The Battle of the S Class: 2nd Time Around
Part 1
Shinji had been lying down on the sofa. He hadn't moved since their last zoid battle, two days ago. The repetitive motion of his chest rising and falling was the only proof that he was still alive. Everyone, even Ritsuko, was worried about him. Misato was the first one who dared to approach him, and try to snap him out of it.
"Shinji, what's wrong?"
Silence.
"Is it the food?"
Silence.
"Was it the battle?"
"That's exactly what's wrong, Misato."
"What about the battle?"
"The fact that we always win. For as long as you've been with us, can you consciously recall a loss?"
Misato had nothing to say to that.
"We've been winning too much. I've been thinking about throwing a battle, just to lose."
"That's what you've been doing? Thinking about how to lose?" screeched Asuka in disbelief.
"That and girls in swimsuits." he replied. Misato chuckled slightly and Asuka punched him. He winced and rubbed his arm lightly. "That wasn't necessary, Asuka."
"I know. But you're still a pervert." she replied, glaring at her teammate.
Misato paused, and thought for a bit on how to improve Shinji's mood, when suddenly, she was struck with an idea. "I just had an idea. Why don't we invite the Blitz team over for dinner? You know, kinda as a way of saying sorry for beating them so badly." This was the first good non-combat idea that she has had in a long time. The others looked at her in surprise, and Shinji looked at her as if lobsters had started to crawl out of her nose.
"That's not a bad idea, Misato. I'll call them later today to ask." said Asuka. If it would help Shinji get out of his depression, she'd gladly do it.
"Thanks, Asuka. Say, have any of you seen Rei around lately?" asked Shinji.
"I saw her using the vid-phone about five minutes ago." replied Ritsuko. "I don't know who she was talking to." Just as she finished talking, Rei walked in.
"Oh, Rei, there you are. Who were you talking to on the phone?" asked Shinji.
"It was a person claiming to be from the Backdraft Group." She responded. Everyone knew the Backdraft group's reputation. "And they wanted to challenge us to a battle." All the people in the room drew in an apprehensive breath.
"And did you accept?" asked Misato.
"No, I told them to call back later." replied Rei. Everyone released the breath that they had been holding.
"Good. Now we can get them back where it hurts." said Shinji, sporting an evil grin, one better suited for a Backdraft officer than to a law-abiding zoid warrior.
"Shinji, what are you thinking about?" asked Ritsuko, noticing his grin.
"Tactics."
"Well, don't think too hard, we need you for the battle." Misato said. "Asuka, why don't you make that call now."
"Yeah, sure." Asuka replied as she walked to the vid-phone.
&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&
The vid-phone rang on the wall of the Hover Cargo's living room, but no one wanted to answer it. They were all too depressed to answer. Finally, after being fed up with the rings, Jamie got up to check who was calling. He pressed the 'respond' button next to the screen. Jamie was promptly met with the face of an angry red-head.
"WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE?!? DID ALL OF YOU DIE JUST NOW?!? Oh, hello. Uh...sorry about that."
"Blitz Team. Jamie speaking. How can I help you?" Jamie always was the polite one.
"Yeah, hi. This is the Penguin team calling. All of us felt kinda bad about beating your team like that, so as a way of saying sorry, we'd like to invite all of you to dinner at our place." Every member of the Blitz team perked up and paid attention immediately.
"Judging from your reactions, I'd say that you're accepting our invitation."
"I guess we do. What time do you want us to arrive?" asked Jamie.
"About 7 'o clock Thursday would be perfect."
"Great. How do we get to your place?"
"Go to these co-ordinates. We'll be there when you arrive." answered Asuka, sending a set of numbers over to the hovercargo's computer.
"Thank you." said Jamie.
"No problem." replied Asuka before she cut the connection.
"Okay guys, we've been invited to dinner. What do you think about that?" said Jamie as he asked around. Almost everyone cheered while Brad just nodded his head and smiled.
"That's the day after tomorrow. It'll take us a while to get there." Commented Jamie.
"Well, that's not that big a deal. If we use the Hover Cargo, it won't take that long to get there." said Doc Tauros.
"So we're going, right?" asked Bit.
"Yes, we're going to accept their offer and have dinner with them." replied Doc Tauros.
Another round of cheers went up.
&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&
"Okay, I asked them and they accepted." said Asuka as she walked back into the living room of their transport.
"When are they coming over?" asked Rei.
"Thursday, at 7:00."
"Okay, I need to think of what to serve. Any suggestions?" asked Shinji.
"A soup would be good. You can make it in large quantities, I mean, you are feeding ten people." suggested Misato.
"That'll be nice. We haven't had a good soup in a while. Any other ideas?"
Everybody pretty much agreed with the idea of soup. Shinji knew that it would be a vegetable soup since Rei was a vegetarian. He got off of the couch and started to make a list of everything that he would need for dinner.
&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&@&
A lone figure sat before a comm screen, the only light coming from said machine. A sinister chuckle emanated from the figure.
"Soon, Penguin team, soon. All of my plans will soon come to fruition, and all of your zoids will belong to the Backdraft group."
Evil laughter filled the room.
