**************************************************************************** ********************
Risai was still hanging onto the edge of the now vertical platform, held up by three of its four chains. She attempted to lift her other arm up in hopes of having a better grip, but the pain shooting through her body made her decline. She could barely stand the pain from the muscles pulling in her arm that she was hanging from.
"This can't get much worse," she said to herself. Another explosion rocked the building, causing another chain to break. The platform jerked and then swayed slightly. Only two chains were left.
"Just great," she said.
"Risai!" yelled Miharu. Risai looked down towards the entrance and saw all of them standing there, staring up at her.
"Help me!" yelled Risai.
"We'll try!" shouted Miharu. All of them tried to think of something. The platform was high above them and there weren't any ladders to climb up. The other platforms were all pretty far away as well. Risai's Genosaurer was the closest thing right now, but there wasn't any way of using it to help her. They all looked around the garage. Bit was the first to see a lift in the far right corner.
"There!" he exclaimed, pointing to what he saw.
"A lift!" exclaimed Leena.
"Do you think we could use that?" asked Bit to Miharu.
"Right now, I'm willing to try anything. Come on!" They all followed Miharu over to the lift. (A/N you know, it's like a forklift, only the lift part goes really high. I hope that made sense.)
"It looks like it'll work," said Rick.
"Now the problem is getting it close enough to reach her," said Mattei.
"We're going to need one person to drive it and another will have to stand on this part. They'll be raised in the air. It's a risky shot, since I doubt we can get it close enough, but it's worth a try," said Miharu. "I'll drive. Jamie, I want you to help me operate the arm."
"Okay," said Jamie.
"Now we need somebody to go up there."
"I'll go," said Leon. They all looked to him. He seemed pretty determined.
"Alright," said Miharu. "Let's go." The three of them got ready to put their plan into action. The others all stood off to the side and watched. Miharu drove the lift carefully over towards the broken platform. She stopped the lift when she was in reach. "This is a close as I can get," she said. "Alright Leon, it's your turn." Leon got onto the lift, which wasn't very safe at all, considering there wasn't much room on it.
"Okay, I'm ready," he said. 'I can't believe I'm doing this,' he thought to himself. 'What if I fall?' The lift was rising, slowly, but it was rising. It soon couldn't rise anymore.
"That's all the further it'll go," said Jamie. It wasn't quite close enough. Miharu stuck her head out the window and looked up.
"Darn it. We have to get in closer," she said. "Leon! I'm gonna get in closer. Don't fall off!"
"Easier said than done," said Leon to himself. The machine started moving, coming closer to the platform and Risai. She was having trouble holding on. She looked around at them and the lift. It was high enough and now it was coming closer. Leon was standing up, doing his best to keep his balance.
"What are you doing?" asked Risai, worry and fear evident in her voice.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" said Leon. The machine then jerked a little, causing Leon to nearly fall off, but he was able to regain his composure.
"Just forget it! It'd be pointless if both of us fell."
"I'm not leaving you here like this. If you fall, there's a good chance you'll die."
"I know that, but I..."
"You what?"
"Never mind."
"When you start something you should finish it."
"..."
"Come on."
"...I just don't wanna see you get hurt too, okay?" she said angrily, her face turning slightly red from both anger and embarrassment.
"Neither of us will fall. Now come on." He got down on his knees and extended his hand to her. "Grab on."
"I can't."
"You have to." Risai attempted to reach out and grab his hand but her other arm began to hurt, threatening to loose the grip she held on the platform. She grabbed her shoulder, hoping that the pain would go away if she pressed down on it.
"I can't do it. It hurts too much," said Risai, her eyes tightly shut, half from fear and half from pain. Another explosion was heard. The building shook. The platform began to sway and another chain broke, dropping the platform even further down than before. There was still a chance.
"You have to grab my hand now!" shouted Leon.
"I can't...I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, just grab my hand." The chain holding the platform up was starting to break, the links began to pull apart.
"I'll...try," said Risai. She reached out again, ignoring the pain that was coursing through her body. She was almost there. But just then, the chain snapped, sending the platform towards the ground, along with Risai. Leon quickly took hold of the lift and threw himself off of it, still holding on with one hand. With the other, he caught Risai by the wrist. The platform was sent downward, smashing into the hard, metal floor, causing a loud crashing sound of metal against metal. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, happy that both of them were all right. The lift was then lowered, bringing both of them safely to the ground. Miharu and Jamie got out of the machine and everyone else ran over as well.
"Don't you guys ever let me fall asleep in here again," said Risai. She stood up and then held her arm, which was still hurting.
"Okay, now we have to go and fight this battle," said Miharu.
"Right. Let's go," said Risai. They all looked to her.
"You can't be serious," said Jamie.
"I am. I'm going with," she said.
"You can't," said Miharu, her voice stern. "You need to stay here. We'll handle this."
"No you won't! Now you listen here. On the battlefield, I am a commander. I have a sworn duty to lead my troops into battle. During battle, you are not my superior; you are my equal. You have no control over my actions during a battle. I am a commander; I make my own decisions," said Risai, her expression the same as Miharu's. It was silent now.
"As you wish," said Miharu. Risai nodded and ran off to get into her Genosaurer.
"You're really going to let her go like that?" asked Brad.
"Yes. She's right. During a battle, I have no control over her. She is a commander, as am I. She's free to do what she wants in battle."
"But..." started Bit.
"Just forget it. Come on. We have a battle to fight." They all ran off and got into their own zoids, joining the forces that were already battling it out. When they got outside they were all shocked at what they found. A lot of the ZBC zoids were down, more than that of the Backdraft. The soldiers were helping eachother out of the cockpits and to the medical vicinity.
"This is terrible," said Leena.
"I know," said Bit.
"We've never been beaten this badly. I wonder what's going on," said Miharu. "The Backdraft's forces aren't usually so powerful."
"We need to find the source of this. It looks like the battle has been moved further into the desert and away from the base," observed Jamie.
"Alright, we'll spread out and see if we find someone who looks like a general. If we take out the leader, then the other forces will retreat."
"You sure about that?" asked Bit.
"Of course I am," said Miharu. "Now let's split up. I'm going this way." They all ran off in their own directions, looking for a commanding zoid. It wasn't easy. Everywhere they went, there were more downed ZBC zoids and pilots. Some were fortunate to make it out alive and others...weren't. Risai was scouting the area, but her mind was somewhere else.
"I wonder if that zoid is out here, that dragon zoid," she said to herself. "I hope it's not." As fate would have it, her hopes were wrong. Appearing in front of her was the silver and purple dragon zoid. It stood tall on its back legs. It roared as it laid its eyes on the Genosaurer.
"It looks like I've finally found you," said the female pilot.
"What do you want from me!" demanded Risai.
"Nothing much. I came to destroy you, no one else," responded the pilot.
'No one else?' thought Risai. 'Then why does she kill Leon?...Oh yeah...he was protecting me...so if I die before he shows up, then he won't die...but I promised him...oh, this is so confusing!' Risai decided to stop thinking and just attack.
"You want me, then come and get me!" she yelled.
"As you wish." The dragon lunged at the charging Genosaurer. It then stopped and swung its long tail at the zoid, knocking it away. It then unloaded a few rounds of ammo. The Genosaurer put up its shield. (A/N do NOT tell me that they don't have any. If you remember from Premonition, her Genosaurer was equipped with a shield, even though the ones in the show don't have them.) Once the firing stopped, they charged again. The dragon opened its wings and took off at the last minute. Risai pulled her controls, bringing the Genosaurer to a halt.
"Where is she?" asked Risai to herself, forgetting the com-link was still on.
"Right here," said the dragon zoid pilot. It came down hard on the Genosaurer, and then knocked it away, into a rock formation, with its tail. Risai was jostled around in the cockpit and eventually hit her head against the side of the cockpit, knocking her out. Her whole world went black, but she knew exactly what would come next.
******
Everything was once again black. Risai was floating in her dream world atmosphere.
"This can't be good," she said to herself.
"You've got that right," came Taban's voice, causing her to spin around. She looked for him, but found nothing.
"Taban?"
"Of course."
"But...if you're talking to me, then...oh no...I must have been knocked out. This is not good."
"You're telling me."
"I gotta wake up now! Leon is going to get killed!"
"How do you know this?"
"I just do."
"Well, there's something I have to tell you. The girl in the dragon like zoid, the leader of the Backdraft group, she's someone you know quite well, one of us. Risai, it's Rose. She's alive."
"But that's impossible. She was claimed to have been dead. She disappeared."
"So did Toran, and you know what happened with him."
"What does she want with me? Why did she join the Backdraft?"
"She only mentioned wanting to get revenge on you. She said something about taking away someone she cared about, and now she's going to get even. She was watching you on the day you got injured."
"So that's why...that's why she kills Leon."
"What?" asked Taban. Risai was speaking quietly.
"Nothing," she responded.
"Well, you should get going. You've got a life to save."
"Right."
"Oh, and Risai?"
"Yeah?"
"You knew Leon was in danger...because you had a dream, didn't you?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's happening to you, isn't it?"
"N-no. It can't; you know that. It's against regulations."
"Risai. I have a word of advice for you. You know me; I always gotta say something like this. Never forget your feelings. Emotions make us strong during a battle. They make us reckless, but they give us the strength we need to win. Somewhere along the line, you forgot that, but I think you'll be fine now."
"What do you mean by 'you'll be fine now'?"
"It seems like you've found something to fight for, or should I say someone?"
"What?"
"Bye!"
"Wait! Taban!" There was no answer this time. "Darn him. Well, I gotta get back, but how? There has to be a way!"
Suddenly, the black atmosphere went white and a bright light blinded her.
"Wake up!" came Taban's voice.
******
Risai sat up in her cockpit, wide-awake, and in pain. She saw the red Blade Liger being thrown aside. She turned off the link with Rose.
"Alright, I'm back, and just in time too," she said.
"Is that you?" asked Leon.
"In person," responded Risai.
"I'm glad you're alright."
"Thanks for helping me. Now it's my turn. You stay there for now." The dragon aimed its guns at the Genosaurer, but Risai beat her to the punch and shot off her own guns, hitting the dragon zoid. Rose was furious. Risai opened up the com-link with her again, just to hear how agitated she was.
"Darn you! Why don't you just die?!"
"Cause I have too much left to do. Now it's my turn, Rose!"
"How'd you know?!"
"Like I'm telling you. I'm finishing this once and for all!" She began readying the charged particle cannon.
"Do you really think I'll let you finish charging that?"
"No," smirked Risai.
"Confident, aren't we?" The dragon was about to move when it was attacked from the side by the Blade Liger. Leon was holding her still.
"Darn you! I'll kill you both!"
"I don't think so," said Leon. The cannon stopped charging.
"Move Leon!"
"Alright." The beam fired and the Blade Liger jumped away. The beam collided with the dragon zoid.
"Yes!" cheered Risai, but there wasn't much to cheer about. The beam faded, but the dragon was still there, energy shield and all.
"Darn. I forgot. All of our zoids were equipped with one of those."
"That's right," said Rose, a smirk on her face. She scanned the area for any of her units, finding almost nothing. "Darn it! How could my troops have been taken out like that? We were winning!"
"I guess a few zoids really can make all the difference, huh?" said Risai, her cocky tone returning.
"I guess I'll have to take my leave. It's been fun, but you won't get off so easy next time. All remaining units, fall back!" she commanded over a separate com-link.
"Yes ma'am," came the response from her remaining men. They all ran away from the battlefield, heading back to their base. Risai fell back against her chair.
"I'm glad that's over," she said to herself. "Now I think I'll take a nap." She closed her eyes and fell asleep inside her zoid. The others all came over, relieved that the forces had withdrawn from the battle.
"Well that was fun," said Bit sarcastically."
"Yeah," said Rick, the same tone in his voice.
"You two okay?" asked Leena to Leon and Risai, who wasn't listening.
"I'm fine," responded Leon.
"What about Risai?"
"She's fine. I think she's sleeping."
"Just let her rest. She's not in any real danger right now," said Miharu.
"We can't just leave her here in the middle of the desert," said Jamie.
"Oh yes we can."
"What if there's another attack?" asked Naomi.
"I doubt it. We just finished a battle."
"But still, we should take her back to the base," said Leena.
"Yeah, I guess we should." They had a Gustav come out and tow the Genosaurer back to the base. They didn't even bother taking Risai out. She was safe in the base. She was actually having a peaceful sleep for once, not a nightmare in sight.
'Maybe it was.just a dream,' she thought to herself as she fell deeper into her sleep.

"Just let her rest. She's not in any real danger right now," said Miharu.
"We can't just leave her here in the middle of the desert," said Jamie.
"Oh yes we can."
"What if there's another attack?" asked Naomi.
"I doubt it. We just finished a battle."
"But still, we should take her back to the base," said Leena.
"Yeah, I guess we should." They had a Gustav come out and tow the Genosaurer back to the base. They didn't even bother taking Risai out. She was safe in the base. She was actually having a peaceful sleep for once, not a nightmare in sight.
'Maybe it was.just a dream,' she thought to herself as she fell deeper into her sleep.
