*****I DON'T OWN ZOIDS*****************************************************

Author's Notes: Even I don't know everything about Zoids. Some of my information has come from an RPG called "Yet Another Zoids RPG" which is a simple RPG but it does explain some things to me. So if you can tell me something about my information that isn't right, please tell me and that guy. He could really use the help. Also, the Dibison that Halo talks about isn't Thomas before any of you get any dumb ideas about that.

Chapter 10

Solar's Flare:

Final Flight of the Raven

Guardian Force Mission Log: Tenth attempt to stop Raven and his new Geno Reaper has failed. The Imperial capital, Guygalos, has been destroyed. Fortunately, Van and Fiona were able to get Emperor Rudolph away before the city was vaporized. Raven is now moving toward the Helic Republic capital, New Helic City. However, he's taking his time and we've utilized this to evacuate the city. With the loss of the organoid, Solar, we have lost a major defense against Raven's charged particle gun. Hopefully, Dr. Dee's new project will succeed in her resurrection. Lt. Thomas Shuboltz, reporting. End log.

(HALO)

"We got one!" I yelled as one of the Geno Reaper's claws went through the Zoid Core of a pesky Rev Raptor.

Another wave of those bothersome Rev Raptors came down upon us and Raven charged the Geno Reaper's powerful charged particle gun. As the charged particle gun fired, Raven swung the destructive beam around, vaporizing each Imperial Zoid with that one strike. Shadow didn't seem too excited by this battle and I really couldn't blame him. Seeing as that the Geno Reaper was a super-destructive golden Zoid, it would be pointless to oppose it. But for some deranged reason, these pilots of those Zoids ran straight into a futile battle with a Zoid that could vaporize you into stray quarks at the sub-atomic level. Nothing could oppose us now. Raven seemed to be enjoying himself as he destroyed each and every one of the bio-machines. It came to the point at which Raven began to play with these Zoids. Almost like a cat would after it had cornered a mouse. Picking up a Rev Raptor in the Geno Reaper, Raven threw the dinosaur-like Zoid into the air and brought it down to the earth with a swift hit from the Geno Reaper's tail. I loved the sound of metal bashing in metal. It sounded like music to my organoid ears. When two Rev Raptors came in with their cutter blades extended out, Raven jetted into the air and swung the Geno Reaper's tail, knocking the heads of the two half-witted Zoids. A Dibison fired its Megalow Max weapon which stung a bit but Raven swatted it by skewering the troublesome Zoid right through its Zoid Core. Raven began to charge up the Charged Particle Gun again and a Shield Liger activated its shield. Now, I know that we were in the heat of battle and this moron puts up a shield. I nearly busted out laughing. It was hysterical. Raven fired the Charged Particle Gun and the beam easily pierced the Shield Liger's poor excuse for a shield and I would have loved to see the look of surprise on that pilot's face as the beam sent the poor man to his maker. Through the cockpit cameras, I saw Raven shake his head.

"This is too easy. It isn't worth my time." Raven said piloting the destructive Zoid away from the battle.

"I just hope our next battle is more interesting." Shadow said to me.

"Me too, my love." I replied.

(Ambient)

The blast from the Thunder Saix's Thunder Beam Cannons had hit extremely hard. Hiltz was seriously hurt and I was dragging him across the desert wasteland, waiting for some foolish pilot with a Zoid to show up. It came sooner that I had anticipated and a Guysack had shown up. The pilot was a male human and I easily killed him. Setting Hiltz down in the cockpit, I fused with the Guysack and continued my journey to save my partner's life.

(Third Person: Guardian Force)

The base took on the casualties from the battles with the Geno Reaper well enough. But Van knew that they couldn't win this war against Raven. Zeke had lost the only person he ever loved. The two had produced an egg which had yet to hatch. Even so, Zeke had lost his will to fight. Despite talking with Beak and Fiona, Zeke still can't find a reason to fight and without him, Planet Zi might as well be space dust. If only Solar hadn't sacrificed herself to save them from Hiltz's Geno Reaper's self-destruct, we'd be able to fight this monster, Van thought. Dr. Dee was examining the wreckage of the Thunder Saix in order to see if he can either repair it or build a new one. Fiona had also taken Solar's loss harder than any of the humans had. Moonbay, Thomas, and Van had tried to comfort her but to no avail. The Ancient Zoidian girl had slipped into a depression which only the impossible could bring her out of it. Dr. Dee ran over to the group.

"Come quick! The egg's hatching." Dr. Dee said.

Everyone ran to the area where Solar's progeny was held. The egg slowly cracked and out came a cute little organoid. It was gold and silver; the colors were speckled over the organoid which made it even more unique.

"The little guy's cute. I know a good name for him; how about Flare?" Moonbay asked. "You know, Solar Flare."

"Good of name as any." Irvine said.

Then, something that no one in the group wanted to hear happened.

"Mah-mah!" Flare cried.

"Did he just say what I think he just said?" Moonbay asked.

"He did." Van replied.

Tears poured from Fiona's eyes as she hugged the little organoid, not knowing how to tell the new life that his mother was gone. Suddenly, the little organoid sprang up and ran out of the room. Logically, everyone ran after the little guy. This little guy seemed so fast that he might make a Storm Sworder seem like it was going through water. Barely able to keep pace with Flare, the group found themselves in front of a door with a coded keypad. Flare sat by the door for a few seconds and flew through the console causing the door to open to reveal a large laboratory. Dr. Dee knew what laboratory it was because he was the one who proposed the idea. They stared out into the center of the chamber where a stasis tube that contained a blackened organoid.

"Dr. Dee!" Fiona cried. "How could you do this to Solar?"

"Fiona, we're trying to bring her back. Solar's abilities are the only thing that might help us destroy the Geno Reaper. It was our only choice." Dr. Dee said.

"Look." Moonbay told them.

Gold specks began to form into a see-through cloud around Flare and Solar's tomb. The little organoid touched the glass of the tube and said those two words that the Guardian Force had heard the child say before.

"Mah-mah." Flare said pressing the glass.

The cloud got thicker.

"Mah-mah!" Flare cried in vain, pressing against the glass with one of his claws.

The cloud got thicker.

"MAH-MAH!" Flare yelled out slamming a claw against the glass.

A computer panel that no one was monitoring began displaying the data it was beginning to collect. Energy levels within the organoid body are rising.

The room was suddenly filled with a brilliant golden light as the glass that encased the organoid body was broken free. The liquid in the chamber spilled out onto the floor as a golden organoid was slumped over.

(Solar)

The last thing that I had remembered was the blinding pain from the Geno Reaper's self-destruct and then I was here. But before me was someone I had yearned to see. It was a silver and gold speckled organoid hatchling that stared at me with his deep red eyes.

"Mah-mah?" It said in wonder.

"My little Flare," I said hugging the little hatchling. "you brought me back from death. I love you, my boy."

"I love you too, Mah-mah." Flare said to me even though the humans would only hear growls.

Zeke, overcome with joy, rushed over to me with a hug and a baker's dozen of organoid kisses. We were happier than I can remember us being. Then, I saw Fiona. She walked over to me and bent down on her knees. Staring into my blue eyes, she asked, "Solar, is it you?"

"It is me, Fiona." I replied.

With tears of joy in her eyes, Fiona gave me a big hug.

"Oh, I missed you so much. Don't ever do that to me again. We were lost without you." Fiona told me.

Then, an alarm sounded. Major Herman ran into the laboratory, almost out of breath, he said, "Raven's about four hours outside New Helic City. We've got to stop him."

I ran into the hangar to find my Thunder Saix was in shambles. Even though it was badly damaged, I fused with it and began repairing the big cat. In ten minutes, only because I had to find the blasted parts, the Thunder Saix was completed and I lowered so that Fiona could enter the cockpit. The Thunder Saix, the Blade Liger, the Dibison, and the Command Wolf walked into a waiting Whale King.

"The high-speed boosters should take us to the capital of the Republic before Raven arrives. There, you will jump out of the Whale King and try to keep Raven from using his charged particle gun. That's where you come in Solar. I want you to intercept any blasts he might fire. Is that understood?" Major Herman asked.

"Yes, sir." Everyone said.

Looking towards Irvine's Command Wolf, I saw my son on the cockpit of the Zoid.

"Looks like the organoidless pilot will just have to rely on old Lady Luck." Irvine said smugly.

"I don't think so." Moonbay said pointing towards Irvine's Command Wolf. "Looks like a little kid wants to play."

"Great, four organoids and I get stuck with the kid." Irvine said.

"If it makes you feel any better, Irvine," Fiona said. "Flare probably has Solar's gift for neutralizing any energy weapon fired at her."

"Well, that's an improvement." Irvine said.

When we were over the city, the Whale King's bay doors opened up. The Organoid quartet fused with our Zoids as our pilots got in. Everyone did not like the view we had of New Helic City. The view was okay, for over three thousand feet.

"I thought you said we were jumping in close to the ground." Van asked Major Herman.

"Sorry, this is as close as I can get you. Dr. Dee said that your organoids should be able to make your Zoids land right." Major Herman said.

I turned the Thunder Saix's head to the Command Wolf, Dibison, and the Blade Liger. If I were human, I would have had a grin on my face.

"Last one down is Shadow!" I yelled as I jumped out of the bay doors.

Quickly, everyone followed suit and we landed in a dying city. Buildings were tipped over in what seemed like a giant's game of dominoes but I knew that wasn't the case. Raven had already arrived and had started a deadly game. Already, I saw the carcasses of Zoids whose Cores were ripped out by the Geno Reaper's massively powerful jaws. We followed the sound of a battle to see the Geno Reaper, biting the head off of a Godos as if it was a piece of candy. The Geno Reaper turned to see us and threw the Godos aside and spit out the head which had become the tomb of the Zoid's pilot.

"Ah, more have come to play." Raven said.

"Good, a real battle." Shadow's voice said.

"Good, more things to blow up." Another organoid said.

"Who are you?" I asked the organoid.

"I am the human formerly known as Lorry. Now, I'm the biggest and baddest organoid this side of Guygalos. The name's now Halo." Halo said.

"Where you are going, Halo," Beak said. "Your name will be a misnomer."

"Talk, talk, talk." Halo said. "Let's fight."

The Geno Reaper began to move and charge up its Charged Particle Gun. When the Geno Reaper fired, I moved into the way and the beam's destructive qualities quickly dissipated. With a firm swing from the Geno Reaper's tail, I was sent flying with the Blade Liger and the Dibison. Only the Command Wolf remained on the ground and Raven wasted no time exploiting this opportunity. Raven began to bash and gouge out the armor of the Command Wolf and all Irvine could do would be to get out of the way which was impossible. The Geno Reaper was relentless in trying to destroy this Command Wolf. I heard over the comm Flare's cries.

"I can't let Uncle Irvine down!" Flare yelled.

As I sped towards the scene, I saw the Command Wolf glow gold as it evolved into the Konig Wolf. Irvine was undoubtably surprised and fired missiles into the Geno Reaper's side. Raven charged up his Charged Particle Gun and fired it at me. This time, it was at full power and I was hurled through ten buildings before finally settling down to the Earth. I ran back to the scene to see the three remaining Zoids were fighting a losing battle against the Geno Reaper. A plan flashed into my head and I knew that it was risky.

"Solar, if you have a plan, go for it." Fiona said trusting me.

I ran down the street and yanked a long metal streetlight out of the ground with the Thunder Saix's jaws. Accelerating up a group of dominoed buildings until I was at about Mach Six. When I was over the scene of the battle, I hurled the pole down towards the earth. I know the plan was risky, but then I remembered something. Despite the size of an object, if hurled at rather fast velocities, it would tear right through titanium. My hope payed off as the streetlight buried itself withing the Geno Reaper's cockpit. When I landed, I saw Shadow and Halo get out of the ruined Geno Reaper. Shadow pried off the cockpit door and saw his friend, badly injured and bleeding to death. Reaching towards Shadow with one hand, Raven said, "Shadow..." With that, one of Van's worst enemies perished and I had just made two more enemies. Shadow flew towards the Thunder Saix's cockpit and I knew what he planned to do. Almost instantaneously, I got out of the Thunder Saix and sliced the black organoid in half. My attention turned to Halo, who was backing away from the battle.

"Shadow..."She said. "I'll kill you, myself, Solar."

With that, Halo flew away. A feeling of dread welled up inside me as I had the feeling that she would bring something worse than anything the transformed organoid had ever seen.
