CHAPTER 5
Rain looked around her... where had that white Blade Ligar gone? She searched everywhere, and had almost given up on finding it when she noticed a zoid approaching her from behind. Seeing that is was the Blade Ligar she smiled. She pretended that she hadn't seen him, and continued to look around.
Rion laughed. All he would have to do is sneak up from behind his opponent, and take it down. He could probably do it in one easy blow if he timed himself right. The Ligar leapt into the air just as his its sharp claws began to glow a soft shade of reddish yellow. "This is going to be easy..." Rion said to himself, completely convinced that he had already won. He was wrong.
Rain waited till the last second before she swung the Kaiser's tail, completely taking Rion off guard and opening a large gash down the Blade Ligars side. Rion pushed his zoid to his feet and saw that Rain had turned the Kaiser around so that it was now facing him.
"You've got a lot to learn kid..." Rain said, "It's pretty dangerous to try and sneak up on an alert zoid like my Kaiser... especially if they have a strong, bladed tail."
"Thanks for the advice..." Rion said angrily, "I won't make the same mistake twice..." He rushed at the Kaiser, suddenly finding that it was no longer standing in front of him. He heard a large explosion and looked up, seeing that the dragon had taken flight and had begun it's assault on the dark green Raynos that Will piloted.
Will cringed as Kaiser flew above him, swinging it's long bladed tail and striking his Raynos on the back. He elevated, trying to get above Rain, who always seemed to be one step ahead of him. She too elevated, circling around her opponent as she did so. Suddenly she circled in closer, extending the blades on the tips of the Kaisers wings.
Will went into a short dive, barely dodging the deadly blade. Rion's face appeared on his com-link, "Will, she ain't stupid."
"I think I've noticed that Rion." Will said, dodging as Rain came strait at him again. The two continued their fight, circling each other and watching their opponents every move. They continued to elevate, taking them extremely high off the ground.
"Will, be careful, your pretty high up!" Rion called, watching as the two aerial zoids continued to rise. A cloud passed and he could no longer see them.
"You think I don't know that!?" Will yelled, "This is higher than I've ever been, thank you very much, and it's scaring the living crap out of me!"
"Shesh!" Rion yelled back, "Im sorry, just be careful, a fall from that height wouldn't be pretty!"
"I know!" Will began to get annoyed.
"Calm down, Will." Doctor Tauros's voice suddenly filled his intercom, his face appearing on a screen in front of him, "Rain is used to being high up, and she probably knows that you aren't. She's trying to get you spooked so that you can't pilot as well as you normally would. Try to descend."
Will took a few breaths as he continued to circle Rain, "Ok, Doc. But she won't let me go any lower... I can't descend at all with her circling me like she is... it's at an angle so that if I dived, she could easily get me..."
"Just remember, Will... she probably doesn't want to fall from that height either..." Doctor Tauros said reassuringly. He looked over at Ori, who had a hint of worry in her eyes.
*********************
Meanwhile the two Ligars continued to wrestle each other, and they were both battered quite a bit. Cloud jumped off of the Ligar 0 just before it slashed at him with its claws.
"Man, Cloud... You've gotten better." Bit said, a grin on his face.
"So have you Bit." Cloud urged his silver Blade Ligar forward, rushing at the Ligar 0 at top speed. Bit also began to charge, "But," Cloud sighed and just before the wo zoids hit each other he ducked and pulled left, expanding his blades sideways and slicing the Ligar 0 in the two front legs, "Not quite enough."
The Ligar 0 stumbled over it's own front legs, but before hitting the ground it managed to swing it's strike laser claw at the Blade Ligars neck. Both zoids collapsed in a heap, both pilots laughing. Bit climbed out of the cockpit and over to Clouds.
Cloud opened his cockpit as Bit approached. Both pilots had grins on their faces, and they shook each others hands heartily.
"Nice work Bit Cloud." Cloud stated, running a hand through his silver hair, "I didn't think you'd get me in the end like that."
Bit laughed, "Your just getting slow in your old age Cloud Light-Feather."
Cloud looked at him, "Old? Im not old."
"Your 42 and I say that's old." Bit said, "But not as old as Doc, and you don't still play with zoid models."
"How many does he have now?" Cloud asked.
"Who knows. He almost killed Rion the other day for accidentally knocking his newest one off the table."
LightStrike suddenly appeared next to them and roared bringing their attention back to the battle. They watched intently as the end of the fight drew near.
**********************
Rain continued to circle Rion, bringing him higher and higher. When she was sure he was too frightened to get in the way, she went into a dive, surprising him out of his wits.
The Kaiser dove almost strait down, strait for the desert sands.
"Are you nuts!?" Will yelled, watching as the Kaiser approached the earth so fast it seemed like it was only a blur, "You'll kill yourself!" Will descended to a much more comfortable height.
Rain pulled up on the controls, seconds before impact, spreading the Kaisers wings wide. It now flew feet above the sands, headed extremely fast to the Blade Ligar.
Too fast for Rion to react.
The Kaiser hit, locking its arms around the Blade Ligar. It's speed picked the Blade Ligar clear off the ground as the two headed strait for the face of one of the surrounding cliffs. Seconds before the collision Rain let go of the Ligar and pulled up, sending the Ligar deep into the rock face, and taking off into the air with out a scratch.
"Damn that was a cool move!" Izumi said from her zoid on the sidelines. She continued to watch intently as Rain now flew at an amazing speed toward the, now not as high, Raynos, "She's using the dive like a roller coaster, the huge dive gave her killer speed and now with her boosters on she's able to fly strait up, faster than ever!"
The group all saw that what she said was true, and they watched as Rain's blades sliced right through the unsuspecting Raynos, sending it to the ground.
"The battle is over!" The judge called, "The battle is over! The winner is..." Suddenly an explosion rang out and the judge capsule was sent flying, just as a cold new voice said, "The winner is me."
Rain didn't even know what hit her. She was sent spiraling to the ground, and within seconds collided violently, sending a cloud of sand and dust everywhere. The cockpit shattered, and she was thrown out and onto the hot desert sands. Suddenly a large, sky blue WhaleKing appeared below the clouds. It quickly opened fire on the hover cargo.
Orihime managed to put the shields up just before the missiles hit, sending smoke everywhere.
"Mom!" Koh yelled, jumping out of his Iron Kong. The shattered glass sliced his hands wide open, but he didn't care. His arm was burning, but that also didn't matter... the only thing on his mind was his mother. He ran as fast as he could, tears in his eyes. His mother had taken some pretty nasty dives before, but none like that. He had this nagging feeling, this pain in his heart, that his mother was in trouble this time.
The others were all heading off the cliffs, all the aerial zoids taking flight and heading toward the WhaleKing. The Bahamut 0 was out in front, it's superior speed bringing him far ahead of the others.
Zack elevated and flew strait at the WhaleKing. He was almost there when he suddenly smacked into something... electric charges were sent through the zoid and pilot alike, and the dragon fell, its wings damaged. As he fell, electricity still running through his zoid and himself, Zack managed to say, "Don't... it has a force field..." With that he fell unconscious, and collided with the ground.
Everyone stopped in their tracks except Koh who was still rushing towards his mothers wrecked zoid.
Nadia was trying to get out of her zoid but the cockpit was jammed shut and she couldn't escape. She had tears in her eyes and was sobbing, "Mom."
Cloud and the others who were still conscious but who's zoids couldn't move were also running toward the Kaiser. Koh was closest and was quite a distance ahead of the others.
Suddenly an arrow came out of nowhere and Koh stumbled. He landed face first in the sand, a sudden shot of pain running through his side. He tried to push himself up, but couldn't. He felt weak and tired all at once, and unconsciousness gripped him.
"KOH!" Nadia and Hiro both screamed. Nadia rammed as hard as she could on the cockpit with her shoulder. It was no use. She hit it one last time and gasped out in pain as she fell back to the seat, gripping her shoulder. Tears streamed down cheeks.
Rei pushed his zoid toward Koh's unconscious body, while the others on foot ran. Then, the unthinkable happened. Koh disappeared.
"What the Hell!?" Izumi yelled. One second he was there, the next, gone. She slammed on her control panel, "Who the hell is doing this!?"
"I am." A voice rang over the battlefield. It was the same cold, cruel, male voice that had interrupted the judge earlier.
"Who the hell are you!?" Izumi screamed in pure rage.
"I am..." The voice stated, cold as ever. "Sin."
"Where is Koh!?" Hiro yelled angrily.
"He is mine now." The voice answered. "Though I wanted the two Demi- Humans..."
Clouds blood ran cold. This person, this Sin, he knew about the Demi- Humans. He knew about Rain and himself. But, why did he take Koh!? Why did he take Koh if he wanted the two Demi-Humans? And who was he!? Only his friends new about the Demi-Humans.
"I took Koh for my own reasons." The voice said. "I see that the two Demi- Humans I was after are no longer what I want."
Rain opened her eyes slowly, her entire body shaking and cold. Blood was spilled around her, and she lay in a pool of it. She coughed slightly, more blood escaping from her lips.
She felt tired. Very tired. She looked up slightly, not moving her head. That's when she noticed the figure standing at the front of her cockpit... this figure, it was so familiar. It was so... she couldn't think. She could barley see the figure before her, only catching it's outline and it's eyes. Its eyes seemed to watch her... cold green eyes that seemed filled with nothing but hatred.
The Kaiser pilot stared a few seconds longer, feeling her eyelids grow heavy. Her two different colored eyes, the silver and the hazel, slowly closed and she fell unconsious once again...
