genius! And don't you dare shame me! I hate it when people say that to me!
Besides, I have no shame!!
Moonbay was released from the hospital, in a few weeks. Raven stayed next to her bedside the entire time. He simply couldn't be bothered with trivial things such as sleep and food. He only got those when she made him. And for the moment, he was a Guardian Force member.
" I still don't like it." Irvine said as they traveled to Guygalos.
" You're just mad she chose me over you." Raven said over the comlink.
" What?!! You little-"
" Irvine, calm down. He's just trying to get on your nerves." Van said.
" He's doing a great job!" He said.
" Get off the comlink Raven." Thomas said.
Raven laughed and closed their link. He wasn't interested in their conversation. He got up to go to the back seat. He and Moonbay were traveling in the Gustav; towing the Geno Saurer. Shadow was driving while Moonbay was lying out in the back. She was ordered not to do anything strenuous.
" How you feelin' Baybay?" He asked.
" I'm feeling better." She said sitting up so he could sit down.
" Good. Because this isn't over." He said taking her into his arms.
" What do you mean?" She asked confused.
" That Dibison wasn't piloted, at least not normally. Ambient, the red organoid is the one that controled it. He belongs to Hiltz. Hiltz and Reese are in some kind of plot to destroy any and everything. And since the Death Saurer, they've been using me to do it. I don't think they like you and me." He said.
" Why should they care?" She asked.
" They said you're a distraction. You're keeping me from my goals and they want to get rid of you." He said.
" Is that what you think?" She asked.
" Of course not. I could never think that about you Baybay. Reese is just jealous and Hiltz doesn't like his plans going out the window." He said.
" So you're saying they'll attack again?" She asked.
" Probably." He said.
" And when we're you going to tell me?!" She asked sitting up.
" Huh?" He said.
" All this time I thought it was just being at the wrong place at the wrong time, but now I find out I'm being targeted?! I put everyone's life in danger by being around them!" She said.
" So?" He said shrugging.
" Raven, I know you don't understand this, but these people are my friends. I care about them and I don't want them to get hurt. With me being around, they could get caught in the crossfire and get hurt trying to protect me." She said.
" That's my problem?!" He said.
" Let me put this how you can understand. You know how you felt when I was in the hospital?" She asked.
" Yea. Terrible. I couldof killed myself." He said gravely.
" Well multiply that times 5 and you'd get how I'd feel if something happened to them." She said.
" Oh. So what do you want to do? Runaway?" He asked.
" No. I want to fight." She said hitting her fist in her palm.
" WHAT?!!!" He yelled standing up.
" I'm a good pilot. I can do it." She said.
" You must be smoking." He said walking to the front seat.
" So you don't think Ican do it?" She asked.
" I didn't say that." He said.
" Then what did you mean?!" She asked a bit irritated.
" I can't doubt your ability to fight because I don't know if you can! I do know that it doesn't even take a mistake to lose to Hiltz and Reese! You think I want to see you laid up at the hospital again with all kinds of machinery sticking out of your body with you barely breathing?!!" He yelled.
" Oh Raven....." She said.
" That's never going to happen again! You hear me?! I'll never let it happen again!" He yelled.
Tears freefell from his eyes. Moonbay got up and held him. He sobbed into her shoulder. She didn't realize she had affected him this much. He was ginuenly scared for her to get hurt again. She rubbed his back and waited for him to calm down.
" Listen Raven, I know what happened scared you. Hell, it scared me too. But you can't protect me from everything, all the time. If it's me these people want, then they're going to get me. But not how they think. I'm getting myself a ZOID. I don't want to get hurt either, so you can help me." She said slightly pulling away so he could look in her eyes.
" ...Are you sure you want to do this Baybay?" He asked.
" Yes." She said.
He sighed and stood up; wiping his eyes on his sleeve.
" If you're going to get a ZOID you'll need one that's best suited to your abilities." He said.
She smiled. He went over to the comlink.
" Ferinheight!" He said.
" That's Flyheight!!" Van yelled.
" Whatever. What ZOID type do you think oonbay is suited for?" He asked.
" Why are you asking?" He asked.
" Just answer the question Ferinheight!" He snapped.
" It's Flyheight and she could pilot at least a Dibison." He said.
" She's got more flexiblility than that. Alot more." He said.
" And how do you know that Raven?" He asked.
" Never you mind thermometer boy! When we get to Guygalos, we're going to get her a ZOID. She wants to fight." He said.
" What?!!" Van cried.
" Yeah. I tried to stop her." He said.
" Try harder!" He said.
" I did, but she grabbed me and did this amazing thing with her tongue and- "
" Augh!! I don't wanna hear that!!" He cried.
" I just can't help myself." Raven said laughing.
" Get off the comlink Raven!" Irvine yelled.
" What'd you do now Raven?" Moonbay asked.
" What makes you think I did anything?" He asked innocently.
" Because you're Raven." She said.
He pouted. She moved him out of the way and turned on the comlink.
" Van, I want to get a ZOID to beat Hiltz and Reese in." She said.
" Moonbay, I can't let you go fight against them. They'll kill you." He said.
" They will not. I'll be fine. Now how much longer?" She asked.
" Not much longer. But I can't let you go into a battle against them. That's suicide Moonbay! You've never even seen these people before! You don't know how they fight! They could have killed me because of-"
" You're horrible piloting skills and inability to control his ZOID." Raven finished.
" Get off the comlink Raven!!!" Everyone but Moonbay and Fiona said.
" The devil made me do it. I swear." He said laughing.
****************
They made it to Guygalos by nightfall. Thomas and Irvine roomed together as did Fiona and Moonbay and Raven and Van too. Van had insisted because he didn't trust Raven alone in a room with Moonbay. He didn't want to think of what they might do and he didn't want them to do it.
Fiona thought it was cute for Raven to be in love with someone. And she thought it was great that it was Moonbay. Ever since the time she caught Irvine some redhead in a town, she never looked at him the same again. They didn't talk very much now.
She looked over at said transporter; who was sitting at the vanity brushing her hair. Fiona smiled. Moonbay was very happen with her relationship with the black-haired pilot. She'd never seen her smile the way she did when he was around. She had found someone that loved her and could take care of her.
And Raven wasn't the same anymore. He didn't threaten anybody anymore. He could go days without even getting in a ZOID. He'd sworn off destroying military bases and killing people. He cared enough about her not to do it anymore. He wasn't mean and hateful. He just loved getting on their nerves and being being her.
" Moonbay?" She asked from the bed.
" Yes Fiona?" She asked.
" Are you going to marry Raven?" She asked.
" Oh! I...I don't know about that Fiona." She said blushing.
" Don't you love him?" She asked.
" Sure I love him." She said.
" And he loves you. So why don't you get married?" She asked.
" I don't...I don't know Fiona. I don't think that Raven is the type to settle." She said.
" He does everything else you ask." She said.
" But Raven is...well...Raven. And we've only been dating for several months." She said.
" At least talk to him about it." She said.
" Well, I guess I could do that." Moonbay said thoughtfully.
" Yay! Can I be in the wedding?" Fiona asked.
" If I ever do get married Fiona, you're be there." She said.
" Wai!!" She cried jumping on the bed.
She was so excited, she fell off the bed.
" Oh!" She said.
Moonbay laughed.
*****************
Van watched Raven warily. Said ZOID pilot was sitting on his bed grinning at the ceiling with his eyes closed and listening to his CD player. He shook his head at him. If he wasn't in love, he was an Iron Kong's uncle.
Raven hadn't stopped grinning since Moonbay kissed him goodnight. When he came out of his shower, he was humming to himself that song she used to sing. He then plopped on the bed and started doing what he did now.
He couldn't take it anymore. He needed to know why Raven was doing this. He still didn't understand what made him choose Moonbay when it was obvious Reese had a thing for him.
" Raven?" He said.
He cracked open an eye and removed on headphone from his ear.
" What?" He asked.
" Why did you choose Moonbay over Reese?" He asked.
" Common sense." He said dropping the headphone.
" But why would you want her?" He asked.
" Are you saying she's not good enough for anyone?" He asked.
" No! I'm not saying that! I just-"
" Don't think that I could ever love someone especially your transporter." He finished.
" I didn't say that either." He said.
Raven sat up and put his headphones around his neck so he could look at Van.
" You didn't have to. You don't understand what we have. I barely understand it myself. I can't explain it, but I really do love her. She means alot to me. I cannot tell you why I love her, the transporter. I can't tell you how I can love, but I do. Does that make it any better?" He asked.
" I guess so. I guess it'll do for me." He said.
" Good. Because it really isn't your business in first place Ferinheight." He said placing the headphones back over his ears.
" It's FLYHEIGHT!!!"
A/N: Hey DragonWinlan!! You promised me Raven and Jack Cisco!! I have neither one!! C'mon!! You swore!! If you don't write up the next auction so I get my bishonen, I...I...I won't put up another chapter!! And another thing! What kind of ZOID should Moonbay use?
