Nightmare

By: Random echo

A Zoids fan fiction

Authors note: Finally I actually got the first chapter out. Trust me, you may only see Leena in the story line for awhile, but everyone else will come back in. 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.

Chapter one: Dream sequence.*** Leena joins the fray.

Leena laid there completely helpless staring to the sky. A few seconds ago, the bigger figure left, and the girl, Caroline withdrew a needle.

Leena shut her eyes, why whatever was in it, was ejected.

She'd try her best to get up to stop this, but Caroline would cruelly say "Sit down, before you fall down."

Exactly as Caroline said, Leena's sight was fading into blue. She felt it hard to keep her eyes open, and found herself falling back to the board.

***Dream sequence.***

Leena stood alone in a empty light blue room that stretched off forever, nothingness except pure blue.

She stood in the center, her right eye was bandaged, as well as it went around her forehead just slightly. Her ankle, and arm was wrapped, but nothing serious. Her other arm in a cast, and had bandages all over her chest to the end of her stomach, and her left shoulder.

She had a yellow jacket, black outlines and black pants. (The bandages covered her breasts so nothing showed you sick minded people who might think like my brother!)

Leena shivered. "Its freezing." She moved her mouth to say, but no sound came out. Taking a few steps at a time, she went forward, then found herself running in a random direction. Out of no where a large particle beam cannon nearly missed her, but sent her staggering backward. Just a few feet away two zoids were in close range combat. Leena recognized one as the Liger zero. The other one was a giant black zoid. The pilot's sight scared her. It looked like her, but older. Longer hair, same outfit, but one covered with blood. The women was laughing madly, and looked almost insane. In just a few seconds the black zoid seemed to be preparing its ultimate weapon. Leena noticed this at once, and found herself running toward the Liger zero, as if she could help save Bit. Still it was not fast enough, both zoids exploded in a large ball of flame. The blue seemed to disappear to be replaced by rocky terrain. Despite the massive flames in front her of what once was the Liger zero and black zoid were. Jamie's flying zoid in the distance and a sand stormier plunged to the ground at sound breaking sped only to hit the ground with such force both zoids burst.

Leena just stood there helplessly as all her friends, and alleys, or even enemy's met their doom.

Doom......doom.......doomed

*****

Leena jolted up, only to collapse back down from intense pain. There are times, when you may wake up from a shocking dream, really quickly, and nearly kill yourself, before you realized you snapped back into reality. Then think back to the dream that shocked you so, but were not able to remember what went on. She quickly thought back to the dream, or nightmare in this case, but couldn't find herself to remember it. It just seemed like a faint wind far off in the distance. There was now a normal light above her allowing her to see easily. She wasn't on that cold metal board any more, more like a stale bed, but a bed nonetheless.

"Welcome back." Leena heard a soft kinder voice, so she turned to see the source. A young brunette girl, with shinny blue eyes smiled.

"I didn't think you'd wake up so soon. Not with those drugs they gave you."

"Who a-are you?" Leena found herself saying.

The girl seemed taken a back for just a second.

"Sorry, I should have introduced myself. I'm R017 I0SS. For short RI0SS. I mean no harm to you."

Leena let out a sigh of relief. "Seems like your the only one around here that doesn't."

RI0SS leaned forward so no one else could here.

"Your really not suppose to call me this, but my real name is Rose Irons, I'm the pilot of a Sand Stormier. Caught in this twisted conspiracy I spent my life trying to escape."

Leena winced at those word then, and will for a long time. Her skin seemed to prickle, not because she was cold, but it just scared her to think. Those words seemed to be echoing in her mind.

There was a moment of silence before Rose leaned back again. She didn't seem to want to talk about that 'twisted conspiracy' much, and that made Leena sure, she didn't want to hear about it.

"You see these numbers, and letters are our code names I guess. Example, R017 I0SS, the R sands for Rose, the number is your age, of course those aren't normally seen much over 30. You know to much they kill you. You may become a threat to them." Rose seemed to clench her fists at her side trembling.

You know how one can dislike someone so bad, they can say hate. Still are often told off because hate was such a hard word. Well in this case Rose hated this twisted conspiracy, this twisted conspiracy that would lead to her fate, and so many others, she didn't just hate it, she loafed it, hated it with passion. She despised the very mention of it. Something Leena would come to hate soon as well. Something they would break away from, but just to late.

Leena didn't want to press the subject, but Rose chose to continue herself. "There was a guy, named Lance Irons. He, like so many others hated this place. So one time, he decided to do some research. It would of saved us all, but when he took out his zoid, it just happened to explode. It was them planting it so he would die before he could do anything. Leena, I may not see you much but-" Rose was cut off as someone entered the room.

Rose quickly took off her yellow jacket. "Take this, your freeze to death otherwise. It doesn't really matter in the end thought but-"

The brunette was roughly pushed backward, causing her to crash into a desk very hard. The man who pushed Rose, picked up Leena by the collar of her new jacket, threw her out of the bed, forcing her to stand. At first she winced at the pain on one of her ankles, and leaned over to support all her weight on her good leg.

He seemed to examine her head to toe. "Weakling." He muttered just about, Leena would of objected to that normally, but next to her Rose was just standing up, with a rather large gash across her forehead. "Don't worry, I had that before, it just reopened." She muttered, so Leena turned back to face him.

"Still she has the secret to pilot the SF." He said aloud.

Something about those initials made her shiver, even more then she did when those words, 'twisted conspiracy I spent my life trying to escape.' echoed in her head, and crawled in her skin.

She shook it off, wondering if she should say anything, after what she heard, she wouldn't want to push their nerves to far. You can only piss someone off so much, that is with insuring your life.

"LT0SF. I don't see what they do in you, but the staff must be right, they haven't made a mistake in picking pilots yet. I'm even doubting you can pilot the SF.......here's the deal, if you choose to accept. There's been a long war going on between us and the uh...others. You will help us fight, as we will train you."

Leena arched an eyebrow.

"Do I really have a choice?"

The man laughed. "Between that and death, no not really."

"So why did you take me."

There was a pause, that seemed to bring an upcoming wave of tension.

"The accident you were in everyone could easily assume your dead. After three years of you being gone, they pretty much know your dead, or think they do. So if you die on the battlefield or never get to see them again, its no big deal."

Leena's froze in place, like her spirit was falling, dropping, plummeting into an endless ditch.

"But we only need you for so long. Your only mission is to fight their newest zoid, and one of the strongest. The Nightmare. So, ready to join the fray?"

There was a moment of silence, Leena stood straight, her eyes lowered to the ground. Then taking a gulp,

she said.

"A-alright. I'll join you......"

And with that, her life would never be the same again.
