Well, I decided to write the next chapter.  Pleaz review!

Disclaimer:  Go to the last chapter.  You'll find it there.

It was lunchtime now and the two teams had finally made it back to the base.  They all jumped out of the zoids and walked into the living quarters of the base.

"Welcome back team," greeted Doc.  Jamie was there as well.

"How'd it go?" asked Jamie.

"Fine," they all said, not wanting to talk about what really happened.

"So, what did you have for lunch?" asked Doc.

"Um…we actually haven't eaten yet," said Leena.

"Why not?"

"We got…distracted," said Bit.

"Not to mention there weren't any good restaurants," said Leon.

"Yeah," they all said.

"Well then you're all probably starving.  Have a good lunch."  With that, Doc ran off to his room to play with his zoid models.  Everyone else, including Jamie, walked into the kitchen to find some food.

"So what really happened?" asked Jamie.

"What do you mean?" asked Leena, a little nervous.

"I know you made that up.  I wanna know what really happened."

"You really wanna know?" asked Naomi.

"Yes."

"You sure?" asked Bit.

"Yes!  Just tell me already!"

"Fine, we were attacked, okay?" said Leena.

"Attacked?"

"Yep," responded Brad.

"By who?"  At this, they turned to Star.

"His name was Ain.  He and his gang attacked us.  They were the pilots of the black Storm Sworders that shot down my Raynos," she answered.

"Why did they attack you guys?"

"Don't know."

"Oh."

"Well, if we're done talking now, I'm hungry," said Bit.  They all began to dig through the kitchen, finding whatever interested them.

It had gotten late.  The day went by quickly and it was already 10 pm.  Dinner was good and afterwards, they played a few games.  They were now all sitting in the living room (A/N the room with the TV).  Star walked into the room and sat down next to Leena.

"Hey, you guys?" she asked.  "I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" asked Naomi.

"I'm leaving tomorrow.  My ride should be there around 10 tomorrow morning."

"So soon?" asked Leena.

"Yeah.  Sorry."

"It's okay," said Bit.

"Yeah, it's been fun having you here," said Leon.

"You guys really mean that?"

"Of course," they all said.  Not long after, they all went to bed and easily fell asleep.

******

"Thanks for everything you guys," said Star.  It was a nice, sunny day and the breeze slightly blew, kicking up dust from the sands of the desert.  They all stood outside.  Star was facing them as they all stood near the base.  Star had her hair up in a ponytail and a pair of sunglasses that had lavender, see through lenses.  She also wore a jean jacket over her new outfit.  They had given her a small backpack that she was carrying some items in.  "You guys have done so much for me."

"It was no problem at all," said Doc.

"Yeah," said Leena.  "Come back whenever you want."

"Yeah, you'll always be welcomed," said Bit.

"Thanks."  Just then, the wind seemed to pick up around them and a whale king landed a distance behind Star.  She just smiled.

"I guess that's my ride."  She didn't even turn around.  Some men walked out of the whale king, wearing black uniforms and sunglasses.  Star turned around to see them and instantly changed her mood.  She backed up a little and seemed shocked and angry.

"Is this the base of the Blitz team?" asked the man who seemed to be leading them.  There were about 6 of them, 7 including him.  Star didn't say anything, just glared at him.

"Yes, it is," answered Leena, a little confused.  The man looked at Star, who glared back.  She then looked to the side and tried to run, but didn't get far before the man grabbed her by the wrist and lifted her off the ground.  She wasn't happy at all.

"What's going on?" asked Bit.  All of them changed their moods as well; each seemed a little angry and confused.  The man looked to all of them, still holding Star.

"I work for the ZBC.  This girl here is a spy for the Backdraft."  Star's eyes went wide at this, along with everyone else's.

"What?" they all asked, surprise in their voices, but they didn't shout it.

"No, he's wrong," said Star.  She seemed worried and panicked.  "He works for the Backdraft."  The man reached into his pocket and grabbed a badge, which was clearly from the ZBC.

"Don't believe the words of this spy," he said.

"He's wrong, please believe me," pleaded Star.  They did nothing, not knowing what to do or who to believe.  Star swung her body back and then came forward, kicking her leg out and up to the side of the man's head, kneeing him in the face.  She made contact and he dropped her.  She quickly got up and began to run, but was shoved down to the ground by one of the other men.  The two teams were all tense now, ready to fight.  Star jumped back up and punched one of the men in the face, but was then attacked by another, shoving her back to the ground, but this time more forcefully.  She seemed to be struggling to get back up.  The leader of them walked over to her and took something from his pocket.  A gun, to be exact.  Star's eyes were wide, because she knew what came next.

"Say goodbye, you traitor," he said.  Star was too scared to move now, but before the gun went off, the man groaned and then fell to the ground.  Star's eyes followed him down, and then she looked back up.  Leon was standing near her, the Blitz team and Naomi not far away.  They were breaking up and attacking the other men, who were easily a foot taller than they were and more bulk.

"Thanks," said Star.

"No problem," said Leon, still standing near her.  The man began to move and pushed himself up, ready to fight with Leon.  "Get out of here."

"Are you sure?" asked Star.

"Yeah.  We'll be fine."  He then blocked a punch aimed at his face.  "Go now."

"Thank you."  Star got to her feet and made a run for it.  She glanced back and noticed that her friends were loosing the battle.  She wasn't even that far away.  She then heard a groan of pain and stopped running, looking back at her friends.  They were all in a group.  They seemed hurt.  Leon was in front of them, sitting on the ground, Bit and Leena on his sides.  The men didn't seem hurt at all.

"How dare you interfere?" asked the leader angrily.  'Oh no,' thought Star.  She began to run back towards them.  The man pulled his gun out and they all got back on their feet.  He aimed his gun at Leon.

"Let's start with you, since you started this mess."  The man grinned evilly and began to pull the trigger.  Before any of them knew what was happening, Star ran in front of them just as the gun went off.  The bullet hit her in the stomach, but she didn't stagger or flinch at all from the hit.

"Star?" questioned Leena.  Star then fell to her knees, breathing hard.

"I am Special Forces agent Taki 'Star' Summers of the Zoid Battle Commission.  I'm not a spy, please believe me," she said, and with that, she collapsed onto the desert floor.  They all knelt near her.

"Star," said Leena, trying to wake her up.  Just then, the wind picked up again and another whale king landed.  The Backdraft men seemed worried.

"We'll finish this later," said the leader as they retreated into their Whale King and took off.  The two teams watched as they lifted off.  Just then, some more people approached them. They were wearing uniforms that were white and other different colors.  One of them ran closer and got a good look at all of them.

"That's Star," he said, a little shocked.  They looked to him at the mention of Star's name.  The man looked to Leon, who was the nearest to Star's limp body.  "You there," he said, catching Leon's attention.  "Pick her up and all of you follow me.  There's still time for her."  Leon nodded and carefully turned her over and picked her up.  They all followed the man as they ran back to the whale king, which lifted off into the sky.
