Opening and Plot
"'And God Created heaven first, the gathering place of angles, the sea of blue, a sky of white fluff and perfect harmony. In that heaven were all thing that flew, from swans, to eagles, to ravens, to crows. Then it is said that He poured life into the world, creating those things that swam. The two worlds lived together peacefully and from time to time would leave their own realm to mingle among the other realm. God soon put upon the world a third realm. One which divided the two realms from each other; Earth. With Earth came Gravity, and with Gravity, those who could not resist its force fell to the surface. As time went by, those creatures stranded on land adapted to the their new home. However, those creatures of the sea and of the land were not able to rid themselves of their lineage, their heritage, their reals homes. Thus were born the Gravity Children.'"
Devon stood to his feet, and turned from the old quacks story, one that seemed to be catching the common man like gnats. Only one month prior had the Gramscale kicked off. Many of the rising teams had neglected it, seeing it as a way to wipe out the small fry and maybe some of the larger teams. It was a clever tactic that worked for the most part. From the tower fell hundreds of thousands of parts mixed in with the blood and bone of the weak. Even the Dark Black At's the boy wore at that very moment.
The boy moved away and allowed himself to roll downhill, putting little to no force on the wings. His body carried him down the towards Higashi High, his place of academic attendance. It was a good school, but more importantly, it was the new meeting place of Mass Gatherings. One would be starting tonight, and this, to thee boys great dismay, was the night he had foretold would be the day in which he would announce Minuano's views for the future.
It wasn't that he didn't wish to tell the other Storm Riders, but, but how could he without being shunned and considered a Gale rider, a false Storm rider? His ideas were too radical, to different. "Rid the world of Regalia, or topple all the throne and every rider who dare call themselves Kings among other riders." The boy looked to the sky, blue and vast looking any other day. However, today, the buildings seemed to swallow it up till it was nothing more than a small puddle. "The Sky looks so small for me today. Is what I'm doing wrong. And what of 'that other team,' the one that peruses the dream Genesis left behind, the resurrection of the never raised Sky Regalia. What was their name? Was it..."
The thought flew by as quickly as three younger riders, all racing towards the school at speed less than impressive. Seeing them gave Devon a sudden boost of energy. He was gearing up to fly when depression struck him once more. "No, I can't," he said looking down at his father's Regalia. "Not yet."
The countdown has begun again. Who shall rise and who shall fall in the struggle for Supremacy? The stage is set and the curtain rises to what hopes to be an interesting Year.

Devon walked among the sea of people, brushing of the icy glances and hostile stares cast his way. He didn't mind them This place, Japan, was nothing more than the land of the last battle. He could care less what was to happen to those who would not at least consider his ideas after this day. There was nothing more to this entire meeting other than gathering all the best, and the worst, and separating them. That, and setting down his warning like he had done many times before. But this day was different. Even the wind which whipped and played about him like a small child, seemed to give him an unwonted feeling of isolation. It was like the entire island, air and all, was against him.
A small grin peeked out below his troubled visage. The thought of a tough struggle was actually exhilarating to him. If it was going to be easy, then he would have hung up his father's skates back in China. "Oh well," he shrugged, moving to the flag pole in front of the school. Almost at once the large roar of the sea ceased save the small talk from the flightless school goers who had nothing to do with the Storm Riders.
"I'll make this quick!" he said, not wanting to be late for his first Class. "I am Ghost, the Gale King, better know by you older riders as the False Wind King! I'm here for one reason, to dethrone the Eight Kings, and ride the sky of these wars. My goal is simply to make the air a free place for all, like it is for the birds. I have no plan on battling any of you, but if you go against my goals, Minuano, will crush you!" He picked up his foot and slid it across the ground rapidly. A small wind began to dance around him. Then he held out his hand and literally grabbed the air and pushed it, making it twirl around him like a tornado... no a hurricane. Then, feeling his point had been established, he picked up his things and began walking towards the the school doors.

The stero clock had been sounding off in its ransom assortment of electric currents and signals which only resonated in the air of the filth covered living room of a small home.On the sofa rested a blanket wrapped blob that moved slighly with each cycle of the radio alarm.Deep within the cotton plating a faint moaning could be heard.This continued for a short time intil the sound of footsteps preceeding the turn on of the lights.Papers tiled the cozy wooden floor.
The man who turned on the lights walked over to the sofa and hovered above the cotten blob within a cane and bucket of water balanced on his knee.Though this man was older he drew forth a shikomizue* and quickly yet precisely slashed at the cloth which then split apart allowing Yori's sleeping face to be seen.But it wasn't long after the use of his blade that the old man returned it to its sheath and had the blanket poured down on top of Yori.
"Gahh!" Yori screamed frantically as the water shocked his system into a jump start.He rolled of the sofa and onto the floor.As,layed on the floor of papers, his senses slowly returned to him.He layed on the floor for a moment before hopping up and glaring at he grandfater."What the hell!"
The old man snickered for a moment as if he already had a response planned out in advance for that very second."Ho ho. Why get anger with me?I just gave you a ten minute heads up before school started without you."He began to laugh with a kind of sinicial joy usual found in Saturday Morning Super Villians.
With this new knowledge Yori knew what he had to do."No!Its already that time!Ah Man, Mr.Kibuko is already on my case!"With no time to spare he ran to his room up the stairs in a mad dash.He change into his school pant and a white shirt while grabbing his book bag and his school jacket in hand.He trumped down the stair as if the world was ending stopping right before the door and dropping to the floor.A hand reached for his shoes but decide to convey themsleve to the checked AT's.Within a few short seconds his skates were on and he blotted out the door with his belonging in hand.
And all the while 'Granps' was laughing his lungs out at the sight of his disorganized grandson.
His wheel groaned as the were being quick stressed without a warm-up.But time was short the the distance was not.At a regular walking speed it would take Yori thirty minutes, running twenty, and a normal AT ride twelve.Now all of these times were reasonable enough but today he wasn't granted that pleasure for today he was allow seven minute to make it to his school.This was the layout but he had to put it together.Skids, wallrides, grinds, sharp movements and the speed of his AT's were his given tools and tricks.
After six minutes of a boring paragraph in which everything somehow fit together via garabe truck, a narrow alley and a downhill sloop rail to the school Yori was able to make it to the school thorugh the hall and to the doorway of his first period class, as the bell rang, somehow resulting in an after school detention slip for one hour that left Yori slumping to his seat in the back row sighing with his head on his desk.

Lee carved random words into his desk with his knife as the room piled in with kids, the teacher never talked to him about the knife probably to scared. No one talked to him he was never noticed but he did not care. The bell rang and the teacher began his babble on the history of some country Lee never heard of, Lee just took out is notebook a began drawing.
Finally the bell rang and school was over, one or two kids stayed behind for one reason of another. Lee lazily walked out of the school once he was out the main entrance a twisted smile formed on his face, he quickly put on his ATs and raced off to his favorite place....

As the ending bell rang Yori remained in his seat the detetion slip in his mouth.He watched as one by one the students exited the room.One in particular kept his eyes going back to him.The student who sat one seat diagonal from his own.The teacher's dispostion towards this student seemed to only horror.Whenever the teacher came around he paused and quickly paased this one students desk doing whatever needed to be do and escape before something happened.But this student flew acroos the school courtyard and out of sight from the window of the classroom he was stuck in.So for an hour of nothing he thought of that student and trying to decide whether he was a killer stormrider or part of a gang.This thought drove his head into the desk where he rested his eyes intil...
"Smack!"A folder was slamed infront of Yori's face.A hand of the teacher was connected to the folder."Your free to go, Yori.I hope I don't catch you tardy again...Right?"He asked in a cleaver voice of disbelief of Yori's answer.
"No sir." Yori mumbled as he stood up and walked toward the door.
The teacher quickly stopped him before exitting the class."I can't hear you."
Yori sighed in his mind but opened his mouth and without turning towards the teacher he said."I won't be tardy again, Sir."
After this he headed down to the main level before sitting on the staircase and latching on his checkerboard AT's and rolled off.Back home he wasn't sure but then again in the stormrider's world nothing is ever for sure.soon he was heading in the direction of his home thorugh the ever darkened streets.
(Sorry g2g for tonight)

Lee darted into a Chinese restaurant on his ATs, causing papers to fly in all sorts of directions. He then sat in his favorite seat and ordered his favorite meal general sou chicken. The Chinese restaurant was located under a turnpike but many at riders went there because there was many lines in there area. Lee quietly ate his food, paid and thanked the man at the register then went on his way.
Lee rode around the roof tops looking for something to do. He noticed a group of thugs in a ally and decided to drop in. The thugs were trying to get laid and were forcing themselves on some girl.
Lee crept behind them, he counted 6. He sneaked up real close and kicked one in the back causing him to stumble through the group, knocking into some of the others. They turned from the lady one who seemed to be the leader said, "kid your gonna regret that." Lee just smirked, two thugs came at him side by side. Lee gave a bone chilling smile and jumped up planting a AT into each of there chest, at that moment he the accelerated his ATs, and did a back handspring the 2 goons fell back with the air knocked out of them. The other 4 charged and lee did a round house kick to the one on left connecting the jaw of the goon, causing him to crash into his friends lee quickly hit the fallen victims in the back of here neck making them pass out.
The female that was watching this jumped up with a smile and ran to Lee. He was crouched next to the victims and was taking there wallets, she hugged him from behind. Lee jumped giving her a glare and rode off counting his newly "acquired" money.

The sun's light was still present in the suburban streets of Japan setting a fimilar western orange evening.Though the air in Japan seemed a little more powered with energy as if the this country was a hotspot of events concerning pop culture.When the word pop culture comes to mind, the words AT, stromrider, and the kings beginning to shot up for discussing.These word, although used in vain at most times, are powerful sources of info around the wheel scarred streets.But this wasn't of Yori's bothersome time he just wanted to get home for the day.
"Sigh.I can't believe I had this late.I was just a tardy."He pouted as he passed an alley in which a girl came running out of.He came to a stop as she passed behind him.He turned himself around and smoothly rolled into the alley wall only to stop and see six unconsious bodies of men.Form there smugged and tattered cloths they seem to be beaten.At first the girl came to mind in which a cartoon like slide show of a kung fu girl beating all of the men.There wasn't much suspicion why they were beat.But they the sight of a skid mark appeared.There wasn't a stormrider out there who didn't know how to point out a AT skid mark.So if it wasn't the girl then it had to have been a stormrider.Who was unknown but there wasn't much of a need to go after this person and so he sprinted off seeing that he was now an hour and a haft late.

Lee sat upon a high building ledge waiting, watching for something to do. He must have sat there for at least an hour finally, he saw a kid ride by on ATs. Lee thought whether or not he should follow and decided he would for lack of something better to do he would
lee stalked the rider from the room tops, watching his every move trying to measure his skill. Lee decided to get closer, he rode down the side of a building and began creep closer. Slowly but surely he got into arms reach, and began the difficult kill of pickpocketing a person while riding. but on a turn he accidentally bumped his hand into the rider. Lee new rider felt it.....
(Hypno-G thats you)

Yori felt a small bump at his side in which he knew couldn't be his arm.Or atleast he didn't think it was.Slowly he turned his head to see a rider.Now what he was doing behind him he didn't know but he could make a guess about what his hand was trying to get, since his wallet was haft-way out of his pocket before.So with a quick turn he pushed back a distance while using a hand to clamp down on his wallet.The look on his face wasn't shock yet of suprise.Amazingly, Yori remembered this kids's face. He was the knife wielding teacher scaring kid in his homeroom.
"What did you think your doing?"Yori said with his mild voice added with a small hint of irratation.With the one hand he had free from securing his wallet he used lazily pointing at Lee.

They both stood fast neither moving in any direction.Yori gritted his teeth as this guy seemed to be a threat now.The next move was going to be the decider.But which move was the correct one in this situtation.Yori scanned the possiblities quickly and decided each outcome.So though he came to the friction kick easy and quick but not fool proof.So he quickly made his move to get win the tug of war match.He quickly powered his back wheel to a blistering speed while turning with his back facing his opponent and thrusting his leg up towards Lee's arm.The wheel fast rotation plus surface would equal friction of skin which in turn causes pain.
((Note: As with all aspects of your character remember to check your stats frequently with other riders.This will equalize the odds by showing what you are or aren't capable of.Why this came up? This has turned to a battle so we realyy need to pay attention to character stats.Thank You for Reading.))

Lee let go do to his arm being busted up and then shot forward because nothing was holding him still. Lee decided he should forget about the money so he spun around and charged the rider, on his way lee picked up a leg pipe and when he was 6 or 7 feet away he threw it at the riders knee with his good arm. Lee then made a sharp right went around the rider and ran.

As the rider returned with the pipe he trying to accelerate way but what he didin't intend was for him to throw the pipe at him.This however was harder to dodge, but he didn't have the need time for a full move.As the pipe flew down towards his leg his moved his leg as fast he could go trying to evade.But this proved useless as the blunt power of the pipe transferred into his muscles and bone.The dreadfull pain suddenly fill his limb and when on to cause Yori to fall over to his knees and then to his side,cursing the entir way down.This didn't stop Yori from watching his attacker ride away.Thankfully, Yori had worst pains in the past which was enough to make the other pain duller and more managable.He got to his feet which were still a little wobbily and slowly began a rolled toward the his home.This day turned out to be something new yet perdictable in the world of AT's.

Lee was pissed to say the least. he didn't make as much as he wanted at the end of this day, but since his arm was busted he had to go home. Lee entered the bus station and counted his money again. He found that if he rode the bus he wouldn't have enough for rent. Lee looked around for cops and didn't see any, so he took of down the tunnel grinding the tracks.
When Lee arrived at his shitty building he walked in and knocked on his landlords door. The fat, overweight man answered it. Lee just held a hand full of money out. Then man let loose his yellow tooth grin, took it and shut the door. Lee walked up the stairs with is skates still on and when he arrived in is small one room apartment he crashed on the bed and slept.

The ngiht was rough.Filled with studies and work along with the injuries of his leg.He fiddle with his screwdiver readjusting his AT's while on the side of his bed trying to work.This was a small daily chanllege that wasn't much of a challenge as it use to be but it was the only way he could work and tune at the same time.His grandpa didn't mind since he to was a stromrider back then.Yori's most adaminte memory was his granp's telling him thing that happened back then.Yori sighed as he continue to tune his AT's then something hit him.A carving hiside his skate catch his eye.It was a date of the day he got his ATs.
"I never notice this before.This was Christmas, a few years ago.I used to wonder where the letters went."He said in a somewhat with a hint of disdain for his parents.He fell to his back on the bed looking at the cieling only to wonder about thing.My parents never seemed to enjoy the letters.Then there was the year in which Granp's came for Chirstmas.Mom and dad looked happy, I think.But when Grandpa gave me my gift they both looked shocked.But I guess I never assumed they would kick me out of the house.Heh heh.This thought continued on intil Yori feel into a slumber.
