Authors note: Right, this is my first fic so please go easy on the reviews OK? My character Faith doesn't really exist I made her up. Please excuse anything that is not correct, I've only seen the last six or seven episodes of the Bit and Liger series. Please inform me of my mistakes. Thanks.
Chapter One: The Mystery Pilot
Liger Zero left large foot prints in the hot, desert sand as he continued further and further away from the Hover cargo. Bit had volunteered to go out to hunt for some fresh water, as there supplies were getting low and it was a very hot day.
" Do you think we've been out long enough for the others to actually think that we've been looking for water?" Bit asked his Liger, " I reckon you've been walking for hours and it's boiling hot out here!"
Liger responded with a roar of disagreement.
" What do you mean no???!!" Bit roared twice as loud as his Liger. " Who cares if you don't get a morning, mid day and night wash down??!!"
Liger gave a low growl as if to say: Me, of course you dimwit, half brain of a pilot!
" Liger if we don't turn around now I swear I shall faint with lack of descent air conditioning......"
Liger gave no responds and continued across the desert sand without even a flinch in the other direction.
" Liger!!!" Bit tried to turn Liger around using the controls, but Liger stubbornly resisted. " Rrrrr.........."
Liger lifted his head proudly, he'd won that one and now he might get a bit of piece......
" Liger.........." Bit weakly breathed, " .....Please.......turn............."
....Or not. Liger smirked inwardly. No way- hozay!
Suddenly Liger sensed something and stopped abruptly.
" What is it boy?" Bit immediately jumped out of his I'm - dying - feel - sorry - for- me - and - turn - round - Liger pose.
He looked down at the monitor. It showed nothing. He could only see the sand spraying in funny directions- probably due to the wind.
" I don't see anything boy....." Bit leaned back, then smiled widely, " See? Lack of air conditioning is getting to you too, come on let's turn back already........"
Liger looked around still. He was sure something was out there, watching him, but he too saw nothing.
" You can have I wash down!" Bit urged.
Liger slowly turned around and began to head back, but before he had moved more than ten metres he sensed it again and stopped.
Bit looked around carefully. No...only sand. Suddenly, as Bit carefully eyed the sand, something caught his eye. It was the way the sand was moving. It looked as if four large feet were running about in the sand, scuffing it in all directions, like a zoid was running across the sand which couldn't be seen or leave footprints. But no zoid was in the area, according to the monitor, not for kilometers around, only Liger and those back at the Hover cargo, no others.
It soon appeared to be circling around Liger, throwing sand on his feet, teasing, taunting. Liger lashed out to his left but connected with nothing. He roared in aggravation. It circled faster and faster until a mini sand storm started to whip up around them, preventing Liger from moving. Growling, Liger looked left and right, but could only see the sand whirling around him. Where was their attacker?
" This doesn't look good does it? Can you jump through it?" Bit asked nervously, but he knew the answer as soon as the words had left mouth. No. The space left around them was far to small for Liger to jump from.
All of a sudden a gap appeared in the side of sand storm on Liger's right side, which quickly closed over, just as if something large had just jumped through it, from the outside. Seconds after this a force contacted with Liger's right, pushing him over so he fell into the other side of the sand storm, destroying it and becoming covered in sand.
" Looks like you'll be needing that wash down now, eh boy?" Bit grunted as he pulled the controls up, along with Liger. He looked around, but whatever it had been was gone, the sand had settled, mostly on him.
" What the heck was that?" he wondered aloud, nothing happened so after awhile he decided to urge Liger forward, " Perhaps it's best to move on....."
Liger turned his head to take a last look over his shoulder.
" Arr.... Liger?" Bit mumbled nervously.
Liger slowly turned his head back to the front- only to come face to face with a big blue/ black/ silver zoid. The zoid had the slender body and legs of a Command Wolf, a weapon on its back similar to that on the Bezerk Fury's, its head and feet looked rather dragonish and it had a long, thick, black tail with the tip looking like the Liger Jagar unit's, topped off with amazing blue, black and silver armour.
" Impressive zoid - pity that the pilot ain't so crash hot." Came a females voice from the inside of the cockpit.
" You just appeared from nowhere!" Bit exclaimed, knowing that it sounded stupid and obvious.
" Aren't you an Einstein." This time it was dripping with sarcasm.
Bit tried to ask her how but he was so dumb struck that he asked instead:
" W- what are you doing out here?" It was one of many questions that Bit had wanted to ask.
" I could ask you the very same question." Came a calm, ' you go first' tone of voice. She seemed quite unwilling to give out information.
" Arr...I'm out here, with my team, well there not here here but...arr..anyway, we're going to have a battle out here with the Sand Dune team ( Author's note: Sorry I made it up.) tomorrow, but I went out looking for water to restock our tanks, but I haven't found any so I'm heading back now........." Bit's voice trailed off. He'd had great trouble just trying to find the words, now his mouth was dry.
" Water?" Came a surprised voice, then it recovered into an almost mocking evil tone, " Your heading the wrong way."
Before Bit could answer or Liger respond, a flash of blue zoomed past them, the speed practically rocked Liger about.
" What??!!" Bit gasped.
" Follow me!" Came the call.
Bit turned Liger around and headed after her.
" Hey! Wait up!!" Bit shouted.
The mystery zoid and pilot stopped to let him and Liger catch up. As Bit drew his Liger beside the mystery zoid he craned his neck around to see what the pilot in the cockpit looked like, but he could only make out her silhouette through the zoids eyes. The pilot was a female with a slender figure, that was all he got before she started her zoid forward again, this time slower.
After following her for quite some time, two huge rocky mountains, which appeared to bar them from continuing, loomed into sight, but she didn't stop her zoid or slow down. She zoomed up to the two largest mountains and ran her zoids slender body through a pretty large gap between them. As Bit reached the gap he stopped his Liger.
" Where too big boy, we won't fit...." He mumbled.
Ignoring his owner as always, Liger charged straight ahead, after the mystery zoid, getting bumped by the mountains rocks on both sides all the way. Luckily they reached the other side of the mountains and were soon back in the open.
Bit gazed in wonder at the new site before him....
" Water!!!" Bit cried in amazement and quickly leapt out of the Liger to fill the water tanks he had with him.
Somehow, in the middle of desert was a great, huge, deep pond of fresh water, surrounded and sheltered by a ring of mountains.
" The only downside is that it's not very cold, but if your taking some back to a base, you can freeze it up , I guess...." The mystery zoid's cockpit opened slowly and Bit could see her features more clearly as she stood up; About his age, maybe younger, black, brown hair, slightly curly at the ends, tall, slender and extremely attractive....
Bit stammered to get out a 'thanks' but it came out more like 'banks'
" Arr....no, I think it's a pond..." She said confused.
Bit nodded numbly, he wasn't sure what was wrong with him. Why couldn't he get the words out?
After finishing to fill the first of the tanks, he stood up and ran his fingers through the back of his head, nervously.
" So....arr....what are you doing out here then....?" He managed to bring out.
" It would take too long to tell the main reason for ending up here, so I'll tell you in brief why I'm just in this area okay?"
" Okay..."
" Well, I never stay anywhere too long in case I get attached to it, so I'd just left the last town when I came to this desert, my zoid sniffed out the water. But I got bored and left to find some fun. I soon found what I thought, at first, was a wild Liger wandering about, but then I heard you yelling at him at the top of your lungs to turn back-" Bit flushed bright red "- I thought that I'd engage a fight but soon saw that it just wasn't worth the ammo." An evil smile came on her face. She was trying to get him angry so he'd fight her.
Bit chose not to take offense to her words, he had a job to do, so he decided to change the topic. But he could only bring himself to ask about her zoid.
" What type of zoid is that?" He asked.
" Dunno," She answered, " Been asking around in my travels and no one knows, 'perhaps a mixture' they say. At any rate I call her Night Slasher."
" Arr....why?"
" Because she as some pretty cool slashing attacks and she is best when the elements are on her side. Her armour camouflages her at night, but I also like to come jumping out from behind the sun, so they can't see me coming. But my favourite one is to become invisible then use the grass, water or sand to fool my opponents..."
Bit nodded. So that was what she did! But how? He was on his third tank ( of twelve) now and couldn't think what to say. He was too caught up in his thoughts and so, it appeared, was the girl. After several minutes silence, she spoke up.
" Well, I probably should be heading off now, the next towns that way isn't it?" She pointed to the direction of Bit's town and all Bit could do was nod, " Thanks, like I said I don't stay anywhere long, I'll just get some supplies and go. Bye." The cockpits closed and the zoid turned around and set off.
Bit was completely taken aback by this and could only manage a weak ' good- bye' to her zoids retreating behind. He watched her until her zoid was completely out of sight then continued to get back to work, unable to get her out of his mind.
In Night Slasher, not too far away, the mystery pilot was thinking of Bit ( those she didn't know that that was his name)
" What a strange guy....." She smiled, " Kinda cute though..."
Her zoid gave a low growl as she ran along. " Pity I shall never see him again....."
*******
Jamie, Brad and Leena all stood outside the Hover cargo looking for Bit.
" Can you see him?" Leena asked anxiously, trying not to sound like she was worried about him.
Jamie put his hand on his forehand to block out the sun.
" Nope," He sighed, " I don't see him or Liger anywhere."
" I wouldn't worry Leena, it will give you wrinkles, and he's probably just mucking about." Brad stated calmly
" I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT HIM!!!!" Leena fumed, " I just really want some fresh water."
"Uhu" Brad smiled evilly, " Whatever you say...."
" Why you....." Leena was about to break every bone in Brad's body when her father came out.
" Bit back yet?" Dr Toros asked.
" Nope..." Jamie began.
" You'll be glad to know that Leena's worried for him...." Brad coolly added.
This was followed by a war cry from Leena as she leapt at Brad who casually side stepped.
" Oh, are those two at it again?" Said Dr Toros mildly interested.
" None of this would have happened if you hadn't excepted to that stupid battle with the Sand Dune team tomorrow!" Leena snapped picking herself off the floor.
" Yeah, the battle isn't until tomorrow, why did we have to come out here three days ago?" Brad inquired.
" Because I wanted you to get used to the conditions out here, to help us in battle - the Sand Dune team are used to these conditions so would have had the advantage in battle. But the credit to this plan really should go to Jamie." Dr Toros announced.
Brad and Leena glared at Jamie who sweat dropped.
" Well I say it stinks!!" Leena crossed her arms and pouted.
" We all stink!" Brad sighed.
Leena was about to give him a really bash up when all of a sudden Jamie yelled;
" Hey! I think I see Bit!!"
.........And sure enough a Liger could be seen lumbering along the desert, almost completely covered in sand.
" Hey! Hey guys! Did you miss me?" Bit called out as Liger broke into a run.
" Leena did!" Brad shouted back, waving.
Bit watched Leena push Brad over and Jamie and Dr Toros leap forward to pull her back.
" Wonder what Brad did?" Bit wondered, as he had not heard Brad's comment. Bit reached the Hover cargo and jumped out of the cockpit.
" So did you get some water?" Brad asked in his; I seriously doubt it tone.
" Uhu, all twelve tanks are full!" Bit proudly answered.
" What??!!" The others chorused.
" Okay Bit, who'd you buy it off this time?" Leena inquired.
" I didn't buy it off anyone!" Bit exclaimed, innocently.
" You mean that your telling us that you actually found twelve tanks or more worth of water, in the middle of a desert???!!" Leena almost shrieked the last bit.
" Yup." Bit smiled.
" Oh....boy..." Leena sighed.
" Well, I say, well done Bit! That will definitely get as through tomorrow, the journey back and the small remainder left of today!" Dr Toros exclaimed.
Knowing what was probably going to come next, Brad and Jamie excused themselves.
" Right, well I'll just be going to go over the battle strategy for tomorrow....arr...again." Jamie stated heading off.
" Yeah and I'll......um....well I'll go help him!" Brad added racing off after Jamie.
" Wonder what's gotten into them." Bit stated, clue less.
" Hmm......yes...well...I'll just get you two to bring the tanks in then......" Dr Toros began.
" What??!!" Bit shouted, " All twelve??!!"
" Well.......yeah," Dr Toros answered, " Jamie and Brad are busy -" " Yeah right!" Bit muttered. "- so it's just the two of you left to take them in." He shot a wink at his daughter who rolled her eyes.
I'm going to get those two for this! Bit thought angrily as he grabbed the first tank.
" Why can't Leena do it? I've been lifting tanks all day!!" Bit grumbled.
" Well, I can't lift one on my own you know!" She exclaimed, " Not a full one, anyway."
Dr Toros walked inside and left them to it.
" Perhaps we can get away with just putting them in the shade..." Bit began.
" Perhaps....but either way we have to take one into the water tank room." Leena answered.
" Okay, just one, then I'll give Liger his wash down." Bit agreed.
Leena and Bit grabbed the tank tightly.
" On the count of three.....one." Bit began.
" Two...."
" Three!"
They both heaved the tank off the ground.
" Right then, lets go.." Bit sighed.
Leena nodded. Slowly and surely, the two crossed through the garage and turned into the room which held the original water tank in it.
" Do you know how to connect this thing up or whatever your meant to do?" Leena asked, as they neared the tank.
" Nope," Bit answered, " Maybe you just insert this into here or maybe...."
Bit began to shuffle towards the tank, but Leena stopped.
" Maybe," She finished his sentence, " We don't fiddle with it. We can get Jamie to hook it up later."
She and Bit carefully placed their tanks down, but as Leena stood back up it reminded Bit of how the mystery pilot stood as she opened the cockpit. He stared blankly at Leena; he'd forgotten to ask the pilot's name! He hadn't even thought of it! How could he have been so dumb? How rude she must have thought him! And on top of it he was probably never going to see her again.......ever. This was just getting worse..
Meanwhile Leena was looking at Bit curiously. She couldn't quite make out why he had suddenly stopped and looked at her strangely then gone into complete blank mode.
" Bit?" She called quietly, waving her hand in front of his face, " Bit? Bit?! BIT!!"
"WHAT??" Bit snapped out of his thoughts immediately, " Oh.....ar....yes...right...sorry about that."
" It's okay...." She smiled. What was he thinking of? Could it have been me? Leena thought Does he actually like me? Like I like him? Leena smiled at the thought Perhaps....
" Did we finish our job? Oh yes I remember......right...I'll wash Liger then...okay....great." Bit gabbled confused.
Bit walked out the door and towards Liger. Wash time boy he smiled at his Liger. Liger roared at him to hurry up and he moved off to the part of the garage where Bit could wash him. As Liger moved into the garage the view to the outside world, which Liger's body had kept from view, came before Bit's eyes. He bit his lip. It was sunset. Sunsets marked the coming of night, the night marked the coming of his need to sleep and sleep marked the coming of........
Bit had come to hate the sunsets.

Authors note: Right, this is my first fic so please go easy on the reviews OK? My character Faith doesn't really exist I made her up. Please excuse anything that is not correct, I've only seen the last six or seven episodes of the Bit and Liger series. Please inform me of my mistakes. Thanks.
Chapter One: The Mystery Pilot
Liger Zero left large foot prints in the hot, desert sand as he continued further and further away from the Hover cargo. Bit had volunteered to go out to hunt for some fresh water, as there supplies were getting low and it was a very hot day.
" Do you think we've been out long enough for the others to actually think that we've been looking for water?" Bit asked his Liger, " I reckon you've been walking for hours and it's boiling hot out here!"
Liger responded with a roar of disagreement.
" What do you mean no???!!" Bit roared twice as loud as his Liger. " Who cares if you don't get a morning, mid day and night wash down??!!"
Liger gave a low growl as if to say: Me, of course you dimwit, half brain of a pilot!
" Liger if we don't turn around now I swear I shall faint with lack of descent air conditioning......"
Liger gave no responds and continued across the desert sand without even a flinch in the other direction.
" Liger!!!" Bit tried to turn Liger around using the controls, but Liger stubbornly resisted. " Rrrrr.........."
Liger lifted his head proudly, he'd won that one and now he might get a bit of piece......
" Liger.........." Bit weakly breathed, " .....Please.......turn............."
....Or not. Liger smirked inwardly. No way- hozay!
Suddenly Liger sensed something and stopped abruptly.
" What is it boy?" Bit immediately jumped out of his I'm - dying - feel - sorry - for- me - and - turn - round - Liger pose.
He looked down at the monitor. It showed nothing. He could only see the sand spraying in funny directions- probably due to the wind.
" I don't see anything boy....." Bit leaned back, then smiled widely, " See? Lack of air conditioning is getting to you too, come on let's turn back already........"
Liger looked around still. He was sure something was out there, watching him, but he too saw nothing.

It soon appeared to be circling around Liger, throwing sand on his feet, teasing, taunting. Liger lashed out to his left but connected with nothing. He roared in aggravation. It circled faster and faster until a mini sand storm started to whip up around them, preventing Liger from moving. Growling, Liger looked left and right, but could only see the sand whirling around him. Where was their attacker?
" This doesn't look good does it? Can you jump through it?" Bit asked nervously, but he knew the answer as soon as the words had left mouth. No. The space left around them was far to small for Liger to jump from.

" What the heck was that?" he wondered aloud, nothing happened so after awhile he decided to urge Liger forward, " Perhaps it's best to move on....."
Liger turned his head to take a last look over his shoulder.
" Arr.... Liger?" Bit mumbled nervously.
Liger slowly turned his head back to the front- only to come face to face with a big blue/ black/ silver zoid. The zoid had the slender body and legs of a Command Wolf, a weapon on its back similar to that on the Bezerk Fury's, its head and feet looked rather dragonish and it had a long, thick, black tail with the tip looking like the Liger Jagar unit's, topped off with amazing blue, black and silver armour.
" Impressive zoid - pity that the pilot ain't so crash hot." Came a females voice from the inside of the cockpit.
" You just appeared from nowhere!" Bit exclaimed, knowing that it sounded stupid and obvious.
" Aren't you an Einstein." This time it was dripping with sarcasm.
Bit tried to ask her how but he was so dumb struck that he asked instead:

" Perhaps....but either way we have to take one into the water tank room." Leena answered.
" Okay, just one, then I'll give Liger his wash down." Bit agreed.
Leena and Bit grabbed the tank tightly.
" On the count of three.....one." Bit began.
" Two...."
" Three!"
They both heaved the tank off the ground.
" Right then, lets go.." Bit sighed.
Leena nodded. Slowly and surely, the two crossed through the garage and turned into the room which held the original water tank in it.
" Do you know how to connect this thing up or whatever your meant to do?" Leena asked, as they neared the tank.
" Nope," Bit answered, " Maybe you just insert this into here or maybe...."
Bit began to shuffle towards the tank, but Leena stopped.
" Maybe," She finished his sentence, " We don't fiddle with it. We can get Jamie to hook it up later."
She and Bit carefully placed their tanks down, but as Leena stood back up it reminded Bit of how the mystery pilot stood as she opened the cockpit. He stared blankly at Leena; he'd forgotten to ask the pilot's name! He hadn't even thought of it! How could he have been so dumb? How rude she must have thought him! And on top of it he was probably never going to see her again.......ever. This was just getting worse..
Meanwhile Leena was looking at Bit curiously. She couldn't quite make out why he had suddenly stopped and looked at her strangely then gone into complete blank mode.
" Bit?" She called quietly, waving her hand in front of his face, " Bit? Bit?! BIT!!"
"WHAT??" Bit snapped out of his thoughts immediately, " Oh.....ar....yes...right...sorry about that."
" It's okay...." She smiled. What was he thinking of? Could it have been me? Leena thought Does he actually like me? Like I like him? Leena smiled at the thought Perhaps....
" Did we finish our job? Oh yes I remember......right...I'll wash Liger then...okay....great." Bit gabbled confused.
Bit walked out the door and towards Liger. Wash time boy he smiled at his Liger. Liger roared at him to hurry up and he moved off to the part of the garage where Bit could wash him. As Liger moved into the garage the view to the outside world, which Liger's body had kept from view, came before Bit's eyes. He bit his lip. It was sunset. Sunsets marked the coming of night, the night marked the coming of his need to sleep and sleep marked the coming of........
Bit had come to hate the sunsets.
