"God fucking damn it!" Slamming my hand into the wall of the Inn I shook in anger. "I fucking knew trusting the damn Bunny would lead to problems."

"Tye calm down." The little AI program sounded worried.

"Calm down? Calm down!?" Pulling my fist out of the wall I stared at my bracer. "Ichika is a coma because of her damn plan!"

It had been an hour since Ichika and Houki went on their mission and it failed… horribly. Not only was the Gospel stronger then we thought but there was a… complication. Two complications to be honest. Houki went out of control according to the logs we had. Houki was brash, arrogant and down right vicious. Her mental state was all over the place and when a ship came into the combat zone Houki did nothing as Ichika did everything in his power to defend it. Granted Ichika was an idiot for not finishing the mission. He had enough power and speed to not only save that ship but take out the Gospel, and of course Houki should have fought more to defend Ichika and now… One of my friends was in a coma and the other was pretty much and empty shell.

All this… All this was the damn Bunny's fault. She should have known Houki was not ready psychologically for an IS. See I knew there was something wrong with her when she got it. Now I knew… And yet her sister the so-called genius couldn't see it? Hell, not even Chifuyu saw it coming… Yet I did, and I didn't do anything… I should have said something and yet all I did was stay silent.

"You can't blame yourself for this, there was problems all around Tye." Vic did his best to comfort me, but this was all too much…. We were god damn teenagers… Not soldiers… Or weapons. Just teenagers… Slowly sliding down I gripped my hair tightly. I am not sure how I long I stayed in this position but when I looked up finally the last rays of the sun were coming from the window…

"No more… No more feeling sorry for myself…. Or down… Vic we have work to do…" Standing to my feet I held up my bracer and pulled up my display and started to look over the information I had on the Gospel.

Appearing on my screen the little yellow dinosaur waved at me. "Alright! Now tell me what are you looking for Tye?"

Frowning I kept scanning through the information. "Anything… Unusual or something that sticks out about this… I am not sure why but this entire situation stinks… badly… Hello… Vic take a look at this." Pointing the holographic screen, I pulled up the Gospels AI system. "It's AI the system at the time this IS went rogue was…shackled and deactivated, plus it was based on Natasha Fairs… She would never go rogue, so it stands to reason neither would the AI."

"That is interesting, but do you think it was an inside job?"

"No… It was hacked remotely and from the looks of it the AI's defense systems are on but otherwise it's not trying to return to base… Now say this was a terrorist group… Why wouldn't they have the AI to say their base or… Have it attack Honolulu? The testing site was on the island of Kauai…. So, a major city would be its best target…" Lowering my eyes in a glare I stared at the screen. "It flew here… Like it was…."

"Was what Tye?" Vic looked up at me with a frown.

I felt something horrible grip my heart. "… It was looking for us… Vic can you pull up the data you scanned from that IS that attacked during the class rep fight? Can you find anything on it that relates to what's happening right here?"

The small AI frowned and vanished from my screen for a couple of minutes and when he came up he looked well… panicked. "Tye… really bad news… That AI it was a prototype that went rogue and it was hacked remotely…. Just like this one…. It could have attacked a very populated city, but it instead came… To the school…"

"And it was stopped by me and Ichika… two very powerful IS's that were designed by Tabane Shinonono and now a new crisis has arrived with an even stronger foe and low and behold Houki Shinonono has the first ever fourth generation IS…" Shaking in anger I dismissed the information and stormed out of the room.

"Tye… What are you going to do?"

"Be very quiet I'm hunting a rabbit."


I found the damn Bunny out where she had ambushed all of us earlier that day and she was standing near the cliff side… She looked like she was waiting for something… no she was waiting for me. Now I will freely admit I was deeply afraid of this woman but right now my anger out weighed my fear and I hopped that would be enough. Otherwise… I am not sure what will happen. "Bunny… No Tabane we need to talk."

Turning around the purple-haired inventor smiled at me. "Hello Tye-Chan."

I knew that I couldn't and shouldn't mince words here and, so I chose to be up front and just ask her the question I wanted to know. "Why… Why did you do all of this? What's the point of you doing… ALL of this this?" Spreading my arms out wide I looked around. "Because for the life of me I can't figure out why you have… Expect for one… And if I'm right and I pray I am not…Did you do this because you just wanted to prove how smart you are?"

The creator of the IS still just kept smiling… Was she not bothered by any of this? That just made things worse.

"…" As I stared at her my rage kept building up. "It's your fault damn it!" Rushing forward with speed I didn't know I had I grabbed the woman by the collar of her dress and lifted her up. "You did all this just to prove how smart you are!? Ichika is in a coma because of you! Your own sister is a hollow shell of what she was, do you even care?"

Gulping the purple haired woman tried to get free but I tightened my grip. "You're being a little rough Tye-Chan… You could hurt Tabane."

"Shut up! Your lucky I am not strangling you!" I shouted my eyes burning with rage. "How can you be so fucking arrogant huh!? What gives you the right to do this shit?" Shaking her slightly I could feel tears falling down my face. "Ichika is in a coma because of your actions, Houki can barely move, much less talk. Chifuyu is locked in the control room trying to be strong but is struggling. All of our friends are hurting because of your actions!" Finally having enough of the woman, I threw her to the ground in disgust. "Tabane Shinonono you are perhaps the worst, most conceited… arrogant person in the world."

Tabane then started to cry at my words…Really? You think you have the right to cry? I wanted to hit her… But I couldn't... I wasn't that kind of person. Dropping her to the ground I stared at the creator of the IS and sighed. Stepping over her I stood at the edge of the cliff ignoring her crying. "Tabane, I have another question for you. Ichika once told me about the story on how he activated an IS and, yet I have a feeling it was your doing…. Because none of what happened to him made sense, a lone IS training unit in a room that he just happened to find… And then low and behold he can use an IS. You did it didn't you?" I asked turning my around to face the woman.

Sniffling she nodded her head and slowly stood to her feet. "Yes Tye-Chan… I made it so that he would find that IS and made sure he could make it move."

"Another question… Did you do that to me before hand?" I asked… Finally, I was getting to the real stuff.

Tabane however shook her head as she dried her eyes as she slowly stood to her feet and brushing her dress off. "No, that's why I took you to my lab Tye-Chan… I didn't know how YOU made an IS move… In fact, I still don't, and for Tabane the genius that is bothersome."

"So that's why you kidnaped me from my home, my friends, my family? All those tests you ran on me… Was just to satisfy your curiosity?" I asked more in shock then anger at this point… Which meant… How could I have made an IS move… If she didn't know… Then what made me

"No, no, no! Never… Well maybe… But I also did it to protect you Tye-Chan." Tabane stressed holding up her hands in front of her. "You were going to be scooped up by bad people and turned into a weapon… I wanted to save you from that and I did!"

Frowning I knew I shouldn't believe her but… with all the time I had spent with her I knew when she was lying to me. "What bad people?"

"Bad people, and I wanted to save you." She said… Great now she isn't being helpful…" They would have been awful to you, they would have made you into a weapon, with me you were given a chance to live! Look where you are, you have friends, a good school life all because of Tabane the genius."

Sighing I rubbed the bridge of my nose. So, there was people that wanted me? Who were they… You know now that she mentions it… There was some people in black-suits that came to my house after I was taken. I remember my parents telling me about that when I was able to call them… Were they looking for me? Shaking my head, I decided to focus on my next question. "That still doesn't explain everything that happened to me back at your lab… You ran tests on me, but you did more than that…You made me lift weights, you tested my tolerance for pain and many other things. Why?"

"Because Tye-Chan… You're… Different." She explained stressing the word 'different'. "For some reason you are more… evolved… Much like Chi-Chan! You two are the only ones that can physically take me on despite all my enhancements. That's why your IS has no shields and why you take such little damage when you get in fights."

… I just thought it was because of the extra armor… But this… "So, wait you did this to protect me? And the tests were just to what? Not only find out why I can use and IS but see just how strong I am?"

"Yep, yep, yep!" She nodded her head happily, any sign of her crying was now long since gone. "That also why I sent that other IS."

Taking a deep breath, I shook my head. "Listen… I am going to stop the Gospel and I need your help… I need the CAS system and I need it now… If you help me fix this mess you caused… I think I can start to forgive you… But I need your help… Please Tabane… Help me."

Looking down Tabane crossed her arms and thought over it. "Hm…. Okay Tye-Chan!"


As I was rocketing off toward the Gospel I was mentally preparing myself, the Bunny had warned me that other than providing me with the CAS she wouldn't be helping in any other way. She said while she rather watch these events play out rather then directly get involved. Hell, the only reason why she was helping me… Was well she didn't want me upset with her anymore… It's strange to think she viewed me in such a way… Then again given what happened between us in her lab…

Shaking my head, I focused my mind on the coming fight… This fight was going to be perhaps the hardest and most difficult… Hell just like the fight against that other rogue IS… But this time there was no backup. There was only me and Vic. Though this time I had the CAS which meant that I wouldn't be limited in what I could do. "Vic can you do a scan on the CAS we need to make sure the entire system is working. I rather we not have any surprises out there."

"You got it Tye." The AI said and after a few minutes his voice chimed in my ear. "I have good news and better news Tye, which one do you want first?"

"Give me the good news first then." I said with a small smile on my face.

"Good news is the CAS is good to know, and the better news is everything was upgraded to the max!"

"At least the Bunny is good for something." I muttered as I shook my head as I got closer and closer to the Gospel I something appear on my radar within my IS… That can't be right can it? They're here… Slowly landing on a nearby island I could see the Gospel wasn't to far off… In fact, it was in some kind of sphere. Looking around I spotted the familiar forms of the girls. Despite the massive size of my IS they hadn't even noticed me. Walking forward I turned my head slightly and cleared my throat gaining their attention. "What are you five doing here?"

Flinching all five girls turned to stare at me… Huh Houki wasn't her hair up… She's kind of cute like that… No wait focus on the here and now Tye.

"We could ask you the same thing." Rin said with her arms crossed.

"Yah we are here to avenge our fallen friend." Laura spoke up staring at me.

Celica nodded with an upset look on her face. "That's right we will take this thing out, right now."

"If Miss Orimura sent you after us well you forget it Tye." Charlotte said glaring at me.

Houki moved forward and nodded. "I'm to make sure that thing pays for what happened to Ichika."

Staring at all of them I smiled within my helmet… Houki got her fire back that's for damn sure, thank goodness. However, I can't let them know my full plan just yet. "Really? And do any of you have single shot capabilities? Because without that you won't be able to take that thing down." All the girls paled slightly but they weren't backing down. "Well your lucky because I do, so let's take this thing down and avenge Ichika."

All of them gasped but smiled happily, though I knew they were confused about the single shot power, but they will find out in time about what I meant. Laura lined herself up to take the first shot with her main cannon, while the others took off into the air, they were getting ready to fight. Which meant it was my time to shine.

"Victory Dragon CAS activate!"

(AN: Play Zoids New Century Zero OST Track 17 ("Zero Jager")

In a bright light the entire Victory Dragon was surrounded in a metal sphere. Inside of the sphere were several compartments each marked with a letter and color. The compartments all rotated until it came to one that was marked with a 'B' slowly opened to reveal empty slots and robotic arms. The arms latched out and began to remove everything from the dragon, including the basic orange 'skin' armor leaving me in a hollo skeleton frame of the IS I once knew.

Appearing on a screen before me was Vic. "Alright Tye what are we going for, The Juggernaut? Or perhaps we can use the Dragoon."

"Wrong buddy we're going to use the Hunter form." I said with a grin as the compartments began to switch around to reveal a side with the letter 'H' as it opened up new armor attached itself to the shell of my IS. Now all of the CAS forms were different from one another but out of all of them Hunter resembled the Victory Dragon's base form, but the armor was thinner and made from lighter materials. Which meant that this thing was going to be way faster. The helmet was now more streamlined with the three main horns pointed up. The gauntlets were now much longer but the hands were completely covered with three long blades at the end. On the back of the IS were to massive ION thrusters appeared. The last part of this new form that was different was the fact it had no tail.

"Victory Dragon Hunter ready to go!"

The metal sphere vanished revealing my new armor I looked at the girls who just stared at me in shock. "Tye what is- "

"No time for explanations, suffice to say we're going to take that thing down now! Laura fire away!"

Nodding the small German girl aimed her cannon at the sphere the Gospel was in. "Ja wohl!"

As soon as she fired I activated the ion busters on my back and took off at speeds that I previously was never capable of… Hell even when the Bunny first designed this thing it couldn't go this fast… Maybe that's why I couldn't use it in the beginning… She was improving it… Did the Bunny care about me? Shaking my head, I was near the Gospel before I realized it. The claws at the end of my of gantlets began to glow as they were super-heated. "Let's see how you handle this!" Letting out a battle cry I sliced at the Gospel.

The super-heated metal claws barely scratched the stomach of it's body. Yet I did hit it. That thing recoiled and from what I could tell if I had landed just a solid hit on it the Gospel would have gone down for the count. Damn it now that it knows I am here this will be a game of cat and mouse. "Girl's I'm going to try and get a clean hit on it, try and lead it to me!"

"Roger!" They all shouted, and thus began our battle with the Gospel.

The fight was a lot harder then even I thought, even with the increased power output of my armor system and with all the girls help we all still struggled fighting this thing. It was just as fast as I was but because of it was smaller it was more agile than I was. Plus, none of the attacks the girls did could truly pierce it's shields and the attacks that did hit barely did anything.

"Vic, I am going to need your help here bud can you try and hack into that thing? We need to slow it down!" I shouted in between panted breaths.

"I can try but it's fire wall systems are state of the art"

"Anything you can do to slow it down till work for me! Gah!" I was hit by a stray blast by the Gospel. Grunting in pain I looked down to see a part of my armor was now gone… This is the problem with the Hunter form of the Victory Dragon. The armor was thinner and lighter which allowed greater speed but at the cost of being a tank. So, I had to be careful otherwise I will die… even if what the Bunny said about me being stronger and more durable was true.

Gritting my teeth, I backed away and took a moment to examine the damage that the Gospel caused. The wound… It wasn't pretty the silver IS caused not only damage to my armor, but it smacked into my leg and given the amount of blood that was pouring down my leg… We didn't have much time… Looking closer I noticed a piece of metal sticking out of my leg. "Laura, I need you!" Flying for a large rock I dismissed my IS and began to tear at my shirt, around that time the silver-haired German landed on the ground her IS vanishing as well.

"Tye what is the matter…" Her red eye going wide Laura quickly rushed to my side and began to check over my wound.

"Laura… Do me a favor and rip the metal out of my leg… And then use that little laser blade from the Schwarzer Regen to cauterize the wound." Panting heavily, I gripped my leg as I tried to stabilize my breathing.

"Tye I am not sure… You could bleed to death and if I nick a major artery…" Laura sounded hesitant.

Groaning out in pain I looked her in the eye. "Laura if you do nothing I'll bleed to death… This is the only option we have."

"Fine… Hold still… "Deploying the arms of the Schwarzer Regen Laura waited as I took the piece of my shirt that I ripped off and stuffed it in my mouth and when I nodded in a swift motion she removed the shard of metal and quickly replaced the metal with the laser blade of her IS.

"Ahh!" My screams of pain was muffled by the piece of t-shirt in my mouth but that didn't stop my pain from being seen… I am pretty sure I passed out a couple of times as the only things I could remember was the smell and sound of burning flesh. When I finally came too I slowly stood to my feet with Laura acting as my support, and despite the immense pain I was in… I knew that we had to finish this fight. Looking at Laura I knew she understood this as well. Looking up in the sky I could see that the Gospel was now in it's second shift form and its wings were feathered wings of light… This isn't good but despite this we had to fight.

Deploying our IS's we took the sky, the armor over my leg was still missing but I could deal with that later. Looking around I spotted Houki was on was on a small rocky boulder similar to what I was one… But she wasn't alone… There was a silver/white blue IS with her… "Ichika!" I couldn't believe it the idiot was out of a coma… And his IS… It was in it's second shift. "That damn idiot… I guess it's true the hero always shows up at the last minute."

As Ichika came into sky we all surrounded that idiot with smiles. Though mine was hidden behind my helmet.

"It took some time for us to recover." Laura said nodding at the Japanese boy.

"Right then it's time we staged our counter attack." Celica smiled at him.

"Alright Ichika let's finish this in short order." Rin nodded with a firm expression on her face.

"We have enough energy for this so don't worry about us." Charlotte added with a nod.

Smiling behind my helmet I nodded at Ichika. "Glad to see you're sleeping beauty… Ichika with that thing in its second shift I don't think you alone will be enough but… If we combine our one-off attacks we should win."

"Laura, Celica… Rin, Charl, Tye… Come on! Let's do it! Ichika took off into the sky with all of us following him as the sun slowly began to rise over the horizon.

Charing after the Gospel all the girls took up key points around the battle field as Ichika and I headed straight for the damn thing head on. Houki who now had her hair tied up with a white ribbon she helped us in the close quarters doing her best to whittle the energy the Gospel had. "Ichika, Tye now!" Houki shouted as she captured the Gospel.

"Ah!" Ichika and I charged toward the silver IS but upon noticing us it blasted Houki and soon Ichika and I began to attack it, but our every attempt was blocked. Damn it this thing is even better then before. As Ichika and I avoided the attacks it launched at us.

"Laura now!" I shouted as the German girl

"Ja wohl!" She shouted as she fired two massive shots at the IS both of which grazed the Gospel, avoiding the rest of the attacks Laura fired the Gospel returned the favor and attacked the small girl but was interrupted as the bits of Celica's IS attacked it.

"I'm right over here you monster!" Celica slashed the air, but just as the IS turned on Celica it was blasted by the shock canons of the Shen Long.

"Tye! Ichika Hit it one more time!" Rin shouted as the Gospel took off into the air and launched an energy attack that covered the battle field. However, Charlotte saved her from being killed by deploying some kind of energy shield around her and herself.

"Hurry you two we can't hold out much longer!" The French native shouted at the both of us.

Taking toward the Gospel I knew that I had only once chance of beating this thing… I had to put all my energy into this one last attack. "Vic transfer all power to our boosters and claws."

"Tye if I do that- "

"Just do it!" I shouted as Ichika and charged at the Gospel full speed. "Ichika I'll hit it high!"

"I'll hit it low!"

Charging together we struck the Gospel with full force we kept pushing our attacks as far and deep as we came crashing straight into the beach side of an island causing a massive explosion…. After that… Everything started to get a little shaky. I remember Houki and the other girls flying down to ask us if it was over… I remember falling over… and someone calling my name… Anything after that is a complete blank.


Groaning I winced clutching my ribs in pain… Slowly opening my eyes I found myself in the Guest House.

"Well look who's finally awake."

Looking toward the voice, I smiled slightly seeing the form of Chifuyu staring down at me… I wasn't sure, but I swear she looked relieved to see I was alright. "Hey Chifuyu… What happened?" I tried to sit up, but the older woman touched my shoulder and kept me down.

"You defied direct orders." She said with a frown and a sigh. "Your lucky you came out a live, you broke your ribs… All of them, and your leg… Well the scar will never go away, and you'll have to walk with a cane and leg brace for at least a month or more. Oh, and you dislocated your right shoulder."

I felt a small smirk form on my lips. "Is that all?" I tried to laugh but I winced in pain. "Laughing… and breathing hurts…"

"And it should you idiot. You had everyone worried." Chifuyu moved slightly so show that Laura, Charlotte, Celica were very close to me, while Rin, Houki and Ichika all were asleep against the wall. "Tabane was here earlier but I had a feeling you wouldn't want her around when you woke up, so I sent her on her way."

I sighed and clutched my ribs in pain. While it is true that she bugs me… I think after she came clean… Hell even helped me with the Gospel… I could learn to get over my issues with her… Granted… There was still some issues to work out but those could be worked out in time. "Yeah… Thanks for that… What time is it?" I asked looking at the woman with a raised eyebrow.

"Past noon of the same day, now I had your IS sent to maintenance, so you won't have to worry about that. Now I have some work to do that your awake." She said before doing something that completely shocked me. Chifuyu gently kissed my cheek. Slowly standing to her feet the Japanese woman smiled… a true real smile. "Get some rest kid." And just like that she was gone, leaving me alone… Well not alone per say but I was the only one awake in my room.

Slowly I touched the cheek she kissed I blushed lightly. "Maybe Vic is right… Maybe I am a babe magnet."

"Mmm… What time is…? Tye?" Slowly a familiar silver-haired teen sat up and rubbed her eye sleepy before blinking in surprise. "Tye you are awake!" At her shout everyone awoke and now I was completely surrounded by my friends and all of them were yelling at me or telling me that I was lucky to be alive.

"You're a bigger idiot than Ichika." Houki declared but from the look in her eyes I could tell she was joking… somewhat.

"You idiot what were you thinking!?" Rin shouted slamming her fists into the mat next to me.

"Man, I'm just glad your alright." Ichika said rubbing the back of his head with a smile.

"Tyler dear I am so delighted your alright." Celica smiled at me with a relived look on her face.

"Oui I am glad to know you are safe." Charlotte sighed happily but then her face became stern. "What were you thinking Tye? You could have died."

Laura nodded. "You are my bride you aren't allowed to die."

As I looked around the room I sighed… It's funny when I first joined this crazy messed up world of IS's I thought myself to be extremely unlucky… And yet as I look around the room seeing my friends… I realized that I was wrong… I am perhaps one of the luckiest people in the world and I am glad I could be a part of it.
