"Hey! Hey! Wake up! Are you alright?" asked a voice as he pushed Kenzo right and left. "Hun…?" Kenzo questioned half asleep. "Look Feng is hurt and Azazel as well!" Shrieked another one. "Hey, get ahold of yourself Helios! Poseidon! Ezekiel!" called the others worriedly. "What in the world happened here?" asked Mikael baffled picking Ryan up. "Xavier, Gabriel. Wake up!" called Dennis. "What just happened?" Adam asked sitting up. His head spinning. "Augh~ my back hurts~" Cassiel moaned.
"Are you alright?" the others surrounding them anxiously. Kenzo sitting, recollected the memory of last night. "Really… just what in the heavens world happened last night to get you all so tattered up like this?" asked Christopher grabbing Gabriel. Soon Helios woke up grasping his head instsntly remembering, "Poseidon!" he looked right and left. "Where is he?!" he asked standing up anxiously.
"Helios… I am here…" Poseidon whispered waving his hand to him while Ezekiel smiled. Looking at him he rushed towards the two of them. "Are you alright?!" Helios asked nervously. "Yes… I am fine. You worry needlessly." Poseidon assured. Helios gazed at him nervous soon calming down. "I was… really scared." he whispered looking at the ground frightened. Ezekiel and Poseidon surprised gently patted his shoulder.
"Really… our captain is so fragile." Ezekiel teased. Helios smiled. "How's Feng's leg?" Xavier asked Theo. "I am fine!! Jumping around!!" Feng exclaimed recovering from the shock. Adam stared at him speechless soon looking at Seraph who smiled at him, "Don't always think of protecting me! You big idiot!!" he angered.
"Haha, I can't help it. You are just too cute for me to let you get hurt." Seraph responded. Ezekiel hearing his comment laughed while Luka sighed in disbelief. "Azazel, Heber. How are you both?" asked Kenzo anxiously. "Fine…" the two of them replied dejected. Ryan tracing them all exhaled, turning to his broken bat. "Who in the world did all this?" Hadi asked ruffling his hairs. Hearing his words, all thirteen boys sat silent.
The others looked at them worriedly. "Highschoolers are here…" Cassiel wiped his glasses. "What?! You mean? You fought with them last night?" asked Damian stunned. "Hah… it was a huge loss." Xavier shook his head mortified. "We lost like amateurs." Seraph added. "I just feel like slamming my head on a wall." uttered Feng. The boys looked at each other silent.
"They… were on a whole different level." Helios told. "As annoying as it is to accept. Since, it was night. I wasn't able to see their faces clearly however, they were hella strong." Gabriel concurred. Kenzo clicked his tongue frustrated. "Well we lost and there's nothing we could do about it! Say what were you all doing here?" he asked Damian, Mikael and Cristopher.
"Oh us?" Christopher pointed his figure at himself. "We all were going for our practice. Passing stadium one we thought to give you a visit, so we came here. Who would've known that we would find dead bodies once we arrive?" he shrugged instead. The thirteen of them listened silent. Instantly Heber stood up asking, "Hey! What's the time?" "Its 6:10 Am." Cassiel looked at his watch.
"What's with that now…?" Kenzo rolled his eyes, laying down again. "No! I mean, we had to climb the hill again right?" Heber recalled. Suddenly the boys looked at each other bewildered. "No way! We had to!" Shrieked Feng. "We are late!!" Ezekiel stood shocked. Suddenly Kenzo sat back up again. "Why didn't you say that before?! You Loaf!" he angered.
"Unbelievable! How can I forget that?" Helios uttered in disbelief. "I am wordless." Xavier smiled patting Ryan's shoulder who sighed. "Wait a minute?! You are going to climb that hill again?!" asked Luka while Christopher stared with his mouth a gape. "No way…" whispered Theo in disbelief. "Those jerks ruined everything. Wasting so much of our time." gritted Gabriel. "Hey, will you all be alright?" Damian inquired. "Yeah we have to be alright. Ain't got a choice!" Seraph stood up getting ready.
Poseidon stood up to, "Well then, take care of yourselves." "You should talk about yourself right now!!" exclaimed Jonnah in horror. "Oh we're fine~ I just want to see those pretty faces from last night. And, I'm sure I'll feel even better." Azazel smirked. "But, really. Take care of yourselves. We faced them lastnight, the morning might be for you." Ezekiel warned. The other middle schoolers stared at each other worried.
"Come on!! Let's go! Or else we'll be late again!!" called Adam. The others soon maked their way ran outside towards the hilltop. "Geez~ they haven't even eaten anything yet." Farran said restlessly as the others nodded in affirmation. "I just pray that they'll be fine." Christopher sighed, "Come on, everyone or else we would be punished as well if we're late."
The thirteen boys reaching the hill ran silently. Not a single one daring to utter a single word. For more than half an hour the group remained silent marching upwards. Azazel glanced right and left and so did Heber. "Hey… come on!!" Adam shouted out of the blue, ruffling his own hairs aggressively. "Just how long are we going to keep this silent march up?" he asked finally breaking the long silence. Even then, the boys still stayed silent. "I guess even shouting out loud was of no use." Azazel sighed.
Adam gazed at Ryan teary eyed. "Even you won't talk!!" he pushed him right and left. "Haiz…" Cassiel exhaled. "Tell me everyone, is it just me who has gone nuts or whatever happened last night is really repeating again and again inside our heads?" he asked. Poseidon nodded, "I think I might have gone crazy as well just like you said if that's the case."
"To think we would be so weak? And here we were planning to kicks their butts a day earlier." Seraph added in disbelief. "And he also broke my bat." continued Ryan. Feng dabbed his head, "Hey, don't worry. I'll buy you a new one instead." "No way, I want that jerk to fix my bat and place it in my hands." Ryan rejected with a straight face. "Pfft, something as easy as pie if you say it like that." Gabriel hissed. Instantly, Kenzo spoke up, "Xavier, my boy… are you thinking what I'm thinking right now?"
Xavier who marched behind him smiled, "If you are thinking what I am thinking right now than I suppose we both are thinking of the same thing." The others looked at them in wonder. "Hey… what are you both thinking?" Ezekiel ased confused. "And, I think I might be thinking the same as you both are thinking right now." Helios added looking at Kenzo and Xavier.
"Ah~ to think we would be thinking about the same thing. I might just call it a thought jinx." continued Seraph. Hearing the four's conversation. The others looked at them confused. "Hey, could you all just spout whatever you are thinking?!" Gabriel growled annoyed. "Yeah, we feel left out for some reason." Heber concurred. "To think that you don't know what we are thinking is a shame to begin with." entered Cassiel setting his glasses.
"Hey! Now you are in their team as well?" asked Adam shocked. Kenzo irritated with their conversation suddenly busted, "It's because you idiots keep lingering over what happened last night! If you have that much time on your hands than think about how to cross this hill and reach back to the training camp in half of the allotted time!" upon hearing his words the chaos soon died down. Kenzo sighed hard.
Ryan twitched his brow annoyed, "So if you think you are so cool then just tell us what you have in your mind rather than shouting on us like a complete freak." Kenzo gritted, "You brat!". "I suggest you both stop fighting since we have arrived at the point." Xavier interrupted. "Finally…" Helios said. "What is that point?" asked Azazel. "The shortcut." Kenzo apprise.
