Arizda: Yessiree, it's just lil' ole me! I r ready for the next chapter, r U? Well, here it is! I'm away from my home in CA at the moment, visiting grandparents in Nevada. :) So, I have lots and lots of time to write, I hope. I guess...... yea. Okay, well, here it is, the NEXT CHAPTER! Oh yes......

Disclaimer: Zoids I own not, Kudo Bars I own not, and the only original character that I OWN in here is Runa and her Zoid, oik? Oik.

.:;;;:;;;:;;;^^^^^^^^^^^;;;:;;;:;;;:.




Leena couldn't BELIEVE what she was hearing. She began to giggle slightly, staring up at the screen in front of her to look at the faces of Brad, Bit, Runa, Kashie, and D-chan.


"Staying with us, huh? Is that so? You really think you can do that?" she asked, trying to stay as calm as she could. Bit and Brad knew that she was going to fire up, some time.


"Yes! I REALLY DO think I can do that! And if you really do have a problem with that, then for all of the Kudo Bars in the world, dammit, you can shoot the hell outta me!" Runa replied. Leena smirked.


"Oh, really?" she asked.


"Leena, wait, before you decide to totally mutilate everyone with the guns n' stuff, consider what she's saying! She does have a good point! I mean, Miyuki does have some information that she needs, and she's never gonna get it if we don't let her stay for a little while..." Bit replied.


"Bit, are you crazy!?" Leena asked.


"Agreed, you must be crazy, Bit. For all WE know, The Alliance could be some really evil... evil group!" Brad added.


"But we DON'T know... and I betcha ANYTHING that Doc does! Yus! We take Miyuki and Runa over to Doc! Runa's story will probably check out!" Bit said.


"Ah-huh... you sure think that it's gonna be that way, don't you? If my dad DOESN'T know a thing about The Alliance, then she'll probably kill us!" Leena shouted. There was a brief pause. "Naaaaaaaaa... Bit, I don't know why I'm doing this, but... yeah, okay, bring her in..."


"What?!" Brad shouted. He felt totally abandoned. His ego had just gotten the biggest dent possible. Him, being the oldest one piloting a Zoid at the scene, had just been dumped with his intentions. Then he remembered--Miyuki was inside HIS Shadow Fox. "Hah..." he replied. "Catch me... if... you can!" he said smugly, and then threw the controls forward as far as they would go, causing the Fox to thrust foward, and dart away at incredible speeds.


"No! Wait, Brad! What the hell do you think you're going!?!?" Bit shouted.


"Nooooooo! How could he just... bla... DO THAT WHEN MAJORITY RULES THE VOTE?!" Leena whined. "Now we'll never catch him! He's practically got the fastest Zoid there is! Maybe you can catch up to him, Bit!"


"Naw, there's no way I'd be able to catch him, now..." Bit mumbled. Leena and Bit both heard slight giggles from a few of the other Zoid pilots.


"They have no idea how fast we are!" Kashie sniggered.


"I know. Your Zoid is the fastest here. Go get 'em, boy!" Runa giggled. She watched Kashie and his red, orange, and white custom Zoid--the Slashback Spino--get ready to take off. The Slashback Spino balanced on one strong leg as several boosters lit up on it's back beside the sail of spines. Then, it gave a little jump, and raced away, chasing after the already just-a-little-black-dot-running-towards-the-horizon Shadow Fox. It was incredibly fast. It was so fast, it just about became a blur going after the Fox. It had cornered him between a few tall boulders in less than two minutes. The downfall was that Kashie's Slashback Spino was poorly armed. Speed it's strong point, everything else being a weakness. He had decided to ditch every other chance of having a strong point just to increase the speed so friggin' much. He DID have a few trick's up his sleeve, however.


"They aren't going to FIGHT, are they?" Dalanette asked, quite worried.


"If they do... Kashie's gonna lose, big time," D replied.


"Well, this wasn't quite my intention... fighting, no, winning however, a big fat yes. But if he wins... Bit's got one sorry-ass pilot on his team..." Runa said.


"So, what's it gonna be?" Kashie asked, his Slashback Spino dancing back and forth.


"Whaddoya mean, 'what's it gonna be'? I'm NOT gonna get *beaten* by a 12-year-old, I'm not handing Miyuki over, and there's no way that Runa's gonna stick around with us!" Brad shouted. Kashie smirked.


"Fine, be that way. I see how it is," he said. It didn't take long for the sail of spines on the back of the Slashback Spino to charge and flare up. This acted as a warning. "Just so you know, this attack will NOT settle for light damage on that pretty-lookin' Shadow Fox of yours!" he added.


"So I guessed. The Shadow Fox won't take it easy on YOUR ugly-ass Zoid, either!" Brad said, bitterly. Kashie narrowed his left eye.


"Okay, FINE! I GAVE you the chance to get away unharmed!" he shouted. In an instant, the tons of charged spines on the back of the Spino shot forth and exploded on impact with the Shadow Fox.


"KASH! What are you DOING?! I didn't say FIGHT for her! She can't be THAT important! Geez!" Runa shouted. "Get back here, we're going back to The Alliance!" On his sister's command, Kashie rocketed back to the scene, leaving the heavily damaged Shadow Fox to do something on its own.


"But, I thought you wanted to stay," Bit replied. Leena wanted to tell him to cut it out, for she hated to death the thought of Runa bunking with them until Miyuki woke and was questioned. But she also wanted to agree with him 100%, and she didn't know why, so she just did.


"Y...y-yeah..." she added.


"Well, if it's no problem with you guys, sure!" Runa replied with a wide smile. Bit was a little happier that she was all cheery again.


"Come on, Leena, let's go see if Brad's okay," Bit replied, turning to his fiery female friend in a GunSniper. She followed him to the site where the Shadow Fox was getting up, and dusting the desert sand from it's insides.


"That damn kid... I'm gonna shoot him down, one of these days, real soon. You just watch me," Brad replied bitterly as Bit and Leena came his way. "And you aren't seriously thinking of letting her stay with us, are you?"


"Actually... I was quite serious," Bit said, a little slowly. Why was everyone so shocked that he wanted Runa to hang around? "I mean, if we aren't going to hand Miyuki over to them, and if they need the info, what else is there to do?" he asked.


"SHOOT THEM!? TELL THEM TO GO AWAY!? Pfffft, sometimes... sometimes, Bit, you're just a little--" Brad started, but was quickly interrupted by Leena.


"Off the hook," she finished. "Err, a LOT off the hook, is what he was supposed to say..."


"Tch, more like a little fuckin' CRAZY!" Brad shouted, wanting to strangle his blonde partner. Bit frowned.


"Lighten up, Brad," were the only words he cold manage to say.


"Ooooh... Bit, I have a feeling that was one of the wrong things to say... hehe... yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahh..." Leena muttered to him. The two had jumped out of their Zoids, and were walking towards the other scene, when Brad jumped from the open cockpit of the Shadow Fox and onto Bit.


"YOU want ME to LIGHTEN UP!? LIGHTEN UP, YOU SAY!?!? YOU try being the only one with MORE THAN HALF A BRAIN on this team!" Brad shouted. He was on top of him on the ground, now, shaking him by his collar. Bit tried to hide behind his collar and looked up at Brad with his eeeeeeeerily bright green eyes, which showed fright. But, it wasn't BRAD he was afraid of. He glanced to the side of Brad's shoulder to see a fuming mad fiery redhead standing behind him. He made a little whimper.


"YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS LOOKING AFTER A BUNCH OF BIMBOS!" Brad shouted. He was sure he could hear Runa laughing her head off in the distance.


"BIMBOS, he says, bimbos!" Runa laughed.


"WHO'RE YOU CALLIN' A BIMBO!?" Leena shouted, rolling up her already short sleeves, getting ready to punch Brad in the face, right where he deserves it.


"Oooooh my God, this is just too freakin' funny, watching their team fall apart," Runa replied to Ricky, who was in a little less pain, now.


______________-=======================================-_______________



The Liger 0 had gotten quite fed up watching the Blitz Team tear each other apart, so he decided to walk back to the Hover Cargo, Runa and Midnight following. Leena just beat the crap outta Brad for beating the crap outta Bit, while Bit just let the crap get beaten out of him. Kashie, Dalanette, D-chan, and Lewis just went back to The Alliance, taking Ricky with them.





Jamie was at the stove in the kitchen of the Hover Cargo, cooking random dinner-foods while Doc messed around with his Zoid models. He ignored the peculiar noises from the hangar, thinking it was just the return of the remainder of the team. However, a few moments passed, and Bit, Brad, and Leena never walked in.


"Doc," Jamie replied, "did you hear the noises from the hangar?" he asked. Doc stopped flying his toy Pteras around in the air and set it down on the counter.


"Probably just Leena, Brad, and Bit. I wouldn't worry about it," Doc replied. Jamie gave him a lopsided grin.


"But... they haven't come in yet. I'm gonna go see what's going on in the hangar. You make sure nothing burns," he said. Doc became frantic.


"B-but how do I do that!?" he asked. But Jamie never heard him, he was already just about in the hangar. Yeah, already just about in the hangar before a young female face not much older than his greeted him.
