Thank you!!! I honestly didn't think it would be so popular. But here's the next chapter.
Ivory was still in the Sand Stingray. She kicked at it's mouth to try and get it open.
~ Hounder!! Where are you?!!~
She was tossed around as it fell down.
Outside, Shadow Fox was standing on the Sand Stingray.
" Get off me!! You're crushing my Stingray!!" The pilot said.
" Let her go or you're gonna be crushed with it." Brad said.
" Never!" He cried.
" Have it your way." He said.
Shadow Fox held down the head and pulled on the body.
" What are you doing?!!" The pilot cried.
" Let her go or I will break it off." He said.
" Okay!! Okay!!" He cried.
The mouth opened and Ivory ran out. Ivory ran towards Shadow Fox and got inside it's mouth again. Brad took off again. By now, Leena was there. She was blasting left and right too.
" Bit, Leena, pull out!! I've got Ivory!" Brad said.
" Oh well. But, before I go. Weasel Unit Total Assault!!" Leena cried.
Ammo flew everywhere. By the time the smoke cleared, they were gone.
When they got back, Ebony wasn't awake and they discovered Ivory had a dislocated shoulder and a dislodged kneecap from tumbling in the ZOIDs.
" Oh great. Well, then let's just put it back in place." She said.
Jamie and Brad did it at the same time.
" AAHHH!!!!" She screamed.
" Sorry kid." Brad said.
" Shut up." She said.
Bit had been by Ebony's side since they got back. He was determined to get her to like him. He was sure if he could get past her Backdraft programming, she would like him. He liked her since he first saw her. Ebony stirred in her sleep.
" Kuso Elephander." She muttered.
" Don't worry Ebony-chan, I won't let them get a hold of you." He said.
Ivory had already seen her sister and was sitting in the lounge with Brad. She had been occupying herself with aiding Hounder in his repairs.
" Ivory." Brad said.
She jumped.
" Yes?" She asked.
" What are you two gonna do now?" He asked.
" Don't know." She asked.
" Are you going back?" He asked.
" I don't want to." She said.
He looked over to her. If ever they were someone who wasn't sure about anything at all, it was her. He couldn't stand it anymore. Everyone was so dismal around here. He needed to get out and go somewhere.
He stood up and stretched.
" I'm going out." He said.
" Where?" She asked.
" Out. That's where. Why? You want to come with me?" He asked.
She looked shocked he would ask.
" I guess." She said.
He led the way to the jeep. Ivory sat next to him as he drove to the nearest town. It was still a bit dark from the rain. Ivory watched all the places go by. The car stopping got her attention and made her look up. Brad had stopped in front of a place called ` Magic X'. She knew not what magic was or what the X stood for. But she followed Brad inside.
She was nearly blinded by the lights and deafened by the loud music. But Brad seemed right at home. She tried not to let the music bother her, but it did. She didn't understand what this people were doing. They moved as if electricity was going through the floor. She was sure Ebony would like this place. She was snapped out of her gaze when someone had grabbed her and started swinging her around. She couldn't break away as too many people grabbed at her.
Just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore, someone stronger pulled her away from the grasping hands of the crowd.
" Brad?" She said looking up.
" Lost sight of you back there. I thought about hanging here, but since you don't like it, what do say we go to the street party they have outside?" He asked.
Ivory didn't know what that was, but it couldn't be worse than this. She nodded and kept firm on Brad while he led her out.
Outside was a festival of lights, music and food. It wasn't as loud as the club, but it was active. Ivory looked at all the sights and sounds. She had never seen this before. She smelled something that got her attention. She followed it to a stand.
" Hello little lady! Care for a chili dog?" The owner said.
" Chi-li dog?" She repeated.
" Which one do you want Ivory?" Brad asked.
" Huh?" She asked.
Brad bought her something called a chilidog. She wasn't sure what is was, but Brad told her to trust him and she tired. It only took her a little while to finish it. Brad laughed. In the whole time they spent there, Ivory found out she really liked food. She loved to dance too. Once music started, Brad asked her to dance with him. It wasn't hard. She didn't even know what the `Cup of Life' was. But she was having fun. She had fallen asleep on the ride back. Brad had spent most of his winnings from their last battle, but he had a great time.
When they arrived, Bit was in the garage working feverishly on Liger 0. Brad didn't want to wake Ivory so he carried her in.
" Yo Brad! Where ya been?" He asked.
" Carnival. You should'of seen this kid eat. She's so small but she eats more food than you do." He said.
" Whoa. That's a lot." He said.
" I would take her to the infirmary, but there's no where to put her." He said.
" Well, you usually sleep in the lounge. Why not,"
" Let her have your room while you sleep there? Thanks Bit. Ivory'll thank you too." He said.
" But I didn't-aw man!" He said slamming his fist down.
Liger roared when he hit him.
" Eh heh, heh, sorry there Liger. I'd do it for Ebony. I'll just be in the infirmary all night anyway." He said.
The next morning, surprisingly, Ebony was the first to wake up. She could feel someone holding her hand. She looked over and again Bit was resting next to her. His head supported by his arms, his hand holding hers. She blushed at the sight.
"* Kusottare Bit. Why'd you have to care about me so much? I don't, I can't care about you. I can only care about winning.*" She thought to herself.
