Hello! I'm so sorry for not updating. Bad grades and angry mothers have been preventing me. It wasn't my fault, I swear! Have fun!

Chapter 10

When the shot had penetrated the cockpit, Krystal had been caught off guard. The bullets had knocked most of the Dragon Scye's teeth out, except one. But one single, solitary bullet penetrated the thick glass protecting Krystal. The bullet hit her in the chest, reopening an old wound. Krystal looked down to see her dress scarlet red, memories flooded back into her brain, and she passed out, turning her stealth mode off with her.

Arcane didn't see Krystal dive at first, but he saw her now, careening at a very high rate of speed, towards the ground. Impact would surely kill her! Arcane had no choice. He flipped his Dragon Scye to face the ground, turned on the mega-boosters, and dived. With the extra plus of the boosters, he was able to catch up with Krystal. Arcane dropped back a little bit, reached out with the massive claws, and sunk them deep into the metal. It was a strain, trying to hold the extra weight in the air, so he gently eased Krystal to the ground. The three Zoids just stood there, looking at this Zoid that was at first careening down, and now was being eased on to the ground.

Arcane, realizing an air Zoid was of no use to him any longer, began to concentrate with all his might. Then a red and gold Pheonix Liger came streaking out up to where Arcane was.

Arcane opened the Dragon Scye's cockpit, narrowly avoided being shot, and climbed in his Pheonix's cockpit.

"I knew you'd come for me P!"

-Anytime. Now, what do you say, should we kick some bad guy butt?-

"I'm all over it!"

The Pheonix Liger was faster than even Bit Cloud's Liger Jaguer! By running circles around the enemies, Arcane stopped, fired, and took all three out without even breaking a sweat.

-Your on a roll tonight Arcane!-

"Thanks P, but I can't do it without you!"

Quietly sneaking inside, Arcane looked at the scene before him.

The men were covering and protecting their female dates, while the other two Zoids looked over them. One other Zoid was there, it looked like a Command Wolf. It seemed to be trying to stop the others from doing something horrible. His cries could be heard even now. Arcane considered helping him, but decided better of it. sometimes you just have to sit back and let guys do what they have to do.

"Ruby, this was not what I meant! When I asked you to come with me to this dance, I meant to dance, not to make people dance with your bullets!"

"Pipe down Irvine, you don't know when to listen to your heart or your mind. I used you to get here! Don't you see? You're worthless scum on the bottom of my shoe. Now move out of the way, or else!"

"Never, AAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!" And the Command Wolf charged. Going all out trigger happy on those two Zoids. Irvine took a lot of damage at the same time. After having his cockpit area shattered, Irvine finally scared the other two Zoids away. After they were all gone, Arcane ran to Krystal outside.

When Arcane saw the bullet wound and Krystal lying there, her face contorted with pain, barely breathing, something sapped inside of him. His eyes began to cloud over, and he was saying things, doing things without meaning too.

"Call the hospital, get both of them to the hospital! I have some Zoids to hunt." And with that, Arcane climbed skillfully back into his Pheonix Liger, and sped off in the blink of an eye.

If you can figure out who I have a crush on, than I'll give your character a MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE LOTTERY!!!!!!!!!!! Later!
