I'm BAACK! Thank you, bmath2002 for that review! (And yes, I do like cliffhangers, so there!) Pleeze r+r. Thank you!

Disclaimer: You already know, I don't own Zoids, just like everyone else on this site. Except for one of the models.

Inside the medical wing, Bit stared in shock at his brother. Meanwhile, everyone stared in shock at him. "He's your brother?" Leena said, breaking the silence. "Yeah. His name's Jack. He left home a year or two before me, to become one of the elite Zoid pilots. I haven't heard from him for a long time. It was like he had disappeared, or something." Suddenly, he turned around and grabbed Jamie by the shoulders and started shaking him. "He's going to live, right? He's gonna make it, right?" "H-h-h-e's i-n st-abl-e- c-ondi-t-io-n, Bit," Jamie managed to croak out as he was being shaken up. Finally, Bit let go of Jamie and looked one last time through the pane of glass separating him and his brother, then slowly retreated down the hallway back to his room. As Jamie and Doc went to contact a real doctor, and Brad went with them to see what he could do, none of them noticed the concerned pair of violet eyes that followed Bit... ******Later that night*********** The moonlight filtered down through the window. A silhouette stood outside the glass of the medical wing, then moved away... Bit sighed as he walked to the living room and plopped down in a chair. Never, in his whole life, had he ever felt so helpless. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm down. But he couldn't. This was his older brother, Jack! He was supposed to be invincible! But he looked so vulnerable behind that window. There was nothing he could do, except wait. Suddenly, a voice cut through the night. "Bit? Are you all right?" Leena stepped forward from the shadows, dressed in some ruffled pajamas, and looking at him with worrying eyes. "No, Leena, I'm not. I can't help it. He's my brother! We used to do everything together. But... that might never happen again. He looks so frail! I keep thinking, what if he doesn't wake up? What if he... dies?" Bit looked down at the floor. "Bit, after you left, Jamie and Doc went to call a doctor, who's coming in tomorrow. And Jamie says he's in stable condition, so he's got a better than 50-50 chance of making it. So try to get some rest, and hope it all works out." Then, she leaned over and lightly pecked him on the check, and, blushing furiously, she ran back to her bedroom. Bit, in considerably higher hopes now, returned to his bedroom. But sleep didn't come easy, and it was a while before he finally nodded off...

At the unknown base, the two men were once again talking. "Sir, the Berserk fury is now at 100% working order." "Good. Have you contacted Vega Obscura yet?" "No, sir. We believe we might have found another pilot..." "The Berserk Fury only listens to Vega. I want you to find him and bring him back here to pilot the Fury. He's the only one who can." "Yes, sir." As the smaller man walked away, the other man looked at the silver Zoid behind him. An evil smile slowly crept across his face as he thought of what would happen to that annoying wretch named Bit Cloud... The next morning...

As the doctor packed his bags, he said to the Blitz team, "Well, I can assure you that he will definitely live. The gunshot wound was the most serious injury. But even that wasn't as bad as it could have been. Only a flesh wound, passed clean through without hitting any bone. However, he will have to stay in bed for a few days, and out of Zoid battles for at least a week. Contact me if anything goes wrong. Oh," he added, turning to Doc," here's my bill." Doc nearly did a double take when he saw the figure at the bottom. " Here, Brad, you can take care of this" he said quickly, putting it into Brad's hand. "WHY ME?" "You asked if you could help in anyway possible..." Doc said, quickly putting more and more distance between him and Brad. "Get BACK here, Doc!" Brad yelled as he took off after him. As everyone else sweatdropped, Jamie looked up at Bit and Leena and muttered, "Isn't that your deal?" The end of another chapter! Oh I feel so proud of myself! ahem Oh well. Until next time, Adios, Muchachos!
