A/N- Hey everyone. This is my first Zoids fic, so go easy on me. I
absolutely adore Raven, so I needed a story mainly about him. Please review
and tell me what you think. Flames are welcome. And, if I have any mistakes
about anything, let me know and I'll try to fix them. (I know this sound
corny. If you like Dragonball Z, you should check out my fic 'Psycho
Saiyan'.)
Disclaimer- Ok, well, most of this story is not true. I don't own any one except for Gina, and I only made up the name Taylor, and I'll call Raven's parents Margaret and Steven.
********************Gina
It was a cold, quiet day when she was sent to her grandparents. She was only nine years old, five years older than her brother, Taylor. Her father was a scientist who was working on a current project involving organoids, and needed to move the family to planet Zi. She and her brother had always been in the way of their father's studies, and were often sent to stay with their grandparents. This had started when Taylor was only about a year old. Gina felt he had never gotten the attention that he needed and deserved. She could tell that he would grow up to be a very bright man one day, and he would make an excellent zoid pilot. The only problem was, because his father had ignored him for as long as he could remember, he hated zoids. Gina sighed.
This was the last time she would see her family for a year while they left to study on Zi. She couldn't imagine why anyone would want to leave the beautiful Blue Planet that they called home, but had a certain understanding of her father's reasons. Taylor was only going because he was far too young to live with his aging grandparents, who had not handled children for such long periods of time. She would miss Taylor. He looked up to her and admired her more than he did his parents. He ran into her arms and she embraced him tightly.
"I'll miss you, Gi-Gi," he said quietly. Gi-Gi was his nickname for her, and she often called him just plain old Tay. They had an unusual bond, since they played with each other so much while their parents were working. Gina had promised their mother that she would look after Taylor when they were left unaided.
"I'll miss you to, Tay. Be good for me." Her parents took Taylor by the hand and kissed her good bye and gave all of the important information, such as doctors, schools, friends, etc., to Gina and Taylor's grandparents. Without further ado, they turned and boarded the ship that would take them to planet Zi, their home for the next year. Gina let her tears fall freely down her cheeks as she watched them disappear into the endless blue blanket above them. She prayed for their health and safety, all the while waving her hand in the air calling out good-byes to the sky, not believing they would hear her, nor expecting that they would.
And so the days passed. The days turned to weeks, the weeks turned to months, and her tenth birthday passed. Gina had been keeping in touch with her parents and brother, and from what she understood, the organoid pod would soon be ready. Then her family could finally come home. She came home from school one day in a particularly good mood. Her grandfather was out at work in a pharmacy, and her grandmother was at work in a local flower shop. The phone rang, and Gina figured it was her best friend, who always called her after school. She answered, "Hello?"
"Am I speaking to the lady of the house?" an unknown voice said from the other end of the line.
"No, she's not available, and neither is He. Can I take a message?"
"Is this Gina?"
"Yes. Can I help you with something, sir?" Gina was trying to be polite, but that didn't help the uneasiness in her tone of voice.
"You may want to sit down. This is Curtis Smith of the Guardian Force Emergency Squad of planet Zi. And I am very sorry to inform you that there has been an accident involving your family. The organoid they were working with attacked and killed both of your parents, may their souls rest in peace. Your brother was severely injured, and is still unconscious. It is still unknown if he will have any permanent damage, but he is being cared for." Gina went numb. "He will be living with one of our best zoid pilots, and we will inform you of any progress in his condition. We're sorry for your loss." And with that, Curtis hung up the phone.
Gina ran upstairs and wept in her room until her grandparents came home, both much earlier than usual. They had heard about this turn of events and wept with her. Gina's life was about to change, but she had no idea as to how much it would.
A/N- Trust me, this is a Zoids fic. I know it doesn't seem like that right now, but I needed to put this. I'll update as soon as I can. See ya!
