********I DON'T OWN ZOIDS**************************************************
Chapter 4
The Valley Of Despair
"I managed to bribe some of the local Imperial soldiers into telling me some very useful information." David said.
"Like what." Anara said taking a drink of her hot chocolate.
"The soldier I talked to use to belong to a Major Sali Rall's unit. Her unit attacked your village and presumably captured your family." David said watching Anara put her cup down.
"Where is her base?" Anara asked.
David shook his head. "Anara, you know that your family may already be dead."
"If that's true, then I'll bury them. Where is it?" Anara asked.
"You'll need some help." A familiar voice behind her said.
David turned around surprised at who he saw.
"Andrew Fanock, the most feared bandit in recent history. You've never been defeated." David said wanting to run.
"Until I met her." Fanock said sitting down. "My gang had dammed up a river in the hopes to find some rare minerals. Unfortunately, we met with a rather big problem which ended our little operation. She's right here."
"You mean that you were stopped by her." David said in disbelief.
"What do you want, Fanock?" Anara asked him.
Ordering a cup of hot chocolate, Fanock said. "When I first began battling with Zoids for the Republic army, it was fun and exciting. As I grew older, I had lost that feeling and that probably is what made me quit. After I battled you, I realized that I had regained that feeling. The love of feeling the power of your Zoid and knowing that you depend on one another. I saw those qualities in you. From the way you battled, you'll never lose that feeling even when you're a hundred and ninety-five. I wanted to thank you so I'm going with you."
"So what's the plan?" David asked.
"I think it should go like this."
"Major Rall, Andrew Fanock has been captured." An Imperial soldier said.
"Bring him in." Rall ordered.
Fanock was bleeding from his lips. From the way the guards looked, he didn't give in. A quality she loved in a man.
"You know where to take him." Rall ordered.
Before Fanock realized it, he was in a cell. He turned to see a man and a woman in another cell. Fanock sat up to face them.
"What's your story?" Fanock asked.
"We were captured because we resisted eminent domain." The man said.
"Got any family?" Fanock asked.
"Most of our family are in these cells. Our youngest daughter isn't even here. We don't know where she is." The woman said.
Fanock pulled out a small laser and cut his way out of the cell door. A guard tried to rush him and Fanock easily knocked him out. Grabbing the guard's keys, he unlocked the man and woman's cell.
"Who are you?" The woman asked.
"I'm Andrew Fanock and..." Andrew said as multiple explosions rocked the base. "That would be our resident flyboy, David Bee." Fanock put a hand on a comm link he had. "Bee, is she doing good?"
"Good, I'm surprised these Imperial morons don't get up and run away. Not that Anara would let them." Bee said.
"Anara, our daughter is here. I don't see how a Red Horn could..." Anara's father said hearing a loud roar. "That wasn't a Red Horn."
"More of a Liger but we haven't figured out much about it." Fanock said.
Fanock led the entire captured family out to some awaiting Command Wolves. As they were about to make their escape, they heard over their radio.
"No one escapes from my base and lives." Sali Rall yelled. Out of a hanger, a Genosaurer began to walk out. Anara took the Quantum Cat in and ordered the others to get out of there. Rall began to charge the charged particle gun and when she fired, she didn't hit the Quantum Cat, she hit six Command Wolves. Tears began to flow from Anara's eyes. She had been so filled with joy and now that had been ripped away from her in an instant. The Quantum Cat tore towards the Genosaurer at top speed. Anara only knew one thing at the moment. She would not let her live. Suddenly, the cable claw flew from the Genosaurer and struck the cockpit of the Quantum Cat. The Zoid landed hard and roared back at the Genosaurer. Rall aimed the Genosaurer's main guns when...
"MEGALOW MAX!!" Fanock yelled.
The powerful blast nearly missed the Genosaurer but tore off the nose guns. As the Genosaurer turned towards Fanock and begin to power up the charged particle gun, four missiles struck the beast. The missiles halted the energy flow and ended the charge.
"You're not leaving here alive." Anara said to her.
"Didn't I already tell you that?" Rall asked.
The cable claw grabbed the cockpit and began to squeeze. When the Quantum Cat finally suffered a command system freeze, Rall went after the others. Anara lay against her seat crying.
"QC, please wake up. Come on. I know you can do it. Please help me. Please. We have to help the others." Anara said. Bringing her head down on the console, she continued. "Please QC. You're the only one I have left. Don't give up on me too."
Slowly, the consoles began to blink own displaying the battle damage. On one of the consoles read, "NANITES REQUIRE CHARGED PARTICLE ENERGY".
Wait, Anara thought. Isn't the Genosaurer's special weapon a charged particle gun.
"HEY! MAJOR RALL!" Anara yelled.
"So, I see that the little girl is still conscious. Now, she will be dead." Rall said charging up her charged particle gun.
Anara saw that Major Rall had defeated Andrew and David. She hoped this would work. Major Rall fired and the Quantum Cat was struck hard. When the smoke cleared, Rall was surprised to see that the Quantum Cat was fully repaired.
"It can't be..." Rall said.
The Quantum Cat ran towards her at top speed. Its Strike Laser Claw began to glow. The Zoid leapt into the air and cut into the torso section, killing Major Rall.
After Anara buried her family, she wondered what she would do now.
