AN: I wrote this instead of the third chapter to Stormer. I'm gonna do it on a one chapter each basis-thingy. But I got inspiration to have part of Blue's past as the next chapter, and hell, it makes for good character developement. Coz let's face it, you guys knew nuthin of Blue.

I will update Stormer soon though.

Purple!? Okay, I knew this would cause confusion, so I have finally decided to tell you why. This is based off the manga, and in the manga Shadow's eyes are purple, so is Raven's Zi Mark. Not Blue, not red. Sorry about the confusion guys! Insert nervous laughter here.

Disclaimer: I do not own zoids yet, I do not own the characters either.

However, most of the characters from Blue's past are mine even if they don't all have names yet, so is Blue, Allera Rock and Jigura. This fic is aslo mine along with all it's typos :3

"I brought you a present." He said in a childish voice as he entered. He then raised an eyebrow. "That's a wall you're staring at."

She nodded. "I know, but the closest I'll ever get to the sky." She answered. "And you should really knock. I'm not covered."

He sighed and closed his eyes. The girl walked over to her bed, grabbed the cloth and tied it over her eyes.

"Done."

He smiled. "Good! Now you can take your gift!"

She did and placed it on the bed. There was no point in opening it now.

"Why don't they at least let me have a window?" She asked, leaning against the bed post.

"Probably because they know you'll try to escape."

"I wouldn't if they just took me outside now and then."

"But Blue, you know that they won't."

She nodded. "Why else would I hate them so much?"

He had a torn look. "Blue…" Hugging her into his chest he stroked her hair. "I know you loathe being caged up like this, but it's for everyone's own good… even yours."

She didn't seem convinced but stayed silent and kept her head there, just listening to his heart beat.

"Please Blue. You must understand that I only want what's best for you."

"And yet you tell the government you only want what's best for them." She answered bitterly, pushing away.

"I can't keep living like this!" She cried. "Can't you understand that? You of all people?"

He sighed, not enjoying this one bit. He knew he was caught between hell and hot water. Betray the state or betray the weapon.

He rubbed his temples. She was more than just a weapon, though he was probably the only one that realised this. Her mother had even taken the view that she was nothing more than a design brought to life by her.

"Blue?"

Her eyes flicked open to see only blackness at first.

"Raven?"

"You fainted, are you alright?"

She creased her brow. She thought he sounded concerned.

"Y-yeah, I just feel a little cold, that's all."

"You're burning up."

"Huh? No way, you're wrong."

He shook his head. "I'm never wrong."

Both of them knew it was a lie, but nobody pointed it out. There was no need to.

"And we're done for today." A man in white announced. The other scientists unplugged Blue, allowing her to step out of the chamber. These tests had been running since birth, and there was rarely any significant change.

"It's like they expect me to spontaneously mutate." She muttered to him as they walked on. He laughed with her.

"I'd love to be able to criticise them with you, but I figure that stuff is best left to them."

"You're just the gun barrel?" She had a teasing tone to her voice that made him a little touchy.

"Watch it you, I could take you out with the flick of my wrist."

"Hah! I'd like to see you try!"

Raven looked from the girl to his organoid; even BFSE seemed in bad condition. "There must be something here messing with them." He realised. "We can't stay here…they could die…"

He picked Blue up and put her back in her spot inside the cockpit and went back to Shadow. The organoid growled weakly and opened his purple eyes at the touch. "C'mon buddy…can you move?"

The black organoid tried to push himself up but collapsed quickly. Raven cursed, not wanting to leave his partner to get help.

"There has to be something I can do…" He thought aloud, screwing his eyes shut in concentration. "There's no way I can just sit here and let him die!"

Shadow growled again. There's nothing you can do here…

Raven stood up, the guilt and sorrow made him shaky and weak. He clumsily made him way back to the BFSE. An idea hit him before he left. Dragging Shadow of the shallow cave with the claws, he held him gently yet firmly in the BFSE's grip and flew away with him.

A bead of sweat ran down Blue's head.

"This isn't good." Raven muttered.
