S.D. Hello, hello, hello, Steam Detective here. Knuckles: Which would make me Knuckles. Hey, do you have to say something different every time you start a new chapter? S.D. No, but I'm going to anyway. Sorry for taking so long to update but last week I was very busy. Knuckles: What about before last week? You updated in the last few days of Spring Break. S.D. I was enjoying my time off, thank you very much. Anyway thanks for reviewing everyone I'll try to update sooner, and for all of you who have been reading my commentary here at the beginnings and endings of the chapters would know that I have tried several times to make my story more readable: putting names in "( )", that didn't look to good, I've tried putting them in bold, underlining the names and putting three spaces in before they start talking, but each and every time I tried something new when I uploaded it to Fan Fiction.net it all disappeared, except for my first change but, like I said didn't like it but... Knuckles: 'Scuse me, Detective, while we're young. S.D. Huh? Oh yeah, enjoy the chapter.

Losing the Soul

Chapter 6: Of Lust and Love

Jamie pushed himself up from the sand and got to his feet. He looked around and it was dark again. Jamie: (To himself) "Must've been out for awhile, dark already." Jamie looked around again and saw Bit was standing a few feet in front of him. Jamie: "Bit!" Jamie ran up to him and Bit turned around. Jamie: "Bit, you're still here?" Bit: (Emotionless voice) "I have things to do Jamie and I can't have you getting in the way so stay out of it." Jamie: "Wha...? Look Bit I may not know what's going on but I will find out so you should just tell me." Layon: "Sorry but you're not included in this plan Jamie" Dr. Layon walked out of the darkness into view behind Bit "Bit c'mon, we've got things to do." Bit turned around and started walking with Dr. Layon into the darkness. Jamie: "Bit, wait!" Jamie started to run after him but was stopped by a figure that seemed to appear out of no where. Leon: "He's right Jamie just stay out of this." Jamie: "Leon?" Brad: "This isn't our concern." Jamie: "Brad, you too?!" John: "Let him go Jamie, there's nothing you can do." Jamie: "John? What are all of you doing here?! LET ME THROUGH!! BIT!!!"

Jamie quickly sat up with a gasp in a cold sweat, wide-eyed, mouth gaping open. He looked around and he appeared to be in the cockpit of his Raynos and by the position of the sun it appeared to be almost noon. He fell back against the seat. Jamie: "Just...a dream." Jamie didn't know exactly how he had gotten back into his Raynos but he knew he had ran into Bit before he passed out, his mind told him so, and so did his gut considering it still hurt from Bit punching it. Jamie: "Bit was talking with Dr. Layon before he left, I'm sure of it. That would explain where Liger got its new armor from, it did kinda' remind me of the Shadow Fox's color scheme. Well finding him is out of the question, but there is one more person who I'm sure knows more than Brad or Leon." Jamie fired up the Raynos's engines and took off.

[

Leon hit the floor of the Tauros base grasping his stomach. Harry: "Had enough yet Leon?" Harry had broken into the base and was having a new robot of his beating Leon up. The robot was on tank-like treds, had an upper body like Benjamin's, a disk like head with a visor on it, had arms like the other robots only thicker and was a light green. Harry: "You'd better talk Leon, Joshua here can keep this up all day but I don't think you can." Harry stood to the side of Joshua looking down at Leon. He was wearing a black business suit and his hair was now flat around his head coming to a sharp point between his eyes. Leon: "*cough* *cough* I told you Harry, she's not here anymore... oof!" Joshua had picked Leon up by the back of his shirt and punched him in the stomach. Dr. Tauros entered the hanger at that moment. Dr. Tauros: "Get your hands off my son!" the Doc was wearing the old army helmet and carrying the rifle again only it had a bayonet on it. He charged at the Harry with the gun but was knocked to the ground by Joshua. Harry: *tisk* *tisk* Dr. Tauros, don't you know you shouldn't play with guns? Oh well you can make amens for it if you tell me what I want to know. Tell me, Dr. Tauros, where is your daughter." The Doc gritted his teeth and made another charge for Harry but was stopped again. Harry: "So none of you are just going to tell me huh. Oh well we'll get it out of you the hard way then." Joshua proceeded to punch Dr. Tauros. Leon: "Leave him alone Harry! He's a sick old man now, he's become senile lately, he can't tell you anything!" This was a lie and Leon knew it, unfortunately Dr. Tauros was on one of his saner days today but he probably couldn't tell Harry anything. Harry: "He seems well enough to me, charging with that rifle and all. Joshua, please persuade the good doctor tell us what we want to know." Joshua: (in a deep voice) "Certainly sir."

Mary: "Honestly Harry, do you have to beat up that old man, that's just cruel." Mary Champ walked into the hanger wearing a flowing, large, expensive-looking, blue dress. Harry: "Mary please, I'm not going to hurt him too badly nor am I going to let anything get in my way, I've waited to long for this." Mary: "It's not you hurting him I'm worried about, it's Joshua." Just then Sebastian came rolling into the hanger and up to Harry. Harry: "Did you find her?" Sebastian: "Sorry Harry, but it looks like, with the exception of Leon and Dr. Tauros, no one's been here for a while, Benjamin's still looking but everyone else's rooms are filled with dust. Harry: "You're sure?" Sebastian: "Fraid so Harry, the only zoid here is the Blade Liger, it looks like Jamie's room has been used recently but that's it." Harry turned to Leon. Harry: "So Jamie's still here huh." Leon: "Only recently, he left the team a long time ago on a kind of self discovery mission, he left again yesterday to talk with Brad and said he might not be back for awhile." Leon was still on the ground clutching his stomach, he had a few bruises on his face and was in a lot of pain at the moment. Harry: "Well then, I suppose or time here has been wasted. Sebastian, get Benjamin, we're leaving." Harry turned around and started walking away. Harry: "There are other people we can talk to." Leon: "What... No, you don't mean?!" Leon's eyes were wide open in horror of what he had just realized. After everyone had left Leon lifted himself off the floor picked up his, now unconscious, father, put him in his room and quickly examined the damage done, after seeing it wasn't too bad Leon went to the old briefing room and proceeded to make a call. Leon: "C'mon Brad, pick up the phone."

[

It was quiet for once in the apartment in the base of Brad and Naomi. The low sugar diet that Naomi had put the children on was finally taking effect and they were napping in their room. Brad and Naomi were on the coach watching TV when the video phone rang. Naomi: "Who could that be?" Brad: "Probably creditors but I'll check" Brad got up and walked over to the wall with the phone on it "good God, Leon, what the hell happened to you?!" Naomi: "Wha...?" Naomi turned around and saw a very bruised Leon on the screen. Leon: "We've got a problem Brad. Harry Champ just broke into the base and, as you can see, had his robots beat the shit outta' me." Brad: "Harry, why?" Leon: "Take a guess, they beat up my dad to and Harry's got some new robot to do all the punching." Brad: "Why didn't you just tell him?" Leon: "Like he'd believe me, look get out of your house now, I'm sure he's on his way to pay you a visit." Brad: "Got it, see ya'" Brad turned off the video screen and turned to Naomi "Take the kids and the Gustaff and get out of here now." Naomi: "What about you?" Brad: "I'm staying to "greet" our guests, now get out of here!" Naomi ran to get the kids while Brad went to the closet and got out a locked box. Inside was an assault rifle. Brad: "I've had enough of that ass for one lifetime."

[

Jamie landed his Raynos in front of John's base and could only look in awe. Jamie: "Damn, I heard he and his wife make a lot of money but this is incredible." Jamie walked across the lawn that had somehow managed to grow in the desert in front of the mansion-like residential section on the side of the base and knocked on the front door. Yuna: "Can I help you?" Jamie: "I'm Jamie Hemeros, I'm looking for John Dragoon, is he here?" Yuna: "Well..." John: "It's alright Yuna, you can let him in." Yuna looked back at her husband who was standing a few feet behind her and then opened the door all the way to let Jamie in. John: "I have to say, I'm a little surprised you came here, I assume you want to ask more questions." Jamie: "Do you actually know Bit?" John: "Well, not personally, but I've met him before." Jamie: "So you were just being a good person when you gave him a lift in the desert the other night." John's jaw had dropped and Yuna was looking at Jamie with a horrified expression. John: "You saw that?" Jamie: "Yeah I did, you'd be surprised what kind of info you get from just sitting around bars, I only heard that there was going to be a set up but that's all I needed." John: "All right I'll admit I've known Bit for many years and I have helped him on occasion but that's it." Jamie: "Then you don't know Dr. Layon helps him then?" Once again John's jaw dropped and nothing was said for nearly a minute. John: "How did you know that?" Jamie: "Bit probably should have waited until I was fully unconscious before calling him." John: "So you've run into him. Follow me to the hanger we'll talk there." Yuna watched Jamie and John leave the room with the horrified expression she had had just a moment ago. Yuna was well aware that John had been helping Bit, she was also well aware what would happen if anyone found out. Yuna: (whisper) "Oh my God, not this..."

[

Brad slammed against the wall of his small hanger which now, thanks to Naomi, had no zoids in it. Harry: "My patience is wearing thin Brad. Now tell, me where is she?" Brad stood hunched over against the wall he had just been thrown at with his head up staring at Harry, Joshua and Mary, his gun was off in the corner broken in two, it had been of little use. Brad: "Damn it. Harry! How should I know?! I left the team long before Leena, I didn't exactly keep regular contact with any of them!" Harry: "Brad, Brad, Brad, I understand that, you've always been a lone wolf, it really doesn't surprise me that you didn't talk to your old team much after you left but you must have an idea of where my sweet Leena is or know someone who does." Brad: (angry and annoyed voice) "Well sorry Harry but I don't!" Joshua approached and punched him in the stomach causing him to fall to his knees gasping and holding his stomach. Mary: "Harry, I think he's telling the truth." Harry: "I think you may be right, but Brad is a very tough person to crack, no telling what he's withholding from us. Joshua, keep him entertained for awhile, I'm going to get the Whale King prepped for take off. If Brad, Leon and Dr. Tauros don't know that leaves just one. I'm surprised it didn't hit me earlier, she's with the piece of shit Bit Cloud." Mary: "Harry, watch your language!" Harry: "Sorry Mary. But it makes perfect sense, Bit Cloud was always trying to steal her from me and he's had little over a decade to do it without me stopping him. Come, I think it's time to rescue her."

Brad coughed up some blood from Joshua hitting him and then tried to speak. Brad: *cough* "You don't watch the news, do you Harry." Harry stopped and turned to look at Brad. "No one knows where Bit is, the police have been trying to figure that out for years now and have hardly come close." Harry: "Really, well then this will be a challenge won't it?" As soon as Harry and the others left Brad stumbled to his feet, putting his right hand on the wall for support while his left grabbed his stomach. He had to tell Leon about this, now.

[

John led Jamie through a small black, lit hallway that led to the hanger. Jamie: "Your wife seemed really worried, shouldn't you have told her you guys could trust me?" John: "Yeah probably, Yuna can be kinda high strung sometimes." Jamie: "So, what do you have to tell me?" John: "Only how I know Bit I'm afraid, you seem to have figured out most of this by yourself." The two entered the large hanger and sat down on two boxes about ten feet away from where Light Wing and a black Storm Sworder were parked.

John: "The way I met Bit is pretty interesting, but don't worry it's not too long. I met Bit back when I was a wandering junk dealer like him, actually I think he may have gotten the idea from me. You see just about a year and a half earlier I had lost my whole family to an accident and was on my own, hell until about ten years ago Dragoon wasn't my real name." Jamie: "Until ten years ago?" John: "That's when I married Yuna, I already had signed a lot of official documents with a false name, I didn't want my marriage license to join those ranks. Anyway I was traveling in my old modified Redler with my old dog, God rest his soul, when I saw an old white Shield Liger being chased by some Heldigunners and Command Wolves. Something told me that they weren't good people, I still can't figure out how I came to that conclusion so fast but I helped destroy the annoying things and help the Liger pilot. As you probably guessed that pilot was Bit. We became friends fast, it turned out we were both escaping an old past and were trying to build a new life. We spent about a year traveling together before we went our separate ways." Jamie: "All right so that's how you know him but I need to know the other parts of the story, why Bit's like this, why is Dr. Layon helping him?" John: "Well..." At that moment Yuna came running into the hanger. Yuna: "John, Leon's calling, it looks like it's important!"

John ran back into the house followed by Jamie. John: "Leon, what the hell happened to you?" Leon: "Long story, here's the short version, remember that rich guy we told you about, the one that always bothered us and had a big crush on my sister?" John: "Yeah I remember, Harry...Champ, right?" Leon: "Well I think he's become psychotic in the years he's been gone, he just stormed the Tauros Base, had his robots beat up me and my dad and then did the same thing to Brad." John: "Jesus Christ, is everyone okay?!" Leon: "I'll be fine, my dad's just unconscious and I called Brad so Naomi and their kids got out before they got there." John: "Good to hear, but why did you call me? Far as I know Harry's never met me before." Leon: "That's not the problem. I need you to call Bit now." John: "What? Why?" Leon: "Because according to Brad that's who he's going after next." John: "So? No one's ever been able to find Bit before, the police have been trying for years and they're still not even close." Leon: "Yeah but Harry has got millions, maybe even billions of dollars to blow on looking for him. The price on Bit's head will double or even triple and every bounty hunter from around the world will be looking to collect it." John: "Shit, you're right. Okay I'll call Dr. Layon and warn them."

[

Bit Cloud lay face first on his bed, he had been asleep since he got back and was pretty tired. No force on Zi could have woken him at that point. Dr. Layon was in the control room of the Whale King fiddling with the controls, working on firing out bugs in the system when the video phone rang. Layon: "What is it John?" John: "Sorry to bother you but this is important. Do you remember running into a kid named Harry Champ at one point or another?" Layon: "Harry? Sure I remember, but what does that have to do with anything?" John: "He's back, he just got through with beating up Leon, Brad and Dr. Tauros and now he's looking for Bit." Layon: "What?! Why is he doing that?" John: "What else, he's looking for Leena." Layon: "What?! Didn't anyone just tell him what happened?!" John: "No, the way Harry's acting there's no way he'd believe it. Look unlike the police Harry has no kids at home who worship Bit and he's got a personal grudge and millions of dollars, you and Bit are in serious danger." Layon: "Understood, I'll try and wake Bit."

[

Jamie: "You can contact Dr. Layon at any time?" John: "Sure, I lied when I said I help them out a little, I do a lot more than a little so I have to be able to contact them at anytime, I try not to for fear of the line being traced but sometimes I have to." John got up and started walking back to the hanger. Jamie: "What about your story?" John: "Later, we've got bigger fish to fry now. Come on I'm gonna need some help." Jamie: "Uh...sure." Jamie quickly followed.

[

Dr. Layon entered Bit's room and walked up to his bed. Layon: "Bit!" Dr, Layon grabbed Bit's shoulder and began to shake him. Layon: "Bit, wake up, emergency!!" still no response. Layon: "BIT!!!" Bit turned his head so one eye was visible and it was also visibly closed. At this point nothing on Zi could wake him, well almost nothing. Dr. Layon took a step back and spoke just above a whisper. Layon: "Harry Champ." Bit's eye sprung open and his hand grabbed Dr. Layon's neck. Layon: "He's back and he's looking for you." Bit loosened his grip and took his hand of Layon's throat. Bit: "Damn it, there's one name I never wanted to hear again."

[

Harry stood at the window once again looking out at the desert below. Benjamin: "Harry!" Harry turned around as Benjamin came rolling up. Harry: "Did you find him?" Benjamin: "Sorry Harry, looks like Brad was telling the truth, Bit is hard to find. It appears he's an outlaw now, destroying convoys and some buildings. He's got a pretty hefty price on his head now." Harry: "I always knew he was a low life and this proves it. I just hope he hasn't contaminated my sweet Leena's mind." Benjamin: "What if she's not with him Harry?" Harry: "She'll be with him and even if she isn't he'll know where she is that piece of scum." At that moment the Whale King was rocked by explosions. Harry: "what's happening?!" Sebastian came in over an intercom system. Sebastian: "It looks like we're being attacked from behind!" Harry: "Damn it! Must be bandits. No matter. Nothing will get in the way of me and my love for my sweet Leena!"

Harry and Benjamin ran into the control room of the Whale King where Mary, Sebastian and Joshua already were there. Harry: "Who's attacking us?!" Sebastian: "Take a look for yourself." Sebastian fiddled with the controls and a screen showing the rear of the Whale King came into view. Be hind them was a Raynos and the Light Wing which, now in the sun light, had silver half domes in a few places that had gattling guns coming out of them: on it's chest which had two guns, each side with one gattling gun a piece and it's back which had two. Harry: "The Raynos is Jamie I know it!" Benjamin: "Yeah but what's that other zoid?" Harry: "Who cares, just shoot it down!" Sebastian: "We can, they've taken out the rear guns!" Harry: "What?!"

[

Jamie: "John are you sure this is such a good idea?" John: "Positive, the playing field is level with these guys only in battle, well actually we've got the advantage." Jamie: "But it's five against two and I don't know about you but I'm a little rusty." John: "No, no Jamie, it's even, just look ahead." Jamie: "Huh? What!?" about a mile two miles ahead the red Blade Liger, Shadow Fox and Liger Zero were waiting for them. Jamie: "John what's going on?!" John: "We're taking them out now, this Harry guy is supposed to be royalty, right? Well it's a bad idea to let princes become spoiled so we have to teach him a lesson. Besides he can't do anything about it, not after wrecking Leon's and Brad's bases, he won't have any proof anyways."

[

Sebastian: "Harry look. Ahead of us!" Harry: "Well, well, well, looks like they saved of the trouble of looking for them. It looks like they want to fight to." Benjamin: "We're not actually going to battle them are we?" Harry: "Of course we are! This is just how it should be. Now we can pay them back for all those humiliating defeats they've handed us and get the information I desire. Sebastian prepare to land. Everyone to your zoids!"

[

John: "Hey Bit it looks like they've accepted our challenge!" the Light Wing came to hover above its ally zoids while the Raynos kept going. Bit: "Good, we'll get rid of them the way we always have. Is everyone ready?!" Leon, Brad, Jamie, John: "Yeah!"

[

Before landing the Whale King launched two aerial zoids, a Storm Sworder that had added weapons like the ones Dr. Layon had used and a Hammer Head with a few extra missile pods, a Buster cannon on bottom and several extra gun turrets. John: "Grrrr. I hate Hammer Heads!" Jamie: "Really? Why?" John: "Long story." As it landed it let three zoids out of its mouth. One was defiantly a Gun Blaster with two large laser cannons on the sides and had some of it's center guns removed to make room for a cannon of some sort, but the other two no one had ever seen. Brad: "What the fuck are those?!" Harry: "Surprised? These are new experimental zoids, they really cost a pretty penny but oh well. My sister Mary is piloting a new modified Gun Blaster, Benjamin is piloting an experimental zoid called the Dark Spinner and as for me, I'm piloting the king of zoids, the Gojulas Giga!" Leon: "Damn, it figures they'd have a bunch of new toys to use." Mary: "Good heavens, what have you done to my snowflake?!?!" Bit: "Damn it, not that again. This is a battle zoid, it's made to battle not look good." Brad: "Just like old times huh. Now all we need is Leena and her over loaded Gun Sniper, a judge and Harry forking over a ton of cash to fight him." Bit: "All right guys fan out, Leon you keep that Dark Spinner thing busy, Brad get rid of that Gun Blaster, John and Jamie you guys get rid of the air units, Harry is mine."

All the zoids charged at each other and spread out with Harry and Bit charging at each other down the middle. John: "Jamie, you keep that Storm Sworder busy, I'll take care of the Hammer Head." Jamie: "Gotcha." Sebastian: "Joshua be careful with that Hammer Head, if you lose it's going to take awhile for Harry to trust you again." Joshua: "I understand." The Raynos began shooting at the Storm Sworder to draw its attention and draw it away. The two veered far to the left of the other two and John wasted no time in attacking the Hammer Head. Light Wing flew past it shooting its side gattling guns at it. John: "Damn it, it dodged. For a Hammer Head that thing's fast." Brad was busy with trying to pin down what should have been a slow zoid. Brad: "Call me crazy, but I think this things speed has been modified!" Leon: "The Champ Team heavily modifying their zoids. Big surprise." Leon was busy testing what the Dark Spinner was capable of. Bit had already been knocked back twice by Harry and was getting really frustrated. Bit: "God damn it! How thick is the fucking armor?!" Harry: "Surprised Bit? You should be, every zoid here is special and unique, each specially made or modified. It doesn't matter how good you are Bit, this time my powerful technology is more than a match for your pathetic skill." Bit: "Looks like you've been away from battling for to long. What little experience you gained is gone. I'll show you just how pathetic you are!"

Jamie and Sebastian were locked in a ferocious dog fight in the air with no end in sight. Jamie: "Damn, how could he be this good?" Sebastian: "Sorry Jamie, but my program has been updated to act much faster and I'm now connected directly to my zoid so I can react much faster than you, sorry." Jamie: "Guys, did you hear that?" John: "Yeah, I heard it." Leon: "That would explain how Benjamin's dodging me." John: "Doesn't matter!" The Hammer Head shot all of it's turrets and missile at Light wing trying to shoot it down. John: "Damn it! That thing has a lot of weapons!" John managed to dodge most of the shots but got hit with a few of the missile explosions. John: "That's it! Let's see how you like Light Wing's signature move!" Light Wing stopped, opened it's mouth revealing a lens inside it that formed a small light ball in front of it's mouth. The light ball suddenly let lose about ten thick curving orange lasers heading for the Hammer Head as if they were locked on to it. The Hammer Head raised a large shield and blocked it. John: "Shit, it's got a shield!" The Buster Cannon at the bottom of the Hammer Head began to glow and then let out a huge blast at Light Wing. John: "Crap!" A green shield raised in front of Light Wing. John: "Unfortunately for you I have one too and it's stronger than yours."

Harry: "Actually all of us have shields." Bit: "What?!" Simultaneously everyone else fired at the Camp Team's zoids. Each of them were blocked by a shield. Leon: "Damn!" Brad: "Fuck!" Jamie: "Oh no!" Harry: "I figured we'd fight each other and this time it would really count so I spared no expense in upgrading our zoids. Everything on them is state of the art, powerful shields on all of them, new more powerful guns, speed boosters and my favorite." Two large pieces of steel fell from the sides of the Gojulas's feet, anchoring it as it aimed it's mouth at the Liger Zero and blue electricity began flowing through it's mouth. Bit: "What the hell are you doing?!" Liger immediately jumped out of the way as the Gojulas Giga fired a Plasma Particle beam from it's mouth. Harry: "I got the idea during the Royal cup from watching those Geno Saures and the Berserk Fury. Unfortunately I was never able to find a Charged Particle Cannon, but this will do." Bit: "You're insane."

Jamie: "John! Little help here!" John: "Sorry Jamie but my hands are tied." Leon: "C'mon guys we can't get beaten by these amateurs!" Brad: "It's not like we're letting them win! John: "Damn it! Everyone's too fatigued to fight at full power."

The battle was going very bad for everyone but the Champ Team. No one had been incapacitated yet but everyone was taking a lot of shots. The Shadow Fox hid in smoke and tried shooting it's electric net at the Gun Blaster but it was burned up against it's shield. Leon tried charging the Dark Spinner with it's blades but was shot in the leg. Bit tried the same with Harry but was repelled by the Gojulas Giga's tail slamming into him. Jamie was on the run from the Storm Sworder's missiles and trying to avoid it's fire as well. John was busy just trying not to get hit by the Buster Cannon. Light Wings shield had repelled it once but it had taken a large chunk out of the shield energy from taking the full bunt of the attack. John: "This is hopeless. Everyone but me and Jamie are fighting at less than 50% of their full strength. Jamie's hasn't fought in awhile and I'm fighting something that's practically covered with guns. Got to get past this thing's shield but...hey wait that might work." Light Wing activated it's shield and dove at the Hammer Head at full speed, the Hammer Head raised it's shield and blocked it. Joshua: "If you were trying to hit me before I could activate my shield you're wasting your time. What? Shields failing, power dropping?" The Hammer Head's shield disappeared and was rammed by Light Wing and was knocked back and lost a few turrets from the impact. John: "Little known fact, when shields collide they will cancel each other out, however my shield is on a very unusual frequency were your shield is canceled but mines not." Light Wing opened fire with all of it's arsenals Knocking the Hammer Head to the ground. Harry: "Joshua!"

Jamie: "Damn it! I can't take much more of this!" Sebastian: "Too bad Jamie and I was really enjoying my AHHHH!" The Storm Sworder was shot down by orange lasers and fell out of the sky. Jamie: "Thanks John." John: "No problem now lets help the others." Harry: "Not so fast, you didn't think I'd only bring five zoids did you?" Looking a few miles ahead John and Jamie could clearly see a small army of zoids marching towards them. Jamie: "Dang how many of them are they?" John: "Sheesh, how much money does this guy have?!" Jamie: "It looks like helping the others will have to wait until later." John: "Right, hang in there guys."

Harry: "Just give up Bit. You won't beat me this time." Bit: "Yeah, I won't beat you, I'll kill you!" Harry: "Temper, temper Bit. Just make this easy on yourself and tell me where my sweet Leena is." Liger stopped moving at the point. Harry, puzzled, stopped firing. The Liger turned to face the Gojulas Giga. Bit: "She... was... never... YOURS!!!" The Liger went into it's Five Blade Attack. The Gojulas shielded itself expecting to stop him, but when the Liger hit it the shield shattered. Harry: "What?! HOW?!" Mary and Benjamin: "Harry!!" Brad and Leon saw their chance and took it blowing both of them to the ground. Bit: "YAAAA!!!" With it's back blades extended the Liger charged at Harry and cut it through the mid-section. Harry: "Damn you! You piece of shit!" The Gojulas fired one last Plasma Particle Cannon. The blast didn't hit the Liger but it sent Liger flying, it hit the ground and started rolling before hitting some rocks. Leon and Brad: "BIT!!!" John and Jamie just got back when it happened. John: "Bit, NO!!" Jamie: "No Bit!!"

John: "Brad, you brought your Gustav here, take Bit and the Liger to the Tauros Base!" Brad: "Why?" Leon: "We can't take him to the hospital and the old base is the closest!" Brad: "Got it!" John: "We'll all meet there, and as for you!" Light Wing turned to face the Champ Team, Harry was unconscious too. John: "If you ever come back we'll blast you so bad they'll have to use a sponge to pick you all up, got it! Let's go guys." Jamie: "Wait! I'm tired of being in the dark about all of this, they weren't helping and Brad and Leon knew about you and Dr. Layon helping Bit. I want answers!" John Paused for a moment, he looked at Jamie through the video screen with steely resolve debating with himself what to do. John: "All right. Jamie follow me." Light Wing took off and the Raynos followed.

[

The two zoids landed in a field of grass. Both got out of their zoids. John: "Jamie, see that small building at the top of that hill? Go there and you will find the answers you're looking for." Jamie: "Huh?" John: "Just go." Jamie walked up to top of the hill. The building at the top appeared to be some kind of monument, it was well decorated, like a church almost. Jamie walked inside, there was something in the center. Jamie approached it and looked at it. Jamie: "Oh my God!" Jamie fell on his hands and knees staring in disbelief at the small monument with his mouth gasping his eyes wide.

S.D. Well, um, I guess I'll see ya. Knuckles: Adios mis muchachos.
