Phoenix Team part 9…
Bit
looked at Leena, shocked. Did she
say and do what he thought she did?
She was going to give her Konig Wolf to him? Probably to be fair. Of course, Leena had two Zoids, Jamie
had two Zoids, and Brad had two Zoids.
Bit only had the Liger Zero, but to have a rare Konig Wolf!? They were more rare then a Red Blade
Liger! Bit had a suspicion that
being the Phoenix Team was so rich they were aloud to build their own
Zoids. There had been a rumor that
the Lightning Squad on the Phoenix Team had special Lightning Saix made for
them so they had rotating guns and had a Strike Laser Claw. One of the Saix pilots on the Team was
afraid of high speeds, so resistance armor was placed on it and a Wild Weasel
Unit, beings it wouldn’t do much for speed, it could easily make it up in
ammo. There was another rumor that
they had created a new Zoid called the Thunder Lynx. No one had ever seen it, not even the
Amazon Maidens. Bit looked back at
Leena. She was talking to Melody
and Fiona who had just joined the table.
She was laughing and talking as though she had never heard her name on
the announcement when she won, she wasn’t gloating. That came as a surprise. Leena never missed the chance to
gloat. She must be
maturing, that has to be it, she has to be maturing. Bit looked at Leena for a few more
seconds and than turned to talk to Jamie, but was rudely surprised when he saw
Jamie flirting with a girl! Jamie Hemeros, the serious statistics manager of the Blitz
Team, was flirting! Was that what Jamie wanted to talk about
a few days before? That he was in
love? The girl, as it seemed,
wasn’t too hard on the eyes, in fact, she looked almost exactly like
Miss. Prazan, dead gorgeous at every angle! She had long, light brown hair, dark blue
eyes, and a drop dead smile that showed her front teeth. She wore a skirt like Zoid battle
uniform, like a mix between Naomi Flugal and Leena. The flare on the back of her skirt
looked like the wings of a Sting Ray.
It was gold and red, the Phoenix Team colors. The tell tale gold bands of the Phoenix
Team that were usually on the arms were around her legs, at the rim of her
boots. As she walked up to them, he
saw Jamie blush. “Hey Jamie,
how are ya?” She asked as
Jamie tried hard to control him self.
“Hi Kristen, long time no see, I’m doing fine. How about you?” Kristen smiled at him and sat down. The dance contest was about to begin and
Bit was getting nervous. Leena was
still talking to her friends when the announcement came over the intercom that
the dance contest was ready to start.
Bit
crossed his fingers, hoping that they would be first to get it over with. “First up, Bit Cloud and Leena
Toros, dancing to Ricky Martin’s ‘Cup of Life’.” Leena took Bit’s arm and lead him
to the dance floor. They stood in
the middle of the floor, backs and legs straight and stiff, they held each
other as if they were doing a slow dance. Then out of no where the music
blasted and Bit and Leena were dancing as if a well oiled machine, doing
perfect turns, dips and spins. They
were doing what looked to a mix between a salsa and a tango, moving perfectly
as if they were being controlled.
“How in the hell did they learnt o dance like that?” Asked Doc as they neared the end of the
song. “I believe I’m
responsible for that.”
The team looked toward the table behind them where the Zaber Team and
their new girlfriends were sitting.
I young girl sitting next to Lineback was waving to Leena who just got
off the floor, sweating. She had long black hair and wore a sort
of silver version of Naomi’s uniform. It had what looked like a tiger’s
claw fastened to the front.
“Hi, I’m Maylynn Smith, Aka the Phantom Tiger.” The Blitz team looked at her in
shock. “You’re the
Phantom Tiger?” gasped Brad as Bit and Leena sat down. (The Phantom Tiger was supposed to be an
unknown warrior who piloted a silver Zaber Fang with a 50mm laser Vulcan gun
like a Shadow Fox and a Strike Laser Claw and Smoke screen. She was known as the Phantom Tiger
because she never got hit and would disappear in an instant, just like a
phantom. She was also very sneaky,
and would move through a forest as if she was going right through the trees,
and she only appeared at night.)
Maylynn nodded and took a drink from her glass. “I taught them those moves,
I’ve been taking dance since I was three, and I know every step in the
book.” Lineback looked
adoringly at Maylynn as she said this.
“Well, ready for the
“The Zorro Squad and good luck. You’re going to need it against Sirius
and his Shadow Fox.”
“You mean we’re going up against Sirius?” Asked Leena, looking over at Sirius, who
was now sitting with
Bit
put the capsule on the table of the Hover Cargo. They were on their way home with the
Konig Wolf that night. Bit had
hooked the capsule up to a plug in on the wall with an extension cord. “What do you think it
is?” He asked
Jamie as Leena and Brad drank a cup of coffee. “Beats me. I guess we’ll find out in the
morning. Well, we’re almost
home.” Jamie replied as the
Blitz Team hanger loomed in the distance.
“Hey Jamie, do you have any information on the Zorro Team, and why
are they called that?”
“Simple, they all pilot Shadow Fox’s, and
‘Zorro’ is ‘Fox’ in Spanish. Plus the guy in black, Zorro, had the
nick name ‘The Fox’.”
Replied Jamie as he parked the Hover Cargo. “I always loved those
shows.” Said Doc as the team
disembarked, Brad and Bit lugging the capsule. “It was always exciting to see
what Zorro would do next.”
The team rolled their eyes.
Not only was it normal for Doc to waste money, but it was also normal
for him to keep talking about subjects no one really cared about. “Well, better plug this in
somewhere.” Said Bit as they
hauled the capsule up the stairs.
“You got that right; I think we have a plug outlet in the meeting
room where Jamie goes over his strategies.” Replied Leena who had taken Brad’s
place in carrying the capsule.
The
team went to bed earlier then they thought they would, only Leena and Bit
stayed up. “What do you think
it is?” Asked Leena as they
shared a cup of coffee. Bit just
shrugged and put his arm around her shoulder. She reacted by leaning into him and
sticking her hand under his shirt.
The rest followed smoothly as if in a well rehearsed play.
It
was the next morning when they finally got up around ten or so. The whole team was sitting at the table
eating breakfast when they walked in.
“Good morning you two, how’d you sleep?” Asked Doc as they sat down to eat
breakfast. “I slept OK; I
didn’t get to sleep until around
“Hey Bit, the capsule opened this morning.”
Bit spat out what coffee he had in his mouth. “Really, what was it?”
“Here, let me show you.”
Jamie whistled and a bluish Organoid came running over to him. “It’s an Organoid, we don’t
have any idea what to name him though.”
“How about Blitz, after our Team?” Asked Leena as she stroked the Organoids
head. “That’s a great
idea Leena, Blitz it is.”
The
Hover Cargo cruised over the desert sands as they headed toward their
destination for the battle that day.
Bit and Leena were putting the final touches on repairs to their Zoids
when Jamie came over the intercom.
“We’re almost there, get ready to mobilize.” They got into their Zoids, ready for the
fight ahead. Blitz was in the Konig
Wolf above Bit, ready for action.
