Kel. We do need rendezvous with Flame and Leaf's unit. Sometime this century Swift said acidly.
? Oh. Right Kel pulled away from Irvine reluctantly.
"Much as I'd like to continue I can't. I gotta go. Work." Kel sighed pulling a face.
"Quit?" Irvine asked mischievously.
"Err. No. I have to save your friend's butts and how can I do that if I quit? I'd probably be murdered if I did anyway. I'm the leader - I quit nothing's gonna hold them together." Kel said quietly. " I'll be back. Never fear. Nalthen couldn't keep me away from you with an army. Oh. I forget. He has one."
Irvine rolled his eyes at the sally. "You'd better comeback - make it soon because then hopefully I won't have to put with those lot."
"There your friends aren't they?" Kel said surprise ringing in her voice.
"Sure. But it can get very trying living and working in close quarters with them for over a year and a half." Irvine said gently.
"Yeah. Know what you mean." Kel said.
Kel! Irvine! Hurry up and say your goodbyes. We need to leave now Swift said angrily.
Both sighed. Irvine squeezed Kel close and gave her a quick kiss and then let her go reluctantly.
Swift leaned down opening the cockpit. Kel nimbly entered the cockpit and it closed as she waved at Irvine. Growling a goodbye to Irvine Swift turned and pounded out of the hangar doors. The door clanged shut behind the pair quickly leaving a worried Irvine behind.
**********************
Give me a report on the situation please Swift. I'm engaging the shield now Kel said her now silver eyes watching bullets bounce harmlessly off the shield.
Flame and Leaf are in the South, Crest and Light are in the West, Fang and Cyclone are in the East. Our unit is approaching from beyond the base. We are the northern quadrant. The Southern Unit, Western Unit, and Eastern Unit will be at the battlefield in approximately 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Our unit will be at the battlefield in approximately 2 minutes and counting. They will be using the base as a cover for their approach. The base will be at our back so we can protect them. Behooved's unit will be setting itself up in case of casualties at the base. There are 5 units protecting them. 1 minute until contact. Identifying protecting units now - Wind, Blaze, Blade, Harny and Culler. 30 seconds until contact. 29, 28, 27 Swift informed Kelasan. Kelsasan swiftly digested the information and waited for her unit to enter the fray.

"What are we waiting for? An invitation?" Colonel Herman said exasperated. He swiftly moved towards his Storm Sworder.
"You are not going anywhere Colonel Herman. You will stay at this base and command the units from here." The President's voice cut through the hustle and bustle. Everyone paused to stare at the President stunned.
Colonel Herman bowed politely to his mother and the Emperor. "Sorry Madame President but my presence is required in the field."
"Major O'Connel shall take your place. As the Emperor correctly reminded me you are in danger according to the young lady who spoke with the Nalthen person. For your personal safety we deem it necessary for you to stay here." President Cramford said icily. Her anger weighed into the heavy silence. Everybody suspended in their activities to watch the contest of wills between mother and son, Colonel and President.
"I cannot do that Madame President. My job is to fight in the thick of things. You are stopping me from completing my job. I face the danger of being killed every time I pilot my zoid yet - it is not any different now. I don't see how you can justify from keeping me here and not letting me participate in the ensuing battle." Colonel Herman said coldly.
"It is different this time because their will be people specifically aiming for you. You are a good pilot and it has never worried us that you would not come out of your battle alive. These pilots have been ordered to kill you according to the young woman. We cannot risk your life - after all you are next in line for the presidency." The President said back voice dripping with ice.
Everybody resumed their designated tasks after a sharp reprimanding glare from the President.
****************************************************** Sorry for the wait for this chapter. Been really, really busy. Hope to update with another chapter soon. Might not be up to the same standard - I was a bit dry for ideas I'm sorry.
BTW - the Gryphon, Kelasan, three organoids and the new zoid belong to me. The Characters from Zoids do not belong to me.
