Caolite splashed some water on Raven as he started waking up. His eyes opened drearily as he attempted getting up. "Well it's about time you woke up from your beauty sleep." Caolite joked. "What happened? Why are you here? Where's Shadow?" Raven scrambled to his feet in alarm. "I just saved your life you little turd, that cocky little tempertantrum of a zoid pilot was trying to use you as bait. Lucky for you, we found a way to beat him. *sigh*The things I do for people, even when they try to blow me up." Raven sat down again shocked. "You risked your life to save me? But, but I destroyed your zoid and almost killed you." "Yeah? So? I couldn't just shoot you. Besides, you were part of our strategy to beat him." Raven stared at Caolite, thoughts twisting through his head. He had tried to kill this girl, and still she saved his life. Why? Raven sat pondering for quite a while, untill Shadow burst in, hugging him happily. "Shadow! You're okay!" Caolite and AS watched warming reunion of Raven and Shadow, and were glad they desided not to leave him for Leviathen chow. Caolite fixed up the Konig Wolf and the Zaber Fang, while AS played around with Pok. Caolite wondered if there were any parts she could salvage from the battle. Maybe something from the Genosaurer or something that got sliced off the Leviathen. "Hey guys, I'm gonna go and see if I can find any scraps we can use from the battle." "I'll come with you. It's the least I can do after you saved my life." Raven tagged along as they searched the battle site for parts. Now this was a sight. Two arch-enemies helping eachother out. It was like cats and dogs being nice to one another. On land, they found a few small guns. Under water in the small lake that the Genosaurer was destroyed in, they found a much more powerful weapon. They found the charged particle cannon, the Genosaurer's most powerful weapon, and another valuble peice of equipment, a jet booster. They put the charged particle cannon on AS's Zaber Fang, since Caolite allready had one, and attached the boosters to the Konig Wolf. The rest of the weapons were split up between them. Everyone hung out and relaxed for a while when Raven brought up a question. "Hey guys, my Genosaurer was destroyed right? I don't have a zoid." "Well, you're an Imperial, you could just waltz right in there and ask for one, couldn't you?" AS replied. "Yeah, but they know I was with you, and they'll make me tell where you are. If they track you down you won't stand a chance. You'll have to leave a few days in advance before I go back. Then I can just say you dumped me out there for the vultures." "Hmm, your saving our cans, but making us look bad at the same time. Very clever. Even in a life and death situation you can still make snappy come backs." "Hey, I have a gift for annoying people. Be glad I'm even doing this at all. You should go now before I change my mind." Caolite hopped in the Command Wolf, AS in his Zaber Fang. Cobalt and Pok said good bye to Shadow, and trailed behind the two zoids, jabbering something about how Shadow wasn't that bad once you got to know him. "Hey Caolite?" "Yeah AS?" "Why'd we save Raven in the first place? I mean, if it wasn't for Cobalt, you wouldn't even have a zoid." "If it wasn't for Cobalt I probably wouldn't be here right now. I've had alot of near death situations and once you go through the things I have, people that want to blow you up don't really matter that much." "Yeah, but why didn't you just shoot at the Leviathen and get Raven out of the way?" "Because killing someone makes just as bad as the people who want to kill you. Two wrongs don't make a right." The two oddly paired zoids trudged loudly through the forest onto where ever they were headed next. Caolite had heard of an Imperial base farther south, maybe they could try and destroy it. Or maybe they could give another whirl as spies there. Naw. Even if she changed her name and made herself look different, they still knew what zoid she had, and knew about Cobalt. Who cared where they were going. They were on the open road again, no worries, just scenic routes and wilderness. Unfourtionatly it wouldn't last long. The Republican army was counting on them, and they couldn't just run off. They headed down south to the next Imperial base, where their next adventure lied.
