Flying Phoenix
A Zoids Fanfic
This is both really old, and kinda depressing. It orginally had Matt and a girl called Nira, and Sean as a guy called Mike- so if the lines are screwed up, that's why. Quite bluntly, there'll be a few chapters in this, but all round it's discontinued, and a tad spoilish for the other Zoid fanfic of mine- Book of the Phoenix. Reading that before this would help. Alot to understand the characters. And now, with these words I depart.
Anyo!

From the cockpit of his Shield Liger, Falcon watched in horror. His teammate, Rhuidea Catstone, a.k.a. Flying Phoenix, was plummeting thousands of feet towards the ground. What was wrong? Rhuidea never allowed herself to go down that easily!
Instinct kicked in. "Rhu!" he yelled frantically, urging the Liger as fast as it could go. Too far to go, too little time. The Pteras crashed in a forest, followed by an intense explosion. Still he raced forward. "Rhu!" Sean wasn't the only one, Griffin close behind.
By the time he got there, there was only a column of fire, rapidly consuming the Zoid.
He climbed out, running on foot as close to the flames as he could get.
Sean fell to his knees, staring at the wreckage. "She's… Gone… Just… Gone…" tears flowed unchecked as he stared in shock. "Gone…"

Splashing water on his face, Sean looked at the neon numbers of his clock. "Great. 3am and I'm wide awake. Damn nightmare. Ah well." He headed down to the Zoid area, flicking on the lights, illuminating the half-built Zoid. He had salvaged what was left of the Pteras from the crash, and was experimenting with other parts of Zoids so far. He wasn't sure what to call it yet.
Sighing, he leant against a crate, replaying the dream in his mind. Angrily he punched the wall, leaving a dent there. "Gone." He whispered.
"Pulling an all-nighter?" Matt stood at the doorway, arms folded over his chest, a concerned expression on his face.
"Go away." He muttered, head hanging low.
Griffin's expression softened. "You had that dream again?" he nodded slowly.
"Every time I close my eyes, it's there. Every time, I am forced to relive those events. Every Time." His voice quivered with emotion and he broke down in unsteady sobs.
Matt sat beside him, putting his hand on Falcon's shoulder, at loss as to what to say.
Wiping his face, Sean stood up. "I'm going back to bed." he muttered, then left, leaving Matt sitting there, anguish painted on his face.
A few more chapters to come- but that'd be it. Till next time!
