Chapter 2: The battle occurs.

"This is my twin brother Larry." (Ahhh, Harry, Larry, and Mary, scary.) Harry said calmly. "He's down to help me defeat Bit so I can take you on a date Leena my love."

"Your love?" Tatany asked weirdly. "Which one is your lover boy?"

"What are you talking about!" Leena screamed. "I don't love either one of them!"

"I think we better leave Harry." Larry said slightly. "We have a battle to win. And can I add one more catch to if we win?"

"Oh god!" Leena hollered while shifting her death-piercing glare from Harry to Larry. "What now?"

"If we do win." He started. "And we will, Harry will take you Miss Leena, but I want the other girl."

"Huh?" Tatany said raising her head. She had ignored more than half the conversation. "What are you talking about?"

"You got yourself a deal!" Doc chimed in. "If we win, you'll give us triple the prize money offered earlier though. But if you win the girls are yours for one night."

"WHAT?!" Both girls scream. "BIT! YOU BETTER NOT MAKE US LOSE!"

"Uhhh." Bit said cautiously. "Uhh. Hey." Bit said as he stood up straight. "You are talking to Bit Cloud. The best zoid pilot around. Remember?"

"You?" Tatany asked. "Best pilot? I'm gonna prove you wrong on that note. Let's mobilize. I want to kick these guy's asses."

"That's a mouth." Leena said as she looked from Bit to Tatany. "Who taught you how to speak?"

"My pops." Tatany said as she ran to her zoid. "Now come on. We have a battle to win."

"I'm with yah there." Bit yelled as he jumped into the Liger zero. "Set us up to go Doc."

"All right. Ready to mobilize?"

"Brad here. Ready to mobilize." The command wolf mobilized and shot out onto the battlefield. "Tatany here. HellDiver, ready to fight." The HellDiver shot out and landed gracefully, soon followed by the liger zero. "So Harry? What new zoids have you got for us to tear apart today?" Bit asked as Harry popped up on the vid screen.

"Looks like three dark horns." Tatany replied. "You have all that money and all you ca buy is dark horns?"

"With heavy ammo." Larry said as he pooped up on her vid screen. "Hello you…"

"Hey look." Tatany said as she pointed off in the distance. "It's the judge. Get ready for a good fight boys. You're going to need money for the hospital bill your going to get."

"Tatany." Brad hollered as he listened to her. "You are a really bitchy."

"What?" Tatany said as a sad look crossed her face. "Are you telling me to be nice?"

"Oh hell no." Brad replied as he waited to hear the judge's command. "But you are going to make a perfect pilot." He looked away from the vid screen and whispered 'And an even better girl for some lucky guy.'

"Did you say something Brad?" Bit asked as he was listening to the conversation as well.

"Huh?" Brad said with a slight blush creeping over his cheeks. "Oh no. Just waiting for the judge."

"Battle mode 0998. Area scanned. Battle setup. Ready. Fight." The judge bellowed and all six zoids went at it. Benjamin was piloting the smallest dark horn and was a prefect target for personal points, so Brad had a little bit of fun. Tatany had already blasted Larry's dark horn off of the field, and Bit and liger were purposely making Harry's head spin by playing tricks of "Catch us if you can.' "BIT!" Brad yelled through the com. Link. "Finish him off!"

"No kidding." Tatany said as she opened the wings of her zoids and threw on the booster and stopped in mid air above Harry and Bit. "If you don't finish this now, I'll finish it for you."

"I love that zoid!" Doc screamed as he watched the battle. "It can fly, just like the Rainos."

"Give me a break Doc." Jaime said as he rubbed his temples. "You do know your screaming in my ear. That does kinda hurt."

Bit turned to Harry and charged at him. "STRIKE LAZOR CLAW!" He screamed as he hit the dark horn taking it out.

"The battle is over." The judge replied. "The battle is over. The winner is…The blitz team."

"Hey doc." Tatany chimed in. Her brightly smiling face appearing on the vid screen. "So how much do I get paid?"

"We'll talk about that later." Doc replied scratching his head. "Come on in so we can settle a price with Harry." Everyone came inside the hover cargo, including the badly beaten Harry and Larry. "So how much was it again Harry?" Brad asked as he watched Tatany bound into the room than stop on a dime.

"Didn't he promise triple the prize money?" Leena asked as her face got a streak of confusion. But it disappeared just as fast as it came. "Oh no, wait. Oh my, oh me. Harry dear. You promised us ten times the normal amount, didn't you sweetie?"

"I," He stuttered. "I did?"

"Of course Harry." Leena answered back. "You said you would pay us that much so I could get a new zoid." She gave him a big smile and a wink. He blushed and nodded.

Tatany's face was one of complete shock when she saw this whole thing unfold. "Oh me, oh my, she sure knows how to hold a guy under her thumb, doesn't she Bit?"

"You could take a few lessons." Leena said as she leaned her head on Tatany's shoulder. "You could probably get that Larry guy to stop staring at you."

"That guy just creeps me out." Jaime said as he was kinda standing next to the two girls, doing a little bit of eavesdropping. "What do you think you should do Tatany?"

"Oh gee Jaime," She started. "I don't know, maybe I should just walk up to Brad or Bit and kiss them. What do you think."

"Oh really." Leena said as she straightened up and walked in front of her. Her red hair looking like bright burning fire in the iridescent lighting. "Actually. I think you should. I would love to see his face."

Tatany got the biggest smirk on her face and giggled hysterically. "Oh Brad." She called as she skipped over to him. "Yeah Tat…" He was abruptly cut off as she snaked a hand behind his head, tangling her limber fingers in long hair, and pressed her lips against his. His breath caught in his throat and he felt her lips form a small grin. He scanned the room, looking for who was noticing this, and saw Larry's mouth gaping wide open, his hands stretched out ready to grab Tatany. 'That's it!' He thought. 'She just wanted him off her case. Well. I guess it wouldn't hurt to play along. He started to kiss her back and kept peeking glances at Larry.

"Ok you two." Larry finally choked out as he grabbed Tatany's hand and pulled her away. "Hands off my girl."

"Who's your girl Larry?" Tatany asked blindly looking around, a smirk playing her face. "All I see is you and… What is that? Is. Is that your ego?"

Tatany released herself from his grip and grabbed Brad's hand and ran out of the room, giggling like a giddy schoolgirl. "Tatany." Larry called after her. "Where are you going?"

Tatany pain no head and kept running till the reached an empty room. Tatany pressed her back up against a wall, took a glance at Brad's shocked face, and just couldn't hold it back any longer, she grabbed her sides and started to laugh hysterically. "God that was good!" She cried out between laughs. "Did you see his face?"

"I saw it. But why exactly was it me you had to kiss. Now I'm going to be getting e-mails galore telling me to stay away from his girl."

"Ahh, poor baby. Tell yah what. I'll tell Larry, or was it Harry?"

"Larry. Harry's the one after Leena."

"Ok Larry. I'll tell him I'm not with you and we can go back to the lives we had before the kiss."

"You sure? That kiss was kinda tantalizing."

"Don't push your luck hunter. You met me today and you called me a trigger happy little girl. Or do you not remember that?"

Brad looked around the room they were in for a bit and noticed they had made their way into Leena's room. "This is to good to be true."

"What is Brad?"

"This is Leena's room. And if I'm right. She holds a diary in here somewhere."

"Oh no buddy." Tatany said grabbing his hand and pulling him back towards her. "You are not going prying through her stuff." She finally noticed she yanked a little to hard and pulled Brad right into her. If anyone saw them right now, it would look as though the dark blonde mercenary had the new ashen blonde pilot pinned to the wall. Brad was at least half a head taller than she was so he had to look down. He found that they were still holding hands and he quickly let go. "Uhh Brad?"

"Yeah?" He asked, quickly snapping himself back to reality.

"Can you get your hip off of me please? That kinda hurts."
