I don't think I've ever received so many reviews for one chapter. Honestly, you guys are
great! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope I don't disappoint you. Please,
keep the reviews coming!
As for the Van/Fiona fic, I'm not sure when I'll have time to write one. I have this fic, not
to mention five others in works. Maybe over Spring break I'll get a chance to write it.
I don't own Zoids, but I do own the "Diamond Tigress", the "Songbird", and Harmony.
Damasu is Japanese for "deceive". The literal meaning is 'to deceive'. So the Damasu team
literally means "The Deceiving Team".
Ages:
Bit, Brad, Leena: 21
Harmony: 20
Leon: 23
Jamie: 18
Quote of the Fic: "There's two dates it time that they'll carve on your stone and everyone
knows what they mean. What's more important is the time that is known is that little dash in
between." Garth Brooks "Pushing Up Daisies"
Part Two of "Diamond Tigress"
'What Has Happened'
~~
Leena Taurus ran her fingers through her long red hair. It had been three years. Three years
since she had left the Blitz team. Three years since she left Bit. Three years since she found
some of her roots.
"Leena, are you going to spend all day in the bathroom?! Come on! Geez girl!" Harmony yelled,
pounding on the bathroom door.
Ah, yes, three years since she found an old friend from her days of living in an actual town,
Harmony Leo. Harmony was a tall girl, standing at five feet nine inches, and was about seven
months younger than Leena. Harmony had gorgeous blond, curly hair that she kept at mid-back,
tied back by a dark blue headband. On top of the blond hair she had stunning sapphire blue
eyes. Harmony also had a temper worse than Leena's.
Leena, on the other hand, was five feet six inches. Leena had mellowed out over the three years
since she had left the Blitz team, and she had just celebrated her twenty-first birthday. Her
red hair went mid back, and was now all at one length, not the haircut she had before. Her
violet eyes almost always danced in mirth.
Just as Harmony was about to bang on the door once more, Leena opened the door and Harmony
nearly fell into the bathroom.
"Maybe you should live up to your name," Leena mumbled as she walked out of the bathroom.
Harmony grinned. "And maybe you should fly a Zoid."
"I like being on the ground, thank you very much." Leena said as she threw her hairbrush,
toothbrush, and toothpaste into a separate compartment in her duffle bag.
Harmony laughed and threw a pair of her jeans into her duffle bag. Harmony was almost always
in a pair of faded blue flare jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. She also normally wore a pair of
black sandals with a two-inch heel. Leena wore a violet tank top, a pair of dark blue flare
jeans, and a pair of black boots with a three-inch heel.
"Did we leave anything behind?" Harmony asked as she closed the door to the hotel room.
"No. I put the tools, and my laptop, back where they belonged last night. We're ready to go."
Leena said.
Harmony nodded, and after throwing the keys at the hotel clerk (which earned a sigh from Leena),
the two girls went to their Zoids.
Harmony was the pilot of a rare Zoid, the Songbird. The Songbird, as you might have guessed,
was a bird Zoid. It had tremendous speed and the ability to climb to a high altitude with no
problem. Some said the Songbird was the advanced form of a Raynos. It also had a good
arsenal.
Now, Leena's Zoid was one of the rarest Zoids on planet Zi. It was called the Diamond
Tigress. The Zoid was a more feminine version of the Liger Zero. It was sleeker and had a
longer tail, which Leena could use to hit enemies Zoids away from the back of the Tigress. The
Diamond Tigress had good, solid armor, and a shield to defend itself, but it also had a nice
sized arsenal.
Leena and Harmony both tossed their duffle bags into their Zoids and then jumped up and into
their cockpits.
"Ready to go, Lee?" Harmony asked her best friend over the radio.
"Let's go, Harm," Leena answered, and two to took off towards their next battle location.
~~
"That was a good battle you guys," Jamie said as he congratulated Bit, Brad, and Leon on their
latest victory.
"Thanks Jamie. Your strategies were dead on, though," Leon said.
"Hey, Doc, do I still owe you anything for that upgrade on the Shadow Fox?" Brad asked.
Steve looked up and smiled. "No, your battle today won enough to cover the costs."
"Doc, what are you looking at?" Bit asked.
"An article on one of the best team in the doubles." Steve said.
The Zoid Battle Commissions arranged teams as followed: Singles, which was only one person,
doubles, which was two pilots, triples for three, quadruple for a four person team, and so on
and so forth. Now, for two-person team and up, one (or more if you had three, four, or more)
pilot could battle, and another could stay on the base (if the team had one) or stay off the
battlegrounds (if you didn't have a base) and arrange strategies and other tactics, but if
needed, could jump into the battle. Such was the case with the Blitz team. Jamie was their
strategist, but he could be an alternate if someone on the team needed to leave the battle to
lick their wounds.
"Yeah, what about them?" Brad asked.
"Let's see, since someone spilled coffee, syrup, and melted butter all over my magazine today,
and I won't mention any names, BIT, I can just make out the fact this team wins about 90% of
their battles, both pilots are females, and it's called the..." Steve's voice trailed off as
he tried to make heads or tails of the article.
"Doc, I said I was sorry," Bit mumbled under his breath.
Steve finally found a place were you could make out the team's name. "The Damasu team."
"They call themselves the Damasu team? Either they're cocky or modest," Brad said.
"Who's in the team, Doc?" Jamie asked.
"I couldn't tell you that if I really wanted too..." Steve said, tossing his ruined magazine
in the trash.
Suddenly, Bit asked a question that had been in the back of everyone's mind. "How do you guys
think Leena is doing?"
Leon looked down at the floor and then smiled gently. "Leena is strong. I'm sure she's fine.
It's hard to believe the fact she's been gone for three years, isn't it?"
Brad nodded. "None of us have fought with each other in ages. Some days, I find myself
actually listening for the sound of her and Bit chasing each other. I'm still not use to the
silence."
Bit looked out the window, but he didn't join in the conversation. 'I miss you Leena, I miss
you a lot. Liger promises that you'll be back one day, but how much longer can I hope that?
You were always saying that I was getting in your way, that I was stealing your food. I miss
our fighting. Maybe that's why I miss it, it was our fighting. No one else would dare fight
the way we used to. Please, come back to us soon.'
"Bit! Bit Cloud!" Brad yelled into Bit's ear, trying to get his fellow pilot's attention.
Jamie sighed. "It's useless Brad, let's just leave him here to work out his thoughts."
Leon nodded. "It would be best. I'm sure he has a few things to work out."
Steve smiled. "Come on, let's go see what there is to eat in the kitchen."
~~
"Are you sure these are the coordinates?" Leena asked Harmony.
"Yes. Here comes the Judge. It's almost battle time."
~~
Steve flicked on the television set and sat down. "Hey! That team we were talking about a
few minutes is in a battle!" (Authoress: Keep in mind that the watchers at home/work/wherever
can only see the battle, they can't hear the radio link between the pilots.)
Jamie sat down next to Steve, and then Brad, Leon, and Bit sat down.
"Who's battling?" Bit asked.
"The Damasu team is battling the Sailor team." Brad replied. (Authoress: Okay, I needed an
opposing team and I have a Sailor Moon plushie sitting in front of me. Also, the Sailor team
consists of two people: Brandon and Courtney.)
"The Sailor team uses Blade Ligers, and I couldn't tell you guys for the life of me what the
Damasu team is using." Jamie said.
~~
"Ready! Fight!" the Judge said.
"Hey, girly, where is the other member of your team." Brandon asked.
"I dunno." Leena replied.
Courtney charged forward, and Leena immediately put up a shield. Brandon rushed in from behind,
where the shield wasn't as strong, but the Tigress's tail knocked the Blade Liger back a few
feet.
"Come on Songbird," Leena mumbled, breaking free of Courtney's Blade Liger and making a run out
of the direct line of fire, waiting for her best friend, and for the other team to make a move.
~~
"The girl in whatever Zoid that is isn't very strong, is she?" Brad asked.
"I disagree. She hit that one Blade Liger a good distance away from her with the tail of her
Zoid. I don't think I've ever seen a Zoid do that." Jamie said.
"She also got the shield up much quicker, and much later, than most pilots can. She waited
until the Blade Liger was almost on top of her to use the shield." Bit said.
~~
Leena grinned as the Songbird suddenly came out from the cloud cover. "Harmony, I'll take care
of the girl, you get that obnoxious guy."
"I read you Leena, heading in for the kill. Are you changing into Emerald?" Harmony asked.
"How clear am I?" Leena asked.
"Clear for ten yards. If they come in for the kill, I'll guard your back." Harmony replied.
~~
How about I leave it there? Now, if you guys can guess what Harmony and Leena are talking
about when Harmony asks about changing into Emerald I'll dedicate the next chapter to you.
PLEASE REIVEW! If you review, the faster I'll write the next part!
Peace, Love, and the Moon!
