Chp.7
"Who did it?" Jamie sat in the room with everyone else. Harry filled them in on everything except the mushy stuff when they arrived. "Why would someone be after you, Bit?"
"Your guess is as good as mine," Bit said, though it sounded as if he was lying.
"Bit Cloud, you can't lie to me," Leena shot him a look of 'and you know it too.'.
"Well, I was thinking. Three years ago, I ran into this man. His name remained to no more than Stinger. I had grown ill from the traveling and lack of food and water.
*flashback*
"Hey, boy," A man yelled. He was a tall man with blqack hair and green eyes. He also had a slight beard, but not much of one.
"Huh? Are you speaking to me?" Bit coughed.
"Come with me, boy, you don't look up to travlin'. Get over here," The man said pointing to his Whale King.
"Okay," Bit said weakly and led Liger Zero into the zoid.
*end flashback*
"That doesn't seem so bad," Doc said, leaning back in his chair. "Why would he be after you?"
"I'm not finished yet. In fact that was just the start of the trouble. Here goes," Bit began again.
*flashback*
"So, why must I call you Stinger?" Bit asked the man. "You don't look as old as me. Why don't you use your real name?"
"You shut up, boy. As long as you're here, I ask the questions," Stinger argued.
"I thought you were going to help me," Bit grew angrier.
"You were wrong. I have no wish to help you, Bit Cloud, not after what you did to my father," Stinger looked at him angrily.
"But-AGGH!" Bit felt the sharp pain of a whip in his back. "Th-this isn't fair. You tricked me into thinking you were a good person."
"Maybe you need to learn to trust no one. A man as weak and caring as you doesn't deserve to pilot the Liger Zero. Get up. I'll set you straight," Stinger demanded. Bit got up.
*end flashback*
"Things got harder and harder everyday. He did all he could to make me fight against the rules. I learned through this time, though I'd become more ill every day, to learn how to sneak," Bit said as everyone listened intently.
*flashback*
Bit stood outside a door in the middle of the night. He was leaned against the wall and listened through the half open door. "So, you couldn't pilot the Liger Zero either," Stinger said.
"No sir," A man said.
"You are a disgrace to me. My family name does not alow disgraces. You be sorry that you messed with the name of Layon!" Stinger yelled as the man ran out. Bit grabbed him as he ran out.
"Tell me everything you know, and I'll get you outta here without danger," Bit whispered. The man told him everything, including the location of the Liger Zero. That night Bit escaped by a hairline. If he had been any slower, he would've been destroyed.
* end flashback*
"Wow, so you believe he's Layon's son?" Brad asked as Leena left to get a drink.
"Yep, and he's gonna do all he can to get me. He thinks that I drove Layon insane, but I didn't! He was pretty much like that I always thought," Bit said.
"AAHHmghph," Everyone heard from the kitchen. Harry and Bit were the first there to find a note written to Bit. It said:
Bit Cloud you fool,
I have your little girlfriend with me now. If you want her back, give me the Liger Zero. You have four hours. After that, she will be tortured till death. Maybe I'll tape it so you can see. Make a choice. Leena Torros or Liger Zero, it's your call.
Stinger
"NO!" Bit hit his knees and pounded the floor. "Leena!"
"What are you going to do?" Jamie asked fearfully.
"I'm gonna fight him and take Leena back. I'll fight him bare handed too. No zoids, or he'll just take em'. I'm going now!" Bit ran out.
"Bit, you crazy loon, you can't just go running in like that!" Jamie tried to call to him, but Bit was already far away. "Great."
The sun had lowered, and it was almost night. Bit had arrived at the whale king. He could see it from Harry's, but it had been farther away than he thought. This was when all the sneaking he'd learned would come in handy. "Alright, here goes. You'll pay for taking Leena. I love her," Bit whispered fiercely and found a way in.
"Who did it?" Jamie sat in the room with everyone else. Harry filled them in on everything except the mushy stuff when they arrived. "Why would someone be after you, Bit?"
"Your guess is as good as mine," Bit said, though it sounded as if he was lying.
