ZOIDS: Vanessa Leafwood Squeals On Ruby
The World Cup was only days away, and Ruby was excited. She had trained exceptionally hard and had beat anyone who wanted to challenge her. She was proud of her progress in battle.
Now everyone knew about the Shield Liger, too. Bit was angry, Leena and Jamie were surprised, but Brad just sat down and said things like 'sure' and 'okay.' He wasn't impressed.
The day before the World Cup Championships, Ruby had an unexpected visitor. Ruby was planting and working in her garden when she heard a car pull up behind her. When she turned around, she saw a large black van.
The driver got out of the vehicle and when she did, she gave a little gasp. The woman was about twenty one. She was as tall as Ruby with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her hair came down to her waist. She wore a red blouse with buttoned up black shoes.
Ruby immediately recognized her as one of the daughters of the bandits.
"Leafwood! How did you get here?" Ruby asked in amazement.
"I drove, silly," the woman said. Her name was Vanessa Leafwood. She was the daughter of one of the bandits. She was always picky about things. If you just saw her, the way she acts, you would think she was a grandma. She always talks and worries about things she shouldn't.
That night, Ruby and the Blitz team prepared a dinner fit for a king to give Vanessa. She ate wholeheartedly. She said it was the best she ever had.
Toward the middle of the dinner conversation, Vanessa turned to Ruby as she had her face in her plate.
"You know Ruby, I never thought of seeing an Obscura this far south." That simple sentence sent off a fuse to a mine full of dynamite.
Ruby made a small sound like a squeak and a gasp. When she looked up, the whole Blitz team was looking at her.
"You're an Obscura?" Bit asked through clenched teeth.
"Why did you tell us you were a McFarland?" Jamie asked.
"Why did you lie to us?" Brad asked coldly.
"Look, I can explain... It's like this... Oh, come on, you see that I'm not like any other Obscura..." Ruby stopped. Toros was looking at her with distaste, as if she were a repulsive piece of trash.
"Get out of my sight, Obscura. Go back to your real team," Toros growled angrily.
Ruby looked at them pleadingly once more, and then turned tail and ran out of the room. The first thing she did was pack cloths and take her Zoids (Gunblade and Storm Shadow) out of the Hangers. She would go to the Backdraft, if that's what Toros wanted her to do.
