Tales of Pangea: Silver & Gold

Chapter 4

At the border that connected all three states and towns together, there was a park. Kai and Taiyo were nervously trying to exchange their contacts, but neither were able to make the first move. Wu and Kinto were watching from the side lines, Wu buried in the ground with only his head sticking out. "God, could they take any longer..." Wu complained.

"Shush, you blew our cover last time cause you can't contain yourself." Kinto stated. Taiyo then made the first move by holding out the paper with her phone number on it.

Kai nervously took it and placed the paper he was holding in her wings. Taiyo walked away as Kai walked over to Kinto & Wu. "Took you long enough, I thought I was gonna sprout roots with how long you were-" Wu was shut up by Kai stepping on his face.

Kai stared at the number on the slip of paper, taking a slow and long breath, he exhaled, "Woooo... This is really something ain't it." Kai's eyes seemed to trace the numbers over and over.

"Yeah, the heir to the Silver Wolf Pack falling for someone from the Golden Phoenix Flock." Wu replied, muffled as Kai stood on his face.

The words 'Golden Phoenix Flock' hit Kai's ears and snapped him from his stupor. "She was a what?" Kai asked, lifting his foot from Wu's face.

Kinto then replied, "She was from the Golden Phoenix Flock... Did... Did you not notice that...?" Kinto seemed baffled that Kai never noticed that Taiyo was from the Golden Phoenix Flock.

"N-no..." Kai muttered out, as he lowered his ears.

Kinto & Wu stared at Kai for a solid minute before Wu burst out laughing, his teeth barred in a fit of laughter.

Wu's laughter echoed loudly before his voice slowly began to teeter until he passed out. Kai looked down at Wu before hearing Kinto fall over. Kai looked at Kinto's unconscious form and pieced together what was happening. "Grandpa, you really have to get control over that thing Alpha's do." Kai stated as he looked over at his grandfather Gin, who was stepping out of a car with dozens of other guards nearby.

"Ugh, tell me about it, I have to send Minos to get me anything cause this generation is just too weak. Like you." Gin said with a smile, before blocking a sudden front kick from Kai.

Kai then replied with an almost playful tone, "Care to repeat that, you old fart?"

Gin grinned widely as he repeated himself, "This generation is just too weak. Just. Like. You." Gin then blocked a fast overhead kick, before going fully one defense, blocking Kai's fast barrage kicks and punches with one arm. "Hahaha! Is this all you have to offer!?" Gin taunted.

Kai bit his finger and threw a high kick that also threw dust into Gin's face. Gin blew it away before he had to catch a severed finger launched at him at the speed of a bullet. "A finger?" Gin asked himself before he groaned suddenly and sharply, as Kai had planted a strong kick to his gut.

"Can't block everything can ya, you old fart?" Kai asked with a smile. Kai then felt something off, moving back, when his foot touched the ground. Every inch of it was in serious pain as if the bones had crumbled to dust. "What?" Kai asked as he fell over.

"Did you think I'd let you get a hit in? Nope. Now then..." Gin then reached into Kai's pocket to pull out the paper he was handed by Taiyo. "Seems Ino was right, you got a number." Gin had a proud look on his face as he placed the paper back. "You met someone didn't you?"

Kai's face blushed. "Whaaaat, noooo- yes! I met this girl, she was cute and everything and... her favorite drink is strawberry milkshakes, just like me!"

"You love that drink too much."

"I'd rather die than give it up... Grandpa, when you met grandma, how did you know she was one?"
