Hi, I'm back and on a role! I just can't stop writing this and I think I've got a good idea for this chapter. More bad stuff happens and some good stuff, I guess. I can't really say, cause I only have an idea for this, not a plan. So as always, I think I'll wing it^.^

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids, just the characters I make.

Hours had passed since they had arrived and Kahimi still hadn't woken up yet. None of them felt like leaving the hospital. They all stayed in the same room. It was already dark out and everyone was getting hungry. Leena had run out quick to go get something for them to eat and hadn't returned just yet. Bit was leaning against a wall, Jamie sat in a chair next to him and Clark was on the other side of the room, doing what Bit was doing. Lance was sitting in a chair near the bed and it was easy to tell that he was suffering. His normally calm look was now filled with worry and his eyes seemed to just stare forward as if in a trance. The door then opened and Leena came in with pop, chips, and candy bars. Her hands were definitely full. She quickly handed Bit and Jamie their food.

"Thanks Leena," said Bit.

"Yeah, thanks," said Jamie. Leena just smiled to them and then walked over and gave some stuff to Clark.

"Appreciate it," he said. Leena smiled and then walked up behind Lance. She didn't think it would work, but it couldn't hurt to try.

"Hey, Lance?" she asked, but he didn't respond. "I brought some food. Want anything?" He still didn't say anything. Leena tapped him on the shoulder, startling him a little, but it did get his attention. He turned to her. "Here." She handed him the food.

"Thanks," he said.

"No problem." Leena walked over to the door and sat down in one of the chairs. They all ate in silence, none of them wanting to be the first to break it. They finished and another hour or so went by. It was already 10 o'clock. The door opened and a doctor walked in.

"I hate to disturb you, but it is getting late. You can all stay here for the night if you want. We can prepare a guest waiting room for all of you," she said. It was a different doctor this time.

"Thanks, we appreciate it," said Bit. She closed the door and walked off to prepare the room. In only 5 minutes, she returned and motioned for them to follow her. Lance followed reluctantly behind everyone else. There were five beds in the room and each of them lied down in one. They were all soon asleep.

The cold feeling of the darkness was almost welcoming and made Bit feel calm. It was incredibly silent, but for some reason, he liked it. Just then, he heard the familiar voice...his voice.

"You look comfortable," said the voice. Bit didn't turn around, since he knew who it was.

"What do you want now?" asked Bit in an annoyed tone.

"Why do you assume I want anything? I'm just here to help you."

"I never asked for your help."

"You blame yourself, don't you?" There was silence now. The way he had said it, he sounded like he was mocking him. Bit turned around and glared at this guy who looked like him...who was...him.

"What do you care?"

"Do you know why you dream like this Bit?"

"Because you like to annoy me?"

"What kind of people have conversations with themselves?"

"How should I know?"

"Because you're one of them." Bit was confused now, but the man who was said to be him just lowered his head, but held his stare with Bit. He smirked. "Face it Bit, you're loosing it."

"What?"

"You heard me, you're loosing it. You're on the brink of insanity and you know it, whether it shows in the real world or not, you can feel it. You want to snap, to let this go, but you're afraid of hurting even more. You don't care about them. All you want to do is end your own suffering."

"That's not true!"

"Face the facts Bit. I'm you and I know how you think. Why not let it all go. You know you want to."

"I can't leave my friends."

"This guy who attacked you and your friends won't stop for anything. None of you are safe Bit. Everyone you know is in danger and there's no way you can reach some of them in time."

"What do you mean?"

"You can't be everywhere at once Bit. You can't protect them all."

"Shut up!"

"I'm only stating what you, yourself, already know."

"I said shut up!"

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. Until next time." And with that, he faded out of the area and Bit was left alone in the darkness.

They all awoke the next morning to the sound of doctors running down the hall, wheeling a stretcher behind them. Then after it was gone, the same noise came again. They all got out of bed and walked out the door. The hospital's aura had changed again. It seemed panicked. Lance was still sleeping since he didn't get out of bed and Clark was off doing his own thing. That left Jamie, Bit, and Leena to do what they wanted. They walked towards the entrance area where the receptionist's desk was. What they found was a huge group of people standing around a television. From what the team could tell, the news was on. Then they found a very familiar person standing near the crowd.

"Brad?" they all asked. He turned to them, standing with his arms crossed. They walked up to him.

"What are you doing here?" asked Leena. Brad closed his eyes when he answered.

"I'm here to see Naomi," he answered.

"What?" asked Bit.

"Didn't you hear the news?" he asked. They all turned towards the TV and saw a well-dressed news lady. She seemed to be ready to repeat what she had said.

"I repeat, this just in. The Fluegel team's base was attacked early this morning. It burned to the ground from a fire. We're not quite sure how it started, but we're working on it. Both members, Naomi Fluegel and Leon Toros, were injured and quickly rushed to nearby New Hope city and strait to the hospital. That's all we know for now. We'll keep you updated. This is the ZBC news, signing out." Everyone who was standing around, mostly doctors, were gasping in shock and horror. Leena was on the verge of tears.

"Leon..." she said.

"Doc is here as well," said Brad. "He went to get something to eat, since they wouldn't let him follow them into the Emergency room."

"That must be what we heard this morning," said Jamie.

"How bad is it?" asked Bit to Brad. Brad shook his head.

"I'm not quite sure. I recently got here, but I did get a quick glance in."

"And?"

"It didn't look good. They're both in really bad shape." This shook Leena's composure even more and she began to cry this time. Bit quickly embraced her and she cried into his shoulder. Bit would have cried too, but he didn't think this was a good time to do that. 'This is all my fault,' said his mind and he knew it was right. He felt awful about all of this. His friends were suffering because of him. There was only one thing on his mind at the moment as he held Leena. Only one questioned played through his head and it worried him.

'Who's going to be next?'
