Neko: HEY AGAIN, Man its been awhile since I've pasted up the last chapter

(Raven appears behind her mumbling something)

Neko: WHATS THAT RAVEN!! (Growl)

Raven:  What nothing, nothing.

(Neko pulls something behind her back and slams in on his forehead, it reads 'Fragile')

Raven: ^0__o^

Neko: Good cause I'm shipping you off to Fade cause she has done another great job at betaing (Thanks Fade)

(Packs Raven into a box with holes on the top.)

Neko: I also like to thank Matrix cause they review as well. Now usually stuff I don't own zoids or anything really. Happy Reading!!! Nya!!

"She what!"

Colonel Marcus flinched, not that Prozen's yelling, but at the iciness in his voice.

"I'm sorry sir, but she has escaped, when the Republic attacked there were also reports of the Liger Zero running with the retreating enemy."

Prozen stopped in front of Marcus and stared at him.

 "You'll be more then sorry, Marcus, if we don't get that girl back."

Marcus nodded, then saluted and made a quick escape through the door with his tail between his legs. Prozen closed his eyes and took a deep breath; footsteps were heard behind him.

"Don't worry Lord Prozen, we will capture the girl again."

Prozen turned around and looked at Hiltz and Ambient walking out of the shadows.

"She couldn't have escaped by herself… someone must have helped her, but who?"

Before Hiltz could provide an answer; a private appeared at the doorway.

"Lord Prozen."

"What is it?"

The private straightened up and spoke "Sir, it's Raven. He is missing and so is the black organoid and so is the new Genobreaker."

Hiltz waved the private to go and turned back to Prozen, who was on the verge of killing someone, someone named Raven. But he took a deep breath and smiled, a cold, cruel one.

"This is only a minor hiccup, we will recover the girl and the golden organoid, and then I'll crush the Republic and all that oppose me. Hiltz, I think we may need to step up to the next stage, get Reese to do Raven's job; she'll be a lot better. Hiltz, study more into this Trinity Prophecy and hurry and find the location of the Royal Zoid."

"I am trying to find the location Lord Prozen."

Prozen turned and faced him, his eyes narrowed "I suggest you quit trying and find it, your attitude to this project has changed to a bad tune, I hope you aren't going to change instruments."

Hiltz's eyes hardened but he didn't reply. He bowed and stood up and walked towards the door. Before he opened it Prozen spoke.

"Hiltz this is of great importance to me and if you fail…. I will see to it that you and your organoid see nothing but the fiery pits of Hell."

Hiltz growled to himself "Yes my Lord."

He opened the door and walked out silently.

Avalon jumped out of the cockpit of the Liger Zero and gazed around at her surroundings. After escaping and riding back with the Republic they had finally arrived at New Helic Base, which was rebuilt after it was destroyed when the Empire attacked. Lots of cheering and yelling was heard as the troops made their way back. Avalon smiled as she saw one of the soldiers picked up his daughter and hugged her. She looked around and realised she was by herself; she couldn't see Robert or Brian.

'Man trust them to run off.'

She began to walk towards the base when she heard crying, she looked around to see who it was and saw a family huddled together. An old man was patting a woman on the back and the woman was sobbing into his chest. A solider stood by looking sad and uncomfortable. Avalon closed her eyes but she couldn't block out the crying.

"There will be a lot of those." Came a voice from behind her.

Avalon spun around and was met by the sight of a man, with long, silver hair and stone, grey eyes.

"And many will come." He continued.

Avalon glanced back at the crying family "Then it must stop."

The man walked up next to her and also looked over at the crying family.

"Who will stop it?"

"I will."

"How will you do that?"

Avalon hesitated "I don't know."

The man turned and faced her "Then you're not very helpful are you?"

Avalon glared at the man "Ok who the hell are you?"

"My name is Brakanan."

"Ok Brak, my name is-"

Brakanan cut her off "I know your name is Avalon."

Avalon looked back over at him but he was gone; she glanced around her but he wasn't there.

She slapped herself in the forehead 'I must be going crazy.'

Without another glance at the family Avalon walked off towards the base.

"So what do you suppose we do? Go find this Royal Zoid, if there's any such thing, while Prozen attacks the rest of the countryside!"

"I thought you had already agreed with this, Colonel Herman!"

"Yes but now you tell me that Avalon might not be able to tell us where this Royal zoid is?"

Avalon stepped into the tension filled room and silently sat down at one of the chairs and glanced around the room. O'Connell was sitting down; his head had stitches and his arm was bandaged. He looked over at Avalon and rolled his eyes. The young Lieutenant, which Avalon recognised as L.T. Taydra, was leaning against the wall and Dr D was sitting on one of the chairs looking extremely exasperated. There was a lady leaning on the opposite wall of Taydra, with short, silver hair; she looked over at Avalon and for a brief moment their eyes locked. Soul-piercing ones locking with amber, Avalon felt something inside her stir. A brief image appeared inside her mind but the lady looked away and the image disappeared from Avalon's mind. Looking at the lady in confusion Avalon turned away and stared at the interesting event that was happening now. Robert was having a very, intense argument with a silver haired man.

'Wait a second, that's the guy that was talking to me'

Growing bored of the argument Avalon let her eyes wonder around the room some more, finally reaching a leather bound book on a table next to her. It was beautiful, made of rich, brown leather with magnificent golden pattens wrapped around it. A simple lock was placed on the cover and no title could be seen. But what drew her towards the book wasn't the attractive cover but something else. Something that she couldn't see but she felt it. Avalon reached over, oblivious to what was around her, and picked up the book. Strangely it felt warm in her hands; Avalon felt something inside of her open, wanting to be nearer to the power. She placed her hand on the lock and with a soft click it opened. She flipped through but there were only blank pages, except for the first two. She opened up to the first page and looked at the writing. It was nothing that she had seen before…  it was so elegant and neatly written but alienated. But strangely the words began to shift right in front of her eyes.

'Wait not the words but I can read them.'

'Naiethoar Ta'lian' 

'Trinity Prophecy'

"It's Ancient Zoidian." She whispered to herself, as she looked the page; a triangle (Think Zelda) appeared above the words 'Naiethoar Ta'lian'. Around the edges a picture of a Raven, Wolf, and a strange symbol flittered through.

An ancient darkness, has once awoken

Now it has been born again

Death it will bring to those who now live and who once lived

Only the light of the Trinity will destroy it.

Death of one, rebirth of another

The three must unite, for the Trinity to light.

One of Darkness

One of Pure

One of Light

The royal Zoid must awaken to harness its power

The Swords guide the way giving hope yet power has split them

Only the light of Pure can truly awaken them

As they await for the phoenix to arise

The Trinity awakens

If the darkness consumes them all will unite and turn to Ash

And the Phoenix will rise

Only the three can prevail

To change the Zero

As Avalon read images, memories, began to flash through her mind.

Zoids, Zoidians, screaming, power, light, crying, someone pulling, yelling, a zoid unlike no other running to a scarred land, a forest full of trees with a mountain in the background.

Avalon wanted to pull away from the book to wash away those memories but she kept reading. She got to a bit where the writing was different. She kept looking at it, not realising the memories were gone and she was just sitting there staring at the strange writing. This writing was glowing, it seemed to ink into her mind and words formed into her head, not in the pages, but in her head.

Royal Zoid listen well

Trust the messenger

Accept your past and embrace your future

For if you let your lover's pain blind you

You will fail

Hold the Tri and fight with the Phoenix

For this is all but destiny

Accept it and understand

For there is no return once you plunge

Into ever darkness

At this point Avalon stopped reading and closed her eyes; it was so overwhelming. The pictures, the words, but it was the feeling that she got from reading it that overwhelmed her. Sadness, fear, but also happiness filled her. With one last scan she closed the book and looked up at Robert and Brakanan still arguing, it was like time hadn't even passed but it felt like hours had. Avalon shook her head from the feeling and stood up.

"Brak."

The two men stopped arguing and looked over at Avalon.

"The Royal Zoid, will it destroy Prozen and the Deathsaurer?"

Brakanan hesitated "Well in a way yes but in another no, the Trinity must be united to beat Prozen and the darkness that has awakened."

"Naiethoar."

Brakanan nodded "Yes, Naiethoar."

Robert looked between Avalon and Brakanan and sighed, "Ok I give up, tell me what that means."

Brakanan faced Robert again "That means that Avalon is truly Zoidian, for the Prophecy is written in Ancient Zoidian Text. Naiethoar means Trinity."

It was then that Taydra spoke "So Avalon, do you know where the Royal Zoid is?"

Before Avalon could say anything a solider appeared at the door.

"Colonel Robert sir?"

"Yes."

"I think you may want to see this."

It stood 50 metres away but Robert could sense its power from where he stood. It looked like a Genosaurer except red and it had two powerful, pincer claws on its back.  The armour on it was stronger and any faults of the Genosaurer seem to be wiped out in this version.

"What the hell is that?"

At this Point Dr D stepped forward "I believe that is called a Genobreaker, the updated version of the Genosaurer. The Empire must have been developing it but the only way it could have evolved so quickly is if an Organoid helped it."

"An organoid." Muttered Robert.

"There is more, sir."

Robert turned to the solider addressing him "There is?"

"Yes sir, we found the pilot that was with it and an organoid was with him."

The solider stepped back to reveal a young man between him; he seemed to be injured.

"Raven." Whispered Avalon.

Another solider walked up; he seemed to be bandage and was holding a leash to something. Avalon looked behind him and saw Shadow struggling under a lot of chains. A blue, metallic object was locked in the front of the chains. Shadow pulled quickly and Avalon thought he would escape but the blue objects glittered and hundreds of volts of electricity zapped Shadow, which stopped him immediately.

"We found them near the base, the boy was passed out but this thing," the solider said, pointing to Shadow "It was going nuts. We had to chain it and then neutralise it."

Robert walked over to Raven and looked at him; he wanted to hit him then and there for killing Van. But Robert controlled himself and he looked over to Avalon, his fury masked.

"Avalon, I will leave it up to you to decide."

"Me? Why?"

"Because, you were there when he… when he killed Van," he growled "You were there till the end of Van's life, so you may decide the fate of his." He continued softly, pointing to Raven.

Avalon looked over to Raven and mixed feelings surged through her. First there was rage, she was outraged by the fact he could show up after what he did to Van, to the others, to her.  How he killed Van like he was a fly; she wanted to see him pay, pay for the life he took away; she wanted him to die. But another feeling deep down inside began to open up. The memory of Raven saving her and telling her to leave flashed into her mind.

'Why did he do that?'

But the memory of Van pushed that memory way, but not the feeling. Avalon closed her eyes and sorted through her shambled memories. Of Raven saving her and Van playing with her, strangely enough the decision of what to do with Raven was hard.

'I'm sorry.'

Avalon's eyes snapped opened and looked around but no one seemed to have talked to her. She glances over to Brakanan who was talking quietly with the women with short, silver hair, the one that introduced herself as R'sheli. An image flashed into her mind; it was the Raven that was on the Prophecy page. Avalon quickly turned around to Brakanan.

"Quick Brak, what is the Zoidian meaning of the word Raven?"

"Don't call me Brak, its Brakanan."

Avalon rolled her eyes "Look it doesn't matter what you call yourself, your name is too long to say quickly. Now tell me the god damm meaning."

Brakanan raised an eyebrow and mumbled something under his breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, nothing, the Zoidian meaning of raven is God's messenger or Messenger."

'Royal Zoid listen well, Trust the messenger.'

Avalon faced Robert and looked at him "We must keep Raven alive, we need him."

"What? Why? What about what he has done."

Avalon looked over at Brakanan and R'sheil "Because the Prophecy told me to trust him."

Brakanan's eyes widen along with R'sheil's.

  "Royal Zoid." They whispered.

Avalon looked away and stared at Raven. " We must take Raven, for without him we will not be able to fulfil the prophecy and we will plunge into darkness."

O'Connell looked at them and without a trace of humour spoke " Yeah, but does he have to be alive."

Robert stared out into the ever-glowing dawn as he stood at the base's gates. His mind wandered through the recent events.

"It's hard to understand, isn't it."

Robert didn't turn around he continued to stare out into the dawn "Yes it is."

Avalon walked up beside him and looked out into the dawn "I will be back."

"And if you aren't."

"Then you can have my lucky playing cards."

Robert laughed and turned and faced Avalon "You out of all of us has been hit the hardest, with Van's death and now finding out that you're the royal zoid, but you take it so calmly."

Avalon shook her head "Outside I'm calm but inside I am so nervous. What if I can't find the Tri or I can't harness the powers, what if…"

"Stop with the what if's, that my job."

Avalon laughed this time. "Yeah, but don't worry I know I'll be back. I ask you this one favour."

"What is it?"

Avalon looked at him seriously. "By the time I return be prepared to fight, be prepared to fight the battle of a lifetime. And you must rescue Moonbay and Irvine."

Robert nodded. "Yes, and when you return we'll be ready. We will have rescued Moonbay and Irvine by the time you come back"

Avalon grinned and hugged Robert. "Well I guess I better get going, before Brak has a heart attack."

"I heard that!" came a voice from behind and Robert and Avalon both saw Brakanan walking towards them.

"Stop calling me Brak, its Brakanan, Royal Zoid."

"Stop calling me Royal Zoid."

"Only if you stop calling me Brak."

"Only if you give me your word not to call me Royal Zoid."

"Ok but only if you give me your word not to call me Brak."

Avalon rolled her eyes "Ok, go on."

"I won't call you Royal Zoid from now on." Brakanan said.

"Ok and I won't call you Brakanan."

Brakanan smiled "Ok now that is—Hey!!"

But before he could say anything Avalon was already in her cockpit of the Liger Zero giving Brakanan the Victory sign.

R'Sheil came up at that moment "Brakanan, Raven has been tied up and the organoid is safely tied up as well."

"Is Raven still unconscious?"

"Yes."

Brakanan nodded to Robert. "I guess we better get going, good bye Colonel."

"How do you know where to go?"

"Avalon has had a memory flash of a forest with a mountain in the background, and the only zoidian place that vaguely fits it is the Lethior Forest. So that is where we start."

"Hurry up Brak!" Avalon yelled from the cockpit of the Liger.

Robert laughed.  "Good Luck, Brakanan."

Brakanan sighed.  "You too, Colonel."

Many miles away a lone Genosaurer stood waiting, a blue coloured Genosaurer. The pilot smiled, her eyes giving a cold shine. She spoke softly into the com-link.

"Yes Hiltz, I have Raven's tracking device on my screen and I am ready to mobilize."

"Good, see that you keep at a good pace, I will join you later."

"Very well."

With that the Genosaurer's eyes lit up.
