Return of the Angels

Raven wanted answers that were just not coming towards him from either of the females' mouths. In his eyes there were two beautiful females slumped on the floor in exhaustion and one other beautiful female tied to a chair. A black haired one looked as if she was out cold, her head was lolled forward, and her hair was covering her face so her facial features weren't undisguised. Then he looked at the ones of the floor. One of them was silver haired, long and silvery that glistened in the light. She was attending to a golden haired female whose hair turned even more golden in the sunlight that bore through the windows. His eyes widened upon the golden haired girl. Why the hell was she here?

He remembered her from when she saved him for that guy in the desert. But why the hell was she here of all places? It wasn't something he had expected. She was exhausted as he could see; her golden hair fell over her shoulder and touched the floor. What stunned him were those eyes that turned to look at him. Those dark eyes were like sapphires, such a glorious dark beauty. He shook his head. Why could he not distinguish the difference between them? Why must he constantly compare her to Sapphire when it's obvious there is the complete and total difference? She was beautiful, possibly even more so than Sapphire, but he couldn't simply ignore the fact that something inside of him was breaking.

He watched as she struggled to get herself to stand, but the silver haired girl helped her. They exchanged looks and the blonde politely thanked her for the assistance. She looked back over at Raven who still was demanding answers with his hard looks, but he refused to budge. He refused to show his surprise at both her strength and her determination. She was still doing things that Sapphire would. But why the hell was he still comparing them to each other? Could he not see the difference already? Or was he refusing to allow her death to actually play him? Could he not move along in his life without having to think of her? Was he always doomed to think about that woman who died three years ago?

He saw them make way for the exit and following them were three organoids. Gold, a turquoise and a green! "Wait!" They turned to face him, but the blonde's pained expression chocked words in his throat. But he quickly recovered. "I asked what was going on, so tell me already."

"You won't get answers through demands you big brat!" the silver haired girl snarled angrily.

"Ease yourself, Storm. Don't needlessly get angry with him, you're not going to go far with his stubborn ass." She turned to him. "Listen, Raven, there's no need to tell you anything. You won't understand, just like you didn't back at the desert. Just keep to the story that you were under hypnotism and then you can go back to your life by destroying bases to get back at Van who defeated you three years ago."

"What do you know of my story?" he snarled.

"Oh, much!" she told him with a sad smile. "Now isn't the time for diving into the past. It's much painful for me and I only wish to move on from it."

She turned to walk out the door with the help of Storm. "I don't think so! I want to know what's happened here and I want to know now."

He watched as she pulled away from Storm and although she was in pain, she made her way over to him and pushed him down onto the floor. "You stubborn bastard!" she shouted. "Stop thinking about what you want and just acknowledged that we saved you from your death! You've already bedded a demon that took control of her body and for all I know you could be corrupted."

He stood angrily. "Once again you're on about that demon shit. Stop living in your own damn world and actually come to some sense that you've gone insane."

She punched him right in the jaw. Her eyes were anger stained and her dark eyes appeared lighter. He looked at her shocked, already thinking that she was again Sapphire. Sapphire was the only one that dared to hit him. "The only one insane here, is you! Stop living in the damn past and move on with your damned life!" She turned around and headed for the door, this time she didn't stop, she didn't use the help offered to her. This time it was anger that had drove her out of that door.

He placed a hand to his cheek, it stung and still did. Her punch was strong and righteous. He deserved it, but he wouldn't admit that. Shadow stepped up to him but avoided his touch in case he took his anger out on him. Growling in his throat, he tried to comfort his master, but Raven paid him little mind. His eyes were still upon the door in which the girl had stormed angrily out of. Why does she still continue to resemble more and more of a girl that has long since died? She had died saving this planet from destruction from a guy named Rafael. Back then, it was revealed that he was a demon, and now… he was trying to convince that girl and himself that demon's didn't exist that she was insane. But he had been in league with one in the past.

Wait a minute… she couldn't be…? No she wasn't. No resemblance. Just because they were doing the same thing it doesn't mean to say that they are the same thing. There has to be some sort of explanation. But something tells him that he would only find that with that blonde haired girl. But she had refused to share anything with him, just a story that he couldn't buy. There must be something that she was unwilling to share with him. But then her words struck him. He had bedded a demon that had possessed a girl? He looked over at the black haired beauty. He couldn't imagine himself bedding her. She wasn't in his criteria that he expected to find in a female. But for some reason, his body reacted strangely. As if it had come to know her body.

His eyes widened. She had been telling the truth! He stood up and ran out of the house without a look back. How could he have been anymore stupid? He couldn't even remember the past few days but nobody appeared to want to enlighten him about it either. He looked around his surroundings. Where the hell was he? Shadow came out after him and stood at his side. At least he had his organoid. His chest was breathing heavily from what he had discovered. But what he found out was that he was not looking for a way of escape, but he was looking for that girl. Was she around here still or had she completely moved off and forgotten about him?

He wanted to know more. But he couldn't bring himself to do that. He had more important things on his mind. Such as Van Flyheight! She was right, he is thinking on the past and all he wants is to destroy the person who had defeated him three years ago. Van Flyheight was going to pay for it. He will exact his revenge onto him, but for now, he needed a zoid and supplies. He walked through the unfamiliar place trying to locate a place to stock up supplies. But as he neared it, he was taken by the arm and shoved into the alleyway. His face struck the wall and his chest was pushed further up it. His hands were behind his back and then he felt the rope tie his hands tightly together. He was taken by the shoulder and forced around so that his back hit the wall.

He looked down at the silver haired girl he had known to be called Storm. She was grinning and then she turned to look at the blonde haired girl who leaned against the wall opposite him. She carried a gun that was pointed at the sky, but nevertheless, she was armed and not entirely happy either. Her eyes were away from his, refusing to look at him, but the silver haired girl was opposite. She was glad that he was in this situation, almost too happy. He narrowed his eyes at her and she frowned at him and stepped on his foot. He growled and in response he got a gun to his face. At the other end were dark sapphire eyes that were blazing in fury.

"Growl at her again and I'll blow your brains out."

"If you're so angry with me and want nothing to do with me, why the hell are you doing this?"

She scoffed. "Don't act stupid on me Raven; I know you're smarter than that."

"If you actually considered time to remember, you'd find out that we never said we wanted nothing to do with you. Think Raven, why were we there in the first place?" the silver haired one said to him.

"Oh how should I know? Wait, maybe you were to have demonic sex with me as well!" the blonde slapped him at the side of his head. "What the hell is your problem?"

"My problem has always been you, you dolt." She leaned back against the wall and averted her gaze to the streets. "I don't have time to dick around with you, Raven; I have far more important business to attend to."

"Then why are you bothering with me?"

She never turned to look at him but she did reply. "We're taking you in… to the Guardian Force!"

About two hours later, Raven had been seated into Storm's sky zoid that hovered above the zoid beneath. His hands were now tied before him so that he could sit more comfortably in his seat, but he doubted they wanted him to be comfortable. He glanced at Rain's head, glaring deathly at her. Previously she had been performing some tricks that scared him half to death as he thought she'd crash. But when she pulled back up from near to crashing, she laughed. She was somebody he thought deserved to come close to death to discover what he feels like. Maybe then she wouldn't pull something like that again. He growled at her a few times but she only mimicked him, and otherwise ignored him.

He glanced out through the orange hanger. It expected it to be nothing more than the orange colour that it is, and so he discovered that no matter where he looked it would be boring to behold. He wanted to know where the blonde's zoid was beneath them. He wanted to see what it was like to look down from above, but he knew it was pointless. Whatever reasons they had to take him in, he knew he was not going to let them do that without a fight. But something tells him that they were not willing to put up with a fight. Well not the blonde haired one that is.

He waited till he neared a village that they were going to stop at for some supplies for the road. He knew that this was loaded in zoids as he could see that before Storm had landed. It was ripe with zoids to steal, but first thing he had to do was escape. Storm was a lot less observant than the blonde, but he knew that it would be Storm who would be putting up with him. She even connected a rope to him as she led him around. She gathered her own supplies whereas the other had her own as well. Was she like that with all of her team? Allowed them to gather their own supplies? Not very smart if you ask him!

He watched what she brought and raised an eyebrow up at them. She turned and glared at him a few times when he nearly laughed at what he discovered. This girl was far from trying to act all soldier like. She brought everything that a girl would, everything that she preferred. To discover that his captor was just as girly as the rest made things a little easier on him. But now he just needed to wait for the perfect location and the perfect time to actually put his own plans into action.
