I DO NOT OWN ZOIDS, OR THE BLITZ TEAM. I DO OWN THE SHADOW TEAM
The Shadow Team
Bit Cloud and the rest of the Blitz Team had just returned from a two week vacation after winning the Royal Cup Tournament, while Brad, Bit and Jamie were helping Doc unload the luggage and Leena's shopping bags, Leena went inside to make sure her secret stash of cookies were still tucked safely away in her bedroom cabinet.
Just as the fuchsia haired, lavender eyed girl turned to leave the Zoids Battle Commission sent in data on their next match, It was all the usual data team names, location, battle mode number, and time, they would be fighting the Shadow Team in battle mode 0983 in one week in an open desert area, the message also welcomed the team back from their vacation. Jamie, the black haired team strategist and cook, went to work on some new battle strategies for the team to use while the others found ways to occupy their time.
One week later
None of the Blitz Team had ever seen the Shadow Team in combat, and most of what they had heard was rumors and conjecture, so they prepped for the worst and hoped for the best.
"This will be easy, nothing to worry about with me and Liger on the field," Bit Cloud, a blonde haired emerald green eyed man, stated in his normal cocky pre-fight manner, as they departed from Toros Base in the Hover Cargo.
When they arrived at the field three custom built Konig Wolves were standing on the opposite side. Two of the Zoids were painted black with two silver streaks on the heads, and the third had three stripes on its head.
"Alright everybody, we don't know what these guys might do so be careful," Doc said as the team readied themselves to mobilize, "But don't those Zoids just look so cool?"
"Doc… you really need to focus here," Jamie said in an exasperated tone.
Bit was the last to launch into the field, he decided to leave Liger Zero in its standard white armor, thinking to himself, 'this is gonna be easier than I thought'.
The Judge satellite locked into the coordinates of the battle field, and fired one of the Judge capsules towards the planet. The capsule opened shortly after impact and announced,
"DANGER, DANGER, the area within a 30 mile radius is now a designated Zoid battlefield, only competitors and personnel have authorization to enter the area, area scanned, Battlefield set up, the Blitz Team vs. The Shadow Team, Battle Mode 0983, Ready….Fight."
Being impatient as ever Bit and the Liger lunged towards their target down range. Leena let loose a volley of missiles from her custom Gunsniper while their brown haired partner was firing away at his intended target with the Shadow Fox's Vulcan Cannon, though what shocked the entire Blitz Team is that none of their opponents were dodging their fire by a mere few inches.
Bit fired a few rounds from the shock cannon under Liger's belly, trying to catch his opponent of guard, and jumped high into the air screaming "STRIKE LASER CLAW".
When the dust settled the attack had been dodged and there was a gun barrel pointed straight at Liger's chin. Brad and Leena were in awe of this.
The only word spoken from the Shadow Team's leader at this point was, "Now," and as if out of nowhere the other two Konig Wolves appeared with guns pointed at both Brad's Shadow Fox and Leena's Gunsniper.
"Battle Over, Battle Over, the winner is…..The Shadow Team, Congratulations on your win. Farewell until the next battle," the Judge called as the capsule closed and was launched back to the satellite.
Back at Toros base
"How did he dodge the strike laser claw with all that dust in the air? I don't get it," Bit said in disappointment over the defeat.
"Our first battle in class S and we got slaughtered," his brown haired partner in battle said sounding calm as usual but looking annoyed while taking a sip of his coffee.
Leena had buried herself in a magazine trying to forget about the whole thing, but even she admitted that a first battle loss hurt.
"That Shadow Team must have been using those Zoids a very long time, they almost moved faster than their own shadows!" Doc said in a somewhat excited tone.
"Oh Doc… Look guys we may have lost today but we've also gathered valuable data for the next time we face them," Jamie said trying to cheer up his team mates.
Shadow Team base
"I thought the Blitz team would have presented more of a challenge with an Ultimate X Zoid on their team, how 'bout you Mike?" a tall brown haired man, asked the newest member of the team, though at 30 years old he was also the oldest of the team.
"I agree with Barrett, boss, it was almost too easy," said a young man with shoulder length black hair, he was also the youngest of the team at only 20, but he had been piloting Zoids since he was a small child.
"David, Barrett, even though they had Liger Zero on their side you have to remember that, sometimes this world can surprise you," a husky voice attached a blonde haired man with a scar on his right eye sitting on the paw of the Konig Wolf with four shoulder stripes replied. 'But maybe they'll learn a few things before our next battle,' he thought to himself as he stared off into space as the other two men left the hanger.
