Chapter 3

Peace Returns

   Robert, watching as his small army pulled away from his palace, heading towards the Dark Keiser's army hoping to intercept it before it could reach the main city of Zi. He turned to his Prime Minister. "What village took out some of their troops?" He asked.

   "Not sure, I can find out if you want."

   Robert shook his head. "Do it they deserve something." He heard a shot fire off in the distance, and then another. It had begun, what he feared most of all in his life. Soon it was apparent that this battle would last a while. "Hopefully we can hold this off." He walked over to his seat, looking around empty room. He folded his hands together and waited for the firing to stop.

   Alisi and Ryss heard the shots being fired. "What's happening?" Alisi asked, the sky filled with the sounds of massive bangs.

   "Sounds like there fighting real close." Ryss said. "Lets go see it."

   She stood there thinking for a second, and decided that it was ok. "Do you know how far it is?" She asked Ryss.

   "Should be 10 miles at the most, but we should stay away from it." Ryss replied.

   They both walked a bit, running when the ground was flat. The desert sand was hot, but they didn't mind too much. As time went on they heard less and less booms in the air, meaning the battle was slowly dying down.

   "There." Ryss yelled.

   Alisi looked at the battle, watching as Zoids either fell or split in half. She watched with fear going all through out her body. "It's awful." She said.

   "Yea it is, but it looks like were winning." She said, watching as the only Zoids the Zodians used in the army outnumbered the Rev Raptors and Sabertiger's. The Zodian Command Wolves were forcing the Dark Keiser's troops to slowly pull away. "I think they did it Alisi." Ryss said happily

   Alisi smiled. "Good." She looked behind them and saw a few Dibisions coming. "My dads back." She said, running back towards the village. Ryss followed her quickly. They got back to the village a lot faster then when they left. They both saw Rao standing there, calling Alisi and Ryss over.

   "What is it Rao?" Ryss asked, trying to catch her breath.

   "They got in a fight, a lot of people got killed because of it." He said, watching as Alisi lowered her head. "Relax Alisi, you dad and brother are way to good to die to those guys." He said, trying to cheer her up.

   She finally saw Paul come out, but her father was nowhere. She ran over to Paul. "Where's dad?" She asked.

   Paul looked at her. "He's alive, but." He pointed back towards a jeep, watching his father jump out, without a leg.

   She gasped, looking at her father as he smiled back at her.

   "They had to amputate his leg, he was shot to badly in his leg for him to use it again." Paul said.

   "Hey Alisi." He said, walking over to her on his crutches. "Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks." He said, trying to help her cheer up a little. "Where's you mother."

   "At the house." She said, staring at his missing leg. She couldn't believe that had happened, but she was glad he was alive, along with Paul. She hugged them both and helped Erik to the house. Janice stood there, nearly dropping Shay when she saw his leg missing. He calmed her down, just like he had done with her. Paul came over and took Alisi outside.

   "You ok?" He asked.

   "Why?" She replied to him.

   "Well, you seem kind of out of it. Just wanted to make sure your ok."

   She smiled. "Yea, I'm ok."

   There were many rumors going around that the Dark Keiser was killed during the battle, they all hoped so. It wasn't a long fight, but it had done the damage. 28 people were killed from Alisi's village, and it put a dark image in her mind about how deadly people can be. It was like most fights that would break out, it would last for 2 weeks like this one had and just die because of a stupid mistake made by the leader. Everyone was glad it was over, they loved the fact that the Dark Keiser was dead, and hopefully no one would take his place.

   Jahalla clapped his hands together when he heard the news. The Dark Keiser was dead, and there was no need for Zoid Eve to be used, or the core they had been creating. He watched as a few other people celebrated with him, but a few others didn't. He knew why they didn't. They wanted Zoid Eve to be used, they wanted the planet to fall under there control. He hated people like that but there was nothing he could do. He was the only living soul who could open the gate, and as long as that was true, they could never get what they wanted. He said a quick prayer in front of the statue of Zoid Eve, and kissed the feet of the statue, thanking it for allowing him to never need to use it.

 Authors Notes: I really rushed these 3 chapters, trying to get them out of the way, so if they seem pretty lousy that's why. The rest on this story will be much better, that I can promise.
