* Zoids *

Fan Fiction

"I HATE WAR SHARKS!!!"
"Get over yourself Harry. Just keep firing!"
"Shut up Sebastian! No one tells ME what to do!"
"Hey Harry! Circle that War Shark and get behind it, otherwise you'll be out!"
"Ok Brad!"
"I thought you said that no one tells you-"
"SHUT UP SEBASTIAN!"

The Dark Horn jogged to the left, dodging the War Shark's attack. Harry turned his Zoid around completely and fired at the War Shark before it could retreat under the sand. Omari's Saber Tiger was on the run from one War Shark. His Zoid was not going to last another hit, and when it lost its footing in a small ditch, Omari thought he was done for. But as the War Shark lifted into the air to attack, a familiar Zoid flew near and fired repeatedly, knocking the War Shark out of commission. Then the Zoid flew back up to its own battle.

It was Jamie in his Raynos, who helped Omari for a quick second. So far, neither Jamie nor Pierce had gotten the advantage over each other. Both the Raynos and the Zabat Gold had taken equal damage. Oscar, still watching from far below, wasn't sure who would win at this rate.
"Give it up little lady!" yelled Jamie, firing at the large Zabat Gold.
Pierce dodged the shots and then asked, "Why should I? I'm gonna be the victor of this petty battle."
Jamie scowled, then dove straight where Pierce and her Zoid…were. "Wha-Where'd she-?"
"I told you I would be the victor!" yelled Pierce as she fired repeatedly at the Raynos.
Jamie cried out as his Zoid racked around with the impact.
Oscar shook his head, dearly worried for his son.
The Raynos spun down and then closed in on the ground.
"Pull up kid," ordered Pierce, watching him go down.
The Raynos continued down. Pierce screamed out with pure worry in her voice, "PULL UP!"

About a mile from the ground, Jamie smirked and the Raynos swerved up, jettisoning one of his guns, which was the one Pierce had hit, doing no real damage to the actual Zoid. Jamie fired at the Zabat Gold with its remaining guns, and since Pierce didn't expect the assault, the Zabat Gold suffered greatly. Pierce knew she had lost so she ejected from her Zoid, then released the parachute. Moments after she ejected, the cockpit of the Zabat Gold exploded, sending glass and debris everywhere.
Pierce cursed, and then the Raynos flew near her. Jamie opened the cockpit.
"You're a lot cuter up close," he commented.
Pierce smirked.
Jamie continued, "Need a ride?"
Pierce took off her parachute backpack and landed safely in the cockpit. She sat in the seat behind Jamie. She was quiet as Jamie closed the cockpit, and was quiet a little after, but then asked a simple but important question.
"Can I join the Blitz Team?"

It was like an old western movie. The Liger Zero X stood on the right side, its blades shining and its back hunched in a pouncing position. The Gun Sniper Nightmare X stood across from it on the left side, its blades emitting an evil presence, and its teeth bare. Eriol sat, defeated and pissed off on the sidelines, waiting for the final battle to start, and then finish. He eyed the Red Comet and thought of Leena. He had remembered Bruce saying that if the GSNX won, then he would capture Leena to be with Eriol for good. Eriol then looked at the Liger Zero X. Bit was risking everything for Leena. He was also saving himself and the Zoid Battle Commission, but Eriol knew that it was Leena who kept Bit going.

Eriol realized that what he had done was stupid. Bit loved Leena, and Leena loved him. Eriol knew that Leena would never go for him, especially after what he did to her the other day. Bit would risk everything for Leena, and Leena would risk everything for Bit. It wouldn't be the same situation for her and Eriol. Even though it was going against who he was, Eriol secretly rooted for Bit and the Liger, who did this for love, rather than the GSNX, who was made with hatred.

"Well, kid…Who's gonna make the first move, eh?" asked Bruce from his cockpit.
Bit grunted yet said nothing.
Bruce smirked and said, "All right kid, I guess I will!"

The Gun Sniper Nightmare X ran forward at its top speed, yet the Liger never moved. The GSNX lengthened its blades and then shot them forward.
"What is he doing? Move it Bit!" exclaimed Eriol.
The blades came dangerously close, and then the Liger put one paw to the side and then the blades slashed through air.
"WHAT?" yelled Bruce.
The Liger had moved out of the way. The blades never came in contact. The Liger had used its max speed to dodge them without being seen. And now the Liger was halfway to the GSNX. Bruce fired a special move that was twice as powerful as the Wild Weasel.
"Wild Weasel Ultimate Assault!" yelled Bruce at the top of his lungs.
Bit grunted and yelled with pain as he and the Liger were hit by the attack.
"You okay Liger?" asked Bit to his Zoid.
The Liger brought his head up and roared loudly.
Bit smirked. "I'll take that as a yes…All right! Hit him with an assault of our own Liger!"
The Liger roared again and then opened up some of its missile launchers and fired at the GSNX. Bit heard the Gun Sniper screech and then he saw the blades extend.
"Liger!"
The Liger Zero X flipped its blades to its sides and then rushed forward. The two Zoids came in contact and there was a bright light that engulfed them. When the Liger landed from its pounce, Bit noticed that not only were the blades of the Liger broken, but also the blades of the GSNX.
"There's one less thing to worry about," he said, turning the Liger around.
The GSNX was oddly slow as it turned around. Bit took the chance to tackle it, knocking the side of the Liger into the side of the raptor-like Zoid. The GSNX screeched and then fired its twin barrel machine guns at the Liger. Liger ran around, dodging what it could. The Gun Sniper then stopped firing and stood up straight. The blades that had been broken started to regenerate.
"CRAP! I forgot it could do that!" cursed Bit. "Wait…the Liger can too…But how? How do you heal Liger?"
The Liger roared.
"WHATAYA MEAN YOU HAVE NO CLUE?"
The Liger roared again and then suddenly all of the controls of it locked up. The Liger stood stiff, and the blades it had lost regenerated as well.
"Ah…so it heals, but I can't do anything while it does…I get it," said Bit. "As the same with the Gun Sniper…so that means it can't attack me…but if it finishes before I do I'm a sitting duck."
Just what Bit feared happened, unfortunately. The GSNX screeched in triumph before it released a barrage of missiles and shells at the Liger. After it was done, the GSNX screeched loudly over and over, seeing the Liger bent to the ground in bad shape.

"Take that Elephandor!" yelled both of the Tasker sisters when the mighty Backdraft Zoid fell. The three Lightning Saix roared in triumph, but Leon couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. Jack stopped his Saix and too felt the strange feeling.

"Damn…I really tired…" said Harry as he, Brad, and Sebastian took care of the final wave of War Sharks. Brad's eyebrows were furrowed in worry though. He felt something…unexplainable. Harry soon felt the same odd something. Something was wrong.

Jamie and Pierce were helping to defend the Hover Cargo with its own defense and offense systems. They both had this odd feeling that nagged in the depths of their minds. Doc also felt odd.

"Bit…C'mon Bit! You too Liger!"
Bit opened his eyes, but he did not see the computers and machinery that were in the cockpit of the Liger. He saw darkness and then he saw Lalia Tauros standing in front of him.
"You must defeat Bruce. You have to! Everyone's lives are in danger! My husband's, Leena's, Leon's, Brad's, Harry's, Naomi's, Jamie's…they're all depending on you Bit! Your own life is in danger…but you know that. I'll give you the power to use the Gun Sniper Nightmare's ultimate power, but you can use it only once, for when you use it, the Gun Sniper Nightmare's armor will shatter, leaving only the Liger Zero in its bare form. Good luck."

Bit felt warmth suddenly, and he then felt his eyes close. When he opened them, he saw he was in the cockpit of the Liger. The Liger's paws were glowing golden, and then when Bit told Liger to execute the attack, the claws grew in size and started glowing a fiery red. The Liger ran forward at its full Jager speed. Thanks to the Panzer's defense, it survived the GSNX's last attack. Bit knew that this wasn't the Ultimate Power of the Gun Sniper Nightmare, but he figured that he may as well try the…
"Supreme Laser SLASH!"
The Liger roared fiercely as its claws swiped off some of the Gun Sniper's guns and one of its arms. The armor that was hit went flying and sparks whipped around. The Liger landed and Bit saw that his Ultimate X was glowing golden.
"This must be it…All right…SAY GOODBYE BACKDRAFT!" yelled Bit.
The Liger pounced up, bringing his claws forward. There was a Gun Sniper screech, yet it didn't come from the GSNX. Both Eriol and Bruce saw a phantom-like version of the Gun Sniper Nightmare hanging over the Liger Zero X in a fighting stance. Missiles flew around, hitting the GSNX like ten freight trains, but that wasn't all of the attack. When the Liger's blades and claws hit the GSNX, lightning surrounded both Zoids. Then there was once again a huge, bright flash…

Brad and Harry looked to the bright flash on the top of the Aroch Mountains about a mile away. Doc, Jamie, and Pierce saw the same light and wondered what was happening. Leon and Jack stared at it, and then when it shrank and then slowly faded away, questions ran through their heads faster than Leena could waste her ammo.

Speaking of Leena, she awoke when the flash stopped. She blinked a couple of times, and then focused on two figures. The Liger Zero was crouched as if it just landed from an attack. But it didn't have the black armor of the Liger Zero X; just the regular white armor. Crackling lightning from the Liger's attack surrounded the Gun Sniper Nightmare X as it lay on the ground, shattered armor sprawled everywhere.
"Bit!" said Leena over the com-link.
Bit looked to it.
"Leena…" he replied, smiling. Then the Liger shut down. "Dammit…using all of that energy took it outta ya Liger…But good job."

Suddenly, something VERY unexpected happened. The armor of the GSNX began to slowly float back to it. It was regenerating!
"Bit! Bit! Come in!" yelled Leena. She was getting worried, and now she knew the GSNX wasn't finished. What could they do? She was out of commission and the Liger can't function!
"Stay broken!" commanded Bit to the GSNX, loosing hope.
But, yet again, the unexpected happened. A white Whale King of the Zoid Battle Commission hovered over the battlefield and started to charge up its guns. It fired continuously at the GSNX for a while, and then when the smoke cleared, the armor was scattered. Bit saw the cockpit of the Gun Sniper open. Bit knew what he had to do. He opened the cockpit of the Liger and jumped out. He ran to the Backdraft Zoid and then climbed up to the cockpit.

Bruce was unconscious inside, and it was a wonder how the cockpit opened on its own. Bit rushed to the main computer system and then bent down, looking under the control panel. He grabbed and then ripped out some of the wires, and then he ripped out another pair. The cockpit flashed red and Bit knew he had to get out. He looked to Bruce.
"I feel no sympathy for you…sorry," Bit said to him. "You really messed up people's lives."
Bit climbed out of the cockpit, jumped down, and got back to the Liger.
When he got his body into the seat, there were many different explosions inside the GSNX. The armor that had belonged to it disappeared, and Bit and Leena knew that the Nightmare was over…

"This is the Zoid Battle Commission! We will come down to pick you two up when we can! The Backdraft Group officers will be arrested immediately!" called a voice from the white Whale King above Bit and Leena. They were standing under the Liger Zero, holding onto each other. It was over. The nightmare was over. Leena looked up to Bit.
"Damn. I don't have a Zoid anymore!"
Bit laughed at that. Leena smirked. She was glad nothing much changed even throughout the battles with the Backdraft Group. Well…some things did change, such as…
"Hey. Shouldn't the damsel in distress give the hero a big kiss in gratitude?" asked Bit, looking smugly at Leena. She grinned and stood on her toes and kissed his nose.
"How's that?"
"Nope."
"Not enough? Who's greedy?"
"Me, me, me, me, me, me, me-"
Leena shut him up by placing her lips onto his. After a moment, the two broke apart as the Whale King landed noisily near them. The two Blitz Team members ran out to it. A familiar figure stood waving near it.
"Naomi!" exclaimed Bit and Leena. She grinned.
"I told you it was a good idea to call the good ol' ZBC! They rushed over here as soon as I explained everythin'. They really owe all of our teams a lot: the world of Zoid battling, reputations, and hey, the whole world itself. So Bit Cloud, how does it feel to know that you just saved the world?" Naomi replied.
She stared at Bit, awaiting his answer.
He beamed. "Tingly!"
Leena sighed and pinched his arm.
"You should say something a little more decent than that!"
"I'll say what I want!"
As the two bickered, Naomi sweat dropped and said, "Nope. Some things neva change."

Layon had helped Doc and the others get their Zoids into both the Hover Cargo and Layon's Whale King. Brad was worried. He hadn't seen Naomi since earlier that day, and he was also worried about Bit and Leena, of course. No one could stop worrying about them. They had all felt uneasy ever since the bright flash on top of Aroch Mountain. Harry kept running around yelling on how he could have protected Leena and Leena this and Leena that. Jamie seemed to hang around Pierce a lot, yet the two still worried about them.

Layon had captured Isaac and when the ZBC got here, he would turn Isaac in. He saw them pass overhead before the flash. Maybe they were going to help Bit and Leena against the GSNX. Then they all looked up when they saw a white Whale King coming toward them. They waited as it landed about thirty feet away from them all, and then anticipated who would come out of the opening cargo door.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" yelled a familiar voice, running out in a familiar red Gun Sniper. The Gun Sniper stopped and screeched in victory.
"Here I come!" yelled another familiar voice, and then a large tiger-like Ultimate X jumped out of the Whale King.
When the mighty Liger Zero landed, it too let out a roar of victory. The others cheered and hollered, excited that both Bit and Leena were alive and well. Doc was hiding back the tears of joy that he held in his eyes. He was glad that the two pilots were okay, but he was so impressed on the Liger's movements as it came out of the ZBC Zoid.
In his words, it was "SO! COOL!"

"Are you sure you're not drunk, Harry?"
"A'course I not drunk, Sebaaaaaaaastian!"
"I'm Benjamin."
"You LIE!"
The Zoid Battle Commission was holding a party for the team that stood against the Backdraft in its finest hour. It was a day after the defeat of the "invincible" Gun Sniper Nightmare X. Bit told everyone everything he could, although even he was confused and amazed at some of the things that went on during the lengthy battle. Everyone was there; the members of the Blitz, Champ, Flugal, Lightning, and Tigers Team. Layon, Pierce, and Oscar were there too. There was wine, great food ((which included muffins!)), some music, and the Liger was decorated with red and blue ribbons. Leena put a bright pink bow right on the Liger's foot, and even though he tried shaking it off, Leena tied it well.

Brad leaned against the wall, talking with Jamie, a very drunk Harry, and Jack. Harry soon wandered off with the help of his robots, and then Naomi walked up to Brad. Jamie looked to her and then knew it would be good thing if he walked off. Jack sped off to the food table.

"I owe ye a kiss, don't I?" Naomi asked Brad.
Brad kept a smile on his face. "Yeah…I think you do."
Naomi giggled almost unusually (for her) and then crept closer to Brad.
"Close your eyes," she commanded.
Brad raised one eyebrow, still keeping that cocky grin on his face. He didn't close them.
Naomi grinned. "I knew you wouldn't."
She leaned in and put her lips to his ((Br&N fans: wow! SB actually put in more stuff than B&L!)) and then wrapped her arms around his neck. Brad found himself holding her, and he found that his eyes were closed.

And speaking of kissing couples, Bit and Leena were both at the snack table, grabbing muffins, cheese doodles, and lots and lots of other sugar filled things. Leena would occasionally throw a cheese doodle or two at Bit, and he would then throw them back. The two shared wineglasses and would dance together whenever a good song came on. It was a very fun party, and the pilots all knew that they could enjoy it. The nightmare was over, along with any Backdraft Group battles. But the Blitz Team would never retire. Their adventures as S Class warriors has just begun, again!

"Do you really think this is a good idea, Leena?"
"Of course Bit. I need a Zoid for the battle in two days! You can't expect me to keep borrowing Naomi's Zoid! I still wanna be able to fight her!"
"…All right. But if its called Gun Sniper Not Good Dream, then I'm outta here!"
"Gun Sniper Not Good Dream? That's the one I'm getting!"
"ACK! Don't kid around like that!"
"I'm not! That's not its exact name, but it's a really cool Gun Sniper just like my GSN! It's called the Gun Sniper Illusion! It's got awesome new weaponry and you can store extra ammo and…wonderful…and…"
Bit sighed as Leena continued.
"…Here we go again…"
