*******I DON'T OWN ZOIDS********************************
Chapter 9
Solar's Last Stand
I turned to look at Zeke. We'd mated the previous night and our gold and silver speckled egg had just formed. In a way, I was glad that Zeke hadn't found out I was human yet. It just seemed a little too soon for that. I just wanted to be with him. Zeke was asleep, tired for the night. My attention turned back towards my egg and for some reason I felt a sense of dread. I walked towards the Lightning Saix. It bent down and nodded its head as if to say that it felt it too. Laying back down next to Zeke, I wondered what the feeling was. A loud siren wail woke me from my slumber to see the entire base going to battle stations. Staring out towards the horizon, I saw something I didn't want to see. Ambient was on top of the Geno Reaper which could only mean one thing. Hiltz was the pilot. Ambient fused with the killing machine and with a loud roar, the Geno Reaper began to charge up its Charged Particle Gun. Fiona got into the Lightning Saix at the same time that I did and the Guardian Force went out to meet this threat. Hiltz fired the Charged Particle Gun and I intercepted the blast. Granted, I was impervious to the blast. I was still hurled back by the force. That old saying, if you can't bring Mohammed to the mountain, you must bring the mountain to Mohammed. It was like someone had just hurled the mountain at me. Fiona yelled from the impact. The Colonel came up on the cockpit screen.
"Fiona, if Solar's ability to absorb those blasts keeps up, we may win." He said.
"Roger that." She said piloting us into another blast.
After I'd absorbed that last blast, I noticed another Zoid appear from behind a mountain. It was scorpion-like and it filled me with a sense of dread. Reese came over the comm.
"So Fiona's being used as a shield. So predictable of men to do that to us ladies. Say hello to my Death Stinger." The Blue Devil said laughing as she charged up her charged particle gun that was mounted onto the Zoid's tail.
At that moment, I had an epiphany. The feeling that you knew what you had to do. Focusing my power, I managed to dematerialize Fiona and rematerialize her in the back seat of the Blade Liger. A design came to my head and I told the Lightning Saix to evolve. When the Zoid's evolution was complete which took two point seven seconds, this Zoid was looking a lot more beefier and I ran at Reese. Before she could fire her Charged Particle Gun, the Saix's teeth bit through the Death Stinger's tail as I turned the blast on her.
"When you're in Hell, say the Thunder Saix sent you." I said as the beam hit the cockpit and tore into the Death Stinger's Zoid Core. "REESE!" Hiltz yelled.
I turned towards Hiltz and his Geno Reaper. He was charging up the charged particle gun and when he was about to fire, I had the Thunder Saix's teeth in the throat of the great killer. This caused the blast to be deflected into space where it safely dispersed. I overheard on Hiltz's comm something terrible.
"Ambient, I'm setting the Zoid Core to overload. Let's eject." Hiltz exclaimed to his organoid partner.
When they ejected, the Thunder Blast Cannons on the Thunder Saix swivelled towards the fleeing organoid. With one blast, Ambient was knocked to the ground. Both of them were still alive but they weren't going anywhere for a while. My attention went back to the Geno Reaper. I turned towards the Guardian Force.
"It's about to overload! Get out of here while you still can!" I yelled.
"But what about you?" Beak asked.
"Zeke, take care of our hatchling for me." I said leaping onto the weapon of mass destruction as I was allowed to see the pilots thanks to Zeke and Beak.
"Fiona, what's going on?" Van asked.
Fiona had tears in her eyes as she began to say, "She's going to sacrifice herself."
"Solar!" Irvine yelled. "Don't do it! It's a useless sacrifice!"
I turned on my shield and extended it over the Geno Reaper. Finally, everyone got back as the Geno Reaper's Zoid Core detonated. Through the blinding pain, I tried to keep the shield up. The shield generator was destroyed and I screamed as blinding pain and the darkness claimed me.
***AUTHOR'S NOTE: Before any of you complain, I'm switching to third-person now.******
"SOLAR!" Fiona yelled.
Van remembered what it was like to lose your partner organoid. He remembered when Zeke had almost died. He had to keep the Blade Liger on course away from the explosive wave front that was building. Finally, the massive explosion ceased and Thomas sent Van images of what was left of the Geno Reaper and the Thunder Saix. There wasn't much left of the Geno Reaper except for fragments of twisted black metal. The Thunder Saix was completely black now. The armor was gone and the internals were almost fried.
"We'd better see if she survived." Irvine said grimly.
The Guardian Force went to the ruined Zoids. Doctor Dee flew out in a Pteras to help. Everyone began to cut into the chassis to try to find Solar. Finally, Van pulled away a piece of metal to find Solar's blackened body wrapped around the Thunder Saix's Zoid Core. Solemnly, Van said to the others, "Over here! I found her."
Moonbay's hand went to her mouth, shocked at what she'd seen, grief for she was the first person to discover Solar, and sadness for Zeke for he'd lost his mate. Irvine removed his image enhancer, not wanting a closer look at her. Thomas bent his head towards the ground to show respect for her sacrifice. Fiona was crying as she turned towards Dr. Dee to ask, "Is she gone?"
"I'm afraid so, child." The doctor said.
Fiona and Zeke began to cry. Everyone tried to comfort the organoid and the Ancient Zoidian, not noticing one eye begin to glow and something projecting outwards slightly away from them. Beak turned away to see a girl pushing away at a piece of the Geno Reaper's shattered hulk to reveal a beautiful flower, a flower that had somehow survived the self-destruct of the Geno Reaper. The girl was Latino and beautiful. Her form denoted an athlete and someone who knew that she was naturally beautiful. The girl turned towards the organoid and said in a rather familiar voice, "Beak, it's me."
Beak turned towards Fiona who heard the voice too. Fiona got everyone's attention as they walked towards the girl. Fiona couldn't believe it.
"Solar? Is that you?" Fiona asked.
"It's me, Fiona, or rather how I was before Proezen's men took me from my home in the Valley of the Queens Colony." Solar said.
"So, you're Alma." Dr. Dee said. "You're the one who developed the Genosaurer. Why would such a sweet-natured young women create that killing machine?"
"Actually, the original programming that may still lay deep inside that beast programmed it to never harm any human beings." Alma said. "I went through complete hell in my life to save all of you. In a previous timeline, Raven had destroyed all of you with the Geno Reaper because of my mistake. I love you all. Especially you, Zeke."
The hologram faded as Solar's life ended. Everyone began to cry. Then, they heard a sinister voice. Van looked towards the voice to see that it was Raven's voice.
"Oh, how touching." Raven said from within the Geno Breaker. "Now, join that organoid."
The Geno Breaker's charged particle gun began to charge. Before anyone could get to their Zoids, Raven laughed as he fired. The light was almost blinding but when the blast was over, everyone was still there looking up at the sky where a sort of force field that looked like it belonged in Star Trek, sparkled above them. Everyone was still running for their Zoids but Raven was infuriated.
"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" He yelled.
"How did we survive that?" Thomas asked Dr. Dee.
"It must be Solar's remaining power. That's what must have been protecting us." Dr. Dee said.
The Gun Snipers took up their positions as Raven laughed as he activated his shield. They pierced the shield and Van used the Blade Liger's Laser Blades to cut off one of the Geno Breaker's legs. The Geno Breaker fell to the earth as Van felt like he'd defeated his number one enemy.

(HALO)
That was too mean. It isn't right to gain up on someone like that. These were just a few of the thoughts that were racing through my organoid head. I heard Shadow's cry of pain and Raven's yell. I knew I had to do something. I fused with the Geno Breaker and wrapped around its Zoid Core with my beloved Shadow. I felt the Zoid Core get bigger as the Geno Breaker began to evolve. Raven severely beat the Guardian Force and vaporized those annoying Gun Snipers in his new Geno Reaper.
