Chapter VII: White Lone Wolf
.
Doctor Toros Searched the entire Zi database for a wolf type zoid that Naomi described. So far, he turned up empty. Was there such a zoid?
It was useless to search any further. He had been at it for hours but still nothing. He was about to turn off his vid unit when the obnoxious face of Doctor Leyon came to view.
Doc Toros sighed. He didn't need this now.
"What is it, Leyon?" he asked.
"Well, Toros. I wanted to challenge you to a duel," Leyon sneered.
"No," Toros said making Leyon's jaw drop.
"NO?!" Leyon growled. "Why you...."
"Say Leyon," Toros smiled. "Do you know any large wolf type zoid?"
"What are you talking about?" Leyon asked. "I do remember a rumor of a wolf zoid as large as a liger. But it's just a legend."
"Enlighten me," Toros smiled in intrigue. Growling, Leyon opened a cup of noodles and sat on his chair.
"It was after the destruction of the second Deathsaurer that peace came throughout the land. However, not all wanted peace. That's why the Guardian Force was created in the first place. During that time a mysterious white wolf emerged, making its presence known to little. Rumor has it the only ones who had seen it are dead.
"Now somehow it had reached the mountain region of Guylos and they it guards the defenseless."
"Interesting story, Leyon but I don't buy it," Toros said.
"Hey, you asked if I know of such a zoid," Leyon growled.
"Whatever," Toros said. "Call again in a couple of weeks." Before Leyon could say anything else, Toros shut off the com unit.
However outrageous the story sounded, it intrigued him.

Weis Einzelganger finished the modifications he had intended. Although highly theoretical, the weapon system he developed was powerful enough to shatter the shield of a Deathsaurer.
That is, of course, if he got it working.
"Uncle Weis?" Chioni called out. Weis smiled and answered her.
"What is it Angel?"
"Dinner's ready," she said.
"In a moment," Weis said as he replaced the panel.
"Naomi's waiting," she teasingly said. Weis suddenly dropped the panel with a loud clang.
"What?" he stuttered. Chioni giggled as she saw the look on his face.
"You like her," she smiled in realization. Weis blushed and returned to work. Chioni silently watched him, enjoying him squirming for she never saw this side of him before.
"Since when?" she asked softly. But she never expected an answer.
But he did anyway.
"I had the biggest crush on her since... well, since I first saw her in the Zoid channel. I almost flipped when I saw her in the snow. It tears me apart to see her like that. Defenseless, vulnerable and hurt. It was a miracle that I found her."
"It's not a miracle," Chioni smiled softly. "You found your blood on the snow. And that is more than a miracle."
"Is it?" he asked sullenly. Chioni smiled and touched his shoulder.
"I have been watching people ever since I was created," she said. "Everyone revered me as I stood. Then the war came and the Empire unleashed the Deathsaurer. Do you know what it feels like to stand there and watch as the entire world was being destroyed?"
"I didn't care about anything until you found me," Weis said as he faced her. "Never cared at all. Never cared."
"I know," she said.
"People had a tendency to destroy, and I am no different."
"I myself have given up hope on people. The zoidians, then humans. That is until I was awaken by a girl named Annette. I saw the world coming to an end again. But hope still prospered."
Weis frowned as he looked at Chioni.
"How did we end up from Naomi to the end of the world?" he asked.
"Because it would be the end of the world for you if you don't clean up for dinner," Chioni smiled and left.
"She annoys me, but" Weis said as he smiled "Ich kann ihr nichts abschlagen."

Ivers watched in anticipation as the Scout Fox entered the hangar. He saw no bullet holes and no scratches. It was a good sign. Better when the pilot immediately ran towards him to report. He seemed anxious and... happy.
This may be the chance he was waiting for.
"Sir!" the pilot saluted.
"Report," Ivers said.
"Sir, no sign of the one who was destroying our zoids," not good. But either the pilot was crazy or he had something with that silly grin of his. "But I found her, sir."
"Good," Ivers said with a sneer.

"My name's Harry Champ and I am a man destined to be king," Harry said his signature phrase as the Blitz team loaded their zoid in one oh his Whale Kings.
"Yeah, Yeah," Bit said as he shook his head. Leena just sighed.
"Okay Harry, lets hurry so we can leave," she said. "Brad's getting impatient up there."
"I know, I know. But Leena, my sweet..." Harry started but Jaime interrupted them as he ran towards them.
"Hey guys, I got some bad news," he said almost out of breath.
"What is it Jaime?" Leon asked.
"Pierce called. She got information that we need to know."
"Tell us already," Bit said.
"She told me that the Backdraft group was the one who abducted Naomi," Jamie said. "But she can't find out what they wanted with her."
"Does Brad know?" Leena asked.
"Are you crazy?" Jaime exclaimed but suddenly reconsidered that question. "Anyway, he's already resting. The past week made him edgy. "
"Edgy is an understatement," Leena sighed. "On mention of Naomi and he'd freak out."
"At least we're going to get her back," Harry said.
"Maybe we could go skiing while we're there," Leena happily suggested. Everyone groaned at her suggestion.
***
The night was peaceful at Way Station Five. Weis looked out of the window and was satisfied that everything was clear.
Turning around he smiled as he saw Naomi and Chioni cuddled up together in his bed. Chioni had her own room but for some reason she wanted to sleep with Naomi.
He could never say no to her. He couldn't even bear to see her unhappy.
Smiling, he went to them and covered the blanket, making them more comfortable.
He ran the back of his finger gently at their cheeks. Sighing, the vowed right there and then that he would protect them with every power he had.
A howl in the night derailed his thoughts and Weis looked out of the window.
The night was peaceful.

A/n: The phrase that Weis said was German. Although I am not German, I found this phrase in the net. It meant "I can't refuse anything from her." Does this chapter got you thinking?
Please Review! Thanks.
