A/N:Ohh! Writer's block again! FUN!!! -snickers- you better believe it.

Two zoids stood alone amongst the ashes and flames that was once a great base. They themselves a little beat up and easily fixed. Raven and Ariana's mission had been successful. The base was completely destroyed, as had all the zoids that where there and all information on the building and creation of the Lightning Saix.

"Come on kid, let's get out of here before they send out help." Raven said after a long time, breaking the silence between them.

"Roger that." Ariana turned her Zaber Tiger around to follow the Geno Breaker. Yenti departed from the Zaber Tiger and joined Shadow, flying over top of the two zoids. Ariana had gotten nervous during the battle and had gotten Yenti to fuse with her zoid. Raven had not needed Shadow for this round, but allowed the organoid to have at a few rev raptors to keep peace between them. Everyone was very content with their day's work, and yet also uneasy. They always where after a battle. You never know when to be ready. Re enforcements could be sent out at any time. But what was there to worry about? Anyone sent after the two criminals would be destroyed as well.



"Kid! You really need to get working on those repairs!" Raven shouted out.

Ariana groaned and looked to her Zaber Tiger. It wasn't that beat up, just a few minor damages on the outside surface. Raven worried too much. "I'll get it later."

"Fine, but you can blame yourself when you get killed during a battle."

Again, Ariana groaned but walked off to get her tools mumbling, "I ain't gonna get killed."

Raven grinned as he walked back to the Geno Breaker to do his own repairs; it was about time that girl worked on her zoid. She had been putting it off for nigh two weeks!



Filled with a certain amount of pride Raven jumped down from the Geno Breaker. Another job well done. With a fresh coat of paint drying the Geno Breaker was looking pretty darn nice.

As he walked past the Zaber Tiger something shiny caught Raven's eye. Stepping back for further inspection he recognized the shiny thing that he had seen as nothing more then the componets from inside the Zaber Tiger showing; from where the metal covering had been ripped off by a falling beam the earlier day. Nothing more, nothing less. Wait...Oh that girl was really gonna get it! And where the heck was she? Obviously she had not done any work on her zoid.

It didn't take Raven long before he found Ariana sleeping in the shade of a tree, Yenti happily resting near her head, which was quite typical. Fine, he was just going to wake her up, but maybe with the help of some freezing water.

Raven sprinted back to camp and got a small bucket which he dipped in a nearby stream. As carefully as he possibly could Raven turned and snuck back to the tree where Ariana was asleep, but when he arrived there Ariana was no where to be found.

"What in the...?" Raven asked himself. There was no way she could have waken up and walked away, he would have heard her for sure.

"Planning on doing something with that water?" Raven heard the voice, followed by a clicking noise and the feeling of cold metal against the side of his head. Quickly he turned his arm back and grabbed the arm from the person who had spoken. Using a few quick manuvers he pulled the person to in front of him. It was none other then Ariana, holding her beloved Silenced PP7 and smiling innocently before him.

"You witch!" Moving his arm up Raven hit pressure point on the girl's arm. She stretch out her hand and dropped the gun.

"So, what exactly where you planning on doing with that water?" Ariana at last questioned.

"And what where you thinking when you decided to not work on your zoid?"

"I was thinking about taking a nap."

"I'm serious here," Raven spoke as he released his hold on Ariana's arm.

"I am being serious!"

Raven sighed. "Fine. But now you have had your nap and now your Zaber Tiger demands your attention. Go do those repairs now!"

Ariana smirked and bowed mockingly, "To hear is to obey."

Raven followed after her and stood back while Ariana worked on her zoid, correcting here when a mistake was made and altogether just making sure she actually did finish up the job this time, and she did.



A/N: I just figured it might be smart to tell you at what point in time this story takes place. It is after Hiltz decided to be a dumby and try to destroy the world. However, I am playing with the story a bit and this is written as though Reese was never at New Helic City with Raven at the time it was destroyed. Okay? Good.
