1Chapter: 4 Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Zey stands up straight with red aura surrounding him with red electricity pulsing from him and shouts, "Overdrive!!... Force Saber Rain!!"

The red aura and electricity fades away once he shouts that and he then starts to spin his two swords in his hand for a few seconds. He then stops spinning then in front of his face which he crossed over each other and created an X. Zey swings his sword back behind him which are together and makes a loud screech noise. He then runs towards the ATAV-87C which the pilots notices him running at them they quickly move the controls to attack Zey. Zey sees the arms of the ATAV-87C move which he jumps up into the air towards the front of the ATAV-87C his swords begin to glow. Zey arrives in the front of the ATAV-87C area where he begins to swing his swords a number of times as each he swings one sword the other is close behind it. The first swing hits the ATAV-87C in a mid-right to left swing and the second one is a reverse of the first one. The next swing is he brings his swords down to his lower right side and swings it in a upwards left way. As he reaches the peak of the swing he spins upwards and stops facing the ATAV-87C with him holding is swords back over his head which he then slams them into the ATAV-87C. Each blow was strong enough to make the ATAV-87C move in the direction he hit it. Zey then lands on the ground kneel and his right hand on the ground still holding the sword which he then jumps up spinning holding his swords outwards hitting the ATAV-87C.

The front pilot growls as the ATAV-87C takes from Zey's attack and looks up into the air seeing Zey spinning up into it saying, "Damn! What the hell is he!?!"

The rear pilot states, "I have no idea that anyone could be this strong!!"

The both look onwards at Zey awaiting his next attack which Zey's swords glow brightly as he soars up into the air. As Zey comes to a stop he throws his swords down towards the ATAV-87C glow intensely. The swords impact and impale the ATAV-87C on the shoulders which Zey just hovers in the air for a few seconds. He then throws his right arm up into the air and he swings it down facing the ATAV-87C. He closes his eyes as he concentrates on something stay holding his right hand down towards the ATAV-87C. As he concentrates thousands of glowing orbs surrounds the ATAV-87C and forms into swords.

The pilots look out of the cockpit windows at all the glowing swords surrounding them which the front pilot yells, "W-W-What the hell!!! H-H-How!!! This is impossible!!"

The rear pilot quickly looks at all that he can see shouting, "No No No No No No No No!!! This can't be!! How can someone does something like this!!"

Zey slowly opens his eyes as he looks down at the ATAV-87C with his right hand still pointing towards it. He clamps his right hand into a fist which sends the glowing swords towards the ATAV-87C. The swords collide into the ATAV-87C and explodes one after the other. Zey then falls to the ground as the swords continue to collide into the ATAV-87C which smoke over comes it and the swords. He lands on the ground standing sideways looking towards the area where the ATAV-87C stands covered in smoke. In the smoke two bright lights can be seen getting brighter and brighter until a certain point where the two bright lights exploded. The force of the explosion as strong enough to make Zey brown trench coat sway violently in the wind a long with his hair but he stood still like a brick wall. Zey looks up into the sky seeing his swords fall from the sky. So he raises both of his arms up and catches them both by their handles. Zey still having his body turn sideway turns completely around towards Dan and Rain. Zey walks towards them with a green aura surrounding him.

As he came close to them he shouts, "Cura all!"

As he shouts that three medium sized white glowing ords appears over his heads and their bodies moving in a spins motion inwards toward each other. Once they collide with each other in the middle part over Zey's heads and Dan's and Rain's body they shout out little white sparkles over and around them. All the wounds on their bodies heal and any trace of their battles disappears. Dan who is landing next to Rain on the ground gets up grabbing his sword in the process. Rain does the same was well but garbs her daggers.

Dan holds his head looking around and says, "Whoa! Man I thought that was the end of us."

Rain as well holding her head looks at Dan and replies, "Yeah me to. Zey must have saved us?"

Dan turns around letting go of his head looking towards the direction where Zey and the ATAV-87C are at. Dan sees Zey kneel on the ground breathing very hard and looking very exhausted.

So Dan rushes over to Zey side asking, "Hey man are you okay!? Are you going to make it!?"

Rain behind Dan looking around and sees the smoke from the aftermath of Zey attack saying, "Whoa Zey! You went all out on it didn't you?"

Zey slowly and very tired looked up at Rain softly laughs and slowly says, "Yeah I did."

Dan puts his sword on the ground and places his right hand on Zey's shoulder saying, "Hey thanks man! If you didn't do this none of us would still be here right now."

Zey places his sword on the ground that was in his right and moves his right on up grabbing Dan's hand smile softly looking at him saying, "Of course we are family here. I couldn't let anything happen to you to."

Dan smiles back at Zey lets go of his shoulder and picks up his sword on the ground standing up saying, "Come on we need to get you to a safe place where you can rest up for a bit."

Zey softly nods as a response picks up his sword and stabs them into the ground to help himself up off the ground. As Dan and Rain try to help up Zey when a loud metal rubbing against metal sound and jet engines starting up could be heard coming from the smokey area where the ATAV-87C resides. Dan and Rain quickly move in front of Zey holding their weapons ready from anything to come out. Both Rain and Dan look hard into the smoke to see what is out their but unable to. As they continue to look a electric blue light could be seen piercing the smoke showing signs of what could be an attack. Just then electricity shoots out of the smoke towards them. About to jump out of the out of reaction Dan and Rain force themselves to stay in the path of the attack to protect Zey. The electricity attack hits Dan and Rain causes them to yell out in extreme pain. Zey turns his head quickly seeing them being shocked and the source to the attack from the area of the ATAV-87C. So Zey forces himself to his feet and quickly turns around as both Dan and Rain collapse to their knees he see the ATAV-87C. The ATAV-87C was badly damaged from Zey's attack; the left arm missing, the right a chuck missing from the joint area, half of the right leg missing, the left leg messed up, the cockpit windows cracked and busted, and the rear pilot dead while the front pilot injured.

The front pilot with blood rolling down left side of his face with an angry expression looking towards them says to himself, "No one can bring down the All-Terrain-Assault-Vehicle model 87-C! No one! And I especially won't let you and your friends get away from me for what you did to my friend and me! Now prepare to die!!!"

The pilot push a button on the keyboard in front of him which a blue triangle shaped crystal on the front end of the cockpit starts to glow and pull in energy from the air. Zey sees the crystal charging up so then a green aura surround Zey.

Zey stares at the pilot with an angry expression as well then throws his right arm out to the side as the aura disappears shouting, "Thundara!"

Just then two lightning bolts came soaring down hitting the ATAV-87C on the top and sent electrical waves down the entire body of it. At parts of the electrical wiring and circuit board cut or exposed electricity danced from it. During this the ATAV-87C floated down on it's left side and the crystal stopped glowing. It lands on the ground resting with no movement what so ever but the faint yelling of the pilot. Zey was about to run towards the ATAV-87C when Dan stood up shaking his head.

Rain does the same as well when Zey walks to them saying, "We need to bring that thing down once and for all. I don't think we can last much longer against it if we don't."

Rain turns her head towards Zey and Dan replying, "Yes that is true...."

Rain just stands there think for a few seconds when she says, "What about our combined Overdrive attack?"

Dan who is already looking at her looks towards the ATAV-87C replying, "Well that could work but it is also risky."

Zey walks up in between them facing towards the area where the ATAV-87C lays stating, "Yes it would. If we did use it, it would leave us tired and unable to defend ourselves if it was to survive the attack."

Rain with a displeased face turn towards the ATAV-87C saying, "Yeah but I can't think of any other way to bring it down."

Dan glances at Rain and firmly says, "Let's do it!"

Zey with a shocked expression quickly turns facing Dan asking, "What!? Really!?"

Just as Zey as that the Jet engines on the ATAV-87C start up with a loud roaring sound.

They all look towards it with Dan takes a few steps forwards stating, "Yes. Rain is right there seems to be no other way to bring this down."

Zey takes a step forward towards Dan saying loudly, "I must strongly disagree with this. There must be another way!"

Dan holds his sword in his right hand on his right side reading himself for their attack replying, "Zey we took an oath once we joined the arm forces. We fight for our king, our kingdom, our people, and most importantly our family and friends. You were given a chose to join up or not.... Leo didn't make you join... he lets up chose our path in life."

Zey with a sadden face looks down at the ground the then quickly looks up towards the ATAV-87C as it hovers in the air in front of them saying proudly, "Yeah your right! I chose this life from myself... Now as a member of the arm forces and as your friend I will follow whatever you decide is best."

Dan looks at Zey quickly and nods saying, "Thanks."

They all look towards the ATAV-87C as it charges up its main cannon on the front.

Dan then looks at Rain and says, "Rain you take point. I will attack first and y'all follow behind me."

Both Rain and Zey nod saying, "Yes Sir!"

Rain walks a bit in front of Dan and Zey with them close behind her. Just then a red aura surrounds all of them with red electricity.

The pilot seeing this unfold before his very eyes shouts, "Oh! No you don't I won't let you!"

Dan, Rain, and Zey shouts, "Overdrive!... Heaven's protectors!"

The red aura disappears from around when the pilot push a button on the control panel. Dan jumps straight up into the air while Zey jumps to the side and Rain just runs straight for the ATAV-87C. As they are doing this the crystal on the front of the cockpit fires a beam of blue light at them. The blue beam passes over Rain's head only by a mere inch as she runs towards the ATAV-87C. The blue beam crashes into the ground where they once where and caused a giant explosion. Dan who is soaring up into the air comes to a stop and floats in the air holding his sword outwards from him. The pilot growls as he sees Dan up in the sky. As Dan holds his sword out it starts to gather energy into it from the air.

Aggrieved the pilot starts to type something on the control panel saying, "Oh no you don't! I won't go down that easy! I will stop you no matter what it takes!"

Once Dan's sword reached full power a circle aura jettisons from the blade and quickly disappears. He then grips his sword in both hands and swings it three times which sends crescent shape energy waves down towards the ATAV-87C. With the first swing it want from a high right to a low left, the second one went from mid-left to a mid-right and the last one was up to down swing. Each crescent wave hit the ATAV-87C and explodes with tremendous force. Dan then falls down to the ground with his sword glowing. Once landed he holds his sword in both hand and does a flip swing his sword upwards then letting it go at the peck of the swing. After the movement a huge shock wave shoots out from the ground from Dan and heads for the ATAV-87C. The shock wave hits the ATAV-87C exploding and sending it up into the air. Dan's sword that he let go flies up into the air and falls back down to the ground towards Rain who is stand kind of close the ATAV-87C.

Rain holds her hand up in the air catching Dan's sword saying, "My turn!"

Rain then jumps up in a twist and daggers appears out of nowhere and from a platform under feet. Rain lands on the platform of daggers holding Dan's sword in both hands on her left side. She picks it up and swings it spinning around with it. As she spins a whirlwind forms around her which she then stops swing the sword in front of her point it at it. The whirlwind then flies from her towards the ATAV-87C and hits it. The whirlwind encases it and daggers appear inside the whirlwind and slashes up the ATAV-87C. Rain then does a back flip off of the platform of daggers and hits them with Dan's sword in a downwards slash sending them flying and hitting the ATAV-87C. The daggers that impale the ATAV-87C glow and then shortly explode send the ATAV-87C backwards. Once Rain lands on the ground she throws Dan's sword up into the air along with one of her daggers.

The pilot who is still alive grunts at Rain's attack and tries to maintain flight control over the ATAV-87C shouts, "No! This can be happening! I can't go down like this!... I won't go down like this!!"

Zey looks up into the air seeing both Dan's and Rain's weapon flying up into the air he then jumps up after them. As he shoots up towards them he grips both of his swords in his hand and spins around. As he spins around he throws both of his swords at the ATAV-87C. The swords impale it and just stay there in the shoulder area. Zey stops himself from spinning and grabs both Dan's sword and Rain's dagger. He crosses his arms in front of his chest as he starts to slow down then closes his eyes. Once Zey started to fall back down he opens his eyes and Rain's dagger glow brightly shining like a star in the sky. As Zey falls he throws Rain's dagger down which as he flies down to ground energy circles around it and in the energy images of Zey's sword can be seen. Rain's dagger lands on the ground in front of the ATAV-87C while the images of Zey's swords land around it and absorb into the ground. Just only a few seconds later the ground explode from underneath and sends a shockwave upwards hitting the ATAV-87C sending it up into the sky. Zey seeing this hold Dan's sword above his head and lends forwards as he falls down to the ground. As Zey lends forward as he falls down he starts to spin in a circle until his movement become like a saw motion holding Dan's sword above his head. Zey just continues to fall and spin faster until reaching the ATAV-87C here he stops and slams Dan's sword into. The force of the hit sends it back down to ground where it crashes into the ground. Zey lands kneeling right in front of Rain's dagger where he picks it up quickly and jumps back throwing both Dan's and Rain's weapons back behind him. Dan and Rain reach up into the air and grab both of their weapons. Zey lands in the middle of them and just stands there looking at the ATAV-87C. As the ATAV-87C rises back into the air Zey's sword being to glow for a few seconds then explodes. Smoke covers the area where the ATAV-87C is at which Zey hold both of his hand up into the air and catches both of his swords as they fall back down. Dan, Rain, and Zey then collapse to their knees on the ground from exhaustion breathing heavily.

Rain looks at both Dan and Zey try to speak clearly saying, "We did it!"

Dan looks at Rain only returning a faint smile as a reply.

Zey softly laughs as his form of a reply.

Just then jet engines could be heard roaring again coming from the smoke in front of them. They all look up and see the smoke clearing and that the ATAV-87C was still not down but only damaged even more!

Unable to form words in his mouth due to the exhaustion Dan hangs his head down closing his eyes tightly thinking, "Damn! We were so close! But it seems like we failed in the end! My dream may have not been accurate but we still are going to die... Katrina I am sorry... but it seems like I won't be able to continue rising our son..."

Rain and Zey just hang their heads low as well knowing that they don't have any energy left to do anything.

The pilot of the ATAV-87C bloody from their attack shouts, "HAHAHAAA! I know no one could take the ATAV-87C down! Now prepare for your long awaited deaths! Blaster Cannon Fire!"

The crystal on the tip of the cockpit starts to gather energy from the air and glow brightly. All Dan and his team did was just continue kneeling on the ground awaiting their final seconds on the earth when all of a sudden holes on the haul of the ATAV-87C started to shoot out sparks then electricity started to dance from it as well. The pilot unnoticing continues to watch them grinning waiting for them to be destroyed when the ATAV-87C starts to shake and warning sirens going off.

The pilot stops watch them and sits down in his seat shout, "No No No!! This can't be happening! Not now! Not when I'm so close to destroying them!"

Dan and them look up as they hear the warning sirens going off and see the ATAV-87C shake then begin to sway as it hovers in the air.

The pilots shout, "No! I need to destroy them now!"

He types something on the control panel as fast as he could but it wasn't fast enough. At this point the ATAV-87C starts to lean backwards with the cannon facing upwards at the airships in the sky. The pilot trying his best to input the command doesn't notice this until it is to late and fires upwards toward an friendly airship. The beam hits a low flying airship and damages it to a point where it has to descend to a low altitude. Dan, Rain, and Zey look at the airship and then back at the ATAV-87C. The ATAV-87C slow back down backward in the crater left behind from Dan, Rain, and Zey's attack.

The pilot knowing what his about to happen tries to get out of the ATAV-87C shout, "No! I can let end like this!..... Noooooooooooooooo!!!!"

The ATAV-87C lands on it back and shakes violently then explodes.

Dan, Rain, and Zey out of amazement they let out a big sigh relief knowing that they final beat the ATAV-87C. Dan puts his head down and starts to laugh with Zey and Rain looking at him when a loud crashing noise could be heard. Dan stops laugh and looks toward the temple that is beside them which the crashing noise got louder and followed by a loud roar. Both Rain and Zey look as well when something comes crashing through the wall shrouded in a cloud of dust. The next thing that can be heard is another loud roar coming from the dust cloud.
