Author: You can all kill me later...
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids, if I did, do you honestly think I would be writing fanfiction? Now please read on.
Claimer: I own the plot, I own Mitch, Kelly, Shawn, Robert, and the creepy old man who always wants to rule the world or destroy it.
They weren't there. Not even a scar... Had it been a dream?She turned to her left side and noticed her father sleeping in a chair by her bed. His face was twisted into a look that told how uncomfortable and stressed he was, even in sleep. Leena blinked for a moment and then smiled. Being a single dad, raising two kids must have been tough and lonely for him. Especially when she had told him she wanted a Zoid to go into combat with. He had given his 'My Only little Girl' speech for weeks, trying to convince her otherwise. But in the end she won the argument and he eventually grew into liking it."He hasn't left your side since we had to pull you and Bit out of the cockpit from the Liger Zero." Said her brother, as he watched her staring at their father.She turned up to look at him, "Then...It wasn't a dream?" A look of bewilderment on her face.Leon shook his head, "No. The Backdraft did kidnapped you.""What happened? Mitch shot me. I remember feeling the bullets go through and break my flesh! Yet I don't even have a scar...Where's Bit?" Leena rushed the words from her mouth, wanting answers quickly.Leon sighed, "He had to battle these wild Zoids to get you guys out of that base.""Wild Zoids?" Leena interrupted him. "Is he okay?He nodded, "Brad and Naomi think the leader of the Backdraft found the Zoids, and knew from the legend where they were from. The Gate. They believe he wants to open the gate. To let more of these Wild Zoids loose. They are vicious and fight as if they have the worlds best fighter piloting them...But they don't have a pilot at all. Bit had such a hard time defeating them...It must have been a hard and unstable battle." He paused letting his words sink into her head. Trying to see if she'd remember any of it."When we pulled you and him out of the cockpit, his shoulder was bleeding immensely from a bullet wound. And you both were unconscious. We thought maybe during the last shock of the battle, with that wound and all the energy he had to be putting into that fight, he was tired and accidentally hit his head and lost consciousness. Bit hasn't woken up yet, he's in the medical room next door. But Jamie and Dad got the bullet out, and healed his arm fairly well. We never found a wound on you though.""How long has it been since you guys pulled us out of there?"Leon stared at her intently, "Four days."Leena moved her legs to the side of the bed in an effort to get out of the bed and stand up when Leon ran to her side."Oh no! You are staying in bed missy!" Said Leon as he placed his hands on her shoulders.Leena pushed him to the side, "I've been in beds, and test tubes long enough to last me a lifetime." With that she started to walk out the door. Her legs wobbling a bit with each step she took.Leon just stared after her, "Test tubes?"Once Leena reached the closed door she closed her eyes and sighed, preparing to see her lover hooked up to machines for life support. Exhaling once more, she pushed a button and the door slid open. She walked into the room, noticing him lying there, still unconscious. He looked paler than she had ever seen him look, and a bandage was wrapped around his head. She presumed that if she had lifted up the sleeve to his shirt, she'd find his shoulder bandaged as well. Sequentially, she moved over to him and sat down in the chair by his bed. Placing her warm hand on his, she squeezed it lightly. She then exhaled, now noticing she had been holding her breath"Bit." His name rolled of her lips smoothly. "Oh your injuries are because of me. All of this is because of me." A tear slid down her cheek. "If it wasn't for me, you and Mitch would still be friends. You'd never have gotten these injuries.""And if it wasn't for you, I would have died." He folded her hand in his as he grasped it tightly. She looked up to see green eyes staring at her with love."Bit!" She cried, throwing her arms around him.He held her against him gently while he kissed her temple. "Are you alright? Nothing damaged?" He asked pulling away from her to look over her for any traces of a sprain or cut. He found none. And he knew he wouldn't. But he had to make sure.She shook her head, "No. Unbelievably enough. Not even a scar.""I meant after the battle."Leena raised an eyebrow, "Then you know that the bullet wounds healed?"He nodded his reply to her."H-How?" Was the only word she could manage to get out.Bit shrugged. Then after taking a moment to think he opened his mouth: "You remember, that day awhile back when we went shopping and after we came home I found you with that huge cut, and I tried to mend it for you?"Leena nodded.
"Remember how it disappeared suddenly and we weren't sure if it was ever really there to begin with?"
Another nod.He nodded in agreement, "I think that I healed you. Both times. Without realizing it."She was now looking at him as if he was crazy. "Maybe Leon is right, and you did hit your head..." She trailed off.Bit shook his head. "No I remember."Leena just stared, "What happened after I got shot and passed out Bit?"::Flashback::Leena's body fell limply to the floor. Blood pouring from the gun shot wounds."No!" Bit screamed as he struggled with his body to stand up.Mitch snapped his head in Bit's direction and stared at him with wide eyes."You fucking bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Bit shouted with rage bleeding from his eyes.Mitch realized how serious he was. Also noticing he was out of bullets, a look of panic washed over his face. He watched Bit finally manage to get to his feet and he decided now would be a good time to run. Tossing the gun and turning his back from his former friend, he bolted out of the lab.Bit staggered towards Leena, deciding she was more important at this moment and that killing Mitch would come later. Kneeling down he seized Leena's arms and pulled her against him. Cradling her against his body, he placed his hands down on her wounds to try and stop the bleeding. Her skin felt like ice. He then began to rock her body slightly."Leena? Leena? Leena you gotta get up. You have to. Open your eyes Leena!" He commanded, his voice cracking. "Leena!" A tear slipped down his face. "No!" He howled. "No! You're not allowed to leave me!" His anger setting in, he didn't realize he was suddenly pushing down harder on her wounds. "I won't let you leave me!"Leena whimpered lightly, her eyes still closed.Bit's head jolted down to look at her. She was still unconscious, but she hadn't made a sound since before she fell, so he took it as a good sign. He shook her again, "Leena! Leena open your eyes!" She didn't move.Shit.He placed his hands back on her wounds, "Leena, you gotta open your eyes, you're bleeding and-" Bit paused aware of something new. He didn't feel her blood on his hand. Or leaking from her wound. He felt skin. Bare, soft, skin. Skin that was now warming up. Removing his hand he peered down to confirm his hypothesis.She was healed!He glanced at her other wounds. Healed. Completely. Not even a scar to indicate that her skin had ever been broken.A loud roar then interrupted Bit's thoughts, as loud rumbling was followed to his ears."Fuck this shit." Muttered Bit as he picked Leena up, ignoring the pain in his shoulder. "I'm not waiting for something else to happen." He said as he ran over to the Liger Zero. The Liger growled and lowered himself as low as possible. Making it easier for Bit to get in."Thanks buddy." Murmured Bit as he sat down in the cockpit, placing Leena in his lap. He pushed her as close to him as she could, while putting the safety straps around them both. Placing his hands on the controls, Liger stood up. "Lets get out of here Liger...I don't wanna find out what made that noise!"Liger roared in agreement, starting to run out the exit of the Lab. His claws scraping the metal floor emitting a screeching pitch."Faster Liger or the enemies gonna hear you and catch up."Liger complied with the order, the sights around them starting to become just a glimmer. Light was ahead at the end of the dark tunnel and Bit recognized it as the way he came in."Good job Liger." Said Bit as they reached the outside of the base. It was a short-lived victory. The Ligers scanners started beeping. "Shit." Bit glanced at the scanners. "Liger! Three enemies coming up behind us."The Liger roared again."Avoid the battle if you can, I don't want Leena hurt!"Liger only assented to Bit's concern and made a run for the Hover cargo that was about two hundred to five hundred feet(in Zoid Steps)away."That's the Liger Zero!" Hollered Leon as everyone jumped up to look at the scanners."It is Bit!" Cheered Naomi, jumping up and down with Brad.Doc jumped up, "And Leena!""I'll be damned." Said Pierce."Bit?" Jamie pulled up the communicational screen, and Bit's image with Leena in his arms appeared on the screen."Jamie!" Bit gleefully responded. "An idea what's behind me?"Jamie's computer scanned the area. "Their Zoids. But totally different from any Zoids I've ever seen. Two of them look like a new version or take on the HellCat. The other one looks like it could be a sand shark!""Could be?" Bit questioned."Well," Jamie started, "It appears to be under the sand. And it is speed is increasing. Its almost right underneath you so avoid the attack.""Gotcha." Said Bit as he pulled up the control and the Liger zero Sprinted to the side. The sand shark darting up from the sand a second later. Bit pulled up a screen to talk to the pilot. But nothing responded. "What the...?" The Liger then shook violently and was blasted to the ground."Shit. Bit the HellCat's seem to have a beam canon. They're about to fire another attack so move quickly. And look out from your left, that's where it looks like the Sand Shark will attack, he's head to your left side." Jamie ordered, typing furiously."Right." Bit then pulled up another control and the Liger jumped to its right. Avoiding the beam canon, in the process of the sand shark jumped into the air to attack where the Liger had once been. But was hit with the beam canon from the HellCat's.Pierce raised an eyebrow,"They fired on their own teammate?""Jamie!" Bit's voice called over the screen."Yeah?""I can't get a hold of the pilots. Please try to get them to answer you. Tell them I don't want to fight and I'll leave them alone if they let me be! Leena can't take this in her condition right now." Uttered Bit, his words serious and full of concern.Jamie nodded, "Right." He then started typing, and opening up a bunch of windows on his computer screen. Not getting a visualization window, Jamie stared at his computer blankly. "That can't be right..." He then started typing again, and tried a different route to get to the Visualization window for communication. And he got the same reply.Naomi's eyes widened, "Brad! Are you thinking what I am thinking?"He stared at her for a second. "Shit." He knew exactly what she was thinking! "Jamie!" He commanded. "Ran a scanner on those Zoids.""I already told Bit, I'm not sure what kind of Zoids they are.""Not for that." Said Brad as he stared at the screen. "Scan for an signs of a pilot in there cockpits.""Scan for their pilots? How could a Zoid attack without a pilot?" Jamie scratched his head."If our hunches are right, those Zoids aren't from around here..." Said Naomi as she looked at the battle still going on outside.He understood what she was saying. "Okay. Scanning." Jamie began to type extremely fast, opening and closing windows and finally opening the scanner. The Hover Cargoes satellite shifted. Brad and Naomi peered over Jamie's shoulder, waiting for the results. The results popped up and Jamie gasped, "You were right. They have no pilots!"Jamie switched back to the link with Bit, "Bit, those Zoids don't have pilots!"The Liger dodged another attack, "What!? How can that be?" He asked in astonishment. His breathing was becoming ragged and he glimpsed at his shoulder that was covered in blood."Brad and Naomi believe them to be the Wild Zoids from the Legend the old man was talking about." He replied, looking at Brad and Naomi, making sure he got the story right.Bit was wheezing, "Okay, Jamie just tell me how I can beat em'."Jamie thought for a moment. Then the idea came upon him like lighting. "Go with the Enemy of thy enemy maneuver. That should at least wound them enough for you to use Ligers laser claw."Bit nodded, "Thanks." With that he pushed forward one of the controllers. "Okay Liger, let's get the attention of those Hellcats." Said Bit as the Liger started running circles in between the Hellcats, while they both started charging their beam canons."Bit they're going to fire now!" Shouted Jamie as Bit heard him and dodged the attack sharply, the Liger hitting the ground roughly as Bit let go of the controls to hold Leena tightly so she wouldn't get hurt. Bit's body jerked and his head thrashed to the side of the cockpit. Blood trickled down the side of his head."Bit if you don't want to loose you have to attack them now while you still have this chance!" Screamed Jamie through the intercom.Bit grunted and placed his hands back on the controllers. "Liger."
The Liger roared in a response, and then started charging for the Hellcats. Jumping in air above them, the Ligers claws started to glow brightly."Liger! Double-Strike Laser Claw!" Shouted Bit as the claws of the Liger Zero ripped through the metal of the Hellcats, tarring without protests as it reached the core of the Zoids and destroyed it."Whoo-hoo!" Cheers from the Hover Cargo could be heard.Bit just sat there panting...His energy was gone and he had lost so much blood. He glimpsed at Leena. She was breathing better than she had been in the lab. At least now he could hear her breathing. His body was trembling and he felt his eyelids pulling themselves over his eyes. He grunted trying to protest to falling into the darkness, but his body was going to win this one."Leena." He whispered as he drifted into the darkness of his mind, his body going limp.:: End Flashback ::Leena just stared. "You could have died.""Nah." He shrugged the thought off.She hit him on his good shoulder, "Don't give me that shit! Yes you could have. And you healed me...How did you heal me?" She shook her head not understanding.Bit stared at her in silence for a little while with somber eyes. "I think I know how." He finally spoke.Leena looked confused, "How?""Its because I'm the chosen one."Brad's voice: Next time on Zoids: Enter the Gate: Chapter Ten:
