D-chan left the room after watching Kashie mess around with the consoles a little bit, checking up on the security and such. She left, but another walked in.
"Hi, Kashie. You're up WAY earlier than usual," came a teen-aged female voice. Kashie casually turned his chair around to recieve a good-morning look from a short 16-year-old girl with knee-length midnight black hair. Her irregularly dark violet eyes also casted a greeting look upon him.
"Hey, Izumi," Kashie responded. The girl walked up to the consoles with him. On her shoulder, she had a fierce looking dragon tatoo that could scare off anyone who didn't know her. She wore a violet turtle neck and black baggy pants to appear casual. Izumi yawned and stretched her arms.
"Why did you wake up so freakin' early?" she asked. Kashie shrugged.
"I just... wanted to see what was goin' on. Runa's going to be away for awhile. She's staying with another team because they won't hand over what we think is a spy to be questioned," he answered.
"Oh they WON'T, huh?" Izumi asked, dangerously.
"Well, I know that if YOU were there with us, you would've gotten her back. Hehe, but that redhead on the other team... geez... you might have competition," Kashie replied.
"WHAT!? ME!? Naw, naw, naw, NO ONE can compete with me! I would fuckin' cuss her outta Zi in a fuckin ' heartbeat!" Izumi shouted.
"Oho, yeah, I'm not saying that I disagree... I'm just saying that you might have a liiiiiittle competition... aka, it might be a lil' bit harder, Izumi," Kashie said.
"Bwahahaha, yeah, right. You're so paranoid, just like your sister," Izumi cackled.
"Hey, my sister has been keeping that pretty well handled. I'm sure she's been letting it get the best of her every once in awhile, but she's been keeping it under wraps... I know she's paranoid, she's a freak, what can you expect?" Kashie asked. This made Izumi giggle.
"You're mean, Kashie. For a 12-year-old, you sure know how to word things..." she said.
"Weeeell, it's true!" Kashie answered. "And anyway, I just might take my Spino and head back over to where she's at and see what's goin' on. I don't think I totally trust everyone there."
"Greeeeat, that'll give me something to do! I'll go with you!" Izumi replied. "CHEEEEMUUUKK!" she hollered. In a few moments, a black wolf came running into the console room. The wolf was a tad bit smaller than a wolf should be, and it had a large scar on her front left leg. Well, for saying that, you should know that everyone in the room at the moment had a scar somewhere. Kashie had one right across the bridge of his nose, and Izumi had an ugly scar across her cheek. Having heard this, Kashie scratched his head and ruffled his black spikey hair a little bit.
"Uh... I dunno, Izumi. Don't you have stuff to do?" he asked.
"Don't YOU?" Izumi asked.
"Well, yeah, but--"
"So then don't get on MY ass about it, if it's gonna be a big bite in YOUR ass, too! I don't wanna do all this shit I gotta do around here right now! Blah, I'll let the rest of my team do it," Izumi replied.
"Mneh..."
^~~^*^~~^*^~~^*^~~^
'Oi, good good sleep...' Runa thougth as she curled up on the floor of the living room in the hover cargo. Peaceful. The only thing that managed to go through her mind at the moment. She tossed around a few times trying to find an even more comfortable position when she got a strange image in her head.
"Holy shit!" she said to herself, waking up instantly. She hugged her knees for a few seconds, and then stood up, only to run into Bit.
"What's wrong, Runa?" he asked, walking into the kitchen. Runa felt her face just flushing red.
"N-nothing!" she said a little bit louder than she wanted to. She reached for a glass, but instead, walked over to the sink, turned the tap on as far as it would go, and stuck her head underneath the running water. Bit just stared at her blankly, his hand halfway into the cabinet reaching for a cup.
"Uh..."
After about 15 seconds, Runa turned the tap off and slowly tilted her head up and let the water from her soaked hair run down her back. She didn't seemed phased at the chill of it at all.
"Um... you could've used the shower..." Bit replied. Runa only gave a shrill sigh.
"Nope," she said in a somewhat high voice. Strange and peculiar. Bit didn't know why she was acting that way. Runa began to walk down the hallway down to the bathroom when she ran into Brad, woken by the noises in the kitchen.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked when he saw Runa's wet and flushed face.
"Nothing," she squeaked. 'Dammit, that sounded so stupid,' she thought to herself.
"Hehe, ooooh no, there's something wrong with you," Brad replied, placing a hand on top of the shorter female's head and leading her back into the living room. He shoved her into a chair. "What's up?"
"I said that there was nothing wrong," Runa said. The red in her face was beginning to go away.
"I think she's okay... maybe... err... she just... uh..." Bit said, trying to find an excuse for Runa. Runa folded her arms and gave a rude glance at Brad.
"Whydo'ya always have to go and NOT TRUST ME, Brad?" she asked.
"I can't. It's something about you. I just can't trust ANY PART OF YOU. I don't know why, exactly. If you have a problem with it, then leave," Brad said to her. That was enough to light Runa's fuse. Her eyes narrowed. From her pocket, she pulled out a six-inch iron bar that was just a little bit thicker than her pinky. She pulled on the ends and it extended to a foot and a half. With the press of a button, two blades appeared on the end.
"I've had enough. Want me to be nice? Then show some mutual feelings, God dammit! I have to deal with this kind of shit every day, but you," Runa replied, pointing her bladed baton at Brad, "you have managed to piss... me... off. I've had enough of you! I don't care if you don't trust me, I'm gonna keep with all of you until I get what I came for, no matter how much shit I have to put up with! So I'm gonna tell you right now that all of the damn crap you're gonna say to me in the future isn't gonna be worth it!"
Faint clapping from the kitchen could be heard. Everyone turned to see Leena standing in the kitchen, clapping at Runa's speech.
"VERY well said, Runa," she replied. "I know one girl who isn't taking crap from anyone." Runa smirked.
"Damn straight," she replied. Leena felt that she had the need to talk one-on-one with Runa. She set her coffee cup on the kitchen counter and tightened the belt of her lemon yellow bath robe.
"Bit, Brad, can you... um, leave for a for a few minutes? I... I kinda need to talk to Runa. So... umm... yeah, please?" Leena asked. Bit left the room and wandered back to his own, while Brad did the same after giving a strange look to Runa. When it was obvious that there wasn't a male soul in the living room, Leena spoke up.
"I... I can really tell that there's going to be trouble with you and Brad. It's better to have him on your side than against you, though, because he can either save your ass, or chew your ass out," she began. "Why don't you apologize? I KNOW that you didn't do anything... but, he won't, and if one of you doesn't speak up to one another, then, well, y'see, you won't ever be... friends."
"Do I really want that bastard as a friend?" Runa asked. Little did the two know that it wasn't just them listening to the conversation.
Then, there was a noise. A loud, ear shattering noise. Everyone woke--Doc, Jamie, Bit, Brad, Miyuki--they all ran to the proper places, except for Miyuki, who was quite confused, despite the fact that she had been listening to Leena and Runa. Jamie and Doc were observing what was going on outside through the hover cargo's main window and console screen, as Bit, Brad, Leena, and Runa ran into the hangar. When the four entered the hangar, though, they saw a large hole torn in the side of the hangar, and two Zoids--an Iron Kong PK, and a strange Zoid known as The Bahamut. Runa had a sudden feeling that they were after her.
"Aiiiee...! Where did they come from!?" Leena shouted. She never got her answer. The Iron Kong and Bahamut jumped into the hole and entered the hangar. Bit ran as fast as he could to get to his Liger 0, but his path was destroyed as the Bahamut stood clearly in his way. Numerous weapons pointed at the members of the Blitz team, freezing them in their tracks.
"Move, and I shoot!" shouted the pilot of the Bahamut. The cockpit of the Iron Kong opened up, and a shadowy figure jumped out. He moved behind Runa, and held her in a lock. He quickly threw chains over her arms, which were behind her back. Runa screamed. She tried to get her feet to touch the ground, but the shadowy figure was taller than she was, and held her in the air. Runa felt the air she needed not filling her lungs. She gasped a few times before she started to choke up tears. The figure held a towel over her mouth, and a strange fume entered Runa's lungs, making her pass out.
"I'm here for Miyuki!" the pilot of the Bahamut shouted, again. Hearing this, Miyuki ran into the hangar and climbed into the cockpit of the Bahamut.
"Zero! Y-you... you came to get me!" Miyuki replied, rather surprised, and finding herself glad. Zero smirked.
"But of course, Miyuki-chan," he replied. Miyuki glared at him. The shadowy figure heaved Runa into his arms and jumped back into the Iron Kong.
"Hey!" Bit shouted, ignoring the fact that a single gun was aimed at him. He ran after the man who had Runa, but it was too late, he was already inside his Zoid, and the Bahamut began to fire at him. Fortunately, Bit dodged the bullets shot at him, but the two Zoids jumped out of the hole in the hangar and ran off.
"T-they just... they just ran off with Runa and Miyuki!" Leena said, biting her lip.
"Dammit, FOLLOW THEM!" Bit shouted, running into the Liger 0. "Come on, Liger!"
Leena started to run to her GunSniper, when she glanced at Brad, who just stood there with a hard face, his arms folded. She frowned.
"Come on, Brad, she didn't want to be so mean to you, in fact, she was gonna apologize! Come on, we gotta go and get her back! We don't know who those people were, and they could really hurt her!" Leena told him.
"I hurt her. Did it look like I cared?" Brad asked.
"How can you be so heartless at a time like this!?" Leena shouted. Brad sighed. He didn't like the idea of being 'heartless'. Even he had a heart. He made way to the Shadow Fox. Leena smiled, satisfied with her work, and ran to the cockpit of her GunSniper.
"H-hey, what did you do, Zero?!" came Tigra's worried voice. Her face appeared on the screen of Zero's cockpit. He sighed.
"I told you, we were going to rescue my assossiate. We're going back to where we came from, Tigra, and I don't want you to come along!" Zero replied.
"We don't want her, anyway, Zero," came a bitter voice coming from the Iron Kong.
"Who is she, Zero?" Miyuki asked.
"That's Tigra. Ti, don't follow us. We're going somewhere that you shouldn't be. The Star Confederation's base, and you don't belong there!" Zero said.
"Then... then where am I supposed to go?" Tigra asked, following The Bahamut with the TerraCat.
"I don't know. I'm sure you can find somewhere to go around here. I'd hate to see someone like you get tangled up in something that you shouldn't," Zero replied. Tigra sniffled.
"Fine, I see when I'm not wanted. You don't care what I do! I'll see YOU later!" she fumed, running off. Zero glanced behind him, watching the TerraCat run off at full speed. He saw another Zoid getting closer, however.
"Dammit... the Liger is after us!" Zero replied to his partner.
"Don't worry..." the pilot of the Iron Kong spoke. "No one messes with Paul L'Petite!" Zero smirked as Miyuki clutched the back of his seat.
"You're right. If anyone is that stupid, then they SHOULD get hurt," he replied.

Arizda: Yaaaaaaay, I think the plot is coming together. The title will soon speak its name! Ooooh yeeeeah! WHEEE! I can't wait! : p It's NEVER too late to submit characters, by the way. I'm expecting to make this ficcy really long. ^_^ So I'll fit 'em all in there with respectively big responsibilities. In other words, all characters will have a good spot in the story. :) It's as much as their story as it is Runa's is what I like to believe. So keep those reviews comin'! : D *gives Kudo bars to everyone*
Disclaimer: Oooh, you know how this goes! I don't own a lot of stuff. But I DO own Runa, Midnight, the plot, a few blankets, and the stuff that I said that I owned last chapter. :) I still own all of that. And I pwn J00! J/k, just read. ^_^
