Zoids Soul Society

Chapter 2: Hollow in the Battlefield

Bit and his friends were in a dark battle with the Back Draft Team. Heavy rain was drenching Bit's Liger Zero. Suddenly, behind them was appeared something long, and then disappeared when Bit turned his Liger Zero. From the other side, he heard someone screaming. It was a girl's voice that not too far from Bit. He drove his Liger Zero and found her in the red Geno Saurer cockpit, with a strange creature with large and long body squeezed the Geno Saurer. After that, the Geno released a strong electric from it body and hurt that creature.

Bit speaks in, "Hey, are you alright… Hah?! Leena?!"

"Bit! Help me…!" Leena shouted as her Geno freed itself from the creature. That creature looks bit same like a creature that Bit attacks last afternoon. It have big hole in it body.

"Bastard monster!! I won't let you to hurt Leena…! Do what you have to do, Liger Zero! Strike… Laser… Claws…!" yelled Bit as the Liger's claws glowing and slashed to that creature, but it missed. "Shit! It never happens to us!" Bit grumbled.

"Bit…! Aaahhh…!" Leena screamed, as the monster slams it body to the red Geno Saurer.

"No…! Leena…!" Bit screamed, he gained his consciousness and gasped. He made everyone else jumped. Remember? He's suddenly unconscious after battling with a monster right?

Everybody in Bit's room was silent. After few moments later, Jamie and Rukia began giggling. Brad and Ichigo were clearing their throat with a small chuckle. Doc chuckled, and Leena blushed.

"Gasp…Is… everyone… Ok?" Bit asked with his eye widen, still gasped because of his bad dream.

"What are you talking about, Bit…?! We're here waiting for your consciousness! You was suddenly fainted five hours ago, and later you've gained your consciousness with this way?!" Leena asked harshly, her cheeks still blushed.

Bit began to blush. He threw himself to the bed again, and hiding under the pillow. He felt embarrassed. "Oh, what a shame… I've called her name loudly?!" he thought.

At the next day, Blitz Team will introduce their new zoids to the Battle Union and of course, their opponent, Champ Team. The Liger Zero, the red Geno Saurer, the Konig Wolf, and the Salamander entered the Hover Cargo. Ichigo and Rukia enter to the Hover Cargo too. After a few minutes, they arrived to the scheduled battlefield. From left to right, there was Sebastian inside the Rev Raptor, Harry Champ with his customized Dark Horn, and Benjamin in the Stealth Viper.

Bit, Leena and Brad will battle against them. The Liger Zero, Konig Wolf, and the red Geno Saurer jumped out from the Hover Cargo's catapult. Before the battle began, Brad and Leena registered their zoids as the Blitz Team's battle zoid. Harry, Sebastian and Benjamin only gaped at those hot-rod zoids.

"Hi, Harry! Long time no see!" Bit said cheerfully.

"Where did you have those zoids yourself?!" asked Harry astonished.

"We'll answer your question after we beat you!" Leena replied with full of spirit.

"The area within 30 miles radius was designated as the zoids battlefield. This zone is now restricted; only competitors and authorized personnel have authorized entry. Danger. All others must leave this area immediately."

Meanwhile, In the Hover Cargo…

"So, this is the zoids battle after all," Rukia said.

"Hey, Jamie! Why don't you participate to that zoids battle?" Ichigo asked.

"I'm assisting Dr. Toros here. Or just say… the backup warrior. Yes, that's it," Jamie said as he shrugs his shoulders.

Back to the battlefield…

"Area scanned. Battlefield set up. The Blitz Team vs. The Champ Team. Battle mode 0973. Ready…? Fight…!" yelled the judge robot.

"Ok, Archon! Now its time!" yelled Bit as his organoid that stands in the Liger Zero's back activate it boosters and became a pulse that later fuses with Liger Zero. The Liger Zero roars and activated it Ion Boosters.

"Sebastian! Benjamin! I'll fight with Bit! You two, fight Leena and Brad! But, if you strike too hard too Leena… I won't forgive you two…!" Harry shouted threatening his server robots.

"Ok… Ok… Harry…" Benjamin and Sebastian replied.

The white Konig Wolf ran around the battlefield so fast and made Sebastian confused. Later, he fires the Dual Sniper Rifle mounted in the zoid's back and strikes the Rev Raptor. Finally, the command system of the Rev Raptor is frozen.

"Two more to go!" Jamie speaks in.

"Roger… Argh…!" before Brad would turned and shot the his Konig Wolf's Dual Sniper Riffle at Benjamin, but it was interrupted by Harry that shots the Dark Horn's Beam Cannon triple times at him.

"The command system has frozen?! This is the worst start since I have a new zoids!" Brad grumbled and jumped out from his zoid.

Meanwhile in the Hover Cargo, Ichigo's alarm that detects the Hollow that will come rang loud.

"Oh, not again…" Ichigo grumbled and turn his back to the exit door. "Let's go, Rukia!" Ichigo commanded as he and Rukia ran out from the command room and left Jamie and Dr. Toros there.

"I think there's something about that alarm… Is there any connection between them and the monsters that will appear?" Jamie thought as he turned and watch those guys left. After he returned to the command computer, he saw a dot that grows bigger in the radar, which actually not too far from the Hover Cargo and that was above the battlefield!

"Bit! A strange black hole cracks above you! Get out of there, quickly…!" Jamie commanded in.

Harry was chasing Bit with his Dark Horn's Vulcan gun shots tons of bullet that always avoided by the Liger Zero. After the hole opened widely, the huge werewolf-looking hollow as big as Liger Zero jumped from the hole and roars.

"What…?!" Harry astonished as he took a brake and his Dark Horn stopped. "You wanna ruin this battle?! Well, I have to ruin you first! Accept this King's blow!" he yelled, and fires tons of ammo from the Vulcan gun and strikes the monster.

"Harry! Get out of there! That monster are powerful, your Dark Horn can be crushed into pieces!" Bit shouted in to Harry. Harry turned his head against the hollow and saw it create big-red energy ball from it mouth. Harry goes panic. Fortunately, after the hollow shot the energy beam, Harry could take his Dark Horn out from the fire range of the monster.

"Hey, Bit! What the hell with that monster?!" Harry shouted in gasped. His face goes pale because of the attack of the monster.

"You'll know after it slams you! Don't get yourself hurt, Harry!" Bit said ran away. Harry's Dark Horn was punched by that werewolf hollow and rolled until 500 meters. Harry screamed and gasped, he don't know what should he do now. After that, he became unconscious.

Jamie speaks in to Leena and Bit, "Should I request the judge robot to stop this battle immediately?"

"IMMEDIATELY…!" Bit and Leena yelled together.

"This is Jamie Hemeros from the Blitz Team. There's an unknown object ruin everything in the battlefield! In the name of Blitz Team, we are requesting to cancel the battle immediately!" Jamie said to the judge.

"Cancellation request received. Elaborating… Elaborating…" the judge robot started to elaborate.

The red Geno Saurer made a position to fires it Focused Charged Particle Cannon. That werewolf hollow also made a position to shot it energy beam. Two balls of charged energy crated, and then fired. Those energy beams crashed each other, it made a big explosion.

"Cancellation battle accepted. This battle isn't validated. The battle will be continuing tomorrow, at the same time and battlefield," said that judge robot. The judge capsule closed, and then activate it booster and flied into the atmosphere.

"That was close… Huh?!" Bit was surprised because the werewolf hollow come closer to him. That hollow slams it huge arm, and fortunately the Liger Zero can avoid it attack. The Liger Zero shot it shock cannon and hit the hollow's arm. From the other direction, came the shinigami Ichigo with his gigantic sword.

"Getsuga Tensho…!" Ichigo yelled as the energy blade hit the hollow's head.

"Liger! Strike Laser Claws…!" Bit yelled. The Liger's claws glowing, and then strikes the hollow. The hollow defeated, and then disappeared.

Benjamin and Sebastian ran closer to Harry's Dark Horn, and found him unconscious. Bit commanded them to take him into the Hover Cargo. The two server robot carries Harry with Bit's help. Harry was placed in the back seat, and they headed to the Hover Cargo with the Liger Zero.

"Hmm... He's Ok. I think he's only shocked because the sudden attack of that monster," Dr. Toros said after examined Harry.

"Rukia?" Bit called.

"Yes?"

"Did you say something about…? Uh… Hole… Hole whatever?" Bit asked forget.

"Hollow. The evil spirit monster that eats human's soul. They're formed from human soul that can't reach Seireitei and can't live in peace. They come from a dark and creepy place, called Hueco Mundo. It is a dark world, placed between the human world and the Shinigami's world, called Seireitei," Rukia said calmly, explaining.

"So, you said about Seireitei is your home, Rukia?" Bit asked.

"Yes, but Ichigo's actually not the real shinigami. In the beginning, he absorbs my spirit power and became a shinigami only to save his sisters. But lately, he has a duty to slay hollows," Rukia continued. "His zanpakuto is different then other shinigami. Bit, did you see his sword when Ichigo attacked that hollow?" Rukia asked.

"Yes. It's very huge, but-" Bit answered.

Before Bit continues his sentence, Harry groaned weakly. "Ugghh… I'm Harry… Champ… I'm… a man… destined to… be… a… king…" he sat up in the couch.

"Harry! Finally, you wake up!" Sebastian said.

"Where am I?" Harry asked.

"You're in our Hover Cargo," Doc answered.

"Where's my Dark Horn anyway?" Harry asked.

"It's Ok. Just have a little problem with the armor," Jamie answered.

Harry turned his head towards Leena. "I saw you fighting with that monster. Are you ok… darling?"

Ichigo laughed, Rukia giggled, but Brad, Bit, and Doc sighed. Leena's face turned red. "What did you say?! How dare you say that in front of my friends and my father?"

"But, Leena… I'm so worried about you!" Harry said.

"And I'm so happy if you dead by crushed with that monster!" Leena goes angry tighten her fist that will fly towards him.

"Leena, please calm down, will ya?!" Bit hold Leena's hand that will punch Harry's face.

"He's made me so embarrassed!" Leena shouted.

"I know your emotions well, Leena! But your fist will make him shock again, and if he wounded and must enter the hospital, who's will be responsible?!" Bit asked temperamentally.

Leena can't reply Bit's words. His pretty emerald eyes shows that Bit looks so worried about her and Harry. "Ok… I'm sorry, Bit…"

Bit smiled at Leena.

"I'm sorry Harry, I know Leena always like this, but… I don't want you and Leena suffer too much," Bit said sighed.

Harry was surprised by Bit's words. Then, he started to ask, "Hey, anyone knows about that werewolf monster that ruins our battle suddenly?"

Everybody stares at Rukia. "Hmm… I never see you and that orange-haired guy before. Are you the new member?" Harry said.

"No, we're not. I am Rukia Kuchiki. That orange-haired guy is Ichigo Kurosaki. We are a shinigami," Rukia answered.

"Shini… Gami?" Harry's eyes widen.

"We're from Seireitei. We've ordered to come to this planet to slay hollows that have attacked this planet. Hollow is an evil spirit monster that eats the human souls," said Rukia continued.

"Seireitei? I never hear it before. Where's that place?" Harry asked.

"Well, just say… Another world…" Ichigo answered.

"Guys… from… the… other… world…" Harry goes dizzy and fainted again.
