Tawanos: So now you know what the basic idea for the story is, took me
long enough a week and a half to do what other authors do in the first
chapter, I'll have to work on that.
HinoMitsukai: Took you long enough, no da. I mean, just think, if it takes this long to establish a plot, imagine how long this whole thing will be when it's done! Gah!
Tawanos: I am suddenly very afraid that I will loose all my readers before I finish, that or I die of old age.
HinoMitsukai: Or that you might just, ya know, die. *evil grin*
Tawanos: I guess we'll see. I hope you guys stick around, this story is going to get a whole lot better. eventually.
Chapter 5: Leaving the Valley
Bit's eyes appeared to loose focus.
"Ten Dark Horns, and maybe thirty Rev Raptors. That guy from earlier is leading them." Bit's voice was soft but clear. Then his eyes snapped back into focus, he turned to Joseph. "Do you have a jeep, or a zoid, something that can get you away from here?"
"I have a Gustav I use to go into town. What do you have in mind?" Quickly Bit closed the case with the eggs, and handed it to Joseph.
"I want you to take the eggs and Leena, get in that Gustav and hightail it out of here." Bit turned and headed for the door.
"What about you?" The worry was evident in Leena's voice.
"Liger and me are going to be a distraction while you get away." Bit said this was the cocky warrior that Leena had come to know, not the thoughtful one of the past few days. Bit opened the door and raced to where Liger waited, head down and cockpit open. As Bit jumped in the top closed and Liger got to his feet and bounded off. Leena followed Joseph out and around to the back of the cabin where a green Gustav was. The green armor zoid opened easily and Leena and Joseph jumped in, the zoid started to rumble down the path out of the valley, Leena looked out the window back in the direction that Bit had charged off in and prayed that he would be all right.
*** Back with Bit ***
"STRIKE LASER CLAW!!!" Came the yell as Liger Zero jumped out from behind some trees directly at one of the Dark Horns. The pilot didn't have time to react before Liger's shining front claws had ripped the massive Gating gun off it's back freezing the command system disabling the black zoid. But Bit didn't stop there. He immediately headed for the nearest Rev Raptor taking it down easily. Just as he had planned the rest of the zoids turned and headed for the Liger's position firing all weapons.
We need to get them away from here. Liger Zero said, not roaring, but speaking directly into Bit's mind.
"When you're right, you're right, partner." Bit turned the Liger and headed down deeper into the valley, where it became narrower and was scattered with large boulders.
"Give up, there is no escape from the Dark Draft group." It was the same guy as last time.
"Dark Draft? That's the worst evil group name ever, I mean come on." Bit laughed as yell of rage came over the com-system. "Catch me if you can, you losers." Bit dogged a torrent of fire behind a boulder making them follow him.
"I don't care what it takes, I want that zoid wiped off the face of Zi." They followed the Liger around a sharp turn, but when they got there it had disappeared. If they had looked up they might have seen the Liger looking down on them from the edge of cliff, having rebounded off the sides of the gorge, before it turned and headed out across the desert to find the Gustav.
*** A little bit later ***
"Hey guys, miss me?" Said Bit as he and Liger came up behind the Gustav. The Gustav came to a halt and Leena jumped out and raced over to where Bit jumped out of the Liger. Bit thought that she was going to yell at him, but instead she pulled him into a tight hug, but not strangling, this surprised Bit. Leena was also surprised when Bit returned the hug. She looked up into his face and saw a smile that said don't worry I'm here, everything will be all right. Looking into each other's eyes, Bit and Leena let their faces get closer and closer, fully prepared for what was coming next. But then...
"Sorry to interrupt, but we really should keep moving." Joseph said from the Gustav. I would really, really hate to get caught out here in the open like this, and from what Leena told me about how long it took Liger to get here we won't reach your base till after midnight." Bit and Leena glared at him.
"He's right, we should keep moving." Bit said but he didn't release Leena. "Leena? When we get back to the base we need to talk." He squeezed her tightly before reluctantly letting go and heading over to the Gustav with her. "Joseph, give me the eggs, Liger and I would feel better if they were with us." Joseph nodded and handed over the case. Leena watched as Bit took the case over to Liger, but instead of climbing into the cockpit, he waited for Liger to open his mouth to reveal three small carved out holes in the lower jaw. Bit placed the eggs in the holes, where they fit perfectly. Then Bit climbed into his zoid, his thoughts concerned with only two things, the organoid eggs, and what almost happened a moment ago between Leena and himself. Leena on the other hand was only thinking of one thing as she climbed into the Gustav, one thing because she didn't have to worry about the eggs.
"Let's go home Liger Zero." Liger roared its approval. To Bit the roar was a voice saying Finally, and when we get there you are going to tell Leena how you feel. Bit smiled. "Let's get home as soon a possible." With that the Liger bounded off through the dessert in the direction of the Blitz team base, the Gustav following right behind it.
HinoMitsukai: I have the sudden urge to say "Bite me, I exist."
Tawanos: WHAT???
HinoMitsukai: It's like those t-shirts, ya know? "Kiss me, I'm Irish" "Kiss me, I'm a Leprechaun" "Kiss me, I can read." That sort of thing. Except that I have a really big headache (when don't I?), so I say "Bite me, I exist." It's aimed towards the CIA/FBI/Whoever else is watching me, just because I'm the head of a neo-KGB, and my boss is trying to take over the world. So, CIA, bite me. (And by the way, this has absolutely no relevance to this chapter, or any other chapter. At all. Ever.)
Tawanos: I will never understand you.
HinoMitsukai: That's the plan, "Tchusov," that's the plan.
Tawanos: Who the HELL is Tchusov???
Next time: Bit and Leena return to the Blitz Team Base. Bit and Leena find themselves in a rather awkward position while alone. Will they hook up or push each other away? Next time in Chapter 6- Returning Home
HinoMitsukai: Took you long enough, no da. I mean, just think, if it takes this long to establish a plot, imagine how long this whole thing will be when it's done! Gah!
