Dizzy awoke onto a cold, stone floor. Her vision was hazy and she could barely make out where she was. Where ever she was it was dark and dead quiet. Something was wrapped tightly across her forehead, it was almost covering her eyes. She tried to reach for it but her hands were bound together. Dizzy was scared, she didn't know where she was or what she was doing here. She started to recall what had happen to her, the incident with April and that man, Janus.

The room was small and square in shape. There was nothing inside besides Dizzy and a large metallic door. The eerie silence was soon broken by a loud clanking noise. The noise continued in the sound of steps and was slowly drawing closer. Dizzy began to panic, she wanted to protect herself in some way but was too weak to do so. All she could do was wait and listen as the sound came closer. Her breath quicken as the sound got louder and louder, soon it was right outside of the room. The noise stopped just in front of the metal door. She then heard something beeping and shortly after the door slid open. Standing in front of the opening was one of those robots from before, another one was behind it. The closest one entered the room and started to pick her up from the ground. She let out a scream but it was no use, the robot grabbed her and Dizzy couldn't do anything about it, she still felt too weak. She tried kicking the robot away from her but it continued to reach for her. The robot grabbed Dizzy foot and pulled hard, Dizzy fell back and knocked her head on the floor. Dizzy felt a sharp pain and then everything went black.

"What a mess this has become." Johnny thought as he looked around the lounge in the Mayship. The lounge had a few chairs in it, but no one was sitting down. In the room with him was May, Ky, and Testament. Johnny and the others all barely managed to get back on the ship and take off with those machines chasing them. A few managed to get on board but they were quickly subdued. Novel was looking over one right now, trying to see if she could find anything useful information out of it. Augus and July took April down to the sickbay. April's odd behavior got so out of hand that they were forced to knock her out.

May looked to Johnny, "What happened to Dizzy? What's wrong with April?" She asked.

Before Johnny could answer Testament spoke first, "Yes, human, what happened to Dizzy? She was your responsibility, please do tell how this happened." He said sharply.

Johnny looked towards Testament, it look as if his eyes were piercing him. Johnny knew of all people that Testament wasn't one to be angered, and after losing Dizzy, he couldn't imagine how he must feel. "Just let me explain what happened Testament, the matter was out of my hands and…"

"NO! You listen to me!" Testament shouted. May jumped, even Johnny was startled by his outburst. Testament stormed over to where they were standing pointing his finger towards Johnny. "She trusted you and I foolishly let her go under your wing and this is how you repay her!"

Johnny held up his hand, "Now wait a minute and let me tell you…"

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you on the spot right now?"

"No! Don't!" May shouted as she held onto Johnny.

A hand fell onto Testament's shoulder, "I think you should calm down and let Johnny explain the matter." Said Ky.

Testament shrugged off his hand, "Don't touch me. And why are you here, hmm? Change your mind, decided to finish the job with Dizzy?"

"No and you know it, just please calm yourself before…"

"Before what?" Testament said raising his eyebrow, "Are you going to stop me? If I recall correctly you almost didn't survive our last encounter if that insufferable Sol didn't show up to save you."

Now Ky was getting angry, "I didn't need his help! I was just…"

"ENOUGH! Both of you! We don't need to be arguing when there are bigger problems at hand." Johnny shouted breaking up their bickering.

Testament broke his gaze from Ky and returned it toward Johnny and pointed at him again, "Mark my words human, if she's harmed, I'll…I'll…" He gripped his hand into a fist and didn't finish his sentence, and with that, he stormed out of the room.

Johnny breathed a sigh of relief, "Well that was scary." He looked downward at May who was still holding on tightly to him. "Umm, May why don't you go see how April is doing alright?"

"But Johnny I want to know what happened." She pleaded.

"I know and I'll explain it all to you later, but April need you more right now, ok?"

May nodded her head and let go of Johnny, she began to walk out. Johnny took a seat in one of the chairs and looked towards Ky, "So, why are you here? I don't suppose this is a coincidence is it?"

Ky also took a seat, "I came because of what happened in Paris last night. I know Dizzy was involved."

"Now look, it wasn't her fault, those men were…"

"Yes I know what happened, but that still doesn't explain her actions."

"What did you have in mind? Were you going to arrest her, she a Gear! And she's supposed to be dead!"

"No I wasn't going to arrest her, I was just worried and wanted to talk to her personally. But now I see that I'm not the only one that's taken an interest in her."

"You mean those freaks that look like you, what do you know about them?"

Ky tightened his grip on the chair, he hated how people confused them for him. He quickly composed himself, "Those…robots are from the Postwar Admin Bureau, they've been pretty quiet and silent until now."

"Why are they after Dizzy?"

Ky shook his head, "I don't know. They've been around since the Holy War and developed anti-Gear weapons for the Holy Order and Zepp for awhile, near the end of the war they went underground because we were investigated some of their…questionable practices and research projects."

"Wait, are you saying that they want to use Dizzy like some kind of lab animal?"

"I fear it might be worse then that, but, I don't know what exactly they have planned."

Johnny and Ky sat there for a moment, neither one said anything to the other. The awkward silence was soon broken by the sound of someone running into the room. It was Novel, "Johnny! Johnny!" She shouted as she entered the room.

Johnny and Ky both stood up and the young girl's entrence, "What? What is it Novel?" Johnny asked.

"I know where they're going!" She said, breathing heavily.

"Who?" Johnny asked.

"The people that have Dizzy, I know where they are!"

Darkness and silence was all that filled the small room until the door creaked open letting in light from the outside. Before the door became fully open the hand that which had opened the door reached up for something on the wall. After a small click, the light bulb that hung from the ceiling blinked on and off for a few seconds before it became fully on. It made a slight humming noise breaking the silence of the room. In the room was a single metal chair that sate in the middle of the room. Next to the chair was a table tray, and on it were several obscure-looking medical instruments. A black stool lay underneath a small metal sink against the wall that was perpendicular to the door. A musty smell filled the room, it looks as if the area hasn't been disturbed in years. The man in front of the door took a step and breathed in a little, and almost coughed.

"When was the last time this place was used?" Janus asked turning to Gregory who was standing just outside of the room.

Gregory walked into the room and looked around a little, "Probably at least twenty years." He walked besides the chair and drew his finger along the rim of the chair picking up the layer of dust with it, he looked at his finger and rubbed it along with his thumb, "No, roughly twenty-six years to be exact. That was the last time I was here."

"Were you interrogating someone?" Janus asked.

"Yes, an employee that was suspected of leaking vital information outside of the origination, we would use this hideout to deal with such people." Gregory kneeled next the chair and noticed some discolored spots on the ground. "Hmm, missed a spot when I cleaned up last time."

"Well this place will have to do for now, we're too far away from HQ to do anything right now." Janus took one of the small instruments off of the tray and looked at it a little closer, "What'd you do to the guy?"

"Nothing at first, he was more the willing to talk once he was strapped to the chair and saw those," He pointed to the trey. "He broke down and told me everything, he disappointed me really, getting the answers is the fun part. But…" Gregory trailed off as he also grabbed one of the instruments from the trey.

Janus put down the one he had and looked at the one Gregory was holding, it was a small rod with a tiny buzz saw on the top of it. "But?" He asked Gregory.

Gregory flipped a switch on the rod, turning on the saw. It made a high pitched, buzz sound. He then turned it off and set it back onto the trey. "But the Bureau doesn't like to have disloyal employees on their payroll."

Janus looked down at the trey full of instruments, he could hardly imagine what kind of horrific events happened here in this room. Janus looked up when he heard the sound of heavy footsteps from outside the room, "That must be them." Janus said walking over to the door and looking down the hallway. He saw the two Robo-Kys coming, the front one was holding Dizzy. When they got to the room Janus pointed at the chair in the room, "Put her there." The machines nodded and laid Dizzy into the chair, then strapped her arms and legs down. "Good," Janus said. "That'll be all." He waved his hand and the robots left the room.

Dizzy let out a slight moan as she began to move her head a little. Dizzy's head was down looking at her lap when she started to open her eyes, her head hurt a little but she was unable to hold it. She looked to the right a little and noticed her hand was tied down to what ever she was sitting in. She felt her other hand and legs were also strapped down as well. "Ah, it appears that she's finally awake." Dizzy looked up a little and noticed the man stand in front of her, it was Janus. This was the first time she's seen him this close before. He had spiky red hair, green eyes, and a slender face. He was wearing a yellow tie and a black shirt with black pants. He was also wearing a yellow jacket that stopped at his knees. Janus smiled, "Have a nice nap?"

Dizzy's eyes became more focused as she looked up at him, she felt a sharp pain from her head, "Ahhh! Why does my head hurt?"

"Oh yes, that." Janus leaned towards her tapping the object strapped to her head. "This is quite an interesting object that the Bureau created but never had a use for till now. A while ago we found a similar headband much like the one you're wearing right now in an old abandoned Gear lab. After studying the object we found that it limited the powers of a Gear. And a few prototypes later we came up with this one, only the one you're wearing completely negates a Gear's power, so…" Janus took one of the feathers out of Dizzy's white wing, "You're completely defenseless." He flicked the feather out of his hand and let it flutter to ground.

Dizzy was almost in tears, "Why!? Why are you doing this to me? Why won't you leave me alone?"

Janus slid the stool from under the sink and put it next to the chair and sat down, "Because you're a Gear, and not just any Gear. You're a Commander Gear."

"I don't know what that means."

"Of course you don't, you've lived such a sheltered life. The only thing you probably know about Gears is that most people hate them because they almost killed off the human race in the Holy War. In fact it wasn't the Gears that most people afraid of. No, it was the leader of the Gears that struck fear into the hearts of people, Justice. She was a Commander Gear, a Gear with the abilities to control other Gears. You're the genetic experiment of Justice, you're her daughter and heir."

Dizzy shook her head, making a couple of tears fall from her face, "But I don't want to start a war! I just want live peacefully with my friends!"

Janus laughed a little, "Oh yes your 'friends' the pirates. I'm sure you fit right in with all the other girls."

"They are my friends! They accepted me!"

"Well of course they did, they're just naive children! They just saw you as the new girl only you had a tail and wings like their stuffed animals. But what about Johnny, he treated you differently from all the other girls didn't he? He was more protective over you then the other girls right?" Dizzy looked down and sat silently to his comment. "See, and everyone one else you've met has treated you like some sort of time bomb ready to go off." Janus brought his hand under Dizzy's chin and made her look up to him, "And you did, didn't you? How was your trip in Paris?"

"That…that…" She started crying heavily now, "That was an accident! I didn't mean to kill them!"

"But you did. Can I ask you, did you feel good doing it? Did you enjoy embracing your Gear power to do harm?"

"N…no! I hate using my power to harm…" Dizzy was crying so much that she was unable to finish her sentience.

Before Janus could continue a phone in room began to ring. Gregory pulled out a cell phone in his pocket and answered, a few moments later he handed it to Janus, "Stan wants to talk to you."

Janus took the phone, "I thought I told you not to call me during this unless……What…...What do they……Now?......Damn it!" He shut the phone and griped it in his hand.

"What?" Gregory asked.

Janus still had his hand on the phone, he looked back at Gregory. "Stan said the chairmen called, they're asking about the Gear. They want to speak to me directly."

"Now are you sure that's where Dizzy is at?" Johnny said to Novel.

The young mechanic pointed at the map, "Yes I'm sure, I got the info straight out of that weird looking robot."

"Ok...you go inform June and have her set our new course of direction and I'll get the rest of the crew together."

"Rodger!" Novel said as she ran out of the room. She came to a couple of corners and got to a ladder that led up to the cockpit of the ship. Standing in front of the ladder, though, was Testament. "Move! I need to get up there!" Testament glared at her, the look in his eye made her feel uneasy. "Please, I need to tell June where to go and get Dizzy!" Testament immediately grabbed the young girl by the shoulders and looked her right in the eyes. Novel almost screamed at his advancement towards her. "WHERE!?" He demanded.

"She's in a small abandoned town about 60 miles from Paris due east." Novel said, barely being able to speak.

Testament thought for a second, "60 miles…east," he repeated, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then I'm sorry child." He said calmly.

"For what?"

"For this…" Testament hit the back of the girl's head, knocking her out. He laid her body next to the ladder. "I'm going to rescue her myself, I'm not going to have that pirate or Holy Knight interfere. This time I'll make sure that bastard doesn't bother Dizzy again…ever."
