Chapter 9
Shifting of Power
Robert watched as the remains of the Dark Kaisers army marched through his land, conquering everything they saw. "Prime Minister, destroy that weapon you said we created."
"Sir we can use it."
"Now!" Robert cut him off. "I'm not going to fight anymore, its time me take are defeat." He walked out of his main chamber and down towards the main floor.
The Prime Minister walked over and contacted the men controlling the weapon. "Destroy that weapon now."
"Yes sir." One of them replied.
He took a deep breath and waited for what was about to come.
Alisi stared out as the Dibision moved along. The sun was coming up and that night of Hell was over, but the lives lost weren't coming back. She saw the same thing everywhere she went. Cities destroyed and people dead. Her race was slowly dying away and there wasn't anything she could do. She jutted forward as the Dibision stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong?" She asked. But it didn't take long for her to see it herself. The Palace City was nearly destroyed, and there main power lay in ruins. She jumped out of the cockpit, staring at the destruction. She watched as the white Organoid walked besides her. She shook her head, knowing this was it. The Organoid suddenly jumped in front of her. "What is it?" She asked, smiling for the first time all night.
The Organoid gave a small roar.
Alisi understood it perfectly. "Why, where do you want to take me?" Again the Organoid growled. "Why to Jahalla." She knew who he was, he was the leader of the Olyhay Enmay, but didn't know why the Organoid wanted to take her there. But she listened and finally agreed. Right then the Organoid opened up and wrapped the little girl, bringing her into him then shooting up into the air flying over to it's masters.
Jahalla and Jaspo sat there on the balcony trying to come up with a new idea and fast. They watched as more and more troops filled the area. "Didn't Ange get rid of all these troops?" Jaspo said, thinking at the same time.
"They still had some around." He was looking around, watching as the white Organoid was coming back. "Noir is back." He said.
Jaspo looked. "But that doesn't help us any."
"No, it doesn't." They both waited for the Organoid to come up to them, but when it did they were surprised to see it was carrying a little girl. "What is this Noir?" Jahalla asked.
"He brought me here because that man killed my home and family, and every other Zodian." Alisi said, her eyes watering.
"A Zodian." Jaspo looked over at Jahalla. "They killed every Zodian."
Jahalla helped the girl up. "What's your name my dear?"
"Alisi Lynnett." She said, softly.
All three heard a massive bang. "Great they got through." Jaspo said, watching as the Clan armies broke into the main city.
"We have to close the gate to Zoid Eve now Jaspo." He said. "Noir watch Alisi." The Organoid nodded and they both ran off.
Alisi looked around the room saw many books and a few pictures but not much else.
"Jahalla, did you notice how that girl."
"Yes." Jahalla replied before Jaspo finished the question.
"What does it mean though?"
"I don't know, but it can not be anything good." They arrived at the gate and again Jahalla said the ancient chant, watching as the gate to Zoid Eve slowly closed. "I can't hold on to this power."
Jaspo looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"These people will kill me meaning we will never get to Zoid Eve again. I have to give this power to someone else."
"Ok I can understand that but who and how?"
"How, they have to swallow my blood."
"Good God, are you serious."
"Very, I had to do the same. Not something you would want to do."
"But even if we gave someone else that power they would be killed as well."
"No, remember the pods that we found a few years ago, meant to support Organoids."
Jaspo nodded. "Yes."
"Maybe we can put a human in one, keeping them alive until someone breaks them out."
"I know where they are, nobody will find them unless they are." Jahalla grabbed his friend by the neck.
"And what choice do you think we have." He said, his voice becoming much more angry.
"Ok ok, I guess your right. But who do we use."
Jahalla thought for a moment. "That girl, Alisi."
"Are you crazy, we don't know anything about her and we are trusting the greatest power on Zi to her."
"She's young, seems kind, and seems willing to help others. She has no home, she has no family, and she has no chance for a life any more. I want to give her a second chance, we can do two very good things at once.
"You act like you known her all of your life."
"Maybe I am, but unless you can get a better person within the next hour we use her, understand."
Jaspo nodded. "Ok, what do we need to do?"
"Lets go." He headed back out of the Catacombs, Jaspo following him. But got stopped by two people. "Great." Jahalla said.
They saw Ange and another man they didn't see before.
"Hello again Jahalla." Ange said smiling. "I want you to meet my friend here, Rao."
"Get out of the way Ange." Jaspo said, but then noticed something. "Where's the Death Sauer."
They watched as she lost her smile. "It is temporally inoperable, but don't worry we will have it back soon."
"It was destroyed." Jahalla laughed. "Who destroyed?"
"A very dead man." She said, her usually sweet voice now dark.
Jahalla stood there. "Will you let us through Ange." But he watched as Jaspo charged them, knocking both of them on the ground.
"Lets go Jahalla." They both ran, locking every door they could on the way back up the room. When they reached it they saw the girl and the Organoid on the floor.
"Get the Organoid, ill get the girl." Jahalla ordered.
Jaspo nodded. "What happened here, how did they get like this?" But he watched as the Organoid slowly woke up. "Noir follow us."
The Organoid agreed, following the two men back down the stairs. They had finally reached the outside, the sun was fully up but the Clan troops had done the damage to the city. They found a jeep and took off.
"This is going to take a while, the Temple is a few hours away." Jahalla said.
They drove through the forest, which their mighty city had stood for years, arriving to the desert where men who didn't want to be found lived. The sun was starting to set, and the young girl still asleep, moving away from the chaos of reality. Finally they reached the Temple. Jaspo picked the girl up in his arms and carried her through the maze of tunnels, finally arriving to the two green pods found years ago, which had harbored Organoids for generations. Jaspo laid the girl on the ground.
"Hand me your knife." Jahalla said, looking at the young girl who looked very much like the demon they had created.
Jaspo obeyed his friend. "This is the only way. She has to drink your blood."
Jahalla nodded. "Unless she was my child, yes. They need to have the blood flowing through them. When they do they have to power to communicate with Zoid Eve. Life her head and open her mouth."
Jaspo did what he was told. The thought of someone drinking another mans blood mad him fell ill but if it had to be done then it had to be done. He put his hand under the girl's head, lifting it up gently. Then he opened her mouth watching as Jahalla moved his wrist over.
Jahalla slit his wrist, letting the blood pour into the girl's mouth. He then moved it away after a few moments, putting his hand over the cut. He watched as the girl began to feel aggravated and began mumbling in her sleep. He watched as Jaspo got worried. "Relax, its natural." He walked out. "Jaspo, I need you to go up and get the oil for the jeep."
He looked at him. "Why?"
"I need to burn myself, keep anybody else from drinking my blood."
Jaspo stared at him in horror. "You can still live, go and hide."
"Ill be dead soon anyways with this cut in my wrist. At least I can make sure nobody else has the ability to open the gate to Zoid Eve."
Jaspo nodded, looked down at the girl and ran towards the jeep. He returned a few minutes later, holding a canister of oil.
"Alright, pour it over my clothes. Hurry up."
Again Jaspo did what he was told. "What do you want me to do?"
"Put her in the pod, then make sure nobody opens them as long as your alive, understand."
Jaspo nodded and watched his friend walk out of the room, a few drops of oil and blood falling off of him as he left. He looked down at the girl, still having a nightmare of some type. He picked her up and began setting the pod up. When he was done he sealed it. He then looked at the Organoid. "Get in the other pod Noir, you're going to need to protect her when she wakes up." He watched as the Organoid did as it was told. And again he sealed the pod. Looking at the pod holding Alisi he smiled. "Good luck, you will need it." Walking out he saw the chare black remains of his old friend. He wouldn't follow his last request, he had something much more important to deal with.
