Prism: I don't own Zoids, but if I did, Vega and Jamie would be mine.

Prism Eclipser presents

Chapter 2

The wind swirled around my Zoid as I soared through the air. Not that I cared. I was too wrapped up in my thoughts to realize anything. I cradled my pour skull as my thoughts bounced back to Bit and Brad sweating on the ground, groping each other, and trying desperately to ignore just how badly I wanted that. Just to be held and told I'm important, a part of the team. I smashed my hand against the inside of my Zoid and made the bandage restart bleeding.

I grabbed the controls and made it fly just a bit faster. I cradled my head. I love them, I hate them, I want them, I wish they'd leave me alone. I love them, I hate them more. I clutched my chest.

"It hurts," I said between sobs, "It hurts so damn much to know just how worthless I am."

Wild Eagle was silent for once.

"I just ... miss ... knowing that someone cares. No body gives a hangnail about me. Not my dad, because he sent me away. Not Leena, she's always telling me to get lost, or trying to kill me. Not Bit or Brad because they have each other. And not the doc, he's to worried about his precious models."

My Zoid screeched out loud, and I screamed with it.

"I hate you, I hate all of you, you selfish jerks."

Clouds began to surround my Zoid, but I was too caught up in my emotions to notice. A huge ship appeared out of nowhere and a black judge fell out of the bottom of the ship onto the ground.

" The Back Draft Group vs. Raynos. Battle Type: 0999. Ready, Fight."

Normally I would have shouted at the judge that this was completely illegal, but today I smirked at it.

"Okay judge, take this," I said and shot the judge.

"Judge in danger. Judge in danger."

"Oh, shut up," I said and completely destroyed it.

Twenty Storm Watchers fell from the bottom of the ship, and I turned my Zoid around. They began shooting at me, but I dodged each one with extreme ease.

"Is this the best you've got?" I snarled.

Two of the Storm Watchers maneuvered and were shooting me from behind while five attacked from above.

"Cowards," I screeched and sonic boomed my way past the ones in front of me.

They tumbled together and exploded.

"Yeah, five down, fifteen left."

I noticed that I had broken the speed of sound without turning into my alter ego. Odd. The Zoids began shooting at me again, and I used the turrent and guns in back to take out another nine. I decided to play a game of follow the leader with the rest of them, and flew into a near-by forest. Trees whizzed by me, as I tried my best not to smash into any of them. Several hit trees, and I smirked.

"If this is the best the Back Draft has, then I've got no worries."

Just then, my Zoid flew into a clearing. The seven remaining Zoids flew over me and overtook my Zoid.

"Crap," I muttered and hoped for the best.

Right as one was launching a missile, a beam of light from some trees came, and smashed right into it. It exploded and sharpels carved into my Zoid's wing. I was forced to land, and my Zoid screeched out in alarm as the other six flew over and almost flipped my Zoid. I began shooting at them, uselessly, for not one bullet went into the air.

As they flew in again to finish the job, a huge white Zoid stepped in my way and roared at them.

"The Berserker Fuhur," I whispered as it tail slammed one and flipped it into the air where it destroyed two others.

A window showed up in my screen, showing Vega, arrogantly smiling.

"Hello Jamie, I see you need some help," he said smoothly.

I rubbed the back of my head, "Yeah, I guess I kind of do."

The three remaining Storm Watchers hung in the air. Just then two of them dive-bombed.

"Hey, watch me make mince meat out of these punks," Vega sneered and ran towards them, shooting from a gun mounted on top of the Berserker Fuhur's head.

The last one suddenly fell towards me, and I noticed what it meant.

"It's a kamikaze," I shouted and attempted to move out of the way.

Two problems, Raynos was built for flying, not running, and Vega had just put a Zoid in my way when he destroyed the last two.

I smiled slightly with the knowledge I was going to die.

"Good bye Bit, Brad, Leena, Doc, and Dad," I grinned softly, "Sorry I failed to be a great warrior. And I'm sorry I never got to tell you all that I hate you."

The Zoid smashed into Raynos. Raynos threw back its head in defiance, and a thin stream of blood ran down my face.

"Good-bye, everyone," tears ran down my face, and I stopped smiling.

Prism: Oh no everyone, is Jamie really dead? And such a horrible way to go too. Or will the fates spare Jamie and let him live the crappy existence with Bit, Brad, Leena, and the doc?

I wonder which you'd rather see him have?
