Zoids: The Truth About Ruby Obscura
Ruby O'Sullivan Obscura was a wealthy child. She lived with her mother and father on a lake up in the northern regions of Zi. It was warm in the summer and cold in winter. Each year, the Obscura family would take long hike through the woods. On one such outing when Ruby was only six, she and her Organoid were separated from her mom and dad. In seconds, they were grabbed by a group of bandits.
They put an old greasy handkerchief in Ruby's mouth to work as a gag. They then tied her hands and feet together. After that, they blindfolded her. Then one of them swung her over his back and ran off in the other direction of Ruby's mom and dad. The whole gang of bandits took Ruby to the southern regions, over two hundred miles away, by horseback.
They simply gagged the Organoid too, not knowing its true value. Then they went to the south.
Ruby had always been independent, not needing her mom as much as the average child. But, for weeks on end, she cried herself to sleep in the little hut the bandits lived in. For the first time in her life, she missed her mother.
There were four of the small huts, just twelve by fifteen feet each. It had a barbed wire fence surrounding it. As if Ruby would dream of trekking the two hundred miles back home. There was a little garden that the bandits' daughters tended to. At first, Ruby hated these people. After a year, she grew to be so dependent on them that she forgot her pride. She forgot being independent; all she had thrived on the year before was gone. Her new dad was the patriarch of the bandits. His name was Samuel, or just plain Sam.
The bandits had a life surrounded in the folds of the Backdraft. Wearing it like a heavy golden cloak meant for a king. They strut around, ordering the workers to do this or that. They were far worse than anyone Ruby had known, but they were the only people she had a connection with.
When Ruby grew older, she was allowed to go to the Backdraft base and pilot the Zoid of her choice for the time the bandits were there. She would always go to the Saberlion, Liger Zero X, Lightning Saix, or any other cat type Zoid the Backdraft had to offer. All too many times she was told she couldn't pilot the Storm Shadow. She longed to pilot it in any battle. She was like Vega Obscura when she was thirteen.
Later, when Ruby was fifteen, her 'dad' got her the Storm Shadow for her birthday. Ruby was so happy, she couldn't thank her 'dad' enough. Though it cost 'Dad' a lot of money, he was glad to see Ruby happy.
Before Ruby left, a tall seventeen-year-old came into the camp. Ruby was only sixteen then, but she remembers him like it was yesterday. He was almost the same height as Ruby, with dark brown hair. He had green eyes mixed in with blue. He had high cheekbones. Ruby thought he was the most handsome person she ever met. His name was Taigin Yenrai.
A few years later, Ruby left her protective nest behind her for the first time. She set off across the desert with her skill, knowledge and her heart to guide her. She left with her Storm Shadow and her Organoid.
It didn't take long for disaster to strike. Ruby was sneaking into a rival Backdraft's base when she got caught. The group belonged to Altile. She quickly jumped into a Lightning Saix's cockpit and dashed away. He chased Ruby down, but by that time she had a different Zoid. It was an all black Liger, except the eyes were the most vivid green Altile had ever seen.
The Liger won the battle and booked off before Altile could do anything. He then put a large bounty on Ruby. It worked for a few weeks. Every bounty hunter was looking for Ruby O'Sullivan Obscura, five foot six, brown hair, green eyes, age seventeen. No one could find her because she dyed her hair auburn and changed her name to Ruby McFarland.
