Chapter Four: Amber Obscura
"Ruby... Your sister is here," a voice said.
Ruby was laying in bed, on her side, facing the wall. She had learned that the three Zoid pilots who had saved her were plain and simple Mercenaries. It was three days after the Mercenaries had helped out in the battle against the Elephander.
The Gun Sniper was piloted by Kyle, a tall thin faced teenager. He had black hair cut short, and hazel eyes. He was quite experienced in Zoid battles. He was only 17 years old, though.
The black and gold Saber Tiger was piloted by Kruger. Kruger was a tall teenager, as tall as Kyle. Kruger had dark brown hair with blue eyes. He was also experienced in Zoid Battles, but on the downside, he was only 16. Not yet old enough for the Army.
Lastly, the Saberlion was piloted by Alex O'Connell. He was tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was the oldest of the three, and the leader as well. He was 20 years old.
All three of the Zoids and the pilots disappeared after the battle with the Elephander. The whereabouts of both Mercenaries and the Elephander are still unknown from the previous battle.
"Ruby, I said your sister is here," the voice said again.
"Sure... Tell her to come in here," Ruby mumbled sleepily.
"Alright."
In a few minutes, Ruby's sister walked into the room. She was just as tall as Ruby, with deep red- blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She walked over to the bed, shook Ruby a little and said;
"C'mon, I know you're up!"
"Amber... Go away. I'm trying to get to sleep."
"Ruby, you told me to come and see you!" Amber complained.
"Not at five in the morning... Especially on a Saturday!"
"Oh, well I'll just keep the new Zoid that dad gave you..." Amber turned around, and folded her arms.
"The Old Man gave me a new Zoid? What is it?" Ruby asked as she rolled over in bed and sat up, suddenly alert.
"A Saberlion equipped with a Particle Depleting Shield..." Amber began.
"A Particle Shield! Where on Zi did he find that?"
"In the junk shop."
"Where is this Saberlion?" Ruby asked skeptically.
"Now, no need to get pushy. Whether or not you paid attention to me, I would have still had to give you the Zoid. anyhow, its in the hangers along with the rest of your Zoids," Amber said, turning back to Ruby.
"Okay... Hey, Amber, do you think I could ask you a question?"
"You just did, but sure."
"Do you know any Mercenaries?"
Amber thought about it for a second, then said, "Cant say I've had the pleasure... No, I haven't met any."
Ruby nodded. "I didn't think you would have. I'm looking for three of them, all working as a team."
"Why?" Amber asked curiously.
"I want to thank them for helping out in the battle with the Elephander... They saved me and Rio, you know."
"Well, I'll keep my eyes open, until then, I don't know a thing about the Military's operations."
Ruby nodded again. She stood up. Her and Amber were exactly the same height, with almost the same color hair. The only difference was that Amber had blue eyes, not green.
"Well, off to the land that I know nothing.... See you later, Ruby. Dad wants you to come home soon."
"Wait... Amber, why not join the Military with me? We could be an invincible team!" Ruby smiled.
"I would, but I don't think that I'm made for battles. Besides, what Zoid would I use?"
----------------------------------------------------
A few hours later, Amber and Ruby were in the hangers.
"Ruby, I don't feel right in this Zoid..." Amber called down from the cockpit of a Storm Sworder.
"Then get out and try the next one," Ruby called back. Ruby was immensely enjoying herself.
Amber had joined the Military. The only thing she had to do now was to pick the Zoid that most suited her for combat. She had tried most all of the Republican Zoids, and was getting down to the last few. The next Zoid in line was a Lightning Saix. It was the regular color, model, and everything.
When Amber jumped into the cockpit, she was surprised. She felt as if this would be the Zoid that she would use.
"Ruby, can I take the Saix out for a test?" Amber asked.
"Sure. The Hanger Doors are opening, so you should get out while you can," Ruby called.
It was true. The hanger doors were opening up. The Zoid coming in them was a Liger. It stopped in an empty Zoid hanger section, and the pilot got out, shut the door to the Liger's hanger, and left.
"Alright, Amber, go out there, I'll be right there with Wolf," Ruby gave the thumbs up sign to show Amber she could go.
The Lightning Saix was built for speed, mobility, and to out maneuver any Zoid that crossed its path. Amber was neatly harnessing that power, using it to maneuver in and out of the trees to the left of the base.
When Ruby came out, it was with her new Saberlion, and not Wolf. Both Ruby and Amber were testing their new Zoids abilities. Neither of them would be ready for what would happen in the day to come.
