After a little while of chasing Nanu, and calming down, we sat for while and chatted. "So, what brings you here, anyway, Nina?" Nanu asked me. "I came to fight Zoa. To get my revenge for him killing me." I say. "Revenge? Z wouldn't hurt a fly." He said. "Z?" I ask. "Yeah. That's Zoa. He's a nice kid. He wouldn't hurt a fly, much less kill someone." He told me. "The Zoa you're talking about must be a different Zoa that who I'm talking about." I say. "Oh, was he in his HDD?" Nanu asked. "I think so. I never saw his normal form." I say. "Hm. Well, maybe you should just talk to him. I'm sure you guys can work it out." Mecha said. "Hm... Maybe... I'll try it." I tell her. "Great. Well, we should be going now. I have to tend to Nanu's wounds." Mecha said, and helped him up. The two started walking again, and left for their home in Mega Dimension. Once they were gone, and walk around again to find Zoa.

Eventually, I saw him overlooking a table in a totally clean Basilicom. I'm surprised he pulled off this while thing in just a matter of days. I walk up to him, and speak up. "Hey." I say to him, and he turns around. He wears glasses, and a blue business suit, with very calm looking hair. It was very normal, other than the color, which was a blueish silver hair. His hair was done in a normal fashion, not wild. It was just a wave that drooped down the side of his face. A few strands were in his face, but I don't think he cared. "Oh, hello. I wasn't expecting you to be here so early." He spoke. His voice was just as weird as his HDD's. His British accent did sound good though. "I came to get my revenge." I said. "So you did... Listen, I'm sorry about that. I was...desperate..." He said. "Why are you trying to rebuild Tari?" I asked. "The reason is obvious. I want to get my chance to rule it. Tari ended before my sister could resign, so I never got my chance. Also, I want to make peace with the other nations. I just want friends... I can understand if you can't forgive me. But still, I want to ask if we can make peace." He says. I want to believe him. I really do. But I need proof. "Fight me." I said. He looks up at me, confused. "Pardon?" He asked. "Fight me. I want to see if what you said is true. I need to see your conviction to this goal." I say, and I grab my Fujin Yumi. Zoa nods, and transforms. "Okay. I'm ready." He says. I nod, and make the move.

First, I test his reflexes, and shoot three arrow at him. The arrows bounce of the wall, and fly straight at him from multiple directions. Of course, Zoa managed to grab them all, and they disappeared. I transform and start another attack, using the arrow ball to put him in a corner. As if in slow motion, he dodged all the arrows that came at him, and threw a black rod at me. I'm surprised those things can even fly, seeing how heavy they are. I block the flying rod, and fly outside to get more room for battle. Zoa follows me, and uses his staff to attack next. I bring up my bow, and ready an arrow. He moves away before I can shoot it, so it just kinda flew off somewhere. Now that I have him at close range, I move my right arm to my back, and materialize a sword, cutting at his cheek. He was surprised by this secret weapon. "I didn't know you could wield a sword." He said to me. "I had someone help me." I tell him.

Soleil's perspective

"ACHOO!" I sneeze suddenly. "Are you okay, Soleil?" My girlfriend, Kona, asked me. "Yup. I'm fine." I replied. "That sneeze. Nina must be praising me. There's no other way to explain it." I thought to myself.

Back to Nina

After an hour of fighting, I could see Zoa was serious about rebuilding Tari. Very serious. I was about to stop the fight, when the arrow I shot an hour ago can back around and hit Zoa in the back. He yelps in surprise, and his HDD was deactivated. He started to fall toward the ground, and I swoop down to get him. "Ow... I wasn't expecting that..." He muttered as I landed on the ground. "Guess this means I lost." He said. "You did good. So, as such, I agree to allow you to rebuild Tari." I say to him. "Really?! You mean that?!" Zoa asked happily. "Yep. Go for it. Hell, I'll help you out." I offer him. "You would?! That would be most appreciated, thank you!" He says, and bows. "No prob. Guess I had you all wrong." I say. "Sorry." I apologize. "Don't be. I didn't make a very good first impression myself. The apology is mutual." He says. I smile, and call Emi. "Emi. Can you send over a team of some of Lowee's best construction workers?" I asked. "Yeah, why?" She replied over the phone. "Tari is being rebuilt, and we need all the help we can get." I tell her. I couldn't tell, but she was probably smiling on the other side of the phone. "You got it!" She confirms, and hangs up the phone. "Alright. Let's get started. I say to Zoa, and he nods in agreement.
