A/n: Sorry about the super long delay. I will make them shorter from now on. I just have had some major stupid shit going on my end, I might tell you guys about it sometime. Depends on how many want to know. Well I was also waiting for more reviews, but it's al good I guess.
And it is funny that I was mentioned as sounding like Rai Kinoshin. I know her personally and we are really good friends. I go over to her house sometimes and chill. She is trying to get a book published right now kinda cool. But I may sound a little like her because writing is our hobby and we rely on each other as critics. So that may be why.
And before I start the chapter I will ask you, please... if you read please review. I am not going to threaten you or anything, but, if you read and fail to review I hope you fall down a flight of long, jagged, concrete stairs. Well enjoy. : )

Chapter 2: The Champs

Bit went through the rest of his day fine. Although the Reading teacher said he was in the wrong crowd. She said Kase and Kouri were nuisances, disrupted class and were always late. She said he should hang out with the people Harry Champ hung out with. She said they were the good respectable kids that kept everything in order. Well I can decide on my own after a little bit. He thought as he closed his locker. And as he turned around he saw Harry standing there looking at him. With two guys Kase's size beside him. Speak of the devil, Bit thought.
" Bit. Bit Cloud. May I have a word with you?" Harry asked.
" Yeah sure. What about?" Bit replied. Just talking to the guy couldn't hurt, could it?
" Well actually a few things. The first is about the people you choose to be seen with." He said as he walked closer to Bit. " The people you met today are trash. Lowlifes with no money or respect. They are what you would call nuisances of society. I do believe they told you about their little zoid organization." Harry said.
" They did. What about it?" Bit asked.
" Well they only have their zoids to stop us. They even blindside us and attack us under stealth. We want you on our side. All we need is a little more help and we could run this school. You could have whatever you wanted. So how about it? Do you want to join us?" Harry asked.
" I am going to tell you the same thing I told them. I want to stay in school." Bit said. The first day and everyone wanted him on their side. This school may be worse than the others.
" Oh well no loss. The other thing I wanted to talk to you about was about a girl you meet today. Her name is Leena Tauros. I heard someone caught you looking at her quite a few times today. For future reference do not look at her ever again. She is mine and I will have her." Harry said growing angrier by the second.
" Here is a lesson in women. One, women do not like pricks that go around boasting how good they are. Second they are not owned. You cannot just brand them." Then out of nowhere a fist was coming straight for Bit's face. It was from Harry. Bit dodged it like it was from a child. But his return punch was caught in midair by one of Harry's goons. " I see you have the big guys do all the work because you are a pussy. Who can't even get a girl."
" I have had enough of your lectures..." Harry screamed but Bit cut him off.
" They were actually insults, not lectures." Despite the situation Bit laughed in the face of the other three men.
" Alright. Whatever you want to call them. But you do not want to join us, you insult me and try to steal the one who rightfully belongs to me."
" Whoa whoa whoa. I am not trying to steal anything. I think Leena kind of has a little attitude problem anyway."
" You dare defile Leena Tauros! She is a goddess! I will show you what real pain and punishment is! Myles. Tyler. Dispose of this gutter trash."
" Hey I thought you would show me pain. Not your goons." Bit said but as he finished the two men were upon him. Their muscles bulged with every attempt to hit him. Much good it did them if they could not hit them. Bit was much faster and had way more agility.
" I hope you guys are better with zoids. Because you suck at fist fighting. You could not hit my grandma." Bit taunted. But he spoke too early. As he finished what felt like a brick hit him in the ribs and the force from that slammed him into his locker. He barely had time to recover before a kick landed on his face.
He fell to the ground and the three of his attackers looked down at him. Harry spit at his face but Bit wiped it off quickly.
" Let's finish him guys." Harry said and they all rose their fists but they were all to slow for Bit.
" What say we all go for a trip." Bit said as he propped himself up on his arms and one leg. He kicked as hard as he could and ended up tripping the three of them. He got up quickly and started to punch Harry. One landed on his face but as soon as he raised another fist he was pushed from behind. When he got up there were probably ten more people there.
" It would be unwise to continue fighting now." One of the new guys said.
" Well no shit you fucking genius." Bit said. God these have to be the stupidest people I have ever meet or seen. Bit thought silently
" But we shall continue to punish him. I want to here him cry for his mom. Who is probably gutter trash as well." Harry said getting up.
" What the hell did you say about my mom?" Bit said.
" She is probably gutter trash just like you. Your father is probably another piece of shit." Harry said grinning. He knew he hit something deep. Only he did not know how deep a hole he had just dug.
" You stupid ass bitch. My parents died because of people like you. My dad was protecting my mom when they were killed. Just because some rich man wanted to have fun. My dad protected my mom. They raped her after he was tortured to death. And all the time I had to watch without saying a word or they would have killed me too. You just wait. Your bitches won't always be here." Bit said. This person had made him angrier than anyone had in his life. How could Bit hurt this guy with all his goons? The only way to do it was with help..... Or zoids. And he could get both of those from Kase and Kouri.
The football field. He almost forgot. Great now all I have to do is get there. Curse my luck. He thought but then Harry interrupted his train of thought.
" A pity for your parents. Someone did the world a favor by taking out that trash anyway. And all that matters right now is that my friends are here. Go ahead guys. Have at him." Harry smiled and the group charged at Bit. But Bit was not in the mood for a beating.
He turned around and ran for the first door he found. When he got outside he found the football field easily enough. He ran for it hoping he was not to late. They have to be there. They just have to. Or I might not survive today. Bit kept running and so did his pursuers. He entered the stadium and looked around but no one was in sight.
" God damnit. Can't anything go my way for once?" Bit yelled out loud. He could not keep up this speed for much longer. Might as well take it like a man Bit thought as he turned around. The group stopped and Bit put his fists up, ready to fight. The group burst out laughing at him now.
" So you plan to fight us all by yourself do you?" One of them asked. They continued to laugh as they circled around Bit.
" If I have to I will. But a few of you will come down with me." Bit said but all they did was keep laughing.
" Well boy you are severely outnumbered." The man that spoke started to walk towards Bit. " Well I will make this as fast as possible." He said. But then another familiar voice broke through the air.
" Well if he is outnumbered we will have to make it even out a little." Everyone looked towards where the voice came from. Then in a blur of speed the new arrival speared the man that was speaking. He got up and it was none other that Kase. Behind him Kouri and a few other people ran in towards Bit.
" Hey I had some nice form on that tackle guys." Kase laughed. " You alright kid?"
" Yeah I am alright." Bit said.
" I still think you need to work on your form a little bit." Kouri laughed.
" Yeah it was a little sloppy." One of the other men said.
" Oh great, the long haired faggot is here again." Apparently Kase was called this alot.
" What did you say? Could you speak up?" Kase asked turning back to the man he tackled.
" You heard me bitch." He said and then punched Kase in the face. It barely even moved Kase. He was like a rock.
" A little advice pussies should not fight." Kase said then he decked the guy. It looked like he knocked him unconscious. No one knew what to do until one of Harry's goons spoke up.
"Come on guys we still have to punish this new guy." They all charged but everyone with Kase fought alongside Bit. Kouri stayed close to Bit and fought with him. Kouri was not really strong but he was fast. He was a fighter like Bit. The more time he spent with him the more he realized how much the two were alike.
Not many people got to Bit and Kouri though. Kase was fighting alongside a guy with long brown hair and another with short gray hair. The three of them cleared house. The fight was over in a matter of minutes. During the fight Harry was nowhere to be seen. All of the goons ran away after a good ass kicking though.
" Hey guys. Thanks for saving me and all, but who dealt with Harry?" Bit asked.
" No one did. He is too big a puss to fight." Kouri said.
" Well leave him to me he is mine." Bit said staring back off towards the school.
" So does that mean you will help us then." One of the other men asked.
" Under a few conditions." Bit said.
" Name them and you got them." Kase said.
" I want your complete trust. If you do not let me down I will not let you down. Two I get to use my own zoid. Three I get to fight Harry. He is mine and mine alone. Is that okay?" Bit asked.
" Well if that rich punk hits me I am going to kick his ass." The man with long brown hair said.
" If he hits you I want you to drag him to me." Bit said almost yelling.
" Geeze what the hell did he just do to you?" Kouri asked. All the girls had come up and joined the group now. Rai, Leena, Ai and some others he did not know.
" Well I was on my way here and......." Bit told them of Harry's offer. Of what he had said about Leena. And then what he said about his parents. " So now I live with my uncle. He is the only family I have. And now he is sick. If he dies I have to go to the street." Bit said as a tear started to build up in his eye. He swiped it away, hopefully before anyone saw.
" Well you have us for family. We help each other out in more than just school. We will help your uncle too. Right everyone" Kase said.
" Yeah!" They all shouted in unison.
" With us you have nothing to worry about. We will stay by your side." Kouri said. And all of it sounded sincere. Somehow Bit knew he could trust these people.
" I have been here for about an hour and a half and already have better friends than I have had in my life." Bit said.
" Yes well you did cause quite a commotion in the short time you were here today." Said a new voice. They all turned around quickly with their fists up. But when they saw who it was they all put their hands to their side and let out a short sigh. It was Leon Tauros. The guy Bit had meet earlier.
" Are you alright kid? I got word they were going after you. So we tried to find you but we couldn't." Leon said as Bit realized there was a girl standing next to him. " Then the Champs attacked Naomi and I." He said and then the longhaired guy that fought beside Kase went into a rage.
" WHAT!? Good thing I put a beating on a few of them." He yelled.
" Calm down Brad. Your girl friend is safe." Leon said and then Kase spoke up.
" So are you here to fight us too or what? Or are you still going to give us this neutral crap?" Kase asked.
" We actually came to offer our help as the Fluegal team." Leon replied.
" Sweet. We get three more zoid pilots in one day. And one is Leon! You are like the best. Well one of the best along with most of us anyway." Kouri said as he started to jump around in joy.
" Three? Who else?" Leon asked.
" Me." Bit said.
" You can pilot a zoid?" He asked. And then half the group launched into the story about him and Mr. Fast. " Well I have to go. I will be seeing you all soon. Bit, I would like to zoid battle you one day. You sound like you have a lot of experience." With that he turned and left. Naomi though ran over to Brad and gave him a big hug and kiss.
" Well Bit, like we promised, here is a little more info about us all. We now have four different zoid teams. My team which is the Fallen Angels team." Kase said. " This team is made up of Me, Kouri, Rai, Jade and Ai. The Fluegal team is only Leon and Naomi. The Rebels team is made up of Ben, Katelyn, Jess, Richard and Kyle. The team you will be joining is the Blitz team. It consists of Jamie, Brad, Leena and now you. Is that good for now?" Kase asked.
" Dude what about intros?" The other man who fought with Kase asked.
" Oops my bad. Thanks for reminding me Ben. Well this is Ben. He is in our marching band and our soccer team. He and Brad are my bros. We are almost exactly alike." Bit looked at the three men. They were about the same size. Ben and Brad were practically twins. Except Brad's hair was longer and Ben's hair was gray instead of brown. "Ben Brad and I are all seniors.
" Jess and Katelyn have been good friends most of their life. They are into soccer and boys." Katelyn and Jess had pretty nice bodies but looked totally different. Katelyn had long red hair like Leena's. Except hers was straight while Leena's was wavy. She wore her clothes in a punk fashion. Fishnets, ties she had everything. Even the various safety pins on her clothes. Jess had long black hair. She looked like a Goth because she was decked out in black. They were both sophomores.
" And finally we have Jade. She is really cool and gets along with everyone. But every now and then she will shoot a sarcastic remark at you. But then that is typical of freshman."
" Really. I did not know I was sarcastic." She said with as much sarcasm as possible. She was short and looked totally different then everyone in the group. In fact no one in the group really looked the same save for Brad and Ben.
"Kyle and Richard are usually with us but their Grandmother is very strict so they could not come today. They are twins, but not identical." Kase said.
" Well now you know us all. I guess that is a start. But in order for you to be in our group officially you need to answer one question?" Kase said.
" And what would that be?" Bit asked.
" Rap or Punk Rock?" Kouri asked.
" Punk Rock all the way. I got Blink, GC and mxpx rockin up my room. And if you can tell from those lyrics I am also a simple plan fan."
" Well now you are officially in our group. We do not have a name. Bad to stereotype ourselves with a name. Plus it shows we still have all of our freedom. If you would have been a champ you would have been a slave." Brad said.
" I will never do anything for his punk ass." Bit said.
" Well that is good." Ben replied.
" Oh by the way I have a few more things to tell you. So you do not make anyone mad I will let you know the couples around here. Ben and Katelyn have been with each other for a while. Brad and Naomi are the same way. Jamie and Ai also go out. I have a girl but you can meet her tomorrow. And one more thing, You must not tell anyone about our zoid teams." Kase said.
" Alright no prob." Bit said.
" If you do the rest of the school will hate us and you as well. And that just might help the champs." Brad said.
" And just to let you know we have a base where we keep all of our zoids." Kouri said.
" And where is that?" Bit asked.
" At my house." Leena said. " My dad takes care of them all. He is the only adult who knows about this. His name is Steven Tauros but we all just call him Doc. You will need to get your Zoid to my house soon. Then my dad can make it better." Leena said showing pride in her dad.
" Well I do not think your dad can make this zoid any better." Bit said.
" Doc can improve everything. He practically helped build most of our zoids. Well not Kase. He made his on his own. But it was still mostly plans from Doc. And I helped improve the plans for mine a lot." Kouri said.
" That would have to be one hell of a zoid." Katelyn said.
" Trust me it is." Bit said smiling.
" Well if it is so good why don't you bring it over right now?" Jade asked.
" Give me directions." Bit said. Leena pulled a piece of paper from her bookbag and scribbled something down.
" Here is the address and directions from here. Try not to run into the cops. If they get on your tail it will be hard for us to help." Leena said.
" Alright well I will meet you all there." Bit said. They all ran in the opposite direction of Bit. I will show them what my father left for me. An unbeatable zoid that he made all by himself.

A/N. Well I hope you liked this chapter. I am going to try and keep the chapters this length. Not too short but not long enough to bore you. From now on the characters will be getting more involved and you will get to know them a little better. I hope you don't mind what I did with Bit's past. I thought it was a good idea. Please no flamers. If you flame me I will do everything in my power to ignore what you are saying.
And just to let you know a few chapters are going to be like a songfic later on in the story. If you are not familiar with these bands get familiar with them because they are the most likely candidates for me to use. Simple Plan, MXPX, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Dashboard confessional, Flogging Molly, Newfound Glory, Taking Back Sunday. I even got a few heavy metal songs planned in. Like Mettalica and Korn.
Well I hope you like the story so far. And in the future there will be a kendo tournament. And if you do not know what Kendo is it is a Japanese style of sword fighting. It is really cool. I also decided to put a little more zoid fights in so there will not be a lack of that. So...... yeah. It is like three in the morning and I have a case of insomnia so I am going to go play Virtual Fighter 4.
Well until next time.
