Authors note: Thanks to all my readers again. Sorry for the delay, my
dads in the hospital, (for the second time in 3 weeks) and homecoming was
yesterday. I've been busy working on my CD rack for wood tech and I've
been helping out with my friends project.
Ok, I figured out the reason for the whole TENCHI/TENSHI misspell. My word possessing program has an auto-spell-check, and I had TENCHI in the database, but not TENSHI. So when I typed out TENSHI it automatically changed it to TENCHI, and I was too stupid to notice. I hate my computer for that... it changes all the words that aren't in it's database, to the closest things it can find. I changed it as soon as I read the first 2 reviews.... And I put TENSHI into my database too!
Anyways... Here's chapter 16.
CHAPTER 16
Cloud sat on a bed across from Ryuji, with the various sounds of the infirmary in the background. He had already instructed Jemie and Ori on how to deal with his armor, and they were hard at work. Cloud winced painfully as he felt everything that they were doing. 'Now I know how a zoid feels' he thought.
He sat patiently and painfully waiting for them to finish, while Izumi and Rei bandaged up Ryuji. He had some major wounds, along with a bunch of burns and bruises. The others were all repairing the zoids, which all sat in the hanger of the waterfall base.
"Ok...." Jemie said, "That should do it Cloud."
Cloud nodded, "Thanks guy's."
Cloud stood up and began to leave. The others all followed silently. He walked into the hanger, and looked around at all of his friends, "Im going now. None of you are following me. Understand?"
"Nope!" Izumi stated, "Can't understand a damn thing your saying Cloud so I guess I'll go too."
"Izumi." Cloud said, "I don't want any of you hurt. Gabrielle isn't dead and she's probably awake by now. I don't want either Rain or her to go after you."
Suddenly a huge explosion rang out and a siren began to ring. Cloud gasped, "No! They came here!"
He ran down the hallway of the waterfall base, the others only steps behind him as he flung open the door. He flew through the waterfall and soared up, the harsh rain matted his silver hair to his head. The others all loaded into their zoids and soon followed.
Cloud cursed, pure hatred in his eyes as he starred at the scene before him. Luke stood smugly with Rain standing at his side, a rose in his hand, and Gabrielle sitting at his feet. The three of them were on top of Kaiser.
"Well, what do we have here?" Luke stated, his voice booming above the harsh call of the wind and rain. "Hello Cloud!"
"Luke, let Rain go!" Cloud yelled angrily.
"Umm let me think about that first." Luke taunted, "Let my strongest demi- human go free instead of using her to annihilate the ZBC?" He laughed cruelly sending a chill even through Zacks spine, "I think not my good friend."
"I am not your friend Luke! I haven't been for a long time!" Cloud yelled.
"Really?" Luke said seemingly hurt, "You don't know how that makes my feel Cloud. I am sorry to hear that you do not consider me your friend."
"Bull!" Izumi yelled, bringing the Shadow Dancer next to the levitating Cloud, "Go to hell Luke!"
"My, my... your friends all have quite big mouths on them don't they?" Luke stated, "Oh well. Even though I think your father would disapprove of them, I guess they are your friends." He emphasized on the word Your, sending another wave of anger through Cloud.
"Uncle Luke!" Rei yelled, his eyes flashing.
"Ahh yes. Rei." Luke frowned, "How dare you confront me. It seems as though you have no respect for even those of your own blood relation." He sneered, "Especially since I have given you oh so much."
"Yeah." Rei cursed, "You gave me so much... a scar down my face and a horde of nightmares."
"Enough!" Luke yelled, "Gabrielle. I command you to take care of Cloud!"
Gabrielle let out a menacing laugh as she dove after Cloud, her emotionless eyes showing nothing. They took their battle into the air quickly, as the howling wind began to pick up.
"Rain!" Luke laughed, "The zoids... they are yours."
Rain looked up, strait at Izumi, her emotionless eyes seeming to pass strait through the cockpit and into Izumi's own eyes. Izumi shuddered. Rain suddenly jumped strait up, her angel like wings spread wide. The group was in awe. Even Rei and Izumi hadn't gotten the chance to see them open before.
Like the Kaiser, her wings were pure energy... but instead of being shaped like a dragons wings, they looked as though the energy had feathers. The "feathers" were each a dim lavender at the tips then slowly melted into a soft blue, then bright green, yellow, and finally white. The hot energy from them seemed to disintegrate the rain before it even struck her small delicate body. She then flew strait at the Shadow Dancer, not too fast but not exactly slow either.
Cloud cursed. How had Luke known the location of the Waterfall base? He dodged Gabrielle's sword and swung one of his blades at her arm, missed, then backed away as she swung again. He kicked and struck Gabrielle in the side, causing her to falter slightly. She yelled angrily as she brought her sword around. Cloud raised his arm and blocked the sword with one of his blades. Sparks flew from the two blades as both of them fought for power.
Meanwhile, the group below was having trouble deciding on what to do. None of them wanted to attack the approaching Rain. Tyra, Rei and Zack all took off into the air.
Rain flew strait at Izumi's cockpit, sword drawn for attack. Izumi cursed as she began to back away. She couldn't bring herself to attack Rain. She watched as Rain picked up speed, still coming at Izumi's cockpit. She gasped suddenly as Rain shot up... strait at Tyra.
Tyra cringed as the wing of her Storm Sworder was cut clean off. It went into a spin dive and Tyra braced herself as she waited for the impact. The aerial zoid collided with the ground, the cockpit shattered, and a wave of dust was sent into the air.
"Tyra!" Leon yelled, racing to the location where the Storm Sworder had fallen. Tyra climbed out of the cockpit just as Leon arrived. She had a bad cut on the side of her head, and her body was cut in various places due to the cockpit shattering. Leon caught her shoulders just as she began to stumble forward, "Tyra, are you all right?"
Tyra nodded, "Yeah... just a few cuts that's all." She looked at his pale, worried face and chuckled a bit, "Don't worry... I'll be all right." She then turned serious again as she looked up at the sky to where Rain was soaring, "We have to stop her without hurting her."
Leon nodded, "I know." The two ran back to the Blade Ligar, and climbed into the cockpit. The zoid took off to join the "battle" once again.
Luke laughed menacingly as he climbed into the cockpit of the Kaiser. He pressed a few buttons and the dragons mouth opened, revealing the strong charged practical canon that was located inside. He began to charge the energy, aiming at the Shadowfox and the gray gunsniper, both of which kept themselves hidden in a patched of pure black smoke.
The two in the smoke didn't even see the beam coming. The beam shot strait between them, completely melting off the two left legs of the ShadowFox, and disintegrating the right side and hind leg of the Gunsniper. Luckily for the two of them, the smoke had blocked Luke's vision, and he couldn't get a precise hit. Unluckily for the two of them they both were faced with a complete system freeze.
"Dammit!" Leena yelled, slamming her hands onto the cockpit. Brad however, was unconscious, and couldn't put up his protest.
Luke then took off into the air, to a spot where he had noticed the red Gunsniper was hidden. She was on the cliffs of the waterfall base, the perfect spot to snipe anyone below her.
He flew full speed at the unsuspecting Gunsniper, only to be surprised when the Raynos rammed him from the side. The Kaiser swung its tail around, the 4 blades on the tip of the tail slashing the Raynos wide open. The dragon then turned itself around mid-air so that it was facing it's foe, and began to fire it's twin vulcan canons. The raynos fell and collided with the ground, rendering the young Jemie completely unconscious.
"Jemie!" Orihime yelled from the base. She, Hiro and LightStrike were all inside, watching the battle ensue before them. Hiro opened a com-link with all of the remaining warriors, "You guy's Luke is on the move and he's already taken out Brad, Leena and Jemie."
"What!?" Izumi called, her face appearing on a screen in front of Hiro, "I forgot about him!"
"Thanks for the warning Hiro," Bit said.
"Sure." The com-link was closed and Hiro watched the battle enfold once again. 'This is all my fault isn't it?' he thought, 'if only I hadn't found Rain for Luke...' He watched as Rain had picked her next target. She headed strait for Goji.
The Temjin X ran after Kaiser, who had landed and was headed towards the clifface. Goji wasn't even expecting an attack from behind, and soon became aware very of the young demi-human that had started her assault.
Rain clasped her sword in both hands as she lunged it into the back of the humanoid zoid, opening a small gash. She then flapped her wings and dragged the sword upward, opening a larger gash all the way up the "spine" of the zoid. Sparks flew and disappeared in the harsh rain of the night, as thunder began to crack in the background.
"Damn it!" Goji yelled, turning around so that her was facing Rain. He was too late to put up a defense as she flew up just below the cockpit, then struck in the neck of the humanoid. The Temjin X collapsed, the command system completely frozen.
Lavender was next on the hit list for Rain as she sliced the legs clean off of her humanoid, it toppled over. Lavender cursed as she watch Rain slice open the neck of her zoid, severing any of the cords that connected the rest of the zoid with the cockpit, and also sending her into darkness as the lights inside went out. The only things still visible were the words "System Freeze."
Meanwhile the battle of the two demi-humans had returned to the ground. Cloud dodged as Gabrielle swung at his face with her sharp claws. The Demon brought her flame colored sword around too quickly for Cloud to dodge, opening a wound across his arm and chest. Crimson blood poured down his body as Gabrielle used her claws to open another wound on his leg. He cursed as he through a punch at her, missed, then dodged and attack from her sword.
Cloud then kicked at her, and she blocked, giving him the opening he was looking for. He reached and grabbed the choker around Gabrielle's neck. Just before he pulled it off her, he swung his free are around, striking her in the temple, and causing her to black out into unconsciousness. He tore the choker off as she collapsed onto the ground, completely unconscious. He turned to look back at the battle, just in time to see Naomi taken out by Luke. Cloud spread his wings and began to fly forward, towards the battlefield. He was weak, and flew slowly.
Luke looked at his fallen prey, the red Gunsniper, and laughed. He brought the Kaisers front leg up and placed it onto of the GunSnipers cockpit, and began to apply pressure, slowly of course, as to relish the moment. He heard the glass begin to crack as he continued to step down on Naomi's zoid.
Luke cursed suddenly as he was thrown off of the Gunsniper and into the side of the cliff. He looked to his left surprised to see none other than the Sky Runner, "Damn you, Rei!" He yelled, the fear from before returning as Rei's face appeared on one of his screens, "I should have killed you a long time ago!"
Rei's hate filled, gray eyes flashed angrily, "You almost did once remember?" He ran a finger down the scar on his face, "I remember too well."
The Kaiser suddenly charged forward at the Sky Runner, the three retractable blades on top of it's head swung forward. The Dragon was too fast for the Rei as he tried to dodge. He managed to turn sideways, causing the blades to impale his zoids side.
"Rei," Luke whispered, "Want to know a secret?"
Rei cursed as watched the gauges on his control panel fall dangerously low to a system freeze. He had stopped paying attention to what Luke was saying. He tried to escape from the Kaisers grasp but was unsuccessful.
"Rei..." Luke taunted.
Rei didn't answer. His attention was less focused on Luke and more focused on finding away to escape his situation. He pushed forward on his controls, which achieved absolutely nothing.
"Your parents..." Luke whispered, "I know what happened to them."
Rei suddenly jerked all his attention back to Luke, "Tell me!"
Luke raised one of Kaisers hands and pushed the Sky Runner by the neck down to the ground. He then removed the three blades from the zoids side. He watched as Rei began to struggle to try and get away, but was unsuccessful seeing as though the Sky Runner was now on its side and being pinned down by the neck by Kaiser.
Bit cursed as he avoided tried to avoid Rains attacks. he instucted the ligar to try and gently pin down the young girl, but the cat-like zoid was unsuccessful, resulting in it's front left leg being sliced clean off.
The Red Blade Ligar came up from behind Rain. Leon had gotten an Idea... They had all imputed shields into their zoids systems a while back. He raised his shield then began to force Rain down with it. If he could pin her to the ground underneath it, then she wouldn't be able to attack and she would be stuck.
It didn't work. Rain raised her sword against the shield and sparks began to fly in all directions. Leon couldn't believe it. He, Tyra and Bit watched as Rains sword began to neutralize Leon's shield. Within a matter of half a minute, the sword sliced clean through and Rain rushed up and onto the Blade Ligars neck. She stood their for a few seconds, then stabbed down, sending a flash of sparks up. She jumped off of the zoids neck, dragging her sword around, opening a gash all around. The Blade Ligar collapsed, the system complexly frozen.
Rain then finished what she had started with the Ligar 0. She flew strait past, opening a gash all down the zoids side. It fell over, completely frozen as well.
Hiro cursed suddenly. He slammed his hands onto the controls as tears began to form in his eyes. He couldn't get over the fact that all of this was his fault.
LightStrike nudged him and then kneeled, indicating that he should climb onto his back. Hiro complied, and LightStrike roared as he began to run out of the base.
The organoid jumped through the waterfall then began to climb the clifface. Hiro looked up as the Bahamut 0 and Shadow Dancer flew overhead, headed toward the section of the cliff where Rei was being pinned down by Luke.
"Your parents..." Luke taunted Rei, "I killed them. And Im going to kill you as well." Luke smiled cruelly, "Just like I should have long ago!" The Kaiser began to press down on the cockpit but was suddenly thrown off when Izumi came and rammed him in the side.
Rei tried to push the sky runner back onto his feet, but was unsuccessful. The screen flashed "command system freeze."
"Damn you!" Luke yelled charging strait at Izumi. Zack took his chance and tackled the Kaiser. Both zoids, the Bahamut 0 and Kaiser, tumbled backwards and off the cliff...
