Phoenix:  Well since my sister has gone crazy that means I have to finish the story! *You can hear typing in the background* Crystal?

Jamie walked through the empty garage; the only other person he saw that was there was Doc.  While he was in the cockpit of the Raynos the little message thing beeped.

"I wonder who that could be?" He flipped it on, it was Brad.

'Hey Jamie!'

"Hi, where are you and is Leena there with you?"

'Yeah we decided that we should go to the old ruins in the Mali Mountains (Author's Note:  I just made that up!) We got some weird readings and decided to check it out.'

"Oh okay."

'And don't tell the new guy about this.'

"Okay, why?"

'Oh!  We found something, talk to you later' Beep!

*******

"Did he buy it?" Bit asked as Brad jumped out of the car.

"Totally."  The group walked off to where the zoids were.

******

Jamie sighed everyone was leaving him out.  He wanted to talk to someone but no one was there, there was Doc but he was probably playing with his toys.  He sighed and looked over to the doors.  He saw Jeff (Author's Note:  Streak!!) coming in.  Jamie jumped off his zoid and ran to him.

"Hey Jeff."  Jeff didn't say anything, so Jamie continued, "Well no one is here so I thought we should…"

Jeff cut him off, "Where are they?"

"There at some ruins…Oops!!" Jamie covered his mouth.  Jeff didn't seem to surprised.

"I have to go work on my zoid." Jeff said simply as he walked off.

"I guess I should start dinner." Jamie went towards the kitchen.  As soon as Jamie left Jeff/Streak jumped into his zoid and quietly walked out.

*******

"Genesis!!"  Ashley ran up to the zoid and tried to hug its leg.

"What do we do now?" Brad asked.  Everyone seemed in the dumps except for Leena and Ashley.  Leena was helping Ashley into the cockpit.  Ashley looked down, Leena and Ashley had sat down on Genesis' head to have a little chat.

"Why do they have to look so down?"  Leena asked, as she to looked down.

"Because they're party poopers!"  Ashley said as she put her hands on her hips.

"HEY!!"  Everyone looked up to the two women.  "How about some smiles!!!"

"Yeah, one little smile can fill the area with sunshine!!"  Everyone kinda had a little sweat dropped at Ashley's remark.  They continued their conversation.  Ashley and Leena caught little snippets of it.  Mostly it was about.  What to do next?

Ashley decided to give her advice to them once again, "You know the best ideas come after you think you've run out of them!!"

…Silence…

"See if I ever give you advice again!!"  Ashley threw her hands in the air.  "I give up."

"Where did you get all those fancy sayings?" Bit asked, the normal Ashley would never say anything like that, and no one anyone in the group right now.

Ashley scratched her head, "From a bag of chocolates.  You know the ones with the fancy sayings on the wrappers."

…Silence…

"Geez, tough crowd!" Leena said trying to help Ashley out.

"Yeah, tell me about WOOOOOOOAAAAAHHH!!!!!!"  Genesis suddenly started running towards the ruins, poor Ashley and Leena grabbed on whatever they can so they don't fall off.  Lyger followed Genesis.

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING!?!?!" Bit said as he ran to the jeep.

"They're leading us somewhere!!!" Leon caught up with him; everyone piled in the jeep and drove after the zoids quickly.

******

The zoids stopped at the entrance of the ruins.  Genesis lowered her head so it would be easier for the girls to get off.  Leena lost her grip to soon and fell off.

"AAAHHHHH!!!!" She had landed on her ankle.  Ashley came down a little slower, but when she got down she rushed over to Leena.  And immediately bent down to where Leena was clutching her ankle.

"Leena!!  Let me look at your ankle!  Come on you have to let go of it!"  Leena finally let go of it and Ashley examined it.  "Yep, it's sprained."  By that time the rest of the group caught up with them in the jeep.    Everyone jumped out; Bit ran to Leena and kneeled down next to her.

"What's wrong?" Bit said with a concerned voice.

"She sprained it, she fell off Genesis head too early."  Genesis moved her head down near them and let out a soft growl.

"No Genesis it's not your fault," Leena managed to say.  Ashley took one of the bandages of her arm and wrapped it around Leena's ankle.

"There." Ashley clapped her hands together.  Bit helped Leena sit up, while Ashley went over to Leon.  She was looking at him straight in the face but something behind him caught her attention.

"Leon, what's that?"  Leon looked behind him and focused.

"I don't know.  Let's wait until it gets closer."  The waited a few minutes.

"It's a black Command Wolf!!!" Brad yelled, "Everyone needs to hide!"

"We can't he's already spotted us!" Naomi shouted.

"How?"  Naomi pointed to Lyger and Genesis.  Everyone groaned.  By then the command wolf was right on top of them. The cockpit opened and (Author's Note:  You know who comes out.) Streak came out.

"Well look at we have here," Streak said with a sneer.  This sent a chill down everyone's back.  Bit stood in front of Leena so she won't get hurt.  Streak pulled out a gun and pointed it at Bit.  Everyone tensed.

"What do want from us!?!" Bit demanded.

"The same thing I wanted from your father!!  Files on the organoid part of the zoids."  Everyone looked confused; there was a deeper purpose.  "Now give them to me or you will die just like your father did!!!"

"You son of a…." BANG!!!! Everyone's eyes widened.  Blood started coming from Bit's arm as he clutched it.

Streak smiled a smile of pure evil, "Doesn't this seem all familiar."  Ashley couldn't take it anymore.  Bit and herself were reliving the whole thing, but this time they were older and had zoids.  She gritted her teeth and ran towards Streak hoping to tackle him.  But he pulled out another gone and pointed it at her.

"Not this time little girl," he pulled the trigger. Ashley fell to the ground.  She stared daggers at Streak before she went into blackness.

"NNNNNNOOOO!!!!" Leon shouted trying to hold back the tears.

"Now for you" RRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARR!!!! Streak looked up to Lyger and Genesis advancing on his command wolf.  He smiled, "I guess we'll finish this with a zoid battle."  He jumped into the wolf and mobilized.

Bit stood up still clutching his arm, "LYGER!!!!"  The Lyger bent down so that Bit can jump in.

"Bit you can't pilot Lyger while your injured!!!  And you might not come back!!!" Leena yelled from the spot she was sitting.

Bit was in the cockpit by now he looked down at Leena, "I'll come back."  The cockpit closed as Lyger ran for the wolf.

Leon ran over to Ashley, "Ashley please be alive!!"  He checked her pulse; he let out a sigh.  She had a pulse, but a very slow one.

"Brad, Naomi!!  Look after Leena and Ashley!!!" Leon rushed up to Genesis; Genesis moved her head towards him, like she was not sure what he wanted.

"Genesis!! I know that I'm not your pilot but if you don't let me pilot you Ashley will die!!!"  Genesis stood there for a few seconds trying to deicide what to do.  She bent down and opened the cockpit.

"Thank you." Leon jumped into Genesis.  The cockpit was similar to the one in his Blade Lyger, so he had no problems controlling Genesis, only because she was letting him control her.

*******

Bit wasn't having a great time, he hadn't received any damage or vice versa.  It was a stale mate.  He then realized something beeping on the screen.

"What's that?" On the screen was a computerized model of the Lyger.  There was a small red dot on its front right leg.  "You were never injured."  He then looked down at his arm.

"That can't be the reason…."

'Like father like son, as they always say."

"What are you talking about?"

Streak sneered, 'This is exactly what your father did.' Bit's blood began to boil. 'He got into his precious Lyger Zero and fought till he died.'

Bit was shocked, "Lyger are you the same zoid my dad owned."  Lyger growled softly.

'The same goes for that Ashley girl!  Her mother did the same thing!'  Lyger roared, but then they heard another roar.  Lyger turned his head to see Genesis running towards them.

"Ashley?"

"No, even better."

"LEON!!"

"Your front right leg is damaged, how is that possible?" Bit looked down at his right arm again.  He was wondering if there was a connection or maybe he was going crazy (Author's Note: Like ME!!).  He thought of his father and then the cockpit went pitch black…

Author's Note:  CLIFF HANGER!!!!!  Starting to go into ACTION!!!!  I hope you liked that chapter, I know some of you wouldn't like the part where Ashley got shot, but that' just how the story goes.  Please Review!!!
