Hello! I'm back yet again! Maybe I should stop updating so often. I get one
review per chapter. But, hey, RAVEN'S IN IT NOW!! BOO YA!!! Soo, you
excited? Want me to stop talking? Well, too bad! I'm gonna drone on, and
on, and on. or not. I want to see Raven in the story too. so yeah. I
apologize for any OOCnessish you may experience during the reading of this
chapter. You know the drill, "/" mean italics. Athank ya.
I DON'T OWN ZOIDS OR THE OPENING STATEMET THE STORY AND THIS A RUN-ON SENTECE SINCE THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE CLAUSES AND YOU SHOULD BE CORRECTING ME BUT YOU'RE NOT.
So I was in the back seat and Lilly was driving as usual. I had my arms crossed until we got to the suburbs again. It was swampy and footprints were going to be easy to see. It would be a synch to find Raven; except for the fact the motorcycle was going two miles an hour in the swamp. We gave up soon enough and we were out of the swamp and on the desert faster than you can say chicklebob. ((A/N: An inside joke between my friend and I. blame it on my sense in wanting to include it.))
The motorcycle went extremely fast in the desert, and apparently so did Raven's Zoid. Once we had found the footprints, they went on for miles. We stopped at nighttime to rest, but I didn't get off the motorcycle. When I woke up we were moving again. Lilly screamed in my ear, waking me up fully.
"KALA!! There's a ZOID up ahead!!!!" she yelled.
"Hit the gas!!"
It was a red Zaberfang, a saber-tooth tiger type Zoid that was very fast and strong. It was moving at an abnormally fast rate but we soon caught up with it. I wondered if it was Raven as a pilot or if he had an organoid. It was probably both.
The sand flew in my face and hair as Lilly cranked up the speed and we caught up with the walking Zoid. Lilly looked back at me and asked me if should drive in front of it. I nodded and we went even faster. The wind wasn't helping the sand blowing my eyes. She drove in front of the Zoid and we stopped right in front of it. The Zaberfang stopped immediately and I heard Raven's deep, icy voice echo throughout the desert. ((A/N: W00T! OUR HERO!!))
"Get out of my way," the intercom boomed.
"Umm, Raven!! Uh, we were wondering if we could know where a strange- looking Rev Raptor could be!" Lilly asked politely.
"What's it to you? Move, before I stomp you," he said.
I stood up off the motorcycle. "No! I want to know where my Zoid is!"
"Oh, the freak machine is /YOUR/ Zoid?"
"So you /do/ know about it?" I grinned.
The cockpit hatch opened and what I saw was either a trick played by the sand in my eyes. or I just saw a total hottie. Raven looked like a strong, but slim young boy, and he was wearing a tight purple jacket with straps going up to the collar and down around him. His pants were a dark color as well, with a white zigzag line that went through them. He had a metal shoulder guards on too. ((A/N: I KNOW, I KNOW, it's his GF outfit with a few minor changes but, I couldn't remember what his other one looked like.))
Raven had intense, poignant dark violet eyes that were nearly covered by his black hair that went down to his shoulders. It wasn't girlish though. It was spiky, but not pointing up like Ban's hair. It looked like it tapered back until it was just the end of his hair. He had a red mark below his right eye; it looked like the Speedo sign only with a red dot next to it. He also had a black eye, probably from Jeri. He jumped down and my eyes followed his every move. He walked toward me and he got so close I could feel his breath. My eyes were locked with his. He whispered something harshly to me.
"Move."
At that point I was ready to faint and couldn't move. Lilly dragged me from the range of the Zaberfang quickly and I had a dazed look on my face as I watched him get back into the Zoid and walk off. I saw a blurry hand pass in front of my face. I heard some calling my voice.
"Kala. Kala."
It was Raven. He was there in front of me! I nervously stood up and I was face to face with him. then.our faces got closer and closer.
"KALA!!!!"
I snapped out of my daydream. Lilly was standing in front of me, looking at me with that what's-the-matter-with-you look. I smiled uncertainly and got up. My legs were weak and my mind was still filled with thoughts of Raven.
"Kala, what's the matter with you?! Hellooo? Is anyone home?"
"Yeah, I'm here. what?" I said snapping back to attention once again.
"Um.. Kala, maybe you didn't notice, but he told you to move and I had to drag you from your spot," Lilly said sarcastically.
"He told me to move." I daydreamed.
"Kala? Is everything okay? You acted like you were in love with the guy!!"
That made me talk.
"Acted? /Acted?/ ACTED!!! Lilly, that's the most frikkinest hottest guy I've ever seen in my whole frikkin' life!"
"Your life is frikkin'?"
I sighed. Lilly had obviously not seen what I had seen in Raven. The best part was about this situation, I would have to chase him down to get the information. Then he would have to lead us to it. Which meant traveling time with Raven!! And Lilly.
"Kala, you can't become like this now. we have a Zoid to hunt! Besides. whatever happened to Callipso?" she asked smugly.
Callipso. he was my old boyfriend back when I was 10 and I lived on a place called Earth. He liked me, but him and I didn't see eye to eye all the time. He was about regaining power and killing and honor and pride and stuff like that. He had a gun on his hand and he was a Saiyan just like me. But he was so boring. and he died fighting for his honor.
"Lilly, Callipso is dead," I replied flatly.
"Really?"
I nodded. "Besides, the best part about this mission is that we'll have to get Raven in order to get the information out of him. And then he'll have to lead us to Slash. Don't worry, I'm still all business."
Everything I just said was true, except for maybe the part about being all business. I wanted to get Slasher back, but I wanted to spend time with Raven. I was a hopeless cause.
That night, all I dreamt about was Raven. I couldn't get him out of my head. That moment would be etched in my brain for the rest of my life. In the morning asked Lilly if she had ever felt that way about a guy.
"Did I ever!" she exclaimed. "There was the boy at the boarding school. His name was Han Polo, and he was good-looking. I mean, Kala. this guy was /h-o-o-t!/" she said, putting an accent on the two o's.
I looked at Lilly skeptically, "He was hoot?"
"No, hott!"
"Lilly, you spelled it h-o-o-t. It's spelled h-o-t-t," I explained.
"My sisters must've been pretty dumb then. That's how they spelled hott."
I laughed a lot that morning as Lilly and I again exchanged stories of our families. I noticed that whenever something interesting happened, it was always when the last digit in my age was a zero or five. I could only think about lay ahead for me in my life, but it was probably going to be something great.
We headed off on the motorcycle, following Raven's tracks. We ate some of the food Jeri had given us that morning as well. It was a windy, hot, dry day. The sand whipped my face like a thousand tiny knives piercing my skin. It was extremely hard to follow his tracks as the wind washed most of them away. Despite this, Lilly tried to go as fast as she could.
Soon the wind died down by night, and by that time I was so miserable I didn't move. I was sand covered and very cold as night set in. Lilly slept peacefully on the ground while I struggled to keep my language pleasant. In the morning, I was still in the same position I was in during the night. Arms crossed, teeth gritted, and eyes closed.
The weather changed from horrible to wonderful that day. It was easy for Lilly to follow the tracks, I had my eyes closed. It was until dinner when she dumped water on me that I opened my eyes. I was happy that we were still on the trail, but I complained that we should've found him already.
"Kala, he's in a ZOID. We're on a MOTORCYCLE! See the difference?! He's going to have to take a rest stop eventually, which is probably where he's heading. When we get there. you can torture and I can interrogate," she fought. Lilly won that argument, but I was still convinced that we could get there faster. I longed to see his face again. and I wanted to have Slasher back too, how could I forget her? My own Zoid. and she was being held captive by the Imperials. poor Slash.
The motorcycle engine was so loud even the muffler couldn't help. I ducked behind Lilly who absorbed most of the sand blow. She was wearing goggles and a scarf, a typical outfit. The scarf kept whacking me in the face, but it was better than a thousand tiny sand particles hitting your face.
We must've of been on the right track to Raven because we came upon Zoid wrecks and fires a blazing. I grinned. This just showed how good a fighter Raven was. The wrecks of Zoids were that of a Guysack, a scorpion-type Zoid of the Republic. They were probably sleepers, a barrage of Zoids that only attack when awoken or threatened, and they hide in the sand. Raven obviously didn't care because they were destroyed whether they attacked or not.
"Poor Zoids," Lilly sympathized.
"Yeah. they're just. dead." I blinked. The Zoid core, the heart of the Zoid, was completely destroyed, making the Zoid unable to be revived, unless it was acted upon by an organoid. Deep down I didn't really care for them, if it was Raven who destroyed them.
Lilly sighed and kept on driving. "That Raven boy. he's heartless."
"Yeah." I grinned dreamily.
"Kala, I mean, not to go so far in the future. but if you guys got together, well. he'd probably use you," Lilly mumbled.
"Lilly! First off, you don't even know the guy! Second off.never mind." I complained. How dare she say that! It could be true. but I mustn't dare think that either. with a guy like Raven, he probably wouldn't like me anyway. I'm a complete freak! I have a tail, and short black hair that never grows! Besides, with a guy like him, he probably has a girlfriend already.
We dropped the subject by nighttime and I fell asleep again. My dreams were not happy. I dreamt of Raven, except he was not the guy I wanted him to be. He was a ruthless, cold, killing machine. Even his name. Raven, like in the poem on Earth. The Raven is always portrayed as an evil symbol. I realized that Raven was not the guy for me. Like I would ever get together with him.
That morning my thoughts were focused on finding Slash. My feelings for the boy had changed so quickly, the crush was short lived. I didn't mind. With all the weird people I had met in a short time, there was a chance of that happening. I would get Slash and beat Raven and Ban.
My butt was falling asleep on the motorcycle and so was I. It was morning and I was so bored and I had nothing else to do.
"Lilly?"
"Yeah?"
"Are we there yet?"
"I don't know!!"
But at that moment, an explosion came from the distance and hot wind blew our way. A red Zaberfang was on the horizon and rushing toward us, fast. It took a well-placed leap and jumped over us. I ordered Lilly to follow it and the motorcycle turned around and lurched forward. We were gaining fast, and soon the Zoid's pace slowed down to a walk. We zoomed in front of it and stopped ahead. The Zoid stopped as well and Raven spoke.
"Not you again. Will I have to crush you or can you get out of my way?" he asked coldly.
"I have a feeling of déjà vu." Lilly squeaked.
I smiled and got off the motorcycle. I climbed the Zoid and right away was on the hatch, looking in the eye of the Zoid. Raven was looking at me with a what-the-heck-are-you-doing look. His eyes were so dark. they were like endless black holes. I shook my head and made an angry face.
"Raven." I tried to yell, but all that came out was a hoarse whisper.
"What?"
"I. I. I want my Zoid back."
"What?!" he asked, annoyed now.
I gathered up all the courage I had left and screamed, "I WANT MY ZOID BACK AND YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME WHERE IT IS!!"
I took a deep breath as Raven uttered his response, "Why should I?"
"Raven.. you're my only hope. You've got to tell me!" I cried. I put on my best puppy face and Raven didn't seem to care. ((A/N: Obi Wan Kenobi.. you're my only hope.))
"Give me a break. You're weak. There's no way I would help you even if you were the last girl on Zi," he smirked.
I jumped down. Raven wasn't going to help me? He really was a cold- hearted beast. I needed something to threaten him with. A weapon. I looked at the back of the motorcycle. There was nothing there but a frying pan. I guess it would have to do. I grabbed it and before Raven could start his Zoid again, I climbed up and whacked the glass, breaking it. Raven looked at me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he cursed angrily.
"I'm breaking in," I smirked. I climbing the cockpit and it was really small, but even better, not giving Raven room to run away. I saw Lilly peeking in through the broken cockpit window. I told her to come in and she had rope with her.
"Stop it! Stop it now!" Raven growled angrily and we tied him down to the chair. I smirked, and held the frying pan over his head. He looked so helpless, tied there. His eyes were flaming with hatred. They were so alluring. no. I was in the middle of forcing someone to cooperate. His hair though. so free and wild. just like his nature.
I shook my head. Lilly began asking questions.
"So, Raven. would you mind telling us who you work for?"
"I'm not telling you anything! And you! With the black hair! Stop staring at me like some demented zombie!"
I whacked him on the head with the frying pan. He flinched but showed no sign of immense pain. Man, this boy was tough.
"Her name is /Kala/. My name's Lilly Sunshine!" she said happily.
"Or Lilly Sunburn." I grinned.
"Kala!"
I smiled a bit and Lilly kept asking the questions. We couldn't get anything out of him, it was like trying to milk a rock. The only answer that we actually got a valid answer was the question I asked him.
"Do you have girlfriend?"
"No. Why do you care?"
"Kala! I'm asking the questions!!"
We stayed there all day, the Zoid moving once or twice by Raven trying to kick the controls. Lilly tied his feet down hard and he couldn't move at all. He even tried to call on his organoid, "Shadow". Lilly had certain animal (organoids may not be things with fur, scales, or feathers, but they are living, breathing things, an animal) charms, and was able to tell Shadow to go away. It took a bit of persuasion, but he did leave the Zoid eventually. That way he couldn't control it.
I was the first to fall asleep, standing. Lilly stayed up all night, asking questions and when I fell on Raven while I was sleeping he yelled at me and of course I stayed awake. We were all going crazy. Lilly started acting like Scrooge, saying "Bah, Humbug," at random times, and I starting drooling. But I wasn't tired. Staying within twelve inches of Raven for over twenty-four hours was getting to me. He was so hott, and I couldn't resist him. ((A/N: My friend and her stupid suggestions. why don't I just take it out? I don't know.))
Nobody ate, nobody drank, so obviously nobody had to get out of the cockpit. Raven was the last one to lose his nerves, and starting spitting out information left and right. I sucked it up like a dry sponge, absorbing every little detail about where Slash was.
"I work for Prozen. I'm Günter Prozen he said. we got the Zoid. it's a feisty one.Raven, do you like tea parties he asked. I'm Lord Prozen.unghh.put it in the royal hanger.we'll use it later.I hate tea parties.whee. Raven destroy that base. drink the tea he says. yum, tea. wha. what? Oh no. I've been telling you things."
Raven fell asleep right then and there. And we had gotten some of the information we needed. I climbed out of the cockpit and took a well- deserved rest, and Lily joined me about two hours later. We woke up who- knows-how many hours later to the sound of Raven's angry yells.
"Get me out of here!! Black hair!! Sunburn!! Get me out!!"
Lilly and I ignored him until we were done eating, and finally climbed up to the cockpit and gave him food after untying him. He ate it gratefully, not caring where it came from. It was only until Raven was done eating that we told him he would have to get us to Slash.
"Why should I?"
"Because Raven, if you don't, you'll find that Shadow will have slightly decreased his liking to you," Lilly smirked. I would've said something, but I could not speak to him. My thoughts of Raven had changed again. He was just a sexy guy. He was so wonderful in some way I couldn't take my eyes off him.
"What are you talking about Sunburn?"
"I mean, that you know I made Shadow leave the Zoid? Well, I can make him leave you," Lilly bribed, trying to ignore the "Sunburn" comment.
"What? You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh, but I would! I won't as long as you take us to Slash," Lilly smiled evilly.
Raven was between a rock and a hard place. Tell us strange girls where the prized Zoid was and take the risk with Prozen? Or risk losing his organoid forever? I again gathered up all my courage, and, and with my frying pan behind my back, bent down towards Raven and whispered in his ear.
"/What's it gonna be?/"
-----------------------------------------------------
So, did ya like it? Raven's in it, finally. Kala's a bit love-struck, no? Anyways, why is Raven so nice to Kala? Will she ever get Slasher back? Why did Lilly act like Scrooge? Why did Kala choose the frying pan? WILL I EVER STOP ASKING SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS? Find out, next time! That sounded like a commercial.
I DON'T OWN ZOIDS OR THE OPENING STATEMET THE STORY AND THIS A RUN-ON SENTECE SINCE THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE CLAUSES AND YOU SHOULD BE CORRECTING ME BUT YOU'RE NOT.

I jumped down. Raven wasn't going to help me? He really was a cold- hearted beast. I needed something to threaten him with. A weapon. I looked at the back of the motorcycle. There was nothing there but a frying pan. I guess it would have to do. I grabbed it and before Raven could start his Zoid again, I climbed up and whacked the glass, breaking it. Raven looked at me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he cursed angrily.
"I'm breaking in," I smirked. I climbing the cockpit and it was really small, but even better, not giving Raven room to run away. I saw Lilly peeking in through the broken cockpit window. I told her to come in and she had rope with her.

His eyes were flaming with hatred. They were so alluring. no. I was in the middle of forcing someone to cooperate. His hair though. so free and wild. just like his nature.

"So, Raven. would you mind telling us who you work for?"
"I'm not telling you anything! And you! With the black hair! Stop staring at me like some demented zombie!"
I whacked him on the head with the frying pan. He flinched but showed no sign of immense pain. Man, this boy was tough.
"Her name is /Kala/. My name's Lilly Sunshine!" she said happily.
"Or Lilly Sunburn." I grinned.
"Kala!"
I smiled a bit and Lilly kept asking the questions. We couldn't get anything out of him, it was like trying to milk a rock. The only answer that we actually got a valid answer was the question I asked him.
"Do you have girlfriend?"
"No. Why do you care?"
"Kala! I'm asking the questions!!"
We stayed there all day, the Zoid moving once or twice by Raven trying to kick the controls. Lilly tied his feet down hard and he couldn't move at all. He even tried to call on his organoid, "Shadow". Lilly had certain animal (organoids may not be things with fur, scales, or feathers, but they are living, breathing things, an animal) charms, and was able to tell Shadow to go away. It took a bit of persuasion, but he did leave the Zoid eventually. That way he couldn't control it.
I was the first to fall asleep, standing. Lilly stayed up all night, asking questions and when I fell on Raven while I was sleeping he yelled at me and of course I stayed awake. We were all going crazy. Lilly started acting like Scrooge, saying "Bah, Humbug," at random times, and I starting drooling. But I wasn't tired. Staying within twelve inches of Raven for over twenty-four hours was getting to me. He was so hott, and I couldn't resist him. ((A/N: My friend and her stupid suggestions. why don't I just take it out? I don't know.))
Nobody ate, nobody drank, so obviously nobody had to get out of the cockpit. Raven was the last one to lose his nerves, and starting spitting out information left and right. I sucked it up like a dry sponge, absorbing every little detail about where Slash was.
"I work for Prozen. I'm Günter Prozen he said. we got the Zoid. it's a feisty one.Raven, do you like tea parties he asked. I'm Lord Prozen.unghh.put it in the royal hanger.we'll use it later.I hate tea parties.whee. Raven destroy that base. drink the tea he says. yum, tea. wha. what? Oh no. I've been telling you things."
Raven fell asleep right then and there. And we had gotten some of the information we needed. I climbed out of the cockpit and took a well- deserved rest, and Lily joined me about two hours later. We woke up who- knows-how many hours later to the sound of Raven's angry yells.
"Get me out of here!! Black hair!! Sunburn!! Get me out!!"
Lilly and I ignored him until we were done eating, and finally climbed up to the cockpit and gave him food after untying him. He ate it gratefully, not caring where it came from. It was only until Raven was done eating that we told him he would have to get us to Slash.
"Why should I?"
"Because Raven, if you don't, you'll find that Shadow will have slightly decreased his liking to you," Lilly smirked. I would've said something, but I could not speak to him. My thoughts of Raven had changed again. He was just a sexy guy. He was so wonderful in some way I couldn't take my eyes off him.
"What are you talking about Sunburn?"
"I mean, that you know I made Shadow leave the Zoid? Well, I can make him leave you," Lilly bribed, trying to ignore the "Sunburn" comment.
"What? You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh, but I would! I won't as long as you take us to Slash," Lilly smiled evilly.
Raven was between a rock and a hard place. Tell us strange girls where the prized Zoid was and take the risk with Prozen? Or risk losing his organoid forever? I again gathered up all my courage, and, and with my frying pan behind my back, bent down towards Raven and whispered in his ear.
"/What's it gonna be?/"
