Well, I seem to have gotten way more reviews than I had expected, and since I'm bored out of my mind right now, and also incredibly bouncy, I'm gonna write some stuff. I should be playing FF7, since I could go beat it anytime I want, but I kinda don't feel like it.

Disclaimer: See first chapter.

Kahimi's Storm Sworder flew towards the battling zoids. The Geno Breaker was beginning to overpower them. They were all thrown away from it as it jumped up and back, away from them.

"Fools. There's no way you can win against me," said its pilot.

"Just shut up already!" shouted Bit. All of them were getting sick of him talking. The man smiled to himself as he looked into the sky.

"Looks like the little birdie decided to join us after all. Guess she can't resist a good fight."

"What?" asked Bit.

"What's he talking about?" asked Leena in confusion. They all looked behind them and saw the familiar form of a Storm Sworder.

"What is she thinking?!" shouted Lance. He brought up a com-link with her and what he saw only made him worry more. She was in horrible shape. "Darn it Kahimi! What do you think you're doing out here?" he shouted at her. Her features tightened and she seemed serious this time.

"I'm here to help you fight him."

"Get back to the hover cargo now!"

"NO!" she yelled. He seemed a little afraid now, and a little hurt as well.

"What?" he asked. 'She's never been like this before.'

"You heard me, I said no! I'm sick of you always telling me what to do! You're not dad and you're definitely not mom!" She had tears in her eyes.

"Kahimi..."

"Just shut up! I'm staying, whether you like it or not!" Lance didn't say anything. He averted his eyes and looked to the controls.

"Fine, do what you want," he said in a low and quiet voice. "I don't care. Go, go ahead and get yourself killed, it makes no difference to me!" The Blitz team heard it all, everything they had said.

"Fine!" yelled Kahimi back. And with that, their conversation ended. The pilot of the Geno Breaker began to laugh.

"This is too great! The brother and the sister are fighting each other!" He found great amusement in this. This was about all Bit could take.

"That's it," said Bit quietly. The man stopped laughing. "I'm sick of your talking, and I'm sick of you."

"What are you going to do?" taunted the man.

"I'll kill you if I have to."

"What makes you think you can do that? You can't beat me."

"That may be, but I'm not alone. Together, we can beat you."

"That's right Bit. I'm right behind you," encouraged Leena.

"Don't forget about me," said Brad.

"I'm not leaving either," said Jamie.

"I guess I'm in too," said Lance.

"I'm staying as well," joined Kahimi. They all grouped together, standing in a nice line with the Raynos and Storm Sworder above.

"You think you can win, think again." He charged at the zoids, colliding with them. They all toppled over, but were soon back on their feet.

"You guys alright?" asked Jamie.

"Yeah, we're fine," answered Bit. The Geno Breaker's clamps went down again and the cannon came out.

"Oh great," said Leena.

"We have to dodge it," said Brad.

"Why not just attack?" asked Jamie.

"We're too far away," answered Leena. "Wait...let's try this. Weasel Unit Total Assault!" All her guns fired at once, letting off a barrage of missiles. The man smiled.

"You'll have to do better than that," he said. The Geno Breaker began to hover and moved back just as the missiles came down.

"Darn it!" said Leena. The charged particle beam fired strait at them. They jumped out of the way just in time, but they forgot one very important thing. The Geno Breaker could turn. The beam began to move sideways as the Geno Breaker spun. It was going towards Leena and Brad.

"Hey you guys, get out of the way!" yelled Bit.

"We're trying," said Leena.

"You try running from this thing," said Brad. The beam was getting closer.

"Darn it," said Bit. "Let's get him now Liger!" Liger roared in approval as he took off at a run towards the Geno Breaker. The man was too busy laughing to notice the approaching white zoid. "Strike Laser Claw!" yelled Bit. The Liger's claws were about to take off the arm of the black zoid, but it moved to the side, the attack only grazing the armor a little. The beam stopped and the black zoid jumped back a few yards, away from them.

"So, I guess I underestimated them." The cockpit opened to his zoid and he stood up, the cloak still covering his features. The wind blew outside, causing the cloak to sway. The others all got out of their zoids as well, their com-links still connected, allowing them to hear every word that was said.

"Well now, wasn't that fun?" he asked in the same cocky tone. "I have to say I enjoyed playing with all of you, especially you, Bit."

"Just shut up."

"Why should I? Are you going to shoot me or something?"

"..."

"I didn't think so. I think I'll let you all live for now, but I'm not giving up. You will all die." He was about to turn around and sit in the seat of the cockpit, but he was distracted.

"Tell us you name," demanded Bit. The man turned back around and looked to him.

"What's it to you?"

"Just tell me!"

"Fine. It's Zane."

"What, no last name?"

"What do you need to know for anyway? It won't mean a thing to any of you once you're all dead. I think I'll even kill you this time as well, Bit." He gave a tooth filled smirk. The wind blew his hood to his cloak off, revealing his smirking face. His eyes were a dark blue and greenish color and his hair was a mix of both blond and brown. It was spiked in some places and hung down in others. He was taller than Bit, but not by much.

"I will be back. Mark my words. None of you will live past that horrid day. This, I promise." He got back in and the hatch closed. The black zoid roared once, and then took off at full speed, using its boosters. They all just stood there, watching as he left.

"Is it just me, or does that guy look sort of familiar?" asked Leena.

"I agree. He did seem familiar," said Jamie.

'I've seen that guy somewhere before,' thought Lance. 'But where?' They all got back in their zoids and headed off to the approaching, yet damaged, hover cargo. All of them kept their thoughts to themselves, not wanting to be the first to break the uneasy silence between them.

'Who was that guy?' thought Bit to himself. They all had their com-links off now. Kahimi felt bad about yelling at Lance. She opened a com-link with him.

"Hey, Lance?" she asked quietly.

"What do you want?" he asked coldly.

"Please, I'm sorry Lance. I didn't mean to yell at you like that, I was just."

"You were just what?" he asked in that same icy tone.

"I just wanted to help, that's all. I hate feeling left out and abandoned. I didn't want anything to happen to you guys, so I came to help out." Lance didn't say anything; he just looked at her, but then turned away. "I'm sorry about what I said, you know, about mom and dad."

"It's alright," he said. "I know I can't replace them, and I'm not trying to."

"Sorry."

"It's alright. I didn't mean what I said either. I don't know what I'd do if you were to die. Sorry," said Lance, in a much more sympathetic tone.

"It's fine. I knew you didn't mean it. Who was that guy though?"

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out."

"And I'll help you."

"Sounds good." Little did they know that Bit and Leena had had up their com-links. They turned them off short after the conversation ended.

"It's good to see that they're not mad at each other anymore," said Leena.

"Yeah," said Bit. He seemed distant.

"You alright?"

"I'm fine," lied Bit. They all soon met up with Doc and loaded their zoids into the hover cargo. They then headed back towards the Blitz team's base.
