Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids. If I did I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably have a lot less time so I wouldn't be righting this fan fic. If you do sue, all you're going to get is, *digs in pocket, * ten dollars and thirteen cents, some lint, and a library card. I think that's it. Yeah it is, so that's all you'll get from me.



Search, for what?

Part 7



(Sam)



Dang! She's gorgeous! Why didn't I see it before? Leon kept glancing side long at me. I was staring out the window. He didn't know it, but I could read his mind. I had learned that a while ago. Especially when she's depressed.

"How much longer?" I asked looking at him.

"Hmm?" He was way to busy admiring me.

"How much longer?" I repeated.

"I don't know." Leon admitted. Her eyes are astounding! I wonder what they look like without contacts.

"Hmpf." I grumbled as I turned to stare at the barren wasteland that stretched out on all sides of us.

We where headed out towards a river. For what reason, he had no idea. I had only told him where we would start our search for my past.

"There it is." I jumped at the sound of his voice. The river stretched out before us, a greenish blue ribbon in all this dust and dirt.

"Finally!" I sighed.

"What are we looking for?" Leon asked this out of pure curiosity.

"A clue."

"A clue to what?" He was going to go crazy if he didn't get any straight answers.

"My past." Was all I said as he slowed the jeep down to a stop.

My reply had him taken a back for a moment. He shook his head for some reason.

For a moment I just stared at the Snake River. She glanced back at me, then dove in. "Hey!" he cried in surprise. He obviously hadn't expected me to do that. I just grinned and kept swimming.

I didn't know what I was looking for. A feeling of familiarity I guess. I just kept swimming towards the bottom. A flash of something caught my eye. I started to kick my way towards it. I pulled it from the soft muddy ground. I looked at it. It was a small bracelet. One for a little girl. A flash of memory came to my mind.

"Bet I can throw farther than you." I said looking at my brother.

"I'll take that bet. Loser gives the report to home for the next month."

"Deal. You go first though." He chucked a rock into the river, sending it half way across.

"My turn." I chucked a rock as hard as I could. My bracelet came off at the same time I threw the rock. "OH NO! My bracelet!"

"Oh dear. I'm sorry Sam. Don't cry. I'll get you a new one."

"It's okay. It wasn't that important any way." I lied. Dad had given the bracelet to me if ever I was stopped by someone of our kind. It would give me free passage to anywhere in the galaxy.

If I had had this, I would have been home in a heartbeat. If I had had this… Oh forget the ifs. Ifs are no good now. Although, now I can go home! Yeah! Kerodayvania, her I come. I pushed off the floor of the river and rocked towards the surface.

"Find anything?" Leon sat on the bank.

Oh shoot! I forgot! I have a team. I can't drop out on them now. Not when we've got one major winning streak. They've also helped me a ton. I have to repay them before I go home. "Yep!" I replied to Leon's question.

"Well then, come and show me what!"

I swam over and climbed up onto the bank where I leaned onto my elbows. I just sat there for a moment letting the suspense grow.

"Well?" Leon asked after a long period of silence.

"My old bracelet. I lost it before this place became a waste land."

"So what is it that we are searching for?"

"I guess I did kind of leave you in the blue."

"Umm. Yeah you did."

"Sorry. This used to be a fairly good-sized city. When I was six hundred eighty three years old my brother and I where rollerblading around this river. There was an explosion about fifty to sixty miles away. It came from a place called the Sight. It had blown up. My brother was on the fire department. He left to go fight the fire. I stayed in the river, waiting for a chance to come out when the thing I feared most happened. There was a nuclear explosion. That was the last time I saw my brother. I had climbed out of the river and then fell asleep. When I woke up I was on Zi. I'm trying to find out if my brother died or some how got away and I'm also trying to figure out how I got off of this desolate planet."

"That explains a lot more than it doesn't. How do you plan to figure these things out?"

"When I became old enough, I dedicated my life into finding the answers to my questions."

"In other words, we are looking for your brother and the way that you came to Zi."

"Yep."

"Well, then, let's get started."

I stood up and pulled something out of my pocket. Leon looked over my shoulder at it. "What's that?" He asked as I flipped a few switches.

"A sensor utilized to pursue the trajectory of each and every granted individual anytime."

"Can you put that in English?"

"I can follow the path that my brother and I took using this."

"That's better."

"Now, come on." I stood up and turned from side to side. As I turned around as the device started to beep. "Get the jeep."

"Yes master."

We followed the signal out to the middle of nowhere. Here, it stopped beeping. "That's it." I pulled out a vile from my pocket. I put a drop of the liquid on my finger and wiped it across my eyelids. I turned to Leon and did the same to him.

"What's that?"

"I call it 'Sight Juice'. It enables the user to see into the past. Now hush." I started to mumble under my breath. Silver fire flared behind our eyes. A vision started to form in front of Leon and me.



(Author's note: Heehee! I'm going to leave this chapter at that. Put a little suspense in there. Oh and a note. The stuff you'll get if you sue me has gone down. The list is now, thirteen cents, some lint, and a library card. I had a school activity that I had to pay for. Just so you know. Oh and school is getting harder. I'm getting loaded up with more and more homework. Updates will be slower until the end of May. Thank you very much.)
