CHAPTER 6

RYLAN'S COMMENT: I'm sorry I haven't written anything for sometime, but had to make up some sleep for I managed to catch the midnight showing of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I EXTREMELY recommend that my readers go out and see it, for it kicks major ass! But on another note, I'm very happy to see that people are starting to review my story. This is helping me get awesome ideas for the story. Keep coming with the reviews, they really mean a lot to me. One thing I hope to do with the chapters is lengthen them a little bit, to cover more of the story and detail it as much as possible. Anyways, thank you for all of your support! ^_^

(Still during the day of the previous chapter)

The Red Blade Liger makes a loud roar from behind a large wall with a huge door in front of it. It roars, trying to get the guard's attention, to try and pass through the city. Cy on the inside complains about the long trip they've traveled. From behind the wall a black Zoid jumps over the wall and lands next to the Blade Liger. It makes a loud roar at the Zoid and makes a quick dash away from the city. The gates of the wall open up as an army of Command Wolves charge after the mysterious Zoid.

"That..Zoid.why did it look familiar?" pondered Rylan.

"YOU!!" shouted a guard from on top of the wall, "If you can capture that zoid, there will be a reward for you! NOW GO!"

"Reward!? Lets go Cy!" shouted Rylan in excitement as he turned the Blade Liger around and lead into a dash towards the direction the Command Wolves went.

Let me take control for a moment Rylan, we can catch up to him with a little technique I know! explained Cy.

"Grrrr, fine! Do it!"

With those words the Red Blade Liger stopped and charged up its back power booster. It keeps itself from moving with extreme difficulty with the booster firing a burst of energy, trying to store its power to use as a speed source. Within a few moments, the Blade Liger jumped up and opened its blades in mid air. With the power just stored, the Red Blade Liger fired the booster and went into a lightning fast glide towards the Renegade Zoid.

"WHOA!" cried Rylan as he hold onto the controls, trying to keep himself under control from all the g-force exerted on him.

In the distance, Rylan points out the Renegade Zoid and points out what kind of Zoid it is. His eyes open wide in excitement and joy as he throws a switch for the zoid to glide lower to the ground.

"It's a Shadow Fox!!" cried Rylan as the Blade Liger lands on its feet and charges at the Zoid.

"YOU!! Get away from me!!" shouted the unknown pilot in the Shadow Fox.

"Not Gonna happen!" and with those words, The Blade Liger jumps onto the Shadow Fox's back and comes to a complete stop.

The Command Wolves are still miles away, while these two Zoids battle it out. Quickly the Shadow Fox kicks the Blade Liger off it and jumps onto its feet while the Blade Liger comes to a rolling stop at the edge of the forest.

Before them, they battle in a plain field, perfect for a perfect battle. Rylan's heart beats with excitement, while the other Pilot fears for his life. Without hesitation, each Zoid charge at one another with great speed. The Shadow Fox powers up its claws as it attempts to attack with its Strike Laser Claw, while the Blade Liger charges at the Fox with its Blades charged with power.

"STRIKE LASER CLAW!!" Shouts the mysterious Pilot.

Quickly Cy sends the Blade Liger to dodge the attack and points the blade directly at the Shadow Fox and fires a few shots at the Zoid. The Shadow Fox falls from the sky and onto its side.

".Who.are you?" asked the pilot.

"Rylan.now, I'm to take you back.lets go."

"heh heh heh, you've grown up Rylan. Its been a few years hasn't it?" laughed the Pilot.

From the cockpit of the Shadow Fox, a man jumps out. He doesn't look all that old, but vaguely looks familiar to Rylan. From inside the shadow Fox, flies out a Black Organoid with wings. At the very sight of the black Organoid, Rylan knew exactly who it was.

"Raven." said Rylan quietly to himself.

The Blade Liger cockpit opens up as Rylan jumps down to greet Raven. Cy flies out from the Blade Liger and joins Rylan. Slowly Rylan walks right up to Raven, and the two stare at each other for a few moments. They embrace each other in a friendly hug, and start laughing.

"Raven, its Great to see you again!!" cried Rylan.
