Anywho, here's chapter 3!
CHAPTER 3
Rain opened the door and saw the next guests to arrive, Ryuji and Ayane.
"Hello you two." Rain said, "Ryuji, did you bring the GunGyarados?"
"Yeah," Ryuji said.
"Then why don't you put it in the hanger. You can meet us in the main room when your done, since you already know where it is." She turned to Ayane, "Your Ayane, right?"
Ayane nodded, "Yeah."
"Ok. Come on, I'll show you to the main room."
Rain took Ayane to the main room where the other three teenagers were already talking excitedly about the now entering GunGyarados. The group each made their introductions and the kids stayed at the glass wall, watching all the incoming zoids. The adults all sat and talked. The only two not present were Cloud and Koh, who, at the moment, just happened to be looking for the big harry tarantula they had accidentally let loose.
Eventually everyone arrived, and their was quite a collection of zoids in the hanger. Leon, Naomi, and hikari's zoids were the last ones in. Hikari piloted a beautiful yellow shield Ligar, with brilliant violet eyes.
The Blitz team kept their zoids in the hover cargo, but according to Doctor Tauros, Will piloted a dark green Raynos, and he piloted it quite well. They were still unsure as to if he was a third generation wild eagle. Rion piloted his white Blade Ligar with black blades. It had extra blades on the end of it's tail, and was quite a sight to see.
Koh and Cloud soon returned to the group, as pale faced as ever, and unsuccessful in finding their lost spider. They made their introductions and looked at all the unique zoids in the hanger, then sat and began to chit-chat.
Rion, Kristen and Koh immediately became quick friends, and began talking about all the times they had been in trouble.
Shiro, Will and Hikari had also become good friends, each laughing and talking about various strategies and battles they had fought.
Ayane sat in a chair by herself, looking down at the collection of zoids and thinking to herself. She watched as a new Gustav suddenly appeared inside the hanger, and two people stepped out. One, the girl, had long silver hair, while the other, was a man that had flaming red hair and was quite tall. The each carried three or four bags filled with snacks and junk food, and were talking and laughing about something. She then saw a small organoid run out to them, take some of the bags away from the girl, and carry them along side the two humans.
Nadia and Hiro walked in, made their introductions, and put away the food. Some of the adults made comments about how pretty Nadia was, making her blush. She and Lightstrike quickly made their way to her room, to put away something she had bought for herself.
Nadia opened the door to her room and walked in, LightStrike following at her heals. She turned on the light and looked at her desk. She had inherited her drawing skill from her mother, and various pictures and papers lay scattered on top of her desk. She then removed the present she had bought for Koh as a happy birthday. It was already wrapped in dark red paper, with golden ribbons. She would put it in his room later. Placing it on her desk she turned to leave when she noticed something on her bed.
It was a small box, wrapped in light blue paper with a silver ribbon. She plopped down on her bed and examined the box.
LightStrike sat on the bed next to her and watched curiously as she unwrapped the present. She removed all the wrapping paper and ribbons, then looked at the plain as can be wooden box. She opened it and found a small card inside, along with the most beautiful purple necklace she had ever seen.
The necklace, that was shaped in the form of a small yin-yang, with a phoenix carved in the background, was a clear, soft shade of purple. It had a sliver chain that had various purple crystals, obviously made of the same stone the yin-yang was, and it seemed to have a strange soft, barely noticeable glow. Then she noticed that there were other stones of various shades of blue. These stones were in the small circle parts of the yin- yang, and also along the chain.
Nadia and LightStrike sat in awe for at least a minute longer, then the young teenager remembered the card. She fumbled to get it open then read aloud so the organoid could hear:
"Nadia. Happy birthday and I hope you like it. I spent every penny I had to get it made. The blue stones are Lopaz Lazuli. Mom said you liked the color so I picked them out. The other, purple stones are something that took me forever to find. They are made of Zoid magnite, and the jeweler who made it for me had the hardest time shaping it. Happy Birthday... Love, Koh."
Nadia gasped. Zoid magnite was supposed to be very, very rare and expensive.
"How did he ever get enough money to buy that?" Nadia said aloud. She flipped the card over and read, "P.S. Mom, Dad and Uncle Cloud helped pay for it. you should thank them too."
Nadia then giggled. Her mother, father and uncle had also helped her pay for the present she had bought for Koh. 'They must be almost broke!' She thought to herself. She then told LightStrike, "Im going to join the others now and thank Koh, Mom, Dad and Uncle Cloud. Can you do me a favor?"
LightStrike roared happily and nodded.
"Will you go take Koh's present to his room? I want it to be a surprise so I don't want him to see me... ok?"
LightStrike jumped off of her bed and rushed over to her desk, picking up the small wrapped box in his mouth carefully. He trotted out of the room and down the hallway, towards Koh's room.
Nadia put her new necklace on and went out to join the others. She stood at the edge of the room and motioned for Koh to come over. He complied and the walked out of sight of the guests. He saw that she was wearing the necklace and smiled.
"I didn't want to embarrass you in front of everyone." She gave him a small hug, "Thanks Koh. I love it allot."
Koh grinned, "You should thank mom, dad, and uncle Cloud. They paid for the majority of it. Haven't you noticed how many battles they've been participating it lately? They've been using all the prize money to pay for that!"
Nadia nodded, "Now that you mention it, they have been in allot of battles." She smiled. What Koh didn't know was that they had also been battling to help pay for his gift.
The two went back to the party, and Nadia seemed to become good friends almost instantly with Shiro, Will and Hikari.
Ayane still stayed by herself, adding into various conversations every once and a while. She listened and snacked mostly, finding out a lot of useful information from the adults conversations.
After a while Doctor Tauros stood up and cleared his throat, gaining everyone's attention. For how old he was now he seemed as upbeat and enthusiastic as he always did. "Sky raiders team! I challenge you to a zoid battle!"
Rain and Cloud looked at each other and grinned, "Under what rules?" Rain asked.
"Ummm." Doctor Tauros scratched his head, "I hadn't thought about that..."
Rain laughed just as most the blitz and Flugel teams stared at the Doctor. Jemie sighed and shook his head.
"Ok Tauros." Rain stated, "how about all of your team, against all of ours? Unlimited ammo, and conversions allowed?"
"Ok!" Doctor Tauros stated, "I'll call the ZBC and register the battle!"
Tauros called the ZBC form the Hover Cargo, registered the battle and returned.
"So when's the battle going to take place?" Rain asked.
"In 3 hours!" Tauros stated as happily as one of the zoid warriors themselves.
The group continued to chit-chat, some even making bets on which team would win the upcoming battle....
Cloud and Koh just hoped the could find their spider before someone else did....

Authors note: Hey, hope you liked the chap. It's kinda short, sorry about that. I just really got the urge to go play Pikmin for the GameCube... and I thought this was a good place to end the chap.
As for my Chrono Cross story, I hope some of you will take the time to read it... you don't have to if you don't want to though...
Please Review!
