The next morning Sarah and Leslie decided to confront Jacob and find out whose challenge he planned on accepting. They were his teammates and they had every reason to know who he would be battling.
"Jacob," Sarah yelled across the hanger to where he was tinkering on something on the back of Twilight's neck.
"Yeah sis," He asked as he leapt down to the concrete floor of the hanger. "What do you want?"
"What I want is for you to tell me whose challenge you'll be accepting," Sarah demanded.
"And I second that demand," Leslie said. "We have every right to know who it is that the teams best warrior will be facing."
Jacob smiled. "Someone I know and trust that just happens to be in the upper ranks. This 'friend' is someone who challenged me a few years back and I told him that I'd think about it. I've kept his challenge in mind and now I'm going to ask him if the challenge still stands. If I know him then the challenge not only still stands but it will continue to stand so long as we both have the strength to pilot. Now, could you two leave me to my work." He climbed back up onto Twilight's neck.
Sighing at the unsatisfactory answer they had received, Sarah and Leslie left Jacob in the hanger. They knew Jacob would tell them if he felt it necessary. He would have a very good reason for not telling them.
Jacob finished his work quickly then looked around to make sure Sarah and Leslie weren't still around. Satisfied that they were gone he walked over to the large comm. screen in the corner of the hanger and connected with a very familiar number. He had started to dial it several times during the last few years but had decided against it.
He smiled at the face of the person who answered. He had shaggy brown hair and was quite well known. "Hello," he said. "This is the Blitz Team base and I am Brad Hunter."
"I know who you are," Jacob said. "I'm looking for my cousin. He has blond hair and he's kind of arrogant. I believe you know him quite well."
Brad sighed heavily, muttering, "Yeah, a little too well," before yelling over his shoulder, "Bit, you have a call."
Bit Cloud's face replaced Brad's. He was about to say something before he realized who it was. Smiling broadly he said, "Long time no see cuz. How's it going? Whatever happened to the great Midnight Might?"
"He retire," Jacob said smiling. "Now Team Twilight is the rising spectacle. Which is the reason I called. I was wondering if Bit Cloud of the Blitz Team would be willing to meet Jacob Moon of Team Twilight on the battlefield."
"Yes, he would," Bit said smiling. Then, ignoring the protesting yells from a highly irritated Doc Toros, he asked, "Where and when?"
"When and where is it most convenient for you, cousin," Jacob asked. "Twilight and I are ready and willing to meet you anywhere at any time."
"Twilight," Bit asked, confused. "Whatever happened to Midnight?"
"His reaction time was holding me back," Jacob still answered. "So I set my dear Gun Sniper aside and purchased and outfitted my new comrade and companion, Twilight. He's a König Wolf, which is something a little more my caliber."
"I've outfitted him to be the ultimate multi-purpose Zoid, much like your Liger Zero. Only I don't have to keep changing armor in order to meet each situation. That is why Twilight will beat your Liger every time we face off."
"If you think your Wolf can beat my Liger than you really are stupid," Bit said smiling. "How does a week from today at the T-37 Area sound?"
"Sounds fine to me," Jacob said, a broad smile covering his face. "I'll beat you then. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean I'll see you then."
"Great," Bit said, laughing. "I'll inform the Zoids Battle Commission."
