"And there is the whole story." Dark just finished explaining what happened, and saying sorry to almost the whole base staff individually.

"Hey Dark," he turns to see Leviathan and Harpuia standing behind him. Harpuia was the one speaking; Levi had her usual look of 'why do I have too', "we just wanted to say we are sorry," he jabs her side

"Yeah, sorry." She walks off.

"Is she always this pleasant?" Dark asks Harpuia.

"No, I think it's about what you said." Dark had a puzzled look on his face. "Ok, when the three of us fought the first time we met we were at a stale mate."

"But when we fought the other day I won too easily…"

"Which shows you weren't really trying, and you know how she is. I think it's more her pride was hurt than her body."

"Dark can I see you please?" Dark turns to see Cerveau. He starts to walk with him.

"May I ask what this is about?" Dark asked the scientist.

"I confirmed your story with a camera that was still operational in that room."

"So you're saying you didn't trust me?"

"No, I actually had questions to ask you. Come on." They steadily hurried out of the room. "First, what is this?" he plays the part where the gorilla reploid threw Dark into the wall.

"Um, that would be me getting my ass kick."

"Not that, this." He points to a monitor. "This blue measures power in that room and the red one measures energy." Cerveau plays the part again, after Dark was thrown to the wall the blue bar spiked for just a second. Then he plays the part when Dark shoots a blade wave to keep the reploid from disappearing and the red bar spiked for just a second.

"Ok, so I was really mad, so what?" Then he played the part where Dark put on that strange armor, both bars spiked till the gorilla exploded then both bars dropped really low. "Ok so what."

"There's something you're not telling me. Why did your eyes change color? Why did your attitude change? What happened to your voice? Why did…"

"ALRIGHT, enough, I'll tell you but you can't tell anybody else, I'm afraid it might scary them."

"What on earth could scare them more than Ultima?" Cerveau asked, concerned.

"I'm not going to go into details; I'll just go straight to the point…"

"What could possibly be so bad?!"

"I'm part ………" he whispered really low.

"I can't hear you, speak up Dark."

"I'm… part…" he hesitated. 'Should I really be telling people my problems?' Just ask Dark opened his mouth the alarm went off. "What the, there must be a problem."

"There he goes, avoiding things." Cerveau starts walking to the control room.

"What's the problem?" Zero asked as dark walked through the door.

"Some hacker has set the alarm off; they are penetrating our defenses so easily."

"Can you trace it?" Ciel asked walking through the door at just the right moment.

"Tracing… What is this?!" One of the girls stood up, run to Ciel, and whispered something in her ear. Her expression went from worried to shock.

"You are sure." The girl gave a nod. "Do you know where?" She shook her head no. "Ok, I need to put you all in teams. Zero, I want you to take these two and search the first floor." They all gave a nod. "I want you three to come with me. Dark, you take him with you and check the third floor."

"What are we looking for?" Zero asked.

"Oh sorry, the hacking attempts are coming from inside the base. This means we have a traitor in our midst. We must find and stop this." 'Ciel seems a little unusual, maybe it's that time of the month.' Dark chuckles a bit. "Do you find something funny?!" Ciel asked Dark half screaming.

"Um, uh, no ma'am." 'She's scary as hell.'

"All of you to your commanded levels and search, radio in after you search the whole floor or if you find something." Ciel ordered as everyone marched to their designated floors.

Hours later…

"Something is wrong, Ciel should have finished to second floor a while ago and Dark should be done by now. Something's up."

"Zero," it was Dark.

"What are you doing here?" Zero asked very surprised.

"The hacker is jamming our communications; I've been trying to contact you for half an hour. I need to tell you that I sensed Ultima's presence on the second floor, I tried to help her but my 'companion' was part of the hacker's gang of buddies…"

"What do you mean 'her?" Zero asked anger beginning to rise, he already knew the answer.

"Just hold on a minute. I know that you know who but before you go and blow something up they're all above ground and issuing as a formal challenge. Yes, I know they are up to something but we really don't have a choice in the matter, they have Ciel and Leviathan…" Dark starts laughing.

"Are you crazy or did you just recently lose your mind?" Zero asks, meaning it.

"I'm sorry I can picture it now, Leviathan and her pride. 'Thinking I'm pathetic is one thing, but proving it, that's not fair.' Ha ha, yes I know I have a weird sense of…" Zero chuckles a bit.

"Well, I guess your weird sense of humor is a little contagious. The problem with that is you don't see her crying. But enough fun time to get your fight on, we have an invitation to accept." They start off to the stairs.

"So, Zero, What do you think they will try to pull?" Dark questioned.

"Well, first they will have some of their grunts fall from the sky, but not before a bunch of um burst out from under the ground, they will probably use the hostages as shielding…"

"Ok, damn you really think these things through, the extra man power yeah but everyone they have is in the command center, they put it as, 'don't want them in the way but I still want them to see you die.' I know their lying, I already went everyone they have is in there with a couple guards but Ciel and Levi wasn't there. And Harpuia wasn't there either."

"Harpuia is probably up there waiting for us." They get to the top floor. "Ok Dark, keep an eye out for any and all tricks they might pull, got it?"

"I already knew that, lets just go kick some ass."
