Jack and the blond-haired guy took a stop at the gate. Jack was really out of breath. He was used to running away from cops like this but he hasn't run 10 blocks across the street for a long time.

The guy opened the gate and went in.

"Hey, where're you going?" asked Jack as he followed him. "How did you just do that back there? I mean you were like a freaking flying man, you're like a ninja."

"Kristoff," the guy gave his hand to Jack.

Jack shook it, "I'm Jackson Overland, but you can call me Jack."

"I haven't seen you around," said Kristoff as he removed some boxes that were in front of something. Jack couldn't see it because the big rag was covering it up.

"Yeah I just got here," said Jack, taking in breaths. "Just for the need of going to school that's all."

"But you're gonna be dancing too.'

Jack shook his head. "No, no, no, no the reason I'm here is to take a break from dancing. People have been telling me to face the real world."

"You really have no idea what you just did back there, do you?" Jack shook his head. "You're b-fab." Kristoff pointed at him.

"What's a b-fab?" asked Jack.

"Born from a boom box," said Kristoff making Jack chuckle. "Like some people learn to dance, others are born to. And you're in Canada, the dance centre of the world." Kristoff took off a poster and gave it to Jack. "Check this; it's the biggest battle ever." Jack looked down at the paper; on it was written in big words, World Jam. and the ones who win, will receive 100 grand. "There's never been this kind of prize money. And those guys in the park, they're gearing up for this. You're good enough, you should be in this." Kristoff removed the big rag, and it shows a black car.

Jack's eyes widen, "This is your car? Oh my God, that's so sick!"

"Get in," Kristoff opened the door gesturing for Jack to get in. "What you saw in the park today is just the beginning."

°Skip Time°

Jack and Kristoff were driving across the city. The sun had already set and all the buildings were covered in lights. Jack's head came out the window, he looked around, and he was awe struck at the view of the city.

They both arrived at the back of a building. Kristoff came out and Jack followed him, figuring this must be his place.

"This is it," said Kristoff.

"What the heck is this place?"
asked Jack.

"Welcome to my house. The house of pirates," Kristoff slide the door to the side and went in.

"Nice place, but it's a little small to live in," said Jack. Kristoff smirked, he pushed a button. Suddenly they started moving up like they were in an elevator.

"My parents converted this place years ago," said Kristoff and Jack raised an eyebrow. "We all live and train upstairs and run a club downstairs to make ends meet. Kinda like a secret hide out." Jack nodded his head amazed. They stopped. "Right, this is it." He turned around. "We call this the vault." He pushed open the door.

Jack turned around and followed him, people were dancing, some doing back flips. Jack's jaw dropped as he saw how big this place was and how it had its own dance floors.

"Okay, I take back what I said about this place being little," said Jack making Kristoff smirk.

"Around here, dance is your identity," said Kristoff. "We live together, work together, battle together. But unlike other crews, we all have different styles. I found all this guys out in this city. Crazy talent, but no place to go. We've become some kind of pseudo family here. Where we could be ourselves and rules don't apply."

"This place is off the chain," said Jack grinning.

"Twin 1 and twin 2 over there," Kristoff pointed at two guys who were coming towards them.
"That's the Santiago brothers.

"You man you..." said Tom, pointing at Jack. He took Jack's hand and shook it. "We saw you dancing at the park this morning, you were-"

"Amazing," Jerry said as he too, shook hands with Jack.

"You are from another planet," said Tom.

"Your own planet, you're amazing man."

"I have a question-"

"No, no, no guys, no questions!" said Kristoff. Tom and Jerry are kind of  blabber mouths.

"I know, I know," said Jerry, raising his hands.

"Got it," said Tom. They both walked away but turned and said, "You're great!"

"Hey Kristoff," called out Jeff, coming from the side.

"Jeff! What's up brother?" greeted Kristoff as he and Jeff did their hand-shake. "Meet Jack."

"Please to meet you Jack," Jeff shook hands with Jack.

"This guy right here is the captain of the ship," said Kristoff, patting Jeff's shoulder.

"More like the first mate," said Jeff. "I heard you did some impressive work in the park today."

Jack was getting more confused as to how everybody seemed to know that. He didn't see them at the park. "How does everybody know that?"

"News travels fast when you beat someone like kid darkness," said Jeff.

Jack furrowed his eyebrows, "Kid darkness?"

"The guy that challenged you at the park," said Kristoff.

"Kristoff, I need to borrow you for one second. We've got something..."

"Can it wait? I've got to show him around," said Kristoff.

"Well take him," said Wasabi as he and Fred came to them. "Let us show him around."

"I don't know about that, guys," Kristoff shook his head.

"Please," pleaded Wasabi and Fred.

Kristoff rolled his eyes and gave in, "Alright. Don't hurt him alright." Fred and Wasabi grinned. "Jack, these are the ticks. Good luck." He patted Jack's shoulder. The two boys dragged Jack away.

"This came from the bank today," said Jeff when he and Kristoff were left alone. He gave Kristoff the paper he was holding. "We're six months late in our payment."

"We paid them last month," said Kristoff.

"What about the other five?" asked Jeff frowning.

"We're working on it, the clubs not making the money like it used to."

"The bank doesn't want to hear that. If they don't get the money they're going to put the vault up for public auction."

"Listen, don't I always have a plan?" Kristoff pointed to Jack. "This kid Jack, he beat kid darkness today and he did it with style. With a little bit of training, he could be the spark that we need to get everyone together to win the hundred grand from the world jam and pay back what we owe. Jeff we're not gonna loose the vault, alright? We won't let that happen."

Jerry was showing the video of Jack dancing at the park.

"You don't understand; nobody ever smoke kid darkness and got it on tape," said Tom.

Right after Jack jumped down, everyone wowed.

"You think the samurais are just gonna let you go like that? They'll find you and they'll battle you again," said Ben out loud.

"Wha-samur-who?" asked Jack, looking confused.

"The house of samurai," said Wasabi.

"The most cut-throat house in the city," added Tom.

"Our fiercest rival," said Jerry.

"What do you mean, they're gonna find me?" asked Jack.

"They got technology out there," pointed out Fred.

"Like the bears with a little GPS inside," said Wasabi.

"Okay that's enough," said Kristoff coming from behind. "Don't let them freak you out," he assured Jack. "What else's now?"

"And nobody messes with us," said Jeff. "Not even the samurais."

"Not unless you want to get roasted," said Fred. They all laughed.

"Hey Jack! Come on, I'll show you around the club downstairs," said Kristoff.

"Awe man!" they all groaned, not wanting Jack to go.
