Alex stretched lightly as he woke up, and looked around especially since he didn't remember falling asleep.

Sora woke up and felt sore. He knew he over did it yesterday. he didn't feel like going back in he Bishie ball until Taylor was here.

Alex heard Sora waking up and felt sorry for him, knowing the ill effects of overworking one's self. He quickly got dressed before hearing a knock on the door.

Lena knew where Alex was staying . She had left an envelope near the door to his room with instuctions. She hurried back to her desk since her break was almost up.

Alex opened the door and found no one there. Looking left and then right, he saw no one there. Looking down, he saw an envelope. Picking it up he headed back inside before opening it.

Lena hoped Alex got the envelope . It was important that he did meet with the Rebels , but they considered themselves as concerned citizens.

Alex followed the message to an abandoned warehouse with only Jean and Zero at his side since the message said he could bring up to two of his Bishies. The three waited patiently, not sure as to what was going to happen.

" Glad you could make it." A voice said. A man about 23 came out of the shadows and offered his hand to Alex. " I'm Cory. One of Sara's friends." He said .

"and how do I know I can trust you?" Alex asked as Jean got into a ready stance and Zero reached for his sabre, both getting ready in case things went sour.

" I came without my Bishies. I wanted to come unarmed to show that I don't want to fight you, but want you to trust me." Cory said.

Alex thought about that for a few minutes then nodded before signalling his Bishies to stand down. Jean and Zero did so, if ever reluctantly.

" We should move quickly. Bryce has these warehouses monitored. Follow me and I'll take you to the base. It will be underground though ." Cory said in a whisper.

"That's fine," Alex said in a whisper back. He just hoped that if Bryce was monitoring the warehouses that he didn't see him talking to one of the Rebels. He could possibly set it up with a false story if he had to, but he would rather not. Alex and his two Bishies followed Cory.

Cory led Alex to a stack of crates. He opened a hatch. " You three go down first , I'll meet you at the bottom. " He said keeping an eye out for any guards .

Alex looked at Cory for a few seconds before nodding. He kept his guard up though just in case Cory was leading him into a trap.

Cory waited for Alex and his Bishies to go down. He then followed and locked the hatch. " Stay close to me . Ill take you to meet the others.

After Cory closed the hatch behind him, he sighed lightly. He still kept his guard up just in case, but he decided to trust Cory all the same and did as he was ordered.

Cory grabbed a torch from the walk and led them down a long passage way. He reached a room then opened a door that led down another long passage. They reached door and Cory knocked . He gave a password and the door opened. " I'll let you go in first . Lena will be there in a second."

"Lena?" Alex asked before he was pushed inside, his Bishies already waiting for him. Mentally grumbling about pushy bastards, the three of them waited for this mysterious Lena.

" Good to see you again Alex . I'm not sure if you remember me. I'm the receptionist at the gym . " Lena said when she arrived .

Alex nodded after he saw her face. he didn't recognize her name but he remembered the face since he saw it all the time. "You're one of the leaders of the Rebels?" Alex asked once the door was closed behind them.

" One of them. There are others . Im sort of the insider at the gym , but I don't interact with Bryce at all. "Lena said . She hoped Alex could help them .

"Why don't you interact with Bryce, if you don't mind me asking?" Alex asked out of curiosity. He wouldn't mind helping if it would help taking down Bryce and his Black Dragon. He felt as if he knew the dragon though.

" He doesn't like being with the original trainers. Other than that I don't know why. I've heard he has some sort of plan for us but I don't know what it is . " She said.

"And yet he gives me the time of day? It can't be just because I captured and brought Tracy back to him," Alex thought out loud. "I'll do what I can to help," he promised, even though he saw Lena looking at him with a glare in her eyes. "Look, I didn't sell them out, okay?" he exclaimed before telling Lena how he wanted to stop Bryce, somehow being able to trust the female Rebel Leader, at least one of them anyways.
