Hm…Let's see what I can think up for this one…

--

Ed yelled in surprise but was too worn-out to do anything. He felt as if he were being squeezed to death. Ed was in such pain from being man-handled right after harshly battling Spyker that he didn't even stop to consider that this robot was much bigger than Spyker.

The robot, apparently sensing Ed's distress, gently put him down onto the ground and took a step back to give him air.

Ed slowly turned around to face his 'attacker' and gasped. "Zero!" Then, his happiness disappeared and he backed away some. "Wait…Did Dad send you, too?"

Z3R0 gave him a strange look, and then shook his head. Ed let out his breath and smirked, looking at the Riot Bot happily. "Maybe this could work out after all…" He picked up his slammer that had fallen when he was lifted from the ground moments before and patted it in his hand thoughtfully.

After a few more moments, the two heard a small sizzling sound coming dangerously closer to them.

"Oh no, Spyker!" Ed mumbled under his breath. Then his confidence returned as he looked back at the larger robot. "Zero, would you mind doing me a little…favor?"

The robot smiled and nodded its head in understanding. Ed smirked. "Great! Now, you know Spyker, right?" Another nod, slower this time. "I need you to take him out for me. He's the reason I'm so banged up right now."

The Riot Bot nodded once more and ran around the corner to find Spyker. Ed chased after him to watch the show. By the time he reached the other side of the garbage pile, Spyker was already trying to get past Z3R0 in attempt at getting at Ed.

Ed took this time to power up in his red and black courier outfit. You know, just in case this fight made a turn for the worst.

He slowly made his way over to a perched up hover-car and leaned against it, making sure he was still far away from Spyker and Z3R0's fight. He let himself slide to the ground and his eyelids drooped a little—the force of the fight finally getting to him. He winced a little as he shifted position. There was no way he was going to let himself pass out. Not now.

Ed shook his head and looked back over to where the two robots were now commenced in a fight.

So far, Z3R0 has managed to only do very minimal damage considering his size and his weapons. This made Ed nervous. If Z3R0 couldn't beat Spyker, he doubted he could.

Spyker jumped and slashed at the Riot Bot's supposedly impenetrable armor with his one arm, slicing right through to the wires inside. Z3R0 managed to take Spyker by his body and slam his against the ground where many more dangerously haywire wires came undone. The smaller robot started attacking in random directions, whether they were near Z3R0 or not.

Spyker's vision was now disabled.

It was almost funny, Ed thought, watching the powerful robot lash out blindly in random directions. But finally Spyker was able to gain control of himself and slow to a stop to listen.

Z3R0 didn't catch what he was doing and charged. At the last second, Spyker leapt over the Riot Bot, turned around in mid-air, then screeched his claws down Z3R0's back, showing more wires.

The Dojo couriers, who were close by and watching this entire thing, and Ed, who was still unsure on who would win this fight, had to cover their ears from the sound.

When Ed finally opened his eyes, he noticed Spyker tripping the highly slowed-down Z3R0. Even with his newfound blindness, Spyker could still hear the large clompy robot's every movement.

Z3R0 slowly stood and started to charge toward Spyker again, but was majorly slowed down.

"What's wrong with him?" Loogie asked.

"Z3R0's motor skills are shot. Spyker hit a few essential wires." Fizz explained. Everyone nodded numbly, just as confused on how Spyker was still winning this fight.

Ed nodded too, hearing Fizz's explanation. He was staring at the robots. But something was starting to slowly replace his fear—excitement. He couldn't explain it. But for some reason, he no longer wished for either robot to win or lose, merely for them to fight. This all amused him.

A smile slowly crept across his face.

Deets caught sight of Ed smiling and was about to ask him why he was so happy, when a thought struck her mind and something in the pit of her stomach ached.

"No…" The smile on Ed's face was almost an exact replica of one you would find on Bedlam's.

Ed's smile quickly disappeared as another vision entered his head. Deets caught this too and got tapped the other couriers.

"Guys, look!" Deets exclaimed pointing to the now blue-eyed boy with his eyes shot wide open staring into space.

"What's wrong with him?" Fizz asked, amazed.

"I think…" Burn thought back to something he remembered hearing Ol' Skool say, "I think he's having a vision,"

"What?!"

"Just wait and watch, guys…" Burn answered, looking back to his warped friend. He sincerely hoped this meant what he though it did.

Ed, clad in his blue couriers outfit, blueblack hair, and blue eyes, was in the park. Sitting on the bench was a green-suited boy with black hair and green eyes, a puppet on his hand. The black-haired boy's head seemed to be growing larger and larger.

Ed and the brown-eyed courier from before enter the Dojo and walk up to Fizz, Deets, and the green-suited courier. The place is a place. The boy holds up a candy bar and tons of hover-squirrels come through the vents and attack.

In the last scene, Ed and the others are standing outside. Burn and the green-suited courier are fighting. A bunch of clowns pull up and the puppet-handed boy races to them. Ed frowns and tries to stop him. "Wait, Loogie!"

"Hey, I think he's snapping out of it!" Fizz pointed out. Ed shook his head, blinked twice, and his eyes returned back to red. He merely frowned and looked back to the robot fight, awkwardly realizing that the Dojo couriers were watching him.

Though every few seconds, he glanced at their familiar faces.
