Summary: There's a war going on between Zanarkand and Bevelle. So far, Zark, one of the high priest in Bevelle believe that Zanarkand has sent Metabee, Brass, Warbandit, Sumilidon and Neutranurse to destroy their city. Meanwhile, the medabots continue on their road towards Bevelle. They also realised that they have lost all their memory.

They only had a few hundred more meters until they reached the outskirts of the city. Suddenly, "BRASS! WATCH OUT!"

Brass turned around, there was a huge energy beam heading towards her. Metabee dove and knocked her out of the way. The beam passed right beside them, creating a huge crater. Metabee got up and helped Brass up, "Are you alright Brass?" Brass smiled at him with her eyes and nodded, "Yes, I'm fine."

"Metabee!" Sumilidon shouted, warning Metabee and Brass of the danger.

Metabee whirled towards the source of the beam, the city was guard by a row of mean looking soldiers, all holding big, ray guns. Behind them, was a man with spiked red hair. Metabee yelled at them, "HEY! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!" The man laughed, "Why, you should know, since you are from Zanarkand!"

Neutranurse turned to Metabee, "I think there has been some kind of misunderstanding. Let's see if I can try to talk to him." Metabee nodded, "Be careful, Neutranurse." She nodded and stepped foward. The guards immediatly raised their ray guns. Neutranurse didn't flinch, she just raised her hands, "I won't harm you. I simply wish to talk. We are not from this Zanarkand place you speak of. We are simply lost."

Asaar watched the confrontation with great interest. These machina could talk and act like real humans. And the yellow one had protected the purple one from the beam. They truly were more than just heartless machina. He just hoped that Zark had seen that too.

However, Zark had not seen it. He raised his arm, the guards lifted their guns. But before he could give the signal to shoot, he heard Lierne, "Lord Zark, perhaps you should hear what they have to say before you shoot them." Zark turned around, surprised at Lierne's objection. Usually, she agreed with everything he said.

Metabee's eyes grew round. He thought. For a minute, he thought he heard Oceana's voice. He looked to the source of the sound, only to realise that it had been a woman had spoken. Lierne, the red-head had called her. It had a nice ring to it. Lierne. Beside him, Brass' narrowed.

Zark called off the attack. "Very well. We shall see what you have to say. Lierne, show them to the palace meeting room. We shall talk there." He left the scene, his mind confused. Lierne never went against his orders. Could she be trying to betray him? He shook the thought away. Lierne was much too faithful to do that.
