We had come to the city hangar, and left our zoids there.The four of us now walked on foot through the city streets.The Neo-Zenevas emblem was on almost every building and it was making Artemis uneasy."Um, g-guys.Th-this is a Neo-Zenevas city, correct?"he said
"Yeah, I would say so, judging by snake emblem on every practically every building."replied Ace.Artemis was pale as he looked down at the jacket he was wearing.I then saw what frightened him so much.There was the unmistakable emblem of the Helic Republic on it.
"Oh crap..."I said in a somewhat worried manner.
"That ize not good."said Vladimir."Ve must do zometheeng."
Vladimir's solution was simple and worked well.Over the emblem he put ducktape."Won't it look just a little bit suspicious?"asked Artemis.
"You vill just hav to live with eet."replied Vladimir.The streets were extremely run down, and we were the victims of many a threat from rowdy locals yelling from their stoops.Once in a while, i could see a storch fly over the city.Eventually, we came to a regal looking building, with large letters above the door reading"The Western Continent Zoid Museum"We entered, for it was a start.
Inside were exhibits on just about everything zoid related.I looked at an exhibit on the Death Saurer.Included in it was a fragment of its armor and all the destruction it caused.We moved on to an exhibit of zoid evolution.There was a fossilized organoid and a red genobreaker under extremely high security.We moved on to an exhibit on ancient zoids.I stared in wonder at a king gojulas that was standing almost to the ceiling.It had been dug up a few years ago and was complete, not missing any parts.Other exhibits included a working gungyarados, and descat.No gilvader though.It must have been too elusive for them.At this thought, I smirked.
We left the museum and came to a building that seemed to go to the heavens.This was said to be the tallest known building on Zi.On the top lived an ancient oracle that I thought might be able to help us.We entered the lobby and came to the front desk."Can I help you?"said the woman behind the desk."
"Sure, we're here ta see the oracle."said Ace."You'll have to wait then."said the woman.Eventually, it was our turn and we took the elevator to the top of the building.When we arrived at the top, the view was breathtaking.We could see the entire city and miles of wasteland.The oracle was an old man that sat at a simple work desk.He was speaking to a man in his late fourties that appeared to have been drinking.The oracle said something to him which caused him to begin sobbing uncontrollably.
He walked past us, still crying."Hello, how can I help you?"said the oracle in a kind voice.I explained to him what we were seeking, Ace, Artemis, and Vladimir nodding after every statement.After we had finished, the oracle nodded in approval."A gilvader's zoid core..."he said softly.He took out some rocks with strange markings on them and threw them down onto his desk.He studied them for a moment and then began speaking."To the Central Continent you must travel.Along the way, you will meet obtacles, joys, and anguish, but you will take the path.I cannot help you any further."
We picked up our zoids from the hangar and left the city.Our zoids were making good progress and had been repaired at the hangar.Vladimir's deadborder halted and his voice came over the com-link.It sounded worried."Ve are being vollowed..."All of a sudden, a genosaurer appeared before our very eyes.It was the same one I had seen in the arena hangar.I familiar voice came over the com-link.It was the mayor's."Vladimir, you traitor!All of you!I've followed you hear with my geno saurer's cloaking device and I will destroy you!Word of my pitfighting cannot get out!"His genosaurer's footlocks went down and its mouth began glowing.
"Look out,particle gun!"screamed Ace.We cleared out of the way just in time to avoid the blast.Artemis charged the geno in the chimera dragon and stabbed its neck through with one of the lances.I began firing my cougar's guns like mad.The geno shook Artemis off, and rushed forward at me.He slashed by cougar with his claw and was about to strike again, but was hit from behind by Vladimir's deadborder.The geno turned around and shot his claws out.They grabbed onto the deadborder, and sent electric volts through it.I heard Vladimir yell in pain over the com-link.Artemis and I shot at him somemore, but he dodged out of the way.He began laughing madly, but was then hit by Ace's particle blast he was charging.The mayor's laughing turned to screams as the blast hit him from the side.What was left of his geno collapsed smoldering.We never heard from the mayor again.
We continued on.We were hurt, but not that badly.We would make our way to the ocean to travel to the central continent.The oracle's prediction was correct.We would meet joy and anguish along the way.The real journey began here.
Chapter 13 coming soon!Note:If you read this, I would really appreciate if you responded and told me how you like it.Thanks!
