DISCLAIMER I do not own Zoids or Transformers
I'll probably get in trouble for that last chapter. My poor Girlfriend reduced to "why me". Yeah, I'll get in trouble for that...
On with my story.
Zeke and the girls left the hanger to find the base's control center. They found it quickly because, the base was still well lighted and there were you are here type maps at all the corners.
"Well we're here. Now, which one do we turn off??" asked Zeke.
Crystal was already working at one of the stations, "I, turn off this one; you two, don't touch anything!!" she said, a bit annoyed at something.
"What did I say??" Zeke asked, in a puzzled tone of voice.
"It's not anything you said, Zeke. It's all the internal security bots you set off," Tia answered.
Flashback
"Zeke don't touch that!!" Crystal screamed as Zeke put his hand on a control panel. Suddenly the wall beside him opened, letting out a swarm of small bots. "Run!!" Crystal shouted.
The three of them ran toward the control center of the base, but more and more security bots kept popping out of concealed doors in the walls. "It's this way," Crystal shouted, when she turned into a slightly larger passage. Security bots continued to pour from the walls, as the three of them stumbled into the command center and locked the door.
End flashback
Several moments later Crystal said, "There that should do it, I put all the Sleepers in recharge mode, and I disarmed the security system."
"Can you access the base's communication system to tell them how to get here, and of course, that we turned off the sleepers??" Tia asked politely.
"I should be able to," Crystal answered. After examining a console for several moments she touched several keys in rapid succession. This caused a light to start blinking on the panel. "I guess they've been calling us," Crystal said as she acknowledged the incoming call.
"Hey those Sleepers went back to sleep," a blonde pilot said.
"Hey, where are you guys at??" asked the black haired pilot.
"We're all in the control center," Tia said before any one else could answer.
"Okay, how do we get there??" asked the black haired pilot. Then she said, "I guess we haven't really had time to introduce ourselves, my name is Tasha. What are your names??"
"The idiot is Zeke. I'm Tia, and you all should thank Crystal; she turned off the Sleepers.
"Cool," said the blonde. "I'm Rusty, don't ask my real name's even less appropriate," said the blonde girl.
"You guys may as well come inside, I finished turning off the internal defenses," Crystal suggested, starting to slip back into her shy mode.
Yes!!! I finished introducing my characters to each other.
(A note from t-chan: betaing done. Now if he'd only get to work on our fantasy novel...)
