Authors Note: 2 Things. #1. this is my first Zoids fic so take it easy on me. 2nd, I never got to watch the last few shows for the Guardian Force series so I kinda changed it a bit for those of you who have seen it all.

One more thing, this chapter is just like what you would read on the back of a book or movie, sorta like a intro. R/R if you want.

Chapter 1: The Black Era

3,000 Years Ago…….

A time when there was no chaos, a time when death was not caused by murder, and a time when Zoids weren't used as tools of war. A time when the Zodian civilization dominated the land of Zi. But there was something happening on Zi that wasn't known to well. Peace. But in order to have peace, you must have war. Many people began leaving the peaceful Zodians and began creating several factions. Soon war broke out and the peaceful Zodians began to kill. Many factions were destroyed shortly after creation, but a few lived on. As the war continued, months turned into years, and years turned into decades. The chaos of death formed some of the most evil of men. And the chaos continued. Soon it was clear the war would not end using brute force. 3 men however, dared to defy the laws of life. They wanted to create 3 unbeatable Zoids. Soon each man began to create there own Zoid which would save a planet from war. However, the evil of power and creed overcame the 3 men and began to make the 3 Zoids as evil as them. 25 years after the began to create Zoids to help end the war, they began to make the Zoids to destroy the life on the planet. The Tiger, The Dragon, and The Falcon where then born. 3 Zoids made of an unspeakable evil. Soon the Zodians and other factions began working together to stop the 3 mad Zoids and there heart-less makers. Finally, after countless lives were lost, the creators of the 3 Zoids died. The Zodians created 3 amulets, in those amulets were the life of the 3 Zoids themselves. The Zoids where hidden and the Amulets spread around the planet. Hoping the day would never come when a Era of Darkness, a Black Era, be formed from the 3 unbeatable Zoids coming back to life. Time is the deadliest warrior of all, and Time would have its way. Several Zodians where put in Suspended Animations along with several Organoids to help the day when Hell would rise and a planet would die. In the end only 1 Zodian would survive, and only a handful of Organoids would still exist. Hopefully just enough to prevent the Black Era.

Present Day…….

Myths turn to legends, legends turn to stories, stories turn to a desperate attempt to make them true. A Century of Chaos was over, and peace between the Empire and Republic would truly happen thanks to a few brave and honorable people. The Guardian Force would always remain and Van would be there new commander. With stories turning up about 3 lost Zoids, people begin spending all the money and all there life to find the 1 thing of truth, to find the thing that will make there dreams come true. Olny 2 men however, know the truth about the 3 Unbeatable Zoids. One is a force for good, a man seeking to destroy the Amulets and Zoids before there hellish power became alive again. The other, a man who has one goal, one objective, and one plan. A man whos evil is undefinable using comparsions. These 2 men will stop at nothing to complete there goals. To either prevent or bring about the death of millions, the falling of a planet, and a truly Black Era.
