The Arrival

FS- Hi, all! Thanks for the reviews SO much! It really means a lot that you'd pay attention to the ramblings of a thirteen year old. Shadow- Anyway, in this chapter, Raven gets a message from Fury, I play a prank on Bit, and then I raid the fridge! Raven- FS no own, you no sue.

Raven- *blah* Shadow- (blah) Liger- [blah] Fury- ~blah~

I sat on top of Liger, scouting the area. I extended my mind over the Hovercargo. I smiled at my sleeping pilots snoring, shaking his room like an earthquake. Shadow was inside Liger's core, sleeping with his tail twitching restlessly. Liger was also asleep. I was the only one awake in the Hovercargo.

~Raven!~ I sat bolt upright. *Fury? * ~Raven, I'm going to be at the Cup. Listen and don't interrupt. The Backdraft has given me an organoid and a pilot. When I see you, I probably won't be able to recognize you. The virus has taken over my core. It.. ughh. fights. Vega's coming, I have to go!~ Abruptly the mind link was cut off, leaving me with much to think about.

Bit sat sleepily in his chair, blinking. "We've arrived!" A far too perky Doc informed them.

(What genius! Of course we've arrived, I'm not blind. Even a Molga could see all the transports!) Came a grumpy voice in his head.

He yelped and leaped up. They all looked at him with quizzical expressions on their faces. "Umm.. Sorry." He muttered, sitting down. "Anyway, I found some info on the black dinosaur. "

"It appears to be an old machine called an Organoid. Machine is not really the correct term, because each specimen contained organic material. They have not existed since the great war betweens the Helics and The Guylos Empire."

(Old?! I am NOT old! I am still 16 years old.) *Please be quiet Shadow.* [Yes. Even I, a Liger, can see that you're purposely sending to Bit.] He looked around in puzzlement. Where were those voices coming from? Or was he going insane? Nahhh. Doc chattered on, unaware of the discussion going on in the hangar.

I slowly explained to Liger and Shadow that no, Fury wouldn't recognize us, yes, I was planning to have Astarael around for backup, and no, Shadow could not go waltzing into the kitchen to get something to eat.

(But Raven! I'm HUNGRY!) I sighed and flopped onto my back. We were in between Liger's ion boosters, seeing as it offered the most security. *Shadow, ever since we merged, we do not have to eat, we just like to. But if you insist, here.*

I tossed him a key to the door of the kitchen. He caught it and grinned before prancing off to the fridge.

Leena walked down the hall to the kitchen. A "click" was heard and light flooded the room. "Bit." She growled. An evil grin spread over her face as she crouched down to spring.

Shadow rummaged through the fridge, looking for a special item. He found the cookies and gripped them in his claws while he held the donuts in his mouth.

Leena peered around the edge of the counter and screeched. "Ahhhhh!"

I lifted my head in time to see Shadow come scrabbling in, donuts and cookies flying everywhere. Leena chased him, frothing at the mouth and screaming like a banshee. The rest of the Blitz Team stuck their heads in, paled visibly at the sight of Leena, and ran back to their rooms.

Doc was trying to calm Leena down. "Organoid! Why are you haunting us?" Shadow answered sarcastically. (For your information psycho, I am not haunting you. I am alive. ALIVE! Now, I must gorge on sweets. Goodbye.)

His boosters opened and he shot out of the hangar. *Shadow? * (Snorf grawl chomp.) A whirring noise was heard. [Dragon, would Leena really threaten her dad with a chainsaw?] Liger asked.

Screaming was heard. *Does that answer your question? * [Yes.]
