Tracy slowly woke up as Taylor shook her awake. She was about to ask why he was waking her when she smelt the food. "Where did it come from?" She asked groggily.

" Alex brought it for all of us." Taylor said.

"He did?" Tracy asked, glad that he hadn't forgotten about them.

" He said he'll bring more later. " Taylor said as he handed out the food to his friends.

She let out a small smile before she took the food. "I'm just glad that he wants to help us, even while we're well...," she said before waving her hand against the area to show that she meant the prison they were in. She was still afraid that Bryce would come in and take her away from them and torture her.

" I know. We're going to get out of here . I know Alex has a plan to get us all out."

"I hope so," Tracy said as she watched Deanna and Carly catching up on the times that they missed.

Taylor talked with Michael and was glad he was alright.

Bryce wasn't sure yet what to do with the prisoners. He hoped Alex would have some ideas on what to do.

Alex woke up the next day tired from his midnight operations. He just hoped that Bryce didn't know who or what had hit him during the night.

Bryce had wondered who had attacked him last night. He assumed it was part of the Rebel group that had attacked in the past . Next time he would be ready.

Alex walked towards the gym and saw the damage that was done last night before heading inside.

" Morning Alex. I hope you are enjoying your stay here." Bryce said in a friendly tone. He hoped this young man would help him.

"I am. I noticed the damage outside, what happened?" Alex asked, faking a concerned tone.

" We were attacked by the Rebel group . It happens often really ."

"Rebel Group?" Alex asked in curiosity. If he could find the leader of this group then he could ask for their help. Of course, they would probably not believe him at first, but it was a risk he would be willing to take. Before Alex could forget, he asked about his prisoners.

" Yes. It's made up of citizens of this town. I don't know who the members are but I know they want me out of here." Bryce said with a scowl.

"gee, I wonder why" he thought to himself as he nodded. "Is there any way I can help?" He asked, keeping up with the facade.

" Let me know if you hear anything from those in the city or here in the gym. I know how much the original trainers dislike what I've done. " Bryce said in a low tone.

"I'll let you know if I hear anything, but I might have to be part of them for a while if I want to gain their trust," Alex whispered back, finding it sort of ironic that he was using the same idea to take down Bryce.

" I appreciate your help Alex . If there is anything I can do , just let me know."

"I'll let you know," he said. He wondered if Sara knew anything about these rebels and would pay her a visit later.

Bryce went back to his office. He wouldn't deal with the prisoners just yet . He would wait till Alex brought back some information.

Sara had heard about the attacks from one of her sources. She was worried that the Rebels would be blamed for this attack.

Alex saw Bryce leave and cracked a small smile at his problems. He just hoped that his friends wouldn't pay the price for him pissing Bryce off and headed to the gym before letting Rikku, Jean and Zero out. He knew that when Rikku became Sama level she would be getting a garment grid as well as the various dresspheres that came with them and wanted her trained as much as possible. He also let Sora, Kit and Nita out to help Sora with some ideas for magical spells and vice versa. He also let Max out so that she could stretch her wings as well as train herself.

He knew he was risking a lot by having everyone training as they were, but he figured it was better for them to train then to not.

Sora learned some new spells from Kit and Nita. He knew he had to be strong enough to help Alex.

Max learned some defense training. She was good at hand to hand combat , but needed help with defense.

Kit and Nita were glad to see that Sora was able to learn some spells from them and were also surprised when they saw that some of his spells were in their spell books. Nita was able to learn more of his defensive and curing spells and a few offensive ones while Kit learned more of the offensive ones and a few defensive ones as well.

Alex watched Max and Rikku being taught by Jean and grinned lightly. He was glad that the martial artist was now willing to train people. Chuckling at the thought, he wondered if he would actually ever settle down in one village then quickly shook his head. After wandering around for so long, the thought of staying in one place for a long time would never settle with him. He would let them train a little longer before asking them to start cooling down. After that, he would see about talking to Sara, hoping that she knew something about the rebels.
