Tawanos: I am very sorry to say this but chapters for this story are going
to be updated every Friday and Monday. Wednesday has been cut out for
several reasons. A) Increased homework from school, 2) After school
activities requiring more work as well, and finally C) I am starting a new
story very soon for a competition set up by RaiKinoshin. I think you
readers, who actually like my work, will enjoy the fic I have planned.
HinoMitsukai: How touching. But on to more important matters: me. I've been "grounded." That's in quotation marks because I'm not really grounded, my family is just pretending for my sake. I was supposed to go and visit a friend of mine this week, but other plans arose and instead of just breaking her heart and telling her that I couldn't come, yet again, my mother "grounded" me. The story is that I went out late, didn't tell anyone, didn't call, and as my mother says "had the gall to come home and say that you had a good time!" (she's being sarcastic, by the way) But then my pesky little shoulder angel pitches in her two cents and tells me that I'm being a horrible person. For comfort I turn to my dearest brother, Tawanos, and hope that his good words can guide me. *flutters eyelashes dramatically*
Tawanos: Bite me!
HinoMitsukai: *turns to the audience* And there you have it, folks! Words of wisdom from the one and only Tawanos! And with that stunning beginning, on with the story!

Chapter 14: Partners and Teammates
"You must swear not to tell anyone about the organoids until we are ready. Do you promise?" They all said yes except Naomi, who mumbled something she was still staring at Rain. "Naomi? Rain? Can I speak with for a moment?" The rest of the team understood, Bit had explained that he thought that something like this might happen. Naomi and Rain followed Bit over to the Liger. "Naomi I would like to officially introduce you to Rain, her full name is Rain the Far Seer. As organoids go Rain here is not that powerful, but her aim is impeccable, with her fused to your Gun Sniper you could hit targets miles away perfectly." Rain growled something. "Tell me Naomi, what did she just say?"
"She asked if I would like to be her partner." She was shocked to realize that she understood what the pink organoid said, but she recovered quickly. "Yes, I would love to be partners with you." Bit smiled. "Why can I understand her?" The headed back to the others. "I mean, I can't understand the others, can I?"
"No you can't understand the others. It is a mystery as to why a bond forms between humans and organoids. It could be because you think alike, or similar skills, I don't know." The reached the others. "It's been decided, a link has been formed, and Naomi and Rain are now partners. It is their duty to protect one another." Leena came over and put her arm around Bit.
"You knew that this was going to happen. Didn't you?" She said.
"I had a feeling that they would be good for each other." Bit smiled and pulled Leena close to him. "Any way our first battle is in two days. Doc do you have information on the team we will be facing?"
"They are called the Streak team. They are well known for their zoids that have been equipped for ultra high-speed battles. They consist of three Lightning Siax and a Storm Sworder. All their zoids have been equipped with at least two extra ion boosters. They do not have nearly as much armor like the Lightning team had, for these reasons their zoids are very, very fast."
"What about weapons?" Jamie asked from the side.
"They all use side blades on the Siax and the wing blades on the Sworder. Because it's hard to aim when moving at high speeds they prefer to use the blades as they rush by their opponents."
"Looks like we might need you buddy." Bit said to Jager. Jager growled in agreement. Leena stifled a yawn. Bit smiled at her and hugged her. "Looks like it's time for bed." And it was, the sun had set a while ago, and because of the meal they had eaten earlier they were not hungry.
Brad showed Katie and Pierce to rooms that would be theirs, and Leon and Naomi decided to stay the night. Everyone prepared to go to bed unaware of the events that were going to happen in the next few days.
*** The next morning***
Bit woke early to the now common smell of Jamie and Joseph's cooking. He stumbled in to the kitchen half conscious. He paused by the door for a second wondering who the two women sitting at the table were. Then he remembered that they were his new teammates.
"Good morning." The looks they gave him reminded him of the times he had called Leena "babe." It took all his will not to run screaming from the room. Pierce and Katie were not morning people. Bit sat down and waited for Jamie to come out with breakfast. Soon Leena entered and sat down next to Bit and leaned against him. Next was Brad, when he did his morning ritual Pierce and Katie looked horrified but when Brad showed no signs of pain and neither Bit nor Leena did anything they relaxed. Doc came in looking like the risen dead. He sat down and soon Jamie and Joseph came out with the food and everyone dug in. At this point Naomi and Leon walked in they were dressed to leave.
"We're going. I want to thank you for letting Rain come with us. We will watch over her always." Naomi said.
"We know you will." Doc said. "Take care you two."
"Rain should be able to tell you everything you need to know. But if there are any problems feel free to call and ask." Bit said around a mouthful of food.
"Bit. Chew your food." Everyone laughed at Leena's remark.
Before they left Brad took Naomi aside for a moment and they talked in private. When questioned as to what it was about all he would say was that they had made plans. Bit teased him until Brad hit him in the arm.
After they had eaten everyone helped Pierce and Katie repair their zoids. But Jamie's Reinos was beyond the repair abilities of the base, so he and Bit took it into a professional zoid repair shop. When they got there they were told that the Reinos could not be fully repaired, there could be a quick and temporary fix but the strain that had been put on the zoid during the fight with Pierce had been to much. They said that Jamie would be lucky if the Reinos lasted through their next battle.
Jamie was heart broken, he had already lost one zoid because Doc sold it, and was not eager to have it repeated. But it was more than that he had a bond with the zoid that allowed him to push it beyond it's supposed limits, that was how he had gotten it to move so fast in the last battle.
"Hey we'll work something out. I'm sure that everyone will try to find a way to help." Bit patted Jamie on the back. Bit turned back to the technician that they had been talking to. "We'll take the quick fix for now." Bit paid and they left to return tomorrow to pick up the Reinos.

HinoMitsukai: ...must ... eat ...poptarts... gah..
Tawanos: *wearing dark glasses* your mind tricks will not work on me. *Takes out pack of pop tarts and begins munching on them*
Next time: Jamie goes into his room and refuses to come out, and there are TWO voices coming from inside????? When Jamie does come out he has the perfect plan for his last battle in the Reinos. Next time in Chapter 15: Battle Plans
