CHAPTER 8
"Sir we've located the girl."
"Good, bring her to me."
"Yes sir... but if I may ask a question sir?"
"Yes? What is it?"
"Well I was wondering why we just don't use the boy."
"Because we can't in his current... shall we say... position. Now go."
"Yes sir." The soldier left as someone else entered.
"Ah, so your back..."
"Yes sir... I've come to see how things are going." A female voice rang out.
"Very well indeed. I would like to personally thank you for everything you have brought us so far."
"Of course sir."
"But we need another subject."
"Who did you have in mind?"
"Hehe... you."

Kaiser jumped into the air, spreading its energy wings wide and soaring high. The Sky runner followed. Rain was much faster than Rei, that much was intensely obvious, but Rei had more arsenals and raw power. The Sky Runner began to open fire in mid air. Rain dodged the shelling easily, soaring higher and higher until she was above the clouds. She grinned mischievously to herself as an idea hit her. Slowing Kaiser down, she waited for Rei to break the clouds. He did, only to find himself immersed in a thick smoke screen.
Rain watched as Rei fumbled around through the smoke she had created. Quickly, she extended the blades on the tips of Kaisers wings, then made her way carefully behind him through the smoke.
"Rain where the heck are you?" Rei demanded, looking as hard as he could through the thick, dense smoke. He suddenly felt a jerk as Kaiser rushed by, opening a gash down the side of The Sky Runner, "Damn it! I'll get you for that!." Rain laughed pulling down on the controls and diving out of the smoke, The Sky Runner hot on her tail. She continued to dive, gaining more and more speed, watching as the ground came rushing up at her.
"Rain!" Rei yelled, "Your nuts! Pull up!"
Rain grinned and continued on her crash course with the ground. At the last second she yanked up on the controls, and spread the Kaisers wings as wide as the would go. She extended the blades, the sudden force of the wings opening pushing her back up toward The Sky Runner, who was still following Kaiser.
Rei was shocked as he felt the impact of the blades slice up the Sky Runner, almost completely slicing the leg clean off. He landed, cursing to himself as Rain appeared on a screen in front of him.
"Common! After all that big talk I thought this would be harder!" Rain taunted.
"Shut up kid." Rei answered.
"I haven't even battled in like, 7 months... if not more. I wanted a 'challenge'." Rain emphasized on the word, challenge, as if she was declaring one.
"You want a challenge, you got one!" Rei excepted with a grin. Suddenly the back of The Sky Runner opened, revealing a strong beam canon.
Rain was almost to amazed at the Sky Runner to dodge. After all, this zoid had hidden wings, hidden guns, a hidden beam canon... what else could this thing do? She shook her thought away and veered left, still being hit in the left hind leg by the shot. "How'd you like that..." Rei started, suddenly he gasped as the zoid jerked forward by a barrage of missiles, "What the hell was that!?"
Rain flew in lower, surprised by Rei's sudden outburst, "What's wrong?" She suddenly found out when she too was hit from behind by the unseen enemy, "Rei get above the clouds, they won't be able to hit us from way up there."
"Right!" Both zoids took off into the air, Rain dropping a thick fog of smoke along the ground. She stared at it a moment, suddenly seeing it pass over something, "Hell cats!" The two continued to rise, getting out of the barrage of missiles. Suddenly a voice came on both com-links, "Rain Light-Feather, come with us peacefully or suffer the consequences. If you do not cooperate, we will shoot you down."
"Screw you!" Rei yelled, then opening a link only with Rain ,"What the hells going on!?"
"I don't..." Suddenly she cried out as she was hit from above. She looked up to see an entire squad of Reddlers, along with a very modified pteras. The pteras had a large gun on the top of it's head aimed strait at Kaiser. It fired, shooting an unrecognizable shell at the dragon.
When it hit it spread a field of charges through and over the Kaiser, completely rendering it helpless. The wings gave out and it fell, the charges still moving up and down its body. Rain braced herself for the impact with the ground.
"Rain!" Rei yelled, watching as the girl fell helplessly toward the ground.
Kaiser hit, and seemingly roared out in pain. Rei opened a com-link worriedly with rain, "Kid are you ok!?" A screen appeared in front of him, showing Rain with a large gash on the side of her head, and a line of blood coming from her mouth. She looked up and winced, bringing her hand to her side, she felt her ribs, which even she could tell were broken. Wiping her chin, she answered, "Im... all right... Get out of here now."
LightStrike suddenly appeared on Rains screen, he was peering through the cockpit, his worried face looking in on Rain. She knew that he wouldn't be able to hear him through the glass of the cockpit, so she carefully formed the words on her lips, "Run. Hide."
LightStrike understood and ran. He ran to a jet of rocks, handing in a large crevasse. Rain sighed in relief, the organoid tucked safely in the rocks. Suddenly she heard Rei again, "Rain what's going on!?"
"Rei, " She winced, "Get out of here. These people are going to take me. Run."
"No way not if their after you. I can take them."
"No. Run..." She reached up and touched the gash on her forehead and smiled. She suddenly remembered the last time she received a similar cut. It was that fate filled night when her team went against the FireBlazers... then Copper and Zero showed up and attacked. They shot her down and and she received a cut just like the one she had now...
"At least this time Im awake... now I know I've gotten stronger..."
"What?!" Rei demanded.
"Rei.... leave before I make you leave."
"You can't make me leave." Rei answered smugly, thinking he had won the argument.
"LightStrike!" Rain yelled, turning on the loudspeaker now not caring if the enemy heard her, "Take Rei away. Get him out of her and take him to the others."
The organoid jumped from his hiding place with a roar and soared into the air. In a blinding flash of light he fused with the Sky Runner, and took off at a fast flight.
"What the hell!?" Rei yelled, "Rain!"
"Rei i'll be ok... just go meet with my friends, they'll explain everything... I promise." Rain said.
"No!" Rei yelled, "I don't even know who your friends are... plus Im not going to leave you here to fight."
"I," She stated, "I don't plan on fighting... I can't. My zoid won't even move." She clicked off the com-link.
"No Rain!" Rei yelled angrily, pounding his fists on the controls, "LightStrike! Take me back now!"
The organoid roared and continued to fly, it flew in the direction that it hoped the others would be in...
***********************************
Izumi sat with Tyra in the town square waiting for everyone to arrive. The other searchers had gone already to the hotel, and left the two FireBlazers to wait for Orihime and the hover cargo. It had just begun to get dark.
"Damn it. Bit should be out here." Izumi stated, "It's starting to get cold."
"We were the ones that volunteered to wait." Tyra answered. The two little boys that she had been watching before were gone, and now she was completely bored.
"What's taking them so long!" Izumi said, crossing her arms in front of her.
"They're coming all the way from the Blitz base." Tyra answered, she suddenly turned, thinking that she had heard something. It sounded like a roar... an organoids roar.
"What's wrong?" Izumi asked, turning to look in the direction that Tyra was.
"Nothing... just thought I heard something."
"I didn't hear anything..."
Suddenly the bushes rattled and a silver blur headed strait for Izumi. It hit, knocking her completely off of her feet. She looked up at her attacked, ready to beat the crap out of them, only to gasp.
"LightStrike!" Izumi and Tyra stated together, both equally surprised that the silver organoid had appeared out of no where. LightStrike roared as if something was wrong.
"Get offa me..." Izumi stated, trying to pushed the heavy organoid off of her. LightStrike obeyed, and stepped off of the struggling girl, "Good... where's Rain!?"
LightStrike roared again as they heard another sound... it sounded like a young man, he was calling for the organoid. The bushes rattled again and a man stepped out. He had dark blue hair and gray worried eyes, "LightStrike?"
"Who are you!" Izumi yelled, "Where's Rain?!"
"Wha?" He stared at the angry girl in front of him, "Are you Rains friends?"
LightStrike roared as Izumi nodded, "Who are you!?"
