The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The Paintball Field:

Leila agreed and Harper lit up. "We'll show Inadi what we're capable of," he narrowed his eyes at his friend then smiled. They were all growing close, and even Ran and Toby had become a part of their dysfunctional family. Moments like this (where they were all happy) were ones Harper cherished.

The boy heard Breeze explaining and turned to look at her, she was putting on various equipment and showing them how it was done.

A shot resounded throughout the room and he flinched, turning around to see Leila on the ground and a pink spot on the wall. Breeze helped her up then suggested they use lighter guns. His eyes went to a few pistols and smaller rifle, it reminded him of the SSF.

Jasper was starring intently at Breeze, probably to make sure they got all the safety rules down, and Lesley, he was admiring the paint on the wall. He placed a hand on Leila's shoulders and beamed. "Hey look, we've got an artist." The pink-haired man couldn't help but laugh, she was just like a cute puppy. He made a mental note to look after her when the game started. Speaking of the game, Est and Breeze were on the same team...





"Now, now, that wouldn't be very fair, would it?" One of the soldiers waltzed in, he was in a red visor and vest. It was Aiden, the demolition man from the 12th platoon. "And by best team, you mean the red team, right?" He flashed them all a cheeky grin then waved at both Est and Breeze. "Fancy seeing you two here, I thought the Lieutenant had you guys on guide duty--oh, top of the mornin' to ya, humans." He bounced on the heels of his feet, tipped his hat, and gave them all a gentlemanly bow. "Lizzie and I wanted to get some training done, talk about timing, aye?"

He sauntered towards the humans and slung an arm around both Lesley's and Inadi's shoulders. "Speaking about timing, I hear you're going against Berit? It's a good thing Lizzie and I arrived or oh boy...you'd spitting paint for cycles to come. Not to worry, you can join our team." For a soldier, he seemed quite childish. The man nodded his head. "Yes, yes, the blue team can't compare, right Lizzie?"

"It's Lizbeth," she ignored her fellow soldier's words then nodded at the humans in greeting. "Est, Breeze, good to see you both." she didn't say anything else, it didn't look like she was much of a talker.

Aiden's lips quirked up in amusement, "oh, where are my manners. Aidan's the name, don't forget it soooo tall girl with pink hair, shorty, and..." he jabbed a finger in Leila's direction, "pale girl, you three will be with us. Let's give private Berit and Mrs. Berit a run for their money, yeah?" There was a flash of competitiveness in the nobody's eyes. "Or if you'd rather, we can have three teams and Lizzie and I can kick your butts to next Saturdusk."

He didn't really give the humans a chance to answer and soon he was shoving weapons into their hands.

Aiden gave Harper's vest a tap and a health bar appeared on his shoulder. "Give your vests a tap. If it reaches zero then you're out of the game, it's simple enough." He grabbed a few pain grenades and clipped them onto his belt. "C'mon Berit, now's not the time to take a nap!"

Lizbeth turned to look at the humans and Breeze with a cold expression. "Sorry, about him."

"Oi, c'mon! Are you old folks or what? Chop-chop, put some legwork into it."

Harper turned to look at Lesley and Leila then shrugged. Despite Aiden's brash behavior, he was still looking forward to the friendly game. Besides, it was just a friendly game, so what could go wrong?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The Hoverboard Tournament:

Even though she had managed to avoid pushing Ran overboard, Riley's ears were still a bright red. Talk about embarrassing! On the bright side, she probably wouldn't see these Nobodies again. The girl wobbled then looked to Jay, "I got it, I got it. Just go focus on the race." She waved dismissively, nearly tipping the hoverboard onto its side. "Whoa! I mean, I meant to do that," the girl grinned. "If you place last, your fans will be pretty upset."

Toby was still hanging upside down but the metal straps around his ankles kept him in place. He puffed up his cheeks childishly then nodded. "Yeah! You can't just let them down. We're okay, we're tougher than we look, right Ran?"

Jay shrugged before pushing Toby upright. "We have these races all the time, winning isn't such a big deal."

Someone from the crowd squealed before the sound of even more giggling reach them, Japhet was absolutely buried in flailing limbs. "He stopped to help those new people! Kyaaaa, kind and good looking, he's the complete package!"

Riley chuckled, but before the girl could say anything someone crashed into her, sending the hoverboard zipping forward at immense speeds. Riley let out a yelp and before she knew it, they were stuck in a downward spiral. She turned her head to see Ran, he was holding onto her for dear life. "What the hell, Ran?" Her eyes widened and she leaned back in order to stop their fall. "We don't have any parachutes!" She stepped down on the glowing blue button near the board's center and they froze, upright and unharmed. Well, until Ran began yelling. The girl's eyes landed on the giant screen and she let out a squeak, "hold on tight, gramps!" She managed to see Toby out of the corner of her eyes and thankfully one of the kinder contestants was trying to help keep him out of trouble. "We'll meet up with the others later. Now...WE FLY!"

The hoverboard wasn't exactly built for two and as a result they zipped downwards instead of up. "No! NO! RAN." If she could, she would have pointed a finger at him. "If we die it's your fault--GODS!" Lightning flashed in front of them and Riley leaned back, the hoverboard flipping upside down once more. Ugh! If this was how the entire race went then she'd be sick before they even got halfway.

No, they wouldn't just quit. "Ran," Riley sucked in a breath of air. "Try stepping on some of those glowy things, the ones near the end of the board." She stepped down on the center button and once again they were upright. "I'll handle the speed!" This time she stepped on the button near the board's edge and they zipped forward, the wind whipping at their faces. They could see Ace and Lavi not too far ahead, mini cannons were shooting at them and they were quickly approaching a giant ramp.

"Oh look, it's Ace--SHIT!" A ball hit her in the back of the head and Riley stepped down on the button hard. The hoverboard made a creak before they were propelled forward. It went so fast that they zipped right past Ace and Lavi and onto the ramp. The board was nearing the edge and soon there was screaming.



"Mhm," Lavi took a bite out his chocolate bar then leaned to the left, he managed to make dodging obstacles look almost effortless. The Nobody took one last mouthful before he stuffed the chocolate bar into his coat pocket and caught a ball between both of his hands. "You wouldn't want it to leave a mark."

Dark rain clouds were forming overhead and lighting tried to strike at some of the hoverboards. A blur of orange and brown zipped past, all flailing limbs and terrified screams. "Hey, look, it's your friends--ooh." The Nobody scrunched up his nose when he noticed they had leaped off the ramp, hopefully they would manage to keep themselves on the board. "Don't fly to high!" He cupped both hands around his mouth, looking all upset. "The higher you go, the easier a target you become." He doubted they heard him over the screaming and he shrugged.

Ri had managed to get quite a head start, and most of the beginners fell off when Ran had made a scene.

"Keep your knees bent, the lower your center of gravity, the harder you are to topple over!" Lavi gave Ace another grin then zoomed towards the ramp. He made the jump seem effortless then slowed down to wait for Ace, it was clear that he wasn't in it to win it.

Several riders had identified Ran and Riley as the weakest link and soon the wobbly duo were surrounded.

It was raining now and Lavi clucked his tongue in response. "I think we should help your friends out, yes? He watched as the riders circled around the poor humans like hungry sharks. They were attempting to knock the duo off and onto the invisible net, "it would be the polite and morally correct thing to do."

The sky only continued to grow darker.

Loved the lyrics, Thunder, and I agree though I think they fit the darker side for some reason xD

Kei-chan...I can see Songbird listening to that on a bad day, headphones over his ears and glaring judgmentally at all the Nobodies around him. Hopefully tea with Brandu makes everything better :P

Loved the Morning Song as well, Ryver <3 it's so relaxing. It'd be perfect to fall asleep to.

For some reason, the kiddy video Aki linked is blocked *suspicious glancing all around* <.<

Ryver made two interesting contestants and had me make banners, I'd be happy to do the same for you guys.
