love Karl Schubaltz, but I haven't written a story just for him yet. So here it is. This will be a one shot unless I get enough reviews to continue.

Disclaimer: I don't own zoids, but I will be adding characters that are mine.

A Black Angel and her Cat

Colonel Schubaltz opened his eyes from a long and deep sleep. His head ached and when he went to rub his temples to ease the head ache, he found his head had been bandaged.

Very slowly, he began to remember what had happened. He, the guardian force, Colonel Herman and Capt. O'Connell had gone after a large group of bandits with thirty or so men. During the battle, the bandit leader managed to get Schubaltz to turn his back to a canyon waterfall. A few careful hits from the bandit leader sent Schubaltz down the waterfall in his customized Saber Fang. Some how the Colonel had gotten out of his zoid and to the river bank after going down the waterfall. That was where his memory ended.

After a look around the oasis where Schubaltz was now, he came to the conclusion that someone had found him and brought him even farther away from the battlefield. They had even built a fire that was blazing with life. Schubaltz tried to push himself up but found it harder than normal.

"I'm glad to see you are up, but you shouldn't try to move just yet," a young woman who looked about Schubaltz's age. Behind her was an organoid that he had never seen before. It looked like a miniature Hel Cat that was painted black. Its claws and teeth were gold. On its armor someone had stamped a cat preparing to pounce in gold.

Schubaltz laid back down and turned to the woman. "Did you save me?"

"Yes, I found you at the river," the woman said cheerfully. She had curly brown hair pulled back into a ponytail and deep chocolate brown eyes. Her smile sent warm waves of happiness through out Schubaltz's body. She wore a black t-shirt and a pair of dark blue, ripped up jeans. "My name is Alex and this is Cat. What are you starring at?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking that I might be in heaven, but you are wearing the wrong color to be an angel. I am Col..." Schubaltz was interrupted by Alex placing a finger on his lips.

"No last names and no formalities and no one will get hurt," Alex whispered.

Schubaltz thought this over and found the logic in it. Alex was probably part of a group of mercenaries and the less she knew about him, the safer they would both be. "My name is Karl."

"Go back to sleep, Karl," Alex said. "Your friends will be here soon."

The next time Schubaltz awoke he was in a Whale King. His brother Thomas stood off to one side with the rest of the Guardian Force and Herman. "What? Where?" was all Schubaltz managed to whisper.

"We found you in an oasis about ten to twenty miles down river from the waterfall you fell from," Herman explained. "Something led us right to you. It appears that someone had taken care of you, but we didn't see anyone."

"Do you know who saved you Colonel?" Fiona asked kindly.

"Yeah," Schubaltz whispered, "a black angel and her pet cat."

No one knew what he meant.

Not far from the base Alex and Cat were returning to their group of "friends". Alex had Karl on her mind. 'Such gorgeous eyes, like a cat's.'

"Alexandria!" the leader of bandits asked the young girl.

Alex smile dropped. "Yes Daddy?"

"Where were you during the battle?" Alex's father pressed.

"I thought I saw a stray cat so I went to go look," Alex said. After hearing this, her father left. Alex loved cats and it wasn't unusual for her to bring a stray to the base. "But I found something much better instead."
