****I DON'T OWN ZOIDS**********************
Chapter 2
Return of a Friend
We arrived at the base where Proezen's goons had transformed me into my current state. I felt uneasy here. One thing was for sure, I wanted to leave. But, Zeke encouraged me to stay and I went, reluctantly, into the base. I looked at Van. He seemed familiar.
"Fiona, isn't this one of the bases we had to go through in order to get Rudolph to Guygalos?" Van asked his partner.
The Ancient Zoidian turned towards her human friend.
"I think it was. Do you remember that Black Redler that seemed impossible to hit? It didn't even try to attack us." She said.
So they were the bandits that attacked this base that allowed for my escape. I could kiss them if I could, so I did the organoid equivalent to Zeke. The silver organoid blushed and Fiona chuckled.
"Looks like she likes you, Zeke." Fiona said.
We walked further down into the base to find a room with a bunch of fallen file cabinets. Van and Fiona looked through them. One that Fiona found got her attention.
"Apparently, this base was marginally successful in the transformations. Only three people survived and were turned into organoids. Their colors were green, purple, and gold." She read. "Those poor people. I wonder where they are now?"
I considered this information. Only two other people were turned into organoids. I needed to find out who they were. Walking away from the others, I found my way to the transformation chamber room. I knew someone was behind me. It didn't feel like Fiona, Van, Zeke, or Irvine. If it was Moonbay, her head would be rolling across the floor. My laser blades came out and I saw a red organoid. Then, I saw its owner.
"Greetings, organoid. My name is Hiltz and you're coming with me." The man said. "Ambient..."
Ambient threw a net over me which was quickly cut by my laser blades. Hiltz fired some kind of organoid stunner that caused me to go unconscious. The next part of this tale was told to me by Ambient. Hiltz and him were carrying me off and Zeke noticed me and began to chase Hiltz down. Van and Fiona were soon to follow. Hiltz set off a stun grenade which did as it said. It stunned the three long enough for Hiltz and Ambient to abduct me. I awoke to see Ambient trying to comfort me. By now, I had learned to understand the Organoida, the language of the Organoids.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
"How do you think I feel? I've been kidnaped by your master and I don't know if I'll ever see my partner again!" I yelled at him.
"Solar, I know that you're not a true organoid but one that was created by that by that awful laboratory. But with so few female organoids around, I feel myself drawn towards your beauty." Ambient told me.
I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do.
"We're waiting here for Reese and her organoid Sepchius..." Ambient said.
After that, I knew my way out. Ambient had left the door to my cell wide open. I was able to take him by surprise. Quickly, I surprised the crimson organoid and knocked him out. Racing past three guards, I made my way to the hangar. The Zoids in this hangar were a Silver Pteras, three Guysacks, a Zaber Fang, and a Black Redler. I chose the Silver Pteras and took off as quickly as I could. This Pteras was equipped with boosters which I used to great effect. My Pteras rocketed past much of the landscape in my flight from Hiltz. Unfortunately for the Zoid I was controlling, I exhausted its power and the Zoid Core went dead. I tried to land the suddenly heavy Zoid, but crashed near a Dibison wreck. Getting out of the Pteras was easy but left me without a way to defend myself, in case Hiltz decided to attack again. My attention turned to the Dibison wreck and the organoid half of me seemed interested. It became apparent when I discovered that Organoids could resurrect "dead" Zoids by diving into my Organoid half again. I fused with the wreck and began the repairs. As I reached for control, I felt a presence within it. It was barely alive but made me wonder. Could this Dibison's Organoid have been too severely damaged by whatever attacked it that it couldn't even exit the machine?
"Help me..." It cried out in pain.
My powers touched it and the presence began to evolve. It wasn't an Organoid as I thought it was. It was some kind of artificial intelligence developed by that Thomas Shoboltz guy. However, when I began to help this dying being, it began to become an Organoid. I finished the repairs and got out of the Dibison. The new BEAK came out. He was a green organoid with a nice wingspan. In a way, he was handsome.
"We should head back to Thomas." He told me.
Beak fused the Dibison and we ran to the base that Beak was talking about. I got over the gates and saw Moonbay's Gustav there, as well as Irvine's Command Wolf. Thomas was fixing a Hellcat but didn't seem to be in the mood. He turned to see his Dibison and me walking towards them.
"Solar, what are you doing here?" Moonbay asked.
Beak got out of the Dibison and ran to Thomas. Somehow, the Imperial Officer knew that this was his A.I. unit that he created. The two of them were laughing and were very happy. I had to laugh a little bit as well when Beak's new tail accidentally knocked Thomas out. The novice organoid was frightened and concerned about his friend.
"Don't worry, Beak." Irvine said. "A blow like that won't kill him."
This seemed to reassure the Organoid and Irvine, Moonbay, and I went to use a Republic Comm Unit to contact Van and Fiona.
"Hey Van, you might want to head back to base right about now." Irvine said.
"Irvine! Solar's been kidnaped by Hiltz! Fiona and I are going after her!" Van exclaimed.
That was my cue. I stood in view of the screen and Van's signal cut out. Fiona popped up on the screen.
"Solar, you made the Blade Liger topple over." The Ancient Zoidian chuckled.
Moonbay, Irvine, and Thomas started to laugh hysterically at that moment. When Van popped back on the screen, the laughter stopped.
"We should be there by tomorrow." Van said.
Early the next day, Van's Blade Liger and Fiona's Genosaurer were parked in the hangar when I woke up. Actually, I woke up to an Organoid kiss from Zeke. I gave Zeke the same and walked over to Fiona, my partner pilot. Van, Fiona, and Zeke were surprised to see Thomas walking around with a green Organoid.
"Thomas, where'd you get that Organoid? He seems familiar for some reason." Van asked.
"It's Beak, Van. Somehow, when Solar fused with my Dibison wreck, she brought Beak back to life as well." Thomas told him. "I don't know how or why he became an Organoid though."
"So, in a way, Beak now has a mom." Van said.
I was embarrassed by that remark. Beak was not my child, he was Thomas's kid if you thought about it. All I did was bring him back to life. Fortunately, Dr. Dee put aside any questions about me being a mother.
"It's the same when Fiona and Zeke resurrected Van's Shield Liger into the Blade Liger. Solar's Zoid Healing Power is what transformed Beak into an organoid. She's not a mother." The old man said.
Night was slowly creeping up onto the base as I watched the sunset. I was joined by Zeke, who seemed to be content on being beside me. I felt very sleepy, laid down and slept.
