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

A few hours later at night, the Alpha team has already made it back to the base and were doing what they always did. Max was on the couch, watching some TV while Craig was in the kitchen, raiding the fridge and looking around to see if Anne's around. No one was around so he chomped on a PB&J and looked for milk. Layon was with Anne, who was looking at the Mystic Horse in his Whale King. He was planning to send it and the Iron Monkey along with the Black Dibison to the repair shop. He then spoke.

Layon: So, Anne. You feel like using the Mystic Horse full time.

Anne: .. I don't really think so. It's good and all, but I'm really more attatched to the Dibison. I'll use the Mystic Horse on another special occasion.

Layon: .. I guess so. Seeing something like this is like a privilage.

Anne: I guess so. So are you going to the repair shop again?

Layon: Maybe tomorrow. I have things to do, but in order to do that, I need Larry's permission.

Larry: .. And what is it?

Anne and Layon quickly turned their heads to the opening of the Whale King and found that Larry and Mary were there along with the Neo Warshark and their car. The young man walked up to Layon, who was still concerned about his pilot's family issue.

Layon: Are you alright?

Larry: I'm sure I'll be fine. The funeral's going to be soon and Mary and I are going to be there.

Layon: Are you sure? You did leave the family and all.

Larry: .. I'm there to pay my respects to one of the most succesful people in the family. And what did you want to ask me?

Layon: I was thinking about your Zoid and everyone else's in the S class and I was thinking if you want any modifications to your Zoid.

Larry: .. I like my SSS the way it is. But I'll tell you when the time comes.

Layon: .. Good to know that, Larry.

Larry: If you don't mind. I'm going to my room, I notice that Maria left.

And with that, Larry left the Whale King along with Mary. He walked into his room a few minutes later and found a note on the bed. Not knowing what it was about, he picked it up and started reading it. Later on, the Stealth Stormsworder took off into the skies and headed for the Blitz team's base.

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

The Stealth Stormsworder landed and Larry got out of the SSS's mouth. As he walked and knocked on the door, he read the note again. It mentions that Harry left because of something happening in the Blitz team's base. Ori opened the door.

Ori: Are you here for something?

Larry: .. Is this the Blitz team's base?

Ori: Yeah. Please come in.

Larry got in and found that someone the Hover Cargo was gone along with the Gunsniper, the Shadowfox and the Liger 01. The Raynos was missing and all that was left in the hanger was the Liger Zero itself. Larry walked into the other rooms with Ori following.

Ori: Hi. Who are you?

Larry: Larry Champ. You know where Leena is?

Ori: She's right in the computer room. Something about being forced to quit a match with the Gold team.

Larry: .. You know anything about Harry?

Ori: Not really. I heard he disappeared right after the Liger Zero got busted.

Larry: You know anything else?

Ori: That's all I know.

They then walked out of the hanger and walked into one of the rooms where Jacob was. He wasn't that badly injured but he was still injured. Jamie was in the kitchen, making somethings for the mercenary to eat for the match he had with the Alpha team.

Jamie: Hey, Ori. Hey, Larry.

Larry: Hey. You know where Leena is?

Jamie: Computer room, you can't miss it.

Larry left Ori and Jamie behind and walked over to the room where the computer was. Inside, Leena was sending a request to the ZBC that they forfeit the match with the Gold team. Larry then knocked on the door and came in the room.

Leena: Hey, Larry. Are you going to drop off Mary and Harry now?

Larry: The Champ base is going good. I don't think they're going to be staying here any longer.

Leena: .. You know. It was kinda nice having Harry here. But he disappeared suddenly.

Larry: .. Did you say anything to him about rejecting him for Bit?

Leena: What?

Larry: I heard that's why he ran away.

Leena: He ran away? I didn't say anything about rejecting him..... Maybe he overheard my conversation with Bit..

The more Leena talked, the more Larry started to understand what has happened. Bit was walking down, thinking about all the things that were happening ever since the incident at the Champs' base. Everytime he heard Larry talk about helping Harry with Leena, something inside Bit was growing and he didn't like it. Not only that, but he was still ticked at what happened to his Liger Zero. He then almost walked into the room with Leena and Larry, which is then he heard voices.

Leena: I guess that's why he did that.

Larry: This is a big mistake. I knew I should never've told him... Now the Liger's busted.. I feel like as though it's my fault.

Leena: .. It's not your fault..

Larry looked down, feeling bad for all the things that has happened yesterday. Something then caught his attention. He looked at the corner of his eye to see that Bit Cloud, which has obviously not come to him as a surprise. Somehow, Larry knew that Bit was about to snap any moment.

Larry: You heard the whole thing, did you?

Bit: Yeah. So it was you all the time, huh?

Larry: What do you mean?

Bit: You know what I mean. It's because of you that the Liger Zero is in bad shape. What were you thinking?

Larry: I wasn't trying to-

Bit: You thought busting my Liger Zero would help Leena get that gay-ass!

Larry: .. What did you say?..

Bit: You heard me. I called him a gay-ass.

Larry: Don't you talk about my family that way.

Leena: *What are you doing, Bit?*

Bit: You want me to spell it for you? G A Y A-

Bit didn't get to say anything else after that from the fact that Larry took his fist and threw it into Bit's face, causing him to fall onto the ground. The sudden impact has brought Jamie, Ori, Jacob and Brad to the room. He then realized what he has done and lowered his fist and his head.

Larry: I'm sorry.. But you don't deserve to say things like that about my family.

Bit: (wipes blood off his mouth) .. Believe me.. After what happened to my Zoid, I do have a right to say things like that to your cousin and everyone else in your money grabbin stuckup nose family.

Larry: (glares at Bit) .. Don't go there, Cloud. I care very much for my family and I won't take something like that lightly...

Bit: (blurted out) Tell that to your uncle!

The words that have escaped Bit's mouth has really gone overboard and pissed Larry off badly. He picked up Bit by his blue vest and stared into his face, then he shoved him to a nearby wall. Larry was about to stomp onto the blonde, but then a beep then came from the computer, catching Larry's eye. It had the schedule of what battles they had to fight. And ironically to the Champ, he found that their battle was next week at 1234. Without saying anything, he walked out of the place, got into his Stealth Stormsworder and took off. In the base, Brad helped Bit up, with his anger and his rage still holding on. Thinking that Larry told Harry to bust his Liger to get Leena, he decided to go to his room.

Leena: .. Bit..

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

The Stealth Stormsworder landed somewhere nearby as the mouth opened, Larry quickly got out and sat on the foot of the aerial Zoid's foot. He then looked into the sky and noticed how bright the 2 moons were. He then dailed on his cell to give someone a call.

Larry: .. Max? .. Tell Layon I'm coming home late.. I'm busy.

The young Champ then hung up and placed the phone back into his pocket. He looked up into the skies again as his eyes slowly closed. A few hours later, his eyes opened and find someone looking at him. Just looking at her gave him memories of the Backdraft. Without even being surprised, he got up. As the 2 moons shined blue through the desert, he began to speak.

Larry: What are you doing here, Serpentine?

Serpentine: I think I should be asking the same thing to YOU, Larry.

Larry: .. (sits away from her) .. I decided to spend some time for myself.

Serpentine: ... Larry, you'll never change.

Larry: ... I thought you were in jail?

Serpentine: .. I quit before the Fury incident. I've been looking around for a job for over a month now.. Things aren't looking so good, huh?

Larry: .. You know about the death?

Serpentine: ... (nods)

Larry: ... Things aren't going so good for Harry either.

Serpentine: .. Don't tell me he's still after her, is he?

Larry: Because of this, he jammed the Liger Zero and ran away. I feel like it's my responsibility. I got him into this and the only way out is to go to the other side. It's just like running a race.

Serpentine: .. And if he doesn't get the girl?

Larry: .... I don't even want to think about it. (looks at the SF2 nearby) So that's the secret family Zoid that they've recently been making?

Serpentine: That's the Shadowfox 2. It's bigger than the original and is black and blue with silver claws and teeth.

Larry: .. Nothing else made to it?

Serpentine: ... They were about to put more into it, but that was when.. they struck...

(flashback)

Serpentine was walking down the streets of Champ city. She was about to go into the corperation, which is where her uncle is, knowing that it was the nearest place. But before she made a move explosions came into the city. A Golden Liger with ion boosters and buster blades and was destroying every single building possible.

Serpentine: *Oh no. I gotta warn him fast.*

She then ran into the nearest entrance, which happened to be the lab. As soon as she ran in, she found the scientists were working on the Shadowfox 2. Having no choice, she decided that she'll take the Zoid and fight the 2.

scientist: What are you doing here? You could get hurt.

Serpentine:I need that Zoid. A Lightning Saix is destroying the city.

scientist2: (runs in) She's right! They're over there.

scientist: Damnit! They're probably here for the Zoids and the money.

Without anytime and without any permission, she quickly ran into the Shadowfox 2's cockpit and it activated. The hanger door was open, so it easily ran out, but that was when she found the Golden Liger looking at her.

Jason: (pops up) Not so fast.

Serpentine: .. Jason.. I thought you were in prison.

Jason: We have our ways. Nice looking Shadowfox. It would be a great addition to the Backdraft Genesis.

Serpentine: You're in Genesis?

Jason: That's right. How do you think I burn this place down in seconds?

Serpentine: .... There's no way I'm going to do the same mistake again.

Jason: You don't have much of a choice. Join us again, or we burn your city down!..

Serpentine was in a tight spot. She was facing a Backdraft member. But not only is he a Backdraft member, he's a Genesis member. She was scared and she didnt' know what to do. So she blew a smokescreen and jumped back and ran away, knowing that the Liger pounced in the exact spot. Edylg then escaped on the Diloforce with sacs of money from the side of the building and jumped on the middle of the streets while staring at the building.

Edylg: You're invited to my BBQ!

The Diloforce tried to shake off Edylg, who then punched the controls, forcing it to activate the charged particle cannon. As the Shadowfox ran out of the scene in fear, a giant beam ran through the building and ran across the field. Inside, Serpentine was just feeling miserable.

(end flashback)

Larry: .. Genesis.. The ones who did it were Genesis? I'm going to make sure they pay. No one messes with the Champs no matter what.

Serpentine: .. Not all Backdraft members are bad.

Larry: ... Him?

Serpentine didn't say anything, which has automatically given Larry a hint. The both of them looked up into the two moons that were floating above the sky. The sight looked so peaceful for the both of them, but then Serpentine spoke.

Serpentine: Remember the day we both ran away to join the Backdraft?

Larry: .. Yeah.. I never knew that something stupid like that could change our lives forever.. We used to be troublemakers, but we realized how wrong it was..

Serpentine: We're contributing to the problem of stealing other people's property and wrecklessly hurting people.

Larry: .. We may not believe in those warrior rights like the other pilots around, but we do believe in what's right for our family.

Serpentine: .. We should make a vow.

Larry: ... To protect the Champs.

Serpentine: And those who are mistreated..

Larry: (sits down).. I don't know what you do nowadays, but how about staying with Mary in the Champ base?

Serpentine: .. I'm not sure if she'll accept me.

Larry: It took a while for her to accept me, also... For now... (lies down) I need some sleep...

And with that, Larry fell asleep with Serpentine looking down at him. She decided to lay down next to him as she drifted off to sleep as well. They have made a vow to protect those they care about and they hope to stick to it. Before Serpentine slept another second, she whispered out.

Serpentine: (whisper) Sleep well, cousin... But no matter what you think... I know he has a heart...
