Maurice Tries Again
After the incident with the Diablo Group, Serena and Alexander really hit it off. They went practically everywhere together. One day, Alexander took Serena to the movies. The two young lovers saw a romantic epic based on the RPG Tales of Destiny. It was about a young orphan girl named Rutee who traveled the world, looking for love. Along the way, she realized her true love was a guy named Stahn she had met about a year ago, when she helped save the world. The beautiful ending saw the two warriors reunited at his front door, while a romantic song played in the background.
While leaving the theater, they saw Maurice coming out of a nearby flower shop. When he saw Serena, he ran right up to her, gave her a bouquet of white roses he'd brought, and asked, "Would you do me the honor of going with me to the movies? There's a sweet romance playing at this time, called 'The Love I Didn't See'."
"Just left from there," replied Serena, "Alexander took me to see it. Perfect date movie if you ask me. You should see it some time."
At this Maurice fumed. "How could you take him out and not me? If that's the way you want it, then I challenge Alexander to another duel. If I could beat him then I'm sure it'll prove how much I love you Serena," he yelled.
Serena whispered to Maurice, "Just accept. It'll shut him up, and I really don't give a care if he can beat you in combat. That won't change how I feel about you."
"You've got a deal then," answered Maurice, "Hows about tomorrow at 1500 hours, just you and me. I won't bring any help, and neither will you."

"Are you crazy?! Why are you fighting Maurice Champ again?" screamed Luka. She was usually the quiet one, but once her cousin gets himself in a fix she'd been known to blow her stack. And this was something she wasn't too fond of. Especially since her second cousin on the other side of the family was involved as well.
"C'mon Luka," complained Alexander, "Serena and I just wanted to show him up again. Just like Bit used to do with Harry."
Luka replied, "But it's not polite. I mean, putting Serena up like she was some kind of prize. That's no way to treat a lady."
"She asked me to do it 'cause she has faith in my piloting ability. Leena didn't mind when Bit used to fight Harry," he whined.
Luka sighed. "Well, what's done is done. I guess we'll just have to get the Lightning Saix ready for tomorrow's battle."
* * *
Unlike Luka, the rest of The Blitz Team saw the humor in the fight. It was only Maurice, how much trouble could he be? The Saix was given a complete re-load for its back mounted cannon, and the boosters were fixed up. All that remained was to wait.
The next day, Alexander launched the Lightning Saix, and waited the arrival of Maurice. It wasn't all that much later that he arrived on the battlefield in Cheetahtron. "We'll finally settle this bout here and now. And I'll be the one to take Serena's love," boasted Maurice.
"Whatever," replied Alexander, "Let's just concentrate on the battle and not on our own petty little egos."
Maurice yelled, "Was that compliment directed at me Alexander Larson?"
"Duh," stated Alexander.
Suddenly The Judge crashed down on the battlefield. He immediately began the battle. At once, Maurice lunged at Alexander, who effortlessly avoided the attack. On the Hovercargo's bridge, Serena began to giggle at how pathetic Maurice's performance had begun.
Alexander just sighed. The rich little snot was as bad a rival as Harry had been for Bit. He was clouded by his ego, and his futile attempt to impress a certain girl. During a battle, such distractions could be the dividing line between victory and defeat. So he continued to toy with Maurice, if only to emphasize how pathetic he was.
Everyone knew at once what he was doing. They all remembered twenty- one years ago when Bit had pulled a similar stunt on Harry to embarrass him. Leena took that opportunity to go get a bag of microwave popcorn. When she came back, the embarrassing stunt was still being performed, and Maurice hadn't yet gotten the picture.
Finally, five minutes after Leena returned, Alexander got tired of the game of cat and mouse he'd been playing. He ran strait at Maurice, and shot his back mounted cannon. Instantly, Cheetahtron was knocked out of the battle.
"The battle is over. The battle is over," called The Judge, "The winner is…The Blitz Team." Then, he returned to his satellite.
Maurice was grumbling after exiting Cheetahtron. Suddenly, Alexander and Serena approached him. "Go ahead, laugh at me. Tell me how pathetic I am. But realize this, I do really love you Serena," he said.
Serena replied, "I understand. We're not going to laugh. If you love me, then you'll realize that my heart belongs to Alexander. We can be friends though. I don't want any more repeats of grandpa and Layon or my dad and yours. Just please, get your sister to leave my kid brother alone."
"I accept," beamed Maurice, "And I'll tell my sister so as well." Then, he loaded Cheetahtron into the Whale King, and flew away for home.

Just had to break the endless cycle of revenge. I guess Maurice does have some of his mom's genes in him alongside his father's Moron Gene. The movie I was describing was, as I said before, based on Tales of Destiny—a PSX RPG I adore. The first thing I really noticed about Zoids was how Bit and Leena reminded me of Stahn and Rutee somewhat (they're my fav. ToD couple, and like Bit and Leena, the game never explicitly states that they're a couple, but you could figure it out using hints). So I had to throw them into my Zoids fic somewhere.
