Chapter 2
As the team was getting dressed, Jamie walked into their rooms and gave them all some good news. Their head team manager, stationed in Bayonne NJ, was coming to watch their battle. This was all great news, for their manager was a top Pokèmon trainer; who was also related to Ash Ketchum.(the world's greatest Pokèmon Master) She was, in fact, his twin sister, and her name was Ashley Ketchum. The Blitz team members greatly respected her and admired her wonderful Pokèmon. This bit of news made them all change even quicker, and they soon assembled back in the lobby with a half hour to spare. They all waited patiently for her arrival. Finally, the doors to the Lobby opened, and in walked Ashley; accompanied by the Doc, Jamie, and her Growlithe. "ASHLEY!" Lina exclaimed, rushing over to her. Ashley smiled and gave her friend a hug. Everyone else crowded around their beloved manager and they talked for a very long time. But all too soon, it was time for the battle to begin. Ashley gave them some words of advice, and then the Blitz Team headed for their Zoids. They soon were seated in the cock- pits of their Zoids. They did a quick check to make sure everything was working properly, and then the huge doors to the place was opened. They crossed their fingers for good luck, and started up their Zoids. They could hear the Dark Judge's annoying laugh. Soon, he cried out, "Battle Mode 0999! Blitz Team versus the Bacdraft Group. Ready.... Fight!" "Here we go!" Bit cried. He and his Liger Zero soared out and onto the battle field. Next came Zanity, Lina, and then Brad. They were almost immediately attacked. Brad was hit by a bomb blaster. His Shadow Fox roared. Zanity charged after a Spinozapa with great speed. Lina stood her ground as an Iron Kong charged at her. At the last second, she moved out of the way. The Iron Kong careened into the side of a mountain, and broke apart. "One down, 3 to go !" Cried Bit. Meanwhile, Zanity was steadily gaining on the Spinozapa. The person driving it turned it around, and called, "You'd better watch out, maggot, or you might get run over by my Zoid!" Zanity clenched her fists. then, she smiled. She called, "I don't think so... and besides- if you are as good as you say you are, you'd know that you should not judge your opponent by how they look- and... let me tell you - you are up against one of your toughest opponents ever!" With that, Drago opened his mouth and shot out a huge ball of fire right onto the other Zoid. The Spino zappa roared in pain as the fire burned. But the evil driver laughed. "Is that the best that your stupid Zoid can do? Ha! That's pathetic!" Zanity grew very mad. No one was going to make fun of her wonderful Zoid... and get away with it! She yelled to Drago, "Charged Particle Laser!" The other Zoid burst into flames and fell to the ground when it was hit by the powerful attack. It was weaker than a Charged Particle Gun, bbut strong enough to defeat any regular opponent- only once, though. Meanwhile, Bit and Brad were cornered by three tall red raptors. They swung their spiked tails into the boys' Zoids. Bit's Liger roared, and grabbed the tail of one of the red raptors, and swung it into another, making them both explode into flames. "Great shot!" Brad called to Bit. "Thanks!" Bit said... but it was mostly ligar's idea! He suprised us both with that attack! Right, Liger?" His Liger roared and stomped his feet loudly, making the ground shake. Shadow fox nodded his large head. "You won't get away that easily!" Shouted Lina to someone in a Spino zappa who was trying to escape. She chased them across the rocky ground; going too fast. She wasn't aware of the danger she was in, until it was too late... Back in the station, Ashley gasped as she watched Lina run too fast over the stony ground. "Lina!" she cried. "Slow down!" But for the first time ever, Lina didn't listen. "No, Ashley! I am too close to him to slow down! Then he'll get away!" She then sped away even faster to catch up even more to her enemy. Ashley put her hands on her face. That's when it happened. Lina's Gun Sniper tripped over a large rock, and fell to the ground. Lina's head slammed against the window of the cock- pit, and she fell unconscious. Bit gasped. "Lina! Lina!" he cried, but it was no use. She was out cold! Bit and Brad tried to get to her, but a huge Iron Kong jumped in front of them. Zanity was the closest, and she ran for Lina's Zoid. Drago Doom opened the door to the cock- pit, and carefully scooped Lina out with his huge clawed hands. Drago laid Lina on the top of a high cliff; out of harm's way. Lina opened her eyes and moaned in pain, clutching her head. Zanity smiled down at her in relief. "Thanks." Lina said with a returning smile. "I owe you one." Zanity smiled and was about to say something, when the runaway Zoid from the Backdraft group that Lina had been chasing raced back and saw his advantage. He pounced on Drago doom and bit into him with his sharp teeth, tearing at the armor that protected him. "Aaaah!" Zanity cried. She had been caught off guard and now she was in trouble! She tried to shake the Spino zappa off, but it had attached itself tightly to her Zoid. Suddenly, the Spino zappa swung her around, and slammed them into the side of a mountain. Bit was shooting the Iron Kong when he saw the Spino zappa attacking Zanity. "You ok?" He called to her. She was in great pain (from being tossed around inside her cockpit), as was her Zoid, but she managed to call, "He caught me off guard, and I can't get away! I won't last much longer!" Then the communication link went blank. Bit gasped and called to Brad, "Brad! Take care of this Iron Kong! I need to help Zanity!" Brad nodded, and finished off the already weak Iron Kong. Bit raced towards them, and jumped towards the Spino zappa. But to his suprise, the Spino zappa jumped off the ground, grabbing Zanity and her Drago Doom, and large wings popped out from its sides. Bit gasped in suprise. "A Spino zappa can fly?!" he thought. They soared through the sky, hovering above Bit and Liger. "Let her go!" Bit cried. The pilot of the flying Spino zappa laughed. "If you say so!" he called. With that, he let go of them and they fell to the ground. Bit gasped. Crash! They hit the ground, and there was an explosion. "Zanity! Zanity!" Bit called to her. No answer! He lowered his head sadly. Suddenly, the door to the cock- pit of the damaged Zoid opened slowly. Zanity staggered out of the Zoid, and slowly walked away from the fires. Bit heard her voice come out over the communication system. "B-Bit... i'm ok... I need help..." she then fainted and fell onto the ground. Bit gasped and ran out of his Zoid and over to Zanity. He hugged her. "I thought she was dead..." he thought to himself, "But somehow, she pulled through... something inside of me feels strange... almost a feeling of relief... of course I am relieved... she's a good friend... but there's also something else..." He wasn't able to figure it out just yet... He yelled to the judges, "Stop the battle! We forfeit! We forfeit! She's hurt!" The dark judge was more than happy to call the battle to an end. Bit held Zanity, trying to wake her. As the Spino zappa walked past to get back to the rest of the Backdraft group members, the driver called to Bit, "Hey, looser! You'd better watch your backs! If you guys can't fight, why don't you just give up?" Bit growled in anger, but stayed with Zanity. Lina and Brad soon joined them, as well as Ashley, the Doc., and Jamie. They had with them an Organiod belonging to Ashley who carried Zanity back to the Ship, where she could be given medicine and care. They all had been in a tough battle, and were all just as bummed that they had to forfeit the battle. They all waited in the lobby in silence as Zanity was treated.
A little while later, the Doc. came out of the medical room saying that they could go in and see her now. Quietly, they would all file into the room one at a time, and visit Zanity. She was probably sleeping, and had a broken ankle allot of cuts and bruises, and hurt her neck and back really bad. Lina was first to see her. She sighed in relief. Atleast she would be able to battle again. Lina then sniffed. She felt that the accident had been all her fault, and that if she had been listening to what Ashley had been saying, and slowed down, she wouldn't have needed to be rescued by Zanity. "Hopefully she'll forgive me... hopefully the whole team will forgive me... I guess it really was all my fault..." With that, she walked out of the room and let Bit go in next. As soon as he walked in, Zanity opened her eyes, and saw Bit. "Bit..." she whispered, "Please take care of Drago doom for me... make sure he is ok... please..." Bit smiled. "Of course." he said. He started to walk out of the room, when he heard Zanity call to him, "Wait, Bit!" He turned around. "Thank you for saving my life. I owe ya one." Bit smiled and then shrugged. "Ah, it was nothing. I'd do anything for a teammate." With that, he walked out of the room; thinking, "She's more than a teammate somehow..." All day, Bit worked on Zanity's Zoid. At first, Drago doom didn't really like him, but after a while, they got to know eachother, and became pretty good friends. "You know," Bit heard a voice from behind him say. He turned around to see Lina. "Why are you doing this for Zanity? Every other time we have gotten hurt, we still had to take of our Zoids... she will do it when she is better! Now come on... lets go and get some ice-cream." But Bit shook his head. "No, Lina, Zanity asked me to take care of her Zoid. She cares about him too much, and if she wasn't so hurt, you know that she would come and take car of him herself. But she asked me to do something for her, and how many times has she helped us out? And besides... she never asks us for help... so i'm gunna have to pass on the ice-cream." Lina frowned. Then, she caught herself, and was shocked at what she was thinking. "What? Am I being jealous of Zanity? No way! I totally owe her, and besides... I know that Bit loves me and not her. They are just friends..." "Sorry, Bit. I didn't realize. But I am proud of you for helping a friend out. I'll see you later, then." With that, Lina waked out of the Zoid section of their ship, and hopped onto a hover board and sped away to an ice cream shop- alone.
The days went by, and Zanity was still not allowed to battle. She was saddened by this, and was almost always depressed. She dearly missed her Zoid. She laid in bed, dreaming about how they always spent time together as the best of friends... allot of times she would find herself silently crying and wipe her eyes. She also noticed that Bit would visit her more often. She didn't think much of it, only reasoning that he was being a good friend. She appreciated it, and looked forward to seeing him. He was the only one who could get her mind off not being able to battle. The door opened, and in walked Bit. He sat down at the edge of her bed. "How's it going?" Zanity smiled. "As good as it's gunna get." Bit laughed. "It must be pretty hard not being able to be with your best friend, huh?" Zanity smiled. "Well, I've got you..." then, she caught herself, and blushed. So did Bit. "Um... thanks. I'm glad you think of me that way... and I... um... err... what I mean to say is... I feel the same way about you." Zanity then smiled. "Thanks, Bit. It's great to have a good friend to confide in." There was a long pause. "So... how's Drago doing'?" Zanity questioned. Bit smiled. He then told her about the progress that he was making in his training. Outside the room, Lina narrowed her eyes. She had heard everything- especially the part when Bit told her how much he liked her... and she knew that by the way he smiled and blushed that he didn't tell her all he felt about her. Lina let a tear roll down her cheek. Bit was falling in love with Zanity.
