Fan Fiction / Zoids Fan Fiction ❯ A Legend Coming True ❯ Artemis and Apollo ( Chapter 20 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Emralo stopped a the edge of a small village. The emerald zoid's cockpit swung open and Thomas jumped out. Reisee soon apeared behind him with Saphira.
"This village is far from the rest of the world. They don't know much about what happenes outside their home. It will be a good place to stay till we get everything straightened out."Thomas said as they were joined by the twin ligers and the organoids.
"If you insist."Reisee said as Specular handed her the duffel bag with her belongings in it.
The fairly odd team walked into the village hoping to find a place to stay, the found alot more. Suddenly a bullet flew by Reisee's ear. She spun around expecting to see a man. Instead she saw a young girl no older than they were holding a rifle.
"What do you want here?"the girl said aiming her rifle again.
"We just need a place to stay."Thomas said trying not to make her mad.
"Outlaws are not welcome here."the girl saidglaring at them.
"Why do you say we are outlaws?"Reisee said cooly.
"Only outlaws travel with demonic looking organoids like that."the girl growled remembering the two outlaws that lived outside the village.
She fired another bullet. It almost hit Thomas in the head.
"Go live with your own kind."the girl said getting ready to shoot again.
Someone suddenly pulled Reisee and Thomas into an alley way. They were knocked out by someone spraying sleep gas in thier faces.

Thomas sat up. He was lying on a straw bed on the ground. He looked around Reisee was alseep on the ground nearby, the zoids and organoids were scattered in various places in the cave.
"Good, you're awake."a voice came from the shadows making Thomas jump,"Relax, I won't hurt you."
A young woman wearing purple capries and a black tube top walked out of the shadows. Then Thomas really jumped, she had wings! They were amethist purple streaked with black. Thomas guessed from the fact that they reached down to her ankles that she had about a twelve foot wing span. Her hair was dark purple streaked with black. Her eyes were deep black pits. She had an X scar right through her left eye.
"Where are we?"Thomas said looking baffeled at the young woman.
"You are in the ruins about ten miles outside of the hidden village. You are lucky my brother and I were in the village that day or that crazy girl would have killed you."The girl said sitting down on her knees next to Thomas.
"What do they have against outsiders."Thomas said looking around again.
"They don't trust anyone, especially outlaws. Anyone could tell you are an outlaw."
"That obvious? By the way, my name is Thomas."
"Yes. My name is Artemis. My brother's name is Apollo."
"That's Reisee over there. So you are outlaws too?"
"Yes. My bro and I are hated by most of Zi."
"Why?"
"I don't like to talk about it."
"Oh,......"
"What's your story?"
"It's a long story. When I was a boy I had no friends. One night a young girl showed up at the base. She brought zoids for the military. For four years she appeared every now and then. One night she showed up with a boy about our age. She asked me to help her find out who she was. Her name was Falcona, the boy who was with her was named Raven. It turned out the two of them were twins. Raven was hated by almost all of Zi. Of course we became best friends, inseperable. Raven stayed around but stayed hidden. One day four years later Raven vanished."
Thomas told Artemis his story word for word. In turn Artemis revealed a little of her past. She and her brother had always been loners. They became outlaws when they were sixteen. They had tried to break into a military base. Their wings didn't help, they had been born with them though they had devil blood. Her brother had black wings streaked with purple, they were twins.
Suddenly a lightning bolt lit up the cave, a dark figure walked in. Artemis stood up and hugged the figure.
"Apollo, you know I hate when you go out in these storms."Artemis said as the person pulled back his hood.
He was the same height as Artemis, about six feet tall. His hair was short and shot out in odd directions like his sister's it was dark purple streaked with black.
"Thomas, this is my twin brother, Apollo."Artemis said as Tomas got up still somewhat groggy he nearly fell over.
"He's gonna be fun."Apollo teased helping Thomas up.
"He and his friend will be staying here for awhile."Artemis said sitting down by a fire she built and picked a fish out of it and threw it to Thomas.
