Hey guys, this is my first story on Fanfiction! It's been awhile since I've written so I'm a little rusty but once I get in the hang of it again it should flow together better! (Some good reviews might be encouraging too haha ^-^)

Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids or any of the original Zoids characters, I only own my OC and Organoid :) Enjoy!

Raven

The desert was almost unbearably hot. Raven watched as the wind kicked up mini sand tornados that rolled across the steep dunes. After destroying a Republic base he had ventured off course to a desert he had never explored before, one that held ancient ruins. He could see the crumbling structure right over the dunes; a couple of Gustav and Command Wolves surrounded the base.

"Republic…" He sneers as he looked over the enemy zoids. His organoid, the black devil Shadow, growls as well.

"Come now, Shadow. We can have some fun and Prozen won't have to know a thing." Raven's lips turn up at the corner forming one of his cocky grins. He turns and climbs into his red Zaber Fang. "You stay away until I say so, got that?" He commands the black organoid with harshness in his voice.

The Zaber Fang roars as he takes off for the ruins.

The enemy zoids were empty indicating that they had gone into the ruins to explore.

"Well that's no fun," Raven frowns and opens the cockpit, hopping out and landing on his feet with ease several yards below. He examines the zoids quickly, noting that sand had started to build up around the base of them. They had been immobile for a couple days now.

"Looks like there's something important here, Shadow."

Shadow lands beside him now, being addressed by his master. "Raaah," he answers in response.

Raven chuckles, "Of course we're going to crash their little party."

He looks at the small, tyrannosaurus-like zoid and his expression darkens. He had a strange feeling wash over him suddenly. Shadow growls as if the feeling had surged over him as well. Raven ignores it and heads inside the ruins, the opening partially covered by collapsed rumble.

Immediately Shadow starts growling again, this time with more ferocity.

"Shut up, you stupid organoid. Do you want them to hea-?" Raven jumps back, avoiding the swipe of a tail. "What the…?"

A pale green organoid stood before them, its yellow eyes glowing in the dimly lit ruins. Raven smirks. "Oh yeah?" He prepares himself for a fight but before he could do anything Shadow charges at the sea foam colored organoid, causing it to take off.

"You idiot!" Raven scolds, pushing the towering black organoid. "I didn't need your help!" He fumes as he walks on, following the path the strange organoid had ran off in.

So that's what's going on here. They are looking for more organoids; unfortunately for them it seems they haven't realized it has already awoken. He could hear Shadow slowly following behind him, finally heeding his master's warning. Stupid zoid.

He comes around a corner and sees a small 'base' set up. Raven slips back around the corner and peers around the edge. Ten or so guys, mostly scientists and a couple of soldiers. Another devilish grin crosses Raven's face. Too easy. Then he notices something he had seen a long time ago. A greenish egg-like capsule with wires surrounding the base and escaping from the top, into the ceiling. He frowns, resisting the urge to cringe. So, maybe this is what they have been here for and they didn't even know about the wandering organoid.

"They're all fools."

Raven finally rounds the corner and walks over to the group of men silently.

"Tsk, how did a boy get in here?" One of the soldiers grunts and stomps over to Raven, "Halt! State your business, kid."

Raven definitely didn't like being called kid but he let it slide for now. He was going to see what their little plan was. He glances over his own shoulder and sees Shadow lingering in the darkness. Finally, he obeys.

"I was being chased. By bandits." He makes up a lame story and has to force himself to keep the grin off his face. As if bandits could scare him. "I didn't know where else to go so I hid in these ruins. I won't tell anyone." He looks around, noticing how only one or two scientists had actually looked up from their work to acknowledge his presence.

"What do you think, Captain?" The soldier who confronted Raven looks back at the only other warrior there.

"Let the kid stay awhile, he's not hurting anything." The Captain walks over and ruffles Raven's hair then continues about his business. Raven had to bite his own tongue and clench his hands into tight fists to reframe from mauling the guy.

He shakes it off after a minute and goes back to looking at the capsule. "So, what is this?" He asks, feigning ignorance.

Most of the scientists, if not all, chuckle at his question. "Nothing for you to worry about, boy. Just know that the Republic benefits greatly from whatever we discover here."

I'm sure. Raven looks away just so he could roll his eyes. Idiots, all were doomed in his opinion. He walks over to a corner and sits down, the Republicans going on as if he had never interrupted their work. He notices Shadow watching him with great focus.

I know what you're saying. Why don't I just destroy everything? Well, for once, I am curious about what's in that… thing. Raven stares at the green capsule for the next few hours, night finally falling upon the ruins. Now, it was time.

All the Republic grunts had gone off into another room to get some sleep; only the one soldier remained, having kept his eye on Raven since he had arrived. Raven watched as the soldier's eyes started to droop and his shoulders slump.

Raven stands up and walks over to the nodding soldier.

"Time to sleep."

"Huh?" The soldier's eyes try to focus on him but Raven was too quick for his drowsy state. A quick, precise chop to the neck leaves the man unconscious, dropping to the floor with a slight thud.

"Alright, Shadow," He summons his organoid as he saunters over to the capsule. He looks over it and sees a flicker of blue light near the bottom. The release button was covered by a bundle of cords that spread across the floor. Either the scientists were idiots, which is what Raven thought anyways, or they were observing the infernal thing. Either way, Raven was curious and was going to press the button. He wasn't exactly surey what for, it's not like he needed another stupid organoid following him around.

He sneers and reaches for the button. Maybe Prozen would get off his back and let him have more fun in exchange for this thing. Raven pushes the button.

The capsule starts to crack from the top, steam flowing out of the openings making the temperature rise in the room a couple degrees. Raven shrugs off his cloak and peers on, the fog beginning to clear.

Then he feels something hard connect with his stomach and send him across the room. "Ack!" he grunts as he slides across the floor, clutching his stomach. He glances up to see the pale green organoid again, snarling at him. Shadow jumps in front of Raven sending a series of roars right back at the organoid.

That's when Raven sees what's really in the capsule. Not an organoid… not even something worth his time. A girl with golden eyes.
