Riki's POV
I woke up to my alarm clock ringing. I slapped it, muttering " Come on. I wanna sleep..." My phone rang and I sighed and hit the speaker button.
"RIKI DON'T YOU DARE SLEEP! REMEMBER OUR MISSION." Natsumi's voice blasted my ear off. I sat up wide awake. That's right! Today's the day we take back Samuru. "Okay I'm coming." I tiptoed past my mom's room and got ready. Sorry mom. I just can't tell you.
At the park...
"Let's go!" I looked at my team. Natsumi, Yuki, Reggie, Novu, and Grizz stood before me. Right on cue, a limousine came. "Hop in." Rori's face popped out of the window.
Five minutes later...
"I don't get why Rori couldn't just drop us of at the entrance." Grizz whined as we jogged towards the entrance of the kidnapper's lair.
"You looked half asleep in the car. This is to wake you up." Yuki said. I stopped and looked down. "This should be the spot..." I saw a gutter. "Seriously?" Yuki sighed. "Guess we have to get dirty.
Yuki's POV
We pulled the cover of the gutter(nearly squashing Reggie's fingers) and saw a ladder leading straight down to a fairly lit room. "This could be a trap..." Novu said. "That's a lot, coming from you." Grizz teased. Novu winced.
I wordlessly got onto the ladder and descended. The others followed suit. "So Ricki, what's your plan?" He walked down the coridoor. "Simple. Find Samuru. Then get out." I mentally sighed. Ricki was as simpleminded as always. "Though if I come across his kidnapper, I wouldn't mind taking him out." I gasped. Ricki...
"Looks like you finally made it..."
Samuru stepped out. "Let's fight."
I wanted to protest. That shoulder looked like it was in no condition to fight, and we were in enemy territory. "Why don't we get out of here first?" I suggested. He looked at me in the eye. "No."
He turned to go into a room. As the light from the room illuminated his face, I see his features more clearly. He was thinner than before, his cheekbones showing on his face. Samuru seemed to have lost the spirit in him. His hair was blocking his eyes. Its almost as if he didn't want me to see them.
I went into the room. I had no choice. Seeing as Samuru was set on a battle, I had to go with the flow, then bring him back after.
In the room was a table with a game of break all set up. "You know the rules. Let's go." I set my B daman on the table.
"B-shots, Ready, Aim, FIREBLAST!!"
"Go Dracyan!"
