ZOIDS: I Don't Know Who You're Talking About
The room was only twelve feet by ten. Quite a small room. The bed cover was green and black. The window was locked shut. The person on the bed was Ruby. Slowly she woke up. The last thing she remembered was the last shot she fired at the Backdraft. When she realized where she was, she blinked and bolted upright. She was looking for someone... There, Leena was next to the door.\

"Where's Wakatsaki?" Ruby asked.

"Wakat... Who? Who is that?" Leena inquired.

"Tall, about twenty, torn bandana, a scar. That person."

"Oh, him. You should have said Kiyo. I would have known better."

"Really? Where is he?" Ruby said.

"He's out trying to fix the old relic of a Zoid that we gave him. It's an old Sinker Ray. More than likely it comes from the age of the first Zoid. It hasn't worked since the day Harry Champ used it," Leena laughed. "Yeah, that was a good fight, it was before Harry got into the Champ team."

"Oh well, who cares about Harry's history. I need to know where Kiyo is, right now."

"I told you. He's fixing that Zoid..." Leena paused then gave a nervous smile. "Oh, ah-ha, you want to know where he is. I can tell you, he's out in the hangers directly opposite of the Gunblade's hanger. Does that help?"

Ruby was already up and out of the door. She raced to the hangers that Kiyo was supposedly in. When she got there, she found Kiyo sitting on the back of the Sinker Ray.

Kiyo smiled when he saw Ruby enter the hanger. He jumped off the back of his Zoid. He walked to the long table by the door and sat down. "Hey, I'm thinking our relationship is over, right?" He asked with a cheeky grin.

"Don't push it. Anyway, how did you get past the bullet?"

"You missed me. More unfortunate for the six Backdraft members you got."

"Is that it? And here I am thinking that I got you. Oh well, who really cares?" Ruby asked. "Anyway, what happened out there?"

"I tried to take you back to your Zoid, but you didn't want to and you threatened to shoot me. You wouldn't cooperate, so I had to fight off the rest of the Backdraft myself. Your Organoid used your Storm Shadow and made quick work out of the solders in the Backdraft. They turned tail and ran as fast as they could back to the Whale king."

"That dramatic, huh?"

"Yeah."

There was a silence. Ruby walked over to the table and sat down, too. She studied Kiyo's face a while. She traced the scar a few times. She didn't know how it had happened yet. Finally, Kiyo spoke.

"Hey, when is the next battle?"

"Huh? The next battle... Its... Wait! You're not on the Blitz team too, are you?" Ruby asked in horror.

"No, no I just need to know because I need to be out of here by the next battle." Kiyo walked over to the chair that was by the door and sat down. "Jeeze no. If I were on the Blitz team... I don't know what I'd do."

"Probably lead a better life than you do now. I don't know what I would do if I weren't on the Blitz team." Ruby studied Kiyo again. His old bandana was still torn, he hadn't fixed it. The scar still ran down his face. He might have that scar for life.

"Well, I've gotta go. See you later?" Ruby asked, standing up to leave.

"Yeah, I guess I'll be stuck here for a while, but nothing I can do, right?" He smiled.

"Yeah, nothing you can do..." Ruby echoed.
