Chapter 6
A Grave Mistake
I was having a conversation with Beak early in the next morning. Beak always gave me good advice before and I sought his help again. We were discussing my problems over some vescana. It was something Dr. Dee came up with and it was basically the organoid equivalent of coffee. My vescana, had it been real coffee, would have tasted like French Vanilla. Beak always had a version that tasted like Turkish coffee. Vescana was essentially different energies portioned out in a mixture.
"I don't know what to think, Beak. I mean, laying my first egg and then seeing what your child will look like and that horrible future that he comes from. It's disturbing." I said.
"Solar, you must think about some of this. As you now know, your future child will be very well mannered. Most human mothers, according to current data, want this from their children. As for the future, it hasn't happened yet. Obviously, when the Black Blade Liger came back through time, that one event erased that timeline. In that timeline, the BBL didn't exist until Flare was born and no warning was given about the Geno Reaper. Now, we have a better chance of defeating them than before." Beak said.
"I hope you are right, friend." I told him.
"I hope so too. Personally, I don't want anyone to have to repeat this again." Beak said to me.
I had to laugh. Beak did have a great sense of humor about things, something that must have been a glitch in his program for Thomas wouldn't have put in a sense of humor. I saw Zeke walking past us and I said good- bye to Beak and followed him. We arrived in the hangar to find Thomas, Van, Irvine, and Dr. Dee were inspecting the BBL.
"Amazing. According to what Colonel Hermann has told us, this was designed by Flare." Dr. Dee said. "I never thought an organoid could do something like this."
"Must get from his mother." Irvine said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Van asked.
"Come on, this coming from Zeke's side of the energy. This is Solar." Irvine said.
"Well, Zeke's pretty smart too." Van said in support of his friend.
Van was in the cockpit of the BBL and pressed a button. Suddenly, the Zoid vanished from human sight. I could still make it out despite that difficulty. Van opened the invisible cockpit and laughed.
"Figures, stealth technology." He said laughing.
They decloaked the BBL and went to work inspecting it. They found a lot of neat devices on it. I had to say one thing about my future son, he was smart. He had to have been to design the Black Blade Liger. I walked over to Zeke, who was gazing at the Zoid.
"Zeke, what do you think?" I asked.
"Solar, were you really human?" He asked.
"Yah, it seems like so long ago. Sometimes, I...forget what it was like." I said trying to find the right words.
"What do you remember?" Zeke asked me.
I didn't know how to answer that question. At the moment, I could remember what it was like. I remembered feeling the warm rays of the sun on my face as I swam through the cool waters of a lake near my home. I remembered the taste of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and having the wind in your hair as it blew past you. All of this, I told to Zeke.
"Zeke, none of this matters anymore. Even though my organoid existence was brought upon through the cruelty of Proezen's science, I've accepted what I am now and I found the one that I truly love." I said placing my tail on his.
Zeke rubbed his nose on the spot just under my chin that I loved and I knew he'd forgiven me completely for the deception. I was enjoying the rubbing when Fiona shown up.
"Okay, you two. Knock it off. We got work to do." She said smiling.
"I never get to have any fun." Zeke said.
"I heard that!" Fiona exclaimed from a distance.
"Zabat ears." I said under my breath.
Zeke and I walked around the hangar. Suddenly, I could feel a sensation of evil was creeping up on us. I turned towards the horizon to see a glint of gold. I didn't know what it was till I saw the claw. It was shaped like a scythe. It was the Geno Reaper. I turned towards the repaired Black Blade Liger which had Fiona in the cockpit. Immediately, I turned into energy and fused with this new Zoid. Shaking off the restraints, I ran at top speed towards the Geno Reaper.
"Solar, what's going on?" Fiona asked sternly.
I displayed the enhanced image of the Geno Reaper and Fiona reacted naturally. She keyed up the base.
"Guys, Solar's found the Geno Reaper. It must have followed Colonel Herman back through time. Or it could be that Raven was able to evolve the Geno Reaper sooner." Fiona said.
I turned my attention towards the Geno Reaper. Going through the Black Blade Liger's Zoid Core, I found the stealth technology and the Strike Laser Claw. I charged it up and attacked. I reared up against the monster and my claw struck home. The claw sliced through the an arm which fell to the ground.
"You think you can stop me?" Raven's voice came in. "You'll fail."
Raven began to charge up the Geno Reaper's charged particle gun. When he fired, I instinctively dodged to my horror. The blast destroyed the base. No one had made it out. Not even...Zeke.
"Did I make you cry?" Raven asked coldly. "Let me make it better."
Raven jumped into the air and I dodged the falling Zoid. Fiona was crying over Van. I couldn't cry right now for I had to stop Raven. I leaped onto the Geno Reaper's back and suck my teeth into the back of its neck. No longer was I fighting for glory, passion, love, or the instinct to fight. I wanted vengeance. I wanted to kill Raven. My alloy teeth glowed with yellow energy as they ripped through circuitry. I found the Zoid Core and Shadow ejected leaving Raven all alone. The Geno Reaper bucked as Raven was thrown from the cockpit when one of my claws struck the Zoid Core. The Geno Reaper died and crumpled to the ground. I jumped off the dead Zoid and landed a few feet away. Fiona opened the cockpit and I heard a gunshot. Fiona fell out and landed hard on the ground. I turned to see where the shot had come from. Raven was on the ground with a gun pointed at the Black Blade Liger's cockpit. I got out and rocketed towards him. In the past hour, I had lost those I'd cared about. Raven was not going to live for much longer. My blades extended out and when I went in for the killing blow, Shadow moved into my way and blocked the attack. My blades sliced through the organoid's body like tissue paper and my blades then connected with flesh. Raven had been sliced in half and lay dying on the ground. I walked away from the gruesome scene in the Black Blade Liger. Once again, I was alone and once again, it was not by choice.
