DISCLAIMER: I don't own zoids, of course, and if I did, I'd be busy making
another series of it reather than wriying stories for the pleasure of those
on this site. The only things I really can possibly claim are the Thunder
Bird, and Pegasus, and those actually weren't MY ideas.. it was a group
effort of myself and some friends. Anyway, just so ya know, I don't own
Zoids, Zeeke, Van, Fiona, or anything to do with this story..
Chapter 1:
Pegasus...
High above the earth a, platoon of around ten Redlers make a long circle around the outer rim of what is still left of the Republic. You see, it is now much farther along in the time line and the world as we know it has changed. The Republic and the Empire still reign in some parts of the planet, but the majority is ran by no one. Those lands are the Zoid Grounds. Lands inhabited by wild Zoids and a few groups of brave settlers and colonists who wish to reinhabit the land or to steal from those thrying to cross the wasteland to the Republic or Empire.
The com screen in one of the Redlers comes on and a blue haired man is there, his skin is fairly tanned and the uniform he wears is standard issue for a Republic officer. He smiles, "The thorns of the rose have been sharpened." The pilot in the Redler, who is a young pilot, but still a very high ranking officer nods, "Yes commander, I shall make sure Rudolpho hears that, and make it my personal mission to ensure Rudolph and the band he is rumored to have around here doesn't." Both share the cocky little smile as both com screens close. The young man yells through to his fellow troops, "Alright, the Red horns have picked up our combat enhancment droids! Let's return to the base and tell the president the good news!" Yes, the humans here have been looking for ways to imitate the power organoids give them, and the Republic has completed theirs.

"Owe! Hey watch it punk!" A slightly older, but still young, Van sits with Zeeke. Near them, is a whole new Zoid, along with the BladeLygar. This monstrous new one stands forty eight feet tall, quite a lot considering its best trait is its speed. It has four large, bulky blue legs that are identical to the BladeLygar, only the claws are more curved and sharp, giving it the ability to climb right up a mountain. These legs are of an odd metal, the color is sky blue, but it isn't painted, that is the metal's natural appearance. It almost seems to glow. Indeed, it does radiate a cool tempature to the area around it. The main body of the beast is built more to resemble a horse, but takes on many of the Blade Ligars charcteristics. This body, also, has no paint-job, and it has the same color as the legs, and is obviously the same metal. This too radiates teh coolness. However, the wings mounted on the back are odd. They are made of sheer energy, the same energy that powers the blades on Van's Lygar and the shield of it as well. The same kind of energy used in lasers also swirls in the rainbow colored wings. these are made like that so it would seem they'd never get off the ground, but the zoid and catch the wind in them by concentrating energy into them and flapping enough to get off the ground, then the thrusters on the backs take over. The tail on the rear of the Zoid is equiped with twin lasers, mounted onto either side of the arrowhead shaped tip, The head is almost identical to the Lygar escept it has two cockpits, a small one in each eye, large enough to squeeze two people in each, but built to comfortable house one each. Either side can control it, and the only reason to have two is so if one is damaged, the other can take over. Inside the cockpits, there is a continueing panel to the right or left depending on which pit your in, that lets you see what your missing to the side, so it looks to either pilot that they are in it alone with a single cockpit. This has been named Pegasus, an experimental Zoid that the Empire had payed a band from the wasteland to steal and bring to them. Van had just recently discovered the plot and warned the Republic, which was now where he had to call his home. They made it his responsibility to retrieve it when it was stolen, if it was.................

"Hurry!" The large, round man screamed, holding a machine gun to Fiona's head. The gang was raiding the base where the Pegasus was being held. A large group had swarmed in on foot while five Shield Lygars and three Redlers kept watch outside. The people on the inside had quickly killed those armed, and taken two hostages, Fiona and Moonbay. They held them at gunpoint to make the crews who were opening the large series of doors that stood between its private, high security hangar, and the main hangar. Of course, they weren't going to leave any living people when they left, but the two hostages were going to be an exception, bargaining chips for when they tried to exit the Republic domain and the soldiers decided them to be the thieves they really were. When the rather large Zoid had been exposed, the Mechanics ran in and started unlatching its chained limbs from the ground. As soon as they announced it ready to leave the men opened fire, only two refrained from unloading their guns, the two holding the girls. Of course there was struggle from them, but that soon ended. The two husky men slammed their guns into the struggling girls' craniums several times, until both lay unconscious. They wheel in large steel cages and locked them in. The Burglars seem to have it all planned. Of course, they did. But they had planned on seven hostages, so in the other five cages they piled guns and random zoid parts. With a nod to one another they signalled their leader that they were ready, and he relinquished command of his lygar to another man, somewhat tubby as well, and got into the Pegasus. With a loud skrieking roar, it started running trough the tunnel formed by all the opened doors, and leaped from wall to wall as it went, clenching into each, and leaching large marks. Warnings that the zoid was being piloted, and pursuit would be useless. When the Zoid lept from the tunnel, into the upper area of the rather high hanger, it shot straight through the far wall, its wings unfolding and leaving clean slices through. It's primary weapons all leaving marks on the building. It was primative in combat, but unmatched in speed. It was specially made to be like that, and the commander had made it to the edge of republic ground before his men had left sight of the base. That is how Van found him. Alone. Without his men..

Van munches on a piece of watermelon, looking about Idly, laughing to himself and staring at the worthy Pilot whom he had just barely beat. Thank god for Zeeke. Hmm.. Perhaps you should know what happened. This took place earlier that night.. but the burglary happen a week before..

The prowling BladeLygar stealthily crept up on the Zoid and its pilot. For this mission, he had been given a special add-on battle system that Zeeke could use to help even more. It let Zeeke cloak the BladeLygar, but gave Van no control over the cloaking. That meant, whenever Zeeke would go to firing a weapon, he'd lose his stealthy curtain. "Glad to see you losers finally.." The Pegasus had slowly turned, expecting to see his ragged bunch of burglars trudging up the hill. Instead he saw nothing, but Pegasus itself wasn't fooled, it created a box, by itself mind you, on the zoids display that would display WHERE the blasted Lygar was at all times, and even spoke to him through the helmet he had to wear to pilot it. this Zoid ran off his thoughts. He knew exactly what had came to pass, "Van.. and the BladeLygar.. Surely that organoid Zeeke is with you too.. Rudolph told me of you when he hired me to do this.. He said that you were indeed more than a worthy opponent, and to surrender.. then he said he would pay me more if I came upon you and did run, or atleast survived.." He laughed histerically, finding the Emporers words quite amusing. Van growled, "C'mon Zeeke.. Let's show him why he should laugh at a superior pilot.. Try not to damage that zoid too bad though wouldja?" And with that, the Lygar roared violently, charging. The gun on its back uprose, and began to fire quite rapidly, another computer induced bonus. It was almost a direct, concentrated ray. Pegasus responded instantly as the man's mind focussed itself on the oncoming danger. It lept forward, landing on the Lygar's back before Zeeke even knew it had moved. Pegasus roared dominantly as its claws began to unfurl a bit more, almost digging into the thick hull of the Lygar. Zeeke quickly shot its underbelly, and Van growled violently within the cockpit, "Good shot Zeeke, but remember.. the better shape that is in the less they gripe at us!" The Lygar flipped back onto its feet as Pegasus lept into the sky, blasting up into it. The claws slid back into their metalic sheaths and the man within smiled, the Zoid reacting and givin a shriek of dominance as well. Zeeke had taken all thoughts off handling the lygar, and it was left up to Van mainly.. he was trying to formulate a plan while that stupid pilot circled about in the sky. Instantly, the Lygar was hit, the enemy had struck it in the blinking of an eye, ripped off much of the upper back, including the gun, and flew up again. Again, the shriek let loose. Van growled violently adn the Lygar screamed, Van knew Zeeke had a plan. He caused the Lygar's legs to buckle, making it seem the zoid is defested, and the pilot most likely dead. The enemy circled down slowly, and landed gracefully, a four point landing. He gently padded to the zoid and nose it, then grinning while poking it to see if it is dead. Instantly, Zeeke made the Lygar come to its feet, a blade realeasing to its side then locking in place. Van sliced off the 'eye' and grinned, the man never seeing it coming, thus Pegasus couldn't react enough on its own, undeveloped, instincts. The battle was over.. Van lept out with the length of rope he had for bringing back the leader alive, and went over to the now unconscious man, tying him up, then setting up camp. _______________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- AUTHORS NOTES-----------------------------------------------------AUTHORS NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Okay, this is my first Zoid fanfic, so sorry if it isn't the greatest.. I was mainly trying to establish an understading of where the people are and why.. I'm already working on a second chapter, and in fact, I might have it done before the night is out.. that means you can wait and read and review both of the chapters at the same time, or you can go ahead and do this.. doesn't matter to me.. but remember, the more support I get, the more inspired I am, and sometimes that can lead to some MUCH better reading.. of course, this wasn't good at all.. but it was meant to be informational.. not all that much entertainment. Now member ya'll, this was strictly that, information, and this wasn't even CLOSE to the R rating I'm putting this under.. it is the next chapter that I KNOW needs the R rating, and if you all are good and review lots, then I will setcha up with some more nasty and violent stuff.. But anyways.. JA NE! (c'ya)
