Chapter XVII: Dearest
"Akira?" asked Neos, watching his friend. "Akira?!!! Akira!" he shouted. "DANG IT, NO!" (wrote the actual word, but fixed it... hehe... silly me.) "You..."
"She's not really-?!" asked Ayumi from her green overheated Liger Zero X. Eira stared in disbelief, still fairly dazed.
Sylvia sighed as she purposely disabled her Rev Raptor. There was nothing more she could do... it was all up to Akira and Neos now.
Brad watched, lowering his eyes. Naomi would probably feel like Neos did now if he used Shadow mode, knowing that the Shadow Fox's had never been properly tested...
Jamie was still unconscious, but Spring watched from the Hover Cargo. She didn't think this was a very good idea.
The Deathstinger turned. So... she was trying to turn herself into a Zoid Core. An admirable and courageous feat, but still an incredibly foolish one. One similar to what happened to Hiltz years ago, when Zoids Eve was activated. Only, because she was a Chosen, part of Zoids Eve was with her, and so it was not necessary to activate it in order to do such a thing...
Apparently she hoped to then merge with the Orudios, boosting its strength and firepower... But at the same time she would make it more vulnerable, weakening its pilot! Or, perhaps, she might strengthen him, for Neos would feel more duty to not let his Zoid be destroyed...
Only one thing to do, then!
The Deathstinger shot at the Orudios while Neos was distracted, hindering it from stopping the ancient Zoid. As expected, it lowered all of its guns at the Zoidian...
...before long, firing, throwing dust and sand everywhere...
"Neos!" Eira shouted with sudden energy. "She's not going back to Zoids Eve!"
"W- what?!!" cried Neos.
"Do something!" shouted Hitoshi. With what little force he had left, his Zoid fired at the Orudios to snap Neos out of his state of shock.
Were they too late?!!!
***
"Huh?" asked Leena, Bit, and Dr. Toros.
One moment the little sphere had been fighting viciously, and winning, but the next its organoid had flown straight out of it in the direction of the Hover Cargo. The Sphere had fallen to the ground, though it had only been hovering about a meter above anyways.
"Wha..." mumbled Bit. "Hey, Kylie. Kylie?"
The Dibison, already fused with his sister, turned around and began to run after it.
"Well..." sighed Bit. "I guess we have no choice but to follow."
Dr. Toros nodded. He hadn't really been listening, he was just thinking about why a wild organoid without a pilot would abandon a good fight, just like that. Maybe it WASN'T wild, like he had originally thought. "I think that organoid was responding to someone's call..." he said.
"Yeah, okay," said Bit, trying to get Liger to keep up with the Dibison, which had suddenly grown abnormally fast. "Sheesh... I hope Kylie's alright..."
The doc laughed. "As an organoid gains experience, their powers become stronger and they're able to do more things. Like Liger."
Liger roared in agreement (lately I haven't been treating him like an/THE Ultimate X!), continuing to run. "Do you think that means we can figure out how to use that last armor soon?" asked Bit.
Doc shrugged. "I'm not sure, Bit, but... we should do more research first. By the way..."
"Yeah?"
"I think I've found a way to use the old armors again, only they'd probably be even more powerful..."
"So Liger actually has six different CAS systems now?!!"
"That's what I'm thinking..."
***
"So, Taro..." mumbled Sayo, picking up the pieces of the broken glass.
"Yeah?" asked her twin brother, reaching down to help.
"Do ya know where they put our Zoids?!!"
Taro laughed. "We don't need them anymore."
"What?" Sayo dumped the pieces into a garbage can and turned back to look at him.
"Whenever they got a chance, the Backdraft made sure we were kept apart," said Taro nervously. "Because their experiment might have worked... and they were afraid of what might happen if..."
Sayo looked away as she began to leave the room. "Yeah, I understand. All this time I've felt as though a part of me was missing, but it's a much bigger part than I ever imagined..." She sighed. "It'd been so long since we had last saw each other..."
"So whaddaya say we check out of here? My wrist'll be fine..."
"Yeah..." mumbled Sayo. She grinned. "Twin Moons, right?"
"Twin Moons..."
***
It was dusk, and the twin moons of Zi were shining brightly as Neos watched the Deathstinger burrow underground, its job done for now. He didn't try to stop it, though it was kicking up even more dust. He wanted it to. He didn't want to see what had happened to his dear friend...
Of course, they had started out hating each other more than anything else, anywhere, but not that long ago all that had changed. The Chosen's determination had been so intriguing that they had began to realize that they were wrong, Kage was wrong... Perhaps they had never liked each other because they didn't want to disobey him, because they truly believed that emotions were nonexistent, even though their hearts told them otherwise...
"Heck..." said Neos. "I can't take it anymore... I have to get away from here."
"Zoids Eve..." mumbled Sylvia. "No."
"Neos!" called Hitoshi, forcing his Zoid up to go after the other Zoidian. "You can't go yet- how do you know she's gone? She could still be here on Zi!"
"Yeah, and maybe Faye's alive and well!" shouted Neos angrily. This was really happening, wasn't it...?
"She is," laughed Sylvia.
"What?" asked Hitoshi. His Zoid stopped. "How can you know this for sure?!!" His eyes lit up, a rare occasion for someone who was often so cold.
"Because I made Twilight save her." Sylvia reactivated her Zoid. "That was before I became a Shadow-"
"Where is she?!!!"
"The Backdraft, but I'm not sure..."
"Zoids Eve, she's alive..." mumbled Hitoshi. He didn't know what to say.
"Let's just hope the ZBC got my message," said Brad, trying to change the subject, which was, frankly, making him uncomfortable. "(Expletive), look...!"
"I... don't think I should..." mumbled Neos. "Dang.... Akira."
"Rrr."
Neos looked down at the silver organoid emerging from the cloud of dust. It walked up to the Orudios. "Twilight, where were you?" he asked quietly.
The organoid stared at the ground as the dust finally cleared.
Neos swore under his breath. "(Expletive)... what've we done, Trinity...?" He laughed. "None of this would ever have happened if I hadn't killed Van Flyheight. Dang."
"Neos..." mumbled Eira. "She said to tell you that... she loved you..." She stared in disbelief. "I guess that was it?"
Neos forced himself to look up, to see what the Deathstinger- what Kage- had done. "...? She's..."
Akira seemed to smile, kind of floating in the air, the blue force field around her flickering and disappearing. "I love you," she whispered. She fell down onto the sand...
...lifeless...? (umm...)
"There's still a chance," mumbled Sylvia. "Twilight!" she shouted. "You have to-"
"No," said Neos. "No, Twilight."
"What?!!" shouted Eira, Ayumi, and Hitoshi.
"Neos?" asked Sylvia uneasily. "You know that Twilight can fuse with her and..."
"Yeah, I do," mumbled Neos. "Which is why I can't let her do this."
"What do you mean?!!"
"You can't control her," said Neos. "Twilight... in nature, she's still pretty much a wild organoid. There's no telling what she could do to Akira... I should know."
"Neos..." mumbled Sylvia. "I know all about your past experiences, but...? Don't you want Akira to live?"
"Of course I do," muttered Neos. "But I know better than to do this. I don't want to use Twilight except for a last resort. Just... wait..."
"Evelyn's not going to show up," said Sylvia, growing impatient. "And Fiona- "
"Sylvie, listen to him," said Ayumi, convinced. "I think I understand what he's trying to say. He's been with Twilight in like four different time periods, or something like that. He knows her way better than you, so just listen to him."
"Do NOT call me Sylvie," said Sylvia angrily. "It's SylviA. Please."
"They'll turn up, don't worry," said Neos. "Someone will. I knew both Fiona AND Evelyn. Of course, I'm not saying that we were good friends, but..."
***
"See, if Evelyn's around, then Kage..." said Faye, following Harry back to their Zoids.
"Umm... who's Evelyn?" asked Harry curiously. "And what does this girl have to do with Kage?"
"Furthermore, if Kage's back then Neos is back, too," she continued. "And who else... Good, I think that's all."
"And who's Neos?!!"
"Harry," laughed Faye, "You have no idea what's going on, do you?"
"Exactly," said Harry. "So how do you know all this?"
"You have no idea how much it sucks." Faye sighed, walking up to her Salamander. "But if you want to know that badly, it's kind of on account of the Backdraft... but kind of... not."
"Err."
"I won't bother explaining," said Faye quietly. "You know... something's happening to this dang planet, and it's not normal."
Nothing on Zi is 'normal'... thought Harry. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"More and more people are showing up..." she mumbled. "People who can pilot Zoids abnormally well. People who can understand them, people with organoids, people who..."
"...are psychics, people who..." continued Harry. "Yeah, I get what you mean. It's been so long since we first came to Zi, and..."
"...yeah..." muttered Faye. "Okay, let's go."
"Where are we going again?"
"You're hopeless..."
***
"I wonder..."
Two robots rolled into the room, carrying a tray of tea between them. "I wonder why Benjamin's such an idiot," muttered Sebastian, Mary's words reminding him that he hadn't fought with his counterpart for a very long time.
"I wonder if we've come up with any better insults for each other yet?" asked Benjamin.
"Now, now..." said Mary cheerily. She stood up and walked over to them, taking the tray gingerly. "It wouldn't be very nice of you to spill this all over Harry's carpet, would it?"
"Oh," they said sheepishly. "Sorry."
"I wonder..." began Mary again. "Do you think that Harry ever got that Leena girl to like him?"
"I thought you didn't like her," said Benjamin confusedly.
"No," agreed Mary. "But if that would've made Harry happy, then he'd have never left! You don't know how much I miss him."
"Sure we do..." mumbled Sebastian, if a robot can mumble. "But in any case, we HAVE been winning more battles lately! Though he was a great friend... slash companion..."
"But not very great at getting hot chicks to fall in love with him," Benjamin pointed out.
Mary laughed. "Okay, enough, you two. It's so strange that father wasn't able to find him, but I suppose that wherever he is, Harry's happy. Maybe he even found some other girl, whom I'd approve of!" She clasped her hands together, dropping the tray. "Oops! The tea! The carpet!"
"Ahh! Get some towels!" shouted Sebastian.
"Why don't YOU get them?!!" argued Benjamin.
"Now, now..." said Mary, trying to calm them down before any more damage was done.
"I'LL get it."
"Huh?" asked Mary, looking up from picking up the cups and putting them on her lounge's table. "Who are you-"
Someone stepped out of the shadows. Mary gasped. "Please... don't kill us." Apparently, she had no idea who this was, but that didn't matter. "Just put down the gun..." she pleaded.
He laughed. "Heck, no... I'm not gonna kill you, not just yet. I need you."
"You mean, like a hostage?!!" cried Mary.
He nodded. "Yeah... a hostage. I need to get revenge on a friend of yours."
"He's probably a control freak or something," Benjamin whispered to Sebastian.
"Wait!" shouted Mary. "Before you take me hostage, or whatever, I wanna know your name, please and thank you..."
"Cid Marron, ever heard of me?"
Mary and the two robots sweat-dropped. "No."
Cid sighed. "Dang... That's okay. I've never really done a kidnapping job before, it's new to me."
"A friend of mine... who is it you want to get revenge on?" asked Mary, quietly fingering a shard of broken teapot.
"Harry Champ."
She dropped it. "You mean, you know where she is?!!" cried Mary. "Oh, thank you ever so much! Is Harry alright?"
"Sure, he's just great- hey!" shouted Cid. "Will you stop it?!! You're making me look bad!"
"Aren't you?"
"Just shut up..."
"Not until you tell me why you want revenge on my little brother."
"Dang you Champs, I can't stand this..."
***
Umms.... Dang Mary and her questions. She's making Cid look bad! Argh! I've wanted to kidnap her or something for a while. I dunno, it's just been one of my weird plans to mentally torment my characters... j/k. Though Harry'll probably freak when he sees Mary again.
Want to read something more confusing? Try reading novels by Terry Pratchett (Discworld!!!). Can't get much more confusing than that.
I wanted to write more in this chapter, but unfortunately, I have to write an essay and do a lab report for science and some annoying History homework that I've put all off until wonderful old Superbowl Sunday, even though I got Friday off. And I have to practice my violin, of, course, which I don't like to do much.
I keep avoiding those Zoid battle things... And actually killing anyone. I was soooooooo close!!! Argh! Well... we better hope there's not much homework this week so I can write more. Before I completely forget about Mary, Naomi, Commander Altien, and Dr. Layon, which I keep doing.
My attempts to get rid of some original characters (why won't they just go away?!!!) are basically attempts to bring back those normal characters. And Jamie! He hasn't even gotten an actual Zoid battle so far!
BTW, I made my wonderfully stupid list thingy a while ago, but I can't get it to show up right when I upload it to FanFiction.net, since I do these in .doc format and am practically illiterate when it comes to html (hyper text marker language! yay!).
I'm still waiting for something to make sense.
