Thank you again ShadowRebirth37!

You're never alone

Raven sighed in the seat of the Genohydra, legs propped up against the computer. The team infront of him was decimated, as Death Gigas had steam bursting out in chunks.

"This isn't good Raven, Death Gigas is too strong for this type of simple, segment battles." Whined Dusk, hitting the keyboard a couple times on his screen. He shrugged.

"Get back to the Hover Cargo." Raven nudged her on, and she sighed, face disappearing. The Death Gigas began to run back to the Hover Cargo. Raven landed in soon after, walking up to the main room to see Dusk fighting with Obsidian over probably something trivial. She blinked at him, then smiled brightly. He rolled his eyes. Sitting next to her.

A screen flared with numbers and stuff. "Another battle?" asked Dusk with a raised brow.

Team: Range BD

CHALLENGE

Team: Ace.

Battlefield- 773.

"Hmmm…" Raven hummed quietly.

"Range BD? What's BD stand for?" asked Dusk, tilting her head curiously. Raven shrugged.

"Whatever. Just get to the Cargo area… We'll move out." Raven stated flatly. Dusk frowned at him.

"You've been moody lately. PMS-

"Get moving!"

"Alright Alright! God calm your hormones!" She grumbled, shoving her hands in her pocket. Raven suddenly got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. Shrugging it off, Shadow bounded over to his master.

"Obsidian. Get ready. Dusk will probably need you."

Why did he bother to tell Obsidian he didn't know.

---

"What is that?" Whispered Dusk to the weird bird Zoid.

Raven sneered. "launching Geno Hydra!"

Dusk hurried after, pressing the controls down. "Ready to go, Death Gigas!" Death Gigas launched out, only to smash right onto a hole.

"Stupid girl." Hissed Raven, launching next to the hole. He looked in and narrowed his eyes at the fact several Molga Zoids were down there, wrapping the Zoid in a net.

A beam of light burst out of the Zoid and landed next to Raven. Obsidian.

"Bd…Backdraft." Raven snarled and pressed his boosters down, hard. "Go Shadow!"

Shadow burst from the hover Cargo, smashing into the Geno Hydra.

"You're pretty sharp, Raven." A Liger Zero landed beside the bird Zoid. A Lightening Saix ran next to it, A Red Horn not far behind. The bird Zoid turned sharply, retreating to a very large Whale Zoid. Raven pulled a side lever back, a clicking noise responded.

The Liger Zero charged, slamming headfirst into Raven. Raven winced once, then grasped the side controls. Pressing them all the way forward, he clicked a small switch and the heads quickly rotated.

Liger Zero leapt away quickly as a huge saw tried to rake his Zoid in half. The heads quickly changed again and The Liger Zero shook as it was pelted by bullets. The heads switched back to normal and the main head chomped onto the Liger Zero's leg.

"Now!" Shouted Liger Zero's pilot. The Red horn smashed his horn right into the GenoHydra, as the Lightening saix charged a large green blast in its gun. It fired and The Geno Hydra was thrown forward.

Raven glanced through the shield and spotted Dusk running toward the Hover Cargo, then two Redlers not far behind.

"Dusk! MOVE!" Shouted Raven. Fear gripping his inside. He had never felt this scared in his life. And he didn't even feel it for himself.

"SYSTEM FREEZE" on his monitor.

"No Raven! I won't leave them to take you aside!!" A picture of Dusk appeared in his screen, she looked around the room. As soon as she spotted the tied down, Broken down Helcat, her eyes narrowed.

"Dusk! Don't you even think about it! Gain some intelligence and run! I can handle this!"

She smiled at him. "No you can't. You aren't alone anymore." A flash of light blinded him, electricity burst from the screen around Dusk and he lost connection. His gaze found that of the Liger Zero and its two companions, A Lightening Saix and a red Horn. Death Gigas being trapped on the Gustav beside them.

"Give up!" Snarled the pilot of the Liger Zero. "Strike…."

---

Dusk stared quietly at the controls in front of her, grasping them once…twice. "Thank you…so much for this Obsidian." A tear slid down her cheek as it landed on the computer. A quiet roar responded. As she heard the pilot of the Liger Zero shout. "Strike…Laser-

"Launching, Zero Rebirth!"

The pad stuck out, and it shot out the pitch black Liger Zero, Claws flaring brightly.

"Claw Attack!" They both shout.

And they both smashed right into each other. Shadow took Raven out of the Genohydra, Gazing coldly at the broken down Zoid hidden in a crate.

"Shadow."

Shadow leapt inside, a cone of light surrounded it.

"Preparing the Berserk Fury."

---

Zero Rebirth snarled, claws stomping down as Liger Zero charged again. Zero Rebirth with its superior speed leapt into the air, slamming down on the Liger Zero and leaping off. The cannons on its belly shot off, shooting Liger Zero. The Red Horn charged, horn down.

Dusk looked around the inside. "This Zoid is so odd!" She glanced at the buttons on the side. Shrugging, Dusk pressed the panels. "Let's go Obsidian!"

Zero Rebirth roared, charging at Liger Zero.

"Strike…"

"Laser claw attack Obsidian!" Finished Dusk, Pressing the boosters all the way out.

Again, Liger Zero smashed headfirst into Rebirth, Claws clicking against each other.

"Kel! We've got a problem there-ssss" Static interrupted him.

"What?! What's going on?!" Kel, the pilot of the Liger Zero moved back. Dusk turned around sharply, and a Berserk Fury stomped toward them. "No! That Zoid is detroy-

"Do you really think, you can defeat me?!"

The Berserk Fury's foot claws stomped down, Claws stretching forward. "Move Dusk. Now."

"Moving!" Dusk ran behind the Berserk fury, not at all surprised the two claws twisted and moved.

"Retreat!" Shouted Kel.

"Oh no you don't!"

Raven turned sharply, shooting down the Redlers, Red horn and Lightening Saix. "Get him Dusk. Now!"

"You aren't going to escape with my Death Gigas!" She blinked as the inside of the Liger Rebirth began to change. Screens went down as some new ones came up. The chair slid back as the belts tightened. "What's going on Obsidian?"

The Liger Zero shifted to the blue self, Jager.

"oh…Good Job Obsidian! Rebirth Jager! Mobilize!"

"You're extremely immature, you know that?" Raven snorted to her.

"Shut up. Let me ha- Fu~ Gahhhh!! This thing is too fast!"

The black and dark blue Rebirth Jager rumbled a snarl and launched forward, for every one paw stomp it moved several meters, easily catching up to the enemy jager.

"What?! No! You're stupid Organoid-

"Increases the speed of any Zoid its in! Obsidian!"

Rebirth slammed a paw on the Jager's booster, knocking it over. Rebirth slid to a stop, then the boosters slid to the side and burst open.

"Let's go!"

Raven slid deep into his chair, watching Rebirth Jager's claws glow brightly. The Berserk Fury rumbled and shifted. "What are you doing Shadow?"

He didn't get a response.

"Shadow?" asked Raven slowly, confused.

No response. The Berserk Fury's eyes flared, and he flung his claws out. "Shadow what are you doing?!" Raven shouted. He noticed that Rebirth Jager shook, Body glowing again.

"What's going on Raven?!" shouted Dusk.

Raven ignored her, looking through the controls.

"Well Well. Apparently you didn't know. This Zoid will either absorb your Organoid, or your Organoid will go insane inside it!"

"You're wrong!" Rebirth Jager snarled, turning sharply to the Zero Jager. "Schneider form Obsidian!" Rebirth Jager shifted mid charge, Body shifting to the heavier Schneider. Blades a deep blood red. Liger Zero changed to Schneider as well, and when the blades collided, Rebirth's broke off. "What-

"You're Zoid is weaker then mine in strength. I win this match!"

Raven felt Berserk Fury roar. He grasped the controls as it launched itself forward, claws smashing down on the Schneider.

He heard the familiar roar of Shadow, then smirked smugly.

"You forgot this; Kel. My Organoid is the strongest!"

Shadow roared proudly and hurled the now returned to Liger Zero away, its Orange armor seemed to just fall off its body even though it usually just shifted. Rebirth Schneider changed back, no armor falling off at all.

"He isn't worth our time. Come on Raven." Dusk's voice came through the com. Raven snorted, turning sharply. Dusk walked to the Death Gigas. "Obsidian, you control the Zero Rebirth, I'll get Gigas."

---

Raven reclined against the couch, Dusk sleeping at some awkward angle next to him. He blinked at her, then rolled his eyes. Shadow and Obsidian were sleeping in the corner, like twins. Raven got up to go cook the usual food he'd eaten his life, Beans.

"As much as I've had it, I'm getting sick of it." He thought negatively, setting a pot on the stove to heat its watery contents. Then he got out his knife, sliding out and setting it on the can in his hand. A tired hand grasped his, Dusk using the other to rub her eye.

"I'll cook. Beans are bad for you anyway."

"They ar-

"Just please?" she asked, Puppy dog…sleepy eye'dly. Raven shrugged, tossing the can back and expertly putting the knife into his pocket.

"Do what you want." Dusk waved and yawned, proceeding to take out pans and such. Good thing they had bought food earlier before.

As Raven heard calamity in the kitchen, he flicked on the T.V.

"In the meantime, The Blitz team has been rising in rank! As Steve Toros, Oscar Hemeros and Laon-

Raven again, shut off the T.V when he heard a near explosion from the kitchen. Walking in, setting a hand on the side of the wall, he prompted himself up in a very lazy manner.

"Are you trying to kill me?" He grumbled to her back, raising a brow. Dusk then turned, smiling at him. Some odd, yellow…soup? Was in a pot, boiling.

"No No, I'm cooking Chicken Soup."

"…Right…Taste it first, I'd prefer not to die by your incompetent hands."

A spatula was sent his way, which he caught. He glared at her. Opening his mouth to speak, she interrupted him. "Uh –no. I'm cooking for you, Accept it. Now go sit on the kitchen table. or I'll take your knife away."

He growled. Why is she treating me like a child?!

"Go. Shoo. Don't bother a women when she cooks!"

"I hate females." Raven mumbled, turning sharply.

"Then are you into Males?" asked Dusk with a raised brow, stirring the soup. Raven stopped.

"I'm not into anything. I don't need it."

Dusk laughed. "I'm sure you crave contact." Raven glowered sharply at her, turning back around only to be surprised as the girl was infront of him. "Haha!"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. His face screwed up, mouth open gaping like a fish.

For some weird reason, he realized several things he never really noticed. Firstly, she was really warm. Secondly, her skin was soft in her short sleeved shirt and vest. Thirdly, his face felt like it was burning.

And he had no clue why. His amethyst eyes shook as he focused on her form.

She looked up at him, Silver eyes glowing brightly. "See? Feel bette-…Raven?" She asked, tilting her head. Her cheek rubbed against his chest as she bent her head slightly to focus up at him completely. He continued to stare, and then lifted his scarred hand, resting it on her shoulder.

He let out a shaky breath. "Alright. Alright. Now let go." She grinned and let go.

His body shivered once, missing the warmth it just had. Swallowing a lump in his throat, he approached the beeping T.V as a bowl sat on the table in the living quarters, steaming hot with a spoon and fork in it. He rolled his eyes, sitting down to eat.

---

"Team GF-X. Is what we're up against." Mumbled Dusk, looking at the note card. Raven felt a lump in his throat again.

What was going on?! He shook his head furiously.

"You okay Raven? I think I can handle it."

"Shut up and get in your Zoid."

"Which one?" asked Dusk innocently. He blinked, remembering they had extras.

"Surprise me." He snorted, heading toward the Geno Hydra.

As he climbed into the spacious cockpit, he clicked a couple buttons as it started up. The Black Liger Zero stomped next to him. Zero Rebirth.

"Ready Raven?"

Her voice caused another stupid lump in his throat. Swallowing it and shaking his head, he managed a squeak?

"Going through puberty again?!" laughed Dusk in her com. He glowered.

"SHUT UP AND GO!"

"Alright Alright. God." She stepped onto the pad.

"Launching Zero Rebirth!"

As Rebirth smashed down, It looked up and roared. Dusk blinked at the Slash Liger and its companions, D-bison, and Lightening Saix.

"Oh? How peculiar." Grinned Dusk.

"I could've swore this was Raven and Dusk's team."

Dusk hit the intercom button. "Raven. It's Van and his buddy. Don't bring out the Geno Hydra. Scare him."

"Heh…Not a bad idea actually." Raven smirked on her screen, then it shut off.

The Berserk Fury smashed next to her.

"It's the Backdrafts Zoids! Let's go Zeke!"

The blur of light smashed into Slash Liger.

"Obsidian!" The flare of light from the Hover Cargo was followed by Shadow, who smashed into the Berserk Fury.

"let's go Obsidian!"

Rebirth snarled.

"Let's show Van who is the true fighter, Shadow."

Berserk Fury's claws shot forward and it snarled.
