Tawanos: Well I hope you liked the last chapter, because there are more
surprises and explanations this chapter.
HinoMitsukai: Yay! Surprises! And look: I'm back! Things just keep getting better and better.
Tawanos: Did I just hear you right? You think things are getting better. You usually don't like what I write.
HinoMitsukai: Wow. That was nice. See if I ever compliment you again. *sticks out her tongue*
Tawanos: So everything back to normal?
HinoMitsukai: Well, folks, Tawanos just told me to say "Shut up and introduce the story already" but I don't think I will. Muahahahahaha.. erm.. Ahem.
Disclaimer: I swear to one day own all of zoids. I will own them all, every toy, every DVD, all of it.
Chapter 4: Of Ligers and of Organoids
Leena woke when the light came through the window and got in her eyes. She sat up and, for a moment, tried to remember what she was doing sleeping in a cabin. Then she remembered the day before, how she and Bit came to find the previous pilot of the Liger Zero. Then Leena got angry when she remembered how Bit had abandoned her in the cockpit of the Liger Zero. Then she remembered how he had carried her into the cabin, she blushed a little at the thought of how good it felt to be in his arms.
Finally Leena got up and began to look for a way out of the cabin. She got into the main room and saw Bit sitting cross-legged in front of the Liger staring up into the face of the great, white zoid. She went outside with the intension of talking to Bit, but when she opened her mouth she saw the old man out of the corner of her eye motioning her to be silent. She closed her mouth and approached the old man who was sitting on a log.
"Good morning, my name in Joseph. Have a seat, this is really quite interesting to watch." He patted a bit of the log next to him. Leena sat down, confident that she was safe.
"What is going on? It looks like Bit is meditating, but he doesn't have the patience for that." Leena asked after a second.
"Bit and Liger Zero's connection has gone to the next level. I expect you have seen Bit respond to Liger's roars." Leena nodded. "Well what Bit hears is words, Liger is actually talking to him. Well now they have moved to the next step. They no longer need words, they now communicate to each other using thoughts and ideas, images and memories. Bit must be some kind of pilot for Liger to bond with him this way, Liger once told me that he would only go this far when he had the perfect partner." Joseph got up stiffly and headed back to the cabin. "Anyway, do you want some breakfast? I make some great pancakes." Leena perked up at the thought of food. Just before she entered the cabin she looked over her shoulder at the young man sitting deep in thought, wondering what they could be talking, or rather thinking about, and if he could handle it.
Joseph sure could make some great pancakes. They were almost all gone when the door opened and Bit walked in. Some how Leena had expected him to look different, but she was pleased to see that hadn't changed at all. Only his eyes looked different, a new fire burned in them. Bit immediately sat down and started to gobble down the remaining pancakes. Leena and Joseph just looked on in amazement.
"Well?" Joseph asked after Bit had finished the last one. "What did you see, I mean talk or think...never mind. Just what happened?" Bit sat back and stared at the ceiling.
"It was indescribable. I saw every one of Liger's memories, his feelings, everything, the good, the bad, the joyous, and the fearful. I saw zoids made and destroyed, I saw people grow up and grow old. And," he turned to Joseph, "I saw the eggs." Joseph just smiled and nodded.
"Eggs? You mean there's more to eat?" Leena inquired.
"No, Leena, not chicken eggs. Organoid eggs. Liger watched over them for as long as he can remember, centuries, since the fall of the ancient Zoidian Empire. He gave them to you, Joseph, to look after until he found me, now he wants you to give them to me." Bit gave no room for argument, but Joseph made one anyway.
"On one condition that you take me with you when you go. There is still more I can learn from them." Bit nodded with a smirk.
"Liger wants you to come."
"Would you please explain what the HELL you are talking about?" Leena made no threat, but it was there nonetheless it said if you don't tell me what I want to know the next thing you see will have to be a hospital.
"As far back as Liger can remember he has watched over three organoid eggs. An organoid is like a small zoid slightly bigger than you or me. They have the power to merge with a zoid, and by doing so increase the zoid's power. These organoids are the rarest thing on Zi other than the Ultimate X's. Because of their power and rarity they are highly coveted by zoid pilots. It was and is Liger's job to protect his three eggs from falling into the wrong hands. That is why Liger brought us here, to get the eggs. As we all saw earlier you are unequipped to defend your self." He said this last bit to Joseph who grudgingly nodded in agreement. "Liger would like them back as soon a possible, he would feel better if they were back in his care."
"I thought that organoids were just a legend." Leena said in awe.
"Hey, don't ignore legends, the Ultimate X was also a legend, but we know that they are quite real." Joseph had gone over to a corner of the room and lifted up a floorboard.
"I've hid them from all people. Nobody but myself and Liger, and now you, know what they are. I am curious as to why Liger wants them back now. He could have gotten them at any time. Is it because of you?" Joseph lifted a metal briefcase from below the removed floorboards. Bit just smiled as he brought the case over to the table.
"No it wasn't because of me. It has more to do with the destruction of the Back Draft group." Bit's smile was a little too crooked for Leena. "While the Back Draft group still existed Liger and I were in constant danger from being attacked, so that he would have made a bad protector for the eggs. Now that they are gone, Liger thought that now was the time for them to come out of hiding and hatch." Leena could only look on in amazement as Joseph set the briefcase down in front of Bit. Bit reached forward with both hands and opened the locks on the case, and opened it. Inside the case, surrounded by protective foam, was what looked like three very large chicken eggs almost the size of an ostrich egg. They all had a glossy metal shell, but the shells were each a different color, sky blue, ruby red, and sea green. Bit stared at them in awe, he had seen them in Liger's memories, but seeing them for himself was completely different, he was about to pick them up when everyone heard Liger roar from outside.
"We've got company." Bit and Joseph said at the same time standing up.
Tawanos: Well Chapter 4 is over and I have left you withy another cliffhanger. I am so Evil.
HinoMitsukai: Yay! I have a crush on a guy named Trevor and I'm going to dinner with some friends where I'm going to see him! Yay! Wish me luck everyone! Bye! *rushes out the door with friend*
Tawanos: Okay. well next time Bit, Liger, Joseph, and Leena leave the valley along with the eggs and they head back to the Base. Next time in Chapter 5: Leaving the Valley.
HinoMitsukai: Yay! Surprises! And look: I'm back! Things just keep getting better and better.
Tawanos: Did I just hear you right? You think things are getting better. You usually don't like what I write.
