Chapter 7: The hook up, part III

"Hey Tatany, you awake?" Naomi asked as she slowly stepped into Tatany's room.

"Yes, What do you need?" Tatany had been in her room for two days now and still hadn't left, but she didn't mind.

"Doc says there is something you need to see. Meet him in the hanger immediately."

Tatany rolled over onto her stomach and pushed herself up slowly, she could here the slight cracking of her tired bones. She scowled but rose to her feet and went to the hanger. There she met up with Doc and the whole crew, including Brad, whom she was avoiding with all her might. "What is it Doc?"

"This." Doc replied as he pointed a finger towards the ligers Com. Link. "WE got a anonymous message that mentioned you frequently. Any ideas?"

"May I see the message?"

"Of course. Jaime?"

"Right." Jaime nodded as he put the message onto the main computer screen. A young mans face showed up on the screen. He had amazing dark blue eyes and long blonde hair, which was plainly pulled back, though his bangs fell in whichever direction they wanted. Behind him was an older looking man, His gray hair and saddened blue eyes showed wisdom and weak health. Tatany's face went white and her jaw fell open as she looked up at the two pilots.

The message

We are called the flying tigers. WE are desperately searching for a young girl who would be around the age of eighteen… Her name is Tatany Pearl and we are in desperate need of finding her, she is the last of the Pearl line. If you have information regarding this young girl, please contact us at these coordinates. The young man held up a photo of a young blonde girl and sent a link of the coordinates. Please, we are begging you to please find Tatany, she is our last hope!

Tatany studied the coordinates for a split second and made a dart for her zoid. The rest of the crew in tow. "Tatany! Where in the name of fucking Zi do you think you are going?" Bit screamed as he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. "What is the damned problem?"

"Let me go Bit! I know who those two pilots were! And I have to find them before the others do!" Tatany cried as she wriggled from his grasp and jumped into her helldiver. "I promise I'll be back." With that she fired up her boosters and left as fast as possible.

"She isn't going alone!" Brad screamed as he jumped into the command wolf and shot after her, Bit following close behind.

Tatany was having troubles controlling her zoid. Her right hand was broken so she couldn't grip the controls. She tried once more to grab hold of the controls but shrieked as a jolt of pain shot up her arm. "Damn you Brad!" She screamed as she threw on the autopilot and put the coordinates into the divers memory bank. Soon she made it to the coordinates and slowly searched the area. "This is where they said they would be, why aren't they not here?" She turned around to look behind and searched the mountain peaks in the back. 'Damn, I don't even know what I'm looking for.'

Right than a zoid came out of a nearby cave and stumbled closer to her and the diver. The zoid was an old hell cat, and it looked very beat up. Tatany started to move towards the zoid until a bright light shot out from there left and hit the hell cat full force, practically putting it out of commission. She turned around to face the shooter. She saw a black gun sniper sitting atop one of the cliffs, ready to fire… At her!

Tatany knew she had time to react and counter the opposing zoid, but her hand wouldn't allow it. She was piloting to sloppily to be able to move. Right than the gun sniper fired not one, but four blazing bullets in her direction. She tried desperately to get her shield up, but not succeeding, so she tried the next best thing. She pointed her double barrel rifle at the bullets, hoping she could shoot them before they shot her. She aimed carefully and hit the first two dead on. But wasn't fast enough to stop the other two.

Right when they were about to hit her they were swiftly knocked away by a swipe of a golden claw. She than heard Bit's voice scream "STRIKE LAZER CLAW!" AS the Liger Zero went straight for the opposing Gun sniper, totally ruining it. "Thank you Bit."

She said quietly as she gingerly rubbed her hand and opened her cockpit. She jumped down to the ground and walked over to the fallen hell cat.

"Tatany, what are you doing? And why did you come out here alone?" Brads voice screamed as she saw him jump out of the command wolf. "You could have been killed."

"It's better than having to deal with someone who hates your guts, now don't you think?" She said, venom and sarcasm dripping from her every word.

She finished her trek to the fallen zoid and opened the cockpit. She looked the first pilot over carefully. The young blonde. He was unconscious, but breathing. The older man wasn't so lucky. The bullet had pretty much blown out the whole side of the zoid, and flying pieces of metal had lodged themselves in the mans head, his head was oozing crimson blood. Her eyes stung with unshed tears as she stared at the older man, she wanted to cry but bit back her tears as she turned back to the younger man.

She kneeled down next to him and tried to wake him. After a few minutes his body stirred and his eyes opened slowly. Tatany was full of relief to see him awake, but he wasn't happy to see her. He started to fumble around in his jacket until he found something solid and metal, he hastily pulled it out and pointed at Tatany. The object was pistol, loaded and ready to blow anyone's head off. He was shaking so hard he couldn't aim properly, but fired anyway.

Bit and Brad turned when they heard the loud crack of a gun going off, and Tatany's body falling to the ground from the side of the cockpit. "Why Toby?" Was the last thing she said before she fell into a deep sleep.
