Living Dream
Leena ran down to the cargo bay. Her body still weak from the lack of food but she shook it off. Now wasn't the time to think about her minor aches. Her mind was set on one thing.
Revenge.
It was the only thing she could think of. It was her mission. She had to make the people responsible for Bit's death pay. They couldn't get away with it. They would not escape unharmed. Not if she could do anything about it.
She could here voices down the hall. No doubt it was Leon and the others. Their footsteps were growing closer. She didn't dare look back.
"Leena!!!" someone cried. It was her father.
Leena just clenched her fist and picked up the pace. She wouldn't get the others involved in this. No one was going to be killed for her sake again. Not Jamie, not Leon or her dad.
And certainly not Brad.
She had never felt anything towards him in the past other then friendship. Still, even if she wasn't close to him, she was grateful he didn't push her away when she held onto him. He was the only person able to reach out to her. If it wasn't for him, Leena might've given up already.
But no matter what, he could never be Bit. He was Brad Hunter, the mercenary. Not Bit Cloud. He couldn't ever replace Bit. No one could.
And she was going to teach that to the Back Draft Group.
She caught sight of the entrance. They were getting closer. She wasn't going to have much time. Running into the cargo bay, she hit a switch and the metal door slid down just in time to stop Leon from getting through.
"Leena!!" and the rest was cut off. She ripped out the circuits so they wouldn't be able to come through that way. Catching sight of her Gun Sniper, she quickly got onto the lifter and activated it. The machine made a loud grunt before it brought her up to the cockpit of her Zoid. The pounding on the door had stopped. More then likely they were trying to find another way in. The hatch closed as she jumped into her seat. The Gun Sniper awoke with a hiss. Leena locked her weapons on the other Zoids. The Raynos and the Blade Liger were side by side, directly across from her. The system went red and she pressed the trigger, blaring out missiles and bullets. After multiple explosions, her barrage left two badly damaged zoids. Neither of them would be capable of going after her. She turned towards the Shadow Fox right beside her. She was hesitant at first, but seeing the door explode open with Leon carrying a large rifle was all the encouragement she needed. Leena fired several quick shots, hoping it would be enough to disable it.
"Sorry everyone." She whispered.
The huge cargo bay doors were closed. There was only one way out of that. With guns blazing, Leena charged out of the base into the desert. She followed the quickest way to Romeo City she knew. Her radar showed nothing yet. With luck on her side, the others wouldn't be able to catch up with her anytime soon.
Her father's picture appeared in front of her, worried and pleading.
"Leena! Don't do this! You don-"
And his face disappeared with a click.
"Sorry dad, but I have to do this," she said quietly to herself.
Maybe this was wrong. Every bit of common sense and reason begged her to stop and go back. Her mind was screaming to abandon this lost cause. Brad's voice kept telling her this was the wrong way to go about it. This wasn't what Bit wanted.
But her stubborn heart needed something to focus on. Anything to give a reason to keep living. Some sort of compensation even if it was only for a brief moment. The anguish was too great. Just looking at the desert brought back painful memories. Leena brought out the picture from her pocket and stared at it for some time.
*Flash Back*
Leena was sitting against a jeep. Her arms wrapped around her knees as tears streaked down her cheek.
Doc was explaining the battle to a Zoid Battle Commission Officer. There were no clouds to offer any resistance to the scorching sun. Jamie and Brad were being looked over by the medics. The Zoids were being sent for repairs.
Except for Liger 0.
There was almost nothing left of it now except for a few charred pieces. The fire was so bad that they couldn't find any trace of Bit's body.
"Doctor Toros, the warrior that ambushed you was captured weeks before the battle by the Back Draft Group. They demanded a ransom to his family and after several days, released him. This suicide attack was most likely caused by a mind drug the Back Draft Group uses on some test subjects."
"Mind drug?" he arched an eyebrow.
"Yes sir, it makes the brain obey all voice patterns of a certain person. Usually a high officer or member of the Back Draft. They use these people often as spies or informants."
"So they become mindless zombies then right? If that's the case, the infected people should be easy to find correct?"
The officer shook his head.
"The drug only takes effect when issued a command from that specific being. Otherwise, they act completely normal."
"I see..." Doc rubbed his chin in thought.
"It's nearly impossible to get through to the victim when they're in that state. They ignore almost all emotions and remember nothing."
They continued to speak.
A female medic with short black hair walked up to the crying girl. Leena's red hair whipped to the side by the wind. Sand grains were tossed into the air.
"Miss? Miss Toros, I have to check if you have any injuries."
Leena was silent.
"Please, Miss Toros, I need you to stand up for a moment."
Leena's eyes were still unmoving.
"Miss Toros, are you feeling okay? Is there anything wrong?"
"OF COURSE I'M NOT OKAY!!!! BIT'S DEAD BECAUSE OF ME!!!!" She screamed at the other girl. Dropping her head back to her knees, she sobbed even more now.
"Bit....I'm sorry..I'm so sorry...." she whispered to herself over and over.
The med officer was startled, but after seeing Brad shake his head, she gave up and left.
"Please forgive me Bit....It's all my fault...I'm... so... sorry.."
It was ten minutes later she noticed she was crying.
*End of Flash Back*
Leena snapped her eyes open. Her Gun Sniper was on auto pilot, running through the desert for nearly two hours. (AN: Is that what they call it for Zoids?) She must have fallen asleep shortly after she left the base. Her photo was tucked away back in her pocket, not wanting to ruin it with her tears. Wiping her eyes, she scanned the area without any luck and turned on the Zoid Battle Commission Network.
"As of now, the Zoid Battle Commission has captured thirty three members of the Back Draft Group that had escaped the assault on their base only days ago. There are still a large number of warriors unaccounted for. A dozen or so Lightning Saixs have been sighted heading north while at least five HellCats that were last spotted twenty miles from Romeo City seem to have disappeared at the moment. The Commission expects they have the use of stealth devices and to warn all people passing by in the area to be on their guard. The Battle Commission would like to thank all those who gave their assistance in bringing these criminals to just-"
A loud explosion cut off the transmission. The Gun Sniper was thrown back but regained its footing and looked around frantically for the direction of the attack. The smoke cleared up to reveal five HellCats. All of them had her surrounded. There was no escape.
A video image appeared, showing a man wearing a black suit and helmet.
"Well well, what have we here? A little lost girl perhaps?" he spoke in a creepy way that would've given Leena the shivers if she wasn't so blinded by her rage.
"Don't play games with me you bastard!!!" Leena screamed with every ounce of hatred she could muster. "I'll kill everyone of you!!!! YOU GOT ME?!? I"LL RIP OUT YOUR GOD DAMN HEART FOR WHAT YOU ALL DID TO ME!!!!"
Apparently he backed off, not expecting her too react so violently. His voice hardened and he leaned his head forward.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but I'll make you regret ever saying that!" he spoke with deadly earnest. "Warrior!!! Attack at once!!!"
"Roger that," replied a voice. A HellCat advanced toward the Gun Sniper.
Leena's eyes widened. That voice. She knew it all too well. Pressing buttons on her controls she brought of the warrior's image. Her breath was stolen away at what greeted her eyes. It couldn't be real. This couldn't be him. This had to be a trick. This wasn't possible. Blond hair, aquamarine eyes. It was only one person.
The cocky warrior.
A meddling junk dealer.
An arrogant young man.
The sole being she was hopelessly in love with.
Was staring straight back at her.
"Bit?" Leena whispered so quietly that she could hardly hear herself.
Only did she realize a split second later, that the person she was dying over, a lost dream brought to life.
Was going to kill her.
Hahahah!!! Cliffhanger again!! Make sure you review please! Don't worry if you don't understand everything, it will make sense next chapter. Please ignore any spelling or mistakes you see. I stayed up half the night working on this. Tell me what you think! Need Feedback but no flames please! Expect an update soon! Thanks everyone who told me about the dubbing Zoids. Now I have even more of a reason to hate Mary Champ. =)
Mary: *walks in* Excuse me, you hate the Queen?
Relena: That's not the proper conduct to attain peace.
Me: Oh geez, here comes Relena Bitchcraft and Mary Tramp. (sorry if you are a fan of these two characters, I mean no offense)
Mary and Relena: What did you call us???
Me: You heard me.
Mary: HISS!!! I will make you into a lawn ornament for my desert getaway! *lunges towards Tempest*
Me: *freezes her into an ice block* Hah! Lawn ornament my foot!
Relena: Heero! Come out so you can kill him!!!
Me: *ignites Relena's hair with fireball*
Relena: *screams and runs in circles*
Bit: *whispers* Isn't it supposed to stop drop and roll?
Me: *evil laugh* Maybe, but this is so much funnier to watch.
