Why do I get the suspicious feeling that Copper knows something the rest of us don't?

No idea...The only person here that knows the enemy's name is...ME! Ahahahahahh...After I reveal it, I'll put up a full chara for others to use.

Are Jazz,Spaz and Lori gonna be in this story? Is the enemy Devan or Dtsh?

Maow.

You weren't paying attention the first time I said this, so I'm saying it again.

MC: I'll see to that later...

And if you want to know who the enemy is, look around...you may find his name.

CLUE! *pounces on the clue*

*waits for his part to appear in the story*

Anyways, I like the chapters, though based on the circumstances so far I'd say this story would have a great number of chapters, due to the speed the events are progressing in, and the amount of gems to collect. Though I can always be wrong, of course.

I'm expecting about 20 chapters...maybe more maybe less. I do not know for sure.

And falcon, where do you see the clue?

Am I the first to notice that this entire thing is written in the present tense? It's not a bad thing, but it certainly is unique.

Obviously.

You should have made the enemy fly a giant trojan-horse shaped ship called the censorhorse. The story Xion could have the same enemies as the real one =P.

Radium: If there was a WT profile on Derby I would place him in the story.

And also, Thanks for noticing. I like to make my storiles like that.

*bump*

Chapter 3 will be coming VVEERRYY Soon!

/me continues to tap his foot impatiently.

Yeah

Like promised...

Chapter 3: Old times

Xion heads back to one of his old haunts, a large ship floating around a planet very lush and green with life. A planet like Earth, but not very inhabited by people. The large ship, housing a large metropolis of housing complexes and shops, with a special area sectioned off for traders and warriors. Xion has a licence and gains access to this area.

Xion docks in the port near the shops, and goes up to the check counter. "Oh! Xion! It has been at least a month since I saw you last," the teller says. "How can I help you?"
"Withdrawl, items. Give me a list please." Xion replies as if he wants something. The teller nods and gives him a small hand-held computer on a security string. Xion scrolls through the list using a jog dial on the left side of the computer, and selecting a few things using a button on the right side. Xion then hands it back, noticing something on the teller's computer. "Stocks?" Xion asks.
"Money market. The price of meseta has skyrocketed. Look at this," The teller points at the computer. "With the advent of charge weapons outside of the Pioneer 2 area, Meseta has become one of the most rare pieces of money and most wanted."
"I have about eight-hundred thousand meseta..." Xion smirks. "What is the current price?"
"Currently it is at 12 credits per meseta." A shocked look hits Xion's face. "Would you like to sell some of your meseta?"
"Yes! Sell 200,000 Meseta to the market." Xion says fairly quickly, so he doesn't miss the deal. "That gives me about 2.4 million credits." The teller nods, and pulls out a machine for credit cards. Xion swipes his card, and his new total is shown. "Nice. Thank you!"
"Your welcome." the teller says.

Xion turns around to see several beams of green light. "A telepipe!" Xion says. "Who's down there?" A flash of light, and out comes Gradient, a Force as tall as Xion, with a black robe highlighted with a Light Blue trim with a bandana and dull silver hair. "Nice to see you here!" Gradient puts away his cards up his sleeve.
"Xion! What are you doing here?" Gradient says shockingly.
"Just picking up some equipment." Xion says, "Along with getting some spare credits." Xion fits his leather belt of equipment.
"I heard you have been exploring the universe. I wish I could go with you." Gradient says, depressed. Xion checks his weapons for any imperfections.
"Well..." Xion says. Gradient's head perks up. "My ship is a raider class, it is ment to have a crew." Gradient is now excited. "And yes, you may join me."
"Oh thank you Xion!" Gradient says with perk. "I'll be the best Force you will ever need!"
"Mind if I come too?" a voice comes from behind both of them. It is him.
"You..." Xion says in an angered tone. "Blood money. That's all your company runs on. I have heard about your ways. All you care about is that you have all the gems."
"You are correct, Xion." he says.
"The owner of the greatest starship company knows you by name?" Gradient says, amazed.
"Yeah." Xion wispers to Gradient. "See his suit?" Xion points at him, then points at himself.
"He made that for you?" Gradient whispers back.
"No. He is far too dense to get the matrix of his computer, let alone the whole suit." Xion whispers calmly.
"I heard that! I should kill you here for that!" He then unsheaths his silver katana, known only as an "Agiato", and takes a swipe at Xion. Xion backs away quickly as he misses him. Gradient had been slashed on the cheek, with blood on his blade. "This will come in handy." He smirks. "Farewell!" he yells, as he heads for the docks. A team of guards rush twoard Gradient and Xion.
"What happened here?" they yell in syncronyous.
"That hunter there swiped at us here." Xion points at the man. "It is just a scratch, nothing major."
"Go to the medical center, get checked out for photon poisoning," the guards say as they point at a large white building. Xion nods, and escorts Gradient to the medical center.

"Like taking candy from a baby." the man says. In his hands he holds a vial of Gradient's blood, along with a red-jeweled earring. "Another fragment."

Uh-oh! He has another fragment of the Chaos Gems! Can he be stopped? Why is he happy about getting Gradient's blood? Will we ever find out his name? Keep reading!

That's a good sentance.

If it is a grammatical error, what should it really be?

Goes. Went is past tense.

Truth. However strange that might be.

...Now that you point it out, neither sound right...I'll redo the first line there.

*waits eagerly for mudicus to be used in the story*

Besides that, the chapter was fine, though a bit short.

Don't worry BR, Mudicus will be soon.

Chapter 4: A Sharkk's bite...

Gradient, now with a scar on his cheek, speaks with Xion in the helm of the Anarchist. "Wait...The owner of the biggest ship manufactuer knows you by name?" Gradient asked, puzzled and astounded. "Tell the truth this time."
"I have told you the truth two times already. I will also tell you again." Xion calmly says, sitting in a duct-tape captain's chair. "This was one of his first creations. This was before K-star was ever started. This ship that I had to hand-craft from a shell that was barely worth 500 credits."
"That still doesn't asnwer the question...How does the owner of K-star know you by name?" Gradient says.
"Okay. This is the last time. This is the truth, sworn on my soul." Xion presses a few keys to change course. A light, showing AUTO appears on Xion's keypad. "Come." Xion gets up and walks back to his quarters. Gradient follows. "Sit, please." Xion says, showing Gradient a chair with his hand. "Now. Many years ago, when I first made this trusty shell, I caught the attention of a former friend. His name was Xin Kreigor...or so he claimed."
"The son of Xan?" Gradient asked.
"So he said. I didn't believe him. Anyways, he liked my suit. That was back when I had a Black-and-yellow suit." Xion digs in a drawer, showing Xion and Xin, a blode-haired man, almost looking like a child with bright eyes, a smile, and a normal-sized, round nose. A few inches shorter than Xion, but still tall. "Would you believe that the young, giddy man there was pure evil genious?" Xion says, with some slight sadness. "A great businessman, but had the evil streak to go with it. That suit he had? Xin promised me 50,000 credits upon completion. I made it, to the letter of his specifications, and gave it to him. He handed me a check for the 50,000. I tried to cash it, but the account had just 10.64 in it. It bounced, I got cheated out of 50 grand, and all I got was this lousy ship." Some anger appears in his voice. "He called himself after that 'Sharkk' because of the fin on his head. No way to prove that he was Xin because nobody trusted me, I had to wait to enact my revenge." Rage fills Xion's voice.
"Xion!" Gradient snaps his fingers in front of Xion's face. "Snap out of it, man! You're scaring me!" Xion breathes out a sigh.
"You're right." Xion says, with his usual calmness. A beeping goes off in the helm. Xion looks. "Another fragment. Let's go." Xion opens the door, to see in front of him a large, Green-brown planet.

So, that was Sharkk! A deceitful man, trying to get the gems for his own uses! Can Xion and Gradient stop him?


"Hrm." We go to Sharkk looking at the earrings he had before. A small amount of blood on the end showing a 66% match to Falz's DNA. "This is interesting. I wonder..." Shark glances at three vials, one with a red liquid, one with a green liquid, and the other with a deep purple liquid.

And what is Sharkk up to?

---

I told you I would reveal who the baddie was.

The clue was in my signature! Sharkk was in my signature!!!

I will have Sharkk's profile up soon.

*bump*

Well?

You know, I used to play sporadically as Gradient when I didn't want people talking to me. W00t.

...very nice

...I think people lost interest.

I guess I best work on Chapter 5 to get their interest...

I was going to reply before, when I knew what I was going to say, but then I realized I didn't know what I had to say. So I'm replying now in order to say that while I was going to say something, I didn't know what it was, and so I didn't reply. At that particular moment.

*rereads the chapter in order to try to remember what it was that he was going to say*

...Nope, still lost it. Good chappie, though.

ahh...a brainfart...XD

*bump* keep an eye out for Ch.5, which will come soon.
