The Zoids Continuum: Fusion Organoids
Chapter II-Capture
Canori Phillips looked into the distance. She had a very unsettled feeling. That was when she saw two black dots bobbing in the distance. "Imperial Zoids." She whispered. She ran to her daughter, Lorina, who was drawing a picture of her dream zoid: a white Liger-type zoid with red screws. Canori wondered why there were no blades. "Lorina, dear, get on your hoverboard and tell Citri, Ambient and Crow that there are some Imperial zoids coming their way." Canori said calmly. Lorina put down her pencil and got up. "Okay. I finished my drawing anyway." She said. Lorina ran to her hoverboard and jumped on, wrapping the safety line around her wrist as she went. Lorina knew this was important, she had heard the note of urgency under her mother's calmness. She sped on, the speed of her hoverboard throwing waves of sand to her right and left.
Citri was gazing at the horizon when twenty-one dots appeared. One closer, the other twenty farther away. Crow and Ambient had spotted them too. The dots got bigger and they could discern Lorina on her hoverboard. Then she came skidding into camp without even glancing at Citri's Blade Liger, which she worshipped.
"Mom said to tell you that some Imperial zoids are coming your way." She said. Citri's teeth clenched. Crow sighed and Ambient growled.
"Do we fight?" Crow asked.
"We can't keep running away. We've got to fight sometime, so it might as well be now." Ambient said.
"But Alaya..." Citri said.
"Do you want her to spend her life running?" Ambient asked, tears starting in his eyes.
"No...but...." Citri whispered. Neither Ambient nor Crow answered her. Citri walked to where Alaya was sitting in the sand, oblivious to all around her.
"Alaya?" Citri said. Alaya looked up, her plain brown eyes holding a tint of what was to come. Places in her hair-- it had grown long--were lighter than the rest.
"Mommy, I make castle!" she shrieked happily. Tears started to trickle down Citri's cheeks. "Why Mommy sad?"
"Mommy has to go away for a while. Lika and Brian will take care of you." Citri said.
"'Lya go with Mommy!" Alaya said, clapping her hands. Citri turned away and Lika picked up Alaya. Slowly, Citri walked back to her husband and friend, silently turning around. Solemnly they jumped into their zoids and their organoids shot out and back in their zoids in unison. Crow's Sword Stormer was up in the air and both Liger and Zaber roared in challenge.
"Get Alaya out of here." Citri said with her outside speakers. Then they ran off. Lika put Alaya in the back seat of her Lighting Saix and they ran in the opposite direction, not to see Citri, Ambient or Crow for six more years.
Citri, Ambient and Crow sped on to meet the oncoming Imperial zoids. "I'm going on ahead to check it all out." Crow said and put all his boosters on. Then he was gone off the screens. The battle was starting. Ambient's Zaber Fang snarled, and the Blade Liger copied her. Both were uneasy because of their master's unease. Then Crow was above them. "Two units, being closely followed by a third." He said dangerously. Citri knew that tone; he had not used it for 13 years. But she could see the cockpit of his zoid start to glow purple.
"Crow! Save it! You'll need your energy!" Ambient shouted. The glow died down. "But thirty zoids? We're outnumbered 10 to 1!"
"Then we better fight good." Citri said grimly. They charged on ahead. Far from the knowledge of anyone but General Conor, an ambush was waiting for the three friends; the three zoid units were only a distraction. He made sure they would catch the transform organoids this time.

not the best, I know. I'm not particularly proud of this one, not like Transform Organoids. Partly because there's no romance.
