Zoid Academy
The Falling Sky
With the battle on the line the two boys decided for one last attack and winner takes all. The Zaber's collided against each other in mid air. Their jaws and claws thrashed to destroy each other before they both crashed against the ground. Sky's Yellow Zaber hit first and rolled across the ground several times before it came to a stop. Sky had hit his head on impact against the control panel and he had a good size gash across his head. Lucas Red Zaber had made a tumble backwards and laid on its back. Sparks and exposed wires exploded out of the creatures from their damaged parts and nether of them moved.
Raziel checked his monitor to make sure the pilots were ok, "Seems like they are fine. A few bumps and cuts, but they are ok. I guess it's a draw then."
"Oh, no," Loki shouted as he walked out further, "One of you get up! Who ever is first is the winner."
"Loki, the boys are spent. You can't push them any-"
"Be quiet! Your soft compassionate way means nothing when it comes to battles, Raziel. They will prove you wrong."
Sky groaned softly, "Oh, I don't think I can. My head is aching."
Lucas lifted his head slowly reaching out for the controls, "If you don't get up then I will."
The Red Zaber began to roll over to its feet. It's gears and stabilizers began to spin in an attempt to get up. It growled and roared in its struggle. Its legs were damaged badly and it could hardly manage lying on its legs, but Lucas was pushing it to stand. Sky saw his attempt and it fueled him some to try. He gripped the controls lightly and urged for the Yellow Zaber to stand. The Zaber obeyed without struggle and its stabilizers stun at a high rate that the friction began to heat everything up. Sky could hear the cries from the Red Zoid and the Yellow Zoid in an attempt to stand. He gripped his head trying to stop the sound. Their cries were as loud as a human dying of pain. He couldn't stand hearing anymore of it and he pulled down on the controls letting his Zaber fall back against the ground in defeat. Sky didn't want to win this way, it just didn't seem right to him.
Loki applaud as Lucas got his Zaber fully standing, "Ah, now there's a powerful pilot for you."
Raziel shook his head as he headed over to Sky's Zoid, "Just go get the kid, Loki. I'll get this one."
Sky popped the cockpit open and began to crawl out slowly. He slid out and landed on the dusty ground with a thump. Raziel offered his hand, helping him back on his feet. He pushed back Skys hair to see the long gash on his head, "That's a bad hit you took. You may need stitches for that one."
"No. . .I'm fine don't worry. So I lost. . .what happens now?"
"I don't believe that you lost. I know you threw that match, in my eyes you won. As for what happens now, well that's your choice. Now, come along let's go meet up with your friend," Raziel began walking back, not even waiting for Sky. Sky stood there wondering on what Raziel said. It was strange in a way, he liked Raziel advice and it made sense. Lucas advice was more straightforward and it was from his point of view. Raziel allowed Sky to think for himself. Sky took a deep breath and followed after him.
Loki helped Lucas out of the cockpit, "Good strong win my boy."
"You think so? I mean it wasn't easy. . ."
"Oh? Are you sure? You hardly had any problems taking him down. That was your power at work. The weak fell from it. Think of how powerful you can be once your power is trained by League X. I would personally train you."
Lucas looked at him with a surprised look, "Really? Wait, what about my friend?"
"Well with some training I'm sure we can turn him into a good pilot," Loki said with a sly grin, "So what do you say?"
"I say that I'm in all the way for this."
Raziel was wrapping Skys head when Lucas and Loki approached. Lucas didn't even ask if Sky was ok and he took his seat with a proud grin. Sky studied Lucas for only for a moment before turning away. His grin was unsettling and he didn't like it one bit. Raziel tied the bandage on Skys head before standing up, "Well now that everyone's here. It's time for the choices to be heard. So, boys which place are you going to?"
Lucas laughed lightly for no real reason, "We're going to the League of course. Sky can get better training there to be just as good as me. We don't need your Academy."
Sky sat there in silence with his head down. He hardly ever spoke against Lucas choice, but this time it felt entirely wrong and Lucas wasn't himself either at lest that was what Sky thought.
Raziel raised an eyebrow as Lucas spoke, "Oh? Are you sure that Sky even wants to go there?"
"Am I sure? He goes where I go, right Sky?"
Sky shook his head lightly and spoke in a low whisper, "Not this time. . ."
Lucas got up out of his chair, "What?!"
"Lucas, you're not yourself. I mean listen to you. You sound like a crazy lunatic," Sky got out of his chair too just as Lucas did.
"You want to go to the Academy don't you?"
"Oh good job genius, did you figure that out yourself?" Sky snapped.
"Fine! You know what I don't care anyways. You've just been holding me back the entire time. You're nothing without me. When we meet again I will crush you," Lucas lifted his hand up and then closed it in front of Skys face. Lucas turned his back on Sky and went to Loki, "Let's go now. I'm tired of this place."
Sky watched his tall figure walk out with the sneering Loki. Sky had his hands clutched together, shaking. His eyes watered with the rush of different emotions he felt. He had felt the touch of anger and the slap of betrayal on his face. His entire life people had stayed with him and then dump him off. He felt like exploding right there but before he lost control of himself he felt a blanket pressed against his shoulders. Sky looked at it as if he never seen a blanket before and he looked to Raziel who put it there.
"Get some rest, it's going to take me a bit to get things ready for us to leave. It will do you some good to get some sleep."
"Raziel. . ."
Raziel stood in the doorway looking at him. His white hair blew to the side as his clear face looked down to the broken Sky, his eyes ever so wise and caring yet they masked the emotions that Raziel held, "Yes?"
"Do you think I made the wrong choice? I mean sure it's good for you, but what would you do if you were me?"
Raziel lifted his head ever so slightly as he smiled to himself, "Sky, I can't tell you my answer."
"Why?"
"You're use to Lucas who handed you the answer every time. You have to learn for yourself. Form your own opinions and thoughts. I know what he said may of hurt you, but you are much more without him Sky. You just have to open your wings and try it for yourself," Raziel gave him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry so much. Much more awaits you."
Raziel left Sky there in the building to himself. Sky sat down on the couch gripping the blanket some. Was Lucas really blinding him that much? Sky cocked his head back some, "Alright then. I'll do my best to beat you Lucas. I'll show you what the Sky can do when you underestimate it. Just wait!"
