"Ding Dong!!" Tokiya awoke to the sound of the doorbell. He grumbled and sat up in bed, one hand supporting himself. He scratched his head and looked at the digital clock beside his bed. '6.30' "What? Who in the world would wake up so early during the holidays?" Tokiya thought out loud. He got off his bed and walked over to his window, looking down. He was surprised to see a mop of unruly red hair at his door. 'Ittoki? I usually have to wake him up so we won't be late for school, what's he doing here?'

Tokiya went downstairs and opened the door just as the red-head was about to ring the bell once more. Ittoki looked surprised for a while but smiled. His now turquoise eyes gleamed as he held up a bag while walking into the house. "I got some cake for us!" Tokiya sighed and scratched his neck, "Who goes to buy cake at 6 am in the morning? " "Hm? Oh! There was this bakery down the road so I went to get some!" Ittoki opened the box to reveal about 10 cakes of different shapes and sizes nestled in the box.

"How are we going to eat all that?" Ittoki tilted his head and smiled softly. He plopped himself on a chair and pulled out his phone. "I'm inviting people over of course~" "What? Don't go around inviting people to other people's houses if they didn't give you permission!" Ittoki pouted and stared at Tokiya with puppy eyes. "I- just ugh fine but just this once." "YAY!!" Ittoki grinned and hugged Tokiya "Thanks Tokiya!" Tokiya froze at the sudden contact but relaxed soon after. Tokiya smiled and patted the red head, pushing him away slightly. He then proceeded to sit on the couch and took up a book to read, ignoring the whines from the red-head.

Soon, the doorbell rang and Ittoki rushed to answer it. He grinned and welcomed Kumiko, Reina, Mika and Eli into the house. "Where's the rest?" Tokiya looked up from his book. "Somewhere... lets just say they got interested in something." Mika sighed, sitting on the couch, "Man, I can't believe we only have a week left of holidays..." Tokiya nodded slightly and went back to reading his book. "Tokiya-kun, I'll be taking this." Kumiko pried the book from Tokiya's hands and closed it, smiling. "We're your friends, don't just sit there and read." Her yellow eyes gleamed and she sat the book aside.

A man dressed in black smirked as he watched the group in the house. He arranged himself to get a more comfortable position on the branch he was sitting on. 'Just wait a bit more, once all of them are here and they're powers activate, I'll call them in.' The man watched as 4 other people walked up to the door, 2 girls and 2 boys. They rang the doorbell and soon after walked into the house. The man clicked the button on his phone, to tell his boss that all of them were in the house. He grinned and watched the teens talk and laugh about things, " Just a little longer"

Isla looked at the white box sitting on the table curiously and looked over at Ittoki "What's this?" Ittoki grinned and pulled open the cover. "Ta-dah! Cake! " Tsukasa picked one up and asked, "Aren't these expensive?" Ittoki shook his head, "Nope! The owner is my friend's mother, so she gave it to me for free!"

Nozomi picked up a cake and bit off a bit of cake. Eli looked over at her and asked, "How is it?" Nozomi put her hand in her cheek and smiled, "it's deliciouss!" Mika picked up a cake and smiled, "don't mind if I do." He brought it to his mouth but dropped it just as he was about to eat it. Mika fell to his knees, clutching his head. "Mika!" Yuu looked around and saw Kumiko, Eli, Ittoki and Isla also gripping their heads as the rest tried to help. Reina grabbed Kumiko as she was about to fall to the floor as Kumiko stafed wide-eyed at Reina, her eye colour fading.

The man smirked as he pushed a button, to call in the attackers. They were going to capture them and bring them to the labs to study them and get the potion out of them. Sure, they would probably die but it didn't matter. This plan could save the world! He jumped out of the tree and looked at one of their eyes, seeing only their pupils. "Heh- so that's what happens. "

Mika's hand burst into flames and Yuu pulled away in horror, "Mi- mika? Mika!" Suddenly, glass flew everywhere, cutting everything , as men in black jumped through the windows of the house. They trained their guns at either of the 10 teens as a calm man walked in through the door. "Hello kids, I am Dr. Bushiko. Hand over your friends and we won't hurt you." Tokiya gripped Ittoki tighter as Dr. Bushiko walked towards them. "But of course, if you resist, we will shoot." Dr. Bushiko motioned at the guns trained on them. Kumiko slowly sat up as waves of pain hit her. She raised her hand at Dr Bushiko and concentrated, feeling like her head was going to explode. "You- will not take my friends!" Lightning ripped tbrough the house and hit some of the soilders, who went sprawled on the floor, clothes steaming. The rest of the soilders tensed, looking at Dr. Bushiko for orders.

Kumiko collapsed, her breathing ragged (is that how u say it?). Dr. Bushiko grinned and motioned the soilders forward with the flick of a hand.
