The beginning of the end: Chapter 1 (cool name isn't it tho) **disclaimer-zoids is not mine **tear** even tho I wish it was it isn't so I guess I have to deal with it**

It was a dark and stormy night with howling winds and loud rumbles of thunder as lighting cracked the sky.

"Could this mission get any worse Arnold?"

"I don't know Kevin," Arnold cried over the loud thunder.

Their gustav was stuck in the mud and they had no other zoids except for their rev raptors and guysacks but they were loaded down too much tracking equipment to be used.

"Should we try the zoids Arnold?"

"No way I don't want to have to pull them out of the mud the equipment is way too heavy."

After about 3 hours the duo finally got back onto the road. By this time it was sunrise and the storm had totally passed by.

All of a sudden the scenery changed from forest to vast dessert.

"Wow there is something you don't see every day," said Kevin.

"What the heck was that?"

"Dunno."

All of a sudden a huge black zoid was flapping its wings in the air.

(For those of you who see zoids fuzors it looks like fire phoenix just jet black).

The huge bird like zoid screamed a high pitch call that shook the ground.

Then it swooped down right in front of the gustav allowing its sonic boom to hit the gustav hard knocking it on its side.

"We have to get out of here Kevin."

"One step ahead of you," as Arnold pushed the eject button.

The zoid flew around obviously pleased with what it did and screamed again with delight.

What the guys didn't know is that the bird was the reason they were stuck in the dessert.

For the bird needed these guys to find its master and revive her from her deep slumber.

With the tracking equipment the bird's master will be found. Then these men will think it to be an organoid.

For this bird knew all and it knew that a guy named Van sent these men out to find the "mysterious organoid" which just so happened to be his master.

As it flew off into the sunrise the men sat there confused with what had just happened.

"Well Mike I guess we will just have to get out the zoids to finish our mission. Won't be a problem most of them are computer piloted."

"Suppose so," said Arnold.

Ok so I bet you're wondering how a gustav can carry 10 zoids?

Well I know I didn't make it that clear but it's a modified one so don't worry.

Oh and the change of scenery wasn't because they were getting out of the jungle forest area it's because it just "changed". Magic I know just like a zip lock bag.........back to the story.

After what seemed like hours the team ,consisting of the two command wolves ac-piloted by Mike and Arnold, three rev raptors, and five guysacks (these zoids had the tracking equipment), they came across some ruins in a canyon.

"Well now this looks interesting Arnold," said Kevin.

"Can't argue there."

The ruins looked like a huge palace of some sort.

They walked up to what they thought was the entrance doorway to find that the bird-like zoid was engraved on the front with a young lady standing right underneath it.

"Wow that is amazing," said Arnold as he got out of his zoid and ran his hand over the huge pictures.

Just then the massive doors opened and the bird-like zoid screamed.

Arnold looked straight up to find the bird hovering in mid-air. Then he saw it.........
