Ch. 5
The injury was slightly opened after the doctor had finished with him. Bit smiled as they told him the news about his soon recovery. It seemed like it was forever in the hospital. Adding to the fact this was his second time being there.
Leena jumped as Bit came through the elevator doors onto the waiting room.
"Hey, guys, why the faces?" everyone turned to see him and laughed.
"Well, since when were you out, Bit?" asked Brad as he stretched.
"About an hour ago, they were just doing final stuff. Anyways, shall we?"
They all nodded as they headed down the corridor finally leaving the place
"This is not good!" complained Jamie as the team came in.
"What's not good, Jamie? I mean, Bit just out the hospital" said Leena cheerfully as she walked ahead of them and noticed why Jamie was gloomy.
"It can't be!"
Everyone looked at the screen and showed similar faces to Jamie's and Leena's. It clearly meant bad news as they read the info that was being transmitted. Bit stared as Brad ran outside leaving in his Shadow Fox in mere seconds.
"But…how?" asked Leena as the rest took a seat in the small control room.
"It just doesn't make sense, why would someone destroy a Zoid like that? Its just not right!" Leena couldn't stop looking at the red Gun Sniper that was in fire burning slowly.
"Someone call an ambulance!"
Everyone stared as Brad came in with a badly hurt Naomi in arms. Her blouse was covered in red and her arms with hard bruises that were impossible to describe what had caused them.
Leena placed her hand on her mouth as she saw the scene then turned back to the images of the Gun Sniper. "It was Naomi who was inside that Zoid!"
Brad placed her on the sofa as he rushed for the first aid.
"Aren't we facing the same team she faced today?" asked Leena as with a worried tone. She looked at Bit with a nervous expression which she got back from him. Slowly she made her way towards him with everyone rushing around.
"Bit, I'm not sure how this happened or why, but I have a terrible feeling its going be us next"
Bit placed his arms around her holding her tight as he kept his glare on the now burnt machine that still displayed on the screen. Then he noticed it. A foot print of a similar Zoid he had seen. But where?
"Bit, help me mover her" interrupted Brad.
Bit released his thought and Leena to rush towards Brad as he began his hold on Naomi.
"Where is that ambulance, Jamie?!"
The young fighter came in fast "They sent one about ten minutes ago, it should be here al…"
A loud blast interrupted the conversation and made the base shake down to its foundations. In the hangar, the walls crumbled softly as pieces of it fell to the floor. The Zoids roared as they locked their weapons around them for any trouble. Bit came in and didn't hesitate to climb Liger.
"Where are you going?!" yelled Leena as she came into the hanger.
"To fight Jesse, Leena! I'm tired of him and his friend; Mange"
Leena shook her head "You will just end up getting hurt, Bit! You're still recovering and besides, what do they want with you?"
"Listen… When I was with Jesse and Mange, we did something we never even thought of doing. Something that affected our lives in every aspect and is unforgettable until today. We committed a murder, Leena! Even though I was not part of it, Jesse blames me as so. Though we managed to escape, Jesse was caught a year later and sentenced for five years"
The walls shook once more and Bit shoved Leena inside so she wouldn't end up beneath one of the falling pieces of the base.
"I know I'm as guilty for being present in it as so is Mange, but we had escaped back then and we were still teens of only 16 and 17. I was still just in high but due to Jesse's deed, I was searched for which denied my way for further study and not even being able pilot a Zoid"
Leena felt a trace of water in her face as she saw Bit's was doing the same. She pulled him close and rested on his chest as Bit build up more courage to continue revealing his past.
"Even a year after that, I decided to change my paperwork or get caught trying. I knew it was my only way out of that mess. Luckily, I became friends with the janitor of that place. He helped me one night to get in and destroy my part of the case making me free. I was about to look for Mange's file as well, but the time was limited and didn't let me. I hid with that man helping him to gather parts for resale as my gratitude. That was when I came across you and the Blitz"
Leena caressed his face softly as he took her hand holding it close to him.
"That is my Past, Leena, a dark past no one knew about" Bit released her hand and held her close so she was just inches apart. He closed his eyes as their lips locked in a passionate way. Leena felt something strange this time. Like it was his last kiss.
Bit took her softly away from him breaking the moment.
"I'm sure this is not the only way out, Bit"
Bit shook his head as he took her hand once more "Perhaps not, but I don't want to risk any lives especially yours" he stared deep into her violet eyes which were now overwhelmed with tears.
She shook her head "They want to kill you, Bit, don't go out there! I don't want to lose you as well!"
Bit kissed her one last time and ran out of the base locking the hangar door behind him. Inside, he could hear Leena's pounding to get out.
"I love you Leena, and I'm sorry I have to do this"
Liger was already expecting Bit as he lowered his front end.
"This may be our last run, buddy, let's make it worth something"
Liger roared as they headed into battle.
"Nice of you to join us, Bit C…"
Liger didn't hesitate and tackled Mange who managed to only see Bit already firing onto Jesse's Zoid.
"Do you really think you can take us, Cloud? Why not join us in…"
Bit kept his silence and continued fighting them.
"Liger, you know what to do"
The determined Zoid charged towards Jesse followed by a slash of his claw.
"Damn you!" swore Jesse.
Bit turned Liger around hard and begin his charge towards Mange who soon had the same destiny as his friend.
"Look at Bit go!"
The team were all cheering Bit on while Doc was still trying to get in contact with him. No one saw Leena's entrance.
Bit looked at both Zoids then slashed the cabins of both braking the glass and releasing its pilots who were now unconscious.
"I'll miss you all very much" came Bit's voice and image through the screen finally.
"What are you t…"
"I just want to let you know that I had the best part of my life with you guys, I will always cherish that. You gave me a new life and a great Zoid. Doc, in my room are my savings, take them as the final pay for Liger"
The tearful girl looked up to the screen as she saw Bit's face one last time.
"Leena… I will always love you even though I will not be able to be by your side anymore"
Brad widened his eyes as he began to understand Bit's words.
"Bit Don't…"
The screen blinked off as he heard Brad's last words.
"I will truly miss you all…" said Bit once the connection had broken
Liger lowered his head then turned around knowing it was their last run in the end. Their last run with The Blitz Team…
