Night had fallen. Medabee was still awake. The city of Bevelle was awake with lights. For some reason, this scenery was familiar to him. something stirred beside him. It was Brass. Metabee turned and asked her, "You still awake?" Brass nodded and walked over to Metabee, "All those lights... It seems so familiar to me." Metabee nodded, "Yeah, me too."

Lierne's face suddenly appeared in Metabee's mind. Then another face. Another metabot. A mermaid-type medabot. A lost medal. And finally, a medafighter and medabot reunited. A medafighter... Metabee closed his eyes. Brass turned to him, concerned, "Metabee...?" Metabee kept his eyes closed, something was trying to force its way through. He was close to it. He was close to getting back his memory. Another face replaced the mermaid's. This time, it was a human. "Ikki...?" Brass tilted her head. The name told her something. But she wasn't sure what, "Metabee?! Are you alright...?"

Rokusho looked up at the star lit sky. It was almost time. He didn't wish to fight. But somehow, he knew, that he had to. And that was to help Zanarkand in its war against Bevelle. He closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of crickets in the grass. "If only this moment could last forever..." He didn't want to think about the next day. He didn't want to fight. He only wished to know where he was and why he was here.

"Brass... I remember...!" Metabee spoke in a whisper as if afraid his memory bank would suddenly go blank if he spoke any louder. Brass was still confused, "Remember what?" Metabee opened his optics to look at her, "I remember... everything! We were in a robattle, at the World Cup finals. Me and Warbandit. And then, suddenly, we woke up here." Brass still didn't understand, but the words made sense to her. A flash, cameras, and a young girl asking questions... "MISS ERIKA!" Brass suddenly shouted, waking up the medabots who were sleeping.

Warbandit and Sumilidon sprang to life, "Huh?! Wha-?! Where?!" Brass covered her lower face (where the mouth would be), "Oh, I'm so sorry. I've woken all of you up." Neutranurse shook her head, "It's alright... but what were you yelling for?" And so, Metabee and Brass proceeded to explain to thier friends about the time before they woke up in this strange new world.

Zark covered his head in his arms. Nothing was going his way! The new machina were not ready, and the old ones would not stand a chance against Zanarkand's forces. "Zark, surrender. You have no choice." Zark jerked his head up. "Listen, old man. I don't need your tips. I will defeat them, no matter what!!" Asaar spoke, his voice not wavering, "Since when has this become YOUR fight? It is all Bevelle that will suffer for your stupidity!" Zark furrowed his brow in anger, "Lierne!" His counsellor rushed into the room and glanced around. She nodded to Asaar, and turned to Zark, "Yes?"

"Tomorrow, we will send those talking machina to destroy Zanarkand. They'll be backed up by out soldiers using the old ray guns."

Lierne nodded and left the room. Asaar shook his head and left as well. It was no use trying to talk sense into Zark now. His lust for winning was in control now.

Rokusho got up. It was time to head back to the Zanarkand headquarters. he turned to leave, then spotted something. It looked like an old man. He looked vaguely familiar. As the figure drew closer, he saw it WAS an old man. He looked old, but the way he walked and the spark in his eye told Rokusho that he was wise and powerful. The old man walked up to Rokusho, "I have a favor to ask of you..."

And that was another chapter finished. I don't really like this chapter to tell the truth. And as for the Crusaders. Well, I don't know. I guess I'll just have to see. ((Hehe, to tell the truth, *I'm* not even sure what's going to happen in the end.)) We'll just have to see. I'll try to put them in though. ;) Keep those reviews comming!
