Chapter 3- The Blind Battle: The Prince Arrives

The sounds of gunfire were heard as around 7 red and white colored Raptor like Zoids with green eyes, beam cannon on their arms, and scythe like blades on their backs called Rev Raptors were shot down by a powerful beam, the shooter was revealed to be Harry Champ in his Customized Dark Horn having used his Gattling Gun to shoot the Raptors down. He had his Dark Horn, Stealth Viper, and Heldigunner repaired after his defeat at the hands of the Primal Beauty Team several weeks ago. Now he was practicing his battle speciality, blind battles which was Battle Mode 0977. The last Rev Raptor gave its cry and fell to the ground its system frozen.

"Live ammunition training completed. All Rev Raptors destroyed. Good work Harry." Came Sebastian's robotic voice.

Harry opened his cockpit with his usual arrogant grin. 'My name is Harry Champ! I'm a man destined to be King!' It seems he had recovered fully from his utter loss at the hands of the Primal Beauty Team and was back to his normal self. He looks to a small wallet sized of Leena Toros. Harry had a hopeless crush on the daughter of Steve Toros, no matter how many times she rejected him, he still hadn't given up on her.

Then the scene switches to Leena at the controls of her Dibison as the Blitz Team were currently in a battle. They were fighting a team of three feline Zoids, two Panther Type Zoids called Helcats and one Saber Tiger just like the ones on the Tigers Team, only this Saber Tiger had a dark red color scheme in place of the Tiger Team's yellow.

"Alright Brad, here I go!" Leena announced.

"He's starting to panic!" Brad said as one of the two Helcats fired on his Command Wolf.

The red Saber Tiger was charging at Leena's Dibison ready too attack at close rang combat.

"This Saber Tiger must be the leader of the team!" Leena locked on target with her Dibison's 105mm 17-Shot Megalo Max Assault Cannons. "Well here's some Tiger food for that!" But then to her surprise, the Liger Zero got in her line of fire chasing off the Saber Tiger. "Hey! What are you doing Soshi?! Get out of my line of fire!" Leena said.

"Leena it's a trick, the Saber Tiger was distracting you so his Helcat teammate could attack from long range, go after him, I'll handle the Helcat." Soshi said as he had Luna go after the Helcat. Luna fired a few shots from her Shock Cannon taking down the smaller cat zoid.

Leena went after the Saber Tiger and used her Dibison's Megalo Max attack to take him out.

Brad took out the last remaining Helcat.

The Judge announced as the buzzer for the end of the battle sounded. "Battle over! Battle over! The winner is…" He raised his blue ended arm. "The Blitz Team!"

Watching the battle nearby outside the battlefield or rather watching Leena herself was none other than Harry. He was using binoculars to spy on Leena. He takes them off and gives his arrogant smile to no one in particular. 'My name is Harry Champ! I'm a man destined to be King!'

Then he sees Leena talking with Soshi and looking quite comfortable. "What who is that guy and what's he doing with MY Leena?!"

"Soshi, I scanned the battle data and you were right. If I had kept my focus only on the Saber Tiger he would've pinned me between his close combat attacks and his Helcat teammate's long range fire and likely would've taken my Dibison down, thank you for helping me," Leena said lightly blushing. Then another thought came to her. "But why did you still allow me to take out the Saber Tiger? you could've gotten a lot of individual points for taking him out yourself."

"I'm here for the team not myself Leena," Soshi replied with a charming smile that made Leena's blush return tenfold.

Harry growls. 'Who is this newcomer think he is talking with MY Leena?!'


At the Blitz Team Base

Soshi was doing some maintence on Luna polishing her armor so it was ready for their next battle. Luna purred as she enjoys the polishing.

Leena was helping Soshi polish Luna and afterwards they got down onto the floor. "Soshi I'm curious what do you look for in a girl?"

Soshi thinks for a bit. "Hmmm, well…"

Leena was listening and even Luna was doing her version of listening.

"Well for my idea girl…She would have to be brave and kind but not arrogant, she would also have to be free-spirited and proud of who she is," Soshi replied.

Leena was cheering in her mind. 'Yes! Soshi wants a brave kind girl who is free-spirited and proud of who she is truly! That's me to a tee!' She giggled in her mind. She was about to ask Soshi something else.

"NOT UNDER MY WATCH!" Yelled a familiar voice much to Leena's annoyance as Harry came down at Soshi with his knee out.

Soshi easily moved to the side, as Harry landed harshly on his knee hurting himself on the floor and he groaned and held his knee in agony.

"Thanks a lot! If you hadn't moved you would've been the one hurt!" Harry yelled.

"Only an idiot would let someone hit them," Soshi replied.

Leena groaned at the sight of Harry. 'What are you doing here Harry?' She realized and had an idea getting cat like grin on her face. 'Oh this will be perfect!'

"Who are you and what are you doing with my Leena?!" Harry demanded to Soshi.

Soshi's eyebrow raised a notch when he heard Harry's statement. "Your Leena? really dude? anyway, my name is Soshi and I am Leena's new-" is as far as he got before he was cut off by the girl herself.

"My boyfriend!" Leena declared glomping Soshi's arm and hugging him with a cute smile and blush. "We're VERY close isn't thst right Soshi-kins~?" looked horrified at the scene before him.

Soshi groaned internally he had, of course, heard of this trick growing up in a house full of older women. his sisters had never used it preferring the direct approach. but he had witnessed one of their friends use this trick to great effect a couple of years ago. now all he had to do was figure out if she was using him as a shield in an attempt to get rid of Harry. or if she was using him as a sword in an attempt to make Harry jealous. Though judging by his calling her his Leena he was strongly leaning toward the former. pasting a bright smile on his face as he gazed at her in a loving manner and answered "That's right my princess we are very close." he said in a slightly husky tone as he leaned forward a placed tender kiss on her forehead.

Leena was giggling but was in fact blushing deeply.

Harry looked devastated and horrified.

turning to Harry Soshi says to him in a somewhat serious tone. "So I'd appreciate it if you left us alone as you can see we are trying to spend some time together."

Harry slumped back to the Champ Base depressed.

after he left Soshi turned Leena and dropped his acting "Really Leena? if you need help getting rid of someone that's fine but please a little warning next time." he sighs before continuing "Knowing Harry Champ this isn't over he will be back probably with some stupid idea in his head about how he can win you from me in a match."

Leena nodded. "I know Soshi i don't even know why Harry's so obsessed with me but he's annoying, he isn't my type of guy,"

Soshi sighed again, "Yeah I know come on we better let the others know whats going on so they aren't blindsided by whats coming."

Leena nods smiling as she goes with Soshi to tell the others.

and so the call from team champ a few hours later came as no surprise to anyone. Steve picks up the call. "Ah, team champ we have been expecting your call."

"I challenge that new guy Soshi to a Zoids Battle for Leena's hand," Harry declared.

Soshi stepped into view from behind Steve. "You want a fight? fine here are my terms. the fight will be one on one no backup. and I want to make one thing absolutely clear to you Leena is not some prize to be won or lost she has a say in who she is with. and the harsh truth is regardless of the outcome of this battle she does not want you and I will not allow you or anyone else to force her into something she does not want."

Leena was blushing with a smile as she listened to Soshi's words. His words only made her feel more affection growing towards him.

"Heh. Fine you'll be easy to beat Soshi I'll send your team the coordinates to the battle." Harry said with his arrogant smirk. "See you tomorrow,"

"See you tomorrow Harry." Soshi returned calmly.

The call ends. Leena hugs Soshi smiling. "Thank you Soshi your words just moved me so much,"

Soshi awkwardly returned the hug with one arm. "Um, your welcome?" he said rubbing the back of his head.

Leena smiled cutely and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Beat Harry's butt Soshi-kins~"

Soshi blushed lightly "Will do but can you please think of something better than Soshi-kins for a pet name?" he asked embarrassed.

Leena giggles. "How about Soshi-kun?"

Chuckling he replies "that's better." as she unintentionally used one of his sisters' favorite pet names for him.

Leena smiled and spoke,. "Soshi-kun, Harry is very rich so he can spend a lot of money buying ammo and components for his zoids. He has a lot of them but he mainly pilots a special customized Dark Horn."

Soshi noded "I am aware remember when I said, my mom and sisters, are a team so they have encountered his family's team. and more recently the man himself so I have a good Idea of what he is going to bring and how he operates."

Leena nods and gives Soshi a kiss on his cheek.

Soshi smiles and blushes lightly "Now I have to get ready for the fight" with that he heads down to the Zoid bay.

Leena smiled.

Luna stood proud her white armor glistening even in the dark room. Her eyes flash orange as she lets out a soft rumbling growl greeting her pilot.

Soshi walked up to her paw and sat against it "Hey Luna we have a one on one fight tomorrow. we will be going up against that idiot Harry champ."

#He wants to fight us Soshi?# Luna asked him

"Yeah, the idiot thinks that he can win Leena like she is some kind of prize," Soshi replies then he sighs and continues "It probably doesn't help that she told him that I was her boyfriend in an attempt to get rid of him."

#I see well we will teach him the hard way Soshi that you can't just win a woman as a prize# Luna responded.

Soshi smiled "My thoughts exactly Luna. so how do you think we should take him down? from what I have heard of him the idiot thinks that all it takes to win a battle is firepower. so he will most likely be in his dark horn or some similar heavy Zoid loaded down with the biggest most powerful guns that money can buy. so do we beat him at his own game and say at long range and beat him with our superior mobility? or do we get in close and tear him apart with our claws and fangs to really humiliate him?"

Luna ponders. #Either way would be fine for me Soshi.#

Soshi thinks for a bit. "His specialty is ranged fighting while ours is up close melee fighting, and while it would be satisfying to beat him at his own game which we are more than capable of doing. I think that we should play to our strengths and not his show him that firepower is useless if you cant hit the target."

Luna if she could would smile as she replies. #Sounds good Soshi we'll show our physical power and my superior maneuverability.#

Soshi reached back to pat her leg. "Alright so we should be as light as possible then do you want to keep the shock cannon to take a few shots at him as we close in or drop it for maximum speed?"

Luna responded. #Let's jettison it for my max speed and Harry doesn't know of the beam gun on my tail.#

"Alright sounds like a plan Let's tear him apart tomorrow Luna" Soshi declares confidently.

Luna agreed. #Right Soshi,# The others just heard her signature roar echoing throughout the base.

Soshi fell asleep and Leena came in seeing him sleep, she giggled and had brought a blanket for him and drapes it over him so he will be warm and leaned down. She kissed his forehead. "Soshi-kun, I don't want this to be just an act, I really do feel something good for you," She left the room.

Soshi woke up the next morning a little stiff but nothing he hadn't gotten used to when it was just him and Luna he had spent many a night sleeping in her seat or leaned against one of her paws.

He stretched as today was the day of his one on one match with Harry Champ.

Gathering his things for his morning shower Soshi idlely wondered who brought him the blanket last night. and resolved to ask Luna about it later though he had an idea of who it could have been. But for now, he needed to focus on his upcoming fight.

fter a nice shower, Soshi got dressed in his signature outfit. He and the Blitz Team head out in their blue and white Hovercargo. They see the ruins of a city enclosed in a wall.

Harry was waiting in his Dark Horn.

The judge capsule lands and the sirens sound as the capsule arose and opened showing the offical ZBC judge as he anazyles. "This area is a designated Zoid Battlefield. This zone is now restricted! Only competitors and personnel have authorized entry! Danger! All others must leave the area at once! Battle mode approved! Area scanned! Battlefield set up! Soshi Niji vs Harry Champ! Battle Mode: 0992! Ready...Fight!" He raised and crossed his arms as the gong to start sounded.

Harry was shocked. "Wait Niji?! Like Lucertia Niji of the Primal Beauty Team?!"

Luna moves forward growling "That's right Harry She is my mother. So how do you think that this will be an easy win?" Soshi replied as he charged forward at Harry.

Harry looked at the White Liger Zoid. "Your Zoid is certainly different from a Shield or Blade Liger. But no matter I'm Harry Champ! I'm a man destined to be king!" He had his Dark Horn run into the city as Luna followed.

"We will see about that Harry," Soshi replied as he and Luna began to quickly close the gap on the heavier and slower Zoid.

Harry was stunned by the Liger closing in. He turned and began to fire using the Gattling unit and firing from the Big Beam Launcher usually seen on Iron Kongs but Luna with her superior agility and maneuverability easily dodged his bullets and beam shots. 'That Liger is pretty fast! It dodged every one of my bullets!'

Luna came fast closing in and fanned the sides of her mane out as golden plasma energy gathered there and then went down her front legs down to her claws giving then a golden bright glow.

As Luna closed in. "Alright Luna our turn, Strike Laser Claw!" Soshi yelled as Luna roared her agreement and put an extra burst of speed closing the remaining distance between her and the dark horn in seconds. she slashed her claws down the left side of her prey. heavily damaging both legs and the stabilizer thrusters. The weakened legs could no longer support the top heavy load they were carrying causing the dark horn to topple over and freeze as its control system locked up.

The judge announced. "Battle over! Battle over! The winner isSoshi Niji!"

"No! Forgive me Leena I failed!" Harry cried groaning at his quick loss.

"Soshi Niji congratulations on your win, until the next battle!" The judge said as his capsule closes up and rockets back up to the ZBC Judge satelite.

Soshi and Luna return to the Hovercargo when he exits Luna's cockpit and hops down. Leena greets him with a big hug. "Soshi-kun that was amazing! You took Harry down so quickly! Even with his heaver more armed zoid your greater agility and better close combat skills defeated him!" She kissed his cheek again making the part Zoidian blush.

"No problem Leena, Harry talked a big game, but he seems to have no real skills as a pilot," Soshi replied.

Leena giggled. "I knew Harry was a bad pilot considering he decked out his Dark Horn and just relied on long range fire."

"Reminds me of a certain someone," Brad comments.


In the hanger rafts above, an eagle sized flying crimson organoid that greatly resembled a bat had been hanging upside down watching the whole thing and then it flew out of an opening heading to an isloated base several kilometers away, where a crimson and black colored Bat Type Zoid which more resembled a Vampire Bat was hanging upside down on a giant metal holder and a very beautiful young woman of about 16-17 with long bright crimson hair and red eyes awaited the organoids return a few feet awat from the Bat Zoid. This girl was absolutely beautiful having a beauty that match or even surpassed Naomi's own esily rivaling Soshi's mother and sisters in beauty (think Inner/Silver/True Moka from Rosario Vampire except with crimson hair instead of silver for her looks). Her outfit was different from most other warriors, it consisted off a romanian era like red short dress that stopped just above her knees, she also wore red pilot shoes and gloves. She had very pale skin and aristocratic features, her hair framed her face perfectly and only made her look that much more desirable. This beauty's name was Mina, she was like Yosho an Ancient Zoidian. The bat-like organoid was her organoid partner and friend and the Zoid was her own specially designed Zoid whom Yosho helped designed, her Zoid based on the Zabat Zoid called the Zabat Vampiros hers was larger and more well built for battle than the Zabats used by the backdraft group and it had some different weapons such as laser fangs in its mouth and retractable laser blades on its wings very similar to the blades used by Stormsworders and it also had two rail guns on it like Karin's Jet wvyern zoid and retractable missle pods on its sides.

Mina greeted her organoid as it landed before her and folds its wings up like a metallic cape around it. "Hello Batros, how was your survillence?"

"It was fine Mina," the Bat organoid replied being only understandble to Mina anyone else who didn't have Zoidan blood would only hear beeping /squeaking noises. "And I found where your boyfriend Soshi is,"

"You found my Soshi? where is he?" Mina asked excitedly as she hadn't seen her beloved boyfriend/future husband since he left his family's home base to find his Zoid and team and missed him dearly. Mina and Soshi had known each other since childhood and Mina was fully and truly in love with the half Zoidian boy and could be a bit possessive over him at times.

"He is a member of the Blitz Team Mina and pilots a Liger Zoid with white armor," Batros replied.

"My Soshi a team warrior…considering who he is descended from the Liger zoid doesn't surprise me," Mina smiled. "The Blitz Team I have heard a bit about them, I will do some research on the team, thank you Batros,"

"Of course Mina," Batros replied.

Mina smiled as she pulled out a wallet sized photo showing a younger her and Soshi in a cute posiiton together. "Oh my love, i can't wait to see you again and enter Zoid battles with you," She went into the abandoned building nearby.


Soshi: Luna's Shock Cannon and Beam Gun are pretty good, but I will hopefully get some new weapons for her. What? Doc is getting 4 different armor units made specifically for Luna? This will really help our future battles. The armors are all pretty good except for the green one its built too bulky and needs some serious redesigning. Next time on Zoids: New Legacy, the 4 CAS Units: Zero Schneider's Debut Ready? Fight!
