The lights flickered on in the infirmary of the Neo-Organism's ship, as Lucia helped the injured Logia into the room. She had caught him arriving earlier, the blood running down his chest plate as she took extra care to make sure General Balcus didn't see him like this.

She sat him on the table as she took out a few wound-healing implements, slipping them inside Logia's armor as she cleaned up any blood in the room.

"That was a bold move, Logia" she told him as she worked on his wound. "But a little too bold, even for you."

Logia didn't say anything, breathing heavily as the devices helped to heal his wounds.

Lucia looked him right in the face as she worked. "Why, Logia?…You could have attacked those creatures randomly at any time you wished. Why did you attack them just now?"

Logia just shook his head and lowered it a little, just waiting for the healing to finish. "You wouldn't believe me, even if I told you, Lucia." He obviously had made some kind of discovery, but was reluctant to share it for some reason.

"Try me." Lucia simply responded, as she cleaned up the last of the blood.

Logia looked straight at her as he gave the female impactor his answer.

"I found them…"

Lucia froze, and slowly turned her head to him once more…

Meanwhile, General Balcus was standing in the main room with the Neo-Organism, wondering Where Lucia and Logia were, before the computer revealed Viras, standing right next to Doras.

"By the creator!" Balcus exclaimed. "You made this creature yourself?"

"It was a long replication process using the remains of a dead native of these lands." The Neo-Organism responded. "But she was well worth the effort."

Balcus looked at the Neo-Organism. "You mean to tell me that thing is a female?"

The Neo-Organism nodded. "Indeed she is. Viras was not only created from the remains of an earth creature, retaining all of the instinct and knowledge of this world, but being a female, the gender most experienced in the realm of creation, she is far more capable of bringing my more advanced creations to life than Doras is.

"Advanced creations?" Balcus gave the computer a funny look.

"Show him…" The Neo-Organism ordered Viras.

She growled and nodded obediently as she held her claw to her lower belly, a ball of light forming in her palm as she held her hand back out, growling as the light left her palm and floated to the floor, growing as it took another humanoid shape.

Balcus stepped back a bit and watched, as a new creature was born from the light, a large bulky humanoid figure with three horns. The Neo-Organism was obviously taking the designs of the Earth creatures and twisting them for his own purposes, as the mutant three-horn stood roaring and stomping its two legs, flexing its bulky arms as it gazed on with red glowing eyes.

Viras stood near the creature, as Doras looked on and growled in approval. Balcus, meanwhile, walked closer to the Neo-Organism and nodded, obviously impressed.

"That is quite the impressive specimen you have." He looked on at the mutant three-horn. "Do you think this one can succeed where all your other creations, including Doras, have consistently failed?"

The Neo-Organism looked back at the General confidently. "Always so eager to call my abilities into question, aren't you, General?"

The mutant growled next to Doras and Viras as the computerized vision continued. "Like Viras, this creature is made from much of the genetic material that makes up the most impressive animals that roam this planet. I am confident that its instincts and built in knowledge of the Earth will be crucial in the inevitable defeat and death of our opposition."

Balcus nodded as he heard this. "Good…the better this thing can do its job, the quicker we can put an end to this troubling conflict, and get a hold of those incredible suits once and for all."

"Speaking of suits…" The Neo-Organism spoke up. "I've been working on the information Lieutenant Lucia gave me on the destroyed Kaixa gear, and I've already managed to begin work on a prototype. Would you like to see it?"

Balcus looked over as a door suddenly opened on the side of the room, leading into a new chamber. The Impactor nodded and walked closer to the passageway from the main computer room.

"Yes, please…"

Back on the outskirts of the Valley, Rock was busy training, in his Leangle suit once more. He swung his staff right and left, still enraged from his last defeat at Kaxia's hands, not aware of the Paxerian warrior's death as he tossed a stone into the air and spun, using a new move that cleaved the hard object in two.

"Rock!" he heard a familiar voice call out, as he turned and saw Slick, who had just separated from Cera and Ali, driving towards him on his bike, waving.

Rock just nodded as he changed back into his normal form.

"Hey Slick. How'd it go with the two girls?"

Slick hopped off his bike and changed out of his Garren suit. "Oh not too bad, though a lot better than it turned out with you, apparently. What's this I'm hearing about you showing up once in the valley, and then not bothering to show up again?"

Rock grunted angrily, then sighed as he decided not to get too mad about this.

"Slick, I'm not strong enough yet. If I'm gonna go into battle and actually be a help to those I'm saving, then I need to train some more, until I AM ready."

"And how do you know when you're ready, huh?" Slick retorted. "Rock, somebody DIED after your last fight. Didn't you stop to think that the same thing might have happened again with your continuing absence?"

Rock got right in Slick's face now, upon hearing the mention of Grandma's death. "What difference is it going to make if I'm not trained well enough? You're right Slick, someone DID die in the last fight I was in, and the reason she died was because I wasn't good enough to stop it…" He turned his back on Slick and looked down, ashamed. "It was my fault she got killed, Slick. I wasn't strong enough…"

Slick sighed as he walked up next to his friend. "Rock…even the strongest of us can't stop death sometimes…you did your best, I know you did. You were always too strong and proud to do any less…. you can't let this one death deter you, Rock, or else more and more dinosaurs are going to end up just like the one you saw die. Are you about to just sit idly by and let that happen?"

Rock just sighed and began to walk away.

"Rock? Rock, where are you going?" Slick asked.

"Just leave me alone for a while, Slick." Rock said as he walked off. "I need to sort this out myself."

Slick just nodded as Rock vanished. "Ok, pal. Just don't take too long to figure out where you stand."

Back in the valley, Cera and Ali returned to hear the news about Kaixa's death, and the unusual bleeding from Logia, as they explained their meeting with Slick, and the discovery of the Neo-Organism's ship on the planet, before giving Takumi the photon amplifier that was formerly in possession of the Impactors.

"My creator, this is one impressive device." Takumi said aloud as he adjusted some wires with a few tools from his ship, while the others, including an interested Ducky, looked on.

"I always knew that Kusaka had a proficiency in engineering as well as in fighting skill, but this goes way beyond any expectations I had for him." He looked at the inner workings of the amplifier. "He must have spent months putting this thing together."

Shorty walked up a little closer to Takumi. "So, what does this thing do again?"

Takumi looked up from his work. "Well, simply put, this device adds extra power to the photon streams of a Paxerian battle suit, giving extra strength, and agility, as well as extra weapons. It can't be used for any of Prof Mochizuki's suits I'm afraid, however, with the right adjustments, I can get this to work for my Faiz gear."

Ducky immediately chimed in. "What about the Delta gear?"

Takumi chuckled a bit as he made his adjustments. "Let's not go that far yet Ducky. I'm sure I could rig it to work on Delta as well, but that's going to take some more time. And besides, you need to master using Delta in its normal form anyway before you try anything more powerful."

Ducky nodded as they all suddenly heard the noise of a motorcycle approaching. It was Garren, sitting atop his vehicle as he pulled in near the group and got off, changing back into his true form.

"Hey Slick" Ali said, greeting the young male duckbill as he nodded and smiled.

"Ah, so you're the one Ali and Cera have been telling us about." Littlefoot said, as Slick nodded.

"That would be me." The duckbill nodded as he walked past a very interested looking Ducky.

Slick just stopped a moment, and then waved to her before walking on. "Hello."

Ducky just giggled a bit as she waved and nodded, immediately taking an interest in the confident young male.

Cera then looked around, a bit curious, but not wanting to appear that way, as she addressed Slick.

"So, where's that three-horn friend of yours…Rock, I think his name was?"

Slick sighed a bit as he looked over at Littlefoot. "Oh, him…well, he's going through some rough times right now. See he blames himself for your Grandma dying."

"Well, he shouldn't…" Littlefoot responded calmly. "There wasn't anything that any of us could have done to prevent that. Grandma made a choice to stand up to Kusaka, and she accepted the consequences."

Slick nodded. "I'm sure he'll come around eventually. We just have to give him a little time."

Littlefoot nodded softly as Cera walked over to where Ali was standing.

"Hey." She addressed the longneck. "How are you holding up?"

Ali shook her head a bit. "A little disappointed. We set out to look for Doras, and once again came up empty. I mean, sure, we got that thing over there, and discovered where the enemy was hiding, but I still couldn't take my revenge for what he did to my herd."

Cera walked a bit closer to her. "Hey, buck up there…you're gonna get your shot eventually. I know this sounds a bit weird coming from me, but you've gotta be patient in these matters. Just wait for your shot, and take it. And believe me, once you do, I'm gonna be right by your side to help you do it. Because I know what it's like when someone I care about is attacked like that."

"Thanks, Cera." Ali responded as she turned to her and smiled a bit.

Meanwhile, Shorty was making a strong case for an invasion as soon as possible.

"If we know where our enemies are now, I say we just go in and hit them when they least expect it. Tear that ship down piece by piece, and put an end to this thing once and for all!"

Littlefoot shook his head. "Shorty, we haven't survived this long by underestimating our foes. If we just go in and try to kill them where they live, they're going to have a lot of different defenses against us."

Ali soon chimed in. "Not only that, but we have no real clue as to what this Neo Organism thing is capable of. Plus, the impactors have someone else helping them now."

Takumi immediately looked up from his work, very curious. "Who, Ali?"

Ali shook her head. "I never got his name. But he was big guy, very quick though, with a huge sword, and a gigantic shield. He was covered in this blueish armor."

Takumi's eyes immediately grew wide. "General Balcus…"

"You know that guy?" Cera furrowed her brow as she asked.

"Yeah." Takumi responded. "He's a decorated general who's served the Impactor planet's forces for years and years…it's a bit strange he wants to help Logia though, because there's been a fair amount of tension between those two. See, it took years for Balcus to become a general, while Logia went quickly through the ranks, and became a commander in a matter of months. Obviously there's a lot of jealousy from Balcus that's stayed to this day."

He sat for a moment, wondering what it could all mean, before something went off on his Faiz driver.

Takumi picked up the device and flipped it open to show the screen, seeing a signal that was giving off the beeping noise.

"What is it?" Ducky as asked as she stood next to Takumi.

"There's something nearby…" Takumi said as he looked at the driver. "The scanner on this thing is not too great, but this time it worked. Whatever this thing is, it's big…and looks like it has a couple of friends too."

Littlefoot nodded on as he looked, while Shorty got right up on his feet.

"Well, what are we waiting for, then? Let's go out and keep this big guy from getting any closer to the valley."

"I'll agree with you there, Shorty" Littlefoot said as he smiled.

Cera ran up and nosed Ali a bit. "Come on. Let's stop brooding about the past and look to stopping these creeps now!" She ran off as Ali nodded and smiled, following her.

Ducky picked up the Delta gear nearby, and looked down at her driver for a moment, as if still doubting her abilities somewhat, as Takumi noticed.

"Don't get lost in your thoughts at times like this." He told her. "Just act. You know what needs to be done, and you know how to do it. You're a lot stronger than others give you credit for, Ducky. Never forget that."

Ducky nodded a bit as she lowered the driver, before Slick took her by the hand and smiled.

"Come on." He told her. "We musn't keep our allies waiting." Ducky giggled a bit as she followed.

As this was going on, General Balcus was watching a screen in the main room as a door opened, and Lucia walked in, looking to her left and right.

"Good afternoon Lieutenant." The General nodded to her, before looking around to find someone missing. "Where is the commander?"

"I'm not sure…" Lucia responded. "I went to check on him in his quarters earlier, and he wasn't there…I thought maybe he was with you."

General Balcus shook his head. "He hasn't been with me for some time."

Lucia suddenly turned her head to a window, before gasping as if she had just thought of something, and ran off towards the entrance.

"Oh lord, no!" she shouted, as she ran out the exit.

"Lieutenant!" Balcus shouted. "Just where do you think you're going?"

He was about to pursue the female impactor further, before something caught his eye, making him stop. He leaned down and saw something smeared on the hall's floor tiles below, a stain of blood, which Lucia had not seen, from when Logia was brought into the infirmary.

Balcus took some of the blood onto his fingers and rubbed it a bit.

"What the hell is going on, here?"…

Time passed, and everyone, save for Takumi, who was still making adjustments to the amplifier, had transformed, each going splitting up in an attempt to surround the approaching creatures.

Littlefoot drove along in his Agito suit on his bike, threading himself through some rock walls, before sensing something and coming to a stop at a clearing.

Agito looked to his left and to his right...he definitely sensed something, but it wasn't what Takumi had detected. He turned and instinctively ducked as a blast of energy shot past his head, nearly hitting him as it blew up on some rocks nearby!

The warrior quickly rose and rolled out of the way of another shot, which nearly grazed his side as it blew up some more rocks near the valley wall!

Agito quickly collected himself as he saw a shadow forming in the dust from the explosions, moving towards him.

"What do you want?" Agito asked the figure, which came out of the dust to reveal the form of Commander Logia.

"Your head on my mantle…" Logia simply responded.

Agito just looked at the Impactor, confused. "Why me?" he asked. "Out of all the others who have these suits, why are you so eager to fight me?"

Logia just looked down for a moment, almost shaking as if the most terrible thought in the world, before looking back up at Agito and breathing heavily.

"You turned her against me!"

Agito furrowed his brow under his helmet. "What?"

Logia growled. "Don't play dumb with me! You know very well what happened all those years ago!"

Agito put up his hands. "I honestly have no idea what you're talking about!"

"You lie!" Logia roared out, before extending the blade from his wrist and charging Agito!

As this happened, all the other warriors approached the targets in their suits, finding Doras standing with Viras, as the mutant three horn roared, standing ahead of them.

"Look at the size of that thing!" Slick shouted in his Garren suit.

Ali nodded in her Chalice suit. "And look who's with it…Doras!" She immediately readied her bow as Cera, in her Blade suit, got a good look at Viras.

"There's something else standing next to him…It's just as big and ugly!"

Ducky looked to her right and left, in full Delta gear now. "Hey, where's Littlefoot?"

Her question was answered when the group was distracted by an explosion nearby.

Gillis shook his head. "I guess he's occupied right now."

Blade revved up her bike. "Well, what of it? We've still got a job to do, even if he's been distracted from his own. We've gotta keep these things from getting into the valley! Our families are depending on us!"

Blade charged towards the mutant three-horn on her bike as Gillis and Chalice nodded to each other softly, and charged on with her, as Garren gently held Delta's hand, and nodded to her before driving off to join her, as Delta took off after him.

Blade yelled out in rage as she faced down the mutant, which charged right towards her on the bike, and knocked her off it with its horns as she went flying onto the ground!

Gillis and Chalice immediately pulled up on their bikes, as Delta got off and ran over to Blade's side, helping her back up as Gillis roared and leaped into the air, extending his tendrils as the mutant got a hold of them, throwing him into Chalice before she could launch an arrow at it!

As Delta was helping Blade, Garren whipped out his gun and aimed at Viras, who blocked every shot with a right forearm that seemed to be made of metal. She growled as she suddenly launched a hidden dual laser cannon on her shoulders, the blast knocking Garren back several feet as Delta gasped, taking out her own blaster and firing as a few hits scored, knocking Viras back as Doras stepped in, sending a scattershot with his own shoulder laser, which exploded around Delta as she fell down for a moment, prompting Blade to yell out and pull out her sword as she ran towards Doras and swung it, slashing though sections of his body as he snarled in pain, taking an energy arrow in the back too as he turned and saw Chalice standing behind him.

As this was going on, Agito was still engaged in a fierce duel with Logia, who was as relentless in his attacks as ever, taking numerous swipes with his blade as he'd nic his armor every now again as Agito ducked and avoided the weapon. He then pulled out both his sword and double bladed staff, changing to the red and blue armor of Trinity form once more, as he used his sword to catch Logia's blade, and the swung the staff below him, putting an impressive slash in Logia's lower stomach as sparks flew!

Logia fell back and grunted as Agito looked down, and once again saw blood leaking from his armor. Logia growled a bit in pain as he slowly got back onto his feet and clutched his wound.

"Takumi tells me that Impactors don't bleed." Agito told the Commander as he stood there, just looking back at Agito and not answering. "If that's true, then why is it that you do?"

Logia just took out his gun once more and breathed heavily. "I'm not going to tell you anything about me that you didn't have the decency to remember in the first place!" He then fired his gun once more as Agito blocked the shot with his staff, making it ricochet and hit Logia in the chest plate! Logia roared out in pain as he fell onto his back.

"What?" Agito asked aloud. "What is it that I'm not remembering? Please make some sense!"

Logia grunted and got back onto his feet, not saying a word as he readied his gun again. Agito got into a fighting stance once more, before something suddenly shot out from the right, a series of laser blasts hitting Logia as he yelled out in pain and rolled onto the ground again!

Agito turned to see General Balcus standing with his shield extended, having just fired the gun hidden inside of it, while Lucia, who he caught up with on the way, stood there shaking her head, reluctantly going along with the General.

He watched as Logia grunted and got back to his feet, staring at the General. "What is the meaning of this? How dare you attack me!"

Balcus took a hold of Logia's arm. "Sir, sometimes a General's job is to step in when he thinks the Commander is not stable enough to continue doing his duty. This, obviously, is one of those times, Commander!"

"Let go of me!" Logia shouted, as he struggled with the general, who took a firm hold of Logia, and transported away with him, as Lucia sighed, and transported with them.

Agito looked up, very confused now. "What in the world is going on?"…

Meanwhile, all the warriors turned their attention to the mutant three-horn as it roared and charged around the area, knocking away anyone in its way as Delta took out her gun and fired standing next to Garren with his gun, both firing as the combined firepower knocked the mutant back a bit, as Chalice spun and fired a spread shot of energy arrows, which smashed into the mutant as it roared and charged towards her, before Blade stepped in and charged up energy in her arm, firing a bolt of it from her sword as the mutant took a hit, while Gillis leapt in and growled as he transformed into "Exceed Gillis" mode, his bulkier form manifesting as the extra blades appeared on his body, swinging them everywhere as he pushed the mutant back, only to be met by the ruthless laser blasts of both Doras and Viras, which soon went around smashing into everyone!

Blade grunted as she was pushed back. "This is getting really tough to keep up! I wish Littlefoot were here, we could use one more warrior!"

As soon as she said that, the ground suddenly shook, and the mutant took notice with the other two creatures. They all turned to see Rock in his Leangle suit, having just caused another tremor with his staff!

"Rock!" Garren yelled out to his friend. "You came back!"

Leangle nodded gently. "I've had enough of brooding over what's already been done. I want to make the future safer for everyone still living!"

With that, Leangle leapt into action, swinging his powerful staff as he took on both Doras and Viras, kicking Doras away as he slashed at Viras with the blades on his weapon. Viras grabbed him by the neck for a moment, but was soon repelled by Garren as he took out his gun and fired at Viras, causing her to let go as everyone else was keeping the mutant at bay.

It was then that another figure drove onto the scene on his bike…it was Takumi, in his Faiz gear as he looked over at the group.

"Every day, they keep pulling out new weapons on us." He shook his head as he looked out at the mutant, and Viras standing with Doras. "It's about time we beat these guys at their own game."

With that, he took out the photon amplifier, and removed the Faiz driver, slipping it into the device. A voice called out "AWAKENING…" as he pressed a power-on button on the side. "STANDING BY…" before re-entering the code: 555, then pressing enter. "COMPLETE."

A new transformation occurred, as the Faiz suit gained some extra bulk, the mostly black coverings over the metal armor turning red as part of the device came off and turned into a powerful rifle, attaching the other section to his back as it formed a rocket pack, taking off into the air!

Everyone was stunned as they turned to see Faiz in his new "Axcel form" as he flew over and fired some rapid shots from his rifle, pushing back Doras and Viras as Leangle helped fight them off, making them retreat as Faiz turned his attention to the mutant, turning a switch on the rifle, which the Faiz driver was inside of, as the familiar "READY" was heard, before he pressed enter on the number pad on the rifle. "EXCEED CHARGE"

Faiz then fired a single shot, which hit the mutant, and created a strong energy field that kept it from running away, holding it there, as he yelled out and flew over on his jet pack, picking up speed as put his arms at his side and aimed himself right for the mutant's middle…

Everyone watched in awe as Faiz suddenly shot right through the creature's middle, creating a huge gaping hole in its midsection! The Mutant just stumbled and choked as it stood there, before finally falling forward onto the ground, exploding!

Faiz landed and turned to the rest of the group, holding his rifle as he looked at them all.

"Well…you should all be thankful I'm such an efficient repair man." He smiled under his helmet as the others chuckled and then applauded their ally, while Garren went over and patted Leangle on the back, as the two nodded to each other.

As this was going on, back on the ship, an angered Logia was walking into a room, with Balcus and Lucia behind him.

"I appreciate your concern, General, but I know what I'm doing!" the commander stated firmly as he turned to face Balcus.

"Oh, I'm sure you do…" Balcus nodded softly, looking to Lucia. "I'm sure you BOTH do!"

Lucia put her hands on her sides. "What is THAT supposed to mean, General?"

Balcus sighed for a moment…he felt it was better to just show them as he showed his glove, with the blood on it he discovered earlier. "I found this out in the hallway earlier…I ran it through a scanner, and do you know what it told me?…it told me that this blood came from YOU!" he pointed a finger at Logia. "Now why is that?"

Logia didn't say anything as Lucia tried to speak up. "General, are you sure that scanner is-"

"And you!" Balcus was now pointing at Lucia. "You, I just can't figure out…You prove your abilities as a leader and quality fighter again and again, yet 5 times now, 5 TIMES, you have been offered an advance in rank, and you've rejected each offer…No impactor is that humble without a reason, not even you, Lieutenant. So something's telling me that there's more to this than meets the eye!"

Lucia nodded softly. "You're very perceptive, General. I've rejected every offer for advancement, because I do not want to be separated from Logia."

"But why?" Balcus asked, puzzled. "You've shown such devotion to him, yet you two have never committed as a couple. You've never performed the bonding ceremony. Plus, that still leaves us with the issue as to why Logia can bleed like an organic…I already know he's a sypher (A military model impactor built without government consent), but now I know there's more to his existence than that…much more."

Lucia just nodded gently and sighed as she heard all of this, realizing there was no point in trying to hide all this from him anymore.

"Again, you're very perceptive General, and it's clear you're not going to leave us alone until you understand, and share in our secret."

Logia stood there watching as Lucia nodded over to him. "Logia…show him…"

"Show me what?" General Balcus asked, turning around.

Logia nodded gently as he reached up to his head, reaching for a few hidden switches, and flicking them up around his helmet. A hissing sound was heard as Logia flipped up the last switch, reaching to the top part of his helmet, and pulling on it, as the bulk of it soon separated from the bottom part that connected to the rest of him, revealing another head underneath…

Balcus looked on in absolute shock as Logia pulled his helmet away, revealing the face of an adolescent longneck beneath it! The face was somewhat similar to Littlefoot's, but was horribly scarred in a few places, respirator tubes hooked into his nose as wires were jacked into the flesh on his now shortened neck, breathing comfortably as he stared at general Balcus, his ghostly gaze piercing him.

All General Balcus had for a response was "My lord…"

Lucia looked on and broke the silence again. "General, this is Logia…the real Logia…"

Logia just looked on at the two, not saying a word…
