Disclaimer:I DO NOT own zoids,other wise I would have a swimming pool full of money,but I don't -_-;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(A/N:Ok,Bit has gone off to bomb on of the back drafts bases,this ought to be good…)

"Blue team stay to the right and circle."Bit commanded from the Liger0 (A/N:yes,he still has it.)"Roger that."said the leader of a group of storm sorters."Circle atlest three times and fire,and I mean heavy fire too!"Bit added."Roger that!"The storm sorters circled the base twice,the third time,they let the bombs drop.

Maria stepped away from Jamie."This wasn't suppose to happen…"She uttered to herself.Jamie's head was still spinning."Wha…What?"Maria shook her head slightly."I…I…Don't get me wrong or anything but,if this is what I think it might be,well,I don't want anything to change between us…"Jamie took awhile before understanding what she was trying to say."Do you though?"Maria didn't know how to answer that,it was really frusterating."I…I…I…Oh this is ridicules!"Jamie smiled a little."How so?"Maria took a deep breathe,this was getting difficult to explain."Well,for starters,we'er in our twenties and lets just say that we like each other as more then just friends,and its pretty obvious that we do,but,we can't admit it.Am I right?"Jamie nodded."We'd be lying to ourselves.I would hate to live a lie, especially if it was between you and me."Maria blushed a little."I would hate to live one too,but,I can't do it."Maria said with her head down,walking a little closer to Jamie.Jamie frowned and also walked a little closer.

"Green team stand by."Bit said from the cot pit."Roger that Captain."Said the leader for a group of Rayno's over the com-link.Something wasn't right.The back draft,or who ever was in the base,wasn't attacking,it was like they all left before they started to bomb…Unless…"Blue team!Pull back imminently!"BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!Two storm sorters crashed in a fiery heap.More assaults from the ground shot upwards, narrowly missing the remaining fliers."Oh crap…"Bit said as he saw missiles heading straight for him.

BAM!BAM!Jamie and Maria both lost their balance.They regained it as they ran to their zoids.Maria yelled over the noise."What the heck was that!?!?"Jamie shouted at her as they climbed in."We'er in a war aren't we!?!?"Both got into a cot pit as the doors closed with a small click."Lets go kick some butt!"Maria said over the com-link as the two zoids took off.

BAM!BAM!BAM!The Liger limped slightly.Bit had called a retreat,but being the pilots they where,they kept fighting.The Liger was still in commison,but Bit didn't know how many more hits it could take.

"Yyyyyeeeeeehhhhhhaaaaa!!!!Die you ugly scum bags!!!"

Uh oh…

The two new storm sorters flew low and shot at the ambushers.Bodies littered the ground as they flew upwards again.One flew left as the other swung around and shot at the ambushers again.They where shot at,but the zoids dodged them.The one on the right did a barrel roll to avoid a rather large bomb.BOOM!"That was to close for comfort!Pull up Maria!"The zoids pulled up warders."Roger that Jamie!"Maria's face appeared on Bits computer."Hiya Bit!Need a little help I see."Bit was less then amused."Oh har de har har.Trust you to think this is a game Maria."Maria thought about it."Are you telling me it ISN'T!?!?"Jamie appeared on screen."Cut it out you two.If you didn't notice,we have a war to win here."Maria's shoulders saged."Ok ok.But Bit,I want an explanation for why you have one of Leena's letters in your pocket when I'm done."Bit didn't get to answer as she turned off her screen."Why that little…"Bit muttered at the spot where Maria's face once was."Heads up Bit!"Bit looked as three missiles came roaring his way."Huh?AAAHHH!!!"The Liger ran.

Maria did another barrel roll.Missing a bomb by inches.She was sweating,this wasn't like practice runs,this was war.Plus,the storm sorter wasn't as good with maneuvers as a Raynos.'I'm not going to make it…"Maria thought as she turned the zoid side ways to dodged another shot.She held the trigger botten,killing at lest 4 to 5 people in the process."That'll teach you to shoot at me!"

Jamie couldn't understand WHY Maria thought this could be in any way a game.It was a mascara in his opinion.But,that was war.Jamie had to quickly stop his train of thought as some zabats shot at him."Oh,this is nice."Jamie swooped down very low to the ground,pretending he would crash,then pulled up suddenly,leaving three fiery heaps in the sand.Jamie did barrel rolls to avoid the shots.

Bit was in trouble.He only had a hand full of pilots left and the Liger's power source was running very low,at lest his guns still worked."If any bases can hear this,this is Captain Bit Cloud,my troops are under heavy fire,we are in need of back up!"Bit also sent out their exact location.Now if only Jamie and Maria could hold them off a little longer…

BAM!!

The Liger fell with a sickening crunch.'Command system frozen.'said the computer."Uh oh…"Maria turned side ways to avoid the heavy fire she was under.She press a botten.'Blades extented'flashed on the screen.Maria flew low,cutting anybody in the way from the waist down.Then flew up again.Only then did she see the Liger out of Commison,some small dots hurrying to it."Just prefect…"Maria turned,guns up,she blasted away the people running to the Liger.As she flew low,making sure they wheren't help or anything.She was relived to know that they weren't.Suddenly,a group of Zabats flew straight at her,she jerked the controls to the right,just barely missing them.

"Hey! Watch where your going you lunatics!" Maria shouted to herself as she swung around shooting at them.1…2…3….Maria had shot down,yelling in victory.BAM!Maria's right wing was hit.BAM!Now the left,the zoid started to spiral downwards.Maria tightly griped the controls,trying with all her might to pull up.Vrrrrrroooommmmm.The zoid gained speed as it nose dived.Maria managed to pull it up a little when she crashed.BANG!It slid along in the sand before coming to a complete stop.Smoke started to fill the cot pit as some lose wires sparked.Maria's head rested on her shoulder,she was unconscious.

"Maria!"Jamie shouted as he saw the zoid nose dive,crash and some small dots move towards it.Jamie flew low,he was very high,he wasn't sure if he would be able to get to the in time.

Maria slowly opened her eyes,she looked over at the clouding up window,she saw the men advancing cautiously to her zoid.She searched her pockets for any type of firearm.Maria quickly got out of the cot pit,being shot at,ducked behind it and used it for a shiled.She shot at the men.Three fell to the ground with bullets in them,more advanced cautiously toward her."Damn."Maria whispered.Click,Click,Click."Damnit!"Bam!Bam!Bam!The shots bounced off of the zoid.Maria hid behind it,making sure that they could get her.Vvvvvrrrooommm!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!Maria poked her head out,just a little.There,lay every men that was once standing,now all dead.Maria looked up to see Jamie's storm sorter flying above her.

They had won.

Maria gave a victorious yell,shaking the now empty gun in her hands."All right Jamie!!Whoo-hoo!!"Bit came over to her a minute later,very dirty,the same as Maria who was also pretty dirty.Maria saluted Bit smiling." Congratulations Captain, the battle is a victory!"Maria gave Bit a tight sibling type huge,getting both of them even dirtier.They both laughed as they stood side by side.

Jamie flew down next to them.Maria couldn't contain her happiness in the victory.She ran at Jamie and gave him a hug that almost knocked him off his feet,making his also dirty.She let him go smiling."That was some awesome shooting you have there!"Jamie smiled at her."Not bad for being rusty aye?"Everybody laughed at that.Maria turned at the burring rueins,to the bodies,then finally to both of them."Now what do we do?"Bit thought about the message he had sent out."We wait."
