Chapter 9: The Blaze Begins
Blaise sat on the forefoot of the Shield Liger, looking out over the plains. A pair of Bison-Zoids were grazing, eating the grass and feeding it to the living core in the center of the mechanical body. Blaise had been like those cores once. All organoids started life as a Zoid core. Over time they evolved enough to leave the Zoid body behind.
Once against she wondered if Sykes was looking for her. Last night she hadn't slept a wink. She'd dreamed of Sykes, with glowing blue eyes, driving his member deep into her sex. She'd woken up almost instantly, disgusted. Mating in this weak body? It was absurd, and disgusting, and totally uncalled for. Yet, oddly right. Blaise laid back against the leg and tried to sleep.
(Dream)
Blaise writhed against Sykes, her long, muscular legs wrapped around his waist. He braced himself on his arms and began to pump without abandon, pushing both of them closer and closer to the edge. They went over the edge together, screaming in chorus.
Wrapped in orgasm's sweet embrace, Blaise drew deep breaths as the shudders stopped in her own body. Sykes however, leaned down on her and whispered in her ear.
"I love you."
(End dream)
Blaise lunged forwards, sweat making her skin slick. She jumped off of the Shield Liger's forepaw and bent over to retch. Yuck! Humans and their mating rituals should keep to themselves! Blaise felt something deep in her belly. No more thinking of Mating! The dreams were bad enough! Blaise wouldn't be able to sleep for a week.
"Pirates!" Tifa cried. Blaise looked up. Yes, four or five Sabre Tigers. Blaise quickly ran towards the Shield Liger and climbed into the cockpit. The Zoid was ancient, but much more powerful than Saber Tigers. The Liger was suddenly under heavy beam rifle fire.
"Try this on for size." Blaise snarled, and fired the double-barreled shock cannon on the Zoid's underbelly. The lead Zabre Fang tripped and exploded. The Zabre Fangs continued to fire. Beam Shots suddenly rained down on the Pirate Zoids. Blaise looked, and, low and behold, Josh and Leman were sitting in their Command Wolves.
"What are you doing here?" Blaise snarled angrily.
'Saving your ass!' said Sykes's voice, and the Schneider leapt over the Command wolves and the Shield Liger, and charged the Zabre Fangs, both blades at max power. The two remaining Zabre fangs jumped at the Liger, jaws open. Sykes jumped the Schneider backwards, then lunged on the first, clamping its jaws down on the Zoid's neck. Electricity started to run across both Zoids. Sykes kicked off the Tiger and jumped away just as the Pirate Zoid exploded. Sykes turned the Liger zero just enough to see the remaining Zabre fang. It charged, jaw gaping. Sykes didn't have the time to turn.
Blaise rammed the saber tiger with the e-shield active, knocking the Zoid down. As the Zoid got up, Sykes charged.
"Schneider slash!" The Saber Tiger fell as the energy-charged blade ran it though, leaving it a smoking wreck.
"Sykes! I had the situation under control, dammit, and why did you come after me?"
"When did you get a human Form? I evolve to find I can feel your thoughts, and you're gone!" Sykes snarled right back.
"I got a human form before you were born, Sykes!"
'You two bicker like an old married couple.' Josh offered.
"Shut up!" they chorused at the Command Wolf.
"Whore!"
"Jock!"
"Fang ass!"
"Arse face!"
"Slut!"
"Gigolo!"
Sykes paused. "Okay, you win."
"Go away! I don't need your help!"
"Prove it!"
"Why you!" Blaise charged, the e-shield blazing to life around the Liger. Sykes returned the charge, activating his own Zoid's e-shield. The two barriers of energy met with a bang and a cackle of electricity. An explosion suddenly sent both Ligers flying backwards. As they went back to their feet, the e-shields flickered, still active, but without the power to provide protection.
Blaise fired. Sykes dodged, then returned fire. The lance of red energy swept across the Shield Liger's side, making the armor turn red from the heat. Blaise jumped the Schneider. Sykes started to turn, but was rammed broadside and flipped. Sykes gave a burst of the Schneider's boosters and righted it.
Suddenly, the air around them was filled with beam gatling fire. Blaise and Sykes jumped out of the barrage. Both looked.
"What the Fuck?" the chorused.
Yeah, yeah, okay, short chapter. Or not. Dunno, you decide, people seem so willing to annoy me and Not REVIEW! I pay attention, you land lovers! Hmm, I fear I may have gone totally and irreversibly insane. Irreversibly. Hmm. I like the sound of that. Anywho, (WTF! Where did I learn to talk like that!?) next chapter may have some songfic, I haven't decided yet. I fi do, it's gonna be 'In the End,' by Linkin Park.
