CHAPTER 12
Luke walked to where Hiro was standing, a smile on his face. He held out his hands, "Give me Rain now Hiro."
Hiro looked intently at master, not making an attempt to hand him Rain. He had been thinking of what Rain had said to him before, and was now believing it to be true. After seeing Luke threaten quite clearly to kill Rain, with a smile clearly on his face, he began to regret.
"Hiro, give me the girl now!" Luke ordered.
Hiro swallowed hard, then hesitantly said, "No."
"What!?" Luke stated, "How dare you Lieutenant! I order you to give me Rain!"
"No." Hiro answered, more surly than before, "I won't."
The group stood, staring at the scene before them. Lavender looked over at Rei. His normally soft, gentle, gray eyes had become hateful and angry toward Luke. His hands were clenched at his sides. She then noticed something... his hand was bleeding. He was clenching his fists so tight that he was bleeding. She was about to say something when she heard Luke laugh.
"Hiro... you are a foolish young boy. I shall not let this disobedience go unpunished." He stated, the same serpent like smile creeping to his face, "For your insolence, the girl shall die."
"What!?" Hiro gasped as Luke pulled the gun up, aiming it at Rain. He aimed it strait at her heart, and pulled the trigger.
Hiro did the only thing he could think of. He turned so that his body was protecting Rains. The bullet hit, and hot, crimson blood seeped from the hole in his shoulder. He staggered, falling onto his knees, yet he still held Rain carefully. He placed her on the ground gently, and looked up to face Luke, who had the same smile still on his face. He grasped his shoulder painfully, as he felt the dark depths of unconsciousness grip at him.
"I knew that you would try to protect her." Luke stated, "And now, all those who stand in my way, including you Hiro, shall die, and I shall get what I desire." With that, Hiro passed out.
Rei began to step forward, oblivious to his bleeding hand, a look of pure, concentrated hatred burning deep within his eyes. Luke noticed and turned to face him, "Rei, I wouldn't move another step closer... or I will not hesitate to kill the girl."
Rei cursed, stopping dead in his tracks, "Go to hell uncle Luke."
"Bite your tongue!" Luke yelled, "I will not be insulted by anyone in that way... especially you!" He picked Rain up off the ground, "And now everyone, you shall watch as I create my new world order. With the elite race of demi-humans at my control." He smiled and yelled "Come to me BlackDeath!"
The sands just outside the city began to shift, and an unbelievably large jet black zoid began to emerge. It let out a monstrous roar, so loud that people had began to emerge from the cities houses, in complete shock by what they saw.
Suddenly Ryuji let out a blood curtailing yell and collapsed onto his hands and knees. He brought his hands to his head as if trying to claw away at something. His body began to shake and he began to sweat.
"Ryuji!?" Goji yelled, running up to his friend, "What's going on!?"
Ryuji shook his head violently, "The... DeathSoarer... It's here." He gasped.
"Your not quite right." Luke stated, "I only used parts of the DeathSoarer to build this zoid... I call it the BlackDeath!"
Ryuji cried out in pain as he fell forward onto the ground, darkness consuming him. Goji knelt at his friends side, placing a steady hand on his back. The rest of the group ran over.
"Ryuji!?" Orihime asked, she suddenly gasped as she realized what had happened, "Goji get away!" She was too late in her warning as Ryuji pushed himself up and aimed a punch at Goji's emotionless face. The force of the punch pushed Goji away from Ryuji, and caused him to fall backwards.
Goji stared at Ryuji, suddenly realizing what had happened. Ryuji's eyes were now a crimson red, and his hair had become darker and more spiked. He also had an evil smirk on his face.
"Copper." Orihime stated.
Copper laughed menacingly as he looked himself over, "I can't believe it... im actually back."
The BlackDeath had begun its destruction of the city. Its pitch black armor reflecting the flames that had begun to rise. Screams of pain, fear, and torment sounded through the air. It looked very much like the DeathSoarer except it wasn't as large, and had three charged particle canons... one in the mouth and one on each shoulder. It had dark red spikes all along its back and tail, and one charged particle intake fan.
"This is all too grand..." Copper said, glaring at the group in front of him, "All the people I have come to hate, gathered in one place... soon to die. I can't wait."
The monstrous zoid was now on the other side of the square, and was lowering its hand to Luke. In the confusion he had managed to go down the stairs retrieve the system, and return. He climbed onto the monstrous zoids hand, with the unconscious Rain still in his hands. He began to laugh evilly as he looked down at the group, "I finally have it! Good-bye for now my friends, and you too Rei, for you shall soon see the world I shall create!" He held up a small disk as the BlackDeath slammed its tail into the ground near where the group stood, sending a cloud of smoke and dust into the air.
"No!" Izumi yelled, coughing slightly in the dust, she was now unable to see anything. The others gave out various curses in the dust, all trying to find one another.
When the dust cleared, the BlackDeath was gone, Copper was no where to be seen, and the town lay in flames, almost completely destroyed.
"Damn it!" Rei yelled, falling to his knees and slamming his fists into the ground.
Lavender ran over to Goji, who was bending over the man that had protected Rain before. The others soon followed. Izumi knelt and checked his pulse, "He's still alive."
"Lets get back to the Hover Cargo..." Zack stated, removing the headset off his face, "We should probably bring him as well."
*************************************
Copper watched as Luke carried Rain into the large castle, the sun reflecting off of the BlackDeaths armor. It was now well past 2 o'clock. He had managed ot hitch a ride on the zoid, unbeknownst to Luke. He soon followed Luke into the castle, staying hidden in the shadows.
Luke carried the girl down a rather long hallway, then down a flight of stairs. He opened the door to the I-Chamber, and walked in, setting Rain down gently in a chair. He turned on all the lights, and walked over to the first tube... the one that held Gabrielle.
Meanwhile, Copper was in awe of what he saw. He couldn't believe it... It was truly amazing to him. He made his way through the shadows, along the wall to where Luke was standing.
Luke was too absorbed in his work to notice Copper sneaking around. He placed the disk in a small slot one the control panel to Gabrielle's tube. He became startled when he heard a voice from behind him, "Very impressive."
Luke turned to come face to face with the evil Copper, "Who are you... What are you doing here?!"
"I have come to join your cause." Copper stated cruelly, "I believe you could use a skilled pilot."
"Who are you?!" Luke demanded.
"My name is Copper." Copper answered.
"You want to join me?" Luke asked, "How am I to be sure you will not betray me?"
"Because all those people that were at Saurian City today..." Copper stated, a look of pure disgust and hatred coming slightly to his face, "Destroyed me once... and I want to return the favor."
"I see..." Luke stated, smiling slightly, "As you wish. I can tell by your tone of voice that you are telling the truth." He motioned to an empty chair, "Take a set, Im almost done here, and Im sure Zero, Rei, and the others will be here soon. After all, they want to save the child." He cruelly laughed as Copper took a seat, "Won't they be surprised when they see the deities that I have created. Perhaps then they will realize that what I am doing is just."
Copper grinned, 'good' he thought 'after their dead, I'll kill this man and become ruler to what he has created...'
"Oh, Copper?" Luke stated, he had now walked over to an empty tube.
"Yes?"
"Bring the girl to me please..."
************************************
Hiro sat up suddenly, a sharp pain searing through his shoulder. He blinked his eyes a few times, then looked around.
"I see your awake." He heard. Hiro turned, and found himself starring at none other than Orihime and Jemie.
"Where...?" He began, then suddenly remembered everything that had happened "Is Rain ok?!"
"Rain is still with that Luke guy." Jemie explained, "But you have some explaining to do."
Hiro rubbed his shoulder, "Yeah I guess I do... just tell me what happened after Luke shot me."
"Nothing you need to know about!" Izumi said from the doorway. She walked in and looked down at Hiro, "I have two words for you buddy... Explain. Now."
