DISCLAIMER: Although the rhyme is cute, I think y'all get the idea: I don't own Zoids!


"Bit?!"
Leena ran into the hangar at a speed almost inhuman. She ran to the middle of the room and turned around, looking for Bit.
"Bit!! Please be in here!" she screamed before falling to her knees in a sob. She cried for a couple of minutes before someone held her in his arms. She squirmed until she saw who it was.
"I was looking for you," said Bit. "I heard an odd noise."
Leena threw her arms around his neck with another sob.
"I thought you had been captured!"
Bit stroked her hair so she could calm down. Leena's shoulders bobbed with every sob.
"I was scared…" Leena admitted once she had calmed. "I haven't been so scared since the chainsaw man incident, and also when I was almost killed by the Berserk Fury."
"I'm not going anywhere, and neither are you," comforted Bit.
"I'll be the judge of that."
It was a cold voice that sent shivers down Bit's spine. When he and Leena turned toward the voice, they saw a woman with long red hair in a ponytail.
"Mom…" Leena breathed.


An hour or so later, Harry, Sebastian, and Benjamin finished loading all of the parts into the storage room near the hangar. Sebastian was rolling along, when abruptly Benjamin pointed at something that Sebastian was about to roll over.
"Hey, bucket head! Be careful where you walk! You're just about to walk on something!" Benjamin scolded.
"Hey! I wonder if it's a note or something," replied Sebastian, picking up the small piece of paper.
"Give me THAT!" exclaimed Harry, bounding in between the two and snatching the paper. After examining it, he decided to show it to Dr. Tauros.


"Where did you find this?" asked Dr. Tauros, looking at the small paper.
"In the hangar," replied Benjamin. Dr. Tauros widened his eyes at what he saw. The paper was signed with red liquid, possibly blood, and the words being Lalia. The 'a' was messy, and it was as if someone was being pulled from the paper. Dr. Tauros jumped up from his seat.
"Harry! Look EVERYWHERE! Bit and Leena! You have got to find them!" he exclaimed. Harry and his robots fled out of the rec. room.
"Sebastian, you go that way! Benjamin, go that way! I'll take this way!" ordered Harry. The robots rolled through two different hallways, while Harry continued forward.
Dr. Tauros was on the phone with the most worried expression he's ever worn.
"Oscar, circle the skies. You can't IMAGINE what's going on here."


Leena awoke in a cold place, and her arms were in an odd position, but were against something comfortable and warm. She tried to move her arms, but she realized that her wrists were handcuffed together. She looked behind her and she saw that she had her arms tied back around a pole, and her hands were against Bit's back, who was tied to the pole as well. She could feel his hands now; they were barely touching her backside.
"Bit, Bit!" she whispered, trying to wake him up.
She then remembered what had happened in the hangar.

****************

"I'll be the judge of that."
Bit and Leena turned to see her, the woman that was wife of Dr. Steve Tauros and mother to Leena Tauros.
"Mom…"
The words barely escaped Leena's lips before Lalia hammer-striked Bit across the face, her ring finger (which had a large ring wrapped around it) cutting his cheek. He fell backwards just as Lalia stood in front of Leena, her eyes glaring.
"Bit!" cried Leena, and then there was a smacking sound. Bit fumbled in his pocket for a pen, but could find none. He did pull out a piece of paper. Bit, feeling blood run down his cheek from his cut, dabbed his finger into the liquid, and put on the sheet the word Lalia.
"Bit! Be careful! Watch it!" warned Leena. Bit had barely finished the last 'a' before he was hit on the head again and knocked out. Leena followed his fate.

****************

"Bit, c'mon, wake up!" Leena pleaded, moving her arms in order to startle him. He jerked awake and turned his head to become face to metal with the pole.
"Bit! You're okay!" exclaimed Leena. He smiled to her and then a door slid open. Lalia and a tall and well-built man padded into the room.
"Huh?" Leena asked, watching the young man as he stepped closer to her. "Who's that?"
He smiled.
"You're Leena I take it?" he answered, brushing a couple of bangs of Leena's out of her face. Leena moved her head away from his hand.
"Yeah, Leena Tauros. Who are you?"
"All you need to know is my first name…"
He leaned near her ear and spoke in a voice softer and hotter than a normal whisper.
"It's Eriol. You'd better remember it…You'll be screaming it later."
Leena's eyes grew wide, and in shock she couldn't move before Eriol placed his lips on her neck, running his tongue on her skin lightly. When reality came to Leena once again, she jerked away from the man. He laughed and withdrew his head from her.
"Just having fun, babe," explained Eriol, smirking slightly.
"Don't call me that," snapped Leena, feeling pure hatred for him already.


"Neither Bit nor Leena are here! I couldn't find them anywhere!" exclaimed Harry. Sebastian and Benjamin were sagging slightly in sorrow for the two who they could not find. Dr. Tauros looked down. Leon gave a glare to Isaac, knowing that the Backdraft Group HAD to pay for all that they were doing.
"Where is the Backdraft Group located?" Leon asked Isaac. Isaac didn't answer. Leon stomped over and grabbed Bit's brother by the collar.
"Tell me! We don't HAVE to keep you here! We can keep you in the main engine room, where you can grow deaf from being in there too long!" warned Leon.
"It's a temporary air base in a black whale king located near the Aroch Mountains. But we have Zabats and other flying Zoids that will protect it, and without your flying Zoid and most of your pilots, how do you say you'll get up there to rescue them anyway?" answered Isaac, cocking an eyebrow.
"How do you know we don't have a flying Zoid or pilot?" asked Dr. Tauros, then he grinned.


"What should I do with them, Lalia?" asked Eriol, licking his lips as he stared at Leena. Lalia looked at him with a smirk.
"I'd like to have a word alone with Bit. You can take Leena away," she replied. Eriol smiled and padded to Leena, released her, stood her up, and cuffed her again. As he made her walk, Leena looked sadly at Bit, not really knowing if she would be okay near this boy. As the door shut, Lalia got up and walked to Bit. She circled him, watching his eyes follow her.
"You love my daughter?" Lalia asked.
"Yes."
"Aren't you afraid of having such a scary mother-in-law?"
"I love her enough to get past it."
"Would you die for her? If her own life depended on sacrificing yourself, would you?"
"…In the risk of sounding selfish and afraid of death, I wouldn't. I know that she would rather die than live a life without the one she loved."
Lalia tilted her head to the side, smiled, and looked to the young man in amusement. Bit swallowed hard.
"But then again, it depends on the circumstances," he finished.
"You're an honest person, Bit Cloud. Leena would not be so honest."
"That's your daughter you're talking about, don't forget."
"My daughter…"
Lalia blinked quick, held her head, and seemed to fade slightly. Bit narrowed his eyes as he looked to the woman in confusion. Lalia looked to him, then ran out of the room. Bit raised an eyebrow, and for some reason, his wrists stopped hurting. He moved them, and realized that the cuffs had disappeared. Bit was amazed, but he knew that this was no time to sit and figure out how the cuffs vanished. He had to find Leena and get rid of this Eriol guy.


Bit ran in the direction he had seen Eriol and Leena go off to. He heard a shriek and ran off in the direction of it. He saw Leena, pinned up against the wall, with the man Eriol being the one who is pinning her. His left was on her chest, while his right hand held both her arms away ((looks like I might hafta bring up the rating a bit…No more G…)). Tears were appearing in Leena's eyes, and Bit saw this and was furious. He hated to see a girl cry, and especially if the girl was his. He grabbed Eriol by the back of his shirt and spun him in order to face him. He pushed him down and put his body in front of Leena's.
"Just WHAT do you think you're doing?" Bit asked, his anger pouring through his voice. Eriol got up and looked to something.
"You see those parachutes?" he asked. Bit let his eyes fly to his right, were there were two parachute bags.
"Yeah…"
"You be using either of them!" shouted Eriol, smacking his hand on a button and then pushing Bit. The button caused a door to open to the endless sky. The push cause Bit to fall out into the endless sky.
"BIT!!!!!!!" screamed Leena, tears pouring out of her face. Suddenly gaining strength, she punched Eriol in the face, which caused him to fall down. She grabbed both of the parachute bags, and after putting one on, she jumped out of the Whale King.
Eriol looked up, saw what Leena did, and cursed loudly.


Leena was scared as she could the ground through a few clouds coming closer to her. She tilted her body toward Bit. Finally, her body was close enough to grab him. She threw the parachute backpack onto him and pulled the string. The parachute flew out and opened up, slowing his descent. She pulled on her own string, and her own parachute poured out and slowed her drop as well. She calmed slightly, looking up at Bit rather than the ground. Then, as if it was just a lucky wind, Leena was level with Bit. She held onto him again, and they both knew they would be safe.
At least, they would be safe from the drop. They didn't know what to expect from life, or when death would knock at their doors.
When the two landed on the ground, they found themselves at the base of the Aroch Mountain. Leena felt an odd chill just looking at the mountain. This was were her mother died, and where the Gun Sniper Nightmare X truly came from. Where it was made and originated. And made Leena's life a living hell ever since she bought the GS Nightmare.


"There they are! Harry! Leon! Get out there and retrieve the blades!" commanded Dr. Tauros. Harry and his two robots sped out toward the hangar to get their Zoids. Leon rushed out after them then mobilized his Red Blade Liger once in the garage. After watching the four of them run out to get the blades, Dr. Tauros called a number that he had forced Isaac to give him.
"Hello?" asked the raven hair-colored man from the message earlier. Dr. Tauros smirked.
"I have here Isaac Cloud. I understand that you have two of my team members, and one member from a friend team. I'd like to trade Isaac for Jamie, the youngest of your hostages."
"Isaac…you fool. How did you get caught? …Fine. Seeing that he's one of our best men, we'll make the trade. Meet us at the Ridgett River to make the trade. Now tell me before I change my mind about the trade. Where are Bit and Leena?" replied the man.
"What? You mean there not at your base thing?" asked Dr. Tauros. The man shrugged.
"We've lost them. Oh well, you do not know either. No matter. Head to the Ridgett River and be there at 6:00 tonight. You have three hours to get there. Good luck," said the man. The screen shut off and Dr. Tauros turned to Isaac.
"Finally able to get rid of you," he sneered.
"Yes, but I'm going back to the Backdraft, so I could strike at any time," snapped Isaac. Dr. Tauros grinned.
"We'll be ready for you."


At 6:00 exactly, the trade was made. Jamie ran over to the Doc and Isaac casually walked to his friend. The two enemies parted ways, neither side looking back. The trade was made, so there would be no confrontation just yet. Jamie looked to Leon, then to Harry, then to the two robots.
"Where's Bit and Leena?" he asked.
"Missing," Dr. Tauros said sadly.
"What? That's not good at all!"
Jamie thought for a moment.
"What about the parts?"
"We have all except for the separator units," answered Harry.
"Well, then I'll get to work on finding that. I think you and your robots should go search for Leena and Bit," said Jamie. Then they all heard a loud hum that sounded like the engine of a Zoid. It was Oscar's Pteras Striker. It landed with a small wave of air, and then the cockpit flew open. Before Oscar could even get up, Leena bounded out of the cockpit and embraced her father.
"Leena!" exclaimed Dr. Tauros, Jamie, Harry, and Leon. Bit jumped out of the Zoid as well, followed by Oscar finally. The two ran to the rest of their friends.
"Dad, Leon, everyone, you wouldn't BELIEVE what happened to us!" exclaimed Leena. Bit put his hand on her shoulder.
"Let's just say we went skydiving."


Inside the Hover Cargo, Leena and Bit explained what happened, and then Dr. Tauros and Leon explained what happened while they were gone.
"The separator units can be found near the base of Aroch Mountain," said Oscar when Jamie mentioned the units. Leena looked to her father.
"Dad, I have a feeling that we have to resolve all of this in the Aroch Mountains. That's were I KNOW we'll find info on the GSNX, the GSN, and then about Mom," she told him. Dr. Tauros nodded, fully agreeing with her.
"We'll head to the Aroch Mountains again tomorrow. We're close already. We'll end this soon, hopefully."


Later on that night, Bit was walking through the hallway that contained Leena and his room. He had a cookie halfway wedged into his mouth, and a fluffy damp towel around his neck. He had just gotten out of the shower. As he passed Leena's room, he heard some humming. He knocked twice and Leena allowed him to come in.
"Hey there, what are you humming?" Bit asked. Leena half-smiled.
"A song my mother used to hum it to me to put me to sleep at nights when I couldn't get to sleep," she answered. Bit sat down on the bed next to her.
"You can't get to sleep?" he asked. Leena nodded sheepishly. Bit smiled, then held her chin, and tilted her head up a bit.
"Let me give you a goodnight kiss then."
Their lips connected in a kiss so sweet. But what started out as a kiss, grew to something much more.


There. I added on. Oh an what I meant by "What started out as a kiss blah blah..." I meant that they...well, let's just say they um, did a lemon. If you want to write a lemon for this story for this chapter, please ask my permission over e-mail. First ask, first serve.
BTW, if any of you watch Card Captor Sakura or ::shudder:: the dubbed Cardcaptors, then I got the name Eriol (Eli for the evil dub) from that. Eriol-kun is my LEAST favorite chara. Gomen ne for all Eriol-kun fans!! ::bows and runs away::
