CHAPTER 11
"Nadia..." A voice whispered, while gently shaking the sleeping girl. Nadia's eyes fluttered open slowly, and she blinked a few times to wash away the bluryness. She turned to the one who was shaking her, surprised to see who it was. Ayane was sitting on the corner of the bed looking down at her.
"Ayane?..." Nadia questioned slightly, still not fully awake.
"Go get dressed..." Ayane whispered quietly as possible, not wanting to wake any of the others in the room, "You want to go get that knife don't you?"
Nadia suddenly remembered and nodded, pushing the covers off her body and climbing out of the bed. Quickly glancing at the clock she saw that it was 7:30, which meant her uncle was probably already awake. She carefully shuffled over to the door, Ayane following her, and peeked outside and down the hallway. Seeing the coast was clear, the two dashed down the corridor and into Nadia's room.
The previous night the two had decided to go and get the knife alone. Why they decided on it eluded both of them, but it just seemed like the right thing to do. They would go to the battlefield, get the knife, and return to the base within a few hours. Simple.
The only problem? Sneaking out of the base and taking their zoids without anyone knowing.
"Are you sure you want to go alone?" Ayane asked, once they had locked to door.
"Yeah." Nadia nodded.
"Ok then," Ayane said, "Hurry and lets get going."
Nadia walked over to the closet and looked through her outfits, finding the one she wad going to wear. Ayane turned away and Nadia began to dress herself. After getting dressed she quickly ran a brush through her long silver hair, and placed the birthday necklace that Koh had given her around her neck.
"Alright, lets go." Nadia said, leading the way out the door. The two quickly and quietly dashed down the hallway, toward the main room. Staying as close as they could to the hallway wall, they made their way closer and closer.
Various voices began to make their way to the two girls ears, and they came to the end of the hall. Nadia chanced a glance around the corner, seeing that all the adults, minus her mother, were together eating and talking about things. She gave a quick nod to Ayane and the two took off down another hallway, in the direction of the hanger.
They soon found themselves at the main cave, the roaring sound of the brilliant ever flowing waterfall drowning out the clatter of their metal tipped boots against the rock floor. Together they dashed across the cave, and into the mouth of an even deeper cave that led to where all the zoids were being kept.
The floor of the cave began to curve and slant downward, so the two slowed their pace to avoid falling. They eventually came to a long, dark, curved tunnel that was wide enough for the zoids to make their way through, and tall enough so that the zoids heads wouldn't scrape against the top. After a few moments they saw the end, with a soft light shinning through.
Nadia stopped at the end of the tunnel, her back pressed against the wall. She knew that the adults were now right above them, enjoying their breakfast. And now she was placed with a problem.
The large glass wall that was right above them.
"How are we going to get to the zoids?" Ayane inquired quietly, "They'd see us if we just walked over to them..." Then she paused and said, "How are we going to get the zoids out without them noticing.
"Im thinking..." Nadia said looking down at the ground. An idea struck her suddenly and she looked across the hanger at her zoid. It was in the corner against the right wall, and next to it stood the battered Kaiser. If she remembered right, the Kaiser was so much bigger than her Konig wolf, that it completely blocked the zoid from the view of the adults. The GunGyarados was much closer, and was right beneath the glass wall, making it so you had to be looking almost strait down to even see it. Even then you could barley see it because all around the hanger the wall was indented to form a "roof" above the zoids.
"It won't be too hard... I hope." Nadia said, "Stay against the indented wall. When you get in the cockpit, open your com-link...."
Ayane nodded just as she made her way along the wall and to her zoid...
****************************
Gabrielle made her way down the Chaos-sin's dark, narrow hallways, cursing inwardly to herself about what she had just been informed.
Sin was still going to go along with his original plan.
"Damn him!" Gabrielle sighed, intentionally tripping one of Sin's workers as he passed by her in the hall, "I still can't believe he wants to use the little brat...."
She turned down another, even darker hallway all the while mumbling to herself, "....I should be allowed to do as I please with him... after all I am his great aunt...." She scowled, suddenly thinking of another part in Sin's plans, "And he's going to use 'us' too! Damn it!"
She finaly seemed to come to the door she was looking for. Walking over to the doors control panel, she imputed the passcode, and waited as the Chaos- sin's main computer scanned the numbers. Bright red letters flashed across the screen: ERROR ERROR ERROR...
"What!" Gabrielle gasped.
"I changed the code, demi-human." A voice rang out from behind the "demon" startling her slightly. She turned to face the familiar voice to find Sin standing behind her, still cloaked in the shadows making him almost completely impossible to see. The only part of him visible was his outline.
"Why!?" Gabrielle demanded angrily.
"Wouldn't want any accidents to take place in there now would we?" Sin stated coldly, seemingly glaring at the demi-human.
"Are you saying that I would try something!?" Gabrielle yelled.
"Oh no! I never implied that." Sin said somewhat sarcastically, "I only wanted to take some extra...precautions... to make sure no mistakes are made after all..." He stepped forward, the shadows seeming to almost bath him, keeping his face from Gabrielle's eyes, "Now move out of the way so that I can get through."
Gabrielle scowled as she moved out of the way. Sin made his way forward to the control panel, then, making sure he blocked it from the demi-humans view, he typed in a new set of numbers. The computer immediately recognized the passcode, and the door shifted open.
Sin walked through with Gabrielle following him. The first thing that she always noticed when she entered the room was the thick steam that wove it's way around the floor and machinery. A soft glow could be seen from around the corner, and hundreds of bright cords ran along the pitch black walls.
The two walked around the corner and towards the light, entering a now brighter room. It was filled with huge pieces of machinery, each one buzzing and beeping, or roaring in it's own way. The main floor was levitated high above the bottom of the room, the steam rising from the air compressors, ventilation shafts, and generators located at the bottom making the room glow in an eerie light.
Sin kept his cloak pulled over his head now, the shadows no longer able to hide him. But his cloak would do. Keeping his face glued on one object that was in front of him, he made his way forward.
The room.... the steamy, hot, bright room, was the heart of the zoid. Sin, grasped onto a rail that was in the center of the floor and looked up. There, the source of the light, stood the massive zoids core brilliantly shining, hot, white energy seeming to emanate from its surface... and off to the side was a chair, with a lone unconscious figure slumped down on it. On the figures head was something that somewhat resembled the MCME helmet, but it was attacked to a computer that was in the corner of the room.
The figure laid there motionless as Sin made his way toward him, his cloak pulled low over his face.
Sin nodded his approval as he looked at a small screen on the computer that the figure was attached to. He turned to the demi-human.
"It is time."
