A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long to figure out… just to let the readers know, form the chapter on I will be combining S Class adventure and romance… and some unexpected events too.

Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids. Only my own char.

A Stranger Appears.

'It has been quite a while since those two have entered the trees.' Thought the young female as she stood up. "Well, I can't wait fprever for those two to return. I will just go and talk to the members of the team that are still there."

The woman walked slowly onto the sand, she was quickly noticed by the three boys. "Hello there! Are you Doctor Touros?" The man sitting by the rocks got up and approached her.

"Yes I am he. What is it that I can do for you?" She smiled as the other two came to stand by Doc. While Doc asked this he looked over the woman standing in front of him. She was attractive, no doubt, but he had an idea she was only in her twenties. She was slender and tall, and had an exotic beauty about her. She had silver colored hair and emerald eyes. He frowned as she began to speak.

"My name is Alex. I am an S Class representative. I am here to tell you about the S Class, and to answer any of you questions." Alex held out a hand.

Doc took her offered hand and shook it, "You're an S Class representative? You seem a little young…"

Alex looked him in the eyes, "I am only 22, let's put it this way, I am no younger then your team here. So, in a word, yes, I am an S Class representative." She paused for a moment before continueing. "And now that I am here I will chat with you about the S Class."

"But wait a moment! Bit and Leena aren't here." Protested the youngest boy.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about them," she said turning around. "They went off somewhere and I don't know when they'll be coming back. So no worries, they'll come when they do, but in the meantime, it would be nice to know your names."

Brad looked at her, "Gee, I would think as an S Class member you would have done some research before coming to us."

"You are a smart ass for a mercenary. Maybe I thought it would be polite to get your names from the source, but to retaliate, yes I do know who you are."

Brad smirked, "Yeah. Well then, tell us."

She smiled, "Okay…"

Meanwhile, back in the trees Bit and Leena were still in the same position. Leena raised a hand and ran it through Bit's hair. "Bit? Can I ask you something?"

Bit placed a kiss upon her lips, "Go ahead."

Leena smiled and nipped at his ear playfully, "What's happening between us, I mean, all we used to do was fight, and now we're…" she trailed off.

Bit smiled and ran a finger across her cheek. "Feelings change, and I know that my feelings for you began to change, oh, about 5 weeks before the Royal Cup…, (A/N I am basing this off an assumption that it doesn't take only 24-26 days to level up and get in to S Class, I am going to say it took them 6 months to get to where they are today.) …and I really began to like you…" Bit blushed.

Leena pulled Bit's head closer to hers and kissed him, "I think, no, I know, that I began to have feelings for you just a couple of weeks after you joined the team." They both grinned and leaned in for another kiss.

"…first off, your name is Brad, you are only 21. You started as a mercenary at the age of 16, that's not saying that you didn't start training before hand. You began you training at the age of 13, a year younger then you were supposed to, but that's beyond the point. You worked for a good while, going from team to team, earning your money, until you met the Blitz Team, and there you are today. Next," she turned to Jamie. "Your name is Jamie, and I hate to say it but I don't know that much about you, but here goes. You are 18, your father was an air Zoid pilot, who had the likings for the Raynos, which I believe that you pilot one too. After your father got into an accident he began looking for a place that would take you, and train you to be a Zoid pilot. He chose Doc Touros, who gladly took you in and trained you… which also means, I am guessing, that you have the alter-ego, the Wild Eagle."

All of them stared at her in amazement. "well, now that you have proven yourself to Brad do you want to explain to us what S Class is?" asked Doc.

Alex sat down and patted the sand in a gesture for the others to sit too, "Okay, right now you are in S Class territory, only the fringe of it, by the end of three months you will be across the sea and in actual S Class territory. Over there you will meet Zoids, and their pilots, that you have never even seen before. These Zoids are extremely powerful and you will not find being in S Class easy. Also you will be, no matter what, respected by all, lower class and S Class, teams. The Battle modes will differ too, however, I cannot tell you how, you will find out on your own

"You will also receive more money for winning against other teams, about 4 times the amount greater then lower class. Now I will move on to explaining the levels of S Class. Lesse', okay, the levels are split into 6 levels. Low, Mid, High, Supreme, Elite, and Master Warrior. Each of these contain sublevels too, they go like this: 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1."

"So does that mean that there are only 5 Teams on the lower level?" Brad asked.

Alex shook her head, "No, there are many teams on each level and about 15- 20 Teams on each sublevel. The lower sublevels have 20 teams each, the Mid sublevels have 15 teams each, the High, Supreme and Elite sublevels all have 10 teams each, and Master Warrior has only one."

Doc was writing all of this down, "So we can eventually advance into Master Warrior?" asked a voice from behind. Alex turned around and the other three looked up. Bit and Leena were standing there. Bit was behind Leena with his arms around her waist. Alex smiled.

"I am guessing that you two are the other members of this team. May I ask your names?" This earned her a smirk from Brad, and Brad received a glare in return.

"Bit."

"Leena."

"Good. My name is Alex. How much have you heard?" she asked, while motioning for them to sit down.

"Just the level and sublevel stuff." Replied Leena casually leaning back into Bit.

"Oh, well then. No, you cannot just "Advance" into Master Warrior, but that is a good question. As you battle you will rise in sublevels and in levels, each level will take you about 2 to 3 months to complete. When you reach Supreme the Zoid Committee is told and then you are asked if you would like to advance into Elite. If the Team answers yes then a high member, who supported the Team and sponsored the Team will challenge them. If you defeat the sponser you are moved into Elite.

"As you move up the Elite Ranks the Zoid Committee will be informed and the Master Warrior will be told. When you are the top in the Elite you will be challenged by the Master Warrior."

"And then," said Brad slowly, "we become the Master Warrior, right?"

Alex turned her head toward Brad, "No, not quite. You wont be able to boot the Master Warrior off that easily, even if you defeat the Master Warrior. If you lose you will remain in Elite, but, if you defeat the Master Warrior, the Master Warrior will take the Team and train them to perfection."

"How long will that take…?" asked Leena.

Alex rolled her eyes up, "That depends, but once you are ready you will challenge the Master Warrior again, and that time, if you defeat him or her, you will become the Master Team."

"Sounds like it would be interesting," said Jamie.

"So…," Doc began. "Who is our sponser?"

:::Sigh::: "Isn't it obvious?" Alex stared at the blank faces, :::Facefaults::: "It's ME!" she cried.

The others stared for a moment, "You're a warrior too!"
