Authors Note: First story in a series of two that will come out. In this you will all learn (this is NOT what exactly happened to my best guess, this is just setting up for the squeal story.) how and why Zoid Eve was created, the birth of the Death Sauer, The lives of Fiona before they came into Vans life, the near extinction of the Zodians and a few other little surprises. Fair warning, this is guessing and helping setting up my squeal story, so no bashing cause it doesn't follow the anime, bash me for any other reason though, it helps my writing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids, if I did I wouldn't be writing for you guys now would I.
Chapter 1
Ancient Times
Years ago, before Alisi Lynnett became know as Fiona, and before there was a Guardian Force or a mighty Republic, or even a deadly Empire. There was no war, no fighting, and no bloodshed, only peace. But time changes, people change. Faith and destiny command all futures, weather good or evil. Darkness also exists, catching up to all planets, and when it does, darkness can end the most precious gift in the universe. Three civilizations on Zi exist at this time. The Zodians, making up most of the planet, the clan of Emonday which makes up the continent of Nyx, and the oldest of the three, the Olyhay Enmay. All three respect each other, not willing to die for a useless cause. But a new leader emerges in the Clan of Emonday, calling himself the Dark Keiser, has a new ideal for the planet he wishes to make his own. Faith and destiny have arrived on Zi, and darkness shall soon begin to spread. This is the story of a small girl, given the power to control the uncontrollable, and the power to choose weather a planet will fall into the depths of Hell and darkness, or live to see a future of chaos and death.
"Alisi, I need your help here now." Janice, her mother said, calling her over.
"Yes mom?" Alisi asked, looking at her baby sister.
"I need you to watch Shay while I get dinner ready." She handed the toddler to Alisi.
Alisi was about 12 years old. Her brother, Paul and her father, Erik, worked in the fields along with the rest of the men in the small village. Life was as simple as it could be, they got what they earned, and didn't need much more.
She carried her sister, who was only a year old, over to Alisi's favorite tree. It was a massive tree, producing her favorite fruit on Zi.
"Hey Alisi." Another girl said.
She looked over and saw her friend, Ryss. She was strange because of her blue hair, but she was very nice to her. They lived in the same village like they have their whole lives.
"Hi Ryss." She said, setting her baby sister down. "What are you doing?"
"My dad needs help in the fields so he asked me to come." She looked down at Shay. "Hi Shay." She said, playing with the toddler. "Did you hear about what was happening on Nyx?" She said, turning her head back to Alisi. "They are starting to make a army, there new leader said it was time to take back what is there's."
"My dad told me about that, but he said they attack us." She began to climb the tree, looking for one of its fruits she loved so much. "Even if they did I don't think they could win, there so small, and the Olyhay Enmay wont let that happen." She found two of the round fruits and jumped down. She handed one of them to Ryss.
They sat there, eating, laughing. Alisi broke off a piece of fruit and gave it to Shay.
"I don't think she can eat that." Ryss said.
"Sure she can, she has before." They watched as the baby ate the fruit. "See."
Ryss smiled. "I have to go before my father gets mad for not helping him, why don't you come."
"I have to watch Shay." But she decided she could go and watch. They walked, it was a few miles to the field but they didn't mind. They watched as a few Dibisions towed away the wheat and corn that grew in the fields.
"I want to learn to pilot a Zoid one day, maybe even become one of the best." Ryss said, walking into the field.
Alisi sat down, watching her father and brother move the corn over to the Dibisions. They were both big and strong, very handsome as well. She waved over to them as they smiled at her. She turned and saw another friend of hers. It was Rao, she was shy of him, but she liked him just as much. His father was killed piloting one of the Zoids, it had gone crazy and accidentally ran off of a cliff. She was about 9 when that happened, but still remembered it. It was a big deal when someone died here, everyone knew each other and always helped everybody when they were in trouble. People were starting to get scared though, the man who wanted to be called the Dark Keiser was very serious about starting a war. Her grandfather had fought in a small war, but it wasn't a big deal. Her father told her that war could bring an end to all life as we know it. Every thing we work for could be lost because of it. She didn't want to see that, she hated losing a friend or family member. It had happened before but it couldn't be stopped, she knew that. She got up and began to walk back home. The sun was beginning, to set and her father and brother would be coming home soon anyways. She watched as several people already began to leave, going home after working all day. She looked at Shay, she was asleep. Alisi smiled. She kissed her sister on the forehead gently as she got to the door of her home. She put Shay down in her bed, walking into the kitchen to help her mom serve dinner. They heard Paul and Erik walk into the house. Alisi went and greeted them.
"Hi dad." She said, giving her father hug.
"Hey honey." Erik said, watching Paul put the tools away.
"Janice, is dinner ready, I'm starving." He said, walking into the kitchen.
"Always is." She said.
They sat down and began to eat, talking like they usually did. But Erik said something that was never said before.
"The Emonday's attacked a village near the coast today. I guess they were serious about war." He said, watching his family look at him in shock.
"We might have to go over there for a week and help clean up." Paul said next.
"I thought we weren't going to get involved in this." Janice said.
"Don't have a choice now. Their army is about 160 miles away from us. The city council decided to slow down in the fields and get ready to defend the city." He got up and walked out of the room. "We have to leave tonight."
Paul got up and followed him. "Relax mom, well be back. Just need to help clean up and find any survivors. Their army moved on, that we know for sure." He hugged him Janice and took one of the rifles his father had. They both walked out of the house.
"Well, I guess they'll be ok." She said, starting to wash the dishes.
Alisi looked out the window into the night, the stars were out like always and the night was peaceful. She hoped it would last.
Lord Robert, the leader of the Zodians, sat there listening to one of his Prime Ministers plan for defending themselves against the Dark Keiser.
"And what if this fails." Robert said, watching the man fall silent. "Then we would all die anyways."
The Prime Minister agreed and sat back down.
"We need to make sure we come up with a plan that can not fail. I do not want to take a chance and let my people die because we didn't think hard enough." He looked over out the window. "What about the Jahalla. Would he help."
They all shook their heads. "He wouldn't let the Olyhay Enmay fall into a war. They are way to religious."
He looked back out. "Well then lets think harder." He went to his chair, thinking of what to do. This would be a long night.
Jahalla and the four leaders of the Olyhay Enmay, began to pray when the heard of the attack.
"There must be something we can do." Prano, one of the four men, said. "If not then he will come after us."
The other three agreed.
Jahalla looked up to the roof. "When we must fight then we must fight, but if we need not then no blood shall spilled from are bodies."
They knew not to challenge him. "Yes I suppose you are right."
He got up and walked over to a statue, and then he knelt before it. " Zoid Eve may need to be awakened." Jahalla said, kneeling before the statue. "But we will wait till it must be done."
They all nodded. They put their hoods over the heads and walked out.
Jahalla looked at the statue. "Mother of all life, protect us now, give us your blessing." He slowly stood up, he was the only man who could open the gate to Zoids Eve. And for reason, he never did it, the same with all of the leaders before him. They were men of religion and stature, and never fought unless it was needed. But if it was needed, then they could destroy all life if they wanted. He walked out of the room, hoping it would never have to come to that.
