Retribution
Disclaimer; I don't own zoids. why must I say this? If I owned zoids this would be on TV or at least a comic book.
Chapter one: what now?
Caitlin slowly opens her eyes and groans, "oww… since when did waking up hurt?" she sits up and looks around the cockpit of her command wolf and sees that all systems where dead she whispers "oh no." after popping opening the canopy and exiting the wolf she sees the full extent of the damage "Wolfy what have they done to you?" for the once red zoid was beginning to get the stony look that only dead zoids have. Caitlin wipes away the tears that were starting to fall "ok Cait you need to stop crying and think of what to do next" she starts scrounging around the cockpit, after pulling out her water backpack she finds the mail her dad gave her "lets see "zoid monthly magazine" and a letter with the republic seal?" she opens the letter and finds that it was a set of enrollment papers in the republic military academy "a lot of good these do me, I have no way to get there." She watches the sun set, "well at least the desert wont be to hot for awhile." She then reads the papers more closely, "Hmm… if I get to red river base they will arrange transportation to the academy, so I just need to get to the red river base." She looks at the wolf, "but how do I get there?" She closes her eyes and thinks, suddenly her eyes fly open "the Rev-raptor!" Cait smiles as she stuffs her mail into the small backpack. She then starts back to the small village humming. As Cait enters the border-town she stars crying after seeing the near total destruction she runs to her house. Relieved to see it still standing even though it looked burned around the edges. Caitlin carefully walks thru the kitchen and up to her room; she pulls out a fireproof box and opens it, relived to see her ID papers where ok. After adding her ID to the papers in her water backpack she once more heads to the community hanger. The main doors where open so she carefully walks into the hanger, instantly spotting the raptor, it was the only zoid left in the hanger "the others must have been destroyed in the attack." Reasoned Caitlin. She climbs up into the cockpit, and smiles as the zoid started up "Red River base here I come." Hour's later; Cait stops as her zoid crests a hill, "whoa that's big." She had just spotted dragon head base. "Wait a second that's the wrong one, that's the imperial base." She turns the raptors head and spots a smaller base. "There it is." Caitlin approaches the base at a light trot. As she nears the base some command wolves surround her. "Attention rev raptor pilot, identify yourself or come under fire as a threat." Comes a voice from one of the wolves. "Ummm.. Im Caitlin Amaroq. And I have this paper that says you guys can get me to the republican zoid pilot academy." A different voice now comes over the speakers "well Caitlin I thought your parents got you a red command wolf not a rev-raptor." Cait blinks. "Yes they did, but the wolf got totaled Col. Kruger." "I see." Responded Kruger. "Perhaps you should come inside and explain." Cait nods, the rev-raptor mimicking the gesture. "Yes Sir."
A/N
Yes I FINALY finished the chapter. I think all I need to explain this time is that Col. Kruger was friends with Caitlin's parents. You will get to find out what happened to Caitlin's town next chapter.
