A/N: Well it's winding down. The last few chapters are coming up. Oh yeah.
You'll find out what kind of ZOID Baybay has next time and trust me, it
fits. The whole next chapter will be about it. Enjoy. I'm going back to
school tomorrow, so things might slow down as far as updates. Au revior!!
The Geno Saurer clunked across the sand of the plains slowly. Raven was taking his time so he could think. He didn't know what to do now. If he attacked, Moonbay was dead. If he asked for help, Moonbay was dead. If he tried to trick them, Moonbay was dead. And even if he went along with their demands, there was no gurantee that Moonbay was going to get away.
" What a mess. I have to get Moonbay out of there. But how do I do that?" He mused.
Shadow growled and put a picture of the Guardian Force on screen.
" You know just as well as I do they can't help." He said.
Then he showed a picture of the Imperial Army.
" That might work. They said nothing about the Imperial Army. But they wouldn't help me. They might just arrest me." He said.
Shadow growled sadly.
" We're going in alone. We have to. I'll never forgive myself if she dies. I was so stupid to leave her there by herself. If they do anything to her I'll personally shove my CPG down their throats." He growled.

" GET OFF ME HILTZ!!!!"
Moonbay kicked the abrasive red-haired pilot away from her. He was trying to see her night gown from the inside. She had gotten angry when he kissed her again. Her knee flew into his groin and her other one pushed him off. He fell down and hit his head on a rock.
" You're fiesty." He said smirking.
" You b@$^%$*!!" She snapped kicking dirt at him.
" You have to go to sleep sometime pretty transporter." He said.
" Shut up you jackass!" She yelled.
" I'll be waiting right here." He said.
****************
The Guardian Force stood in front of the briefing screen in the Guygalos City Military base. They were trying to figure out the best possible way to rescue Moonbay. After Raven left, Zeke found the note and he brought it to Van.
He was in shock and he knew that they had to do something quick. Since Raven was already gone, they had limited time to do anything to save them. They already had Pterases searching the plains for Raven.
" We can't just sit here and wait. We have to go after him and get Moonbay back." Van said.
" We want to get her back just as much as you do Van, but we can't just rush in. That's how you get shot." Irvine said.
" But just standing around solves nothing and she could be dead right now!" He said.
" Stop saying that! Moonbay's gonna be fine!" Fiona said.
" Yeah. From what I've seen, if she can handle Raven all by herself, she can handle anything." Thomas said.
" Moonbay is certainly something, I'll be the first one to admit that, but she maybe in over her head here. Think about it, these people have two organoids and no problem killing anyone or anything. Knowing her, she's said something to one of them and gotten restrained or something." Irvine said.
" They do have two organoids yeah, but so do we. We have Zeke and Shadow. We can do just fine in a battle against them. Besides, they can't fight and watch Moonbay at the same time." Van said.
" Neither can we rocket scientist." Irvine said.
" Oh yeah. Well, maybe we could get help from the army." Thomas asked.
" The army. Good idea. They'd love another shot those guys!" Van said.
" Them and half the free world." Irvine muttered.
******************
Raven trudged towards the old mine site right in front of him. He was all out of ideas. He didn't know what to do. He had to save Moonbay. He was going to do that at all costs. If it meant his life, then so be it. He was going to get her back.
Stopping right at the entrance, he opened the cockpit. Below him was a smiling Reese. She was positively beaming with excitement and michief. He hated that look. If he could, he'dof blasted it right off her face. He stood up with his foot on the outer edge of the pilot seat. His arm was resting on it and he still had a scowl on his face.
" Where is she?" He asked.
" No 'hi'? No 'hello, how are you?' I'm hurt Raven." She said pouting.
" No, but you will be if I don't see her." He said narrowing his eyes.
" Oh, fine. Hiltz! He's here!" She called into the cave.
" About d$%# time." He said walking out.
" Where is she?" Raven hissed again.
" How rude. No greeting or anything?" Hiltz asked.
" I'm not going to ask either of you again. Where. Is. She?" He asked.
" Ambient! Bring out the prisoner." He ordered.
A roar from inside the cave was their indication that the organoid was in there. The sound of metallic footsteps became louder and louder as the red organoid approached. In seconds, Ambient appeared in the entrance of the cave. Around his neck was a chain. And connected to the chain was Moonbay.
Raven gasped when he saw her. Around her wrists were black chains and they had rubbed them raw. On her face were a few cuts and she had one big bruise on her cheek that spread near her eye. She walked with a stagger and her nightgown was torn far too much for normal. One of her straps was stretched and down around her shoulder.
He didn't like the sight. He burned a hole right through Hiltz with a firece look. He was hot. Really, really, hot. He was going to kill Hiltz. He was going to rip him apart with his bare hands.
" Hiltz!! I'm gonna strangle you!!" He yelled.
" Oh shut up Raven. Just be happy she's still alive." He said.
" You shouldn't have come Raven." Moonbay said.
" I had to." He said jumping down.
" I couldn't let anything happen to you. The whole Guardian Force is trusting me with you and I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you." He said walking over to her.
" Aww. How sweet. Reunited with your love. Only to be torn apart. The only way she leaves is if you stay." Reese said.
" Me? Why?" He asked.
" Because you can destroy and you can kill. And you're a vital part of the plan to reform the world." Hiltz said.
" Have you been drinking? Let me smell your breath. Because you must be drunk if you think that I'm going to stay here with you and the Smurf." Raven said.
" Then she doesn't leave." Hiltz said.
" Chikushoo." He said.
Moonbay raised his face to look at her. Her eyes were red and puffy and partly bruised. He hated seeing her like that.
" Please. Just go." She said.
" No way. I'm not leaving you here." He said.
" Raven-"
" No!" He said.
Before she could protest, he turned to Reese and Hiltz.
" I'll stay and do whatever you want. As long as she goes free." He said.
" Raven-" Moonbay started to protest.
" Quiet Baybay. You ain't got a dog in this hunt." He said.
" Good choice. Ambient." Hiltz said.
The red organoid bit through the chain and allowed Moonbay to go free. She shook the chains off her wrists and rubbed them gently to get the blood flowing again. She hugged Raven as tight as she could. She didn't like this deal, but she didn't have any say like he said. She couldn't change his mind.
" Are you alright?" He asked gently holding her.
" I'll be fine." She said back.
" Good. Now get out of here." He said.
" What?! I can't leave you." She said.
" Baybay, you have to go. I'm staying." He said.
" But-"
" You have to leave. Now get goin'!" He said pushing her.
Moonbay looked after him as she walked away. Hiltz 'hmph'ed and went back into the cave. Ambient growled and went after him. Raven watched her leave sadly. He didn't want her around while whatever was going to happen, happened.
*Click Click*
He looked up at the sound. Reese was pointing a gun at Moonbay's retreating form.
" Nande kuso?!" He yelled.
" Now I have my demands. Kiss me or she dies." She said.
" Excuse me?! Oh, you must be smoking." He said.
" Do it." She ordered.
" Never." He growled.
Reese shrugged and fired. Raven got in the way of the shot at the last second. The bullet lodged itself in his arm. Reese was a bit shocked.
" I told you.... If you were going to hurt her in anyway.... It'd be over my dead body." He said through gritted teeth.
The Geno Saurer clunked across the sand of the plains slowly. Raven was taking his time so he could think. He didn't know what to do now. If he attacked, Moonbay was dead. If he asked for help, Moonbay was dead. If he tried to trick them, Moonbay was dead. And even if he went along with their demands, there was no gurantee that Moonbay was going to get away.
