Gone, but not forgotten

A Zoid's fan fiction

By Random Echo

Author's note: Sorry for not getting this chapter out faster. You'd think during Spring break I'd have more time to write. Leena's personality might be a little strange in this one, but I'll fix it in the next chapter. Sorry for grammar/spelling mistakes. R&R

Leena sighed impatiently, slamming her fist against the desk. How long did it take to get a room in a decent hotel anyway? It was nearly three am, and after a long line of waiting she gets up to the desk, and the person has no clue what the heck their talking about.

Returning to the desk Leena expected to see this women with a key, instead she had a paper.

"I'm sorry mrs. we don't have a room left." Leena stared in disbelief even as the person kept talking.

"Fine! I'll go sleep outside! And I'm a MS SINGLE DO YOU HEAR ME!" Leena shouted angry, and irritable.

"No wonder." The women muttered under her breath just as Leena headed to storm out.

Just before she left, Leena perked up her ears.

"I heard that!" She shouted slamming the door behind her.

Leena headed down the street dreading how much time she had wasted there.

Cursing under her breath she headed to the closes soda machine. Pulling our a dollar(or yen being this is made in Japan) she stuck it in the machine.

Pushing the 'Coke' button. Sold out flashed on the screen. Leena wacked the back of it ticked off.

Then went to get her change from the machine. It didn't come out, what luck!

She slammed the Coke button again.

"Looks like the girl knows what she wants. Allow me." Said a smooth voice from behind her, and with a swift kick shook the machine causing the last coke to tumble out. Leena smiled, and picked it up.

"Thanks. Your my savor." She looked up at the man. Had to be only two years older. It reminded her of Leon except with black shaggy hair. In a cute way.

"Wondering zoid warrior?" He questioned, Leena nodded.

"I take it your trip was less then sincere."

Leena frowned.

"Don't ask, you don't want to know." She said. Just as another girl, her age most likely came running up behind them.

"Lance, who are you harassing now?" The women began, but paused when she saw Leena.

"Your the girl from the hotel. Nice to met you, I'm Neoko Sands, and this is a mercenary who owes me, Lance Irons. We're the official members of the Stars team." Neoko said proudly.

Leena stood there in search for words.

"Didn't you used to be famous? But where's your third member?" Leena questioned.

Neoko, and Lance seemed at a loss for words.

"Yeah, that was us, we have three rare zoids. Just our third pilot -er- your find out later. Anyway we are looking out for someone new to join the team, do ya wanna try out." Neoko said at last, walking into the street light.

Leena got a good look at her, about her height, blond hair that reminded Leena about Bit, but she dismissed the thought from her mind.

Snapping back into reality she followed them down the road without even giving her reply.

"So what zoids do you have? Er- I hope you know I currently don't have one but-" Leena was cut off.

"Don't worry about that. We've gottca covered. Our third pilot left her zoid with us. Say what are you doing up at a time like this?" Neoko said getting a bit future then her making Leena jog to keep up.

"She's a wondering zoid pilot, what's more to it?" Piped in Lance.

Neoko just shrugged.

"Anyway, most of our battles our fought at night. The zoids our black, and at night we always have the advantage. So, are you interested? Or our you just beginning to stalk us for no reason."

Leena stopped a bit embarrassed.

"Sure, I'll check it out."

"Hey waita minute! You can't just let her in the team like that. You don't even know what her name is! Much less where she came from, what team she used to play for, her team mates nothing! Just because she says she's a wondering zoid warrior means nothing!" Protested Lance.

Neoko stopped as well, but also shot Lance a death glare.

"I suppose you didn't get on the team that way either?!?! Well you do have a point." Neoko turned to Leena. This was her que to talk.

Leena thought back.

"Well my name is Leena Toros. I was traveling because my old sorry excuse for an over-modified Gun sniper never won any battles. I used to be on the blitz team, with Bit Cloud. So it was a hard time to even compete with him. But he was cocky, and cute-" Leena blushed when she realized she had said to much.

Lance looked satisfied.

"Well she's no super girl, but the possibilities are endless is she can pilot Syphon." Lance added just as they arrived to the Stars team hanger.

"Crash her for the night, in the morning we can talk more. Don't mind Lance, he's nocturnal or something." Neoko said pushing the door open.

Leena gasped in amazement as she saw the tremendous three black zoids in front of her. It couldn't be...could it?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bit here: Who is this Stars team anyway? What happened to the third pilot, and what is it about the zoid that has Leena so surprised. More of me in the next chapter! If not, I'll have to get revenge on the author!(Leena comes up, slaps him on the back of the head, and leaves.) Alright, its up to her, anyway the next episode is Gone, but not forgotten: Syphon Leena's fight- ready FIGHT!
