A/N: 'Nother Raven/Moonbay story. Geeze, I hope I'm not smothering anybody. But since I said I would put some more stories about them up, I decided on this one. Oh yeah! I started a Raven group in Yahoo! It's Raven the Dark! Check it out.





" When I get free, I'm gonna smash your face in!!"

Moonbay couldn't believe the situation she was in. It had happened so fast, she didn't have time to defend herself or run. It wouldn't have mattered though; they had a Pteras and a GunSniper; plus the fact it was -22* outside. She would stand no chance of getting away.

These people, whoever they were, were holding her as a hostage. They had taken over her Gustav and were currently on their way from the military base she was supposed to go to. They had taken two Dark Horns and one of them had a Storm Sworder.

It was a simple plan. Hijack a transporter, use their Gustav to get into a base, hold them as a hostage until they got their goods, leave the base and kill the transporter. She knew it well. This was one of the few times she wished she did listen to Irvine and carry more guns with her.

Unfortunately, she didn't. And she only had a matter of time before one of them came back in the storage room and off'ed her. She had worked the ropes on her wrists and ankles until she chafed. But they seemed to only get tighter. She had to find something to cut them or she would be in big trouble.

" Think transporter girl. Think." She said to herself.

Looking around the storage bay, she spied something shiny in the crate next to her.

" Yes!" She whispered to herself.

She kicked the crate until it broke open. Out tumbled a missile. Dismissing the immediate danger, she backed up against it and rubbed her binds against on of the wings on its tail. She had to get out of there fast.

Finally free of her restraints, she shed the ropes. Spying a detonator in the corner, Moonbay formed a plan.

***************

" Kou, are you sure it was a good idea to leave that transporter back there with the ammo?"

" Don't question me Sion. This is MY operation. I do what I want in MY operation."

" Yes sir."

" Of course, if you want off this operation, you lose your Dark Horn and your %20 of the money."

" Oh, no! I still want in! I do! I do! I was just making sure! That's all!"

" See that it is."

***************

Moonbay finished connecting the detonator and made sure everything was in place. She walked over to the door and keyed the open code. They were moving fast, but since the bomb was near the engine, it wouldn't last long. The snow would mitigate her fall.

Fingering the detonator, she looked back once. Sadly, she nodded and decided it was for the best. She needed to get out of there and away from these people. Even if it meant blowing the Gustav up. At least she knew she'd take care of them too.

" Goodbye Gustav. You've taken great care of me. You'll always be my favorite ZOID. Adios." She said wiping away a tear.

She jumped out the door. When she hit the ground, it was a lot harder than she thought it would be. It knocked the wind out of her. Her body rolled and tumbled as she fell down the slight incline.

When she finally stopped, she stood on her hands and knees. Looking at the Gustav again, she narrowed her eyes and pressed the button.

*BOOOOOM*

***************

" What was that?!"

Kou and Sion were rocked violently by the blast. And stronger ones came that almost knocked them down.

" What's going on down there?!" Said the SS pilot.

" We don't know! That girl must of detonated one of the missiles!!" Kou said.

" I told you that leaving her there was a bad idea!" Sion shouted.

" Oh shut up!!" He yelled.

" We have to get out of here!! Those bombs are going to hit the engines and blow the Dark Horns away!!" Sion said.

" Fine! Eject!" Kou ordered; strapping himself in.

" What about the girl?" He asked.

" What about her? If she survives, the cold will kill her." He said.

Both ejected as the Gustav rolled on. The explosions continued until they reached the Dark Horns and the engine. Then there was a huge devastating ka- boom. It shocked the terrain ferociously.

*****************

Moonbay was thrown 10ft. from the incline by the blast of the discharge. She landed on a rock stomach-first. When she landed, she heard the crack of her rib cage. Something was broken, she knew.

Groaning, she pulled herself up and starting walking away from the still volatile Gustav. It would be a hard, cold trek to the next town, but she couldn't stay there with the hijackers there looking for her for blowing apart their plans. She had to find shelter and help.

*****************

After a few hours of no civilization, Moonbay was extremely cold. She cursed the hijackers for throwing out her blankets and warming supplies. She knew she had hypothermia. She just didn't know how badly. She could barely see straight. She stumbled like a crazy animal until she just fell in the snow.

" S-s-s-so cold." She said.

Curling into a fetal position, she tried to conserve heat. But she continued to shiver violently. She didn't even remember how she got out there. She just tried to stay warm.

*****************

CLUNK. CLUNK. CLUNK.

Shadow was bored. Raven told him to go find some firewood or something, but he was still fed up. There was nothing to do. He was tired of pacing in their cave and he wanted to do something. So Raven told him to go find something to destroy.

The cold was no problem. No nerves, no feeling. He trudged around looking for anyone out he could attack or any sleeper ZOIDS. But he didn't find very much.

Softly growling, he started to make his way back home. But he stepped on something in the snow. It was soft and it made a noise. Curious as to what to was, he brush snow off with his tail.

It was a human.

Tilting his head to the side, he growled. She didn't move except for shivering. He leaned over and nudged her with his nose. She moaned and curled tighter into a ball.

This didn't look right. Humans didn't have blue lips the last time he recalled. And they didn't just shake like that without any other movement. Thinking maybe she was dead, he started to walk away.

" Wait... Please... D-Don't g-g-go." She said weakly.

Shadow turned around. She was reaching out for him. But her arm fell to the ground as she couldn't hold it up anymore. Walking back over to the girl he nudged her hand. She moved a little and touched his nose.

Deciding since he didn't know what was wrong and maybe Raven would, he opened his chest panels and wrapped the girl in tubes and closed it. He then opened his wings and flew away. At least things wouldn't be so boring anymore.
