"So pretty much what you are Saying , Doc, is that if you aren't able
to make the blueprintes, etc, there won't ever be another Lightning Saix?"
Van questioned.
"Exactly!" Doctor D shouted.
"Well at least you guys didn't loose your best friend and partner!" Irvine spoke quietly as he stood up.
"And you didn't loose your whole life's work!" The doctor cried out.
"Are you trying to tell me that's worse then loosing your partner, Old Man?"
"How about we stop arguing and talk about this like civilized people?" Van suggested. Irvine and Doctor D begrudgingly agreed.
"Now, as we all know, Raven was already unbeatable when he was playing it solo." Van continued. "But now that he has someone to watch his back, he's invincible. Our only hope at defeating the either of them is to catch one alone. This, of course, will prove difficult because Skyfeather has a fondness for using stealth technology."
"We sure found that out the hard way," Thomas muttered. "My poor Dibison!"
Ignoring Thomas, Van again went on. "We have divised a plan that should help us in our task." Pulling down a map he pointed to three arrows. "We are going to split up and go three seperate ways, patrolling all the territory we possibly can. If anyone finds Raven or Skyfeather thet are to do their best to tell whether or not both are present and alert everyone else. Understood?"
Everyone nodded. They were all determined to make this plan work. It had to work. If it didn't what did they have left to do?
"You okay Raven?" Ariana asked, worry easily showin through her facial expression.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry so much." Raven stopped for a minute and tried not to cough again, failing miserably
Ariana smiled weakly. "Yeah, sure." Raven had been having a lot of coughing fits as of late. He had been growing steadily weaker and she had noticed that on the occasion he actually coughed blood. It scared her. What if Raven was seriously sick? What if he di-no! No! No! No! No! No! She wasn't even going to think like that because it wasn't going to happen. Pure and simple. The two trudged on together back to their zoids. They had picked up some supplies at a nearby village. The walk had been almost too much for Raven. As soon as they were back a camp he nearly collapsed, pretending he didn't need to rest and was merely starting up a fire. Ariana hummed quietly to lighten the mood. She didn't like gloomy. Not one little bit.
Leaving Raven to attend the fire, Ariana and Yenti climbed into the Zaber Tiger to find the ingredients for today's inedible meal. She believed in using an open fire and not those rinky dink 'portables' everybody used. After a very few minutes Ariana heard what sounded to her like a loud cry. There it was again! Yenti appearently heard it as well. She immediatly started jumped around and making her own crying noises. It was then that Ariana realized the original cry belonged to Shadow. Ariana and Yenti made no waste of time getting down from her zoid and scurring over to where Raven and Shadow had been. What they say nearly knocked the breath out of Ariana.
Raven lay flat on his face beside the fire, his breathing slow and hard. Shadow nudged his master's side gently. What was wrong with them? It made no sense to the organoid. The girl knew exactly what had caused this.
"Oh my gosh..."
A/N: -winces- Short chappie....I'M SORRY!!!! lol It just doesn't make any sense or have as much emotion if you make it any longer. -shrugs- that's what I think anyway. PLEASE REVIEW!!!
