Disclaimer: Don't own anybody 'cept for my characters, their zoids, and their organoids. Enjoy!

Dedicated to all the people out there who reviewed the prequel to this! This fic belongs to all of you! OC's received BEFORE the revamping of both this and the prequel have been included...So newcomers, don't be surprised.

Chapt. 1: "And that, my friends..."

It was a bright and sunny day, the day after Dr. Toros' Birthday. A Hover Cargo crawled onto the sandy shores of the beach. For Dr. Toros had kept his promise (made in the prequel), and treated all those who'd attended to an outing at the beach. Following the HC were 2 Whale Kings, which descended near it. All the various vehicles ground to a halt, and the teams came pouring out...

"Wa-hoooooooo!" Bit let out a wild whoop as he belly-flopped into the ocean, clothes, shoes, and all. Jamie blanched. "Bit! Your clothes!"

Water sparked everywhere as Bit came up and shook his head like a wet dog. He had a giddy grin on his face. "What about them?"

"You haven't changed out of them yet!"

Bit's smile faded. "Oh..."

Harry paraded past, carrying a huge umbrella. "Hey, Leena, wanna share a spot with me?"

"Harry, you're a loser." Leena sauntered back to change clothes. Harry was too lovestruck to notice that he'd just been given the cold shoulder, and he grinned. "Thank you!"

The fun lasted for about an hour, then...

BOOM!

...The sky cracked open and rain fell in sheets—which really is a bad thing if you didn't notice the clouds gathering beforehand. Everyone froze until Toros ran to the door of the Hover Cargo and waved for them to get inside. They all ran back to their vehicles, except for Harry, who was too busy getting a tan to notice...

"...Hey..." Harry sat up and peeled off his sleep visor. "...Where is everyone going...?"

Inside the Hover Cargo, everyone had changed out of their wet clothes and gathered in the main room. Leena was fuming. "I can't believe this is happening!" she wailed. Her brother nodded in agreement. "I can't believe it's raining!"

"I can't believe Harry's still out there!" Bit cried as he pointed out the window.

Just then, the phone rang.

Everybody looked at it.

"Uh..."

"Maybe it's a wrong number...?"

"IT'S THE CHAINSAW MAN!"

Everyone gave Leena weird looks. Toros sighed as he ambled over. "I'll get it...Hello?"

The person on the other end of the line cleared his throat gently. "Hey there! This is the Lemurian Dream Vacation Association! Do you have enough money for a vacation? Do have any money at all? Is it raining? Are you a disappointed father? Is your name Steve Toros?"

Toros almost dropped the receiver. "Wha...?"

"If you have said 'yes' to any of these, give us a call!" the guy said happily. "Our number is 666-H-C-S-T-I-N-X. See you there!" Then there was a click and a dial tone. Toros put the receiver down.

"...Sounds good! We'll take it!"

In an as-of-yet-unknown place...

Mel, who was merged with CF, gave Loki a high-five. "Yeah-hah! This'll be cool!"

Loki grinned as he put down the phone. "Heh-heh...Seighart, you know what to do!"

"Right on!" The Element Master waved her hands. The clouds swirled and dissipated, and the sun shone down...revealing a white-sand beach with a crashing, crystal blue surf and a palm tree here and there. Think sparkly.

"Yeah!" Tanner grabbed her surfboard. "Surf's up, dudes!"

Everybody else cheered and followed her down to the beach, leaving Mel, Silvana, and Loki behind. Silvana coughed. "Everything is in order, I presume?" she inquired with an arch of her eyebrow. Mel winked. "Keep your scales on! Ya heard him! He said he'd take it!"

The phone rang. Mel picked it up. "Hello...? Yes...M-hm...How many people...? Yeah, sure...Be there in a flash! Later, Mr. Toros!"

Back in the Hover Cargo, everyone was staring at Doc as he replaced the receiver. Jamie cleared his throat. "Hey, Doc, what was that all about?"

"I asked some people to pick us up! Kids, we're going on an island adventure! YAY!"

Everybody else was silent. And then Brad exploded.

"HOW COULD YOU! THE CASH FROM MY LAST PAYCHECK—" He trailed off into a scream. Jamie wailed, "AAAAUUURGH! DOC!"

"Calm down, people, this whole thing is for free!"

Everybody else calmed down and blinked. "Huh...?"

Suddenly, a huge glowing blue hole appeared in the ground which the cargo units were sitting on. Everybody started screaming again.

"Argh! What is this?"

"Some kinda sinkhole...!"

"ACK! We're goin' in!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—!"

The sinkhole vanished with them, cutting off their screams. But in Harry's Whale King, the same thing was happening...

"AIIIIEE!"

"NOOOO! SOMEBODY SAVE ME!" Mary squealed.

"TOO LATE!" Sebastian moaned. "WE'RE DONE FOR!"

"LEEEEE-NAAAAAAA—"

The sinkhole vanished.

In the former BDG members' Whale King...

"O-kaaaay..." Pierce sighed and rolled her eyes. "We're all gonna die."

"All good things must come to an end, I suppose."

Stoller rubbed his chin and nodded solemnly. "It was very nice knowing the others, don't you agree?"

They all nodded. The sinkhole sucked them up.

And a really long time before any of them were born, the Ultra Saurus from CC and GF was wading through the ocean...

Red lights began flashing. A voice on the intercom barked, "Red alert! Red alert! All able-bodied men report to the deck immediately! This is not a drill! Repeat—this is NOT a drill!"

Van ran up to the deck. "What's going on!"

"I'm getting a very high electrical energy reading!" Dr. D yelled over the tumult.

Suddenly, fields of blue light appeared and engulfed a few characters...Rudolph blinked. "Hey, where'd they go...?"

At that same moment, in the desert, a Geno Breaker found itself facing off with a couple of bandits. Raven was sneering at them. "Hmph! You really think you can take me down that easily, do you?"

"Bring it on!" one of the bandits challenged, tensing up his Command Wolf. The Geno Breaker shook itself and charged.

"DIE!"

There was a flash of blue. When the light cleared, the GB had vanished. The lead bandit rubbed his eyes in astonishment. "What the...Where'd he go? What happened...?"

"We beat him!" another bandit chortled. "Yay!"

The name of the unknown place is Lemuria...So in Lemuria, bubbles of blue light appeared and deposited the GF characters onto the ground. Blue rectangles also appeared, floating in mid-air, and deposited the NC0 characters.

"Ow..." Van was rubbing his rump as he got up. Pierce shaded her eyes and looked around. "Where are we...?"

They all stood up. Raven and Van saw each other.

"YOU! YAAAAAAAGH!" They charged at each other with maniac yells, but tripped over nothing and fell sideways. Raven was twitching. "Grrr...What the heck...!"

"AGH! I - can't - move...!" Van choked.

Like an angel with horns, Mel appeared seemingly out of nowhere. "Calm down, kids. You won't be able to move for a while..."

Van and Raven forgot each other. "KIDS! WHY, YOU...!"

Mel sighed and continued, "The static from the plasmic compound we used to transport you has paralyzed you temporarily. It shall be a matter of time before your stimuli can react properly to your kinetic actions."

Everyone else blinked.

"...In other words, you have to wait or risk strutting around like a demented chicken."

A wave crashed down onto the beach. Tanner hopped down from her surfboard. "Did someone say...chicken...?" she asked with an evil grin.

"You want a chicken? Go find Loki!"

Tanner smiled and shook her head. "No thanks. Besides," she began, pausing to grin evilly at Harry, "there are bigger chickens to eat around here..."

"See if you can move now," Mel muttered to them. Van got up slowly and flexed his arms. "...Yes! I can move again!"

"Hmpf. At least I don't need to flex my muscles to show people that," Raven snorted disdainfully.

"Where exactly are we, Miss...?"

Mel grabbed O'Connell's hand and shook it. "The name's Mel. Great t'meetcha. This here island's called Lemuria." She walked off, motioning for all of them to follow her. "Come along now. There are other people you have to meet."

After everybody had gotten acquainted...

"Wow, you're the legendary Van Flyheight?(1)" Bit whistled with admiration. "I've heard stories about you...You were awesome back in the War!"

"Legendary? I'm a pretty good pilot, but...legendary?" Van almost blushed.

"...So you think your Geno Saurer-type zoids are a match for mine?" Raven asked Ice Dragon and Seighart. Both girls grinned. Icey laughed. "Well, duh!"

"Of course," Seighart chimed in with a smirk as she stroked Dracunis' head. "Why, my Organoid Dracunis can take your puny black lump of coal on anytime!"

Dracunis and Shadow growled at each other. They weren't really in the mood to fight...

Maelgwyn was showing Thomas and Jamie the Internet. "And this," he concluded, pushing a few buttons, "is how you send an e-mail."

"Very interesting...," Thomas murmured. Jamie peered over Maelgwyn's other shoulder. "Is there anything on zoids?"

"Of course!" A few seconds later, the screen displayed an RPG Zoids website for them. Thomas' eyes widened. "Wow...look at all those weapons!"

"Ooh, a Pteras!"

Kali sidled over, fluttering her eyelashes. "Oh, Thomas, can you teach me about computers?"

"Well, I..."

"Oh, please, Thomas...Please...?"

Thomas swallowed. He had never been too comfortable around women. "Ummm..."

Loki whistled and clapped for attention. "Okay, everyone, settle down now!"

Mel took the stage. "Welcome to Lemuria, everyone! You all know my name. It is my pleasant duty to inform you of what you are all doing here."

Harry grunted and folded his arms. "About time!" he grumbled. Silvana shot him a frosty glance. "I heard that!"

"It is also my unpleasant duty to inform you of what you are doing here."

Karl raised his hand. "Didn't you say that already?"

"There are 2 sides to everything, a good side and a bad side. Get my drift?"

"Um...No."

"So that there will be less probs, let's all go out, shall we?"

Once they were outside, Mel found a rock to clamber on, and now she sat looking down at the audience. She held up a finger. "Lemuria is a veryveryveryveryvery freaky place, people. All sorts of freaky things live here."

Raven smirked as he eyed the dragons (Mel and Silvana) and Loki and his wings. "Oh, gee, I wonder what...?"

"LIKE THAT!" Loki yelped and ducked low. "DUUUUUCK!"

A shadow soared overhead. Mary took a peek from beneath her hat. "It's beautiful!"

"What IS it!"

The thing alighted on a nearby knoll. Now they could see that it was a huge, golden bird, like a giant eagle. Mel looked a bit unsettled. "Erhm...That, my friends, was a roc."

"Rocks don't fly!" Bit argued.

"Look, dummy, THIS type of roc is spelled R-O-C. Not the rocks we're standing on," Silvana growled.

"A roc is a HUGE eagle. Be careful. You DO NOT wanna know what lives under the ocean."

At Mel's words, a shark fin the size of a sailboat rose out of the water about a hundred metres from the shore. Robert blinked. "Bad timing."

Mary fainted. Nobody bothered to try and catch her. Blackie snickered. "Bad timing, alright."

"And that, my friends, is a HUGE shark," Maelgwyn said, mimicking Mel. Everyone else could only nod in agreement.

TBC...AUAA...

(1)-Forgive me if the spelling of his last name is wrong...
