Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids but I do own Jade and Kawaii plus the Zoids that I invented out of boredom.
An: I thought it would be fun to put New Century Zero before the Chaotic Century so do not ask about thing that happen later in the story.
Chapter 2
Meeting the Two Zoid Pilots
Jade walked into a store called Zoid Parts and More, this was the last store in town and she was hoping to find a certain zoid part that she needed. Jade looked around for a minute then went to find the manager, who happened to be in the next isle.
"Excuse me sir, but do you carry a P156 Command Wolf Joint?" Jade asked.
"No, I am very sorry miss but that part is very hard to get around these parts of town." The manager replied.
"That's ok I didn't expect you to have it anyways. It's kind of obvious, because none of the other stores have it either." Jade said.
Just then from behind the next isle a girl no older than Jade with light caramel colored skin walked up to Jade and said,
"Pardon me, I did not mean to eavesdrop, but I used to have a Command Wolf and I happen to have some extras of that particular Zoid part if you want some." The girl said shyly.
"Well thank you very much. What's your name?" Jade said.
"It's Kawaii Hisharu. What's yours?" the girl replied.
"My name is Jade Tauros. It is very nice to meet you Kawaii. If you are ready to go then let's start, because without that part I can't fight in anymore battles." Jade said signaling for Kawaii to follow her.
Once outside Jade and Kawaii went off to go get their Zoids and they agreed to meet in a certain place. Kawaii got to the place first but she did not see any sign of another Zoid, so she waited until she saw a Zoid that looked like a Command Wolf only it had blades. While the Zoid was coming toward her she noticed that one of the hind legs had a broken joint and because of that the Zoid was moving kind of slow.
"Jade is that you in the Zoid?" Kawaii asked.
"Yes Kawaii it is. You have a very nice Zoid. What is it?" Jade said.
"Oh, mine is called a Blade Snow Leopard. What is yours called?" Kawaii said.
"Mine is called a Blade Wolf, it's one of a kind, but it used to be a Command Wolf before it evolved several times. Unfortunately because of that I can only equip it with the most advanced Command Wolf parts which are very hard to find and get a hold of." Jade replied.
"Well how about get over to my place so we can get that Zoid fixed and so you can tell me a little more about yourself." Kawaii said.
"Fine then let's get going. Oh by the way Kawaii I just want to tell you that you are now one of my few friends." Jade said smiling sweetly.
As soon as they reached Kawaii's house Kawaii took Jade and her Zoid to the hangar and handed Jade the piece that she needed. Jade took the piece and started to remove the old part and began replacing it with the new one. While she was doing this Kawaii asked,
"So, how did you break your Zoid's joint?"
"I was in a tough battle although I won my Zoid happened to suffer some serious damage. I was able to fix everything, but the joint, because I did not happen to have that particular part at the time." Jade replied giving the wrench one last twist and jumping down next to Kawaii.
"Oh, I see…." Kawaii said.
"So what happened to your Command Wolf?" Jade asked.
"One day I was at a shop trying to get some parts for it when this guy walked up to me and asked if I wanted to trade it for the Blade Snow Leopard. I love snow leopards so I accepted it, the man thought he had gotten a good deal because at the time the Blade Snow Leopard would not let anyone ride it. When I got into the cockpit however, it worked perfectly and it let me pilot it." Kawaii said.
"Really? My Command Wolf did the same thing when I found it. I found mine in some old ruins with my older brother, Leon when I was five years old. Since I was the only one who could pilot it my dad let me keep it." Jade said.
"What did your mom think?" Kawaii asked.
"Oh, I never knew my mom, you see she died giving birth to my older sister, Leena. I was adopted…. Please, don't tell anyone." Jade said.
"I promise I won't. I envy you I wish I could go and battle like you, but I'm afraid to go alone." Kawaii replied.
"Thank you. I owe you a lot for all that you have done for me. Hey, why don't you come and join me in Zoid battles, we would make a great team." Jade said.
"Oh, I don't know…" Kawaii replied
"I'll give you a week to think about it, but only if you let me stay here for a week." Jade said smiling at her new friend.
"Of course you can. Just let me prepare the guest bedroom for you." Kawaii said happily.
"If you want I can get your Zoid ready so it can battle, even in you decide not to come. It comes in handy just in case you run into trouble." Jade said.
"Would you? Thanks that would be great." Kawaii said smiling gratefully.
Three days later…
Kawaii had decided to go with Jade and battle Zoids, which left her just four days to get ready and pack for the trip. Kawaii figured she would need plenty of clothes, not to mention food, then there was supplies, extra Zoid parts, cosmetics, essentials and the most important thing of all…money.
At the end of the four days Kawaii had everything she needed except the money. She confronted Jade not knowing what to do.
"Jade, I am entirely ready the only problem is…. I don't have any money." Kawaii said.
"That's ok Kawaii, I have plenty of money for us both to use." Jade said. "Now are you ready to go?"
Kawaii looked around the place, gabbed a picture of her family and nodded her head sadly; she did not like the fact that she had to leave her house behind.
"Don't look so sad Kawaii, we will come back here every once in a while, if makes it you feel better." Jade said putting her arm around her friend's shoulders.
"That would make me feel much better." Kawaii said cheering up. "Do you go back and visit you family every once in a while?"
"Actually I haven't seen my family or my house in nine years. I left to train when I was seven years old." Jade said. "Come on, we better get going or we will have to travel in the dark in order to get to the military base."
"Military base?" Kawaii said looking at Jade questioningly.
"Yes there is a military base that we need to stop at so we can get some decent Zoid parts. I'd say that it is about a three week trip from here." Jade replied.
Kawaii nodded, then she turned around, climbed into her zoid, then she placed the picture of her family in her cockpit where she would be able to look at it and pilot at the same time, then she followed Jade out of the hangar after she locked it and the house. When they were walking back Kawaii took one last look at her house before they left.
Once they were on the road Kawaii realized how fun it was to travel around with other people. She loved watching cities and towns go by, seeing what the people were doing, and learning a little bit about some when they stopped for breaks. After their fourth stop she encountered her first Zoid battle and she tried her best to help Jade.
Jade fired randomly at the pathetic white Zaber Tiger while Kawaii did the same with a blue Zaber Tiger. Finally after a few minutes they got tired of the Zaber Tigers and they used their blades wiping them out and finishing the battle. After the battle Kawaii noticed that the people they had defeated gave them money and she learned that for every battle they won the losers gave them a certain amount of money.
Day by day and week by week Kawaii was becoming a very good Zoid pilot and she was learning things about her Zoid that she never knew about it before. On their third week of traveling they became part of a battle with some tough Iron Kongs. They won the battle but suffered some serious damage as well.
"Aw, man. How are we ever going to get this fixed?" Kawaii asked Jade looking over her Zoid.
"Can your Zoid still walk?" Jade asked looking over her Zoid as well.
"Yes." Kawaii replied.
"Good so can mine. The military base is only about an hour away from here and once we get there we can get our Zoids fixed." Jade said.
"How do you know that they will let us in?" Kawaii asked.
"Well I did a favor for them several years back and they said that I was always welcome to return to any military bases." Jade replied.
Kawaii nodded her head and climbed into her Zoid. She and Jade slowly made their way to the military base. Once at the gate Jade stopped and talked to the security guard. Kawaii had to stay inside her Zoid, she could not hear anything they said, and the guard was not showing Jade any respect. Kawaii saw Jade say something to the guard, which immediately made him salute and let them through. After a few minutes on the base Jade stopped at a repair shop and jumped out of her Zoid, Kawaii did the same as well. Jade walked up to a group of people and asked a boy about her age with black hair tied into a ponytail,
"Excuse me sir, but do you know where the mechanic is?"
The young boy looked at her with wide eyes and said,
"Don't you remember me?"
Jade looked at him thinking hard but she figured it out once the boy pointed to a blue Blade Liger parked not far away.
"Van, Fiona, Moonbay, Irvine, Dr. D!" Jade exclaimed as she saw the other Zoid Pilots and the old man with long white hair.
"Where have you been?" Irvine asked.
"Out traveling and making new friends." Jade said turning around and pointing to Kawaii.
A woman with dark skin and dark brown hair walked up to Kawaii, held up a hand and said,
"Hello my name is Moonbay. I am very pleased to meet you. What is your name?"
"My name is Kawaii." Kawaii said shaking hands with Moonbay.
"Hi, my name is Irvine." Said a man with brown hair and wearing an eye patch over his left eye. The eye patch was only however used like a binocular so he could see things far away.
"My name is Van." Said the young man that Jade had spoken to.
"My name is Fiona." Said a young woman with long blonde hair and red eyes.
"I am very pleased to meet you Kawaii, my name is Dr. D." said the old man with long white hair.
"I am very pleased to meet all of you and it is very nice to meet some of Jade's friends." Kawaii said smiling happily.
Everyone went inside to catch up on old times and Kawaii explained about her Zoid and how she met Jade. Jade had also explained about the incident with the Death Sauer and how her Zoid evolved with the help of her Orginiod, Jenna.
Van had explained about him and everyone else becoming part of the Guardian Force and then he asked Jade and Kawaii if they wanted to join it. Jade and Kawaii were eager to help their friends and they both agreed to join the Guardian Force. Just then a young man with blonde hair walked in and said,
"Van its time to train. Who are the two young women?"
"Oh, this is Jade and Kawaii they are new members of the Guardian Force. Jade, Kawaii this is Thomas Shubaltz he is also part of the Guardian Force." Van said introducing them.
"If we have to train then we will not be able to do it until our Zoids are fixed." Kawaii said looking back at the repair shop.
"Depending on how bad they are damaged it should only take a few days to fix them." Said Irvine standing up and walking into the kitchen returning after a few minutes with a water bottle in his hand.
"Irvine where are your manners?" Moonbay snapped at Irvine.
"Oh I am sorry. Jade do you want anything to drink?" Irvine asked. Jade shook her head, Irvine turned to Kawaii, "What about you Kawaii? Do you want anything to drink?"
"Yes please. I would like some water." Kawaii said
Irvine turned back and walked back into the kitchen returning with another bottle of water, which he gave to Kawaii. Kawaii smiled at Irvine as she took the water bottle form his hand. Jade meanwhile stood up and looked out of the window towards the sky.
"Jade are you ok?" asked Fiona
"Yes I'm fine, but I sense that the weather is going to change into a huge thunderstorm tonight and the change will happen within the hour." Jade said.
"Well I better warn they boys. Irvine just followed them out to do some training as well, since the girls get a cabin to themselves and tomorrow we don't have to go to work tomorrow that means…" said Moonbay not finishing her sentence.
"Girls sleepover party tonight!" all the girls cried at the same time smiling happily.
Within the next hour a huge thunder storm came up just as Jade predicted, what she did not predict though was the power going out and the girls having to use candles in order to see. The girls were sitting in a circle talking by candlelight when all of a sudden the boy showed up to check on them. The girls found this slightly suspicious, but they did not want the boy to walk all the way back to their cabin in this storm so they let the boys stay with them for the night.
"This is just like old times. All we need now is a campfire and it will feel like we were traveling again." Van said.
"Well we don't have a campfire, but we do have a fireplace." Said Fiona lighting up the fireplace.
All of a sudden the room was filled with a light orange glow and a warm heat coming from the fire in the fireplace.
"I guess that will just have to do." Said Jade looking around at her friends.
Just then a blonde haired man with green eyes walked into the room sat next to Thomas and said,
"Hey little brother. Are you flirting with the new girls on the Guardian Force?"
"No, Karl! I told you my feelings are for Fiona only and nobody else!" Thomas cried hysterically.
"Relax, bro. I was just kidding. Your loss though they are both very pretty." Said Karl winking at Jade and Kawaii and making Kawaii blush deeply.
"Cornel Shubaltz cut that out we all know that you don't mean it." Said Moonbay rolling her eyes at Karl.
"This time I do mean it and I think the same way about every woman in this sleepover party." Said Karl smiling at everyone.
**************************************************************************************
Once inside of her and Kawaii's room Jade brought up the incident with Karl that had happened during part of the sleepover.
"I noticed that you couldn't take you eyes off of Karl at the party." Jade said slyly.
"What do you mean by that?" Kawaii asked shocked.
"I mean that I think you have the hots for Karl." Jade said grinning at her friend who blushed deeply.
"I do not!" Kawaii said blushing even deeper.
"Then why are you blushing so much?" Jade asked.
"All right, I think he is a little cute. Now drop the subject!" Kawaii said angrily.
"Ok, I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better, when I was eleven years old I used to like somebody too." Jade said sitting down on Kawaii's bed.
"What happened to him?" Kawaii asked.
"Well not long after we both went our separate ways and I have never seen him since." Jade said looking down at the ground.
"Oh well. Do you still love him?" Kawaii said.
"Well I suppose I do, but the problem is that I haven't seen him in so long and there is even a chance that he is dead from all of that destruction the Imperial Army had done before it joined with us." Jade said looking at Kawaii nicely.
Kawaii could tell that Jade did not want to speak about it anymore so she said,
"It's getting late maybe we should go to bed. I have got a feeling that we have a lot of work tomorrow."
Jade and Kawaii changed into their nightclothes, turned off the light and went to bed. Jade was glad that Kawaii had decided to go to sleep she did not like talking about the person that she was in love with, especially since she hadn't seen him in so long.
'Wherever you are, even if you are dead or alive I will always love you.' Jade thought as she looked at an old picture of her and a boy standing in front of a base, she put the picture under her pillow and then went to sleep.
