Author note: I'm just warning that this is the last chapter to this book, unless you want a sequel. Enjoy my crazy come back.
I am working on a story about WaterWings past called Forever. Look for it VERY SOON.
Thanks VERY much for all the wonderful reviews you have given me. Now I have to go send you all hot fudge, brownie sundaes in the mail….. hmmmm…. I think the mailmen might get a bit mad at me when they try to deliver them all. Just think of the GOOP!!
Leena walked through the deserted halls of the UG's Whale King. The shadows that danced across the walls freaked her out about as much as the occasional shout, pleading, screams, and cries that echoed through the halls.
Every now and then the hallway would split into different parts, both equally gloomy and some were decorated in pictures of mystical beasts. If she had the time, she would of liked to study what the pictures depicted, but all that was on her mind was finding Bit, and soon.
"Why does this place have to be so… so dark and mysterious?" She whispered to her self. Places like this made you do that, made you whisper. She crept silently along, tightly holding the gun she had "borrowed" from Tom.
The hallways kept splitting up, and she could only hope that she was choosing the right passage. Since she had been continually taking the left way for the last half an hour, she decided it was time to go right. How big was this Zoid she thought?
Leena walked on for another minute or so until she heard a nervous laugh down the corridor a bit that sounded like… Harry!
"What could he possibly be doing here?" she asked her self in hoarse whisper.
All though she really did NOT want to see the jerk who thought he was destined to be king, her feet automatically sped up their pace.
She kept listening for his voice, and picked up a slight trace every few minutes, until she finally thought she had found the right room. It was a licorice colored door with a small keyhole at waist level.
Bending down, her ears at alert and her eyes glued to the keyhole, she tried to figure out what was going on inside the room. The view was definitely not like watching a movie on a large screen, more like seeing just the bottom corner of the movie and trying to figure out what the movie was all about.
An hour seemed to of past, but she still couldn't figure out what was happening, considering she all she saw was feet. Talking about boring! And Harry for the first time had shut up, now why did he NEVER do that for her? Figures, just my luck she thought.
She started to stand up, her back was getting sore, but some one grabbed her arm from behind and twisted it behind her back and held it there.
"You're at my mercy now, give me back my gun." Tom's voice commanded from behind her.
"Now why would I do a stupid thing like that? Give a gun to a murderer, I don't think so." Leena replied laughter filled her voice; it was the laughter she was trying to hold back.
How could she possibly be laughing? Tom mentally asked himself, but he must of said it out loud, 'cause Leena heard it, plain as day.
"Why am I laughing? 'Cause you can have a gun, a knife or any other weapon and I'd never be at your mercy." She offered matter-of-factly.
Then, Leena used the firm hold he had on her arm for balance and flipped behind him, kicking off the wall for a head start (then add the time freeze and you got matrix). She landed, now his arm was behind his back, held by one of Leena's hands, the other hand was on his neck. The gun lay on the floor, forgotten.
"Now look. Talking about changing positions!" Leena said smugly.
"Don't kill me! Please!" Tom begged like the true coward he was.
"I'm no murderer." Leena told him calmly, "But I can be when I mad, and I'm way past that point now!"
She shoved him into the door, which caused it to cave in, and she saw what was inside the room.
It was bright, with fancy chandeliers hanging from a ceiling that went up about two floors. The walls were painted velvety black, and the floor was a pale shade of gold. A buffet table was neatly placed at one side of the room, with cooks behind it. A man, correction: Rocky was sitting in a gold throne that over looked the entire room; Harry stood next him. People in fancy outfits were walking around and talking. And in the corner farthest from the door, was a black cage.
"Hey, did I crash the party? Sorry that I didn't wear something nice." Leena said loudly as she made her way to Rocky, kicking Tom behind her. He curled up and moaned loudly.
Everyone stopped and stared at the girl who had just barged into the lounge of the UG's Whale King without permission. That she took out Tom without blinking an eye made them all think that they had seriously underestimated this girl.
Grabbing a desert from the banquet table, Leena ignored the crowd's stupefied glares and walked directly up to where Rocky was sitting. She looked at him and took a big bite of the dessert.
"What are you doing here? You should be dead." Rocky said.
"Well I'm not. Do you ever learn? You can try to kill me, you can take my team, but nobody messes with my boyfriend." Leena told him while licking her fingers off.
Two men approached her from behind and each grabbed her wrist and shoulder tightly.
Then Rocky turned to Harry, "Would you care to do the honors?"
"Of course I would." Harry answered him with a big smile.
Two more men went to the cage, opened it and dragged Bit out. He was wrapped tightly in ropes, from elbows to just below his knees. They tossed him down on the floor in front of Rocky and Harry. Leena just glared at the men while thinking of her next move.
Bit was able to get into a sitting position after a lot of struggling.
He looked around, why was Harry standing in front of him with a gun? Oh yeah, Harry was going to kill him. But what was Leena doing there? Looked like eating as usual.
"Leena!" He cried.
"Bit! Get out of there!" She shouted at him.
He tried, but he couldn't get up, not with the ropes tied as they were. He turned to face Harry…
Leena knew Bit couldn't get loose, and she knew that she wouldn't either, at least not that easily, "C'mon Bit!" she pleaded.
She looked at Harry, he was loading a gun, then she looked at the two men who held her stiff, and got an idea.
She looked at the one on her right side.
"Excuse me, but why are you putting so much effort into keeping me here, after all I'm only a weak girl and you are two strong men." She said to him.
"I don't know." The guy answered. The guy looked like he was missing quite a few marbles which was what Leena was counting on.
"Well, then can you at least loosen your grip, it kind of hurts." She told him, pasting a flirty smile on her face and batting her eyes at him.
"Uh.. Yea, I guess… Sure." He said looking at her. His partner was also staring at her and both did as she asked.
This is easier than I thought… Just keep batting the ole eyes and these simpering fools will do almost anything. Men!!
She kicked the guy on the right then threw him into the other guy, "Here's a tip, don't listen to hot girls."
She looked at Harry; he was pointing the gun at Bit. Bit was still struggling trying to get away but the ropes wouldn't give in.
Leena ran as fast as she could towards Bit.
Harry's finger reached for the trigger.
Leena ran even faster, they were only a few yards away but it seemed like miles and she seemed to go in slow motion.
Harry began to pull the trigger.
Leena threw herself between the gun and Bit at the last second.
Harry quickly dropped the gun, "Leena, sweetie, what are you doing? I could have killed you sweetheart!"
"I don't know. But I do know that love makes you do strange things. Oh, and I am NOT your sweetheart or soul mate for that matter." Leena said disgustingly.
"Sweetie, please move, if I kill him then we can be together forever" Harry told her completely ignoring her previous statement.
"You'll have to kill me first." Leena replied.
"But…If I kill you, we can't be together!" Harry protested.
God was he a moron or what! Leena thought.
Leena turned to Bit and sat down in front of him, so she was still between the gun and him. Using her fingernails, she picked at the rope, finally it split, and Leena unwrapped it.
Bit stood, rubbing the circulation back into his arms.
"C'mon Bit!" Leena yelled at him, and started running toward the door she had just demolished on the way in.
They trampled over Tom like a doormat and ended up in the hall. Leena picked up the gun and they ran the same way she had come. Trying to remember which way was proving to be difficult. They heard the UG people tracking them.
"C'mon Bit – faster" Leena yelled. They suddenly ran into a dead end.
"Leena – where are we?" Bit asked.
Leena looked around, this corridor didn't look familiar at all. There were no mythical beasts on the walls but strange lettering instead. Why a corridor would end just like that mystified her. She ran her hand across the letters and suddenly the end of the hallway opened up before them.
"this is pretty cool. WaterWings doesn't even have this" Leena told Bit.
The passage they found themselves in ended up being a short cut to the hangar. "Looks like we lost them Bit" Leena said.
Before they knew it, they were back in the mouth, with the freaky picture of Ruhk. Leena looked out of the gap in the Whale Kings mouth and noticed that they were very far up.
Bit turned to Leena, "Is there some way you can get Waterwings up here?" he asked desperately.
"I'm not sure. But I'll try." Leena answered.
"Leena, in case we die…" Bit's voice trailed off as the sound of running feet filled the hall behind them.
"Bit, we're not going to die." Leena assured him and kissed him quickly. Guess they used the short cut too she thought.
"Waterwings!" She cried. Her voice seemed to echo off the clouds. She called again and heard a growl from far off.
A couple tense minutes later while Bit blockaded the enterance from the hallway so the UG team couldn't get to them, the Zoid came into view.
Waterwings forced the mouth of the huge Zoid open easily and Bit and Leena hopped in just as the barricade crashed in and the UG team came pouring into the mouth.
Waterwings (in its normal form) pointed its tail at the Whale King and fired at the main engine. It was a direct hit and soon smoke came pouring out of the injured Zoid. In slow motion the red fish Zoid fell all the way to the ground.
Leena and Bit didn't bother to see if the UG team got out ok. They were more interested in themselves. Bit couldn't believe he was still alive and that Leena was the one that saved him. Leaning over, he kissed her and said thanks.
Waterwings flew its lovey dovey passengers back to the hover cargo…
They were back at the Toros base an hour later and were eating a large dinner to celebrate the defeat of the UG/RG.
"How was the battle?" Leena asked Brad, when she finished telling everyone what happened on the Whale King.
"Well, Jamie turned into Wild Eagle and completely annoyed the UG, so they paid more attention to him, which gave me a nice chance to crash the party. It was easy." Brad explained, "But we didn't get any prize money."
Everyone sweat dropped at his last sentence.
"I'm going outside." Bit said suddenly, and he carried his plate to the kitchen.
"I'm going too" Leena said as soon as he left the room.
She met him outside.
They looked at each other. No words were needed, their eyes said it all, expressed the one thing that they both knew: They loved each other.
And to make this end the way most fairytales do:
They embraced each other into a passionate kiss.
~The End~
So, did you like? I may or may not write a sequel, depends on if a lot of you want me to. Please review with strawberry ice cream, melted marshmallow, caramel, nuts, whipped cream and a strawberry on top and a slice of strawberry pie on the bottom.
