TWO DAYS AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER.......
********************
Rob and Janette’s platoon has arrived in their assigned territory not even twelve hours ago. Even so, the tension in the air was so thick you could almost touch it. Rob could feel the uneasiness of everyone around him. They were all a little nervous that Sadondes would attack them at any second. Rob himself was pretty unsettled too.
During his time in the wasteland he had heard plenty of rumors. Those rumors are partly what’s making him nervous. The ruthlessness of Sadondes was infamous. They were one of the toughest and most skilled gangs in the Lost Ground.
But the mental images of what they could do to his platoon weren’t the only thing that disturbed Rob. It was his knowledge of all the good that they had done for the people in their territory.
They were essentially a modern day version of Robin Hood’s merry men with a man named Mahbo as their leader. They stole food, medicine, materials, and equipment for the various towns and villages in their territory. They also served as the peacekeeping force in the area, making it one of the safest territories in sector 3. If you went in there to cause trouble you would be “removed” with extreme force, regardless of whether you’re human or an alter user.
Rob takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly in an effort to calm down; It doesn’t work.
“Shit...” he mutters under his breath.
“Wow, never thought I’d see you nervous.” said a voice from behind him.
“Huh?” Rob looks behind him to see Janette standing there with her hand on her hip and a friendly half-smile on her face. “Are you a mind reader too?”
She shrugs her shoulders, “No, but normally you’re so calm that I can tell something’s up.”
Rob raises an eyebrow, “Really? I hope no one else has noticed.”
“Probably not, I’ve always been pretty good at spotting these types of things.”
“Hmmf. Is that so.” he mutters to himself.
“DAMN! This is depressing!” Janette says loudly. “Everyone’s so nervous they can’t even joke around. It’s a real downer.”
“Personally, I don’t see how you can’t be even a little nervous.” Rob says in an incredulous tone.
“That’s easy.” she says, pointing a finger right at Rob, “We’ve had nothing but victories since we got here. Plus, that breakthrough you had on your skill assessment should definitely even things up, right?”
Rob mulls it over in his head for a second, after all, they had been doing really well lately, “You might be right....but....”
“AND...” she interrupts, “...all of you are tired and that’s making you think about this way too much. We’re stopping tonight to have some fun.”
Still staring at her in disbelief, Rob tries to talk her out of stopping. “You do realize that we’ll probably be attacked as soon as we stop.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ve got everything under control. It’s all part of my plan.”
“Plan?”
“And you’re sure this ‘plan’ will work?”
“Absolutely, positively sure.” she says enthusiastically.
Rob sighs heavily and raises his hands in a defeated gesture, “Fine. But I’m not gonna be held responsible if something goes wrong.”
“Don’t worry. Nothing will.”
*****************
At a location not too far away from where Rob and Janette’s platoon is, five people gather in a small circle.
“So... what do you guys have?” says a short, but solid looking, young man. He is wearing a slightly tattered leather jacket, flight goggles strapped on top of his head and has a fairly large looking backpack. He has tanned skin, a shaved head and short, trimmed goatee-like facial hair. “What’re we up against?” He immediately pulls out a small handheld video game and begins to play, seemingly not paying attention anymore.
Another tall, athletic teenager to his left speaks up, “Well Mahbo, I was able to get a pretty good look at how many people they have.” This young man has short blonde hair and has the kind of look on his face that makes it seem like he sees much more than he lets on. Compared to other residents of the Lost Ground he is impeccably dressed. His black pants, long sleeved shirt and general appearance are amazingly clean and well taken care of. “By my count, I figure they have about a hundred soldiers or so and only two HOLY alter users.”
“Hmph, only two? They must really not think much of us if they only sent two HOLY officers.” says a, now annoyed, young woman. This attractive teenager has short black hair that ends about two or three inches above her shoulders and has rather fair features, long legs and average breasts. She is wearing tight, light brown cargo pants and a black sleeveless t-shirt. “Look Mahbo, I really don’t think all of us need to be here. I’ll be able to get rid of them without any problems.”
The young man to her right began to chuckle, “Come on. Your not the only one here that enjoys a good fight my dear. You can pick one to kill and I’ll get the other, I don’t care.” This teenager has long, shiny, black hair tied back into a tight ponytail with a single, thin shock of hair dropping down over his face. His eyes have very dark rings under them, almost like he hasn’t slept in a very long time. Whatever clothes he is wearing are hidden underneath a cloak that is a shade of blue so dark it’s almost black. “This whole thing will be all to easy to finish.”
“That is where you are wrong my friends.” said the final member of the group in a raspy voice that sounds like it is rarely used. He is a small, frail looking young man with scraggly brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He is wearing what appears to be a patchwork collection of camouflage clothing with numerous ragged strips hanging off of it. “I have been looking into the two HOLY officers in command of that platoon and they are not to be taken lightly. They have beaten everyone they fought against, with little or no injuries.” his face darkens a little, “Plus, there is another interesting little piece of information.”
Mahbo looks up from playing the video game and raises his eyebrow, “Oh... and what is it.”
“Well it seems that the male HOLY officer is someone quite well known to most of us here.”
“Who is it? Spit it out already!” snaps Mahbo.
Slightly flustered, he continues “Well, it seems he is none other than the infamous Demon Blade.”
The silence that followed was almost deafening and Mahbo, who seems to have forgotten about the video game is now focused intently on the frail young man in front of him.
“Are you serious?” said the woman.
“Quite serious, and it appears that he’s improved considerably, though I can’t be exactly sure how much since it seems he’s barely broken a sweat on his last few opponents.”
“Hah, I was wondering why we haven’t heard anything about him lately.” Mahbo said, sounding slightly amused. “He disappeared a few months ago, now we know where he went.”
“Yeah, but the question is why?” said the blond young man in a perplexed tone, “He never really struck me as someone who would sell out to the city like that. Wasn’t he always big on keeping to himself?”
“Yeah, he was.” said Mahbo, “But regardless of who he is, he’s our enemy now. What about his partner?”
“Um well, I don’t know much about her specifically.” The frail teenager continued, “But I’ve been observing her powers and she has a pretty powerful alter. It seems to be electricity based and it appears that she can teleport herself from one place to another almost instantaneously. But it also seems that it takes a lot of effort for her to maintain for long periods.”
“Well, no matter how strong they are, they still don’t stand a chance.” a grinning Mahbo said, “But, I’m not stupid either so I’ll come along with you, just in case.” he said with a wink.
“Hmph. Fine. Do what you want.” said the cloaked young man.
“Good! I will.” Mahbo says with a huge grin on his face. “Now that we’ve figured out what’s what, lets show those HOLY shitheads what some real native alters can do.”

Sorry about the long time for this chapter to be put up, I was stuck on a couple things for a while and school has really been a pain in the ass lately.
Thanks to my friend Phil I was able to think up alter powers for Mahbo and other people contributed for the other members of Sadondes namely Sage Malachi and Kat . If you don’t know who they are they are a gang mentioned briefly in the anime between Kazuma and Kimishima before they attack the HOLY patrol.
There is plenty of good news to report, I had a picture made of Rob and his alter power. It is currently in the Scryed fan art section on mediaminer.org, Kingdom Hearts II has FINALLY been released, AND Bleach has officially been licensed by Viz and it is only a matter of time before it is brought over to the U.S.! HOORAH!!!!!!
