Chapter 4: Interrupted Battle

"Morning Bit," Terry said sitting in the lobby at the Blitz base.

"Hey, Terry, what are you here for?" Bit asked.

"We have a battle in twenty minutes. I just decided to come by. Is that
okay?"

"Yeah, it is great. How long have you been here?"

"An hour, Leena tried to wake you up but you didn't wake up."

"Don't tell me what I did."

"All right I won't."

"Thanks so how about we go out on a run before the battle?"

"Sure, if we have time."

"We will."

"All right."

"By the way, can I pilot your Zoid?"

"Not a chance."

"All right, okay, Let's go."

She got up and they went to their Zoids.

"So, what do you think?"

"It is beautiful."

"I know. So where shall we go?"

"I don't know, how about the woods?" Bit asked pointing out the woods near
by.

"All right will your friends mind?"

"Not as long as we're back for the battle."

"We don't have long. Wouldn't it be better if we did it after the battle?"

"Yah, good point."

"Is your brain fried?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Hehe."

"It isn't that funny, is it?"

"Yes, it is."

"Yeah, well then want to go inside until it's time?"

"Ten, minutes inside?"

"Or we could stay out here, in the sun, in a desert."

"Sounds good to me."

"It's useless, isn't it?"

"Yep."

"How about we just get ready to battle?"

"All right, if you wish."

"Need a hand up?" Bit asked as he offered his hand.

"Thank you."

She took his hand and got up. She walked to her zoid as he walked towards his and got in. They got into battle positions and waited for the judge.

"Good luck, Terry."

"Too you to, and do me a favor and don't hold back, understand?"

"Got ya, you do the same."

The judge landed.

"Battle field set up. Battle number 0992. Zoid gear confirmed. The Cloud
team versus the Blitz team. Ready.fight!"

Both Ligers waited for the other to attack.

"Bit, you can start anytime now, when ever you're ready."

"I was waiting for you."

"Okay, less talk more battle," Brian said over the COM link.

"All right, already," Bit said.

When Bit looked back the Liger 0013 was out of sight.

"Bit, behind you!" Dr. Toros screamed.

But it was to late when Bit turned around. The Liger lay on its side with
some of its armor falling off.

"Sorry for holding back, Terry said, "I didn't want to kill you."

"What!? You were holding back?" Bit screamed getting the Liger back on its
feet.

"Yep, sorry."

"I can't believe it," Bit said to himself.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Caution, caution, this area is out of limits. You are in a restricted
zone. Leave immediately," the judge said.

"Bit, we have visitors," Terry said.

"It's the BackDraft Group. What do they want now?"

"BackDraft not fond of you either?"

"Yeah, they want the liger and the Shadowfox."

"Can you help me take them down?"

"Yeah, but then I'll need the Panzer unit."

"Okay, go and get it and I'll hold them off."

Bit turned and left. The Shadowfox, Dibson, Ptreas, Liger 009, Liger X2, and the Liger 000X mobilized and helped Terry while Bit got the Panzer unit
on. By the time Bit got back the BackDraft was out of Zoids.

"What took you so long?" Terry asked, as he returned to battle.

"Damn, you're quick."

"What do you mean?"

"The transformation only took thirty seconds and their toast."

"He's right, you guys work pretty fast," Leena said.

"Not that fast," James said.

Jamie landed his zoid after the BackDraft left and everyone continued to argue. Leena and Jamie got tired of this and went back inside to see Dr.
Toros crying over the control panel.

"Dad! What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I wanted that Zoid. It's so cool and she's so pretty," Dr. Toros winded.

"Ooh, dad."
