Chapter 5
Warning From The Future
I woke up to find an egg lying between Zeke and me. It was the color of silver with patches of gold along it. The others hadn't woken up yet so I woke up Zeke. He seemed to be happy to see the egg and we both went around waking everyone up. When Van, Fiona, Thomas, and Beak saw the egg, they couldn't believe it was mine. At once, we got back to base and Dr. Dee was called to give his expert diagnosis on the egg.
"Frankly, I've got no idea what will come about once this egg hatches. I'm stumped." He said.
"Shouldn't the question be, what are we going to do with it after it hatches?" Irvine asked.
"We'll know what to do when it hatches." Fiona said.
They left Zeke and I alone with our egg. I wondered what they were talking about.
****Author's Note: I'm about to switch perspectives that way you'll know what's going on.***
We walked down the hall to Colonel Krueger's office. I was deeply concerned about Solar and her future child. Fiona was probably worried sick about what the military might want to do with it. I couldn't let the child get placed in the wrong hands. Van and I would make sure of that. Besides, I wondered whether or not the kid would want to be my partner. We walked in and sat down. Looking around, I could tell that Fiona and Van were nervous and Thomas was trying to comfort her.
"We need to decide the issue of the organoid egg." Krueger said.
"Simple. We let it's parents keep the egg and let the organoid decide who it goes to, once it hatches." I said.
"The egg should be taken from the parents immediately for research. This is the first organoid egg that we have had ready for study." Major Redcliff said.
"Sir, isn't the one thing that will fight the most fierce is a wild animal protecting her young." Thomas said making a good comparison. "How do we know that Solar and Zeke won't attack us when you try to take the egg?"
"That's a good point, Lieutenant Shoboltz. We'll leave the egg in the care of the organoids." The Colonel wisely decided.
An alarm went off. Something was attacking the base. ***Back To Solar.*****
The alarm went off as I was about to doze off. Quickly, Zeke and I went to the door to find Fiona and Van there to get us. We got to the hangar and Fiona, Van, Thomas, and Irvine got into their Zoids.
"Mobilize!" They yelled.
Zeke got into the Blade Liger. I got into the Lightning Saix and Beak got into the Dibison. We exited the hangar and found the intruder got past the barriers. It was a Black Blade Liger. It seemed to have gone through complete and total hell to get here. Although I know I haven't seen this Zoid before, it seemed familiar. The Black Blade Liger stopped moving and the cockpit opened. They could see a man collapsed in the pilot seat. An organoid got out and went to its partner.
"Mother, can you help me get Colonel Herman inside?" The new organoid asked.
"Who are you?" I asked the organoid.
"I'm your son, Flare." He replied.
We got the Colonel inside while Dr. Dee and the others worked to repair the Black Blade Liger. I wasn't exactly interested in this new Zoid. I was more interested in my future son, Flare. Van, Fiona, Thomas, Irvine, Zeke, Beak, our Major Herman, and I were in the infirmary with the future Colonel Herman. Flare was by his side, like a true friend.
"So, why am I here talking to myself?" Major Herman asked his future self.
"You'll want to know. In two and a half months, Hiltz and Ambient will complete the Death Stinger. This Zoid is powerful enough to wipe out entire cities with a single blast of its charged particle gun. Although this Zoid is extremely powerful, it isn't the reason why I came. When Hiltz finishes the Death Stinger, he'll fire his charged particle gun at this base. At the same time, Raven, in a new Geno Breaker, will be engaging our forces at that time. He'll be losing and his organoid, Shadow, is almost killed in the blast. They escape and Raven will restore Shadow back to full strength. Knowing that the Geno Breaker is no longer a good Zoid to use, he orders Shadow to evolve it again. It complied and made the Geno Breaker become worse than anything imaginable. It became the Geno Reaper. You might expect it to be a black-colored Zoid but it isn't. It was gold. That armor made energy weapons ineffective against it. It's shield was three times as strong as the Death Stinger and the Geno Breaker's shields combined. When Hiltz attacked New Helic City with the Death Stinger, Raven actually saved our lives that time. Hiltz was over confident about that battle." Colonel Herman said handing them a DVD disc. "Play this."
Irvine popped the DVD in the player. We watched the recording of the battle.
**********************PLAYBACK********************************************* "We can't get through that shield!" A pilot yelled.
The Death Stinger was moving through a small stream of lava, he'd released from Zi's surface. Hundreds of Zoids were firing at him from many different angles without even damaging him. Then, a golden Zoid came out of nowhere.
"Leave him to me! Let's get him, Shadow!" Raven yelled.
The Geno Reaper flew through the air at the Death Stinger. Hiltz reached out with a claw to grab the Zoid, but it was too fast for the scorpion Zoid. Raven fired at him, using arm-mounted laser cannons. The attack shook the Death Stinger. Hiltz laughed.
"So, you think the Geno Breaker's new evolution can defeat the Death Stinger. We'll see about that." Hiltz said charging up the tail-mounted Charged Particle Gun.
"You'll never learn, Hiltz." Raven said.
The Geno Reaper stopped in mid-flight and charged up his own weapon as well. Both men fired their powerful weapons and the beams hit one another to prove both were equal. New Helic City was in complete ruins and Hiltz knew he'd done his job. Then, something landed on top of his Zoid. He looked and saw the Geno Reaper, about to rip into his Zoid with two charged laser claws. Hiltz was able to grab him with a claw this time and threw the Zoid off. The Geno Reaper landed effortlessly nearby.
"I should tell you something, Hiltz. I was running my new Zoid's Charged Particle Gun at one percent power. I wanted to see how big of an explosion would be caused at full strength." Raven said with a laugh as he powered his charged particle gun to full strength.
Hiltz knew that he couldn't get away in time and began to fire everything he had at this Zoid. Nothing he fired would damage it. Finally, in an act of desperation, he charged up his own weaker weapon. Both fired and again the beams collided. The beam from Raven's Zoid began to push back the weaker one and the stresses tore the Death Stinger's tail off. The blast engulfed the Death Stinger and the Geno Reaper in a blast a hundred times the power of the blast that destroyed New Helic City. When the blast ceased, a Pteras flew over the ruins of the capital of the Republic. It saw something move and the Pteras was shot down. The Republic Command Center got the pilot's final words.
"Sir! It's the Geno Reaper!" The pilot managed to say before he met his end at Raven's hand.
***********OK PLAYBACK OVER**********************************************
"I can't believe it. How could anything survive that blast?" Thomas said.
"It's gets worse after that day. Raven allowed us to get to the Ultrasaurus and the Mad Thunder. We believed these two Zoids could defeat the Geno Reaper. I had proposed this endeavor and was promoted to the rank of Colonel for the idea. We were horribly wrong. With the Mad Thunder inside the Ultrasaurus, we encountered Raven four months later. He annihilated both the Ultrasaurus and the Mad Thunder. In that same battle, Zeke sacrificed themselves to save Solar and Fiona. Irvine and Moonbay died together. Raven didn't kill Van right then, though. He kept him alive long enough to see the bright red in Fiona's eyes to go dim. I can still remember the blood trickling down her throat as she died. Then, he snapped his neck. He then killed Flare's mother. When that happened, Flare was born. He flew and fused directly with my Shield Liger and evolved it into the Black Blade Liger. Then, Raven and I fought. We fought for days and were fueled by rage. Flare was an amazing friend and partner. He'd inherited his mother's nullification of energy attacks and his father's fighting spirit. We were a good team. Finally, the last part of the battle came. The Geno Reaper and the Black Blade Liger, fused with Flare, were an even match. Both Zoids were heavily damaged. Both of us were tiring, but we kept on fighting. We were on the summit of Zi's largest and most active volcano. It was about to erupt and we fought on. However, we were winning. Raven, he knew he couldn't win so he decided he'd take the entire planet with him. He fired his charged particle gun into the volcano. I energized my shield and went in to try to intercept the beam before it hit the planet's core. We almost reached the core when the beam struck. The shockwave was powerful enough to send us back in time to warn you. With that much power, it surely destroyed Planet Zi with it. I'd failed." Colonel Herman said.
Van put his hand on Colonel Herman's shoulder.
"You didn't fail. You were sent back in time to set things right." Van said.
The Colonel laid down his head and fell asleep. I turned to look at my future son and wondered if we could change this horrible fate.
