Chapter Five: Alive

Brad was sitting down to a nice cup of coffee. Tomarrow they would have another battle, and they would make some money, but now it was time to relax. He was oblivious to the fact that the Doc was right behind him.

"Hi Brad!"

"What the.. oh its just you Doc. So whats going on?"

"Turns out I'm an idiot at predicting dates. The new armor for the Fox will be ready by tomarrow!"

"You got a professional to put the parts together didnt you?"

"At the expense of alot of your money, of course"

"We need to win tomarrow dont we?"

"Or we're in debt again!"

"Great"

"Oh by the way, have you ever talked to your zoid?"

"Not really why?"

"You should"

"Again why?"

"You know how Bit always talks to the Liger?"

"Ya?"

"The Liger actually understands and responds. I beleive the Shadow Fox, also pocesses the ability to think and act on its own."

"You feeling ok Doc?"

"Shut up and listen. The Shadow Fox is a new zoid but its core isn't."

"Where's its core from?"

"The backdraft group had an amazing Lightning Sykes that wouldnt let anyone pilot it. It fought battles and won on its own. When they needed a zoid core, they chose this one, beleiving it was special. It was. That zoids core actually wasn't a Lightning Sykes. Part of it was from a Command Wolf piloted by the great Irvin. This Command Wolf was alive, as alot of the zoids used to be, before we started mass producing them. I beleive that the core was damaged and implanted into the Lightning Sykes to keep it alive. That means the Shadow Fox is alive. It isnt as capable as the Liger, but if you talk to it, maby you'll be freinds or work better together or something"

"I'll give it a shot"

"Good man!"

The Doc wandered off to find Jaime, leaving Brad to his thoughts 'The fox alive? Thats impossible, but... I did hear it faintly a couple of times. Im goin nuts! well might as well try and talk to the Fox. Maby Doc will be right. Ya like that ever happens'

All the same, Brad walked in to the zoid garage part of the hovercargo and walked up to his zoid. 'How do you start conversation with a zoid?'

"Yo Fox!" Unexpectedly the Fox whiped its head around and look at its owner.

"You hear me and understand me dont you? Can you respond?" The Fox let out a series of howls. Slowly, the howls turned to a sort of language in Brads head. After about 10 seconds it was perfect english. Yes I can hear you and respond. "Why did you never talk to me before?" I did, you just didnt listen hard enough. "Oh sorry" It is not a problem. "So your old huh?" Yes so very old. Many bodies as well. "So I've heard. How do you like this one?" It is the best of all. "Glad to hear it. So is there any problems?" Yes of a sorts. "Care to explain?" We are not work together. Now that you understand me, I hope you also listen to me "We'll be partners in crime, you and me Fox, partners in crime" Yes just like my old partner. Your his ancestor you know that? "What an honor. Im the ancestor of the first merc, Irvin." Your just like him too. "Cool. You rest up partner. Tomarrow we'll try on your new armor, and fight." Till we meet again. And with that, the Foxes eyes dimmed down, showing that he was asleep. 'I think I'm gonna like this zoid. Kinda like an old freind I never knew i knew' And so Brad sat down to watch some TV, Leena snoring on the couch beside him.

The Doc, how ever, found Jaime talking to his Raynos, and applying a frsh coat of paint. "Your such a pretty zoid yes you are! I love you Raynos!" "Wow Jaime I never knew you loved your zoid so much!" "Heheh hi doc" Jaime was slightly embarrased to be caught talking to his zoid. "You know that the Raynos can respond dont you?" "Its never talked to me before." "Keep trying, thats zoids alive you know." "How so doc?" "Its an ancient zoid Jaime, older then me. Its so old, I think its from back when Zoids Came from Zoid eve, and not from factories." "Wow that old eh? Well ill give it a shot!" "Ok Jaime" sayed Doc as he walked away "Can you hear me Raynos?" The Raynos can't hear you Jaime "How would you know Wild Eagle?" I am the spirit of all who fly. This zoid is alive, but it will not respond to you. "Who will it respond to?" Me of course! "I should have known" Hey arn't you worried about Pierce? "I was trying to forget that!" Oh sorry then. Hehehe

---------Later that day, When the day became night--------

"YAY monster movie night!!" screamed Bit and Leena "yay" Brad and Jaime said in dull voices.

Bit poped in "I was a mutant from the planet of bacon bits" a classic. They watched the whole thing and every time Leena got scared, she jumped onto Bit. The watched another movie. And another. By the third one, Jaime and Brad were gone, And Bit and Leena were sharing the same couch. By the end of the last video, Leena was quivering in fear while Bit tryed to calm her. They fell asleep in each other arms in about an hour with some sitcom still playing on the TV. Brad, Jaime, and Jaime's alter ego, the Wild Eagle, crept into the room. "Aww isnt it cute?" "I wonder how long until their dating?" I hear wedding bells! "They make such a cute couple." "Like you and Naomi Brad?" "...Shut up"

And so the day ended.
