::A huge sigh passed his lips as the words flowed through the com-link. Sitting back in his seat it was as if a large weight has passed from hsi shoulders. Glancing to his left he saw the large Rainbow Jerk pulling off from its course towards the Breaker. Wiping the sweat from his brow, Ryo's finger slipped away from the trigger of the Vulcan, the AZ weapon lowering down to a more aerodynamic position. Taking another long look at the multi-sensor as if to make sure that his reply would not be interupted, the emerald eyed man nodded in approval. He glanced back to the com-link finally, moving a jet black strand from his face. Moving a large portion of his jet black hair from his face he finally responded after what seemed like eons.::
Then what are you doing Eli? Why are we fighting? Does this allegiance to the Empire mean that much to you?
::In complete confidence, and trust in his opponent, he opened the cockpit, the Fox growling in compliance. Standing on the worn out zoids head, the equally battered pilot clenched his jaw, his yellow scarf wavering in the windy afternoon of the desert. He awaited Eli's next move, bearing the sweltering heat.::

She watched him through the com-link, entranced by his movements. The trance was suddenly broken by Kenji's words. Eli chewed her lower lip slightly, I could tell him I didn't know his fullname... that's embarrassingly true...
"I had my reasons... but if I had known it was you I wouldn't of attacked in the first place..." The Crystal Breaker grumbled softly, slightly getting bored of the talk. And that after we started we didn't quite stop..?
"Things happened and it led to a struggle between us..." At the 'us' part, her fluster deepened.
"It's not about the Empire," Eli smiled lightly, happy she was able to explain herself with his questions. A breath was taken in and let slowly before continuing, "but more of personal goals..." Trailing off again, she noticed Ryo opening his cockpit and stepping outside. Her eyes widen in shock at the sight.
At that moment, a dark voice filled with malice weaved a horrid idea, You know... Toyotomi is pretty vulnerable right now... you have to get back at those Republican Mercenaries for what they did... You could probaly crush him and that Fox's head... Eli quickly blocked out the voice with a, Ryo's too good to be that bad... and he couldn't of done it. And why am I talking to myself in my head...? Embarrassment took its toll on her, making her feel nervous. She thought about what Ryo was doing and decided to do the same, this would in theory, make a tie.
The blue armor on the Breaker's abdoment unlocked and steadily opened to reveal a tired Eli. Hot air blasted her face, making her sweat instantly in the Crystal Comet suit. She wouldn't have to deal with the heat if she had to helmet still on, but she didn't want to hide from her dear Ryo. Eli climbed out of the pilot seat and stood on the opened chest, rubbing the back of her hand agaisnt a slightly damp forhead. "Ryo...!"

::Sighing he slid down the side of the Fox hopping into the desert sand, beggining the long walk towards the giant zoid. As his feet sunk into the sand with each step, Ryo chuckled slightly at how corny this actually was, but nonetheless, if he had allowed the battle to continue, he'd probably be dead. As he approahced the Crystal Breaker, he clenched his jaw as he stared upward at the massive piece of machinery. Looking over his shoulder, at the not as big, but nonetheless, large Shadow Fox he sighed, his jaw muscles relaxing.::
I've really gotta learn how to relax... sheesh.
::All he really wanted to do was head back to the Hover Cargo, and regroup with his entire team. That would be good, he missed them as much as he didn't want to admit it. The hours spent in the sand had really drained the man, as he panted, mouth ajar. He blinked once or twice, as a swirling dust devil scooted inbetween the massive zoids legs. Finally he shouted up to the girl.::
You gonna stand up there all day, or what.
::A small smirk played across his gentle face, the emerald eyes still retaining that genuine shimmer that was Ryo's trademark. He had to say his respect for Eli had grown quite vastly over a matter of a few hours. He hadn't battled somebody like that in quite sometime. If she truly was commited to taking him down, he probably would have been dead by now, the battle was severly outmatched, his zoid much weaker than the Breaker, but that really didn't matter anymore, it was over.::

Grey eyes followed Ryo's journey across the grains of sand. Glee filled her until it was brought down by some embarrassment, I hope Ryo doesn't think bad of me due to this scuffle we just had..
When he finally reached her zoid, uncertainty filled her as she struggled to decide what to do and how to act. Should I be normal and pretend it was a normal battle? Or seem like the battle was overly hard... or apologize... or.... His voice breaking through her fretting thoughts. Eli brought her concentration back down to Ryo just in time to see his trademark smile. She instantly swooned and went off balance, falling off of her Breaker in quite the comical yet sad manner. A happy blissful fall to her dear Ryo.

((xDDDDDDDDDD))
Oh s**t.
::Ryo's eyes fluttered once as he saw the girl begin to fall, grunting he sprinted a few feet, before sliding on his knees in the thick sand, catching the girl in his arms. As the momentum of her fall caught up with him, he fell backwards, onto his back, her first slamming into his nose. He cried out in pain momentarily as the blood began to trickle down his upper lip. Licking the salty fluid from his lips, he sighed. Standing up he held the girl in his arms. His eyebrows raised at the fainted girl.::
You are a handful Eli.
::Sighing he simply stood there wondering what he should do, he figured she would wake up soon enough, and then he could be back with his team, she could follow if she wished, but there wouldn't be nearly enough room for her zoid along with the four now that Mark had joined up with them. Shaking his head lightly he marched across the desert sand towards the Shadow Fox. Staring up at the cockpit, and then back to Eli he clenched his jaw. Finally he decided it'd be better just to wait for her to wake. Sitting down on the giant paw, he took in the cool shade. Looking back down at the knocked out Eli, he brushed a strand of hair from her face, smiling lightly.::

((XD))
She felt her hand hit something and hard, though the object wasn't completely solid or anything. Eli decided to keep her eyes clothes for a bit as she tried to recompose from the swoon. Words were spoken, but she couldn't stick them together, all she felt was slight movement and being carried. Blazing heat made it even harder to bother with truly waking up. The heat was suddenly lightened by slight darkness and a nice cooldown. Then, something touched her, maybe not intentionally her, but moved some of her hair. Her mind began its work, reminding her that she was outside of her cockpit and most likely fell, leaving to the conclusion that she was basically being held by Ryo. Eli's face flustered.
The navy haired girl was fully awake but held her eyes closed, not sure on what to do exactly. He was probaly waiting for her to wake up though. Laying there as still as possible, she tried to pass that as being out cold, though her burning cheeks told her that he probaly noticed she wasn't as out as she was. Her shut lids twitched slightly, struggling between opening and keeping closed.

::The trickle didn't stop. Looking down at his lip with crossed eyes, he saw the warm trail of blood continuing to flow. Frowning, he wiped his nose gingerly, as it was quite tender from the blow caused by Eli's fall. He may have broken it, but it didn't really matter. Sighing he looked down at Eli, only to notice her eyelids shutting, and then fluttering slightly, twitching as if they were trying to conceal the grey eyes beneath from the outside world. Chuckling he shook his head in remark of the girls feigned condition. He jokingly played along, still getting the point across that he knew she was awake.::
Wonder when she'll wake up.
::He added a little extra emphasis on the word "wake" in his tonation, and laughed slightly at the end. He tried to soothe the girl anyhow though, stroking her hair back slightly. Minutes ago they were in a heated battle, now she lay in his lap, "fainted" and he was stroking her hair. The world worked in funny ways, Ryo lifted his eyebrows at the thought, a jet black strand of hair covering his left eye. The tattered scarf flapped in the hot gusty wind, slapping Ryo in the face softly. Frowning again he had stained the damn thing with his blood.::
Dammit, that isn't coming out.
::He rubbed at the crimson spatter, but that only seemed make make the stain worse off. Sighing he shook his head and put the scarf back around his neck, and returned to stroke the young girls navy locks.::

... I think he knows I'm awake... maybe I should ge- She stopped midthought as she felt Ryo's hand stroking her hair. Eli held still on his lap, enjoying the moment. Ten more minutes... Her mind relaxed and so did her body as it struggled from moving too suddenly a 'relaxing' position.
Blood. She could smell it, even if it didn't seem that big, yet it was close by. Which could mean... Ryo! Eli shot up suddenly with a frantic look, giving his form a look over then centered it on his nose. "A-Are you okay? Is that what I hit?" An embarrasing blush took the place of the other, though one could not tell the difference if not given a second glance. He most likely knew I was awake anyways...

::Sighing he finally noticed the girl stirring a tad more tha she had last time. Lifting his hand form her head, he blushed slightly as her eyelids fluttered open and then centered in upon his throbbing nose. It had stopped bleeding as profusely as before, but still had a somewhat constant flow. Frowning again he wiped his nose, blood trickling into the palm of his hand. With a small smile he nodded in reply to her question.::
You took a bit of a tumble. The nose was an accident though, you probably would have broken an arm if I hadn't caught you. A bloody nose is nothing to worry about Eli.
::With that he smiled with his eyes closed, and gave her a cheeky thumbs up. Opening those emerald gems again, Ryo heard a small sizzling from the rear of his zoid. As if on cue with his glance, a hunk of seared metal, undoubtedly from the Particle Cannon, fell into the hot sand. Chuckling he shrugged, speaking softly to himself.::
Repairs are repairs, nothing I can do about that... So. Are you well enough to pilot the Breaker on your own? Or do you need me to take you back in the Shadow Fox?
::With a content twinkle in his eyes, he awaited the girls answer. Truthfully though he hoped she was well enough to pilot, for a few reasons. One, being that he cared for her health, and second, it would be a very tight fit in the compact cockpit of the Fox.::

He saved me... Her panicked expression changed to a replying smile, up until she heard the sizzling too. Grey eyes followed his glance and cringed slightly, knowing that she had full responsibility for that. "Sorry about that..." she trailed off with a sheepy grin.
Ryo blushed... I'm still on him.She quickly got off him and onto the sand, pushing on her legs as she stood up. "Y-Yes, I'm fine. I don't wish to trouble you more then I have... bad enough that I took you away from your team for... hours."
Now, one should know if you quickly got up you would get a head rush. In the sudden urgency to get off her dear Ryo, her legs buckled and she fell back on to her rear into the sand. Mumbling slightly with her eyes closed, a gloved hand pressed agaisnt a temple. "I'm okay, stood up too quickly."

::He smiled lightly as he stood up. Ah, the blood on his nose seemed to be drying up, finally clotting. Shaking his head, he wiped the last remnants of the excess flow of blood from his mouth. Sighing he held out his non bloodied hand and helped the girl to her feet.::
You sure you're okay to pilot that thing on you're own? You still seem a bit out of it.
::He wanted to return to the Hover Cargo as soon as possible, but he didn't want to rush the girl into her cockpit and have her pass out while piloting that massive zoid. He sighed again, scratching his hair sheepishly as he awaited her response.::

Ack... he seems annoyed.. She took the offering and lightly pulled herself to her feet with his help. Strictly right after standing, she let go of his hand and swiped back some of her bangs.
"Yes, I'll be fine..." Eli smiled lightly and turned towards her Breaker, "You should go back to your team now..." Without another word, she quickly crossed the distance from him to her zoid and jumped into the cockpit, giving one last look to Ryo and smiled.
The stomping of her Breaker followed by the blue machines roar and blast of boosters won't be the last he'll hear of her zoid...

Was it something I said?
::He almost cried out to the roar of the thrusters. Sighing he shook his head. He was tired, battered, and bloodied. His eyes had the look of one who hadn't slept for days, which was partially true. Shrugging his shoulders, he slipped from under the shade, the pressing heat immediately hitting his body like a battering ram. Climbing to the cockpit, he took a final glance of the fleeting Breaker.::
See you around...
::With a sad shimmer to the emerald gleam, he jumped in the cockpit and fired up the Shadow Fox. With a roaring exclamation, the beast came to life. The sadness was gone. The eyes had that fire in them once again, but his body wouldn't last much longer. With a nod to the navigational system, he headed back the way he came. Rising over a dune he captured the image of the Hover Cargo way off in the distance. Smiling he headed for home.::
