Recap: Raven has fired his Charge Particle Beam, and Van has charged with his blade and an explosion occurs… who gets injured… or even worse… dies?
Chapter Two: The Chase Begins, and Ends.
-Moments before the Charge Particle Beam was fired
"Van, I'm going around to jump him.." cried Irvine, but he was answered, with nothing but static.
"Damn," thought Irvine as he moved the controls and began running the Saix around. However, he ran into a few blockages of stones, and metal beams that had fallen from the building, so he had to turn back.
"Activate boosters," he said, as he pressed a switch on the controls. The Saix instantly tripled in speed with Irvine pushed back into the seat in the cockpit.
"Almost there," he thought, but as he rounded the last corner of where his destination was, Raven was already there, but he wasn't facing towards Van… but him!
"Irvine… I knew you would try to go around, but this time, you won't live!" sneered Raven as he fired. Van, seeing his friend in danger immediately charged, but before he could make it the beam had already been fired. At this moment it was as if time had slowed, and the beam was still moving faster than before.
"Come on…. Move!" yelled Irvine as he punched the controls forward, but the beam had hit its target. The Charge Particle Beam had melted and vaporized the back legs of the Saix, but the Zoid core was undamaged.
"NO!" screamed Moonbay as she just arrived in her Gustav.
"Van, you must defeat Raven!" yelled Fiona from the Gustav as well.
"Oh, I will!" yelled Van, but Raven took the moment of opportunity and shot the Gustav with the AZ Shock Gun and the AZ Beam Gun.
(A/N: the four guns at the Geno Breaker's legs if you don't understand what I mean)
"Raven, your fight is with me, remember?" roared Van as he heard Fiona, and Moonbay screamed. The Gustav was dented in multiple spots, and had stopped moving.
"Uh….. Van?... the Gustave has a command system freeze, I can't move it," said Moonbay as she groggily sat up from where she was hunched.
"Van… Zeke… be careful," said Fiona as she lost conscious.
"Fiona….." thought Van but than he yelled "Raven, you won't get away with this!"
"I think I just have!" laughed Raven, as he fired the Beam gun, and Shock gun again, this time at the Blade Liger. With Van in slight shock, the Blade Liger was hit full force by the blast.
"Now, I shall take what I have come for," said Raven as he jetted the Geno Breaker away from the damage Blade Liger, the system frozen Gustav, and the remaining half of Irvine's Lightning Saix.
"Raven… you… won't…. get away… with this!"called out a persistantVan, before he slumped down inside the Blade Liger's cockpit.
"I think I just have," he said sarcastically as he fired a second charge particle blast into the wall of a nearby building.
"I will be there soon…" he thought.
-Inside the Room where Project A70A
"I hope Raven, doesn't get here soon, this worthless piece of metal won't move without this orb, so I'll have to remove the orb, and take it somewhere before Raven arrives," said Dr. D. eagerly as he wrenched the blue orb from the cockpit of the Storm Sworder. However, before Dr. D. could even throw the orb anywhere or get away, he saw the walls begin to melt. Seconds later, a shadow emerged from the hole, its eye's glowing an ominous red.
"Get away from there," said Raven as he opened the pincher claws of the Geno Breaker, and grabbed the Storm Sworder from it's landing area.
"Raven, you mustn't take that; it's highly experimental still!" said a worried, yet relieved that he had gotten the blue orb out Dr. D.
"Oh, I don't plan on using the whole thing I only need one thing… Shadow, take the controls and when I give the signal do as we planned," commanded Raven, as he opened the cockpit of his Zoid, and ran under the Storm Sworder. Shadow answered with his usual growls, but minutes later, Raven gave the signal. At the signal the Geno Breaker's pinchers began closing crushing the metal until something fell out… the black box!
"Raven… NO! Everything was based on that box you can't take it," cried Dr. D. as he ran up to Raven. However, the Geno Breaker had taken the Storm Sworder and released it from its vice-like grip, and Shadow had disengaged from the Zoid, and blocked Dr. D. from Raven.
"I don't think so, I just need to add this into my Zoid, and with Shadow's help, I can go back," sneered Raven, but looking into his eyes, Dr. D. saw not only sadness, and fear, but determination as well.
"I will warn you one last time, it is still highly experimental, and if you should fail to install it improperly, the box, and your Zoid, and Shadow will be destroyed Raven," sternly said Dr. D.
"I will not fail," said Raven as he opened up a panel at the Geno Breaker's left leg, and inserted the black box.
"Shadow… it's all up to you now!" commanded Raven, as Shadow flew up into the air into the Zoid itself to allow it to adapt to the new components just added into the system.
"Shadow is everything ready?" asked Raven as he pushed the controls forwards. Shadow merely answered with growls and grunts that would have sounded like that to a normal human, but to Raven it was pure English.
(A/N: Anything that an Organoid says will be italicized.)
"Everything is ready master," growled Shadow as he finalized all readings of the Geno Breaker's structure.
"Good," replied Raven coldly as he activated the booster on the Zoid to maximum power, "back to the village then, before Van, and his gang catch us!" However, before Raven could even leave the base a monstrous assault hit the Geno Breaker on its left side.
"You're not going anywhere Raven," called out Van, from his damaged Blade Liger.
"I don't think so Van, I've come to close to turn back and quit now!" shouted Raven, his voice full of anger, and malice.
"So be it than…let's nail him Zeke!" called out Van with confidence as the Blade Liger roared extending the blades at the side once more to do battle.
"Too bad, I was hoping to kill you when I got back," said Raven sadly as his Zoid's boosters activatedcausingthe Geno Breaker to hover in midair again. "Shadow! Charge Particle Cannon maximum power, we need to finish this as soon as possible!"
"We will," angrily roared Shadow, as he poured more of his energy into the Zoid. Finally, both attacks were ready.
"ZEKE!" yelled Van as his Zoid lurched forward gaining speed and closing the distance between the Geno Breaker, and itself.
"Let's get him!" cried Zeke inside the damaged Blade Liger, that was charging toward the Geno Breaker.
"SHADOW, FIRE THE CHARGE PARTICLE BEAM NOW!" screamed Raven fearfully hoping that Van's attack would not neutralize the Charge Particles. The beam of violet, oceanic blue, and pure white headed straight towards the Liger. As it was engulfed, Van had put his shield on, but to no avail. The beam hit the left side of the Liger, but the Liger itself was not destroyed. The blade on the left side had broken from the assault and was sent spinning into the air. It landed right into the left leg of the Geno Breaker. As white light engulfed the entire base, and the sun rose from the darkness of night only two thing were missing, as the smoke cleared… the Geno Breaker, and the Blade Liger, along with the pilots Raven and Van, and their Organoids Zeke and Shadow!
Author's Note:
Sorry, I made it sound like someone died, but if you do want someone to die tell me you do, and I will try to put it in the next chapter. I know you read the first chapter before, and it sucked and all, but yes, I changed it, and if you don't like the story still please review, and don't' make it sound so sarcastic… the first one kind of hurt, but I just want some reviews that just tell me what it needs more. I know I had to post this chapter up too, but I only did it because the summary and title didn't change, so I thought what if I put up another chapter? Review please, because it's a great cause to improve my writing technique. Please don't be sarcastic in your review like Deadborder, because that was kind of mean, but it did get my gears going for a while.
