I don't know why I'm writing this right now, on account that I really can't think of much to write here, but here it goes. I'm suffering from extreme writers block with this fanfic, so I will probably put another one up soon and hope it doesn't happen again. I hope that this will be enough for now.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids (duh!)
WARNING: For those of you reading this, I need to tell you that this first part might be a little gory and mushy, but not really any worse than the other things. Oh well, don't let this little thing stop you from reading. Pleaz enjoy^.^

Leena walked into the main room and went over to the couch. "Bit, why do you have to be so cocky?" she asked herself. She lied down on the couch, and not long after, she fell asleep.

The sun was blocked out by clouds and the sand stretched for miles on end. There seemed to have recently been a zoid battle. There were three wrecked zoids on the field. One was a War Shark, the other was a Saber Tiger, and the last one was a black Gun Sniper. The Liger Zero stood near the black Gun Sniper, whose pilot was already out and examining her zoid. Her dark blue hair swayed in the breeze as she looked at the zoid. Her two companions were doing the same; one seemed more ticked off than the other about their loss. She, on the other hand, was completely calm. The cockpit of the Liger Zero opened up and Bit jumped out. He walked over to the girl. Brad and Leena did the same. They were a good distance away from where Bit and their opponents were though. They decided to take their time and walk. Bit stood behind the girl, who still hadn't turned around yet.
"Hi," said Bit. She turned around to look at who was addressing her. He was about the same height as she was. "The name's Bit Cloud," he said. She smiled, which was more like a smirk.
"I'm Risai Kamosu," she said. She glanced behind Bit quickly to see Leena and Brad approaching. She drew her right hand behind her back. She had a thin, belt like object around her waist, and more towards her back, a sheath was attached to it. She slowly drew the sword out of it. It wasn't really short, but it wasn't really long either. She hid it behind her back.
"That was a great battle," said Bit as he extended his left hand to her. He smiled. "No hard feelings." She looked down and smirked. She took his left hand with her left hand, and as he was preoccupied, she pulled her right hand out from behind her back, and with one swift motion, she pushed the sword right threw his stomach. As it entered his flesh, Bit winced in pain. His expression was of pain and surprise. Leena and Brad stopped out of sheer surprise and fear.
"Bit!" yelled Leena.
"Come on!" yelled Brad, as he started running towards them, shortly followed by Leena. Risai just smiled. She drove the blade as deep as it would go, so that the sword went all the way through and then some. Leena and Brad were now sprinting towards them. Risai found this amusing. She pulled the blade from Bit. He stumbled back a little, but eventually fell forward onto her. She just stood there and smiled her smirking smile. She laughed slightly to herself.
"What's wrong Bit? I bet you never saw this coming. I almost feel sorry for you," she said. Bit squinted tightly, trying to fight off the pain he felt. His right hand was clutching his wound. "The keyword there though…" she paused to draw her sword backwards, the blade shined in the sun. "…is almost." She sent the sword forward and back into Bit, making another cut all the way through. It was higher up than the original one, and it was closer to his heart. Bit let out a chocking sound, before Risai pulled her blade out. The once shining metal was now blood stained. Bit fell to the ground, struggling to breath. Risai turned around, got in her zoid, and quickly left, followed by the other two. Leena and Brad had just made it to him. Leena fell to her knees, bent down, and lifted Bit's head onto her lap. She held one hand under his neck, and the other around his left shoulder. Brad bent down near as well. Bit was still breathing, but was gasping for air. He opened his eyes and looked at Leena. She had tears in her eyes, but they weren't falling.
"Bit…I'm sorry," said Leena quietly. He managed to smile.
"It's ok," he said. She just looked at him.
"Hey," said Brad softly. Bit looked at him.
"Hi," said Bit. He gave a small thumbs up.
"Doc is on his way. Don't worry," said Brad.
"Don't bother," said Bit. Brad and Leena looked surprised.
"What?" asked Leena. Bit coughed a little. Leena could feel him chocking as she held him.
"Leena…I…need to…tell you something," said Bit in between coughs.
"Bit, please don't waist your strength," she said.
"Please."
"Ok, I'm listening," said Leena. The tears grew bigger, but yet would not fall.
"I just wanted…to say…" Bit narrowed his eyes and took in a deep breath. "…I love you." His eyes closed, and his head cocked to one side. His hand on his wound fell to the ground. Leena looked surprised.
"Bit?" she asked quietly, but she got no response. "No, Bit." She pulled Bit closer towards her and just cried. Brad placed his hands on her shoulders, closed his eyes, and dropped his head. The Liger Zero let out a loud and low roar. Leena let the tears flow freely and as if on cue, the clouds let the rain fall down to the ground below them.

Bit walked upstairs from the hanger. He went into the main room, only to find Leena asleep on the couch. He just smiled and was about to head towards the kitchen, when a small moan caught his attention. He looked at Leena. Her body quivered every once in a while. He slowly walked over to her. It was when he was nearly right next to her that he noticed a small tear escape her eye.
"No…" she moaned quietly. Bit placed his hand on her shoulder and gently shook her.
"Hey Leena, wake up," he said quietly. Leena stirred a little before she opened her eyes, which were met by Bit's green eyes. "Are you alright?" asked Bit.
"I'm fine. I just had a nightmare, that's all," said Leena. She looked down at the floor.
"You sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Well, alright." He turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait Bit," said Leena. Bit turned around to look at her.
"What?" he asked.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean it to be like that."
"It's ok. I'm sorry too."
"It's just that, well, I'm worried about…" Leena's voice got quieter as she spoke and the last part of her sentence was inaudible.
"What?"
"I-It's nothing really. Forget I said anything." She stood up and walked up to him. "Come on, let's go. The battle is going to start soon." They both walked out of the room.

"We're approaching the battle field," said Jamie.
"Well team, you know what to do," said Doc.
"Yeah. All we gotta do is rack up another win," said Bit over the com-link. Brad, Leena, and Bit were in their zoids, ready to mobilize. The hover cargo came to a stop as they reached their destination. Brad, Leena, and Bit mobilized their zoids and were waiting on the battlefield. Clouds were slowly starting to spread across the clear sky. Bit seemed bored. He wasn't a very patient person. Back in the hover cargo, Naiomi and Leon came in to watch the battle from the deck.
"Hey dad," said Leon.
"Has the battle started yet?" asked Naiomi.
"Nope," said Jamie. Naiomi and Leon walked towards where Jamie was so they could watch the battle first hand. "Doc, I don't see the enemy…" started Jamie as he looked at Doc, who had started playing with his zoid models. Jamie had an annoyed look on his face as he looked back towards the battlefield. Bit came up on the com-link.
"Hey Jamie. What gives? Where's the enemy?" asked Bit.
"I don't know. I'm not picking anything up on radar yet, but we still have about 10 minutes left before the battle is scheduled to start, so just wait."
"Awwww, but that's hard," said Bit. Naiomi just laughed to herself. Since Doc seemed to be off guard, Jamie needed to ask Bit something.
"Bit, are you absolutely sure you want to go into battle?" he asked.
"Yeah, I mean, don't you wanna reconsider?" asked Leon.
"No way. I already told you that I'm going and that's all there is to it," said Bit.
"Fine, just be careful out there," said Naiomi. Bit smiled and shut off the com-link. Naiomi seemed worried about something. 'I hope that nothing bad happens out there. Leena never got around to telling me about her dream. I just hope that this wasn't part of it.' The ten minutes were up and their opponents were approaching the battlefield. Leena brought them up on her monitor and then enlarged it. She could now make out the three zoids approaching them. There was a Saber Tiger, a War Shark and a black Gun Sniper. Leena became terrified. She knew she had seen them in her dreams. Eventually, she calmed down. 'I've had two dreams and the first one hasn't even happened yet, so they must just be dreams. People can't die twice.' After that thought, Leena was ready for battle. The judge capsule landed. "The area within an 8 mile radius is a designated Zoid battle field. This zone is now restricted. Only competitors and personnel have authorized entry. Danger. All others must leave the area at once. Area scanned, battlefield set up. The Blitz team vs. the Strikers team. Battle mode 0982. Ready! Fight!" said the judge. Leena stood and watched as Bit went for the Saber Tiger and Brad went for the War Shark. Leena stood there for a while until Brad interrupted her.
"Hey Leena, I could use your help over here," he said. The War Shark was hard to take down and Brad was having a lot of trouble. Leena turned to him and started firing at the War Shark. She hit it quite a few times. Brad took over from there and Leena went to go help Bit, who was still hopelessly charging at the enemy. The Liger flew backwards after receiving a hit from the Saber Tiger. In the cockpit, Bit was holding his right shoulder and trying to maneuver with his right hand, but it hurt. Jamie came on the com-link. "Bit! Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said.
"Hey you, don't be taking any risky chances out there. The last thing we need is for you to get hurt even more," said Naiomi.
"I'm gonna have to agree with them Bit. You should be careful," said Leon.
"Look. I told you already, and you can't change my mind. I'm going to battle, and that's all there is to it," said Bit. "Charge him again Liger." Liger charged forward at the Saber Tiger.
"Bit! Just forget it!" said Jamie. Naiomi seemed a little scared. This seemed like the perfect setting for an accident.
"Bit! Stop being so cocky and try to think strait for once!" said Naiomi. Bit switched off the com-link and focused on the Saber Tiger. Leena was behind him, and wasn't close enough to be able to help him, or stop him. Bit was focused entirely on the enemy, when a voice started playing through his head. 'Look, just don't do anything stupid out there, ok?' Bit recalled what Leena had said earlier. 'Why do you care?' He had asked her. What he had wanted her to say had never come, but then there was the other time. Bit recalled what they talked about before the battle, right after he woke Leena up. 'I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean it to be like that.'
'It's ok. I'm sorry too.'
'It's just that, well, I'm worried about…' Leena hadn't said the rest of the sentence loudly, but Bit had heard what she said. 'I'm worried about you.' That was all Bit needed. He stopped the Liger from charging and used his shot cannon to hit the Saber Tiger. In the cockpit of her zoid, Leena was happy to see that the Saber Tiger was out of commission. She turned and aimed her guns at the black Gun Sniper. It didn't even try to avoid her shots. It seemed too content on hitting the Liger Zero. It, too, was soon out of commission. The pilots of the enemy zoids got out and looked over the damaged machines. The one taller man seemed extremely upset about his War Shark. The man who was in the Saber Tiger took his defeat better, but still didn't look happy. The pilot of the black Gun Sniper was the last one to get out. She jumped down with ease. Leena's eyes went wide as she saw what she looked like. Her hair was long and dark blue. It blew in the wind, only to reveal a sheath behind her back, which contained a very sharp sword.

I finally did it! I put up the 5th chapter. Yay me! No more writers' block! I'm soo happy that I know what's gonna happen. I'm also happy that I can watch Zoids on TV now. It's not on Toonami, but who knows. Maybe they'll put it back. I sure hope so! Thank you to all of you who reviewed my fic. I thank you and I hope that you guys keep reading. Thanks for pushing me to write more too. I really enjoy writing. I think that maybe I'll start to reveal just what's going on soon. I hope you keep reading. And I meant to do this last time but I forgot. Risai Kamosu means 'to cause suffering'. The other two, Kagai and Jaken, mean 'evil' and 'cruel'. I just wanted to say that. I'll write more soon.
