Chapter XV: The Heir of Zi.
.
Naomi Fluegel found herself in a strange place.
It was a beautiful place filled with serenity and peace. She found herself in a field of flowers where the people were happily playing in the field.
But something was strange.
This place seemed familiar to her.
"Princess Eve," a playful voice filled the air. Naomi turned to see its owner. Her heart stopped as she did.
A very young Weis was walking towards a young girl who was making a flower crown.
"Hi!" she said as she hid the crown from view. Naomi blinked as she saw them. Weis's hair had a highlight of red. And the young girl, looked like Chioni.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Weis looked like he was just fourteen years old and Eve as about eight.
"Nothing," the girl was blushing severely as she looked at the ground.
"What is it?" he teased.
"Something for you," she said shyly. Weis smiled and knelt before her.
"Really?" he smiled.
Eve nodded and held the wreath of flowers before him. Weis blushed and smiled.
"For me?" he asked. Eve nodded. Weis bowed and Eve crowned him with the wreath.
"Now you are my Prince," she smiled as she stood. Weis looked confused and frightened.
"But I'm no one," he argued softly. Eve smiled and touched his Privates bars.
"This piece of metal means nothing to me," she smiled. "We didn't have ranks when we met."
"I was just a commoner when I met you," Weis said softly. Eve smiled and slapped his shoulder playfully.
"Now stop that," she smiled. "We're friends and ranks will not come between us."
Naomi smiled. Suddenly, the scenery changed.
Now she was in a hangar with zoids that she had never seen before.
Looking around, she found Weis working on a zoid that looked like a dog.
"Private Einzelganger," one of the officers came behind him. Weis stood at attention and saluted. "At ease." Weis relaxed and looked at him inquiringly.
"Yes sir?" he asked.
"Clean up," the officer said. "The king wants to see you."
"Yes sir," immediately, he tensed. What did the king wanted with him? Probably to reprimand him for seeing his daughter. What ever it was, he was ready.
Weis entered the throne room but he was directed to the royal gardens. Trying to calm himself, he took a deep breath and entered.
"Welcome Private Einzelganger," the king said in an informal matter. Now Weis is really nervous.
"You called for me, your majesty," he said in an official tone.
"Yes," the king sighed. "I'm afraid to ask you to never see my daughter again."
Straight to the point is he? Weis thought. "May I ask why sir?" his voice was strained, close to anger.
"I fear that your presence will not be good for her," the king simply said.
"And why is that, sir?" he asked.
"I will not discuss the personal life of the royal family with a commoner," the king said smugly.
"It concerns my life as well," Weis said, his respect for the king was quickly fading.
"It does not," the king growled. "That is all. You are dismissed."
But Weis will not back down.
"Is it so easy to dismiss something that needs to be attended to?" he asked. "You think that my feelings on this matter is irrelevant?"
"Yes," the king said simply. "Now, remove yourself from my presence before I do something I would regret."
"That I doubt," Weis glared. "You never regret anything." That was the last straw. The king grumbled at Weis's defiance.
"Scribe!" he called out. A scribe entered the garden and was already at the king's side.
"Sire?" the scribe waited for his command.
"Private Einzelganger will be stripped of his measly rank and will be booted out of the imperial army," the king said with venom. "If he sets foot in the castle he will be shot to death."
"Yes your majesty," the scribe said. The king looked smug as he looked at Weis but his smile fell when Weis threw his coat uniform to the king's face. Without another word, Weis turned around and walked out of the palace.
The king smiled at his triumph. But it will be his defeat, for two pairs of eyes watched the entire scene unfold. Two of them, belonged to Eve.
Tears were flowing from her eyes as she ran from the garden. Naomi's heart has fallen for the princess.
Suddenly, Naomi found herself in the throne room but it looked haggard and cracked.
An explosion rocked the palace again and the king hung on to his throne for dear life.
"Report!" the king ordered.
"Sir! The Gil Vader has just wiped out the entire panzer division. And it is headed for the palace!" one of the soldiers reported.
"Is this the end?" the king asked but suddenly the volley to the palace ceased. "What's happening?"
"Sir, one Orudios is holding the Gil Vader at bay."
"Who's crazy enough to do that?" the king asked.
"My prince," Princess Eve suddenly said as she stood by the window, looking at the battle. She looked pale and sickly like death is always near her. "You will never keep him away from me."
"My dear," her father tried to comfort her but he was ignored.
"We will live again and our love will continue," Eve said and collapsed. Outside, the Orudios dived at top speed towards the Gil Vader's cockpit and crashed into it.
The mighty monster was dead.
And so was the Princess's champion.
Eve smiled and closed her eyes.
Naomi found the scenery changing again, this time she was facing a large blue statue like a goddess protecting the people.
"Are you sure about this?" the queen asked.
"This is the only way," the king said. "Zoid Eve will act as a regeneration chamber for our daughter. Once she awakes, she will be cured."
"She doesn't want to be cured," the queen said. The king looked sullen.
"She will be," the king was stubborn as a mule. A trait that led to her daughter's loss.
"If you do this she will be a part of Zoid Eve forever," she said. The king ignored his wife and connected the stasis capsule into Zoid Eve.
A flash of light and Naomi was blinded.
When her eyesight returned, she couldn't believe that she saw.
She was back in the present with Chioni in front of her.
And the Koenig Wolf deflecting the Deathstinger's Charged Particle Gun with its Pin Point Barrier. However, she saw the strain it brought to the Wolf. The blast ended just in time as the Wolf collapsed in system exhaustion.
The count was furious.
"How did that puny zoid deflected the charged particle ray from the Deathstinger?!" he raved as he charger the cannon again.
Suddenly Naomi's radio crackled with a hoarse, fatigued voice. It was as if he was clinging to life by a thread.
"I... I am..." the voice faltered as if he was drawing every energy left in his body.
"I am Weis Einzelganger," the voice said and Naomi's eyes grew in shock. Chioni smiled softly. "Member of the imperial guard assigned to protect the heir of Zi. Princess Eve der Guylos."
His voice was filled with determination.
"And all those who stand between us will BURN!" Weis said. Chioni smiled and looked at the wolf.
"He remembered," Chioni said in mild triumph. She then turned to Naomi and held her hand. "This is farewell."
"What?" Naomi asked.
"We will see each other again," she promised. "Until then," Chioni kissed Naomi's cheek and suddenly glowed. "Take care of yourself and your love."
"I don't..." Naomi didn't finish. She saw something she never saw before.
With a flash of light, Chioni suddenly disappeared and the ray went to the Koenig Wolf.
Miraculously, the Wolf's armor mended and its wounds started to heal. The pure white glow emanated from the wolf as it regenerated its damaged parts.
When the light faded, the Majestic Koenig Wolf was once again whole and did what any rejuvenated wolf would do.
It howled.

End of 15.
.
A/n: The Gil Vader and the Orudios are real zoids, albeit old ones. The orudios looks like a Pegasus with a unicorn's horn. The Gil Vader is the most destructive zoid before the Deathsaurer. If you don't know what they look like, leave your emails when you review and I'll send you the pictures.
Thanks again. And please review.
