Shadowwolf: I know, I know, I'm starting another story even though I have two in progress already. It's just that I had trouble sleeping one night, and it came to me. I had to write it before I lost it.
Leena: *scanning chapter* Too bad you didn't lose it.
Shadowwolf: *clears throat* Anyways, FLAMES ACCEPTED! I don't know if I was thinking strait at the time, so it could be really dumb.
Bit: *scanning chapter* You're telling me.
Shadowwolf: I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the nice people reading this.
Bit: Sorry. *Brad walks in* Hey Brad!
Shadowwolf: No! Don't!
Bit: You should read this. *hands paper to Brad*
Brad: *scans* I die?
Shadowwolf: *disappointed* Yeah…
Brad: *scans more* Naomi…what?
Shadowwolf: Now Brad be careful, don't read any more. I don't want you to pass out again…
Brad: *scans* O_O *passes out*
Leena: Too late. *sigh*
Shadowwolf: Anyways, disclaimer. I do NOT own Zoids, the characters, or anything but the plot. Don't sue.
Leena: *walks over to Brad* Hmm. *pokes Brad, he falls over*
Shadowwolf: Well, it might be stupid, but please enjoy anyway. Go ahead, let the flaming begin!
THE DAY ZI SPUN AROUND MORE THAN ONCE CH 1,
THE SHADOW FOX MEETS ITS MATCH"The area within an 8 mile radius is a designated Zoid battlefield. Only warriors and personnel are allowed in this zone. All others must leave at once. Scanning…battlefield set up. The Blitz Team versus the Flugel Team. Battle mode 0988. Ready, fight!" The judged started the battle.
"Let's go Liger!" Bit yelled as he and the Liger Zero charged at Leon.
"Come on Blade Liger, let's do it!" Leon shouted as he and the Blade Liger charged at Bit. The two Liger types crashed together, creating a loud metal crunching sound. They landed together, a big pile of hot metal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How ya been Naomi?" Brad asked as he looked around for her.
"Just fine," Naomi said as she lined up her sights on him. A huge black cylinder plummeted from the sky. It crushed the judge and both teams stopped in their tracks.
"Not the Backdraft again," Bit whined as the Dark Judge appeared.
"This battle has been taken over by the Backdraft Group," he said, "prepare to meet your toughest opponent." A black Whale Shark blocked out the sun and opened its mouth. There was a movement inside, as a Zoid prepared to launch.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Dr.Layon laughed evilly at Dr.Toros.
"You better launch Leena," Doc sighed.
"Right!" She answered and ran towards the hangar.
"You stole my Shadow Fox, and now not only will you pay, but you'll test out my new Zoid." As he finished, there was a fox sound, like that made by the Shadow Fox, but this one was deeper. A Shadow Fox seemingly identical to Brad's landed in front of Liger. As the Whale King flew over, allowing the sun to shine, differences were noticed. This one was the same height, length, and width, but the colors were different. It had a brick red body, with black highlights (like the yellow on Brad's). Its cockpit glass was black tinted and its eyes were a bright green. Brad's Shadow Fox growled fiercely.
"This is my new Shadow Fox X. It is faster, has better defense capabilities, and it's more powerful," Dr.Layon briefly described his latest creation.
"So, you want to put it up against the original?" Brad asked in a cocky tone. "What do you think of that wanna-be, Fox?" The Shadow Fox snarled and stared into the eyes of the SFX. "My thoughts exactly," Brad said as he and the Shadow Fox moved toward the opponent.
"Wait, Brad!" Jamie warned from the Hovercargo, "This thing has many hidden features that aren't recognized by our databank. He's definitely dangerous."
"Why do you always bust in on our battles?" Leon stared up at the circling Whale King.
"I'm sick of you, you're just a larger kind of cockroaches. That's all you are. Lousy street criminals with money and support. You make me sick." Naomi said while sliding back into the main cockpit.
"Brad, we aren't going to let you take him on alone," Bit said. Leon, Leena, and Naomi all nodded.
"We're definitely with you on this one," Leon agreed.
"Alright, alright, touching," Dr.Layon interrupted, "Brad, do you accept my challenge? If you don't, your friends will become test dummies." As he finished he laughed evilly.
"I accept."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now remember, no interference from you're little friends. Once we defeat the Shadow Fox, it's Liger's turn," Dr.Layon announced the "rules".
"Battle mode 0999. The Shadow Fox X versus the idiot, I mean the Shadow Fox. Ready…fight!" The Dark Judge started the unsanctioned battle. The SFX and the Shadow Fox had a stare down.
"Who are you pilot? Show yourself!" Brad challenged.
"Fool! There is no pilot! Having one would only hold back the Shadow Fox X's power," Dr.Layon said in a cocky tone.
"So, no pilot. What do you think Fox? Should we aim for the head?" The Shadow Fox barked its approval. The SFX charged at Brad. Calmly, and quickly, Brad and the Shadow Fox jumped to the side. The SFX turned and fired its Vulcan Laser Gun. Brad and the Shadow Fox ran and dodged every "bullet". Brad charged the pilot-less Zoid.
"Strike, Laser, Claw!" He yelled as the Fox jumped into the air. Before the Fox made contact, the SFX put up its energy shield. The Fox crashed into it and fell to the ground. The SFX landed behind it and turned around. As it walked closer to Brad, he fired his Vulcan Laser Gun. The enemy jumped to the side and put its paw on the Shadow Fox's neck.
"Well, it looks like the battle is over, don't you think Brad?" Dr.Layon taunted from the safety of the Whale King.
"You don't know me very well, do you?" Brad responded as he fired the VLG at the SFX's neck. As the attack pierced its neck, it howled in "pain".
"YEAH!" Bit yelled, "One for the home team!"
As the SFX backed off, the Shadow Fox stood up and deployed a smoke screen. With the cover of the smoke, Brad ran around behind the Zoid clone.
"Strike, Laser, Claw!" He yelled as he attempted to strike the copy. As he passed the SFX, a long, sharp blade came out of its side. When it came in contact with the Fox, it caused a six foot gouge in the side of Brad's Zoid.
The Shadow Fox landed, but promptly fell over. Come on Brad, you can pull out of this! Naomi thought.
"Now it's over, Brad. You put up a good fight, but there was no way you could've won," Layon said, proud of his new Zoid. The SFX walked over to its rival. It stood over it, showing Brad the underbelly of the monstrous Zoid. He aimed the VLG at the evil creation's chest. Predicting Brad's move, the SFX quickly blew off the gun with its own.
"Good try Brad," Layon congratulated him, "now, finish him Shadow Fox X!" The Zoid re-aimed its gun at the cockpit. "No! What are you doing?! Not there!" Layon tried to stop it. Brad struggled to get out of the cockpit. The Fox X fired twice into the cockpit.
"BRAD!!!!" Naomi shouted uncontrollably.
"NO!" Bit and Leon shouted while Leena closed her eyes. Jamie and Doc froze in their seats. Could he have gotten out in time?
As the dust, from the force of the blast, cleared, a human figure could be seen.
Bit was infuriated. So was Leon. Not planning to, they both charged at the same time, from different directions. The SFX moved away from the Shadow Fox, trying to avoid Leon. As Leon missed it, Bit hit it with his Strike Laser Claw. The Fox X lay on the ground, motionless. Bit stepped on its head and crushed it, just in case. When that was over, he jumped out of the cockpit, and ran over to Leon. He was standing by Brad's body, also motionless.
"Is he alright?" Bit asked nervously. Naomi's red Gun Sniper ran up, followed by Leena's blue one.
"I don't think so," Leon said. He checked his pulse. "He must have jumped out right before or during the blast." Naomi ran over and put his head in her lap.
"Brad?" She said softly, holding back tears, "You're gonna be okay." Brad opened one eye.
"Naomi?" He said, staring into her magenta eyes for the last time. His eyes closed and he fell limp.
