Author notes: Round one, get ready.
Goji coiled his legs then before he could spring a huge shock shook the floor and sent all three off balance. "Goji we are at the edge of Falcon territory I've ordered to disembark is everything alright?" Goji's eyes snapped open revealing his position face to face with his rival. "Oh just peachy." He muttered sarcastically. Jira smiled. "Oh what's this you going to give me kiss?" Goji frowned. "Yeah and here it is." His right elbow shot out but Jira was already gone. "Getting a little slow Ji." Goji growled. "Don't call me that." He got up his kicks and punches filled the air yet Jira dodged or batted them aside. "If you actually let go a bit you might do a little better." Jira easily dodged another sidekick.
"You mean like this!!" Isis unrolled herself from her ball like crouch claws out she swiped both. She connected one claw down Jira's left cheek. Jira leaped back eyes wide her hands grabbing her cheek. "My face ruined by you, a half breed..... Damn you!!" Jira launched forward arms blocking aside Isis's swipes her mouth opened fangs dripping and bit down on Isis's shoulder. "Isis!!" Goji screamed. Isis's pupils dilated and she collapsed. Goji charged punches going faster now one connected into Jira's stomach and she crumbled. Jira smiled. "It looks like you win Ji or have you at a price of your friend." Goji glanced at Isis she was still breathing but she was shaking. "Decisions Ji everyone makes them what's yours?" Goji growled inhumanly as Jira inched her way out of his room. He could end it now but Isis.... He made his decision he turned to Isis and picked her up already heading for his lab he already knew Jira was gone till the next time. His arm sweeping aside papers and a can of pencils he laid Isis on the table. He grabbed his belt and tightened it around Isis's arm. "Don't get the wrong idea." He muttered as he sucked at the bite wound then spat. He then moved quickly toward a locked safe and opened it he grabbed a syringe and stuck it into a bottle then making sure there were no air bubbles he stuck it into Isis's neck. "There unlike most snakes Jira's venom affects the mind the carotid should pump the anti venom quickly enough." He pulled up a chair leaning into the table as he watched Isis's rapid breathing. "God I'm sorry I dragged you into all this." His eyes closed slowly as he drifted into an uneasy sleep.
Hiami walked slowly toward Goji's room she saw an all to familiar figure come out. "Jira Jukai." She hissed. Jira stared hard at Hiami. "I'm not in the mood right now, get out of my way." Hiami smirked at the scratches on Jira's cheek. "Got some scars I see." Jira grinned. "And she's got a little present flowing through her veins." Hiami's eyes widened. "You bitch." Jira flicked her tongue out. "Say what you want your friend's dying." Hiami rushed past Jira to Goji's room. "Although it may be too late." Jira called back before laughing. Hiami rushed in scanning the room and seeing a room that wasn't there before. She walked in seeing Goji leaning on a table Isis lay down in front of him. "Oh god please no." Hiami approached her face already in a mask of horror.
Goji's head snapped when he sensed a change in room pressure. "Goji how is she?" Goji turned and sighed. "I don't know Hiami this is the first time I used the antidote on anyone." Hiami stared at Isis. "You know what happens when the venom takes her right?" Goji closed his eyes. "All to well once the venom affects her mind she'll fall under Jira's command, just like Jira's gang back then." Hiami shuddered. "I saw her back there before I came in." Goji frowned. "I know there'll be another time when we shall settle it once and for all." Hiami looked away. "I fear that day when you two settle the matter." Goji opened his eyes. "As do I."
Ryuichi grumbled as he struggled to get the blackened circular pieces that were once cookies off a cookie sheet. "What a waste of good cookies." He muttered. Celes smiled at him. "Don't worry I've got another batch going." Ryuichi grinned. "I can't wait." Celes giggled as she shook her head. "I fall in love with the cookie monster just great." Ryuichi shot a glare at Celes. "Who are you calling the cookie monster?" Celes continued to giggle as Ryuichi fumed.
Hillary sighed as she watched through the ferro glass as stars passed by as the dropship navigated through the black of space. "Quite a sight isn't it?" Hillary turned and smiled at Zack as he entered her quarters. "Yeah it's beautiful." Zack smiled. "Well aren't you going to sketch it?" Shaking her head Hillary turned back to the blackness of space. "No to much detail in this I don't think I can draw stars well." Zack chuckled. "Finally something you won't sketch." Hillary grinned. "I'm thinking of writing a poem." "......"
Goji stared at Isis's face she hadn't moved or twitched for ten minutes. Her pulse was faint and she was perspiring like crazy. "God no please tell me it worked not this." Goji enclosed his hand around hers. "Please stay with me it should work it has too." In back Hiami watched silently. 'Goji the emotions you rarely show always have an impact on me. I wish I could help but what could I a mere human do?' Goji laid his head down on the table again. Hiami sighed and turned around and went to sit on the bed. She would wait with him as she usually did.
Meanwhile Jira was in a very good mood. Such a good mood that Copper decided he was so sick of her talking about Goji now being hers so he decided to stow away into his zoid for a bit. "Idiot woman she does everything happy it's sickening." He watched Jira as she celebrated. "I could finish her now. Why not then I'll be free." He grabbed the controls. Jira looked behind and disappeared. "Where'd she go?" Copper looked around, suddenly his straps tightened the controls wouldn't respond and the cockpit began to heat up. "Well Copper I see you are getting quite impatient with me. That isn't a good thing trying to shoot someone in the back. I have given you so many chances. I should just kill you." The voice spoke through his intercom and echoed throughout the cockpit. "You couldn't have gotten to your zoid where are you?" Copper choked as the restraints tightened. "I'm your zoid stooge. You don't know what I'm capable of. You cannot stop me so I shall give you one final chance will you take it?" Copper growled then nodded. "Good boy now sit tight for a bit and cool down. Oopsie I forgot you can't." Jira's giggles wanted to make Copper scream. Isis was screaming she just saw her parents get killed and she was strapped to a table. "Now little girl just stay still and this won't hurt much." The man in a lab coat stuck a needle in her arm. "Go to hell you fucking bastards!!" Isis struggled to get loose. "Don't worry soon you'll be one of our soldiers then you and others shall destroy the Republic and the Imperials." Three other men joined the original and they each donned gloves and picked up scalpels and other objects that we don't want to see. "Just let me go!!" Isis tried to struggle as the anesthetic took effect. "It'll be over soon." They descended upon her with their tools."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Isis shot up swiping both hands claws fully extended. She felt someone grab her, she swiped at her captor's arms slicing through flesh then the person was holding her in an embrace. 'Trying to crush my ribs.' Isis thoughts set her into motion and she dug her claws in the persons back trying to make him let go. A familiar voice spoke. "Isis it's me Goji snap out of it. Its over no one is here to hurt you." Isis blinked several times to clear her tears. The crop of unruly black hair and green tanktop only one person she knew had that style. "Goji...." She hugged him crying and shuddering. All the while Goji just held her and ran a hand through her black hair. "I like your hug except its quite uncomfortable with your claws in me." Isis let go quickly she stared at the blood on her claws. Goji was a mess Isis had made him into a used scratching post. "Goji I'm so sorry I.... I was." Goji smirked. "Don't worry its nothing." His face grew serious again. "I told you not to attack why are you so stubborn?" Isis looked away. "I'm sorry I just hate her so much I....." Goji looked a bit puzzled then smirked again. "Territorial instinct of possession. She wants me and you are her rival a territorial dispute another animal instinct." Isis looked stunned. "You mean the anger and everything is because I want you to myself?" Goji shrugged. "I guess so." So if I was getting hit on by another guy you would..." Isis stared at Goji. "I'd probably beat the crap out of him." Goji stated in a matter of fact tone. "My aren't are lives complicated?" Isis said. Goji looked away. "Yes now excuse me I have to get some bandages and a new shirt." Goji then exited the room.
Hiami looked up suddenly when she heard footsteps. Goji walked past her a bloody mess. "What happened?" She immediately thought that as a dumb question to ask. Goji looked at her. "She woke up." He said then went out the door to the Med room the third time running. "Oh my." Hiami said turning back to the lab to see Isis walk out unsteady but she looked okay. "Feeling better Isis?" The cat girl looked at her team leader ears twitching and tail flicking side to side. "I feel like hell but if I was about to die then I'm okay." Hiami smiled. "He stayed with you the whole time." Isis looked at her feet. "I know." Hiami chuckled. "Come now lets get you cleaned up." Hiami led Isis to the bathroom to wash the blood and whatever mess off.
Goji was in the Med room dressing his wounds his tank top a bunch of shreds now. "Geez I hope I don't get cat scratch fever." Unfortunately he hit the button on his watch and now she looked herself over. "Oh just great." Hotan turned and did her best to fix the tanktop to cover her chest area then rotated a dial on the watch and pressed the button again nothing happened. "Great she hit the watch, she broke the three remaining containers now I'll have to go replace them go figure." Hotan turned and left in a hurry. Just as Twilight passed by the Med room Hotan came out and tripped over her. "Ouch!!! Oh hi Twilight sorry I'm in a hurry." Hotan got up and rushed to get back to his/her room. Twilight watched her son/daughter run off. 'My goodness she could have used some tape on that shirt she's flashing the whole world.' Unfortunately it was Ryuichi and Celes who saw Hotan run by. Ryuichi got a bloody nose and Celes was just plain shocked. 'Oh my.' Twilight thought.
Hotan returned to her/his room and quickly fixed the watch and turned back into a guy. "This is too much for a day, I should take a nice shower and take a nap. I wonder where Hiami and Isis went. He opened the door to his bathroom and received the plunger in his face. "Idiot!! Don't you even check if your bathroom's occupied?!" Goji stumbled back at the onslaught of bathroom articles. "Well it is my bathroom." He said. "Get out and wait you hentai!!" Isis threw the soap that flew right into Goji's mouth. Goji closed the door and spat out the soap. "I didn't even say anything bad and they try to wash my mouth out." Goji lay on the bed. "Girls can take hours I better take a nap." With that he dozed off.
Twilight slipped her head in. 'My son's asleep and the girl's probably cleaning up.' Twilight trotted over to the bathroom the door slid open and Twilight ducked the shampoo bottle thrown by Hiami. "Oh Twilight I'm so sorry I thought it was Goji." Hiami hurried to pick up the bottle while Twilight shifted. "No problems dear Isis it seems you've been through a bit." Isis looked away. "I got bitten by Jira. Goji saved me." Hotaru chuckled. "That's my son now you've got to have a better look then this hmmmmm. I know let's fix your hair a bit then make-up and a new attire." Isis blinked. "Whoa mom in law to be. Its not like I'm going to a banquet or something." Hotaru chuckled again. "Yes but your current attire is not bad shows quite a bit of skin actually. But Goji needs a good look at how you are at best and I know how to do that." Hiami smiled. "So do I." Isis gaped. "You're not serious, you two can't just dress me up I can do that." Hiami frowned and shook her head. "Isis I've been with you for about a year and you have no sense in fashion." Isis was about to protest when Hotaru grabbed her hair and began to lather it with shampoo. (Herbal Essence to be exact lavender scent ^_^) "Now don't move an inch we'll be done soon." 'Why me?' Isis thought as the girls set to work.
To be continued.
