Authors Notes: Ok here's what's going to happen. Like I said this is the first part of a series of three. The second part will go into the Rebellion that I talked about in A Warriors Wraith, and the 3rd and final will be the completion of A Warriors Wraith (sorry for that, but I figured this would help bring out a better understanding when its all said and done.). I gotta thank my friend for this idea, and for those of you who like it you all need to thank him as well. And if you hate it well, what can I say.
Chapter 2
Power of a Madman
Alisi and Ryss sat there by the lake, both of their fathers were out in the city that was attacked. Ryss was an only child, but she didn't seem to mind.
"You worried about your father Alisi?" Ryss said, breaking the silence.
"I'm trying not to think about it, but yes, I guess I am." She said, looking down at the crystal blue water. "I'm worried about Paul to."
"Yea, I guess all we can do is wait for them to come back." She looked at the water as well. "Want to go for a swim?"
Alisi shook her head. "I don't know how."
Ryss laughed. "How could you not know how to swim, its easy." She got up and jumped in the water. She swam for a little bit then turned to Alisi. "See, try it."
Alisi laughed and shook her head. "No, I told you I don't know." But she felt someone push her in the lake anyways. She struggled to the surface, able to stay there and she looked over and saw Rao standing there.
"Now you have no choice but to learn." He said, smiling at her. "Unless you want to drown."
She threw some water at him, hoping to make him mad.
"Better watch it Rao, she can get pretty angry when she wants to." Ryss said, watching the boy back off.
"I know, that's why I pushed her in." He said.
Ryss smiled. "Those two are meant for each other." She said to herself.
Alisi got out of the lake and walked over to Rao, she smiled but then smacked him on the back of his head. "Don't do that." She said.
Rao laughed. "Ok, I'm sorry."
Ryss swam back to the shore, smiling as she did. She finally got back and got out of the water. "So how come your not working at the fields Rao?" She asked.
"Nobody is, most of the people are over at the city helping the survivors. They told me to stay here and help my mom." He said, walking back towards the town.
"Oh, that's good then, maybe you can do something for once that doesn't involve work." Alisi said
"Maybe, but it will only be until they get back. Then it's back to work."
"To bad, I was hoping to spend a little more time with you."
"Someday you will." He said, walking away from them and over to his house.
Ryss smiled at her. "You are meant for each other Alisi, you know that."
"No we aren't, I just like him that's all."
"Whatever you say." They both walked off.
The Dark Keiser stood there, watching his men gather around for there next battle. He stood there on the front lines. "Another city to add." He said, giving the signal to attack. The battle wasn't much, the village put up a small fight but he lost maybe 10 men and a Zoid at the most. "Pathetic." He jumped down and walked over to the burning city.
"My lord, this city really wasn't much of an importance, we could have skipped it." The Commander said, bowing as he did.
"Every city is worth taking, few are worth keeping." He said. "Kill everyone in it, burn the buildings as well." He walked back to his GenoSauer. Listening to the sound of gunfire fill the air, and the smell of rotting flesh filled his nose. He enjoyed both very much. He pulled out a map and looked around for another city to attack. There was nothing major until they reached the palace city. He looked around and decided to head back to the city they just captured and set a base there. "Ok men, follow me." He yelled, starting his Zoid.
Jahalla walked down to the catacombs of the old city. It was dark and damp, with rocks used for walls and the roof. He came up to the tomb of the Olyhay Enmay. He saw the skeletons of people long since dead. The honored ones were given a concrete casket to spend the rest of there death in, a great honor for there kind. He walked down another hallway, down another flight of stairs. He stood there, staring at the gate of Zoid Eve. His predecessor had told him what she could do, and he told him to never open the gate unless the life of the planet was in danger. He would wait, he had no choice. Unleashing Zoid Eve could in the end, destroy every being on Zi, maybe the entire galaxy. He turned down another hallway. He again, came up to a door. No one knew this room existed except the leaders of the Olyhay Enmay. He shook his head and folded his hands as he walked in. He stared up at the massive glowing ball, floating there. "Dear Lord." He said, watching it shine an evil glow. It was the core for the ultimate Zoid, and that Zoid would be created when he asked Zoid Eve to do it. He lowered his head and walked back to the gate. Most people who knew about Zoid Eve would want her to help. He knew better though, he was the only one who could possibly know better.
Paul and Erik came up to the ruined city. "Unbelievable." Erik said.
"How could they cause that much destruction."? Paul said, looking around. He was the first to head towards the city, his rifle in his hands.
His father followed him, heading towards the city. "Keep the Zoids back." He said, a few men came down the rest stayed with the Zoids.
They saw nothing but smoldering ashes, a few bodies still intact but all dead.
"Not one survivor." Erik yelled. "I can't believe they didn't leave one survivor."
"There coming back." A man on top of a Zoid yelled. "There, a few miles away."
"Great." Paul yelled. "Now what."
Erik pointed towards the Zoids.
"Were fighting?" Paul asked.
"You got it." Erik said, loading his rifle.
Paul stood there, he could hear the army coming, not even wanting to see it. But he obeyed his father, and loaded his rifle as well.
They got onto a hill and started shooting. The Dibisions and Cannon Tortoises did the same. They were caught off guard, causing them to suffer massive caulsities from the surprise attack.
The Dark Keiser looked over towards the people shooting. And he smiled. "Finally a challenge." He began to get ready to fire his Zoids ultimate weapon, the charged particle cannon. As it grew he laughed and smiled, watching it fire, destroying the Zoids that were shooting.
Paul and Erik watched in horror as the beam destroyed nearly all of the Zoids. "Oh God." Erik said.
"Retreat." They heard all around, and it was the best thing to do.
Paul watched as his father fell to the ground, blood coming out the back of his left leg. "Dad" He yelled, running back towards his fallen father. He picked him up and started running back, finding a jeep they could use to get out. He ripped off a piece of his shirt and tightly wrapped it around the bullet hole in his fathers leg. He then jumped into the seat and drove off, picking up a few people who were running. Soon they were clearly out of range and he stopped the jeep. "You ok dad." He asked, looking as his piece of white shirt had become solid red from blood.
"Ill live." He said. Holding his leg in pain.
"Paul there's a village a few miles away with a doctor, we better get there." John, one of his fathers friends said.
"Yea ok, let me get it started." He got in the jeep and headed towards the city.
"What do you mean they hurt us badly." The Dark Keiser said. "They were smaller then both of those cities, how did they hurt us."
"They surprised us and well." The Dark Keiser punched the man in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"He looked at his army, it was damaged a bit, but not to much." He looked at the man he had just punched. "Get up and start moving. Were heading towards the palace." He said.
The man bowed and walked off.
