Recovery
Chapter 1: Lost
"I can't believe they're sending me all the way out here. There's never anything this far in the desert. Zeke, let's head back," the organoid followed his master's command and started to turn the Blade Liger around. "Wait a minute, Zeke. I thought I just saw a Guysack over there behind that sand dune. Let's check it out." Once again Zeke did what he was told.
Once they got near the dune, he saw the Guysack. He also saw a small tent set up near it. "They must be bandits. Let's get 'em! Go!" With that the blades on the Liger were put into there Blade Attack position, and the Liger charged at the Guysack. Soon it was sliced in two. The bandit came out to see what the racket was, But before he could react he was on the ground with a knife to his throat. "You are under arrest," the Lieutenant informed him, as he put the knife away and pulled out his handcuffs. He snapped them around the bandit's wrists. Zeke was given the responsibility of keeping an eye on the bandit, while his master inspected the tent.
When he walked in, he was shocked at what he saw. There gagged and tied to a chair was a young girl. She had long blond hair and sunset red eyes. The Lieutenant took out his knife and cut the ropes. When her hands were free she took off the gag and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you," was the only thing she said before she turned and walked out of the tent, quickly followed by our young hero.
She helped prepare the blade Liger for the journey back to the base. The Lieutenant thought that this was as good a time as any to introduce himself. "I don't think I told you my name. It's Van. Van Flyheight. The small Zoid is Zeke, and this Zoid is the Blade Liger." He said, hoping for a response. "I'm Fiona Alisi Lynette," she said with a polite smile. "So…where do you to go? Back to your house?" Van wasn't sure where she lived but he'd gladly take her anywhere. "Actually, I don't have anywhere to go. My town was destroyed and I have been lost for days." Fiona said with a frown. Van felt that he had to take care of her. "I know! Why don't you come with me back to Dragonhead Base. It's not very far from here." Van was sure that she would be allowed in. "Really? You'd let me stay with you? That would be great!" Fiona was so happy, that she let out a small giggle.
Soon the Liger was loaded up, and they started for Dragonhead Base.
