I DON'T OWN ZOIDS.

Ch. 1

a blue haired woman with a red circle on her forehead and pale blue eyes woke in a cold sweat and breathing hard, she calmed down a bit when she realized where she was, a small fire was burning and the Geno Breaker was standing tall in front of her. It had been a year since Hiltz and the Deathsaurer incident and she was still having dreadful nightmares about Zoid Eve and the Deathsaurer.

"Reese, what's wrong?" a man with black hair, lavender eyes and a red seven with a dot on his right cheek asked sleepily.

"Just another nightmare," Reese replied while lying back onto her pillow before turning to face the man across the fire, "Raven, maybe we should be helping the Guardian Force, I mean we've been helping rebuild after the Deathsaurer, but maybe we could be doing more."

"you know we have to stay under the radar for now, it's only been a year, I think they would have a hard time believing that I've turned good guy after so long of destroying bases and villages, even if I did help kill the Deathsaurer," Raven said his voice laced with concern but still steady.

"Have you heard about this kid they call Wolf Novis?" Reese asked trying to remove her mind from her dreams.

"I've heard of him, they said he took out a couple of crime rings as an officer and that got him the quick promotion to Lieutenant, but that's about all I know," Raven paused to sip his coffee. "I also heard he pilots a Konig Wolf, but that's only the most common rumor about his Zoid no one can say for sure."

Reese broke down and started crying. Raven obviously taken aback by this sudden change of mood walked over and wrapped his arms around her.

"It was just a dream Reese, nothing to be worried about," the black haired man said in a comforting tone.

The next day they packed things up and started heading towards the next village they would be helping to rebuild. They took their time getting there, just over three days instead of two, and got to work helping anyone that needed it.

"It's a blessing you two have come, we could use as much help around here as we can get," an older gentlemen said as they unpacked the Geno Breaker.

"It's no problem, we're here to help anyone who needs it," Reese said shaking his hand.

"Well the women are making cloths for the children if you'd like to help them young lady, the men are rebuilding houses first," the old man said before leading them to a room they could stay in, "It's not much, but we don't have much right now."

"It will do for the time we'll be here," Raven said as politely as he knew how.

A few hours later Reese was learning rather slowly how to make clothing, and Raven was having an easy time building houses.

'I think I like building these places more than I did when I was destroying them,' the black haired man thought with a chuckle.

"So young man, what's your name?" A man about twice Raven's size asked him as they walked to get lunch.

"Raven," he replied in rather normal tone, hiding very well the concern he felt about giving his name.

"That young lady you came into town with must be The Blue Devil herself then," the man said sounding completely un-fazed by their names.

"How did you know that?" Raven asked in a cold tone.

"Take it easy Raven, we all know what you've done in the past, the Geno Breaker is a well known Zoid because of you, but what you're doing now is what matters, we need the help, and I'm not one to complain who it comes from as long as you don't come back and destroy it later," the big guy said with nothing but a friendly tone.

"What's your name?" Raven asked as they grabbed a few sandwiches and waters.

"I'm David, lived here most of my life and still know everyone here, if you need anything let me know," David responded before downing a full bottle of water without stopping.

Two days later, they had finished most of the village and were packing up to leave for yet another town to help out, as they were getting the Geno Breaker set for departure the village children waved their good byes as did a few adults.

"Hey Raven, are you two getting hitched sometime soon or what?" David shouted.

The Geno Breaker fell flat on its side from its pilot's shock and anger at the implication.

"WE'RE NOT DATING," both Raven and Reese screamed as the black haired pilot righted the large Zoid.

Shadow and Specular both laughed at the reaction from their masters while David was laughing his head off as were a few of the other villagers.

"Maybe we should think about dating," Reese whispered into Raven's ear from the back of the Breaker's cockpit while they powered through the desert.

This caused Raven to slam the large Zoid to a very sudden stop that caused Shadow and Specular to fly right passed it, and Reese to fly over the seat into the console in front of Raven, landing squarely on his lap.

"Reese, do you want to go out on a real date with me some time?" Raven asked with a cheeky grin on his face that earned him a slap across the face.

"You toss me into a console and expect me to go out with you, HA!" Reese said failing miserably to sound angry.

They arrived at a small city the next day, and had their first official date while Shadow and Specular stayed at the motel rooms they had gotten when they got to town, they also planned to help out a bit but it didn't seem to be needed in this particular town.

"So Raven, now that a lot of places are turning away our help since most have done the rebuilding themselves what can we do?" Reese asked as they waited for their food to arrive.

"I don't know, we could continue to look around and see if we could find some people that need help, or we could settle down somewhere and help out where we can," Raven replied looking out the window.

"Settling down doesn't sound so bad," Reese said quietly without thinking.

Two hours later they returned to the motel to find Shadow and Specular on the bed in one of their two rooms.

"Guess we share a room tonight," Raven said before thinking, Reese turned eight shades of red at his comment.

"Reese, are you okay? You look a little feverish," the lavender eyed man asked seeing Reese's face.

"Yeah, I'm alright, just a little warm is all I guess," the blue eyed woman replied in a small voice turning towards the other room.

Raven was a gentleman and let Reese have the bed while he slept on the couch. The next day they packed up and left to find a small town to settle down in for a while.

Two months went by they had been living in a small colony near the border between the Guylos Empire and the Helic Republic. They started working around town where ever they could, Raven was working at a local mill, Reese started babysitting and tutoring some of the children.

After five months Raven decided that it was time that they made their relationship a permanent one and asked Reese to marry him. A month after that they got married in the village church. Shadow and Specular continued to help their masters whenever they could; Shadow had gotten particularly good at chopping timbers with his tail blade. Reese and Specular had gotten very good at stopping misbehaving children without her psychic powers, Reese had developed a mother's stare that worked wonders and Specular just slammed her tail to the ground.

They spent a few months helping rebuild, and they had more help then they needed when Raven decided to build a house of their own in the village. Reese was so happy about his decision to settle there that she didn't even try to argue when he said she couldn't see the house till it was finished. It took two months to finish the house, and a whole lot of trying from Specular to keep a very excited Reese from tearing it down in one flying lap through it.

"Raven, how did you do all of this? It's amazing, I love it," Reese asked as she spun on her toes looking around the room they were in, her now shoulder length blue hair falling to one side before settling on either side of her face when she stopped.

"Pretty easy when you've got half the village helping you out," Raven said with a chuckle.

They lived there very happily for nearly half a year, until the Death Tiger and Razor blazed a whole new path of destruction for them to help rebuild.

"Raven, do we have to go?" Reese asked as she packed up her things.

"You don't if you don't want to sweetheart but, I think it would be good to get back out and help, I've gotten good with wood working, you've gotten great with kids, may as well put them to use where we're needed," Raven replied as he headed for the door to load his gear into the Geno Breaker.

"I guess he's right Specular, with our new found skills it would be of a great help to people," the blue haired woman said to her Organoid who nodded her agreement.
