"Well it's about time you guys came! Shesh, the least you coulda done was leave a note or something so that way we could eat!" Moonbay hissed as Van and Fiona returned to their spots.

"Sorry Moonbay, I could have sworn I left my purse in the Gustav," Fiona apologized in a small voice.

She stared down at her plate; it wasn't any fish that she could see. The large plate was covered in long noodles with white sauce oozing over them, it looked delicious. Fettuccini Alfredo. Ym ym, and here she thought she was going to have to hurt Van. She could have kissed him she was so happy. Well, she'd kiss him anyways.

Speaking of the devil, Fiona glanced up to see Van inhaling the Fettuccini Alfredo with one hand and shoving bread sticks down his throat with the other. The wide, white, sloppy smile on his face, told her he was as happy as she was, if not more. Which in itself was nothing new, Van always ate like a pig.

Dinner was quiet and uneventful, with the exception of Van and Irvine fighting over the last of the breadsticks, which was resolved peaceful by the watchful waiter, who brought in another basket steaming of breadsticks. Other than that, the evening was enjoyable.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The desert air blew over Xena in the tent, as she shivered and crossed her arms over her chest, Draco's organoid, Tiamat was sound asleep beside his master, as Draco poked at the fire he made, the yellow glow reflecting off those dark hazel eyes. She got up groggily and went over to the fire to sit across from her kidnapper. "I can't believe I'm out here in a desert, IN this barely there outfit. Can't you just bring me back to the hotel and come back tomorrow to kidnap me?"

Draco gave a quick and blank glance over to her, and sighed. He didn't want to really say 'Oh I'm going to seal you up again so you don't blow up this world', so he kept his mouth shut, as Xena shot him a death glare.

The Goosebumps trailed up the Ancient Zoidian's arms as another wind blew past, making her shiver and whine. "I'm cold."

With that, Draco got up and went into the tent, returning with a bundle and placing it over her shoulders. It was a spare blanket, one he usually carried around, as Xena gave a blink and stared over at him as he went back to his seat. "Thank you."

She didn't know why he was being so kind now, but she didn't milk it for two reasons, one) who knew what he'd do for all she knew he could just attack her or do a musical number on her Second) she was too tired. Draco looked up at the stars, then over his shoulder as he thought he heard a rustle behind his zoid. He hadn't noticed the figure, and neither did the organiod, until both people found their worlds go black, and when Tiamat woke up, he noticed they were gone, and found dragging marks from their locations. Man, why did he have to be such a deep sleeper?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The world was dark and blank with a horrid sound blanketing the thin, icy air. The sound buzzed through his ears, his chest burned like someone had turned a fireplace on in it. His breath came in short, painful gasps. Raven had no idea what was happening to him. It was like his lungs shut down on him.

"Make him stop," commanded an annoyed voice.

Pain rippled through his body as a sharp foot struck him on his side. And in fact it did shut him up for a while, but his painful wheeze returned in full flare. "Maybe if you turn him onto his side he'll shut up."

Raven felt his body being kicked onto he was on his side; pain surged through him like a tidal wave. Soon he was coughing up some watery fluids, his head was in total pain. The kind of pain that stopped you from thinking properly.

"Well damn, that didn't work. Hit him again."

Two more swift kicks in his side.

"You jerk! Stop it! Stop it you jerk, leave him the hell alone!" cried an awfully familiar voice.

"Well well, I was being to wonder when you'd decide to make an entrance. Welcome."

"Go to hell. You, Godzilla, leave Raven alone. Hasn't your mother ever told you not to pick on a down man?" Xena hissed.

"Well uhh, no."

"My," Hiltz said, very amused. He glanced over at Raven, who was panting heavily, kicked him on the side and smirked. "the way he's acting one would think someone dropped him into a river."

Xena scowled; there were two men, each holding one of her arms behind her back and she was fighting like no tomorrow to get free. Draco was at her left, in the same condition she was. Only it seemed he was fighting to get to her. It was sweet-in a weird messed up way, that is.

She couldn't stand it, there was the man she had only known for a couple of days being viciously beaten, the same man who had awakened her and inadvertently saved her life. Her anger forgotten, Xena stomped on one guy's foot and with her free arm slapped the other guy and raced to Raven's side.

"You little bitch!" cried Bob, the unlucky fellow whose foot fell victim to the silver haired Ancient Zoidian.

Xena got onto her knees and shook Raven by his shoulders. He was obviously in a daze, probably with no idea where he was and what was going on around him. One eye was open revealing a dull almost lifeless purple pupil and the other was half open. Never before he had looked so sickly. Xena was enraged.

"You jerk." she looked up at Hiltz, who was smiling, with total disgust. He made her sick and she would make him pay big time. "How dare you-what the hell do you want from us?"

Hiltz titled his head, a signal for his men to come, and watched Xena as she glared at him while every once and a while steal a quick glance at the bounty hunter who'd put a monkey wrench in his plans. Oh well, he'd deal with him soon enough, now he had more important things to worry about. Like how he was going to outsmart Xena.

"How funny you should ask," he replied, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"How funny you'd look when I punch your head in," Xena said quietly to herself. She glared at him and slowly stood up.

A thug with an electrifying stick appeared behind her and tried to strike her with it. Xena swung her hips to the side and grabbed the stick out of the thug's surprised hands; electric shocks surged through her body as she bit back a howl. Ignoring the pain, Xena thrust the butt of the stick into his gut and whirled around and attacked him with the stick. He screamed.

"That was simple enough."

She observed that he had on thick heavy leather gloves. For a damn good reason too, the whole friggin stick flowed with electricity. Man, that Hiltz sure had a whole bunch of goons. They didn't give up. She wondered, who would work for him? He was a madman. A dangerous one for that matter. Plus she didn't like the way he looked at her, like she was a piece of meat or something.

Raven sat up and stared at Xena in disbelief as another thug jumped out from behind her, she gabbed her elbow in his stomach and struck his face with the back of her fist, he toppled over. She did it all without even turning around. She twisted the stick in her hand like some kind of karate stick.

"You okay?" she asked suddenly.

Raven blinked and slowly mulled over her question. "Erm.I guesso.."

"Good."

"Xena," Hiltz began, his dark eyes glimmering with mischief. "I have an offer for you. One you can't possibly refuse."

Xena scowled and kneeled next to Raven, the stick still in hand. She didn't trust that guy for a second, now she could see why Raven complained about him. He had something up his sleeve.

"I'm listening."

"I will let your friends go, no harm done. Under one condition."

"And what might that be?" she inquired tensely. Xena didn't want to ask it but she had no choice.

Raven shook his head several times for his brain to get into gear, what the hell was going on? Hiltz was actually going to let them go? No, there had to be a catch. There just had to be, then why would he have gone through all the trouble of getting them here in the first place? He glanced over Xena's shoulder and saw Draco slam his fist into a guys jaw. He narrowed his eyes; he was forever surrounded by idiots.

"In return, you will stay with me and be my queen. And rule the new world with me," Hiltz said simply, folding his arms across his chest.

Raven's jaw dropped; he couldn't be serious! A new world? A queen? Why the hell would anyone in the right mind want Xena to be his queen? It was insane, then again Hiltz was obviously insane.

Raven's and Draco's lives rested in her hands, their lives rested on her hands. It would kill her if she let anything happen to them no matter how much they got on her nerves. It wouldn't be fair to them if she selfishly declined, what would happen to them? But being Hiltz's queen, well that was just unheard of! Not to mention sick, cruel and unusual punishment. Would her friends do the same for her? She didn't know.

She took in a deep breath and slowly straightened. "Okay, but you have to promise me that nothing will happen to them. That they will have complete and total immunity from the war you plan on starting."

"Consider it done."

"What kind of jewelry do you have?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"My God Van! Take a look at this!"

Van stopped what he was doing and blinked. He had been working on the repairs on the Blade Liger; currently making some adjustments on it's left leg before Fiona raced into the hanger.

"Er.okay-" before the words even got a chance to come out of his mouth, Fiona grabbed his hand and led him to the Control room.

Many seconds and bruised soldiers later, the steel automatic doors opened revealing several figures all standing in front of the large monitor. What was going? Van wondered, everyone was so tense. Why? He suddenly understood why:

"The time of the Empire and the Republic is over. No more will there be two nations fighting over this continent. There will be just one giant nation, over this continent and over all of Zi. A new world order is here, there's no sense in trying to fight the inevitable. Our people, the Ancient Zoidians, will rule again and take back what is rightfully ours. No one can stop us, no one. Not even the great hero of Zi, Van Flyheight." There was Hiltz, his hand resting on his hip, he wore a victorious smirk.

"Hiltz?!" Van cried out incredulously and promptly received a unanimous "SHHH". "Well sorry," he said in a small voice.

Standing beside Hiltz was none other than Xena herself, her hand gingerly on Hiltz's arm. Her expression was unreadable, heavily diamond studded bracelets and rings graced her hand. While many gold and silver necklaces graced her neck, she looked filthy rich not mention stunningly beautiful. Van bet those were Ancient Zoidian jewelry.

"Your time is over. It is time to step down and give raise to beginning of a new world order, one that will change all of Zi. You are all welcome to be apart of this revolution of time. Those who oppose us will be annihilated with out mercy. Once he is revived there will be no turning back, keep that in mind Emperor Rudolph and Madame President. It will come in handy in the near future."

The message ended leaving a shocked crowd. Silence was soon broken by a wave of murmurs.

"Did you hear that? What is that madman talking about?" Moonbay asked excitedly.

Only Moonbay could get hyped by that kind of news, her brown eyes glittered with excitement. Not that Van could blame her, this was very unusual. But one thing that troubled him was when Hiltz said, '..once he is revived there will be no turning back.'. Once who was revived?

Worst of all, his name was mentioned in it. He'd have to prove to Hiltz that he could kick his Ancient Zoidian ass any day of the week. He was mocking him, Van knew it.

Van turned to Fiona, who was muttering something to Thomas. "Ya see that?"

She nodded and said in DUH kind of voice, "Of course, Van. Everyone saw that."

"Well I know that! I'm not retarded here! No, what I meant was did you see Xena? I wonder why she was with Hiltz."

"She's an Ancient Zoidian freak just like the rest of 'em, no offense Miss Fiona!" Thomas added quickly.

Van narrowed his eyes at Thomas, it became clear that the affection that Thomas felt for Fiona had to stop. He couldn't afford to lose the love of his life to the younger Shubaltz.

"Thomas please, cut it out. This is no time to flirt with my girlfriend," he hissed. "We have a world to save here."

Thomas looked as though he'd been struck by lightening, '.flirt with my girlfriend.'. Miss Fiona was Van Flyheight's girlfriend?! Oh dear God! Then again, he thought sadly, he had seen them kiss. Why did the main guy always get the girl?

Fiona kicked Van in the shin and shot him a 'Why-Did-You-Have-To-Go-And-Say- That?' look. "Thomas ignore what Van said, he wasn't sensitive. It's just all this pressure, it's gone to his head. Hiltz must be stopped, we can not let him take anymore lives."

"Any more? You mean he's already killed?" the Republican Lieutenant said incredulously. How come he was always the last one to know everything?

"Yes Van," she said, annoyance flooding out of her voice. "Where have you been the last two hours? Never mind, don't answer that. Hiltz means what he says, unfortunately, I'm not sure what exactly he has up his sleeve but I do know it's not good. The leaders of both countries are not going to comply with his demands, they need us to go in there and get rid of him. With Xena on his side, that's going to be no easy task. Organiods will be useless in this battle."

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

"Goddamn it! Goddamn it! Goddamn it! I'm gonna fucking kill him! Fuck! I'm going to fucking kill both of them! God fucking damn it!"

Raven stomped his feet on the hard, dirt, desert ground as he paced. Not only was he literally thrown out of the Valley of the Rare hertz, but he was thrown out with that stupid Draco. What had possessed Xena to do such a thing? He wanted to know. He also wanted to ring Hiltz's neck and personally kill all of his hench men one at a time.

"Maybe if you keep cursing long enough someone might actually care," Draco said dully.

The warrior shot him a dirty look and continued pacing, he stomped his foot on the ground once again. This was not happening, Raven told himself, Xena was not under Hiltz's control. She was not going to help him rule the world. Nope not at all. Aw shit, who was he kidding? She WAS under Hiltz's control and she was gonna help his rule the world.

"Jesus tap-dancing Christ! We gotta do something!" he burst out.

Draco arched an eyebrow. "We? I was not aware of such a thing. What has brought you to this interesting conclusion? I'd like to know."

His sarcastic remarks went unheard for Raven was in deep thought. Pacing was good for clearing up his thoughts. "They've got Shadow, and I think I saw Specula there too. So that means Reese is probably there too, There has to be a way to bust Shadow out, get the Genobreaker, and raise all hell for that asshole Hiltz."

"Good plan, but how do you expect to do all that before the Deathsaurer is resurrected?" asked a female voice.

Raven whirled around to see Reese standing besides Draco, clutching her arm. She looked defeated, and unsurprisingly Specula was not with her. What would Hiltz want with the organiods?

"Reese," he growled. "What are you doing here?"

She smiled softly. "I got released. The Dark Kyser kicked me out and kept Specula."

"What do you mean by 'before the Deathsaurer is resurrected'?" Draco asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. Reese sighed and stared up at the sky, clouds rolled through the inky gray color. "Hiltz wants to resurrect the Deathsaurer, he is possessed by it's evil. But it is in the lost city of Gylos, and thank God he can't open the gates to it. Only one-person can, that person, unsurprisingly, is none other than Fiona. As long as she's with Van, the gates to Gylos can't be opened, therefore no Deathsaurer."

Raven snorted. "That's not surprising. Knowing Hiltz he'll probably find a plan to get her just like he did with Xena. But what the hell may I ask does he want with our organiods?"

"He doesn't have my organiod," Draco pointed out. "Knowing Tiamat he's probably still asleep."

"Oh shut up."

Oh Raven, Reese thought as she watched him continue to pace. She was convinced he was crumbling on the pressure, not that she blamed him or anything. He'd protected Xena with his life but now he lost her, in fact everyone lost her, and he was probably blaming himself every step of the way. Shadow was also taken from him, another harsh blow, Raven had no one to turn to except for Reese and she knew he'd refuse even if his life depended on it. This wasn't good for either of them.

Draco shrugged and sat down on the ground. He'd failed in more ways than one; he was supposed to get Xena and put her back to sleep before she destroyed the world, which she was in the process of doing in fact. And he'd fallen in love with her, did she feel the same way about him? Why of all things did this have to happen to him? He sighed, he'd have to get her before anymore damage could be done.

"I don't know Raven, but I do think it has something to do with Xena."

Raven paused in mid step, he wanted to smack her. No friggin' duh it had something to do with Xena! God, he really was forever surrounded by idiots.

"No frickin' DUH!!" he snapped.

Reese arched a blue eyebrow, he was more difficult than usual. It was his way of protecting himself, she figured. "I know that Raven. I'm just saying that Shadow will be used against us, along with Specula."

"But not Tiamat," Draco pointed out once again.

Now both Reese and Raven wanted to smack him. Raven let out an exaggerated sigh and continued pacing. He needed a plan and he needed one fast. The Genobreaker was back in Mastique, which was somewhere in the western portion of the Empire. They were a couple hundred miles from the Valley of the Rare Hertz, which was, he believed, in the Empire as well. There was a good thousand miles to cross to and fro, it would take weeks to get there and back. Weeks he didn't have, a day at most.

"Oh shut up!" they shouted in unison.

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

"C'mon Zeke! They've traced the transmission to the Valley of the Rare Hertz, we're gonna be going at top speed to get there sometime before night fall."

The sound of his feet running down the hallway was barely heard for he was running so fast his feet hardly touched the ground. The silver organiod trotting along by his side. They had to stop that madman from destroying the world, no he'd fought too hard to end the war and maintain the peace to lose it now. A lone solider walked to the hanger, screamed and flung himself to the side of the wall just before the Lieutenant knocked into him.

"Sorry 'bout that!" Van called over his shoulder, his pace never slowing.

Once inside of the Blade Liger, Van did a quick scan of the area he was supposed to be crossing. The last thing he needed was to be halted by some powerful zoid thus giving the enemy a bigger window of time to destroy the world. Thankfully there were no really powerful zoids as far as the scanners could pick up, they hadn't been a hundred percent correct but he'd trust them for the moment.

"Alright let's mobilize."

The zoid howled its approval and took off at full speed out of the base. That girl was obviously a close friend of Fiona's in the past, and a close friend of Fiona's was a close friend of his and he would do everything in his power to stop her before she ruined everything, the future, Zi, everything. Since he was in it for the long hull and intended to make to the Valley of the Rare Hertz as soon as possible, Van needed something to rest his hyperactive nerves. He pressed the 'E' shaped button.

"It's my life! It's now or never 'cause I ain't live forever!!"

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Xena awoke in a bedroom flooded with light, the wind whipped the cream colored drapes easily. She sat up which resulted in a head rush, grasped her head and surveyed her surroundings: there was a wooden chair and modest room door was closed. The breeze blew against her skin. She shuddered and looked down at herself to see a hideous white flannel nightgown hanging on her lean frame.

"Dear God!"

She gasped at the monstrosity clinging to her flesh, this was worse than being in prison. The gown went to her calves with poofed up sleeves that rounded on her shoulders. It was the most ugliest thing she had ever laid eyes on..besides Hiltz.. Not even her grandmother would wear anything like this, the gown that is, and her grandmother wore the tackiest things ever to walk Zi. Xena looked like a girl clown on crack, the sides of her hair was braided into bun on the top of her head. She was appalled.

The last thing she remembered was feeling weak after that announcement they did on the com link to all of Zi, Hiltz had held her hand and lead her into a room. All she knew was that she definitely was NOT wearing that monstrosity when she was awake, someone had to have changed her out of her other clothes and into that god-forbidden gown. She was going to get to the bottom of this.

Xena kicked open the door and marched into the hall, to her surprise the floor right outside of the door was solid rock like in that cave. Where they still in that cursed cave place? She hoped not. With her bare feet as the guide, the Ancient Zoidian had no idea whatsoever where she was going. She was going to find Hiltz and demand a shopping spree, every queen needs an impressive wardrobe and he couldn't possibly deny his queen material happiness.

Finally, she found him, standing down the hall in a group of about three men, talking business no doubt. His back was to her. Good, she had the element of surprise on her side.

Scowling, Xena tapped Hiltz's shoulder and when he turned around hitched the bottom of the hideous excuse for a nightgown to her waist, her white underwear in plain sight. She didn't know what possessed her to do what happened next, she had once heard Van the Major Hottie do it.

"RRHHHAAAA!!!!!!!!!" she shrieked.

Hiltz looked shocked and couldn't take his eyes off of her. "What are you talking about?"

"This!" she lifted it higher, her stomach exposed. "What the hell is this?! Who died and let you choose my wardrobe?"

The two men turned pink to their ears, just like their boss they were glued to her. Never before had they seen so much of a woman in so little time, the losers.

"Up here buddy," Xena grabbed Hiltz's hand and pointed it to her eyes. "Answer my frickin' question!"

"I don't know what your talking about," he said after a long pause.

His answer did not seem to subdue her in the least. She was enraged and didn't care who knew it. Maybe it was a mistake to take her; Hiltz never imagined she would be such a handful. No wonder Raven was so pissed with her, although it was easy to see they had something between them. Oh well, it'd all pay off when all living things on Zi were destroyed.

"Bull shit, you know damn well what I'm talking about. Not even my grandmother would wear this-this-monstrosity!"

"I think it looks just fine on you."

Xena gasped and debated for a second whether or not she should slap him across the face. The bastard, lying to her like that, when she was queen she'd get him back big time.

"Liar!" she shouted, stomping her feet on the ground for emphasis.

"Ow!" a sea of obscenity flowed from her mouth as Xena hopped up and down, nursing each of her bruised feet one at a time. Hiltz never heard so many curse words together in one sentence before, she was definitely something else.

From the shadows, Ambient and the other organiods, Shadow and Specula, watched the scene with mild amusement. Watching humans make total fools of themselves was a favorite pastime of all organiods. Ambient didn't understand why that silver haired girl was so important to the master; she was nothing more than a pain in the butt. So she was an Ancient Zoidian, big freakin' whoop, who cared?

Shadow glared at the red organiod, whom he never was fond of, and growled. He was in no position to threaten him but it was worth a shot.

Ambient just dismissed him with the wave of his paw. He rubbed his paws together anxiously; he couldn't wait until show time.

*&*&*&**&*&*&

"Van, Irvine and Thomas are backing you up right now," Fiona's image said as it flickered on the com link.

The black haired warrior nodded and glanced uneasily at the zoid controls; the music had been turned low so no one could know that he had been blasting rock, luckily for Zeke who wasn't a fan of Bon Jovi.

Fiona shook a stray hair out of her face and frowned. "I don't think it was that good of an idea that you went off by yourself without the others, you don't know what you're looking for," she winced like she was in pain. "it's just-just too risky. I don't like it..."

"Take a chill pill, Fiona, no sweat. Don't worry about me, this whole mess will be settled soon and then we can go back to having semi normal lives. Go to the movies.take long strolls in the park.." Van trailed off thoughtfully.

"I wouldn't be too sure," she said quietly, her eyes looked on something below the monitor.

Just then the radar picked up an unknown zoid, Zeke roared in alarm. But from what the eye could see, the coast was clear, the only thing moving in the desert was a lone tumbleweed. Then it stopped, the tumbleweed, like something had stepped on it. It was big, whatever that zoid was it was definitely big.

All contact with the base and Fiona was abruptly cut off. The constant beeping of the radar was beginning to drive him mad.

"Yes goddammit! I know there is a zoid out there!" Van shouted at the controls, which just beeped in reply.

"Stop it!"

Beep.

"Yes I KNOW!!"

Beep.

Van was starting to pull at his hair but stopped when Zeke told him he was beginning to scare him. The possessed radar beeped victoriously at him.

"I can't take it anymore! Shut up!!"

Beep.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Beep!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Tiamat glanced around the remains of the camp sight for any signs of his master and Xena, but unsurprising all he found was drag marks. Using his expert sense of smell, he followed the tracks smack dab into a big, awfully familiar looking blue Blade Liger.

He blinked, *What is going on here?*

The Blade Liger jerked to one side and lifted its paw limply, it's mighty head drooped. Tiamat blinked again and debated whether or not to investigate or to go on his merry way like he hadn't seen a thing. He trotted up in front of the awkward looking zoid and cocked his head to one side.

Inside of the cockpit, that kid what was his name again..oh yeah, Van Flyheight was banging his head on the controls. Zeke was telling him to calm down and that everyone once in and a while lost their cool with machines. But Tiamat doubted the boy heard him due to all the banging. Man, that was going to leave a mark.

Tiamat winced as the Blade Liger toppled over on it's side, should he help out? Nah, he'd kick back and enjoy the show.

"Goddammit Zeke! I hate this! I hate this, I hate computers! I hate zoid radar! I just hate everything!"

*There, there, master. Just relax, c'mon inhale exhale. Just inhale and exhale and everything will be much better.*

The Liger growled mildly as if to say "hey uh.you guys, what about me?" and Tiamat snickered. They were even more pathetic than that Raven kid and his evil organiod, Shadow, whom Tiamat despised with a passion.

Something from behind him caught his attention; Tiamat whirled around to see a Gun sniper appear from seemingly nowhere. It hissed and tried to slam its foot down on the tan organiod, but he moved just in the knick of time.

"Put your hands up!" shouted the Red Gun Sniper.

Tiamat waved his fist angrily at the zoid, who did he think was? Trying to run over him like that? Shesh, some zoids these days no respect for the organiods.

The Blade Liger's head snapped up, it looked extremely out of place lying on it's side, it's head up. Maybe that'll knock some sense into the pilot, Van Flyheight, Tiamat snickered at his own joke.

*I made a funny!*

"Jigga what?" The zoid was now on it's belly, struggling to get back on all fours.

"Come on boy, I don't have all day you know," a female voice snapped impatiently.

The same confused response. "Jigga what?"

Tiamat looked up at the imposing Gun Sniper and bet this was one of Hiltz's mindless drone zoids. It was nothing fancy, the Liger could easily defeat it. That is, if it had the right tools.

"How I can put my hands up if I'm in a zoid?" Van asked meekly.

The zoid tossed it's head impatiently to the side and growled. He had it, Tiamat actually had an idea, he raced up to the Blade Liger and hopped up and down to get it's attention.

"Get lost organiod," the woman hissed.

*No! Kiss mine!* Tiamat glared at the red zoid over his shoulder then returned his attention the Blade Liger.

"Eh? What is it, boy?" the zoid cocked it's head to one side.

Man, he really must have hit his head to hard. Tiamat made a motion for Zeke to get out but judging the bewildered sounds he was getting Van didn't get it. He growled and hopped up and down again, swinging his little arms.

"What do you want.wait a tic.oh my God! You're the organiod that helped Raven steal my Liger!"

Tiamat smacked his forehead, not even he was that dumb. Zeke inside of the Liger growled that he didn't want to let the other organiod take control.

"Good thinking, Zeke," the Blade Liger looked up at the almost forgotten Gun Sniper. "If you want me, baby, then you gotta catch me."

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
