-Heart of Stone-
Chapter 2: I are Xeno!
I don't own Zoids, but I can wish!
And just for you Maelgwyn: They're just .45s, I bet all you need is a permit and they'll let you do anything. As for the phones, never been to outer space. So, I wouldn't know, Heh. And lastly, I don't really pay attention to whatever Irvine says or acts. He's just cute ;).
-Base's Hanger, Next day-
Xeno stared up at the black on gray Geno-Saurer and snorted. "I paid for that? I liked my Command Wolf a whole lot better." He turned to Raven, who was tracing his finger along the foot of his Geno- Breaker. "Where do I get one of those?" Xeno opened and closed his hands and showed his teeth. Raven rolled his eyes "You know about organoids and their power right?" "Yes" Xeno said, still mimicking the Geno-Breaker. "Well, you need one to convert your Geno-Saurer to a Geno-Breaker" "That sucks" Xeno stopped his mimicking, "When do I get to try this bad boy out?" "I don't care" Raven headed out of the hanger.
-2 hours later, test of the Geno-Saurer-
"What the Hell? It's got no CD player! Even my training zoid had one. What kind of sadistic people are you?!" Xeno pouted in the cockpit of the Geno-Saurer. "Quit your bitching" Raven popped up in his little com-link window. "You complain more than Van does, if that's possible" Irvine popped up as well. Van grumbled over the com-link. "He doesn't mean it, well, he better hope not" Raven aimed his Geno-Breaker at Irvine. "Ok, Boys and Girls, Let's get this show on the road shall we?" Xeno cleared all his com-links and readied his hands on the controls and triggers. "Time to test this baby out. Go". And the battle began.
Van made the first move towards Xeno and his Geno-Saurer. He charged at him at full-speed, only to be dodged by Xeno flying above and slammed down by the falling Zoid. Xeno lifted back up and landed next to Van's downed Liger. He shot down at the Liger with his 2 laser cannons while it stood it's self back up.
"Nice job, but try to dodge this!" Van shot at the Geno-Saurer with it's blades, shooting into the neck of the large zoid. Xeno grumbled as his zoid was knocked around. He charged at the somewhat smaller zoid and bashed heads with it, sending it 50 feet back. "Well, Y-you did g-good" Van said, via com-link and rested his head again the back of the seat. "Let me try, Van" Irvine lined up with the Geno-Saurer and fired his cannons at weak spot on the neck. Xeno winced as the zoid began to shake and rumble. He shot out his claws trying to grab the Lightning Saix, but was unsuccessful as it dodged. "To quick for you, eh?" Irvine taunted. "Not quiet" Xeno said, as he shot the Geno-Saurer into the air and landed in front of the moving zoid. The Lightning Saix and Geno-Saurer collided, causing them to tumble over. Both zoid's command systems froze upon impact.
'That was a really stupid move' Xeno thought to himself as he climbed out of the stalled zoid. Irvine jumped from the cockpit of the Saix and landed next to him. "What are you, insane?! You could have killed us BOTH!" "It looked like a good idea to me at the time" Xeno grinned. Raven's Geno- Breaker approached, followed by the Liger, both pilots jumping out. "ARGH!, I didn't even get to fight!" Raven slammed his fist against the foot of the Geno-Breaker. "It's going to OK, Raven, you'll live. Van comforted him and then turned to Xeno and Irvine. "For an insane pilot, you did pretty good". He turned around and patted Raven, (who was still smacking his zoid) on the back. Xeno turned to Irvine and raised an eyebrow. "Uhm, when are we going to get a CD player installed on this baby?" Irvine just rolled his eyes. "I think I'm going to go out and get a drink around 8:00 tonight, want to come?" "Fine, I've got nothing else to do, you're going to have to come and get me, I have no car." Xeno reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a pen and paper. "Write here you live and I'll come and get you" Irvine took the paper, scribbled his apartment address and handed it back. Xeno studied the paper. "I will see you at 8:00 then, Ok?" "Ok".
-Dusty Springs Apartments, Irvine's pad-
Xeno lent up against the side of the limousine's door and waiting for Irvine. He lit up a cigarette and took a long drag. "Smoking is bad for you" Irvine closed his apartment door and walked down the steps. "Had to put on some make up or something?" Xeno opened the door to his side and got in. "No, just wanted to at least look decent for leaving my house" He got in on the other side and shut the door. "Where to?" Xeno signaled the driver to drive ahead. "Try 'The Christmas Tree One" on second and main street. It's pretty swanky and it seems you can afford it" Irvine rubbed the leather of the seat. "Are all you people on Zi so creative?" Xeno smirked. "Don't touch." Irvine shot his hand back from the leather seat. "I've got a question for you, Xeno" Irvine rested his hands in his lap. "How does someone like you afford, better yet, find a Geno-Saurer?" "Well, I bought it off of some man calling him self "Dr.Dee" at a private auction on some asteroid. How I afford these things? That can wait". "Arg! So that's where Dr.Dee has been, pawning off zoids across the galaxy." Irvine swiped a piece of lint off his shirt. "You know this Dr.Dee fellow?" "Yeah, He's an old guy right? Bald and annoying voice?" Irvine asked him. "Yeah, he wasn't THAT annoying". "You don't know him like I do" "Apparently so". The limousine came to a halt. "We're here gentlemen" the driver called out. Xeno and Irvine climbed out of the limousine. Xeno stuck his head in the open door. "You can go to the hotel, Robert. I'll get a cab or something" and he closed it. Irvine walked to the sidewalk as the limousine drove off. "Such bright lights" Xeno said, shielding his eyes from the bright yellow, pink and green lights of the bar sign. They both walked in and took their seats at the bar. "Cowboy" Xeno called out to the bartender. "Alley Shooter" Irvine called out and rested his elbows on the bar. Both drinks arrived quite quickly. Xeno lightly picked up his glass and took a sip. While Irvine grabbed the glass and started to chug it. "You're making me sick" Xeno laid his glass back down. "It's good" Irvine laid the empty glass back on the bar and asked for another. "You're going to end up drunk if you drink like that" Xeno took another sip. "Nope, I've got a trained stomach, man. I can handle it" Irvine put his mouth to his glass. "Uh-huh".
-Several Minutes Later-
Irvine had finished his third Alley Shooter, Xeno had just finished his own drink. Irvine began to sway and rested his head on the bar. "Like I said, drunk" Xeno restated. "I'm nart drunk" Irvine slurred, his head resting on his arms. "Come on, time to go" Xeno stood up and grabbed Irvine's arm, picking him up. "That should pay for it" Xeno said to the bartender, leaving 20 dollars on the bar. "Ok,now. Let's get you out side before you vomit on my shoes." Xeno dragged Irvine out of the bar and out to the sidewalk. He lent Irvine up next to a light pole and waited for a taxi to ride by. "It was meeeee who saved this plurnet!" Irvine spat out as he rested on the light pole. "Sure you did. What'd you save this fine people from, Irvine?" Xeno walked back towards the drunken Irvine. "The pink rabbits, silliness" Irvine grinned and hung onto the light pole. "Silliness? Right." Xeno headed back to the edge of the sidewalk and whistled. A bright yellow taxi pulled up, waiting for it's passengers. Xeno sat Irvine down into the taxi and shoved him over for his own seat. "Apartment 24, Dusty Spring Apartments, thirteenth street." Xeno instructed the driver. The taxi cab chugged forward. "Ugh" Irvine lurched forward, vomiting. "Oh man. My shoes!" Xeno stared down at his now ruined shoes
-Irvine's Apartment-
Irvine plopped down on the couch and laid himself out. Xeno sat down on the end, near his feet and reached for the television controls. He grabbed them and clicked on the television. He turned it too ZNC (Zi News Channel) and listened to the anchor man jabber on about the robbery of some Quickie-Mart. He turned towards the sleeping Irvine, drooling on the couch cushion. After 20 minutes of listening to Zi's news his eyelids began to droop down and close. His head slumped back and his hand dropped the controls to the television. Mid-sleep Xeno slumped over and landed on top of the sleeping Irvine. Snuggling up against his warm body heat.
-End of Chapter 2-
I could have done the ending so much better.but it was 3:30 AM in the morning and I had to get up at 7:30AM to go to the eye doctor. I have yet to think up of any direct of where this story is going, :-P
