Darkness reigned as I hid in a cold, clammy cave with my brother. He had a cold. Would he die underneath the death grip that you made for us, Bit? Will you pay? Oh, no, not the great fighter. You will soon be defeated like I sliced you when you took my new Zoid and my parents. I wanted to fight. I wanted to destroy you! But, Mother said that violence wasn't the key, unless you needed to. My mother didn't need to die! My father didn't need to either. I needed to find a proper home for Steel, but he wouldn't leave me. He was very smart for a kid of seven. I was only ten at the time, but I was very responsible. We soon found a floor for the cave, so we wouldn't catch a cold easily. Our backyard was filled with berries and people with meat and other thing we couldn't find in the wilderness of Zi. I would never starve us. You are a different story, Bit! I would tell you more, Bit, but it's time for the torturing that I shall make you feel . . .

Layon and the boy were walking out of the bar and were entering the alley, which led to the brighter, and safer, side of town. Layon was thinking about the boy who was following him.

'Who is that boy, and where did he come from? What will happen to the boy,' he thought as he walked out of the dank alley, with the fourteen year old boy following. The boy looked up at him with his emotionless, silver eyes.

"Where is the ZBC building from here? I'll go by myself, Layon. Nobody has touched me for four years. I'll need some time 'kay?"

Layon nodded and went to his small, but new, Gustav with a platform. He sat in the seat, closed the cockpit, laid back and fell asleep.

Meanwhile at the ZBC building . . .

"Damn, stop giving me papers! I all ready need the papers to create a team, sign myself up, and papers for my phone numbers! I don't need anymore!"

The ladies smiled and he growled at them, sending them back a few steps. He laughed at them, giving them shivers down their spines and they ran away, leaving him to read the first page and he filled it out.

Jaklar filled out the other papers and gave them to the ladies behind the counter.

"Have a nice evening ladies."

He walked out to find the people he least expected. It was Bit and the Blitz Team.

'Just walk by them,' he thought as he walked faster to get to the Gustav outside the gates. A boy two years older than him walked up to him.

"Hi there. It looks like you are going to start battling. I'm Jamie and those are my friends over there."

He soon saw the Blitz Team next to them. He closed his eyes, so he couldn't see Bit next to him. He felt his other side of him come out. It the side he hated the most. It was his dark side.

"Get off of me, losers! I have to be going. I'm not in the mood for your friendly antics! LAYON!!"

The sleeping Layon woke up from a dream with noodles. He heard the dark side yell for him. He turned on the Gustav, and made it move as fast as it could go. He soon found the assassin yelling profanities at Leena, who was telling him how cute he was.

"Black Knight, come on! Time for noodle shopping," said Layon as the Blitz Team saw the boy jump in and started to sweatdrop. Doc Toros looked at the retreating Gustav when he came out of the Zoids model store.

Jaklar looked at Layon and fell into the seat. Layon piloted the Gustav off into the direction of the Zoid Shop to get Jaklar a Zoid.

"Thanks, Layon. I went berserk back there. Hope they won't remember that."

He didn't say any thing for the rest of the trip.
