O and thanxz to OrangeGirlExplosion for correcting me itz Karl Shubaltz.

****************************************** It was about an hour ago when Dr. D arrived. He had come in and at being shown the tablets just sat there and starred at them.

"So. ummm, Dr. D?"

"Yea. "

"Well what do you make of it?"

"Uhhh. well I think this is the writing of the ancient Xions."

"Ummm.," said a confused Moonbay. "What exactly do you mean by that doc?"

Fiona then interrupted them, "The Xions were our worst enemy back in the day when our lives as ancient Zoidans were first being built up. They were easily defeated and they never showed up again."

"That's correct Fiona," said Dr. D. "They have nothing to do with the Zoid Eve except for the fact that they were the ones who discovered it in the first place.

"So basically this is of no value," said Steph.

"Precisely!"

"Sorry about that Dr. D."

"That's alright you didn't know! Although this may help us to find out what the Zoid Eve is. Maybe you could show us exactly where you found this?"

"Of course follow me."

They then began to walk out of the base. Van and Thomas were bickering as usual. Stephanie locked up the base and walked out. They all got in there Zoids and began to head east about three or four miles. "Well here we are Dr. D."

"What are you talking about?" said Moonbay. "There's nothing here."

"Sure there is don't you see it," said Dr. D. "It must have gotten buried by a sand storm, but you can definitely tell that there was a civilization here. Well who's volunteering to dig?"

"I will," said Steph.

"I'll help her," said Van.

Everyone relaxed for two or three hours while Van and Stephanie dug. They finally got down to some of the stone tablets too big to have moved that time so long ago. Irvine, Thomas, Fiona, Moonbay, and Dr. D began to grab everything as we lifted it up to them to pull out of the ditch we had dug.

Meanwhile Colonel Shubaltz got a call. "Go ahead your highness. Uh huh. I see. How many. 4. ok. and we will be in the middle. fancy, right. in three days, right. it starts at six. ok.we'll be there. no thank you. your highness." He then hung up.

They had just finished loading everything onto the Gusthave (?). "Ok everyone time to go," said a tired Dr. D.

"Who was that?" asked a curious Van.

"I'll explain when we get back to the base," said the Colonel.
