Blaze growled in a low tone confirming Arc's assumption. As he thought more about the situation his boosters flickered on again increasing his speed to max. There was something wrong with his pilot, there was something wrong with having this pilot in his head... That was his own conclusion.
"Rawg..." he mumbled as he tried to go any faster.
In the distance a forest-like area just barely peaked over the horizon.
A screen popped up in front of Arc. A lock on-like cross appeared in the middle of the forest on the screen. He zoomed in as close as possible, there one could just barely make out the armor of the red organoid. It was like a tiny red dot on the screen, one Blaze highlighted with the cross.

"hmm..." Arc said nothing as the zoid answered him that’s all he needed to know. Someone was in trouble, and needed help. And this Zoid went so far as let a complete and total stranger into his pit to save/help his partner. That’s something to cherish. -if that’s the case...- Arc looked at his bag again he only had a little bit of medical supplies remaining he was planning to stock back up but it never happened. His own wounds would have to wait. Arc wasn't looking forward to meeting another person so quickly after what just happened. But the person was in some sort of trouble and need help. Arc would never turn his back on someone to leave him or her to die. He did after all he did owe this Zoid some sort of pay for saving his life. Arc looked up from his bag and at the screen as it popped up .- is that?..- Arc opened his other eye and looked close at the screen -a...Zoid!?...it’s so...small...to big for a min. Zoid. But to small for ah...- looking up Arc noticed that they were approaching the wood like terrain. Fast.

Again there was a nudging on Nick's arm. Kagi must be at it again. The sun was starting to rise up in the east.
"What now?" She groaned.
"Gwar... Gra rrrrawar!" Kagi seemed to be excited about something, really excited. With each nudge he pushed harder and harder until he got Nick's full attention.
Nicky looked back at the organoid with quite a struggle, her arm was torn to shreds still. Better wrap that up. Why she just NOW thought of it? Who knows, she wasn't thinking to begin with.
"Hey, Kagi...Help me rip a piece off my coat." She struggled with every word.
She tried to scoot her good hand under herself for a boost up but it was a failure. Nicky growled as she kept failing her attempt to get back up.
Kagi moved to Nick's other side and used his nose as a prop. He pushed up slowly so that he could prop her against the tree again.
"Gwar rawr graa grag."
Something was going on; they couldn't stay here much longer.
____________________________________________________________
Blaze turned off his boosters not far from the woods. He didn't want to risk running over his pilot. There had been several times where he had nearly done that... Cautiously he weaved in and out of the trees. It scared him to see that there had been other Zoids in the area and by the prints, not too long ago.
The screen remain open and as they drew closer the red dot could be made out a bit better. Blaze changed the view on the screen to an infrared scanner. It was a Zoid? Larger than a human, sleek, and sharp. Along side of that there was a weaker thing on the screen, limply propped up against the tree.
In front of the two there were piles of something... quickly cooling. Those were impossible to make out.
The sun was just starting to rise over the horizon. The darkness of the night was slowly lightening up to a soft blue grey. In the wood that blue changed to a soft green.

- strange...its a zoid alright...that must be the polit...- Arc figured that the limp body was this zoid's pilot, he couldn't even make out the other piles. The other Zoid caught his eye though, he had never seen such a creature before it strangely gave him a small urge to want to have it-what was he thinking you don't own a zoid it's a equal partner ship. The zoid chose to stay with its partner. You can't own such a thing.
Arc tried to collect himself. to be prepared for anything he could afford another innocdent like before, the though of that white face if you can call as such hunted him though to whole thing was becoming a distant memory. strangely. But he would never forget after such a thing and the cut he boar he couldn't. I was the same with Songbird. Arc looked down at his abdomen again, He wish to though the dreams still haunted him and the pain more then physical. It was as if that woman that called her self a Judge ripped deeper into a already open wound.

Nick could make out Blaze's bulky figure from amongst the blur of colors.
"Blaze... Where have... you been..." She tried to sound excited to see him. It was hard to sound more than exhausted through the gasping.
Blaze lowered his head, opening the Cockpit as he did. The screen video disappeared just before the cockpit stated to open.
With a low growl Kagi moved defensively in front of Nick. The Zoids was not alone, he brought more of those dangerous strangers with him. He wanted to do in his own pilot? Not if Kagi had anything to do with it.
"GRAWWR!"

Making a small grunt Arc hoped out of the pit swiftly though it hurt to do so, he wouldn't show it he always tried to hide the fact that his lower torso was all ripped up under the bandages and he was vary good at it. Landing he didn't make a sound as he hit the ground he barely even made a crouching motion as he did so. Straightening up, Arc let out a heavy breath. It ached, his whole body; he had walked all day and was attack by that demon. And now he faced this Zoid.
Arc didn't take a step back as that red Zoid growled and made a defensive stance. He wasn't intimidated by it. His whole body was relaxed and he started to the pilot who still seemed to be concessions. He approached the zoid not planning to stop. The only thing that 'scared’ him was the fact that the idea of pulling out his magnum and shooting the defenseless pilot had slid into his mind; as Arc stared into the Zoids eyes with his own clam but still longing eyes. It was so strange to how calm Arc was. Though this threatening Zoid stood in his path and would attack him with out a second though. He knew this as he felt it.

The organoid growled again at Arc. His lime green eyes flashing with a kill lust. There was something about those eyes, not only a kill lust hid behind them, but a great greed as well. Just behind them was the mass remains of two people this creature had had his way with.
Nick tried to make out a face on the person who had just leapt out of Blaze. He must have been out looking for people, it was odd he let a stranger in his cockpit. If anyone She would have thought Blaze would have brought back Kyrea.
"Blaze... who..." She gasped as she limply grabbed the general's gun with her good hand.
It has still been there since she shot the general... now it would probably do her no good as she couldn't lift it, much less grip it. Maybe this wasn't Blzae, maybe it was some other zoid. Blaze was a one of a kind though. The colors, shape, it looked like him.
It was about this time she was starting to get delusional.
"Imperial... scum...get… away… my … zoi-" Her voice trailed off into unrecognizable mumbling.
A low growl emitted from deep within blaze's metallic throat. He tried to reassure his pilot that he was okay... that the stranger was not "bad".

-Blaze so that’s his name...- Arc made a long blink as he light shock his head as that horrible thought paired in his mind this time more distanced and almost totally gone. As Arc continued to approach the zoid he held out his arms as if he meant no harm. Stopping he looked from the Zoid to the woman. It was a woman and she looks really thrashed up. - Imperial scum?... a gun...she can't even lift it. She needs more help then what I can give her.-
"You will let me help her, won’t you? " Arc looked back at the zoid with a polite smile one he didn't show too often lately. Arc’s voice was smooth and prepared. Such a pleasant voice but it was hardly heard by human ears.

Kagi took this opportunity to jump at the guy. With his arms out, just like the idiot when he first awoke. Kagi's maw opened wide in sweet hopes to have the man's head in them.
"GRAW!"
Nick only caught the red blur that was her organoid move very quickly before the colors all swirled to black. Her fingers relaxed as she moved back into sleep.

As the Zoid jumped at Arc he was ready.- fine have it your way…- he was waiting for such an attack. It would hurt him more then the Zoid it's self but it was the only thing he could do in such a short time. His posture remained relaxed as he drop back falling backwards he trusted his foot upward as he fell to carry the zoid over him timing it so that it would hopefully use the own zoids momentum to flip him over his head before hitting the ground.

Kagi flew over this pilot. This he did not expect, every time he jumped at someone they would cringe and he would have his way with them. With a hiss the organoid flipped around and begun to charge while the guy was on the ground. All the time he expected the horror face from this enemy...

Arc hit the ground hard from the weight of the Zoid heaver then expected. Let out a small 'Gah' sound a shock of pain shot through his body, on the ground he heard the Zoid approaching for another attack. Like a machine with out the emotion of pain he used his hands and arm’s strength to push himself quickly off the ground without the use of his feet. Another stab through his body as he did so; to his feet his back was still turned to the Zoid and he face the Woman-this isn't the time for this! But he won't listen to reason this much I can tell. -
"Stop! This isn’t necessary!" Arc looked over his shoulder at the charging Zoid "Do you want her to live!?" There was a harshness to his voice that as if scolding a child.

The organoid did not care. There was one thing on his mind, kill. With that thought in mind his maw opened wide. Kagi felt lucky that this one didn't move much.
"Grawr..." Blaze mumbled as he moved his foot forward a bit. His big toe raised up as he moved. As Kagi Started to pick up his pace, blaze brought down his big toe. There was a hard *THUNK* noise from the other side.
Blaze's toe was only but a few feet from hitting Arc.

Arc wasn't expecting for blaze to bring down his foot in such a manner but he didn't flinch once. his breathing was nosier then normal. The ware was starting to show.He was not having the best of days as of late.
"Thank you."Arc breathed as he looked back and up at Blaze with a nod. With out a second more to waste he moved closer to the woman and crouched down in front of her. He didn't look or show it but ever inch of his body was hesitant, and cautious. Not in fear of she might do something to attack him but it was something in him he was always cautious around humans. As if afraid of them knowing him; the only human Arc really could 'relax' around was Cross and even that took along time.

There was a constant thumping sound coming from the other side of Blaze's toe as Kagi tried to ram through... He was managing to dent the larger zoid's armor, but nothing more.
Nick opened her eyes slightly. All she could see was a red blur in front of her.
"Not again... Kagi..." She mumbled as she looked up at Arc.
Her whole left arm was torn and shot up. Any skin color was only visible at the hand, and even than there was some blood stains. Her golden hair obscured and visual of the left side of her face. The sunglasses that were so neatly over her eyes rested on the tip of her nose.
