This is chapter one of Flying Without Wings. Sorry it's so short, but I didn't want to ruin it all. Please R&R.

Disclaimer: No I don't own zoids; if I did I'd be finishing the second season of N/C 0 instead of writing fanfics. (Wish I did though)

It all happened so suddenly, the accident, the explosion that is. The sirens blaring and whirring away like an angry bee. Bit could see everything as it happened below him as he floated high over the scene.

'Wait a sec. I'm floating!' he thought. He looked down at himself, startled for a second, then looked down at the ground. "This is impossible!" he muttered, as he tried to 'swim' down closer to the chaotic mass of confusion below him. As he got closer, he could clearly see the smoke rising from several zoids, one being his own liger zero. 'That's my liger! What happened to it?' he thought as he watched two more ambulances pull onto the scene.

He floated much lower to find Leena, Jamie, and Naomi bending over four figures lying face down on the ground, three he recognized immediately as Harry, Brad, and Leon. But the fourth was hidden among the mass of other people crowding around him. He had almost gotten a glimpse of him when the Doc, Benjamin, and (blank), Harry's loyal robots, scuttled over to the scene and once again blocked his view. He tried one final time to get a peek at the wounded warrior, but the paramedics hustled through the crowd and started to treat the other pilots.

"Leena, what happened, who's injured?" he said shakily as he tried to stand next to her. However, she walked over to the Doc as he asked the question.

"What did they say? Is he going to be ok?" she asked her father.

The Doc looked down with a blank, sad look on his face. "He didn't make it," he murmured to her.

"No," was all she could muster as she turned and burst out crying.

"Leena, what's wrong? Who was it?" Bit again asked her. But she gave no response to his question once again. Seeing she wasn't going to answer, he then floated over to Jamie.

"Brad, Leon wake up," he said prodding the two figures on the ground.

"Jamie, what the heck is going on?" Bit asked. But again he was ignored. Naomi walked over to Brad and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"That ought to wake him up," she said with a smile. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, he was up and grouchy as always.

"Why won't anyone tell me what the heck is going on around here?" Bit shouted with disgust. He then looked over to the paramedics again and saw them loading the warrior into the ambulance. He swam over like a shark to peek at the unfortunate pilot before the door closed. But he was ghastly shocked to find that; the warrior injured so greatly was in fact himself.

'No, he thought. 'This can't be happening.' He turned around furiously and again saw the zoid wreckage. He saw the smoke swirling high in the air, and the fire wrought dark horn. He saw the blade liger and shadow fox looking as if they had been through a trash compacter. He then looked at his own liger, totaled and possibly beyond repair. A tiny tear dripped from his eye, as he shouted, "No!"
