Back to base -open-

[Naia]

It was a long day, she had been out shopping, at the bar and even in a zoid battle! Now she was returning back home, to Shockwave's HQ. Smiling she then turned to her left, driving just a bit more she then saw the building and the garage. She carefully parked it in the garage. Turning off it's engine, she then sat back on the drivers seat looking around then taking a deep breath remembering the day so far. It was sunset, she watched as the garage doors went down, the view of the sunset slowly disappearing. The lights were turned on inside the base. She then stepped out of the gustav and headed back to see how Vaan was doing with Fenrir. Is Fenrir okay? She asked peeking at the two command wolves then looking at Fenrir.

[Vaan]

Vaan rode back to the base inside of Fenrir, who was being pulled by a gustav. Fenrir had recently suffered a loss due to a command system failure. Vaan had Fenrir moved into a zoid garage he had purchased and started to work on it. Naia came over and asked if Fenrir was alright. "Fenrir will be fine. It was just a command system failure" Vaan said smiling.

[Naia]

Naia smiled once he said that Fenrir will be okay. Need anything to..drink? She asked looking at him, seeing she was thirsty and she'd be helpful. Naia looked at Wolf, soon she needs to start working on it and get the dents out. She wasn't suuch a good mechanic but dents and small to medium damage she can fix. Soon they will have to make this place bigger, so far it's just the two in the team but it's going to grow soon. She can see it already, her and her Konig wolf. It's all a soon to be real dream.

[Vaan]

Vaan climbed off of Fenrir's head where he had been working. "Yeah. Could I have some water please" Vaan said. He looked at Naia's command wolf and saw it was in worse than Fenrir. "Hey Naia, do you want me to help with repairs to Wolf" Vaan asked. Vaan is pretty good with repairs and could maintain zoids pretty well. Vaan thought about the base and wondered if he could expand the base to hold more members.

[Naia]

Hearing that he wanted water she nodded and darted away into the small kitchen. Well it's a small base what kind of kitchen do you expect? She poured a glass of orange juice for her and a glass of water for Vaan. She then ran back into the garage and offered Vaan his drink. umm..a hand is always handy! She said remembering the word handy from a TV show. She looked at Wolf. Ik ga zo op je werken Wolf! She said in her own language. It took her a few seconds to realize that he didn't know dutch. Umm soon I will work on Wolf! She said translating it. She drank half the glass of juice now and just decided to sit and watch Vaan work on Fenrir for a moment.

[Vaan]

Vaan gratefully accepted the water from Naia. "Thanks" he said smiling. Vaan drank some water and then went back to work on Fenrir. After messing with a few wires in an electrical panel under Fenrir's right 'ear' Vaan smiled and closed the electrical panel followed by a sigh of relief. "There Fenrir should be working again" Vaan said happily. He heard Naia speak in Dutch, and thought for a moment. During his years as a mercenary Vaan had learned a few languages but had a hard time remembering everything. "Alright then, should we get started on Wolf" Vaan asked finishing the rest of his water. He was glad to be able to help his team mate.

[Naia]

Naia finished drinking her orange juice. She then placed the glass somewere she won't forget and no one will knock it down either. She then walked towards Wolf and looked up at it, it's chest was pretty damaged it's considered small damage as everything is still functioning. Hearing Vaan say they should start she turned and spoke. Yes, let me get my gear! She said grabbing a toolbox and taking a few things out. Well it's not everyday you see women getting dirt working like a mechanic. She used a few machines to get high up were the damage is and started with the repairing. I will take out the ..um..dents and you will repair the openings. She said pointing at three claw openings. It was just a small slice it won't take much.

[Vaan]

"Roger that" Vaan said playfully. He assessed the damage done by the claws and got the proper tool for the job. Luckily Naia and Vaan piloted the same kind of zoid so the damage was easy enough for Vaan to patch up. Vaan carefully reached into the claw marks and checked the wires. When he was sure they were fine we went on to fixing the scratches. Vaan placed some metal sheets over the scratches and used a blow torch to weld them into place. Vaan smiled as his repair work and thought he did a good job with it. He looked at a clock and saw it had only taken him a few minutes to patch everything up. "All done down here. Need any help up there" Vaan asked.

[Naia]

Naia started to take out the dents, then she'd work on the scratches and re paint Wolf. It took her about 25 minnutes to get all dents out, now to just repaint Wolf. She looked at Vaan surprised that he's already done. Yes. All I need to do is ...paint? She said doubting once more that she has the word good. Thanks to today's tools things go very fast. Well now to just spray paint Wolf so it will look as good as new! She loved having her zoid looking spic and span and of coarse scratch free.

[Vaan]

"Paint? Alright. The paint cans are over here" Vaan said walking over to some big crates in the corner. There were tolls he had purchased hadn't unpacked yet. Simple tools such as hammers, wrenches, a few blow torches, paint of course, and other stuff like that. Vaan could see the team base from where he was and was proud of it. True at the moment they only had two members but soon that would grow to a larger number. Vaan could also see Fenrir in it's garage and smiled. He was happy his zoid was repaired and looked good as new. Vaan waited for Naia to get the paint she wanted so he could help her.

[Naia]

Naia took out the dents. She then went to paint Wolf. She looked at the colors, seeing the black paint she then choose that one seeing her Zoid was solid black. Alright let's start! She said as she opened the paint bottle, she looked at the color, confirming it she then started to paint covering all the scratches. When the paint dries it will all look as good as new. Then the last hand on it would be the polish.

[Vaan]

Vaan helped Naia paint Wolf solid black. The paint would take a while to dry so Vaan decided to relax while waiting. He looked at the two command wolfs and thought about the team. Two command wolfs both with identical fighting styles, the team needed something new like an aerial zoid. As it was command wolfs were good on ground but can't fight in water or in the air plus the guns had limits. While thinking about everything Vaan sat on a create as if it were a chair. He wasn't sure about how to recruit new members, Vaan was lucky to have Naia on his team. Vaan's thoughts also drifted to the fight he just had, a few minutes into the fight and he got a trapped in a cave and then got a command system freeze while his partner ended the match in a draw. Some team captain Vaan turned out to he, in the last fight he had been useless. Would the same thing keep happening or would Vaan be able to win eventually? Only time could truly tell what was in store.

[Naia]

Naia watched Wolf, once it dries it will look as good as new. O she loved her Wolf, soon she'd be getting a Konig wolf. That will be way better for her! That reminds her she just bought a shirt with a konig on it. She looked at Vaan then thought what he was going to do later. What are you doing later? She asked, well it was practically dark already. Sleep would be the best. Or maybe tomorrow? She asked remembering that it's dark. She petted Wolf's huge claws gently. If it weren't for these the fight wouldn't be a draw. Good job today Wolf! She said to her Wolf. She then sat on it's claws and looked up at the paint thinking it already dried.

[Vaan]

Vaan looked at Naia when she asked him a question. "Later? I'm not doing anything" Vaan said simply. He didn't have anything to do so this was a good opportunity to sit back and relax. "Tomorrow? I got nothing planned" Vaan said. He was a bit curious as to why Naia was asking him these questions. Vaan looked at Naia as she sat down on Wolf's claws. "Has the paint dried yet" he asked curiously. It would be slightly funny if it hadn't finished drying yet.

[Naia]

Naia watched Wolf for a moment. They have a long way to go for now. She too has a long way to go now for the konig. The zoid of her dreams. She of course she won't dispose of her beloved Wolf. She'd have him in stock. Later I'm going to sleep. She said laughing at the end. Tomorrow we can go scouting for members. She said brightly as she grabbed the glasses and went to put them in the kitchen. She'd wash them and put them back. Coming back she looked at the paint. I think so. She said looking back at Vaan.
