ZOIDS: PRELUDE TO DESTINY
"Simon"
The polar region was cold and chilly. At least, to those who weren't properly dressed to be warm. It was around nightfall when chaos arose. From a distance ran a blue figure. Blast and explosions followed it as it ran. As it came closer, it became clear of what it was. A giant blue mech of an animal that looked to be a cross between a Lion and Tiger. This Mech was known as a Shield Liger. These mechs are known as Zoids. It dashed very clumsy. Obviously, the pilot wasn't too good at piloting it. Behind him, three black wolf-like Zoids known as Command Wolves were following close behind. With huge guns on their backs, they began firing at the Shield Liger.
"Geez!" said the Zoid Warrior of the Shield Liger. "Next time, why don't they put up a sign that says 'Stay out or we'll blast you!?'" The Command Wolves split up. The leader spoke to the other two.
"There's a icy area up ahead with some ruins under it. When the Shield Liger runs on it, blast the ground! He'll fall in!" The Shield Liger kept running.
"Crap, they're gaining! I wish I knew how to use this thing's weapons, let alone pilot it better!" The Shield Liger was approaching the thin ice near the polar ruins. He was walking right into a trap. "That's the last time I buy a Zoid off a junk dealer!" The Shield Liger ran right on the ice.
"FIRE!" The black Command Wolves stopped in their tracks and all three fired their guns. It hit the ground and the ground crumbled underneath the Shield Liger.
"Oh no! AHHHHHH!!!" The Shield Liger fell to its doom down the dark, deep hole. A roar was the last thing they heard before a giant rumble of impact.
"You can't outrun General Kyto." General Kyto was a tall adult with long gray hair and hazel eyes. He wore a black uniform.
"General, now what?" asked the pilot of another Command Wolf.
"We have to be sure he's dead. For all we know, he's a spy for the Republic! We camp here overnight. If he doesn't show his face, I'll send some troops to recover that Liger. If he is alive, I highly doubt he's going anywhere."
The young pilot opened his eyes. He looked up and saw his situation. The Shield Liger wasn't running and was on its side. He was stuck in a deep ruin/cave. He stepped out from his Zoid as the Shield Liger's orange hatch opened up. Out stepped a young male, around 15 or 16. His hair was brown and messy and his eyes where a bright blue. He was wearing a dark gray vest and dark green pants. Under the grey vest was a blue sweatshirt. "Brrrrr," he told himself. "It's f-f-f-freezing!" He looked at his Liger. Sparks flew from different pieces. The Shield Liger had burn marks and rust, but that was before he was shot up. The small gun-cannon on top failed to work and the Shield didn't work at all. "Piece of junk! If you weren't a rare Zoid, I'd have never had bought you." He walked more into the ruins. He brought with a small flashlight. Small, but bright. He moved it around. Nothing but icy caverns. No sign of anything wood. No wood equals no fire. No fire equals one cold night. "This sucks."
On his way back to his Shield Liger, he tripped over a chunk of ice. With a "Oof!" he fell flat on his face. His face pressed against the cold, loose snow. He lifted his head out of it. "Damn, that is COLD!" He blew the snow away, revealing the icy ground. But that's not all it revealed. "Ahh!" He shot up while looking into the clear ice. Under it was a pair of black eyes and what looked like a blue dinosaur head. Curious, he brushed away the rest of the snow. Two short arms were revealed. Then large feet. Then a long tail. It looked like a small blue T-rex. But...it was robotic? "What kind of Zoid is this?" Wanting to get it out, he began to smack the ice with the bottom of his flashlight. The first hit did nothing, but the ones after began to crack the ice.
It wasn't too many hits until he felt a vibration. The T-Rex Zoid thing began to move. The ice began to crack and the kid dashed out of the way. Seconds later, the beast burst out of the ice. It was about the boy's size, but a little bigger. Big enough for him to at least ride on. The blue creature began to shake the remaining ice off him. Then it tilted it's head back and let out a rusty, screechy roar. "Holy crap. An...Organoid???" His voice caught the Organoid's attention. The kid froze. The Organoid began walking towards him. He froze as the creature approached. Was it gonna eat him? It placed its head inches from his face. It began sniffing him. Maybe it was gonna eat him. Then it let out a happy growl. Almost like a cat purr. It ment no harm. It like him. He put his hand out and began to pet his metal plated head. The boy smiled. "Hi. I'm Jake. Do you have a name?" He let out a low growl. "Must not." Jake began to think of a name. "You know who you remind me of? My cat, Simon. He was so affectionate when we met. Just like you. So I'm gonna name you Simon." The Organoid let out a happy growl. "Simon it is."
An hour later, Jake was still sitting in the cockpit, trying to start the Shield Liger back up. "I can't believe this! Still not working!" Simon walked over to examine it. "Don't bother, Simon. It's a piece of junk." Simon still took a look around. "I was so stupid. Shield Liger's are rare, so I jumped at the chance to buy it! But it was in crudey condition. The small guns on top don't work and the Shield doesn't either. I thought I'd take it out for a ride. Next I know, I got three Command Wolves trying to kill me." A cold rush of wind came at Jake. "Brrrr. Geez, why won't this work?" A light blue glow caught Jake's attention. "Huh?" He looked over. Simon was glowing that color. Jake hopped out of his Zoid. "Simon, what's wrong?" Suddenly, Simon took off into the air at a tremendous speed. He came crashing back down as a large, blue light. It hit the Shield Liger. Simon disappeared. At that moment, the Shield Liger began glowing light blue as well. Jake took a few steps back. The dents, burn marks, rust, scratches. Everything that made the Shield Liger look crummy vanished. It now looked new and mint. Just the way it should have been. "WOW!" But then a thought occurred. Simon did this...but where is he? "Simon! Simon!" Suddenly, the Shield Liger stood up on its own. It looked down at Jake. "Simon?" The Shield Liger let out a small roar. "Wow! So it is true. Organoids can meld with a Zoid." The hatch opened on the Liger's head as it lowered it to the ground. "Get in? You bet!" Jake hopped inside the cockpit. "Wow! Everything is fixed. No cracks in the computer screen. No broken Joysticks. And I may be a crummy pilot, but you'll help me out. Won't you, Simon?" The hatch closed. Simon activated the heating vents. "Ahh! Yeah, that's just what I needed!" The Shield Liger may its move. It jumped at the cavern's sidewall, bouncing off and hitting the other. It did this repeatedly as it climbed up.
"General Kyto," said one of the Command Wolf pilots. "Sir, we've been here for hours now. There is no way a pilot with his inexperience can get back up. I bet he can't even get his Zoid running!" As his bickering ended, the Shield Liger popped out of the hole.
"You were saying?" asked General Kyto. Then he thought to himself. "Is that the same Liger? It's all fixed up. And how the hell did he repair it and get enough experience to climb back up here?"
"Very cool, Simon," said Jake. Just then there was a blast next to the Shield Liger. The middle Command Wolf, Kyto's, fired at him. "Those guys again?" Jake grinned. "Ready for some action, Simon?" Shield Liger let out a roar of anger and excitement. "My thoughts exactly! Let's show these guys what a Shield Liger is capable of!" Jake's Liger began rushing at the Command Wolves.
"Suicidal, huh? Fire!" All three fired their heavy guns. The Liger activated its now working shield. A dome shaped wall covered the front and sides of the Shield Liger. Not a single shot pierced through. The Shield Liger dashed faster. Kyto moved and the other two Command Wolves plowed through by the incredible shield the Liger produced. The fell on their sides. Their Zoids officially out of commission. Kyto stood standing. "I don't know how you're doing this kid, but it ends here!"
"I don't think so! Let's get him, Simon!" The Liger let his shield down and began rushing at the lone Command Wolf.
"Fool! Only a careless person leaves his defense down, or someone very stupid." The Command Wolf began blasting again. His first shot was aiming dead for the Liger. But the Liger quickly strafed right and the shot missed. "Huh? No way it can be that fast!" Another shot, but the Liger repeated the strafing move in the opposite direction, to the left. "I'm seeing things! How can he be so fast?" He kept firing in panic and it kept dodging the shots. Finally, the Liger leaped into the air and swiped its mighty claw. It landed, facing away from the black Command Wolf. It aimed its guns at the Liger as it turned around. "Heh heh. You missed. And now you have your back turned. You're defenseless. I bet you're feeling really stupid right about now." Kyto pulled the trigger. What's this? No shot? He pulled it again and again. Suddenly, he heard a huge thump next to his Zoid. He looked in horror as his weapon lie next to him, hacked off. He didn't miss after all. Jake's Liger turned around, aiming its gun at the Command Wolf.
"Who's feeling stupid now?" With those words said, Jake blasted the Command Wolf until it fell to the ground and could not stand. Right after words, the Shield Liger turned around and ran away into the horizon.
"That's no ordinary Zoid!"
Jake and Simon sat atop a mountain around a warm fire. Jake took half of his sandwich he was saving and gave it to his new partner and friend. "That was incredible, Simon!" he said. "We totally blew him and the other guys away. I thought I sucked, but you guided me the whole way!" Simon looked as if he was smiling. "I never really had any friends as a boy, Simon. But I know that you and me will be buds forever. Right?" Simon growled and nodded. "Awesome. Finish up. We've got a long trip out of the polar region ahead of us." Jake stood up and yelled off the mountain top, Simon standing right behind him. "Watch out, Guylos Empire! The ultimate team has arisen! Jake Takawa and Simon!"
