Chapter One
Leena tried to stop the tears flowing from her eyes, but they seemed as endless as her pain. She wasn't supposed to cry, she was the tough one. Always tough, perky and trigger-happy. Tough as a rock, always boastful.
She remembered when the Chainsaw Man had come after her for saying she was the best warrior ever. 'What a laugh. What a lie.' She had only been lying to herself when she had said that, she was a pathetic excuse for a warrior.
She picked up a framed photograph of the team, looking at it through her tears. She and Bit were giving each other bunny ears, Brad was sipping coffee and looking at Naomi, who was smirking and looking back at him. Doc was working on a model behind Jamie, who smiled and sweat-dropped.
'Was that all a lie too?'
She set the picture beside her, her chest tightening. The team didn't even like her; they just acted like it because she was Doc's daughter.
She remembered what Bit had said to her after the Royal Cup.
'Leena, you did really well. You helped me a lot.'
Leena felt her anger rise, and she picked up the picture, staring at Bit's grinning face.
"You lied! You all lied!"
She threw the photo against the wall, shattering the glass. As the glass fell to the floor, she remembered again the events of that morning.
*Flashback*
Leena maneuvered her Gunsniper's head, searching for the remaining enemy as Bit and Brad handled the other two.
'They said a three on three, but where's the third?'
Suddenly, she noticed a shimmer in the dry desert air. "What's that?"
She watched carefully, and noticed a shimmer again, right above four strange shaped indentations in the sand.
'A cloak? But those are illegal!'
To her horror, she saw the cloaked Zoid begin to charge a Charged Particle Cannon, aimed right at the cockpit of the Liger Zero.
"NO!"
Bit and Brad didn't even notice, too preoccupied with their fights.
Leena slammed her fist on the Wild Weasel Unit button, shooting forth every weapon she had to stop the Zoid. The missiles and bullets exploded through the Zoid, knocking it out. When the smoke cleared, she sighed in relief. Bit and Brad were fine, even if their Zoids had a few holes.
She would explain it to them, she was sure they would understand…
"What the HELL were you DOING?!"
Leena couldn't believe how furious Bit and Brad were, it was just a few holes!
"For your information, Bit Cloud, I was…"
Brad grabbed her shoulder so hard she winced, and put his face inches from hers, glaring at her furiously.
"Listen little girl, just because your daddy owns this team, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! All you do is use up ammo, eat and get in our way, so don't you dare make any excuses!" Brad pulled his face back, then stormed off.
Leena looked at Bit, hoping to explain.
"Bit, if you would just listen, I…"
She was cut off again by Bit, who sighed and looked away.
"Leena, it does seem like you do more damage to use then to our rivals. I have to agree with Brad."
Leena stared at him, stunned. No one would even listen to her! She spun around, and walked to her room with as much dignity as she could muster, before collapsing into tears on her bed.
*End Flashback*
Leena picked up one of the larger pieces of glass off the floor, and turned it in her hand, watching it shimmer.
"No one even cares."
She squeezed the piece, only slightly aware of the glass cutting into her flesh. Crimson blood flowed down her fingers, dripping onto her wood floor with a wet splat.
"Would they even care if I died?"
She used her other hand to remove the piece, letting more blood drip to the floor.
"No. They would be happier."
She held the glass, now stained red.
"I wouldn't bother Brad, or Jamie, or Dad…"
She squeezed the shard firmly, digging deep into her delicate skin, through her muscle.
"Or Bit."
Her hands were dripping with blood, her floor covered in small scarlet puddles.
"I want them to be happy."
She grabbed the shard with both hands, and pushed the sharpest point against her neck. A small drop of blood formed, then slide down her neck as tears continued to pour down her cheeks.
"Goodbye."
