AN- Hello, Ibeyla here!! Guys, I am so proud of this fic right now. I've almost hit the half-way mark of my goal of 100 reviews with this fic, and I've had 400+ hits!! Wow… I think that's pretty good considering I've been here for less than 2 months now!!XD Lol. So, does Leiden scare the pants off of anyone reading? Come on, be honest, he's absolutely terrifying isn't he?! He scares me witless, and I made him!!XD Lol. Anyway, my new Zoids drabble/one-shot collection, Of Zoids and Organoids, is a hit in Zoids standards!! Lol. I love working on that fic, it's what I do when I'm not working on The Dark Savior. I'm not bipolar or anything like that, but can't you feel like two completely different writing styles for those two fics? I mean one is cute and carefree, and the other is dark and serious. Wow… Lol. Anyway, things have basically gone from worse to unimaginably bad for poor Raven. And with Shadow and Copper totaled and Okamau's life uncertain, who's gonna save him? Well, you'll just have to find out, now won't you?XD I'm really sorry, but this will be the shortest chapter I've eer written for this fic. I have 2 new fics I've started, and I've been uber busy lately. Again, I'm really sorry for the shortness, but I'll make it up to you next chapter and in the first chapter of my new fic. Well, I won't hold you any longer. Without further a delay, chapter 11- Orkari's discovery!

.:Chapter 11- Orkari's Discovery:.

Leiden landed silently on the ledge of Ambient's cave, shaking the cold rain from his raven-like wings. The rain had started up again as he flew back, but he scarcely cared. He folded his shadowy wings and blinked his red-orange eyes, shaking to rid his metal body of the clinging rain.

With a quiet growl, he dropped Raven to the hard ground, not really caring if it caused the human pain. Leiden snorted and glared at the human, contorting his face in a snarl, exposing his fangs. He retracted his claws, wanting to keep them as sharp as possible for… future use. With his claws safely retracted, he pawed the human's side, trying to get a reaction from him. When he got no response, he leaned down and sniffed his wounded side, as if smelling for death.

An almost silent groan from the young pilot told the metal cat he was still alive, but just barely. Sneering, he walked inside the dark cave, leaving Raven out in the cold rain. He didn't care in the slightest, and continued inside with a flick of his spined tail.

Leiden walked past Orkari's chamber and turned to look in Ambient's. Ambient was already asleep, curled up on his bed of leaves. Seeing him asleep reminded Leiden of how tired he was, and he yawned widely, showing all his long, sharp teeth. He glanced out at Raven to make sure he was still there before he walked back into Orkari's chamber. He also was curled up on his own bed, but he was moving around slightly, as one might in a light sleep. One eye opened up slightly, a yellow-orange slit in the darkness, before closing again with a sigh.

'He's restless; from hunger no doubt... well he won't be hungry for much longer…' Leiden thought, smirking evilly. He turned and walked further down into the cave, turning into a large chamber. This was the chamber that Ambient had given him, and it, like the others, had a bed of leaves laid out for him to rest on. Although he could sleep on the hard ground with no ill effects, the comfort of a soft bed was preferred, if not needed.

Leiden yawned and curled up on the bed of leaves, wrapping his long tail around himself and stretching out his front paws. He looked, for all the world, like an overgrown housecat. Well... if house cats were made of metal and covered in spines. With a soft, almost purr-like sigh, he drifted off to sleep.

Orkari heard Leiden's familiar footsteps as he walked into the cave, going towards his adoptive father's chamber. Orkari was afraid of the large metal cat, because of his size and shear ferocity. He heard the Organoid stop outside of his chamber, so Orkari opened his eye slightly before he closed and tried to ignore him and get back to sleep.

He opened his eyes as soon as the frightening Organoid left and got to his feet, stretching his long body like a cat. Snorting loudly, he shook himself and wandered outside of his chamber, looking for anything to get into. He looked down towards Ambient's chamber for a moment before he started down towards it.

Being very quiet, he looked in at Ambient, who was sprawled out on his bed and snoring loudly. Orkari couldn't help but laugh at the crimson Organoid as he walked further down into the cave. He peaked in at Leiden, who also was asleep. Orkari chuckled slightly at the great metal cat's position, for he looked completely harmless. Leiden didn't look as vicious, in fact he seemed almost cute, like a kitten, in his sleep.

'He looks like an overgrown housecat...' Orkari thought with a snicker as he walked back towards his own chamber. Suddenly, he thought he saw something move on the outside ledge through the silvery curtain of water. Curious as to what it might be, he chirped and walked towards the covering of water. Personally, he hated getting wet even worse than a cat, but his curiosity as to what was outside was just to powerful to ignore.

Jumping through the cold water as fast as he could, he shook the water from his spinney body with a snort of disgust. Orkari looked around the narrow ledge, and couldn't believe what he saw- a human. He squeaked and jumped, memories of from his mother's death flooding back. Trembling, he slowly approached the unmoving human, watching for even the slightest movement. He saw the deep wounds on his side, and he could tell they were from Ambient's claws.

'Ambient said he would go hunting for me... is this what he meant?' Orkari questioned mentally at the thought of Ambient. He cocked his head at the silent and motionless young human, curious as to why he was here and why Ambient had wounded him.

His stomach hurt from hunger, and he whined loudly. To his surprise, the wounded human opened his eyes slightly, and looked at him strangely. Orkari screeched and backed away from the human as he shakily got to his feet. Now completely terrified, Orkari squeaked and ran back inside to his chamber, curling up and mewing loudly.

Now he just hoped Ambient or Leiden heard his cries, and that they would come and chase away or kill the human before he hurt him. He heard the human walk inside and stop by his chamber, and that just scared him more. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him continue further into the cave, towards where Ambient and Leiden were sleeping. A loud roar told him that one of them had been awakened, and he hoped that maybe one of them had caught him…

His hopes were unknowingly to him realized…

AN (possible new fic! Please read!!)- (winces) I'm so sorry its so short!! I've been uber busy with vacation planning and other fics, and I neglected this chapter horribly. I'm really sorry, but I'll make it up to you in the next chapter and with my new fic. I still need a name for it. It will be AU and be about Shadow's taming. I had a dream about it after I watched my Zoids DVD, but in my dream things went wrong. Very wrong. I don't know if anyone else has seen that scene in the episode, "The Distant Stars", but I always thought Shadow was holding back. He coulda easily taken Raven, but didn't. Well, in my dream, things went quickly in Shadow's favor, as you will see when I get chapter 1 typed and posted. But that will only happen if I can settle on a title. I was thinking maybe Broken, like my drabble, but I'm not sure. Please help me decide on a title! Please send in a title idea!! I need help if I'm gonna get it posted!! Well, I believe I've ranted enough for one chappie. Again, I feel awful about how short this, but I'll make it up to you. I'm sorry if I disappointed anybody, that seems to be the only thing I can do right… T.T
