I'm not dead! I just decided to take a break a little. So this is the next
chapter. Evrything is going to start winding down from here. Maybe 3 more
chapters to this. Enjoy!
So the battle was planned for the synthetic humans: Ebony and Ivory. A 0982 battle. Same number of ZOIDs on both sides.
Liger Zero vs. Berserk Fury
Shadow Fox vs. Elephander II
" Bit, are you just completely a moron?!!" Leena yelled when she heard.
" Actually, it was my idea." Brad said.
" What?!" She said.
" I'm going to war with him. There's no other way without innocent people getting hurt. You're not involved so don't worry." He said.
" Don't worry?! You're going to get yourselves killed!" Jamie said.
" We will not. You really think we would go right into Backdraft knowing that we wouldn't stand a chance?" Bit asked.
" Yes!" All three said.
" You're right. That's exactly what we're doing!" Both said going to the garage.
They locked the door behind them to keep the others from following them. Brad barricaded the door for good measure.
" Well, that takes care of them. All we have to do now is a little training." Bit said.
" Hmp. You train. I'm going to do some research." Brad said.
" Research?" He asked.
" I'm going to find out everything I can about Vega and this Sanders and their ZOIDs. Just going into a free-for-all won't give us the victory. If we're going to get our girls back, then we're going to have to know what we're doing and what we're dealing with. I'd like to know what our odds are." He said walking towards the doorway.
" Why?" He asked.
"Bigger bragging rights when we've beaten them." He said.

Ivory woke up in a bedroom. She couldn't remember anything. Somehow it made her very sad. She missed somebody greatly.
When she finally found the light switch, she could see what she was dressed in. She had on a white dress. It was elegant enough for a wedding dress. The whole room was in white lace and silk. It was like that of a bridal room.
" What's going on?" She asked.
" Ivory?"
" Ebony!!" She cried.
She could see her sister in the same dress. She ran over and hugged her. At least she remembered her. She was glad for that.
" Do you remember where we are?" Ivory asked.
The smile faded on her sister's face.
" No. But Vega says this is home. He says we live here." She said.
" We do?" She asked.
" I guess so. But if this is home, why do it feel like a prison?" She asked.
Before Ivory could answer her sister, the door opened behind her.
" I see you're awake Ivory." Sanders said.
She was taken by surprise as he grabbed her by her waist and pressed his mouth hard against hers. Ivory didn't fight him. She didn't think it was wrong, by it felt wrong anyway. She thought she was supposed to care about Sanders, but she didn't. She felt like she should be kissing someone else like this.
" I like that. It's good to know that there's more to come on our honeymoon." He said.
" …..Um…sure." She said.
" Ebony, Vega was wondering where you went. You're not being a very good fiancée." He said.
" No. I suppose I'm not. Where is he?" She asked.
" In the garage." He said.
Ebony nodded and walked out of the door. She was going down the hallway when she bumped into a blond pilot.
" Itai!" She said.
" You miserable-Gomen nasai Ebony-san!" He said.
He helped her up. She looked up at him. She got a cold rush of memories from his bright blond hair.
[Flashback]
The sun was just setting as the last of the Blitz team went out to celebrate their fantastic win over the Lightning Team. Ebony had decided to stay on the Hovercargo and fell sleep in the garage. Unknown to her, Bit had stayed too. He was planning something special for them.
When she woke up, she found a note in her hand.
Dear Ebony,
I haven't had any time to you for a while. So this is especially for you. I hope you enjoy it as much I did making it up for you. So follow the trail and I promise you'll have a good time.
Bit
" Bit has a surprise for me? Wonder what it is?" She thought aloud.
She walked out in the hallway. A bunch of rose petals led from the door down the hallway. Curious, Ebony walked down the corridor following the trail. It stopped near the kitchen. She poked her head in. There was the table set for two. The lights were down and there were candles lit. Roses were on the table and soft music was playing.
" Bit?" She said coming in.
Arms slipped around her waist and pulled her to a warm body.
" Bit?" She said turning.
" Hi Ebony." He said smiling.
" What is all this?" She asked.
" This is your surprise. I wanted to do something special for you." He said.
" Why?" She asked.
" You know me, I don't need a reason to do something." He said.
After the food, they went to dance in the lounge. Ebony rested against Bit. She was glad she had chosen to stay with him. She was happy. She blushed a little. She didn't think she could get any happier when she crushed her opponents, but she was on cloud nine now.
[Flashforward]
Ebony gasped when someone put his or her hand on her shoulder.
" Ebony-chan, what are you doing out here?" Vega asked.
" Uh….I was looking for you…..Sanders said you were looking for me." She said.
" Yes. C'mon, we're going to get ready for a fight." He said taking her hand.
****************
Bit and Brad sat on the top of their ZOID's heads right above their designated battlefield. They were waiting. They wanted to fight and they wanted to fight now. They wanted their women back.
" What are you going to do when you get Ivory back?" Bit asked.
" I don't know. Maybe I'll take her out to eat. Maybe to the beach for a real vacation." Brad said leaning back.
" What do you mean, you've had a real vacation at the beach before." He said.
" I was almost landed on and I was groped by Harry Champ." He said narrowing his eyes at him for bringing it up.
" Oh, yeah, there's that." Bit said rubbing his neck sheepishly.
" What are you going to do?" He asked.
" Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll get married!" He said cheery.
Brad fell over on his ZOID and groaned.
