Location: Desert (about 120 miles east of the Blitz's Team Base)

01:00 Hours (1:00am) Monday May 11, 2830AD

Vincent sat in the passengers set of the Jeep, The mission is so far going without any problem, his new gundam is on the flatbed behind them covered with a sheet, and the Half-Track is to the right, the 4 mobile suits are flanking them (2 on each side). It been 3 hours since they landed, and they haven't seen anything.

"God Damn it hot," Petty Officer Third Class Drek Gon (he was in the Drivers set of the jeep)

"Yeah, but we have to keep going east until we get out of this damn desert," Vincent said.

"Hey Vincent any idea on how big this desert is," Lieutenant Junior Grade Mitch Gordon asked over the radio?

Vincent picked up the radio receiver "No idea, I guess we just have to wait and see," he said.

4 hours later 05:00 Hours (5:00am)

Vincent decided to give his team and the vehicles a brake. They set up desert camo tents to hind the vehicles, and too have a place to stay out of the hot desert sun.

"Man it feels good being in Earth-like gravity again" Vincent said.

"Yeah, that the bad thing about Military ships is that the grav generators are set to 2x Earth's gravity, but we didn't join up because we love to travel in luxury," Mitch said.

"Well I joined because of Mobile Suits, there soooo Cool," Ensign Vash Ryuzen said, as he was putting together his Mobile Suits Models.

"Man, Vash why did you bring those Models with you," Vincent asked?

"Because I haven't put these ones together, man you're lucky they gave you that cool Gundam" He replied.

"Ok whatever, Well move out in an hour," Vincent said.

"Yes Sir," everyone replied to him.

"Sir, We just got a report from the Lion's Craw, their sending a sandcrawler," Petty Officer Second Class Taylor Rosenberg said.

"A Sandcrawler, where the hell did they get a Sandcrawler," Vincent asked?

"Well, to tell the truth I have no Idea, but I think they might of put it in the one cargo bay that they have free," Taylor said.

"Well when is the ETA (estimated time of arrival)," Vincent asked?

"In about an hour," Taylor said.

"Guess he have to wait, it wouldn't be the best way to travel but it way better than traveling like this," Vincent said.

He got out of bed and got dressed.

Location: Desert (About 90 miles east of the Blitz's Team Base)

09:20 Hours (9:20am)

The Light Transport turned on it cloaking device, and took off back to the Lion's Craw, Leaving the Sandcrawler behind.

"So this is what a Sandcrawler looks like," Taylor said.

"Yup, it may not be the nicest way to travel, but it is a lot better than just a jeep, a flatbed, and a Half-Track, also sleeping in tents," Vincent said.

"The good thing about this is that it has a cloaking device, but we should have the jeep out just incase someone found us on some type of radar and so when they come looking for us we just cloaked the crawler and just have the jeep, Oh yeah we have to get rid off that flatbed" Taylor said.

"I have an idea, well we should get loaded up," Vincent said.

They started loading the Mobile Suits, the Gundam, and the Half-Track; Vincent "tested" his Gundam's Double Beam Cannon on the flatbed vaporizing it.

"So that you're Idea Vincent," Taylor asked?

"Well, ummmm, yeah, I just want to see what this baby could do." Vincent said.

"Well I guess we don't have to worry about that anymore," Mitch said, Laughing a little.

"Yeah, I'll get the Gundam loaded up, and look around this Sandcrawler," Vincent said.

"What is it Jamie," Brad asked?

"Well, it weird I was looking at the Radar last half a hour, and there was this big object that appeared out of nowhere, about 90 miles east of here, then that it started to move west then disappeared, but where it was there was an other big object not as big as before, but still big, then that disappeared, Now there's a small object, about the size of a jeep," He said.

"So, should we investigate," Brad asked?

"Hey Doc," Jamie said.

"Huh," The Doc said looking away from his models.

"Well were picking up something on Radar," Jamie said.

"Ok have Bit and Leena go out," Doc said.

As if on Cue Leena chased Bit into the room

"Hey Bit, Leena. Get your Zoids ready, your going to investigate something," Doc Said.

"What," Bit said and stops?

But Leena didn't stop and ran into Bit, knock both of them down, They both get up at the same.

"What do you mean were going out to investigate," Leena said?

"Well, There was something on Radar about 70 miles east of here, so I decided to have you go out to find out what it is. OK?" Doc said.

"Ok, we'll go out right away, but 90 miles is pretty far away, it would take at lease a day trip," Bit said.

"Ok then take some tents, and supplies," Doc said.

The Liger Zero, and Gunsniper were locked into the docking areas as well as the other mobile suits, so they wouldn't be damaged in the storm. Vincent, Bit, and Leena were standing in front of the Liger Zero.

"Ok We got reports that this would last for about a day so you'll have to spent the night here, now we only got 5 rooms with 2 beds in them but 2 of our crew are willing to give up their room," Vincent said.

"So we'll have to share a room," Bit asked?

"Well, I could order some more to give up there room, but I'm not, Well I guess I should introduced myself, I'm Lieutenant Vincent Gerhard, I'm the commanding officer of this team."

"Well I'm Bit Cloud pilot of the Liger Zero, and part of the Blitz team."

"I'm Leena Toros I pilot that gunsniper over there," Leena said.

"Hey you said you're a Lieutenant and `the commanding officer of this team', and I have never seen any zoids like this before…" Bit started to say but was cut off by Vincent

"Well I'm from a planet called Earth…" Vincent started to say but was cut off by Bit and Leena.

"EARTH?!?!"

"Yeah, you head you it," Vincent ask?

"Yeah it an ancient legend, every on the planet Zi came form Earth," Bit said.

"Well I guess that answerers why we speak the same language," Vincent said.

"Hey, I'm going to unpack where our room," Leena asked?

"Well, go to the main hall, and take a right and it's the last door on the left," Vincent said.

"Thanks," Leena said walking to the Main Hall.

"So Bit I see you like Leena very much," Vincent said.

"WHAT, How did you know, I mean no I don't," Bit said.

"Well, I'm trained to notice things that are amiss, and I can see you haven't told her you feeling.

"Yeah, you right."

"Well, Bit I think, no I know Leena shared the same feelings."

"Really? Why haven't she told me?"

"The same reason you haven't, Bit I really think you should tell her soon."

"Why?"

"Ok, Let me tell you a tail, It was about a year ago, I met the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, but I was afraid to ask her out, then one day she left the Base I was located at, and never saw her again."

"Oh I see your point, I guess I'll tell her."
