Unknown Love

~Shattered~

The Blitz Team versus The NeoBlades Team...

Battle mode 8-9-5...

READY...

FIGHT!

"Alright Zero, you know what to do!" the blond shouted in his cocky tone as the rest of Blitz Team split up in different directions; charging at their own opponents

: ~ : Jamie POV: ~ :

'So finally it starts' Jamie thought to himself. After a month without a single zoid battle, the normal black haired Jamie soared higher and higher into the crisp cerulean sky trying to find his silver streaked opponent... 'Come on you, come out, come out wherever you are...' Jamie mentally parodied to himself. After going through several barrel rolls to other aerial tricks, to make sure he wasn't being followed, the Raynos pilot decided to watch the battle unfold below him...

"Hmm...looks like Bit made it to the Black Blade Liger...and judging from those two blips, a few miles to Bit's east, Brad is going after the Lighting Skyes with some long range trouble-probably from the Ultrasaurus..." Jamie winced pulling the light green aerodactal down taking a closer glimpse of the scene below...

"And by the looks of the radar, Kayla and Leena have split up, and are almost halfway to the Ultrasaurus..." Jamie looked on pulling up a window of each warrior doing his or her part...

"Ughh...stupid headache..." Jamie mumbled rubbing his forehead "What is that..." Jamie continued talking to himself "It just came out of nowhere..."

**(Everything happens simultaneously in the next scenes)**

: ~ : Bit's POV: ~ :

"Alright Liger, you know the drill, fast and furious...and remember...we never lose..." Bit reminded his partner in orange

Schneider simply roared in agreement being in a stand still with his counter-part

"Hey there, Bit Cloud I presume?" said a window said popping up, revealing a man behind dark sunglasses. With dark navy hair spiked up, leaving a single long dangling lock running down his face, a peculiar scar stood out running down his left cheek. Shadowed in dankness...he had a look of cool death...which the blond haired pilot quickly recognized...

"No way! Wait a sec, aren't you...no it can't be!?" Bit exclaimed narrowing his pools into dangerous slits while tightening the grip on his controls...

"Yeah that's right, Cloud...is it coming back to you now...or do I have to make a little visit to my dear friend Kayla to clear things up..." the man said with a grin...

"NERO ! ! ! You Bastard!! What do ya mean friend !?" Bit shot back in a death glare "After what you tried to do to her... a person like you shouldn't even live..." Bit said in a deathly tone

"That's not the regular cocky you, and such a nasty choice words, Cloud, but how 'bout we settle this little dispute while we fight hmm...?"

"Any day with a bloody bastard like you..." replied a muttering blond shoving his controls forward to start a charge...

Bit gave it his all, as he charged at his dark opponent about three miles away...with boosters on and light aqua energy surging through his warming up his cool steel blades, a total of seven blades pointed forward...

No way...No chance...

While the other side, a black BladeLiger charged up to with two blades of its own extending out in the surge of yellow. The only difference was a burning red energy shield ending up to a sharp point...

"SEVEN BLADES ATTACK ! ! ! !" "HEAT"S BURNING END ! ! ! !"

The warrior's best moves were on the line as both zoids pounced for a mid- air collision. One in a blur of red fire, the other in blur of azure blue. Foremost blade hit head dead on with the point of the crimson shield as immeasurable power thundered across the white-hot sands. Creating a small impact crater, both gave all in one and the first attack, as both were pushing to their limits...

That was...well...until something shattered under the pressure...

The foremost blue blade shattered in gleaming dust causing Zero to serve left...luckily nicking a piece of black before landing. But then again, a touch of Zero's blade was all it took to make it at least a draw...

"Not good..." the blond mumbled before instinctively turning around to another stand off...

"Heh, not bad for a Class S novice" Nero smiled

"Why now, Nero...?" Bit said in a disgusting tone

"Why...Cloud...well it's because of YOU ! ! !" Nero shot out two- hidden rocket launchers on the sides of his zoid, firing a series of missiles to scatter sand and hopefully a chance of metal...he simply pushed forward for his oncoming onslaught...

Bit simply dodged the incoming missiles by pouncing to his right with sand still swerving around him...But before could respond, a dark shadow came closer and closer from out from the sprayed dust trying to settle...

Black claws then came out of seemingly nowhere to swipe Zero's head. Tossing the unexpected zoid back with three's slash marks on orange armor, Zero roared out in sheer pain...

"Hey judge!" Bit yelled out while Liger strived to get up "He's aiming for the cockpit! Shouldn't he be disqualified or something!"

"Come on Cloud, don't you know your battle modes..."

Deliberating...Deliberating... Battle Mode 8-9-5 permits the usage of cockpit targeting so request cannot be completed

"WHAT!? You can't be serious...?!" Bit remarked quite loudly over the intercom

"What now...the great Bit Cloud afraid of a little Blade Liger like me...?" Nero mocked with a smirk

"Shut up you sick bastard...and what did you mean me before...?"

"Well, it's fault I have this mark on my face, and it's also a reminder that you ruined my LIFE ! ! ! !" Nero dashed again spreading out his yellow blades skillfully dodging the Zero pilot's hailstorm of shots from his underside cannons

'Crap, he's to good, gotta charge in...' The both ligers were at it again, as both rushed up to do their famous moves...

With claws glittering their gold, and energy surging directly through the front paws both zoids prepared for the worst...as none dared to jump...

"STIKE LASER CLAW! ! ! ! ! !" Both warriors screamed streaking the attack perfectly into a horizontal blow...

Shock waves bursted cutting the air harder and louder than before, as sand spiraled around them...What revealed next was Bit and Nero struggling to stay in power. Bit's claw was horizontal against Nero's vertical claw...It was a case of who would be overpowered. Metal grinded against metal as silicon chips over heated, not one wanting to lose ground.

"Come Liger just a little longer..." Bit coaxed Zero still holding onto his controls still barely staying in place, while jolts of electricity streamed cutting the pilot's flesh...

"BladeLiger more power Goddammit!!!" Nero commanded unleashing another pair of boosters for added power...

After and intense moment of seconds, which seemed like years, the inevitable sounds of bending metal and caution signs blared on throughout both zoids

"Come on Bit is that all you got!" the voice screamed at the struggling blond with one eye open and with the shade of red screens downing upon him "Cause if it's not..., time to finish this..."

"What did you say!" Blond shot back putting a bit more energy than before in vain...

Immediately after that move, Nero shot out the same launchers he used before and fired out at point blank range...

No chance...No way...

Flying metal filled with explosives hit dead onto Zero as both flung back with Nero still firing his onslaught...As for Bit, the surprise caught him totally off guard leaving his Liger thrown back with missiles still hitting...landing on his side with orange metal scattered all around, parts were sparking it's own jolt of energy. Inside the cockpit, head met safety harness pretty hard, as flows crimson came trickling down the side of the blond warrior in shear pain.

With all missiles hitting directly on, and with Liger down not moving, but still not just yet with a freeze, Nero smiled at his work. Coming closer with his BladeLiger, Nero put his glowing claws on Zero's side.

"Bit Cloud..." the voice boom with authority throughout the cockpit

Bit simply looked up with one eye in pain as the emergency lights of dim red brightened the dark place around him

"Bit Cloud...I want to suffer...suffer the way I did all those years ago because today you will die, not any anyone else's hands, but by my hands. Revenge is sweet bliss and this is the perfect moment to show it..." Nero pressed down slowly with his claw crushing the Zero and Bit of life

"You lost Cloud, you lost everything because after I'm finish you, the entire Blitz team will be killed...and you know what, as long as our Ultrasaurus is up and messing with the judge's communications, your deaths' are going to be called "accidents"

"And if you think your team's gonna help you, they can't cause my team isn't fighting at their true limits. They're all just playing with your team...And so before you die, I'll give you the pleasure of watching your team get slaughtered, while I'll fire at you occasionally so you won't get back up..."

The blond merely looked up as life drained out of him...

"Denshin, warrior of speed, finish off the fox..." Nero commanded as a window on Bit's panel popped up showing the one-on-one.

**(Everything happens simultaneously in the next scenes – just a reminder)**

: ~ : Brad's POV : ~ :

The Lighting Sykes and the Shadow Fox were both playing a game of search and destroy as Brad led the cheetah-like zoid into an area of large boulders and cliffs.

"This isn't good..." the usually cool pilot mumbled now getting worried "The score is already seven to one with that Sykes winning" Brad recalled as getting shot unexpectedly in his best field of stealth and agility...and that wasn't really to his liking...

Already still in his mist of smoked screen throw off the long range threat, the Fox pilot quickly yet quietly jumped from rock to rock trying to find his opponent. Bounding throughout the endless rock sides, the scanners weren't picking up what the brunette wanted. After leaping on boulder after boulder, a final bound onto the highest cliff came to disaster. A zoid coming out of seemingly nowhere head slammed into Brad's side in the mid-air collision. Crashing onto a ledge, both slammed hard onto the rock leaving Brad with the most damage. And before he could react, the Lighting Skyes put up his two front claws to pin the Shadow Fox from the side. Lowering the Syke's head Denshin fired his top two cannons at point blank range. Two shots of two, to destroy the Vulcan Cannon and another ten shots of two for a complete system freeze. All while the Fox like zoid struggled to break free in vain. Being the "good" sport he was, he kept on firing even after the freeze.

"Sorry team..." the brunette mumbled in his pitch-black cockpit after being thrown inside his own cockpit at 50 mph "Too bad I wasn't help..." the Fox warrior said before finally blacking out into unconsciousness...

"Sora, warrior of air, finish off the Raynos..." Nero shouted putting up another window for angering Bit after the seeing the demise of Brad...

: ~ : Jamie POV: ~ :

"HOLY SH#$!! She has me on target lock ! ! !" The normal Jamie swore to his stupidity as he swung his hurting head behind him to find his opponent

"Come buddy lets break right and get the hell outta here..." the strategist worriedly banked to a hard right trying to lose the silver pterodactyl behind him...

"I can't believe that thing was under a stealth cloaking system making it invisible" Jamie recalled now banking into hard left while clutching his head in pain creating an "s" curve while throwing his zoid unexpectedly into mach three... "Stupid cloak shield..."

"That's not all my Storm Sworder has..." a girly voice filled Jamie's cockpit "Cause ya know that headache your having, well my Sworder here has been sending out sound signals to mess up with my opponent's brain signals...cute eh...?" the obviously bleached blond smiled on screen

"So that what's it was..." the grey eyed pilot winced in pain closing one eye to complete a diving barrel roll "Isn't that cheating...?" Jamie weakly said

"Nah, I like check the rule book five times and nothing 'bout using some using advanced soundwave tech" The girl about Jamie's age smiled with her charming grin "Anyway enough of this little chat - even though your cute an all, an' I have nothing against you, game over for you..."

Sora let the missiles fly as her computer system locked on to the target...Jamie being the Jamie he was, tried to escape the barrage in vain. Spiraling, diving straight up, and finally boosting to mach five, like a rocket going into space, the Raynos pilot tried all his might to dodged the explosions that came upon him...

No chance...No way...

The shock waves of detonation surrounded the light green aerodactal causing the engines to fail and the pilot inside to lose consciousness... At an altitude of 60,000 feet, a Raynos began a spiraling fall straight down into hard earth...

20,000...15,000...10,000...5,000...the hurdling object was now breaking apart and heating up... Jamie wouldn't survive if he was...Jamie...

"Hmm what the hell's that..." Seeing an object in the distance...The sapphire eyes instantly widened as she pulled the falling object in a closer view...

"J A M I E! ! ! ! ! !" Kayla screamed in the distance throwing her Quad Liger away from the immediate battle "JAMIE PULL UP Goddammit ! ! !" as +concern screamed throughout her face...

4,000...3,000...2,000...

1,000...

"! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! J A M I E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

Immediately, the once sweet Jamie shot his gray eyes to do the most fantastic recovery...Pulling out of a 300 mph dive straight down at about 900 feet...the Raynos hovered inches above the ground making its come surprise comeback... Thrusting upwards and breaking the sound barrier, the Raynos pilot spotted his prey...

"Locked, aimed, FIRE" the pilot shot out perfectly placed plasma rounds into the hull of his silvery opponent, while throwing his opponent around from the air blast...

"What in hell ! !" Sora shouted throwing her head around to find the pilot...

"I am the...WILD EAGLE...reborn once again ! !"

Kayla sighed in relief as she saw the green zoid pull back up...thinking about torturing him later for the ordeal, the auburn returned to her massive problem at hand...

"Crap how the hell did you get back up...No matter... I get you sooner or later..." the blond aerial pilot mumbled

"That's if you'll get me little lady..." the spiked up jet black haired pilot corrected

"What did you say!? You little shrimp..."

"You heard me...little lady..."

"I'm you age you fricken moron! ! !"

"Whatever..."

"Arrrr...That's it! ! ! You're going down you stupid cocky pilot..."

"Let's see ya try...little lady..."

The Wild Eagle was now at Sora's six, and was skillfully trailing the Sworder's exact flight path of banks, swerves, dives, roll, spirals and occasionally the dreaded loops... Both matching speed and skill of maneuvering Sora decided the end the fiasco...she has never been hit once since the last thirty battles or so...and whoever hit her would pay regrettably...

Making a last ditch attempt, Sora folded up her wings and turned a full 180, making for a head on duel...

"Alright you bastard...try to avoid this one..." Sora mumbled unleashing the energized black blades extending out from her wings...while launching countless missiles and bullets...at mach four...

"We'll see..." the Wild Eagle challenged aiming and firing his plasma cannons on target and making his Raynos breaking the sound barrier several times...going up to mach seven...

Both aerial zoids were flying at a head on duel as the one instant would count who would win...The Raynos with it's speed and the Storm Sworder with firepower...

The moment finally came as the Wild Eagle milliseconds before flung completely upside down trying to catch the his opponent off guard, but Sora had another idea...She saw this and countered the plan by immediately thrusting out her foot claws flying above the cocky pilot...

Both did this, as explosions from missiles surround the two in great white flash...the Raynos fired at point blank range upside, while the Sworder ripped the shreds of the light green...

The pass creating a whirlwind of damage caused both to be thrown around like rag dolls in their own cockpit. Both zoids began a familiar spiraling fall as the one-on-one looked like draw... the pair arched back with a trail black cloud as both didn't seem to respond when they started to fall straight down...

Closer and closer the twosome came to solid earth...with the Rayno's belly ripped to shreds, and the Sowrder's belly full of holesand the foot claws ripped off, the two never saw the ending that came before them...as...

none ejected...

No chance...No way...

Both knocked out, Both never felt, Both rammed into the hard earth...Two simultaneous eruptions came out as two smoke stacks trailed their decent...

The dog-fight ended in utter and complete draw as none seemed to survive...

The auburn never saw the second clash...

...

: ~ : Bit's Situation : ~ :

"Jamie..." Bit mumbled not dare looking at his window of Jamie's crash

"Wonderful fight don't cha think, Cloud..." Nero smiled

"How could not care about your own teammates..." the blond painfully announced

"How...? Because Cloud..." Nero pressed his glowing claw against the Liger side causing both the pilot and the zoid to scream in pain once again... "I love death..." Nero continued

"But didn't you love HER! ? !" the blond kept screaming from the electrical shocks inside the blood covered cockpit

"What's it to YOU!" Nero pushed harder deepening the damage on Zero "Someone like you would never know the meaning of love..."

Bit's anger rose...as did his scream in bloody pain...

"Now..., Genkai, warrior of defense, rise to defeat your adversaries" Nero shouted in his usual evil tone "Time to destroy one of the girls you like most...Cloud...whichever it is...the dear Leena Toros or the beautiful Kayla Fararra..."
