AUTHORS NOTE: The last chapter was kinda boring in my opinion, but Im glad
u guys liked it. Anyways, heres chapter 7
CHAPTER 7
The glass shattered as the stool stuck it, and cool air began to blow in. Rain set the stool down, climbed on top of it, and lifted herself through the window.
"Oww!" She said, pulling her hand back, she had cut it on a sharp edge of glass.
"You ok Rain?" Izumi called from her cell.
Rain looked back through the window, "Yeah, its just cut. You guy's hang tight, ok?"
"Sure. Just don't fall..." Brad answered.
Rain nodded and carefully walked along the overhang, her back pressed tightly against the outside of the Whaleking. She glanced down at the ground that seemed so far below her, and thought, 'It looks alot different when your not in a zoid'
She hesitated a few moments, then continued on. As her long silver hair whipped quickly in the wind, she carefully reached for the ladder. Pulling herself up, she climbed for what seemed like forever, only stopping to grab on tight when a strong gust blew by. She held tightly to the bars as she climbed, and eventually reached the top.
Scrambling up, she found that their where allot of footholds in the Whalekings armor. She stood awkwardly, and began to make her way to the front of the gigantic zoid. She slipped once, then pulled herself back up, standing slowly again, and swallowing her fear.
"I bet you wish you had your wings." Came a cold, cruel voice from behind her.
Rain turned, and stared, startled by what she saw. Before her stood a dark figure of a young man. She couldn't make out any features... except one. Around his neck was a glowing red object, attached at the end of a silver chain. She suddenly remembered her dream from before, and slowly began to back up.
The wind began to pick up slightly as the man stated, "What's the matter?"
****************
"Ha!" Zack said as the ropes fell off of him. He stood up, and looked around. The only way out of the room was the door... and that dammed organoid was blocking it. He looked around a bit more, and spied an air vent.
'Guess I got no other choice' Zack thought as he pried the cover off the wall. He climbed in, and crawled on. It soon became pitch black inside, making it impossible to tell where he was.
Suddenly the floor gave out beneath him, and he fell. He hit the floor, got up quickly, wincing at a sharp pain in his ankle, and looked around. He was in the hanger.... along with everyone else.
Bit and the others stared, surprised that their captive had just come from the very high ceiling, and got up, seemingly unhurt.
"Uh... yeah..." Zack stated, his ankle hurt badly, "Hi."
Zack rushed at Bit, hitting him right in the gut, "That's for hitting me earlier..." He turned and swung a punch, about to hit anybody that might be behind him. He suddenly stopped, he couldn't hit who was behind him... because it wasn't right to hit a girl... and a fairly pretty one at that.
Lavender closed her eyes as she saw the punch coming her way. After a few moments she opened them again, to a fist only inches away from the side of her head. She gave out a sigh of relief, just as Zack turned to run away. He didn't get very far because of his ankle.
Cloud grabbed Zack by the back of his shirt, receiving an elbow in the gut. He winced, but kept a tight hold on his captive. Bit ran up and swung a punch, finding its mark on Zacks nose.
Zack pulled away from Cloud with the help of another elbow to the gut, and then tackled Bit. The two began to fist-fight, neither looking like they would give up any time soon.
"They look like a couple of ten year old boys." Leena stated, the two "ten year old boys" as she called them, where now rolling on the floor, trying to pin each other down.
Nobody bothered to cut in for a while, until it started to get boring. It was easy enough to say that Bit was loosing... quite badly.... but he still wouldn't give up. Finally Cloud, Leon and Doctor Tauros pulled Zero off of the young Ligar pilot, and Naomi, Jemie, and Leena held onto Bit, so he wouldn't start another fight.
Zack was dragged to another room, this one without an air vent, and was locked inside. He sat on the bed, and rubbed his sore ankle.
Everyone else went back to what they were doing before Zack fell from the ceiling, which for all of them, was repairing their Zoids.
**************
"You know...." Copper stated, taking a few steps toward the terrified Rain, "... Silver is very easy to see in the dark."
Rain continued to step backwards, the wind blowing her long silver hair violently. The whaleking was descending, and was about to land.
"Now I finally get to finish you off..." He taunted, "You know, you where safer all locked up in your cell."
Rain stumbled and fell, as the whaleking landed. The man seemed to be unaffected by both the wind, and the slight swaying motion of the landing.
Copper grinned cruelly to himself. He reached into his jacket pocket, and pulled out a handgun, pointing it strait at Rain, "time to die, time to die..." he taunted, as he pulled the trigger.
*************
"So your Brad, right?" Izumi asked, "We never really got into introductions and all."
"Yeah. I never got your name." Brad answered, he was sitting on the bed with his back against the wall.
"Izumi."
They stayed quiet for a while, until they felt the Whaleking land. Izumi sighed, "Do you think she made it?"
Brad shrugged, "Who knows..."
Izumi laid her head down on her pillow and sighed, "Damn it. I wish I knew."
***************
"I want you all to be ready to unload these zoids as soon as the hatch opens." Orihime called, glancing at the three new zoids. She first looked at the Shadowfox, then the ShadowDancer.
"Yes Ma'am" Various soldiers called, getting ready to unload.
Finally she looked at the dragon zoid, Ryuu. She paused for a minuet, and shook her head, "Man that zoid looks familiar from somewhere... not only the fact that it looks like the Bahamut... but I swear I've seen it somewhere else..." She held her breath, suddenly remembered where she had seen the zoid before. "No way..."
She turned, and headed into her office. She sat down on her desk, and removed a laptop from the drawer. She began to bring up various files...
*****************
Zack sighed and sat up in his bed. He walked over to the window and looked out, trying to think of a way to escape...
He couldn't think of one. 'man' he thought, 'im really stuck this time'
Sighing again, he walked back to his bad and sat down. Just then Leena walked in with a plate of food, and set it on the table, "Here. Your lucky that Leon and the others told me to bring this to you... I wasn't going to"
"Whatever." he answered. Leena left, and Zack got up and headed over to the table. He looked at the food a good while, then went at it. It was delicious. He ate it all, then laid back down on the bed. "I got to get out of here..." he said to himself.
*****************
Cloud was sitting on the paw of his Blade Ligar. He had finished the repairs, which really didn't take as long as he thought, and now that he didn't have anything to do he was in a pit of worry about his little sister. He had a very bad feeling that something was wrong. Very wrong.
Tyra, Lavender, and Leon came up. They had also finished on repairs, and noticed Clouds expression.
"What's wrong?" Tyra asked, even though she already knew the answer. She knew that Cloud was worried about Rain.
"Im just thinking." Cloud answered, "About the day that Rain lost her memories."
"Really?" Lavender said, pulling herself onto the paw, "what happened?"
Tyra climbed onto the paw as well, followed by Leon. The three sat there waiting for an answered.
Cloud sat for a while, then shook his head, "I can't tell you."
"Ah, come on..." Lavender said.
"Lets just say..." Cloud said. He sighed, and closed his eyes, "that I have a very bad feeling about all of this."
"That doesn't tell us anything about her past." Leon stated. He had heard the story about Rain not having any memories from Tyra, and now he was seemingly interested.
Cloud shook his head, and sighed, "No. It doesn't."
Tyra, Lavender and Leon all shrugged, and jumped off of the Ligars paw. Leon went off to find Jemie, while Lavender and Tyra went to find Leena and Naomi.
****************
Izumi jumped out of her bed, and began to pace around her cell, "What the hell! This suspense is killing me!"
"Just calm down." Brad said, he too was starting ot get anxious. He sat up in bed and looked down the hallway, for no real reason.
"Rain had better pull through!" Izumi said.
Brad nodded, "What's the story with you guy's anyway... why'd you help us and all... you know, at the battle."
"Oh, yeah, that. The GunGyarados and the Dragon attacked us before too. When we got a signal from Rain asking us to help, we came as fast as we could."
"I see."
***************
Orihime stared at the screen in front of her. At the top it read MCME. She read the file, both amazed and horrified at what she saw. In the center of the page she saw a picture of Ryuu, and Bahamut, standing side by side.
She continued reading, now completely immersed in the file, reaching the end of a paragraph which stated, "On the subject two years ago..... eventually leading to complete loss of memories...." She held her breath for a few seconds, as she continued with the next paragraph.
She couldn't believe at what she read.
End of Chapter 7
Authors note: Hehe whatcha think? I thought this chapter was kinda fun to write, even though it didn't have a battle scene. Hope you liked it... don't forget to review!
