Something Worth Leaving Behind
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids Shinseiki / Zero. MBS played it in Japan. Tomy made the toys. I'm also not making any money off of this. I also do not own the song "Something Wort Leaving Behind." Leanne Womack sings it, I don't know who wrote it.
Note: This will not be a deathfic. I don't write them. And I use the Japanese names, too. And the story is written from Jiemi's point of view. And it's not exactly a songfic, either, 'cause the story's not told with the song. Song lyrics are written between // (meaning: //(lyrics)//).
~~~~~ Chapter One- Leaving ~~~~~
"So that's what we'll do in the battle. Understand?" I stared at the rest of the Blitz Team. Ballade was nodding, but the others weren't. None of them were paying attention. I'd been with them long enough know their habits. Bit pretended to listen, but he was always looking at the clock. He wasn't paying any attention. Rinon listened until I instructed her to blow something up, then she started daydreaming. Ballade just sat there and nodded at appropriate spots. I haven't figured out if he's actually listening, or if he was just sleeping and was lucky enough to be nodding at the right spots. He always sat with his arms crossed like that and his eyes closed. And Doc... Doc was playing with his models under the table... again.
I sighed. Bit mistook my sigh of frustration for nervousness, and patted my back as the others left the room, "Don't worry, Jiemi, we'll do fine. There's nothing that my Raigaru Zero and I can't beat!" And then he left, too. I sat back down in my chair. Of course we'd win. We always do. No thanks to me, of course. All I do is plan strategies that no one ever uses. I looked at the clock. Two hours until the match. We were already at the battle site, so I didn't have to drive the hover cargo there. The Zoids were all in perfect condition, so I didn't have to do any maintenance. Lunch was an hour ago, and I just did the laundry a couple of days ago. No one would be needing me until the battle. Of course, no one would be needing me then, either, but Doc would get suspicious if I wasn't there to give info to the three fighting during the battle. So I thought about what I could do, and decided that I could either go and work out, or I could get some rest. Since Bit and Ballade would probably be working out themselves, I decided to get some rest. I'm never in the mood to put up with them pumping themselves up, both physically and mentally, before a match, especially after they've blown off my contributions to the team.

"Bit! To your left!" I shouted at the warrior, and then watched him dodge to the right, right into the enemy's next attack. I leaned back in my chair and sighed. As usual, they weren't following my strategy, and didn't listen to me trying to help them.
~~~~~
Back at the base, after the battle, I sat in my room and thought. We'd won the battle, needless to say, so Doc ordered out for dinner. Which meant that I didn't have to cook. Am I really worth anything to the team? I thought. Sure, I do all of the cooking and chores, but with all of these wins we've wracked up, they could afford a maid to do all of that. Am I worth anything to anyone? Just then, I realized that if I left, I could easily be replaced, and no one would think twice. Checking to make sure no one was in the hallway (they were all watching a movie Doc had rented for celebration), I threw some clothes and other things into a knapsack, and snuck down to the hangar. I climbed up in Reinosu's cockpit, took one last look around, hit the hangar door switch, and flew off, closing the door behind me. I put Reinosu on auto-pilot away from the base, and turned and looked back at the place I'd called home for the past few years. It certainly didn't feel like home anymore.
~~~~~
I started getting a little tired as I flew, so I decided to see what I could tune in on Reinosu's radio, as I looked for a place to land. The first station I found had a pretty decent song on it, so I left it there. Finding a spot to land, I started toward it, and a new song came on. As I landed Reinosu and tried to arrange myself to get to sleep, I listened to the words of the song:
//Hey Mona Lisa Who's that Leonardo? Was he Andy Warhol? Were you Marilyn Monroe?//
I snickered. This song wasn't too bad.
//Hey Motzart What kind of name is Amadeus? It's kinda like Elvis Gotta die to be famous//
What kind of name is Bit, anyway? I thought, starting to drift off. Too bad he's already famous, thanks to his stupid Raigaru Zero.
//I may not go down in history I just want someone To remember me//
As I fell into sleep, my last consious thought was Will anyone remember me? Or even notice I'm gone?

Review? Please?
