Chapter 5: Leena vs. Ashley
Disclaimer: I don't own zoids
Author's Note: Things are going quicker now. I'm more concentrated now, working more on all of my stories. While I'm writing this I'm am currently grounded from the Internet…again! I only had a week of the Internet to get chapter 4 up. But now I'm not sure how to get the rest of the story up. Don't worry though; I'll get it up somehow.
Wind blew the sand as two zoids faced each other, both were not moving. Waiting for the other to make the first strike. (Author's Note: Leena's not charging head first into the battle. Amazing.) For thirty straight minutes they stood there…waiting. The first one to move was the Genesis, but the Gun Sniper didn't see it because it was going so slow.
All of sudden the Genesis leaped to the right, and started running in that direction.
"Are you afraid of me!?! Huh!?! Answer me!?!" Leena yelled as she sent a couple dozen bullets…completely missing the target because of its speed.
Ashley smirked, "It's amazing how fast you can go with all those weapons on your Sniper."
"Ooooohh! Now your starting to sound like Naomi!" Leena yelled as she sent another shower of bullets. This time hitting the target. Making the Genesis fall to the ground.
"Ha! Take that!" Leena triumphed as she walked up to the cat-like zoid.
"Don't think you've beaten me that easily." Leena was shocked as the Genesis lunged for one of the Sniper's legs but Leena was quicker than Ashley anticipated, and jumped out of the way and shot another barrage of missiles, hitting the target.
"That's what you get for trying to trick me," Leena shouted but the Genesis stood up again.
"Damn, how do you get that thing down!"
"Now to make things more difficult," Ashley said with calmness in her voice.
"That's pretty big talk for someone who's losing."
"We'll see."
*******
"Come on Ashley! What are you doing!?! Your gonna make me lose money!" Bit yelled from the base.
"Better hand that money over, Ashley's beat," Brad said holding out his hand for the money.
Doc sighed, "And it looked like an impressive zoid. To bad it can't be on the team."
"What are you talking about!?! The match hasn't even started!" Everyone just stared at Bit, but his eyes were glued on the Genesis. Then he made a smirk.
"It's just the beginning." Everyone was clueless of what he was talking about.
"Bit. What are you talking about?" Jamie said. But Bit didn't respond, he was still watching the battle.
********
The battle raged on. The Genesis looked beat.
"Ready to give up!?!" Leena yelled as she fired madly at Ashley.
"Yeah Whatever! How do you do against an air attack!?!"
"Now I think your going insane!" Leena said as she sent heavy metal towards Ashley but this time it didn't hit the target. The bullets hit the ground and fierce smoke appeared. The Genesis ran out of the smoke and started running at top speed. Then out of compartments wings appeared (Author's Note: Kinda like Shadow's wings in the new Zoids, early in the mourning.) it leapt into the air and flapped its wings a couple of times to keep flight.
The smoke cleared and the Sniper looked around for the Genesis but couldn't find it, "Darn it where did she go?"
"You really want to know?"
"Stop taunting me and tell me!"
"Watch your head."
"AHHHH!!" A zoid that flew past the sniper and hitting it with a sonic boom, it was identified as the Genesis. The sonic boom was so big that it made the Sniper land head first into the ground.
"Darn it!" Leena yelled as she hit the control panel. It read…Combat System Freeze.
The Genesis landed softly next to the ground and the cockpit opened. Ashley jumped out next to Leena.
"I told you I win. This means we're team mates now, well…You're a worthy team mate," Ashley said extending a hand to shake.
"…" Leena didn't say anything but she shook Ashley's hand but squeezed it a little more than normal. Ashley looked at their hands and then let go.
"Is there something wrong?"
Leena sighed, "If you wanna kno…"
"Ash! You're the best!" Bit ran up to Ashley picked her up and spun her around a couple of times. Leena bit her tongue.
"Tell me something I don't know," Ashley joked.
"Thanks to you I gained twenty dollars!" Ashley's sweat dropped.
"You were betting on us!" Ashley and Bit turned toward Leena. Bit immediately became scared and Ashley looked at him in confusion.
"D..Don't blame me! Everyone else did it! Right guys?"
…Silence…
"GUYS!?!" Bit slowly turned towards Leena who was flaming by now.
"BIT!!"
"AHHHH!!!" Bit made a mad dash towards the hanger with Leena close behind him. Ashley stood there for a moment, still confused.
"I got it!" She yelled as she got out a small portable video camera, and then she started running after the two people.
"The stunts and the speed and…and everything they do. It's inhuman. How do they do it?" She talked as she saw them ahead of her. She focused the lens and pressed the recording button.
"This is a definite win for America's Funniest Home Video's!"
(Author's Note: Yeah I know they live on a different planet than us, but they have to have something similar to the show. Sorry this chapter was a little shorter than the rest. The next chapter…Leon comes for a visit and meets Ashley. What will happen? Please Review.)
