Some humor will actually be in this chapter, cause once again, I can't leave this too serious for too long. I'm sorry that this took longer than I said it would. I've been busy racing my friend in FF7. She's 15 hours ahead of me. Oh well.

Disclaimer: See first chapter.

Bit stood again in complete darkness. He knew what came next.

"I know you're here, so just come out already," he said.

"I thought you didn't like me," said the other Bit.

"I don't, but it's better than being alone."

"Well Bit, once again everyone around you is in danger and it's all your fault."

"Don't you think I know that? I am you aren't I?"

"You catch on quickly."

"Could you tell me who the guy is who's trying to kill us?"

"Not yet."

"So you do know."

"I may, but it's not time. You don't fully understand this incident yet. When you do, then I'll tell you."

"But how can you know and I can't. You and I are one, aren't we? You keep saying you're me."

"Once again, you'll have to wait to find out. On another subject, I see that you've regained most of your memories."

"Yeah...wait...if I'm talking to you and you're me, then I'm talking to myself. Does that mean I'm going insane?" The other Bit just smirked.

"Maybe," he stated.

"You're way too mean to be me, and yet you are me."

"Maybe you just shouldn't think about that anymore. What were you going to say?"

"Well, now that I have my memories, I'm kind of wishing I hadn't found them. If I hadn't gone to New Hope, then maybe that guy wouldn't have found me...but, then I wouldn't have met Clark and Lance for the second time."

"Do you remember them?"

"Kind of. It's still a little blurry, but I remember them being my friends."

"They were indeed your friends. It's actually a miracle that they're still alive, since their parents were killed in the fire at New Hope."

"I feel really bad about that."

"You should. It is your fault."

"Well, it's your fault too."

"Touché. I guess I can't fool you now, can I?"

"Guess not."

"I'll see you again later. It's almost morning."

******

"Good morning everybody," said a very cheerful Kahimi. Everyone was sitting at the breakfast table, eating pancakes.

"You seem cheerful this morning," said Bit.

"Yeah. Hey, has anyone seen Lance?"

"Yeah. He left a few minutes ago. I think he said he was going to go fix up his zoid, something about not trusting the repair shop."

"WHAT THE-?" yelled a very angry Lance from the hanger. He was loud enough for all of them to hear. They all quickly got up ran towards the hanger. They found him staring at his zoid. Upon arriving, they found out why. All of the guns had been removed and were now spread out on the hanger floor. The cockpit was open and wires seemed to have been pulled out.

"What a mess," said Bit. Lance seemed very agitated.

"My Dark Spiner! It's been demolished!" he yelled.

"I'll say," said Leena.

"Whoa, tough break Lance," said Kahimi. "Well, I guess you guys have no choice but to put me in the battle instead." Lance straitened up at hearing the cheerful tone in Kahimi's voice. She realized then that she had made a big mistake. He turned to her and he seemed angry. Kahimi took a step back, a little afraid.

"Kahimi!" he said angrily.

"Uh oh. What'd I do?"

"Don't play with me! Come here!" He began to chase Kahimi around the hanger. The others just watched.

"Lance! I'm injured! You can't hurt an injured person! And I'm your sister!" yelled Kahimi as she ran.

"I don't care if you are my sister! You're gonna get it if I catch you!" They soon ran out of the hanger, leaving everyone else standing there.

"I guess we should fix up his zoid," said Jamie.

"Yeah," agreed the rest of them.

******

A few hours later, everyone was done working on Lance's zoid and they were now all sitting around the TV. Lance had never caught Kahimi, but now he was missing.

"Where's Lance?" asked Bit. "That battle is in an hour. We'll have to get ready soon."

"I don't know," answered Kahimi. They all sat there for a while. Suddenly, Lance came running out into the room. He seemed angry. Kahimi sunk into her chair.

"Hey Lance. Where've you been?" asked Leena.

"Someone," he said as he shot Kahimi a death glare, "tried to lock me in my room. It took me nearly an hour to pick that lock." They all looked to Kahimi.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I just want to go into battle."

"But you're injured," stated Jamie.

"I know that, but I hate being on the sidelines. What fun is it to be a cheerleader while the rest of your team is battling."

"You can't always have fun," said Lance.

"I know that, but you're injured too and you can go into battle. Why not me?"

"Need I remind you which one of us got shot?"

"No."

"Then will you please stop trying to keep me out of this battle?"

"Okay." She got up and walked away from the room.

******

The Blitz team arrived at the battlefield right on time.

"Alright team, we've arrived," said Doc. They all mobilized their zoids and were soon out on the battlefield, where their opponents awaited them. Doc and Kahimi sat in the controls room of the Hover Cargo. Kahimi looked bored out of her mind as she sat in the chair that Jamie normally sat in. She just stared out the window at the two teams.

"How boring. I hope this battle will be interesting," she said to herself. She turned around to look at Doc, who was busy playing with his models.

"Huh? Did you say something?" he asked her.

"No, nothing." She turned back to the battle that was about to begin. The judge capsule landed and opened, revealing the white judge.

"The area within a 15 mile radius is a designated Zoid battle field. This zone is now restricted. Only competitors and personnel have authorized entry. Danger. All others must leave the area at once. Area scanned, battlefield set up. The Blitz team vs. the Raiders team. Battle mode 0982. Ready! Fight!" said the judge.

"Okay, this should be easy," said Bit. They hadn't even charged in when the sound of gunfire could be heard. The judge capsule went up in a huge explosion.

"What's going on?" asked Leena in shock. They then heard the loud roar of a familiar zoid. Both teams turned to look at one of the most powerful zoids around.

"The Geno Breaker," said Lance. The pilot of the Geno Breaker laughed to himself. He brought up a com-link with the Blitz team.

"Greetings," he said. "So we meet again."

"What do you want?" yelled Bit angrily.

"I came to have a little fun, but first, I need to take care of any and all distractions." The com-link went off. The Geno Breaker shot at the zoids from the Raiders team. He then charged the rest, taking them out easily. He then reopened the com-link. "Well, now that that's over, how about we move to a more open area for our battle. It's only a few miles away."

"Why should we go with you?" asked Jamie.

"Because you'll never find out who I am if you don't, and besides, I'd like to challenge all of you to a zoid battle."

"What's in it for us?" asked Brad.

"If you guys win, I'll let you live. How about that? You're either in or you're out, and if you're out, then I'll destroy you right here and now like I did them." He smirked to himself. This was indeed fun for him.

"We'll go," said Lance. None of them seemed to disagree with his decision.

"Good. Follow me." He turned off the com-link. "Good. This'll be fun. I'll give them a good scare and perhaps even pick off one or two of them. This'll be easy. There's no way they can escape this time. There's no one to save them."

**************************************************************************** ********************

Short, yes, but I have an idea for the next chapter too. I think I do anyway. It's homecoming week at school and I'm in marching band. We have to be to school early on Thursday, 6:30 to be exact. It really sucks, since school doesn't even start until 7:50. We need the practice though. It'll take a miracle to make us look perfect by Friday. Oh well, I hope you liked this chapter. Don't forget to REVIEW! Audi^.^
