I don't own zoids, or any of the characters. Though If my life goes according to plan I eventually will. :D
Anyway, I may not own zoids or any of the characters, but I do own the girl in the pod, and I do own this fic, so no stealing...pssh, as if you would.
This takes place sometime after the manga. See my page for a picture of the girl.
"We've got him." The woman said. Behind her was a red-head man holding a limp body.
"Good." The Regent answered, smiling in a malicious way. He turned from the window to the three at the door.
The man removed the boy's shirt and chained him to the wall while the woman led two zoids in, who were struggling with another. In the centre of the room was a pod. The glass was tinted purple, and a deep blue teardrop was on top.
"Is this really as important as you say?" The woman asked, pulling a stray strand of blue hair behind her ear.
The Regent nodded. "If she's as powerful as the inscriptions say, then she'll be more useful than the boy."
"Even with Shadow?" The woman asked, she sounded surprised and doubtful. The Regent nodded.
"Proceed with the operation, Hiltz." Prozen ordered lightly.
Hiltz smirked as he drew a knife. The boy had stirred. Perfect.
"Hello, Raven." He said and plunged the knife into the teen's arm. He cried out in pain, fighting against the bonds.
"It won't work." Hiltz said with a sadistic smirk. He dragged the blade down to Raven's hand and pressed it again into the victim's arm.
Stop it...
Hiltz ignored the foreign voice in his head, and began on the other arm.
Let him go.
Raven cried out again as the weapon drew more blood. I should be dead by now. He thought in despair. How am I alive?
The pod's glass shattered, and out from the capsule a black figure launched at the redhead. Hiltz flung his hand back, hitting the girl with the butt of his knife. She fell to the ground and snarled at him.
"Hmph, you're blind, what chance do you have against two trained warriors?" The man asked.
"She may be blind," Prozen said. "But she's necessary, and I'm sure she'll agree to help us."
"Never!" She spat, "I'd rather die than associate myself with you!"
"Even if Shadow dies with you? And his partner?" Reese asked.
The girl paused. "No…" She breathed. "Don't kill them…heal him!"
Prozen nodded to Hiltz who bandaged up Raven's arms tightly. The boy was limp again.
"So, what do you say now, squirt?" Reese asked, forcefully picking the girl up.
"You will die a horrible, fiery death." The girl hissed, her face looking straight at Reese though she couldn't see it.
"That's no way to speak to-!" She began but Prozen interrupted.
"Now, now ladies, stop this, I need you to do a mission for me."
Reese dropped the girl who glared at the albino.
"You're lucky, kid." Hiltz muttered to the unconscious boy while Reese gestured towards the struggling black organoid. "What do we do about him?"
"Let him go." The girl said.
"No, we lock him up until we're sure of you're co-operation." Prozen said to the girl.
