To the Reviewers:
Gundum Deathscythe Hell: My messed up mind comes up with the names I use, and you pronounce Uinop you-in-op, almost exactly the way it's spelled.
To Everyone: Thanks for not flaming me! It's really nice knowing that people keep their mouths closed when it comes to nasty opinions! (I didn't mean that in a bad way)
And, here's your story:
________________________________________________________________________
"What do you mean, final battle?" Bit asked as he watched the kid scurry away.
"And what do you mean by that child's life depends on it, as well as our team's?" Leena asked.
"The final battle is supposedly going to be a battle that decides the fate of the world. The Uinop Gang is going to challenge you to a Zoid battle…" Tom began, but Leena cut him off.
"How are they going to do that? They have no Zoids! And how are they going to make the Zoids battle commission or us agree with it? They have to be the Backdraft group to even think of pulling a stunt like this!" Leena exclaimed.
"They have built a red judge, and they have already blown up the ZBC's base. They threatened a custom shop to build them really strong Zoids. They're going to force you to battle; after all, they do have your teammates. And the Backdraft group can't stand them any more then I can." Tom replied, staring at Leena's clenched fists.
"Uh-huh. I got that. How did they capture our Team?" Leena asked.
"Well, the guards in this place are lousy. So all they had to do was sneak up on them." Tom answered, and then looking around he asked, "Can we go inside now?"
As they reluctantly let Tom in the base, Leena was still fuming over losing control of the situation. They all headed toward the kitchen.
When they were all seated, they talked about how they were going to beat the Uinop Gang, when a picture of a man with black, triangle shaped glasses and a Backdraft uniform appeared on the video screen.
"Blintz Team, we are aware of the final Battle, and would like to help you defeat them." He said.
"Yeah, we're aware of it too, but why would the Backdraft group WANT to HELP US?" Leena asked.
"We want to help you because the UG tried to steal our Elephander, and shoot down our Whale King!" The guy answered.
"How do we know that once the battle's over your team won't turn against us?" Bit asked.
"You don't, but at least we're offering to defeat those idiots!" The guy looked exasperated as he sounded.
"Okay, whatever. You can help." Leena announced.
"Fine. We shall have a meeting at Tom's tomorrow." The guy said, and the screen went blank.
"Well that makes things more interesting" Bit said.
"I shall see you all tomorrow back at my restaurant around noon". Tom got up from the table and let himself out. Leena looked like she was ready to go after him but Bit put his hand on her arm and held her back. Looking down at his arm, Leena didn't know whether she wanted it there or not. Since I am not shaking it off, guess I want it there she thought….
Next day, noon…
What was left of the Blintz Team stood outside of the abandoned restaurant; with the two people they hated the most, Tom, and the Backdraft's Altile (if that's even his name).
"So how are we going to defeat them?" Bit asked. He was referring to the UG, of course.
"Leave that to me." Tom said confidently.
"And what are YOU going to do?" Altile asked
"Get rid of Rocky." He answered happily.
"Yeah, then he's gone, but what about the rest of the UG?" Leena asked.
"That's your problem." Tom answered.
"Who's Rocky?" Altile asked
"Rocky is the leader of the UG." Bit offered.
"I get it, without Rocky they have no one to take orders from and become vulnerable. Would it work the same way with the Backdraft?" Leena said smiling very sweetly.
Altile stepped back "Don't get any ideas young lady!"
Leena made her smile a bit evil and just widened her eyes at him.
"But couldn't we make it a bit less violent?" Bit asked.
"I guess." Tom answered, all the happiness fading from his voice.
"Good. So what are we going to do?" Leena asked.
A light went on in Bit's brain. "I have an idea." Bit said.
"Oh no." Leena muttered.
Bit shot her a what-do-you-mean-by-that look. Leena just rolled her eyes at him in response.
"What's your plan?" Altile asked
Bit told them what he had in mind. They all listened carefully.
(A/N: Guess you'll have to wait and see what it is.)
"I'm not sure it'll work, but we have nothing else." Tom said sadly (he had really been looking forward to murdering Rocky).
"I have to agree with Tom, it's a seventy-five percent chance of failure." Leena said.
"We still have a twenty-five percent chance of success then." Bit replied smugly.
"It's crazy; just the kind of thing my group likes." Altile said.
"Great. Everyone agrees. Now we just have to wait." Bit said.
Two days later, four pm…
Leena and Bit were in the lounge of the Toros base. Tom was locked in a small empty room, which he was not happy about and Altile was on his Whale King, which was parked outside. They were all waiting for the UG to call.
"Are they ever going to challenge us?" Bit asked.
"I hope they do soon. I'm getting fed up with all this waiting." Leena replied.
She leaned over, letting her head drop on Bit's shoulder. He put his arm around her, and held her tightly. Leena looked at him, he looked back.
"Leena," Bit said.
"What?" Leena asked.
"I love you." Bit looked at her like she might bolt any second.
"I know." Leena whispered, and then she leaned in and kissed him. This time they weren't interrupted and Bit returned the kiss wholeheartedly. Wow they both thought at the same time. They finally pulled apart. Then they just stared at each other in amazement until they heard a strange, yet familiar voice.
"Hey Insanity girl and Lover boy. Anyone home?" The voice rang out down the hall from the entrance to the base. They really should learn to lock the doors Leena thought.
They reluctantly turned away from each other and saw the guy who had called Leena insane after she hit Tom with the sink.
"Who are you?" Bit asked, he already knew, but he had to follow the plan.
"He's the guy from the RG who called me insane, remember?" Leena told Bit, acting out her part.
"My name is Rocky. I am in charge of a different gang. Called the Uinop Gang. I no longer work for that jerk, Tom." The guy said.
"What happened to Tom?" Bit asked.
"No idea and none of my concern any more. Now, I came here to challenge you to a Zoid battle." Rocky replied. He swaggered up to them and glared.
Leena smirked. Tom was down the hall, banging on a closet door begging to get out. "Why should we accept?" She asked.
"Because, I have your team. If you want them back you will battle. To prove it to you" Rocky turned around and yelled out the door "Bring them in."
The rest of the UG appeared shoving three people into the room. Brad, Jamie, and Dr. Toros stumbled inside with their wrists bound tightly behind their backs. They looked dirty like they hadn't taken any showers lately but otherwise seemed unharmed.
"Oh. So, that's what happened to them!" Bit exclaimed, pretending to be surprised.
"Yes, now will you accept? That is if your team members mean anything to you." Rocky replied. He smirked down at the couple on the couch.
"Do we really have a choice?" Leena asked. She separated herself from Bit and stood up facing Rocky. She hated having to look up at people, specially people that annoyed her like Rocky did.
"Not unless you want your team to die." Rocky replied.
"We accept." Bit said as he stood up next to Leena and held her arm. He was afraid she might ruin their plan with her quick temper. It wouldn't be the first time her temper got them in trouble.
"Good. We shall meet in the desert seven miles east from this base, in one hour." Rocky said. He then turned and stormed out of the base. The UG following with their prisoners in tow.
Five minutes later…
Leena walked down the hall. She opened the door to the closet that Tom was locked in. He fell out.
"They came over." She said. "You almost gave yourself away by all the racket you were making!"
" You stay locked in a room for a couple days and see if YOU can be quiet. At least they showed up and we can get this show on the road. Where is the match going to be?" Tom asked. He started down the hallway, stretching his legs. He couldn't wait to get away from these kids.
"In an hour, on the desert, which messes up the plan completely." Leena replied. She started biting on a nail while looking at Bit hoping he had an answer to their problem.
It did screw up the plan. They needed more time to make their plan work.
"If we could get someone to keep them busy while we set up the trap…" Tom said.
Leena had an idea.
"We need the Backdraft group to help in the battle, but I think I know someone else who can help us." Leena muttered, then she ran to tell Bit what she had in mind.
"Good idea, it should work." Bit said when she had finished telling him her idea.
Leena skipped over to the screen and called Layon's Whale King.
"Hi, Leena, what is it, come to ask for a rematch?" Layon asked when he saw her.
"No, we need your help." Leena replied.
"What for?" Layon asked.
"Ever heard of the Uinop Gang?" Leena asked him.
"Yes I have heard of those idiots!" Layon said looking interested.
"Good, anyway, we need you to battle them for a little while, hold them off basically. We are going to get rid of the UG for good." Leena said.
"I'd love to. Now where's Toros?" Layon asked.
Leena's face fell. "He, Jamie, and Brad have been kidnapped by the UG."
"They were? I'm the only one who can get revenge on Toros! When and where is the battle?" Layon yelled.
"One hour in the desert seven miles east of the base." Leena answered. "Thanks!"
When Leena was done, Bit called Rocky on the video.
"What do you want?" He spat. He really did have a temper Bit thought. Hopefully he will act reckless and that will give us another edge.
"We have something you might find interesting. Come over and see." Bit replied, turning the screen off. He loved hanging up on rude people. Serves him right.
"We're ready." He said, turning to Leena.
"Great!" She said, and walked outside over to the Backdraft Whale King.
Its mouth opened to let her in.
It was dark and gloomy inside, but Leena knew where she was going after all she had been taken hostage on this carrier Zoid.
She walked through the hanger, down a hall, and finally she walked into the control room looking for Altile. He was there going through final battle plans.
"Altile, they have called, Rocky is coming over. Tell your team to get ready and come with me." She told him. Turning around and leaving with out looking behind her to see if he would follow.
Fifteen minutes later…
The Whale King had taken off, leaving a few Backdraft members and Altile in the Toros base with Leena.
Leena quickly showed the Backdraft members where to hide and instructed them on being quiet. Only a minute later, after the Backdraft members had been hidden in the lounge, there was a loud knock on the door.
Leena answered it. Rocky stood there, and he was not alone.
"Come in." Leena said warmly. Standing aside, Rocky started down the hallway.
She shut the door behind them, and she picked up something long and brown that had been sitting behind the door.
"What is it that I might find interesting?" Rocky asked.
"It's interesting that you fell for a lousy trap." Leena answered, hitting him on the head with the baseball bat with all her might. Rocky went down with a thud. Leena then turned on the others in his group. She started swinging the bat back and forth. Wow she thought, at this rate I can get drafted by a major league baseball team! Knocking them all unconscious, she called over to the Backdraft group to help her. They dragged their limp bodies to the same small room they had used for Tom. Dumping the group inside and locking the door behind them, Leena looked up to Bit with a big smile on her face.
"That was fun! Can we do it again?" Leena asked Bit hopefully.
Shaking his head and thinking – this is the girl I love? They really mean it when they say Love is blind! "No – Now its time to deal with the battle and get our team back." Bit said.
Sorry it took me soooooo long to post! I've been really busy (one of my teachers assigned a report five months ago, and I never did it), I really am trying to finish this! Also, sorry that this is chapter is mostly talk, I had to explain some things, but the next chapter will be the final battle (doesn't mean it's the last chapter). Don't be surprised if the next chapter isn't posted until next week. PLEASE REVIEW! And PLEASE R&R for my songfic: Songs Cant be Shattered.
