Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids.
Bit and the others walked their zoids through the streets of the city. Kids went awe at the sight of the zoids. All four zoids were unique…in a sense considering that there were only three Lightning Saixes and the Red Blade Liger was very rare. The Shadow Fox and Liger Zero however were one of a kind. "Bit, you sure we're allowed to be walking our zoids in the middle of the city?" Brad questioned. "Don't worry. Serenity is a city that welcomes zoids. In fact, they really don't care. Just as long as you don't cause any mayhem. Haven't you noticed the other zoids walking down the street?" The four passed a Command Wolf. "Erm." Brad groaned because he had noticed them. I mean, who wouldn't have noticed them!"
"Besides, my house has plenty of yard space so we'll be able to park without smashing anything." Said the Zero pilot. "I must say, this place is pretty nice. Kinda small for a city though. What's the population?" Leon asked. "No more then ten thousand. We preferred small cities then big ones. Less crime and a much better place to raise a child. The only problem was that both of my parent's jobs were located in the bigger cities." They saw, at the corner of the street a diner. They turned there, and beside the diner, was a wide and long drive way. Grass surrounded the drive way. At the end of the drive way was a huge burned down house. The yard around it had to be at least two acres. Beside the house was a Shield Liger.
"Who's Liger?" Leon asked as memories of his old Shield Liger came to mind. "My fathers. When we're done here, let's take it with us. I want to keep it in memory of him." The other pilots nodded without a word. They knew what it was like to have something of sentimental value, especially if it belonged to a relative. Leon probably knew this the most out of them.
Leena and her family were sitting down and eating dinner at the local diner. Doc started to chow down on his plate of pasta like he was a starved lion. "Chill Doc. You have plenty of time to eat." Jamie sweated the fact that everyone stared. "So Leena, what all sorts of things are you interested in?" Derek inquired as he kept a lustful eye on the red headed vixen. "Oh you know. Shopping and zoid battles." "I bet you have a lucky boyfriend." "No way." "Are you kiddin? No one would be able to survive a week going out with her." Jamie blurted out and was whacked on the head.
"I bet you have secret admirers." Derek smiled a toothy smile. "I wouldn't exactly call him a secret admirer. More like a thorn in my backside." "What's his name." "Harry Champ." Derek spat out the coffee he was drinking. "You mean the Harry Champ!" "Yeah, he keeps asking me out and I keep turning him down." "Why is that?" "I'm just waiting for the right person to come and sweep me away."
"Hey, isn't that the Liger Zero? Red Blade Liger? Lightning Saix? Shadow Fox!" Derek's eyes almost popped out in amazement. Of course, who's wouldn't when you get to see four rare zoids piloted by very famous pilots. Leena and the others quickly turned around to face the window and there they were. Walking two by two with the Liger Zero slightly ahead of the Red Blade Liger. "Bit?" Was the first word out of Leena's mouth. "So that's the team Brad joined up with." Doc pouted, "A team like that would wipe the floor with us!"
Leena quickly dashed out of the diner with Derek not far behind her. Doc paid the bill and ran after the two with Jamie. The four watched in the shadows as the four zoids stopped in front of a burned down house. 'What's going on? Why is Bit and the others stopping there?' Leena was puzzled. She watched as all four zoid pilots hop out of their zoids. They snuck closer to the house without being noticed. Bit pull out a cell phone, "H.C. We'll be returning with a Shield Liger. Make some room for it. Oh yeah, and before I forget. Bring the Gustav over here."
Bit and the others walked into the burned down house. The door was missing so access was easy. A foul stench filled the air, it almost made Bit barfed but he held it in. He had to find the truth. He had to prove that his father was really assassinated by the Blue Fang Syndicate and discover where they were to make them pay. They proceeded through what was once the living. All of them had flashlights in their hands.
They continued through a hallway until they came to a burned door. "It's stuck." Bit clarified as he tried to open it. "Stand back." Brad dove at the door with his shoulder, knocking it down and falling down a flight of stairs. "That was brilliant." He said a bit sarcastic as he got up and popped his neck. "Remind me to use Bit's hard head as a battering ram next time." The other three stepped down the stairs slowly, checking to make sure they wouldn't give way. Unknowing to them, they had a group of followers. "So this is your basement. Kinda dull." Brad looked around. "Man does this place gives me the creeps." Jack shivered a bit.
"If you think this is scary. Wait until you see Bit piss Leena off. You'll have nightmares." Leon joked. 'Why you. I'll get you brother.' Leena growled mentally as they looked down the stairs at the four men who were searching the place. "So what are we looking for anyways?" Leon asked. Jack leaned against the far wall and went into a trance of thought. Before he knew it, the wall gave way and he ended up down a flight of stairs. "That." Said Brad as the three ran down the stairs after Jack.
"At least now my pride isn't the only one that's hurt at the moment." said the long haired mercenary. "I'd make you eat those words but right now I'm going to wish for a medic." They stared around the room. It looked like no one had been down there in years, much less a fly. Or a fire might I add. In the corner was a desk with a strange circular machine on it. Against the right wall was a computer with a pile of folders beside it. A desk to their right with a bunch of papers on it and a door that's open to reveal a room specifically used to develop photos. "This must have been father's crime lab." Bit stated the obvious.
"Good. We might be able to find some evidence in here." Jack said as the split up. Jack walked over to the computer and started to look at the documents in it while Leon checked the folders beside it. Brad sat at the desk and started to rummage through the papers. Bit walked over to the table in the corner and stared at the circular device. Beside it was a golden locket. He opened it, there was a picture of him when he was younger. Behind him was his mother and father. They were all smiling a truly happy smile. This brought tears to Bit's eyes for memories started to come back. Memories of the day that picture was taken.
"Dammit! We need to find some information! We can't let them murder my parents and get away with it!" Bit punched the table in anger. To his surprise, the device activated when he did it. A hologram of his father appeared. "Ahem." The hologram said. Brad and the others stopped what they were doing and walked over to where Bit was and stared at it. Behind them, hiding in the doorway was Leena and the others staring ahead. They could clearly see the hologram since it was bigger then a normal human.
"Bit, if you're seeing this now then it must mean that I am dead." The hologram said as he started to walk in place a bit, "My son. I know it must be hard growing up without a father. You're probably all grown up by now. A wonderful man. With kids no doubt. Beautiful children. And a great zoid pilot. Yes, a zoid pilot. I remember when you were just a kid you'd always dream about owning your own zoid and becoming the greatest pilot ever." Bit stared as tears started to come to his eyes. "You're probably wondering why I had the need to make something like this. The truth is, I decided to take a case. A very important case dealing with a general's sudden death. During the case I discovered some important information that was needed to be presented to the royal courts. A powerful terrorist group was behind the murder. The general had double crossed them and so he paid with his life. I looked deeper then what I should have. I discovered that the group was planning on reviving the Death Suarer. A powerful zoid that at one time almost destroyed the world. In the past, we were lucky that the zoid wasn't at full power. For the army of the republic was able to take it down the a little outside help. But at full power, none would be able to stand up to it. None that is, except an Ultimate X. In the past, there were Organoids. But they eventually permanently fused with zoids to create Ultimate Xs. A zoid capable of learning and remembering past battles to grow stronger. But, they lose their added speed and power given by a Organoid able to leave the zoid." Bit's father sat on a holographic chair, "This permanent fusing gave the zoid something better. Something that a Organoid who temporarily fused could never give. And that is the power I call 'Full Potential'. The power gives the zoid incredible power. More power then even the Death Suarer. But, there is a catch. The pilot must be have the ability to call upon this power. If it is used though, it could kill them. However, I'm not sure if a pilot with that kind of ability still exists anymore. If that is true, then the Death Suarer cannot be stopped if it is revived and all life on Zi will…cease to exist. Bit, my son, you must stop the Blue Fang Syndicate from accomplishing their goals. They wish to use it to bring the world on its knees but the Death Suarer cannot be controlled!"
Everyone was speechless, what could they say? The fate of the world now rested on their shoulders. And as far as they knew, there was only two Ultimate X pilots and two Ultimate Xs. Liger Zero and Berserk Fury with Bit and Vega as the pilots. But Vega couldn't be the pilot, he could barely control the Berserk Fury. And neither could Bit. Could he?
'Oh Bit.' Leena cried mentally. She truly felt sorry for him. The last time she felt sorry for him was when they found out he was piloting an Ultimate X for they knew how dangerous they were. But now she just found out about his parents and the burden placed upon his shoulders. All those cracks she made, those really hurt him deeply. She probably made him hate her for life. But she didn't know. How could she have known? Bit never talked about his past with anyone.
"My son, I'm sorry for placing such a heavy burden on you. Truly I am. But you are the only one I can trust to do this. Take care of your mother for me. And remember. Bit, you make me proud." Bit dropped to his knees. "Good bye, my son." The hologram disappeared. "Father. Don't leave me!" Everyone looked bewilder at the once cocky zoid pilot who was now on his knees crying. "Let's take these files and leave Bit alone for a bit." Leon ordered. The other two acknowledged and they did just that. Leena and the others quickly ran out of the house to be seen. "Poor Bit. I can hardly imagine how much he is hurting right now." Leon sighed as a Gustav pulled up with a flatbed attached to it.
Brad hopped into the Shield Liger, "Well, all we can do is help him get revenge and stop the Blue Fang Syndicate." "There will be no money involved. You two do realize that right?" Leon glanced at Jack and then at Brad who parked the Shield Liger on the Gustav. "Like I said before. Bit has taught me that there are more things in life then money." Brad smirked. "Bit is facing a powerful foe. So he'll need a powerful ally. Besides, if I don't help and you three get creamed I'll feel bad." Said Jack as he parked his Lightning Saix beside the Shield Liger. Minutes later Bit walked out of the house. Around his neck was the locket and in his eyes burned a new desire.
