Bit, why do you deny the things that you did? 'I did not do them, Black Knight!' Let me see you back! It will show all. 'I won't. My back is plain and unscarred!' I don't care . . .You tore the remaining part of the once proud Nighthawk family away from me! Steel, my little brother, the only family I had. I loved him! 'What did I do?' You are an idiot, Bit Cloud. You head is in the sky, not thinking about the predicament you are in. I have you in my grasps, but your sweet Leena is still hiding! 'You are stooping to his level, the one who attacked! Find out the truth Jaklar, search for it! Don't let your eyes deceive you. I'm only four years older than you . . . I was in the Wind Colony, three hundred miles away! My mother died that night, of a great sickness!' No, you lie! I saw you, the blonde hair, and the crystal blue eyes, that smirk on your face! You were there . . . no you weren't! Tell me how to use a sword, Bit! That is how I will know!



Jaklar and Layon were riding to where to Zoid Shop was supposed to be. Jaklar was secretly looking at Layon.

'He kind of looks like my dad . . . No, don't think about them! They are dead! I hope we find this stupid Zoid Shop,' he thought as Layon opened up a map of the city. Jaklar grabbed the controls of the unpiloted Gustav and almost ran into the Zoid Shop they were looking for. Layon looked up from the map and said, "We're here, Black Knight! Get ready to get the perfect Zoid!"

Jaklar sweatdropped as Layon said that. He stood up as the cockpit opened up and he jumped out.



"Layon, call me Jaklar. Black Knight's my nickname."



They walked in the door to see the Blitz Team inside the shop, as well as the Flugal (spell?) Team. Jaklar looked past them and saw a very familiar face paying for a purple Shield Liger. The younger boy turned to face Jaklar and ran up to him.

"Jak, it's you! You were fighting with him and you were hurt. I took you to a hospital. They took me away, Jak! I don't want to leave you again."

The younger boy was Steel Nighthawk, Jaklar's brother. Layon was looking at weapons and then turned around to see a boy hugging Jaklar. He smiled.



'At least he won't be so depressing all the time. I don't think the Ancient fighter, Raven, was that bad!'



Steel took his brother's hand and ran to the Shield Liger that he just bought. It was a different Shield Liger than the others. Besides the purple color, it had a rotating gun on it's back, a long-range sniping gun, and a built in AI system. Jaklar noticed it had sharper claws than the normal Shield Ligers besides it.



"Big brother, look at that Zoid. It looks like the Hell's Dragon Knight!"

Jaklar looked at the Zoid his brother pointed out. It was a GunSniper-like Zoid with all of the legs more like the Lightning Siax's legs than a GunSniper's, two retractable wings, a new CAS, the Phoenix, some missile pods and a pair of blades on the head and the body. Jaklar smiled one of his cold smiles. It was the Hell's Dragon Knight, GunDragon, or Hell's Knight. He walked over to the man behind the counter.

"How much do you want for the GunDragon?"

"GunDragon? Oh, that thing? It's already sold to the Blitz Team."

Jaklar was ready to blow a fuse. The abomination bought his first Zoid. It was the one his father made for him! Steel went up to the area where the Blitz Team was standing and tugged one Leena's shirt.

"Excuse me, miss. That Zoid is my brother's. Mean people took him and. . .and WAAAAHHH!"

Leena looked at the smaller boy who busted into tears. Bit looked at her and the crying boy. Layon ran over to Steel and was trying to calm him down. Jaklar stood there, trying to stop himself from laughing.

"Steel! Come over here. I don't need the GunDragon; I'll get another Zoid, like that one over there. C'mon, shrimp, let's get your Zoid one to the platform 'kay?"

Steel looked at Jaklar and sniffled.

"Are you sure, Jak? * Sniff*Daddy made it for you! I thought you needed the GunDragon to remind you of Daddy and Mommy. * Sniff, sniff*"

Jaklar walked over to the Blitz Team, trying to keep the dark side at bay.

"I'm sorry. Steel hasn't seen me in a while. The GunDragon was mine before the attack."

Brad was standing in a corner, looking at Jaklar. He was remembering about the 'attack'.



"It was called the Nighthawk incident. Blade Nighthawk and his wife, Jade were killed by a Backdraft member who wanted the new Zoid he made for his sons, Steel and Jaklar 'Black Knight'. The sons were never found at the house. The scar on your face must mean that you are The Black Knight and you are Steel 'Thunder Blade'. You were an assassin last time I heard of you."



Jaklar walked up to Brad and smiled.

"Wanna find out why I'm called 'Black Knight'? If not, stay out of my life, mercenary. Like I always say, 'Battles are for the weak, but revenge is sweet.' Watch your back Brad Hunter, you may be my next victim."

Steel looked at Brad and frowned at him. He followed his brother over to his Liger. Jaklar walked up to the GunDragon, telling him to open for the knight, and the king is coming their way.
