Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids! The battle between Van and Raven is a real one, it actually happened in one of the episodes, so I didn't write that part, and it's not mine.
I'm Back with Chapter 10. I hope that you enjoy it! I also wanted to give a big thanks to everyone that has reviewed so far!
Chapter: 10
Raven walked outside onto the balcony and took in a deep breath, and let it out. He watched as the clouds of carbon dioxide faded away into the dark star lit sky. Winter was near, but that was the furthest thing from Raven's mind.
'Why were those guys going after Alexandria and who sent them? There are only a couple of people that know about Alexandria; Viola and Prozen. It had to be that good for nothing Prozen. He was pissed of at me because I refused to bring her to him, and fight Van. He is just looking for some payback.'
Flashback
"What is it?" Raven snapped
"That's no way to treat your superiors, (Raven rolled his eyes) especially when they have some valuable information." Prozen stated
"Oh and what will this valuable information be?" Raven said sarcastically
"Van and his sidekick were last spotted at coordinates 50 E and 100 S that is approximately 50 miles away from where you are. I would like for you to take them down for me. Actually, no. I just don't want you to take them down, I want them destroyed. That's an order." Prozen said arrogantly.
Raven turned around and glared at the girl and gritted his teeth before he turned back around. 'I can't take her into battle with me. She will be injured no doubt, and I definitely don't want that to happen. Why am I acting this way anyways? Usually having someone in the back seat wont have any kind of affect on me. I know that I have feelings for this girl, but I didn't know that they would make me like this.'
"I refuse." Raven simply said
'That's really weird. How can Raven decline a fight like that? In the show, Raven and Van were enemies and anytime that they had a time to fight no one would back down. Raven is acting really different lately. Could it be me? I know that before he answered the question he looked back at me. That has to count for something doesn't it?' Alexandria thought.
"You refuse one of my orders?" Prozen asked disappointment lingering in his voice
"Did you just hear me or not? I don't take orders from you or anyone." Raven snapped
"Hn. That's not like you at all Raven, is that little prisoner of yours keeping you away from fighting?" Prozen asked
"Leave her out of this Prozen!" Raven yelled
"Well fine, if you decide to not fight Van then you will hand the girl over as soon as you get here." Prozen said.
"Hn. Can your brain process anything? Obviously not because I already told you that I don't take orders from you or anyone." Raven stated with annoyance in his voice.
Alexandria was curious about the whole conversation thing so she decided to peak her head out, so she could see Prozen on the coma-link
"Well Raven I guess that I can't blame you for liking the girl, after all she is a pretty one." Prozen stated
"Huh? How did--" Raven stopped when he turned his head and saw that Alexandria was peaking out from the back seat. He quickly took his hand and shoved her back into her seat.
"Tisk, tisk, tisk Raven. That's no way to treat a lady." Prozen said
"Once again, leave her out of this. Now if your all done I have better things than to sit here and listen to you and your antics." Raven angrily said. He quickly turned off his coma link before Prozen had the ability to say something back.
End Flashback
"BOOM BOOM!"
"Huh?" Raven turned his attention to the towards the noise. His eyes widened at the scene. He saw a snake-like Zoid and a blue Blade Liger.
'What is Van doing here? We went the opposite way he was going. Unless, he was fallowing me. So the boy wants a challenge? Well he's going to get one.' Raven thought
Raven ran back into the room to get Alexandria, and tell her to gather all of their things and to start heading for the Geno Saurer.
A little while later...
"Okay, now I'm going to drop you off in this canyon because I'm going to fight this one guy and I don't want to take any chances of you getting hurt." Raven said as he maneuvered his Zoid to fly into a canyon.
"Wait, so I'm going to say here? Alone?" Alexandria asked a sence of worryness in her voice.
Raven nodded and opened the cockpit for her to get out. Alexandria was going to jump out when Raven asked her "Aren't you forgetting something?" Alexandria shook her head meaning no. Raven just smirked and pulled Alexandria into a kiss.
"Raven...I-" Alexandria was silenced by Raven's index finger on her lips.
"Just go." That was all he said.
Meanwhile...
"Hn. I always knew Raven to be smart and to catch onto these kind of things, but he really got outsmarted this time. Now we will have his girlfriend and immediately deliver her to lord Prozen. Prozen will be so proud of us. He also told me that she had to be delivered to him ASAP." Chad told Rapuki
"I don't know how we are going to get there as soon as possible because we are three days away from the imperial capital." Rapuki told chad while looking at Raven and Alexandria threw binoculars.
"Well, were going to have to travel as fast as we can. I can reasure you that Raven wont be able to fallow us. He wont even know what happened!" Chad was beaming
"I wouldn't underestimate the guy though. He is bound to find out sooner or later, but the plan is so good I wonder if he will ever figure it all out. Ha exactly how we planned...look." Rapuki handed his binoculars over to Chad.
Chad took the binoculars and smirked as well. "We got her right where we want her."
Back to Raven and Alexandria...
A tear fell from one of Alexandria's sky blue eyes.
"Why are you crying?" Raven asked
"B-because I don't want you to get hurt." Alexandria admitted
"I'm going to be okay. Just promise me that you will be here when I get back. I shouldn't be long at all." Raven told Alexandria
"I promise. Raven, please be careful!" Alexandria yelled out once she jumped out of the cockpit. He just nodded and closed his cockpit and sped away.
"Oh god, what am I going to do with him being gone?" Alexandria asked herself while watching the Geno Breaker speed off into the distance.
"Well you can always come with us." Chad stated.
Alexandria gasped and turned around to meet the gaze of the short green haired man.
"Who are you! Why are you fallowing me and Raven around?" Alexandria asked starting to back away from the two men.
"Why are you backing away from us? Are you scared?" Rapuki asked.
"N-no" Alexandria responded
"Doesn't sound like it." Chad implied smirking
"Listen, I really don't know what you or your friends plans are-" Alexandria was cut of by Chad's loud deep voice.
"Or what Raven is going to come and save you? Well that's not going to happen. He doesn't even know that we are here. As a matter of fact, he is probably too busy fighting Van to come and save you anyways." Chad said with a smirk.
'Oh no' Alexandria thought. She knew that those guys were right. 'What is going to happen to me?!'
Raven and Van's fight...
"Raven, What are you doing here?" Van asked surprised
"You can't really be surprised to see me, Ill go on until I destroy you once and for all" Raven declared as he was walking towards the blade liger preparing for their attacks.
Suddenly, Irvine and Van got on opposite sides of the Geno Saurer and started shooting and jumping on it, but Raven was prepared. Irvine kept on shooting at Raven, and his patience was running thin.
"You are on my nerves!" Raven yelled at Irvine
Raven used one of his hyper-claws and dragged the Command Wolf over to the Geno Saurer. In no time, Raven started to pound the Geno Saurer's foot onto the Command Wolf. Once Raven was sure Irvine was out of the battle he turned his attention to his worst enemy. Raven started warming up his charged particle gun. Instead of the Blade Liger trying to get out of the way of the charged particle beam, Van started to run towards it.
'Is he an idiot?' Raven asked himself
Raven shot the beam, but Van was able to deflect it with his shield. Van was only able to cut of the Geno Saurer's right arm with that attack.
"Impressive he obviously upgraded his shields power". The dark fighter admitted.
Van charged at the Geno Saurer again, and Raven started charging up the charged particle beam.
"This is it Raven!" Van yelled
"Probably, but not for me". Raven spat back
He then shot the charged particle beam at Van, and this time he used the pulse laser guns. This time, Van wasn't able to deflect the beam, and Van went flying backwards. He started to run but Raven wasn't going to let that happen, so Raven started shooting his pulse laser guns in front of the blade liger so it couldn't move forward, out of the next charged particle beams way.
"Not so fast my friend" Raven said
Raven was charging up the charged particle beam again. This time shot it directly at Van using the laser guns once again. Van's shield wasn't able to deflect the beam anymore and it was shut down. Raven started to walk towards the fallen Blade liger, and stopped 20 feet in front of it. Raven was charging up his charged particle beam and failed to notice the Gustav that was blocking his way.
"I may not have the weapons but I've got armor as thick as your head, I'd like to see if you can get threw me!" Moonbay yelled.
Raven fired the cbp anyways, and much to Raven's disappointment the beam wasn't able to get threw the armor of the snail-like zoid, but he was quite pleased with the damage he did to her Zoid.
"Ha. That will teach her for interfering." Raven stated with a smirk prying on his lips.
Raven started to advance towards the Blade Liger once again.
'Finally this brat will be gone. Gone forever.' Raven thought with joy. He was brought out of his thoughts when the controls on the Geno Saurer stopped working.
"The controls aren't working. Why are you doing that Shadow why aren't you listening to my control commands?!" Raven yelled at his organoid
Shadow growled
"What about her? Is she ok?" Raven asked. His anger disappeared when he knew who Shadow was talking about.
"Roaaar!" (No, We have to get to her!)
"Hurry up get to the canyon then!" Raven yelled as the two of them sped towards the canyon at full speed.
