Disclaimer: Well, let's see, if I'm writing a fanfic, then this MUST mean I
don't own Zoids.
I hope you have all enjoyed this story, because I have too. It seems like something that I wouldn't write. Even my brother agrees it's a good piece of writing. ^________^ I'm very happy, as you can see. I read the first chapter a little while ago and I couldn't believe how well I wrote it! Enough of that, here's chapter 12. WHAT? We're on chapter 12 already?! YEAH! All right, and 55 reviews last time I checked! Now I'm happier! ^__________________^
Raven Falls in Love
Finally Fighting
Chapter 12
"When are we gonna be there?" Melinda asked for the 10th time.
Raven breathed in really fast, getting ready to yell at her, but then said rather softly, "Just a few more minutes." Melinda smiled. She was finally going to get to learn how to pilot a Zoid.
"I SEE THE BASE!!!" Yelled Melinda when a square, gray looking base appeared on the horizon.
Raven flinched at the sudden yell, but then relaxed. 'I shoulda expected that.' He thought.
"Go faster! So fast they don't detect you on radar!" Melinda yelled.
"Hmm, good idea. Never thought of that." He speeded up and was at the base in 10 seconds flat. He shot at the garage, and jumped out of his cockpit, and made a run for a black Hellcat. He jumped into that cockpit, and then started the engine up.
"Shadow, you know what to do!" Shadow took control of the Genobreaker and bursted towards the Southeast. The black Hellcat streaked behind it, almost catching up to the Genobreaker.
"What the hell was that?" asked a soldier.
"I have no idea, but all's they wanted was a Hellcat." answered another soldier.
"Awright, I have my own Zoid now!" Melinda shouted in joy.
"Ok Shadow, you can stop here. Melinda, get in here." Raven commanded.
Melinda hurriedly jumped out of the Genobreaker, nearly tripped running at the Hellcat, and finally jumped to the cockpit.
"Alright, how do I start it?" Melinda asked once she had learned how the seat belt worked.
"It actually pretty much starts when the seat belt clicks (Um is that right? Cuz whenever I watch the show they never push any button or anything, so I'm not very sure.). See, on the screen those circles?" Raven said, pointing.
"Yeah, I see." Melinda said. "What do these mean?" asked Melinda, pointing at the little graphs that had just formed.
"That one shows you power level, this one shows the heat and stuff, this one." And Raven told her about the Zoids buttons and how to move it and all that other good stuff. (Um, I hope those graphs meanings were right, heh heh.)
A month later Melinda had all the basic stuff down. She could actually pilot the Zoid pretty well, and was now going to have to learn on her own.
"I can't think of anything else to teach you. You've passed most of the tests I've given you, so I'd say that you're going to have to learn everything else by experience. We'll work on a few other things though, like your aiming." Raven said, grinning.
Melinda grinned back. She wasn't that good at aiming her guns yet.
"Let's put you're skills to the test." Raven suddenly said. Melinda's muscles tightened, she thought she would have to fight Raven now. "Let's go to the south where there are a lot of bandits at your level. Let's see how well you fair against those people." Melinda's muscles loosened now. She nodded her head yes and got in her Hellcat. She clicked the seat belt and put her hands on the levers. She moved foreword a little, waiting for Raven.
"Go on ahead, I'll catch up. Just go full speed to the south." Raven said.
"Alright." Melinda answered while pushing the levers foreword, then started to go really fast.
Ten minutes later, Raven was right beside her. They came upon a forest, a dark one at that. Melinda stopped abruptly. "What forest is that?" She demanded.
"Uh, it really doesn't have a name except 'The southern forest.' Why?" Raven asked uncertainly.
He saw her Hellcat back up. "I heard that once people go into that forest, they never come out the same. Some people suddenly become very violent, and some become mental." She answered.
"Don't worry, that's all rumors. I've been in that forest a lot and it hasn't changed me a bit. Besides, those people were alone when they went in, not with other people. C'mon, let's go." Raven said, advancing.
Melinda stayed where she was. "C'mon, you can trust me." He said in a soft voice. "I won't let anything happen to you."
Melinda melted by the tone of his voice. She smiled then said, "Ok, let's go." She followed Raven into the dark, damp forest. Her Hellcat roared in frustration as her hind leg got caught again.
"It's ok girl. Just watch your step." Melinda crooned. Raven smiled at her sweetness to her Zoid. Shadow, being outside the Genobreaker, also fell behind. Shadow accidentally fell in a trap hole.
"Oh, Shadow!" Melinda yelled. Shadow blasted out of the hole, then started roaring at it because it was just there.
"Shadow, give up. It can't hear you!" Raven said to the organoid. "Get in here." Raven told Shadow. Shadow jumped into his place in the Zoid.
Suddenly, a new voice rang up. "'Ey! Whot you doin ere?" It asked. A vision of a fat, dirty man popped up on Melinda and Raven's screens.
"Here's your first battle." Raven whispered to Melinda.
"Ey! You gonna answer me or whot?" He asked again. "Pickin' a fight, eh? Let's see how the 'Ellcat fairs, then that fancy dinosaur."
The guy obviously didn't know that Raven had a Genobreaker. "I'm Tom, let this be a fair fight, eh?" Asked Tom.
"Let's go!" Melinda said, getting ready. Tom charged his Dark Horn towards Melinda. She waited for the last second before dodging the charge.
She looked back and did a smirk towards the Dark Horn. She quickly started to zigzag through the trees, trying to confuse the Dark Horn.
Frustrated and confused, Tom yelled at Melinda that she was cheating. Suddenly, from above, the Hellcat appeared and took a swipe at the Zoid. The Dark Horn fell to it's knees, then got back up. It fell back down again as Melinda smashed her paw on it's head again, this time really damaging the Zoid.
"Awright! Awright! You win! Just don't damage this Zoid any more, please, I beg you!" Tom pleaded.
Melinda stopped her Hellcat, quite pleased with her work. Raven came back down, furious. "Why didn't you finish him off?!" He yelled while the Dark Horn fled.
"He begged for mercy, and I gave him another chance. What's wrong with that?" Melinda asked.
"Fine, I'll finish him myself." Raven said, getting his Particle Gun ready.
"RAVEN! DON'T YOU DARE HURT THAT MAN!" Melinda screamed.
Raven lowered his gun. "Fine, but the next one we meet, you will finish them off." He said.
"Ok. But I don't have to kill them, do I?" Melinda asked.
"No, just pretty much destroy their Zoid or until it's in no fighting condition." Raven answered.
Well, what ya guys think? My brother helped me pick out which Zoid Melinda was going to fight first. Now I don't even know why I mentioned him. He really wanted to be mentioned, though.. But anyways, tell me if I made any mistakes and suggestions are always welcome. ^_^ Please REVIEW!!!
