Shadowwolf: Not much. Where are the boys?
Leena: Bit's in bed, trying to sleep off the pain I gave him for stealing my cookies!
Shadowwolf: Okay…where's Jamie and Brad?

Shadowwolf & Leena: *sweatdrop*
Brad: *walks in* I'm taking the Fox out for a run. Does anyone want to come?
Shadowwolf: ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brad: Okay…let's go.
Shadowwolf: BYE!!!!!! *Shadow Fox launches from Hovercargo*
Leena: Okay then…I'm sure Shadowwolf would have wanted me to read the disclaimer, so here it goes. Shadowwolf does NOT own Zoids or the characters. She DOES own the plot and Jack. Don't sue.
Doc: *puts tail back on Raynos* There, all better.
Leena: *sweatdrop* I'm sure she would want to say this too; Please enjoy the story, and review! Thanks! ^ ^
HUNTER'S PREY CH 4,
WHAT?!Brad reluctantly left the hospital. He hopped in the Shadow Fox and ran for the battlefield.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He ran back to the Gustav and saw where the first Zabat had crashed. The Fox growled and Brad jumped out. He looked in the cockpit, but there was no trace of a person inside. The Shadow Fox growled again in warning and Brad turned to face it.
"What's the matter, Fox?" He asked while looking around. A man climbed up the hill and walked towards Brad. He had ripped clothes and looked as though he had been in a battle. The Shadow Fox growled again.
"Who are you?" Brad questioned. "What are you doing here?"
"I am Jack Rankite of the Poison Fang Team. Remember that battle yesterday?" Jack asked the angry mercenary. Brad thought while keeping his eyes on Jack.
"Yeah, we beat you. Easily. You had two Stealth Vipers and a…"
"Gun Sniper," Jack finished his sentence.
"Right. Now, what are you doing here?"
"The Zabats that attacked you this morning…" Jack triggered something in Brad. How did he know? He thought. He must have been flying one! Brad charged Jack and tackled him.
"You JERK! You attacked Naomi and me! She's in the hospital because of you!!!!!" Jack struggled to get up, but Brad wouldn't let him.
"It…wasn't me!" Jack was loosing his breath.
"LIAR! How else would you know?!" Brad yelled.
"I…tried to…stop them…" Jack barely got the words out. Brad froze, but didn't loosen his grip on Jack.
"Prove it!" Brad said after a lot of thought.
"Okay…let me…breathe. We were testing out a new Zoid for the Backdraft group. It looked just like a regular Gun Sniper, not even the ZBC or the judge can tell the difference. When we lost to you, they blamed it on us, saying that the Zoid should have beaten you easily. They said we were lousy pilots," He took a big breath and continued, "so we tried to get back at them. They attacked us with Zabats and saw the Gustav on the edge. They thought it was ours."
Brad thought for a minute. We did have the battle with the Poison Fangs in the same area we fought the Flugel Team in. Jack started again.
"I'm guessing that when they saw your Zoids they decided to get back at you."
"Oh," was all that came out of Brad's mouth, even though there was much more in his head.
"I've got to go see Naomi," Brad said after a long silence.
"Can you take me to the hospital too?" Jack asked, praying he would say yes.
"Sure."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They reached the hospital and Jack got some care of his own. The rest of the Blitz Team asked Brad what had happened.
"He tried to stop the Backdraft, but they shot him and his teammates down and came after us, or me." Brad suddenly realized that they wouldn't have had a reason to hit Naomi. It was him they wanted.
"What next Brad?" Bit asked impatiently.
"They were after me and the Shadow Fox."
"They were?" Leena asked. Brad walked off and bumped into a nurse.
"Is Naomi Flugel conscious yet?" He asked, dying to see her.
"She was," said the nurse.
"Can I see her?"
"What is your relation?" She asked and Brad knew the answer.
"I'm her boyfriend."
Leena: Shadowwolf STILL isn't back from her run with Brad and the Shadow Fox.
Bit: I want a ride in the Shadow Fox, *sad puppy face* but Brad would've killed me.
Leena: No kidding.
Jamie: Hey guys, I've got something on radar. I think it's them. *Shadow Fox runs into Hovercargo*
Shadowwolf & Brad: *walk in*
Shadowwolf: Man that was fun! I love the Shadow Fox!!!
Brad: *walks over and gets some coffee* It's no that big a deal.
Shadowwolf: But I've never been in a Zoid before, man that ROCKED!
Brad, Jamie, Leena, & Bit: *sweatdrop*
Shadowwolf: Nice job Bit, you'd never know it used to say 'I love Naomi', in pink spray paint, on the side!
Bit: Thanks?
Shadowwolf: So what did I miss? *scanning chapter* Ah yes, boyfriend…
Brad: What?!
Shadowwolf: Yep, you say, "I'm her boyfriend."
Brad: O_o *passes out*
Shadowwolf: Ooops! He would have found out sooner or later! ^ ^ Thanks for reading! Please review! ^ ^
