Disclaimer:  See chapter one for it, I don't want to repeat myself every time I writ a new chapter…

Author's Note:  Sorry for the long wait, I just had an ISEARCH project due this week and I couldn't find a time to just sit down and type, there was so much work involved.  (I always seem to put everything off until last minute)

This story has Bit, Leena, Baron Harkonnen and Ordos Superior at the age of 21.  Doc is 49, Brad 24 and Naomi 23, along with Jamie at 19 and Vega 17.  Pierce, since I don't know her exact age, is 22 in this.

Ice Wizard:  Several notes that I wanted to make clear for everyone:  The Atreides are now under the heel of the Harkonnens, and the ORDOS had the high technology: would you call lasers 'weaker weapons' compared to a crude Harkonnen Buzzsaw or a Minotaurus?  I think not.

CaptRico: I can't answer the question of who the guy in the white armor is, but you'll have the answer before the end of this chapter (though the choices are kinda obvious)

Last Time, on Red Dawn…

"Damn!!"  Korba yelled, as the ship shook under the intense barrage, though the shields were holding at the moment. "The Harkonnens just had to pick this time to attack.  Lucky us."  "Oh, but you're not just 'lucky'…"  Several new Ordos recruits had just walked into the officers' lounge and tore apart their uniforms to reveal a tunic of red and black coloring, each holding shining silver swords.  "We're going to help you pass the barrier between the living and the dead…"  "Not if I can help it…"  The seven enemy soldiers turned to face the speaker, but only saw a man standing there, clad in glowing white armor with golden highlights, a pulsing blue blade extending from his left gauntlet.  "Now, Harkonnen.  You shall all pay for the Baron's misdeeds…"  "Hah!"  One man laughed.  "Seven on one seems unfair to me, but, oh well.  What's one more death?"  With that, the Harkonnens rushed the man, the rest of the Alliance rooted to their spots in horror…

And now… the continuation of The Alliance is Formed!!

Red Dawn: Insurrection

            The seven Harkonnen soldiers leapt toward the man, in anticipation of another kill.  However, that was not so.  Just as the first Harkonnen was about to thrust his sword into the armor, a wide, sweeping arc of azure light flashed, and the soldier burst into a small explosion of blood and gore.  The rest of the Harkonnens froze, not knowing what to do now, as the Rebellion stared at the fluid-like motion and the efficiency of the man's actions.

            Leena stared at the man.  She had a strange feeling, that somewhere, she had seen him before.  Just then, as the man launched himself forward and cleaved two red-uniformed men into halves, a lock of golden blonde hair fell down out of his visored helmet.  Leena, startled, made the obvious connection, as did the others. 

            "Bit?!"  She asked, incredulous. 

            The man, after thrusting his pulsing blue blade into the last of the Harkonnens, turned and straightened, facing her.  His right hand, now covered with gore,  flipped up his visor, revealing a pair of emerald green eyes.  He smiled. 

            "So, what do you think?"  Bit replied, talking to all of the Rebellion members.  Vega was staring at him, Brad, Doc and Jamie with their mouths open and hanging, and Naomi, Pierce and Leena with confused looks on their faces. 

            Naomi was the first to regain control over her mouth.  "But…  How did… What just happened?" The rest of the Rebellion nodded in agreement, the shock of Bit being that graceful wearing off.

           Before Bit could answer, Korba stepped up to him.  Bit saluted him, causing the mouths of the Rebellion to fall again. 

            The ship had stopped rocking; it seemed that  the Harkonnen plot had been foiled by two Ordos battlecruisers that were cloaked beside it.

            "Sir!  Commander Bit Cloud reporting, green for duty, Sir!"  Bit stood at attention.  "At ease, Commander."  Bit relaxed.  "Please explain to your comrades why you saluted me; that may clear things up."

            Bit turned to face the rest of the Rebellion. 

            Leena walked up to him and poked him between the ribs.  "You have a lot of explaining to do, Bit Cloud."  "Yeah," was the unanimous response of the rest of the Rebels.

            "Ahh, well,"  Bit put his hand behind his head in that anime style.  "It's a long story."  "We've got time."  Doc said, his eyebrows furrowed.

            "Well, to begin:  Before any of you can accuse me of being an alien or anything, I ­­_was_ born on this planet.  I was then trained by the Ordos as an operative on this planet to report any sign of enemies.  When the Harkonnens came, I immediately sent a message to the Ordos homeworld reporting that the Harkonnens were on the move."  Bit paused to take a breath.  "I had just came back from training when I came upon your battle in my stealth truck.  The only reason I stopped was to keep up my identity; my 'clients' for used parts would have wondered where I was for the last year or so.

             "I was given the top training anyone could get during that year.  I was trained to repair any vehicle, wield any weapon, and use anything as a source of protection."  Bit stopped to look at Korba, who nodded, then continued.  "I was also given a ship to command, the IOS Redhawk, a class-A battlecruiser."

            When Bit was done, the rest of the Rebellion stared at him.  "What, you didn't wonder why I never actually tried my hardest?  Ha, all the Zoids battles I've ever been in were all child's play.  All the enemies were too simple-minded and idiotic to waste my skills on."  That got them talking.

            "WHAAATT!!?"  Leena towered over Bit.  "You mean, that you've never actually tried your best??!  You mean we could have won without spending all that money on repairs??!  I am going to KILL you, Bit Cloud!!"  She charged at the 21 year old man, a huge mallet appearing out of nowhere.  BAMM!  She threw the mallet at him, and the impact created a huge dust cloud. 

However, when the dust settled, the mallet was nowhere to be seen, and a golden aura was surrounding Bit, who was reclining on the couch.

"What? I.. I missed??!"  Leena said, her eyes round as circles now.  "No, you hit.  However, my shield disintegrated your mallet."  Bit yawned, then smiled another of his trademark smiles at her.  

Leena felt her rage immediately boil down to nothing, since her heart just melted at the sight of his smile.  'Damn,' she cursed herself.  Of all weaknesses, why did she have to have Bit as hers'?

"Now, let's stop fighting, and concentrate on getting back to Mount Iselina." Korba cut into everyone's thoughts.

After that was said, the ship turned, and headed back to Mount Iselina Base.

Hangar, Mount Iselina Base

            "So, Bit."  Doc stuck up a conversation with Bit for the twentieth time.  "Are you still going to be staying with us, or going on that ship to serve with them?" 

            "I told you once, I'll tell you again.  I'll only go where my commanding officer, Commander Korba, directs me to go, and, as of now, I am staying right here."  Bit walked down the ramp, pretending not to notice the eyes of the rest of the Rebellion locked onto him: they had also heard the news from Jamie that Bit was one of the 'Guys on the ship'.

            "Oh.  Anyway," Doc continued, "your Commander, Korba I think his name was, has already agreed on a battle plan for the next few weeks.  With it, I think we will be able to destroy the invaders and reclaim this planet in the name of Zi!"

            Bit nodded, and yawned.  It had been seven hours since he had gotten on the ship.  "Oh, and one more thing: Will your ship be helping us?"  Doc asked, eyeing the ship in the far corner of the Hangar. 

            "Yes, we shall be providing assistance, although I will be on the ground in the Liger Zero.  We've modified it a little with our technology, if you don't mind."

            Right after the words got out of his mouth, Bit regretted them, since the Doc had gone into his "love Zoids all shapes and sizes" mode: his eyes were huge, and a dopey smile on his face.  "Can I see it?"  "Tomorrow, you can.  It's late, and the attacks will begin at 0900 tomorrow." 

            With that, Bit walked into his room and fell asleep.

Author's Note:  This chapter sucked, in my opinion.  There wasn't much action because the point of this was to reveal that Bit was an Ordos operative, but he was born on Zi.  Also, I was sleep deprived when I wrote this, so all suggestions are appreciated.  I _will_ be making changes at a later date, so please bear with me.

Next Time, on Red Dawn: Insurrection:   What will happen to the Rebellion in the attack?  What about the Ordos?  Will all of them survive?  Will the beginning phase of the attack succeed?  Will the Harkonnen menace be eradicated form Zi forever?  (Also:  Should I put in some B/L?  Will there even be a next chapter-  Wait, yeah, there will be, although it might take longer to get it up.)

Next time on Red Dawn: InsurrectionPrelude to War!

Please Review!

All suggestions appreciated.
