized Skate Type Advantage-S ZG Series. Unlike his fellow member, his was a little more common, but she had helped customize his gear also.

A short, female Persian was cruising through feeling the wind whip her neapolitian hair around,"Now this is the life." She had made sure she'd grabbed her pink spraycan before leaving,"Now where's the others?" Neo then looked around, not realizing she was in another gang's territory.

Falco, the charming and dashing eagle (his own words) was also in the area. As a freelancer, he didn't allow gang turf to hold him back, and simply went where the fun was. He spotted Neo and decided to give her a friendly warning. The sport of gang hunting was always more enjoyable when you were emotionally involved. He made his way to her on his board, a device of his own creation. It was neon purple, with a blue aura and despite plenty of testing, Falco had yet to reach its top speed. He had put years of work and stealing into making it, and it was truly his masterpiece. He called it 'The Mighty Chang'. He flew to Neo. "I hate to break it to you beautiful, but you're in the wrong territory here. Now, if you're intention is to be chained to a rope, have your legs 'removed' and be mailed to Dream Co in a box, then feel free to stick around. But if you're like me, and you feel you have much to contribute to society, I'd recommend that you follow me."

Neo looked at his board,"Well let me talk to your gang leader and I'll be on my way." She then jumped off her board and in a stunning fashion, she looked back at him and winked,"But for now I'll be on my way as you're the wrong person." She then proceeded to run before finally hopping on her board, which was decorated with her family's crest (A pink shield with a white tiger on the front)

A yellow and grey blur was seen speeding past them, this blur was Saren on his heavily modified extreme gear board 'nightmare refrain'. The board was crimson with a slate grey outlining with a black aura. As it rocketed past the two a feeling of sudden rage would start to feel noticable as he was headed towards the dockyard. "Oh man... This is gonna be fun!" The rider of Nightmare Refrain, also known as Saren Arcturias. Leader of the gang known as Pandemonium, shouted.

Neo almost fell off her board when Saren flew past her,"You cretin!" She shouted, following him and picking up speed.

Saren just laughed when he looked behind him before flipping off Neo and kneeling on his board in preparation to jump up the ramp with his board. "Come and catch me.. If you can!" Saren shouted.

Neo looked down at Silver Moon(her completely silver board minus the crest on the tip and the back) and with a smile caught up to Saren,"Oh I will," From behind them, police sirens could be heard.

Saren got to the edge of the ramp before he jumped, he himself getting to the top and grabbing the bar of a train in motion while his board was running itself on auto pilot below as he reached into his coats pockets and grabbed some grenades before tossing them at Neo and the cops. "Suck on this!"

Neo pulled out her katana and slashed at the grenades,"Hold it, you punk!" She flew through the smoke and was riding the roofs beside Saren.

Saren just laughed and flipped her off and let go of the train, as Nightmare Refrain was seen trailing him, landing on the board before pressing a button as the extreme gear started to shift in preparation for Saren to pull a 90 degree turn to the right.

An odd color combination, salmon-red and purple, sped by Saren. He was really close to him too, probably knocking him off his board if he wasn't paying attention. This salmon-red and purple figure was a hedgehog named Raje, a member of the OverGrindz. Closely behind this hedgehog was another one. The other hedgehog was red and yellow. He was named Zerofuse, a member of Pandemonium. He threw an empty paint can at him. "Get back here, punk!" He yelled. Raje dodged the paint can and quickly grabbed his full paint can and attempted to spray Zerofuse in the face. Zerofuse was able to move out the way. The two kept chasing each other. "Saren! Get this idiot!" He yelled to his team leader.

Neo kick flipped off the roof and continued her pursuit of Saren,"Hold it!" She weather her katana and accelerated.

"It's gonna take a lot more than that to catch me!" Saren laughed out as he grabbed his spray can and one of his twin knives.

A black vampire bat raced passed Neo on a skate-type extreme gear, using them masterfully. The bat was revealed to be Xante, riding his specialized skates, the grey beasts. He caught up to Saren and asked "Alright, who we heading for first?"

Zerofuse yelled at Xante. "Help me eliminate this kid!" Raje was riding back to Xante, unaware that Xante was apart of Zerofuse's gang.

Neo glared at the guys in front of her,"You guys are all pun-" She then hit a bump that caused her to fly off her board and into a nearby pond.

Raje saw her fly off her board. "Ooooo..." He said empathetically.

Saren just laughed while focusing on his riding. "Well, might as well go see if she's ok."

"You got it, Zerofuse." Xante shouted back, riding into Raje's way and charging up a kick with his skates. Before he could launch the kick, however, he heard Neo fall into the pond, which made him laugh quite a bit. He stopped his kick and skated over to the nearby pond "Oi, you alright in there?" He asked, seemingly forgetting about what Zerofuse had told him to do.

Zerofuse became a bit curious too, riding up to the pond as well. "Yo...you alright?" He asked. Raje skated to the pond to investigate as well.

Saren came doubling back, this time making sure to stop. "Normally i'd respond with sarcasm.. But you did manage to keep up so i'll just congradulate you." He said.

Neo got out of the pool, her hair and clothes drenched,"Yes, I'm fine but where's my board?" Neo then saw her board fly into an apartments window and mumbled,"Father is gonna kill me when he finds out."

"Yep, even though I'd prefer to do that myself." Xante replied with a laugh. Seeing Raje come over, Xante pushed him in the pond and grinned "Well, you want your board back or what?" Xante asked, flapping his wings.

Neo freaked out, knowing her family's crest which was the logo of the White Tiger Freight Company was on her board so she laughed awkwardly,"Um, its fine I can get it." She said with a smile and a wink.

"Suuuure" Xante replied with a smile "But don't say I never offered you." He took off his skates and pressed a button on them, they almost instantly changed into a board, Xante's Small Blade, a grey board with sharper edges than any other.

Neo went and retrieved her board and hoped the others wouldn't find out what the crest on her board really was,"Now to go meet Jinx." She accelerated and sped off past the guys.

Falco rode up beside her. "Well that was enjoyable. You know... you really deserve an Oscar for that. But I have three questions, which I will rank in order of how much they interest me. One, how long do you think you can keep your true clan a secret? Two, who's Jinx? And three, would you like some company on this fine ride into darkness?"

Neo held in her anger,"Look Prince Charming, just between you and me, my family owns the second largest supply company in the world and its owned by the Man so can you keep that a secret?" She asked with a flirtatious wink and a giggle.

Falco nodded. "I have no idea why you would tell me that, or why I should care. But I'll keep it a secret for you... m'lady." Falco swore to himself. Why exactly did he think being a pr*ck was a good tactic for bonding. He eventually came to the conclusion that he could do whatever he wanted and blame it on childhood trauma. He liked that.

Neo waved,"Ok be safe." She blew him a kiss and banked a sharp left, heading down the multiple alleyways.

Falco swerved and began to follow. He called her. "You know, you could just say that it's you like a normal girl. I don't think this is a particularly normal way to run away from your problems. I'm offering my assistance, at least up until the moment when they find out where you're from and burn you. I probably won't follow you that far, but until then I'm your wingman." He chuckled. Wingman, what a pun. As he continued to glide, he subtly dropped a small object onto the back of Neo's board, and tried to avoid being spotted.

Neo look behind her and saw Dream Co. Spray painted out,"Fine come to my gangs turf." She kicked up some dust and went into one of many sewer tunnels.

Xante hopped onto his board "Alright, Zerofuse, do you know where we're going next?" He asked, ready and raring to go.

"I was planning to go to the docks to see if anything interesting was going on." Saren explained. "I heard about something there and I thought we could steal it."

Falco smirked and thought to himself "Progress! This will be fun!"

Raje got up and was pushed again by Zerofuse. Zerofuse walked up to Xante. "I think we should take all the OverGrindz' places." He said.

Neo flew out of the sewers and noticed once more that she was near the docks and she saw a ship coming in with crates bearing her crest,"Just great," She mumbled, kicking off once more.

Xante grinned, showing his teeth "Something to steal, eh?" He asked "We've not done that in a while, why the heck not?"

"Only problem is, this thing at the docks is for the D.R.A.G project or something. So if we can successfully steal it, we could use it against the Overgrindz or any of the others that might stand against us.." Saren smiled as he started planning. "Now we'll need a plan because as much as I hate the man, even I understand how much of a threat he is.. We'll discuss more when we get to the docks."

Zerofuse nodded his head in understanding. He was trying to think of a plan.

Neo jumped off her board and in the crowd of people, she saw her father ready to give a speech of some sort so she put on a black hood, heading towards the direction of the crates.

Raje got up and knocked Zerofuse over and stole his board. Zerofuse got up quickly. "Hey! Get back here!" He yelled.

"Oh heck no.." Saren said as he helped Zerofuse up. "Here.. Get your board back and don't trash mine." Saren said as he handed Zerofuse Nightmare Refrain.

Zerofuse smirked and got on it. He chased after Raje. Raje, noticing Zerofuse gaining on him, quickly turned around and headed back towards Saren. As he got closer, he did a risky trick. He jumped in the air, grabbed his board, got on Zerofuse's, and rode it. As he was now only a few yards away from Saren, he jumped off Zerofuse's board and swung his own board at Saren in an attempt to knock him out.

Down on the nearby docks, Neo had almost finished spraypaintining the crates with her gang's symbol when she heard her father,"Ladies and gentlemen today is a wonderful day for Drag and White Tiger Supply and Freight," She looked away and covered her eyes with her shades.

Saren smirked as he held out his spray can and pressed down on the nozzle after shaking it after patiently waiting for the right time to spray raje in the eyes with it.

From the stage her father was closing the speech and she saw D.R.A.G. soldiers guarding someone as he walked up to the stage,"Can't believe father signed a deal with the Man," Across the way, she saw two figures on boards chasing each other but couldn't discern who they were.

Xante sat patiently on his board, though he looked awfully bored. "We goin' yet?" He asked "I wanna go cause some trouble, leave this idiot for later."

Raje was sprayed in the eyes. He fell on the ground and rubbed his eyes. Zerofuse's board hit a wall and was scratched up lightly. Zerofuse handed Saren Nightmare Refrain. He walked up to Raje and kicked him in the stomach while he was on the ground. Zerofuse smirked. "Let's crash the D.R.A.G. party." Zerofuse suggested.

"Yeah, let's crash that party!" Saren said as he took Nightmare Refrain back from Zerofuse and started headed towards the party Zerofuse mentioned. "They forgot that we don't take kindly to 'the man' let's go remind them." Saren said with a grin on his face.

Zerofuse hopped on his own board. "Time to name this guy...Flare Blitz...yeah!" He said. He hopped on Flare Blitz and rode to the party.

"Alright then." Xante said calmly. He stood up on his board "Let's crash it!" He shouted courageously.

Neo hopped on her board and left the pier in a flash, her face hidden by her hood when she flew past Saren and the guys.

Saren recognized the board as Neo's but didn't pay it any mind as he headed towards a tall building overlooking the location of the 'party' and wated for Xante and Zerofuse.

Xante put on a pair of shades and sped towards the 'party'. After arriving, he grinned at all the people there "Looks like a mighty fine party, I must say. Shame I wasn't invited though, then maybe none of this would've happened..." Xante laughed then jumped off his board for a moment, thinking of what type of Extreme Gear would be best for this. In the end, he decided that board-type would give him the most flexibility, so he hopped back on and rode next to Saren "The scenery here is beautiful, ain't it?" He asked. "I wonder if there's anywhere I can tag..."

Zerofuse smirked as he stared at a car belonging to Neo's father. "We can tag 'the man's' car." He suggested. He pointed at a building. "Or we can tag around and draw their attention." He added, putting a pair of shades on.

Falco decided that this was an ideal time to appear again. He appeared to the Pandemonium group with a smirk on his face. "You could tag a car or a wall, and you'd probably frustrate their janitors... Or you could come with me and be guaranteed a spot in the history books. If you know what I mean..." he left the question hanging. He could always turn to another group if these were too old fashioned.

Zerofuse took his paint can out and threw it in the air and caught it repetitively. "Oh yeah?"

"Go down in history you say?" Saren said, interested at what Falco was saying. "What have you got in mind?"

Nate and the other member of The OverGrindz were watching all of the action from above. "Roxy, if those other Drifters get caught, or alert any of the Dream Co police, then we can say sayonara to any of the crates that their moving." Nate warned.

"I know, but we've gotta help Raje first," Roxy replied.

"Agreed"

The two birds quickly raced towards Raje, who was still lying on the ground. "I hope Nathan hurries over here, we sent him a message half an hour ago" Nate said.

"Oh it comes in steps" Falco chuckled. "Steps that I'll tell you once you've agreed to work with me, and shook on it. You are gentlemen, I assume?"

"We have an agreement..." Saren chuckled as he shook Falco's hand. "But by chance does this little plan of your have anything to do with the docks and Project D.R.A.G?" Saren asked before he slashed the tires on the car that belonged to Neo's father.

Falco chuckled. "It just might. Step one is to acquire a hostage from a rival gang. Someone who has lasting worth. And it just so happens that the man leading D.R.A.G has a daughter in a rival gang. And she's in the area. We get her, and we have total control over D.R.A.G."

Neo continued to skate far from the pier and hoped that no-one would follow her. "Ok first thing is to hide out until i can meet up with my gang." She took a sharp left turn and went into an abandoned warehouse.

Falco took a strange device out of his backpack and showed it to Saren. "This here is a tracking device, which tracks a teeny little object that I attached to the girl's board. We can find her. Comprendo?"

"Comprendo... Zerofuse, Xante, ready your gear. We're going hunting." Saren said before he handed Falco a small device. "Use this to communicate with us, since she's apart of a rival gang I'd suspect the other members won't take too kindly to us kidnapping her so overwatch would be necessary if we are to pull this off." Saren explained.

Neo got off her board and saw crates of various sizes in the warehouse, "Now I know there was a secret entrance to the sewers somewhere." She said, walking through crates and holding her board in her left arm.

Falco took the device. "For some reason she's hiding out in a warehouse. For plot convenience, there are three escape routes for her. Each one of you cover one of them. I'm programming the directions into your boards now. Good luck gentlemen."

Neo uncovered the enterance to the sewers and then she headed down and started to skate down the many sewer ways.

"Alright guys, we each go cover an escape point, try to be subtle and quick. With any luck this will be a walk in the park." Saren said as he quickly activated his board and went towards escape point number one before grabbing a seperate comms device. "Zerofuse, Xante. I want you to cover escape routes two and three respectively.. Set up traps, seal up the exit, heck knock the girl out if you have to. This could be our chance.. Also, be on the lookout for rival gangs.. I'd rather we don't go through a hostage situation." He explained to Xante and Zerofuse.

Falco sat comfortably in an alleyway, using his iPad to 'direct the traffic'. He found Neo. "Saren, she's coming through the sewers. That's your point. Expect an encounter any second now..."

Zerofuse had ridden to the warehouse in case she came out the sewers.

Neo flew out of the sewers and promptly....ran over Saren,"Sorry!" She yelled on the street now.

Saren snarled and engaged in persuit of Neo, holding his spray can inside his sleeved coat. "Zerofuse, Xante... Intercept her and try and lead her towards our turf." Saren said on comms as he unholstered a stun gun.

Falco swore to himself. "C'mon man. Stay on her. I guess I'll have to do this myself." Falco hopped on his board and moved to intercept Neo. He noticed an intersection up ahead that she was about to pass. It was time for a little... crash.

Zerofuse decided to go in the sewers himself. "Guys, I entered the sewers. Can you help guide me?"

Falco sighed. "Zerofuse, you are about ten minutes behind the actual plot. Exit the sewers. There's like, a massive chase going on in the streets. Join it." He shakes his head and mumbles to himself "Noob..."

"It's a great day for a stun gun surprise." Saren mumbled to himself as he used the boost function on his gear to get closer to Neo before firing the stun gun at Neo's midsection.

Zerofuse got out the sewers and rode as fast as he could. He was a few yards from Neo, ready to tackle her if Saren had missed.

Neo hit a bump causing het skirt to fly up and she was now riding on the roofs,"What do you want?!" She asked, still worried.

Just then, a wild Falco appeared. He soared directly into her and the two plummeted down onto the ground. Falco put his hand in the air. "Ladies and gentlemen... I am awesome!"

Saren chuckled, still holding the remains of the now useless stun gun. "Zerofuse, Xante.. We got the target."

Falco cleared his throat. "I got the man. And it's a woman, actually." He looked at Neo and tutted. "Sorry, sexism is a tragedy."

Neo hit the ground hard and she cried out in shock before losing conciousnes.

Zerofuse picked Neo up and slung her over his shoulder. "What now?" He asked.

"We head to the dusk District, more specifically our portion of the dusk district... From there, we discuss phase two and possibly induct a new member. " Saren said, gesturing to Falco as he said the last part.

Falco smirked. He took Neo from Zerofuse and began to hover away with her in his arms. He motioned for the others to follow. For the sake of plot pacing, Falco did not explain how he knew where the Dusk District base was, but went there and tied her to a chair (because he saw it in a movie once). He then poured water on her head and waited for the others to catch up and for her to wake up.

shortly after, Saren had arrived at Pandemonium's headquarters with Xante and Zerofuse most likely not far behind. "Home sweet base..." Saren said as he observed the outside of the surprisingly organized base. "Hopefully my base's security won't be compromised." He said to himself.

Meanwhile, Nox was on his extreme gear, Midnight's fang when he heard the explosions near the warehouse and decided to investigate. Midnight Fang was a dark purple set of skates with deep crimson highlights and slots on the soles for maximum speed. "Wonder whats going on?" He asked to himself.

"Haha! That was awesome, Boss! Let's do it again!" came a young man's voice.

"Nah, we gotta stick to the plan. Keep focused, everyone," replied an older-sounding male. The sound of skating could be heard, as something hitting the gas and moving forward, likely caused by those who spoke.

Neo woke up and moaned,"Ok who did the cliche movie tie up?" She asked, now more annoyed than worried.

"I had a chair, a rope and a babe. What was I supposed to do? The others are on their way. Sorry for the betrayal. Don't worry, I plan on betraying them eventually too. You'll be free soon enough. Just try to answer their questions and not burn down the base... yet." Falco whispered so that Saren couldn't hear.

"Saren, over here. I tied her to a chair!" Falco called. "Ask her some questions, then we can use her as leverage."

"''Zerofuse, Xante.. I don't trust Falco, so be on the lookout for any signs of treachery and make sure he doesn't go explore the base.." ''Saren whispered before he went to go check on Neo.

"So boss. What do you want to know? When the questions are over I'll make contact with her father for you." Falco said to Saren, fully aware of the suspicions that he had planted. It was all part of the plan...

Zerofuse gripped his Flare Blitz, waiting to see if Falco would turn out to be a friend or foe.

Neo watched Saren approach her and she thought that he looked...anxious,as if hes wanting something,"So whyd you kidnap me?"

"Because your daddy is such a swell guy, and we really want to get to know him better." Falco chuckled.

Zerofuse loosened his grip on Flare Blitz, thinking Falco wasn't going to try anything. A laugh escaped.

Neo glared at the team,"My father only cares for money,theres now way he'd agree to whatever terms your lame...but cute...boss has cooked up." She told them.

Saren blushed slightly, but otherwise was able to keep focused on the objective at hand. "Simple.. We wanted to know about whats being produced at the docks.. Also a little get together between our groups for negotiations." Saren said, still not trusting Falco even as far as he could toss him.

Neo looked at him through her shades,"Father never tells me anything so please i have to...you know," Neo said,twisting her legs as if shes holding something in.

Xante was behind the others, configuring with his board when he heard the words "Cute boss" in the same sentence, which caused him to chuckle a small bit before returning to his gear, occasionally looking up from his tampering to hear what the others were saying.

Nathan managed to reach on a cloud-like gear he made with his powers. "Hey guys, what's going on?"

"We got ourselves a bargaining chip.. A flirty one at that." Saren told Xante as he silently mouthed to keep track of Falco once he was close enough to Xante so Falco couldn't read his lips.

Neo gave them another cold stare and in a princess-y voice whined,"Come on i really need to go." She then wiggled a bit.

"Got it." Xante whispered back before looking up again, trying to resist a "Well excuse me, princess!" line, which he thankfully did not do. He turned back to his gear, though this time kept a closer eye on Falco than he did before ''"That bird is trouble, I don't know what it is but I don't like him one bit..." ''Xante thought to himself.

Saren didn't resist the urge. "Well excuse me, princess!" He said sarcastically

Neo gave a shirt grin,"How about you let me go and i won't have the police burn your sorry excuse for a hideout." She hoped the bluff would work but if not theb she'd freak.

Zerofuse looked at Saren. "Think she'd snitch?" He asked.

Seemingly finishing up with his gear, Xante placed it in a hiding place and flew up to hang from the ceiling, from there, he looked down upon everyone in the base ''"Alright, that Falco guy is... there, I see him now." ''He thought, watching Falco's every move.

Falco burst out laughing. "You know, I just realised that everyone in this room is glaring at me. Isn't that funny?"He started pacing the room and glanced up at Xante, but quickly enough that it wasn't noticeable. "I mean, I've done everything for you guys. And all I wanted in return was to be one of the guys..." He chuckled tauntingly and raised a device frok his pocket. "And I suppose I wanted the sweet princess here all to myself for reasons that I would be truly foolish to reveal. But this toy here is a tracking beacon, and a D.R.A.G response team will be here in seconds." He looked ar Neo. "I told you that you'd be fine." He stared directly at Saren. "There's no point in running, they've got twenty men at every entrance and there are only two people they're going to let out. The first is the young lady you have tied to a chair. The second is me." He bowed, because it just felt like the right thing to do given the circumstances.

Zerofuse was angry. So angry that flames radiated off his body. "You little...!" He ran up to Falco, throwing a punch aimed at his gut.

Neo hoped that since they were distracted she could escape so she started to hop away slowly

Saren just grinned in response.. "So you say, but I have a feeling that you underestimated us, or why we're called Pandemonium in the first place." Saren smirked as he pressed a button on his gauntlet. "You think i'm dumb enough to not have safety measures in events like these? Well, Hasta las vistas! Zerofuse, Xante just follow me and stick to the plan." Saren said as beeping sounds could be heard in and around the base. "Ya gotta love explosives, and a cousin in high places who provided said explosives.".

Saren saw Neo and willed tendrils made of shadows to wrap around her and drag her to Saren. "This guy will turn ya in.. If ya can get us outta this mess, I'll repay the favor in kind." Saren whispered to neo. " Zerofuse, stick to the plan!"

Zerofuse didn't even hear Saren. He was too busy trying to knockout Falco.

Neo gave Saren a flirtatious wink and whispered back,"Only if you agree to a date." She then turned to everyone else and shouted,"Oh my you drive such a bargain."

Saren whispered back. "Fine, but i'm not abandoning Zerofuse or Xante.." Saren said as he willed the shadows around Falco's feet to silently wrap around his feet.

"I have no intention of turning her in you idiot!" Falco roared between punches. "I need her help and this seemed like the best way to ask. I'd gladly hekp you get out of this and even join your little club, but I need the girl for a project bigger than your petty gang war. I don't want enemies, I'm not an idiot." While waiting for a response, Falco came to the realisation that perhaps this hadn't been the best way to go anout it, and made a note ti stop being inspided by Hollywood in future.

Neo smiled and told him,"Untie me please." Neo asked with a kinder tone.

Zerofuse was still angry. "I don't care about her. I care about D.R.A.G. off my tail." He said, his flames dying down.

"I still have to keep my word with Neo and go on a date with her, not that i'm complaining.. Maybe I'll use this as a way to get in a second date?" He said while both Zerofuse and Falco were restrained so they wouldn't tear up the place." Saren said as he untied Neo. "Did you actually call in D.R.A.G." Saren asked.

Falco chuckled. "Step outside and find out for yourself if you're that sure you can take them. Otherwise consider my proposal. I like the girl and can swear that no harm will come to her if you allow me to use her for my plan."

"Dude... If you wanted Neo so badly you coukd have just asked. We would have helped in return for a favor instead of bringing in D.R.A.G." Saren responded. "I still have to go on a few dates with her... I gave my word so don't kill her." Saren said with a sweatdrop.

"Wait, WHAT?! Xante shouted, falling from the ceiling onto his head "Ow..." He said, rubbing his head. He quickly stood up when he realised what a fool of himself he made. "I mean... uh, HEY! I made a thing!" He brought out a gear part that would hopefully cover his tracks "I made it so that it transforms a gear into an Air-Ride-type, making it possible for a little more flight than a standard board... heh heh, thing is, it only works one way, I was not able to make a mechanism that works backwards, sorry about that, though it's still in early stages, I might make it go both ways if you guys want, heavy demand is a good thing, no?" Xante asked, he then realised he looked even worse now. "Hm..." Is all he could say as he walked over to where he stored his board and took it out and began to configure with it some more, hoping that everyone would forget about what just happened.

Neo giggled and winked at Saren,"I'll come by next Friday to pick you up for the date so wear something...elegant." She told him, running out of the warehouse and yelling,"Hands down guys! I'm safe!" She then used a sound effects machine to make police sounds and jumped on her board, heading back to her gang's territory.

"I just got played like a fiddle didn't I?" Saren asked as he deactivated the armed explosives around the base.

"Yep" Xante replied, stopping n his board "Saren, I'll need a DNA sample from you for... research purposes." Xante said walking to a small part of the base lined with chemistry sets "Then you go for a well deserved sleep on Friday, and I'll make sure nothing out of the ordinary happens, okay?" Xante tried to look as courageous as he could, which actually made him blush.

"Alright.." Saren said as he stuck his arm out for Xante to do what he needed to do.

''"Huh, that was easier than expected..." ''Xante thought while bringing out a syringe, checking it to make sure it wasn't used. He injected Saren and waited for the syringe to fill "There we go, all done. Want a lollipop?" He asked sarcastically. "Well I don't have any, so too bad." Xante said, not giving time for a reply. He walked over to the set and placed the DNA sample in a test tube "Alright, this shouldn't take long, I think. Hey, anyone know what day it is?" Xante asked, looking through the test tube and taking a few notes.

"It's Thursday, 10:45 P.M, speaking of which.. I'm going to sleep.. Hey Zero! It was a hoax played by Neo.. I'd suggest you calm down and get some shut eye, you too Xante.. Don't want you flipping out like last time." Saren said as he headed to his room.

Xante chuckled, mumbling a small "That's not why I flipped out..." though he wasn't heard by anyone. After finishing with his notes, Xante smiled a bit and combined the DNA samples with a substance he had made in case he ever needed to do something like this "Zerofuse, I suggest leaving for a moment, the aftermath of this could get a little messy..." Xante said, once again bringing out a new syringe and taking the mixture of the DNA and the substance inside. "Right, now I'll need something to test it on... something that wouldn't mind dying if this goes horribly wrong, hm... nothing here, I guess." Xante wrote a note saying "Gone for a midnight ride, if I'm not back by morning I'm probably dead -Xante". He picked up his board and put the syringe in his pocket, he was going to find someone to take the substance, whether they wanted to or not.

Zerofuse nodded and sat against a wall with Flare Blitz next to him. He looked at Xante. "So what does that do exactly?"

Xante's eyes widened "If I told you, I wouldn't hear the end of it..." He sighed "Though do you promise not to tell ANYONE? Not even Saren can know what this does, it would destroy the space time continuum! Well... not really, but if he knew about it, I'd either be kicked from the team or ashamed for the rest of my life, not sure which one is worse, to be honest with ya." Xante stared at the ground, "Alright, I'll tell you... but if you tell anyone, I'll have your head. See this syringe? Well, it contains a blood sample of Saren, along with something I prepared in my lab quite a while ago. It's basically meant to make the person that either drinks it or injects it into their self see a specific person as someone else. This one would make myself look like Saren, because it contains DNA from both him and myself in it. As I said before, you can either ingest it or inject it, both ways do the same and work about as equally. Only problem I have is the voice, I haven't quite perfected that yet, though I'm sure my impersonation should work." He finished his whole explanation with a deep breath. "Alright, please don't ask me how exactly it works, because that would take over two hours at least, and I'm honestly not sure you could cope with something over one hour, maximum. So... a quick question... would you mind if I tested it on you and you told me the results?" Xante asked Zerofuse.

Zerofuse dumbly nodded. "Sure."

"Really?" Xante asked, quite surprised "Alright then, here it is..." He stuck the syringe inside Zerofuse's right arm and waited until half the liquid was gone "There we go, any more and the effect would be permenant..." Xante walked over to the notes he was taking earlier and resumed them "Okay, Zerofuse, tell me what you see right now, please." He said.

Zerofuse was hallucinating vividly. His blood cells were not mixing with the other blood cells. His depth perception was off, he saw in different colors, and all sounds were distorted. He was unable to speak either, too confused to know what was going on. He tried to speak. "Ah...ah..." He stuttered.

"Are you... kidding me?!" Xante slammed his head on the desk "I spent three weeks on that!" He kicked the wall and sat down, crossing his arms. "Ugh... I thought I'd be able to trick her..."

Zerofuse rolled around on the floor, trying to focus on life. He grabbed for the ceiling, thinking he could stand up like that. "AHH!" He screamed loudly.

Xante angrily sighed "Zero, the effects should not harm you as much as that... I think. Hey, are you... okay?" Xante asked, he looked slightly worried. "Oi! Snap out of it!" Xante grabbed Zero and stood him up "You look kinda weird, what exactly are you seeing right now?" He asked, genuinely worried,

Zerofuse stuck his hand out and a blast of darkness mixed with fire came out. The blood mixed with Zerofuse's, mixing their powers as well. He started to snap out of it. "C-c...colors!" He answered.

Chapter 2: Party Crashers
While Pandemonieum was going on at the hideout of.....well...Pandemonium. The OverGrindz were gathered together at the docks. Their leader, Nate, looked at Nathan. "Nathan, carry Raje, back to the hideout," he requested. "Me and Roxy will find out what's going on here."

Falco was angry. After all of his effort, and possibly going a bit over the top, the idiots had let Neo go. He ran at a can and tried to kick it, but missed. There was a metaphor somewhere in that... He turned back towards the Pandemonium base and cursed to himself. It was time for Plan B.

Xante slapped Zerofuse "Alright, so the thing didn't go as expected, stop being like that." He said, an idea came to his mind "Hey, what if we used this against people? I mean, I only gave you half of it and look what happened, if I gave someone all of it, the effects would be catastrophic! So, what do you think, Zer-" Xante stopped "Uh, you should probably go take a lie down for now, you don't look so good..."

Falco walked back into the base and stared at Xante and Zerofuse in a compromising position. "1. I don't care what this is, and we shall never mention it again. 2. I need your help in destroying D.R.A.G and being part of the dominant gang in the city. Are you two idiots on board?"

Saren chose this time to walk in. "Make that three non idiots, also.. I did place a device and I have plenty of opportunities to catch her on that date I promised her... Also, Zerofuse, Xante.. If your gonna have an intimate relationship together at least keep it down." Saren said with a chuckle.

"I was testing some things on him, Saren, don't get excited." Xante replied "Alright, I don't think he's very... stable right now, I injected something into him and he started shooting a strange type of fireball, which was not very handy at all for my research, other than the fact that my substance failed... A-anyway, let's ride!" He ran over to his board's hiding place and brought it out, changing it into skates.

"Hold on.. What did you do to Zerofuse?.. Did you inject something with my blood in it?" Saren asked, not really pissed but kinda annoyed.

"He wanted me to, it was nothing serious... though I think he had a seizure, uh... He's been kind of strange for the past... However long it's been since I gave him it." Xante answered "It was supposed to do something, but it didn't and now he may or may not require medical attention."

Falco simply stood there, waiting for someone to acknowledge the fact that he offered the chance to take down D.R.A.G and essentially give Pandemonium full control over the city. He whistled that one piece from 'The Shawshank Redemption' to get their attention. "If it's a weapon, then use it. Otherwise shut up and give me an answer. I'm going to destroy D.R.A.G., or the equivalent of it, and I could do with some extra men."

"So what's the plan Falco." Saren asked, quite liking the movie reference.

Remembering that Saren had told him to keep an eye on Falco, Xante happily agreed "Have patience, I was getting my gear ready" He told Falco while putting on his skates and jumping up "Alright then, anyone else gonna come along?"

Falco was about to point out that the suspicions that Saren had told Xante to look out for was past tense and that the group had moved on to Chapter 2, but then decided that if not correcting him would get him to follow Falco, it was worth it. He sighed for future generations.

Zerofuse looked at Xante briefly. "I don't feel too goo-" Before he could finish, he collapsed.

"Hey Xante, Falco checks out.. No need to be suspicious of him." Saren said, remembering that order he gave to Xante. "Hey Falco, you mind helping me carry Zerofuse?" Saren asked Falco.

After correcting Saren's lower case spelling of his name, Falco reluctantly helped Saren lift Zerofuse. He then heard a beeping noise on his watch device thingy and dropped Zerofuse to check it.

Neo changed her mind and went to her home, an elegant, completely white mansion with D.R.A.G. guards posted outside and she looks down depressed before thinking of an idea,"Maybe this isn't too bad, I could use him for something more." Neo told herself and she heads to her room, changing into a long, white dress.

Saren just stuck with his usual variation of clothing, only the apparel he had on looked more crisp and sharp than his normal attire. "What a pain.... I was played like a two bit fiddle and duped into a date with my bargaining chip, oh well.. Life is life I suppose." Saren mumbled to himself before heading out into KinetiChaos's turf on Nightmare Refrain after taking Zerofuse to the hospital.

Neo was riding on Silver Moon, her long white dress whipping in the wind until she saw Saren and waved,"Hey! I was just heading over to you." She yelled, applying another coat of blood red lipstick.

Saren spotted her and waved, taking notice of her fancy dress and feeling a tiny bit under dressed.

When Neo got to Saren she giggled,"Sorry Father changed the date of the party to today and i'd advise you to hide your board as there are D.R.A.G. posted outside." She told him, enjoying herself.

"Alright.." Saren said as he deactivated his board and stored it in his shadow. "Gotta love shadow powers, nothing can beat a pocket dimension accesible by my own shadow."

Neo deactivated her. turning it into an necklace and she pointed to a tall building with 5 D.R.A.G. officers posted outside,"The Dream Co. building is where the event is being held," She told him, looping her arm through his and pulling him to the building and one of the officers nodded to her to which, she replied with a head bow.

Saren just blinked, still confused as to the events that led up to this and wary of the D.R.A.G soldiers in the building and wondering if a couple knives could help him should things get ugly. Jade and Jinx were on top of the dream co. building surveying the visitors of the party with binoculars, "well then," Jade said with a grin, "looks like Neo's here with the leader of Pandemonium, that should get interesting~" she laughed

"What are you implying Jade?" Jinx asked her looking down at the guests.

"Oh nothing~" Jade said smiling again, "so you ready yet?"

"Almost, there doesnt seem to be anyone else of interest or anyone who could pose a threat other than the D.R.A.G. squaddies so we should be fine, we'll just have to apologize to Neo after ruining her 'date'" Jinx said poofing away their binoculars and poofing up their boards, Jinx's being Star Shot and Jade's being Dark Light.

Jade walked over to the opposite side of the building, "okay so remember the plan, we begin when the last guest enters got it? good." Jade readied her board.

Falco was nearby and in deep cover. He suspected that Saren was going to fall for the girl in typical Hollywood fashion, and decided that he needed to get there first. Neo was crucial to his plan... and she looked pretty good in that dress. The plan was to infiltrate the party, successfully become popular among the snobs and soldiers, and then get a moment alone with Neo to explain his plan. Saren was an issue. Luckily he was still safe, due to his deep cover (he was wearing a different coloured shirt).

Saren's gut feeling was telling him that something might go wrong, and being a leader of one of the gangs meant he listened to his gut feeling, he put his hands into his pockets. Fingering the hilts of his knives  just in case something were to go wrong.

Neo pulled Saren into the building and led him to where the party was, which was the 50th floor of the building, and saw her father talking to The Man and whispered to Saren,"Remember this is a date so for tonight forget D.R.A.G. and have some fun." She told him intentionally putting her face close to his.

"Um.. Not this time." Saren said as he backed up, his gut feeling getting stronger.

Being a bird, Falco had the uncanny ability to fly. He flew uo to Floor 49 (in case of security), and took the stairs up the last bit of the way. He passed security using a specially designed psychic ID (they saw what they wanted to see), Falco entered the frey. He instantly spotted Saren and Neo. Neo looked stunning in the dress, and Falco almost lost hunself for a moment. He realised that he would have to be cautious to avoid them IDing him, and came up with a brilliant. He walked up to Neo's father. "Hello sir. My name is Falco and I am one of D.R.A.G.'s largest investors [that wasn't a total lie, Falco had accidentally made a donation before, beloeving the term 'drag' to be a teference to something else], and I couldn't help but notice that your lovely daughter appears to be on a date with the leader of Pandemonium. I encountered him previously when he tagged my car, and yet he got away with his gang." Falco waited to see what Neo's father would do about that...

"Okay that's the last one Jade" Jinx said watching Falco fly into the building.

"Well then," she said taking out her spray paint, " lets cause some chaos!"

At the same time both Jade and Jinx jumped on their boards and started to ride down the building in spirals, spraying the building while doing so, eventually reaching the bottom and crashing through the first floors windows beginning to ride up the stairs to the party.

The man looked at Falco and sneered,"My daughter with one of those ruffians," He then whispered to The Man and the two laughed,"Now be on your way and thank you for the donation." Her father then went to the stage preparing to give a speech.

"Something's coming.." Saren said, hearing a pair of familiar sounds.

Falco was surprised. He had totally misinterpreted the relationship between Neo and her father. And he also had a sneaking suspicion that a number of subplots were about to clash. He looked at Neo and felt something he hadnmt felt in a long time... Guilt. He walked towards Neo and Saren. "Anyone else have a sinking feeling that a load of plot pointd are going to clash and cause some issues? In other words, I would suggest that you two leave before your daddy has Saren decapitated or something."

From below Falco, Jade and Jinx burst through the floor, "IT'S ME!" Jade yelled looking around at the shocked faces of the guests, "Hello all you people! I am the leader of the drifter gang Kinetichaos! maybe you've heard of me?" she looked around waiting for an answer, "no? well then I'm here to cause chaos! so you can start running and screaming in a panicy fashion now" Jade and Jinx both started to spray paint anything in sight, and taking valubles too.

Saren just sighed and grabbed nightmare refrain from his shadow, looking for a viable window to jump out of before engaging Nightmare Refrain or if flight won't work, he's prepared with his spray cans and his knives.

Falco turned to Neo and offered her a gun. "Play time is over, lock n'load... M'lady".

Neo glanced from Saren to her teammates and yelled,"Jade Jinx whats the meaning of this?!" She was more furious that she hadnt got to kiss Saren and that her perfect night had just been ruined.

And it wasn't going to get any better, you see Saren, Falco and Kinetichaos weren't the only party crashers in the area. Nate and Roxy, from the OverGrindz, were also in the party. They were to cute little bird couple sitting in the corner. Nate was wearing Rayband sunglasses and a black tuxeudo. Roxy was wearing an attractive yet humble orange dress.

"I can't believe you actually convinced me to come here," Roxy said with a slight frown. "When you said we were going to rendezvouz somewhere after the whole dockyard mission, i didn't think you meant a another mission after that."

"Well, think of it as a....mission date then," Nate said in an attempt to make her feel bettter. "It's better than spending a night in a garage."

"True," she replied, a smile starting to form on her face. "At least we get some alone time together from the other guys.

Saren made a mental note to thank any diety that was watching over him after he either escaped or fought his way out.

During the chaos, Falco spotted Neo's father heading out of a side entrance? A panic room perhaps? He ran up to Neo's father, 'The Man', and a couple of board executives. "Do you have a panic room? These psychopaths are ruining everything!" He winked at Neo on his way out, and nodded towards the gun in his pocket.

Jinx stopped in front of Neo, "sorry bout' this, but the other plan failed so we did this! also we have nothing better to do, so yeah! its your fault for coming here." She then spotted Falco leaving with the executives and others and called to Jade, "hey they're leaving!"

Jade stopped what she was doing and looked at them, "let em' be for now, we still got what we came here for," she nods toward the box on her board.

"Funny... Wouldn't a rival gang leader without his other two compatriots be an easy target? I mean there are three of you and only one of me..." Saren said with a grin as he started mocking them.

Jinx looked at him with a frown, "yeah no, we're not gonna fall for your taunting," she said sitting down on her board, "plus, we're already gonna have to deal with the wrath of Neo for ruining your little 'date'"

"Yeah.. You probably should not have done that.. Oh well, I was hoping at least one of you would fall for it.. I wouldn't have felt as bad about what Zerofuse and Xante are doing." Saren said, forgetting that Zerofuse and Xante might be at the hospital because of Xante's experiment.

Now that chaos had enveloped the party, Nate and Roxy were able to goo and get what they came for. "Alright, let's move it!" Nate exclaimed as he took Roxy's hand. The two OverGrindz quickly make their way towards the exit of the building. Once they were outside, the two people ducked around the alley and headed toward the side of the building.

Neo turned back to Saren and mouthed, Sorry but i really enjoyed your company, She then looked at her teammates and told them,"Let's go back to base." She then saw her emerald flashing and threw the tracker onto Saren.
