Chapter
8
"So you plan to tell them?"
Rai and Cloud were in a green army jeep, speeding through the desert, kicking up a large dust trail behind them. Cloud was the one driving and had heard Rai's question, through the loud noise the jeep's engine is making.
"Yeah I am. They deserve to know what that thing was." Cloud answered.
"Heh, suit yourself, in my case there might be some issue with the faces don't you think?" Rai smirked at the chaos that would make. There's hardly a difference between Bit Cloud and Bit Cloud McCloud, physically. Not that he was a psychic; he thought of their mind also the same.
"Oh, yeah…" Cloud frowned.
They continued along the dusty track towards the city, where the Blitz team awaits and still shocked. Cloud still remembered it clearly……
Flashback
Cloud was rocking in his liger zero cockpit when he heard the blades slicing through the gigantic Gojulas. But that didn't take notice when the whole Gojulas exploded, while Cloud was still the insides of its body. Cloud rocked around again inside the cockpit. When he felt it was all over, he was on the ground, the nuclear warhead in his front. He steered the liger to pick it up and started running, running as fast as he can.
"Bit you still there?" Cloud asked over the comm link.
"Uh uh, yeah I am, now what?" Bit asked, his voice sort of from a surprised state.
Cloud's view cleared and he saw the other liger racing to the desired location.
"Bit, I need you to catch this thing and dump it on the coordinates I sent you." Cloud said, sadness in his voice as he saw his control system emitting unwanted sparks. Cloud caught up with the liger to pass the warhead to the other liger. Bit caught it with the liger's mouth and then boosted away.
Cloud stopped his zoid down. Before he could sigh, the zoid's feet crumbled down and then collapsed, along with the body. Sparks flew out of the armor of the liger, and then nothing. Cloud's screen went blank.
"Great, command system freeze."
……… outside, ZBC Rescue Hammerheads arrived to get the pilots and their zoids to safety. One of the hammerheads went boosting towards the Jager to ensure it's travel towards the designated coordinates, which was a mine shaft. Fiona and Tsunami were both at high altitudes, screening down the planet below them. High enough to avoid any sudden winds from the explosion, that may cause them to crash.
The Jager came in the shaft's entrance and continued down, the wing like support of the Jager armor broke off the moment it entered. Bit saw a mine cart further down below and then dropped the warhead in and pushed it forcefully, making the mine cart and its load go fast downwards. Bit turned around quickly and ran off.
Cloud was now guessing of two things, either Bit didn't make it or he did make it, it was all in chance. Then he felt it, a shockwave on the ground.
The warhead blew off, imploding the mine in, and the mountain along with it. Dust and dirt kicked up at the force of the explosion. Bit was still running for his life. The shockwave caught up with Bit, driving him to a stop and spreading the dust all over the Jager.
Hours later, everyone in the battle got out and was confined to the hospital, those who weren't injured were sent back to their homes or transports. Another couple of hours, the team's zoids were rescued and were given to special authorities for further inspection. In the ZBC reports; the Fury and the MDT's Liger Zero Blade Jaeger received more damage than most of the other zoids in the battle, minus the surprise enemy zoids. The Fury suffered electrical shocks, the paint on the zoid's armor was totaled, and some of it was even peeling off. The zoid's eyes were a dull red. The Liger Zero was an even battered condition. It received scratches, broken armor, dents and bullet holes. Although it can still run, it still needed a fresh new set of ion boosters, a few leg reinforcement, some change in the armor, plating up broken armor parts and ammo. The Blade Jaeger armor, was totaled, the blades were mostly broken, 6 of them were broken while the others are totally shattered. The Ion Booster on the armor set was burned up, meaning it needs a new set of those. On the other bad hand, the Berserk fury might not survive anymore, most of its vital parts are either almost unrepairable or unswitchable with other parts.
Flashback end-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud had to feel sorry to the Berserk Fury of the Blitz Team, knowing the extent of the damage is severe, it might not make it with the technology planet Zi has. But, if he had the right equipment, it can be done so easily. Since he doesn't, he just doesn't know what to do.
Both of them arrived at the hospital were most of the Blitz Team warriors are in. Vega Obscura, pilot of the Berserk Fury, was electrocuted and was still at bed and paralyzed. Jamie, the pilot of the Raynos, had some several arm fractured bones, mostly on the right side of his body. His head did receive minor bumps, but it wasn't that bad. Pierce was in for a broken leg because of the way she did her emergency landing, which ended up nose first. She did receive a few scratches when the ZBC rescue team broke into her canopy, because it was locked in the inside. Leena had some ribs broken but it wasn't that bad. Bit Cloud was in for some scratches and some broken ribs, the doctor said to him that he shouldn't pilot for a while. The MDT team however didn't have to go in the hospital to the Blitz surprise.
Although, Cloud and Rai received a few scratches but no broken bones whatsoever. Rai had several band-aids on, mostly around his right face, above the eye. He had his right arm also bandaged, from what it looks like fire burns. It wasn't really that serious but it was still treated. Cloud on the other hand had more scratches than Rai. His canopy blew open by itself, after the nuclear shockwave, sending him away from the zoid. When the emergency system kicked on, Cloud had to hit the canopy screen, breaking it and causing lots of head injuries to him. He mostly had his forehead wrapped with bandage. A band-aid right below his right eye, a patch a little below his mouth and a small band-aid above his left eyebrow.
"Uh excuse me, mam." Cloud was in the receptionist's table of the hospital, "But can you tell me where Bit Cloud is? I need to talk to him."
The receptionist looked up from her daily newspaper, where the nuclear explosion was the headline. "Oh, I saw them go and saying to get some drinks." She then looked at her time, " I guess they should be at a bar near here."
Cloud nodded, "Thank you." And he proceeded outside the hospital. He looked around from the entrance and saw a bar, it was small, but still was a drinking place.
He then proceeded to the bar entrance. He stopped and thought for a while. He sighed at the result of this conversation, if there will be one at all……
