By: fairysphinxfairysphinx: Hello all! Here's chapter three of 'Baby Girl." Hope you like it! ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids; I never have, and I probably never will.
Mia ran down the street, tears streaking down her face. He yelled at her! He actually yelled! She put on a burst of speed, and ran blindly into something. Something hard. Mia wiped her eyes, and looked up. Shadow looked down at her. He made a noise, in his own tongue.
"No, I don't know what's happened to Waven, and I don't care!" Shadow talked again. "How is Mia supposed to know? There were two boys, a lady, and a silver owganoid." Shadow made a noise, somewhat similar to a squeal. "Yes, it was silver." He eyed her. "I'm sure." Another sequel, followed by a sequence of growls. "Fine." Mia climbed on his back, and he took off.

Raven lay on the bed in his cell. His supper lay on the floor, by the bed. It had been there for three hours, and was still untouched. Van looked down at it and sighed.
"You have to eat, Raven." He made no response. "I know you can hear me, so don't act like you don't."
"Just leave me be. You've caught me. I admit it. So how long are you going to go on torturing me?"
"I'm not trying to torture you."
"Could have fooled me," Raven muttered under his breath. Van sighed and walked away.
'So, is this what you mean, my fate being sealed?'
No, as a matter of fact, it isn't. Though, you're not far off.
'Should have know. It probably wouldn't be as nice as this.'
In comparison, the cell you're in right now is a palace, filled with gold, jewels, and many, many luxury items.
'Is Shadow okay?'
He is determined. That is all I can say about him. Organoids aren't as easy to read as people like you and Van.
Raven cringed at his name. 'And Mia?' No answer. 'Hey, what about Mia?' Nothing. Raven growled, and turned on his side, falling into a fitful sleep.

"How is he?" Fiona asked, as Van walked in the room.. Dr. D handed him a cup of coffee. For a moment, he just sat and sipped at the steamy brew, before answering.
"Not too good. He's refusing to eat. But the thing is, he actually admitted defeat. Why?"
"Well," Fiona concluded, "it could be because of that girl. You know, the one he yelled at? He seemed to loose heart, as soon as she ran off."
"I agree with Fiona," Thomas stated. Van rolled his eyes.
"Come in, Lieutenant Flyheight (?????spell check, please?????)!" the walkie-talkie blared.
"Lieutenant Flyheight here," Van said picking it up. "Have you found the Geno Breaker?"
"No, Sir, but we have found Zoid prints, heading strait to the base you are staying at. We're not sure what it is yet. I think, though, that it's not a matter to take lightly."
"All right. Thank you. We'll look into it." Van set down the walkie-talkie. "Looks like we're going to have company."
At that moment, the base began to rumble and shake. "I'll bet anything that it has something to do with Raven! I want you guys to stay here, while I go and check on him!" They were about to object, but he ran out of the room, and down the corridor.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raven shot up on the bed as the whole room started to shake. There was a noise that sounded like roaring. The walls began to crumble. Someone, almost inaudibly, ran down the corridor. A large crack, and several small cracks showed in the wall. He ducked in a corner of the room, and covered his head, as it collapsed.
Van, who was standing in the shadows, stumbled in amazement. There, towering over Raven, was the Geno Breaker. He tried to call for help, but his hands were trembling too badly. Raven, though, seemed surprised. Who could be piloting it?
Van suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't let Raven escape-again. He unlocked the door, entered it, and cuffed him. 'There! Where he goes, I go! And they'll be able to find me, with the locator!'
The cockpit of the Geno Breaker opened, and down jumped none other than Mia, white-faced, shaking terribly, holding a gun. She pointed it at Van. "Hey, easy there, I'm unarmed. Can we talk this out?"
"Tuwn (turn) out youw (your) pockets!"
"Wha?!"
"Tuwn out youw pockets!!!"
"Why?!"
"Do as the young lady says. She had a gun. Do you want her to shoot you?" Van hastily emptied his pocket, trying to cover the locator with a piece of paper. But he wasn't quick enough for Mia's sharp eyes. She walked over, and stomped on it several times, before she was satisfied.
"In the Zoid, now!" The boys crammed into the cockpit, followed by Mia, who sat in the pilot's seat. "Let's go, Shadow!" The Geno Breaker turned, and flew at top speed out of the base, into the sunset.

"Where's the key for these dumb handcuffs?"
"I don't have it."
"What do you mean, you don't have it?!"
"I dumped it out on the floor. And we can't break out of these. They were designed especially for prisoners like you. Unbreakable."
"GRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They had traveled far. Mia was just now getting her color back, and was cheerfully playing with Shadow. "Mia, come here!" The little girl cautiously bounced over to him (she didn't like Van). "I'm proud of you. How you handled Shadow and the Geno Breaker. You did exceedingly well, considering you're only five." He paused, thinking about the gun. "And it looks like I'm going to have to teach you a thing about guns. You can't hurt a fly while it's on safety." Raven smiled down at her. * Van falls down, anime style, bringing Raven down with him; Mia sweatdrops *
"You mean to tell me that she threatened me, and the GUN WAS ON SAFETY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Van asked, getting up.
"Yeah. That and it was out of ammo," was Raven's reply.
Mia yawned, and curled up in Raven's lap. The boy stroked her hair, as she fell into a dreamless sleep.
END OF CHAPTER THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fairysphinx: Hee, hee! Van's been kidnapped! I'm evil. This is probably going to go to PG, for the violence. But, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Oh, and the part about the gun on safety? Just in case you didn't know, Raven pulled a gun on Prozen, I think it was right after Van's dad died. But, the gun was on safety, so, that's why I pulled that in. Welp, please, please, PLEASE review!!!!!!
