ma 1st & last fic---- "87"

[ROss]

"Ye know A never wanted ti dae this."
"Pardon,rough-neck?"
"A said 'I never wanted to do this.' Underston noo little miss proper?"
"I understood you the first time. Never wanted to do what-this race?"
"This race, the last race, any race, piloting this big tin beastie....
"WWRAAWW"
"....Sorry Night, Anyway, I never wanted tae dae this. A used tae hate zoids wen A wis younger, A wiz mare intrested in those new fangled car thingys. Well it wisna zoids as such it wis mare the concept o people catchin wild animals- and that whit zoid ir remember- an forcin them tae fight each other. A jest didnae aggree way it."
"Well, when you put it like that, then you do have a point. But, not all zoids are captured, some are bread in captivity, some are tamed and passed down from one generation to another- And some.. Well some well just love to fight, like those hideous tyrannosaurs monstrosities, they attack anything with that moves."
"True, true......You got a vid-link in that thing?"
"Yes why?"
"Well by the look o yone guard oower ther, we ir gonna be here a wile. An A jest wanna see whit ye look like."
"Ok, Can I ask you one thing first?"
"Aye sure, fire away"
"Are you really a jock or are you fust pulling my leg, because I didn't think any of you survived when the glens got nuked"
"Yes A'm Caledoniona born an bread, An am on horribly dispigured if that whit ye ir afraid of"
Boiiiiieee, The monitor came to life and the image of a woman started to appeared on the screen. As it cleared up he could see she was around the same age as him, that's about 19 but he wasn't gonna ask her age as past experience had found that question to be followed by a swift slap round the head, this was not a very exciting prospect when the woman happens to be in a much larger and better armed zoid. So he though he'd stick to the old favourite.
"So what's your name miss?"
"Lau.. Talen, my friends call me Talen. What do you call yourself?"
"Most jest know me as 87,but my maw called me Ross, after ma grampa. That's an unusual combination you got there, Blue hair, blue eyes no wan A kin say av seen afore."
"Emmm, thanks I think, well I haven't seen a guy with those kind of eyes and hair like that since I found this wolf, actually it's a Jock too. Of course He didn't look quite as good back then"
"awch, away way ye! There wis only ever 3 wolfs in Caledoniona."
"Honestly I found Him when my family flew over the glens in their whale kings. He was dragging himself towards this burned out shell of a farm. His cockpit was shot out and his hind quarters where badly damaged, but its determination to reach what I can only presume was his home, made me rescue him."
"A farm you say, was there any people about?"
"No but there was the wreckage of other zoids, 2 obliterated command wolfs next to the farm and a whole bunch of smouldering dibisons all over the valley floor. They must have been caught up when the nukes went off. It was carnage, hard to think a computer could make such a big mistake as to blow away a whole country. You would think tha....."

[ROss]

"It wiz nae accident. It wiz an attack o the maste ferocity I have ever seen."
"What?, What are you talking about?"
"My family wir a peaceful lot, we refused tae fight fur either side. That's why we stayed in the glens, where they could never fin us. My father telt me it wiz coz he never wanted me to be forced to fight they way he wiz. You see when he wiz aboot my age, the family lived in a large toon doon on the lowlands, But wan day they came."
"Who, Who came?"
"Soldiers. They burst intae the house and ripped ma father and ma grampa, oot o the arms o their lover ones and dragged them oot the door to fight in a war they didna believe in. About four years later, they returned hame,my grampa blind in wan eye an deaf in wan ear, and my father minus a real arm an displayin the biggest scar av ever seen doon the left ho side o his face. The hale family wiz gone within a day, the hoose wiz empty, they removed ony trace that onybody hid ever lived there. When they hid returned fae the army what they had forgot tae tell us wiz that they hid stolen 3 wolfs. Now normally 3 wolfs wouldna have been missed, that is if they were normal wolfs, but these, these were special, when in their triad they hid the ability tae affect other zoids' natural instincts making them scared and refuse to respond tae their pilot, their speciality wiz tae mak large numbers o zoids group together to make an easier target for the artillery to obliterate. They were code named,'The Shepherds". Anyway, ower clan set up hame in the hills and started tae rebuild oor lives, ma father, grampa, and Blake-the pilot who helped them tae escape the war, piloted the 3 wolfs, expertly they knew exactly what each other was thinkin and whit move the other was gonna make. They started to farm dibison, but they didna go oot an capture enemy wans, whit they did was round up wild and rouge ones with the wolfs, and reared a hale new breed o bull zoid, they called them 'claymore Dibison' coz the environment which they grew up in ment they never had to develop yone massive guns regular ones have got ye ken, but their horns did develop tae me largest and sharper like the Claymore used by my ancestors.This wiz quite a good business, we cood hav been really rich but well we had morals an we widna sell them to onyone who wanted them fir fightin. Noo back tae the wolfs, coz they were like the collies used by shepherds tae round their sheep, they painted them like border collies, black way white chests an pawz, they were all differently coloured, and all different animals, the youngest wolf wiz Shep. He wiz very lively, but wiz silent on the job, no zoid could here it coming, he hid a black body whitha white chest, pawz and the tipof his tail. The lady of the pac was Sheeba, she was as light footed as a fire fox, She had audio upgrages which could hear a missile coming from over 30 miles away, Her markings were almost the same as Shep, but she hid boot like markins and a white collar. Mac, wis my da's wolf pure black with a white line runnin doon his back. He was something special, he wis strong, fierce and raw. He was perhaps closer to ma da than a wiz. No one else was ever allowed to pilot him, Mac jest widna allow it tae happen. Every time sumbody attemped tae climb intae him, he wood slamdoon his canopy, and growl with the most ferocious tone you can imagine. He gradually came to accept me as a pilot. Ma da telt Mac off if he growled at me. I dina ken whit went on between then during the war, but the mutual respect between, the man and hiz zoid wiz astounding. Every thing wiz great until that dat came. The shepherds were tendin tae their flock, when Sheeba picked up the faint sound of a barrage of missiles commng from over the hills, they thought it was jest sum restless locals squabbling. But the missiles were coming far too close they kent sumit wiz up. Then came the first strike. Thousands o missiles rained down on the land, the bulls scattered dodging missiles the shepherd fought to try and regain control of the herd. The fire storm ended exactly 87 seconds after it began, then silence. During the calm they rounded up most of the herd, some had damages but maste wiz minimal. As they steered the herd back towards the farm the next wave cave. They projectile wer a little larger, out of the surrounding woodland scores of rev-rapters came charging, they swamped the dibisons atleast 3 tae 1. The larger bulls held their own tossin the dino though the air which crashed to the ground, but no sooner had they hit the groond till they were back on the charge. They tiny dinos were relentless, slashing, biting and ripping intae the bigger beasts. The wolfs two were on the defensive, being faster opening the throttle they blasted past the group o raptors heading towards the farm hoose. They synergy of the two wolfs beat bak the attackin hordes. Butwhile eventually the sheer numbers gradually began tae ware the pair doon. While Sheeba an Shep bravely defended the family home, Mac wiz on the rampage, the combined rage of ma father and the wolf wiz terrifying even tae me. He sped towards the enemy zoids Mac snarling, teeth and claws glowing white. Raptors fell wan after the other, parts and chunks of shrapnel an debris rained down in his wake. But no matter how many zoid he culled, twice as many took their place. Mac's cannon was runnin low on ammo, an his claws were weakening way every blow. Relief came in the form of Green flares fired from beyond the hills, they signalled the retreat. The tiny dinos sprinted back intae the woods, pickin up some of the live pilots of the slayen zoids. Again an dangerous silence fell over the battleground, the very faint sound of clashin metal echoed in the valleys. The wolfs regrouped round the farms, while instinct made the strongest bulls, formed a ring o strength round the weakest o the herd. The silence was broken by the unmistakable sound o Whaleking engins came thundering over the the hills. Four o the mighty carriers emmerged fae the clouds an slowly decended and landed in a perfect line side by side. A godlike voice came over the loud speaker, demanding that the dibisons, and wolfs to be surrendered, an for the ex-soldiers to turn themselves in ur the zoids will be taken by force and the whole farm will be destoyed. Way that the Whalekins's hanger doors opened an four heavily armourd gordosaurs came stompin out each armed way a large electo-net generators, wen they got in range they fired the nets on the bulls.

[ROss]

The Stegos straied as the bulls resisted capture with all their might, then the bulls changes tactics and charged the stegos, those with horns gored the beasts, those without rammet and kicked. Eventually they droke free, While that sruggle was happening a group of ligers had been released fae another Whale, they surrounded Mac, Shep and Sheeba.'Give up and no one needs to get hurt', called on of the ligers. My da's response was to charge weapons, engage the zoid influencer, and Yell'Threaten ma famly again ye wee get,an a'll ram ma zoid sofar up your backside, all neec tae open yer gup so a cin climb oot ye ba', back then being 12 years old a though that was hysterical, despite the danger of the situation. All 3 wolfs charged, the ligers appeared paralysed as the wolfs stuck, swiftly disposing of the cats. Causing enough damage tae disable the but not enough as tokill the pilots. As the pilots evacuated, that scamp Shep chased after them snapping at their heels, again A fun masel rolling on the flare laughin. The whale kings took tae the air, there engines causing thrut so great as tae force the zoids below tae their knees. 'You have leftme no option, boomed the voice fae the fortress in the sky. As the flew off ma da, dropped Mac, an lept out, he had got seriously banged about in there, A could see stressmarks round the joint own his robotic arm. He came over tae me and kneeled doon infront of me and said he knew what was coming and that i must go, then he hoisted me up and put me in Mac.As he did so the sreachng roar of storm sworders could be heard.He said,'Mac look after my boy, I'm trusting you old friend', with a roar Mac jumped tohis feet and started tae accelerate towards thr horizon. Then the 3 storm sworders came soaring over the hill. They similtaniously droped the large bombs they wir carryin, and shot upward in a spiral then way a boom they blasted off bak fae where theey came. The last thing I heard wiz ma da sreamin at the tap o his lungs, 'Run, Ross Run an never stop!!', A could heard a soft thump then owathing went white, as the nukes exploded, Mac couldn't oot run the blast wave, He squeeled way pain when it caught him, the noise hr made still echoes in ma ears. The acidic blast front ate away at his hind quarters, pickin him up carrying him on the crest o it's wave. Milliseconds afore he was enveloped by the white, he ejectet me catapulting me high fast and far, far above the grund soarin ower the the hills intae the next valley. A cut ma sel cllear o the chair as it came floatin down tae earth. I jumpedoff wen it got close enough. I landed jest in time tae see the front hit the hills. A thought the world wiz gonna crumble, min awready hid, my whole famly wiped out int the blink o an eye. The only other thing running through my mine wis the last words o ma da 'Run',so a did, A turned an headed fur the horizon, and av never stopped. Hours turned to days, day became weeks, weeks months an months years. Only stoppin to eat sleep and rest, thats whit brings me here. A came across this molga alone and scared, it what pretty young, wel young fur a zoid. A could sence the same feelings in me in him, an a think he dun the same. We teamed up and we ran together, the bond between us wiz the same as that between ma da an Mac. He is my family, an am his. We race tae get away, get away fae our past, tae leave be hind the pain an sorrow. The number we race by has been important tae us '87'. 87second which signaled my end, 87 kills by my father that day, 87 months evading the army, and now 87 straight wins. An in a 8 minuts 7 seconds it'll be 87 hours stuk at this bloody checkpoint. Awww well."
"Wow, you poor man, I thought I had a poor childhood, flying arond the globe in Whale-kings, never getting to know any one, other than the crews who served my father. It was always 5 Whale-kings, I never knew what my father did but some times the other 4 Whale kings would go down to earth, to get supplies I guess. I wish I could have went down to earth on one of the other transports. The most exciting day of my life was when my father gave me Blanco, as he put it a 'busted okd wolf he found in a zoid grave yard in jockland', he had him fixed up and pesonalised form my 17th birthday, he showed me photos of when ffirst got him, his back end was almost gone, he looks muck better now, all shiney and white don't you think?"
"Yeah, bu.."

[ROss]

"I found a picture of a young boy in a wee cubby hole in the cockpit, when I was cleaning him one day. The boy looked a little like you, but much younger, chubbier and blonder. Actually h....2
"Did you say you lived on sum whale-kings?"
"Yes wh.."
"Was your father cawed Van Duke?"
"Why yes How did you know that, he was very secretive, he..."
"General Claud Van Duke, leader o 'Blitz squadren, the man who odered the forced draft of civilians, the soldier who forced my family to fight, the animal who attacked my family the beast who ruthlessly murdered the only people who ever loved me. The monster who ruined millions of lives all over Zi!!"
"Yes!, I mean No!, I mean Maybe, I mean I don't know!, he couldn't be!"
"WELL HE IS DIDN'T ONY O MA WHAT A SAID RING ANY BELLS! HOW COULD YOU NO KEN WHIT YOUR F****IN FATHER WAS UPTO? DID THE EXPLOSIONS BELOW YOU NO TWIG YOU'RE SUSPICIONS! FOR GOD SAKE WOMAN!"
"I..,I..,I never knew, How could I not know? How, why would he do that to your family. I don't understand, I just don't understand"
" Look Am sorry, A didn't mean to blow up at you. Dinnae cry. The subject, of my past is a painful one. A know it wisna your fault."
"*sniff* I know these things are hard"
"Ahh, Look here comes that wee gimp of a guard."
A soldier came wandering over from the small border checkpoint. He came over with a large assalt rifle over his shoulder, a walky-talky in one hand and a bunch of papers on the other. 87 opened his cockpit, the soldier came closer;
"Your chosen route through my country has been approved, and your details have been passed to the other check-points along, that route, I must warn you that if you deviate from this course, then my commrads will hunt you down and destroy you. Do you understand what i have said to you?
"Aye, an trust me you widna catch me if a did."
"Do you want me to let you cross or not? You are free to cross too Miss Van Duke, May I have the honor of welcoming you to my country."
"Thank you, sergent."
The soldier about turned and jogged back to the gate. He farted about with some levers till he foung the one which worked the gate. With a creek the gate which obviously hadn't been used in some time slowly be gan to raise. Before it had fuly opened Ross was off, ar full throttle he and night dissapeared into a cloud od sand and dust.
"Well, thats me off maybe I'll see you again but probably not, nice talkin tae ye Talen."
"Yeah, 87 maybe we will, bubye."
She severed the link to his radio, and vid-link, and punched in a new fequency. And waited fot it to tune in.
"Sooner than you think you dirty jock, Sooner than you think."
The light on the dislay lit up signaling that the radio had now tuned in.
"Father, I have located that jock you let escape. He now beleives I am a friendly. I will now finish the job you started."
"NO! Talen, dont he's..."
She cut the radio and headed off in pusuit of her quarry.


The fact of the matter was that the real reason the farm was attacked that day was Ross. Blake hadn't helped them to escape, he helped him to kidnap Ross, no one knows why. Ross was actually th First son of General Van Duke. The only reason why they did not nuke the farm straight off, wasn't to get the wolfs, they were now antiquanted after the invent of the KingWolf. Or to get the dibisons, they were not important. He knew that if he sent in waves off attack before the final blow, Ross escape.He had hunted for Ross for years, to no avail. Now his beloved daughter was out to kill his son and he never got the chance to and he knew he had no wy to stop him. Perhaps he should have let hisbrother to live in peace.

Oh did I forget to mention, the generals name Is Angus Van Duke, Formally Angus McDuke born in Glesgae, Caledoniona.

i know its not as good as some other sagas i could mentiom but it the best i could do, i've never been any good at creative writting.
Grammer is rubbish coz being scottish i don't use it much, this also accounts for the almost non existent punctuation. oh and most of it is ment to be spelt line that.lol and the continuity is quite wonky mainly coz i wrote it at about 1opm while watchin big brother, *note not a good i dea if you are trying to write a story*
