New chapter! YAY!!! If I take long to write these it's because I'm having a
brain block, so forgive me! I'll try to do it fast!
Disclaimer: Leoqua is the same as Leoblaze, just a different color, so he really isn't my character, but his role as a spirit is, so partial credit goes to me. I own the spirit, but not the name or look. I guess I can do that, can't I?
~~~Chapter 4: Enter Leoqua: A Past, A Prophecy, A Promise~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm real."
[Great, he can read my mind.]
"Only when you wear your feeling, as if trying to speak, but can't. You show your feelings too well, for better or worse."
"Who are you? The Shield Liger? A prankster? Or, ah, just tell me!"
"I am Leoqua. I will tell you our story, Eircad, just listen."
Eircad could barely move, the voice was comforting, yet pierced him with a constant flow of evil. The voice was weak; there was something wrong, for it struggled. He wanted to get out. He wanted to call Tristan, maybe he did something wrong. This wasn't right. He wanted to stay too, it was all so strange. He sat back, his mind and his body taking two separate roads. "Go ahead. Explain."
A light roar emerged throughout the cockpit, and a small picture appeared in front of him. A smaller sized Zoid stood in the image; it flickered, showing its age. It was a brilliant Blue color, even more stunning then the blue of the Shield Liger. It was shaped like a lion, proud and sturdy. "Eircad, I'm Leoqua, the master of four legged Zoids. I was nearly defeated, so I ended up in this Zoid's core. I don't know how though. I have given this Shield Liger a special gift. You must protect this Zoid with your life Eircad. He holds the future of Zi. There are 3 others like him that I know of. You must join together. There is a prophecy, we must fulfill it."
The image changed to show yet another small Zoid, one that stood on two legs and was too a blue shade, though not as wonderful a shade as Leoqua. His coat was that of a corrupted burned blue. He stood in a hunched fighting position, red fire burning in his eyes. Eircad watched as Leoqua and this other Zoid fought a long drawn battle. Clash after clash, strike after strike, shot after shot, the battle was one that seemed to water down any Eircad had ever seen. This was one of the legendary battles of Zi. "Alright Leoqua, what is the prophecy?"
There was a long silence. The computer germinated a slight hum. Another voice then sounded throughout the cockpit. It was neither a male nor female voice, yet it was soft and gentle, "Eircad. He is weak. Leoqua is inside my core restoring his strength. I am your creation. But Leoqua made my core to heal in. I know the prophecy. It goes like this: The sky trio will become twins, and the land will split. One will rise above the others; one who's veins flow of the blood of the machine. He is who will join with the infantile Blades Of Hope, and will bring into union the four spirits of the world to fight the dark past. Though an ancient evil union will become one again, free him you must. Rise the Matrix will, for Zi is its destiny. The dark half must fall. Bring peace to the land of metal life."
Eircad gazed at the screen, where the Shield Liger had made the words show. His mouth was opened slightly, and he couldn't close it. His eyes had a hint of wonder in them, yet he couldn't speak. "I don't want to be forced to fight."
Eircad took a deep breath and sighed a little too loudly, "Wh- what?"
"I just don't want to simply be known as a weapon of war. Leoqua, he created me. Can't he just stop me from being used?"
"We need you to help us bring peace to Zi! Zenevas Empire is will overthrow us and create a society that would destroy us all. That is why the Republic must be the victors!"
"You truly a fool to the rules of a government plan."
Eircad's flat face returned and he simply stared at the screen, which Leoqua hadn't turned off, "WHAT?"
"I believe that the Empire was told the same thing. That the Republic would create a society for them that would destroy them. This is why I wish not to fight. I wish not to take sides in an equal battle. It's all a big fluctuating swift of power, always changing. In the terms, there is always a bigger fish."
"I understand, but one side has to win eventually."
"Not if I can help it. I will fight for the Republic, but only if you and I make on Imperial friend."
"An Imperial friend," Eircad repeated his words. "I can do that. I promise that we'll make and Imperial friend, Shield Liger!"
