Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present the finale of The Queen = Arrives: The Battle with the Red Phoenix!  Of course you remember last = time when I left off on my story; Bit and Leena were getting ready to face off against = the dreaded Geno Breaker.  Also = you heard the story of Bit’s Parents, Jack’s father, and Leena’s mother’s death.  But = is there something Erin’s not telling them?  Like who gave Altair = the Geno Breaker in the first place, or who was Altair’s mysterious partner = in his massacre?  You’ll = just have to read and find out.  Now, on with = the show!!

 

 

 

Red = Phoenix Part 12, Finale

 

        = ;    Beads of sweat ran down Bit’s face, his eyes glued to the Geno Breaker.  Leena was equally nervous, as = this was her first time piloting a high speed Zoid when she was so used to slow, = heavily built, artillery Zoids.  = Everyone else on the battlefield all held their breath, almost afraid to breathe.   = Erin’s Zoid, the Liger 007, was the only Zoid moving as it walked slowly.  Bit, = Leena.  I have an idea to = help you in your battle.  = Erin telepathically told them.  = I can’t tell you verbally of fear that Altair might have = made a secret com link to your Zoids.  = So I must tell you mentally.

        = ;    “Uh, you can speak telepathically?”  = Asked Bit, stunned.

        = ;    Yes, it is a rare gift, but I will be willing to help you learn, but not at the = moment.  Right now, I must tell you the = plan.  Bit, you fire a Burning Big = Bang at the Geno Breaker’s front, causing it to throw up its shield.  The shield with protect the = front, but not the back.  Leena, = that’s where you come in.  You have to get behind the Geno Breaker and aim for the Charged Particle = Converter on the Zoids back.  Unlike = Genosaurers, who use tail vents, the Geno Breaker uses a special vent on its back to = draw in Charged Particles, you have to destroy = that.

        = ;    “Right,” Answered Leena, “anything = else?”

        = ;    Yes, Bit, after you fire the Big Bang, discard your = armor; head back to the Hover Cargo and install Liger Zero Schneider.  As soon as Leena destroys the = vent, I’ll shoot of the pincers on the Geno Breaker, and help Leena keep = it busy until you return.  = When you get back, use the Liger’s Seven Blade attack and slice through = it.

        = ;    “Gotcha!  Thanks for the help.”  Said Bit, now looking back at the Geno Breaker with new found = courage.  “Liberty, courage and a sense of justice.  = I need all three of these skills in order to avenge my family.”  Liger roared an answer and = slowly walked forward towards the Geno Breaker.  “Alright Liger this is it!  BURNING BIG BANG!”  Over three hundred missiles shot out at the Geno Breaker, and as expected, it threw up its shield.  = It was when the smoke became really dense in the front did Leena shoot behind = the Breaker, and Leena, careful on her controls, aimed for the vent.  It was slightly hard to find, = as smoke from the front was slightly covering the back.  But as the smoke began to die down, an opening looking a lot like = an air condition vent became visible, and pink light was beginning to = form! 

        = ;    “Oh no!  He’s = charging the cannon!”  Leena = exclaimed in a near panic.  She quickly aimed = and fired, but unfortunately, it was off course by several inches.  “Shit! Now I have to take = it out with the claws before it turns around.”  Leena dashed forward.  = The force of the speed threw her back into the seat, making it almost impossible = to steer.  Finally, Leena = leapt onto the Breaker’s back, but the Breaker was aware of her presence, and = thwacked her off with its tail.  =

        = ;    “Leena!”  Cried = Harry, “I’ll save you my darling!”  As quickly as his Iron Kong = would allow, Harry rushed forward and caught the Lightning Saix in its arms. 

        = ;    “Whoa, thanks Harry.”  Leena said, = wiping away the sweat from her forehead.

        = ;    “No problem, now, get back out there and make your = mother proud.”

        = ;    “You know I will.”  Answered Leena, who sped back towards the Breaker.  Harry watched her leave, and = with a somewhat happy tone of mood, awaited Bit to come back from the Hover Cargo with = the Schneider.  =

 

        = ;    Things on the battle field had gone from bad to worse when = Erin missed the pincers on the Breaker, and was hit with the cannon.  Luckily, she had a shield and = deflected most of the blast, but the left part of her Zoid was badly singed.  Leena had been doing well up to = the point where the Geno Breaker was able to get a hold of her before she was able = to take another shot at the back.  = In the process, he had ripped off one of Leena’s gun barrels, halving the Saix’s fire power.  = Plus, the Saix had taken some slight damage to its right front leg, making it so it = could run very fast. 

        = ;    Leena, start shooting at it, I’ll try shooting the vent = myself.

        = ;    “Right.”  Leena aimed her gun at the Geno Breaker’s cockpit when it wasn’t looking, its sensors = trained at the Liger 007.  Leena shot = several times, hitting it on the cheek all three times. 

        = ;    “Why you little…” Growled Altair as the Geno spun its head around and = aimed its guns at Leena.  They = fired, but the Saix was still fast enough to dodge the shots effortlessly. =

        = ;    “Heh, nice try pal, but you’d have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat = a Lightning Saix!”  And = with that, Leena shot forward and fired its gun again, getting the Geno Breaker to = kick up its shield.  =

        = ;    “Don’t tell me you haven’t disabled it yet!”  Came = a somewhat whiny voice over the com link, making Leena’s head turn towards = the Hover Cargo.

        = ;    “Bit!”  She exclaimed excitedly as the = Liger Zero, now in the orange and green armor of the Schneider, ran up next to = her.

        = ;    “In the flesh.  I was = only gone for a minute; don’t tell me you missed me already.”  Leena blushed, she would have = either socked him one or kissed him, she didn’t know = which, if she wasn’t talking to him through COM link.  “Now, enough talk, = let’s kick some Backdraft ass!”  = Yelled Bit shooting forward.  Leena once again fired her gun, making the Breaker put its shield = again giving Erin time.  With a push of a button, the = Triple Barrel Shock Cannons on 007’s chest hit the vent causing the entry way to the cannon to cave in. 

        = ;    “W-What!?  My = cannon!”

        = ;    “Oops, did I do that?  I’m so = clumsy.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Laughed Erin, flicking Altair off = as he swore every cuss word he could think of.  “Language Altair, don’t want the kiddies hearing you.”  Altair = continued to swear as he fired everything he had at Erin, but was sadly disappointed when Erin put up her own = shield.

        = ;    “Oh, Breaker…”  = Came an ego manic sounding voice from behind him.  Altair slowly turned around to see a fully healed Lightning Saix standing behind him.  = Saurer had merged with the Lightning Saix again to heal it quick while Altair had been distracted.  And Leena was = ready to fire!  Quickly, Altair spun = the Geno Breaker around and was about to put up his shield when two explosions = went off at either side.  =

        = ;    “WHAT?!?!  NOOOO!”  Altair screamed as the flaps = and the pincers fell to the ground, useless.  =

        = ;    “Bit, now!”  = Erin yelled out to the young pilot, startling him for a = second.

        = ;    “Right.  Liger, Seven Blade = Attack!”  Bit ordered, making the Liger = to shoot forward.  The head blades = went across the Liger’s head and the back blades unfolded and pointed = forward.  A shield enveloped the Liger in = pink light, almost bedazzling its pilot.  = “SEVEN BLADE ATTACK!”  Screamed = Bit, pressing the Liger’s controls forward, turning on the jets and flying towards = the Breaker.  The Liger = rammed into the Breaker’s stomach area, cutting through as if it was made of paper.  =

        = ;    “NOOOOOOOO!”  Screamed Altair as his Zoid was = ripped apart, but black panels surrounded him, and shot off into the sky from the Zoid = as it fell to the ground helpless.

 

        = ;    “We did it!”  Cried Jamie = happily as he landed his Reynos and started to run towards the three.  But he stopped short; Bit and = Leena were holding each other tight, kissing!  “Wow, I was right.  Oooooooooo, I believe Pierce owes me a hundred dollars.  YES!”  Yelled out Jamie as he jabbed his fist into = the air. 

        = ;    The whole group was celebrating.  Leon and = Ashley had met and decided they would go out sometime, Jamie and Kristen met at the Reynos = and finally told their feelings for one another.  (AAAAAWWWWW!)  Sirius ran up with a very relieved look on his face to Erin, who = he scooped up into his arms and tongue kissed her.  “Sirius!”  = Erin complained playfully, “people are watching.”

        = ;    “Let them watch.”  And they = went into a new embrace.

        = ;   

        = ;    Bit and Leena broke their kiss and gazed into each others eyes.  “I was worried sick when the Breaker got a hold of you = Leena.  I was afraid he was going to = hurt you.”

        = ;    “And I was worried about you when I had to get the Saix.”  Leena = answered.

        = ;    “Yeah, but nobody can beat me or my partner!  = Right Liger?”  Liger roared a happy yes and shook its head and = shoulders.

        = ;    “You’re like your father.”

        = ;    Bit stopped for a moment, not realizing that it was Erin who had spoken to him.  “Like, my = dad?”

        = ;    “Yes, every inch of you reminds me of your father.  I guess no ones told you this, = but the Liger Zero was…your father’s Zoid when he was still = alive.”  Bit was speechless.  Liger, was his father’s = Zoid?  “You even look exactly = like him in every way, except he had a short mustache and beard.  Except for the eyes, you have = your mother’s eyes.”

        = ;    Bit smiled.  “Was my father really a = terrific Zoid pilot like Altair said?”

        = ;    “Yep, one of the best.”  = Bit smiled, but then he remembered something.

        = ;    “You said I looked exactly like my dad, right?  Well in my dreams, he had black hair, not blonde.  Can you explain that?”

        = ;    “Why yes I can, you see I had beaten them in a game of poker one night and they had to = change their hair color for a week.”  = Erin said, sniggering.  = “They didn’t realize until they were done that they had taken each = others natural hair color!  You = mother originally had black hair, and your father had blonde.” Bit smiled again. 

        = ;    “ gWellfp, Ifd better do some work then.h 

        = ;    “ gWhat work?h Asked Leena, slightly confused. 

        = ;    “ gIfm going to have to train to be a great Zoid pilot, just like my dad. I might even try to look like him if I knew what he looked like.h Erin and the others smiled, glad that Bit now fully remembered his past. 

        = ;    “Meanwhilec 

        = ;    “ gYou fool! How could you lose? Honestly.h  

        = ;    “ gBut Lady Azriella, please. Give me another chance. Please.h 

        = ;    “ gVery well Altair. Ifll give you another chance. Ifll even loan you Nightwing again.h 

        = ;    “ gOh thank you.h  

        = ;    “ A dark woman closely resembling Erin sat in a stone throne started angrily at Altair as he begged at her feet. A black organoid with large, black, bird like wings stood behind her, growling. gThis time Altair, Ifll give you a modified Geno Breaker, one thatfs harder to destroy.h And at this, she began to laugh mercilessly, Altair and Nightwing the organoid soon joining in.  

        = ;    “Back at the Battlefieldc 

        = ;    “ Bit and his teammates were walking back to the Hover Cargo, their Zoids already there when a cry came from behind them. gBit!h Bit turned around to see his sister, Fiona running up to them, carrying what look like a photo envelope in her hand. gHere, Mom wanted you to have this.h Bit took the envelope from her and opened it to find several old and new pictures inside. One was of Bit and Leena dancing at the competition, another was of Bit and Leena singing in the karaoke contest (Yes, Bit sang. And he did rather well singing gPush ith by Garbage. He came in second, winning twenty thousand dollars in cash.) And another was of him, Vega, and Fiona goofing off there as well.  

        = ;    “ Bit searched through the pictures until he came to one of interest. It was of two Zoid teams, one dressed in blue and white, the Blitz Team, and one in silver and white, the Cloud Team. One pilot from the Blitz Team was a young girl with long hair and bright blue eyes standing next to a woman who remarkably resembled an older version of Leena. It was a younger Erin, back when she was seventeen. In the adults arms were younger versions of the pilots arms themselves.  

        = ;    “ Dr. Toros was holding a eight year old Leon, Tia held a six year old Leena, Oscar held a four year old Jaime with his wife Annie standing next to them, Max held both Fiona and Bit, Colleen holding a baby Vega, not even a year, and Brian Cisco holding a seven year old Jack. On Erinfs other side stood tow others, a girl with long blue hair and a grey organoid with a black mask around its blue eyes, and a green haired boy with a metallic grey organoid with dragon like wings and purple eyes, both kids around twelve. Bit smiled when he looked at his fatherfs face with his part spiky, part shaggy blonde hair, a little larger then Bitfs own, and a short beard and mustache. (Think Howie the Backstreet Boy mustache and you got it.) His fatherfs grey blue eyes smiled happily as if he was still alive. Bit smiled even larger, and put his arm around Leena and walked to the Hover Cargo, but nit with saying thank you to his sister.  

        = ;    “ gBye sis, call me soon!h 

        = ;    “ gI will, bye!h And with a wave, Fiona ran the other direction, and disappeared in a cloud of dust. 

        = ;    “The End
