Disclaimer: Okay.allow me to explain myself. I don't own Zoids. Well.I own
a few models, but.not Zoids.Anyhow, here's my fic, Shadowfox and Jadefox.
Shadowfox and Jadefox Chapter 1: The Contact
Sweat trickled down the side of Bit Cloud's face. His green eyes stung from the blowing sandstorm. If what that file that Brad's contact sent him said was true, she-the contact-was stranded in the desert; and had been for weeks. He continued on in the small jeep he was driving. Suddenly, he saw a glint of light. He drove towards it and saw what it was. A woman was laying facedown in the sand, wearing a pair of ripped up jeans and a tan blouse, armbands of leather and jade reflecting the sunlight. He picked her up, put her in the jeep, and took her back to the base. He'd found her....hopefully. And even if it weren't her....he'd have saved this girl from dying out there.
He carried her through the door and laid her on his bed. That was NOT a god idea! Lena swooped in on him in no time flat....not pleasant.
"BIT!" Lena yelled, running through the door after him. Her red hair looked like flames and her usually violet eyes looked like red beads. "You've reached an all time low, you idiot!" She walked to the bed and shook the woman. Her black hair fell out of its braid as Lena shook her. The mysterious woman opened her eyes. "Oh! Jeez, I'm so sorry!" she said apologetically. Bit stared. Mood swings appeared to be normal for the redheaded menace. The woman looked about the room with deep green eyes. She looks so familiar. He thought.
The realization slammed him in the face. This was going to be SO much fun....NOT.
Brad walked through the door. "May I ask what's causing so much noise? I was trying to..." His voice trailed off. Brad glanced at the woman sitting on the bed. "That's the contact...." She tried to stand and fell forward. Brad caught her. "Hey, take it easy! You're probably a little weak from being in the desert for so long." Brad said gently.
The woman stared up into Brad's eyes. They looked strangely like something she'd seen in a dream. Light blue, like the sky. But......what dream had she seen those beautiful eyes in? Wait....I know him! But from where? She thought.
Brad stared at her for a moment. Green eyes, long black hair, and a necklace like his. Except there was one difference that he could spot a mile away. The gem in the middle of the rope was made of jade. It all led up to one test. Brad reached back and pulled her hair back so that it only reached to her shoulders. "Dakota?" he asked, even though he was absolutely certain it was her.
"That's me....wait....oh, I remember who you are...." The woman sighed, looking relieved. "You're Brad Hunter....man, I used to have the biggest crush on you back in the academy-"Dakota shut up, looking away. She realized that she was still in his arms, but didn't really care. She looked off somewhere else, and-to everyone else-looked completely out of it. Brad stared.
"You're joking. Dakota, you're asking to get killed." Bit said, looking at the girl with slight contempt. Dakota snapped out of her little daze and stared at Bit with disbelief.
"That's no way to treat your sister, Bit Cloud. Honestly....you'd think he'd have a little respect, wouldn't you?" Dakota smiled and looked at Brad again, who smiled back. She had a point. Bit scowled at her, and Lena jumped.
"Bit has a sister?" Lena said, looking over at Brad. "How much trouble is the GIRL? And...Brad, you gonna kiss her or something?" She smirked, noting their position. Dakota was pressed close against him, her hands resting on his chest, her left gripping his shirt slightly. Brad had his arms around her waist, making it look as if he'd pulled her there. The two looked at Lena, then at themselves. They separated, Dakota blushing and Brad clearing his throat in nervousness-or at least what seemed like it.
"I can't believe your nerve....you backstab your old team and join the Backdraft Group. Then you backstab them and help us." Lena said, walking over to Dakota and examining her closely. "What're you, a secret agent or something?"
Jamie walked through the door, carrying a box of what looked like parts for a Zoid. He took one look at Dakota and smiled. "Hey there. Didn't think Bit would find you this soon, Dakota. How're you holding up?" He said, setting down the box and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I can stand up on my own, and I'm thinking walking'll work, so....I'm holding up fine." She said, smiling at the black haired boy in front of her. She'd spoken to him so many times before on the videophone. He was very nice to her. Almost like another...more pleasant....brother.
"You know, she's not THAT eminent. She isn't even a good Zoid pilot." Bit interjected, leaning against the wall. "She let down dad after all."
This must have pissed Dakota off, because she pulled Jamie's hand from her shoulder rather roughly and grabbed her brother by the front of the shirt. She slammed him into the corner and proceeded to kick his ass, Bit fighting back to keep her from hurting him too badly. The other three tried to end the fight, which resulted in Jamie being thrown into the corner and a bloody lip for Lena before Brad saw his opening. As Dakota lifted an arm to block Bit's punch, she also moved the other a smidge, readying herself to punch him. Brad took this opportunity to grab her around the waist and pull her away form her brother, who had been hit in the face, arms, and chest. His nose and lip were bleeding, and it looked likely that he'd have a black eye.or two.
Brad pinned her against another wall and grabbed her wrists, trying to avoid getting hit. She stopped when she realized someone had her, and looked at Brad. She was breathing heavily, and tears were streaming down her face. She wasn't happy. A few seconds-the kind that are so quiet they remind you of death-passed before Dakota lunged for Bit again. Brad grabbed her arms to keep her from getting away. She looked at her brother with condescension written all over her tear-streaked face. "Don't you DARE say that to me!!! How could....how could...." She yelled, her voice dropping out on her second sentence. She went weak in Brad's grip, and she would've fallen had he not been holding her.
"Jamie, could you do something about her? Get her something to drink, sit her down on the couch, and.just talk to her or something." Lena said, helping him up. Once he was on his feet, he put an arm around her and walked out with her, asking her if she was a bit calmer. Lena glanced at Bit and passed him a tissue from his desk and walked out holding her no longer bleeding lip.
He wiped the blood from his face and looked at the door. "Wonder what that was about...."
"It seems to me that you should be able to answer that really easily, Bit. Nah, actually I KNOW you're able. Explain. Now." Brad demanded, crossing his arms and looking at his teammate intently. Bit sank down on his bed.
"I really don't know." He replied, looking up at Brad.
Brad moved towards the door and leaned against the frame. "You know, it takes thirty six muscles to frown, but only four to reach out and smack someone.and I'm sure Dakota would MUCH rather be doing that."
"I'll explain, I'll explain! Just don't call out the kill hound!" Bit gasped, looking at Brad nervously. "When we were younger....mom and dad split up. Dakota wanted to stay with dad, and so did I. And for a while, that's how it was....Dakota and me would spend time with dad, learning how to pilot a Zoid. Dakota wanted that more than anything....to pilot a Zoid. But when mom found out that dad was letting her, she came and took her away from us. She was supposed to be the first girl in the family on either side to pilot a Zoid.
"It made her angrier than I ever imagined. She was forced to do all these girly things like sewing and cooking while I got to do all the things she wanted to do so badly. She considered it a letdown to dad because she wasn't able to learn until she turned 14 and ran away. That's why she was so upset." Bit explained. Brad looked around the corner and sighed.
"So you pissed her off....why?" Brad asked, leaning still on the doorframe.
"I don't know....I guess I just felt like she deserved it for deserting mom."
And that's when Brad walked out of the room and right into what would be the most unusual turn of events over the course of his membership to the Blitz Team.
