Tawanos: well I'm back. I was at a college summit. So I've learned how to
get into college hopefully. Any way I had to sleep in dorms and with
little computer access at all I had to write when I got home going over
ideas that I wrote down. Well I've been working hard to get this out, just
2 hours to write and edit I'm quite happy with it. There will finally be
some explanations to WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN GOING ON!! Not very many but
there are a few. It all will come together in the next chapter I hope.
Any way I hope you like it I really put a lot of work into it.
Disclaimer: Look I finally got the deed to Zoids. *Holds up paper that says "I oWn ZoiDz" written in crayon* heh, heh, heh.
Chapter 8- Jager
Bit had to slow down his running so that Leena could run along side him. He didn't know that Leena was straining to keep up with him. She looked over at him for a second and found that his eyes had become a more intense blue, shining almost to the point that they gave off light.
Bit was now lost in the sensation of being called. Something was nagging at his memory, but he couldn't remember. Then something broke, a barrier in his memory gave way, and he stumbled and fell, only just catching himself with his hands on the dirt. Memories flooded in, but not his memories, these were memories of another.
Leena kneeled down beside Bit, he was on his hands and knees and breathing heavily. Now blue light was coming from his eyes, casting strange shadows of his hands shadows with long sharp fingers. Liger walked up and stared at Bit, but did nothing else.
Memories of lands, people, and battles that Bit had never seen before, but recognized as friends, foes, his wife, his kids, and home. Battles with humans and other creatures on both sides. But nothing had a name.
"Bit? What's wrong?" Bit looked up at Leena, but before he could say anything another roar ripped through the woods.
This time Bit understood what the roar said as it called out to him. Come to me Liger Cloud, it said, come and meet your destiny. Bit smiled, it was the voice of a friend, a friend from his new memories, and he trusted it.
When Bit stood Leena could see that something had changed, his physical appearance was the same but the way he carried himself. For a moment she was in awe of the transformation that had happened, he now looked like how writers described the eternal hero, the one who charged into battle alone against armies and returned victorious. He was glorious. He started walking.
Bit stood alone on a hill in his memory. All around him were the fallen bodies of his enemies. He looked at his hands, they were covered in a strange blue armor as were his arms, and for that matter the rest of his body. The pieces fit perfectly, there was not a squeak as he moved, nor did the armor have any breaks between the plates for even a knife to fit through. He looked over his shoulder at a creature that hovered over the land on massive wings, but never touched the ground. Then sudden realization came to him and he opened his eyes in the real world to find himself at the edge of a lake. He called out loud, so even Leena heard.
"Spirit Jager, embodiment of speed, essence of water and air, and caretaker of my first armor, I call you now."
For a moment nothing happened, then an area of water in the middle of the lake bulged up and then exploded. An enormous scaled head rose quickly out of the water connected to the lake by a long neck. Then the body followed after the neck and head, the body was thin as were the arms and legs, but the idea of speed seemed to be ingrained into every fiber of it's being. The arms looked like they could move like lightning and pierce any target with the long sharp nails that ended each finger.
When only the tip of the tail remained in the water and the creature's climb in the air began to slow, leathery wings opened from it's back. The air seemed to gather under the wings and lift them into the air. Then the tail lifted out of the water and the largest sapphire ever seen was wrapped in it. The head of the creature turned down and looked at the man and the leopard standing on the shore, Leena had stopped at the edge of the forest when she saw where Bit was headed.
The magnificent creature that was now gliding towards Bit mesmerized Leena. Then she remembered what these creatures were called, Azure Serpent. Otherwise known as the Dragons for water and air, these were immensely powerful magical creatures that lived only in the air and water, never touching land there once were many such creatures of magic, but they were all but gone now.
The Serpent landed in the shallows of the lake near Bit, its tail brought the sapphire to its side and let it down gently in the water near it. It craned its head till it was eye to eye with Bit. Bit smiled and stepped into the water. The head came right in front of Bit. To Leena's surprise Bit reached out and stroked the head of the Serpent.
"Leena," he called over his shoulder. "You can come out. This is Jager and he is and old friend."
