Chapter 4: Black Hole

"DREW!!!" Drew's father ran up to him and gave him a hug, as he missed his son very much. "DAD!!!!" (note: if you don't know who Drew's dad is, then, i suggest you find out from someone else. j/k, it's Jamie) "Where ya been son?!" Drew shrugged, "Out." Jamie looked behind him to find Emma, Tally, and Chris standing there. "You've become a real ladies man, just like your ol' dad!" He patted Drew on the back. Drew blushed, "THAT'S NOT IT!!!" Drew's mother walked in, and when she noticed him, she almost cried. She ran up to him and kissed him. She looked behind him to see the rest of the gang standing there. "Who are your friends, Drew?" His mother (whose name was Lila) asked. "Well, as you two might remember, this is Chris, Brad's kid, and this is Emma and Tally." Jamie walked up to Emma, and took a good look at her. "You're Bit and Leeann's daughter, aren't you?" he asked her. She nodded. Jamie grinned and gave her a big hug, "I haven't seen you since you were six!! How are your parents anyway!?!" Emma looked down at the floor, her eyes beginning to tear up. Drew went up to Jamie and put his hand on Jamie's shoulder, "Wrong question to ask." "Why? What happened?" Drew told him the story of what happened to Bit and Leena. "Oh, I'm sorry about your loss Emerald. It's also a great loss for me." Emma wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled, "It's alright. you didn't know." "How were they killed anyway?" "Those assholes of the Eastern half set fire to her their house. Leena had given birth to a baby boy named Gabriel, and she had forgotten about him in the house, so her and Bit ran in after him." Chris explained. "Eastern halves ey? Well, someone gave me a birthday gift just the other day. One of the Western halves spies, I'll give it to you, Emma." Jamie said with a smile. "What is it?" Emma asked. "Come with me everyone, I want you all to see it." Jamie said, motioning them to come with him. They walked through a forest of Trona, and Jamie stopped when they reached their destination. "Here it is!" Jamie said pulling branches off, and unveiling the Liger Zero. "It's... The Liger Zero!!" Emma said in awe. "The Eastern half had taken it from Bit, after the house was set fire, so Drew stole it and brought it to me! It's yours if you want it." Emma began to shed tears of joy, and she nodded. "Good, it's all yours then! So what are you kids plannin' to do after all this?" "We're going to awaken a nightfall and search for the crystal malachite!!" Tally said with excitement. "You're what!??" Lila screamed. "Ahh..." Drew stepped back as his mother looked at him with one of those mom looks that tells you you shouldn't do it. "Oh no you're not, you're my only child, and I'm not going to lose you!" Lila said pointing a finger at him. "But mom!! If you want the war to end, then we're the ones to stop it!!" Lila sighed, "I guess so, but just be careful!" "By the way, how are you four going to protect yourselves? Having only a nightfall won't do any good." Jamie said. "I've got a Command wolf that my dad gave me." Chris replied. "I've got a pteras, and Emma has the Liger Zero now." Drew said. "I've got nothing.." Tally said. "Well what's your name, young lady?" Lila asked. "Tallulah Champ! Pleased to meet ya!" she said extending her hand. "You're Harry's kid, aren't you? Well, we'll see what we can get ya!" Jamie smiled. "Thank ya very much!" They walked over to a mini hangar that was behind the Hemeros home, and opened the door to find 5 zoids. "You have your choice of a pteras, gunsniper, lightning saix, raynos, and a cannon tortoise." Tally put her hand to her chin, and thought about it. "I'll take the gunsniper!" she said pointing at the gunsniper. "It's all yours then!"
