Hi! I bet you're wondering why I titled this story "Dark Angel"? Well, I
dun know why. I just felt like it... Weird, eh? Umm, I have already written
this story, I just have to post it in small sections since it is so
freakin' long. This DOES have Raven in it, just not right away. So unlike
me, ne? Since I can't work the code thingers, the "/" will mean when
something is in italics. Very annoying, I know, but it'll make the story
"better" I suppose. Yeah. Okay. You want me to start? Yeah.
I DON'T OWN ZOIDS OR THE OPENING STATEMET THE STORY AND THIS A RUN-ON SENTECE SINCE THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE CLAUSES AND YOU SHOULD BE CORRECTING ME BUT YOU'RE NOT.
/ In the far reaches of the Milky Way, on the planet Zi, there exist mechanic life forms that posses superior fighting skills. These are the Zoids. Warriors by nature, Zoids have been used as the ultimate weapons in the ongoing war between the Imperial forces, and the Republicans of Planet Zi. / ---------------------------
"Please?" I begged. I was on my knees, asking the shop owner for a Zoid. But he wasn't going to give me one any time soon. In these times, Raven was on the rampage, and I, a mere girl of fifteen, wasn't going to get a Zoid.
"Sorry ma'am. I just can't give you one. We need all the Zoids for the army, to fight off the Imperial attackers. Besides, don't you think you need to be bit older to pilot one of these? You know that women have to sixteen to pilot one in these parts," he explained. His deep blue eyes stared into my coal black ones.
"Yeah, yeah. it's a stupid rule. Maybe I'll come back when there are more Zoids available, and when I'm older," I started to complain.
"Sorry Kala," the man at the store said. The shop sold not only Zoids, but Zoids weapons, parts and accessories. It was a pretty old shop. He knew my name because I usually hung around here. His name was Fred.
In the back was where the Zoids were kept. I exited the shop and snuck around back. When I entered my mouth almost dropped to the ground. Inside was only ONE Zoid! And it was a Rev Raptor at that. But when I studied the Rev Raptor closer, it was sharp. No, not good looking, it's claw blades, foot blades, and even the blades that opened on the sides. They were really, really sharp. Now I could tell it was different. And the blades on the sides, they were longer and pointier, but still round.
The color on the Zoid was even different. Instead of being a deep red, the color was more of a magma, or cherry color. Its eye color was blue (meaning the window tint on the cockpit was blue). The teeth were even sharp. Another thing that was different is that it looked like it had a booster on the back.
The Rev Raptor was a dinosaur like Zoid that was built for speed more then for offense and defense. It was a Zoid of the Imperial army, as opposed to the
Republic. It was usually a deep red color with green eyes and two half- circle blades on the back, along with two guns on the back and front.
"Whoa." I gasped. "Maybe I could just climb in for a bit."
I jumped into the cockpit of the Zoid, and immediately everything went on. There was a dashboard and controls were everywhere. I sat in the first seat, there were two.
"Uh, oh!" I yelped. "What's going on?"
"Raaaggghw!!" screeched the Rev Raptor. It didn't sound like a regular Zoid. It sounded./ female! /
"Hey, you aren't an ordinary Raptor are you?" I asked it.
It, or should I say, she, responded with a happy roar.
"I know! I'll call you the Slash Raptor!!" I said, naming my newfound Zoid.
I tried working it and ended up pushing the wrong button and blowing a hole in the wall with the guns on the arms. Immediately Fred came running and fainted right in front of the Zoid before him. I quickly yelled at Slasher to get out of there.
"How do I work this thing?!" I yelled unhappily. Slash stopped and everything shut down except for the original viewing screen. A power point- like slideshow came on and showed me how to pilot her.
"Can this get any weirder?" I asked. At that precise moment, the end of the slideshow came on saying, 'Thank you and have a nice day!'
"Slash, you are the coolest, and weirdest Zoid I ever met," I told her.
Slash growled a bit.
"I mean it in a good way!" I responded quickly.
Slash and I continued traveling looking for a few good fights. What I really wanted is to meet Ban and Raven, and beat them both. I had never seen either of them, but it would be a good experience. When I came across a town I decided to take a pit stop. It was at the foot of a mountain. To be perfectly honest the town reminded me of a western side town. Very weird. When Slash Raptor and I came walking in everyone stared. I guess they never had seen a Rev Raptor like her, and especially since a Rev Raptor was a Zoid of the Imperial army, and I was in Republic territory. Some even ran away, but I later explained that it was ok.
I stopped at a good restaurant and ordered up some grub. I gobbled down the chicken fingers hungrily. The plate was so clean I could see my reflection in it. My short, spiky black hair looked greasy. I decided it wasn't a bad idea to stay over night in a hotel to get some rest and a shower.
Slash didn't mind and I stayed at the Nicos Inn. My bedroom was a second- class size and taste, but at least it got the job done. I realized that I would need to abandon my dream for a short moment and get a job before moving on. I was in bad need of cash. It seemed that the town need a protector from the Imperial army, and almost all towns did due to the war. It paid a good amount, and it would give me good experience, so I decided it was ok.
The next day nothing came, but I decided to fill up the time with answering people's random questions, which were mostly about Slasher.
"Where did you get her?" an old pheasant woman asked.
"I was in a Zoid dealers, and when I went to the back, I wanted to check her out and it ended up in her being mine," I explained.
That night I fell asleep in my Zoid. The next morning I was woken up rudely by some rumbling from gunshots.
"Slasher, attack mode!" I shrieked, immediately awake. The opposing Zoids were ironically a couple of basic model Rev Raptors. This was my chance to see what kind of skill Slasher really had. When I said, "attack mode" the blades on her backside immediately opened up. A silver energy surrounded them and Slasher growled angrily at the other Zoids.
"Booster on!" I cried, pushing Slash forward. The booster made her gain considerable speed. We dashed around the few enemies we had, shredding them as we went by. The last one got behind us and fired.
"Ahhg!" I grunted, falling to the ground. The blades went back in their places. I could hear the enemy closing in on us. I think Slash could too. The other Raptor's gun was poised to destroy us. I could then feel myself being attacked.
A screen came on and the soldier that was piloting the other Zoid started to talk to me.
"Surrender now and you will not be harmed," he said.
"You mean not anymore then I already have been?" I yelled at him.
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen," I said, and then realized I should've lied. I was now illegally piloting a Zoid.
When the reinforcements came in, I was deprived of my beautiful Zoid and was taken to an Imperial court.
"Why did you decide to steal a Zoid, and then pilot it illegally?" asked the judge.
"Because I felt like it. And besides, I didn't MEAN to turn her on," I explained. ((A/N: Is it just me, or did that not sound right? Maybe I'm just perverted. O.o))
"Kala, this is no time to fool around. Whatever you did to IT, it is no excuse or what you did. So what does the jury say?" asked the judge, giving me a sarcastic face.
"We the jury find the defendant guilty of all charges," a representative of the jury announced. Of course I had no chance in winning. I could go to boarding school, but then there was jail. So I chose boarding school. I couldn't help wondering why they had that as a punishment. But it wasn't the school that was the punishment. It was my roommate. They told me it was a girl named Lilly Sunshine. They said she was from another dimension and now her parents took her to the boarding school. Lilly was labeled as a legal nutcase.
"Oh great," I muttered, dragging the few items I owned to my room. "Now, not only do I not have my Zoid, I have to stay in a room with some nutcase."
When I opened the door Lilly was standing there, waiting to greet me. I was totally un-expecting this. No, I wasn't scared, but Lilly didn't look at all at what I thought. I was expecting some crazed, hunched over monster- like being, but what I got was a young girl, probably about fourteen, who had beautiful, fiery red hair, grass green eyes and a slim build. She was wearing a spaghetti strap top and khaki shorts.
"Hi!" she said cheerfully. "My name's Lilly Sunshine! What's yours?" She held out her hand.
"The name's Kala," I said acceptingly, taking her hand and shaking it.
"Kala what?" she asked, wondering my last name.
"Uhh. I don't know." I mumbled, embarrassed. When I was young, I was kidnapped and when the kidnapper asked me my last name, I didn't know. So I ended up living with him. He never gave me a last name though.
When I walked into the room, I could tell Lilly wasn't the neat type. Her stuff was strewn across the floor. Books, papers, clothes./everything./ Her bed wasn't made. We were going to share a bunk bed and she had the bottom. She had a desk and even THAT was messy. I looked at her desk and on it was a picture of a young guy, with scraggly blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He was smiling in it too.
"Who's that? Your boyfriend?" I asked, picking up the picture.
"No. just a friend. We're not so close anymore but we still keep in tou-" she was almost going to say, but she was stopped by a crash. I had thrown the picture on the ground, breaking the glass and ruining the picture.
"What did you do that for?" she cried, picking up the picture and trying to piece together.
"He looks dumb. And the picture was annoying me," I explained. I climbed up onto my bed and closed my eyes. "Why are you here?" I asked.
"Parents. They figured this would help me turn into a more girlish. girl," she told me, and I heard her throw out the picture. I smiled silently. "What about you?" she asked.
"Got in trouble for stealing a Zoid and then piloting it illegally," I said causally. "Of course my Zoid was taken away. I'm innocent really. It's not my fault Slash turned on."
"Slash?" she asked.
"My Zoid. She's supposedly a Rev Raptor, but a lot more advanced. So I called her Slash Raptor," I explained. "And by the way, why do they call you a nutcase?" I asked her.
"Uh, you don't wanna know," she replied.
"Oh."
Suddenly a bell rang, ordering us to get ready for the first class. This was her life? How boring is this? The teacher's name was Mr. D. His full name was S U D but everyone called him SUD. SUD was a short man with a big, white circle head with the letters SUD in blue on it. His dream was to be part of a talk show one day. That's all he talked about too. Maybe that was part of the torture. As soon as class was over, Lilly and I retreated back our room. Lilly told me the tale of her family.
"I live, or lived, in a family where proper was spelled with a capital /P/. I had two sisters that were complete "girly-girls". My dad didn't mind so much, but mom tried everything to make like my sisters. It was like Rose and Daisy were the stars and I was the sidekick. My mom finally went to the last resort and sent me here. I can't say it did much.," Lilly told me, lying on her bunk.
"Yeah well, I had it worse," I half-bragged.
"Really? What was YOUR family like?" asked Lilly.
"Well, my original one, I have no idea. I came from some planet called Vegeta. That's where I got this," I said, pulling out my tail.
"Ahh!" Lilly screeched, hiding under the covers.
"It's just my tail. I'm something called a Saiyan. I somehow crash- landed here in a pod thing and they put me in an adoption agency when my foster parents found me. I was in a cage screaming and stuff.I was only about four. I had really long hair, so my foster parents cut it and took me home. When I was five, I went out for a walk and this guy named Dave came up and kidnapped me. I never knew my last name so he couldn't return me, so I lived with him for a few months before he was shot to death and I was roughin' it. And then I met Slasher, so I'm here," I told her, laughing a bit at the end.
I organized my stuff and by the time we were done telling stories about our lives it was time to hit the sack. I climbed up to my bed and practically conked out. I woke up at 7:00 AM and went to school. At the end of the week I was /already/ bored.
"Lilly, how long have you been here?"
"About 6 months," she replied. My eyes widened. I would have to get out of here. This was not the way to live. I wanted Slash back!!
So for a month, I devised a plan for Lilly and I to get out of here. I didn't tell her until the night when we were going to do it. We snuck out of our room and brought nothing with us, except for food, which we got from the cafeteria. Lilly was an excellent hacker, since her friend had taught her some skills. She turned off the security alarms (yes they have security alarms in schools, especially ones with insane children in it), and then we ran through the front doors out into the wilderness. We kept running into the next town.
"What do we do now?" asked Lilly.
I caught my breath and replied, "We get back Slasher."
-------------------------------------------------------
W00t! SUD ACTION!!! YEAH BABY! Hehehee... if you've never read "Late Nite With Raven" then you wouldn't get it. So, what do you think? Just for your info, Kala is 15 and Lilly is 14.... okay. This is a chapter of her life... interesting ne? Sorry about the convenient crap... yeah. Reviews please! ^^
