Heya...This chapter ain't so short, I don't think. AND IT IS NOT A CLIFFHANGER!!! ::confetti is poured everywhere:: Confetti....
DISCLAIMER: Yo, yo, yo...I don't own Zoids but I love the show!


"So wait. EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DEAR LEENA??????!!!!!!"
"Jeez! Calm down Harry! I don't want you waking the Doc up!"
"You sound as if you're not worried about her, BIT."
"I am! Of course I am! I'm also worried about the Doc though. It's been two days. Leena's condition is getting worse by the day, and Doc is looking pale and sleeping a lot. The good thing is the GS Nightmare healed itself again."
"HOW is that a good thing? I bet that stupid Zoid can't heal my darling Leena!"
"Listen, she's not YOUR darling Leena. She's not a piece of property, so therefore she does not belong to you. Even if she WAS property, she sure as hell wouldn't be YOURS, she would be mine."
"Really? Why?"
"We've kissed, and I bet YOU'VE never kissed her."
Harry looked dumbfounded.
"You…you kissed her?" he asked, stuttering. Bit sighed and put his hand to his forehead.
"Listen, neither of us will see her awake again if we don't figure out a way to save her. So instead of fighting, we should try to find a way to wake her up."
"She's in a coma, right?"
Bit nodded. Harry then asked to see her, so Bit led him to Leena's room.
The room was dark, save for a small nightlight next to the bed that shined on Leena's face. Both Harry's and Bit's faces greatly saddened. She hadn't moved nor woken up in two days. Next to the bed was a dark blue sleeping bag where Bit spent his nights in ever since she fell into the coma.
"She looks beautiful even when sick," said Harry, looking at Leena's face. There were no disagreements from Bit.


"So the Gun Sniper Nightmare X was a big black and more loaded version of the GS Nightmare?" asked Jamie. Bit nodded. In the Rec. Room sat Bit, Harry, Brad, Naomi, Jamie, and Leon, all worried about Leena. Brad snorted.
"Almost makes it sound like it was a-"
"Backdraft Group Zoid," interrupted Dr. Tauros, stepping into the room.
"Doc?" asked Bit and Jamie. Brad raised an eyebrow and Harry did the same. Dr. Tauros sighed and sat down on the couch. Bit noticed some papers in his hands. Brad recognized the papers as the ones he had to snatch from Leena a couple of days ago.
"Leena's mother, Lalia, was in the Backdraft Group. That damn group has been around for a while now, maybe twelve years. Anyway, Lalia left Leena and Leon with me when she left on business. Then she held a battle against Oscar ((Jamie's dad if you forgot)) and I. She used that Zoid, the Gun Sniper Nightmare X. I never knew what it was called until I heard Bit explain what it looked like," said the Doc.
"Why did Mom try to kill Leena?" asked Leon. Jamie butted in.
"I know why. Leena wanted to keep it a secret until we could the missing parts, but I think it would help the situation."
"Huh?"
Jamie sped out as the others pondered on what he said. Then he came back in with the documents Leena showed him. He handed them to Bit, and Dr. Tauros and Harry read over his shoulder.
"Liger Zero X?" asked all three of them. Brad and Leon raised their eyebrows. Naomi had already known, being the one that gave Leena the info about the GS Nightmare and the GS Nightmare X.
"Mrs. Tauros must have been after the GS Nightmare, not Leena," replied Jamie. Bit coughed.
"That's not true. She wanted Leena out of the picture! I heard her say goodbye!"
"Well if ye think about it, the GS Nightmare is kind of like the daughter of the GS Nightmare X," responded Naomi. "So maybe the Zoid was talkin', not Lalia. The Zoid and the pilot get connected in a spiritual bond when the attack Fatality Force is used. It must have been the GSNX."
"So what of Lalia?" asked Dr. Tauros. Naomi inhaled through her mouth, held the breath, then exhaled.
"Dead. Lalia Tauros is dead, yet the Gun Sniper Nightmare X is far from it."


A little later, a screen appeared on the computer. Jamie and Brad looked to it.
"Blitz Team! This is the Zoid Battle Commission! We need your help at our temporary base near the Aroch Mountains! We're being attacked by a strange fox-like Zoid and then an odd Gun Sniper! Repeat, we're being attacked by a fox-type Zoid and a Gun Sniper!"
"Right on it!" exclaimed Jamie. He and Brad headed to the hangar. The attacking Zoids were none other than the Glow Fox and the Gun Sniper Nightmare X.


"Bit…"
Leena stayed still, yet her dreams and nightmares did not. In this nightmare, it wasn't Leena who killed Bit, yet it was her mother. After Lalia destroyed Bit and the Liger, she sped forward, then grew her blades long. Leena, in the cockpit of the GS Nightmare, screamed as the blades cut through her Zoid, then a blade came across her chest.
"BIT! Help me!" Leena screamed aloud, whipping her body up in a sitting position. Her eyes were wide open. She was awake.


"Strike Laser CLAW!!!!!!!"
Bit hollered as the Liger Zero Jager slashed through the Glow Fox. When he landed, the Glow Fox cackled with electricity slightly, but was not out of the battle. Bit cursed to himself.
"Isaac! What the HELL are you doing?" he yelled at the com-link of his older brother. Isaac ignored his question.
"Where's Leena? Did she get HURT?"
"You shut up about Leena!" shouted Bit, then Jager roared fiercely. The Glow Fox howled ((wait, do foxes howl?)) loudly and the two Zoids stayed still.
"Why are you so protective all of a sudden?" asked Isaac. Bit thought for a moment.
"Why shouldn't I be? I'm in love with her."
"WHAT? Well you CAN'T have her Bit! If she doesn't wake up by the time this battle is over, she will die in that coma!" countered Isaac. Bit glared at him with a deep hatred in his eyes. Isaac continued with a smirk. "If you win this battle, I pull the plug. I am the one keeping her alive in her sleep. If I win, she is mine forever, away from harm, away from YOU!"
The Glow Fox fired rapidly at the Liger Jager. Jager dodged the fire with the help of his ion boosters. The Glow Fox followed the Jager, still firing. Without warning, the Glow Fox was hit with some missiles, and knocked over. When it got to its feet, Isaac saw the Shadow Fox standing proudly. ((What were you expecting? The GS Nightmare?))
"Bit, let me test this Zoid. You help out Leon with that Gun Sniper Nightmare X. Naomi and I will take care of this guy," said Brad, and Bit saw Naomi's custom Gun Sniper, the Red Comet. "Harry and his robots are taking care of the Dimantis that are attacking the temporary base. Jamie's taking care of the Zabats. Good luck!"
The Shadow Fox howled ((or whatever)) and then fired repeatedly at the Glow Fox, who was also shot at by the Red Comet. Liger Jager sped off toward the temporary base. He saw the GS Nightmare X firing at Leon's Blade Liger. The Blade Liger looked badly damaged. The Liger Jager roared loudly, getting the GSNX to look at it.
"What a surprise…" grumbled Lalia. She turned back to Leon. "Sorry boy, but I have to take care of your friend. See ya!" The Gun Sniper Nightmare X fired about eight missiles at the Blade Liger. Leon cursed as the computer read "System Freeze."
"Bit, you have GOT to be careful with that Zoid. It's got more tricks up his sleeve than you may think…"
"Don't worry about it. I'll be careful," replied Bit. He put up a com-link to Lalia and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"The Zoid Battle Commission must be destroyed! The Backdraft Organization will get its revenge!" yelled Lalia, her Gun Sniper screeching. The GSNX came at Bit as its blades grew in length. Jager outran the Zoid, but as Leon had mentioned, it had more tricks up its sleeve. The Gun Sniper stopped running and then opened its mouth. Leon saw this and warned Bit.
"Bit! Get outta the way! She's using Sonar Blades!"
"Huh? What's that?" asked Bit. But as he looked back to the Gun Sniper, he decided to follow Leon's advice. The GSNX screeched and sent strange ripples around its mechanical body. It kept on screeching and the ripples turned into waves. The Zoid stopped screeching, and seemed to suck in the ripples and waves of the sounds of the screech. It lifted its head and then opened its jaw while aiming at the Liger Jager. Small, white, half-circle shaped blades came out of its mouth, heading towards the Liger. As they flew through the air, they grew in size, which posed a big threat. Bit hollered as the blades hit his Zoid, and his body felt like it was being ripped apart. The Liger was hit over and over again, until the GSNX finally ran out of sound waves to use.
"How…the hell…?" asked Bit. He shook his head trying to minimize any pain and then to the Liger he pleaded, "C'mon buddy, let's get up. We have to make sure Leena will be okay." The Liger struggled to get up, but just couldn't. The Gun Sniper Nightmare X slowly stomped over to the fallen Ultimate X.
"C'mon Liger! You saw what that Zoid can do! GET UP!!" commanded Bit, getting very angry. Liger just couldn't. The words "System Freeze" flashed on the computer screen in front of Bit.
"No…"
"Aww…poor kitty. I'm almost sorry to have to do this, but you are the biggest threat to me if you get the X component. Good bye, Bit Cloud," said Lalia. The blades of the GSNX bent downward and then sliced through the cockpit of the Liger Zero, glass crashing and spreading everywhere. Bit hollered as one of the blades narrowly missed his body, and then yelped as pieces of glass cut his arm. The GSNX withdrew its blades, and then was ready to strike again.
"WILD WEASEL TOTAL ASSAULT!!!!!!!!!!"
A barrage of missiles and shells flew at the Gun Sniper Nightmare X like crazy and hit their target perfectly. The Backdraft Group Zoid screeched and withdrew its blades. Bit held his lightly bleeding arm and looked over to see the Gun Sniper Nightmare. ((What were you expecting? The Shadow Fox? Lol))
"Leena!" Bit exclaimed. The GS Nightmare continuously fired at the GS Nightmare X, making it step back with every hit.
"Bit! Climb onto my Zoid and I'll getcha outta here!" yelled Leena, launching six missiles at the GSNX.
"What about my Liger?" he asked.
"We'll hafta come back for it later! Get on!"
Bit hesitated, but then pushed the restraints off of his body. He jumped onto the foot of the GS Nightmare and held onto the upturned mechanical talon for dear life. The GS Nightmare launched the rest of its missiles and then turned and sped off. It fired out of the tail sniper gun as it ran to make sure it would get back to the Hover Cargo safely.


"So the Glow Fox isn't from the Peréa Team, you're just in the Backdraft Group. Am I right?" asked Brad. The com-link of Isaac showed him nodding.
"Well, I don't like dealing with you Backdraft idiots, so Brad and I are gonna finish you off quick," said Naomi.
The Glow Fox wasn't very heavily equipped, so it had to resort to the old Backdraft ways. Cheating.
"Yo, send a storm of missiles for me," he said to a small com-link of the Count of the Backdraft Group. He nodded and unexpectedly, to Brad and Naomi anyway, missiles poured down from the large black Whale King. The Shadow Fox and Red Comet were hit heavily.
"Cheater!" yelled Brad, running forward with his Zoid, trying to escape the line of fire. Naomi had a harder time escaping, however, and soon was out of commission.
"DAMN IT!" she yelled. Isaac smirked.
"There…now its fair, one on one combat!"
"Fair? How do I know your not gonna do that again?" asked Brad.
"Because I want to see which Zoid is stronger! The Glow or the Shadow? Light dispels shadow, but maybe you are strong; I won't know until I fight you," replied Isaac. "So let's go!"
Both of the fox-type Zoids howled and ran at each other. Both of their claws started to glow as they sped forward.
"Strike Laser Claw!" they both shouted, and their Zoids reached out, claws forward. Naomi squinted her eyes at the bright light that appeared when the two came in contact. The Shadow Fox landed at the same time as the Glow Fox. The Shadow Fox's front left leg cackled with lightning, yet the Glow Fox's back right leg cackled too. It was a draw.


"I never thought I'd see you again, little lady," said Jamie, or Wild Eagle. Pierce blushed but glared at the Raynos' young pilot. The Wild Eagle had already taken out all of the other Zabats except for Pierce's.
"You TWERP. I'm still shocked and amazed that your team actually won the tournament. But now you get to see that the Backdraft Group is back and now stronger than ever!"
The Zabat that Pierce piloted flew fast at the Raynos, yet wasn't even close to the Wild Eagle's skill. The Raynos did a back flip to get behind the Zabat and then he fired the twin sixty-millimeter guns at it. Pierce and the Zabat were down quick.


"I'm Harry Champ! I'm a man destined to be king!"
"That's great Harry, but I'm afraid we have some Zoids to take care."
Sebastian's Iron Kong swung at the Dimantis that was nearing him as Benjamin fired some missiles at some others. Harry's Dark Horn fired its Plasma Particle Gun at a few of the Dimantis, and they were out quick. Suddenly, all of the remaining Dimantis retreated.
"What? Come back here you chickens!" yelled Harry, firing a missile or two at the retreating Zoids.
"Harry, the others must have won. They're leaving, so we can go and check on Leena," said Benjamin. Harry nodded.
"Yes, I have to check on her. SHE MUST BE SO SCARED TO BE ALL ALONE IN SUCH A BIG HOVER CARGO!!"


"You okay now Bit?"
"Yeah, thanks Leena."
Leena patted Bit's bandaged cut lightly and then sat next to him, crossing her ankles. Bit looked a little sad. The two were sitting in the living room, thinking about the previous fights.
"Thinking about Liger?"
Bit turned to Leena and nodded to her question. Leena's face saddened, yet Bit spoke.
"The cockpit is totaled, and who knows whether or not the GSNX is going to keep attacking it. It can never be used again…The Nightmare X won."
Leena looked down to her boots, not sure of what to say. Then, deep in thought, she cocked her head to the side and looked up to the ceiling. Then she raised her eyebrows and turned to Bit with an open grin.
"The GS Nightmare! It can heal itself!"
"I know. But the Liger can't."
"Um…THAT'S where you're wrong."
"WHAT?"
"Heh, heh, heh…You'll know what I mean soon."
Leena got up and ran out of the room. Bit watched her leave, and then when the door slid shut, he looked forward.
"What the heck does she have up her sleeve? I'm almost scared to know…"


"Dad! Have someone retrieve the Liger Zero, QUICK!" commanded Leena as she ran into her father's room. Dr. Tauros was slightly startled but then looked at his daughter.
"Why? Are you going to sell it? Bit may not-"
"No, I'm not SELLING it! We're going to restore it!"
"Leena, there are two BIG holes in the cockpit, and now just recently the two front legs were blown off. How do you expect we fix all of that?"
"Listen, just do it and have a meeting in the hanger. I'll explain then."


Much later, when the Blitz Team, the Flugal ((spelling?)) Team, and the Champ Team all met up in the hanger. The Liger, which was in worse condition than the Doc had said, was not standing, yet other machinery held it up. The other parts that had been blown up or partially destroyed, which Leena made everyone make sure they had them all, were in a heap near the Liger Zero. The three teams and Dr. Tauros looked at Leena, awaiting her explanation.
"Well, I heard Jamie told you all about the component for the Liger known as X, right?" she asked, running her eyes over all of their faces. They all nodded respectively. "And you all know that the Gun Sniper Nightmare can heal itself, right?" More nods. "So, if we find the parts we need to complete the set, then we can create X. And if the GS Nightmare can heal, and its armor is used on the Liger, than the Liger will be able to heal itself. Am I right, or am I RIGHT?"
Bit smirked.
"I'll choose 'or.'"
"Y'know, I don't HAVE to give up my Nightmare…we could just kick you off of the team."
"Fine, you're VERY right. Do you think it'll really work?"
"Of COURSE it will! Do the math. The GSN can heal itself, the Liger needs healing, the GSN can be used as X, and then the healing is passed to Liger Zero X."
"It sounds like it'll work, and it doesn't hurt to give it a try. We have the directions to each hidden part, and the other parts that the GS Nightmare needs are easy to get at any part dealership," said Jamie. Leena nodded.
"Then let's find those parts!!"
