************************************
Up in the sky, you can see that the blast faded away. At the judge's capsule, the judge was just standing there as the Liger Zero crashed down onto the left side of the judge. It wasn't long until the Iron Monkey crashed as well to its right. They were both worn out and looked like they were both badly damaged. Inside the cockpit of the Liger Zero, Bit looked straight at the Judge, who has already decided on a winner.
Judge: (from Bit's view) The battle is over! The battle is over! (Bit faints) (Max's point of view) The winner is.... (Max faints)
------------------------------------
At the hospital, Layon was laying in his bed watching some TV. While sitting there, he was starting to think to himself about what he has done all his life, what he has become and what will happen to him in the near future. Then someone came into his room. It was a good friend of his, Oscar Hemeros. Just the fact that someone came to see him has brought a smile to his face.
Layon: Oscar. You came to see me?
Oscar: That's what friends are for.
They then started talking about what happened to them in the past and what has happened recently between him and the Blitz team. They were both talking about the good times when they both had each other's backs. Hours have past. Now that Layon was in the hospital, Oscar now had the opportunity. Everything was quiet until the pilot opened his mouth.
Oscar: Listen, I was gonna say this a while ago, but you didn't give me a chance.
Layon: I don't want to relive that memory.
Oscar: Look, I just wanna say that I was the one who wrote the letter.
Layon: ....Why should I believe you?
Oscar: If you can only understand.
Layon: Oh I understand alright. Tauros wants you to make a good excuse for that.
Oscar: That's not how it's like.
Layon: I can see through you Oscar. I know that you're lying! Just watch. Someday, I'm gonna have my revenge!!!
The injured doctor was going crazy. Just to make sure nothing serious happens, Oscar punched Layon in the face. The attack has gotten Layon to not do anything for awhile. The only thing he can do is listen. And from there came something Layon might learn forever.
Oscar: Now I'm just gonna make this quick. Steve was too nervous to write it on his own, so he got me to do it. The problem was that I thought HE was the one who wanted her. And by the time she read the letter, it seemed pretty obvious that she liked him more than you. You're just going to have to live with it! Now years have past and she has died. And now you want revenge? You can't do this. You'll not only hurt yourself when you do this.... you affect others as well. Especially those who care about you. Now I gotta go. (before he leaves the door) Now before I go, I want to say something else.... I know that you were listining. Think this over and maybe you'll finally realize what you've been doing this whole time. (leaves)
As soon as Oscar left, Layon was laying in his bed with his eyes closed. It seemed to him that the worst part of what just happened was listening to the whole thing. He listened to every single word. He tried to forget about it, but they kept going through his head. All this kept circling around like a merry go round that never stops. But in the end, Layon finally fell asleep.
------------------------------------
Layon woke up and found himself in his bed in the hospital. As he looked around, he noticed that the clock was at 5:00 in the morning. It seemed thought that he was okay from the injuries that have happened from the battle. It also seemed that what just happened was just a memory.
Layon:*That didn't happen... That didn't happen... I can't take this anymore...*
He then got out of bed and went for the door that leads to the halls. But before that happened, he got dressed. There weren't much nurses around in the morning, so it was easy for him to wander around. As soon as he got out, he walked straight out of the door. But before any of that happened, the doc found some rooms. He looked inside one room and found Larry and Craig in their beds with casts all over them. He then looked into another door and found Anne in her bed, sleeping nice and quietly with Leena at another. Next, in another room with Brad and Jamie, the door opened to reveal that Layon was looking at them. A few seconds later, he left for his rival's room. He opened the door and found Tauros, who seemed to be alright. As his footsteps made sounds in the office, he looked into one last room, containing Max and Bit. As soon as the final visit was over, the doctor left for the doors.
Layon: *I'm sorry.*
(AN: Does anyone around here play FF8? If you do, remember the scene on disc3 when Squall was carrying Rinoa on the brige? If so, play that music for this scene. It sounds more touching that way.) Somewhere in the desert, when the sun was beginning to rise, someone was walking out of a nearby city. It was Dr. Layon. His Whale King was as badly totaled as Tauros's Hover Cargo along with all the other Zoids that were being repaired. And it was just like what Oscar told him. As he walked a few minutes later, the doctor started to think about what he has done over and over again.
Layon: *Why did I do this? Maybe it WAS just an accident..... Who knows what might happen now. Their team could be unregistered by now. But that wasn't the worst part. Because of what I've done, I could've killed all of them. Couldn't there be another way?...... I guess not. I don't deserve to live now. I never really had a purpose in life anyway.*
While the doctor kept on walking, something fell out of his jacket. He looked down on the ground and found three pictures. The doctor looked down for a few seconds and went to pick them up. As soon as bent down, he picked up one of the pictures that lied on the ground. It was the picture of him and two of his best friends when he was in his university days.
Layon: *I remember this picture.. Just looking at it brings back memories of all the things I did when I was young. Not only that, but it also brings back all the pain that I've has experienced since THAT day.*
He placed the picture back into his pocket and went for another picture that was lying on the ground. It was a picture of Leena. As he looked at it, images of her mother ran through his mind and warm feelings of her has gone into his bloodstream and up to his face.
Layon: * Why, Leena? Why do you have to be involved in this?..*
He coudn't believe that his revenge with one of his friends would involve what was left of the one he loved long ago. Something then came to his eye as he wiped it off. He put that picture in his pocket also and went for the last picture on the ground. As he looked at it, he stood up as images of his past ran through his head. It was the team he has created: the Alpha team.
Layon: *My team. The Alpha team.....
As he looked at the picture, he began to remember how he met each and every single member. No matter how hard he tried, he would never forget all four members. He'll always remember Max, Anne, Larry and Craig. He had images of Max even when he was at his hometown. He remembered that he found the young boy running around in his Iron Monkey. He then remembered Anne, the leader of the Typhoon team. He also remembered that she would always whine everytime her teammates go into battle without her. Memories like that has brought a little laugh to the doc's face. If this was a family, then Larry would definatly be the older brother to Layon's perspective. He was the black sheep of his family: The Champs, so he never told much about his past. Layon really didn't know much about Larry's past, but one thing for sure is that he ended up as a lifeguard. Then there was Craig, the little kid who has somewhat of an ego. All he knew was that he was part of the Backdraft group and left. He knew that all these people were special to him, but he put all of them in danger. He has a choice whether to leave them, or apoligize for all the things he has done. Layon then hung his head down in shame of what he was going to do before this happened. On the ground, you can see that 2 teardrops have splashed against the ground. It wasn't for long until the sound of footsteps followed. (AN: I guess you can stop the music now) Back at the hospital, around 7:00, Craig woke up and found Vega right by his side.
Craig: Vega?
Vega: Hey Thunderwave.
Craig: Hey King.
The two boys weren't alone by the way. The rest of Vega's team was standing right beside him. Not only that, but over at the other side of the room stood the Lightning team and Mary. In Anne and Leena's room, they were visited by Anne's old team mates of the Typhoon team and Leena's brother, Leon with Harry, Benjamin and Sabastian. In Brad and Jamie's room, Naomi and Oscar came through the door. Everyone was happy to see eachother after seeing what happened on that battle. They talked about how cool they were out there and how they could've done better. A few minutes later, Oscar was going outside to the halls, going to check on Steve. Before he could lay his hand on the knob, he heard something running up to him. As he turned around, he found Layon running up to him.
Oscar: So you recovered huh?
Layon: Yeah. I just wanna see Tauros.
Oscar: I think Steve is still out cold.
Tauros: (from inside) It's alright! I'm ok! You can come in.
The both of them then came inside, seeing that the person they were visiting was watching TV. On in was the news about what everyone liked to call the greatest match in Zoid Battle history. Right on the TV were the top scenes of the fights. Layon, looking at the look on Tauros's face, didn't have to ask who won.
Layon: Um.... Look Tauros...
Tauros: You wanna tell me something?
Layon: Look, before anything happens, I just want to say this.
Tauros: (looks at Layon)
Layon: Sometime after the Royal Cup and before the assembling of the Alpha team, I was told that I should forget about the whole thing between us because it was affecting everyone around. I didn't listen because I was stubborn and I thought you sent him to make a sad excuse. After our final battle, I've finally realized that. And I just want to say I'm sorry.
Oscar and Tauros were still looking at him after he stopped. Knowing that this was a private moment, Oscar left the room and went to his son. It wasn't long until the doc got out of his bed and went straight up to him. The two doctors then started to talk some things out. Especially on they are going to tell this to their teams about the match. A few minutes later, in one more room, Max woke up. He started to look around the place and found that Bit was right next to him. Ever since the battle, they were in a four day coma. He then pulled the equipment out of his body and yelled at Bit.
Max: Bit! Wake up!
And with that, the boy woke up and found that he was also in the hospital. He looked around the room to only find his S-class rival. He then pulled off all of the equipment attached to him and looked at the other person across from him.
Bit: ... What happened? How'd we end up here?
Max: I don't know.
Bit couldn't believe it. At one point, her was he was in battle for the Blitz team's future and now he's in the hospital. As he sat there, he was thinking if he lost. The whole team was counting on him. He didn't know what to do now. He was too afraid to even ask. A clueless Max then stepped into the picture.
Max: Anything wrong?
The young boy then looked at his grey eyed rival. He didn't get it. The boy was sitting there as if nothing happened. Things kept running through his head as he looked at Max. Well now that the battle was over, he lightened up and started to congratulate the young boy.
Bit: You did great out there.
Max: Thanks. Same goes for you.
Bit: *Well I can't believe it. Max's team was also on the line, but he doesnt' seem a bit worried. I wonder...* You DO know what you were getting yourself into right?
Max: What do you mean?
Bit: We both put something on the line in that battle, remember?
Max: What?
Bit: You don't know that your team was on the line?
Max: No one told me this.
Bit: Dr. Layon and Dr. Tauros made this an official bet. The loser has to retire.
Every single thing Bit has told Max has broken the young boy's bravery and has reduced him into fear and curiosity. He didn't know what to do. He liked where he was. He was with his second family: the Alpha team. The young boy then started to talk again.
Max: I don't get it.. why?
Bit: Well I might as well tell you.
Minutes passed as Bit filled Max in with every single bit of detail that he can come up with, from the time he used the Zaber Fangs team to the time he fought an unsanctioned battle with Tauros, to the time he joined the Backdraft group and fought them in the mountains, where they had a disadvantage to the time Brad "betrayed" the Blitz team by using Layon's Shadowfox and to the time he tried to stop Tauros from getting to the finish line in the Royal cup.
Max: So I was used?
Bit: Yeah. This was all one big scheme to get us at our own game.
Max: I can't believe this..
Before anything else happened, the doorknob turned and the door opened. It was Layon and Tauros. The nurse has given them permission to come into their room, knowing the fact that they're well recovered. The nurse then left and closed the door, leaving an upset and confused Max talking.
Max: Doc.. Why was I on the Alpha team?
Layon: (stunned speechless) What are you saying?
Max: Bit told me you only formed this team just to get revenge on the Dr. Tauros. It is true?
Layon then brought his head down in shame. He didn't know what to do now. Max was right. He was used as a pawn in his little twisted mind game. But there was nowhere left to run and there was nowhere left to hide. So he started talking.
Layon: ... Yes... I created the Alpha team because I wanted revenge on Tauros.
Max:... Why?
Layon: Something happened in the past that has caused this rivalry to start. But I guess Bit over there has told you about the whole thing... But I changed...
Bit: Really? When?
Layon: Ever since that battle. I've been told by a close friend of mine that I should change my ways... So I'm making a new start and now I want the Alpha team with me. Not for revenge, but for us... So you forgive me?
Hearing what Layon has just said, Max had no idea what to say now. Somehow, it's like all of this is coming out of nowhere. It's almost like some screwed up drama that ends up with the worst ending ever. He then decided to speak.
Max: ... Alright.
Layon: (looks at Max and smiles) Just don't tell the others. Ok?
Max: .. Ok.... Secret's safe with me.
Bit: But.. wait... does that mean.... we lost?
Tauros: Bet's off. No one's retiring.
Max: You serious?
Layon: Uh huh. You're all staying.
Max: But who won the match?
Tauros: (starts smiling) We did of course. We ended your winning streak.
Bit: You mean we won!?
Layon: You just got lucky, Bit.
The news was also spread to everyone else. In each room, everyone was celebrating and in other rooms. Some others were whining over the lost, thinking that they could've won if they fought the Liger Zero (AN: CoughCraigCough), and others were just laying back, thinking that there's always another day. Back in Max and Bit's room, Max lied down on his bed, laughing away, thinking that there was going to be no more Alpha team.
Layon: Well I hope you're happy.
Tauros: We're going to go now. You need your rest. We're out of here by tomorrow and we have a big match against the other S class teams.
Max: What about the Zoids?
Layon: They're repaired. Just get some rest.
The two doctors then opened the door and headed out. After they closed the door, Bit lied back down as well. Max tried to sleep, but he was so exited, that he couldn't even close his eyes. He then turned to Bit and found that he was looking back at him.
Bit: Can you believe it. You get to stay.
Max: I don't know what to say.
Bit: ... Max.
Max: Yeah?
Bit: Can't wait to battle you again.
Max: I could see it all now. Just wait, I'm going to beat you once and for all.
Bit: We're just going to have to see...
Max: Until then, consider this revenge..
Max then closed his eyes just for a little while. As he opened it and looked at Bit, he found the guy sleeping. Thinking that was a good idea, Max closed his eyes and fell asleep also. In his dreams, he can already see what the future has to bring the two boys....
--------------------
It was a gloomy stormy night and the whole world was watching their televisions. What they were seeing was a plain desert. In that desert stood two Zoids. No one interfered with their little bout but the judge that was refereeing the match. The judge in the middle then raised both of his arms way up high and in a split second, crossed them. Inside the cockpits, all you can see are them hidden in the shadows. Outside, the two Zoids then ran up as their claws started to glow. As the jumped and made contact with each other, everything flashed into black. (AN:You know how movies like that end)
*The End*
*... maybe...*

Craig: Vega?
Vega: Hey Thunderwave.
Craig: Hey King.
The two boys weren't alone by the way. The rest of Vega's team was standing right beside him. Not only that, but over at the other side of the room stood the Lightning team and Mary.

Max: I can't believe this..
Before anything else happened, the doorknob turned and the door opened. It was Layon and Tauros. The nurse has given them permission to come into their room, knowing the fact that they're well recovered. The nurse then left and closed the door, leaving an upset and confused Max talking.
Max: Doc.. Why was I on the Alpha team?
Layon: (stunned speechless) What are you saying?
Max: Bit told me you only formed this team just to get revenge on the Dr. Tauros. It is true?
Layon then brought his head down in shame. He didn't know what to do now. Max was right. He was used as a pawn in his little twisted mind game. But there was nowhere left to run and there was nowhere left to hide. So he started talking.
Layon: ... Yes... I created the Alpha team because I wanted revenge on Tauros.
Max:... Why?
Layon: Something happened in the past that has caused this rivalry to start. But I guess Bit over there has told you about the whole thing... But I changed...
Bit: Really? When?
Layon: Ever since that battle. I've been told by a close friend of mine that I should change my ways... So I'm making a new start and now I want the Alpha team with me. Not for revenge, but for us... So you forgive me?
Hearing what Layon has just said, Max had no idea what to say now. Somehow, it's like all of this is coming out of nowhere. It's almost like some screwed up drama that ends up with the worst ending ever. He then decided to speak.
Max: ... Alright.
Layon: (looks at Max and smiles) Just don't tell the others. Ok?
Max: .. Ok.... Secret's safe with me.
Bit: But.. wait... does that mean.... we lost?
Tauros: Bet's off. No one's retiring.
Max: You serious?
Layon: Uh huh. You're all staying.
Max: But who won the match?
Tauros: (starts smiling) We did of course. We ended your winning streak.
Bit: You mean we won!?
Layon: You just got lucky, Bit.
The news was also spread to everyone else. In each room, everyone was celebrating and in other rooms. Some others were whining over the lost, thinking that they could've won if they fought the Liger Zero (AN: CoughCraigCough), and others were just laying back, thinking that there's always another day. Back in Max and Bit's room, Max lied down on his bed, laughing away, thinking that there was going to be no more Alpha team.
Layon: Well I hope you're happy.
Tauros: We're going to go now. You need your rest. We're out of here by tomorrow and we have a big match against the other S class teams.
Max: What about the Zoids?
Layon: They're repaired. Just get some rest.
The two doctors then opened the door and headed out. After they closed the door, Bit lied back down as well. Max tried to sleep, but he was so exited, that he couldn't even close his eyes. He then turned to Bit and found that he was looking back at him.
Bit: Can you believe it. You get to stay.
Max: I don't know what to say.
Bit: ... Max.
Max: Yeah?
Bit: Can't wait to battle you again.
Max: I could see it all now. Just wait, I'm going to beat you once and for all.
Bit: We're just going to have to see...
Max: Until then, consider this revenge..
Max then closed his eyes just for a little while. As he opened it and looked at Bit, he found the guy sleeping. Thinking that was a good idea, Max closed his eyes and fell asleep also. In his dreams, he can already see what the future has to bring the two boys....
--------------------
It was a gloomy stormy night and the whole world was watching their televisions. What they were seeing was a plain desert. In that desert stood two Zoids. No one interfered with their little bout but the judge that was refereeing the match. The judge in the middle then raised both of his arms way up high and in a split second, crossed them. Inside the cockpits, all you can see are them hidden in the shadows. Outside, the two Zoids then ran up as their claws started to glow. As the jumped and made contact with each other, everything flashed into black. (AN:You know how movies like that end)
*The End*
*... maybe...*
************************************
A/N: You know what the worst part of making the story for me is? Ending it. I can't seem to get the whole thing right! But if you think this ending could be better, then let me know.
And Zoids / Zero : Revenge is finally over! Please review and tell me what you think.
*Attention*
I have a few questions:
* What do you think?
* You think this ending sucks?
* You think I should shorten this?
* You think I should take out the non important parts of the fic?
* You think I should do a sequel?
* If so, you think it should go 13 or 26 chps?
If there's anything that you think needs work on, please tell me.
Thanks for your cooperation and for reading my first fic.
