Zoids Chronicles of the Guardian Force

Episode 1: Reencouters and a long waited challenge
It's been a while since the final battle against the Death Saurer, and a relative peace has settled on planet Zi. Without the shadow of Hills or Prözen, the Republic of Helic and the Empire of Gairos has been working to bring a mew era, in which the Zoids will not have to fight in war, but as the free beings they are. After a few encounters with some gangs of thieves, the Guardian Force, under the command of the Leutenant Van Freiheit gained control of the territory that was under Hills control when the thread of the Death Stinger was at hand.
Two years later, Van is back on Window Colony, takeing a well deserve leave from all the job on Guardian Force. At his side, as always, Feene Syneline is takeing care of him. Altough they have been living together, Van haven't proposed to her, but both know that they shared not only a sense of friendsip, but love. Also, the organoid Zeke and the Blade Liger were resting after a series of battles.
One day, two well known persons come to Van's house. One of them, with a propose.
"Van, some friends of you have come to visit", Van's sister, Maria Freiheit, was welcoming the visitors.
"Who are they, sis? At the time Van and Feene come to the door, they recognized the visitors. Both of them were Zoid Pilots, one of them dressed in black suits, and the other in a marine blue outfit. Behind them, two organoids stay still.
"Raven! Ryss!" Feene said with a surprised face.
"It's been a while, Van" Raven stated in an oddly calm attitude.
"Yeah, since the battle against the Death Saurer" Van, still surprised to see his long time rival.
"Why are you two here?
"Raven wanted to talk to Van about a deed that both have to finish" Ryss
"I see..." Feene answered, knowing what was that "deed" "In that case, let's leave them for a while, don't you think, Ryss?
"Indeed"
Raven and Van went to the outskirts of Window colony, and then, the explanations come...
"What were you doing after the battle against Hills?"
"Ryss and I decided to travel all over Zi to help the people who was still under the law of Hill's tropos and the remaining bandits. After a couple of months, we decided to surrender to the Imperial troops and attend trial for the destruction we caused when we were under Hill's and Prözen orders. Surprisingly, Colonel Schwaltz defend us saying that I was decieved by Prözen, and Ryss by Hills. After that, and with the testimony of the villagers we helped before, we were declared inocents."
"A fair veredict, since you hepled us to defeat the Death Saurer", Van remembres that the Geno Breaker's Plasma Particle Breath destroyed the Death Saurer's shield.
"Since the trial, Schwaltz reasigned us to the Imperial Army, as field leaders againsts thieves"
"Schwaltz has always admired your skills as a Zoid pilot" Van interrupted Raven for an instant. "So, as I can see, you're now an Imperial Leutenant of Gairos, and also, Ryss has been at your side"
Raven hesitated a while, and then he explained again.
"She's a magnificent pilot and partner. Her skills with the Saber Tiger are unique. Not even Schwaltz beat her in combat"
"And I suppose that she's more than a co-worker for you, isn't it? Van stated with a little malice. Surprisingly, Raven couldn't respond.
"It's the same with Feene and I", replied Van, "We know how we feel for each other, and even if we don't talk about things as marriege, the time will come eventually"
"I see..." Raven understood what the Guardian Force pilot wanted to say.
"So, about this "deed" of yours, I think now is the perfect time to fulfill it" Van's eyes started to glow.
"Let's see who's the best Zoid pilot of Zi, Van!" Raven's eyes were burning with the desire of combat.
Later, in a special ground that Van designed to sep his training with his Zoid, the Blade Liger and the Geno Breaker were ready to engage in battle. Zeke and Shadow were waiting his master's orders.
"I'll go with everything I got, Raven"
"That's my line, Van"
A moment of silence stood in the field.
"Let's go,Zeke!"
"Shadow"
As the organoids fused, the roar of the Liger and the Geno type broke the silence. At the distance, Ryss and Feene, with Ryss's Saber Tiger hear the battle.
"It has begun"
"Van..."
With all it's might, both Zoids strike at each other. No restrictions, with live ammunition. Both pilots giving his 100% to show the other that he's the best. The Blade Liger's speed against the heavy firepower of the Geno Breaker, except for the Plasma Particle Breath.
"His skill has improved! He's far superior to the pilot that helped me to defeat Hills" Van tought as the Blade Wing missed his mark.
"His refexes are impresive. The Blade Liger is much faster than the last time we fight each other!" Raven said to himself as the Breaker's Pulse Cannons couldn't hit Van's Zoid.
In an instant, the two Zoids charged against each other with their shields up. After a few seconds, they separated, both Zoids with little to zero damage. As they see each other, a simple tought crossed the mind of the Zoid pilots.
"I want to beat him!"
But before they knew it, the field was filled with audience. The villagers of Window colony heared the noise of the battle, and guieded by Ryss's Saber Tiger, they gathered in the arena, cheering for both Zoids and their pilots.
"Feels good, isn't it, Raven?"
"Yeah! Let's give them the show of their lives!"
But as the pilots started once again, multiple explosions were heared on the colony perimeter.
"What the...?" Van said, as the explosions ravaged his hometown.
