Bit carried two buckets he had 'borrowed' from the parts room into the darkened Zoids hangar, a piece of paper in his mouth. He was going to give Brad a little surprise when he came into the hangar tomorrow morning, and so far the poor Fox pilot didn't suspect a thing. Since it was nearly three in the morning, no one was awake, so no one would catch him.

The blonde-haired pilot tip-toed over to the dark form of Brad's Shadow Fox, setting down the heavy buckets onto the metal hanger floor as quietly as he could. He pulled the paper out of his mouth and unfolded it, revealing a detailed schematic of the Shadow Fox. He studied the paper closely, glancing up at the unmoving Zoid every now and then.

Suddenly, Bit heard a loud snort behind him, causing him to yelp and trip over one of the buckets, falling flat on his face. Bit scrambled onto his back, and found himself staring into two familiar glowing crimson eyes. A loud rumbling laugh filled the hangar, emanating from some giant entity.

"Liger!" Bit whispered loudly, "Keep it down or you'll get me caught!!" The great white cat cocked his head and growled loudly, confused on what his pilot was up to.

"If you must know, I'm doing Brad a favor…" Bit said quietly, smirking evilly. Liger didn't like the way that Bit was smiling, he knew something was up. The white Zoid shrugged and stepped back, wandering back to where he usually slept.

Bit sighed and got to his feet, brushing off the navy blue pajamas he wore at night. He glanced up at the Fox, and was relieved to find he was still asleep. He picked up the schematic and looked at it again, biting his lip in thought.

'This is going to be harder than I thought…' Bit thought, looking up at the still Zoid. He folded the blueprint and shoved it into his pocket, kneeling down to the buckets he had set down. Bit reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pocketknife, folding out a thin blade.

Bit forced the small blade under the lid of the first large plastic bucket, trying to pry the lid off. The lid, however, remained stuck, frustrating Bit greatly. He forced the blade further under the lid and let go, letting the small pocket knife remain half under the lid. Bit raised his hand over the knife and brought it down quickly, smacking into the knife as hard as he could, which in turn caused the lid to fly off, scraping loudly across the floor.

Holding his breath, Bit looked up at the Fox, and sighed in relief when he saw the Zoid was still unaware of him. Pulling a brush from his pocket, Bit dipped it into the open bucket and pulled it back, crimson liquid dripping from the bristles. Bit smirked and stood up, walking over to the shadowy canine's paw. He touched the Zoid's black armor with the bristles, brushing on a thin coat of crimson.

"Now when Brad joins Naomi's team, his Zoid will at least be the right color…"

AN- Remember when Brad was fighting Naomi in the Royal Cup, he said he would join her or something like that. XP I liked this, I thought it was funny. Funny Bit, getting scared out of his wits by Liger. XD lol. I hope y'all liked this!!
