Zoids: The Lost Ages
After having some heavy tests in High as well as other things to take care of, I'm finally back into F. Fiction. With a vengeance. Nah, just back. Anyways, I'm starting this one and I'm going to finish it unlike the others which sadly I only have time to begin but then something has to come up. (If you check them out and like them and want to continue them yourself, just get an e-mail my way and we'll see what we can arrange from there) By the way, I would like to say that I inspired myself for this project from the story, "Seeing The World In Gray" By RaiKinoshin. really recommend it to everyone.
A/N: Sorry, this time I excluded all Zoids from this Fiction. They will however be mentioned later on. Carry on.
Chapter 1
Fallen
The red sky had been up since dawn. The sun had sheepishly been blocked since the harvesting season began. The red of the cold gas was the only thing to see these days. As the Jo-Cats went by the sky collecting the valuable mineral, people below went about with their business. Two of them who were very familiar with each, Bit Cloud and Leena Toros.
"I hate this season, its got to be the worst ever," Bit laughed at her comment which was accompanied by an angry yet funny gesture. Both 17, their lives were among the peaceful republicans of Zane, AKA "The Young Planet"
Zane had almost everything they could need. Laws were sometimes unfair and very strict however, but this still kept a simple life. A farmer's life mostly. Bit, however, was an inspired warrior. He often competed in the town tribune races where he had been victorious more than once.
"Leena, sometimes you just go the extra mile, don't you?" Leena tried to keep serious but in the end just came out laughing with him. As they neared the water bank, they sat down in their favorite boulder. "You know, at times I dream we were once in another planet. In another universe." her eyes gazed into the red sky showing that she indeed believed in her words.
"Me too," he added, "I can even feel the wind closing around me. In a better place than this. A place anyone would want to call home. Not like this crappy gas-full place." Leena's turn to laugh.
As both headed home, they said their goodbyes as usual, "Hey, remember, the Annual Season Festivities are tomorrow. I want you dressed nice, ok?" Bit rolled his eyes jokingly and mockingly answered, "Yes, mother," Leena laughed, "Whatever, see ya, Bit." both waved and went their ways.
"Honestly, Bit, I'm tired of telling you, that girl is pure trouble. Always inviting you to this crazy Festivities the town holds. You should use that time to work on your schoolings. You've been pretty low on your Gatho," Bit kept on stirring his meal which consisted of chunks of bread on some other spices. "Honey, are you even listening to me?" Bit nodded and his mother kept on fussing with him through the rest of the meal.
"Bit!" his eyes opened in the pitch black. Someone had awoken him. "Bit, wake up!" though they were merely whispers, they were Leena's whispers. "Leena? Its two am, what are you doing here?" Leena looked around, "Were in danger, they just posted notices up on the posts." Leena handed him one of such which read:
To The Town Of Dyad,
Hear my word, and be warn, the Dark Sir approaches at top speed. We are all in great danger. Warn thou relative and befriend thou neighbor. We're are destined to war and to war we shall march by our honor and dignity.
Slate B.,
Commissioner
Bit dropped the letter and pulled Leena inside, "We've got to tell dad and mo--" Bit watched as his father packed clothes and rags into a bag. "B-Bit, what are you doing up?" asked his mother nervously, "Leena brought bad news from town." Leena waved a hello towards her, "Well, this time she is right, Bit, your father is a recruited man now. He will serve the Dyad Militia in honor of us." Bit could notice his fathers eyes which held fear and anger, "Are thou afraid, father?" his guider shook his head, "I'm not afraid of what we'll face, my son, I'm fearful of what will happen to you and your mother and even Leena there. That's what bothers my mind on such time. Sylvia, I must leave, I wish you farewell and good life if such may not be with me no more."
As he opened the door, a gust came into the house full of sand. Brave outside, fearful inside. Bit shook his head and ran after him crying out his name, "Bit!" Sylvia threw her arms across the girls path, "He'll return," indeed he did after seeing that his father was now aboard one of the Militia's Transporters.
Bit couldn't sleep at all the whole night and unfortunately, Leena felt bad for bringing him up in the middle of the night only to see his father be taken into war. It he was 18, he would have been besides his father as well.
"Bit?" Sylvia placed her wrinkled hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, your father will make it back, I'm sure of it." Bit smiled but kept his focused on the wall, onto emptiness.
"Mrs. Cloud, may I stay here tonight?" after a last glare at her disillusioned son, she was sure that Leena could be his best help right now.
"Bit," she began once his mother left, "Bit, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of your father of my family. Of everything, Bit. No matter thy cause, I need you more right now." Leena broke into soft cries, "That's why I'm here, Leena, we'll make it through this, you'll see. We'll make it like everyone else." How he wished he knew it was true, unfortunately for him, The Dark Army was but meters from the town's entrance.
