Chapter One: The Runaway
It was early in the morning at the Backdraft home base. Everyone
was asleep, except a dark haired, dark eyed girl. Fifteen year old Rivera
Obscura, the older sister of Vega Obscura, snuck to the hanger where her
Hellcat and her Storm Sworder were kept. She unlocked the door with her
keycard and walked to her Hellcat. It growled softly.
"Quiet Hellcat," she whispered, "if they hear us, we'll never get out."
She climbed into the cockpit and started pushing buttons.
"I'm installing the program that allows me to talk to both you and
Storm Sworder while I'm in one cockpit," she explained.
She finished her work and crawled out of the cockpit. "I'm going to
be in Storm Sworder, will you be able to follow?"
The Hellcat swished its tail and growled again.
"Great."
Rivera crept across the hanger and crawled into her Storm Sworder.
"Let's do it. Ready Hellcat?"
She heard its reply.
"How about you Storm Sworder?"
She heard it answer softly.
"Okay, here goes."
The Storm Sworder took off and suddenly, red lights started flashing
and sirens started blaring.
"You have an unauthorized departure. Stop immediately."
"Fat chance," whispered Rivera under her breath. "Storm Sworder,
shoot down the door! Make sure that you and Hellcat can get through."
She pressed a button on her controls and felt the powerful guns that
she had equipped her Zoid with fire and heard the metal door fall to the
ground. The Storm Sworder and the Hellcat dashed through into the night.
"We did it!" exaulted Rivera.
A beeping noise stopped her rejoicing. She looked down at her panel
to see a flying object behind her.
"Great, just great."
Her Storm Sworder lurched violently in the air, she had been shot.
"We can defeat it it! Hellcat, shoot that Zoid down!" shouted Rivera
as
she tried to keep her damaged Zoid balanced.
Firing noises answered her as she saw the flying Zoid behind her
plummet to the ground.
"Yes! I knew that you can do it!"
Her Storm Sworder turned violently again.
"Storm Sworder, do you think that you can hold out a little bit
longer? Will you still be able to fly?"
It screamed a metallic scream in answer. They were losing altitude
at an alarming rate. They were almost hitting the ground.
"This can't be happening!" she whispered. "I'm going to die."
She closed her eyes and waited for the end. Then she opened them
again and looked at the picture of her and Vega.
"At least I won't die alone," she said. "Delos re loco feta. Always my
little brother."
