CHAPTER 17 – NEW VENTURES

Everywhere DeMarcus went, the public news-screens were tuned on the attack on Representative Allers. The media scrambled over it like starving vultures as they speculated who targeted him, the obvious culprit being the Amalgam Concord for his rumored ties to the Human Defense Front. Not even the Iyrons Academy was free from the news, with students talking and searching the attack on their OmniMorphs during their free time.

With the possibility of Amalgam involvement, it reminded DeMarcus of that orange strip of plastic he had with the evacuation message. It had their symbol on it, and he figured it might clue him in to the truth. Maybe it might bring him closer to his attackers? Doubtful, but during lounge hour he couldn’t help but try to understand the message more. He opened the slip and searched the Terranet on his OmniMorph for the locations—maybe the letters GLDET and GLILL stood for something close by? But what about the numbers behind them, what did they mean? His search came up empty on the Terranet for both of them.

Spooked by the bell, he tucked the message away. The last thing he wanted was anyone getting the wrong idea about him. Not that it mattered, as later on he, Ty, and Yue would continue their training at the Civil-Mil Compound. On the tram back home, he followed Yue and Ty to the Iyrons family’s backyard where Jun was present babysitting Bianca and Amy. As those two ran around the yard, the three practiced what they learned from the weekend. It was difficult to do without the protective gear they wore at the Compound—they had to pull punches and kicks lest they injure one another.

To say nothing of how easier things would be without Amy and Bianca running between them every time they practiced a drill, with Yue nearly falling to the ground to avoid kicking the two as they ran by. “Will you brats go somewhere else?” she fumed.

Amy blew a raspberry at her before continuing after Bianca. Yue stomped after them until Jun stopped her. “Calm down, Yue. They’ll grow out of it.”

“You’re just letting them get away with it,” said Tyrone. “We can deal with them.”

“No, Ty,” Jun denied. “We’ve already had someone come from the hospital.”

DeMarcus nipped his lip. Right, wouldn’t want that happening again. They continued practicing until Amy and Bianca interrupted them once again, mocking and stirring their rage. But Jun didn’t let this one slide and snapped at them. “Amy! Bianca! Knock it off, now!”

“We didn’t do anything!” Bianca lied.

“Stop it or I’ll let them pulverize you,” Jun warned. Amy and Bianca flinched at Yue eager to spring on them, and the two heeded Jun’s words and kept away.

Back to training, Ty caught Yue’s kick and laughed. “You think that someone would do that?”

“Maybe,” said Yue. “No telling what some dumbass might do.”

“There you are!” said Keith at the door. He approached them, dodging Amy and Bianca sprinting around. “Practicing, huh? I was just visiting James over the news.
