Well, after months and months of pushing my writing techniques and my brain to the limits, I've finally finished it. This is definitely the last chapter of Premonition. It's what you've been waiting for. The resolution and you finally get to find out how everything will turn out. I hope you guys like it. I made the climactic points in my fic into song chapters, so I did the same with this. Thanks to this song, I found an ending that I absolutely love, and I hope you love it to. The song is "Destiny" from Fushigi Yuugi. I think the words fit well with this and I hope you love it. So, here it goes.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: It hasn't changed since the last chapter, but I don't own Zoids, only the characters I make and this fic. I also don't own the song "Destiny"
************************************************************************************************
(First intro music part)
The Ryu gem in Leena's hand began to glow and oddly enough, the wounds on Bit began to heal. The bullet wound was almost as if it was never there. She just hoped that it wasn't too late for him. After the wounds were completely healed, the stone stopped glowing, and then shattered, as if it had just exploded. Meanwhile, Toran had run back to his Rector and rebooted the system. His back up forces had arrived as well, so he ran out to join them. 'We will destroy them…all of them,' screamed his mind.
(Next part of intro…where the music changes)
Bit's eyes slowly opened and he sat up. Before he could say or do anything, Leena hugged him.
"Bit! You're alive!" she yelled happily with tears in her eyes. Bit just smiled and hugged her back.
"Sorry to worry you, but…how…?" he asked. Leena released him and smiled as she picked up a small piece of the Ryu gem.
"This thing saved you. It healed you and then shattered. Miharu and Taban gave it to me," she answered. Bit was still a little confused on how a stone saved his life.
"Where are they anyway?" he asked. Leena pointed behind him and he turned to look. Taban and Miharu, along with the unconscious Risai were only a few meters away from them. They waved to Bit and Leena, who waved back. Bit smiled, happy to see that everything turned out okay. They were then startled upon hearing the sound of metal clashing with metal and turned towards the sound. About 100 more troops had arrived and the Rector, though damaged, was fighting with them. They also noticed that everyone else had gotten into their zoids and were trying to fight off the oncoming forces. Bit's expression became stern and serious. He looked to Leena, only to find the same expression. They both nodded to each other and quickly got up, running towards their zoids. They both got in and then began to head towards the battlefield to help their friends.
(The road that runs in the city is like a river of light
The ground ripping us apart is just like the Milky Way)
Taban and Miharu stayed where they were as they watched the Liger Zero Schneider and Leena's Gun Sniper run out onto the battlefield. Taban then felt Risai shift in his arms and both of them looked to her. Her eyes opened slowly and then focused.
"T…Taban?" she questioned.
"It's good to have you back," he said with a smile. She sat up and looked to both of them.
"Mi…Miharu…you're here too," she said, with happiness in her voice.
"That's right." Taban and Miharu stood up, and Risai did so a little after. She smiled and then couldn't help it but give each of them a hug.
"I really missed you guys," she said, almost to the point of tears.
"We missed you too," said Taban. They were then startled by the sound of the battle. Most of the reinforcements had been taken out, and now they were fighting the Rector. Then the sound of something else caught their attention, and along with it came a gust of wind. Hovering over them was a huge, white Whale King.
(It's strange… My heart
Is quietly swaying
I want to accept it all with you,
Like the sea)
On the battlefield, Toran had noticed the white Whale King, belonging to the ZBC. He cursed under his breath, but he let his attention slip from the battle and was easily knocked down while he was preoccupied. Since the cockpit was already damaged, along with his zoid, it was knocked out of commission and he fell from the cockpit, but this time, he was knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, the Whale King had landed and many ZBC officers ran out and began to round up all of the Backdraft pilots who were sill in the area. They were relieved to find that every single one was there. They began to bring them back to the Whale King. Taban, Miharu, and Risai began to run up to it, and then a very familiar face walked out, followed by two more officers. It was Charles Jordan, one of the leaders of the ZBC and one of their friends as well. Risai stood behind Taban and Miharu, trying to hide. She was afraid as to what they'd do to her. Taban and Miharu saluted, but Charles motioned them to relax.
"Well done you two. This is a wonderful day indeed. Not only did you successfully complete this mission, but the Backdraft has been stopped as well. Make sure to congratulate the Fluegle, Fire Star, and Blitz teams for me," he said to them. Two guards brought Toran in. He glared at Taban, Miharu, and Risai, but then was put in the Whale King. "And don't worry about him. He will be locked up somewhere where he will never be able to escape."
"Thank you sir," said Taban. Charles looked to Risai, who was hiding behind Miharu and Taban. Charles smiled and motioned for her to step forward, so she did.
"It's nice to meet you, Risai," he said kindly. She smiled slightly.
"It's good to meet you too, sir," she replied.
"I can't wait to see the three of you working together. From what I've heard, the three of you make quite the team."
"You mean…I'm…"
"That's right. We can't send you to jail, since it wasn't your fault. I can see you're back to normal now, so there will be no charges placed against you."
"Alright!" cheered Risai. She turned to Taban and Miharu, who were just as thrilled as she was. They all pulled back their right arms, their hands in a fist. Each punched it forward, their fists meeting in the middle.
"It's great to have you back, Risai," said Taban.
"It's good to be back," she replied. They all just smiled.
(Destiny… Why does one person
Fall in love with another?
Each time I ask love,
I encounter myself)
Leena's cockpit opened and she jumped out and began running towards the Liger Zero. The cockpit to the Liger Zero opened and Bit jumped out.
"Bit!" yelled Leena. He turned just in time to catch her as she threw herself at him. They hugged each other, each smiling and just enjoying it. They released each other and then joined again with a kiss. They broke it and just stared at each other for a while.
"I'm glad it's finally over," said Bit.
"Me too. Now we can get back to our normal lives," said Leena. They both thought it over. "Well, as normal as things get."
"I'll agree with that." The white Whale King took off into the sky, along with their prisoners and they also took the Rector with them.
(Destiny… The stars will lead me,
If that's my fate
No matter what happens, I'll be OK
You are always there in my…universe)
Bit and Leena turned when they heard the sound of zoids approaching them. It was the Fire Star team. The cockpits to the three zoids opened, but only Rick jumped out. He walked over to Bit and Leena and smiled. They returned it.
"That was some battle," said Rick.
"You've got that right," agreed Bit.
"We should do this again sometime," joked Rick, a grin plastered on his face.
"Sure will," said Bit, giving the same grin.
"I think once is enough for me," said Leena.
"Once is enough for all of us," said Meiyuu from the cockpit of her zoid. They all just laughed a little.
"Well, it's been fun. We're heading back to our base now. We'll see ya around sometime."
"Yeah, you can count on it," said Bit. Rick smiled and then turned around. He got back in his zoid, but turned to them once more.
"We should battle again and finish what we started. It's strange, but I'm glad that battle was cancelled."
"Same here."
"Well, goodbye you guys. I hope we meet again, and soon."
"Goodbye!" called both Bit and Leena. Rick smiled and gave them the thumbs up and then the cockpit closed. All three zoids turned around and began to run off into the desert. The rest of them came over, including Taban, Miharu, and Risai. They all waved as the Fire Star team began to slowly fade into the distance. They were soon completely out of site.
(More instrumental stuff)
The Fire Star team was running through the desert, heading back towards their base.
"Man, what a week," said Rick.
"You're telling me," said Meiyuu. She then laughed. "But I have to admit, that was the most fun I've had in a long time."
"Yeah. It's a good thing our first battle with them was cancelled, otherwise we might not have gotten to be such good friends."
"Do you think we'll see them again?" asked Mattei.
"Of course we will," said Rick.
"You seem sure. I hope we do," said Meiyuu.
"Whether it's on the battlefield or off it, we will meet them again. I know it."
"Oh, and how do you know this?"
"It's fate. I know we'll meet them again and I don't care where. It's destiny, Mei, destiny."
"Destiny?" asked Mattei.
"You got it. Our meeting with them was destined, not lucked into. So I know we'll meet them again. It could be in a month, or even a few years, I mean, our real base is pretty far away from here, so I doubt we'll see them tomorrow or anything."
"Yeah, I'll agree with that. You can be pretty smart sometimes Rick."
"Very funny." They all charged onward through the desert, their eyes set on the road, and their minds on the adventure they just had.
Meanwhile, everyone else had gathered their zoids and had gone back to the Blitz team's base.
(Even if we disappear, the sights of the city
Wouldn't seem to change, but actually they would)
Taban and Miharu were grabbing their possessions and putting them in their bags. The teams all stood in the hanger; the doors open, waiting for them to finish. Risai was with them as well. Soon enough, Taban and Miharu walked through the door, their bags in their hands.
"I guess we're ready," said Taban.
"Well, we're really going to miss you guys," said Leena. "You've done so much for us."
"Think nothing of it. You've all helped us in a lot of ways as well," said Miharu. They walked over to Risai and then turned to face the teams.
(It's not the same world
Without someone else
Because we live connected to each other
At an unseen place)
"Thanks for everything you've done for us," said Taban.
"We should be thanking you," said Bit. "I'm alive thanks to you guys. You've saved us all more than enough times."
"And vise versa," added Miharu.
"It'll be strange not having you guys around anymore," said Leena.
"Well, we'll miss all of you," said Taban.
"And we'll miss you guys too."
"You all take care," added Doc.
"Thanks," said Taban. "You guys too. I don't want to have to come and play bodyguard again."
"Don't worry. Now that the Backdraft group is gone, things should quiet down."
"So, what will you guys do now?" asked Jamie.
"Well, the Backdraft isn't officially gone," said Risai. "There are still followers out there."
"That's right, our job isn't over yet," added Taban.
"Well then good luck, cause it looks like you'll need it," said Brad.
"Thanks."
"We should probably head out now. It's gotten late," said Miharu.
"Yeah."
"I'd like to apologize for causing all of you so much trouble," said Risai.
"Think nothing of it. It's all in the past now," said Bit.
"Thank you."
(Destiny… Nobody except you
Can become you
So with a smile, in tears,
I tell you that you're irreplaceable)
They turned and walked out of the hanger. The three of them shoved their right arms into the air, the small gems on their bracelets glowing, and then their zoids could be seen, making their way over. They stopped once reaching their pilots.
"You know, I never could figure that out," said Leon.
"These gems emit a pulse that travels to the zoids. Each pulse is different and designed for a certain zoid. You could also think of it as a telepathic link. We hold them up so that the sound can travel far enough," explained Taban.
"Oh," they all said, still confused. Taban, Miharu, and Risai jumped into their zoids.
"Bye!" yelled Taban. "It's been fun."
"It sure has," said Bit.
"Take care, you guys!" yelled Miharu.
"You know it," said Leena. They all waved as the cockpits to their zoids closed and they took off into the desert. They watched until their zoids could no longer be seen.
(Destiny… Because that's our promise
From before we were born
Our love can overcome sorrow
Shining in your universe, I become…myself)
"Well," started Naiomi. "It's about time we got going too."
"So, you guys are leaving?" asked Jamie.
"Yeah," responded Leon. "Our vacation is officially over."
"But don't worry. We'll see you guys again soon. We always do," added Naiomi. Their zoids had already been loaded onto their transporter. They walked over and hopped in. They waved goodbye and the hatch closed. Then they, too, drove off into the distance. The Blitz team was left alone once again and after Naiomi and Leon disappeared into the distance, they walked back inside, ready to resume their normal lives.
(Destiny…Why does one person
Fall in love with another?
Each time I ask love,
I encounter myself)
Bit stood on the roof of the Blitz team's base. It was late and the sun was setting, painting the sky a beautiful blend of reds, oranges, and yellows. He thought back about his new friends and about his old ones and also about all that had happened within the last two weeks. It had been the most fearful, and yet the most wonderful and fun experience he had ever had. He then turned as he heard footsteps behind him. He smiled when he saw Leena walk up next to him.
"Whatcha thinking about?" she asked.
"Everything. All of it, all we did in the past two weeks. It's been so much fun, yet I don't think I'd want to do it again."
"I second that." Bit put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. She leaned against him and they just stayed there for a while, watching the sunset.
"Do you think we'll ever see them again? You know, the Fire Star team, and Risai, Taban and Miharu?" asked Leena.
"Of course," answered Bit.
"You seem sure."
"It's destiny. We're all destined to meet again, just like we did. I'm sure of it."
"What do we do now? Where do you think our future is heading?"
"I'm not sure, but…"
(Destiny… The stars will lead me,
If that's my fate
No matter what happens, I'll be Ok)
Across the desert, three familiar zoids were still traveling along.
"This has been some mission," said Taban as he sank down into his chair. He looked to the com-link that showed the inside of Risai's cockpit. She was sound asleep. He smiled and shut off the com-link that was connected with her zoid.
"I have to agree with you," said Miharu. "This has been some adventure. It's also the first mission like this that we completed."
"I know. I can't wait to get back to headquarters. I think we should ask for a vacation."
"That's a good idea." It was quiet for a while as they just traveled through the desert.
"Hey, Taban?"
"What?"
"Where will we go after this?"
(You are always there in my…) (A/N Bit and Taban are gonna say these things at the same time, okay?)
"Who knows…I guess…" said Taban.
"We'll go," said Bit.
"Wherever the road takes us."
(…Universe) (Instrumental)
The three zoids continued to travel through the desert, silently and peacefully, while Bit and Leena still stood on the roof of the Blitz team's base, silently staring at the sky, wondering what the next day would bring.
That night, Leena slept the most peaceful night she had had in a long time.
************************************************************************************************
That's the end. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love the ending of this fic and I hope you do too. I started this a long time ago and I've stuck with it, but it's only because you guys encouraged me. I'm sad to say that I lost some reviewers, but I also gained a lot. I'm happy you guys liked this, and to tell you the truth, I'm sorta sad that it ended.
About the SEQUEL
This is about the sequel. I will write it, but only if you guys want me too. I also want to write a prequel, but I'm gonna write the sequel first. I wanted to inform you about what it will sort of include.
First off, I'm thinking of going with the same theme as Premonition, you know, with the doomed to die and stuff. I want to and I hope that's okay with you guys. Almost all of the characters from Premonition will be back. Some having bigger roles than others. Risai will be focused on a lot more.
Also, I want to pair Leon up with one of my characters. You're all welcome to take a guess, but I can't give you anything if you get it right, so don't expect anything.
And well, this is a little IMPORTANT. I had a goal for this fic to have 210 reviews, but I haven't been getting as many reviews as I used to, but I still hope I can reach my goal. I don't plan on putting up the sequel until I reach it, so pleaz PLEAZ review!
Well, the sequel will be called "Destined for Loneliness" as far as I know of, so look for it, that is, if I can reach my goal. I at least want 6 more reviews. I don't need to reach my goal, but I'd really like to. Well, until we meet again.
