Here's the first chapter of the sequel. May not be the best, but just read.
Beyond the Battlefield Death's Arrival
"My name is Ami Kamiya, better known as the Great Fire Cat and this year's All Class Zoid Champion. I'm not so sure what type of Zoid my Zoid is, but I call her Rapidfire. She's one of the fastest Zoids around and an ultimate-X. I was originally part of the Fire Team, with my brother Kikeru, but he was killed during a Zoid battle. After that, I went from team to team, until I ran into the Blitz Team and became a full time pilot. We soon rose in Class-S to one of the highest ranking teams. I soon entered the All Class Zoid Championships and won against Bit Cloud and Liger Zero. Now, Bit, my boyfriend, and I are traveling the planet looking for more powerful fighters who didn't want to participate in the championships. And I really hope we find some."
* * *
"So have you heard? Death has struck again," an old man says to another next to him while taking a drink in a local bar.
"Yeah. I heard this time he sent three warriors off to the hospital all in critical condition."
"What kind of Zoid does he have again?"
"He has a black Raptor. And he can use it pretty well."
"Anyone who gets in his way better watch out."
"I think we could beat a guy like that no problem." The two men hear the strange voice and look in its direction, to see a young man taking a drink as well, hiding his face from full view.
"I think so too." Another voice comes from behind.
"If you guys really think so, you two are crazy. No one can beat Death." The old man slams his drink on the table.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." The female who just spoke leans back and shows her face from being covered by the younger man, exposing red cat ears and auburn hair.
"You're.you're Fire Cat," one of the men stutter, pointing a finger.
"That must mean you're Bit Cloud," the other man points out.
"It looks like we've made quite the name for ourselves," Bit says chuckling as Ami leans on his shoulder.
"Of course. The top two warriors in all the classes. Maybe you two would be able to beat him."
"One of us could beat him," Ami says, finishing the last of her drink. The two men turn towards one another and start to gossip again. Bit looks at the clock on the wall and gets up from his seat.
"It's getting late. We better head back and check up on Liger and Rapidfire."
"Alright, I'll be back in a few. I'm just going to get another drink." He leans down and gives her a quick kiss before heading off. "Excuse me sir, but can I have another." She hands the bartender a few dollars, but he gives it back.
"Someone's already paid for you're drink," he replies smirking.
"Really? Who?"
"The man down there." She looks in the direction the man points in to see a man with shoulder length black hair. He turns around and Ami now sees the most amazing green eyes. He stands up and starts to walk over to her, taking the seat Bit had left empty.
"Thank you for the drink."
"NO thanks are necessary. Just think of it as a congratulation drink for winning the championships." Ami takes a sip of hers and thinks for a second.
"Then it seems you know who I am, but may I ask what your name is."
"It's James Southernton."
"Nice to meet you James."
"Likewise. So the guy that just left was Bit Cloud right?" He asks pointing out the door.
"Yeah. The one and only." She finishes her drink quickly and sets the empty glass down. "Well, I better get going now. I have a busy day of looking for a battle tomorrow."
"A woman should not be walking around alone at this time of night. I'll walk you home," he says standing up along with Ami.
"You don't have to do that."
"IT wouldn't be right of me as a gentleman if I didn't make sure a beautiful woman didn't get home safely."
"Alright then," she answers blushing as the two walk out.
* * *
"Thanks a lot," Ami says as she and James approach the hanger where Bit and Ami are staying with their Zoids.\
"No problem. I was wondering though."
"What?"
"I was wondering if I could battle you?"
"You want to battle me?"
"I want to see where I would match up against a champion like yourself."
"Of course. When and where?"
"How about tomorrow at noon by the edge of the mountains."
"Alright, I'll see you there." They say goodbye and James walks away. Ami walks towards the door to see Bit waiting in the doorframe.
"Ami, who was that guy?" He asks as Ami gives him a kiss on the cheek and keeps on moving.
"His name is James. He bought me a drink and walked me home. That's all." Bit starts to walk inside following Ami, wanting more information.
"What were you talking about?"
"He just wanted a Zoid battle that's all. There's nothing for you to be jealous about." She turns around and taps his nose.
* * * "So where is this battle going to happen?" Bit asks as Ami gets into Rapidfire. "By the edge of the mountains somewhere. I really should be going though. I don't want to keep him waiting."
"Alright, but be careful."
"You're talking to this year's All Class Zoid Champion here. I think I can handle things on my own."
* * * Rapidfire walks around the mountain side, looking for any sign of another Zoid. "He said the edge of the mountains, but where on the edge. Why didn't I ask last night?"
"Hello Fire Cat." She turns around and sees a black Raptor behind her.
"James is that you?"
"I'm glad you could make it," he answers smirking.
"I never pass up a good battle. That's quite an interesting Zoid you have James. I remember something about a black Raptor, but from where?"
"If you don't mind, I rather you call me by my fighting name - one who will end your mortal life - Death."
"No way! You're the guy those two old men where talking about?"
"That's right. I haven't been defeated once."
"Well I've only been defeated once, and that was by cheating, so I guess we're on the same battlefield."
"Not for long." From his sides, he fires off four capsules into the air. They each go to different corners and explode, letting off a giant black shade covering the area.
"What's going on here?" Ami asks before she's covered in darkness.
* * *
"Hey there. Here are the parts you ordered Mr. Cloud," the man says from behind the counter as he hands Bit a slip.
"Thanks a lot. We really need these parts." He looks at the slip carefully.
"May I ask where the young Fire Cat is?"
"She went off to some battle near the mountains," he says putting the slip in his pocket.
"By the edge?"
"Yeah, with this guy she met last night. I know I shouldn't be jealous, but still." He leans against the counter and rests his head on his arm.
"Then you shouldn't be here. You need to go after her." The man slams both hands on the table, startling Bit.
"What for?"
"That's where all the battles between warriors and Death go on."
"That's the warrior who has been sending people to the hospital right?"
"Yeah. And being against Fire Cat, he will surely do a lot of damage."
"Thanks." Bit turns around and starts out the door.
"Wait a minute. Take it from an expert. Death traps his opponents in a shield of darkness so his opponent doesn't know where to fire. The only way to take it down is with some heavy duty weaponry."
"Got it."
* * *
"Better turn on some lights." Ami turns on four sets of light so she can see a limited space. "No sign of him anywhere."
"Lights like those won't help." The sets of lights suddenly explode as shots are heard.
"What a coward you are. Hiding in the dark and cheating just to win a Zoid battle. Some warrior you are," Ami says as she looks around for some sign on the enemy.
"As long as I win, I'm fine. And, is it? Is the great Fire Cat scared that she will lose?"
"Not a chance. I'll beat you even if you do cheat. Now where are you?" She looks around and is shot from the back. She turns and fires, but sees no sign of a hit. She gets shot at again from the side. "Man, how can he see? If only I could see."
* * *
Liger and Bit run towards the mountains as Liger roars and tries to shake off the canon on his back. "I know Liger, the laser cannon is heavy, but we need it. I know you wouldn't want to see Ami hurt. Now where is she? Why can't I pick up a signal?" HE looks up from his counsel and sees a strange black dome. "What's that black thing? Maybe Ami's in there."
* * *
"Listen very carefully for footsteps or anything Rapidfire. He's the only other one in here that can make a noise." The two stand very still, until they hear a movement. "Gotcha!" They fire and hit the opponent, but no major damage is seen.
"You may be able to get a few shots, but that's it."
"He's right. I wouldn't know what direction to use the Strike Laser Claw in."
* * *
"I don't like the look of this. Let's get this thing down Liger." The canon on top of Liger charges and lets go a beam, smashing through the black dome. . * * *
"What was that?" Ami says as she sees a light pass her and an opening.
"I have no idea." Several more beams are fired through and nothing is left. Ami turns to see the Liger Zero standing with a laser canon on its back.
"Ami, are you okay?" Bit asks.
"I can't believe you're here."
"I thought you might need some help." He winks at her and sheds off the canon.
"How dare you interfere!" Fire Cat turns around towards the exposed Zoid.
"He was only making things even for us. Now I'll show you what the great Fire Cat is all about." She starts her charge and fires, as the Raptor is unable to escape. "And now, Strike Laser Claw!" * * * "Bye Death. It looks like I won't be seeing you for a while," Ami waves as the police push James into the near by police car.
"IT looks like I came just in the knick of time," Bit says as the cars drive away.
"You sure did. But how did you know I would need help?"
"While picking up the parts we ordered, the man told me that the mountains were where Death usually fought his opponents and that he usually trapped them. And he was pretty sure since he fought Death himself."
"I guess I owe the man then. Was he cute?"
"Hey. I was the one who came to your rescue." Bit points to himself.
"I know. Why don't we pick up the parts and leave? I'm ready to do some traveling," she says wrapping her arms around his neck
"Sounds fine with me."
Sorry for such a crappy chapter, but the rest will be great, I promise. It's just that how I'm planning the chapters, I couldn't put the first real main chapter at the beginning, so just hang on. Keep reading and reviewing. -Chibi Reli
