Jazz took a cell phone out of her pocket. She dialed a number.

What do you want?! an irritated feminine voice asked.

"Um, Griffix found a person and bakugan out in the desert. They're out cold."

...

"Starlet?"

I'm sending Alana and Tal to help you bring them back.

The girl hung up.

Jazz sat down and picked up her stick. She drew random doodles in the sand.

****

Alana dropped down behind Jazz. Jazz yelled in surprize. She turned around.

"Do you always have to do that?" she asked angrily.

"Yes, yes i do." the older girl answered cooly.

Jazz huffed as Tal landed beside Alana.

Tal was a Ventus attribute bakugan. She resembled a green griffin. The bakugan laid down and folded her wings.

Alana looked over at the boy. She walked over and checked his pulse. Jazz walked over and watched.

"He seems to have been caught in a sandstorm." Alana declared.

"Wow, you're such a genius!"

Smack!

Jazz rubbed her head. "Ouch!" she muttered.

Alana grabbed the boy's arm and tried to pull him to his feet. She looked over her shoulder at Jazz.

"Well don't just sit there! Help me get him on Griffix." she snapped.

Jazz groaned. "Can't we just tell Starlet he was dead?"

Smack!

Jazz muttered angrily under her breath as she and Alana put the boy on Griffix's back. They climbed on Tal and the bakugan took off, the Subterra bakugan in their talons.

SMACK!

"What was that for?!"

"Stop muttering to yourself!"

Jazz folded her arms and looked at the blue-haired boy. He was breathing softly and his eyes darted back and forth under their lids.

SMACK!

Jazz turned around, bewildered?

Alana didn't even turn around. "I just felt like that one."
