The judge capsule was already in place, and the Blitz team was waiting, simply waiting for their opponent to arrive. Bit twitched in his seat, glancing at his radar screen nervously. According to the rumors, the Void team had a habit of showing up late, but it was an almost guaranteed chance that they would win when they did. Reaching forward, the liger pilot tapped a few keys, widening the search area of the radar screen.
"How much longer!?" He muttered, tapping the controls with impatient fingers. Even Liger 0 Yager was getting antsy, shifting from one foot to the other in its agitation. The Ultimate X's armor glimmered in the harsh desert sun, having been freshly polished from the last battle, but that didn't assist moods.
Eventually, their radar screens showed a large unknown blip coming their way, but oddly enough, only one. It caused both of the group members to take a second look.
"What is this? A loner?" Leena inquired dryly, punching up the com-link to the unknown zoid. In place of the customary picture, only electric green text appeared on the screen, on a darker green background, like the computers of Old Earth.
'No politics before the election. Now just be patient.'
"What kind of pilot are we dealing with? He talks in riddles!" Leena's Gunsniper twitched from it's pilot being so fidgety. Bit shook his head. Only Leena and Bit had been sent out, the logic being that two fully armed zoids could easily take one down. Besides, what's the point of wasting fuel in all 4 machines when two could do the same job?
A good five minutes later, the rumbling of massive footsteps could be heard, and the Void team appeared on the battlefield…well, what could be a team if there was more then one. Leena burst out laughing at the sight of their newest opponent, kept in her seat only by her harness. This wouldn't be a fight! It would be a giggling session! A massacre!
"ONE?! THAT'S IT?! ONE ZOID FOR A TEAM?!! PAH! AND THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WAS AFRAID OF?!"
The liger standing before them seemed to be compiled of every sort of zoid created before it. The only thing recognizably liger-like was the head, and even that seemed stretching the definition. It was shaped like the liger 0 head, but a sort of dirty yellow. The rest though, that seemed salvaged. The leg was from a black Command Wolf, the left back leg taken from a Rev Raptor, the tail from an Ultrasaurus, the front two legs and the back right from a Lightning Saix, so on and so forth. It seemed well armed, the leg and joint armor black with down-curving steel blades. A pair of fangs, even bigger then that of a Saber fang and a poisonous green, stuck out from it's upper jaw, the blue shaded eyes glittering from something other then the sunlight.
However odd it seemed, Bit admired the pilot, whoever it was, for building the thing from scratch, like he had wanted to do in the beginning.
"So you finally got here?" Leena sneered, wanting to spit at the sight of this seemingly ungainly zoid, her tale tell arrogance increased by her impatience. More text appeared on her screen, still maintaining that strange green color that left afterimages on the back of her eyes.
'Remember this, my soon-to-be-trashed opponent. Don't judge a book by its cover.'
The two zoids stared nonchalantly at each other while the judge said all of its customary announcements, unknowing (well, mostly) of the argument overhead. It raised its arms, as was it's programming, glanced at them both.
"I want a good clean match!" The machine paused, glaring at the misshapen zoid. It recoiled and smiled innocuously, putting on an expression of mock innocence and gentle questioning. "And that goes for you too, Audreniliger." He muttered sternly.
"Ready…FIGHT!"
Leena grinned evilly as she watched the misshapen liger lurch forward a step, as though in challenge and nothing more. This is going to be easy. A rummage-heap zoid versus two perfectly built machines of sleek and top-of-the-line design.
Nothing was going to go wrong here.
"Those rumors that the Fugal team told us were probably just to psyche us out!" Her fingers forced the thrusters forward, her smirk still plastered onto her face. Her confidence was rising, as was her ego. That odd Liger simply stood there, waiting, its tail swishing back and forth warily as both of her opponents split the air with their speed.
Both Leena and Bit kept pushing their zoids faster, the joints of the two machines straining to obey their pilot's wills without snapping. The odd liger simply waited, watching the two with intelligent blue eyes, baring one long fang in a wicked taunt. Grinning, Leena com-linked to Bit, her own smile starting to resemble that of the opposing zoid's.
"Let me handle this. It seems that our friend's zoid has frozen up on them!"
"Fine, but leave me some of the scrap too! I want at least SOMETHING to blow up!"
Bit rolled his eyes, dropping back just the same. Fine. Let her have all the glory. Though, it wasn't much glory in taking out a lesser opponent.
Leena smirked, then looked back to where that odd looking liger was. She had no qualms about targeting and defeating a inferior enemy, and she found nothing wrong with the idea of tearing this one to pieces either! Glancing around, she slowed her Gunsniper to a crawl, looking around in confusion and annoyance.
That thrown together, randomly pieced, badly built zoid was gone!
Bit's heart dropped, seeing a yellow and black blur just behind Leena's Gunsniper, then another, and another.
Perhaps he could-
Yager switched on his turbo boosters on his own, bellowing and blasting towards the now slightly solid yellow form. Cursing his sudden lapse in concentration and Yager's eagerness, he struggled to regain control, and failed miserably. Leena, seeing the red 'Proximity Alert!' letters appear on her screen, turned to see a glimpse of something yellow and the blue blur that was Liger 0 zipping towards her.
"BIT! STOP!!!!" She screamed, throwing up her hands out of instinct a split second before Yager skidded and crashed right into Leena's unprepared Gunsniper, sending them both bouncing across the desert flats. The odd liger stopped, watching the tangled mass of zoid parts skid to a stop on the arid battlefield to become a sparking heap. And, to add to this strange scene, the liger itself gave a small laugh, blue eyes glinting evilly. The both of them, pilot and machine, enjoyed a good core-fest.
"Well done Audreniliger." A feminine voice inside the misshapen liger chuckled coldly, satisfied at her work. "Now let's finish them off. They're too cocky for their own good."
The yellow head gave a nod, picking it's paw up to start walking, but it's pilot held it fast.
"Not yet. We are not cheaters, therefore, we do not attack then the enemy is down." Giving a discontented grumble, sitting down while it's internal gears began to whir. A side pocket seemed to explode, showering the ground with a hail of French fries, a good mound about ten feet high. That same side pocket closed up again with a small 'Snick!', the left paw reaching downward and delicately picking up a fry (each easily as large as a human arm). The pilot rolled her eyes, leaning back while her liger continued to eat.
"Those oils are going to make you break out again, you know."
The liger itself gave an exasperated sigh, grabbing one of the larger fries and throwing it at the cockpit window. Potato splattered with a wet thump all over the glass, the woman inside rolling her eyes again.
"Fine, be that way."
Leena and Bit untangled themselves, the Gunsniper missing a few missile silos and the Yager's side sparking, one of it's boosters completely torn off and lying somewhere in the dirt.
"Ow." Leena muttered, pulling her zoid up with some effort, the gun sniper being quite a bit more sluggish then when this battle started. She swung around towards Bit, voice sickly sweet and her smile promising murder.
This could cause trouble.
"Bit?"
"Yes Leena?" Bit gulped, knowing what was coming and braced for the impact.
"WHY DID YOU CRASH INTO ME?!?!?"
Bit started to say something in his defense, but was cut off again by Leena and her wildly short attention span.
"Never mind, I'll deal with you later! I need revenge for my poor Weasel Assault!" She pulled herself around to face the Audreniliger, who was still grinning at them, a couple of fries sticking out of it's mouth in a strangely comical fry-filled smile.
"Can zoids actually eat like that!?"
Tauros blinked, still rather pleased with the enemy's performance. He had never seen a zoid move that fast, not even the Yager when at full speed, and coming from a zoid such as this. And another surprise, the machine was smiling. And eating no less! He snapped back into reality, and shook his head, trying to keep a straight face. Perhaps he could get some tips from the designer and builders of this zoid…
"No, zoids don't normally snack while their enemy is down…perhaps it's the newest craze!" He tried not to laugh, knowing how stupid he sounded. No matter. They might make a toy of this!
Leena glared at this odd liger, fuming over her latest downfall. Bit glanced up at the intercom, giving his cockiest smile.
"I get it. Liger versus Liger, it won't stand a chance!" He paused, however, glancing down at the controls. "You ready to go, boy?"
Yager seemed a little more cautious this time, but growled anyway, dashing at the highest speed he could manage without the lost speed booster.
The opposing liger watched him approach, spitting out the fries in it's mouth before turning to face the new threat.
"…so he wants a one-on-one fight?" Again, the pilot chuckled, the sound one to raise the hairs on the back of the neck. "Dimwit. It's his fault if he wants to salvage his own zoid."
'He might not be much of a thinker upstairs Audrena.' The woman snorted, reading the text with a sarcastic smile.
"Oh wow, what an incredible statement." She sat back, watching the Yager hurtle towards her with an expression close to boredom. "I think the both of them have a loose gear somewhere."
'…Well, I think Yager's kinda cute.'
To be blunt, that gave Audrena a shock. She sweat dropped in three different places, glaring at the console.
"I knew I shouldn't have tweaked with your emotional servers." She tapped the com-window, glaring playfully at it.
"Just so long as you don't start hitting on the Saber Fangs again. That almost got us blown to pieces."
"I'll leave it in your paws buddy." Bit murmured to his zoid, attempting to grin his way out of his anxiety. Internally, he was beginning to get a little nervous. This liger moved faster then he did at full-jetted speed, without the assistance of turbo boosters or any of that speed-assisting equipment. Perhaps it wasn't visible. That led to further questions.
What else had they hidden in there?
However, he trusted his liger. Yager could do it; he could beat this self-assembled liger down, like he did against all those other teams that they had taken on…
Yager's claws began to shine, taking a running leap at the waiting Audreniliger, looking absolutely murderous. She watched him patiently Waiting until the last possible second, the misshapen zoid darted to the side, watching the Yager hit the ground with a bone-clattering clang, then leaping onto the downed Yager's back, tearing into the machinery and armor with fangs aglow and claws flashing in the sunlight.
Roaring in pain, Yager rolled, forcing Audreniliger to jump off. The now badly slashed and bitten liger stopped rolling in a very bad position, his undersides exposed and throat open to attack. Bit realized his mistake of letting Liger 0 take charge of the battling, but it was too late. The oddly built liger, so ungainly in the beginning of the fight, had turned into what the rumors had told of this pair. A practically living machine, capable of a strength and speed unnatural for a zoid, with a thirst for core fluid and a taste for the battlefield, accompanied by a seemingly faceless pilot with a surreal skill and a merciless, unforgiving style.
"Ah shit…"
Audreniliger, growling viciously and fangs glowing a bright green, rushed in and crunched into the Yager's unprotected neck. The over-long canines were sent deep into its opponent's neck, going through armor, wires, and gears like a hot knife through butter. The pilot, her blackish-brown eyes narrowed and cold, elbow length golden-brown hair askew, gritted her teeth, said two words, her voice easily as cold as her eyes.
"Gamma fang." The glow suddenly wavered, then brightened visibly. EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) was injected directly into Yager's neck, sending the victimized liger into a zoid's version of a seizure. The controls inside the cockpit grew hot in Bit's hands, the whole surroundings sparking with mega volts of electricity zapping in every which direction. Bit couldn't believe it. He didn't even really react when the blue message Command System Freeze flashed on the screen, he was still stunned at how quickly the attack had come and gone. He was still motionless and unblinking when the Audreniliger leaped back, throwing on a shield and surveying the damage. Still smirking, it backed away, leaving the now frozen and sparking zoid, setting it's sights on the mangled Gunsniper, the evil glint replaced by a hungry flash.
Apparently, the fries weren't very filling.
"Oh components, MERCY!" The opposing pilot had put the long-range shrapnel cannons into play. She aimed carefully, again at the zoids neck. Leena panicked, firing everything she had at the misshapen liger with a shout of desperation and fury. Tapping a few keys, the Audreniliger shields were thrown up, the attacks dissipating harmlessly on the defensive energy shield. The barrage ended quickly, the Gunsniper having run out of ammo. Again, text appeared on the screen, along with a small symbol of skull and crossbones underneath the small message.
'Not so cocky now, are we? I warned you not to judge me on appearance alone, and now you'll learn the hard way. Have a nice day, bitch.'
Leena shuddered. "They're crazy! Completely nuts!" She turned her Gunsniper right around, pushing it to its already strained limits as it dashed back towards the hovercraft. Bit had left the Yager's cockpit to watch the rest of the battle, still shocked. He had to meet this pilot, whomever it was. It was a priority.
Bringing the shields down, the pilot inside Audreniliger smirked, again saying only two words. She put her feet up leisurely onto the command board, trying not to smile.
"Your turn!"
Her zoid giggled rather manically, firing the shrapnel cannons with the sound of a sonic boom. Pieces of shredded metal, diamond sharp discus's, and old rusted armor pieces were flung out of the cannon holes, flying at a bullet's speed toward the retreating Gunsniper. Leena didn't get very far in her retreat, as the head was severed from the Gunsniper's body with the sound of ripping and tearing metal. She screamed, being thrown around the cockpit when the head skidded to a stop on the desert ground. Bit's eyes widened at this brutal tactic, Leena throwing open the door of her cockpit in a fuming rage.
"ALRIGHT YOU COWARD! SHOW YOURSELF! YOUR GONNA GET IT FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY GUNSNIPER!" Audreniliger, who was starting to plod away, stopped dead in its tracts, the pilot inside having heard that very clearly, one of her eyes twitching.
Bit stared at his teammate in disbelief over what she was doing, shaking his head at her slight stupidity. This person was obviously not comfortably sane here…. "Careful Leena."
After a moment, the liger bent down, the cockpit door opening and a figure leaping out, landing lightly on the cracked and now pitted field. Leena jogged over to the stock still human, about to shout something, but the pilot's turned head forced the coming curse word to freeze and suffocate in Leena's mouth. Bit tried not to giggle. Finally! Someone with a bigger temper then Leena! He paused, squinting at the figure, a delighted and very sneaky grin coming to his face after his moment of study.
Not only a bigger temper, but a better ass too!
The female pilot glared at Leena with a hatred that ran too deep to be caused by one person, her seemingly endless black eyes cold yet molten with a deep-rooted loathing for all of mankind. Especially Leena.
The Gunsniper pilot blinked, resisting the urge to step back. That voice was so incredibly cold…
"A coward?" The sentence was curt and short, but it was the tone of warning behind it that raised hairs on everyone's neck. Bit grabbed a left over French fry, holding it like one would a French baguette, munching on it quietly. He didn't want to be a part of what he knew was coming.
"At least I'm not the one who left a comrad behind on the battlefield." The waist length and free flowing honey colored hair only accented the mood, contrasting harshly with the black clothing. Leena tried to come up with a witty comeback, but her brain seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, not quite working…
The misshapen zoid turned its head on it's own, muttering to itself and nudging the black clothed pilot, almost bowling her over.
"Audrena….let's just go."
Rather ticked that she had missed out on such an opportunity to chew someone a new anus, Audrena hauled herself into the open cockpit, glaring one last time at the both of them and sticking her tongue out at Leena as they bounded off.
After a few miles, the both of them stopped, freezing in their place and smacking their foreheads.
"SHIT! THE PRIZE MONEY!"

Muahahaha! Next chapter is coming up! And review your brains out for this one! More characters are coming, including a very odd twist. More comedy! More action! More things that will make you say 'Dude!' ….ok, maybe not the last one, but who cares! See you then, with 'Audrena Meets her Match'.
"How much longer!?" He muttered, tapping the controls with impatient fingers. Even Liger 0 Yager was getting antsy, shifting from one foot to the other in its agitation. The Ultimate X's armor glimmered in the harsh desert sun, having been freshly polished from the last battle, but that didn't assist moods.
Eventually, their radar screens showed a large unknown blip coming their way, but oddly enough, only one. It caused both of the group members to take a second look.
"What is this? A loner?" Leena inquired dryly, punching up the com-link to the unknown zoid. In place of the customary picture, only electric green text appeared on the screen, on a darker green background, like the computers of Old Earth.
'No politics before the election. Now just be patient.'
"What kind of pilot are we dealing with? He talks in riddles!" Leena's Gunsniper twitched from it's pilot being so fidgety. Bit shook his head. Only Leena and Bit had been sent out, the logic being that two fully armed zoids could easily take one down. Besides, what's the point of wasting fuel in all 4 machines when two could do the same job?
A good five minutes later, the rumbling of massive footsteps could be heard, and the Void team appeared on the battlefield…well, what could be a team if there was more then one. Leena burst out laughing at the sight of their newest opponent, kept in her seat only by her harness. This wouldn't be a fight! It would be a giggling session! A massacre!
"ONE?! THAT'S IT?! ONE ZOID FOR A TEAM?!! PAH! AND THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WAS AFRAID OF?!"
The liger standing before them seemed to be compiled of every sort of zoid created before it. The only thing recognizably liger-like was the head, and even that seemed stretching the definition. It was shaped like the liger 0 head, but a sort of dirty yellow. The rest though, that seemed salvaged.

The female pilot glared at Leena with a hatred that ran too deep to be caused by one person, her seemingly endless black eyes cold yet molten with a deep-rooted loathing for all of mankind. Especially Leena.
The Gunsniper pilot blinked, resisting the urge to step back. That voice was so incredibly cold…
"A coward?" The sentence was curt and short, but it was the tone of warning behind it that raised hairs on everyone's neck. Bit grabbed a left over French fry, holding it like one would a French baguette, munching on it quietly. He didn't want to be a part of what he knew was coming.
"At least I'm not the one who left a comrad behind on the battlefield." The waist length and free flowing honey colored hair only accented the mood, contrasting harshly with the black clothing. Leena tried to come up with a witty comeback, but her brain seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, not quite working…
The misshapen zoid turned its head on it's own, muttering to itself and nudging the black clothed pilot, almost bowling her over.
"Audrena….let's just go."
Rather ticked that she had missed out on such an opportunity to chew someone a new anus, Audrena hauled herself into the open cockpit, glaring one last time at the both of them and sticking her tongue out at Leena as they bounded off.
After a few miles, the both of them stopped, freezing in their place and smacking their foreheads.
"SHIT! THE PRIZE MONEY!"
