You know, I've been doing quite a bit of looking around and I found that there were no crossovers between Ben 10 and Zoids. So I figured, why not write one myself? And thus, Ben 10 New Century Zero was born! I hope you all enjoy the first chapter of this story, because I feel it's gonna be amazing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10, or Zoids!

Incident on the Battlefield!
In the middle of a desert we find a truck that looks to be full of machine parts, we find someone asleep in there. It was a man that looked to be about sixteen years old. He had brown hair that was slicked back while being slightly tousled in the front, tanned skin, and if he was awake we'd see that his eyes are green. He wears a white tee shirt with a black stripe down the middle and black trim on the ends of the sleeves, green cargo pants, and brown combat boots. He also wears a belt with pouches on it.
This man is Ben Tennyson, a former resident of a far northern town called Bellwood. Bow, you all may be wondering why I said former resident. Well, that is a story for Ben to tell. One that will have to wait until another day. But for now, let's focus on what is happening here and now, shall we?
Ben was jostled awake by the feeling of something impacting the Earth. He bolted upright in the driver's seat of his truck thinking that it was an earthquake, until he saw something rise up out of the ground.
"A Judge capsule? That must mean a Zoid Battle is about to start." Ben said to himself.
The capsule opened up to reveal the Judge inside. It began to scan the area as it made its announcement of a Zoid Battle.
"The area within a thirty mile radius is a designated Zoid Battlefield! This zone is now restricted! Only competitors and personnel are allowed to enter! Danger! All others must leave the area at once!"
Ben looked to his right to see three colossal mechanical animals walking into the battlefield. They looked like sabertooth cats that were covered in yellow armor, tons of weaponry, and green eyes. Ben immediately recognized exactly what kind of Zoids these were.
"Saber Tigers." Ben said in awe.
He then looked to the other side to see three entirely different Zoids on the other team. One of them was a giant green and grey Texas longhorn. It was heavily armored, and had a widespread cannon on its back along with a pair of wicked sharp horns on its head.
Next was a Zoid that could only be described as a giant, armored wolf with an orange visor where its eyes should be. It was covered in dark blue armor plating, a mouth full of razor sharp teeth that were perfect for ripping out chunks of armor, and had a long range cannon mounted on its back.
The third Zoid was truly a sight for sore eyes. It looked like a huge lion that had blue armor plating on its face, mane, shoulders, hind legs, and back. On its belly was a powerful triple barrel Shock Cannon, and its mane looked like it was designed to fan out for some reason. It also had a set of long saber fangs in its mouth, and like the wolf Zoid it had an orange visor where its eyes should be. Ben also recognized these Zoids fairly easily.
"And on the other team we have a Dibison, a Command Wolf, and a Shield Liger." Ben said to himself.
His eyes narrowed. Just his luck that he ended up unwittingly picking a Zoid Battlefield to take a nap in. He activated the cloaking shield built into his truck, turning the vehicle invisible. He figured that since he was already there, he might as well watch the battle from a safe distance. The Judge began to sound off the start of the battle just as Ben finished with the cloaking of his truck.
"Area scanned… Battlefield set up! The Blitz Team vs. The Tigers Team! Battle Mode 0982! Ready…" The Judge raised and crossed his arms in front of him as a gong sounded. "FIGHT!"
The Shield Liger roared in challenge as who Ben assumed to be the Blitz Team charged in to fight the Tigers Team. The three Zoids split off from each other to try and pick the Saber Tigers off one at a time, but the Tigers Team was having none of that.
They used a strategy of their own that worked well many times in wars past… Divide and conquer. They first took out the Dibison, knowing that its heavy firepower would make the battle difficult for them. Then they went after the Command Wolf, shelling it with a hellish barrage of gunfire! But they didn't get very far after that. Using a combination of the Shock Cannon mounted on its belly and a retractable Double Barrel Cannon on its back, the Shield Liger pilot managed to shoot one Saber Tiger's foot out from under it and freeze its computer system.
That didn't sit well with the other two Saber Tiger pilots. The remaining Sabers charged at the Shield Liger to try and take it out quickly and efficiently. But the pilot of the Shield Liger was a crafty pilot. They fanned out the Liger's mane and activated the E-Shield that the Shield Liger is famous for, causing the two Sabers to crash into it and fall flat on their sides.
The Shield Liger managed to get some distance, but the remaining members of the Tigers Team were hot on the Liger's tail. That's where it all went bad for both the pilot of the Shield Liger and Ben. After the Shield Liger Pilot deactivated his E-Shield to conserve energy, his Zoid tripped over Ben's truck! It ended up landing on its side and with hit with a huge amount of missile fire! But how did this affect Ben? It affected him by Ben's truck being hit by a stray shot… WITH BEN STILL IN IT!
"THE BATTLE IS CANCELLED! THE BATTLE IS CANCELLED! CIVILIAN ON THE BATTLEFIELD! CIVILIAN ON THE BATTLEFIELD!"
All three members of the Blitz Team got out of their Zoids and rushed to where the remains of the truck were! They had to make sure that the driver was okay. The pilots consisted of two boys, and one girl. The first boy looked to be about seventeen years old, wears a sleeveless blue outfit with a torn up collar. He wore brown gloves, black pants, and long black boots with his outfit. He also has gold bands tattooed around his biceps. He has long, spiky brown hair, tan skin, and blue eyes.
The girl looked to be about Ben's age. She has porcelain skin, shoulder length messy fuschia hair that was parted with some above her right eye, and lavender-purple eyes. She had an hourglass figure that many girls her age would kill for, and her outfit was mostly pink with some purple and green details here and there. She was also wearing aqua colored gloves and boots. On her head was a strange object that appears to hang two long protrusions down from her head in midair.
The last pilot was a man that looked to be the oldest of the group. He was currently wearing a blue jacket over a green shirt with dark pants. He had tan skin, spiky brown hair in a crescent shaped style, and lavender-purple eyes. Miraculously, he was unharmed from the fall and the barrage of weapon fire from the Tigers Team!
These three are Brad Hunter, Leena Toros, and Leon Toros. They are members of the Blitz Team, but right now they had to make sure whoever was in that truck was still breathing!
"Hurry, get that truck open! We gotta make sure whoever is in there is alive!" Leon ordered.
"Right!" Brad and Leena replied.
Brad yanked open the car door, and had Leena help him haul Ben out of the now useless hunk of metal. They saw all of the Zoid Parts scattered about that were probably the cargo of the truck, but paid them no mind. Well, all except the Dibison cooling unit. And as for Ben? Well, he was in pretty bad shape.
He had a huge X-shaped gash in his chest, possibly several fractured ribs, and a cut across his left eye. He was battered and bruised, unconscious, and losing blood fast!
"Oh no, he's gonna bleed out at this rate!" Leena said in worry with a few tears in her eyes.
"We have to get him to the Hover Cargo, now!" Brad said.
The others nodded in agreement. Very carefully, Leon helped Brad pick up Ben and started to quickly move him to their transport. Leena was running alongside them while using some spare cloth she had to apply pressure to the wound on his chest. They didn't realize it just then, but this boy would soon be the saving grace of the Blitz Team and a valued friend of theirs.
A few hours later, Ben was in the med bay of the Hover Cargo sleeping peacefully after having received treatment for his more serious wounds. But the rest of the Blitz Team was gathered in the living room going over the plans for a rematch with the Tigers Team.
"We sure are lucky that the Zoid Battle Commision agreed to reschedule our match with the Tigers Team." Doctor Toros said.
"But even though they did, we can't go into battle with only two Zoids! And our hands are full with repairs to the Command Wolf and the Dibison." the fourth team member, a boy named Jamie, informed. "We're just lucky you came across that Dibison Cooling-Unit when you did! It's really helped speed along the repairs."
Doctor Steve Toros looked like he was contemplating something. Something that might help them with their match tomorrow.
"There's that Liger Zero…" Doc suggested.
"Forget it, dad. That Liger won't let anyone pilot it." Leena said.
"Not to mention it doesn't have any weapons that we know of." Brad added.
"Then I'll go in the Pteras." Leon said.
"That's a no-go, Leon! You have to stay here with dad to make sure that civilian from before heals." Leena reminded.
They looked to the security footage in the med bay to see the stranger groaning as he opened his eyes. The team got up, and moved to the medical bay to make sure that whoever that guy was would be okay.
Well, that's all I've got for now. But trust me when I say that next chapter will be better! And this is going to be the last story I post for at least another thirty days! Now, I plan to update this story a few more times before updating anything else, so bare with me for awhile, okay? But I need your help. Do you think I should use the Liger Zero's original three CAS Units, or should I make up my own? Let me know which you would prefer! REVIEW PLEASE! Flamers will be obliterated by the Deathsaur's Charged Particle Cannon!
