The Zoids Continuum: Transform Organoids

Hello my friends! This is my first fic ever! Ever, ever, ever! I have dreamed of this day, and now it has finally come.Are you actually reading?? *Blushes* Erm, well, on with it!

On the far reaches of the Milky Way, on the Planet Zi, there exist metallic life forms that possess superior fighting skills. These are the zoids. Warriors by nature, zoids have been used as the ultimate weapons in an ongoing war between the Imperial forces and the Republicans of Planet Zi.

Chapter I-Citri

A small dragon-type zoid raced across the desert. Many thought they weren't even seeing anything, it, or rather she, was going so fast. This small zoid was called an organoid, able to fuse with zoids and make them stronger. But this one was different, and she knew it well, just barely escaping the laboratory five years ago. With her went a friend, another of the only three that survived, and he mysteriously disappeared soon after. The last was lost to dark causes. This special organoid, named Citri, was a transform organoid, able to be either organoid or human at any given time, though she was yet to know she was anything but a freak.

Not far from her current traveling area was a colony of ex-Imperialists. Having established five years ago, the oasis was still fresh and the colony was doing quite well. The leaders, Lika Ansu and Brian Raice, had made a team of elite guards, both on the ground and in the air. Lika was the commander of the ground units; her fighting skills at the high speeds of her Lightning Saix were invaluable. Brian was the leader of the air units, his skills with flying zoids still unmatched.

None knew that both the colony and the transform organoid would meet, and with that meeting, both their destinies would bloom into brilliant color.

Citri winged low across the desert in her organoid form, her white wings outstretched. The silver metal plates and inner wires of her body working in unison to lessen the altitude of her flight until she was skimming the sand. As an organoid she was three, but not that it mattered, for she was in the state of mind as always, a 16-year-old teen with brown hair and silver-blue eyes. She remembered when they were only blue, before.IT. IT had changed it all, from her eyes to her life. Now she lived a life of exile, avoiding cities whenever possible, and when she it became essential that she venture into a city, she made sure to stay as inconspicuous as possible. But sometimes her hair and eyes made it hard, for silver-flecked eyes and silver-streaked hair were unheard of.

She spent her time alone, and mostly lonely. She had visited every part of Zi, but it didn't matter, she was what she was. Citri was thinking these dire thoughts, so pulled into the memories, that she didn't notice the zoid in the distance. But it had noticed her and was coming. Too late to hide, Citri noticed it. She identified it the moment she cast her eyes on it. A Lightning Saix, a cheetah-type zoid, she thought. Thinking on her wings, or feet, was one thing that she had been able to do since IT, among others. She zipped behind a dune and transformed into a human. And just in time. The Lightning Saix was now walking, and its head popped around the dune she hid behind. The pilot brought the whole body around, sat it down, then opened the top. She jumped out, her powder-blue braid snaking out behind her.

"I thought I saw a zoid come here." She said confused.

"I don't have a zoid." Citri stated.

"Yes, but I was sure--" the woman started again, but was cut off by Citri.

"Well, you're mistaken." Citri said. The woman opened her mouth, closed it and shook her head.

"OK, whatever you say." The woman said. "By the way, I'm Lika Ansu."

"I'm Citri." Citri said. The woman extended a hand, but Citri made no move to shake it. The woman drew her hand back slowly, and started hesitantly to speak.

"Well, Citri, I've gotta take you back to base. It's colony rules, you see. Any persona found in a two hundred mile radius must be taken for inquiry about matters convincing the War. Then we'll release you, or if you want to stay, you get initiated. But you don't get a zoid until you prove your loyalty to the colony." Lika explained. The Saix's head moved to the ground and she hopped in it, motioning for Citri to do the same. Citri was in, though, before Lika had even turned, her agility had also been increased when IT happened. The woman shrugged and closed the top of the cockpit. Citri petted the Saix, who purred in return. Lika turned around in her seat, looking at the girl with new respect, but didn't say anything. She had sensed the girl was special when she saw her, and her Saix had confirmed this. He didn't purr for just anyone. Lika turned to face the front and radioed the colony.

"This is Saix to base, commin base." She said. She received only static. "Damn! Hector said he'd fix the radio system yesterday!"

"The radio is fine" came Citri's voice from the back. Lika turned to look at her quizzically, but Citri was staring straight ahead, her pupils contacted to a couple sizes up from pinpoints. "A zoid is screwing up the radio waves."

"A zoid? What kind of zoid?" Lika asked. This didn't sound so good.

"I don't know. But it's strong, and it's got firepower. And.It's not afraid to use it.on anything or anyone. It's heading East."

"East!" Lika exclaimed. "That's the direction of the colony! We've got to get there fast and warn them!"

Citri nodded, but her eyes never left the back of the seat. "Let me help you." She said without thinking, then closed her eyes. Lika stared in growing astonishment as Citri began to glow, first white, then silver. Lika gasped at there was a sudden change in the air and a voice came out of nowhere, an echo of Citri's own.

"Two become one and one becomes two!" Then, from Citri's body, a zoidlike thing separated itself, it flexed it's wings then glowed itself. But the thing was more like a hologram, a picture you could see through. Then it became real, and Citri seemed to faint. The zoidlike thing glowed brighter, then you could no long distinguish it's features, then it was a glow within itself. Then the thing rocketed out of the cockpit, into the air a couple of hundred feet, then shot down into her Lightning Saix. All of a sudden, Lika's Saix's stats went up. What was that thing? Lika wondered, but had no more time as she remembered the threat to her colony. She rammed her Saix into full gear and he fairly flew over the desert to the colony. The Lightning Saix skidded to a halt feet from the gate, yet the sand-wave she had made reached the entrance of the colony. Then the Saix's stats went to normal and Citri blinked into wakefulness.

"What happened?" Citri asked. She remembered sensing the zoid, then saying she'd help Lika get back to her colony. She had no clue as to why she had done it. But then everything went blank. When she looked out of the one-way window, she saw they were at the fringe of an oasis and the entrance to a city. Lika thought it awful strange that the person who had done that couldn't remember what happened, but didn't voice her thought. Instead she popped the cockpit's top up and jumped out, the girl a split second behind. Brian Raice ran out, it was only in dire need that Lika came back without reporting.

"What happened?" he asked, then seeing the girl behind Lika, asked, "and who the hell is she?"

"I'll explain later. The important thing is that an unknown zoid is heading our way." Lika answered.

"What? Troops, to your stations!" Brian shouted. "What did this have to happen now?"

"What's wrong, Brian?" Lika asked.

"That crazy Liger is rampaging again! Damn! Why now?" Brian said, then ran to his Reynos.

"Liger?" Citri asked. She couldn't help herself.

"We found a blue Shield Liger some time ago. We took it in and repaired it. The poor thing had some heavy damage, looked to be done by a Gun Sniper. Anyway, it'll sometimes go on these mad rampages across the colony, or it'll just shut down. Damn Liger, no one can ride it." Lika said. "Get yourself hidden, but don't even think about running away, cause we got the best trackers there are." Then she jumped into her Saix and rushed off, the ground units following, while up in the air, Brian was leading the air units.

As they left, Citri thought about running. The threat didn't matter, the dunes changed like the sea, and, after all, she could fly. But something about the Liger, or this colony, told her to stay. So she stayed, her organoid instincts telling her there was an emotionally harassed zoid in the vincity. So then Citri had a task to do. She ran to where the organoid instincts told her to, turning this way and that to get to the other side of the colony. She heard a roar, one that she had heard many times before. Could it be? She thought, and ran all the faster. Then she saw a silver glint. No, it can't be!

She ran into a highly demolished area, as if a very large zoid had come and trampled it. And that was just what she saw. A very large zoid. Her very large zoid.

"Liger!" Citri screamed. The blue Shield Liger turned his head from behind his shield. Then he let out a mighty roar and came her way, discharging his shield. The silver of the cockpit top gleamed in the sunlight. The two Command Wolves stopped firing to watch what happened. The Liger stopped in front of Citri, his master from three years past. Then, he opened his silver cockpit. Citri hopped into it, from the ground to the head in a single leap, then the cockpit closed and Citri was alone.with her partner.

"Let's get goin', Liger. I have a very bad feeling about the battle between your friends and the other zoid who came." Citri said to her Liger. Then she pushed the controls forward and the Liger leapt into a dead run. ---
