Resolution
"Launch all Zabot squadrons at once!!! Then land and release the Darkhorns. Whale Kings, surround the Base, let nothing get past. Squadron 2, 9 and 12, find and destroy the Hover Cargo! Squadrons 3, and 10, stand by as support for the Whale Kings. All other squadrons, attack the Blitz Team!!! Darkhorns, create a perimeter and fire at will! Don't let anything break through!!" Altile shouted to his troops.
Zabots dropped from the Whale Kings and flew in tight formations. They headed straight towards their targets. Darkhorns filed out of the ships and advanced.
**************************************************************************** **********
"Strike laser claw!!!"
Liger 0 pounced onto a Darkhorn. The glowing claws ripped apart the zoid's cockpit. The zoid exploded into shrapnel, flames bursting everywhere. Liger 0 landed beside the carnage and headed towards its next target. Bombs fell from the sky like rain, exploding onto the desert floor. Countless Zabots attacked from above, firing their missiles of death at the three zoids. Bit could barely see through the smoke and ash with the exception of gunfire and laser beams. Jamie in his Raynos had destroyed a large number of zabots on his own. Dodging and evading their fire, he continued to fight back fiercely. But even with his incredibly fast zoid, he was outnumbered heavily. He was taking minimal damage, a few stray shots finding their way to him but they were slowly taking their toll.
Brad with his Shadow Fox was battling with equal ferocity. His agile zoid peppered the sluggish, Darkhorns with constant fire. His zoid leapt from enemy to enemy, hacking them to pieces with every weapon. By now, he was nearly out of ammo for his vulcan gun, the smoke dischargers destroyed and his armor cracked. Bits of plating fell off every time the Shadow Fox was hammered with explosions.
All three zoids were steadily backing into the base. Their strength nearly gone. Their bodies and minds were exhausted and they were fighting solely on determination and desperation. Even so, it was no doubt a losing battle. Their zoids were covered with burn streaks and dents. Nearly out of ammo and power, soon they wouldn't be able to lift a finger in protest.
Craters were pounded onto the ground. Zoid parts littered the ground like leaves. The base's auto defense turrets blazed with bullets, but could not hold back the onslaught. Even though the advancing zoids were delayed, they continued to ceaselessly complete their mission. Liger 0 fired its Shock cannons, disabling three Zabots on a bombing run. Two others flew in to take their place and released a barrage of gunfire. Liger 0 was flung back thirty feet. The Ultimate X slid into the hard desert sand. Bit Cloud growled as he jerked at the controls, trying to pull Liger 0 up.
"Doc!!! Is the Hover Cargo ready?! We can't hold out much longer!!" shouted Bit. He swung the controls side to side, dodging gunfire from a group of Darkhorns.
Doc's face appeared. "I can't Bit! The zabots have already destroyed its engines. The energy shield is barely holding and I can't shut it down to let the Liger 0 change into another transformation or the whole Hover Cargo will be blown up!!!"
A missile slammed into the Shadow Wolf, the vulcan turret tearing off.
"Damn!!! Where is Leena when you need her??!!"
"Now's not the time to talk about her!!!" Bit shouted as he sliced an enemy zoid in half.
"We've been fighting for nearly thirty minutes, how much longer do we have to keep this up??!!"
"Hold on you guys, I ran an analysis on the battle, I'm sending the info to you all now."
Jamie pushed a button and the battle information was displayed for Bit, Brad and Doc.
"We are up against over 10 squadrons of Zabots, as well as 60 Darkhorns. And due to their skill and abilities, they are all piloted by warriors, not unmanned zoids." Jamie pulled the trigger button and a black Zabot exploded into a ball of flame. "With the Hover Cargo down and this strong offensive, there's no way we can break through. It's a miracle we lasted this long without dying yet."
"So what do you suggest we do?!? Just sit down and die?!?"
"I don't know what to do Bit! I tried to break pass them but the Whale Kings are armed with some sort of specialized missiles. It nearly fried my controls. We can't escape without being knocked out of battle."
"Doc, any bright ideas?!" growled Brad as he used the strike laser claw to knock away a zoid.
"Sorry Brad, there's nothing I can do."
"Isn't there any kind of expensive, flashy object you have stowed away Doc?!"
"No Jamie, but there is one thing.." His voice trailed off.
"What?!? What is it Doc?!?" demanded Bit. His face sweaty and his lips dry. Drops of blood dripped down from cuts on his face.
"It's the self destruct on the base."
They was silent.
"What?!? Self destruct Doc?!?!? Are you MAD!!!?? It'll kill us all!!"
"It's the only option left. I'm sorry."
"What a great way to go now," Brad mumbled bitterly.
"Why don't you join the Back Draft Brad?!?" snapped Bit. "I'm sure the pay is more!"
"Just because I'm a mercenary doesn't mean I don't have morals Bit!" shouted Brad.
"CUT IT OUT ALL OF YOU!!!" roared Doc. "There's no point in fighting amongst ourselves! This is a last resort so it's up you all!!!"
There was a pause. No one dared to speak up. The sound of ragged breathing and gunfire was the only thing to break the silence.
Finally, Bit spoke up.
"Well, it's better then being captured by the Back Draft. I say we do it."
"At least we can take them out with us."
"Yeah," Jamie quietly said. "We fought our best, there's no choice now."
"Alright, it's settled. You all keep it up for a little longer, I'm going to start it up."
**************************************************************************** **********
Altile surveyed the battle below in the bride of the Whale King. As always, The Blitz Team was putting up quite a fight. He had to give them credit for their abilities.
"Lieutenant, tell our troops to cease fire immediately and go on stand by."
"But sir, our orders are to eliminate the Blitz Team at all cost-"
"Just do it Lieutenant, you're being paid to follow orders, not to question my authority!"
"Yes sir, at once."
The Darkhorns stopped firing their weapons and stood still. The zabots flew in circles around the battlefield like vultures. All sounds of the previous fighting vanished. Smoke rose up from burning zoids like bonfires. The base's turrets destroyed. Wind picked up bits of metal and sand, scattering them throughout the desert.
The Blitz Team shut off its weapons as well, unsure of the sudden change in the battle.
"Lieutenant, send a transmission to the Blitz Team, I would like to speak to them."
"Yes Altile," the Lieutenant turned to his control panel and rapidly clicked buttons. The Blitz Team members appeared before him. Their tired worn faces showed heavy fatigue but at the presence of their enemy, hatred and aggression returned.
"What do you want Altile?!? Come here to gloat?!?"
"Now now Doctor Touros, I am simply here to carry out a task that has been given to me."
"I thought you Back Draft rats were wiped out like the shit you are!!!"
"Please, there is no need for language like that. This is nothing personal, believe me." lied Altile.
Bit snorted. "Personal my ass Altile. This is nothing but personal you coward!!!!"
Altile smirked and continued.
"I am giving you all an offer. Shut down your zoids, lower your weapons and join the Back Draft Team. Think of what we could accomplish. The Zoid Battle Commission could be over thrown. Countries will cower before us. The world is ours for the taking. You will have power and wealth beyond your dreams..."
Brad glared at Altile. "Oh yeah?" he asked sarcastically. "What's the catch?"
"Oh, just a few adjustments and enhancements to your mind. Standard procedures."
"Yeah, whatever you old psycho!!!!" Yelled Jamie.
Bit slammed his fist down on the control panel. "We'll never join you! So go fuck yourself!!!"
Altile ignored the insults and with a wave of his hand, the Whale King's cannons locked onto the zoids.
"This is your last and final chance. Join us or die."
Doc put up a private channel with Brad, Bit and Jamie.
"The self destruct is ready. Are you are sure you want to do this?"
"There's no backing out now."
"Yeah, well, it's been nice knowing you all."
"Same here."
"Yeah, we sure had some great times."
"Doc, do it."
Bit closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable.
'Good bye, Leena. I hope you're safe. Where ever you are, please. don't forget about us.about Brad, Jamie.your father and..please...don't forget about me.'
Sirens blared inside the Hover Cargo. The shields were destroyed. Sparks flung out in every direction. The lights were shut off. The red emergency lights were barely working. Doc flipped open a switch. A round, red button appeared.
He raised his hand back.
BAM!!!!BAM!!BAM!!!! A Whale King erupted into a blazing inferno. The engines exploded, the wings on fire. The explosions ripped apart several nearby zabots. The burning wreckage tumbled towards the ground.
"What was THAT?!?" cried out Jamie.
"What the hell happened??!!" exclaimed Bit. "That Whale King just blew up!!"
"Hey you guys, I have several zoids on the radar. Looks like five Whale Kings. They are landing outside the Back Draft Group. So far I see five ultrasauruses, fifteen teroxes and atleast fifty raptors moving out. It looks like the Zoid Battle Commission."
(AN: I'm not sure about the names of the zoids so if anyone can tell me, pls email me or put up a review with the correct names. Thanks a lot!)
"What?!? Are you kidding Brad?!"
"How did they get here? Our communication was knocked down!"
"I have no idea Doc, but that's what I see. Hold on, one more zoid on the battle field, looks like a gunsniper.."
"LEENA!!!!" Doc shouted with joy.
"Hey you guys! Miss me??" cried a familiar voice. Her gunsniper leapt out of a Whale King and with guns blazing, headed towards her former teammates.
"How did you get here?!?"
"What happened??!!"
"When I was traveling this morning I saw the black Whale Kings head in the direction of the base. I called the nearest Zoid Battle Commission base and they sent troops right away. They picked me up on the way as well!!"
"That's my girl!!!"
"Thanks Leena! You saved our asses again."
"Great job!"
The Back Draft zoids were in disarray and confusion. They desperately turned to face the relentless assault The Battle Commission Zoids charged out into battle, taking the enemy completely by surprise. The raptors hacked the Darkhorns with their blades. Their speed overwhelming the slower zoids in seconds. The Teroxes with their long range rifles and gattling guns tore openings through the blockade. The ultrasauruses ignored the bombing and gunfire aimed at their direction. The monstrous zoids blasted dozens of cannons and unleashed hundreds of missiles. The zabots were completely annihilated. They were shot down, their pilots leaping out with parachutes as they watched their zoids crash to the ground.
**************************************************************************** **********
"WHAT???!!! How could this HAPPEN!!!??" cried out Altile. "My plan was PERFECT!!!"
"Sir!!! The Whale King, Meteor is going down as well. The Blizzard is under heavy attack sir. We are awaiting your orders!!!"
"Tell the remaining troops to continue to fight, our mission must be accomplished!!!"
"But sir-"
"Do it now Lieutenant!!!"
"Yes sir."
"Lock onto the Liger 0 with our missiles and fire at will!!! We must not let that zoid stay under the hands of the Blitz team!!!"
"Sir."
They were launched out of the belly of the Whale King. The silvery missiles headed straight towards the Liger 0, which was occupied with several Darkhorns.
"BIT!!! Watch out!!!" Jamie shouted to Bit.
"Missiles are headed your way, get out of there!!!"
Bit was quick. He leaped out of the way just in time. The explosives crashed into the ground. Smoke and sand was flung everywhere. But the impact was considerable. The Liger 0 was hammered with shrapnel and the shock wave flung his zoid away like a pebble. Liger 0 barely landed on its feet. The right legs of Liger 0 screeched and collapsed. The ultimate X was down and Bit Cloud was unable to get out. His cockpit was jammed.
"DAMMIT!!!" Bit cursed and tried to move. Liger 0 shuddered and tried vainly to rise.
"Com'on Liger, you can do it! Just keep trying boy, you almost made it!"
"BIT!!!" Leena screamed and her gunsniper blasted the Darkhorns that stood in her way. Her zoid stopped in front of Liger 0.
"Leena! Get outta here!!! They're about to fire another barrage!!!"
"Hell NO I'm going leaving you! Honestly, I leave for half a day and look what happens to you ."
"Incoming missiles!!!"
"I got em, WEASAL UNIT TOTAL ASSAULT!!!!!!!"
Her gunfire cut down most the missiles, but a few continued past her bombardment. Heading straight for the defenseless Liger 0.
Bit cringed away, expecting himself to be incinerated. He could hear the explosions and his zoid shook from the impact. When it died down, he opened his eyes and saw Leena's Gunsniper collapse.
"LEENA!!!!!!"
Bit, with all his strength pulled Liger 0 up slightly, enough room to knock off the cockpit window and sprinted towards Leena.
His body ached, his legs and muscles begging him to stop. But he kept running.
'Oh god, not again. This is déjà vu. It's all happening again. God, Please Leena, please be okay, please don't be hurt again!!!'
Bit ran up the smoking zoid. The heat was unbearable. Smoke clogged his throat. Without thinking, he grasped the cockpit window and pulled it up. Pain shot through his body. His hands were extremely burned. Blisters began to form. He ignored the pain. He lifted it off and the smell of burnt hair filled his nose. Bit gazed inside and saw Leena Touros. Her body was in similar condition the last battle. Bruises and cuts covered her body. A bit of hair was singed. But this time she was awake. She gave him a weak smile. And she looked down at herself. Blood. Blood seeped out of her body and soaking into the white tank top. Her clothes was nearly covered with it.
Bit grabbed Leena and lifted her out. Without a word he started to head towards the Hover Cargo when a shriek erupted from her lips. Leena begged to be put down. Bit refused but she insisted. He reluctantly laid her down, holding onto her head and back with his arms. Her breathing was growing weaker. Her life was slipping away.
"Leena! Leena hold on please! We can make it!" Bit cried out in despair. "Don't you dare die on us.don't die for me."
"Bit." her voice was becoming weaker. "I-I'm.. so...so sorry for being so cruel to you. I'm..sorry for not responding." A tear ran down her face. "You tried to help me..and I.just..pushed you away."
"I'm so sorry," she whispered. "Please forgive me."
"Leena! I forgive you, I'll do anything. Anything, you name it. Just don't leave me.. Please don't abandon me! I don't want to be alone." He begged. "I don't want you to die.."
"Bit.why?." Leena stared into his emerald eyes. "Please, I need to know..I need you to say it.please."
Why? There was only one thing. Only one sole purpose. Only one reason.
"Because.I.." Bit choked out. "I...love you, Leena. And I don't know how I'll live without you..because if you leave me..I-I'll just die.I can't bare the thought of you not being here.of you leaving me..
Leena sighed and gave a small smile of relief. Of joy. Of love. And for a moment, Bit thought everything would turn out fine. That she would get well. He believed Leena Touros would smack him and laugh like she always did. But she did no such thing. She reached slowly inside her pocket and placed something in his hand. Leena held onto his hand as tightly as she could but her grip was weakening.
"Leena!!! Don't go please!!!" his voice cracked. "I don't want you to go-"
She silenced him by placing a finger on his lips. She pulled herself up to him. Her body screamed at her. Commanding her to stop. But again, her stubborn feelings ignored her body. Ignored the fact that she was dying and forced herself so that she was inches away from Bit's face. She breathed in his warm breath, lost in his eyes. She turned her head to face his side. She could smell his hair, the sweat on his forehead. His skin, his clothes. Everything about him fascinated her.
Leena whispered the final words of her life into his ears.
"I love you..too...Bit..Cloud"
Bit turned to face Leena. Realization hit him. Before he could open his mouth to speak, Leena gave one last smile and closed her eyes. Forever.
Tears blinded his eyes. Leena's hand was limply holding his. Her body was still. Leena's blood soaked into his shirt. The battle raged around him. The wind howled all around Bit Cloud. His mind was focused on the girl that was lost to him. He held the body of Leena Touros closer to himself and wept.
Tears fell for the past.
He sobbed for future.
He mourned for the present.
He cried for Leena Touros, the only girl he would ever love, that died in his arms.
I'm so sorry people! I know a lot of you were expecting a happy ending but I think this works better. Please Don't hate me!!! There is a final chapter coming up so please read it even if you hate this ending!!!

Bit was quick. He leaped out of the way just in time. The explosives crashed into the ground. Smoke and sand was flung everywhere. But the impact was considerable. The Liger 0 was hammered with shrapnel and the shock wave flung his zoid away like a pebble. Liger 0 barely landed on its feet. The right legs of Liger 0 screeched and collapsed. The ultimate X was down and Bit Cloud was unable to get out. His cockpit was jammed.
"DAMMIT!!!" Bit cursed and tried to move. Liger 0 shuddered and tried vainly to rise.
"Com'on Liger, you can do it! Just keep trying boy, you almost made it!"
"BIT!!!" Leena screamed and her gunsniper blasted the Darkhorns that stood in her way. Her zoid stopped in front of Liger 0.
"Leena! Get outta here!!! They're about to fire another barrage!!!"
"Hell NO I'm going leaving you! Honestly, I leave for half a day and look what happens to you ."
"Incoming missiles!!!"
"I got em, WEASAL UNIT TOTAL ASSAULT!!!!!!!"
Her gunfire cut down most the missiles, but a few continued past her bombardment. Heading straight for the defenseless Liger 0.
Bit cringed away, expecting himself to be incinerated. He could hear the explosions and his zoid shook from the impact. When it died down, he opened his eyes and saw Leena's Gunsniper collapse.
"LEENA!!!!!!"
Bit, with all his strength pulled Liger 0 up slightly, enough room to knock off the cockpit window and sprinted towards Leena.
His body ached, his legs and muscles begging him to stop. But he kept running.
'Oh god, not again. This is déjà vu. It's all happening again. God, Please Leena, please be okay, please don't be hurt again!!!'
Bit ran up the smoking zoid. The heat was unbearable. Smoke clogged his throat. Without thinking, he grasped the cockpit window and pulled it up. Pain shot through his body. His hands were extremely burned. Blisters began to form. He ignored the pain. He lifted it off and the smell of burnt hair filled his nose. Bit gazed inside and saw Leena Touros. Her body was in similar condition the last battle. Bruises and cuts covered her body. A bit of hair was singed. But this time she was awake. She gave him a weak smile. And she looked down at herself. Blood. Blood seeped out of her body and soaking into the white tank top. Her clothes was nearly covered with it.
Bit grabbed Leena and lifted her out. Without a word he started to head towards the Hover Cargo when a shriek erupted from her lips. Leena begged to be put down. Bit refused but she insisted. He reluctantly laid her down, holding onto her head and back with his arms. Her breathing was growing weaker. Her life was slipping away.
"Leena! Leena hold on please! We can make it!" Bit cried out in despair. "Don't you dare die on us.don't die for me."
"Bit." her voice was becoming weaker. "I-I'm.. so...so sorry for being so cruel to you. I'm..sorry for not responding." A tear ran down her face. "You tried to help me..and I.just..pushed you away."
"I'm so sorry," she whispered. "Please forgive me."
"Leena! I forgive you, I'll do anything. Anything, you name it. Just don't leave me.. Please don't abandon me! I don't want to be alone." He begged. "I don't want you to die.."
"Bit.why?." Leena stared into his emerald eyes. "Please, I need to know..I need you to say it.please."
Why? There was only one thing. Only one sole purpose. Only one reason.
"Because.I.." Bit choked out. "I...love you, Leena. And I don't know how I'll live without you..because if you leave me..I-I'll just die.I can't bare the thought of you not being here.of you leaving me..
Leena sighed and gave a small smile of relief. Of joy. Of love. And for a moment, Bit thought everything would turn out fine. That she would get well. He believed Leena Touros would smack him and laugh like she always did. But she did no such thing. She reached slowly inside her pocket and placed something in his hand. Leena held onto his hand as tightly as she could but her grip was weakening.
"Leena!!! Don't go please!!!" his voice cracked. "I don't want you to go-"
She silenced him by placing a finger on his lips. She pulled herself up to him. Her body screamed at her. Commanding her to stop. But again, her stubborn feelings ignored her body. Ignored the fact that she was dying and forced herself so that she was inches away from Bit's face. She breathed in his warm breath, lost in his eyes. She turned her head to face his side. She could smell his hair, the sweat on his forehead. His skin, his clothes. Everything about him fascinated her.
Leena whispered the final words of her life into his ears.
"I love you..too...Bit..Cloud"
Bit turned to face Leena. Realization hit him. Before he could open his mouth to speak, Leena gave one last smile and closed her eyes. Forever.
Tears blinded his eyes. Leena's hand was limply holding his. Her body was still. Leena's blood soaked into his shirt. The battle raged around him. The wind howled all around Bit Cloud. His mind was focused on the girl that was lost to him. He held the body of Leena Touros closer to himself and wept.
Tears fell for the past.
He sobbed for future.
He mourned for the present.
He cried for Leena Touros, the only girl he would ever love, that died in his arms.
