Nightmare
By: Random echo
A Zoids fan fiction
Authors note: Expecting a different title? Well I changed it at the last minute, short cut and simple. This was the one you chose! Actually this is just the prologue. Sorry for any grammar/ spelling mistakes. Flamers, don't waste your time! For those of you who wanted Bit/Leena, I'll fit it in. ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own any of zoids characters, or etc.
Prologue(kind of short, sorry)
The annoying beep of any alarm, mostly an alarm that is to wake you may seem like the most irritating thing. Not so much as the noise, but as its meaning that you have to drag yourself out of bed in order to live the day ahead.
Although this case was definitely different. The annoying alarm sound seemed to flood Leena's room at a bright eight o' clock in the morning. Time to get up, and moving. When normally you or me would slowly drag themselves out of bed, or ignore the alarm entirely, Leena sprang from her bed with a smile on her face.
Running over to the calendar she had posted on her wall, she checked the date, as if she wasn't sure it was a dream or not.
Her eyes went wide and she threw her hands up in victory a second later.
"This makes me seventeen today!"(Actually I didn't know how old Leena was, so I just took a random guess.)
There was a loud knock on the door, and a second later, Doctor Steven Toros, Leena's father let himself in.
She quickly flipped around to meet her dad.
"Hey Leena I forgot to mention, Leon's on the phone for you."
Leena ran over to the phone, and an imagine of her brother in the front of the Flugel Transporter thing came up.
"There's my favorite little sis." He said innocently, as if he was taunting her.
"Cut the chit chat, don't you know what day it is?" She had expected something more like Happy Birthday, but since it wasn't, she couldn't hold herself back from asking.
"Nope..." Leon said the sarcasm so thick you could drown in it.
"ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!" She yelled, like she almost believed him.
Leon sweat dropped. "So what'd you get me?" She asked leaning toward the screen.
"Anxious aren't we." He was just taunting her, in a playful way anyhow.
"Spit it out Leon!!!" She yelled so loud, you could hear a crash from the other room.
"Geez, calm down sis. Anyway I already dropped it off there. You'd have to ask dad for the new installments, but its just something for your gun sniper."
Leena hopped it place, then said a quick thanks to her brother, and sped off toward the kitchen nearly killing Jamie as she did.
"Hey dad!!!" She leaped into the room, as she was in an incredibly good mood today. Jamie was now just entering the room, Bit and Brad at the table, and her dad was sitting at the couch.
"You'd think right." Bit just finished saying something to Brad, as Leena came in.
Leena flashed her dad a smile, like she was going to say something, but something else caught her eye.
"BIT!!! THAT'S MY DONUT!" Bit nearly fell back out of his seat, panicking as he made a run for the door.
But Leena, just coming in, beat him to it, then locked it.
Bit fled to the other side of the table hiding behind Jamie and Brad.
"Save me Jamie."
Brad took a small sip of his coffee then said.
"Bit I know how much Leena and you flirt, but there's no use in me just getting blood one my new suit trying to help you. It wasn't cheap ya know."
"Ahh!!! That's no help Brad!" Bit said shivering.
Leena had that evil glare, and fire in her eyes one second, and in the next she just fell back on the couch which seemed to surprise everyone.
"Look I could of beaten the hell out of you, but I'm in a good mood today. I don't want that to be ruined."
She said sitting up. Toros seemed to be pondering about something just as she said that.
"That's wonderful idea Leena, you could use your share of the money to go on a shopping spree." Doc announced.
Leena nodded her head eagerly.
Bit just coming out of his hiding place, gave a confused look.
"I don't get it, what's the big idea?"
Brad just gave him the your-a-bit-slow-on-things look.
"Its Leena's birthday today."
"Hey you didn't know when my birthday was either Brad." Leena shot back.
"Naomi told me, her brother Leon was buying parts for the....yeah...said to much." He stopped.
Bit grinned knowing this was the time to say "And you and Naomi have been spending a lot of time together haven't you Brad." Which would result in a swift hit in the ribs, which is exactly what happened.
A blue faced Bit fell to the ground slowly.
Leena looked at them with those small black dots for eyes, top face blue, and a sweat drop, then turned to her dad.
"I think I'll do that...." She said slowly backing out.
Later that day seemed very promising indeed. Leena had already spent a large amount of her share of money on new guns for her gun sniper hoping this would at last improve her zoid.
She paused at the intersection, examining the shops. At last her eyes fell upon 'The Parts shop'. She took a short glance at the street for cars, and proceed across the street, oblivious that a car is speeding towards her from the other direction. When she finally realizes a car is speeding towards her it is too late.
The driver slammed on his breaks, but they didn't stop in time.
Screeeeeeeeccccchhhh! CRASH!
Everyone gathered around to see what the accident had been. Instead of lying on the road Leena had been hit with such speed she was launched backward crashing through a glass phone both, and pounding hard into a steel garage door.
Leena was out before she could even scream in pain.
*People surrounding had just enough time to see the reckless driver slam on his breaks, but to late to avoid the girl. The girl was now unconscious, and critically injured. A few from crowd in disbelief quickly dialed the police hoping it would be soon enough to save the girl. The driver surprised at this, took off ramming over a tree as he ran.
Another car arrived seconds after, running up to the girl. The townspeople only watched as the small group picked the girl up, shattered glass dropping to the ground, and carrying her into the car.
The blue car that Leena was brought into sped off, disappearing into the distance.

Leena, if you asked, couldn't tell you what happened. Although she could tell you that it really really hurt. Some people when they wake up from a serious injury would quickly spit out that they couldn't feel their leg, or arm, or in Leena's case entire body. Still Leena couldn't say that. She could feel her body, and it hurt.
Realizing she'd just awoken from something that hurt to much to be a nightmare, faintly moved her arms and legs assuring herself she still had them. In the worst situation you may ever find yourself in, and no matter how doomed you may feel, you may just find that certain thing funny. Leena laughed to herself quietly. She was laughing at the irony. The irony that she went out for the best day of her life, but instead had the worst.
"She's awake!" Muttered a voice, one that Leena didn't recognize.
Leena tried to snap her eyes open only to find she could only see out of one. It was as if she went blind in the other eye, which scared her.
But with the one eye she could see from, bright lights were shinning into her eye causing her to look away. A second later the light dimmed so she could make out the figure of two people. One must have been a girl at shape, the other one she couldn't tell.
"Can you remember your name?" The girl figure asked.
"Leena....Leena Toros" She said quietly.
"Toros, you've been in a coma for three years. Welcome back to the real world."
Leena nearly bolted out the place she was on, if she could have, but her entire body already ached in pain at the mere thought.
'Three years, three years of my life I'll never get back...I must be twenty now....what about the others." She struggled herself to do more, but just collapsed back as the figures walked away.
For the next hour or so, she just couldn't get to sleep. In fact, she didn't want to go to sleep. Now fearing that the next time she'd go to sleep she wouldn't wake up until five years later.
Like the nights you can't get any sleep, and just stare up at the selling thinking about random stuff going on in your life. Well this is what it was like for her. She knew now she wasn't on a bed like she had imagined or hoped, but a long cold metal board.
It must have been hours later that the lights brighten again blinding her for a second until her eye adjusted to the light. Different sized figures now looked upon her.
"Who are you?" She asked something she had just been waiting to ask for a while now.
There was no response.
"What happened to me?"
There was a moment of silence until a deep older male voice spoke up.
"You were critically injured. You wrist broken, arm, sprained ankle, your right eye is temporarily unusable. I could go on, but now I'll stop."
Leena waited for him to say something more, but there was just silence.
Finally the other figure peering down on her said. "She'll do, Leena Toros is now L020 T0SF, pin number 020." They said, wrote it down, then turned off the light, and walked away.
"Who are these people...." A questioned she asked herself. L020 T0SF?
Poor Leena didn't just know how much trouble she was in.
