Kashie was resting on his bed, waiting for the headaches he was recieving to go away, when he heard a knock at his chamber door. He was a too tired and troubled to answer it.

"Kashie?"

This voice sounded vaguely familiar, so Kashie took the time to stand up. He looked at himself in the mirror before going to open up the door. His messy black hair showed signs that he wasn't in a good mood.

"Kashie, it's Bit."

Kashie sped up and ran to the door and quickly opened it. Sure enough, the tall blonde from the Blitz Team stood in front of him.

"What do you want?!" Kashie asked. Bit swallowed hard.

"I know where The Star Confederation is..." he murmured. Kashie was shocked.

"You do?! Where's it at!?" he asked.

"No, I'm not going to tell. I'm going to go in and get your sister back. Promise. But... I need a little bit of help. I--I can't exactly do it on my own... the security has me a little... well, stumped..." Bit replied. Kashie nodded.

"Aaaaai, I see what you want. Come on, to the console room. You need an engineer? Electronics major? Yeah?" Kashie asked.

"Err... yeah, kinda. Do you have a codemaster?" Bit asked. Kashie smirked.

"I'm the electronics major, yes, at 12. I'm not real good with codes, but I can sorta hack into the system. What do you need? We have members for every sort mission," he replied.

"A distraction," Bit answered.

"Ookay, and... one question. How did you find The Alliance?" Kashie asked.

"I took Runa's Zoid."


Bit followed Kashie into the console room, where they both sat down in front of the largest console in the room. Kashie pressed a button on the keyboard to trigger the screensaver off.

"A distraction, you say? I have the perfect warrior in mind... Dominik Jackson. Pilots a Blade Liger," Kashie answered. He typed in an ID # and a profile came up on the screen.


'DOMINIK ""DOM"" JACKSON'
ID #: 666667

Age: 18

Male

Next Step: DlX-4-Beta-I

Successful Missions: 106

Total Missions: 115

Bodyguard: ---

Team: ---

Members: ---

Status: Lone

Leader: Dominik Jackson

Zoid: Blade Liger

Upgrades: Unknown

Own Post: I'm Dominik. I'm used mostly as a distraction in missions. The only reason I've failed 9 out of 115 of my given missions is because my Blade Liger has been sabatoched (sp?). I'm open currently for missions. My room number is 099-X on floor 19.


"This is our man," Kashie replied. Bit finished reading the profile and nodded.

"Call him. I'm going to The Star Confederation right now. I'm bringing her back..." he said. Kashie was a little bit curious as to why he was so determined.

"Bit..." he started. "I have a suspicion... I dunno why, but you like Runa, huh?" Kashie found the tone of his voice being a little too nice. Bit stared blankly at the console screen.

"It depends on what you mean..." he replied.

"Nah, I already have my answer," Kashie said and smirked. He picked up the phone and dialed the number of Dominik's chambers. "You go. Since you're taking Midnight, I'll be able to find you."


At that moment, Ricky walked in. Bit and Kashie directed their attention to him, who had a bandage around the arm that Miyuki had shot.

"Where did you say Runa was...?" he asked, having heard the whole conversation. He sounded worried, wondering where his friend had gone.

"Ricky... um... well, it's... Runa's been napped by the enemy side, basically," Kashie replied. This angered Ricky.

"Where's my Rev Raptor!? I'll help you get her back!" he shouted. Kashie shook his head.

"You need to rest. You're bullet wound hasn't fully healed yet, Uli..." he replied.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Ricky shouted. Kashie bit his lip.

"Daaah... Ricky!" he answered.

"No, you called me Uli! Don't ever call me that! I HATE THAT!" Ricky shouted, clenching his fists and glaring at Kashie.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because... other reasons AND it sounds like Julie!" Ricky replied.

"So? Lewis's middle name is Rachel... well, if we bring that up, he pretty much skins us alive... so, eh... hehe. Yeah. And then there's this girl named Matthew who I called earlier to bring the Setsunakute Ii to The Alliance hangar..."


Just then, Mattie's figure appeared on the console screen. She was standing in the hangar next to the Setsunakute Ii, smiling.

"Is this the Zoid you wanted me to bring back? It fits the description pretty well, I think," she replied. Sure enough, she had done a perfect job. The Setsunakute Ii was brought back without a scratch.

"Yup. Now, just make sure that it's protected. I have a bad feeling that The Star Confederation is going to come looking for that thing. Set up a line of defenses," Kashie ordered.

"What?" Mattie asked, puzzled. "What are you talking about? What's The Star Confederation?" she asked again. Kashie began to type in another number on a separate console.

"No time to explain now, just do it! I know that I'm not in charge of defenses, but make sure that the people in charge of defenses know that we're going to be under attack pretty soon! I'm sure Jean will understand," Kashie replied, being smug as he mentioned Jean. The "king" of The Alliance had no decency in not explaining the enemy team. Why he was in charge, Kashie would never know or care. And for something besides the point, Ricky felt totally left out.

"You'd better bring Runa back!" Ricky replied before leaving to go back to his chambers to rest.

"Don't worry about that! We'll stop that stupid confederation from trying to do... whatever they're trying to do, and we'll bring Runa back...!" Kashie insured. Bit was a little surprised.

"Ya mean you don't even know what they're trying to do?" he asked.

"Well, no! The Main Man, Mr. Jean Pierre L'Petite," Kashie started, sounding snobby, "didn't tell us diddly squat about ANYTHING like an opponent or an enemy! We thought we had bagged this mission! All we're trying to do is just get the metals from the nearby planet Landar. I'm supposing that maybe they're trying to butt in and get it before we do... but this is really the first time that we've ever had trouble with them!"

"Well then, sounds serious. I'll call defenses, and you go do what you're going to do, Kashie. I'll talk to you soon," Mattie replied in her thick British voice, and then turned off the link. Kashie nodded to himself and quickly started typing in the room number 'F-19 : 099-X' . In a few moments, a figure appeared on the screen. He was lounging in his chambers, not doing much, apparently waiting for a call. Upon closer glances, one could tell that he had black hair, with golded bangs, and two different colored eyes--one silver, one brown. He was dressed for cold weather, it seemed, as he was in a long dark green shirt, black cargos, and black boots. He got up from his lounging position and up to the screen.

"Hello?" he asked in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"Hey, uh, you're Dominik Jackson, I'm guessing. This is the console master, Kashie Kirazuna. I have a mission for you, and it involves the rescuing of a fellow Alliance member," Kashie replied. Dominik cocked an eyebrow.

"Who?" he asked.

"My sister," Kashie answered.

"What?! You're kidding! Arunamei? How did she... but I thought that she was the--"

"Oh, she still is. But apparently, our boss never told us that we had an enemy. Runa found that out the hard way. Now it's up to us to get her back, and we're gonna go bitchin' to Mr. L'Petite. Are you in?" Kashie asked.

"Sure. Consoles, you say? I'll be in the hangar in ten minutes."

"Great."

"What, don't I get to come, too?"

Kashie and Bit both turned around to see Izumi standing in the doorway with D, Lewis, and Dalanette. Kashie bit his lip.

"No. You stay here. I'll call if we need help. The last thing we need is all of the Star Team being assassinated or something," Kashie replied. Izumi laughed.

"Hey, hey, who's team am I on? Certainly not the Star Team!" she replied. Chemuk barked at her side and ran circles around Kashie. "See, even Chemuk is up to going with me. She could sniff out ANYONE'S trail. Finding Runa will be a breeze, Kashie. Just give me a chance!" Izumi pleaded.

"Fine, but just you, Izumi. The rest of you... please, just stay here! I don't want a whole troop over at the confederation. It'll be too obvious!" Kashie said.

"Oh, but you know that I'll be calling to ask when we can come down there to steal some cakes!" D-chan spoke. Kashie sighed.

"Yes, D, I know..." he replied. "Come on, Bit, Izumi, let's go. We have to meet Dominik at the hangar in ten minutes." Kashie took a deep breath. "Didn't think I'd end up doing a mission like this... ever..."
