So, after looking into the Zoids fiction stories I noticed there was a lack of variety of pairings for Bit Cloud. So I decided to make a story with a pairing with him and Chris Tasker, a favorite of mine in the New century show. In fact she ties with Naomi and Pierce as my favorite female character in the show. Also this takes place sometime after the Blitz team lost to the lighting team.
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids: New century
A lone liger zero was running out in the dessert. Inside the cockpit was Bit Cloud, The Blitz's team's ace pilot (AN: Alongside Brad). The two were going to the closet city to catch a much needed rest. After several consecutive wins Dr. Toros gave everyone the day off to relax. To be honest, Bit needed the break. As much as he liked to battle, the nonstop battling recently made him and the team exhausted. After a couple of minutes the two reached their destination.
"We're here Liger. Now we just have to find a place to park." Said Bit.
The Liger growled before walking to the nearest parking lot for Zoids. After finding a spot Bit jumped down from the cockpit in the Liger's head, which was a little over 8 meter jump (AN: How does he do that without breaking bones?) and began to find the nearest restaurant to relax. After some time of searching he began to think of his junk dealing days.
"Man were those the days. No worries. No one to boss you around. Just scavenge some parts and make a quick buck for them. Still, I wouldn't give up my position in the Blitz team for anything." Thought Bit.
While he was thinking he accidentally bumped into someone, snapping out of his thoughts.
"Sorry. I didn't see you there." Said Bit, helping the person up. It was a young woman in a blue cat suit that exposed her stomach and part of her chest. It was then that he recognized her. "Hey! You're with the Lighting team!" Said Bit.
The woman then looked at Bit.
"Yeah, that's right." Said the woman. "And apology accepted."
"Yeah, sorry. I was in thought." Said Bit.
"Uh-huh." Said the woman.
"So, are you Chris or Kelly Tasker?" Asked Bit, he honestly didn't know which was which.
"I'm Chris." Said the woman, indignantly.
"Sorry. I only seen you and you're sister for only a little bit during the Zoid trials and I didn't get a chance to talk to either of you." Said Bit, Sheepishly.
"The Zoid trials?" Sais Chris before remembering. "Oh right! You're that Liger pilot Jack wanted to beat. You're also the one that surrendered during our battle."
"Yeah, that's me. So, how was I? Did I impressive you?" Asked Bit.
Chris put some thought into the question before answering. "Honestly, since the one's that took you're place in the Zoids trials were all veterans I say you did pretty good. Same goes for our battle. My sister and I can see why Jack wanted to beat you. Not just anyone can react to a shot fired that close." Said Chris, remembering how Bit and his liger dodged Jack's shot and how impressed she was at it.
"Yeah but the credit for that goes to Liger. He was the one that reacted in time." Said Bit.
"Really?" Said Chris.
"Yeah." Said Bit.
"Wow. That's sounds amazing." Said Chris.
"It sure is. Me and Liger act as one when we're on the battlefield. That is if we don't argue." Said Bit, muttering the last sentence. "So, what are you doing here?"
"Well, since our next battle isn't until tomorrow I decided to come here and relax. As well as get a tune-up for my Saix." Said Chris.
"Really? There's a tune-up shop here?" Asked Bit.
"Yup. I recommend it too. It's quite cheap compared to other tune-up shops." Said Chris.
"Wow. So can you show me?" Asked Bit
"Sure." Said Chris.
Bit then followed Chris to the tune-up shop. When they got there Bit asked if they could tune-up his Liger, which they said yes. After giving them the Ligers location the two then left the shop.
"So how long will it take for our Zoids to be finished?" Asked Bit.
"Couple hours at best. I was planning to go to the waste my time in the arcade for some time until you bumped me." Said Chris.
"The arcade?" Asked Bit. "Don't girls usually go shopping or something?" Asked Bit, remembering Leena shopping trips whenever she gets the chance.
"Well, I'm not most girls am I!?" Asked Chris, frowning a bit.
"Not at all." Said Bit. "Is it okay if I come with you?" Asked Bit, making Chris blush a bit.
"Why?" Asked Chris, flustered.
"Well, we're both waiting for our Zoids to be finished and we're both warriors I don't see a reason why not to do it. Even if we're on opposing teams we can still have fun with each other." Said Bit.
"I guess." Said Chris. "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt."
The two then spent the day with each other. Playing games, discussing about their teams and lives, and overall having a great time with each other.
"I got to admit. It was pretty nice spending time with you." Said Chris sitting on a bench with Bit.
"Yeah, same here. So, how long until our Zoids are ready?" Asked Bit.
"I'd say in about half an hour." Said Chris. "Want to kill time by playing twenty questions?" Asked Chris.
"Sure. I'll go first. So, how is it in the Lighting team?" Asked Bit.
"It's pretty good. So far, nobody beat us since we went up to class A and with Jack on our side I'd say we're unbeatable." Said Chris.
"Yeah, well kiss that winning streak good bye. The Blitz team will beat you guys someday!" Said Bit, enthusiastically.
"We'll see, Bit. We'll see." Said Chris, amused. "So, how's life in the Blitz team?"
"It's pretty good. We argue a lot at time but we're a team when we're on the battlefield." Said Bit. "I get in arguments with Leena the most."
"The Gun Sniper pilot? The one that got eliminated first in our battle?" Asked Chris.
"Yeah. She's still sore about it." Said Bit. "She even says that she's better looking than you and you're sister and that her personality is better."
"Hah! I don't see how shooting all over the place and laughing like a manic while doing it is better than my personality." Said Chris, amused.
"Yeah. So how's your relationship with your sister?" Asked Bit.
"My sister? We get along most of the time." Said Chris.
"Most of the time?" Asked Bit.
"Yeah. We argue a lot about how she always tries to baby me since she was born first. We're twins for crying out loud! She's also picky on who I date. Most guys stay away from me because of my sister and the ones that do leave sometime later because of my sister." Said Chris.
"So, no boyfriend?" Asked Bit.
"Nope. No girlfriend?" Asked Chris.
"Nope. Well, there was this one girl when I was a kid but that was about it." Said Bit.
"Really. No girls like you?" asked Chris.
"The Junk business doesn't really have any girls in it that I know of." Said Bit.
"Interesting. Well, our Zoids should be finished. Want to check them out?" Asked Chris.
Bit nodded and the two left to go pick up their Zoids. After paying the people for their services the two were in their Zoids and were piloting them away from the city.
"So, Bit. Want to exchange phone numbers?" Asked Chris, her face appearing on the right side of the cockpit.
"Sure. I'm interested in doing this again." Said Bit, transmitting his phone number to Chris's Lighting Saix with Chris doing the same with Bit's Liger Zero.
"Great. Thanks for the day together. It's been so long since I got to spend the day with a boy." Said Chris.
"Yea, well. Take care." Said Bit.
"Wait! Before you go. Do you want a race?" Asked Chris.
"Where?" Asked Bit, smiling. Wanting the challenge.
"First one to the Blitz team base wins. I'll make it easy for you." Said Chris.
"You're on!" Said Bit.
The two then positioned their Zoids against each other. After a few seconds, the two Zoids then took off with the intent of winning for their pilots.
We all know which Zoid if going to win that race. I know, little to no romance. But a relationship takes time to form. It needs more than just one day to bloom but it's getting there.
Next time: Chris and Bit are going out on another get together but Kelly is becoming suspicious of her sister going out alongside the Blitz team. Can the two keep these meetings a secret or be found out? And can Bit survive a sister's wrath? You're going to have to read the next chapter. My money is on him not surviving.
Bit: C'mon!
Author: What the... Bit! How did you get in here!?
Bit: Not important. Why are you betting on me not surviving?
Author: Well to be honest. I don't think you can survive Kelly beating you until you can't feel anything anymore. Don't worry I'm sure Chris will prevent it. I think.
Bit: But you're the author! You make things happen here. Make her not try beat me up.
Author: Well, yeah. But I also got to keep the characters in character as much as possible and I don't think Kelly is the type of sister to let her siblings date anyone. Now, be gone! Or I'll have Protoss and Sangheili zealots take you away!
Bit: Fine! But please make me live with no permanent injuries.
Author: No promises. And also to you guys. Read, review, and rate. This is not a demand. I just want to know how you guys feel. And also should I keep this me discussing with the characters thing? Also which is your favorite female character in the New century series?
