<Cell 1002-Loath`s HQ-Ryship Island>
……..“You’re a hard man to find, Teisel Bonne. But I got you now.”
“you?”
“surprised? Don`t you recognize me? Im Glyde Loath. Im working for lex loath Remember.”
……………………………
The conversation runned on replay in teisel`s head as he sat in the dark dim light of the prison cell. Was this the Glyde he knew. And how he had grown the last 10 years. But that blonde cut weren`t gone. But Glyde had changed. A lot. That irritated him. Lex loath had made him so. Teisel thought. But was it for the loss of Alec and Gine. Mostly, loath where damned for his actions. A greedy and corrupted man he had become, after his brother’s death. He remembered his old father told him about loath`s hard hand. “a man of iron and money” Johan bonne, teisel`s father had said. “correct indeed” Teisel tought. anyway, he had decided not to tell Tron about his past. It wouldn`t make her any good. Not yet. Tron where only four years old back then. She wouldn`t remember. But he did. His sis where probably out of control now. Filled with worries. He tought about writing a letter to her if he ever escaped this. He either knew where Bon had gone to. Glyde blasted him down, In Nakkai desert so Tron had either picked him up, or he was still around there. He then suddenly heard voices outside the cell door. Teisel looked up. The cell door opened, and a birdbot came in. “keh. Our master told us to give you this.” The birdbot handed a book over to Teisel. He looked at the front cover and gasped. It was a dairy. Glyde`s dairy. But it looked old. Almost ten years old. But why was this given to him. Did Glyde send him a message somehow through this. The door slammed. The birdbot where gone. It was only him and the book. He decided to read the dairy before something dumb happened. He didn`t trust this. But somehow…. He opened the book. A lot of pictures, and a signature from Glyde himself. The pictures shown Glyde himself, with a… Birdbot? No... this one where different, he studied the robot for a minute then closed his eyes and tried to recall. He knew he had seen that before. “come on Teisel your big grayhead! Remember!!” He felt memories flow through him. And after some minutes “I know… who that is… and he might be Glyde`s biggest and nearest friend as I can remember. The one he really protected, except for... no…” a memory striked the bonne leader`s head again. He felt sorrow raise inside him by the new thought. “well let’s start reading all my rivals secrets! Though I know a lot of them already...” Teisel turned to the next page and started reading the first chapter….. while he readed he tried to imagine it in is head.
Chapter one.
THE DAY BEFORE MY 15th BIRTHAY
The sound of the crackling Radio was keeping Glyde`s thoughts away from each other’s. Can`t think right here. he tought for himself. he sat on a chair on a room that looked just like an old workshop. or it had been his room, when it wasn’t full of junk, papers and other scrap. He heard footsteps. "Glyde!! what the...??" a female voice said behind him. Glyde jumped up from his chair and turned around. he stood face to face with a suprised-looking Gine Kagami Loath. his mother. "oh this? its just unfinished mom. just let it be." Gine looked at him "MOM I..."his mother took a finger on Glyde`s lips then she said "this looking like a warzone or something but... your actually our family`s little developer. and my little mechanic." glyde blushed angrily. "MOM!!!" he shouted but she just kissed him on the lower lip and he got silent for a moment then blushed heavily and hurried over to a bookshelf and grabbed the first book he saw. "so, tell me darling. what exactly are you working on... hmm?” this isn`t what it looks like Glydie? an airship?" Gine took up the sketches of something that closely resembled an airship. "mom... that is just sketches all right? i don`t even know if im ever gonna do anything more about it." glyde looked at the title of the book he held. A ENGINE OF LOVE. it was a book about engines and how they worked. written by an engineer named Gerald Caskett. for about 125 years ago, "well i think it looks nice. the design is almost like a bird of some sort..." she laid down the sketch. "well i had a name yesterday... Glydonia? no... not that? aha now i know it! Lord Gly//BOOMM!!/// something and someone came flying through the door and hit the wall right over the crackling radio. the radio stopped crackling for a moment then it got hit by the someone who tumbled down on the desk where the radio stood. now it started crackling from under the desk. "what in the world???" gine walked over to the desk and moved the remains of a jetpack to uncover an avian robot. "gahh lenny... no..." glyde facepalmed then laid down the A ENGINE OF LOVE book and walked over to the avian robot who dozed in his mother’s arms. he pointed a finger at its forehead and looked it directly in its eyes and said with a clear voice. "what are you doing?" then he knocked on the robot’s forehead. "kaw kaaw kawww" it squawked with a low tone. "you did what? escaped from the mailman?" glyde shooked his head. gine smiled and laughed. "he is just young darling." glyde snorted. "but he is also a invention of my father." gine smiled at him "aww but even so if your dad created him..."-AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT" Glyde shouted. Gine continued-"well why don`t you upgrade him?" She looked at her son then sat down the dizzy Lenny on the floor. "i have tried too do that since dad gave me him." Glyde dumped down on a chair then looked directly at his hands. " keep up the good spirit son. im going to do some errands with Alfred now." his mother kissed him on the cheek then walked out of the room. Glyde picked up lenny and cleaned him with a piece of cloth and sat him down on a pile of VHS players. they were broken. he stood up and walked over to the desk where lenny had landed. there was a newspaper lying under the jetpack. "hmm managed to get the newspaper did you." he took it up and it showed following.
(((((THE LAZER JET NEWS)))))
ENGINE FREAKS n AIRBORN DIGGERS.
on the main page, it showed a photography of a big stadium.
- this is the news! location for the years annual Digger contest is about to take blow!!! WE got you back up on the latest news.
Glyde readed further..
...ALSO, same as last year, our contestants will show off their mech, ship or machine! as for the tickets we sell at....
Glyde stopped reading.
"FOUR DAYS?? how im i gonna do this? aww we need something to go on with don`t we lenny?"
Glyde placed the newspaper on the table and walked across the room, took a cassette from a box on the floor. he putted it in a player and some synth started playing.
"kaw kaaa!!" lenny jumped up and down on the chair.
yes pal... tomorrow is school again. And my 15th birthday. which is lovely complicated when the digger contest is about to blow in four days. "how am i suppose too get time for all this? he leaned his head back and looked up in the ceiling. well... i gotta talk to dad about this. meanwhile... let’s go to Ryship shall we? I think the Loath Arcade center is open again after you blowed up all those arcade machines last month. Either dad or uncle where not so happy after we tried to break us thought it with the explanation: "umm we played the dusters a bit to much after level 1 trillion the cabinet just couldn`t take it" glyde laughed. lenny putted on some shade glasses and began imitating what glyde just said. glyde smiled and laughed even more.
The weather where lovely outside. Not a single cloud on the sky... Glyde headed for the garage and got his hoverbike, the "REBEL SWAN" up. "looking good girl!" he smiled and putted on some pilot glasses. Lenny came sprinting into the garage with a bag on his back. "a bag? what for?" glyde asked. "kaw kaa kaww!" Lenny replied. He threw the bag into the side wagon that where attached to the hoverbike. "food and stuff huh? so mom doesn’t want us to use money today... even though I have some in my pocket for use. well then more for the arcade then!" Glyde started the hoverbike. "her motor sounds beautiful." glyde drew the biker glasses over his eyes. the blonde cut laid itself over the left eye, but Glyde reached for his pocket and took up a hairclip and fetched the cut so he could see with both eyes. lenny took on a pilot helmet over his head and nodded at glyde. "ready?" glyde shouted over the rumbling of the motor.
"KAW!!" Lenny answered and lifted his wing.
then they where off.

“Lenny... yes I remember him clearly now.” Teisel thought. He was a bird robot. a prototype birdbot. better than these ones Glyde had now. Glyde where completely different here. So much younger. And he had a hoverbike. He remembered that he and Glyde raced one time with these “hoverbikes” he on his JET BARON and Glyde on his REBEL SWAN. well those times…. He looked at the next page. The writing where different from before. It looked like someone older had written in this. But why? “this book is more than a dairy I suppose.” Then he continued reading.

The rich businessman Alec Loath where staring out of his office window just to see his only son leave with the hoverbike. that boy. Alec remembered being just like that at Glyde`s age. after all... he was the one who built the great Rafael. ... Rafael... a name he knew from his younger days.. when he had a friend with the same name.. a wonderful guy. indeed.. he wondered what became of him. last time he saw him was when the mansion started burning back in XX75. when this friend, Raphael Garrison. had rescued little baby Glyde out of the burning mansion room. ahh.. those days. Luckily Glyde was alive now. he got interrupted in his thoughts by a voice. "the trailers are here sir! Alec spinned around. there stood a young man. "and who might you be?" alec looked at him. how did he pass the guards? "im the new warehouse leader of ryship docks sir! I’ve come here for my first real orders." the boy smiled at him. "orders? you can`t simply ask... well let me see your papers then?" the young man grinned. "what papers? I’ve been assigned for this." Alec had heard enough. without hesitate he marched out of the office, leaving the boy behind. he headed for his room and locked the door so none could come in to him. then he called his brother from his phone. "ah.. Alec yes..." the voice of his brother filled the phone. "Lex! what`s the meaning of this young slack showing up uninvited my office?" Lex laughed. "those containers contains parts of the Raphael. you ordered them yourself." alec was confused. the parts he had in the garage was parts he built when he where 16 years old. indeed, a long time since now. he finished the talk with his brother and headed for the containers outside. there they stood. with the "L" logo on it. he noticed that the boy had come out and was heading for him. «What stuff is it exactly inside here?" alec asked. "it’s is engine components for an special machine. a mech i suppose." The boy looked at alec. "do you know what kind of mech this is sir?" alec looked at the containers. "indeed, i know. but this isn`t the time to talk about that. Get some men over here and move the containers over to the garage over there please." jock nodded and bowed. "as you command sir alec loath" alec nodded to the boy and headed for his office. “WAIT?” Alec shouted after the boy. He stopped and turned around. “tell me your name” the boy smiled and laughed. “im Geoffrey kasuga Wrench, but just call me Geoff!” and with that he where gone.

Teisel felt like a question sign.
“Why the hell did glyde give me this?” Teisel looked up in the ceilling. Glyde revealing his secrets to his biggest rival. If Glyde hadn`t in some way planned this, teisel knew Glyde would been very upset. He shivered by the tought of a battle against glyde again. Tough it was his goal. Get out of this cell, give Loath and Glyde a piece of their minds and get back to Tron, Bon and the Gesellschaft. Thinking about the book again, this was of course… Glyde`s father. Alec Loath`s handwriting he just had readed. And that Geoff boy…. He got a familiar feeling by reading that name. he quickly looked around him and listened at the door for any activity. he didn`t want someone to intefere now. it was a one time only chance. ...he continued reading.
