Author notes: chapter 3 Mental Conflicts in the New World and I do mean
mental conflicts on a certain hero.
Goji went into his zoid and pulled out the Emergency Survival Kit. Then after gathering a good amount of wood he started a fire. Taking a packet of rations he began to cook it over the fire in an aluminum pot. He glanced at Isis still unconscious. "Stubborn girl she should have listened." He muttered. A moan was heard and Isis shifted a bit. Frowning at the girl Goji got up went to the nearby stream and cupped some water into his hands then he threw it on Isis. "MEEEEYYAAAAAAGH!!! COLD!!" Isis yelled out leaping up. "Glad your awake... Are those things real?" Goji pointed at Isis's ears and tail. "What do you think buster!!" Isis snapped her eyes narrowed behind her shades. "I guess they are." Goji said and turned away. "You got some nerve to pour water on me." Isis said. "Well you probably would've slept on so I woke you." Goji began stirring the contents in the pot. "You also slapped me you jerk get up come on." Isis raised her hands and extended her claws. "I think you should be more concerned with your organoid left joint got strained I did my best to fix it." Goji pointed at the black wolf organoid who lifted her head and her tail began to wag as she spotted Isis. "Twilight!!" Isis rushed to her organoid and knelt checking the repairs that Goji made. "You patched it up real well." Isis said. "I know." Goji replied blankly.
Hiami sighed deeply as the Hover Cargo stopped to pick up Celes and her Storm Sworder. "My zoid's a wreck!!" Celes cried out over her radio. "She ain't the only one." Ryuichi said he looked at his Lightning Saix two of its legs had been blown off during the explosion. The repair machines that Goji had constructed awhile back were already working to repair the badly damaged zoid. The Bahamut Zero had amazingly survived with little damage. Hillary's Gunsniper left knee joint got fried and half the armor was muck. Hiami's Konig Kong only suffered the lost fist from the battle against the GunGyarados. "Where do you think Goji and Isis are at?" Hillary looked up toward Hiami who was sitting on the command chair. "I have no idea Hillary. But Goji knows how to take care of himself and he will probably help Isis as well." "Isis is with the leader of G-Force? Oh I wish I was there right now I want to see how long before Isis claws this guy." Celes entered the command center smiling. "I wouldn't count on that Celes." Hiami smiled she knew things about Goji and one thing was how he fought. "Your kidding me right? Isis will claw the guy to bits." Celes said.
"You girls are talking like this friend of yours isn't even human." Ryuichi entered looking puzzled. Hiami sighed she isn't awhile back Isis was part of an experiment trying to cross human with tiger. The result was how she is now she has a lot on her mind and a temper not to be trifled with." "But you said that Goji couldn't lose to Isis." Celes said. "Goji was trained to be a perfect soldier, a perfect technician and a perfect scientist." Hiami said. "Scientist you mean that he can do weird things to animals and such eeeewwww." Celes said. "Don't get me wrong Goji only uses science as a last resort in fact I remember him saying awhile back that he was working on a new infiltration potion." "Infiltration why would he need that for?" Ryuichi said. "Goji is still a soldier at heart the potion was part of a plan years ago he's just finishing it." "What is the potion supposed to do?" Hillary asked. "I'm not certain maybe make him invisible." Hiami chuckled. "Hiami from the way I think you actually like Goji." Celes said. Hiami flinched but managed to stay calm. "Well maybe awhile back I did but I guess I lost interest." Hiami turned away trying to hide a blush. "You do like him how long have you two been going out?" Celes moved in a big grin on her face. Hiami was fighting not to blush. "Oh go check up on your zoid." Celes walked away giggling.
In the sick bay Zack Zero Cooper was lying on a bed two of left ribs was broken when he fell and he needed time to heal. Kaos lay on the ground next to the bed. A transmission went on and Hiami's calm voice began to speak. "How are you doing Zack?" "I've had worse." Zack replied. "Get plenty of rest we will continue searching for Goji and Isis." Hiami said. "What about the other two Copper and Jira?" Zack asked. "Lets not worry about them." Hiami said. "Roger." Zack cut the transmission and lay back on the bed again.
Copper kicked at a pile of rocks cursing repeatedly his zoid was ready but Jira's zoid had taken damage and she was currently doing repairs. "Hurry up Jira I want to get back at those fools." Copper kicks another rock pile before Jira replied. "Be patient Copper I just need ten more minutes." "Copper cursed again. "Why can't I go and get them myself?" "Because you will basically kill everyone regardless of what I tell you." Jira said. "Your still obsessed with Goji? I can't believe I'm following orders from a love-sick girl." Before Copper could say another word Jira leaped ever so graceful and silent and took him down. Copper stared into the eyes of Jura Jukai the eyes that hypnotize like a snake. "Don't you ever criticize me Copper. Never criticize how I feel for someone, it'll be your last." Copper's eyes widened when he saw a forked tongue slip out and brush his left cheek. "Remember that Copper." Jira got off and went back to her zoid. Copper sat up and stared at the figure walking away. 'What the heck is she?' He shivered for the first time Copper was scared.
Goji took a metal bowl and spoon and put some of the ration food in it and handed it to Isis before getting a bowl for himself. Isis didn't even look at what she was eating till she had put a spoonful in her mouth and promptly spitted it out. "What the hell is this junk?!?" Isis cried out. "Its gruel it has a good shelf life makes a perfect ration." Goji replied blankly. "This crap I never had this stuff since the last time I had a flu which was like three years ago I am not eating it ever again." Isis tossed the bowl away. "If you aren't going to eat don't waste what I have. But you do need your strength though." Goji ate another spoonful. "You do need your strength though, HA!! Keep that crap for yourself." Isis turned away. Goji frowned he was actually getting annoyed with the Cat-girl's attitude. 'Fine she wants some real food I'll get it for her.' He looked at the stream and one hand sliced into the water. "Hey Isis!!" Goji called out and cranked his arm back. "What is it!? Ack!" Just as Isis turned Goji threw the fish in her face. She grabbed it off and glared at Goji. "I should kill you for that." She hissed. "I'd love to see you try, but right now better eat while its fresh." Goji turned back to his gruel. Isis looked at the wiggling fish in her hands then bit into its back.
(Wolf Clan Dropship: Black Wolf) "Star Colonel we had a high-energy signal just a moment ago and faded the location was traced here to this area we don't know what it was but should we land and investigate?" A clan tech looked at the Star Colonel. "Aff Richard send Tanya and Philip for reconnaissance." Star Colonel Tira Kolun said. The tech left immediately. "I wonder if this is a new Inner Sphere weapon." Tira said to herself.
"Uh guys we have something on radar and its big." Hillary said. "Can you identify what it is?" Hiami asked "No it doesn't match with anything." Hillary said. "Should we check it out?" Celes asked. "Whose zoids are combat ready?" Hiami asked. "Zack, yours, Hillary's, and Ryuichi's." Celes replied. "Zack is still in the Medical center, my zoid is to slow. I suggest we send Ryuichi his zoid should be able to get in and out fast." "I'll get him." Celes said and left for Ryuichi's quarters.
As Celes reached Ryuichi's quarters Ryuichi was listening to some corny music. "Do the halabaloo yeah that's how Arashi now the twist. Good now lets try the funky chicken." The door slid open and Celes got to see a boy and his organoid flapping their arms like a bird. "Oh I just wish I had a camera right now." She said. "Hey haven't you heard of knocking?!?" Ryuichi said quickly stopping what he was doing. "Heh heh tell that to Hillary but that isn't important Hiami's sending you for recon just a quick look and run don't engage." Celes said. "Right right I'll do it." Ryuichi said. "Oh and Ryuichi next time I come do the Macarena." Celes left laughing as Ryuichi stared blushing.
Isis woke up and stretched cracking her neck and looked around Twilight was still sleeping but Goji wasn't there. She sniffed and caught his scent and headed in his direction. She pushed some low bushes aside and spotted Goji going through some martial arts He wore no shirt but kept his pants on each move was calculated and coordinated. Isis stared as Goji finished his practice and spotted her. "Well I didn't know I had an audience." Goji said. Isis quickly recovered wiping the drool that was coming down the corner of her mouth. "Audience? Me? Ha those moves are nothing compared to me." Isis said. "Wish to prove it?" Goji asked. Isis smiled finally some payback. "Why not but your going to regret it." She dropped into a position almost resembling a cat crouching. Goji dropped into a fighting stance. Isis pounced with lightning speed. Goji easily ducked the pounce and turned to face her again. Isis crouched again and lunged slashing with claws that probably would've shred a tree up. But Goji easily weaved past her slashes he caught one hand and put her into a painful lock. Isis turned her head to glare at her opponent only to find his face mere inches away from hers. She froze when his glare caught her. "Looks like I win." Goji released Isis and stepped back. She fell to her knees and looked at her arm that felt like it was going to break a minute ago. "I was defeated again I'm no warrior at all." Isis got up and ran off. Goji grabbed his shirt and jacket and rushed after her just to make sure she wouldn't do anything drastic.
Star Colonel we have sent a star of Elementals to scout the western regions 4 kilometers out do you want them to continue or should I call them back?" A Star Captain looked on as Tira Kolun the Star Colonel watched the trees sway and admire the scenery and fresh air. "Neg Harry although you should have told me first I'll let this mistake slide by for now." "You think it's a new stravog weapon?" Harry asked. "Aff or a new battlemech with power that might rival our clan mechs." "Impossible even after the wars the Inner Sphere stravogs were still behind us in mech and weapons." "We must assume anything Star Captain keep status at yellow alert I'll be in my quarters." With that Star Colonel Tira left.
Isis ran tears stinging her eyes twice she's been defeated. 'I'm no warrior I'm just a weakling.' She kept that thought repeating in her head, till finally she tripped and fell. Goji stood over her and sighed. "Get a hold of yourself you need to keep it together till we find the others." Isis looked up. "How would you like being treated as a freak? Look at me I'm a freak!! I have a tail, claws and I enjoy eating fish live and other stuff." Goji knelt down and looked at her as if trying to penetrate her shades with his gaze. "That does not change who you are or what humanity you have left. You are not a freak remember that."
Isis tried to look fierce but dropped it. "How can I not be a freak? I was an experiment a long while back trying to cross a human with tiger but they regretted it after I was done with them Twilight too she was also part of an experiment she's a wolf now not a dragon and the pain of the tests that awful pain." Isis punched a fist into the ground. "My parents were killed fighting the Deathsaurer... I was raised to be a perfect soldier in the Republic I've had many things injected into me to make me what I am now. I cannot say I feel your pain. I can never say my pain was bad as yours." He reached out and gently placed a hand on Isis's shoulder. "But I can try to help you in whatever way I can." Isis looked at Goji was this truly the guy she insulted back at the zoid battle? She reached up and slowly took off her shades revealing her yellow feline eyes. "You have nice eyes." Goji said. Isis was taken aback. "Uhh thank you." She turned her head away. Goji suddenly pulled out a gun. Isis whipped out her knife upon seeing the gleaming black gun. "Something's coming. Five of them I think big." Goji said. Isis twitched her ears and sniffed. He was right around that number were heading toward them. Goji gripped Isis's right hand. "Come on we have to move out quietly." He lead Isis back no sound was heard as both walked through the brush.
Ryuichi ran the Lightning Saix bored with his little mission. "Recon duty that's something for soldiers." He muttered a growl from the zoid core told him someone else agreed. But when he was about to leap over a hill when he stopped and hunkered the zoid down. "What the hell is that?!" Ryuichi saw a gigantic ship and giant machines were walking out of it in fact two smaller machines were heading toward his direction fast. "I got to warn the others." He turned his zoid and ran it till it broke the sound barrier. One thing was for sure they were not on Zi.
Goji went into his zoid and pulled out the Emergency Survival Kit. Then after gathering a good amount of wood he started a fire. Taking a packet of rations he began to cook it over the fire in an aluminum pot. He glanced at Isis still unconscious. "Stubborn girl she should have listened." He muttered.
