Part 12
(Bit)
A few questions went threw my mind. Should I tell her? Did I do the right thing stopping her from going after Nakuru? Should I have told her when she told us that she was also a Kerodayvanian? If I tell her that I was holding out on her, is she going to kill me? "Hey Bit?" I looked up from my thoughts to see Leon coming into the hanger where I leaned up against the wall facing Ligar. "Yeah?" I asked absently. "Do you think we did the right thing? I mean, she's been searching for over one thousand years. I feel terrible now that we stopped her." He kept glancing in the direction of Sam's room. That settled my questions for me. I walked straight to her room and gently knocked on her door. "What do you want?" She snapped as she cracked her door open slightly. "You are going to hate me for not telling you this earlier but," I sighed trying to find how to say this. "You aren't the only Kerodayvanian with your normal mind. I'm one too." "I'm in no mood for jokes, Bit." She scowled at me. "I'm not joking." "Yeah, right sure I don't believe you." "Samantha Elizabeth Korin, I know for fact that your brother Nathan Korin is still alive. I even know who he is." "Bit, leave me alone. I can't take anymore pain." She shut her door. Angry, I opened the door slightly before she could lock it and said quickly, "Brad is your brother. I was his best friend back home. I remember that you would never talk to me when I was over at your house. I grew up with your brother. My real name is Brett Irvine Tortel." Sam gave me a cold look. "I don't believe you. Brett was on Kerodayvania when Cameron made it explode." With that she didn't shut her door, she slammed it. Now was not a good time to talk to her. "You are such an amateur." Leon had obviously been listening in on our conversation from farther down the hall. "I am not!" I growled back at him, "an amateur at what?" "You have know idea on when to talk to a girl when they're upset." "And I suppose you're an expert." Leon and I fought with each other as we walked to the kitchen.
*Later that Day* "Sam will you please let me talk to you." I stood outside her door with my head resting against the wall. "I wasn't lying earlier. I swear, if I lie you can kill me anyway you like." "Go away, Bit." Came the muffled reply. "I'll prove that I am Brett. I'll prove it anyway you like." I waited a few moments for a reply and instead her door opened. "Okay, if you're Brett, I'm not saying you are, you'll be able to form any kind of weapon out of thin air and then turn it into something. Only your family can." I hesitated for a moment. "I thought so." Sam muttered and turned to leave. Without any further thought I lifted my hands and closed my eyes. A small pistol formed and dropped to the ground. Sam's mouth dropped open as I twisted the metal to do my bidding and turned the gun into dust. Sam just stared her eyes and mouth wide open. "You IDIOT! I should kill you right now!" She yelled at me. I had a feeling this was a bad idea. Well, I'm dead. I swallowed visibly. "Sam calm down. Please, I have no death wish." "No death wish?! You just signed your death warrant!" She advanced on me her eyes where like flames that wanted to burn my soul. "I guess now is a good time to run." I turned and made a dead sprint down the hallway. "Damn you Brett! Get back here!" "Not when you're in a rage. I know what damage that temper of yours can cause." "I don't give a damn! You're the one that's asking for it!" I had reached the hanger and climbed into the Ligar. "Come on Ligar, we got to get out of here. She's gonna kill me." I tried to get the Ligar to move but he wouldn't budge. "Come on Ligar. Don't do this to me." "He's not going to go anywhere." I looked down and saw Sam smiling evilly. "What did you do to him?" I asked out raged. "I didn't do anything. He's just not going anywhere." She shook her head at me. "You're so dense. I can create organoid systems, remember?" "Yeah, your point is." "The Ligar Zero is the first Zoid I belt that has the organoid system. He won't run from me. You should have gone after someone else's Zoid." I rubbed my eyes; "I'm a dead man, aren't I?" I asked Sam who hadn't moved. "No, I guess not. I'm not going to kill my own kind." "Good, I'm coming down." When I was on the floor again Sam gripped my wrist and twisted it hard. I heard a sickening crack. "How many others are still alive?" She asked. "All I know of is Killian McBride. There could be more but he's all I can sense." I managed to say as she twisted my wrist. "Killian McBride? You mean to tell me that the one that I'm betrothed to might be alive? Well, who is he or am I going to have to hurt you really bad?" She twisted harder. "Yes, the one you're betrothed to is alive. Leon, is Killian McBride." I gasped. She let go and I cradled my broken wrist. "That figures. I go through about every Zoid Pilot's file and find nothing that might indicate that someone else is a Kerodayvanian but not my own teams. I am such an idiot. I looked over the simplest solution because I thought this would be really hard to figure. Am I ever going to learn to go for the simpler solution?" "Isn't that just the kick in the ass?" I asked her. "Shut up Brett. I'm not even going to explain who he is this time. I'm just going to give him back his normal mind." She thought for a moment. "Okay Brett, here's the deal, I'll heal your wrist if you'll bring Leon to my room so I can give him back his real mind, deal?" "Deal," I said. "Alright, come on." I followed her back to her room. As we walked she asked me, "how can Leon be Killian? I mean, he has a human family." We had reached her room and she tossed me a bottle filled with a reddish liquid. Drinking it I felt a jarring pain in my wrist. I winced but finished the potion. I looked down at my wrist and sure enough it was back to normal with no more pain. "You're guess is as good as mine." I replied and went looking for Leon. It didn't take long to find him. He was up on his Blade Ligar giving it a good polish. "Hey Leon," I yelled. "Hey Bit, what's up?" He called back. "Sam wants to see ya about something. She's in her room." He shrugged his shoulders and came down. I followed him into Sam's room. She had made the door to her room the door to her lab. After Leon and I walked in, the door shut. He yelped and turned. I gripped his shoulders and turned him around. Sam sat on a chair in the middle of the dimly lit room. She turned, her face partially hidden in the shadows, giving her an eerie look. She held up a small syringe. "It's time you remembered who you really are." She said softly almost evilly. "What's going on, Bit? Is this some kind of joke?" Leon asked shakily. "This is no joke, young McBride. You will soon know what I mean." Sam stepped forward with her head bent and keeping her face partially hidden by shadows. This is great, just like out of some type of horror movie. I thought as I felt Leon start to shake. Harder and harder he shook as Sam slowly came closer. He started to try and pull away as Sam lifted the syringe. "Hold still Killian, this won't hurt too much." Sam gripped his arm and stuck the needle she held into him. Leon jumped slightly and then fainted. "Give him a few moments and he'll wake up. Go ahead and lay him down there and then go get Doc. and the others." I did as I was bidden and soon returned with the others. Leon was still unconscious. "Sam, what's going on and why is my son asleep?" Doc. asked. "Doc. I hate to break it to ya but I know that Leon is adopted or something." She said. "Sam, I think you don't have your head screwed on tight or something. Leon isn't adopted, is he?" Leana asked as she looked at her father. "H-how did you know that?" He asked shakily ignoring Leana's question. "He's adopted?" Leana started to tremble and then started to rock back and forth. I stepped behind her and gripped her shoulders right when she fainted. "Doc. he's not human. He's like Naomi, Brad and me. I'd like to know how you came about having him for your son." Sam stated. "We better wait for Leana to wake up," he said. "That's easy enough. Here Brett. Let her get a good smell of this." Sam tossed me a small vile filled with some type of crystals. "What is it?" I asked as I uncorked the vile. "It's a mixture of plants that is guaranteed to wake the dead. Trust me, it's really strong." "No kidding." I coughed as the smell came to my nose. I put it under Leana's and sure enough she sneezed once, twice, thrice and opened her eyes. "Please tell me I was dreaming." She whispered. "I'm sorry, Leana but Leon is adopted. Your mother was coming back from town one day when she came across this little boy just lying in the middle of the road. She brought him home. I wasn't very sure about this but your mother had already fallen in love with your brother. Well, you know how little kids are. They kind of grow on you. He was just a little boy. We had no idea where he came from. All we cared about was taking care of him. I'm sorry Leana." Doc. looked at the floor. "Dad? Leon's not human?" "I'm sorry Leana, but he isn't." She took a ragged breath. "Is there anything else that I don't know?" "He's betrothed." I said. "To who?" Doc. asked. I pointed over at Sam. Doc. looked at her for a moment. "Dang, he's lucky." He murmured. Sam, Leana, Jamie, (who had kept his mouth shut the entire time) and I cocked an eyebrow questioningly. A moan from over in Leon's direction drew our attention to him. He stirred a little and then opened his eyes. "Where am I?" he asked quietly. Sam got up and went over to him. "Shhh. Everything's all right." she crooned as she stroked his hair. She kept murmuring softly to Killian as I looked at Leana, Jamie and Doc. "I'm sorry," I said quietly. "So am I." Doc said as he watched Sam and Killian. "He fell back asleep. He'll slowly and I mean slowly sink into his normal mind. He'll remember some of the more important stuff. Well, it'll be important to him." We looked up to see Sam come back and sit down next to Doc. "Well, I think it's about time I got dinner going." Jamie said as he stood up and left. "I'm gonna take a shower." Leana stated as she too left Sam's lab. "I'll just leave you here." Doc. obviously knew that there was no point in staying. After they had left Sam turned to me. "Do you remember anything about the people back home?" She asked. "I remember that you were shy and always wanted to be like your older brother and dad. You loathed your cousin and always told your brother that and I quote, 'is a rotten no good spoiled brat that doesn't deserve to succeed the thrown,' unquote. You two would always get into fights-" "I can remember my family but what about everyone else there? What about the McBrides, what did Killian look like and why in the heck did you dye your hair?" She interrupted. "I dyed my hair because dark blue isn't that common a color here." I explained. "As for the McBrides, I only meet Killian. He was about five feet and two inches tall and had the potential to grow well over six feet with short ear length raven wing black hair and, if I remember correctly, ice blue eyes like the ones your brother has right now. He was much like you. Always wanted to follow in the footsteps of somebody. He wanted to follow his older sister and become the universes greatest scryer.
(A/N: I'm running out of ideas with using Bit's/Brett's POV so I'll change to Sam's. Thank you and R&R)
It was later that very same day that I had revived Killian's mind. I felt a little strange knowing that probably, sometime soon, he and I would be married. I felt as if I hadn't met him until now. I had just spent the last few months with him and his adoptive family but now, we didn't talk much. I was left to my thoughts and he was left to his. Life was strange. One day you're talking as if you had known them all your life then you're told you're to marry them and all of a sudden you just don't talk. I sat in the common room with my mind buzzing with questions. The main ones centered around finding Nathan and Nakuru. Dawson sat at my feet and occasionally rubbed against my shin as if to offer comfort. Brontie was still sniffing around the room like he had been for the past three hours. I lifted the bracelet that I had found in the river. I can finish the device, I can recreate home and go live there and never have to worry about another thing and just let Nate and Nakuru live out their lives here peacefully. They'll never have to know that they're betrothed. I don't want to ruin their relationship by telling them like it did me and Killian but I'd miss my brother so much. I don't know what to do. Hanging my head I kept trying to make up my mind. "Hey Sam." I looked up to see Killian sit down on the couch across from me. Brontie stopped sniffing around the room and sat by Killian's feet. "Hi." I said wondering if he wanted to talk to me about something. We started to talk about some of the most boring things. You know the weather, how the team was doing and the like. At least we're talking. I thought to myself. "Sam, do you want to start looking for you're brother and Nakuru?" Doc's voice asked over the intercom. I looked at the floor trying to make a quick decision that would most likely change the lives of two people. I thought and thought. It felt like hours to me but really it was only about ten seconds before I answered. "Yes. I do believe that we should." I sighed slightly and left to my room to retrieve the one piece of equipment that I would need.
