The Zoids Continuum: Transform Organoids
This author thing is getting boring. Ah well. Realized I had to add disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER: no, I don't own zoids or any part of it. This is entirely my own imagination ('cepting the zoids themselves of course). But the characters do belong to me and you must not only ask my permission before you use them, you must let my see the story before publish it.
Now that that is out of my system, on with the fic!
Chapter IV-New Friends and Old
Later at the colony, Lika was telling the story about the battle, leaving out the part of the organoid and Citri's story. Brian was talking to the retired General, who had been in that incident.
At the moment Lika finished her story Citri walked in the door.
"Someone said I'd find you here, Lika." Citri said, ignoring the people around her.
"Yes. Everyone, this is Citri. OK Citri, I just finished the story." Lika said, then followed Citri out of the room.
Outside Citri exploded with the most emotion she had shown in years.
"I can't believe you told them about my story!" she yelled.
"I didn't. I left the part about the organoid and your story out!" Lika said. She felt that this was testing their newfound friendship, and knew the next thing might break it.
"Anyway, there is someone who wants to talk to you. Brian's there already."
"Who?" Citri asked cautiously.
"He arrived the same year as the experiment. His name is General Jack Dernhelm." Lika said.
"General?" Citri asked.
"You'll see." Lika said with a churning stomach. The walked down a couple streets, then into a building.
"Citri, meet General Jack Dernhelm." Lika said. Citri gasped. It was the man from the laboratory. She shrank away from him, trying vainly to make herself a little as possible.
"So this is the transform organoid you were talking about." Jack Dernhelm said.
"Yep, that's her." Brian said.
"What do you want with me?" Citri whispered, terrified. Jack hated to see her like this. She looked like such a nice young woman, yet so traumatized. She had looked when they got her that she had gone through a lot, and he had asked them to choose another person, but they insisted. Jack moved toward her with an outstretched hand. She shrank even farther away from him. "Don't hurt me, please." She whimpered.
"No, honey, I don't want to hurt you." He said soothingly. "I want to help you." He tried again, but got the same answer.
"No, no.Stop. Don't hurt me!" she whimpered again. Citri felt abandoned, like a puppy that was given as a present then beaten and thrown into the rain. She felt betrayed. She knew that at any moment her anger would boil up and she would do something stupid. She always did something stupid when she was filled with red, hot anger. Like that night after her parents were murdered.Citri started to shake. Then sob. She just put her head in her arms and sobbed. She cried for her parents, for her sister, for the chief, for the neighbors, and for Ambient. He had done this to Ambient too. He had changed their lives; so much that Ambient didn't even want her company any more, that he ran from her. Her life had been ruined because of him. But more importantly, Ambient's life had been ruined because of him. No one would do that to her friend and get away with it. She stopped crying and stood up to her full height of 6 feet.
"I will not let you hurt me any more." She whispered acidly. "And as for you." she said to Brian and Lika. "I thought you were my friends," she continued in that low, dangerous tone, "but I guess I was wrong. I was wrong when I told you my story. I was wrong when I helped you. I'll go, and don't you dare come for me."
Citri opened the door, looked back once more and saw Lika's pleading face. She turned her back on he only people she had only dared tell her story to, and left.
"No, Citri! We didn't mean it like that!" she heard Lika's last, desperate plea. But she ignored it, tears starting to well up in her eyes. "Citri!"
Citri ran, out of the city, into the dunes where she would be safe. She changed into an organoid just as Lika, Brian and Jack Dernhelm came out. "Liger!" she yelled into the sky. There was a huge crash and Liger was by her side. Side by side they disappeared into the dunes.
"We can send the air units after her." Brian said, but Jack shook his head.
"I knew this wouldn't bode well. She hasn't forgiven the Empire, and after all, I was the one she saw by her bed when she awoke." He said. Then he walked back inside. Brian followed slowly; he had liked the girl. Lika was the last to go. She had hoped Citri would be her friend, her equal. But it just hadn't happened. The crowd that had gathered was very puzzled, but no explanations were given, even to questions. There was nothing anyone could do.
Citri would have been crying, if organoids could cry. She would have been sobbing her heart out, but organoids didn't have tear glands. She was lonelier than ever before, with only the desert to comfort her. Then Liger made a small growl, she had forgotten he was there. She stopped, changed into her human form, and again sobbed. But she didn't have time to cry long, for she heard a shot being fired. She changed into her organoid form and her pupils contracted. Zoids, Imperial zoids. She looked. There were two Gun Snipers and a Command Wolf chasing a yellow Zaber Fang. Citri hopped up, changing into her human form right before she entered the cockpit.
"OK, Liger, let's go!" she shouted, and mobilized the Shield Liger. Liger Let out a mighty roar and charged. Citri put the boosters to full speed, and they rushed by the zoids, taking off guns, armor and even the Command Wolf's head. They were charcoal before they even knew what hit them. In front of her the Zaber had stopped. It's cockpit opened and the pilot jumped out. Blowing the zoids had let her let off some steam, and she felt ready enough to face someone. The silver cockpit top opened and she jumped out. She almost fainted when she saw who was facing her. It was Ambient; five years older, with two scars on his left cheek and dressed in Imperial soldier's wear, but it was him all right.
"Ambient?" she whispered. The boy took a good look at her.
"Citri!" he shouted and ran to hug her.
"I thought you were dead!" Citri whispered, looking up into his handsome 16- year old face. He smiled recklessly.
"No yet!" then his face sobered. "I'm sorry I left you that way." He said, looking down at her. "I know 11 is young to love someone but I did, and I realized this when I no longer had you." He whispered.
"Ambient.I've missed you so much. I thought you had abandoned me." Citri whispered, close to tears again. She rested her head on his chest.
"I would never." He said. That was how Lika found them; Citri's head on Ambient's chest. When she saw the two zoids facing each other, she had made her Saix as quiet as possible. Then, at once, both their heads turned. Citri's eyes went cold. She pulled away from the man she was leaning her head on.
"What do you want, Lika?" she shouted. Ambient looked surprised that she knew the pilot.
"Citri, I'm sorry! We didn't want to hurt you!" Lika said.
"What did you think would happen, I would let myself be talked to into doing something like that again? I don't think so!" Citri shouted back.
Lika opened the cockpit and jumped out. She assumed the blonde-haired boy with the green streaks was Ambient, Citri's friend. "Citri, just come back with me. Ambient can come too. We'll explain at the colony!"
Ambient was startled to hear his name and was immediately on his guard.
"Jack wants to talk to you, explain things a bit." Lika pleaded.
"Explain what?" Ambient asked.
"Things about you--I mean about transform organoids." Lika said.
"Ambient, do you remember ever seeing a man with black hair at the laboratory?" Citri asked him.
"Uh, yes. I woke up and he was talking to the doctor." Ambient didn't finish.
"That man lives in her colony." She said icily. Ambient was shocked.
"No, Jack ran away from the Empire after that and retired!" Lika said, trying desperately to explain. She didn't know what they would do if Citri decided she was on the Empire's side.
"I will not let that man use me as his Scout Fox again!" Citri shouted. Ambient didn't know what was going on, but he had a gut feeling that the blue-haired woman was telling the truth. "I will give you--"
"Citri," Ambient cut in.
"What?" Citri asked.
"I think she's telling the truth."
"Ambient? What do you mean? That man issued the experiment!" Citri said.
"Jack was only carrying out his orders!" Lika protested.
"I don't know." He replied to Citri. "I just know."
Citri sighed in frustration, but what could she do? She loved him, so she would trust him. "Lead the way, Lika."
Back at the colony, everyone was happy to have her and her friend back. They revered her because she had saved them from total defeat. They walked back to the building that Jack staying in, to find him with head in hands, silently berating himself.
"Jack?" Lika asked. When he didn't reply, she said louder, "JACK!"
Jack Dernhelm looked up, and surprise greeted them.
"What--How--Where--" he stuttered.
"Citri has agreed to listen, as long as you don't use her and Ambient--" Lika started, but never finished.
"Ambient? The other transform organoid?" Jack asked, leaping to his feet. He had grown into a nice young man. And he plainly cared for Citri. His feelings weren't as hard to read as Citri's. They would make a nice couple. "Nice to meet you."
"Um, nice to meet you too, I guess." Ambient said, surprised.
"Get on with it will you?" Citri said.
"Get on with what? Oh, I remember. I was going to talk to you about transform organoids. Take a seat, take a seat." Jack said. All the people sat down just as Brian came rushing in. "How nice of you to join us." Jack said. "Sit down." Brian sat. It was also easy to tell Brian was in love with Lika. He was so happy the war wasn't affecting that part of life. "Now, transform organoids. They are things that, either organoid based or human based, that can change into a human or organoid at will."
"Why did you make them?" Lika asked.
"Ah, to be the ultimate pilots. The dream of the century, pilots who had an organoid built in. Everyone was optimistic at first, but after the first hundred deaths, it was hard. Things went downhill after that. More children died, adding up to a total of 500 teen and preteen pilots that had exceptionally good skills with a zoid. The last three done were Citri, Ambient and Crow. No one knew why you three survived when 500 others didn't. Maybe it was because you were the youngest. But all three of you had one thing in common: you three had very odd DNA. Of course it helped in Citri's case that she was already bonded with her organoid. But all three of you were lovely pilots and so very young." Jack said and sighed.
"That's about where my knowledge ends." He said. Citri had regained some trust in the people here, after all, Jack had make no move to hurt her or mess with her in any way.
"I know what happened to Crow." Ambient ventured. Jack looked at him expectantly.
"That's why I left you, Citri, to find out what happened to Crow. The Empire was using him. To pilot a Berserk Fury. I barely got away. Citri saved me from them; I was about to be taken as a deserter and a traitor. What made it worse was that I made friends with Crow."
"Oh, Ambient." Citri whispered. Now she forgave Jack for one thing, it wasn't his fault Ambient left her.I guess I have to forgive Jack for everything, because he was only following orders. Citri thought. Her anger had died away to nothing and she felt happy. Happy for the third time that day. Or night, she noticed. It was late, and even though she didn't need as much sleep as before, she still needed some.
"Why don't we get some sleep?" Brian asked, yawning.
"Good idea." Lika said. Wordlessly they all stood up, said good night to Jack, and filed out the door. Ambient was lead to his quarters, which, Citri noticed, were close to hers.
"For breakfast come to my house; down the street, first house on the left." Lika explained. Then she left Citri to her own devices. Citri went in and sat on her bed, then she got up, paced, and sat down again. Finally she lay down to think about what made her restless. She saw the doctor standing with Jack, talking, remembered the horror when she found out that Katrine was inside her. She remembered the feeling of abandonment when she found Ambient's spot empty beside her, and the feeling of losing someone dear to her when she sent Liger away. But what did it matter now? Ambient was back, and she had Liger back as well. But she couldn't help but remember her sister's smiling face, her mother berating her for staining her apron, her father teaching her to fight both on the ground and in a zoid. Then she remembered those carefree days with Ambient on the knoll in their village, looking at clouds and saying, "Look, a cookie!" or "I see a lamb, can you find it?" Then she remembered the picture of her family, all four of them, that she had drawn and stuck to the wall of the living room. Citri felt tears roll down her cheeks and suddenly wanted Ambient. She got up, and walked the short way to Ambient's quarters. She knocked on the door. Ambient groggily opened it and she fell into his arms.
"Oh, Ambient." she whispered, then started to silently sob. He led her into the room and closed the door. The puzzled Ambient held her and asked no questions, just stood and petted her brown, silver-streaked hair. This seemed to quiet her, and soon her sobs slowed and finally stopped.
"Oh, Ambient, you can't imagine how I felt when I saw you gone." She whispered into his nightclothes.
"You don't know how hard it was to leave you." He whispered back. There they spent the night, in each other's arms, in Ambient's bed. And that was how Lika again found them the next morn. She didn't have the heart to wake the two, so she backed out and silently closed the door. She thought of Brian, her co-leader, who stole her heart.
"If only Brian knew." she whispered.
"Knew what?" Brian asked. He was going to ask Ambient if he would like to have breakfast with him.
"Yah!" Lika shouted. "Umm, nothing! Nothing at all!"
"Yah, OK, whatever you say." He said. "Do you know if Ambient's awake?"
"No, he's not!" Lika said.
"OK, OK! Then do you want to came over to my house for breakfast?" he asked.
"Sure.OK." She said shyly.
" 'Cmon then!" he said, and put his hands in his pockets and walked down the street. I wonder if she's guessed I like her? He wondered as he whistled. The walked silently down to Brian's house for breakfast. ---
okay, so maybe this wasn't as short as I promised. Sorry bout that. Anywho, R&R. Flames are welcomed.
