Zoids: True Love Always Hurts.
A/N Uh-oh…Its been nearly a year since I stopped writing on this. For those of you who used to read it, I want to sincerely apologize. I just seemed to have forgotten about the story. When I came back, I was just so full of ideas for new novels that my other stories were just pushed aside. I was going through my stories this night and found this one. I could say I felt terrible as I read it and saw everyone's hopes for the next chapter to come which it never did. Like I said, I'm really sorry and I promise to do my best, even if I have to sacrifice other projects…..Thanks for reading and for giving me your great support.

Now, if you guys will accept my apologies, here is the next chapter….
Chapter 9
Bit looked at Leena's eyes who were still shedding tears. "Leena, its just that…if I return, you will--" Leena backed off. "What? Are you planning on leaving me again, Bit? Is this what my love meant to you, fun and games!" Bit shook his head. "No, no. I truly love you, Leena. But my damage to you is irreparable. I…I fear I might lose you and have no where to go." Leena looked at him and shook her head as she stared at the floor. "If you do, then love me. Love me again, Bit Cloud and I promise I'll be there for you." Before Bit said anything, Leena locked her second kiss with him.
Bit walked out from the base still thinking what had happened. "Girl problems, Bit?" Jamie smiled. "Yea, you could say that. Jamie, I need you help. My liger…its core has been messed with and now I can't pilot it." Jamie stopped chewing his gum and stood away from the wall he was leaning on. "You lost Liger Zero?" Bit shook his head. "No, he was taken from me. By my enemies friends." Jamie looked at his glare towards the floor and nodded continuing his chewing habit.
"I see what you mean now, its like a completely new liger." Bit nodded and looked at Leon who seemed like he wanted to beat someone up at the precise moment. "You know something, Bit. The day I found out you tamed liger, I was jealous because I wasn't able to myself. That is why I left the Blitz team, to become a good pilot like you. Now seeing liger like these, it seems that perhaps, it shouldn't never left the base." Bit thought of his words like a warning more than a story. His point was clear, Liger was still no ones property.
Leena walked into her room and closed the door behind her. She had many things to think about. Bit being back brought forth problems but promises and a stop to her suffering. But why had he left? Was his love really too much for her getting hurt, or was it he did not rust her skills as a pilot. Her eyes widened as she remember their meeting wit the Perfect. Then images of the team they had been schedule to fight the after Bit left. It would have been the end of them.
Lurking in her bed, she looked at a picture they had gotten taken at a small town long ago. A picture that showed how much they loved each other where their hands were closed tight and their lips locked. She cried as she saw it but had to stop her tears as someone knocked on her door. "Leena?" The girl got up and looked at Naomi. "Hey. I heard Bit's back. Are you going to forgive him?" Leena smiled. She and Naomi had become close friends since Bit left and she moved in after Brad begging her too at least until her wounds healed. Since then, Brad and Naomi's love became public.
"You could say I did, Naomi. Because I love him and it will just hurt me more to let him go again." Naomi smiled and gave her friend a hug to reassure her that she was there for anything she needed. Doc came in and looked at Leena with eyes of fear. "Leena, gather the team. We have a match." Leena looked at Naomi surprised since they had gotten themselves taken out of the S club after their disintegration as a team. Now, a match?
Bit's pocket began to shake softly and he knew it was his cell. "Yea?" After hearing a few words, Jamie could tell by his expression that it was not good. "Trouble?" He asked once Bit hanged up. "Worse. Doc is in a big dilemma. "So you see, team, if we don't show up for this match, we will be fined with--" Bit came taking everyone's attention to him. "Bit." he looked at Brad who glared back. "I know, Doc told me. And I am willing to help out on one condition. Brad looked at Leena who's eyes were wet and lips trembling. "That the blitz reforms as a team."
Brad chuckled and got stood up. Bit looked at him like he was in a sort of shock. "Well, in that case, I need you to do something first." Brad looked at Leena who was still staring at Bit. "I want you to apologize to her right now and tell her how much you lover her." Everyone looked at Brad as if he was some sort of judge and that was his verdict. "Brad, you--" Bit took a step forward and everyone looked with suspense written all over their faces. "I will."
Leena felt her whole body tremble with all sorts of excitement. What was he going to say to her? That was her main question roaming around her mind. "Leena. As I look at you I feel terrible to have ever taken your heart and have it broken later. I…loved you since we practically met, Leena. And even though my character was not the one to show it, I always love being with you. Now, I have to ask you something. After all I've done and said, Leena Toros…will you…marry me?"
The whole company looked at Bit as if he had just predicted the future. In his hand shone a case with a beautiful sapphire stone in it. "I…I will, Bit!" they both kissed and everyone felt it deep in their hearts so much, they had to clap for them to hide the emotions rising to their face. "Thanks, Leena. For giving me a second chance." Both hugged and just enjoyed each other's company for the rest of the day.
The day ended and the new one began but not as a happy one like it should, but rather saddened as Doc got his old look back. "Bit, in two weeks, we have to face IT in order to be kept registered in the global battle system. If we don't, we will lose our Zoids and be fined." Bit twitched his lip. "Are they good?" Doc tried his best to hide the fear. "They were the ones who killed Naomi's Red Gun Sniper. Bit's eyes widened and Brad came in hence he had just heard the words as well. "If you don't want to face them, I will, Doc." Toros smiled, "its not that, Brad. I fear for Leena and Naomi. They will have to fight, too." Bit punched the wall next to Doc Toros face. "Damn it!" Brad shook his head feeling his anger. "I know, Bit, but…we will have to take a risk."
Bit looked at Brad. "We are fighting Mange and his friend, Jesse, Brad. They are the IT." Brad looked at his friend as if he had just lied. "But, aren't they wanted criminals?" Bit shook his head. "Destroying a Zoid in battle does not damage them, and their past crime, it was too long ago and has probably been forgotten about." All three man stood there thinking of the possibilities. Of the future. At what they were risking to keep their pride and machines with them….
