   The Babylon Rogues' ship hovered above a military base. Due to it's state-of-the-art technology, the military satellites were unable to detect them. They were hovering above the base's airstrip. There were bunkers everywhere.
"What makes you think he'll come here, Jason?"
"It's the only one around that makes machine parts."
"So, you think if Mekka is making a machine, he'll eventually come here for some parts?" asked Blaze.
"It's possibility." said Jason. He looked over at Wave. She looked out the window for a couple more seconds then turned around and started to leave the room. Jason caught up with her. "Wave?" said Jason.
"Yeah?" said Wave, turning around. "What is it?"
"I was just wondering... how did you recover so fast?"
"I'm not really sure myself. It doesn't matter though, does it? I mean, aren't you glad I'm okay?"
"Well, yeah. Of course. I couldn't be more happy. But..."
"Isn't that enough, then?" asked Wave, cutting him off. "Knowing I'm okay?"
"Yeah, I guess." said Jason. "It's still pretty odd."
"We'll figure it out later. Right now, we have to worry about stopping Mekkaku."
"Yeah. You're right, Wave." said Jason.
Wave smiled. "It's nice to see you so concerned about me. I remember when I was all alone and I had to fend for myself. It wasn't easy, but I pulled through. The whole time I was alone, I didn't think I'd meet anybody quite like you, Jason."
"That's exactly how I felt, too." said Jason. "I can pretty much guarantee that I'd never meet anyone like you. But I did. I didn't know what to think at first. It was kind of weird when I first saw you. Of all the science classes I attended while going school, not one said anything about talking birds."
"Well, as you may have noticed, there's a lot of things that scientists don't even know about, let alone science teachers." said Wave.
"True. Like a robot who can think for itself. Or talking animals. Or... superpowers."
"Mmm." said Wave. "Well," she finally said. "At least you don't have to worry about school now."
"Yeah. One of few perks of being a hero."
"You're no hero yet, Jason. You still have to defeat Mekkaku."
"Well, I have a feeling that that's going to be one tough fight to win."
"I know you can do it, Jason. I have faith in you."
"As I, you."
"Warning! Enemy detected in vicinity!" said the ship's computer. Wave and Jason looked up at the loudspeaker on the top part of the wall. "5 meters and closing!"
Jason and Wave looked at each other again. "Mekka." said Jason. "He's here."
