Lugiamania: Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter!!!
Bit: Finally, if you dragged on any longer, we would've thought you were gonna discontinue this fic.
Lugiamania: Actually, I thought about it, but then I read my wonderful reviews and, well, I was inspired to continue it again! So thank you SO much guys! You don't know how much reviews mean to me! *starts crying*
Leena: Oh boy, there she goes again... -_-;
Lugiamania: *sobs* can someone *sob* please *sob* get me a *sob* tissue?
Jamie: Uh, sure... here ya go.... ^_^U
Lugiamania: Thanks Jamie. *blows nose loudly*
Brad: What was all that about?
Bit: Lugiamania was just touched by her readers, that's all.
Lugiamania: *sniffs* Can you do the disclaimer now Jamie?
Naomi: Yeah, before she starts crying again...
Jamie: 'K! Here goes! Lugiamania doesn't own Zoids so please don't sue. Also, she didn't write nor owns the song, "Tooi Kono Machi De".
Leena: *shouting* NOW, ON WITH THE FIC!!!!
"Lalalala utaou sora o miagete
lalalala It's my life aruite yukou
watashi no chikara de susumu
hate shinai kono michi o."
Everyone started clapping enthusiastically as soon as Christi finished singing one of her greatest hits, "Tooi Kono Machi De".
"Wow! that's got to be the best song ever!" Leena complimented her cousin.
"Thanks. I must admit, it is one of my favorites too!"
"It's a good thing we decided to sing karaoke after dinner or else we never would have heard this!" Bit exclaimed as he ate another handful of popcorn. The Blitz Team was sitting on the couch as Christi belted out one great hit after another.
"Well team, that was an excellent evening, but I think we should all go to bed now. After all, we've got a big battle tomorrow!" Doc told the team.
"All right! I can't WAIT to see it!" Christi said excitedly as she pumped a fist into the air.
"It's really not that exciting." Leena informed her.
"Yeah, but where I come from, it is. We don't have any zoid battles whatsoever except in stadiums. Even then they're a big event because they only take place once every year." Christi explained.
"N-no zoid battles at all?!" Bit stuttered, not quite believing what he heard.
"Nope. That's why we make such a big deal out of anyone or anything that has to do with zoids. When my friends found out I was gonna stay with you guys, they practically mobbed me to get details." Christi chuckled a little.
"Man, no battles at all. How do you guys survive?"
"Good question Brad. That's why they invented... the internet! I couldn't live without it! In fact, I even brought my laptop with me!" Christi said as she drew it out of her bag.
"Wow, you're prepared aren't you?" Jamie asked as she showed it to everyone.
"Yup! If I can't get near a computer, then I always bring my laptop with me."
"All right gang, let's get to bed now. Christi, you can take the guest room." Doc Toros said as he herded them to their rooms.
"So, which team are you guys fighting against tomorrow?" Christi's voice floated down the hall as she and Leena walked towards their rooms.
"It's a team called the Star Chasers. I've heard they're pretty good. Well, here's the guest room. 'Night Chris."
"Good night Leena."
------------------
"BIT! WAKE UP!"
"Huh? Wha-"
"BIT COUD! IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP RIGHT THIS MINUTE, I'M BREAKING DOWN YOUR DOOR!" Leena's angry voice was heard shouting outside Bit's door.
"Leena, calm down! there's still an hour before the battle." Christi tried to soothe her ranting cousin.
"All right, all right! I'm up! What's the rush?" asked a groggy Bit as he opened the door.
"Hurry up! We only have 1 hour before the battle!" Leena informed him while dragging him towards the dining room.
"So? That's plenty of time!"
"Not at the speed you move at."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing..." Leena muttered under her breath.
Jamie and Brad and already finished their breakfast and were preparing for the battle.
"Here. Eat." Leena said as she shoved a plate of pancakes to Bit.
"Wow! Who made pancakes this morning?" Bit asked as he started to dig in.
"I did. I enjoy cooking." Christi replied.
"You're a really good cook!" Bit complimented
"Thanks. It's nothing really. How about I make dinner as well tonight?"
"That'd be great! I'm tired of cooking." Jamie said as he walked into the room.
"All right! I'm done. Just let me wash up and then let's get this battle underway!"
-------------------
45 min. later....
"Wow! this is SO exciting! I can't believe I'm actually seeing a real zoid battle!" Christi said excitedly while she videotaped the surroundings.
"But I thought you said you had battles in stadiums back home, weren't those real?" Leena
"Yeah, but still, it's not as exciting as watching a genuine one!" Christi replied as she panned around, filming the surrounding desert.
"Hey Jamie, how many more minutes until the battle starts?" Brad asked.
"In about 2 minutes. Hey look! The Star Chasers are already here!" Jamie explained as a Raynos, Stealth Viper and Pteras made their way onto the battlefield. Just as they arrived, the judge capsule arrived, making it's usual crater.
"Hey, how big are those craters?" Christi asked as she filmed the judge.
"Oh, around 1 mile in diameter, why?" Doc asked his niece.
"Well, over time, wouldn't the entire place get covered in craters? Then there'd be no more zoid battles, unless its in a stadium or in craters. Now that'd just be sad." Christi wondered out loud. The Blitz Team chuckled a bit when they heard her.
"Naw, the commission comes down and buries the holes once in a while. You don't have to worry." Leena informed her cousin, who nodded in return.
"The Blitz Team versus the Star Chasers. Battle mode 0982. Ready, FIGHT!" the Judge yelled as the two teams charged towards each other.
"Watch out guys! The Pteras and Raynos might try to ambush you from the sky! I suggest trying to shoot them down as soon as possible!" Jamie advised the team.
"Roger Jamie." came the teams' reply as they fired into the sky. In no time at all, they had brought down the Pteras, thanks to Leena's firepower. The Raynos was harder, as it was faster, but Brad managed to confuse its pilot with his smoke screen and shoot it down. Now, only the Stealth Viper was left. It proved to be a tricky opponent, as it kept slithering into the sand for protection.
"Argh! I can't fight that Stealth Viper if it keeps slithering away at this speed! Jamie! Get the Jager ready! I'm coming back!" Bit shouting as he turned the Liger around.
"Got it. Liger Zero, secured to the maintenance deck." Jamie reported as Liger's white armor came off and got replaced with the blue one.
"So this is the Jager I've been hearing about! Too cool!" Christi exclaimed as she focused on the Liger as it jumped back into battle.
"All right, we'll get the Stealth Viper this time, right Liger?"
Liger roared in response to his pilot.
"That's the spirit Liger! Let's go! Ion boosters, on!"
The Liger seemed to fly as the jets turned on, making it fast enough to catch up with the Stealth Viper.
"That's as far as you're gonna go! Strike Laser Claw!" Bit yelled as he struck with unreal speed, severing the Stealth Viper's tail, freezing its computer.
"Battle over. The winner is, the Blitz Team!"
"YAY! You guys won!" Christi jumped up and cheered.
"Yeah! The Blitz Team is invincible!" Leena yelled as she pumped a fist into the air.
"Great work team. Our second win in the S class!" Doc Toros congratulated his team members as they started to head back to the Hover cargo.
------------------
"So, what'll it be tonight? Pasta, sushi, pizza? Whatever you guys want, I'll make it." Christi said as she tied an apron around her waist.
"How about pasta? I'm in the mood for something different." Leena replied. "Is that fine with you guys?" she turned her head, looking at the guys, who were all on the couch, watching TV.
"Yeah, that's fine with me." Brad said, not taking his eyes from the screen.
"I don't care, as long as I can eat it." Bit said.
"Anything's good, just as long as I don't have to cook it." Jamie mumbled, turning a page in a zoid magazine.
"OK then, pasta it is!" Christi stated as she marched into the kitchen to cook.
Lugiamania: Whew, FINALLY, I'M DONE!
Bit: Yeah, finally...
Lugiamania: WHAT WAS THAT?!
Bit: Nothing!
Lugiamania: ¬_¬ Hmm... well, I think it was nice, despite the fact I just got back form surgery today.
Leena: You had surgery?!
Lugiamania: It was minor, they just had to cut a little slit to drain a little lump near my eye, it wasn't a big deal, but it HURT!
Brad: Well, you came out okay, and that's what counts.
Naomi: Aww, that was sweet. Are you getting soft Brad?
Brad: W-what? No! *looks away*
Naomi: *giggles* Whatever.
Lugiamania: Oh, almost forgot! Evil #1; Good guess! But no, Christi isn't going to do that, but she will play another important role in this story. (See if you can figure it out! ^_~) As for the rest of my reviewers, I wish I could reply to you all, but I don't have enough room nor time as I have to go to bed now, so, thanks for the reviews, and see you next time!
