"Why are we going to MirageBay?" Jet wondered. The group making their way across the desert on their horses moving slowly.

"Don't you feel that we need a break?" Virginia wondered. "It's been a tiring week."

"Yes, and MirageBay is a new resort town that has opened recently and I'm rather intrigued with it. From what I hear they have dug a hole in the ground and water came up. Now there is an artificial lake there." Clive mentioned.

"Whatever, Like I care about that." Jet replied.

"Oh yeah!" Gallows shouted as he came up alongside of them. "I bet there's gonna be all sorts of stuff to do. Not to mention lots of ladies. And if you can really swim in that lake just imagine what they'll be wearing."

Jet looked away with a blush. Clive fixed his glasses. "Only you would say such a thing." Jet replied. "You do know there's a girl right there?"

"What are you getting at? Clive's no girl." Gallows asked in confusion.

"He means me!" Virginia retorted.

"Oh, well, I sort of think of you as one of the guys. You're our faithful leader after all." Gallows replied as an invisible sweat could almost be seen above his head.

"Just great," Virginia mutters. "I'm thought of as one of the guys."

Jet looks ahead. Clive clears his throat. "You know what I just remembered Jet?" Jet stared at him. "If I remember right the man who created the radio, Mr. Abneto, lives in MirageBay on his own in the sea of sand."

"What's your point?"

"Well, he is said to be the owner of The Staff of the Sky. That thing is worth thirteen million gella. The gem that is inside it's tip alone is worth five."

Jet's mouth almost watered. Thirteen million? And, there's a gem in it worth five alone? He had to get that thing. "Okay, so what are we waiting for? Let's get to this place already!" Jet rode on ahead.

"That was dirty, Clive." Virginia said with a smile.

"Why? It was the truth." Clive replied with a similar smile.

After clearing a hill the four came upon a marvelous sight. There at the edge of the continent was a lake near the shore. There was already a booming town starting beside it named the same as the bay. MirageBay The sight was unbelievable.

"This place proves that there is still such water on the planet. It is only hiding." Clive noted. "Very interesting."

"Yeah, yeah. Who cares about that? Look at this place! It looks exciting." Gallows pointed out various attractions.

"Where's the house of that guy?" Jet immediately asked. He scanned the land. "Is it that mansion on that island off the coast there?"

"It would seem so."

"I'll see you chatterboxes later than." He was cut off by Virginia. "What do you want?"

"Be careful. You know that you can sometimes end up in bad situations." She warned.

"That never happens to me." Jet said in defense. She just stared at him. "Fine, I do on occasion, but this will easy. All I have to do is find a staff. That easy."

"Maybe we should set up some sort of plan." Clive mentioned. "Why don't you just go on ahead to scout the area for the moment Jet? You will find the staff's location and return to us. That way we can work as a team to get it and the risk is not so great."

"Whatever." He looked to the lowering sun. "I'll wait until night. I'm going to have to find a way to get to that island though. Why didn't we take the Sandcraft?" He looked around the town.

"I think the sand will be shallow enough for you to cross on foot." Clive announced.

"That just makes it better then." Jet could see the money in his eyes. Thirteen million gella.

"Well, good luck with that. I'm going to go sightseeing." Gallows waved and left the three.

"Yes, I will look up more info on the Staff. If you need me Jet, just use the radio that connects you to the Inn. I will be there." Clive left the remaining two.

"Don't get yourself killed. It will be on my head as the leader." Virginia warned and rode off after the other two.

The moon hung low over the lands lighting them with a pale white light. The two-story mansion that Abneto had built was more wide than high. Though, the roof was about thirty feet above the ground. Luckily the sand was soft below. There was a basement too. Though Jet did not care. He had scaled the wall and had landed on the roof. From what he saw earlier there was a way in through here where there was ventilation. Why don't compounds ever protect their ventilation shafts better? All the 'good guys' always seem to go in through them easily.

"Heh. Too easy." Jet comments as he does a crouched run across the roof. "Wha?" One of his scarves was snagged on a piece of roofing. "Ah, shit!" His footing was lost and he took a fall off the side of the roof where he was standing at the time. Landing right on his side. He was lucky the ground was soft after all. When he finally got the air back in himself he let out, "Ow." A twig from some odd bush was digging into his back. "Damnit! I gotta…" He went to stand and felt a pain in his leg. He sprained it? "Shit!"

Suddenly lights along the outside turn on and he is blinded. "A burglar?" When he gained his sight back Jet was before a young woman his age with white hair that was curly. Her dress was purple over black. A headband keeping her hair back. His breath was lost again for an entirely different reason. The way the light shone behind her he almost took her as an angel.

"N-No! I mean…I'm Daine Aznabel. No burglar." He defended.

Alongside of the first woman came a second younger girl with red hair. Tied into two big tails wearing a sky blue dress and blouse. "Hiya Daine! I', Ruby, and this is my older sister Aura."

"Ruby!" The white haired one scolded. "He may still be a thief."

"I-I'm not!" Jet defended. "I have business with your father. I want to talk to him."

"Maybe so…but I'll keep my eyes on you."

"You can do as you wish…I have nothing to hide from eyes that look as beautiful as that lake." Jet then mentally cursed. He said that? He was thinking it sure, but he said it? He felt ridiculous.

"Urm…I…Come this way Daine." Aura replied with a fidget and walked away in a rush. Ruby took Jet's hand and stared at his face.

"Uh, what is it?" He wondered.

"Nothing. Did you know that you were cute?"

"Uh…no…I suppose not." He replied nervously.

"Mr. Aznabel!" He looked to Aura up ahead. "Don't dawdle."

"It's…uh…Daine." He stands from the ground fully and his leg gives out under him. "Ah, I must've, sprained it."

Aura rushed over to him. "Oh dear. Ruby please go find father and the maid."

"Right." With that the red-haired one departed as Aura looked at his leg.

"Can you stand if I help you?" He simply nodded. The two stood up as he put half his weight on her. "However did you hurt yourself?"

"I…uh…slipped as I was coming up this way and I fell in the bushes. I can…uh…be clumsy at times." He lied.

She simply smiled at him. "I think I'll like you. You seem like you'll make things interesting."

"Uh…I think so too."

"So, you have come to see me?" At the far end of the extravagant dining hall table sat Mr. Abneto. A man in his older years with hair that has since become as gray as Jet's. His style being a suit and tie. A groomed moustache worn on his face. Between him and Jet sat Aura and Ruby on the two sides of the table. Food placed in front. A painting of a woman was hung on the wall. A woman who Jet deduced as the departed Mrs. Abneto.

"Uh, right…I…have a question for you. It covers your field of specialty. Radios." Jet was glad he remembered that Clive said that much.

"Go on." Mr. Abneto insisted.

"Well…uh…do you believe that by using radio waves we can map the world? Find things we could not before? Like, as if using the waves as a radar?" Jet questioned. That was the best he had at such short notice.

"That's a hard one to answer." Mr. Abneto confirmed. "I believe that it is possible. It would help those who are explorers."

Aura moved forward in her chair and looked to Jet. "Are you an explorer, Daine?"

"Uh…you could say that. I have done my share of travels across Filgaia."

"Does that mean you have one of those sandcrafts?" Ruby wondered. Hanging onto every word.

"Uh, yeah…I sort of co-own one you could say."

"So, you journey with others?" Mr. Abneto questioned.

"Uh, yeah…unfortunately." They raised their eyebrows. "Uh, I mean they can be a handful sometimes." He gives a fake laugh.

"So then…I guess you will be on your way now?" Aura wondered in a soft voice.

"No, I probably shouldn't with my leg hurt. I'll take that offer you presented earlier and stay the night."

"Let me show you your room then!" Ruby announced as she stood up and grabbed Jet pulling him away from the table.

"But…I wasn't done!" Jet said to no avail.

"Damn, I can't believe I made that dumb of a mistake." Jet cursed. Not only had he fallen off the roof and put himself in front of the 'enemy', he had also dropped his Aigert-Lahm B/V2 on the roof. No good to him there. From his room he opens the window and looks up to the roof. He was on the second story in one of the guest rooms. He could easily reach the end of the roof and pull himself up. "I guess I gotta go and get it."

"Where is he?" Virginia muttered as she paced back and forth in the room at the Inn. "I mean, shouldn't he have tracked it down by now? He has that radar of his."

"He may have been caught…" Clive mentioned which caused her to pause and tighten up.

"You better hope not." She glared.

"You guys won't believe what I just saw." Gallows announced as he burst into the room. "I just saw those other guys. Y'know, the Schoredners or something like that. The girl with messed up powers and the guy with the afro. The boy who keeps throwing bombs at us. Not to mention that weird cat thing."

"What are they doing here?" Virginia wondered.

Something was recalled by Clive. "The Staff that Jet wants. What was it I said was in the tip of it?"

"A gem worth-A gem!"

"And that girl does love her gems." Gallows mutters.

"I have to go find Jet!" Virginia decided. "I'm going right away." With that she ran out of the room.

"I probably should have told her that had Jet been found he probably would go covert and act as someone totally different." Clive mentioned. Instead of worrying about it he turned his attention back to his research on the Staff of the Sky.

Authors Note: Hello! If you're reading this, I thank you of course. If you're a returning reader, thanks a lot. I've decided to invest in this medium of Wild ARMS fanfiction. Although, so far I have no ideas for ones regarding the first two. Maybe if I play the first one over again as Alter Code F I will get a new idea.

Anyway, I set up a C2 community that involves just Wild ARM fanfiction. Any of the games, show, or comic. So, if you want you can e-mail me and I'll add you to it. It would be cool I would think. I call it Memories of Filgaia. It makes sense in lots of ways that I will not go into.

By-the-by, I do not own the rights to anything regarding Wild ARMs. This story itself, as is Overgrown, is based on my own story, so I own this story.

Anyway, read and review.
