Hey, I FINALLY finished writing this chapter! I had a bit of writer's block, so if this chapter isn't satisfying, I'm VERY sorry! But read and review any way!
DISCLAIMER: Yo, yo, yo...I don't own Zoids I just LOVE the show!!
"I can't BELIEVE his attitude! I just wanted to keep the damn thing a secret until this whole battle thing is over," Leena huffed to her father. The doc thought the situation over.
"Well, maybe you should try talking to him calmly about it."
"…He's not talking to me."
"Oh dear…this is serious. I never thought I'd hear of YOU and BIT kissing!"
"SHHHH! DAD! Do you want the whole world to hear?! JEEZ!"
"Well, you could at least try talking to him. He may not listen, but he'll hear your words."
"But what the heck should I say?"
"That's up to you to decide."
"I was hoping you WEREN'T gonna say that."
Brad hummed to himself as he read the latest Zoid battle news in the newspaper. The phone rang and he looked at it, wondering if anyone else was going to get it. After the second ring, he got up and answered the phone.
"Hullo?"
"Hey Brad!"
Brad straightened at Naomi's voice.
"Hey Naomi."
"Leena wanted some info on a Zoid…I found a lot. I'll send it on e-mail. How've ye been?"
"I've been good. Leena and Bit are going into a big battle against each other tomorrow."
"Wow…I wonder who's gonna win…"
"I think Bit will."
"Heh, heh…I'll agree with ya. Leena doesn't have any strategy."
"It seems she does better when she really pissed off, and Bit and Leena are in a REALLY seriously big fight."
"Uh-oh…Bit may not do so well after all. It'll take him awhile to bring her down if this fight is as serious as you say it is."
"Yeah…"
Brad thought for a moment and then pulled all of his courage to himself.
"Hey Naomi, I was wondering…would you like to go on a date?"
"Well sure, I think that would be fun. When?"
"I'm a day away from the Aroch Mountains, so if I leave for your compound today, then I'll get there tomorrow and we can go out."
"Sounds good. See ya Brad."
"See ya."
Brad hung up the phone and turned to the computer. The message "NEW MAIL" was flashing on the screen. The door slid open and Bit walked in. Brad, not knowing whom it was, said, "Hey, tell Leena that her mail is here."
Brad saw who it was and quickly said, "Never mind. I'll go tell her myself."
Bit nodded and sat on the couch. The door opened again and Leena ran in, with Dr. Tauros following her, just as fast.
"Leena! Give me those documents!" exclaimed Dr. Tauros.
"NO WAY! These are about Mom!" she countered, then darted behind the desk. She saw Bit sitting on the couch and was distracted, so Brad snatched the papers.
"HEY!" shouted Leena, turning to him. Brad simply handed the papers to Dr. Tauros. Leena pouted. "I don't see why I can't see them!"
"Leena, Naomi replied and sent you the mail. Also, I'm going on a date with her tomorrow night," said Brad. Dr. Tauros gave his congratulations, while Bit turned to him.
"At least your love life is working out."
Leena turned to him sharply. Before she could counter Bit's remark, Brad continued.
"In order to meet her, I have to leave soon."
Leena turned back to him.
"You're not gonna see the match tomorrow?" she asked, her eyes wide. Brad shook his head.
"Sorry, but I know I'll hear all about it when I get back."
"So you're gonna meet her at her compound?" questioned Bit.
"Exactly," Brad answered, then asked, "Doc, can I use the car?"
"Of course. Good luck with Naomi!"
An hour after Brad left, Leena was sitting at the kitchen table, looking over all of the information that Naomi found. Apparently, there were two versions of the Gun Sniper Nightmare. The one Leena piloted was the second version, while the one her mother piloted was the Gun Sniper Nightmare X. As Leena read on, she learned that both versions were Ultimate Xs, but the GS Nightmare X was twice as powerful. She also read that the Fatality Force took the energy of the pilot, and could cause insanity if used too much. It takes the actual spirit of the person eventually, killing the pilot.
On the very last page, Leena read the most interesting piece of information of all. The GS Nightmare could be broken down and used as a component for the Liger Zero! It was called X. Simply X.
"Liger Zero X…" whispered Leena, then she took a sip of her milk. The paper even gave her directions on how to put the Liger Zero X together. She would have to hide this from Bit before he got any ideas.
Leena sighed when she thought of him. She felt like the luckiest person alive when he kissed her. Why had she reacted like that? She shouldn't have been afraid of anything. She was never afraid of anything before, why should a tongue kiss from Bit be any different? Yeah, it would be hell if Harry found out, but Bit was right. She SHOULD be able to tell Harry to leave her alone because she had chosen someone a billion times better than him.
Leena didn't know that she was crying until a stray tear found its way to her mouth and she tasted the liquid. She rested her head on her arms and cried hard.
Bit was outside of the Hover Cargo with his Liger. He was sitting on the front right paw of the Zoid, looking out, allowing the breeze toss his hair slightly. He was thinking. The subject on his mind?
Leena.
Bit sighed and looked up to the moons, asking, "What the heck should I do?"
He heard Liger's low growl. Bit smirked.
"You don't know either partner?"
Liger shook his head slightly. Bit's face grew serious again.
"I've never really seriously fallen for anyone in a while. The first thing I called Leena was 'Babe.' Figures I'd be living with her and her team AND working with them. Not to mention later really falling for her and tongue kissing her."
Liger growled softly. Bit stared at the ground.
"Maybe I'm just kidding myself. She wants to keep it a secret. Does that mean she's serious about the whole thing? Probably not."
Liger roared and shifted his front right paw, knocking Bit off. Bit jumped off and frowned at his Zoid.
"HEY! What's the deal partner? Turning on me?"
Liger roared and its eyes glowed. Bit sighed.
"You're connected with me…We always want the same thing. Yet you say you want me to be with Leena. I'm not sure if I want that."
Liger slumped onto his stomach, lying down like a dog. Bit sat on the ground too. He looked to the Hover Cargo, which was off in the distance. He wondered what Leena was doing. He looked back to his Ultimate X Zoid.
"Wanna go back, Liger?"
Jamie sat at the computer, analyzing the information that Leena gave to him about the Gun Sniper Nightmare X. He narrowed his eyes at the holo-screen and then looked at the paper Leena had given him. He put his hand to his forehead.
"It doesn't make sense…How can the GS Nightmare's parts possibly fit onto the Liger Zero?" he asked the empty tactics room. He ran through the papers that Leena gave him again and checked over the directions of how to build the X component. He then figured out what the problem was.
"Hey! I just figured out what the problem is!"
Jamie sped out of the tactics room and to the living room where Leena was sitting on the couch, sadly watching TV.
"Leena! Get this!" exclaimed Jamie, sitting down next to her. She looked to him and anticipated what he was going to say.
"The GS Nightmare isn't complete! It's missing a total of three parts. If we get these parts, we'll be able to make the component for the Liger."
"What parts is it missing?" asked Leena.
"A pair of blades, ion boosters, and then two separator units."
"Where can we get them?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll find out ASAP."
Leena thanked him, yet Jamie stayed around. Leena raised an eyebrow, but Jamie spoke first.
"What's going on with you and Bit?"
Leena's eyes saddened slightly.
"I thought something WAS happening, but I apparently blew it."
Jamie looked to the floor.
"Sorry Leena, for bringing it up, if it hurt you. Maybe you can work things out with him. Don't ask me how, though, I deal with Zoid strategies, not love strategies."
Leena laughed and ruffled Jamie's hair with her hand.
"Thanks again Jamie," she smiled. "You cheered me up a bit. Bit. Heh, he's got a silly name, doesn't he?"
Later on, after sunset, dinner was set on the table. Leena had cooked the dinner, and it seemed like it was at its best. Bit sat diagonally across from Leena and Jamie sat next to Bit. Leena's father sat next to her.
"Let's eat!" exclaimed Dr. Tauros and Jamie. Leena fiddled with her fork aimlessly, just staring at her plate full of yummy food. Bit downed the food at a fast pace, only stopping to take an occasional drink of Sake ((Japanese liquor)). Leena looked at her glass of Sake and grabbed for it and gulped it quickly, then refilled. She had about four other glasses of Sake before her father took the bottle away from her.
"Leena! You have barely touched your meal! Stop drinking and start eating!" scolded Dr. Tauros.
"B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-"
"No buts."
Leena groaned and looked at her food again. Instead of eating it, she played with it. Jamie and Bit watched her, trying as hard as they could not to laugh at her childish behavior. Just when the peas started "getting into a fight" with the chicken fingers, Dr. Tauros tapped Leena's shoulder.
"Leena, are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm FINE! Just great! …I want a muffinnnnnnn …Gimme a muffinnnnnnn!!" was the reply from his daughter. Bit and Jamie burst out laughing. Dr. Tauros sighed.
"Too much Sake again…"
He helped his daughter up from the dinner table and to her room, while Leena made sudden outbursts about cheese doodles.
"Cophopeesope dopoodoplopesop!"
"WHAT?"
"Heh, heh…The famous Op language! Mopufopfopinopsop!"
"That's great Leena, but you should get back to your room."
"But Bit! I don't wanna! The cheese doodles are CALLING me! They're saying, 'Leena! Please help us! Help us! PLEASE! We need to be eaten! And we choose YOU as our master! Eat us!'"
"Don't make me duck-tape you to your bed."
"Oh, that sounds a little suggestive, Bit Cloud."
"ACK! That's NOT what I meant! Go back to bed, you're scaring me!"
"Oogah boogah!"
"What the hell are you doing now?"
"Scaring you. Oogah boogah!"
"Go to bed."
"OOGAH BOOGAH!"
"That's it…Jamie, get the duck-tape!"
"Yaaaaaaaay! Duck-tape! Duckies! QUACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
((Sorry, I was hyper))
The next morning, Harry called. Dr. Tauros walked into his daughter's room and shook her softly to wake her up.
"Leena, Harry's on the phone."
"Ohhhhhhhh……………………….my head hurts…"
"So I take it you don't want to talk to him?"
"Exactly. Let me sleep."
"All right. Oh, by the way, the battle is at 2:00, so in about six hours. We're about five hours away from the battle site, so there will be an hour to prepare your Zoid for the battle."
"K dad…'night…"
"Oh, wait, Jamie said something about locations of parts?"
Leena sat up abruptly, startling her father.
"He did?!"
"Yes, why-"
Leena jumped out of bed and sped to the tactics room. A large sweat drop rolled down the back of Dr. Tauros' head.
"JAMIE!!!!!!!"
"ACK! Don't scare me like that!"
Leena apologized and then sat next to the young strategy expert.
"My dad told me you found them?" asked Leena. Jamie nodded.
"Just one of them though. It's back a little ways, so after the battle, we'll have to search."
"Yeah!" exclaimed Leena, raising her arm in the air. Bit walked into the room seconds later. Leena looked at him and then smirked. "Wouldn't YOU like to know what I'm planning!"
"Huh?"
"HA! Like I'm gonna tell you! Jamie, remember to keep the EZ-5402 secret, ok?"
Jamie nodded and closed the holo-screen that had information on the Liger Zero X, its code name being EZ-5402. Bit raised an eyebrow, but Leena walked right by him without a word.
Hee....So the GS Nightmare has more secrets AND there's another component for the Liger. See, this story is widening. I hope to make this LONG. Oh, and about the Liger Zero X, I am NOT copying Lady Eri. I even told her that I had an idea including a Liger Zero X, so its okay. Plus, the way of achieving the final component is different in both stories.Oh, and WILL Leena and Bit get back together????!!!! Hehehehehehee....Oh, and gomen about the cheese doodle and muffin stuff...I was a tiny bit hyper. HEE! I have a piccy of the Liger Zero X if ye want it, so e-mail me. BYEEEEEEE!!!! ::bows and runs away::
DISCLAIMER: Yo, yo, yo...I don't own Zoids I just LOVE the show!!
"I can't BELIEVE his attitude! I just wanted to keep the damn thing a secret until this whole battle thing is over," Leena huffed to her father. The doc thought the situation over.
