Chapter III: Where the Past and Present Meet
Let's have some humorous stuff, maybe.... hopefully..... after a quick stupid flashback.
***
Dive into the heart...
*"Where... am I?" the girl asked herself, looking around (my characters look around a lot!). She stood up. She knew where she was- she had been here once before. Back when she had remembered nothing of her past, back when she had no idea that the Backdraft was her enemy, not her only ally. Back when Shadow had been nothing but a remnant of the Berserk Fury, waiting for his master to return. Not the Dark Kaiser, not the Shadow Kaiser, either, but his one and only master; Raven. That, of course, was not possible. But he could find the Kaiser, and then, with his help, he could find a descendant of Raven's...
...Vega. It was fairly confusing, but, all in all, that was Shadow's real goal. That and the destruction of all humanity on Zi. Except for his true masters. Many people had heard Raven's story; they thought it was ironic, how Shadow had killed Raven's parents and then became his best friend. But the truth was, Shadow hadn't done that. It was none other than Ambient, Hiltz's red organoid. The black organoid couldn't help feeling a bit angry. And neither could a certain human organoid, who stood in the middle of this familiar green field, where the present meets the past. A time and space continuum? No, just a place where the past is... remembered. Where all the shadows remain. Where, in reality, those who are Shadows really ARE. On Zi they look like ghosts, maybe, but here, they're... real. If that's still possible.
The girl looked up. So who was she really... Nanase, or Kylie Cloud? Was it possible that she could be both at the same time, or would she be Nanase forever, the girl who knew nothing of her past, the girl who didn't really care about what was right and what was wrong. Or she could be Kylie, an innocent girl who just wanted to change the past. Because she could have saved her father, could have saved her mother, she could have saved all o the people in the Wind Colony! If only she had known back then... If only...
And there, standing in front of her, was a very familiar person. Another girl, with blonde hair in an awkward ponytail and beautiful red eyes, about eighteen years old with the blue circles (something like that) on her forehead. Fiona... Fiona Alissi Lynett.
Fiona smiled, and Kylie remembered the old stories she had been told, of how the Deathstinger had been destroyed, of how Thomas Richard Schubaltz almost died, and so on. (Oh no! Not a spoiler! I can't tell you what happens, in case you want to wait! Argh!) But then how could Fiona be here? Because she was a Zoidian. (This part's not a spoiler; I made it up, but I predict it does have something to do with the last four episodes) And Zoidians never really die, they just... come back to Zoid Eve. And sometimes they decide to stay there. Other times they decide to go back to loved ones, and other times, they become Shadows. Even less often they simply fade away when their destiny is fulfilled. Whatever fate they choose, they always come back to Zoid Eve, whether to die, disappear, or whatever. Fiona chose to go back to Van Flyheight and her friends. Shortly after this she had formed the Zoidian Guild. Her destiny had been fulfilled, but she decided to simply create her own destiny, and go her own way, not paying attention to the rules.
Things like that tended to get confusing. After Van died, she had nothing left to live for. Their kid, maybe, but Auron (HA! A Final Fantasy name) no longer needed her. He had his own destiny to fulfill.
Destiny... What was Nanase's destiny, anyways?*
"I said, no, I don't think so," repeated Harry, answering Nanase's question.
"Good, 'cause I REALLY wouldn't like to be hit by lightning," smiled Nanase. Just then lightning cracked (still don't know that term!) again and she anime-jumped out of the way with a terrified look on her face.
"I guess I should take those off of you..." said Harry, grabbing for his keys. Immediately lightning started to shoot down to where he was standing. Harry tried to anime-jump into Nanase's arms, but with the handcuffs on, she didn't catch him. She wouldn't have caught him, anyways.
The two shot off to their Zoids, chased by lightning all the way (I'm so evil to my characters). "Zi doesn't like us very much, does it?" said Harry. Nanase yelled something back but thunder prevented Harry from hearing her. Suddenly Harry noticed that Nanase had stopped running. What was she, an idiot or something?
"This- this isn't real lightning, it's artificial!" yelled Nanase.
"Huh?" asked Harry. Then he remembered a fight between the Blitz team and the Tigers team, where Dr. Layon had used the team to try to get his revenge on Dr. Toros. He had put something on one of the Zaber Fangs that had created an artificial thunderstorm and a hurricane-ish thing.... "Oh no... This is not good."
"You're right about that! Now will you get these things off of me?!!"
Harry sweat-dropped and fumbled with his keys, running over to Nanase as lightning shot behind him (hehe. poor Harry and friends. Lightning... that makes me laugh. somewhat). "By the way, what's your name?" he asked, trying to make light of the situation.
"Ky- I mean, Nanase," replied the girl. The bonds of sea and fire were only beginning to grow. (Loriena is a weirdo!)

Dive into the mind...
"Hey, Spring, wake up!" said Bit, looking down at his little friend.
"Wha-?!" shouted Spring, sitting up. She looked at Bit with big black eyes. "Oh! Elen! There you are! I'm so glad I found you!" Spring hugged Bit, who laughed nervously.
"Right, so what did you want?"
"I... you've heard the old stories, right? About Van Flyheight and Fiona?" asked Spring.
"Yeah..."
"And you know about the Death Stinger?"
"Yeah..."
"It's coming, Bit! It's coming back and no one can stop it!" shouted Spring. She started to cry hysterically. Bit eyes Leena, raising an eyebrow. She shrugged.
"Spring, listen to me," put in Leon. "The Death Stinger was destroyed a long, long time ago by Van Flyheight. Twice. It's gone forever. There's no way it could come back-"
"That's where you're wrong." Spring started to calm down a little bit. "Technology can do anything. The Death Stinger's tail was attached to a Whale King that the Backdraft was using during the Royal Cup. Other than that, there are no remains. But with the DNA from the tail, the Death Stinger can be brought back, and someone is going to try to do it. SOON. I can feel it, because I'm a Zoidian..."
"But- Zoids aren't living things!" protested Bit. "They don't have DNA!"
"Your sister is a living thing, Bit," contradicted Spring. "And she's pretty much a Zoid."
"Just- just shut up, Spring, please shut up."

Dive into the core of Zi itself... Zoid Eve.
"Hurry up!" shouted Nanase as Harry unlocked her handcuffs and clipped them back on to his belt. She smiled in relief when suddenly she saw something. But the thing was, it hadn't happened yet. It was about to happen. "H- Harry?!!" she said, staring into space. Before Harry could say anything she transformed into a whitish-blue light (HA! organoid time!) and flew straight at him, knocking Harry out of the way. Two seconds later the artificial lightning struck where he had been, and Nanase returned to normal.
"What the-?" shouted Harry. "What are you?!!"
*"Fiona," started Kylie, "What... what am I?"
"You're a person, Kylie," replied Fiona, still smiling. "You're a person, like me. You may not be a Zoidian, but you're... attached to Zoids. You're sensitive to them, like Zoidians. Kylie, you're a human organoid, but that doesn't make you any different from others. Deep down inside you're like everyone else!"
"Yeah," muttered Kylie. "Deep down inside I'm filled with hatred and anger, just like everyone else."
Fiona's smiled left her face and in turn Kylie saw sympathy instead. Sympathy for this girl who was just like Adrian Donovan; who of course had killed (many!) others. Of course she was just the same as all of the Backdraft officials. There wasn't any difference between her and Commander Altiel. They were all just idiots who cared about no one but themselves.
"You're a human organoid. A Zoid," repeated Fiona.
"Zoids aren't living creatures, and neither am I," answered Kylie. Somewhere out there, there was someone who could, and would, change her mind. Someone.... someone would help her. And it wouldn't be Fiona. The Zoidian was helpless in this situation. All she could do was offer meager support. For now, she'd just have to leave her descendant alone. Maybe she wasn't a Zoidian, but if she wasn't, then why had she come back to Zoid Eve? She was still so young...
...of course. It was destiny that she should go back. But, if she did, then people's lives would be in danger. It wouldn't be Kylie's fault; it was inevitable. The Death Stinger was waiting for a pilot, but it wouldn't be Kylie. She was just a pawn, made to bring it back. And that was what she would do. You can't always change your fate.
***
I am incredibly repetitive and evil to my characters, aren't I?!! Anyways... That is the end of weird Chapter III. So there IS a reason that I gave it a sci-fi genre! Somehow I always manage to have something about the Death Stinger. Always.
***Kitai, Damion, and all other reviewers of my stories: Well.... it's official. Argh. The internet goes bye-bye starting Monday. It's not my fault! Argh! However, be happy, because my brother might be able to get his own internet service, having turned eighteen yesterday, and if he does he'll probably let me use it sometimes. Also, I'll see if I can upload stuff at the library, and I'll keep writing, so if I can upload it there, you'll get nice big chunks every once in a while. YAY!!! And at the same time, argh.***
