Family Ties
"Sash is so funny to watch." Marion laughed exhausted from playing games with the zoid.
"Tell me about it. I could sit here all day and watch her - but unfortunately there are other things that must be accomplished." Kalian said softly picking up the bag at her feet. "Lets go. Lots to do."
"Like what Lia?" Marion asked following her friend from the hangar.
"Like getting you into some decent clothes. You look really muffled in those." Kalian said shrugging the bag onto her shoulders.
"What exactly do you have in mind?" Marion asked worried.
"Where's your room and I'll show you." Kalian offered.
"This way." Marion said leading the way to the temporary rooms they had been allocated.

"So this girl Kalian is here to see me?" Colonel Kreugar asked his comrade- in-arms Colonel Herman.
"Yes sir. That is what Major O'Connel told me. He had gone to bring her back from visiting her zoid." Colonel Herman said calmly his sea green eyes snapping with excitement.
"I don't believe I've ever met a girl called Kalian before." Colonel Kreugar wondered aloud.
"She claims that she's never met you sir." Major O'Connel said a worried frown marring his features.
"Where is she?" Colonel Herman said peering around Major O'Connel as if she was hiding behind him.
"The officers on duty claim she left the hangar with Empress Marion. She also had a bag that she hadn't had before." Major O'Connel replied guiltily.
"And the relevance of that is?" Colonel Kreugar asked his pale-faced counterpart.
"Do you know where the Imperial rooms are?" Colonel Herman asked Colonel Kreugar.
"Yes. I'll show you them." Colonel Kreugar said his brow furrowing in confusion.

"Lia. These are so comfortable. But I'm not sure I should wear them." Marion said discomforted. Kalian glanced critically over Marion's slender frame. She wore stylish black pants, a silken purple shirt and black and purple sandshoes.
"You look fine. Few would recognise you as the beloved Empress." Kalian said with a shrug turning her attention back to her hair.
"That's the point. I must look like the rank I hold." Marion said eyes widened in panic.
"Calm down Marion. The reason why you look like this is so that the assassins do not recognise you." Kalian said quickly entering the shower and ridding herself of the towel.
"There wouldn't be any on board the Ultrasaurus." Marion said firmly.
"If it truly is the Falnayris cult behind this then yes there undoubtedly would be." Kalian said just as firmly.
"But how would they get on board?" Marion said irritated by her friend's caution.
"Easily. They are trained to fit into any situation. Even taking on identities of already present crew members is a possibility." Kalian said irritated by the constant questions of her actions.
"How. They'd have to know how they acted and stuff." Marion said confused.
"They spend months stalking the movements of the persons they will impersonate. They get to know basically everything about them. What they eat, who there family is, who they like and who they hate. Members of the cult are also very skilled at making themselves look exactly like their victim." Kalian said with a shrug wrapping the towel around her and leaving the shower. Marion politely turned around as Kalian began to dress herself.
"So. What you are saying is that I have to act differently as well." Marion said flatly.
"No. You'll just have to fit in with what I'm doing. Act your normal self. Your going to find it pretty hard trying to defend yourself in skirts." Kalian answered towelling her hair dry.
"Defending myself?" Marion asked confused.
"Yep. I'm going to be teaching rudimentary self-defence. My way." Kalian said smiling as she began to brush her hair vigorously.
"You are going to teach me how to fight? Kalian that is wrong." Marion said turning around in shock. She watched as Kalian swiftly braided her hair. Her flared black pants fitted her slender form perfectly. The silken blue shirt also fitted her form perfectly. Black boots and blue belt completed the outfit. There were interesting patterns on her pants. Marion hasped in shock when she saw Kalian's hair properly.
"What'd you do to your hair?" she cried.
"Dyed it." Kalian said with a shrug admiring her handiwork. The blue braids of her ponytail matched her shirt, belt and eyes perfectly.
"Kalian. How could you?" Marion whined.
**************
"Major O'Connel. Colonel Herman. Colonel Kreugar. What a surprise to see you. May I help you?" Emperor Rudolf said when they had been ushered into the room.
"Yes. Is Miss Kalian here?" Major O'Connel asked anxiously noting the furious look on his commanding officer's face.
"Hi Major O'Connel. Is there a problem?" Kalian asked eyes widened to their fullest extent.
"Not really. You wanted to see Colonel Kreugar?" Major O'Connel said ignoring the dangerous look in his commanding officers eyes.
"Yes." Kalian said with interest. "Where is he?"
"Right.Colonel Kreugar?" Major O'Connel gasped kneeling by the fallen man.
"Colonel Kreugar are you alright?" Colonel Herman asked him.
"He's fainted." Van Flyheit said flatly. "Why would he faint looking at you?"
"Her hair probably." Marion said sulkily. Kalian just rolled her eyes at Marion and went over to peer at the man her mother had sent her to see.
"Calista?" Colonel Kreugar said faintly looking up into a familiar pair of blue eyes.
"No. I'm Kalian. Her daughter." Kalian said quietly looking at him.
Here. The third chapters finished. Tell me what you think.
BTW- I do not own Zoids. ^_^
