Princess Amanda Emerges
It was a quiet day at Blitz Team headquarters, until…
"For the hundred millionth time, I wouldn't date you if you were the last man alive," yelled Serena. She was in the hanger, trying to chase Maurice Champ out of it. He had come over in his Cheetahtron, and began to beg her for a date. But Serena, like her mother before her, didn't like chauvinistic pigs bothering them all the time.
"C'mon Serena," begged Maurice, "Just once. You might even enjoy my company."
At that moment, Danny entered the hanger. He saw his sister fighting with Maurice, and decided to intervene on her behalf. To Maurice, he said, "Leave my sister alone. She doesn't want to go out with you, just give it up. Or is your brain to small to grasp that." He then grabbed the little snot, and dragged him outside. Then, Danny kicked him hard in the stomach, and punched him in the nose.
* * *
"Ouch, he hits hard for a little kid," complained Maurice. He began to think that he needed not only Alexander, but also Danny out of the picture in order to win Serena's heart. Alexander he could try to best in a Zoid battle, especially after his excess training, but Danny would prove a challenge. He wasn't even old enough to pilot a Zoid.
"I wonder," pondered Maurice, when he suddenly got an idea. "That's it, I'll just keep him busy with a problem of his own."

The next day, a pink Pteras landed in front of the base. Out of the backseat came a young girl about nine years old. She had Maurice's blue eyes, as well as his light brown hair. But that's where the similarities ended. Her hair was medium length—reaching right past her shoulders—and curly. She sported a pink dress with white ruffles on her color and sleeves. The shoes she wore were black, and her stockings were white.
"Wait here," she told the pilot. Then, the young girl entered the hanger.
Inside, she found Danny playing with some models his dad had brought him. 'So this is Daniel Cloud…impressive,' she thought, 'He might just make a good boyfriend.'
At that moment, Daniel looked up from his model Blade Liger. He saw her, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
The girl answered, "My name's Amanda Champ. My brother Maurice told me about you, but he never said you were this cute. Wanna go on a date with me?"
"No way, I don't date your type," replied Danny. He returned to the battle his Blade Liger was having with a Godulous.
Amanda was clearly mad at that statement. She yelled, "We'll see about that. You'll be mine, whether you like it or not." Then she returned to her Pteras, and sped off.
* * *
Everyone knew immediately that Maurice had manufactured the scene. But they were also eager to see it confirmed. It didn't take long too, the next day Maurice called the base in order to challenge The Blitz Team.
"My conditions are simple," he stated, "If you win, I'll pay thirty times the normal prize money. If I win, well all I ask for is a date with Serena, and my sister gets a date with Danny."
Ilene's eyes suddenly bugged out. Dollar signs appeared at the thought of all that money. "You've got yourself a deal Maurice. We'll just have to cream you again," she said.
Maurice replied, "Then I'll see you at thirteen hundred hours tomorrow. Don't be late." Then, the screen went blank, and he was gone.
* * *
Danny was quite upset at learning Ilene was using him and Serena as betting chips. But Serena had assured him everything would be all right. After all, they'd creamed The Champ Team the last time the two had fought. But he still worried.
The next day was a clear and sunny day. There was no wind either. Just the right conditions for a Zoid battle. Serena—who was using the Meteor armor—was positioned in the middle with Ilene and Alexander on either side. She began to reiterate Issac and Luka's strategy to them. "Ilene, take out Sebastian in the Heldie Gunner. Alexander, your target is Benjamin's Stealth Viper. Maurice and Cheetahtron are mine."
Their opponents were waiting in front of them, ready to fight. The second The Judge began the battle, both sides went on the offensive. Bullets were fired from every which way, and their biggest worry was getting hit with friendly fire.
At once, Ilene found a nice niche in the mountain to hide in. After switching over to sniper mode, she waited there patiently for her target to show. Soon, Sebastian happened to wander by. "Lights out for you," yelled Ilene, as she fired her tail gun. The Heldie Gunner collapsed.
Meanwhile, Alexander was toying with the Stealth Viper. His Lightning Saix's extreme speed helped him avoid any shots fired at him, but he didn't strike back. Instead, he waited until Benjamin ran out of ammo. Then, he ran by, knocking the Zoid against the mountain, knocking it out of battle. Unfortunately, Ilene happened to be thrown back by the Stealth Viper's hit. She too was knocked out.
"Nice job show off," grumbled Ilene. Alexander just scratched his head.
At that moment, Maurice ran by. Taking advantage of his moment of weakness, Maurice shot Alexander in the back. The Lightning Saix suffered a System Freeze, leaving only one Zoid on each side. And so the showdown began.
But it wasn't much of a fight if you ask me. Serena flew up into the air and released her Feather Bombs on Cheetahtron. Then, she came down to the ground, to take on her weakened adversary. While charging, she yelled, "Buster Slash." In an instant, Cheetahtron was out of the match.
"The battle is over. The battle is over," called The Judge, "The winner is…The Blitz Team."
At Champ Team HQ, Amanda began to mentally curse her brother. 'He messed up big time. Now, how else can I win Danny's heart.'
Maurice left his battered Zoid and came to where his opponents stood. "Now about that thirty times the usual prize money," commented Ilene. At that, the rich little snot fainted.

Heh, Harry has another little brat kid. To quote one of my fav. RPGs, "Like father, like daughter. My blood runs in your veins." Does anyone besides me know where that's from? If you guess right, I'll give you a shout out in the next chapter.
