A/N: This is my first Zoids ficcy, and I've been planning it out n' all, so please tell me what you think after you read it! I plan on writing much more, too! And I don't want to give away whether it's B/L, or Brad/Naomi, or anything like that, so don't expect me to blurt it out! By the way, the first chapter isn't going to give anything away, so don't expect it. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Zoids. If I did, you'd see another series called "The series made by OC Starabuddy", but you don't, so ah, there you go, I- DO-NOT-OWN-ZOIDS!



*The waves roll in and out, Runa, the sky sends it's love down to you with the moon and the stars, and the whisper of the night. You know that they'll always be after you no matter how much you do right. But for love, ah, love, that is another matter. The love you seek shall never be found, for you are not one to be loved ~~*

Soft sounds echoed through the cavern's walls. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. There was not a soul down here, there wasn't anything worth looking at down here. He didn't know why Jamie had to send him down here in the first place. Though he had to admit, it was a lot better than lounging around in the hover cargo all day with Leena giving him strange looks. She was playing a joke on him-she had to be.

Several thoughts went through Bit's mind as he explored a strange cavern on Zi. Why there was a cavern on such a deserted area like this, he felt he would never know. He waited for a few seconds taking a quick glance at the end of the cavern. Seeing nothing but a glimpse of a rock wall, he decided to head out. Empty. A waste of his time. He could've spent that time eating cookies or relaxing. Bit Cloud, piloting the Liger 0 of the Blitz team, slowly walked back to the hover cargo, shuffling his feet as he went.

Each of the Class S hover cargo's around the area that the Blitz team was in had been given specific places to stay put for several weeks. A warning had been given out around the area. A very high warning, rating an 8 on a scale to 10. Doc had said it was probably because an unknown Zoid team was intruding the area, making a big fuss with big weapons and such. A group like the Backdraft group.

"So, what do you REALLY think it could be?" Leena asked, with a can of grape soda in one hand. Doc was sitting across from her in the living room of the hover cargo with his Zoid models, Jamie, Brad, and Bit. "I mean, the Backdraft Group? I thought we saw the last of them for a little while."

"Leena, it's been a little while," Doc replied. Jamie and Brad exchanged glances with each other.

"Actually," Jamie began.

"We're quite sure that it has nothing to do with a Zoid group," Brad finished. Bit, Leena, and Doc gave them suspicious looks.

"Well then, what DO you think it is?!" Leena asked, throwing her arms up in frustration. Once again, Jamie and Brad gave each other looks.

"The Cakes."

"The cakes?" Bit asked. "What do cakes have to do with anything? Yeah, they're really good, and I can see why we might have to stay put for a few days because of the shock of the populous when they run out in the market but-"

"No, Bit! They probably don't mean EDIBLE cakes!" Leena shouted.

"Actually, Bit's on the right track. Have any of you ever heard of D-chan the Cake Bandit?" Jamie asked. Bit was taken with shock.

"Cake Bandit? So you mean we have this really big, huge, 3 week delay because of the burglary of a few CAKES!?" he asked, a little angered.

"It's been leading up to a few other things," Brad said. "Since the Cake Bandit first struck, many S-class warriors have been upset, and now that the Cake Bandit is still striking, hitting many warriors of higher classes, it could start something big."

"I hope WE don't get struck." Leena replied. "The Cake Bandit will probably take my cookies!"

"Speaking of cookies." Bit started.

"NO, Bit, stay away from my cookies!" Leena shouted at him. Bit smiled and then saw leaving the redhead's cookies alone as a good idea.

"Bit, you should really check out that cavern again, tonight," Jamie suddenly said. He was a little off topic, but everyone silently forgave him for it.

"Why? There wasn't anything in there when I looked ten minutes ago," Bit replied.

"We have to find the Cake Bandit's hideout so we can take her in. Otherwise, we'll probably be stuck here for another two weeks," Jamie replied.

"I don't know if you're really believing all of this stuff about D-chan the Cake Bandit, but yeah, we'll definitely be here for a few weeks if we don't do something about it," Doc added.

"Well then, I'll give it a more thorough looking-through tonight." Bit replied, disappointed.



Why couldn't they send Brad? He was perfectly capable of getting the job done. Then again, it would cost a hefty price, for something like this. And there was no WAY Leena would go, so Bit figured he would just have to be the one to get the job done.

The rest of the night went over quite smoothly, doing Zoid repairs and such. Except for the occasional fights between Bit and Leena, of course. By the time 11:30 came, Bit was in a hurry to get out of the hover cargo and back into the cavern. He ran through the hangar one last time before he left to explore the murky cavern he had been in earlier.

Bit had well armed himself just in case the Cake Bandit tried to pull a fast one on him. He had armed himself with a medium-sized hand knife and half a dozen tiny throwing daggers. He thanked God for giving him good aim.

Bit was walking down the same path down the cavern as he was earlier when he began to hear peculiar noises from deeper in the rocky walls. This spooked him.

"It's the Cake Bandit! She knows I'm here!" Bit wailed to himself. He suddenly heard loud feminine screaming from deeper in the cavern.

"Aie! She's. she's killing someone!" Bit wailed again. Then, he listened carefully, to find that it wasn't happening like that.

"Let me go!" the female voice pleaded. Bit strained his ears to hear what sounded surprisingly like a male snigger. He found himself inching closer to the scene, unnoticed.

"Let me go!" she shouted again. Bit hid behind some stalagmites so he could get a view without being seen. Apparently, a young blonde girl had gotten herself into a bit of trouble with a gang of punks, to say it simply. Two guys were holding her in various lock positions while another stood in front of her, rubbing his finger along the blunt edge of his pocketknife.

"Whatever you want, I probably have it! Just let me go, and it's yours!" she cried. Once again, the man in front of her sniggered.

"Girlie, I don't think you could even BEGIN to give me what I want from you!" he said.

"Wha.?" the blonde wondered.

"Just what do you think you're doing down here in this cavern?" he asked.

"I was EXPLORING! What else would I do down here!?" the girl asked. "Now that I've answered, WHAT DO YOU WANT!?"

Now she was pissed. Bit figured if it weren't for the other two men holding her in "touchy" lock positions, she would've torn the one man to pieces by now. She had a sheer violence rating that strongly compared to Leena's.

"Guys," the head man began. This signaled the two others to tighten their lock on the girl. She let out a slight moan of pain and winced. Bit's eyes widened as he bit his lip, watching the main guy snip one of the straps from the girl's green top with his pocketknife. That was enough. He was going to end this, and he was going to end it now.

He casually walked into the scene, unnoticed by all except the girl. She squirmed to get out of the locks, but they only tightened on her. She whimpered again. The first man was about to snip the other strap, when a powerful punch came to him. He shook a little and pointed his knife at Bit.

"You aren't supposed to be here! Mind your own damn business!" he shouted. Bit smirked and pulled out his hand knife.

"Looks like it's my business, now!" he said.

"You bastard! I gave you the chance to get away!" the man yelled. He circled around Bit several times before making his failing move. He lunged forward, only to get stabbed in the chest with a tiny dagger. Bit quickly turned around after pushing the one guy off to see the two other guys hauling the girl into a small Arial Zoid. With his almost perfect aim, he threw a dagger at both of the men. The girl dropped to the ground, trying to gather her senses. Bit ran up to her.

"Are you okay?" he asked. He was taken quite aback with the response.

"What do YOU want with me!?" she cried, slowly wiping tears from her reddened face. Bit realized that she had every right to be scared.

"I. I don't want anything," Bit answered. "I just want to help you."

The girl seemed to be a little surprised. She dried her face and took a deep breath of air.

"Help me? Why on Zi would you want to do that?" she asked. Bit cocked an eyebrow.

"Why wouldn't I?" he asked. He had no idea what he had said wrong to make the girl look at him so strangely.

"Everyone's after me-aren't you?" she asked, rather dryly.

"Uh. not unless you're D-chan the Cake Bandit." Bit said.

Arizda: Erm. shorter than I wanted it to be. Oh well. Anyway. *in a dramatic announcer voice* Who is this girl wandering in the cavern? Could she possibly be D-chan the Cake Bandit? What will she do to Bit? Will I ever finish chapter two in the same day? Well, we'll find out. ^_^ Please review! I love reviews! And flames are welcome too, because I will use them to toast my marshmallows. : p
