"Sun Wukong," Both Isaiah and Lia say with stars in their eyes.
Everyone turns and looks at them awkwardly.
"I forget all of these people know him personally and not as some super celebrity," Isaiah says to himself, looking over at Lia with the same expression.
"Do you think we will get to meet up?" Lia says in a low voice
"I don't know, I'm the new kid, but wouldn't it be so cool? He's a legend among legends in the anime community." Isaiah replied
"Oh yea, I forgot you're still new. I feel like you have been here forever for some reason. But yea, I heard 20 years ago when Sun WuKung revealed himself to the world. The anime community literally fried the internet servers all through Asia in his honor. Lia whispers
"That's so cool … I'll meet him no matter what." Isiah thought.
"That's why you all will be going to K2," Medusa says.
"K2? Where is that?" Xavier asks.
"China, Akari has been meditating there for quite some time now. She was scheduled to come out of seclusion in 3 months, but someone has caught wind of her location. So it's the reason you all will be going. Akari has no idea she's in danger right now."
"Oh, I thought we were talking about drugs for a second. Xavier said in a low voice.
"What, Kind of Terrorist group is after her? Lia asks
"We aren't current, but we think it could be the same Elite Terrorist group we encountered on our last mission, The Phantom Patriots. Mr. DeRossi said.
Isaiah looks over to Xavier to look at his expressions as they are talking about the Terrorist Elites. For a sec Isaiah thought he saw Xavier's eyebrow twitch with annoyance.
"What a vague sign," Isaiah thought.
"What could be getting on his nerves? I'll definitely keep an eye on him on this mission."
"Ughh, I hate the cold!" Lia complains
"Don't worry, I'll keep you warm," Isaiah says to Lia with a smirk.
Kat notices how close Isaiah and Lia got after their date last night.
"For a girl who is afraid of Men, she sure is close to this one. Why does she feel so safe and open around him, I wonder? Did their date go that well?" Kat thought.
"You will all leave in about 4 hours, so gear up and get ready." Mr. DeRossi said.
They all start to head downstairs with the exemption of Medusa.
"Kathryn, wait, I would like to talk to you in private. She says with a smile.
"Sure, mom wassup?" Kat says.
"Mom? Since when did you call me that? What happened to Momma?" Medusa asked dramatically.
"Momma, relax, you're going to embarrass me," Kat says as she looks around and sees Xavier and Carly giggling as they walk out the door.
"We'll. I wanted to check up on you because I know that Isaiah and Amelia went on a date last night. I also know how you get with a boy you like. Medusa says.
"But I say him first, momma, it's not fair," Kat says, complaining.
"That may be true, but he chose Amelia, your sworn sister, and my adopted daughter. Meaning she is family, and family has no strife between them. Medusa says
"Ok, I won't come between them," Kat says, looking away.
"Kathryn, listen to me. Amelia is possessed by Gaia (The All-Mother), and Gaia wouldn't let her host be with just anyone. There is a bigger plan in motion here. Medusa says, looking into Kathryn's eyes.
"What do you mean?" Kat asks
"That doesn't matter; what I'm saying is that Gaia is a being that your father nor I can cross, so do not meddle into her affairs … for your sake and ours," Medusa says, hugging Kat.
"I had no idea Lia was possessed by such a being that even my parents can get raddled like this. If I'm going to make a move on Isaiah, I need to look for more information on this ( All Mother), Kat thought.

In the Mission Room
"And there, everything that you are wearing should be enchanted now," Lia says with a grin.
"Really? It doesn't feel any different." Isaiah says, looking down at himself.
"Did you wear that on our last mission?" Carly says, walking up
"No, the last ones were my school uniform. These are my own clothes." Isaiah said, pointing down to his white & black Nike tracksuit.
"So what did you do to it?" Isaiah asks Lia
"It should work like normal armor, with keeping your flexibility. It's all so bulletproof and Element proof. So that tracksuit will pretty much last forever. Lia said.
"When are you going to make me some armor too? I feel like the only thing that looks normal. Isaiah pouted at Carly.
Lia was wearing a black crop top with green armor and back leggings with the same color armor covering her legs. She looks like a druid in a hold RPG, Isaiah thought.
Xavier was wearing slick metal armor that tightly fitted his body. However, what stuck out to Isaiah was Xavier's metal gauntlets. They were dark ebony black, and the metal on them looked like dragon scales.
"I wonder how Xavier fights when using his ability." Isaiah thought.
"What are you talking about? Titus isn't wearing any armor either." Carly says, pointing to her brother.
"Huh? I'm not going to wear any on this mission because this would be good training for me. Can you make me a cooling chamber when we get back, sis? So I can train in the cold all the time?" Titus says as he starts air boxing.
Titus was wearing the school uniform but only the sweat pants.
"Why doesn't he have a shirt? Kat said, approaching the group.
"No one knows," Lia says, shaking her head.
"Are you really going to make him that cooling chamber.?" Xavier asks
"Yea, that sounds like a cool idea, plus why not? He's my brother," Carly says, shrugging her shoulders.
"Then can you make a Sauna too," Isaiah asks?
"OOo, Yea, I like that idea too," Xavier says.
"Don't we already have one?" Carly says
"Yea, it's way on the other side of the mansion, though, where the butlers and maids live," Kat said.
"Come on, Carly, make us a Sauna for us; that sounds really relaxing. Lia says.
"That sounds like a wonderful Idea. You can put it right next to the pool just outside the gates to the tiny homes." Mr.DeRossi Said, sneaking up on everyone.
"Alright! Fine, that does sound pretty relaxing. But, Mr. DeRossi, you only said that because that's right next to your tiny home. Carly said with suspicious eyes.
"I should get some reward looking after you, Brats. I mean students." Mr. DeRossi said with a smile.
"Alright, that fair counts this as a gift from all of us then," Carly said.
"Mr. DeRossi lives in the Tiny Homes with us?" Isaiah whispers over to Lia
"Yea, I thought you knew. Did you really think they would let teenagers have a whole courtyard to themselves with no supervision? Lia says
"True. I should think twice next time I have Lia over. I know vampires have super hearing or something." Isaiah thought.
"Alright, for this mission, the team lead will be Carly. Since all of you will be going on this mission, two Kings Knights will be on standby. One being Medusa's and the other one being Sun Wukung's.
"But I get the feeling like if you call Sun Wukung's Knight, then he might come himself, so don't call his Knight first." Mr. DeRossi says
Both Lia and Isaiah look at each other and smirk.
"You'll all be on a time limit to find her, then get her out of here safely. If the time runs out, the Knight will deploy and search for her themselves. That can not happen.
Remember, the 7 Kings have whole continents there in charge of. So don't let this be added to the list of problems they already have. Mr. DeRossi adds.
"Alright, team, let's move out. Titus, you take point as the spear, Xavier, rarer as the cover, and Isaiah will take the middle as our defense. Ladies, we'll be in the gaps. Carly says with authority.
Then they head off into the portal going to K2.
