The End of a Chapter in Life

After the Commission left with the prisoners, the Zoids all returned to the Hovercargo. Leena was immediately rushed to the medical center. Bit held his wife's hands as a Celic doctor examined her. Ryu and Nina were at his side, sighing worriedly. He thought, 'Please Leena, don't die. I can't lose you now.'

When the doctor saw how upset Bit was, he shoed the warrior and Organoids out of the medical center. Bit was left to pace in front of the door while the two Organoids watched him with worried looks on their faces. About a half-hour later, he was still pacing, and getting stares from everyone who passed by the area.

"Would you stop that Bit?" asked Brad, "You'll wear a hole in the floor. Then Dr. Toros will make you pay to fill it in." He began to laugh at his own joke.

"How about if Naomi got hurt badly and being in there? See how you like it if you were in my shoes," yelled Bit.

The doctor came out. His face was full of smiles. He said, "Leena just regained consciousness, and is going to be just fine. In fact, she'll be more than fine in less than a year. She's about a month pregnant. That was the reason for her fatigue."

Bit nearly knocked the doctor out of the way in order to go through the door. He came in to see Leena smiling at him. "Did the doctor tell you?" she asked.

"Yes," replied Bit, "I hope the baby wasn't hurt badly in the attack."

"It wasn't, the doctor checked it out," said Leena. Then, she gave Bit a kiss as a reward for saving her life. Well, she would have done it even if he hadn't saved her, but since when have those two ever cared about the little details when they were happy together.

Everyone on The Blitz and Lightning Teams, as well as the aliens, were excited for their friends. Toros threw an early baby shower, just because he wanted to have a party. Leanna had invited her boyfriend Alan to the party as well, and introduced him to her friends and family. Then, he proposed to her in front of everyone. That got Toros even more excited than the expectancy of a new baby, on account of the wedding feast.

Faye told Bit about how it was the Backdraft who attacked them so long ago. "They wanted our Ultimate X, but didn't exactly know which Zoid it was. So they dismantled every Zoid we had, but couldn't find the Organoid System. So they figured we had hidden it somewhere. That's why they were so curious about powerful Zoids like Liger Zero in the first place," she said.

That confession helped Bit calm down a little bit. He now knew that his parents' attackers were behind bars, and would never harm any innocents again. But he still had one more important matter to deal with, his future on the team.

"Doc," he called one day as he stepped into Toros's "workroom".

"Bit, nice to see you," replied Toros, "What's up?"

Bit said, "Leena and I have been talking. We have had eleven great years on this team. We've beaten the Backdraft twice, and have driven off an alien ship. Now that we're having our second child, we want to step back from career battling and open a shop that sells special order parts to Zoid pilots. Kind of like the places we used to go for Moon GS's ammo."

Toros smiled. "I kind of figured that's what you were going to say. Brad, Jamie, Leon and Leanna all approached me on the same manner. Let me tell you something Bit, eleven years is a long time for a team to exist. Besides The Lightning, Zaber Fangs, Champ, and Blitz Teams, there are very few who can make that claim. Blitz was actually the name of the team Oscar Layon and I fought on as part of our academy requirements. So all of you were members of the team's rebirth after the schism between me and Layon after school ended. And when all of your children grow up, I will be willing to bring this team back to life once again for the next generation."

A few days later, an alien ship appeared on the monitor. Toros kept his cool, and opened communications. As he expected, the face of an elderly Celic male appeared on screen. He was dressed in regal clothing.

"I am King Zerin of the planed Celine," he stated, "Might this be the base of The Blitz Team?"

"Yes it is. I know what you want, and will allow you to enter my base," replied Toros.

So the ship landed. Zerin came inside the base, and Relexi rushed to meet his king. He said, "My liege, I Relexi have kept their highnesses safe until this day when we'll all return home."

Lyla, Margurita, and Jack came outside to meet their father. After giving him a hug, Lyla asked, "Father, is it ok if we stay here on Zi. I'm sure our younger brother will do a good job as king, and we have friends and family here that we wouldn't want to be separated from."

The king replied, "It is ok with me. I understand how you feel about your loved ones. Just give me one request. My life is almost to a close, and I want to see my grandchildren before I die."

So Leena, Leon, and Jack came into the room. They each gave their grandfather a hug and a kiss. "I have a special surprise," said Lyla, "Not only will you be able to see your grandchildren...but you can also see your grandchildren in-laws and great-grandchildren as well."

In came Bit, Julianna, Kelly, Serena, Steven, and Luka—who was in her mother's arms. Zerin smiled as he saw all of his descendents. Then, he lay down on the couch, and fell asleep.

A few hours later, when they came back to check on him, they found a few doctors gathered around the king. One of them was taking his pulse, and shook her head. At once, everyone there knew that King Zerin was dead.

The royal triplets and their children, children-in-laws, and grandchildren all went back to Celine for the funeral and crowning of the younger prince. After everyone's tears had been spent, and all the ceremonies over, they returned to Zi to continue their lives. But they never forgot the feeling of being in space, and the calmness of their journey.

It wasn't too much later that the members of The Blitz and Lightning Teams both left the battle scene to raise their families. Their other rivals also had split up. The Zaber Fangs had stopped battling because everyone knew their weakness to their nickname. Harry's dad forced him to end his foolishness to spend more time on the family business.

Leanna's wedding was a big success. Everyone there cheered as she and Alan were pronounced man and wife. Of course, not many people could catch the bouquet, on account of most of the guests being married. But everyone had a great time.

* * *

"Push Leena," called Bit. He was wearing a set of catcher's gear just in case of her temper flying again. But she was calmer, on account of already going through this once. So she just beared it until out came a healthy baby boy.

"What will you name him?" asked Leon, "Dare I ask."

Bit replied, "His name is Daniel Jonathan Cloud."

No one was able to guess what was wrong with Leena, unless you forgot to review.. If you don't read Robotech books, it was based on the scene where Max tried to convince Miriya not to fight b/c she was exhausted, but she did it anyway and was shot down. They later found out she was going to have her second child. Now, I'd like to give thanks to the makers of Zoids for the characters in this story. Also my friend Dan for telling me to try Zoids in the first place, without him there wouldn't be any fic at all. And of course, the creators of Robotech and Project A-ko for the little quirks in the story. Now if you wish to know my reasons for naming the children. I heard all of them someplace and liked them. Serena comes from the main character from Sailor Moon. Ilene is an Oberon Branch Manager from Tales of Destiny. Steven is of course Toros's full name (Steve is what Oscar calls him, but Steve is short for Steven). Issac is just something I kind of liked. Alexander is an old favorite of mine that I used in a Tales of Destiny Pre-Game fic. Luka is a misspelling of the name of the inventor from Chrono Trigger. Maurice just sounds like a fancy name Harry would give his son (b/c it was in Beauty and the Beast, which is set in France, so it's safe to say the name is French). And Daniel is the full name of my best friend. See you next fic.
