No, it couldn't be. Not Mary Champ. Bit closed his eyes, counted to three, and opened them, praying that she would be gone. She was not, and was staring at Bit in a hungry way.
"Oh, Bit. It's so nice to see you again, honey," Mary said in a seductive tone. Bit swallowed, and backed away. He had barely gone three steps when he became aware of a person at the door to the main base.
"T-t-terrace! Help me!" Terrace stood there against the door frame, with a vertical scar over his left eye and three slash marks on his left cheek, looking quite dangerous. The expression on his face only made him look even more risky to deal with. Locking eyes with Bit, he sent a clear thought to his friend, 'Droid guards behind the Champ siblings. Run for cover, I'll deal with them.
That message had barely faded from Bit's mind when he heard Mary call out, "Take Bit Cloud and bring him to my summer getaway home, that I may force him to marry me. And find Leena and bring her to Harry's base so my brother can marry her. Kill anyone who gets in the way."
Bit then saw Terrace leap over his head (A/N: Bit's head), and start using a glowing sword to slice apart a group of at least two dozen humanoid robots armed with guns. Bit distinctly heard a robot saying, "Blast him." "Rodger,rodger." before they were cut down with Terrace's gold blade of pure energy. Several robots managed to snap off shots at Terrace, but they were just deflected by the sword, hitting the mechanicals instead.
In just thirty seconds, the bodyguard of twenty-four robots had all been sliced apart ruthlessly and neatly. Mary was beside herself with shock. "Those were the best guard 'bots that had ever been made. How could you, a mere human, defeat two dozen of them? This does not make any sense at all." "First, lady, I have fought opponents much more powerful and dangerous than these piles of scrap metal. And second, I have powers that you would not believe possible for a human to have. Leave now, both of you." There was no mistaking the tone of unbridled fury in Terrace's voice. The Champ siblings backed away, and then ran to their Whale King like demons were chasing them.
Terrace just stood there, watching them go. He was wearing a camoflage jacket over a black, short-sleeved shirt and blue, jean-like pants with a red stripe running up and down the seams. Black, fingerless gloves covered his hands, while black boots came midway up his calves (A/N: the part of the legs below the knees, as though you didn't know). There was a silver band wrapped around Terrace's left arm between the hand and the elbow. His hair was messy and quite orange, framing his face. The sword, no, lightsaber was glowing. Suddenly, the blade retracted into the grip that was clutched in Terrace's hand. He turned around to face the trio that watched the whole fight.
"Wow, Terrace. I've never seen someone fight like that with a sword," an awed Brad stated. Bit spoke up, "It's not a sword, Brad, it's a lightsaber." Jamie stared, then asked, "How did you get the blade to glow like that, Terrace?" "The blade is made of pure energy. It can cut through almost anything with a minimum of effort, except other lightsaber blades. They also can deflect blaster bolts with ease," Terrace answered, his jungle-green eyes flashing mysteriously. He thought, then said, "Bit, you can go into the shower room to tell Leena that Harry's run off, and will not be back for a while."
"What? Oh..."
******************************************************************
Months passed. Terrace and Kathalee both decided to join the Blitz Team, going out to search for Zoids to use, coming up empty-handed every time. During this time, Bit and Leena got very close, and had gone out on many dates. Harry had tried to break them up, but when he did, Leena had caused him to be hospitalized for a week. After that, Harry left them alone, muttering about how he had been unfairly treated. It took a month for the Blitz Team to accept that Bit and Leena were a couple now, remembering how they used to fight twice a day, trying to beat each other up. Terrace and Kathalee started practicing lightsaber dueling in the hangar every day between breakfast and lunch.
After three months at the Taurus Base, Terrace and Kathalee went out to search some more. They had agreed to buy Zoids if they couldn't find any this time searching. Now they were two miles out in a forest, and were totally lost.
"Terrace, why did you bring us in here, anyway? Do you realize that the chances of us finding a Zoid in this forest is..." "Shut up, Kathalee. I can feel two Zoids close by, and never tell me the odds." Kathalee had been trying Terrace's patience ever since the trip had started, and showed no sign of relenting.
Kathalee prepared another onslaught of complaints, when the jeep hit a nasty bump that neither one had seen coming their way. Terrace was thrown from the jeep, and landed as best he could, which was still not good. Cursing, Terrace looked up...
...At a gigantic Zoid right in front of him.
For a moment, he stared at the Zoid, mesmerized by the beauty of it. It was rather like a gold lion, with claws rather like the Liger Zero's, and boosters to match. He was jerked out of his study of this wonder when it lowered its head and opened the cockpit. Without even knowing what he was doing, he climbed into the command seat, fastened the harness, and closed the canopy. He was just figuring out what he had done when a roar eminated from the Zoid itself.
Greetings, Terrace Manosk. I am the Zoid Simba. From this moment on, you will be my master. "What? I can understand your language." An odd growling sound rumbled that was, without a doubt, gentle laughter. I am an Ultimate X Zoid, and you are the Chosen One that can pilot me. That is why you can understand me. I have a friend known as Martial Panther, also an Ultimate X, and I believe that the female human that you came in here with can pilot her. "My best friend, Bit Cloud, can pilot the Ultimate X Liger Zero." Terrace said, suddenly remembering, "And he also has different armors for different combat situations." At this Simba became inquisitive. What kinds of armors? "Well, there's the Jager, which boosts the Liger's speed threefold, the Schneider, making it good at close-range combat, and the Panzer, which gives it heavy artillery weapons." Suddenly, Terrace's com system came alive, showing that Kathalee had found a Zoid as well. ~Terrace, this Zoid calls itself the Martial Panther, and it's cool! I see you found a Zoid yourself. What's its name?~ "It's called the Simba. Kathalee, you and I have found Ultimate X Zoids, and we can pilot them! Let's go show the Blitz Team our new Zoids!" ~Rodger that, Terrace!~ And with that, they took off toward the Taurus Base.
******************************************************************
It had been four hours since the two Jedi had left. Bit wasn't worried, they had been gone this long before, but he wished they would hurry up. He had just bought a book outlining the various decent Zoids that the Blitz Team could afford, and he wanted to show it to them both. He was just wondering when they would be back, when Brad showed up in the Rec- room, gesturing for Bit to follow him. Brad lead Bit to the hangar, where he got the biggest suprise in his life.
Standing just outside the hangar, were two Zoids. One of them looked like a golden lion, whose canopy popped open, and out jumped Terrace. Beside the lion, was a black panther-like Zoid. It's cockpit opened, and out jumped Kathalee. Both had looks of extreme enjoyment on their faces. Bit realized that they wouldn't need to buy Zoids for their positions on the team, because they found some.
Doc was just staring at the two new Zoids, stars in his eyes. After initial explanations, the entire team turned in, intending to bring Terrace, Simba, Kathalee, and the Martial Panther to the registration office in Romeo City to get them on the Blitz Team tomorrow.
******************************************************************
Two weeks later, Doc came into the Rec-room with some very happy news.
"Alright, team. We've got another battle set in three days." "Against who?" Bit wanted to know. Doc smiled and said, "The Sniper Team. Apparently, they all use GunSnipers.
