After Crystal had gotten her daily exercise, she decided to explore the hanger. After awhile she came upon a boy who was working on what seemed like a black Command Wolf with three heads.

" Hey what are you doing " Crystal asked sweetly.(don't I love adjectives -_-') When the boy didn't look up she sat down a few feet away from where he was working and began watching him. About an hour later as Crystal was dozing off, the boy finally addressed her.

" Did you want something "

" I just wanted to comment on you zoid. It is a really remarkable machine. " Crystal told the boy. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black cargo pants and trenchcoat made out of two different materials that Crystal couldn't name, black gloves and a black bandana covering his midnight black hair. (can't breath, being smothered by black... x_x) He also had two swords at his sides.

" Thanks. His name's Cerebrus.... " each of the zoid's heads roared in unison, " and you can just call me Hellbound Rider. " As he said his name Crystal could have sworn that his eyes were slits, but just for a second.

" I'm Crystal. " she said. She was about to ask what his clothes were made of when someone called her.

" Hey Crystal wanna come train with us! " Ayla called down the hanger.

" Sure! " Crystal yelled back. " Let me go get Ligra and Phoenix and I'll meet you outside. " Well, bye. " Crystal waved to Hellbound Rider and ran to go get her zoids. What she didn't see was that he waved back.

" Here I come! " Bryant yelled as he fired off some shots that zoomed off harmlessly in different directions.

" You're never going to amount to anything with a mass-produced pile of junk like that! You should have gotten a custom model like the Zillah Illusionist. " Ayla was referring to her zoid which was a purple panther with wings.

" Or my oh-so-lovely Dragonair. " Angela's dark blue dragon zoid with a blade on its head and cannons on the shoulders resembling a Raynos swooped down from the sky almost crashing into Bryant's Gunsniper.

" Well at least my zoid is normal unlike you flashy tin cans! " Bryant shot back at the other two. While Bryant, Ayla, and Angela were fighting, Phoenix flew by, breaking the sound barrier. The sonic boom that followed knocked all three zoid over and sent them flying a couple feet in the air. (I live in the U.S. and learning all the conversions is a pain in the you-know-what so I'm just going to stick to standard measures.)

" What was that for! " Ayla yelled.

" Phoenix wants you to stop fighting so we can continue practicing. " Crystal stated coolly.

" Crystal, I've been meaning to ask you this, but are you zoids custom made " Angela asked.

" Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing... " Bryant chimed in. " because Ligra looks almost exactly like the zoid Bit Cloud has. "

' Oh man what do I tell them ' Crystal panicked.

" Just tell them the truth without revealing any important information. " Ligra advised her.

" Be careful what you say. " Phoenix warned Crystal. She told them the whole story, omitting the all of the parts about Ancient Zoidians.

" Wow you were wandering around the desert for a whole week alone and you survived I'm impressed. " Ayla said in amazement while Bryant and Angela nodded.

" It's nothing, really. Let's keep practicing. " Everyone nodded and continued fighting.

" Well done Crystal. " Phoenix said.

" There was nothing to worry about, was there " Ligra cooed.

" I guess not. " Crystal smiled and continues to fight with the others.

The next couple of days fell in to a sort of pattern where Crystal was either training with Bryant, Ayla, and Angela, chasing Harry with Leena, or just hanging out with May, Violet and Jamie. By the time she saw Bit again she was one of the most popular girls there. The next day Crystal was just sitting down with her zoids when a pair of hands covered her eyes.

" Guess who "

" Hmm, could it be..... Bit "

" Bingo. " Bit then tackled Crystal and they began wrestling again.

" I've missed you so much! " Crystal began hugging Bit.

" I missed you too. " Bit held her in his arms. (my personal fantasy ^-^)

" I have to go meet somebody. " Crystal said. " Meet me outside the hanger at midnight tonight. "

" Ok. See you then. " Bit sighed as he watched Crystal's retreating back.

" You like her, don't you "

" What would make you think that Liger "

" It's just the way you act around her. " Liger explained. " You are much more playful then you are normally when you are with her. "

" It's nothing like that! " Bit yelled.

" Then why are you blushing " Liger questioned slyly.

" Well..... I....... um........ you see......."

" Love is not something to be ashamed of. Just because you are the only person in love at the moment doesn't mean it's a bad thing. " Liger told Bit.

" It's just........ I've never felt like this before. " Bit stated. " And it feels weird because she revealed my heritage to me. "

" About being a Zoidian I could have told you that the second we met. "

" What! " Bit exclaimed.

" I've known since the day you were born. "

" Then why didn't you tell me. " Bit asked in a hurt voice.

" I just assumed you knew, and as time went by I realized that you didn't. " Liger said. " I was going to tell you but Crystal beat me to it. "

" Right. " Bit stated sarcastically. " I'm gonna go get some rest. I have a date at midnight. "

"Whatever you say. " Liger watched Bit walk away.

Bit ran down the hall. He had overslept and was late for his first lesson. (surprise, surprise)

" Sorry I'm late! " Bit ran outside panting.

" What took you so long " Crystal said annoyed.

" I overslept. " Bit blushed in embarrassment.

" Ok. Well let's get started. First I'm going to teach you how to control fire." Crystal told him. " First relax your body and empty your mind. "

" Ok. " Bit let his arms hang at his sides and discontinued any thoughts he had.

" You still haven't cleared your mind. " Bit heard Liger speak to him in his head.

" How did you do that " Bit asked in astonishment.

" You can speak with Liger telepathically and he can look into your mind. " Crystal informed him.

" Empty your mind. " Liger coaxed Bit. Bit closed his eyes and cleared his head.

" He's ready. " Ligra informed Crystal.

" Ok now hold out your hand and imagine a flame on your palm. " Bit held out his palm and a small flame appeared. Bit suddenly opened his eyes and collapsed on the ground.

" That was perfect! " Crystal yelled as she helped Bit up.

" Can we do more " Bit asked eagerly as he staggered to his feet.

" No. This has been enough fore one night. " Liger said sternly.

" Ok we'll continue tomorrow night, same time and place. " Crystal informed Bit as he walked back inside, leaning on Liger for support. " One more thing. "

" Yeah "

Don't tell anyone that you're a Zoidian. "
