Book of the Phoenix
A Zoids fanfic
*Bows* greetings. I'm running out of things to say in these Author Notes… gomen.
Oh, and I should probably shove a Disclaimer in here, eh? *Sighs* very well. Behold my Disclaimer:
*Snickers* you actually think I might have ownership of Zoids?! *sweatdrops* wish I did, but I don't.
*Shudders* ugh, I feel like a suck-up or something, having to write a bloody DISCLAIMER. *Rubs arms frantically* so unclean!
Ah well.
Here's chapter 5, people. Enjoy!
PS- I should add, this chapter is going to be revised ASAP!

Chapter 5
"My head…" Rhu groaned, opening her eyes. "Where the hell am I…?" she looked around. Where ever she was, it sure was white. Sitting up, Rhu winced. A bolt of pain went up her arm. Well now I know I'm not dead- otherwise pain would be non-existent…
"It's a hospital…" she realised, discovering herself dressed in the classic hospital gown.
On her left, sat two nosily snoring figures, sprawled over several chairs. Judging by the weariness on both the Griffin's and the Falcon's faces, they'd been there for a while.
Which meant she was safe- this was a real hospital, not some Back-Draft infirmary.
Without warning, she sneezed. The abrupt action did two things: send another bolt of pain through her arm, and wake Sean.
Blearily, he opened an eye. Realising Rhu was sitting up and looking at him with her head titled, he elbowed Matt, before darting to the bedside.
"You're awake!" and he swamped her with brotherly hugs.
Matt went from sleepy to wide awake when he saw Phoenix. He too joined the hug.
Rhu was content to grin and bear it- any movement hurt her arm. Looking down at it, she nearly freaked.
The entire length of her arm was wrapped in bandage, and she could see along her forearm the outline of stitches. What the hell did I do? Then she remembered.
The Back-Draft.
The Count.
Spider.
"Do you realize you've been out of it for about 4 days?" Sean demanded, when Griffin and he finally released her.
Rhu looked startled. "But- how'd you find me?"
"We don't know all the details, but apparently some Zoid Warriors found you in the miuddle of a battle. They brought you here." Matt explained. Sean took up where he left off.
"They – the hospital – called us, saying you'd come in. O' course we came straight here. It was awful, seeing you lie here. Silent and still, like death itself. According to the doc, you had a concussion, your arm – " he pointed at it " – and had somehow managed to lose a fair amount of blood."
Rhu paled. "All I did was jump off a WhaleKing from midair…"
Bad move.
Sean and Griffin stared at her, at loss for words to say. Rhu could see the danger signs- they were about to start yelling at her for being such an idiot.
"The Back-Draft." She said hurriedly, as Falcon opened his mouth.
Sean quickly closed it at these words.
"They- they wanted me to join them. But I wouldn't. Now they want to kill me."
Both Griffin and Falcon just stared at her.
"Later." Matt finally broke the silence. "C'mon, let's get you back to the Hangar."
Rhu nodded, and with their help, she got up, ready to head for Home.
Though it wouldn't be for much longer.
But she didn't know that…
^.^ Chapter 5- it's going to be revised, as soon as all my exams are over, and I can think of something better to put in. Till then though… heh. You're stuck with this.
Anyo!
