Author's Notes

I meant to get this up on July 1st but the site was down. Anybody else finding all these glitches annoying? I'm guessing that's why chapter six only got three reviews. Anyway, I wrote the battle scene, it's bad. Oh, I named the girl from the chainsaw man episode. I named her that (yes you have to read to find out) because it's the same as my little sister's and they're actually very similar. Their hair color is about the same, and they both like torturing people. Also, I haven't seen the episode with the chainsaw man for a while so if I get some details about the little girl wrong I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry this took so long, it's partially because I've been having a small case of writer's block. And the other part is I've been writing three other stories for my own enjoyment. One is actually an AU B/L zoids fic, but it isn't that good so I probably won't be posting it. And why am I writing all this? I have no life so I'm making all of you listen before you read the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids.

Leena woke up later than usual that morning. When she went down for breakfast she found that

Leon and Naomi had already left. She was surprised to find when she went downstairs that no

one was there. So she stood there a minute looking around. Two seconds later...

"Leena! Come on what are you doing?" Bit ran past her, grabbing her hand and pulling her

towards the hanger.

"Bit? What's going on?" she asked as she ran to keep up with him.

"We got a really weird message and now we're being attacked. Everyone else is already out

there. I came back to get you."

They reached the hanger. Bit quickly climbed aboard the Liger, who was already waiting outside

in Schneider mode. Leena ran over to the RaeKuma, it lowered its head and growled at her

questioningly. Leena looked down, then back up at the RaeKuma "I am not taking the time to

change; I'll have to fight this one in my pajamas." She answered it as she climbed into the

cockpit. As soon as she had the restraints in place the RaeKuma took off. When Leena got onto

the battlefield she took a minute to analyze what was going on. Jamie was in the air taking care

of two zabats; Bit had charged right into everything and was attempting to cut apart some Rev

Raptors. Brad was shooting at a gun sniper on a nearby cliff. They all seemed to have things

under control and there was nothing for her to do. She was going to shoot down one of the Rev

Raptors since Bit had been the one who dragged her out here anyway but her plans quickly. The

RaeKuma had been standing upright, an easier position for Leena to see what was going on, but

now it was lying on its back with a Helcat on top of it.

Leena, being quite upset that she had been caught off guard decided on the best course of action.

The Helcat had pinned the RaeKuma's limbs to the ground so there wasn't much chance of

getting free. Leena smiled. Whoever that piolet was they knew nothing about her zoid. "Launch

the short range missiles and close the armor immediately." Leena commanded. The RaeKuma

complied. The chest armor slid open, two small missiles were fired and the armor closed

before they impacted the Helcat. Since the zoid was now out of commission Leena tossed it to

the side. She was just about to go look for a new opponent when she spotted the Spino Sappa

(okay, I've heard Spino Sappa, Spino Snapper, and Spino Sapper, anyone know which one it is?)

and the little girl. The zoid had picked her up and was holding her in two cupped "hands."

Leena didn't move, didn't think, she barely breathed. Why was she here? Was she real? Or was

she a ghost? The little girl giggled, an eerie sound that echoed. She bounced the ball she was

holding and disappeared.

"It was the weirdest thing, I know I saw her." Leena told the others.

"Saw who?" Bit asked.

"That little girl from before, the one with the Spino Sappa. Remember, with the gang of thieves

that played off the chainsaw man story? I saw her on the battlefield again with the Spino Sappa."

"Whatever you say Leena." said Brad.

"But she was there. She was wearing a white dress and hat and had light brown hair. Why

would I be making this up?" While the others continued to try and convince Leena she had been

hallucination Doc went to go and make a phone call.

"Hey Alex, I'm sorry to bother you but Leena's been saying that she's seeing this little girl on the

battlefield and-," he paused a moment.

"What is it Tauros?" Alex asked.

"No, it's probably nothing."

"You know I don't believe in coincidences, tell me." Alex pressed the other man.

"She sounded just like Rachel."

There is a minute of silence from the other end, then; "I'll be right there."

* * *

"Everyone, this is my good friend Alex." Tauros introduced the man to the warriors of the Blitz

team who welcomed him.

"Thank you all, I'm here to tell you a story, because we now suspect that because of past events

there are people after you, as proof of your battle this morning." He paused and took a breath, no

one spoke.

"I worked on the organoid project with your mother Leena." At this Leena's eyes widened, the

rest of the group wasn't so affected. All of them had been briefed on the history of the

RaeKuma, but no one knew more than Bit.

"There was a woman named Erica who worked on the project with Lily and I. She was the

original test piolet. One day we were running some tests, but something went wrong. And, she

died." Once again he paused. The subject was obviously difficult for him. "It was really more

through her own carelessness then anyone elses. She hadn't taken some of the safety

precautions, she thought she hadn't needed to, there had been no previous problems during

testing. But there was a malfunction... anyway the original zoid design was scrapped." Leena

silently breathed a sigh of relief, she felt bad for Erica but she would have never been able to

piolet the RaeKuma again if she knew that someone had died in it.

Alex continued, "It was really no one's fault, but her daughter, Rachel didn't see it that way. She

was angry sand wanted someone to blame, so she blamed the only person she knew. Your mom

Leena. The project was top secret and Lily was in charge of most of the family relations, if any

of your people needed to work late Lily was the one who called them. Lily had visited Rachel

many times because they scheduled tests at all different times. So Rachel blamed Lily. She was

young, and as smart as she was it just made sense to her. Lily was the one who told her about her

mom's death, Lily was responsible. The thing was, Rachel was sick in the hospital. She had

always been a frail girl and after she contracted pneumonia, she died not long after her mother.

This is a picture of her."

He took a picture from his jacket and held it out for the Blitz team to see. Leena gasped "That's

her! That's the girl I keep seeing!"

"Hold on, how do you know all this?" Jamie asked.

Alex tucked the photograph back into his jacket. "Because," He said, "Erica was my wife, and

Rachel was-is my daughter."

Did anyone expect to see Alex again? I didn't expect to put him in again but I needed someone to tell why the little girl was after Leena, and I will be explaining further if you don't understand. Really sorry this took so long. Anyway review if you can!
