Emperor Olivaw (EO): Why do I have a bad feeling all the sudden?

Daneel (me. the author): 'cause you're observant?

EO: Um… why are there two of me?

Daneel: just shut up and play your goddamn part!

EO: But wait… I thought that I was labeled a god? I didn't damn anything… lately.

Daneel: you're hopeless.



In the brightly lit throne room Emperor Olivaw looked to his chief scientist "You're sure this will take me to another dimension?"

"Ablosutely!" he said cheerily, you are the only one who can pass through it though so we can keep it open indefinitely," 'so long as power is kept running to it' he thought.

"All right… I will be back shortly. If I am not, seal the portal for a thousand years, I will return then," and with that he leapt through the portal.

Right after he left, there was an explosion outside and the palace went dark "NO!" snapping open his comm.. beacon he yelled "Get the emergency generator on now!" As he said this the room lit up again and the portal too opened. He dashed over to the display and saw that the coordinates of the last opening were gone, erased with a new set of numbers in their place. "EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled, 'those merc.s did a great job! They really made it look like an accident. Now to tell the chiefs of staff about the tragic news' then he began to quietly laugh…

Suddenly the emperor found himself bathed in darkness. He looked about, totally unable to see. So he created a ball of energy to cast light about him. With his sight finally returned him, he saw that he was in a desert, in the distance he heard a voice, and something that sounded like a mix between a tiger's roar and a bird's shrill cry. The sound chilled even his cold blood.

He turned about to see the portal, but found none. He was without a way home, "I have been in a similar situation before," he said to no one in particular. Knowing what to do he set off in the direction of the voices.

He was stopped when a powerful force knocked him into the ground. The air above him shimmered as a huge metallic beast came into existence right on top of him. It bared its neatly lined up teeth and roar/shrieked in that horrible sound again.

"Enough, Griffin," said deep-voiced man from the darkness. The beast cast a glow around the area from its eyes, and the emperor saw the man. He was about 5'4" obviously quite weak, but Olivaw was in no condition to state it when this man was the only thing keeping his head on his shoulders. "Please excuse my zoid, he is a bit over-protective of me,"

"Zoid? Where am I? Who are you? What in the name of the eternal blasphemer is this thing?" The emperor had never been so confused, what's worse he did not know the extent of his powers that had come with him.

"Are you sure that you're all right? You seem to have some memory loss," the man seemed to be concerned for the emperor's health, but he was still pinned under the beast's claw.

"Just a minute, I'm trying to remember something," he had no intention of remembering so he probed the man's mind. He was shocked to see the wealth of information there. Futhermore he was shocked to find his name, Olivaw. "Now I remember, I'm a uh… a scavenger! Yeah and uh well I ran out of supplies so when I heard you guys…"

"A scavenger? You'll get no help from us vermin," He seriously seemed ready to let the Griffin take the unsuspecting emperor's head off. When…

"Olivaw, wait! You can't kill me! Just give me ten minutes and I can explain!" so receiving the go ahead from Olivaw he proceeded to explain his story. By the end of it Olivaw was so dumbfounded that he seemed ready to believe it. "Well? Do you believe me?"

"No, but I don't know anyone who can make up a story like that off the top of their head," so he half believed him.

"So, where are you heading anyway?" the curious emperor asked.

"Wherever the battles are man, wherever the battles are… I think you'd be a good pilot, and I just happen to know where to find a good zoid," His other self finally seemed to get it that if they helped each other they would both be benefited.

"Sounds fun, I'm looking forward to it, by the way m' name's Olivaw," the other Olivaw laughed. "What's so funny?" the grand master of the universe just could not figure himself out.

"Nothing, I just guessed that was your name. Anyway, since you read my mind you know that I am up against the Blitz team tomorrow, you also know that while Griffin us a supremely amazing Zoid it cannot take out the three of them together. Therefore I need you're aid," Olivaw knew where his other self was going with this.

"But I know nothing of Zoids! I may be an omnipotent being of unparalleled power, but I don't know squat about this dimension!" he was yelling loud enough to for people in the next town to hear.

"Calm down, the Zoid I'm thinking of doesn't trust people who know a lot about it, you two would get along fine-"

"What do you mean 'doesn't trust people'? You make it sound as though it were a thinking being, the way you know them they are all machines!" he was confused, offended and irritated; all at once.

The Griffin roar/cried and took a menacing step toward the emperor. "Ah well you see… Most Zoids are just machines, but some are special," the emperor had his attention equally divided between the deadly zoid and the interesting definition from his other. "These Zoids are sentient and almost self-sustaining, but they still need pilots. Certain sentient Zoids select their pilots, I think you are the one who should be this ones pilot," he said more to himself –still about the emperor- than to anyone in particular.

Olivaw suddenly realized something. "You seem to know a lot about this Zoid, does it hold some special meaning to you?"

"Indeed it does, my parents were killed when a pilot found this Zoid. He commited countless atrocities, including destroying my village. When the Zoid saw him for who he was, it abandoned him. Now it waits for a person who will use it well,"

"hn," Olivaw was beginning to see why his other self was so desperate to get a pilot into that thing. "So where is it and how do we get it?"

A grinning Zoid warrior faced the demi-god "I was hoping you'd say that!" with that he explained how he would get this Zoid into the right hands…

Daneel: Well? What do you think? Please review!

EO: *hangs head and grumbles*

Daneel: What?

EO: I just have to know why my science chief is a treacherous actor.

Daneel: It's a story, OK? It doesn't have to make sense.

Olivaw: nut cases, both of them

EO: I heard that!

Daneel: heard what?

Olivaw: Uh… nothing, say we better get to that Zoid before morning! *runs off. Chased by EO*

Daneel: Hey! Wait come back! You're my only characters so far! *chases after*
