Chapter 3

Krystal, Irvine, and the unconsious Gunsniper pilot, all spent the night out on the desert. It's not like they had much of a choice either! When Krystal finnaly awoke, she realized that Irvine was laying right next to her, and that his arm was draped across Krysal's shoulders. She felt comfortable with this, and tried to snuggle down deeper, closer to Irvine. That's when she realized a fire was going. Krys slowly, inch by inch, moved her hand closer to the hilt of a dagger that she always kept hidden in her boot. When she felt the cold steel, she jumped up and whipped around, dagger at the ready, prepared to defend herself.

"A bit jumpy are we?"

"Who are you?" Krystal looked a little closer at the vaguely familiar sweet looking face in front of her.

"I'm the girl you rescued, the one in the Gunsniper? Don't you remember?"

"Perhaps I do, but just don't want to admit it!"

"Krystal? What was that all about? You and that jumping up thingy, wow. I've never seen anybody move so fast like that! That was amazing! And then you..."

"Shut up Irvine, go to sleep!"

"Don't tell him to shut up, he saved you too!"

"You stay out of this little girl!"

"Little girl! Why I never! Little girl..."

"Be nice to her! She didn't do anything to you!"

"Irvine, stay out of this, she challenged me to a fight!"

"I highly doubt that!"

"I did so, thank you very much, and could have beaten her too, if not for those bandits..."

Krystal threw the dagger at the Gunsniper pilot's feet. It sunk deep into the unprotected tennis shoes. The girl bit her lip so hard it started bleeding to keep back the tears. Blood began to seep from the wound.

"I could have very easily killed you there, little girl, so be gratfull that I let you off the hook, for now."

"That was uncalled for Krystal."

"Shut up Irvine, you want to be next?"

"No ma'am."

"Come on now, we have work to do. I have a bunch of interveiws that i need to get through at my base. I need a team to compete, because you need to compete for money. I need that money for new equipment, and things such as that, for my research."

They travelled silently to the Dragon Base, each in their own Zoids, lost in their own thoughts.

Sorry so short! Homework time. Update soon, I promise!

Luv you all!
