Here's the eagerly awaited sequel to the "Diamond Tigress"! *hears cricket chirps, sweatdrops*
Fine, be that way. By the way, it took me six months to write/type the "Diamond Tigress".
Anyone taking bets on how long it will take me to finish the sequel?
Two years have passed since Lilac and Theo's defeat making the pilot's ages:
Bit, Brad, Leena: 23
Harmony: 22
Leon: 25
Jamie: 20
Guess what? I still don't own Zoids.
Also, this fic might is a bit (no pun intended) darker than it's predecessor. The plot has
been developed for about the next three or four parts, but it's not official as to how it's
going to work.
The name to this fic makes it sound like something from "Cowboy Bebop".
Note: If you have not read Diamond Tigress, you still should be able to understand this story,
but I do recommend you read Diamond Tigress before you read this story. A few things, like
what the Diamond Tigress is and who Harmony Leo is, might make more sense if you read the
Diamond Tigress first.
Quote of the Fic: "...The path one believes chosen long since, constant and unchangeable,
straight and wide, can alter in an instant. Can branch, and twist, and lead the traveler to
places far beyond his wildest imaginings. That there are mysteries beyond the minds of mortal
man, and that to deny their existence is to spend a life of half-consciousness." Lord Hugh (Red),
from the book "Daughter of the Forest"
Part One to "Haunted"
'Two Years'
~~
The Blitz team smiled as another battle was won. The Diamond Tigress and the Liger Zero roared
together and then the two Zoids took off towards the Hover Cargo. The Blade Liger followed,
nearly keeping the pace with the other two Ultimate X's.
~~
Since Lilac and Theo's defeat, things had quieted down. In two years, though, things on the
Blitz team changed. Leena and Harmony were both members of the Blitz team, along with Bit and
Leon. Brad was currently on Naomi's team and it looked like that would be permanent. Recently,
the two pilots had announced their engagement. Jamie had left the Blitz team a year ago when
he received a scholarship to the best Zoid academy on Zi. Both Brad and Jamie were missed, but
calls and letters kept the friends in touch.
~~
Leena stepped out of the shower, happy to feel free of sweat. She quickly dried herself off
and got dressed. She had changed little in two years. She was a little more like the Leena
before she left the Blitz team, but she was still a little reserved. Her hair was longer, but
other than, she was still Leena.
"Leena! How long does it take to get a shower! Come on!" Harmony yelled, pounding the on the
door.
Leena shook her head. "If you keep pounding, I'll lock myself in here!"
The pounding stopped and Leena quickly pulled her long red hair into a ponytail and opened the
door. A puff of stream greeted Harmony as she leaned against the wall.
"Took you long enough." Harmony grumbled. In two years, Harmony had not changed. She still
annoyed Leena as much as possible, and her hair was still the same length. She enjoyed
torturing her boyfriend more than her best friend, but she annoyed Bit and Leena as much as
possible. With Jamie gone, Harmony mostly made the battle plans and other little strategic
things to keep the Blitz team one of the best, if not the best, Zoid team on Zi.
"Grumble at me again and I'll take even longer next time." Leena replied.
Harmony wrinkled her nose up at her best friend. "I'd send Bit in there to drag you out."
Leena blushed. "Remember, you're in love with my older brother. I know enough about the two of
you to blackmail both of you until the next century..."
Harmony blushed slightly and slammed the bathroom door shut in Leena's face.
Leena smiled and walked away.
~~
Leon and Bit were cleaning off their Zoids, enjoying the silence. Dr. Taurus was in his room;
playing with his Zoid models. Their girlfriends were probably arguing over the shower.
"So, Bit, are you going to ask Leena to marry her soon?" Leon asked in a nonchalant tone.
Bit blushed. "I have a ring for her, but I'm waiting for the right moment to ask her."
Leon nodded. "I hope you know that you have to marry her before you two *do it* or else I might
have to kill you."
Bit blushed a deeper shade of red, wondering why Leon was getting protective of his baby sister
again. "What about you and Harmony?"
Leon shrugged. "She and I are both content at where our relationship is."
Bit raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "Are you sure about that?"
Leena walked in, blinking. "Sure about what?"
Bit smiled at Leena as he hopped down off the Liger's head and hugged his girlfriend.
"Nothing, Lee. Come on, let's go get something to eat."
Leena appeared confused but nodded and allowed herself to be led off by her boyfriend. Leon
shook his head, smiling lightly.
~~
Bit hugged Leena tightly in his arms after they left the hanger. Leena smiled and breathed
deeply, inhaling the scent of Bit's cologne.
"You smell good." Leena muttered into his neck as he lightly kissed her cheek.
"So do you." Bit told her as kissed her on the lips.
"All right you two. Some of us like to keep our food in our stomachs. I'm sure that's a
surprise, but still..." Harmony said, as she walked over towards the two, munching on a piece
of pizza.
"We get away from one person's prying eyes only to be found by someone else's." Bit muttered
into Leena's ear. Leena laughed gently.
"Have you seen my boyfriend anywhere?" Harmony asked.
"My darling brother is in the hanger." Leena said as Bit pulled her away, hoping to find a
quiet place in the Hover Cargo to make out.
~~
A man's laughter rang out throughout a small, dark room. The only light in the room was from a
small candle. In his hands he held a picture of two Zoids pilots, obviously in love. A girl
sat next to him, enjoying his mirth.
"Our revenge on them will be as sweet, I assure you of that," the man said, his eyes alight
with the thought of revenge.
The girl laughed. Her laugh was truly eerie and made the dark room feel positively evil.
~~
Like I said at the beginning, this is the first part of Haunted, and it's also a little teaser
since most of my readers know that I have a hard time at writing the first chapter to stories.
The name of this fic gives you a little clue about the two people bent on revenge.
Also, a little bit of trivia for you: I have been writing fanfics for well over two years now,
and have made quite a few chaptered fics in my time, but this is the first sequel I have ever
written.
PLEASE REVIEW!
Peace, Love, and the Moon!
