The Fear
At the cliff where Leena is still dangling from
"BIIIIIT! HELP ME PLEASE!" Leena yelled at the top of her lungs.
"I'm trying to Leena, but I can't reach you." Bit yelled back. Then he got an idea. "Hold on, I'll be right back!"
"Oh I'm hanging alright." Leena mumbled sarcastically.
Bit moved the Liger Zero near the cliff, and then he jumped out and crawled to its mouth. "Okay Liger, just lower me down with my foot. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!" He told Liger.
The Liger bit hard on Bits foot but not too hard. It lowered Bit down towards Leena; he grabbed her and pulled her up. Leena was (of course) squeezing him for dear life.
"LE…LEENA, PLEASE LET ME GO." He tried to yell. She did, and then she gave him a hug. Okay, she also kissed him. Bit was surprised and Leena was as well.
"Wh, what was that?" Bit asked.
"Can't the girl kiss her rescuer, yesh what kind of a hero are you cutie?" Leena asked, not realizing she said the last part.
"WHAT?" Bit yelled.
"Uh, did I just say that out loud?" Leena asked Bit nodded. Leena turned beet red. "Well, I've always wanted to call you that but I've been afraid to."
"Well Leena, I have to admit, I've always wanted to call you 'babe' again, but I've always been afraid you'd kill me if I said that again. I just can't help it, that's how I see you, a babe." Bit admitted.
Leena turned even redder (if that is possible), and then she slapped Bit on the face sending him flying. "Come on, let's head back. Oh, when I get my hands on Tom." She growled.
"Why, what did he do?" Bit asked.
Leena fell over (Anime style). "YOU NUMBSKULL, HAVEN'T YOU FIGURED IT OUT? THEY SET THIS WHOLE THING UP! LOOK AROUND YOU; HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT NAOMI AND SASUMI ARE GONE TO? THEY TOOK THEM WITH THEM."
Bit looked around, then he slapped himself on the forehead. "How could I have been so blind? Come on let's get out of here." With that, they were off.
A few hours later they came upon Tom's wrecked zoid
"OH GOD, TOM!" Leena yelled. They found Tom bleeding badly; he had cuts around his body. Fortunately he was not stabbed by anything as far as they could see.
"TOM MAN ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" Bit screamed. There was no reply so the two of them jumped out of their zoids and ran over, up towards the damaged cockpit.
"TOM, TOM WAKE UP. PLEASE WAKE UP!" Leena screamed as she shook him back and forth. Tom gave a moan and could barely open his eyes.
"Leena, {cough}, Bit. How's it going?" He asked, trying to smirk.
"What the hell happened? Who did this?" Bit asked.
"Can't explain, {he coughs up a little blood}, open judge, take video tapes. Records of {moan} fight." Tom tried to get out.
"Easy man, save your strength." Bit said. 'How could anyone do this to Tom? Me, sure, but Tom beat Vega on his first meeting with him. Even I couldn't do that.'
"Le, Leena. Come closer please." Tom requested, she did. Tom put his hand on her face. "Do not cry Leena, it is not right."
Leena was shocked. 'No, it can't be him. Not him.'
"The needs of the many out way." Tom continued.
Leena knew what to say. She remembered it like it was yesterday. "The needs of the few."
"Or the one. I have been and always shall be your friend. Good bye, my Leeney-babe." He became silent.
'Oh god, it is him. No, Tom no.' "TOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!" Leena yelled. She turned around crying on Bit's shoulder. Bit tried to comfort her. Then he put his hand down of Toms just and nearly jumped.
"Leena, he's still alive, he's just unconscious that's all." Bit yelled with joy. "Come on, let's get him back to the Hover Cargo."
Hours later back at the Hover Cargo (well, actually Wing Zero)
"TOM!" Sasumi yelled as soon as she saw Leena dragging him in. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?"
"We did nothing, but when Bit gets back we'll know who did." Leena said with a glare. "Right now, we need to get him that medical bay of yours."
After putting Tom in the medical wing, Leena ran to he father in the Hover Cargo full of tears. "Dad, it was Tom, I mean, it was THE Tom from years ago."
"Yes honey, I know." Toros told his daughter. Leena looked up in rage. "Now before you yell at me please hear me out. Tom told me not to tell you until it was the right time."
Leena stopped looking mad and cried harder. "Dad, I don't know if he's going to make it. Now that I know it's him, I'm starting to love him all over again."
"I think you should tell Bit and the others dear." Toros told her. "I think they should know."
Later after Bit returned and they saw the tapes from Toms judge
"So it was Vega, but how?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah, even the Liger Zero couldn't remember that much. Heck, last time we fought it, the Fury couldn't either." Brad added in.
"Enough about Vega! I have to tell you guys about Tom." Leena yelled. Everyone stared at her, except her father.
"Yeah about Tom, what was it you two were talking about. Have you met before?" Bit yelled at Leena.
Leena ignored him, which was hard to do. "You see, we meet Tom years ago, 15 years ago to be exact. His parents were friends of the family. We became best friends, always hanging out together and going out on dates." That made Bit jealous. "We even liked re-enacting scenes from out favorite movies which were, mainly, romances. Bit, what you saw him and me doing was one of them. In fact, it was the last one we did before he left. It was from the movie, Smart Friends, Dumb Love when the hero sacrificed himself for his loved one and her family and friends." Leena burst into tears again and ran out of the room, pushing Bit on the floor as she ran.
"Damn if only I knew, I'd have acted differently." Bit yelled at himself. "That does it, those tapes show Vega heading for the mountains. Liger can't make it so, Jamie could I…"
"OH NO, YOU'RE NOT BORROWING MY PTERAS, I JUST SPENT MY SAVINGS TO GET A NEW ONE, I DON'T WANT IT IN PIECES AGAIN!" Jamie yelled. But he looked up and saw Bit was gone. "BIIIIITTTTT!"
Bit jumped into the Pteras and flew off. "I got to find out where the Backdraft is hiding. I can't let them get away with what they did to Tom. I can't let Leena suffer either. She loves him, I can tell that. She probably hates me now after how I acted. Well I still love her and I am not going to let her suffering continue." Bit yelled as he flew the Pteras towards the Mountains.
No sooner than when he crossed over the mountains, the Pteras was shoot down. Jamie saw it all 'cause they were following Bit. "NOT MY PTERAS! NOT MY BEAUTIFUL PTERAS! OH PTERAS, PTERAS!"
"Yep, I take it that's where they are." Brad mentioned. "Let get Bit quickly."
"My poor Pteras, Pteras." Jamie sobbed in a corner.
Later after Bit recovered in the medical bay
'Damn, I got shot down. I wish I had died right then and there. I lost the one girl I love because of my selfish mind.' Bit thought, then he looked to the side of his bed and saw Leena. She was sleeping in a chair in the corner. 'Has she been there watching me since I got here. Maybe she does still care about me. Maybe, just maybe.'
Leena woke up and noticed that Bit was awake. "HEY EVERYONE, BIT'S AWAKE!" She yelled. Everyone ran in, everyone except Jamie, he was still sobbing over his Pteras.
"Hey man, how you doing?" Brad asked.
"Oh, fine. Except I have a splitting headache. How's Tom doing?" Bit asked.
Leena looked sad. "He's still unconscious, but he'll probably recover soon."
"Yeah, finally some good news." Bit said.
"BY THE WAY, WHY DID YOU GO OUT THERE LIKE THAT? DID YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH OR SOMETHING? TRYING TO TAKE OUT THE BACKDRAFT ALL BY YOURSELF." Leena yelled.
'She does still care about me.' Bit thought. "Well, it was either me or you. Admit it, you would have done a similar stunt like that." 'Great job idiot, yell at her negatively.'
"NO I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" Leena yelled.
"WHY NOT, YOU LOVE TOM DON'T YOU?" Bit yelled back.
"YES, BUT THAT WAS THEN. SURE I LOVE HIM A LITTLE STILL! BUT I…I…" Leena couldn't continue.
"You what?" Bit asked a little harshly. 'You idiot, no wonder people think you're dense.'
"I LOVE YOU BIT CLOUD! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!" Leena cried. She ran to her room and locked the door.
Bit was speechless. "She loves me. SHE LOVES ME!"
"Yeah, ya think?" A voice said from behind him. It was Tom. "Man my head."
"Tom, you're okay." Bit yelled.
"OWE, not so loud, my heads ringing still." Tom complained.
Later in the control room
"Doc, we've got a priority message from the Commission." Brad said. (Jamie was still sulking; Brad took over his spot for now)
"Warning, Warning. This is a priority message. The Battle Commission is under attack by a Berserk Fury, repeat a Berserk Fury. Anyone who can hear this please he…" There was nothing left but static.
"My god." Brad said.
'So, the cloud of darkness has finally started to cover over the land. Tom was right. If the rest is true, where doomed." Toros thought
Will Bit and Leena forgive each other and stop the Berserk Fury? Will Tom reveal the truth to the others? Will Sasumis role be revealed? And more importantly, Will they be able to survive? Please review (a lot of them this time) to find out.
