Walking alongside the old road the girl stopped, laughing wildly to
herself. That was too easy! The Military had only become weaker and weaker
since the war had ended, and it was more then working in her favor. They
hadn't even checked her for weapons! Not once through her entire trial did
they! The job of escaping was certainly easy. It was nothing more then a
simple task of bringing her pocket knife out of her back pocket, cutting
some cords, and hopping onto her organoid as she flew by. Piece of cake!
Life would be perfect if everyone was as ignorant of her ways.
As she walked along the side of the road she noticed someone ahead and forced herself to silence, lowering her head as though to appear as just a beggar. Now was her time to strike again. The boy took no notice of this peasant as she moved along the path and indirectly towards him at a rather slow pace. At just the perfect moment she knowingly, walking into the man, bumping his side rather harshly, and forcing her hand into his side pocket.
"Forgive me, kind sir! I did not see you!"
Paying no heed to her the dark haired lad walked silently away. As soon as his first step was taken the girl pulled her hand out of his pocket, pulling out a stack of money.
"Haha! Bingo!" Quickly she placed the money into her own pocket and began to walk away humming a tune, but this easiness would not last. No longer then a few steps had she taken then a great pressure was felt on her arm, pulling her upwards. Forced to stand tall and stretched out, lest she be lifted into the air. She emitted a small scream of fear, at the same time the horrific beast that had taken her applied more pressure to her arm, inflicting much pain.
Again she screamed as owner of the dark hued organoid spoke. "Shadow! What is all this about?"
The beast only growled and tightened his jaws further, threatening to break the girl's arm.
"Shadow!"
At that moment the thief gasped in horror, for it was now she took notice of who this stranger she had stolen from was.
"Raven!" she barely whispered her voice quivered with fear as she realized the severity of the situation. Quickly she thrust her left hand into her pocket, throwing the money hard into the dirt. Once the money was safely on the ground the organoid shook her vigorously before throwing her body of to the side of the road.
"Oh, so this is what it is about," he smirked as he bent down to pick up the money. "Good work, Shadow."
Before Raven could even stand their was a flash of gold, knocking him to the earth, and a horrible sound of metal clashing against metal, organoid against organoid.
Quickly the girl stood, holding her arm. "Yenti! Off!" She commanded.
At the sound of her voice the mysterious new organoid released its hold on the other and come tromping over to its beloved master of whom it had merely been trying to protect.
Standing in front of the boy she offered a hand to help him up, which he refused.
"Um..."she began. "I'm really sorry about all this..." Her voiced trailed off as he glared at her with piercing pale eyes. He thought he had seen her before, but where?
"Hey, wait!" he began. "You are that girl who escaped the execution earlier!" A thought crossed his mind as he swiftly grabbed her injured arm. "C'mon kid. I believe there is a bounty on your head I could be using about now."
Hollering in pain the girl jerked her arm back in retaliation. "And I'll be turning you in just as fast!"
Raven stood there silently. She had a point. They both had a bounty on their heads. His far greater then her own.
"Well I obviously can't leave you here to alert people of my presense."
"Raven, I revere you more then any other, more then the child Emperor Rudolph himself. I would tell no one of your presense!"
"Lies!" he harshly replied.
They both remained in silence for some time, contemplating over what to do. After what seemed like an eternity to the thief the silenced was shattered.
"Halt!" A voice shouted in the distance.
His thought shattered, Raven looked up to the noise, only in time to see enemy fire shot at them. Growling he grabbed the girl's arm. "Come on kid!"
Running off into some woods he pulled her behind him, the two organoids following like two dogs. Once they reached a clearing they stopped. There in front of her was the largest Zoid the girl had ever seen. It was Raven's Geneobraker.
Jumping into the zoid he turned to where the awed girl stood stock still. Disgusted at how she seemed to be frozen in time he shouted loudly at her "Get in, kid!"
