"Huh, I thought I gave it to you. Then again, the last time we met we weren't on agreeable turns, sorry 'bout that," Alex said, remembering how Bryce had set Greg up to take the fall for him. "I have a question for you. You said you had an Axel, right?"

" It's okay. I do have an Axel" Greg said. He still was angry for what Bryce had done to him and many others and was surprised that the School was behind all of this.

"Is it possible that you can travel through a Dark Corridor with him?" Alex asked, glad that he was right. He was also glad to hear that Greg didn't hold any ill will against him about the past.

" It is. How soon do you need us here?" Greg asked. He knew he could bring the others through the corridor. He knew Alex needed all the help he could get.

"Michael informed me that the sentries are getting closer and closer to our position, so I say we have a day at most, two if we're lucky. Other than that, I'm not sure what they're going to do," Alex admitted. He honestly wished that Michael had obtained more information, but settled for what he got from the famous detective.

" We can be there in within a day." Greg said and hoped Axle was up to a challenge. He didn't want to tire his friend too much.

"Thanks, I appreciate it," Alex said. "I'll see you then Greg," he added before ending the call.'Why does all the crazy stuff happen to me?' he thought to himself after closing his bishidex.

Greg shut off his Bishiedex and sighed. " Why can't I just have one normal day as a Gym leader ? I guess it comes with the job. " Greg thought as he went it find Axel and the others.

Axel was currently training, making sure that his accuracy was still in top form. How, one may ask? Simple, he was currently throwing his chakrams at full speed into several targets at different distances. The fact that the weapons came back to him every time he threw them was just an added bonus.

Greg saw Axel training and smiled. " Hope it's okay if I ask you something. " Greg said when he felt he had a chance.

Axel pocketed his weapons before turning towards his trainer and giving him his full attention, motioning for him to continue.

Greg told Axel about the conversation he had with Alex just a few minutes ago. " I hope it's okay if we use a Dark Corridor to get to Alex in time. He doesn't know when the School with strike, but he knows it's soon. " He said.

"If it was anyone else, I'd say no, but I know you know the risks and if there was any other way to get there, we'd take it," Axel said as he sighed lightly. The only reason it didn't effect him was because of who he was, but he did worry about his trainer.

" Thanks old friend. You know I'll make it up to you once this is all over. " Greg said.

"I know you will. Just let me know when you want to leave," Axel replied.

" I will. I need to let everyone we'll be leaving at noon. That should give them enough time to get ready." Greg said as he looked at his watch.

"Alright. I'll be here, working on my skills. Got it memorized?" He asked teasingly, able to work his catchphrase into the conversastion.

" Of course." Greg said with a grin. He smiled and went to tell the others that they were leaving soon.

Axel went back to training, hoping that the others knew what they were getting into.

Eve finished her breakfast and waited for Kirito to finish his. She wanted to still learn to fight knowing she would be fighting in other battles.

Kirito finished his breakfast and put his plate into the sink before turning towards his trainer. "Go ahead and go down towards the dojo and start stretching Eve-chan. I'll be there in a few seconds," he said as he went to locate one of Alex's bishies, Zero to be exact. He had saw him practicing his sword techniques and wanted to ask if it was possible for him to teach him some of them...after this battle was over of course.

Eve nodded and headed to the dojo. She started some stretches and waited for Kirito to arrive.

Kirito had a grin on his face as he went down the stairs, glad that Zero had agreed to try and show him some of his moves. Seeing Eve practicing what he taught her last time, he grinned lightly and watched her silently as he stretched. After he was done stretching, he made his presence known. "You know...if I was an enemy, you'd already be dead or captured by now," he said.

" I'm sorry. " Eve said feeling guilty. She didn't know that Kirito had been in the room until he had spoken to her.

"It's no problem, you're still learning. Awareness usually comes with practice, that's all," Kirito said with a small smile.
