I walked over to my Whale Kings' view port and stared out at Romeo City, my current destination. I am an assassin, only 17 and the best in the business. Other assassins consider my use of a sniper rifle archaic. My answer to them is, it's harder to find one man than it is to find a Zoid. My current target is Dr. Steven Toros. Rumors have been going around that he has been helping the republic and empire develop new Zoids. I know those rumors are true. I smiled to myself. Having sources on the inside is wonderful. That is why I believe that the Blitz team sold their old base and bought a new one on the outskirts of Romeo City. I turned away from the view port and walked over to the control panel. My black trench coat fluttered behind me as I walked.
"This is the Blue Whale King, requesting permission to land."
"Roger that Blue Whale King, permission granted."
I turned the auto pilot on and set it to land. A low growl came from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw my organoid Siege standing behind me. Most people were frightened by his appearance, but I consider him a thing of beauty. The sides of his face, elbows, shoulders, and hips were swept back, forming spines. He was a light blue color, close to that of one of my Zoids.
"Time to go Siege." I said in a tone uncommon for me. Been a long time since I've been in my home town. My tone surprised Siege, but he seemed to dismiss it. I use my emotions to my advantage, but happiness was not usually one of them.

After my Whale King had landed, Siege and I entered the Whale Kings' hanger. It contained one of the last remaining Dark Spiner type Zoids on Zi, and a Blade Liger.
"We'll be taking the Blade Liger." Siege nodded and merged with it.

After we left the airfield, we went around the city, to get a feel for the surroundings and so I could find a good sniping position. And I found the perfect spot. It was a three story building about three blocks away from the Toros base. I can easily drop from a three story building, and, being that it's one of the tallest buildings around, it wouldn't be hard to see someone coming. I stopped close to the building. Before I got out of the Liger, I reached inside my coat and pulled out a pair of shades to hide my hazel eyes. I knew I was a wanted man, and I recently found out that someone had noticed that I had hazel eyes. How they did was beyond me. Being that it was rare to find a person with hazel eyes, without the shades I might as well be wearing a sign that says 'Here I am!'. God it sucked to be me.

I climbed the stairs to the roof of the building and found a good spot. I looked down through my guns scope and into their living room. The Doc was standing right in front of the window. Just as I was going to pull the trigger, he walked out of view and his daughter, Leena, stepped in front of the window. I had seen pictures of her before, but I nearly fell off the building, I was so stunned. As I gathered myself and looked back through the scope, I saw her brother standing next to her. I frowned at what I saw. Leon Toros was very good at finding people that didn't want to be found. And I was one of those people.

As I was trying to figure out what to do, someone came up behind me. Looking over my shoulder, I saw the person had a shotgun. Powerful, but not to discrete. 'He fires that and I'll be found.'. So I telepathically called Siege and told him to bring the Liger under the spot I was at. A few seconds later, I heard the familiar pounding of the Ligers' footsteps and fell backwards off the building and onto the Liger. I looked back and saw the person on their cell phone.
"Shit! We've got to get outta this area now Siege." The Liger roared in agreement, no doubt Sieges' doing.

Back at my Whale King, I flipped on the news. I had only been near the base a few minutes ago, and it was already swarming with reporters. Lovely. Well, now I'm gonna have to find a new spot.

The next day, I had gone to a local café to find out what had been going on in the city lately. For some reason, I was bold enough to have Siege accompany me. With Siege curled up at my feet, I took another sip of my tea. I turned to the TV screen to watch the Zoid battle that was currently being shown. At that precise moment, the Blitz team walked in the door. I nearly dropped my cup. 'You've got to be kidding me! The perfect opportunity, and too many witnesses.' I thought to myself. They all walked by me, except for Leena, she had gone to the ladies room. As she walked by to join her father and teammates, she noticed Siege. She stopped, turned around, and stared at him. Siege lifted his head, and tilted it to one side, questioningly. I actually started to sweat, thinking she knew who I was. Instead of doing what I thought she would do, she sat down across from me.
"Is that what I think it is?" she asked motioning to Siege.
"Well, what do you think it is?" I said.
"I think it's an organoid."
"Bingo." Her jaw dropped instantly.
"But I thought there were no organoids left!"
"Apparently you were wrong." I said, glancing over at her teammates, who were eyeing me. I frowned at this.
"What's up?" she asked, filling my vision.
"Nothing, it's nothing."
"Right. Don't you think it's a little dark in here for those shades?"
"I'm fine." I insisted.
"Come on, lemmie see the eyes of the man with the organoid."
"No." She reached over and snatched them off my face. She then looked on in amazement.
"There, are you happy?" I said, angry.
"Hazel, wow, you don't often see people with hazel eyes."
"I know." I said, grabbing my shades back and setting them on my trench coat next to me. I took another sip of my tea.
"Leena? Leena where are you?"
"Oh no..." Leena and I said in unison. Harry Champ had appeared out of nowhere. He walked over to the booth I was in. I started to sweat again.
"Hey Harry." said Leena, apparently unhappy.
"Who's this?" Harry said, pointing at me.
"Don't know yet. Oh Harry look at what's lying near his feet."
Harry looked down and saw Siege. I'm surprised he didn't hit the ceiling when he jumped. I couldn't help but laugh. When Harry figured that Siege was no threat he came back over and stood next to the table.
"You Dare Laugh at the King!"
"Spare me." I shot back.
"Don't worry, Siege is harmless, as long as you don't get him angry."
"Well, hazel eyes, what's your name?" asked Leena. I glared at her angrily for her remark. She could tell I wasn't pleased, and that made her smile even wider.
"Huh? Hazel eyes?" Harry said, looking very confused.
"My eye color you moron."
"Oh."
"So what's your name?" asked Leena again. I finished my tea, got my bill and paid, and got up to leave, putting my shades back on.
"My name, is Kevin." I said, and then headed for the exit. Siege got up and started following me.
"Kevin huh? Well it was nice meeting you." she called after me. For some odd reason, I waved in acknowledgement.

"Who was that?" said Bit walking up to Leena.
"So guy named Kevin. He's got hazel eyes and an Organoid."
"You don't say." said Bit, lost in thought.

"Why you keep your glasses off so long and tell her your name?" asked Siege.
"I don't know, there's something about that girl."
"I thought you said you were never going to let anyone get close to you again after what happened."
"I know Siege, I know."
