Zone of the enders:War of the red planet ch:6
Shade traveled through the tunnels going to the underground he looked at the metal interior nothing interesting really to look at just pipes and metal plates upon the walls. After about thirty seconds he reached the bottom. He looked and noticed that the inside of this underground base. There was broken LEVS, pieces of other war ships, and some useless weapons.
"Reina." Said Shade. "I'm going to send you a picture of this place tell me if you have any idea on what this place is ok?"
"Ok." Responded Reina. She paused for a moment and finally responded. Looks like a scavengers place.
Shade heard something coming down the tunnel he looked for a place to hide and found a large crate which would fit his frame if it crouched down. The room was fairly large and had a large place in the middle of the cube like room. The noise was getting louder. Shade could feel his heart beat. The noise got louder and louder. Shade flipped his rifle to his hand and prepared for a fight. The noise was finally in the room. It sounded like boosters of an "Orbital Frame".
"Oh c'mon I'm not ready to fight another frame." Moaned Shade. He heard a voice over his monitor.
"I've spotted you now come out with your hands up." Said the voice.
"Over my dead body!" Shouted Shade. He soon thought to himself , "That was the wrong thing to say." Fortune came out from behind the crate with it's gun pointed toward the unknown frame. It looked similar to his only it had two cocoon shaped boosters with a slit down the middle which released a greenish flame from the exhaust. It had blue plates covering it's body with some white on the back. It was aiming a electric whip toward fortune and it's head looked almost like fortune's only the eyes were blue it had green energy flowing through it's complex crevice patterns.
"Looks man I don't wanna fight you right now I just killed off like thirteen raptors and I'm beat. I also just got a new load in. So if you just leave now I won't fight you."
Shade looked over his vid. Monitor and saw a young man with a red cap on backwards and blue hair sticking out of the front which came in between his eyes and wore a black vest with an orange t-shirt underneath it with the word "Fight!" on it. He also had on some fingerless gloves similar to Shade's. He looked at shade with one eyes opened and seemed like he would play it cool frequently. Shade checked his energy gauge and realized that he was low on energy. "Hey do you have any spar energy cartridges?"
The guy looked at me and rubbed his chin and looked at me with his one eye that was opened and said. "How can I trust some guy I just met and who's probably from BAHRAM or something?"
"Look I just came here to transport some metatron. But un fortunately Someone stole all of it. You're a scavenger right? Do you know about any metatron around this place?"
"Didn't know anything about that. Where was it?" He said.
"There was a wreck around here it was one of space force's carrier's it was shot down about three weeks ago." Responded Shade.
"I didn't even know about a crash. Well there is only seven scavengers that I know of within two-hundred miles here. I doubt that they knew where it was seeing how they hardly make but about eighty bucks in one day and if I didn't see it I'm sure they didn't."
"How can you be for sure?" Said Shade.
"You can never be too sure about anything." Responded the man.
"Well I need to refill my energy gauge can you please let me stay here for a while?" Pleaded Shade.
"Ya I guess, you've got an honest face. I'll let ya stay here for a while." He said.
"Thank you." Said Shade. Fortune kneeled down to one knee and Shade opened up the cockpit and jumped out then waited for the other man to do the same. He did and jumped out just like Shade. The man wasn't wearing a helmet so Shade presumed that their was air in this old base. So he took off his helmet and shook his head so his hair would fit a better look. "My names Shade what's yours?"
"Ark." He replied. "You hungry? I got some food in the back.
"No." Said Shade.
"Alright then I'll just go get your energy gauge, It'll take about forty minutes to refill completely so make yourself at home." Said Ark.
Shade sat down on a couch next to a door which probably went into a lobby. The couch was brown had some tears in it but was still comfortable.
Ark set up the hanger for another frame. About twenty minutes later Ark came in the room and said. "Alright it's ready for your frame now."
I took fortune to the hanger and set it up inside of the hanger a metal pad went across the chest and two other metal pads went around each arm. Shade left the cockpit and looked up at it and awed at its beauty.
