Hey everyone! The name's Element Guardian, or E.G. for short. This is the
second chapter to my first story ever. Sorry I didn't introduce myself or
add a disclaimer the last chapter. I forgot to add one on before I posted
my story. If you read my next story, "The Wolf," and then it's sequel,
"The Element Battles," you'll understand my name a little more. I'll try
to get those posted as soon as possible. They'll have nothing to do with
"The Night Warriors."
This story will be different from those you've read on fan fiction before. You'll get to choose what happens to Rachel, Ashley, Herman and the rest of the gang later on. If you want a say in what happens, you have to review. (It's my way of making sure you review) I won't ask for what should happen until the fourth chapter, then I'll give you previews on the two different ways the story can go, then the one with the most votes is the next chapter published.
Disclaimer: I don't own zoids, but Rachel and Ashley are my characters, and Travil is my idea as well.
The Night Warriors
A New Mission
Rachel could see the familiar base growing beyond the horizon. It was good to be coming back to the base and soldiers stationed there. The feeling that came every time Rachel returned to this particular base started to flutter in the bottom of her stomach. White Spirit Base to be exact.
White Spirit Base got its name from the ghost that supposedly haunted it. No one had seen the ghost, but things thought to be lost would turn up somewhere, and there was always a mysterious helper on the battlefield when the battle was nearby base. This had been going on since a few years after the base was built, and the base was well over a hundred years old. Like everyone else, Rachel had no idea who the friendly spirit was, but on clear nights, when everything seemed perfect, Rachel could hear the faint laughter of a young woman.
As the two friends ran into the hanger they noticed some extra zoids that weren't there when they left. An Iron Cong, a DiBisaon, a Blade Liger, a Lightning Siax, a Gustave, and a fleet of Command Wolves stood proudly off to the side. Rachel knew the Iron Cong belonged to Karl and the DiBiason to Thomas, she wasn't sure to whom the other zoids belonged, but the Command Wolves meant that.
"Republicans are in this base. Why here?" Ashley was flustered and she did nothing to hide it in her voice. Rachel just rolled her eyes and went to repairing some leg damage that the Hel Cat acquired from the long distance run she had to put it through.
"Captain Schubaltz? Captain Borwick?" Rachel turned around to see a soldier she didn't recognize.
He was very muscular and looked like a skilled planner. He was a Republican by the look of his uniform, which made him look very handsome. The only thing that kept her from saying he was the best looking man Rachel had ever seen was the fact that his gray eyes gave off a cold feeling that made Rachel shiver.
"Yes," Rachel said in a serious tone, "I'm Caption Schubaltz. And you would be?"
"Major Herman."
"Forgive us Major, but we didn't know who you were," Ashley said as she saluted. Rachel saluted as well, but she was trying to hold back a laugh.
The major snorted. "Follow me."
The two Captains followed the Major to a discussion room. Rachel recognized Karl, Thomas, Colonel Freedmen, and several officers from the base. There were also several Republican officers that Rachel did not know. Colonel Freedmen was currently in charge of the White Spirit Base and the main reason Rachel and Ashley hadn't killed any of the men stationed at the base. The look on his face, and Thomas's as well, said Rachel and Ashley would not like what they were going to be told. Karl's face was emotionless; the less time Rachel spent with her brother, the less she felt like she truly knew her twin inside and out. The officers' expressions were what Rachel didn't like the most, for all of them wore smirks.
The Republican officers had this happy, almost proud look on their faces. "What's the report Ladies?" Rachel looked to see a very old looking Republican Colonel. Both young women saluted.
Rachel cleared her throat. "As you might have been informed, we were sent to what was thought to be a Travil Base to see if we could get any kind of information."
"The new enemy country you're all worried about," Ashley added. Rachel nudged her and gave a look as if to say not to push it.
"When we got there, the base had been evacuated," Rachel continued. "They also erased any files and then blew up their own base, trying to take us with it."
"Do you believe we should be worried about them, or is it an empty threat, Captain?" The Colonel was wearing a smile like he could see right through the two Captains' souls.
Rachel cleared her throat again. "No one covers their tracks as well as they did unless they don't want to have something or someone found."
The old Colonel nodded to the two spies to let them know he was listening. "I'm Colonel Kruger, and you'd be?"
"Captain Schubaltz and this is my partner Captain Borwack."
Colonel Kruger smiled. "I see you've met Major Herman, and this is Captain O'Connell," he said while pointing to a teal haired man.
"You are not just introducing us for the fun of it," Ashley said angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest. Her eyes had become two daggers and Rachel was surprised that no had died from them yet. That's when it hit her -- why Colonel Freedmen and Thomas had worried looks on their faces; why Karl seemed emotionless; why the rest of the Imperial officers were trying hard not to laugh out loud. Most importantly, why the Republicans looked proud.
Colonel Kruger looked straight into Ashley's dagger eyes. "The four of you will be working together on a spy mission to find out if we are in for another war or we just have an empty threat." A look of surprise came across Rachel's face while the anger in Ashley's eyes became even greater.
Next Time: Changes
What do you think? Does it deserve the Pulitzer Prize? Probably not, but was it still good? Did I leave any important information out that you think should be included?
