=====================---------------------------==================
Irvine awoke in cell. He got up off the floor and looked around. Justin was looking through the cell door while sitting on the floor. He looked back over his shoulder and raised an eyebrow. Both were still in disguise but it was obvious that they knew who Irvine was at least.
Justin: so, how're we getting out of here?
Irvine: Well, …are there guards?
Justin: Several, including
Raven. They switch places every hour or so…there's our guard now…he's been
asleep since he got here…
Justin pointed out the door at the sleeping guard.
Irvine: Hmm…if only we could get his keys…
Justin: We can.
Justin took off his glove and then his arm (most of his forearm). Justin dropped his arm to the ground and it crawled through the bars. It then floated up and grabbed the keys. The keys were then brought back to the demon and he reattached his arm.
Justin: Keys.
Irvine: …
Irvine took the keys and unlocked the cell door. As they were sneaking out of the area, the next guard came to change shifts…The guard saw that the prisoners were escaping and sounded the alarm.
Irvine: Run!
Justin: Why?
Several guards appeared at the other end of the hallway and opened fire. Justin blocked the bullets and then he and Irvine dove out of the way.
Irvine: That's why!
Justin: Oh…
Both ran down the hall and made their way to the hanger, avoiding (and hurting) guards along the way. Justin broke the chains holding the Lightning Siax down and Irvine jumped into the zoid. Justin jumped onto the zoid's back and it took out through the hanger door. The zoid came to a halt when the Yellow Command wolf appeared with the Aeon Demon on its head.
Miles: You two aren't going anywhere.
Irvine: If you won't let us go, we'll have to blast our way out. Justin, you deal with the Aeon Demon, The Command Wolf is mine.
Justin: Got it!
Miles: HA! How is a mere human going to beat me?
Justin dramatically threw off his disguise and floated into the air. Miles seemed a bit surprised.
Miles: Chaos Demon!
Justin: The name's Justin now.
Miles: It doesn't matter; I'm willing to give you a chance…
Justin: Chance…
Miles: Join us or die!
Justin: Never, people like you sicken me. Now get out of my way or I might be forced to hurt you!
Miles: Ha! I suppose I'll have to kill you now.
Justin flew forward and slammed into Miles. They began trading punches as the Command Wolf opened fire on the Lightning Siax. Raven sat on top of the Geno Breaker with Shadow some distance away, watching the fight.
**A little later**
Justin slammed into the ground and rolled out of the way as Miles' foot hit the place where his head had been. Justin fired a charged particle blast but Miles dodged. The fight was not going well for the Chaos Demon; the Aeon Demon was blocking all his punches and kicks and avoiding all his charged particle blasts. The Aeon demon on the other hand was hitting Justin with everything he threw.
Miles: Give up. You've gone soft hanging around with the humans. I'll give you one last chance, join us or perish.
Justin: I told you before; I'd never join up with people like you.
Miles: Very well then. None of your tricks can save you so I'll just kill you!
Justin: Hold it right there.*holds out hand* There are two tricks *puts down two fingers* I haven't tried yet. Here's the first.
Justin raised his arms into the air and crossed them at the wrist. They both began to glow. The glow then spread, soon he was glowing completely and he brought down his arms.
Justin: Let's go!
Miles charged forward and attacked. For some reason, Justin as able to avoid him. Justin responded to the attack by firing a bean of golden energy at the Aeon Demon. It hit him and he was sent flying. Miles stopped himself in mid air and looked around.
Miles: Where'd he go?
Justin: Looking for me?
Miles looked up and Justin kicked him in the face. Before he began to fall, Miles Grabbed Justin's leg and threw him to the round below. He then threw as many charged particle blasts as possible at the demon.
There was an explosion, and when it cleared here was nothing but a pile of rubble where the Chaos Demon had been.
Miles: Ha! Now to go deal with the zoid…
Miles turned to leave but the rubble began to glow. The was another explosion and when it cleared, Justin was standing in the crater, still glowing.
Justin: Leaving already? Why not go express?
Justin charged up a massive energy blast and fired it at Miles. The blast hit the Aeon Demon and carried him off into the distance.
Justin: *stops glowing* I'd better go see how Irvine is doing…
Just as he was about to take off into the air, the Lightning Siax ran up.
Irvine: Let's go.
Justin: Okay…
The Chaos demon took off. Flying as fast as he could to keep up with the Lightning Siax. He grabbed onto the zoids tail and stayed like that all the way back to the base.
**Guardian Force Base**
As soon as Justin walked into the room, Rachel hit him upside the head.
Justin: What was that for?
Rachel: You had me worried. Gone for a whole day with no contact?! What happened?
Irvine: We got captured. It was like they knew we were coming.
Moonbay: Gabriel and the Aeon Demon got you?
Irvine: No, Gabriel and her little boyfriend, Raven, got us.
Van: Raven?!?
Rachel: I thought he was one of the good guys now…
Van: I can't believe he went back to his old ways…
Justin: I don't think he really did…
Rachel: What?
Justin: When he was guarding the cell Irvine and I were stuck in, I was talking to him. Something seemed wrong.
Fiona: Like what?
Justin: It was almost like he was being forced to fight on Gabriel's side…
Van: What could they do to force Raven to do anything?
Justin: I don't know…
Irvine: How long was I knocked out that I missed all of this?
Justin: All day and most of the night.
Moonbay: That would explain the blood…
Irvine: What?
Irvine scratched some dry blood off his forehead. He hadn't noticed it before…Moonbay dragged him off to get the injury looked at.
Rachel: Well, how'd the fight against the Aeon Demon go?
Justin: Not as well as it should have…next time he attacks, I'll be ready.
Rachel: I'm coming on the next mission with you; I want another shot at that Gabriel woman…
Van: I'll be coming along too; I want to know what's wrong with Raven.
Fiona: Then the first thing we have to do is find out where they'll strike next.
