The Champions: The Notebook of Secrets

A boy steps out of a large ship, lacing his shoes and stretching. As he begins to close the door, he yells,

Chayce: I’m going for a quick 7 mile run.

Stretches for a few minutes and starts his jog and after a few minutes his jog turns to a sprint and as he continues to jog down the long straight away from his ship. He is sprinting without a care in the world, his speed starts to get even faster, so fast his watch starts to glitch out due to his speed, so Chacye starts to slow down and eventually stops at a park for a quick break. He notices a small suitcase laying in the bushes. He initially looks away. But his curiosity gets the best of him and he walks over and picks it up.

Chayce: What is this?

Puzzled, he begins to shake it, but still has no idea what it is. So, he takes it back home with him. Still wondering what it is while running back home, he runs dead into a light pole knocking it down.

Chayce: Ahhhh!!! Oww!! That stung… oooo... (nervous expression)... let me just take myself home now.

Chayce begins to sprint as fast as he can away from the damaged light pole and as he hears police sirens nearby, he speeds all the way home and makes it back in 5 minutes. And as he enters the ship he asks,

Chayce: Anyone here? I found some something on my run.

A door opens and in walks in a boy with short black hair and dark skin complexion. As he walks towards Chayce he notices the briefcase.

Joseph: Chayce where did you get that from?

Chayce: Well, I was going out for a run, but when I finished my seven-mile run, I noticed a briefcase near a park, so I took it.

Joseph: (Confused expression) Chayce, wha... why? You do not know what could be in that suit…

Chayce: No... listen Joseph. I have a good feeling about this. I feel like whatever is inside is going to benefit us.

Joseph: Chayce I do not know about this. Some random suitcase was laying in the bushes, it just does not add up. Was anyone else at the park?

Chayce: No, it was just me, I took it and ran back to show you guys what is in it.

As Chayce begins to pry open the case with force. Joseph looks confused then stop’s Chayce amid it and begins to call the other’s down. The other people residing in the ship start to head to the main room to see what Chayce had. Down came three women, Paris, Calynn, and Aria. Then three men come from the kitchen, Zaire, Cy, and Jalen. Everyone starts to look at the suitcase as well. And Joseph begins to explain the situation. One of the women, looks at Joseph tired and with bed head.

Calynn: (Plain expression): So, I came down here. Out of my beauty sleep. For a dirty briefcase, Chayce somehow came across.

Zaire: Hold on can we pause. Beauty sleep??

Calynn: (Turns to Zaire with an irritated look) What?

Zaire: Nothing, but nothing beautiful about the snoring you do in your room.

Calynn turns her head to the side and is ready to gear an insult right back but before anymore insults are thrown. The sound of cracking begins fill the room. Everyone looks on as Chayce begins to tear the suitcase open it slowly. But the suitcase starts to make a small beeping sound. Everyone looks concerned and with Paris looking at Chayce.

Paris: Chayce get rid of that thing! You do not know what it is, it could be a bomb or something.

As the beeping becomes more rapid. Joseph and Paris both look at each other and run into the next room. Leaving Calynn, Zaire, Cy, and Jalen, who are fascinate now by the suitcase.

Joseph: What are you guys doing? Just throw the suitcase out or something.

Calynn: No, I want to see what the fuss is about.

Paris: You guys get out of there! What if it is a bomb or some type of suitcased-nuke.

Zaire and Calynn both shrug their shoulders without a care in the world.

Zaire: Like some small suitcase can hurt me. But I do not know Calynn you might wanna step back. Might be too much for you

Calynn: (Look with a confused expression) Might too much for who??? Just like your insults. No explosion will phase a diamond.

Joseph and Paris both face palm. But notice that Chayce has almost opened it wide open. And as be prys open the last latch. An explosion of grey and black smoke covers the whole room. Joseph and Paris both scream, while everyone else begins to cough, but Cy opens the hatch in order to get the smoke outside.

As everyone is still processing what happened. Chayce is covered in grey and black smoke markings, laughing it off. And Calynn and Zaire are covered in the smoke as well due to getting close to see what it is.

Calynn: This was not worth it

Zaire: Not at all

Both look at Chayce ready to knock him out. When they hear the other’s gasp. As the tri turn around the notice a chunk green all over the room. Paris begins to cry, Joseph is in shock, Cy and Jalen just look in awe, and the trio still covered in smoke look dumbfounded.

Paris (crying with Joy): Ahhhh! Money here, money there, its everywhere! This cannot be happening.

Paris begins running toward Chayce with tears still running down her face, thanking him. Calynn and Zaire still dumbfounded about how much money they have sitting in their living room.

Joseph: This cannot be real, it cannot.

Then in unison Paris, Calynn, and Joseph say,

Paris, Calynn, Joseph: We are RICHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Those three begin dancing all over the money then stop.

Zaire: What is wrong?

Joseph: We do not know how much Chayce found.

So they begin to count how much they earned and after a few hours pass they figured out how much they have, which was 20,000 dollars.

Paris (Tearing up again): Ohh my gosh, ohhh my gosh. We have… we have… we got 20,000 dollars!!!!

Calynn: What are we gonna do with the money?

Paris: we could go shopping

Calynn: Ahhh! Yes, or head down to Beverly hills and go nuts.

Calynn and Paris begin screaming with joy, then begin masterminding how to spend all the money in one sitting.

Paris (With a determined look): Okay the plan is we are gonna go shopping and get some clothes.

All the boys begin to look the other way. And try to leave the room. Then Paris offers them something if they come with her and Calynn.

Paris: We will feed you guys in return for your hard work in carrying our backs. Okay? Okay, be ready in 30 minutes.

Paris and Claynn run upstairs to get ready. While everyone else is figuring out what to do.

Cy: Is this really a good idea. 20,000 dollars just lying around in a park. Seems way to convient for anyone to stumble across that amount of money. What do you guys think?

Joseph: I thought the same thing, but it is free money. You cannot just pass up on free money.

Jalen chimes in: There is no such thing as free money. This money belongs to someone.

Zaire turns his head outside with an intense look.

Joseph: Hey, Zaire what wrong?

Zaire turns his attention toward the tree ready to tear it in half until…

Paris: WHOEVER, IS NOT READY BY THE TIME I GET DOWN THERE, BE READY TO EAT MY FIST!!!!

All the boys froze with a terrified look on their face and begin dashing to their rooms to get ready before Paris can initiate her threat. As they all dash to their rooms, Jalen looks outside it feels a strong presence, but turns back to go get ready.

Two figures, a man in a black cloak and another man wearing a face mask with a small insignia at the bottom of it, in a vest that is wrapped with bullets and guns, begin retreating through the trees turning one last time at the ship before ascending into the air.

Black Cloak: Hunter, you saw them all, right?

Hunter: Yes sir. They’ve been mark by the smoke and the tracker is in the ship. We won’t be losing them at all.

Black Cloak (Light Smiles): We have to be cautious especially up against Chayce, Zaire, and Calynn. Those three are the strongest among that rag-tag group.

The Black Cloaked figure pulls out a small Black Notebook. An aura begins to emit from the notebook. Both the Black Cloaked figure and Hunter give a devilish smile as they begin to set their sights on the Champions.
