AN: Who doesn't love a filler? I know I do! grins

Anyway, I've wanted to write a chapter like this for a long time. If I wasn't going for a one word title for each chapter I might just call it: 'When Blind People Are Released Into An Unsuspecting Town'.

Muwaahahahaha!

Anyway, I feel the need to mention my dear friend Out/Wolfy. An Outcats's Shadow, is her name (you owe me ten bucks for the ad). And she was been telling everyone that I owe her manga back, and complaining about it.

Well here's what I have to say:

Ha! You're not gettin' it!

Jking.

The reason I still have it is because she gave it to me two weeks go and we didn't catch up last weekend. So don't pin this on me! pouts

Disclaimer: I don't own zoids, the manga, the anime, or anything to do with it (sadly) yet. That's right, yet. I'm workin on it.

Ahem, anywaym I do however own Blue, Jigura, this fic and Allera Rock, though I don't mind if you use Jigura and Allera rock in your fics, but pm me if you ever want to use Blue.

Total count of interested writers: 0, not including me.

And now onto the story!


SMACK!

"There's a pole there…"

Van and Zeke turned around. Blue was touching a pole with one hand while the other gently covered her bruised head.

"I keep forgetting she's blind." Van admitted as he held her arm and led her around the pole.

Zeke had a sweat drop and a twitchy eye.

"So why do you have to wear that visor anyway?" Van asked. "You said you could see without it…"

She nodded. "It's for protection. People freak out when they look into my eyes."

"Aww come on, they can't be that bad."

Fiona tripped him, pretending it was accidental.

"Ouch! Fiona!"

"What happened, Van?"

"Huh? I could have sworn…"

"You fell over by yourself." Blue lied, supporting Fiona who gave her a dodgy look.


Raven relaxed with Shadow curled around him. It was the first time since Blue had come into the picture that he'd been able to. Shadow's tail was draped over his legs and Raven's head was into his partner's chest. The bright purple eyes of the organoid were relaxed and watched over the human as he drifted off. Shadow laid his head back down. The organoid knew he'd be able to rest later, but for now he had to make sure Raven slept safely.

"Why are we stopping here?" Blue asked. All she could see was a crowd of colour and Van talking to a man two or so metres away. He picked up something from thin arm and put it into what Blue had learned was a bag. She reached out and felt a wooden stall. "I get it…" She whispered and then trotted after Van, Zeke and Fiona as they started walking away. "Wait!" She cried, lowing 'sight' of them. But in the busy place they couldn't hear her call.

"Oh man…" She gulped, gripping tightly to the edge of a wooden stall. "How will I get back?"

Shadow stood up sharply. His partner hit his head hard on the metal, cursing and watching his partner. The organoid stared out into the distance, his body tense like a hunting dog's.

"What is it?" The boy asked wearily and stood up.

It's strange but…

Raven waited patiently. He doubted there was any need to rush. Nothing could be strong enough to defeat him now. Hiltz, Reese and Hanna only managed to get close because he had Blue holding him back.


The girl made her way through the crowd, weaving in and out of people easily. If I follow anyone they'll get angry at me… She knew and sighed hopelessly, trying to make her way through back to Van's place. She looked around for the boy, hoping to see his colour. Nothing came.

She ran through the town impatiently, running into another pole.

"Ouch!" She picked herself up again and realised she had no idea where she was. Gulping, she touched the pole. "I was going this way!" Getting her position completely wrong she hit a wall.

"This sucks."

"Blue!"

The girl turned quickly with a smile on her face. "Maria!"

"Are you alright?"

"I got lost!" She cried, throwing herself onto Van's sister.

"We've been looking for you." The brother said, walking up to them. "It's time to leave."

"Van…I'm sorry…I couldn't keep up."

He nodded. "That's alright, but we have to go. You do want to see Raven again don't you?"

She nodded, glad that Van was looking out for her. She liked both boys, Van was so kind and trusting, but she was drawn to Raven by fate.

I just hope…he learns to accept this.


I think she's calling. Shadow finished. She feels happy.

The wind picked up, blowing Raven's cloak lazily. "I guess we're stuck with her again."

Shadow growled his agreement and took off to greet her. Zeke cowered as the black one came close. Not wanting a repeat of Porto when he was smashed into the ground.

Van watched motionless Raven on top his zoid. He could have sworn he saw a nod of acknowledgement before the Blue returned to him on Shadow's back.

"Wait!" Van called, remembering something Donnie had said.

The boy paused before melding with Shadow and faced the Liger pilot.

"Can you tell us anything about Zoid Eve?"

"She will be your downfall…if Prozen has his way."

Van's eyes widened and the Fury left them.
