The last thing that Jhese was expecting to find at the auction was what he bought, it was love at first sight the auctioneer wrote it off as cheap for scrap but Jhese could only see beauty, two bids and four thousand dollars later it was his. A dark spiner, the armour had all been removed either scrapped or destroyed and the spine was almost non existent but this imperial machine had potential, people had thrown rocks at it because this was republic soil but the zoid seemed to Jhese to be standing proudly simply to mock them.

Jhese purchased some other materials and sold everything in the trailer, bar the bike, plus sold a literal pile of scrap metal from the hanger, he also purchased a new tank for his bike.

David could not for the life of him figure out what Jhese was planning with the spiner but he seemed bursting with energy when he was dropped with all his newly bought junk that seemed in David's eyes to be less useful than what Jhese had sold.

Jhese set to work as soon as his teammate had left sight.

To his team mates Jhese seemed to be very remote but not quite distracted, his normally smooth riding had an almost lazy quality as if Jhese hadn't quite been sleeping right but he got the job done, the thing that bothered the team the most was the agitated way Jhese was when they tried talking to him.

About three months after the auction Cyrus had had enough and visited Jhese at home, only to find it and the hanger empty Cyrus got into the cockpit of his pteras and was about to take off when he heard a noise behind the hanger he whirled the pteras around in time to see a black dark spiner emerging.

Something was not right.

Cyrus took to the air and the black spiner turned tail and ran.

Black?

Dark spiners were usually green and this one even lacked a spine, this did not seem to bother the zoids performance as it ran at an impressive pace of two hundred and fifty mph, not a hard speed to keep up with for a flying zoid but very nimble for a large ground zoid, then to Cyrus's surprise twin thrusters emerged from the spiner's shoulders and propelled it an extra fifty mph faster!

Then a voice came over the radio "pretty nifty isn't it Cyrus?" Cyrus blinked

"Jhese?"

"Yep" the black zoid stopped and looked up at the circling pteras overhead "I call it the shadowsaur CAS"

"CAS?! You mean there is more of that… that thing I haven't seen?"

"Well they aren't finished yet but yes!"

Back on the ground Cyrus looked uneasily up at the black zoid "I don't know how I feel about it except that black makes me really uneasy"

Jhese grinned "the other armours are dark blue and red"

"Oh that's all right then" muttered Cyrus uneasily "what are the specialties?"

"The black is for fighting armor; it has boosters from a zabat that help it get in close quickly and accelerate quicker. It also has blades from that zabats wings hidden in its arms and the dark spiners original cannon for 'just in case situations'"

"What about the other two?" asked Cyrus.

"The red is for fire power and the blue I want to be for high speed battles but I don't have boosters big enough to move faster than the black armour I want better weapons for the red one too but I can't afford it yet."

Cyrus grinned "the war is over and battles are starting again, we could enter as a team. The other two are in what about you?"

"I'm in"

The day of the first battle dawned hot and bright under the planet Zi's two suns, this planet was not the native land of humans, they migrated from Earth and found a land once ruled by a race of advanced bipeds the long gone peoples who created the warlike zoids and the cores that gave them a limited artificial intelligence, the ability to feel emotions such as rage, fear and stage fright a problem that was currently plaguing Jhese and Shads the shadowsaur.

"Shads what are you doing? What is wrong?" screams Jhese as he desperately tries to steer a course through the attacking rev raptors, a camera droid whizzes past oh great thinks Jhese people are watching this, Shads picking up on Jhese's fear panics worse and he cowers away from a 'raptor that he outweighs by at least a tonne, in his harness in the cockpit Jhese sees David being set upon by two rev raptors. The handy cap system means that since two of the crews zoids are medium or above and one is of the flying variety an extra two small zoids are allowed to compete for the other team the "Riptearers" giving them a line up of six zoids (all rev raptors) to face an attack kat, command wolf, pteras and Shads.
