Chapter 5 Leena: Dead or Alive

In our last chapter the snow wolf team had a plan to either kill Leena in the heart or paralyze her what will happen will Bit come to her rescue or as the leader said will Bit find Leena dead upon his body let's continue on with the story.

"Say bye-bye to your little girlfriend because the next time you see her she'll be dead upon your body" said the leader laughing evilly.

*thinking* /I can't let that happen to Leena no matter what, I can't believe the snow wolf team was planning this all along, they wanted to paralyze me the last time so that I wouldn't be able to protect Leena from what they are trying to do to her now, I got to think of something to protect Leena from getting hit by the leader/ thought Bit

The leader was still at the top of the cliff where he was positioning himself to get the perfect shot to snipe Leena and he couldn't wait for the right moment.

"I can't wait until I hear the joyous sounds of yelling, its music to my ears, and soon enough that little girl won't be alive anymore" said the leader and he just sat back and watched the battle from there.

"Besides before the battle my team and I worked out a strategy to make sure that she is in the right position and the strategy should start working within the next 30 minutes" said the leader

On the battlefield..

"Leena you doing alright over there" said bit

"Not really, this snow wolf here keeps making circles around me and he keeps trying to knock me down or something, what keeps going on with this team" said Leena

/Cause Leena they're trying to get you/ thought Bit

"Bit, you have any good ideas, on how to stop this" said Leena

"Brad, Leena could you two hold the battle for awhile I'm going on the dock to equip Liger with the Jager armor, I'll be right back" said Bit

/Leena please be alive, when I come back, I don't want you dead/ though Bit "Doc, get the Jager armor ready on Dock 1, hurry it's an emergency" said Bit

"Right, Jamie get maintence dock 1 for CAS on the double" said Doc

"Right, opening maintenance deck 1 for Liger Zero Jager" said Jamie

"Liger Zero secured onto maintenance deck" said Doc

After 5 minutes of fitting on the armor and making sure that all the armor was in place, Liger jumped from the loading dock and was back out on the battlefield ready to go back in and fight.

Brad and the shadowfox was holding up quite well but it looked as if it wanted to give in to the fight but Brad wouldn't have it with the Zoid and badly injured one of the wolves on the snow wolf team, but things began to turn when the leader told his two teammates that they had to figure out a strategy to get Leena in for the snipe.

The one teammate that was badly injured in the front leg could still run at almost maximum speed and the agility was still good decided to chase Leena right into the line of sniping.

"That's it girl come right here so I can shoot ya, hehe" said the leader

"What is going on here, I can't seem to find Leena" said Bit

"There she is" said Brad

Bit saw Leena being chased by the two wolves on the team, and Bit started heading in that direction, but not for long..

"I don't think so kid" said the leader and he took out a stealth, noiseless gun and shot the Liger in the two rear back legs immobilizing Liger

"What happened to you Liger, how come you can't move" said Bit

"Oh no your rear back legs have been shot, but who could have done that, there's nothing on radar except for Leena, those two wolves, Brad and I" said Bit

"Leena you doing okay over there" said Bit

"No, I'm not doing okay, it seems that my weapons are jammed somehow, it seems when they were circling around me, they seemed to put a weapons jamming device so I can't use my weapons, I'll see what I can do to try to get out of this mess" said Leena

"Okay you be careful out there, I'll check back in 5 minutes, and remember be careful" said Bit "Yeah, you too" said Leena

"You two get into formation it's time for the execution" said the leader

"Right" said snow 1

"Right" said snow 2

The time came for the formation that snow wolf team came up with and it was time for that formation.

The two snow wolves each clamped down onto the arms on Leena's gun sniper and started dragging her, and they threw her Zoid into the air and it landed on its backside and Bit couldn't believe what was happening

"Leena get up, please get up, I don't want to lose you, I don't want to see you dead" said Bit

Leena wasn't moving since she was dropped and that was when the leader lined up his sights and found dead aim on the cockpit and he fired the gun and it went straight past all the other Zoids

Bit couldn't believe what happened next, he saw the bullet hit its target, the cockpit glass shattered and Bit with wide eyes saw what something he never wanted to see again when the glass went off into the sky and disappeared, he saw Leena slumped over with blood on the front part of her, and she looked like she also suffered head injuries as well from earlier.

Bit jumped from Liger and ran over to the gun sniper and saw that Leena was in bad shape, and he went onto the Zoid and stepped into the cockpit and carried Leena's almost lifeless body and put it onto the ground he looked at her face and saw all the blood that was coming from her head and he tried to clean it up but it there was soo much blood on her face that he couldn't clean up her face.

Bit took leena's body and just pressed her against his own and started crying as seeing how the woman he loved in his life was slipping away from him and he just kept on crying until the unthinkable happened...

*softly* "Bit is that you" said Leena

"Leena, Leena! Thank god your alive I thought I lost you there for a moment, Leena, Leena stay with me" said Bit

"I'm trying Bit, but the pain from the bullet in my chest is making me weaker every minute, please get me back to the cargo hold" said Leena

"Okay" said Bit

Bit carried Leena back to his Zoid and using Jager's boosters he brought Leena back to the cargo hold and when doc saw what condition Leena was in he started to get very angry

"Bit I want you to go back out there and get revenge on what they did to my poor daughter, I'll see what I can do to get her stabilized, but right now, please destroy that team at all costs" said Doc

"Right" said Bit

Bit went back onto the battlefield and got back into Liger and after seeing what happened to Leena he was going to make sure that they will pay for what they did to Leena

"Alright Liger time for some payback, and Leena this one's for you" said Bit

Bit and Liger with newfound energy saw the three snow wolves together and that was Bit started charging for them and performed three perfect strike laser claws on each of the wolves despite the two rear broken legs on liger which were repaired and no one knew how they were repaired and Bit looked at three fallen Zoids and smiled to himself

"Wait for me Leena, I hope you pull through all right" said Bit

After the judge declared the Blitz team the winners, and after all the Zoids including leena's broken gun sniper, were put away Bit went into the room where Doc and Brad were and when he saw Leena all cleaned up from the dry blood she looked a little better her colored slightly returned but she still looked white as a ghost.

"How is she doing" said Bit

"I cleaned up all the blood, and she's pretty stabilized but she will have to be put into intensive care for at least 3 weeks possibly up to a month by my judgment, but I'll call the doctor tomorrow morning and see what he has to say" said Doc

"But where are we going to find a doctor" said Bit

"Luckily we'll be arriving at a town in 15 minutes and I looked it up in the phone book and they have a hospital there and some doctors there and so for the night we'll spend here and then we'll bring a doctor here to see what he has to say about Leena's condition" said Doc

"Right, but May I be alone with Leena for a few minutes please" said Bit

"Sure" said Brad and Doc and they left the room

"Leena, please don't die on me, I want us to have a future together, and have a family together, and get married, if you die, then we won't make a future for ourselves, please Leena I want to wake up and see your beautiful, smiling face like the way I always do every morning, please Leena, I don't want to lose you, you're my life, my love, my soulmate" said Bit

"Leena if you can even hear me try to say something that would reassure me that your still here and not in the other world" said Bit

*softly, whispering* "Bit, is that you" said Leena

"Leena, your awake, how are you feeling" said Bit

"My whole body hurts, and I feel pain everywhere, and I can't move anything, I can barely speak, let alone talk" said Leena

"Shh, Leena please try not to talk, I need you to get better, please Leena pull through this with the strength that you have in your heart" said Bit

Leena weakly moved one of her hands and stroked Bit's face and she closed her eyes and fell too sleep so that her body could start the long healing process.

The whole team arrived at the city, and Doc got out of the hover cargo and went to the local hospital and asked for one of there doctors and the nurse said that one will be with him shortly, soon after 5 minutes a doctor came down.

"May I help you sir" said the doctor

"I have someone in my cargo hold that needs to be looked over, she got hurt really badly in a Zoid battle and I was wondering if you could help her or not" said Doc

"Okay, let me get my things, and I'll see what I can do" said the doctor

So the doctor got his medical things and walked with Doc to the cargo hold and he showed the doctor to where Leena's room was

"In here doctor" said Doc

"Thank you" said the doctor

The doctor walked in and took a look at Leena.

"I see, it looks as if she was shot right here above her heart, somewhere near her sternum muscle, thank god it didn't hit any of her lungs or else she would've died instantly, and it seems that she suffered some pretty bad head injuries, her head and spinal cord and neck are all okay, the only damage is inside her body" said the doctor "How long do you think she should stay in bed for" said Doc?

"at least 3 wks to up to a month I should say, tell you what, why don't you bring her over to the hospital and she would receive much better treatment and she might heal faster there too, and it won't cost you guys anything, seeing as how you guys are the Blitz team" said the doctor

"Thanks, that was really nice of you" said Doc

"Don't mention it" said the doctor

So doc and Bit put Leena on the stretcher and was wheeled into the hospital and she was wheeled into her room which was on the first floor and near the entrance and it was a private room with a little sitting area and it had a nice view from the window and Bit and Doc put Leena near the window for the sun to come in and brighten up the room.

Doc and Bit pulled up a couple chairs and tried to see if Leena would wake up, after about an half hour Leena opened her eyes and was trying to figure out where she was.

"Bit, Dad" said Leena

"Hey, there Leena, how do you feel" said Doc

"A little better, dad where am I" said Leena

"You're in the hospital, where you going to be taken care of" said Doc

"Thanks dad for caring so much, and you too Bit" said Leena

"Anytime Leena, you know for a minute there I thought I lost ya there" said Bit

"I thought so to, but it was our love that gave me the strength to keep going" said Leena and she moaned and groaned when she tried to move something

"Leena why don't you get some rest, we'll check in with in about 2 hours ok" said Doc

"Okay" said Leena weakly

"Bye sweety" said Doc

"Bye Leena, I love you" said Bit

"Bye, and I love you too" said Leena

Leena fell into a peaceful sleep as her body began to heal; Leena was starting on a hard journey to get better, but knowing that she had her dad, Bit and everyone else beside her she knew she was going to be all right

Within the next few days, doctors and nurses started hooking up two machines to Leena and the fluid bag in each machine was to be changed every 2 hours and Leena was sleeping when this was taking place but as she was getting the fluid her body was taking it's time within the healing process and she was dreaming about her future with Bit when she was either napping or sleeping.

Bit, Brad, Jamie and Doc came to visit during visitation hrs and every day they were getting updated on her progress and also the doctor was mailing the progress right to the hover cargo so they could see how Leena was doing and every day she was getting better little by little

1 week after the incident Leena was looking better, the color in her face was returning, and she could talk a little better, even though her voice was still weak, and her injuries on her head were disappearing nicely and she was beginning to look like her old self again.

But she was going to be in the hospital for quite some time and whenever Bit or her dad came or even Brad or Jamie, they would bring little presents to her to brighten up her room, well one day Bit decided to visit her to check in and see how she was doing.

"Hi, Bit" said Leena weakly

"Hey there, how are you feeling" said Bit

"I still hurt in some places, but other than that, I feel fine" said Leena

"I brought these for you" said Bit holding a vase of Lilies and Lilacs

"Oh Bit they're so beautiful, here go get a vase and put them by the window where they will look nice" said Leena

"Okay" said Bit and he went to get a vase and he put the flowers in it and put it by the window so they would look nice

"What's the team doing now these days" said Leena

"We've been fixing your gun sniper, which got pretty banged up in the battle, luckily the repairs were minor or else it could have been worse, but doc says your Zoid will be all fixed by the end of the week" said Bit

"Bit, what happened after I was shot" said Leena

"You were a mess, you had blood all over you, I couldn't even tell if it was you or not, * starts to cry* I'm sorry that I couldn't save you Leena, I shouldn't even be called a Zoid pilot all because I couldn't do anything and I almost lost you and I couldn't stop it, you probably think I'm really weak right now" said Bit

Leena took one of her hands and started stroking Bit's face and told him

"Bit your not weak, your practically one of the best Zoid pilots around, things can never be stopped, sometimes they're meant to happen" said Leena

"But Leena, I almost you and I never want to lose you because you mean everything to me and that is why I love you soo much" said Bit

"And you mean everything to me too Bit, you're my whole world to me" said Leena

Bit gave Leena a quick kiss as Leena settled down for a nap and when a nurse came in to replace her fluids Bit took this moment to excuse him and he walked back to the hover cargo to help with dinner.

"So how was Leena today" said Doc

"She looks better, but she says she hurts in some places, but other than that she said she was fine" said Bit

"Did you ask her on what they planning to do with the bullet in her chest" said Doc

"I didn't ask her about that, but she did ask what happened after she got shot" said Bit

"What did you tell her" said Doc

"I told her what happened, and she told me that she doesn't even remember that, I mean she had her eyes closed while everything was happening" said Bit

"You going to visit again tomorrow" said Doc

"No, I think you should, besides tomorrow I was maybe thinking about making some adjustments to Liger" said Bit

"Okay, besides I was thinking about brining over some lunch for her tomorrow, because she has been complaining that the hospital food isn't to her liking, so I think some of my cooking might cheer her up" said Doc

"That might be a good idea" said Bit

"But isn't Jamie the one who always does the cooking" said Bit

"Well I could always help Jamie with the cooking, and I was thinking about spending at least one night there, you don't mind that do you Bit" said Doc

"No that would be ok, besides I got a few things that I could do around here, but no problem" said Bit

"When do you planning on spending the night at the hospital" said Bit

"I was maybe thinking about tomorrow" said Doc

"That would be ok" said Bit

"Hey Bit could you do me a little favor" said Doc

"Sure what" said Bit

"I was thinking about visiting Leena while they're still some time left, and I was wondering if you could handle the prize money and add into everyone's bank account then afterwards could print out a sheet for me so that I could put it on file, thanks" said Doc

"Sure no problem" said Bit

"Well I better get going, see you guys in a bit" said Doc

"Say hi to Leena for me" said Brad

"Yeah, me too" said Jamie

"And don't forget me" said Bit

"I will, and please try to keep the hover cargo neat and clean ok" said Doc

"Okay" said all three

Doc went over to the hospital to visit Leena and when he saw her, he noticed she looked a little better, and Leena was sitting up straight up in bed eating her dinner, but touching it very lightly, and she pushed the tray away and Doc reached down and gave her a light hug, because he didn't want to give her anymore pain.

"How are you feeling today" said Doc

Leena sitting up a little more "I can breathe a little bit, but that's about all, and the doctor said that all my injuries to my head have disappeared completely, and he says that I should make a full recovery" said Leena

"What did the doctor say about the bullet in your chest" said Doc

"He said that they were going to put me into surgery tomorrow, and he said that with the bullet taken out of me, he said my sternum should also make a full recovery which I'm glad for" said Leena

"At least we can be thankful for that" said Doc

"So what time you going in tomorrow" said Doc

"About 9:30" said Leena

"Did the doctor say how long you might be surgery for" said Doc

"he said from about 3 to 4 hours because how small the bullet is and how much they have open me up to get to the bullet, and he said I'll be asleep so I probably won't feel anything while I'm under asleep" said Leena

"Well I better get going, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon sometime, and I pray that you get through the surgery tomorrow" said Doc

"I hope so too, night dad" said Leena and she snuggled right down into her pillows and she fell into a deep sleep that dreaming about Bit and their future family

The next morning Leena woke up and she saw that it was going to be a beautiful day out and that was when two doctors and two nurses came into leena's room and wheeled her down to surgery.

"Today would have been our 4th week anniversary, well I better go get her something special, she seems to have enough flowers in her room, well I was going to go shopping today, so maybe I'll find something she might like when I go" said Bit

Bit had decided to do a little shopping, and he stopped by the little jewelry store and something caught his eyes, it was a two piece earring and bracelet set, in the color of amethyst, Leena's eye color and Bit thought that this was the perfect gift for seeing as how her eye color was amethyst, so Bit bought the bracelet, and earrings and even a necklace to match.

Bit decided to go see Leena after her operation was over with and a chance for her to sleep a little, so he figured to go about 2:30 when he went back to the hover cargo to wrap up Leena's present.

Leena opened her eyes and noticed on her chest a scar there, she breathed a sigh of relief that the operation went ok, and she looked at the clock and it read 1:00 she was really tired and that was when the nurse brought her lunch and she touched it only a little bit because she really wasn't that hungry and she soon settled in for a nice nap. It was about 2:15 when Bit decided to walk over to the hospital and when he got to the desk he asked if Leena was out of surgery yet

"Has Leena Toros been taken out of surgery yet" said Bit

"She was just taken out and hour ago, but I'll see if it's okay for you to go see her, wait a moment please" said the nurse

A few minutes later.

"Sir, the doctor said it was alright to see her, she's down the hall on your right number 127" said the nurse

"Thanks" said Bit

Bit walked down to Leena's room and saw that she was sleeping, and Bit walked in and that was when Leena stirred

"Bit, is that you" said Leena rubbing her eyes and focusing

"Yeah, it's me, how are feeling" said Bit and he gave her a kiss on her forehead

"I feel quite better now that the bullet is out of me" said Leena

"How long did the doctor say for you to stay here" said bit

"With the operation, two weeks and if I didn't have the operation, 1 month, he said that with 2 weeks rest, I should be all healed inside and I get to go back home" said Leena

"That'll be good, it just isn't the same without you around" said Bit

"Oh, here I have something for you, happy anniversary" said Bit

"You remembered, I thought you would forget" said Leena

"Forget this special day, not uh, go ahead and open it, I think you'll like this gift" said Bit

Leena opened the gift and gasped at what she saw, how could Bit know that leena's favorite color was amethyst.

"Bit, how you knew that amethyst was my favorite color" said Leena

"Because it's the color of your eyes and I thought that this would look beautiful with your color" said Bit

Leena kissed him "Thank you Bit, and I have a little something for you as well" said Leena

"What" said Bit?

"Here, I had a nurse go down and buy it for me," said Leena

Leena gave Bit a long thin small box

"Go ahead and open it" said Leena

"Okay" said Bit

Bit opened it and found it to be a necklace of Liger in different jewels and the surprising thing was that the jewels were all real.

"Leena it's beautiful, but where did you get the money for it" said Bit holding it

"I used my prize money to get it for you, and I knew you would like it" said Leena

"I do I'll wear it around my neck where it will be close to my heart, same as how you are close to my heart" said Bit

*yawning* "I feel so sleepy, maybe it's because of all the anesthesia that they gave me" said Leena

"Maybe I better get going, so you could sleep better" said Bit

"No please stay here with me, I don't want to be lonely" said Leena

"I guess I could stay until you fall asleep, how about that" said Bit

"Okay, that would be fine" said Leena

Leena smiled up at Bit and she snuggled down into her pillows and Bit came over and tucked her in making sure she was comfortable and he smile at her, thinking of how much has happened, falling in love with Leena and planning their future and hoping what the future might bring them.

Bit took a chair over to Leena's bed and took her small hand and gripped it lightly and got a response from a sleeping Leena

"I wonder what she's dreaming about that is making her smile" said Bit

Leena was having a nice dream and she couldn't help but smile every 5 minutes within her dream and when she opened her eyes she asked Bit what time it was "Bit what time is it" said Leena

"It's about 4:30" said Bit

"Then I must have had a good nap then" said Leena

"I guess you did, I better going, it would be about dinner time back at the cargo, if I can I'll try to bring some in ok" said Bit

"That would be nice" said Leena

Bit kissed Leena goodbye and he walked back to the hover cargo.

"So how was Leena today" said Doc

"She seems to be acting like herself but she felt kind of tired today from the operation, but the good news is that she'll be let out in a couple of weeks" said Bit

"That's good to hear, I can't wait to bring her back home" said Doc

"Do you think that we should have a surprise party for her when she gets home" said Brad

"Yeah, that might be a good idea, but how should we welcome her when she gets home, I don't want to put her into too much shock" said Doc

"I could plan it" said Jamie

"You, Jamie" said Bit

"Yeah, I'm really good at planning parties and could make all of Leena's favorite things that she eats at dinner, please let handle party doc please" said Jamie

"Okay, Jamie you can plan the party" said Doc

"Thanks Doc" said Jamie

"Anytime" said Doc

"Yeah, let's make this a party that no one will ever forget" said Bit

How is Jamie going to plan this party, Leena's getting out of the hospital and everyone is glad and everyone is excited about the party how will the party go all these questions will be answered in the next chapter The Party so until then this is sakuracherrystar saying "For Those With Wings, Fly To Your Dreams"- Pilot Candidate
