Chapter Text
Amidst the blue sky and sparkling ocean of California, a sleek black Mustang was coasting down the highway. The riders were two females, best friends who were headed for Blue Bay Harbor. The driver, hotheaded Maureen Bayse, turned up the volume on the radio while consulting her sense of direction. The girl sitting in the passenger seat, Samantha Oliver stared out the passenger window of her BFF's car, shifting around in the leather seat. "Hey Mo. Mo. Moooooooooooo!"
The redhead lowered her head, sighing. "What?"
"Are we in Blue Bay yet? I need to surf!" The adopted daughter of Dr. Tommy Oliver said, tapping her fingers on the leather arm rest.
"Well what does it look like Sam? I am driving as quickly as I can!" Mo said, turning the steering wheel on her Mustang, the car turning onto the first major city street the punk had seen in several hours.
"Well. BLEH!" The other female replied. "Ooooh. Look, there's the town sign! Goooooo! I must be one with the waves! And don't even give me that look you're about to. You know I never get the chance to surf all the time!"
They had indeed reached Blue Bay after several hours of driving, and Mo looked out at the city's main drag, spotting several cute shops as she headed for the beach. The other female in the vehicle was so excited she was bouncing in her seat. "Oh, by the way, I have a place where we can stay," she said, green eyes sparkling mischievously.
Pulling the car over, the redhead turned the ignition off and looked out at the water. "What is it this time?" She said, climbing out.
Sam smirked, jangling keys off of her pointer finger. "The Olivers own a beach house out here. Dad agreed to let us use it. Ya' know, since we've been attached at the hip since he adopted me and since I basically lived with your family while he was on digs. "
"Fine, sounds good." Mo said, popping open the trunk."Board's in the backseat Sam!" She half-yelled as she grabbed her purse.
The Oliver clapped, pulling out her beautiful kimono-patterned green and white board. "The beach house is about half a mile from here," she said, looking around where downtown Blue Bay met the beach.
"Cool. Think I'll hang here a bit; maybe work on my drawings a bit while you surf. But first I need Diet Coke……" The tall girl said, looking around.
"Hmmm..."Sam tapped her chin. "Hey, there's a grocery store!" She handed Mo a five dollar bill. "Get me Sprite and Skittles pwease!!" She said, taking off down the dunes.
The dark-eyed girl looked around, and then jumped back into her car and stuffed the five in the pocket of her black pants. After a few minutes, she was at the store, ringing up the sodas and candy. Blasting My Chemical Romance's Welcome to The Black Parade, as she drove, Mo parked once again and locked the door, running down the beach.

Sam was already in the ocean, riding the waves with the serious surfer skills she possessed. The Oliver was smiling as she surfed: she couldn't wait to start meeting people.

Looking out, Mo sat herself down in the sand, plugging her headphones in and pulling them over her ears. “Maybe this wouldn't be so bad”... She thought while scrolling through the music on her iPod.

The black-haired female came up the beach towards her redheaded friend. "Omigod! The waves are AMAZING! Hey, whaddya say we head into town and check it out?"
Closing her notebook, Mo pulled her headphones off and nodded. "Sure. Why not?"
"Yay!" The Oliver clapped, helping her friend up, running up to the car, changing into shorts and a T-shirt and heading into "the city".
Laughing, the redhead started the car, after her friend jumped in. "So where to, Miss Oliver?" She said, before handing the green-eyed girl her Sprite and cracking open her own soda with one hand as she drove.
"Mmm….dunno….ooohh sports store!" The other girl replied as she spotted a place entitled "Storm Chargers".
"I need to pick up some surf supplies..."
Looking for a spot to park, Mo backed into a spot right by the store. "Here we are. Let's go."
"Yay!" The black-haired female was out of the car in seconds, disappearing into the store.
"Why am I not surprised?" Mo said as she walked into the store, dropping her head and chuckling.
"Hello, welcome to Storm Chargers!" A young adult female smiled at them. "I'm Kelly, I own this place."
Sam smiled back. "I'm Sam, and that's Mo."
"You two new in town?" Kelly asked.
Mo shook her hair from her face. "Yeah. She's here to surf, and I'm the car. "She said, pointing to Sam.
Sam waved. Kelly smiled. "Surfing, huh? One of my employees has a friend who surfs, maybe he can hook you up...DUSTIN! DUSTIN!"
From the back appeared a tall, curly-haired male. "What man?"
Kelly sighed. "Dustin, I'd like you to meet Sam-" Sam waved again -"and Mo. They're new in town."
Mo looked up from her iPod and said "Hey." Dustin nodded. He noticed Sam admiring a board on the wall. "You surf?"
Sam looked up. "Hells yes. It's been a while though...my dad's an archaeologist." She wrinkled her nose in distaste.
Kelly looked at her cheerful employee. "I was hoping you'd introduce her to Tori."
"Awesome. Will do, Kelly!" He said before disappearing.
Sam ran her fingertips over the board, still admiring it. Suddenly the door flew open and an angry blonde blur came in." DUSTIN!!!!!"
The aforementioned male appeared and Mo shook her head. She'd seen this before."Dustin, I told you not to touch my board!" A furious Tori Hanson proclaimed. "And now it's in two pieces! and WHY DID I HEAR THIS FROM SHANE??????"
The male fumbled. "It was an accident Tor, I swear! I was totally gonna fix it too!"
The blonde huffed, folding her arms. "It is in such bad shape I don't think I'm going to be able to fix it."
"Can I take a look?" Sam asked, calling the blonde's attention towards her. "I'm good at fixing boards...."
"She sure is." The tall girl said. "I'm Mo Bayse. Resident best friend of Sam Oliver. That one." She pointed over to Sam.
Tori nodded. "Tori Hanson. Unsuspecting victim-turned-friend of Dustin." She eyed Sam. "You surf?"
"Uh. Duh." Sam said.
Mo looked back to her iPod. Dustin had disappeared. Go figure. "So-" Before Tori could finish, a beeping sounded from her wrist."Crap. Looks like you'll have to look at it later, there's something I gotta do...DUSTIN!" The blonde yelled, before running out the door.
Sam turned to Mo."Is it just me...or did that seem rather abrupt?"
The redhead nodded."So what you want to do now?"
"I dun..." The Oliver trailed off. "Monsters?" She said, staring out the window. "Mo, let's go!"
"Coming!" Mo said as they headed out the door.
"Uh,duh. We didn't take martial arts classes for noth-" She was interrupted as an odd black creature attacked them. "Damn! And just when I was hoping they wouldn't notice!" Sam dodged a blow. "Aw man. And this is only our first day here!"
Mo turned, landing a firm blow to the unlucky…… She thought for a moment…and the phrase Kelzak came to her mind. Okay, NOT COOL!" She yelled as one tried to come up behind her.
Sam struck a Kelzak right in front of her. As her hand hit its chest, icy-blue light appeared, pushing it back. Sam's mouth dropped."MO! I just froze him! EEK!" She dropped to the ground, dodging another blow.
Mo noticed her friend, but was distracted by another Kelzak. But this time a blast of fire shot from her hands and burned the shit out of her foe. Sam shot up from the ground, hitting another of the Kelzaks with ice. " Omigod. Since when the effk could I do this?"
"I don't know! Just try and focus! It works!" Mo said as she blasted something again.
"I'm trying, but these things keep multiplying! I don't know how much longer I can hold up!" Just as she finished, green light swept them away, landing them in a room that looked like a dojo.
"Where are we...?"
"Somewhere safe, young ones."
