Tawanos: Sorry folks, but my sister is out again. This time I think I'll
take Joseph Archaim to talk to. Hello Joseph. How dose it feel to be my
first original character for my story?
Joseph: Who are you? And what do you mean 'my first original character for this story?'
Tawanos: Well I am your god and I created you for the one and your only reason for existence is to fill plot gaps in my story that you now live in.
Joseph: You mean I don't really exist? My life has no real meaning? I've been living a lie!!! *Breaks down sobbing*
Tawanos: That didn't go exactly as I planned it.
Disclaimer: Bad- I don't own Zoids. Good- I do own Joseph, the Armor Organoids, and any as yet unnamed characters and new zoids. They are coming.
Chapter 8: Improvement
After they got the containers that held the organoid eggs inside, everyone headed towards the kitchen for lunch. Everyone just made themselves sandwiches and got drinks, but it didn't matter what they ate because everyone's attention was centered on Bit as he explained the new connection between Liger Zero and himself.
"It's weird at first because we don't have to use words, we can, but they get in the way. I ask Liger a question and he doesn't tell me the answer, he shows me. Liger is constantly with me know in my mind, he knows what I know, sees what I do, he can even feel my emotions, and I can do the same for him. I know that you must have questions that you have wanted to ask Liger Zero, well now is the perfect opportunity. Ask me anything." Bit leaned back in his chair and looked around the room. Joseph was the first to step forward with a question.
"The eggs, how long till they are ready to... well... hatch?" He stammered to find the right word.
"Around three weeks. During the first week a new container to house the growing organoid will form. For the second the organoid will grow and mature. Only during the third week will the organoid become unique, gaining its armor and one of a kind personality." Doc was the next to ask a question.
"Will the organoids be able to merge with any zoid, or only the Liger Zero?"
"They will be able to merge with any zoid." Leena's eyes shone when she thought of all the firepower she would have with a Panzer Gun Sniper mix. Jamie was thinking about how fast he could go with a Jager Reinos mix. The look on Doc's face could mean only one thing; he was thinking about how cool all the different merged zoids would look. "Jamie? Brad? Leena?" Do any of you have a question?"
"I have a question." Brad spoke up. "What happened between you and Leena this morning?" Bit and Leena both blushed at the memory.
"That's none of your damn business Brad." Bit and Leena said in unison. Everyone laughed at this including Bit and Leena.
"Doc, I have one question for you." Bit turned to Doc. "Have you gotten any word from the Zoid Battle Commission on when our first battle is?"
"Yes, we have a month to prepare the zoids, and get acquainted with the new rules of S class zoid battles. I got a copy of the new rules this morning in the mail and from what I've read so far, the reward money is five times that we got in the usual zoid battle back in class A." Brad whistled in amazement at the possible amount of prize money to be won. "There are also new battle modes, like one for only close range combat, or long range weaponry. Also the teams are generally larger than what we are used to, so we might have to get some new team members, and before you ask we may need two to four new members. There is more but what I have just told you is the most important stuff." A child like smile flashed across his face. "This is going to be so cool."
After that everyone went to work in his or her zoids until dinner. During the next week everyone got their zoids into tiptop shape, repairing and replacing broken parts, and making improvements. After the week was done Bit opened the containers that held the growing Armor Organoids. The eggs had become, what appeared to be large semi-translucent glass tubes. After everyone saw them Bit sealed the containers again. Bit and Leena became closer and closer, they went from cuddling to kissing in public so fast that for a time Doc considered hiring a chaperon to follow them around, but luckily Brad and Jamie persuaded him not to.
To everyone's surprise Bit began to train himself under the direction of Liger Zero. Liger had learned something from every pilot he had ever had, everything from strength training, to hand to hand combat, and even meditation. Everyday Bit could be seen training his body and mind. Two days before the organoids were due to hatch Brad challenged Bit to a friendly boxing match to see how much Bit had improved. Bit accepted the challenge happily eager to show how much he had learned.
"I won't go easy on you, I just want you to know that." Brad said as he entered the fighting circle.
"I don't expect you to," was Bit's only reply. For a minute they just circled each other throwing fake punches to try to figure out the other. Suddenly Brad got serious and aimed a particularly strong right hook at Bit's face. Everyone thought it was over Bit hit the deck, but he got back on his feet without a word, all the play was out of his eyes, now this was serious. Brad launched a series of blows at Bit who dodged them easily. Then Bit attacked, everyone was surprised by his or her speed and strength, and Brad was especially surprised when he found himself flying through the air and out of the ring. Even Bit was amazed by how much he had improved.
"That was great, Bit." Said Leena as she ran up and kissed Bit. A howl of anguish and rage came from the entrance to the hanger.
"Leena, how could you?" Harry Champ, a man destined to fail at everything, in Bit's opinion, rushed up and tried to pull Leena away from Bit. Bit looked at Leena in a way that said quite plainly, 'would you like to, or should I?' The look on Leena's face said, 'please, allow me.'
"Harry, shut up a moment would you." He shut up. "Look, I have never loved you and will never love you." Leena put her arm around Bit and pulled him close to her. "I'm with Bit now and its no use challenging him to a zoid battle you wouldn't stand a chance." Harry just stood there unable to think of anything to say. Sebastian and Benjamin, Harry's robot friends, drove up at that moment and took the stunned Harry away back to his base.
"I really hope we don't see him for a long time." Bit leaned down and kissed Leena full on the lips. A scream of despair coming from the direction Harry had driven off in. Bit and Leena broke their kiss and looked into each other's eyes smiling.
