What this an update you see!? Yeah probably, all in thanks to my Spring
Break *smiles*
Oh yeah, if you didn't know, this is probably the hardest chap I wrote because choosing who lived and who died is hell hard...plus it had to fit with the story...
-Note Doc has some OOC in his character in the chap but it's only because of the trauma he's faced...I mean, it looks like he lost his entire team... he's a bit harsh when explaining the but oh well...
Disclaimer: Owning Zoids? HA! Like that's gonna ever happen...cause if I did, I would make Harry die in a tortuous death...oh yeah but I do own Kayla and her Quad Liger...

Unknown Love
~ Aftermath ~
An aging man slumped down on his knees as he watched the battle unfold right before his very eyes. He suddenly felt as if his youth drain out his body as he saw his very own team dissolve right in front of him. The rich chestnut hair began show signs of white while silent tears of helplessness rolled...
He was no longer the two-year old genius he once was...but a mere shell his existence...
If anyone of them died...
He would take the blame...
He should have never accepted...
Hearing the judge's victory call didn't make him flinch with any sign of happiness, as the team leader for once didn't care about money ...
What's the point of money without a family to live for...
Zoids could be repaired, money comes and goes, but a life can never return...
: ~ : : ~ :
Opening her eyes slowly, soft violet eyes began the slow process of focusing. With eyes begging to be shut and her body racking in agony, the redhead began blurring in and out of consciousness...
Somehow overcoming the pain, the realization of her environment became clear... a dark desolate cockpit... sideways with her restraints holding her from falling ...
...
'Ughhh...the hell...happened...' Leena ached in pain touching her head... feeling a running liquid on her cheek, a squint to her delicate hands revealed a crimson smear...
Then it hit her...the battle...the Ultrasaurus...
"K-Kayla...B-Bit" the bleeding redhead stuttered touching for the com-link...
Nothing happened...
'No power...' the pilot sighed in despair
Painfully looking for the emergency eject handle to her left side, she finally noticed that her arm wouldn't respond... trying to make it move only made it worse...
'Dammit...my arm's broken...'
Reaching out with her other right hand, an agonizing pain throbbed throughout her arm as she gave all her remaining strength to activate the lever. With the lever released, the cockpit door shot open, while her restraints unhooked... instantly dropping out the battered warrior...
Falling down at least fifteen feet, the pilot made no attempt to recover...
Impact came on her left shoulder as all her weight was thrown into her already broken arm and finally slamming onto her lower back...
No sound was made from the dying warrior as she released nothing but tears of pure pain...
Looking directly at the dark clouded sky, she laid down in the rough white sand as her strength drained from her body. Looking over to her right, her beloved zoid came into view...
Deep gashes, circuits smothering the area, limbs missing, and the worse part, .... her Wild Weasel Unit gone to straight to hell and back...
beyond repair, beyond despair...
On top of that, several boulders covered her pride and joy, threatening to crush her work of beauty... while effectively concealing it from aerial view...
'Come on Leena... get up... you can do this...'
Dragging her tattered and bleeding body to a standing position, her left side obviously dropped uneven with her right. Walking a few steps so she could be in plain view, her knees began to give way to gravity. As agony was overcoming her willpower, she began to lose strength at a very rapid pace ...eyes blurred into darkness and a hurtful blackout claimed her mind...
Abruptly as she fell out, landing on her knees and down with the rest of body caused more pain to her already numb body...
: ~ : The next day : ~ :
Yesterday the fierce battle of the century ensued between the undefeated NeoBlades Team against the equally famous Blitz Team. Wiping out the entire NeoBlades Team, the Blitz Team eventually won with an unknown attack of immeasurable size. Creating a creator about fifty miles wide, the shock-wave and light was felt throughout the planet. Two members of the Blitz Team are reported missing, while the entire NeoBlades Team are presumably dead.
Known for their infamous status of breaking the rules, the ZBC announced that the NeoBlades Team headed by Nero Lionheart, used a radar- jamming device to alter the judge's link to the main satellite. This caused judges not to report any violations of any rules. The Blitz Team will be given two weeks of postponed battles and no accusation of breaking the killing rule; since it was all in "self-defense."
In the other news the entire of New Hope City has been burnt down for the third time...
-
Leaning back deeper into the overstuffed couch in the hospital's waiting room, the weary Doc closed his tired eyes trying to study the situation over and over again...
-
-Doc's Thoughts... -
"Yesterday..." the Doc sighed
'Yesterday, the battle started out with Bit with a stand-off.. The two fought until Bit was on the brink of having a system freeze. Then before he could finish off Bit, Nero suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. Bit definitely did or knew something I don't know about...
During that time, Brad wasn't doing to well with his opponent too. The Hover Cargo's scanners couldn't see through the special smoke screen that Brad let out, but from what the ZBC said, Brad got at least ten to twenty shots exposing the internal zoid core. Two of the hits were into the cockpit. I still don't know if he's alive...
Then Oscar's son, Jamie, would always be diving to the ground like he always would do, letting the Wild Eagle kick in. But after head-to-head clash, both pilots slammed into the earth. The Wild Eagle didn't pull up like he always did. There were no ejections or parachutes. The ZBC didn't really confirm or tell me anything on the Jamie's situation...
Shortly after, Leena and Kayla found out that the Ultrasaurus was able lift itself into the air. It crossed over a canyon so the Gun Sniper and Quad Liger couldn't reach it. Next the pilot Genkai, took out four massive plasma cannons decimated the surrounding area. If it weren't for Kayla's energy shield both would have been instantly...
...killed...
-
: ~ : Flashback : ~ :
-Note- This isn't part of Doc's memory, this what actually happened...
"SHIT! We're not gonna make it ! !"
"Leena! Get behind that boulder and let me be in front...I'll cover you with my shield... and clamp down with your sniping foot-gear!"
"What about you ?! You don't any..."
"Just do as I SAY ! !"
Both instantly followed the plan as every second ticked by. Putting up the shield to maximum power...both pilots awaited death...as they could do nothing more but hope a quick death...
: ~ : End : ~ :
After that attack, I desperately tried to search trough the rubble with the cameras, but before I could, another shot from the Ultrasaurus fired. I still don't know how anyone could have survived. The ZBC later gave me information that my daughter was in this hospital, but still Kayla's body or zoid couldn't found.
Soon afterwards, the Liger Zero began acting quite strangely. It began to glow white and regenerate its battle scars. I tried to contact Bit, but before I was cut off I saw a single frame. Bit, wounded and the entire cockpit strewn with blood. Although that wasn't the main problem, whoever it was inside that cockpit, had bright red spiky hair like the color of the surrounding blood while his eyes were also same in color surrounded by dark yellow pupils. I don't exactly who that was but it definitely looked liked Bit...
Afterwards, the Lighting Skyes came to fight off the glowing Liger Zero. Using perfect boxing-in technique, Zero quickly finished off the Sykes. Then when the Ultrasaurus fired it's four guns for the third time, Zero completed two Strike Laser Claws in mid-air to send what seemed into be the most powerful attack every seen. Shortly after, it was zoid-on-zoid duel dishing out every trick imaginable...
Then with the final attack, the Liger unleashed an indescribable amount of energy to create a creator fifty miles wide to cause the ZBC swarm in and do a complete lock down ...
-
"Sir?...Umm...sir?...wake up..."
"Umm...what?...oh sorry about that...I was just deep in thought..." the Doc forced a small smile to the feminine doctor in her mid twenties...
"That's all right... Anyway, I'm Dr. Teila, and you are the father of Leena Toros am I correct...?"
"Yeah, that's me, but how's my daughter, is she gonna make it, how 'bout conscious, does she need anything, can I see her, and what the hell is her condition?!"
"Umm...yes, no, no, yes...and her condition..." lifts paper on her clipboard "Well from the tests we've given her she still in a life-or- death coma by a severe concussion,... several broken bones throughout her body,... a severe long cut along her left cheek that'll probably leave a noticeable scar... other than that, she'll be just fine...
"Well, you probably want to see her like every worried parent on Zi, so if you'll go up on the seventh floor, she'll be in the third door to your right, room 709..." she said trying to cheer the visitor
"Oh and while your up there, one visitor at a time, and no loud noises okay..."
"Sure and thanks a lot..."
"It's my job, and besides it's from those death machines we get at least four or five patients a week...if you ask me, those things should be banned...Hey!"
"He's gone" the young doctor sighed
: ~ : : ~ :
Once again violet eyes flared up with consciousness revealing a bare white ceiling... Looking into her surroundings, a worried parent lay against the wall head down. Quickly realizing the hospital scene before her eyes, questions immediately appearing...
Trying the get up, a sharp piercing pain shot throughout her body. Looking down to her left, a white cast covered her numb arm... Reaching over with her right hand, a brush of her left cheek came with the feeling of bandages... Glancing down, bandages also encase her torso...
'What else can go wrong...'
"Umm...d-dad..." she stuttered softly not realizing how or why her voice was so raspy...
"Hey dad..." she said loudly followed by a weak cough
"Hmm...What...? Leena...? Oh thank heavens you awake!" the Doc beamed immediately coming closer resisting a painful hug
"Are you okay, Leena? Is there anything I can get you?" he said holding both of her shoulders in a questioning look..
"Yeah, I fine dad no need to worry about me..."
"Wait here, I'll go get a doctor to check you up..."
"Hey dad...?" the Doc instantly stopped "Umm...where's the rest of the team?" she asked innocently...
Emotionless and unmoving he became...The one question dreaded anyone would ever ask... It's not like he wasn't prepared... it just hurt thinking about it. Taking a deep breath, a serious and emotionless expression came on as he turned back into the room...
The only time she ever saw the his face like this was when there was deep trouble...like the time her mother died...
Leaning out the open window the man stared into the free open air...not daring to even look at his own daughter...
-
-
-
-
-
"Three days ago... Three days ago is when the entire Blitz Team last fought... I should have never accepted..." he sighed into the oncoming wind...
"What happened, dad? Didn't everyone make it?"
-
-
Looking down he answered
-
-
"No..." he said calmly yet still with no emotion...
-
-
-
-
Silence followed like the wind drowning the room... Licking his lips and dropping his head, the man continued
-
-
"The Shadow Fox took in thirty hits... ten for the freeze ...another twenty even after he's been knocked out... two of them went into the cockpit..."
"Brad died..." he solemnly said looking back at his daughter who looked down not to meet his gaze... "His body was found with two metal poles through his torso, the cockpit was barely holding him, while glass and blood surrounded his body..."
-
"He died slow death..."
-
A darkening silence again enveloped the bright sunny room as the truth hurt like nothing before...
-
-
-
-
Brad was there from the beginning of the Blitz Team... always being the cool, calm, money-wanting mercenary till the end...
Leena's second brother, Naomi's lover...
He didn't deserve it...
-
-
-
"Kayla, our newest warrior, survive like you did... because of her energy shield... she's probably in better condition than you are physically... but mentally she torn apart..." Doc said looking back outside...
"Why..." Leena said softy
"It's because of Jamie..."
: ~ : : ~ :
The auburn feared better than her partner, as she received a large bleeding gash on her right side along with other bruises and cuts. Walking painfully holding her side to numb out the pain and closing one sapphire eye tightly, she went to closet crash site...
'Damn, my hair's all messed up, my body's killing me, my zoid's up for scrap, and finally my mind's telling me to go to another crash site..." she put a weak smile to her insanity...
Walking weakly for what seemed like and eternity, the warrior quickly realized the pieces of scrap lying all about...
'Green...no light green...looks like an some kind of aerial zoid...'
O__o
...
Her eyes shot open thinking of only one person...
"Jamie ! ! !" she yelled out
"Jamie !" she cried out in a weaker tone dropping down to her knees...
"...no...Jamie..." the once powerful pilot began tearing out...
"I-I never got to tell...him..."
-
-
-
-
-
"Ughhh..."
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Jamie!?!?" Kayla looked up running up in pain of the sound...
! ! JAMIE ! ! she yelled hugging and sobbing on his torn body
"Hey, nice to see you too..." he coughed up large amount of blood to the side
"I- thought I lost you...before could say...I could say..." she kept sobbing
"I love you..."
Softening his face, the black haired warrior replied words she hoped to hear...
"I love you too..."
Kissing her forehead the warrior dropped his head back in pain...
Looking up into the orbs of gray, while he did the same into the orbs of blue...the gap closed between the lips...
Her soft lips brushed the lips of the one she truly loved...
Then it happened...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Pulling away he said a final farewell...
"Thank you, for teaching me the pleasures of love... I guess this is why I'm still alive..."
"...Jamie...no..."
"Don't cry, Kay... you look better with a smile..." the tactician said wiping off a tear with a spare tattered hand...
Grabbing his hand she gazed back no knowing what else to do...
-
"No...Don't leave me...."
-
Smiling weakly his unfocused gray orbs slowly began for the final close...
"I'm sorry..."
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! J A M I E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
She began the pound the ground furiously as she cried over his now dead corpse...
A last kiss is all she wanted...
...just one more...
... and just one last time...
"Jamie, you can't be dead...
for the first time I found love...
and now you leave my side...
be with me now forever...
Their lips touched one more time...
-
A passionate kiss to a fallen angel...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
A harsh gasp was heard leaving the dead lips...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
: ~ : : ~ :
"His body was found next to Kayla's... no one knows how Jamie got out of his Raynos before it crash landed head-on. Some say his body flew out from the crash... others say he automatically ejected milliseconds right before the body the Raynos crushed the cockpit... I personally think the Wild Eagle spirit had to do something with it...
-
"Did he die...?"
-
-
-
"I don't know...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
he's in a coma... five different doctors think he's gonna die..."
-
Tears kept their path her face as she mourned for her comrade with the wind blowing in the small room at a faster rate...
-
"Kayla, who woke up two days ago, and has been by his side ever since... she's destroyed mentally..."
"I think I should call doctor to check you up now..." he said weakly going for the door...
"Dad...what about Bit...?"
He stopped halfway to door... almost scared of the question that intruded his mind. He tried running away before it came up... but it was no use... it was inevitable question that killed him to say it for Kayla and now it was time to say again...
To his daughter...
Bit Cloud... no... The great Bit Cloud, pilot of the Ultimate X... immortal on battlefield... now gone...
Putting his head down covered by his hand, he asked...
"You love him don't you..." he asked sounding like a statement than more of a question... finally making eye contact...
-
-
-
Silence kept pursuing the room...
-
-
-
-
Looking down, she admitted it with a simple weak yes...
Swiping his hand through his hair and putting a tightly clenched fist in front on his lips... he began with a deep sigh...
-
-
-
-
"I have the tapes back from the ZBC... you can see the battle for yourself... but what happened to Bit is basically a mystery. After his final attack... what he called "Final Flash"... his Liger regenerated to in perfect condition... no scratches or dents whatsoever...
"Dad, what about Bit..." Leena interrupted
-
It pained him to say it...
-
"His body was never found... his blood and sweat covered the cockpit... and for some reason it's still warm... not drying up like regular blood... but the camera's didn't catch anything or anyone coming out... the ZBC is announcing today that he's dead..."
"I'm sorry, Leena..."
-
-
-
-
"Bit Cloud is dead... "
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

And that my friends...is Chapter 19... so how was it? Uhhh... sad? Uhh... I can't sentimental scenes for shit... Yeah probably... I made a comment on New Hope City burning down for the third time... it was just some bad humor from "Past Best Forgotten" by Kitai Matsuru – it's a great fic...
Anywho, the next chapter deals with a Bit's past with Kayla and what the hell was Bit's original plan to 'get' Leena... After that the epilogue...I know...I know lied about the next chap being the epilogue...but who cares...
Oh and Daisy-Chan*Mistress of Evil...if you think this is a cliffhanger the next one of gonna be a hell lotworse... Gwhahahahahahahaha! Although it might be 'predictable'
And to Anime-Master7... could you write something else besides anything like "good chapter and update soon" I mean know reviews are good and you've been with me for awhile but could just write something else!?!
Anywho, those two were just were just getting on my nerves since a couple chaps ago, everyone else's reviews were great... they're the things that keep me going...
Now go REVIEW or face consequences that you will be shot and blown away by a machine gun... limb by limb... finger by finger... inch by inch... millimeter by millimeter... okay, okay I'll shut up
not too good a threat, but it gets the point across...
Until next time...
BladesDeath out...
Oh yeah, if you didn't know, this is probably the hardest chap I wrote because choosing who lived and who died is hell hard...plus it had to fit with the story...
-Note Doc has some OOC in his character in the chap but it's only because of the trauma he's faced...I mean, it looks like he lost his entire team... he's a bit harsh when explaining the but oh well...
Disclaimer: Owning Zoids? HA! Like that's gonna ever happen...cause if I did, I would make Harry die in a tortuous death...oh yeah but I do own Kayla and her Quad Liger...

An aging man slumped down on his knees as he watched the battle unfold right before his very eyes. He suddenly felt as if his youth drain out his body as he saw his very own team dissolve right in front of him. The rich chestnut hair began show signs of white while silent tears of helplessness rolled...

Then it hit her...the battle...the Ultrasaurus...
"K-Kayla...B-Bit" the bleeding redhead stuttered touching for the com-link...
Nothing happened...
'No power...' the pilot sighed in despair
Painfully looking for the emergency eject handle to her left side, she finally noticed that her arm wouldn't respond... trying to make it move only made it worse...
'Dammit...my arm's broken...'
Reaching out with her other right hand, an agonizing pain throbbed throughout her arm as she gave all her remaining strength to activate the lever. With the lever released, the cockpit door shot open, while her restraints unhooked... instantly dropping out the battered warrior...

Brad was there from the beginning of the Blitz Team... always being the cool, calm, money-wanting mercenary till the end...
Leena's second brother, Naomi's lover...
He didn't deserve it...

"Kayla, our newest warrior, survive like you did... because of her energy shield... she's probably in better condition than you are physically... but mentally she torn apart..." Doc said looking back outside...
"Why..." Leena said softy
"It's because of Jamie..."

The auburn feared better than her partner, as she received a large bleeding gash on her right side along with other bruises and cuts. Walking painfully holding her side to numb out the pain and closing one sapphire eye tightly, she went to closet crash site...
'Damn, my hair's all messed up, my body's killing me, my zoid's up for scrap, and finally my mind's telling me to go to another crash site..." she put a weak smile to her insanity...
Walking weakly for what seemed like and eternity, the warrior quickly realized the pieces of scrap lying all about...
'Green...no light green...looks like an some kind of aerial zoid...'
O__o
...
Her eyes shot open thinking of only one person...
"Jamie ! ! !" she yelled out
"Jamie !" she cried out in a weaker tone dropping down to her knees...
"...no...Jamie..." the once powerful pilot began tearing out...
"I-I never got to tell...him..."
-
-
-
-
-
"Ughhh..."
-
-
-
-
-
-
"Jamie!?!?" Kayla looked up running up in pain of the sound...
! ! JAMIE ! ! she yelled hugging and sobbing on his torn body
"Hey, nice to see you too..." he coughed up large amount of blood to the side
"I- thought I lost you...before could say...I could say..." she kept sobbing
"I love you..."
Softening his face, the black haired warrior replied words she hoped to hear...
"I love you too..."
Kissing her forehead the warrior dropped his head back in pain...
Looking up into the orbs of gray, while he did the same into the orbs of blue...the gap closed between the lips...
Her soft lips brushed the lips of the one she truly loved...
Then it happened...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Pulling away he said a final farewell...
"Thank you, for teaching me the pleasures of love... I guess this is why I'm still alive..."
"...Jamie...no..."
"Don't cry, Kay... you look better with a smile..." the tactician said wiping off a tear with a spare tattered hand...
Grabbing his hand she gazed back no knowing what else to do...
-
"No...Don't leave me...."
-
Smiling weakly his unfocused gray orbs slowly began for the final close...
"I'm sorry..."
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! J A M I E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
She began the pound the ground furiously as she cried over his now dead corpse...
A last kiss is all she wanted...
...just one more...
... and just one last time...
"Jamie, you can't be dead...
for the first time I found love...
and now you leave my side...
be with me now forever...
Their lips touched one more time...
-
A passionate kiss to a fallen angel...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
A harsh gasp was heard leaving the dead lips...
-
-

"His body was found next to Kayla's... no one knows how Jamie got out of his Raynos before it crash landed head-on. Some say his body flew out from the crash... others say he automatically ejected milliseconds right before the body the Raynos crushed the cockpit... I personally think the Wild Eagle spirit had to do something with it...
-
"Did he die...?"
-
-
-
"I don't know...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
he's in a coma... five different doctors think he's gonna die..."
-
Tears kept their path her face as she mourned for her comrade with the wind blowing in the small room at a faster rate...
-
"Kayla, who woke up two days ago, and has been by his side ever since... she's destroyed mentally..."
"I think I should call doctor to check you up now..." he said weakly going for the door...
"Dad...what about Bit...?"
He stopped halfway to door... almost scared of the question that intruded his mind. He tried running away before it came up... but it was no use... it was inevitable question that killed him to say it for Kayla and now it was time to say again...
To his daughter...
Bit Cloud... no... The great Bit Cloud, pilot of the Ultimate X... immortal on battlefield... now gone...
Putting his head down covered by his hand, he asked...
"You love him don't you..." he asked sounding like a statement than more of a question... finally making eye contact...
-
-
-
Silence kept pursuing the room...
-
-
-
-
Looking down, she admitted it with a simple weak yes...
Swiping his hand through his hair and putting a tightly clenched fist in front on his lips... he began with a deep sigh...
-
-
-
-
"I have the tapes back from the ZBC... you can see the battle for yourself... but what happened to Bit is basically a mystery. After his final attack... what he called "Final Flash"... his Liger regenerated to in perfect condition... no scratches or dents whatsoever...
"Dad, what about Bit..." Leena interrupted
-
It pained him to say it...
-
"His body was never found... his blood and sweat covered the cockpit... and for some reason it's still warm... not drying up like regular blood... but the camera's didn't catch anything or anyone coming out... the ZBC is announcing today that he's dead..."
"I'm sorry, Leena..."
-
-
-
-
"Bit Cloud is dead... "

And that my friends...is Chapter 19... so how was it? Uhhh... sad? Uhh... I can't sentimental scenes for shit... Yeah probably... I made a comment on New Hope City burning down for the third time... it was just some bad humor from "Past Best Forgotten" by Kitai Matsuru – it's a great fic...
Anywho, the next chapter deals with a Bit's past with Kayla and what the hell was Bit's original plan to 'get' Leena... After that the epilogue...I know...I know lied about the next chap being the epilogue...but who cares...
Oh and Daisy-Chan*Mistress of Evil...if you think this is a cliffhanger the next one of gonna be a hell lotworse... Gwhahahahahahahaha! Although it might be 'predictable'
And to Anime-Master7... could you write something else besides anything like "good chapter and update soon" I mean know reviews are good and you've been with me for awhile but could just write something else!?!
Anywho, those two were just were just getting on my nerves since a couple chaps ago, everyone else's reviews were great... they're the things that keep me going...
Now go REVIEW or face consequences that you will be shot and blown away by a machine gun... limb by limb... finger by finger... inch by inch... millimeter by millimeter... okay, okay I'll shut up
not too good a threat, but it gets the point across...
Until next time...
BladesDeath out...
