Chapter 8: Sometimes Even I Don't Know What to Do

" Shadow get Ebony out of here!" shouted Raven as he sat in Thunder Raven trying to hold off the imperial army. " I'm not leaving your side," said Ebony her cold eyes watching the zoids. " Go Ebony, just go I don't want to lose you two," said Raven. " No, we'll be fine," said Ebony as tears flowed down her face, but turned and ran with the bundle in her arms.



End Flashback



" Vengance, my son," Ebony whispers as she holds her 1-year-old son in her lap. He had been only about one month old when the army had attacked. He had dark-blue hair which reminded Ebony of her father. He had, had dark blue hair and that's one reason his name was Crow. " Vengance Harp," says Ebony as she looks at her son who had the dark purple eyes of his father. " Ebony is that you," shouts a voice over the com. link and Ebony looks out the cockpit and blinks. There beside her running was Gabriel in a black shield liger that looked pretty scratched up. " Gabriel," says Ebony and stops Lee in a split second jarring herself. " Ebony," says Gabriel as he runs over to the now 20 years old woman. She stands there with Vengance in her arms. " What happened to the others?" asks Ebony before he hugs her. " Well Myrica and Kouraji are living in the Wind Colony with Van and Fiona," says Gabriel. " What about Ignite?" asks Ebony. " You wouldn't believe me if I told you," says Gabriel breaking out in a grin. " You don't mean he married Siroka do you?" asks Ebony. Gabriel just nodded and smiled as he noticed Vengance. " How's V?" asks Gabriel using his nickname for his nephew. All of them were like brothers and sisters so they counted each kid as a member of the family.



" He's fine," says Ebony and then looks at Gabriel with pleading eyes. " What about Ra . . . Raven?" asks Ebony. " I...I don't know," says Gabriel. " Mommy," says Vengance. " Yes, Vengance?" asks Ebony. " He can talk!" exclaims Gabriel and Ebony nods. " He's smart," says Ebony. " Where daddy?" asks Vengance quietly. " I don't know dear," says Ebony and Vengance nods off to sleep. " Don't you?" asks a voice in Ebony's mind. Her head snaps up and she looks behind Gabriel to see a badly damaged Saber Fang walk toward her. Tears start streaming down Ebony's face as she runs toward the Saber Fang and trips over some brush and falls down on her face. Vengance blinks from where he stands next to Zero where Ebony had put him.



" Ebony . . . I'm so sorry," whispers Raven as he stands stock still afraid that she will leave him. " For what?" asks Ebony as she wraps her arms around him. He blinks and then returns the hug. "Where's Vega?" asks Raven. " Over there," says Ebony pointing to Vengance. " Wow he can stand," says Raven. Ebony smiles and points to Raven. " Hey Vengance it's your dad," says Ebony. " Daddy," says Vengance smiling. " He can talk!" exclaims Raven.



" The kids a genius just like his Mom and Dad," says Ebony as she tosses Vengance in the air and Raven catches him. " What happened to the others?" asks Raven. " Well Ignite married Siroka, Kouraji and Myrica are living with Van and Fiona in the Wind Colony and I guess Edge's most likely with Siroka and Ignite," says Ebony. Raven nods and looks at Ebony and his son. " So Ebony what are we going to do now?" asks Raven. " I don't know Raven I truly don't know," says Ebony and quietly looks up at the sky. " But whatever it is we'll do it together," says Ebony. " So you still live by your saying?" asks Raven. " It's changed," says Ebony. " OK so what is it now?" asks Raven. " Stand strong, hold on, and take life a step at a time," says Ebony and she looked up at Lee. Suddenly Freelance appears and knocks Raven off his feet.



" Crazy organoid," says Raven jokingly. Yau appears and howls and runs around suddenly an answering call is heard that is high. They all blink in surprise as an indigo colored command wolf appears. Turn appears from inside the command wolf and Ignite jumps out. " Hey sis," says Ignite as he runs up to her and hugs her. " Ignite," says Ebony quietly and then looks at her 17-year-old brother. " So Ignite, I hear that you married Siroka," says Ebony. Ignite nods and a pink command wolf pulls up showering them in sand. Siroka jumps out and looks at them with Simi at her side. " So where are you guys living?" asks Ebony. " Breeze Colony," says Siroka. Suddenly a black Storm Sworder lands and Edge jumped out smiling. " Looks like we have a reunion," says Edge.



" It won't be complete," says Ignite quietly. " What do you mean?" asks Ebony. " Myrica's dead," says Siroka quietly.

" How?" asks Ebony as tears stream down her face. " Cancer," says Edge quietly. Suddenly Ebony takes out her sword and a piece of red cloth with a green stripe down the middle. She stuck the sword in the ground and tied the cloth around the handle and it blew in the wind. She took another piece of pure white cloth out and tied it around the handle. " Rest in Peace Myrica and Dr. Remora," says Ebony and then takes out a pole and sticks it in the ground next too the sword. " Rest in Peace Kouraji," says Ebony as she wraps a flame colored cloth around it and it blew.



" How did you know?" asks Raven. " I just knew, he kilt himself didn't he," says Ebony. They nod quietly as they touched their hearts. Kouraji had loved Myrica and he couldn't live without her. Ebony kneels down and picks up some sand.

" De and Ivory aren't dead," says Ebony as the wind took the sand away across the desert. " But we destroyed their zoids," says Raven. " We destroyed their zoids, but the zoids were sleepers," says Ebony quietly. " De has a son now, and Ivory a daughter," says Ebony and she looks at Vengance. " I know one thing," says Ebony slowly and looks at them. " I'm very sure that I'm going to have another baby in a year or so," says Ebony. Raven blushes at that comment, but Ebony just looks around.



She took out her flute and played an extremely high note. Suddenly the ground starts to shake and a door appears and Ebony walks in followed by Lee. Inside stood Snowstorm, Thunder, and Blue. " I sent them ahead of me, but all of the other zoids were destroyed," says Ebony. They all nod knowing that. " We'll have to start over," says Ignite. " No, we won't," says Raven quietly. Ebony nods and walks over to a button and pushes it. " This place has enough food, water, and necessities for 15 years," says Ebony. " We're going to disappear, well all except Raven," says Ebony quietly. Raven nods knowing what she means. " He'll bring messages from the outside world," says Ebony.



She pushes another button and the door closes. Then she throws a couple of switches and five doors open. " This is the hanger and down that halls the cafeteria," says Ebony. " I take it this is our room," says Ignite pointing to a pink and green door. " Yes, each door it color coded," says Ebony. Siroka and Ignite walk into their room smiling. " This one's mine I take it," says Edge pointing to a blue, red, and orange door. " Yes," says Ebony. " Our room," says Raven pointing to a purple and black door. " Yes, but we also have a private room," says Ebony. Raven nods, and they walk into their bedroom. Ebony smiles quietly as she walks in and locks the door behind her. Gabriel walks into another room knowing it was his.



Three hours later

" Should we wake them up?" asks Siroka pointing to Ebony and Raven's door. " Not unless you want to lose your life," says Edge. They all nod and walk to the cafeteria and fix some food for themselves. " Raven," says Ebony. " What love?" asks Raven quietly. " Thanks," says Ebony and drifts off to sleep in Raven's arms. " Your welcome," says Raven as he pulls the black silk sheets over them.



So how did you like it. I may have to raise the rating, but I doubt it. I know a bit of suggestive dialog, but not much.
