Ramia Terra aka Ray skated throughout the city, and then on the boarders of the town. Ray marveled at the different transporters people, as she was were they park it.
"What's this one?" She asked herself slowing down to examine the blue hover cargo owned by if you haven't already guessed the Blitz team.
Going toward the door, as she skated around it, WHAM!!! The door swung open just as she was skating by hitting square in the face, between the eyes and just above the noise.
She staggered back on her skates trying to keep her balance and nurse her face where the door struck it.
"Hey are you alright?! I'm really sorry I didn't see you there!" Asked a vaguely familiar voice Ray recognized, but just couldn't guess until she glanced up at them.
"Jamie?"
The black hair boy looked up at her.
"Who are you....?"
Ray nearly flipped out. "Rayyyyy, come on Jamie don't you remember me?"
Jamie studied the girls face for a second then his face brighten.
"Oh yeah your Ramia. We met at that zoids convention, when you hit me because you didn't watch out where you were skating." Jamie nodded his head a few times, somewhat happy he actually remembered her.
"Then we can just call it even." She took her hands off her face wondering to herself if it was going to leave a mark.
Jamie pondered for a second then grabbed her hand dragging her in.
"Come in, I can introduce you to the others." Ray still on her skates glided after him.
They entered the cargo room thing where Leon, and Naomi were just bringing in there zoids. It took a moment after they got out to notice Ray.
"Hey Jamie who's your friend?" Leon asked coming up to meet her.
"This is Ray. Remember that time I took off to the zoids convention, and came back with that black eye because somebody wasn't watching where they were going...." He dragged the last part on so she would notice it.
"Well anyway that was Ray." He directed his hands toward Ray, she knew this was her que to speak.
"Uh...yeah. I'm Ramia Terra."
Doc shook her hand.
"Well hi Ramia, I hope Jamie didn't do that mark on your face to get revenge or anything." He said letting her hand go.
Ray glanced at Jamie then shook her head. "Nope, it was by mistake, I uh wasn't watching where I was going, again...." Ray sweat dropped.
There was a moment of silence until Jamie spoke up.
"Come on Ray, how about you stay for dinner, I'm cooking."
Ray cheerfully nodded her head, "Sure."
*************
"Hey Mayu it was nice seeing you again. I have to go pick up my zoid from Kat before she demolishes it." Leena said goodbye to her old friend waving.
"Yeah, oh and Leena one last thing do you know where I might find Leon or Bit?" Mayu blushed slightly.
Leena grinned.
"I don't know about Bit but I know my brother is staying with the Blitz team over at their battle coordinates. Maybe you could see him before the battle."
Mayu stuck out her tongue, then set off in the opposite direction. Leena watched as Mayu disappeared into the distance, then returned to her calling team mates.
"Hey Lee, we found you a great zoid, just a far distance off. Hop into my zoid, and I'll take you there in no time." Jill opened the cockpit so Leena could get into the second seat.
************
Ky darted down the halls that lead up to his powerful zoid Bounty Liger Type F.ull A.rsenal S.peedmonster or Bounty Liger FAS for short. Loading on a few things, he hopped into the cockpit, and took off out of the ZoidStrike transporter onto the desert.
He over looked the terrain, and began heading North toward Atlantic City. Arriving there within five minutes, he brought the Bounty Liger into a repair shop for a tune-up and began roaming the town.
"Just like it for a tune- up sir." Asked the repair man.
"Yeah, the heavy armor slowed it a bit in my last battle. Just fix that." Ky noted, then turned around to head out although the man didn't stop talking.
"Yes sir, I got another zoid like this to repair not to long ago. I think it was a called the Liger z- yes the Liger zero that's it. The pilot has yet to come pick it up."
Ky turned to face him, the liger zero, and its pilot Bit Cloud.
"Are you calling me late?" A blondish boy appeared from behind not glancing at Ky just yet.
"Bit...Bit Cloud. I thought you'd still be on the Blitz team."
Bit turned around to see Ky.
"Kyrael? Hey buddy, I thought you'd still be salvaging parts." Bit slapped him on the back in a friendly way.
"Yeah, we'll I've been a lot more successful since then. I'm getting paid highly now."
"Oh really, what is it you do?"
"I'm a bounty hunter."
*****************
Leena and Jill arrived at the marked coordinates Jill had noted.
"There's your zoid." Jill searched around the scenery shielding her eyes from the blazing sun.
"Is that part of Kat's zoid?" Leena asked as they both looked closer. Sure enough it was part of Kat's zoid, the pivot gun anyway.
Jill moved the Core to pick it up, as Leena left Jill's zoid, and came over to her new one.
"Ahh....." She muttered why looking it over.
"Its like a female version of the Liger zero." She noted, then without examining it any more jumped into the cockpit.
The control panels were a bit dusty, and the screens a bit cracked but when she turned it on the zoid lit up nevertheless and let out a wild war, then charged off in a different direction then the way Leena had hoped to go. She began screaming trying to bring down the seatbelt but it was jammed. Then her eyes darted around the controls looking for a possible break. The only thing she could find is a red button still glowing.
She thought it over, but without any other chose, pressed it. Then the Ligra began to glow a bright green.
******************
Jill watched Leena's zoid speeding off, at first she thought it out of control and that she should help Leena, then looked down at parts of Kat's zoid, and dismissed the thought of Leena from her mind.
Jill's radar picked up two far off zoids, closer to Atlantic city. Still at the same token she saw two other zoids behind her.
One in the air excelling at high speed, one she guessed was Silver Storm with Savannah. The other was on ground which Jill knew as the Silver Blade Liger with Ace.
Jill then looked off in the direction Leena darted off in, and then shrugged and turned around to meet the others.
****************
"So Ray what are you doing out here anyway?" Jamie asked at dinner as he dished out the food.
Ray shrugged wondering just how to explain this.
"Actually I came out here looking for someone. Then I was on break and decided to check out the transporters. Then I was skating around yours and you should know the rest."
"Looking for someone? Who to be exact?" Piped up Leon.
"Um........." Ray pondered if she should tell them or not. "Ah...Ria and Lee....." She sad somewhat depressively then continued. "Ria was my sister that got kidnapped, and Lee is my brother that disappeared. I'll tell you the entire story sometime if you want but ah...."
Doc patted her on the back. "Its alright, one of us is missing to, but she left on her own. There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe Lee left too."
Ray nodded. "If you knew the whole story..." She thought to herself.
Jamie trying to cheer them up rang the dinner bell which made Brad and Naomi come in from the hanger.
When they finished the meal Ray couldn't help herself but asking. "Who was it of you that is missing?"
Leon looked down. "My little sister Leena." Ray nodded her head not planning to bring the subject up again. Suddenly an explosion rocked the hover cargo tipping it slightly until it regained balance. Ray who had skates on was send back ramming into the wall knocking out. Leon ran to her side as Jamie Naomi and Brad ran out to see what was going on.
***********
Nick Scott slipped away from Fuma promising to meet her again later, but now he had more important things to take care of. He lurked in the shadows determined not to draw any attention to himself, then dashed away into an empty room with a radio.
"X-Treme to Z.B.C. come in zoid battle commission. Some one -hello."
***********
Ray's radio crackled just as Leon set her down on a bed.
"X-Treme to Z.B.C. come in zoid battle commission. Some one -hello."
It crackled. Leon gave a confused glance to Ray whether she could see it or not and picked up the radio.
"Hello." He said into it.
**********
"Yes!" Nick said to himself.
"This is X-Treme the newly formed backdraft group is planning to hold an uns-" He was cut off as the transmission was cut off.
"Hello...." He said into it a few times without an answer.
"Its dead." Nick angrily threw the useless radio across the room. He began muttering to himself until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Fuma!" He flipped around surprised.
Fuma arched an eyebrow, Nick lead his eyes to the ground and cursed to himself. Now his fate was in Fuma's hands.
*********
The radio crackled again "This is X-Treme the newly formed backdraft group is planning to hold an uns-" then it blurred there was nothing but static.
Leon pondered, Ray could be in the backdraft, then left the room not forgetting to lock it, and take the radio with him.
*********
Kat geared at the controls trying to hold on.
"How did that-" She was cut off by rumbling for a second. "-bounty hunter know I was in that backdraft."
She pressed her zoid to the max returning fire to wear down the enemy's shield.
"That's right little girl, give it up now." A voice, which she didn't know that belonged to Ky crackled on the com-link.
Kat gritted her teeth, and did some acrobatics to avoid enemy fire. If she only had her pivot gun, and had this thing repaired it would be so easy to take him out. She finally launched her expensive missile as the only one she had causing the entire ground to rumble within at least 40 miles.
As a cover by the flashing light she took off into the sky.
"You may have gotten away this time, but remember girl I've never failed yet." Ky said to himself, then left the field before anyone saw him.
********
Chaos brought his zoid into the lighting teams hanger slowly then getting out of the cockpit. Across from him Kelly also parked her zoid and hopped out rubbing her head.
"After all that and a canceled match." She muttered to herself angrily and headed into main room followed by Chaos.
They both collapsed on seat.
"You'd except more of a battle." Chaos noted, Kelly just nodded. This conversation was going no where.
"Kelly, do your friends ever get you and your sister mixed up." Chaos couldn't help himself from asking.
Kelly arched an eyebrow then just shrugged. "Sometimes, but that's just because we are identical."
"Or they don't know you that well." Chaos brought up.
"Well then that would just piss me off." Kelly pouted.
Chaos put an arm around her so Kelly blushed slightly, but didn't move back.
"I won't get'cha mixed up, promise."

*Dream Sequence*
A younger version of Ray(about 13) with scratches and cuts on her skated as fast as she could, something was chasing her she just couldn't see what. Sliding around another corner in this strange maze, she tried to stop when she came to a dead end, but couldn't stop in time and smashed into the wall. She fell forward knocking her chin among the new ruble that was there.
Rubbing her head, she slowly got up shaking. Then in the distance she could see a silvery shinning zoid, that she had to shield her eyes for a second, until it came into focus. Then in front of her she could see her sister Ria crying because she was lost.
Ray frowned slightly and went cheer up her sister, until right when Ria reached out to grab her hand, Ria was snatched away from her by a man with longer gray hair, and sparkling eyes behind small glasses.
"Hey." Ray moved her mouth to say, but no sound came out.
The man watched her for a second then kicked her in the stomach causing her to fall down as she could now only helplessly watch as her sister was taken away by this awful man in his shinning silvery zoid. Then above her appeared her brother. She screamed after him, but he didn't seem to hear her and disappear into the distance, and faded away into nothingness.
Ray collapsed again face up staring at the sky which was navy blue and blackness that swirled around her.
Soon the rocks disappeared as she got taller, then a year older version of herself stood up, then glanced to her left side where a helcat like the one she has now stood baring its teeth. She jumped into it, as someone-her mothers face appeared on the screen mouthing 'You said you would protect your siblings.'
'You failed.'
"No!!!" Ray screamed shaking her head with her eyes closed trying to rid this image.
"It wasn't my fault! I swear I didn't do it!!!" Suddenly a bright flashing light took over the zoid, and Ray found herself floating in nothingness. The older version her age now of herself. Her radio began crackling.
"Their coming! The backdrafts taking over!!" The person on the radio shouted.
Ray couldn't move but only float there. 'I must help!' She thought but could do nothing. From the left side of her it began to light up, white then advanced spreading. Soon she was caught up, and disappeared.
*End dream sequence.*
"No! I swear it wasn't me!!" Ray screamed in her sleep, and the second she awoke, jumped up her fist in a punch that nearly missed Leon. He dodged it, then calmly lead her arm down.
She shook her head snapping back into reality.
"Sorry it was ah-" She began lowered her eyes to the ground.
"Its alright. Just a nightmare." He said patting her on the back which made her blush.
"I wish it was only..." She thought to herself.
************
Mayu picked up the pace a bit as every once and awhile a big explosion shook her Krystallite, which is a gun sniper IX. Every time a blast would hit down near her she'd cusses hoping that didn't leave a mark.
She was approaching close to the coordinates the Blitz team's next fight was suppose to be at, although got a little side track avoiding the fight that already was going on.
She tighten her grip of the controls as her radar picked up the blue hover cargo up ahead.
************
Then the Ligra began to glow a bright green. The cockpit began to shake rapidly as Leena held onto the controls as the only thing holding her in. The screens flashed different colors then came into the black, and green line data screens.
Leena couldn't make out what was it that was on the screen ahead of her only enough to see 'destruction.'
The Ligra titled to one side, then became even again, although Leena lost her balance, and tumbled off to the right side knocking her head on the control panel, and knocking out.
************
Ray skated around the Blitz team base, occasionally going to room to room, saying hi to everyone then appearing there again five minutes later.
Jamie walked out with a coke, and had to jump back as she went by.
"Ya'd think you'd cool it with the skates around now." Leon said upon her fourth time entering his room.
A smirk appeared on Ray's face, as she sat down on his bed next to him.
"What can I say I like skating."
Leon smiled back, then glanced over at Ray's face.
"Hey Ray, how did you get that scar?" Leon asked. Ray just shrugged.
"Well, its kind of a long story, so are you sure you want to know?" Ray asked, Leon nodded.
"Yeah, its always nice to know more about people, and friends." Ray blushed hoping Leon was referring to her as being his friend, but shook it off before he could see.
