Ah, so it begins. Sorry, couldn't help it. I saw Lord of the Rings and
I'm seeing it again in two weeks. Anyway, this is the PREQUEL of
PREMONITION. You may ask yourself why those are in capitals. It makes the
words stand out more and draws attention to my pointless author's notes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids, but I do own the characters in this fic.no, honestly, I do. See for yourself.
**************************************************************************** ********************
"Risai! Get up! We're gonna be late!" yelled a 20 year old boy. He stood in what looked like a living room of a small apartment. He was dressed in blue jeans and a white, loose shirt. A black jacket accompanied his attire. He had emerald eyes, the deepest green there was. His hair was spiked and it was a silvery blue color. He stared impatiently at the door to one of the bedrooms.
"Come on!" he yelled.
"Just 5 more minutes!" yelled Risai.
"If you have the energy to yell, then you can get up too!"
"Fine! I'm going!" In her room, the 15-year-old Risai climbed out of bed. Her long blue hair was a mess and there was still sleep in her eyes. She walked over to her small dresser and took a comb. She combed out her hair and then pulled it back into pigtails that were located more towards the back of her head and down more.
"Perfect," she said to the image in the mirror.
"Hurry up!"
"Gee Taban, don't rush me!" she yelled back. Taban was now pacing. The living room of the apartment was made of brown bricks and had one window. The floor was wooden. The couch was a cream color and there was also a desk with a computer on it. The kitchen was located next to the living room, but there was no door that connected them. The floors were different and that was what indicated it. Through the window was an overview of the street. There was a small, metal barred balcony with ladders that connected each one. It was the average, big city, small apartment. There was a ring from the doorbell. Taban sighed and walked over to open the door. He opened it and smiled.
"You two ready yet?" she asked.
"Not yet." He turned back to the room. "Risai!"
"I'm coming!" He turned back to the girl. She had shoulder length red hair and mahogany colored eyes. She wore a pair of tan jeans and a navy blue, long sleeved shirt. Her tennis shoes were white.
"Today's the big day," she said. "You excited?"
"Of course," said Taban with a smile. "What about you Miharu? You excited?"
"Am I excited? You bet! We're going to start a zoids team! Of course I'm excited!"
"That's great. Risai!"
"Enough, I'm here already," said Risai as she walked out her bedroom door. She was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a white shirt. A long blue overcoat hung to almost her knees, but was a little shorter. A blue baseball cap covered her head. All the blue on her made her cerulean eyes stand out even more. It was a rare type of blue coloring for eyes. She smiled as she walked over to them. "Well, I'm ready. Hi Miharu."
"Hey Risai. Well, let's get going." The three of them walked out of the apartment room and down the halls. After going down a few flights of stairs, they reached the entrance. They walked out and began to walk down the streets. The building they were heading for wasn't that far away.
"This'll be great! It'll be a new age of zoids," said Taban.
"I agree. Battling sounds like fun. I wonder why they didn't think of this sooner," said Miharu.
"What are they calling this group again? You know, the people who will run the battles?" asked Risai.
"The Zoid Battle Commission," answered Taban.
"So the ZBC will run the battles?"
"Yeah. There will be rules and everything. And we'll get paid."
"What a great life! Battling with zoids and getting paid for it! That's two great things in one!" exclaimed Risai.
"You sure are happy about this," said Miharu.
"Of course I am! I've dreamed about stuff like this." They all continued walking until they came to a huge building. They walked through the front doors and found themselves at the back of a line of people. The building was crammed full of people who wanted to sign up for a team.
"Look at all these people," said Miharu.
"I knew we should have gotten here early and we would have if someone hadn't take so long," said Taban. Risai gave him a sideward glare. She then turned her attention back to the long line of people.
"I have an idea," she said.
"And that would be?" asked Taban.
"How about you two stay in line and I go to the fair grounds."
"No way. If I have to stay, so do you."
"Then I'll just have to stand her and sing. 'I know a song that gets on everybody's..."
"Okay! You can go!"
"Cool! Bye!" Miharu laughed at the irritated look on Taban's face as Risai ran out of the building, leaving the two of them to stand in line.
******
Risai made it to the fair grounds and began to walk around. The sandy ground was fenced off with a wire fence. Food, game, and gift stands were everywhere. There weren't many rides, but everything was always fun there. She walked around for a little while and took note of all the people who were there. She was looking for people she knew, but they were mostly people from out of town. Most had come to sign up as zoid warriors.
"This place sure is crowded," said Risai to herself. She turned around and began to walk backwards. "I gotta find something to do." She wasn't watching where she was going and soon bumped into something, or someone. She heard an irritated growl come from what she had bumped into. She turned around and looked up to see a man with dark hair and eyes. He was dressed like a punk and was a good foot taller than she was. There were two other men with him, each similar. "Sorry," said Risai quietly and nervously. She turned again. "I'll be leaving now." She was about to walk away when the man grabbed the back of her shirt and held her still.
"Where do you think you're going, girl?" asked the man. "I think you owe me for bumping into me like that. Pay up." "Um...let me think about it." She pulled away and the man was left with only her over coat. "I think not." She began to run, but didn't get far. The men were faster than she was. She was punched from behind and she fell to the ground hard. The people around the area began to flee. They were afraid of getting involved. Others stayed to see what would happen.
"Now about that money," said the leader. Risai pushed herself up on her hands and knees.
"I don't have any money," she said.
"I think you're lying."
"It's the truth." The man kicked her and she fell on her back. She was breathing hard.
"Pay up or we'll have to hurt you."
"Hey ugly. Leave her alone."
The men looked to the side. A boy walked over to them. He seemed about 19 or so. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans, a blue shirt, and a black overcoat. His sapphire hair was partially spiked, mostly towards the front. The hair in the back hung down to his ears. His eyes were a navy blue color. He wore a very smug and confident look on his face as he approached the men. He stood with his hands in his pockets.
"You talking to us?" asked the leader. The man stopped.
"No, of course not. There are plenty of ugly guys around here who are picking on defenseless girls."
"Hey boss. He just called us ugly," said one of the men.
"Boy, you guys sure catch on quick."
"No one insults us and gets away with it. Let's get him!" The three men ran at him, but he simply moved out of the way and tripped one of them, his hands still in his pockets. The other two turned around and ran at him again. He stepped back and kicked one of them in the gut. He had a bored look on his face. He was making it look too easy. His hands were still in his pockets. The leader finally got a hold of him by grabbing the front of his shirt.
"You think you're so smart, don't ya?" asked the leader harshly.
"No, I don't think, I know." He kneed the guy in the chest and the leader released his shirt. He then fell to the ground. The guy just stared at them, sighed, and then walked over to Risai.
"Are you alright?" he asked
"I'm fine, I think."
"Need a hand?" He extended his hand to her. She accepted and he helped to pull her up to her feet.
"Thanks for helping me out back there. That was amazing."
"No biggie. By the way, the name's Rainer. And you are?"
"Risai."
"That's a pretty name, but not as pretty as you." Risai blushed slightly. Rainer just smiled. He then looked at his watch. "Oh geez, I'm gonna be late. Sorry, but I gotta get back to work. The boss hates it when I'm late."
"Okay."
"Bye Risai. Maybe I'll see ya around sometime!" he shouted as he ran off, away from the fair grounds.
"Maybe," said Risai, as she began to head back to the registration building.
