It is a mystery to the many people who were living on the surface of the Planet of Zi of what the Hellrunner is actually thinking through its own primitive-looking head, or rather, its core, or why it does play tricks on the rural areas. But for other certain peoples, however...

KABOOM!

"Meep meep!"

They don't care of what other people think as Van and Raven chased the Hellrunner though the Elemina Desert in their Blade Liger and Genobreaker, with everyone else looking at them on the Pakicetus while they justsweat dropping at this scene as they flown though in the air, before Hellrunner ran off at its legendary speed, causing Van and Raven to sceech in rage like a motherfucking Tyrannosaurus Rex that have its meal being stolen by a Archeroraptor.

Its been a day since Hen went unconscious before he regain consciousness and woke up back in the Guardian Force main base. When the prototype Genosaur was asked about the blinding light created by the flare bomb, he doesn't remember anything about it as he already went unconscious before the Ptera even fired the missile. It was mystery of why Hen suddenly lost conscious, but there were a few theories; one of them being that it relate to Hen's lost past and Io might have worked on the Genosaur Development Project that was known as Project DG, which in that Hen could have recongize him before he faded, but it was just a theory. Hen was moniter for a few days for anymore sights of losing conscious since everyone knew that the last 2 were suddenly and unexpected, but there were no sight of it and Hen was deemed okay. It was already been a couple of days since the fight against the purple Genosaur and our protagonist's group decide to go somewhere that is nice and peaceful, despite the fact that they know that they can't get away from trouble at all. They were all just relaxing as Van and Raven were giving an grumpy pout at the Hellrunner escaping again while the Whale Kasier, the Pakicetus, was taking them to where they were heading to before the familiar captain of the Pakicetus, Captain Dean, then spoke to them. "We're nearing Grand Falls and landed very shortly."

Everyone look through the window of the Pakicetus and saw what Grand Falls look like; It was a normal-looking village, not too big or small, with just a dozens or so buildings that were at least 4 or 5 stories high, either of them being possiblity a Zoid Repairs Shops except for a few, with one of them being the Control Tower, the tallest structure in the village, being near the airfield where air-capable lands-and-goes. Right by the village is a purge-type waterfall that is called the Grand Falls, that is about a couple of hundreds feets high and flows over a steep cliff, and fed a river right along the village before it then curved and turn into an 90 degree right.

"Oh, how beautiful!" Fiona said.

"It is quite pretty." Thomas agreed, with the others mumble in agreement with them as they were nearing the airfield site, which look not much as there were only three unnamed and unmark parallal runways, which are large enough to land 2 Pteras, and a large blank area of sand that were part of the desert, before the Pakicetus landed on it.

Later...

The 5 humans and 2 Zoidian were in the village to check it out and see of what it has. They left their Zoids and Organoids back at the Pakicetus, leaving to whatever they were going to do; Zeke chasing some kind of flying anthropod and then Shadow eats it... before they were then chased by an army of killer hybrid bees as they roared that they swore that they'll never chased after one of killer hybrid bees ever again, Van's Blade Liger and Raven's Genobreaker are doing mediation and pretended that they and their pilots live in the world without that goddamn Hellrunner, Irvine's Lightning Saix running back and forth after being in the hangar of the Guardian Force base for a few days, Thomas' Dibison and Tartar were doing absolutely nothing except staring each other into each other's souls, possible in a staring contest, and Specular just watching the normal cloudy blue skies of Zi on top of the Whale Kasier. Hen and Ambient were watching them with interest while they were laying against the sandy ground of the Elema Desert before the black and red Genosaur then heard a bunch of laughing and giggling, causing to turn his head to the direction, which Ambient notice and turn his head to where Hen was looking at. There... Hen saw a bunch of childrens that were both playing and chasing each other as they were giggling and laughing at this, with one of them, a little girl with long brown hair, before seeing a young girl that was similar-looking to the girl except she has short brown hair instead as she is about the childrens' ages in his own mind and was also giggling and laughing at something before she turn around and smiled at him, before he then shooked his head at this before Ambient ask him. (Something is wrong?)

(Déjà vu, I think...) Hen answered as he suddenly felt a headache coming on and rub his head at this in annoyance. That is when both the black and red Genosaur and the crimson Organoid heard crunching sound of someone slowly walking on the sand before they turn and saw the same little girl looking at them. The other Zoids and Organoids took notice at this as Hen and the girl silently stared at each other. The 2 were silent to each other before he tilt his head to the right in curiosity and the girl did the same thing as she continue to look at him. There was silent between them before the 5 humans and 2 Zoidians got back from looking at the things in the village, which earned the Zoids and Organoids' attention except for Hen, as he and the girl continue to look at each other in silent.

"We're back~!" Fiona said cheerfully as they walked toward them, while Reese just rolled her eyes at this, before the 2 Zoidians notice the little girl staring at Hen, who was staring back at her, along with the other, causing them to mumble to each other about why they are staring at each other, before they walk over there and Fiona then spoke to her as she couch down to speak to her. "Why hello there..." That cause the girl to notice them and look at them before Fiona ask her. "Why were you staring at Hen?"

The girl was silent for just a moment as her eyes were filled with curiosity in them before she spoke to the 2 Zoidians. "Because he and red dinosaur were staring at me and my friends."

This cause Fiona to closed her eyes and giggle at this while Reese smirk and look at Ambient as he raise a eyebrow at being called a 'red dinosaur' from a child's naive nature before Fiona continue to ask her. "What's your name?"

"My name is Lizzy. I'm 6." The girl said, reveal to be Lizzy and that her age was 6, before she ask Fiona a innocent question. "So what's your name?"

"I'm Fiona." Fiona said. "And this girl beside me is Reese."

"Nice to meet you." Reese said before she spoke with a deadpan tone in her voice in the next words she spoke. "If you wondering the 5 who are behind us, they are; Van, Raven, Moonbay, Irvine, and Thomas. And the 3 other organoids are; Zeke, Shadow, and my organoid, Specular. The one that you called the 'red dinosaur' is a organoid named Ambient." Reese said before she give a smug look to Ambient as he glared at her before making a huff and return to listen to the conversion between Fiona and Lizzy.

"Oooooohhhhhh..." Lizzy said, like the curious young girl she is, before she notice Van and Raven are almost similiar to Fiona and Reese's age before she ask Fiona again. "Is Van and Raven your boyfriends...?"

"Yes." Fiona answered.

"... Are you married?"

That last question cause both Fiona and Reese to go blush red at this, both Van and Raven's eyes to go wide as flying saucer at this, causing Irvine to just laugh at this while Thomas and Moonbay just sighed at Lizzy's naiveness, while the Zoids along with Zeke and Specular just sweatdrops at this as Shadow shook his head, and Ambient just grin evilly at this as it was his turn to give a smug look to Reese before Fiona spoke to her, though still embarrassed from the last question. "N-no! N-not y-yet, o-of course!"

"Oooooohhhhhh... okay!" Lizzy said happily before she ask them. "Want to visit my mommy? We live right there!"

Lizzy point to the house where she and her mother lives; the house was actually right by the airfield of the village as it was a simple normal one story tall house that have a few windows that surround the house, have an steep 80 degree roof, and have a open-air porch with a roof over it and a flat wooden-made floor. On the porch of the house, a woman with long brown-color hair, like milk chocolate with the color of kobicha added in a few places, that must be the Lizzy's mother and was sitting in a rocking chair on the porch with her eyes closed shut, appearing to be asleep or possible relaxing with a calm look on her face. Lizzy run over to her while Fiona and Reese follow her, with the other watching from where they are right now. Lizzy's mother heard the crushing sound of footstep on the sands and open her eyes before she turned slighty and saw her daughter being followed by 2 people before she spoke to her with a calm, albert with somewhat resembling that of a person with depression in her voice, along with her dull and lifeless-looking light blue eyes. "Hello Lizzy."

"Hi mom!" Lizzy said with an smile on her face as she waved hi to her mother. Her mother slighty smile before she notice Fiona and Reese.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Fiona and this is Reese." Fiona said before she gesture to Reese.

"Ahh..." Lizzy mother spoke calmly before she spoke and told her daughter. "Lizzy, go play with your friends. I want to speak to them like any adult would."

"Okay mom!"

With that, Lizzy head over to her friend and continue to play with them as her mother watch with a rather calm, but dull smile on her face. Fiona and Reese notice this before Fiona ask her in concern. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Lizzy's mother said as she look down, which they knew it was a lied, before she stretch her right hand out as she spoke. "My name is Kits by the way." Hen thought he heard that name from before Fiona shook her hand.

"I'm Fiona and this is my friend, Reese." Fiona said as she gesture to Reese before she then continue to talk to Kits. "Now we're all know you're lying. So tell us, what is wrong?"

Kits was silent for a moment or two before she sighed and told them. "You see... years ago, I don't know how long since I can't remember it, when I was younger, about twice my daugter's own age, both of my parents were killed in an accident, far from we were are. The only other relative I have left was my older brother, Licoal. He left our village to join the Guylos Empire to give us money to survived at least. He often letters to me, but they only come few times every 3 months to our village. It was now almost 2 years since our parent's death, I got a letter from the Guylos Empire telling me that my brother has died of classified causes. It was at that point I was broken by this news."

"I'm sorry." Fiona said as she and Reese felt sorry for Kits as she already lost so much.

"Its alright. You see, 6 years ago, a young man I knew accidentally impregnanted me before he died a week later in an weapon accident. 9 months later... Lizzy was born." Kits said before she give a slight smile at this. "She was a gift to me from the heaven..."

However, before she could talk more, there was suddenly a sound in the air like a bunch of missiles being fired before a couple of explosion destroyed a bunch of houses near the Kits and Lizzy's house and the Zoids being hit by a bunch of missiles, knocking them off their feets and damage one of them, as the missiles hit the Pakicetus too, taking everyone by surprised and shock of what just happen, before a loud, ear-shattering screech filled the air, disorder everyone from how loud it was, as a giant shadow loom over the ground where the children were playing. Everyone manage to at least have their sense back together before Lizzy's own scream filled the air as something large then suddenly grab Lizzy with its feets, which cause everyone to be horrified by this as they were helpless, before it took off in the air of where it came. Everyone look up to see the thing and saw what it look like; It look a more dragon-like version of the Ptera and it was far more larger to boot as well, about larger then even the Storm Sworders as its width was twice the width of 2 Pteras, before it then took off at what appear to be its maximum speed of Mach 2 in the air, but it could be somewhere lower than that. Fiona and Reese recongized the Zoid from anywhere, but they never thought they'll see it as Reese shouted. "ITS A SALAMANDER!"

"A Salamander? What the hell is a Salamander?!" Irvine shouted as he, Van, and Raven run over to make sure they are okay.

"Its Zoid was assume a Pterosaur-type Zoid, but when it is actually a rare type of Zoid that is designation as a Dragon Pterosaur-type Zoids." Fiona said as she quickly explain it to them from the research with Dr. D. "It is designed as a bomber or attack airborne Zoid that carry a large arsensal that is capable of unleashing devastation from a great distance and possesses a very high service ceiling and an unmatch ranges. It is also heavily armored and travel at the speed of Mach 2."

"Was it really necessary to give out this information at this time?" Irvine ask as he, along with Van and Raven, just sweatdrop at this.

"I just thought it would be useful for you guys, really." Fiona said honestly. "But what more... they're supposed to be extinct!"

"THEN WHY IS THAT ONE IS ALIVE?!"

Fiona and Reese just shrug in honestly as they don't really know from the lack of information at this time. However, Kits was just shocked of what just happen before she slowly got up from her chair and walk forward a bit as she spoke one word. "Lizzy..." Then she collapse to the ground of her porch before being caught by Irvine as she spoke while she cried tears at what is happening. "Lizzy is my only child... She's the only relative I have left!"

"Kits! Calm down!"

The Zoids manage to get up from what just happen. Hen look at few of them with Kits as they tried to comfort her to the best of their abilities as they'll make sure they get Lizzy and some kind of... odd feeling spark inside of his core to urge that the Genosaur to save Lizzy from the Salamander. Hen turn to the direction where the Salamander was going before Ambient then spoke to him. (You're going to save her?)

(... Yeah.)

(Why is that?)

(I don't know... all I know is that I got an odd feeling that urge me to save her.)

(Then i'm coming with you...) Ambient said. The crimson organoid told the other Organoids and Zoids that he and Hen are going after the Salamander and tell them to their partners, which they agree since the Zoid couldn't be that tough since it is an airborne Zoids with heavy armor, therefore making it quite slow and clumsy in the air. Ambient then flew up into the air before he fused with Hen's core, doubling his power, before he actived his hover boosters and took off at the speed of 1040 km/h thanks to Ambient's powers.

Meanwhile... at the Salamander's nest...

Salamander flew silently through the air with its Magnesser Wings at about Mach 1.2 with the prey it capture in its left feet before it came upon its nest, high on the top middle of a cliff and was a cave, in the air and drop Lizzy into its nest just as it let out a screech before it flew away to search for more preys. Lizzy was scared by this as she doesn't know where she is right now or doesn't understand of why the Salamander has kidnapped her as she was shaken with fear by what happen. However, it didn't last long before she saw a glow behind her and turn around to see that few people like herself, apart from Zoids Scientists, military personnals, etc, are able to see in their lifetimes; Zoids Eggs, which resemble Zoids Cores except for the fact they have marking on them and are mostly semi-solid, which revealing the embryo that were inside of the eggs, as there were 5 of them and judging by the embryos that were inside of them, they were ready to hatch anytime soon. While the 4 of them were bigger than Lizzy herself, about 1.5 meter wide, and have an primary Auzl Blue-color with Light Grey-color makings on it, it was the 5th one that caught have Lizzy's eyes and she walked over to it as she pass by the other eggs before she look at it. It was about 2.3 meters wide and have an primary Pantone Blue-color with red marking on it. Lizzy stared at it in awes and wonders before all of a suddenly...

Crack!

A crack sound was heard, taking Lizzy by surprised, before the eggs itself begun shaking and rolling before the top left half of the eggs break open and the Zoid hatched from its egg. Lizzy could tell that it was not a Salamander as it was a Scropion-type Zoid that have the same size as a type of a small 1/24-scale Scropion-type Zoid called Deathprion and it mostly resemble one except that it was more heavily armored, color in Pantone Blue, Red, and Silver, it was a bit more longer than to its stringer. It got slowly up from the ground and stand up, albert with a wobble for a bit, and look around and take in its surround before it turn and look at Lizzy. They were silent before Lizzy then tilt her head to the left, wondering what kind of it is, as the newborn Zoid to do the same as well. They look at each other in curousity before Lizzy extend her right hand and arm out at it, which cause the newborn Scorpion-type Zoid then extend its right pinchers and arm out, before they touch each other. Lizzy smiled in awe and wonder before a familiar screech filled the cave they were in as the Salamander then flew in and drop a paralyzed Command Wolf from its beak before it saw them and walk over, causing the Scorpion-type Zoid to jump in defend of Lizzy and is prepare to fight even ment it own death. However, before the Salamander could do anything, a hand was launch and grab onto the back of its neck before it was given an paralyzing electrical shock, causing the Salamander to fall backward, revealing to be Hen as he rolled back the cables of his right hand back into his arm.

Later... at Grand Falls...

Fiona and Reese manage to calm Kits down at least, but she was still afraid of what might have happen to her daughter before the other notice that Hen and Ambient are gone and they assumed that they've most likey gone after the Salamander that kidnapped Lizzy, which were was confirm by the 3 organoids. That was when they've heard a familiar sound of hover boosters and turned around to see if it was Hen... but they didn't expect that Lizzy was on top of a Scorpion-type Zoid while it was riding on top of Hen as Ambient was up with them with his own hover booster before they stop in front of the house as Lizzy asked her mother with a happy tone in her voice. "Hey mom! Can I keep this zoid? It hatched and bonded with me!"

"... Yes, Lizzy. Yes, you can." Kits could all said as she and the other were still shocked of what they are seeing. This cause Lizzy to scream in joy while the Scorpion-type Zoid screech in joy as well before they got off of Hen and meet with Lizzy's friends to show them her new Zoid.

"Are you sure about it?" Fiona and Reese asked in concern about that decision, as it was, after all, a unknown kind of Scorpion-type Zoid.

(Don't worry, I got a piece of the egg from where it had hatched.) Ambient say as he pulled out a piece of the egg shell where the Scorpion-type Zoid has hatched from.

"Beside, Fiona. They've already bonded and i'm pretty you don't want to do it." Van said as he put his arm around Fiona's shoulders.

"He does got a point." Raven comment. All Fiona and Reese could do is sighed at this if they insisted upon it.

Later... at the Guardian Force base...

Fiona and Reese were looking at DNA from the eggs shell on a computer in one of the hangar of the Guardian Force base while the others look on. The computer then come up with the result... Fiona and Reese then breath a sigh of relief as they it is nothing bad for a moment as Fiona spoke. "Just as I thought, nothing bad at all..."

"Yeah, its just a... Death Stringer... scropling..."

The gears slowly turned inside of the 2 Zoidian's minds as they slowly realized as their eyes slowly transform into sheer terror before the final gear isthen finally clicked into place... and they scream.

A/N: Okay, this took me way too damn long to write this chapter. Its maybe because my lack of drive? Writer block? Or i'm being lazy... but who cares? Anyways, I'll promise that i'll get the next chapter done in a shorter amount of time... if you're possible wondering about the words up above, I can't say and you have to wait and see...
