The Mysterious Zoid Eve: Chapter Nine: The Final Battle
Author's Note: I'm back with chapter nine! Sorry for the long wait. There may be an epilogue after this. If so, expect it a week or two from now. Also, I've decided to name Mark's organoid Violet. I've edited the last chapter so that's said. Please read/review with your opinions. Any ideas/suggestions for an epilogue and a sequel are welcomed.
"So Raven, will you help us out?"
"That depends Van. If you never bother me again, then I will. You can trust me because I'm in no condition to fight you even if I wanted to, since the Geno Breaker was previously beyond repair without Shadow, and if I turn evil again, Shadow will die. Do you agree to my terms?"
"Yes, but let's go now!" Van answered as he shook Raven's hand and started running out of the temple. Everybody followed suit. Less than five minutes later, everybody was outside and in their zoids with their respective organoid. Van let Fiona use Zeke since he was on the ground with Ryss and her Double Sworder.
"I've been waiting for you all. I'll give my brother one last chance to join me and you zoidians one chance to bring me to zoid eve." Luke declared as his Storm Sworder came into view. except it was fully repaired and now a shade of blood red, unlike Fiona's Pterosaur which was a blackish-red.
"Zoid's Eve is the guardian of Zi. There's no way she'd help you or I'd even dishonor her by bringing you to her presence!" Fiona harshly responded.
"Hell no! There's no way I'm helping you out again. You ditched me during the battle. Fiona, Van, and Zeke were kind enough to help me. I wouldn't leave them for you, a corrupt person. Why is your zoid red?"
"If you want to know that before you all die, I will tell you. Brother, the Dark Kaiser has given me Ambient to aid me where Hiltz failed. Now let me ask you, why has your zoid taken on a purplish-black tint? Do you have an organoid as well?"
"Eve gave me her organoid, Violet to help me beat you."
"You're going to beat me? You lost to Flyheight! I'd love to see you try!" Luke remarked, laughing as he fired a few shots at his brother, who had already started to mobilize.
"Hey Ryss, this guy's even crazier than Hiltz!"
"You got that right, Raven."
Ryss was just shooting at Luke until an idea hit her. She used her zoid to summon the mini- Double Sworders in an attempt to freeze Luke's combat system.
"What the hell's this?!" Luke screamed as the little bugs crawled onto his zoid and the monitors started going berserk. "Ah, good thinking Ambient." Luke replied as Ambient set up a shield, frying the little Double-Sworders.
"Ah, I forgot that Ambient knew that," Ryss thought as she mentally slapped herself. She watched the brothers fight each other in awe. They both had their blades out applying pressure to each other's zoid in a midair clash. Neither set of blades snapped, fueled by the power of the pilots' rage and their organoids. Luke withdrew his blades and started to charge his particle cannon. Mark did as well, and they both fired at the same time, canceling both attacks out. This probably would've went on forever, but Fiona flew in from behind with her Pterosaur's blades drawn from its knuckles, and punched right through Luke's Storm Sworder's particle filter.
"Damn you zoidian! Ambient can you repair that?"
"Gaarr." Unlike Zeke, Ambient didn't have the power to make zoids repair themselves.
"I don't the charged particle cannon to beat them anyway!" Luke screamed as he took out his blades again and tried to cut through the Pterosaur. Fiona parried with her own sets, tail whipped Luke's zoid, and moved to a safer distance.
"Shadow, have you gotten the boosters fixed yet? All I've been doing is sitting here, waiting!" Raven screamed to Shadow in the core. Without Shadow, Raven hadn't been able to fix the Geno Breaker after his last bout with Hiltz, since most parts for his unique zoid were non-existent.
"Ggrrr."
"Oh, you're fixing the particle cannon? Even better! Now hurry up!"
"What's this, am I out of ammo? Damn, that's not good! Ryss, how are you doing?" Van asked. All he and Ryss had done the entire battle was unsuccessfully shoot at Luke.
"We ran out of ammo a couple minutes ago. All we can do on the ground is watch."
"Yeah, you're right there."
"Mark, I got a plan, but I need a distraction. Can you make it?"
"Okay, but what is it, Fiona?"
"Never mind that! Will you do it?"
"Okay, here I go!" Mark exclaimed as he fired a missile right at Luke to get attention.
"What's this, you want to be the first to die?" Luke asked as he charged at Mark, blades drawn. Mark simply flew a little lower, and Luke missed. Fiona came from behind and grabbed Luke's Storm Sworder in a bear hug. She used her boosters in a way that she could hover way above the ground without flying.
"Mark, Raven now attack him with your charged particle beams. Aim for the zoid core! Zeke, even if I lose consciousness, hold the grip."
"Fiona, are you sure? You might get hurt?"
"Oh well, she's asking for it. Flyheight better not blame me if she dies," thought Raven, who apparently could care less what happened. Sure, he didn't hate Fiona, but she asked for this right? Raven looked at the monitors just to be sure, and yes he was now able to fire the particle cannon
"Fiona what're you doing? Do you want to get yourself killed?!" Van screamed. "How can she be so in-selfish? Does she even care about what I think in this? Obviously not!" Van thought as he punched the Liger's cockpit so hard it cracked.
"I have to do this Van for the good of all Zi!"
"You're crazy, you'll kill us both!" Luke panicked as he desperately tried to escape from the Pterosaur's grip. Eventually finding this pointless, he cast his shield and prepared for impact. Raven and Mark then fire their particle cannons. The beams slowly broke their way through Luke's shield and right into his zoid's core. Both Luke and Ambient, who were still inside, were both completely obliterated. The beam forced Luke's Storm Sworder right into Fiona's zoid. She set up a shield, but the impact had caused her to slam into the side of the cockpit really hard.
Zeke desperately tried to land the Pterosaur. Fiona had lost consciousness, and it was all up to him. He barely had landed in time. Van immediately hopped out of the Liger to see if Fiona was okay. He took her out of her zoid's cockpit, and transferred her to his own and went in as well. For some unknown reason, he just wanted to be close to Fiona. Zeke stayed to pilot the Pterosaur. Van had also just noticed that Ryss and Raven were gone. They left just as stealthily as they'd appeared. Mark and Violet were surveying the wreckage and Fiona was just starting to come around.
"Hey Van," Fiona greeted, exhausted.
"Fiona! You really had me worried there." Van said as he turned around and looked into Fiona's eyes.
"I had to do that Van to keep everyone on Zi safe. I'm sorry if."
"It's alright, I understand." Van interrupted as he put his finger over her lips.
Mark sighed as he kicked over another piece of metal. His brother's Storm Sworder was in that same shape all zoids with a shattered core were in. There was a red pile of distorted metal, which was probably Ambient. Mark saw his brother's burned corpse. He resisted the urge to spit on it, and instead kicked some snow on top of him. Even his bad brother deserved *some* kind of burial.
"C'mon Violet, let's go get back to Van, Fiona, Zeke, and the zoids." Mark instructed as he started to walk back. His purple organoid followed suit.
