 The residential area near the city. The roads are small and narrow but the low easy accessible rooftops make for a perfect place to practice your tricks and hone your skills. Many people live in the area. The local bus runs from the schools to Sakura Park.

Kenichi was sitting on a bench with his At's on. He was rolling his left foot forward and backwards a little while he was drinking some sprite watching many people walk past him, some parents going back home. Night was coming soon, everyone was trying to get home, but Kenichi seemed to be awaiting night. He drank another sip looking up at the sky with seemingly passionate eyes, whatever he was thinking about it must of been important to the young black haired boy. His olive eyes weren't even blinking. He just sat there while looking upward.
"........Eh...this sprites nice.."
Kenichi laughed to himself a little snickering still drinking.

Kenichi was beaming down the streets. It was night time at this point and no one seemed to be out. He was wobbling a bit, but seemed to get the hang of it skating forward down the street with his At's wheels spinning fast. His speed wasn't that impressive at the moment, but he began accelerating dashing forward as for a moment it seemed he lifted off the ground.
"HHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAH!!!! YEAHHH!!!"
He grined landing back on the ground with a little thump tilting his body to the left while scrapping the tips of his fingers against the ground as he turned to the left in the street heading another direction. It was amazing since it seemed even with his speed he didn't slow down while he was turning. Kenichi was something else for a begginner.

Kenichi continued rolling forward with nice speeds making short little turns back and forth. He was just practicing his menuvering, he slipped sliding forward and landing on his back while cutting his arm a little. He looked at it for a good moment getting back up brushing his jeans and white T shirt off before he accelerated forward leaning down and forward. Kenichi continued flying forward than jumped up a little landing on the side walk and began going down a path in a Ally it seemed.

Ghost stood in full uniform, the three chains hanging from his waist, his legs and his arm. His hood hide his side features, and his red eyes were hidden behind the veil of dread pushed forward from the hood itself. He did not stand alone. All but one of the false kings sat either before him behind him or at his side, as well as at least twenty other subordinates, glancing up at the same darkening sky. Soon they would take off and take their first challenge, an E-class match. This would be an easy match for them, especially since Devon would not be entering in this one.
"B.A." the boy called over to the girl sitting at his right. Bloody Angel glanced in his direction, her hilted in curiosity. "You'll be going second. You know the drill. We've done this hundreds of times before so I don't think I really need to say much." The group all looked to their leader who in turned turned slowly to meet each team mates glance and respond to it with a smile and nod. It would soon be time to show their power and their strength.
As the group waited, Devon took note of a rider turning a wide corner whilst speeding up. He initially wasn't going to say anything about the turn. But Ray opened his big mouth, breaking the silence, "That style of riding looks a lot like yours." He held out his hand and pointed in Kenichi's direction.
"Yea, but he doesn't understand the idea of the skates turn ration compared to his height and weight. He's running on instinct and pure talent right now. If he were aged, he might be better than that." Ghost scratched behind his ear and yawned. "It's not important right now. Let the guy ride his road."

Once he was in the Ally he turned sideways breaking while stopping in his tracks. He looked back behind him smiling at the great opprotunity he had. Kenichi smiled wide bending forward and thrusting his weight forward dashing forward out of the Ally with such speed it was a bit faster than the last run Devon saw of Kenichi. Once his AT's wheels touched the floor a bit of light steam raised up, his speed increased dramatically as it seemed almost he flickered to the corner not even running on the regular speed he was using. Under this speed, this wasn't the speed his brother saw when he saved that baby and unconcious did that 540 over all those 30 steps and people at the end saving that baby. But this speed was more controlled and seemed more like Kenichi tryed. Kenichi was back on the corner shifting his weight to the sides while scrapping his hand against the floor, he almost seemed to tilt farther down than he was soppose to. He turned the corner from the way he went before with a little less speed than his other turn, but he seemed to be getting the hang of it better. This was all for turning, not to test his speed out anyway. Like the wise Devon was saying, Kenichi......was running on his talent. Kenichi continued to go down the street, but slid to a stop breaking. He breathed a bit harder now looking back at his run, there seemed to be a little steam rising up from where he was before he turned back towards the Ally. That speed was deffeantly not ordinary for someone like Kenichi's rank. Kenichi closed his eyes slowly taking deep breaths, he spread his legs out into a strange stance bending his head lowered down while his black hair covered his eyes and nose only revealing his mouth. His right fist was against the ground in front below him while he took this stance.
"..................................I know I can go faster, so in order to catch up to "that" man...............................ill pass my human limits..."
From Devon and his teams vision it seemed Kenichi was focusing.

"Looks like a challenge to me," Devon said, a smile starting to from on his visage. He sat down and began to change from his four wheeled pair of AT's to a of inline AT's. He would not have been able to stay matched with Kenichi if he had kept the other pair. They were not fast enough. After slidin the new pair on, he handed his S-ranks AT's to Satsu and hopped down to the ground. He speed towards the boy then leaned back rolling on his back wheels only. Then he dropped down to the boy's left and placed his hand on the ground. The wheels spun around and around in a circle but his body never left. With each rotation he picked up speed, drafting himself.
At a point he was going so fast that his body became a blur. This was the testament of the Wind Ghost. Outside the walls objects were blows away. Inside the wall there was perfect calm. In the wall itself, the was a horrible tumult. Dust became stuck within the draft the wheels made and collected into a pseudo-Hurricane. A mighty Gale which was starting to actually become a little to big for the occasion.
As the newer recruits on the Rooftop gawks, the kings and the older more experienced members talked amongst themselves about things that didn't concern what went on bellow. "Are you seeing this? I didn't know Ghost was a Sprinter," someone cried out. "I thought he was a Trickster."
Bloody Angel glanced down at the girl to her side and sighed a response, "He is a Hurricane after all. While at the front he comes of as a Trickster, the truth is he has always been a Sprinter. On his feet, he runs almost as fast as you can ride. On AT's even faster. However, because all high speed AT's have a certain turn radius do to the exposer of the wheels to the ground, his style of running would be diminished. You know how if you turn to hard, the side of your boot hists the ground right?" She didn't wait for an answer, "Once that happens you suddenly have more resisting friction, therefore you are thrown forward. By using the larger wheeled skates, he can avoid unnecessary contact and freely turn three hundred sixty degrees without having to slow down. This coupled with th knowledge of his own height and weight helps to reduce the unwanted forward momentum. Simply put: He knows his skates and his own talent and he has the experience to know his breaking point." The girl brushed her purple hair from before her face and pushed the large lens glasses back upon her nose. "Not saying that he can't get better. But the performance from his skates can only go up negative exponentially. He is pretty much near his peak with those skates." She sighed again and scratched her head irritably, looking down on her cuisine. "The truth is, that kid is probably faster than Devon, but in a Hurdle event, Devon would be able to cut corner without have to wall-ride or slow down. As is the way of a hurricane."
Back on the road Devon called out to the boy besides him. His voice went loud to shallow due to the wind and his constant turning. "Yo! DudE, WhaT iS YoUr NaMe?!" It was kinda surprising that Devon's fingers had not melted of from the intense friction.

Kenichi's eyes opened wide seeing how someone was still on the street. He lost his focus and there was no need to go back to it. He slowly stood up still back facing Devon than turned his head around along with his entire body looking streight towards Devon with a bit of a surprised look. He hasn't ever seen a colored person before in his entire life up and close. This was probably the first time, hes seen one in person. Kenichi began getting nervous as his legs were shaking a bit than he pat the back of his head looking downward to speak his english, it wasn't that good, but it wasn't bad. Kenichi tryed to throw a smile forward towards Devon than looked upward seeing those people watching. He was so confused, but he didn't feel like trying to figure out everything that was going on. kenichi looking towards Devon calming down than gulped a bit.
"...........Kenichi................My name is Craft Kenichi....."
The boy's black hair swayed a little while the passing wind came, he seemed to be wearing a white T shirt with black jeans that covered his At's a little bit. Kenichi just witnessed all what Devon did. From Devons constant turning his hair seemd to dance around along with his T shirt. He put his arms up in front of his face a little so the wind wouldn't hit his face constantly.
"This guy...............................................what is he?"

"Slicerin, you said you would never let your young brother ever touch an At. What could of changed his mind..."
A tall person was standing on a building in the distance away from all of Raven's gang or Kenichi almost to far to be seen. He stood at the edge of the building looking down towards the active At riders out there, but looking down especially at the young boy that seemed to have met a more intresting person than he would think. The figure standing on the building had an Eye patch on his right eye. He was wearing a white shirt that had a color and black pants. His At's were all black with green symbols and patterns all over his AT's at the sides of them. The wheels were also green which gave it a nice look. His hands seemed to be gripping tightly, so tightly that blood seemed to drip from his hands while he looked downward towards Kenichi. His white hair swayed in front of him covering his face while he looked down towards Kenichi with that vicious left eye of his.
".........................The Fang kings little brother, Craft Kenichi.....................ill end you before anyone can see what Slicerin probably saw in you."

Ghost continued to spin, getting ready to rocket out of his current trick into the whole reason he was doing this little charade. "WelL, KeNIchI... watCH THis!" he said with perfect Japanese, so Kenichi wouldn't have to speak in English. The foreigner flexed his arm and then pushed up of the ground so that all four wheels remained lined up. His body skilfully aligned with his wheels and he shot of like a rocket down the street. Most people would have fallen backwards of would have been thrown to the side as they tried to go from a spin like that. He counter-balanced the off ward momentum by extending his leg a little as he came to a full up right form. Then as he moved down the street he again leaned over to his side, his fingers grabbing onto the road. Once again he was close to the ground. But as soon as he turned about he was coming full speed back in the same direction. He had lost no speed, no momentum. Only for the moment his body ducked low to grab the ground and push off. The boy weaved back and forth down the street. Each time he swayed, dust flew up high in a similar fashion as sparks would for a rookie. Still, he zipped down and was back to his original potion in no time. One last time he leaned to the side and bragged the road with both hands. His legs went skyward, out and around in helicopter kick-like fashion. Then he took his feet and slammed them on the ground coming to a halt.
He stood up, and brushed dirt of his pants. "Phew, that was fun. I wasn't sure I could pull that off after so long of not doing it." He looked up at Kenichi and smiled. "Your a fast runner. And You've got a nice turn, there, but you should try to get to know your AT's as well. Do your AT's have a name like Daedalus?" He held up his leg and pointed to the Black and Blue AT's.

Kenichi was beggining to see this guy was really cool, a bit creepy when he got on the At groove, but was nice and kind. Kenichi smiled wide pointing to his At's a bit strange.
"I don't really know, they were given to me as a gift by someone who didn't even give me there idenity. All I know is the person wanted me to run.......and thats what Ill do."
Kenichi gripped his right hand while looking down at his red and orange At's with a burning flame flaring passionatly in those determined eyes of his. Ghost would probably recognize those eyes in a farmiliar person he knows, that burning gaze. That passionate heart and soul.
"...Hehe.............I don't even know why I love AT's so much, I just love the feeling of speed..."
Kenichi blushed a little rubbing the back of his head as while he was acting a bit shy like a bit embarrased Ghost would see an Image of Sero right behind this kid as if this was trying to tell him something. It was a bit strange. Kenichi looked up blinking a bit and was surprised from his rudeness.
"I never got your name."

"When the hoods up, call me Ghost," he said pointing to himself. He wasn't full of himself, but when your around people it's a good feeling to be a little showy. It showed openness. "But... when the hood comes off," he lowered the hood from his face to reveal his facial features. With a quick shake of the dreads he glanced up again "Call me Devon. Heh, a speed demon. Reminds me a lot of Sero. Difference is, Sero can't stand in one spot for more than two seconds. Still, he could see the free spirit within. "That feeling," Devon said, "Don't let go of it. It will take you places. The only way to truly embrace that talent in you is to always remember why you ride."
"Yo, Devon," someone called from the roof top of riders. It was the voice of Bernard. "Me, Kaleb, Phoenix, Ray, Max and Julie are heading over to the event. It start in an hour! Don't be late this time, *****! I go first." Beernard gave his classic smile and thumbs up. He was always the one to go first and Devon always missed him going. It was almost like tradition. Still, it wouldn't hurt to show up on time for once. The two boys exchanged peace signs and the small portion of the group took off into the sky.
Then suddenly Ghost was on the ground. He was looking at Kenichi's skates, getting a feel for how they would run. "These aren't your everyday pair of skates. Whoever gave them to you intended for you to have them. I can tell just by the way you stand in them. Your feet are well relaxed inside." Then he lifted his feet into the air going into a hand stand, then hopped back to an upright position. "Sorry if I seem a little excited. I haven't been in this part of Japan in some time. Not since the last Gram Scale Tournament so I don't know anyone from around here."

Kenichi smiled, this guy was amazing, someone else Kenichi would be able to look up to other than his brother he thought. He smiled nodding, but than his eyes widened a bit confused.
"Oi, devon senpai! Whats a Gram Scale Tournament?"
Kenichi was a bit confused still, he wanted to know more. This person must of been riding on At's for a long time. And he knew lots about Kenichi's At's, even more than he did. Ghost was intresting indeed, he looekd down at his At's than thought to himself while looking back at the other guys on the building that were leaving.
"And who are those guys??"
Kenichi looked down at the guy's At's smiling.
"Suuuuggoiiiiiii!!!!" eek

((Sugoi?))
What was the Gram Scale Tournament? The question had shocked Devon at first and he took a step back, confused at how to answer. He had to remind himself that this guy was new to scene. "Those guys were part of my team, Minuano. And the G.S.T. is a tournament that is held every year in Japan for the ultimate pair of AT's. The Sky Regalia. But, you shouldn't worry about it. I doubt there is going to be one this year. Someone actually got them this time." He tried to ignore the thought of the Sky King. "But then, those thing are nothing but weapons. You shouldn't worry about them either."

Kenichi thought to himself, were these the things brother was so late home from. He was always tired, and whiped up. Even bruised a bit like he got into fights. It seemed like brother was hiding a whole new world from Kenichi. He looking up at Devon a bit curious.
"........Regalia? There weapons?........I see, going into the wrong hands would be dangerous..."
Kenichi placed his hands in his pockets thinking a bit. He was so confused at this point.
((Suigoi= CoooL!!!, AWSOMEE!!!, Radical!!, wowwwwwwwww! (In japanese) ))
