(Part 5)

"Look! Look! I see the training camp down their!" Adam pointed out jumping over the tree branches higher and higher. "Right, we are very close to the training camp." Seraph added . "Make way for the mighty king! For I will win!" Kenzo claimed rushing forward. "Don't be so sure. I am still here." Ryan smirked mischievously.

"You brat..!" Kenzo uttered with veins popping over his forehead. "Don't forget about others!" entered Helios while Poseidon rushed beside him. "Winning like this is cheating you know that. On a wooden tree trunk on top of that?! Are you Santa?" Kenzo asked baffled.

"He isn't one, but looks like one." Feng complemented ridiculously. "Look! Look there's the gate!" pointed Azazel and Heber together. "Get out of the way!!" shouted Gabriel rushing like a bull and blowing away every one beside him. "Hey! Get a hold of yourself! How dare you try to blow away this king?!" Kenzo angered making haste.

"We have to hurry everybody or else we'll be late now." Xavier entered standing in between all of them out of the blue. A moment of silence took over all of them. "Where in the world were you?! And how did you suddenly pop out like that out of nowhere??!" Azazel freaked.

Xavier smiling questioned back, "What are you talking about? I was here all this time? Didn't you notice?" "No way in hell would anyone notice a ghost?" uttered Gabriel who was slightly surprised as well. "As expected of Vice-captain Xavier… as mysterious as always." remarked Ryan. "Excuse me, I am also here. Did you not notice me at all?" Cassiel asked.

"Oh Cassiel!! It's you! I totally forgot that you were even here with us!" Adam realized jumping up and down carelessly. Not realizing that he had caused Cassiel a second's heart failure with those words. "Oh I see… so you forgot about me…" he sulked.

"Haha, don't mind his words Cassiel, he is always like that." Seraph encouraged him. "By the way where is Ezekiel?" asked Poseidon worriedly, "I haven't seen him from the start, it's making me worry." Helios sighed, "Mother of my team… he is at the last. Don't even worry about him."

"HAHA! Mother of the team!!" Azazel and Heber jested together. "Helios, I am not joking I am really worried here! What if he fainted in on the way?" Poseidon asked seriously. Adam eyed at them with in disbelief running beside Ryan, "One is the father, other is the mother and the one left behind is their child…" he summed up.

Xavier consoled, "Don't worry he might be lagging behind but he is coming. I was with him in the start so don't panic. He will come back in time." Poseidon sighed, "That's good to hear…" "I told you so. You don't even trust me…" Helios replied dejected. Adam and Ryan looked at each other. "Father is sulking because mother didn't believe him." Adam summed it up again. "Boys!! Get ready for impact the hill is ending, let's go!!" exclaimed Kenzo. "Yahoo!! Finally!" Adam perked up in joy.

The boys altogether jumped of the hill and landed on the concrete road. "Hey everyone, check out! Are your boxes complete?" asked Heber as all of them checked their respective boxes. "Yeah, we all have complete number of boxes." Feng replied. "Then, what are you all waiting for? Run!! We have only five minutes left!!" Cassiel stated as they immediately rushed towards the huge gate which opened itself. "I will be first!" Kenzo rushed forward. "Not so fast!" Ryan bsrged panting hard. "Screw you all! Only I will win!" told Gabriel. "Forget me not~" chanted Seraph. "Keep quiet! You fancy words!" Azazel interrupted.

"My, my how ruthless…" Xavier whispered. "The winner will be me! Out of the way!!" cried Ezekiel as he finally made his way joining with the rest of them. "Made me wait for long." told Poseidon. "Hurry up! Only 2 minutes are left!" announced Cassiel.

And, as wild as they all could be, the fourteen boys finally stepped together inside the training base. Falling down with the boxes one after another. One over another. Taking deep breaths unable to utter a single word.

"We huff! Huff! Made it!!" Azazel panted hard. "Ah~ finally. My legs are broke!!" exclaimed Adam. "Hey get off! You're squishing me…" came a voice from under him. It was Ryan's. "Oh Ryan? What are you doing below me?" Adam asked laughing. Ryan glanced at him annoyed and speechless, "Shouldn't you be the one asking yourself that, what were you doing sitting over me?"

"Are we on time?" Heber asked Cassiel. "We are…" he spoke looking at the stop watch. All of them turned their gazes towards him anxiously. A grave suspense was created amongst all of them. "We are what?! Hurry up and say it!" Gabriel uttered cross sitting straight.

"We are… 30 seconds late." Cassiel spoke. A moment of silence befell over all 12 of them. And, a moment later boulders fell on their heads, "No way?! 30 seconds late?! What the!" cried Feng in disbelief. "Oh my god… our nights will be sleepless." told Helios with marks of disappointment on his forehead. "We're done for." Poseidon sulked.

"So… who won?" asked Kenzo sitting up straight and ignoring the fact that he too was late. "You care about that?!" asked Feng shocked. "My, my no need to be so nervous. I am sure it won't be that bad." Seraph consoled. "I wonder about that… the last time we were a minute late, we had to stand up all night. But, our weight was doubled his time so I think It won't be that much of a problem." solaced Xavier.

"HAAAH… I have zero hopes left." Adam sulked. "There, there, it won't be that bad." Seraph patted his head. "I severely doubt that." remarked Ryan. "Hey, prince boy, at least say something nice for once." Helios glanced. Suddenly a rough voice barged in between their conversation, "So you're all back!?"

The voice was loud and hoarse. They boys instantly turned around to find a middle aged man with a huge built. His wavy brown hairs scattered around his shoulders as he made his way towards them carrying an old clay bottle in his hands continuously drinking the sports drinks stored inside it.

Beside him a young man with a strong built walked forth. His hairs golden scattered around his neck which were neatly stopped with a white forehead band to reach his dark blue eyes which gazed gravely at the boys. Looking at the two figures making their way towards them the boys stood up.
