"Well Van, your description of the girl was by far an
understatement." Colonel Schubatlz said at length, breaking the silence of
the group.
"You can't blame me! It's not like I actually knew her. I only said what I could tell for the few minutes I had to talk to her."
Van, Fiona, Moonbay, Irvine, and the Schulbatlz brothers all stood together in the room, pondering over the events of the day.
"Raven and the girl have escaped. The units we sent out where completely destroyed. There is no word as to whether there where any survivors yet." Thomas reported to the others as the information came in.
"Colonel, I don't know about anybody else here, but it seemed to me like you knew the girl." Moonbay spoke up.
He sighed. "Know her would be overdoing it, but I have met her before. About a month ago I was stationed in a small town called Hurricane County. They where having some important Zoid experiments there that I was to over see. While I was there they caught a thief. She had an extensive criminal record. She stole mercilessly and was very trigger happy, very accurate too. Her trial was short but she hardly needed a one there was so much evidence. She would never give out her name but the locals called her Skyfeather. She was exceedingly cocky and not once acted as though her trial was of any importance. She was just there. Well low and behold when the day of her execution came she escaped. No one had seen or heard of her since, but now that she is with Raven..."
"I knew I had heard of that kid before!" Irvine cut in. "There was a girl that me and a few other people used to work with on occasion. She dabbled a bit in bounty hunting. She was really quiet and kept to herself. This girl too was called Skyfeather by a lot of people and always had a gun with her. She was never exactly anyone's favorite to work with but she was cold and got the job done reguardless. Rumor said she had an organoid with her too and that it saved her from a lot of problems."
"That organoid we saw!" Fiona shouted.
"She does have an organoid?" Irvine asked quickly.
"Yes! A gold one! It's pretty fierce looking too."
"If she was always so quiet around everyone else before, why is she so at ease around Raven?" Moonbay questioned. "It doesn't make sense."
"They have a lot in common." Van replied. "They both are dangerous and don't really care for anyone but themselves. Their personalities in that respect are almost identical, which is probably why they get along well."
They all stopped for a minute and thought on what Van had said. It was entirely possible that that was the reason.
"Does anyone know if she can pilot a zoid?" Thomas asked.
"I never saw her pilot one." Irvine replied. "She always seemed really wary around them and never talked about zoids much. But she was quick and smart when she wanted to be. I think we need to keep a close eye on her."
"I agree," Van stated. "Anyone who is willing to work with Raven and fight with him is a serious threat to Zi. And someone we must keep under close watch."
"What do you suggest we do, Colonel?" Fiona asked.
"Keep your guard up. We must find Raven and this girl and stop them before anything worse happens."
Nodding, everyone agreed that was the only thing they could do. But could they be quick enough to catch the two before anything worse happened?
