Blitz and Romance

Hey there, people of the net. This is my first real story. The first was a flop and got deleted by myself. Anyways, I thought that Bit and Leena would have been the best couple in zoids, if they actually had been paired up in the episodes. Sadly, they didn't. But that's where fanfiction comes in. Anyways enough babbling, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own zoids in any way, shape, or form. If I did, chaos would erupt and this story would be added to the series.

In the desert their was found to be a rare white Liger running from the ruins of an ancient zoid and running back to a blue and white snail-like mobile cargo hold. Since the cargo hold was a ways away, this gave the blonde-haired, green-eyed pilot time to think.

Class S. They had really done it. Bit Cloud had defeated Vega and the Berserk Fury and The Blitz Team had finally earned their rightful place in class S. For once, Bit found himself thinking about what all had happened in his short time with The Blitz Team. He had started as just a junk dealer trying to scrounge parts and a free meal from them. Then he met the Liger Zero and everything got turned upside down. He had joined an actual Zoids team, started winning battles left and right, gained rivals and friends along the way, and become a legendary Zoids pilot. But most importantly, he had found a home.

"Home."

It surprised even himself to realize the truth of what he had just said. He had finally realized that there would always be a place he was welcome at and friends who would be there to encourage him. Sure he had made plenty of friends on the way, Jack, Leon, Naomi, Stoller, Pierce, Vega, and, yes, even Harry he now considered a friend. But the friends at the base were more like family. He then continued on to think about those very people.

First up was his amazing Zoid and partner, the Liger Zero. It wasn't that Liger was an ultimate x Zoid or that the Liger had three conversion armors that made him special to Bit, but the unique connection they shared that was more than just Zoid and pilot. They fully understand each other.

Second was the leader of the team, Steven Toros, or Doc as he preferred to be called. Though he was a zoid-obsessed, semi-crazed shopaholic, he was actually an analytic, kind-hearted old man. Or so Bit thought with a smirk.

Next was their great, but rarely listened to strategist, Jamie. He tripled as the strategist, the cook, and as their only air-based pilot, the Wild Eagle. He was normally a calm, quiet kid but as his alter ego, the Wild Eagle, he was a fierce competitor with his speedy Raynos.

Then there was the money-concerned mercenary Brad, though Bit considered him more of a teammate than just a paid co-worker. He was a real mystery to work out and always seemed to be able to enjoy coffee at any time. His Zoid, the Shadow Fox suited him perfectly. Bit also felt pretty sure that Brad and Naomi were dating.

Bit came to his last teammate with sigh. Leena was the quick-tempered, trigger-happy, redhead of the team. Her fiery personality went with her on and off the battlefield. The heavily arsenaled Gun Sniper that she used fitted her better than Brad and his Shadow Fox. Bit wasn't sure what it was about Leena that made Bit think of her so much as of late. Leena had started to make him nervous every time she was around. He then just shrugged the feeling off, decided to worry about it another time, and started to concentrate on getting to the cargo hold, which he could just see in the distance.

"Wanna see how quickly we can get there, Liger?" Bit questioned his Zoid. In answer, Liger roared and automatically put on his boosters giving Bit a jolt.

"Hey Liger, next time warn me before you do something like that, okay?"

A few minutes later...

"Whew, we are back!" said Bit as he jumped out of the Liger. He saw the Doc, Jamie, and Leena run up to him. Brad couldn't because he had just been injured while trying to take on the Berserk Fury.

"Way to go, Bit" said Jamie.

"Well done there, son" said Doc, though he was of no relation to Bit.

"We're finally in class S!" exclaimed Leena.

"Yeah, I can't believe we really made it, and thanks you guys." Bit said just as he remembered, "Oh, how is Brad doing?"

Doc answered "Don't worry about it, Brad will be just fine. He just needs to get some rest and in about an hour he should be just fine."

"Yeah, after he gets his coffee." Said Bit. Everyone started busting out laughing at that.

"Come let's go back inside, the sun's starting to go down" suggested Leena.

"Nobody fall asleep, though." Doc said. "I want to get a picture of us to remember this day once Brad wakes up." They all agreed to this and headed into the hover cargo.

About an hour and a half later...

Everyone had gathered in front of the hover cargo with a camera set up facing them. Bit and Leena were in front on one knee each. Brad was standing behind Bit with his arms crossed looking as calm as ever, though with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth. Jamie stood behind Leena with a genuine and friendly smile. Doc was trying to figure out how to set up the camera.

"Come on, hurry up dad!" whined Leena. Doc finally got the timer ready, hit go, and ran inbetween Brad and Jamie. Just as he got there he tripped over a rock and was sent hurtling into everyone. The camera flashed just as they all started to fall.

"Dad, what the hell was that all about?!?" exclaimed a furious Leena. She would have been in a better mood had she not opened her eyes after the picture to find herself and Bit wrapped in each other's arms, their lips an inch apart. After a moment's stunned hesitation, Leena had gotten up and slapped Bit. Now she was on to her father.

Secretly, though, she was thinking about what happened with Bit. They had actually almost kissed. She couldn't believe it nor could she stand it. During that moment of hesitation, she felt shocked, angry, surprised, and... curious?

There you go! Leena and Bit are both unsure of what they feel for each other. The next chapter will take place at the start of the Zoids season as the Blitz Team has their first battle in class S. Will they be able to hold their own against the class S veterans? Keep reading to find out.
