"Alright then," he said before taking his Bishidex out for a few seconds and looking at the coordinates of the place from yesterday. He closed it before heading towards it, luckily it was only a block or two away from where they were right now.

They walked toward the weapons shop and Taylor thought about what the Cheif of police said about Michaels disappearance . They had a lead on where he might be , but not to get his hopes up. Taylor pushed the bad thoughts out of his mind as they walked .

Alex noticed his friend lost in thought. "Something the matter?" he asked in concern. Even though he knew Taylor was out looking for the missing detective, he couldn't help but feel as if whoever abducted Michael would also try something in the near future.

" Just thinking about what I was told today. I'm just hoping they find Michael soon. It's been three months already. I'm sorry about being a downer . " Taylor said feeling guilty .

"You're not being a downer. Hell, I'd worry about it too if it were my friend out there missing," Ark replied. While he didn't know what it was like to be missing a friend or family member, he knew that if any of his friends back home went missing, he'd drop everything and try any lead possible.

Ark saw the weapon shop in the distance and headed towards it. He checked to make sure that he had the other half of the payment for the weapon ready and in easy access.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Scene/Character Change)

"Ugh..." Michael said as he slowly woke up, pain lancing through his head. He remembered investigating the case and got a lead about these two guys in black coats acting suspicious, but after that, he didn't remember a thing. He tried opening his eyes to see where he was. Once he accomplished that, he quickly closed them as the lights blinded him for a moment. Opening his eyes, slowly this time, Michael took a look around, realizing that he didn't realize where he was and his leg chained to whatever he was laying down on. What made matters worse was that he didn't see any of his Bishies/Partners with him.

If this is like the Kira Incident... the thought came to him instantly and shook his head, knowing that his partners were still safe and sane. He would have waken up sooner if he felt any harm to them.

(Sorry about taking so long to post. Been doing some painting outdoors before it gets too cold)
" Thanks for understanding. " Taylor said


***************(Scene change/Character change

Today would be a big accomplishment if it went smoothly. The Organization would have many new recruits to further thier plan. What would have been a simple orientation would now be a major set back for the police to stop them is capturing trainers.

((no problem. I've been in and out of consciousness while catching up on Alphas. I've taken a break after Bill and Gary's Extravagent Adventure episode and now listening to the Top 20 Countdown from yesterday. Also same Orientation that Taylor will be going to later or something different altogether?))

"Don't mention it," Alex said. "Want to come in with me or wait out here to see it?" He asked, waiting to hear Taylor's answer. He knew that Zero would be inspecting the blade for any inconsistencies, but would do it after he left the shop with the blade.

~~~~~~~~~~

Michael's hearing slowly got better as he heard about The Organization, plans and what sounded like something about an Orientation. He tried clearing his head, but whoever hit him over the head did a good job at it. He tentatively reached his hand up and over the bump, wincing lightly when he touched it.

(same orientation that Taylor's going to.)

"Sure I would like to come with you ." Taylor said with a smile.

*********
Things were ready for the plan to take place. The detective Michael Sanders was out of the way. All they needed now was information from him. They knew he had information on something they really wanted.

((interesting...my fanfiction author senses are tingling. Sorry for taking so long, there was an event going on in my MMO))

"Alright," He said holding the door open as Taylor walked through before going through himself. Heading towards the counter as he noticed his blades hanging up behind the counter and whistled lightly. The Owner of the shop heard the whistle and looked up seeing Alex.

"Ah, Mr. Swordcraft, I see you're back for your swords."

"Swordcraft?"

"Well you gave me several interesting sword designs. I know you only commissioned for the katana and bastard sword, but I couldn't help creating the others. I have a request though," the owner said as Ark raised an eyebrow at them.

"Name it and if it isn't too outlandish, I'll do it."

"Can I mass produce these? I'll give you credit for creating them and a small percentage for any and all sales," the owner asked and said which caused Ark to think for a bit before nodding, but saying that he didn't need any of the funds. Seeing that the owner was not liking the idea of taking money for the product without paying the creator for it. "Alright," he finally said shaking the owner's hand. After that, he paid the rest of the price for Forin and Tsuka and the sheathes for them and put them on and grabbed the other four swords once they were placed on the counter.

"Do you need the drawing behind the blades?" Ark asked as the owner nodded, just in case. Taking out his sketchbook, he carefully tore out the page and handed it to the owner. "Is it possible to set up a way for the funds to be transferred to a bank account of something like that? I don't mind coming back here every once in a while but...," he said.

"Do you have your Bishidex?" The Owner asked, as Ark nodded, seeing where he was going with this. Giving the man his TrainerID number, the owner nodded. "five percent sound alright, he asked as Ark nodded again.

( that's alright I understand. They are? Does sound interesting .)

Taylor was amazed at the exchange between Ark and the shop owner. It was interesting to see the designs made and to have some of them massed produced was a great thing to happen. Taylor hoped he would eventually be able to buy one once he had enough money .

Ark stepped away with the swords sheathed and the documentation to carry them around in his bag, in a separate compartment just in case he needed to get them quickly. He then headed over to Taylor. "Well...that was quite unexpected," he said, a little in surprise at it all. He only expected Forin and Tsuka to be crafted and would craft the others later once he got use to these two. I guess plans change... he thought to himself as he notice Taylor looking at the swords, mentally making a note to let Taylor try them out to see which one would best work for him.

" That was unexpected . There's an still an hour left before I have to be there. The more I think about it though the more that uneasy feeling gets stronger. I don't know what's wrong withe. It's the same feeling I got before Michael disappeared . "

"Feeling? Like what?" Ark responded, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

" It's probably nothing. It could just be nerves . I do tend to worry too much sometimes. ." Taylor did tend to over worry things.

"Maybe it could just be nerves, maybe not. Although I think you should keep your guard up, just in case. If there's one thing that both Jean and Zero taught me during training with them is that you always trust your gut feelings." Alex said, silently wishing that he now had a seal master with him so that he could seal some of these swords.

" Sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should give you my number in case something bad does happen. I'll keep an eye out for anything strange." He hoped nothing bad would happen toady.

"Sounds like a good idea. Just remember one thing if you get your Bishie before crap starts falling down around you, trust your Bishie. Even if the bond is just starting with you two, he or she wouldn't endanger your health. You read the manual on how to work the phone feature, right?" Alex asked.

(Sorry about taking so long, was watching the new Kamen Rider)

( That's alright. I've been watching movies today.)

" I did. I figured it out when I sent my sister an email from the bishiedex. I promise I will trust my Bishie. I just hope crap doesn't fall down today."

(alright)

"Alright then," Alex said as he got Taylor's number and gave Taylor's his number as well. "Let's just hope nothing out of the ordinary happens then. Anyways, I need to check on Angelus before she gets restless, and you have an Orientation to finish with."

" I'll see you when I get done. Where should I meet you?" Taylor asked as he didn't know when he would be done.

"Back at the hotel work for you or did you have something else in mind?" Alex asked.

" Hotel sounds good to me. I'll see you then." Taylor said with a smile and waved as he left.

"Alright, I'll see you then," Alex replied as he watched Taylor head into the building before heading towards the gates of the town. Once he was outside, he let Angelus out of her Bishiball. "Sorry for taking so long Angelus,"

"I don't like it but I understand." The dragoness said.

Taylor went in and sat down for a few instructions and then was given a set of Bishie balls. He noticed some strange men in black suits directing and turnig away trainers . He was turned away for some reason. Those who were not in the room were dismissed to leave. He had the balls to catch a Bishi now. He walked down the road and wondered what had just happened. He made a note of it incase it ment anything later.

**********

The members of the Organization had picked the trainers they wanted. The ones that they let go would be taken later. They made the trainers go into a truck and knew they had succeeded .

Alex was glad that Angelus wasn't mad at him for taking so long to let her out of the ball that housed her. Knowing that she knew what the 3 mile limit was, she took off to find some food as he and the others waited until she came back. Since the hotel was close to the gates anyways, he would leave her out until he met up with Taylor once again.

"These blades are pretty good. It's a shame I can't use my sabre on them," Zero said after a few minutes. He had currently looked over the swords and the sheathes for the swords and found nothing wrong with them. However, he knew that his beam sabre would cut through it just like a hot knife would cut through butter.

"It is a shame. Maybe I can find a demon mage or mage in general to rectify that later," Alex replied as he placed the blades back where he was most comfortable with them. "Well that and maybe make a seal so I don't have to carry all of them at the same time. Not that they're heavy or anything, but too many blades on my back isn't a good thing...at least in the long run." He said, thinking out loud, missing the nod from several of his Bishies. While Nita and Kit were Wizards, their Spell Books didn't have that type of magic in them. (Of course as a funny tidbit, their spell books, and the first book of the series, are entitled "So You Want to be a Wizard")

He then noticed Angelus coming down towards them with a worried look on her face. "Angelus?" He asked, knowing that most things that mortals did didn't worry the dragon.

"I saw something of note, a black vehicle driving away from this place. I highly doubt that's normal." Angelus responded as Ark nodded and made a note of it. Seeing that Angelus was full, Ark headed back into the village with everyone else minus his dragon and waited for Taylor.
