True Desires
Drake stared at the demon, looking into his dark blue eyes, feeling his power spread throughout the fortress. He looked over, the bloodied body of Tyko laid there. Over near a table were Jade's and Jeff's mutilated remains, killed by the same monster which stood in front of him trying to pierce his mind and soul.
"You disappoint me Drake." Jason walked over to the man at least twice his size. "I let you live and you turn your back on me."
"Why don't you just die Jason, just rot away in some dark corner and take your dreams with you." Drake was angry, but wasn't stupid enough to challenge Jason.
Jason shook his head and gave a small laugh. "I will die eventually, but it will be long after you." He turned around, looking at the black GenoBreaker. "Very nice Zoid Drake, I see you and Anubis have been working well together."
Drake didn't say a thing. He just waited and listened.
"Drake, Ill give you another chance to work with me. If you take it the power you wanted will be yours, if you don't you'll simply die away like the rest of the pathetic souls." He looked back at his Organoid. "Come Phantom, we have one more thing to do."
Drake watched as both of them walked out, he slammed a fist into the wall. "Damn him." He yelled, looking at him. He looked around, staring at the three dead bodies. He had nothing left, and Jason had gotten into his mind again. "Anubis, lets go." He watched as his blue Organoid merged with the GenoBreaker. Drake got in the cockpit and put his head down. Again Jason had won again. But Drake knew he always won.
Moonbay finally woke up, her head was sore and she had a feeling of dizziness. She looked around, Raven was gone, and so was the gray Organoid that had hit her twice. And that strange boy was gone as well. She rubbed her hand through her hair, looking down she saw a dried puddle of blood. She felt cold and lonely for some reason. She didn't even bother cleaning up the camp, she just got in her Gustav and took off away from that spot as fast as she could, not looking back.
Jason stared at the white Zoid, its tyrannosaur look made it a frightful sight. And its power was something even deadlier. "This is the Zoid you believe would suit Raven best." He said looking at his Organoid. "Very good choice Phantom." He walked up to it and put his hand on the mighty Zoid. "The Berserk Fury." He said, closing his eyes. "Did you hear that Raven, your new Zoid is waiting for you." Jason opened his eyes and looked at the Zoid again. "Something even more powerful then the Death Sauer." He smiled. "And something that can even put up a fight against the Tiger." He loved playing with peoples lives, it always made an interesting game. He looked back up, the eyes of the Fury lit the dark ruins. "An Ultimate-X, two Organoids in one Zoid Phantom, imagine the power it will hold." He started to laugh. "It almost makes me feel sorry for the poor souls that have to fight it." He turned and sat down, wandering with his mind, searching for Raven, ready to ruin his life.
Van looked out at the rising sun, he had a pretty good night of sleep considering what was racing through his mind. Fiona wasn't up yet, and Zeke was outside, staring up at the clear sky. It was quiet, he was at a small cabin on the outside of the Imperial Capital, doing exactly what Kruger had told him to do. He picked up a piece of bread and tore a piece of it off. He bit it and swallowed it, looking over at Fiona.
Jason opened his eyes and smiled. He didn't find Raven, but he saw someone else he knew fairly well. "I found Alice Phantom, she seems to be sleeping." He watched as his Organoid started growling. "Why not." He closed his eyes again, ready to do what he did best.
Fiona woke up, listening to a voice. She looked around and noticed she was no longer in the small cabin with Van and Zeke. She got up, not knowing what was going on or where she was. Fiona looked around, it seemed to be a cave or something similar. She saw a hole in the ground and walked over to it. She kept hearing a soft, haunting voice. It couldn't be made out, and she couldn't tell where it was coming from. Fiona felt a chill run down her spine, the smell of rotting corpses filled the air, and the feeling fear filled her mind. She wanted to stop moving on, but she couldn't. Her legs continued to move on, her mind and body curious to what was in that pit. Fiona felt as her heart picked up pace, and her body slowly going numb. Finally she reached the pit, she wanted to close her eyes and run but she couldn't. Looking down she saw water, it was dyed a blood-red color, and in that water she watched a two dark red eyes stared at her, not moving or blinking, they just stared at her. Fiona finally felt herself gain control of her body. She turned and ran, not knowing why she just ran. She stopped though, a puddle of water seemed to glow. Fiona walked over to it, looking down she could see a battle taking place. She looked and saw the familiar Blade Liger along with a Zoid she had never seen before. It was white and was similar to e GenoSauer except this had two claw-like things coming out of its back. She watched as the battle went on, and watching as the Blade Liger slowly began to lose. Finally she watched as a charged particle cannon ripped through the cockpit of the Blade Liger. The imaged vanished, and the small puddle shook as the impact of her tears landed in it. Fiona put her hand in the cold water and cupped it. She picked some of the water out of the puddle and looked at it, hearing it slowly drip on the stone floor. "Van" She said softly. She heard someone coming up behind her, her eyes widen as she slowly turned her head. Fiona saw herself staring at Van, his skin seemed pale and his eyes dull.
"You betrayed me Fiona, you betrayed all of us."
Fiona looked at him, her jaw dropped from shock and her mind riddled with confusion. "But I didn't." She said, feeling her heart beating even faster now.
"Its all over now Fiona, all of us are dead because you betrayed us."
She watched as Van slowly walked up to him.
"All of us are dead." He grabbed her shoulders and started to shake her. "Why did you kill us."
Fiona was crying, not understanding a thing that was happening. She felt Van let go of her. "I wouldn't kill you." She said, her sobbing voice made it hard to understand. She looked over at the pit, it was starting to boil.
"Then why did you kill me, why did you kill Irvine and Thomas and everyone else Fiona. Why."
Fiona didn't know what to say, she didn't know what was happening. She watched as the red eyes she had seen deep in the pit slowly started to rise out of it.
"We could have been happy together Fiona, why didn't you want that."
She was feeling sick to her stomach, the yelling from Van and the smell of dead bodies, and the rising of that evil site took a toll on her.
"I thought you loved me Fiona, but you didn't. You betrayed me, and you killed me."
Fiona stared at the orange Zoid rising from the pit, its orange body with black stripes streaking across its back gave it a powerful look, but the entire Zoid was something evil and dark.
"You created that Fiona, you created it to kill me. And you did kill me Fiona, along with everyone else."
She got up and ran, she didn't know where to all she wanted to do was run, but she tripped over a rock a few moments later. Fiona got up, but saw her self in a mirror. Then she quickly noticed it wasn't a mirror, it was just her in another body. She felt scared again, she turned around and saw Van and that Zoid standing behind her. She looked back at the girl standing in front of her. The only difference was the color of the eyes, the girls were a cool blue. But other then that, it looked exactly like Fiona. "Who are you?" Fiona said, her body dirty, her face wet, and her eyes red from tears. She looked at the girl, smiling at her, the exact same way Fiona smiled.
"We did it Fiona, we killed them all."
Fiona stared at the girl, who was just smiling at her.
"There all gone, we did it."
Fiona was confused and sick, she couldn't understand a thing that was happening.
"We don't have to worry about anyone hurting each other again. Just like you wanted."
Fiona finally found her voice, as well as the courage to speak again. "I don't want Van to die, I don't want anyone to die."
"Yes you do, you want him to be at peace. You want everyone to be at peace." The mirror image said, pointing up at the powerful Zoid. "The Tiger helped us, just like you said it would."
"I don't want anyone to die." She said, her tears coming back to her, she put her face in her hands, falling down to the floor crying like she as if she had never cried before.
Jason opened his eyes and smiled. "That should do it Phantom." He gave her a nightmare she wouldn't soon forget. He got up and looked at the Fury, the powerful Zoid that would soon be in Raven's dangerous hands. "Lets go Phantom." He said, jumping into the cockpit of the Berserk Fury.
Fiona looked up at the wooden roof, she found herself sweating and panting. She turned over and saw Van with his hand on her shoulder. Fiona moved away in fear, but realized she only had a terrible nightmare.
"Are you alright Fiona?" Van said. "You must have been having a nasty dream." He said smiling, trying to cheer her up.
Fiona just nodded. "I don't know what it was." She got out of bed and walked away.
Van stared at her, he had never seen her so shaken up by a nightmare before. If that's what she had. He decided not to talk about it with her though.
Van cooked breakfast for both of them, trying to cheer Fiona up. They both sat down and slowly ate.
"Van." She said softly.
"Yea Fiona."
"Do you think I would hurt you?" Again she said with a soft and nervous tone.
Van smiled. "Doubt it, why is that what your dream was about."
Fiona didn't say anything.
"Look Fiona, it was just a dream ok, don't worry about it." But he saw it wasn't helping her any. Van didn't know what to do, he was having a hard time understanding how a dream could put Fiona down like this. He looked out the window, staring at Zeke who was still standing out there, looking up into the bright sky.
Raven looked down at the two granite colored gravestones, reading what each said. Both belonged to his parents, and this was only the second time he had ever been to them. He felt the cool mountain air against his skin, and his hair moving gently in the breeze. He kneeled down, rubbing his fingers along the carved words, wiping a few drops of rain that had fallen into them. "Soon we can be together again." He looked down at the ground, the grass soft and green with a few flowers blooming around. He then looked at the sky, gray clouds covered the sky, the ice-cold rain that slowly fell mixed with the chilly air made the day miserable. But Raven didn't care. He stood up, turning his head to Ryss. "Jason told me to kill Van and everyone he cared for."
Ryss nodded. "I know."
Raven walked up to her slowly and stared Ryss in the eyes. "Even if it's a person I have some care for."
Ryss widened her eyes as he said that. "What do you mean?"
Raven gave that small smirk, thrusting his hands around her neck. "It means Ill have to start with you Ryss." He looked over as Specula began to hiss at him, but Shadow quickly shut the light blue Organoid up, hitting across its head with his tail. Raven looked back down at the blue haired girl. "Ryss you have no idea what my life has been like." Raven listened as Ryss tried gasping for air. "Don't fight it Ryss, just die. I don't want to see you suffer." He waited, watching as her eyes slowly rolled back. Raven listened as Ryss gave her last gasp of air, and he gently put her on the ground. "Sorry Ryss, but I want my family back." Raven listened as the sounds of a man clapping came. He turned, and not to his surprise he saw Jason standing on top of a gravestone, looking back at Raven.
Jason smiled. "Very good Raven, I wasn't sure if you could kill Ryss."
"I'm keeping my end of the deal, you have better keep yours." Raven said. "Shadow come."
"I always do Raven, and just as you showed me, Ill show you." Jason jumped off of the gravestone and walked down a hill.
Raven followed him, Shadow staying closely behind. He looked down to where Jason was pointing and saw a kind of Zoid he had never seen before.
"The Berserk Fury, something that can make any Zoid you have had before seem obsolete. The Zodians made it years ago to combat the deadliest of all Zoids." He paused for a moment. "But it had been stopped already before it was complete. You see it already has an Organoid permanently fused with it, so when Shadow joins in it. Well." He backed away.
"And this is more powerful then the GenoBreaker." He looked for Jason, but he was gone. Raven smiled as he walked up to the Fury. He turned his head to Shadow. "This is it Shadow, are last chance." He got into the cockpit, and looked back up the hill, seeing Ryss and Specula lying there, no life left in their bodies. He would miss Ryss, but for her death he would get a second shot to be with his parents, and he would kill anybody for that.
