Random person:: *(puts head down)* Okay... *(Walks away slowly, then looks back hopefully)*
Me:: Grrr... Fine! You can stay! But be quiet!!
Random person:: Okay! ^.^
Me:: Somebody please help me... -.-'
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids and most of these characters. Okay?? And some of these scenes are based on those created by Ueyama Michirou-san.
The desert sand was shifting in the wind as a single person ran through the hot sand. Under his right arm, there was a hover board with a broken engine. The boy's breath was coming out in short gasps, and his thick black hair that needed a haircut badly was whipping around in his face. He looked tired and defeated, but somehow determined. Soon enough, he fell to the ground on his hands and knees. Trying to get back to his feet, the boy fell again, but this time he felt hard metal, that had been heated by the blazing sun. He took his hand away quickly from the hot object, and looked at it carefully. It was dull yellow, but bleached from the sun. It looked oddly familiar. He started digging furiously, until he until he had uncovered the head area of a dark blue shadow fox.
"Kit?" the boy asked. But there was no reply from the fox.
The boy stroked the muzzle of the shadow fox, and smiled wearily as if smiling to an old friend. He stood up and looked around. There was a pile of stones stacked neatly to create a stone pyramid. On top, there was a jacket and a helmet on a stick.
"Dad...It's me Lee. So... I guess the rumors were right. You did... die," Lee put his head down as his hot tears ran down his face. "At least Kit built you a grave for you before he died too..."
Lee got up, wiped his tears with his sandy sun burnt arm, then slowly walked away. He didn't go far before he saw a large rock. It looked strange seeing a rock in the middle of the desert. It was steaming, and it looked like it was from space or something. Lee went closer to the strange steaming rock, but tripped on something. His hands touched the rock, and what usually would have burnt a person's hand badly, Lee felt as nothing but comfortable warmness. Shocked, Lee circled the rock and touched it in various areas. Then, the rock started to crack. As it cracked, more hot air spilled out of the inside of the rock. It suddenly blew open, showering Lee with bits and pieces of hard brittle rock. The pieces bit and tore at his skin, but Lee seemed to ignore the pain; he was too occupied at looking at what came out of the rock.
It was about 10-feet tall from the tip of its nose the end of its tail, and stood on all fours. Dripping with what seemed like water of some sort, its white and light blue body seemed glassy. The creature had strong legs, and claws that could have ripped the throat out of any human being. Shiny metallic teeth gleamed in the thing's mouth, ready to crush and tear off any zoid's leg. Its large gold green eyes glimmered in the desert sunlight.
**Where...am I?**
"Y-you can talk!?"
Lee stood up suddenly and backed away hastily. The creature leveled its eyes with Lee's, and its stare seemed to burn a hole right through Lee's. At that moment, they both heard a rustle beside them. They both turned at once, and saw a large collection of torn up and burned metal. A person was struggling to get out from underneath a large piece of metal, which was probably once a Redler's wing. Lee rushed over, and attempted to move or lift the wing. It didn't budge. The wolf-like creature pushed Lee aside, and big down and lifted the wing. Lee just stared in astonishment.
**Don't just stand there!** the wolf creature growled. **Grab the human!**
Lee snapped out of his trance, and raced to get under the wing and to the person. He looked much like Lee himself, but older and with brown hair. Struggling a bit, Lee pulled him out from under the wing.
"Are you all right? What happened?"
"Others..." the man coughed. "Trapped in zoids..." the man went unconscious.
"Hello?! Mister?!" Lee shouted.
**We must get to the others. We'll try to awake him later.**
Silently, Lee stood back up, and headed back toward the mess. None of the zoids seemed to have survived the blast, but Lee and the wolf creature were able to save all seven pilots from the wreckage.
"You guys okay?" Lee asked softly.
None of the pilots stirred.
**Let them rest. We'll try to ask again when they are a little more rested.**
Lee turned to the wolf creature.
"What are you anyway?! Where did you come from?!"
**To tell you the truth human child, I do not know.**
"Oh... Do you have a name?"
The creature was silent for a while.
**I remember little of my past, but I remember them calling me... Frostwind.**
The two were silent for the rest of the night. In the morning, one of the pilots found the strength to sit up, but not without pain.
"Damn! That hurts!" Gyr yelled, waking up everyone else, and putting them into a frenzy.
"What? Where are we?" someone asked groggily.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Oww! I got a major headache!"
"Shut it! I'm still trying to sleep!"
"Um... excuse me?" Lee tried.
But everyone ignored him and kept talking.
"Did we survive that wave thing?"
"Are you sure this isn't a dream?"
**Be silent humans!** Frostwind growled, catching everyone's attention.
"Um... Can I ask a question?"
"Sure," said Kai, the unofficial spokesperson of the group.
"Who are you people, and what are you doing here in that pile of rummage?"
Everyone went silent.
"D-didn't we see Zi get pulverized by that meteor?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah... We did..." X treme agreed.
"What are you guys talking about? You ARE on Zi." Lee interrupted.
"What?!" everyone said at once, staring at Lee.
Kenji looked around a while. Then raised his hand as if asking a question in elementary school.
"Wait a second. I've seen this place before," he said putting his hand back down.
"What? Where? You've been here before? For what? A vacation?" Intimidator asked, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"No. It's not like that. This might seem a little crazy to you guys, but I think I've seen this place before in my 7th grade history book," Kenji said slowly.
"History book?!" Kai said, eyes wide. "Do you know what this means!?"
"Yeah! It means that Kenji actually paid attention during the 7th grade!" Hunter said out loud.
Kenji lifted his had, and slapped Hunter upside the head.
"It must be a genetic thing that runs in the family," Kenji thought to himself silently shaking his head.
"No, it means we probably- Maybe we should make sure before we make any assumptions," Kai said
"Hey you. Yeah the kid that saved us. What's your name?" Intimidator asked.
Lee was sitting quietly in the corner of the cave that he and Frostwind had moved the pilots into, and was caught by surprise.
"What me? Oh. My name's Lee. Lee Ravenhawk."
"Lee, what century is this?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Like, well you know..."
"Oooh! Now I get it! Well, this is the Chaotic Century!"
