CHAPTER 3

"Sir?"

"Yes, what do you want?"

"We've found the final piece."

"Very well. Bring it to me in the I-Chamber immediately."

"It will take a while to get sir, seeing as it's location."

"Then bring it to me as soon as possible. We cannot finish our mission without it."

"Yes sir."

********************

"So, how'd your battle go?" Leena asked. The entire group was in the hanger of the Blitz teams base, doing various things.

"We won in under 6 minutes." Lavender answered triumphantly. It was such an easy battle that none of their zoids received any damage.

"Not bad for the Fuzzy Pandas." Leena replied.

Jemie suddenly came running up, followed closely by Orihime. The two of them had been doing research on Koh and Nadias experiments.

"You guy's.." Jemie said, a look of worry crossing his face.

"Everyone needs to come to the computer room now!" Orihime added, a look of worry also on her face.

"What's up?" Lavender asked.

"Just tell everyone to meet us in the computer room." Jemie said, turning back around and heading back into the direction of the computer room.

Five minutes later, everyone was sitting on the various couches and chairs, waiting for Jemie and Ori to explain what was wrong. Jemie stood up, and turned off the lights so that the images on the screen would be easier to see.

"So Jemie what's up?" Brad asked.

"We found something important." Jemie said, looking over to Orihime who nodded, and brought up a screen on the computer that showed a picture of two people, a man and a women, with a brief description underneath.

The man had long silver hair, and piercing dark blue eyes. He was semi- muscular and tall, and had a smile on his face that gave the impression that he was a very kind guy. The woman, who was small compared to the man, had shoulder-length silky wine red hair. Her eyes were silver, and she had a pretty smile that seemed to give her a mysterious aura.

"This, " Jemie explained, "Is Koh and Nadia Light-feather."

"So that's Rain and Clouds parents?" Izumi said, looking over the two on the screen.

"Yeah..." Orihime said.

"Ok down to business." Jemie said, "According to the information, Koh and Nadia hid their system, as you all know..."

"but now a group of people that call themselves the ShadowStalkers, is after it..." Orihime added.

"and they will stop at nothing until they find it." Jemie continued.

"There's a major problem though..." Orihime said, "Rain."

"What about Rain?" Goji asked.

"Well," Jemie began, trying to figure out how to word his sentence.

"Rain is needed to get at the system." Orihime explained.

"What do you mean?" Lavender said, a bit confused.

"Rain has a sort of key... I guess." Jemie said, "I haven't figured out exactly how, but she is needed to unlock the place where the system is hidden."

"Cloud also had a key," Orihime said, "But since nobody knows if he is alive or not..."

"Ok... let me get this strait," Bit said, crossing his arms across his chest, "Koh and Nadia hid their system, and made it so that only Rain and Cloud could get to it? because they have some kind of key?"

"Right." Orihime and Jemie said together. Everyone thought about it for a second, suddenly realizing what the two were getting at.

"So you think the ShadowStalkers are going to try and find Rain!" Izumi said, "and then use her to find the system."

Jemie nodded, "They'll probably be searching for Cloud as well, since nobody knows that he could be dead."

"Then we have to find Rain, and get to the system before them." Doctor Tauros said, "so we can destroy it."

"Exactly." Orihime said, and nodded.

**************************

Rain had been following Rei for a while now, still amazed at his zoid. He used a very modified Lightning Siax, that had foldable hidden wings. Not to mention the added arsenals. He called it the Sky Runner.

"We're almost there." Rei said, appearing on Rains screen, a mischievous but innocent smile on his face.

"What are you planning Rei?" Rain asked, LightStrike giving a small curious growl.

"You'll see."

**************************

"We're gonna have to spilt into two groups." Doctor Tauros said, "1 will go look for Rain, the other needs to find the system, since I doubt Rain will know where it is."

"Right, so who's goin where?" Lavender asked.

"Im looking for Rain." Izumi said stubbornly.

"I don't pilot a zoid, so I'll work on the computers to try and find more info on the system." Orihime stated.

After about ten minutes of deciding, and some arguing, the group had all decided what they were going to do. Izumi, Bit, Jemie, Leon, Tyra and Goji were going to look for Rain, while Lavender, Brad, Naomi, Leena and Orihime were going to look for the system.

"All right everyone," Doctor Tauros said, "We'll get some rest, then start the search bright and early tomorrow morning."

Everyone agreed, splitting in various directions, some going to their rooms, and others going into the hanger to prepare for the morning.

Bit waited until everyone had left, then quietly made his way to Leena's room. She had begun to hide her snacks in there, since he got to them everywhere else. He knocked on the door, making sure Leena wasn't inside, then walked in.

He quietly chucked to himself as he spotted a box of peanut putter cookies on Leena's desk. Picking them up, he quickly hid them in his jacket, and ran out of the room and into his own. He locked to door, and began to devour the delicious snacks.

*****************************

The Sky Runner stopped in front of a large shed, and Rei jumped out, motioning for Rain and LightStrike to follow. They did, and stood, waiting for him to open the door.

"Well, here we are..." Rei said removing a card-key from his pocket, "Let me begin by saying, you may use anything you want."

"What do you mean?" Rain asked as Rei swiped the key through the slot. She gasped as the door opened, starring at all the zoid parts the were stuffed inside.
