"Aha! I figured it out!" Ariana shouted happily as she punched in a
few keys on the keyboard in front of her and in doing so disturbed Raven
who was deep in thought. He lurched his head up, startled, but not allowing
it to show.
"Ion booster addition complete." A robotic female voice said as the two looked at the screen inside the cockpit of the Royal Zaber Fang.
"That was so easy it scares me." Ariana found herself thinking aloud.
"And it scares me that you are the one coming up with the plan for our next attack and it took you that long to figure out the code for adding the Ion boosters into your computer system." Raven said in his 'I could have figured that one out' tone of voice.
"Don't worry about that." She said swiftly. "Look here I'll show you what I have in store."
Raven moved over and stood over her shoulder, looking at the data on the small computer screen. "Alrighty, here is where we are now." Ariana pointed to a small red dot as she spoke. "And here is Hurricane County." She then pointed to a green spot. "When I was still terrorizing their city I always threatened that one day I was going to steal a zoid. Now I think it's about time I came through on my word."
"What are we going to do with a bunch of worthless zoids?" Raven asked skeptically.
"Well we aren't exactly going to steal them."
Raven caught her gaze and held it a minute. "You really need to make up your mind."
Ariana watched him a minute before continuing. Yes, it had been a while that she had been traveling with Raven and she certainly knew a lot about his mood swings but she still held a certain amount of fear towards him. She knew better then to push her limits. She knew when to quit and not rebel. Raven was top authority and it was that certain amount of fear that kept her alive. Shrugging it off Ariana continued.
"I knew we wouldn't want a bunch of worthless zoids so I planned ahead. We won't even need our zoids for this mission. What I believe will wok best is if we stalk into the city in the dead of night, attach some explosives to the few zoids remaining there and get the heck out."
Raven listened intently as he watched the details on the screen. "And where are the explosives coming from?"
Standing Ariana opened the small cargo hold in her Zaber Fang. Within were many types of small explosives. Small, but big enough to do some major damage, if not kill a smaller type zoid. "From what I remember there is nothing big in Hurrican County. Only the rich snots own zoids and it's just a few Gustavs, a helcat maybe. These should do just the trick."
Raven snickered and turned back to the computer screen. As crazy as he believed the girl to be and as whacked as her plan was it made sense and could just possibly work. As he scanned over the screen, Raven noticed there was yet another dot on the screen. A larger, blue one.
"What's that?" He questioned Ariana.
"That would be the only base within miles. It's fairly large. I heard that that's where they are trying to make the new Lightning Saix development plant. Seeing as how you completely destroyed the last one." She replied very matter of factually.
Raven smirked as he double clicked on the dot, reading all available information on the base. "I think we should stay an extra day in that area, forever rid ourselves of the bothersome Lightning Saix, if you know what I mean...."
For a while a smirk was all of Ariana's reply before she finally spoke. "I suppose it would give me a chance to try out the ion boosters, to see if they are working properly and all before we go into actual combat against someone who can actually fight."
That's the girl!" Raven slapped her on the back. In reality whether she had wanted to or not they would have attacked the base, but it is always an extra help when your comrade agrees. "It's all settled then. We'll get rid of those Zoids in your city first, so not to arouse any suspicion in the town before we strike. Then we'll put a halt to the Lightning Saix development."
Ariana nodded. Why not add a little bit of spark to a day? A halt on Lightning Saix development wouldn't hurt in the least either.
