(I know it didn't start off well, but I promise you it gets better. Like always hopefully)

"So what do you think of April?", Maya asks, lounging around on the seat thing. "She cool, I guess. Creepy how she knew everything about us though", Boomer says. I nod in agreement.

"They way she spoke to me just...god, it gives me chills...", I shudder.

"Well, we can't assume. Maybe she was just trying to make a good first impression", Ky shrugs. "I agree, Chris Hemsworth", I say, smirking at him.

Ky blushes again and pouts. "We have no similarities!"

"You sure?", Maya asks.

He holds up a finger and looks like he wants to say something but just keeps shut. Then, he groans and storms off to his room.

I giggle a little and Boomer taps me on my shoulder. "Wanna continue?", he asks.

I nod and the two of us rush outside excitedly. We continue to fight each other and April catches us. "Are you two training?", she asks. I pull my blindfold up and say, "yeah we are"

I get smacked in the head by Boomer's attack and I glare at him. He shrugs and asks April if she wanted to join. "Sure! You two against just me. Let's do this! Don't hold back~"

I hand her the blindfold and tie it around her tightly.

I lightly graze her shoulder as I walked by and my eyes widen. Did I just see orange sparks? Or am I winded from his attack?

I glance back at her and she smiles, holding her thumb up. Boomer and I exchange glances and we begin attacking. I use my waterbending so I could practice as Boomer uses his Kairu attacks.

I fired ice shards at her and Boomer kept hitting her with Froztok's Ice Cannon. She dodged them all easily. She must have some instincts.

"Come on. You two are going easy on me! Go all out! I can take it!", she yells.

I growl and we attack her with all our might. She dodges anyway but almost gets hit several times. Can she sense Kairu like Maya? But what about waterbending? Can she hear the ice dart across the sky? 

This annoys me for some reason.

All of a sudden, I lose control and just hit her with Tidal Force. She falls on her back and Boomer says, "what was that? You can't do something like that!"

"She said go all out", I shrug. Wait that wasn't me...did God Me notice something?

Boomer helps her up and I try to talk to Goddess Kahura. "What was that all about?", I ask her through my thoughts.

"I don't trust her", she replies.

"You can't be sure. She's Boddai's sister, she can't be that bad."

"What about the sparks?"

"I must've been winded. I know that you're being paranoid."

"You don't understand! Agh! Wait here"

"Whatever"

I sigh and walk over to April. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I lose control and-"

"It's okay. Not the first time I've dealt with this", she laughs. Excuse me? Did she fight other people before too?

"Guys! Hey!", Maya yells suddenly, rushing outside the X-Scaper. "We've got another mission in Cambodia!"

"Really?", April says, excited. She clasps her hand together and closes her eyes. "Man, generally I'd hate it if Boddai was right but I'm so glad! I get so much action the first day itself like he said. Ehehe~ I don't think I'll be bored here~" 

Suddenly, her eyes dart to me and I can feel her gaze pierce through me. As if she just looked into my soul. I shudder and Boomer notices. "You cold?"

I look up and smile. "Eh, no. Not really..."

April...

She's Boddai's sister right? I doubt she'd do anything to harm us.

Maybe I'm being paranoid?

After all, I'm not good with meeting new people in the most..."normal" way. Like the way I met my friends. All of them.

Even the ones at my old monastery.

I slap both my cheeks and sigh. I have to concentrate. Maybe it's nothing. April seems like a nice woman and she hasn't done anything suspicious...

...yet...

Cambodia

"Aaaalright. Let's see...Maya. You getting anything?", Ky asks, pulling out his X-Reader. Boomer and I do the same as Maya holds her hand up. She closes her eyes and looks through every direction.

"It's strong. And it's from...uh..."

She tries to pinpoint a location but puts her hand down and groans. "I can't find it! Maybe we're standing on it?"

"Maybe~", April calls out from behind me, slamming her hands down on my shoulders. I flinch and scream loudly, almost dropping my X-Reader. 

I was not ready, god dammit!

"Hehe~", she giggles as I give her a cold stare. 

Suddenly, she snatches my X-Reader and pushes me back with her hand on my shoulder. "Hey! What are you doing?! Give me that!"

She goes through the Drives as I continue to struggle. Then, she smiles wide and yells out an attack. She forces it downward and creates a giant hole in the ground.

The four of us stare at her in shock and surprise as she manages to perfectly direct the attack and hit a huge pool of Kairu. The best part? It looked like a whirlpool.

Boomer walks over to her and then glances at the Kairu. Then she asks, "H...How did you-"

"Ehe~ Boddai and I went through the same training up until we were 19. Then we went our separate ways", she says, shrugging. "Catch!"

She throws my X-Reader back to me and I manage to catch it.

That attack was draining as hell. I always used it as a last resort. I'm impressed and intimidated at the same time.

"Now, before the E-Teens, we gotta-"

"Too bad, Ky~", Zair calls out.

April's face twists into a scary grin and the three E-Teens eyes widen. "YOU!", Zane says, pointing at her.

"April. Do you know them?!", Ky asks.

April smiles and shrugs again. "Nope~"

She turns to them and smiles again. They flinch and take a step back. Why are they afraid? She's like us, isn't she?

"Come to think of it...I did run into them. They tried to attack but I gave them what they had coming", she says. Suddenly, she steps forward and her face screams 'murderous intent'. "I can do it again, if you like. Ky? What do you say?"

She looks over at Ky and smiles sweetly. He glances between her and the E-Teens. They're scared out of their mind. Zair crosses her arms in an 'X' shape and shakes her head. He glances at April again.

He sighs and says, "We'll take this one. If we need help, you can step in"

April groans and folds her arms. "Damn it!", she huffs. She digs into her pocket and takes out an X-Reader. Did Master Boddai give that to her?

Zair smiles at Ky And Zane nudges her in the arm. He looks more uncomfortable than usual.

"KAIRU CHALLENGE!", Techris roars. 

"Challenge accepted", Ky shoots back.

KAIRU CHALLENGE

Without hesitation, Maya makes the first move and uses Fire Whips. She manages to knock Zair off the X-Scaper and goes as far as slamming her into a god damn tree. Zair gets up but I can tell she's winded.

"METANOID!", Ky yells. He doesn't spare a single second and uses Sonic Charge to send Techris and Zane back.

I chuckle and run toward Techris. "I got this. HYDRO HOOKS!"

I use the hooks to tangle him and Boomer seems to have read my mind. "Man, you guys aren't thinking going easy on us today, right? I hope not. Oh well. MAGMA BLAST!"

Techris passes out.

Heh.

I feel a sharp pain through my back. I look down and find myself to be impaled by a Shadow Kairu attack. The spike retreats into the ground and I fall down, gasping for air. I look up to see Zane smirking at me.

"Damn you...", I mumble. 

"KAYA!", Boomer and Ky yell.

"I-I'm fine..."

I look over my shoulder and Maya seems to be struggling with Zair. I have a little bit of energy left. Maybe I can use a green attack to knock her off. I groan and stand up on my feet. "STAR SMASH!"

I manage to catch Zair off guard in between her attack and she knocks out, neutralising her attack on Maya.

I smile and fall down, exhausted by Zane's sudden attack. I look over to Ky and Boomer and they've already collaborated their attacks to take Zane down.

Another win for us.

Today was too easy though...except for Zane's attack.

That was unexpected.

BATTLE ENDS

"Let's get out of here already", Zane commands as Techris and Zair weakly trot behind him.

I'm still exhausted. I need sleep. N O W.

Ky and Boomer notice my situation and help me up. They rest my arms on their shoulders and we walk back toward the Kairu. They put me down and I try to stand as we collect the Kairu.

The four of us take our X-Readers out and wait for it to charge up. The Kairu spirals above before finding its way into our X-Readers. 

Okay, so I did get some of my energy back through that. I still want to sleep, however.

"Sweet! These attacks are incredible!", Maya yells. "What did you get?", I ask her. I turn my X-Reader and show her what I got. "I have Unagi Rage. Never heard of it"

She stares at it with stars in her eyes and says, "that's an extremely rare and powerful attack. It allows you to hit several enemies at once but doesn't damage anyone. It works like Kairu Drain. When it's paired with another attack, that's when it shines"

"Amazing! We should collaborate those two and maybe they can make our enemy fall extremely fast", Ky says. I ask him what he got and he holds his X-Reader out. "Siren Melody. I think it works by causing your enemy to hallucinate their loved one and you can use that to catch them off guard"

Maya nods. "I got an attack called Devil Wrath. I love this one. You can seriously injure your enemy by sending a shower of...I don't want to say suffering but yeah. It's basically sending a small part of Hell toward your enemy. This can really drain them and leave them with enough energy to continue fighting but not enough to use any attacks. It really is devilish"

"Eh? But it doesn't suit you", April says, pouting. "Boomer, what did you get?"

"It's a healing attack! Yes! I needed one of them so badly!", he yells, happily while jumping around. "Heaven's Mercy! It can heal every single one of your allies or yourself completely and nullify all effects! Oh yeeeessss!"

"Well, that's cool and all, but you all have to train a lot harder to use those. They're extremely powerful, you know? Which means, not only will it drain your enemies, but possibly you as well. Even with Heaven's Mercy. It can heal you but it can backfire if you aren't careful", April says, worried.

I nod and we walk back to the X-Scaper, putting our X-Readers back in our belt pockets. April happily trails behind us and hums to herself. Why do I know what she's singing?

"Hey, April", I call out to her as we go through the door. She tilts her head and says, "yes?"

"What song are you singing?"

"Oh. It's a song I've heard when I was 19. I really like it"

"What's it called?"

"Well...hmm...I think it's called  ̸̡̝̱̪̯̞͇̣̤͖́͜ͅ ̷̨̡̛̞̣͉̖̜̜͈̟̹̮̮̃̓͐́͋̃̄̔̏͊̅̒͌͜͝ͅ ̷̡̝̪̱̪̃̍̕ ̸̮̜̥̦̜͕̰̩͎̲̔̋̉̌̓ ̴̨͓̞̬͍̤͉͖̜̳̈̋̌͐̂̕ͅ ̷̢̨̢͕͎̈̋̂͌̍͌͑͌̃̉͘ ̸̱͖̟̖̥͚̠̟̃̄̉̈́̒ ̵̛̳̟̠̦̣͍͉͍̬̱̩̥̀̓̓̈́̾̿͒͘̚̚ ̴̛͚͕͇͉̩̲̘̻̗͙̪̫̮̦̪̄̓̉͆̇̄ ̴̡̧̢͖̝̟̓͆̉͆̍̉̊͒̓́͊̔̿ ̸̨̝̺͉͍̟͍̻̟̪̹̰͕͑̐͊͌̏ ̸͍͎̄ ̵̭̫̩͗̆͌̓͊̌͝ͅ ̷̞͖͇͛͐̇̑̏̆̃̾͆͠͝ ̵̛͕̘̩͖̲̮̹̽͗̓̽͆̊̉̇̓͗͘̚͝ͅ ̶̛͇̜̖̜̮̔̄ ̴̢͈͕͚̗̖̻͎̟̼̚͜͜ͅ ̷̙̯̲̬̤͈̺̝̟̯̙̘̘̀͊͌͌̏̐͐̐̄́͝͝ ̴̡̹̭̙̗͙̯͖͔̼͈̎̌́̑̂̊̋͒̄ ̸̧̭͖̯̲̼̻́̈́̂̒̅̍̓́̆͋͌̇͝͠͝ ̶̖͖̜̘̬̗̦̬͔̽͝ ̸̛͕̥͉̖͕̭̘̩̣͂̍̆̾͛͑͛̔̑̾̋̕͜͝͝ ̶̨̻̟̯̹̫̮̇̅̓̐͂̀̄̓͛"

I freeze and stare at her in shock.

"C-Come again?"

"Umm...The Auras Of Fighting Gods?"

"Oh. I couldn't hear you for a second. I know that song too!"

She leans in and whispers, "Of course you do, Kahura~" 

Excuse me?

My heart begins to pound heavily in my chest and I can't shake this feeling of immense fear off. This woman...what is it about her that makes me act this way?!

I HAVE NO REASON TO BE AFRAID OF HER!

don't I?
