Hi! I got 50 now, so I'm gonna write more. For those of you who read
Premonition, which should be all of you, then you must have noticed that I
like writing song chapters, and, well, this is gonna be one of them. I
love this song, and I think it fits well with this chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own zoids, only the characters I make. I also don't own the song "Hanging By A Moment", by Lifehouse.

(Music starts)
The huge room was full of people. Some stood around talking and others were walking around. Music began to play in the background and couples were out on the dance floor, dancing to the wonderful music. Everyone was wearing their normal outfits. Not one wore anything that resembled the military. They all seemed really comfortable and were all enjoying themselves.
(Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you)
The Blitz, Fire Star, and Fluegel team members all stood around, talking. The music then started up again and more and more people were swarming the dance floor.
"That looks like fun," said Leena with a smile.
"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Bit. He took her hand and ran out onto the dance floor.
"Wait for us," said Naomi as she ran out, bringing Brad with her. He had a smile on his face.
"We're coming too," said Rick as he ran out with Meiyuu. The others just smiled as they stood against the wall. Miharu and Risai were standing away from them. They were close to the entrance. They seemed to be talking about something.
(I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you)
The three couples were all dancing on the dance floor. The music wasn't extremely fast, but it wasn't extremely slow either. Doc went over to get something to eat and Mattei decided to sit down at a table. Jamie and Leon were left standing against the wall.
"Hey Leon?" asked Jamie. Leon looked to him.
"What?" he asked.
"Don't you feel, you know, left out?"
"Not really. What about you?"
"No, but you should be out there too." Leon didn't say anything. He looked over to the door and saw Miharu and Risai. They were laughing about something. Risai seemed happy again. He smiled upon seeing her laughing. Doc walked over and looked towards his son. He then looked to where he was looking and smiled.
"Go on," said Doc.
"What?" asked Leon, looking towards his dad.
"If you want to, then just go and ask."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. You gotta take some risks," said Doc, putting emphasis on the word "some".
"Alright, I'll do it," said Leon. He pushed off from the wall and began to walk over towards where Risai and Miharu were standing. Miharu was against the wall and Risai was facing her. They seemed to be talking about something.
"Don't you feel lonely, Miharu?" asked Risai.
"Why?"
"Because Taban isn't here."
"I guess. Not really though. What about you?"
"Nope."
"Speaking of Taban, what do you say that once we find out where that base is that we break him out?"
"Sounds good. Knowing him, he's probably already tried about 20 times."
"And they've probably all failed." They both laughed at this.
(Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me)
They were still laughing when a voice broke through them.
"Hi," said Leon. They both stopped and Risai turned to look at him, a smile on her face.
"Hi," she said.
"I was wondering if you...wanted to dance," he said. He extended his hand to her, palm up. Risai looked to him, not sure exactly what to say to him. Miharu smiled.
"Go ahead," she coaxed. "It'll do you some good to have a little fun."
"Alright," said Risai, a little nervous.
"Come on," said Leon. He took her hand, causing her to blush slightly and then began to lead her to the dance floor. She looked back at Miharu, who just smiled to her as she and Leon disappeared into the crowd of dancing people.
(Now I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you)
They made it out onto the dance floor and began to dance, just like everyone else out there. (A/N okay, since I suck at describing or even coming up with dances, I'm gonna tell you what to picture. It's like the dance from FF8, but for those who don't know about it, it's kind of like ballroom dancing, but a little more, um.different, I guess.)
Leon spun Risai out and then brought her back in, as close to him as she could get. The music was slowing down slightly. Risai smiled to him.
"Thanks Leon," she said.
"For what?"
"You're always so nice to me, even though I haven't always been nice to you. I usually end up yelling at you, but you never seem to care. Why is that?"
"I don't know. I guess that's just the way I am." He smiled.
"Well, then I want you to promise me something."
"What is it?"
"Promise me that you'll never change, you know. That you'll always be...you."
"Of course I'll always be me. I promise."
"Thanks." The happiness of the dance was then rudely interrupted when a huge explosion nearby shook the entire foundation. The music stopped and everyone did their best to stay standing through the shaking.
"What's going on?" asked Leena. They all ran to the center of the room.
"I'm not sure," said Risai.
"We're under attack!" yelled Miharu. "Everyone get to your zoids now!"
(There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind)
Everyone ran down the halls and towards the garage. All the soldiers began to climb into the many different zoids and began heading out to face the enemy.
"We just had a battle this afternoon!" complained Bit. "How could they have enough forces left to attack us again?"
"Who knows," said Naomi.
"It doesn't matter," said Rick. "They're here now and we have to go and defend this base."
"Yeah," sighed Bit. They all jumped into their zoids and soon enough, everyone was out on the battlefield, fighting off the oncoming Backdraft forces.
"Alright everyone, spread out and destroy the enemy," said Risai.
"Yes ma'am," answered many of the soldiers. The battle was just like any other battle. Both sides were loosing warriors.
(There is nothing else..... There is nothing else... There is nothing else)
The battle had gone on for a while and the Blitz, Fire Star, and Fluegel team members were all spread out on the battlefield. Leena was having the most problems. She was being gained up on by Rev Raptors and Spino Sappas. All the Backdraft forces were painted the color black, making it easy to distinguish them from the ZBC warriors.
"I'll show you," said Leena. "Weasel Unit Total Assault!" She took out quite a few enemy zoids with her attack, but others kept coming.
"Darn it," she said to herself. "Let's see how you like this!" She tried the attack once more, but came to a shocking realization. She was out of ammo. "Oh no," said Leena. She was then attacked head on by three Rev Raptors. She was doing the best she could to fight them off, but she knew that she was in trouble.
Meanwhile, Bit wasn't that far off from where she was. He finished off another enemy and looked towards Leena. She was definitely in trouble.
"No, Leena!" yelled Bit. Her zoid was now lying on the ground, at the mercy of the enemy zoids. "Come on Liger!" Liger growled in recognition and began to run towards Leena, but he was forced to stop as a Genosaurer moved in front of him.
"Risai? What are you doing?! Get out of my way!"
"I can't let you go over there! You'll be putting yourself in danger as well!"
"I don't care, I have to help Leena!"
"Bit! You'll just be putting yourself in danger! Both of you could be killed! We have to think this through!"
"By the time we're done thinking, Leena could be dead, and I'm not letting that happen!"
"Bit, you can't let your feeling cloud your judgment!"
"Oh, and you should talk! You have no right to give advice when you don't even follow it yourself!" Risai didn't say anything, she just sat there, thinking.
"Now out of my way!" yelled Bit. He ran past her and she didn't even try to stop him this time. She just sat in the cockpit, looking down at the console. She clenched her fists as realization finally hit her. She could only think of one thing to do right now, so she grabbed the controls and turned her Genosaurer in the opposite direction and began to run after Bit. One of the Rev Raptors was about to break off the head of Leena's zoid when it was jumped on by the Liger Zero. Leena seemed very relieved.
"Thanks Bit," she said.
"Anytime," responded Bit. Little did they know that a Spino Sappa was sneaking up on them. Leena was the first to notice, but it was too late to do anything.
"Bit, look out!" she yelled, but there wasn't time for him to act. It was about to bring its saws down on both of them.
(Desperate for changing
starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you)
The Spino Sappa was then slammed into a wall by the Genosaurer, right before it could even touch the Liger Zero or the Gun Sniper.
"Thanks Risai," said Bit.
"Anytime. I'm not about to let two of my best soldiers die," she said. "You two okay?"
"I think so," said Leena.
"This battle should end soon," said Risai. "Miharu should be coming this way."
"Do you think you can get up?" asked Bit.
"I don't know," responded Leena. She tried to get the Gun Sniper to stand, but to no avail. Leena looked up towards where Risai was and then noticed something move behind the Genosaurer. It was a Rev Raptor and it was coming up behind Risai quickly.
"Risai! Behind you!" yelled Leena. Bit then looked as well.
"Look out!" he yelled. Risai seemed confused. She turned her zoid around and then realized what was happening. The Rev Raptor was swinging its tail towards her and it was moving too fast. She stared on in pure fear as it came closer. 'This is it,' said her mind. 'I'm gonna die.' There was only one thought on her mind, as the inevitable was about to happen. 'I'm sorry Leon.'
(I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you)
The tail of the Rev Raptor came in contact with the cockpit of the Genosaurer, crushing the medal and shattering the glass. The Liger Zero quickly shot down the Rev Raptor. They couldn't do anything for Risai. The Genosaurer had been hit so hard that it was thrown against the rock wall. The cockpit was completely messed up. Just then, two zoids rushed towards them. They had seen everything. It was Miharu and Leon. Leon stopped his red Blade Liger and then opened the cockpit. He jumped out and began to make his way over to the Genosaurer. Miharu landed her zoid and then got out as well. She began to follow Leon. They soon made it over. They both climbed up the zoid and towards the shattered cockpit. There was no way to get her out without opening the cockpit, since the sharp glass from the cockpit would have just injured them if they tried, so they had to open it. They both began to pry it open. 'You better be alive Risai,' thought Leon. 'You can't die on me, not like this.'
(I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you.....)
They eventually got it open and both were pained by what they saw. Glass was everywhere in the cockpit. The controls were broken and twisted. The console was fried and the safety harness was gone. As for Risai, she was worse off than the cockpit. She was unconscious and covered with glass. Blood seeped through her many cuts from the glass that was embedded in her body. There was a huge cut on her head and a trail of blood was running from it.
"Oh man," said Miharu. "We have to get her out of here."
"Right," said Leon. He carefully got closer to her and gently lifted her from the seat. She cried out in pain as she was removed from the cockpit. They both carefully climbed down from the zoid and began to run back to their own.
(Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment)
They reached their own zoids. Miharu quickly got into hers and left before Leon in order to get the medical area ready. Leon carefully climbed up his zoid, doing his best to not shift Risai much. Every time he moved her just slightly in his arms, she'd cry out in pain. He finally made it into his zoid and carefully set her on his lap. He then closed the cockpit and turned his zoid around. He was heading back towards the base. He looked her over to see just how badly she was hurt. He let go of one of the controls and maneuvered with just one hand. He used the other to check for a pulse. It scared him that it was weak and her breathing was shallow, almost as if she wasn't breathing at all.
"You're not going to die on me," he said to himself. "I'll make sure of it."

(A/N the song is done now...just letting you know.)
A woman with black hair and blue eyes stood on a cliff above the battle that was taking place. She looked through her binoculars at all of it. She smirked and then took them away from her face.
"Serves you right Risai," she said to herself. She had seen the whole thing and was enjoying it.
"But I wonder..." she said. "Who was that guy?"
**************************************************************************** ********************
Well now, wasn't that fun! Yeah, I'm a little hyper right now, and there isn't a good reason for that. I just spent a good hour and a half outside in the freezing cold for a football game. It was not fun, I repeat, it was NOT fun. Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter. And when I said it might have to be raised to PG-13, it's for a certain reason. I'll give ya a hint. It involves a certain character that I made. I probably won't raise the rating, but I will put up an advanced warning. Gotta go. Audi^.^
