The Isis and co. were called the Secret Army the place where Alvin met them was the upper floor of an abandoned Guardian base. The place was their entire camp. The abandoned base had been dubbed Area Juvenile or Area J. Area J had everything they needed from a snipers post that was so well camouflaged that Alvin had almost gotten a bloody nose by running into it. There was an enormous training arena that was rigged by Arch so you could change it to whatever skill you needed. There was also an observatory in which you could look at the night sky the earth and a small river that passed by. There was a huge arsenal where everyone kept their weapons and suits. Everyone had respective rooms that were positioned perfectly for their liking: Isis was in the center of the observatory, Artemis lived in the sniper's tower, Kane by the armory, Alvin chose his room to be by the training arena, and Arch lived in the entire bottom floor where experiments used to be held.

The Secret Army was currently in the training arena which had been rigged to also play hover-ball mild version which was played by kicking and throwing a ball or score ball while trying to balance on a hoverboard knock other players of their hoverboard, trying to score in a small hoop, and dodging minor obstacles.

Alvin had been playing hover ball since he was three and had made it to an All-Star team 5 times. they were playing boys V girls to get Alvin's mind off of his dead dad. Arch had given up his place on the boy's team and became the commenter.

"Kane tosses the ball to Alvin. Pendulum knocks the ball off course. Eclipse reaches for it and grabs heading for the hoop and; BAM! she was sent flying by a cannonball. Alvin ducks the cannonball grabs the score ball and grabs the pendulum?…

WHAT A MOVE FROM ALVIN! grabbing the pendulum and flying into the air backflips Artemis and, he… Scores with a spectacular dunk."

“We get it, with you switching with Alvin its fair,” grumbled Artemis.

Isis chuckled," I remember how Alvin would always beat me and my dad Geb."

“Wait you knew he was going to win,” Artemis scolded

“Yup, I just didn't want to suck the fun out of things,” Isis said.

“Point taken."

“Jeez dude my brother would be jealous of you,” Arch said “, and my brother is Socrates Cranal.”

“WAIT WHAT?” the rest of the Secret Army screamed at once.

“Wait you guys didn't know about this?"Alvin asked pointing his finger at Isis, Artemis, and Kane.

“Nope,” Kane replied. “We didn't even know he had a brother.”

“Well, where do you think I got all the funding for the parts of this arena?”

“Wait this arena needed funding?” asked Artemis who was slowly being recognized as the one with the least intelligence of the group (she was barely 12).

You see the reason these kids reacted this way was that you know how Tom Brady or Lionel Messi or even LeBron James is famous right now because of their sports superstar status. Well, Socrates Cranal was like a legend off the Hover Court his game scoring average was 90% of his team's goals and also 60 interceptions per game.

“Okay guys we've had a long day I'll tell you war stories tomorrow.”

After a dinner that was to kill for and hunting down the last open store so Alvin could get some clothes to sleep in and wear, they finally went off to their rooms and got some sleep.

Alvin replayed the day's events after mourning the loss of his father for a few minutes he realized a key detail he had missed in all the action his mother and brother had run away when his father had summoned him to fight they were both his last family and he would track them down and protect them with his life.
