This is where the main part of the story starts!
THANK YOU ShadowRebirth37
Battle Modes
"Please Raven?" begged Dusk, staring at him with big, puppy silver eyes. Raven merely rolled his amethyst ones, giving her a glare.
"No."
"Please!" She whimpered. Raven sighed. "This girl is so annoying!" He reached over into the back, grabbing a jar and opening it. She grinned and he took out a chocolate chip cookie. She looked absolutely ecstatic.
"But…that shot…"
The three cannons that pointed side by side from the mouth of Death Gigas shot, the claws clicking shut quickly blasting another beam. Everything before Death Gigas burned and disintegrated, the ground began to turn into lava from the horrid heat radiating from the beam. Raven then heard the screech from his intercom.
Dusk cried out. He glanced from his own Particle gun to witness the steam burst from the cockpit itself. Narrowing his eyes sharply, he did something he never would ever consider himself doing back when. He stopped his gun and rammed the Broken down GenoBreaker right into Dusk's Death Gigas. Knocking both over. He felt heat radiating from the Zoid but the beam was forced to cancel.
"Thanks to you I burnt the rest of my Zoid…" He seethed, still holding the cookie in front of Dusk's face. Dusk tackled him and tried to get it. He let her this time. Her hands were wrapped in bandages around the palms, as they were burnt horribly. He smirked when she swallowed the cookie whole.
"Yay~ Cookie." She smiled brightly at Raven, who rolled his eyes. She then slid off the bed and bit the door handle, yanking it open and wobbled down the hall. Raven leaned on his hands, gazing at the door. Goato then entered.
"Raven?" Raven gazed at him, this time as a glare.
"What?"
"…The…GenoBreaker is …Um….Erm. Getting stronger." Raven raised a brow. "…We mean it is changing into something stronger."
Raven snorted. "Why sound so nervous, Goato?" Goato looked away. Raven let out a 'tch' and turned away. "Goato, just get out of the room."
"…If you betray us Raven, Just don't take Dusk with you. She doesn't need to turn as corrupt as you." Goato snapped, glaring hatefully at Raven. Raven let a sly smirk cross his lips.
"Does it matter what side she has picked? Quite frankly she is a useful thing." Raven just felt the desire to irk the ex-bandit captain. "Dusk wouldn't join me even if I was going to." Dusk kicked the door open, smashing the back of it into Goato.
"Op, Sorry 'bout that." Snickered Dusk, crawling back onto Raven's bed. "Raven! Cookie!"
"Get your own!"
"Please!"
Raven groaned internally. Why him? He flicked her forehead. "No. Get it yourself."
"Please Raven? I'll be your slave for a week!" Raven did take note that Goato froze when Dusk said this. He nearly laughed.
"…You can't even use your hands." Grumbled Raven, raising a brow. Dusk shrugged.
"I tried." She sat next to him, blinking at Goato. "Whatcha need anyway?" She tilted her head at her ex-guardian.
"Just…checking up on you. That's all." He offered an old smile and Dusk nodded.
"If you think so." She said, tilting her head curiously. Raven furrowed his brows… For some odd reason, what she said was familiar. He shrugged and laid on his bed, ignoring her as he began to rest. His ears however, overheard something.
"I found out where the Backdraft came from. The other half of the planet where they set up walls and such…I heard they're technology is much better then ours! The Backdraft come from there. I heard the only way to actually get to them is to beat through all of the battles and get to a high rank!" Raven smirked then.

"Run! It's the red Zaber fang!" The young Raven grinned a foul grin, Zaber tearing asunder anyone getting in his way. He skid to a stop as a pure black Rev Raptor was in front of him.
"Oh Hello!" A feminine voice shouted. She was extremely young sounded however. Raven raised a brow, Charging toward her. "Ahh!!" The Zoid dodged quickly ,grabbing his paw with two claws. "Hey! Don't be such a meanie! I'm not a bad person!"
"Who are you?"
"Just passing by and I found this Zoid. The heat is irritating." She complained. Raven's face appeared in her screen, and he was met with the face of a young pale girl. She had the most unique silver eyes that glowed brilliantly.
He narrowed his eyes, then spotted something pitch black in the corner of the cockpit. "…And why're you piloting this Zoid?"
"I don't know…I don't remember very much…" Raven raised a brow at her.
"Raven! Retreat to our main Force Now!"
Raven rolled his eyes. "Hey wait…" The girl stopped him. "
"What?"
"Can I come with you?"
"No." He stated coldly, walking off. The Rev-Raptor followed anyway.
"Hey, Whatcha favorite color??" "How Old are you?" "Why're you always frowning? You'll get wrinkles you know-
"Would you shut up?!" Roared Raven.
"Can I please come with you? I'll be your slave for a week!" Raven stared at her dumbly for a moment.
"Your useless." He stated flatly.
"Ah well. I tried." She grinned at him. "Well anyway, Can I atleast get your name?"
"Raven."
"Cool! I don't really have a name…but I'll remember yours!"
---
He narrowed his eyes sharply. They often met after that. They called her Rev until her Zoid blew up at one point… He sighed and shook it off. Dusk was laying on the other bed, sound asleep. He slowly slid out of bed, sitting a hand on her head.
What was he doing?
She was cold, and he felt it radiating off on his hand. He then gazed at Obsidian. With a growl, He glared at Obsidian.
"Get her." Obsidian stared at Raven curiously, then nodded and slid his master onto his back. Raven stormed into the storage area. It was dark out, so he had time. Opening the door, A huge sight greeted him. It was a blue Zoid with a unique design on its body, Three heads. One in the shape of a saw as an arm, the other a gun. The front head had huge gaping teeth and the tail had vents lined through it. Shadow was sitting under it, Then gazed at Raven. At Raven's smirk of approval, Shadow roared.
"Geno Hydra."
---
"Where could Raven be?!" Van slid to a stop, the Slash Liger looking left and right. He frowned deeply. "This is frightening. Maybe if you didn't say anything Goato we wouldn't be in this situation!" Grumbled Van. It was way too early in his opinion.
"WE've got a problem! Death Gigas is gone too!" Van glared at Goato's picture.
"No!" Moonbay shouted in the background.
"What's wrong Moonbay?"
"All the food I cooked ! Gone! There aren't even any cookies left!"
Goato's voice slid in, Confused.
"I found them Van."
---
"What now?" asked Dusk quietly, raising a brow at the guards in front of her.
"As you both know, the wars are over. Those officials who were once in the wars now decided upon creating something called a Battle Commission. We need Able-bodied Zoid-Pilots to battle against each other, rise in the ranks… The whole half beyond Callis City does it now."
Raven snorted. "Why would we waste our time doing that?" He sneered. The guard raised a brow at Raven's crude tone, but continued on.
"Well, Not only will it earn great reputation for you, but it'll help expand the land in a more peaceful situation…-
"You left out the information on the Backdraft however." Sneered the other guard… Dusk looked interested.
"Well, Raven. We get paid for it, and we also get to see new Zoids and stuff! Please we rarely get to see this half of the upgraded planet!" She pouted. Raven glared at her.
"When did she become able to affect me I don't want to know."
"Fine!" He snarled. The Guards blinked at each other, then moved aside. The huge gate opened.
"Those are your Zoids right?" Asked the guards, pointing to the Gustav and the two cloaked Zoids.
"Yes." Replied Dusk with a grin. The guards offered each a very odd square computer that resembled a calculator…
A computer voice beeped on the square computer…things.
"Register Warrior for team:-
"WARRIOR NAME:
The number pad turned into a Alphabet pad. "Hmm…Raven? What do we call this team thing?"
Raven snorted. "Don't ask me." He stated flatly.
So Dusk typed onto hers.
Register Warrior for Team: Ace
WARRIOR NAME: Dusk
She grinned at Raven, who rolled his eyes but copied her information.
DUSK; Register Code 0068X9
RAVEN; Register Code 0294Z7
Please Rewrite into the Computer and place into ZOID Mechanical Compartment Chamber.
They copied it in and blinked at each other. Then shrugged. Climbing into the Gustav, It began to move. Raven lazily stomped on the pedal as Obsidian and Shadow lay on the seats next to them.
---
"Woah!" Dusk gazed in amazement at the odd, large moving objects. "They're so much more farther in technology then the side we come from! Why did they let us in anyway Raven?" asked Dusk, tilting her head curiously. She had healed so she could now use her palms.
Raven shrugged carelessly. "Because they need us for the promotion." He kept his eyes on the road.
"I don't think we have enough people to use that Launcher System do we?" She asked, Pointing to the large …thing. It was Red and Orange, looking like a…something indescribable.
Then it said in big letters on the side. Hover Cargo
Dusk and Raven continued to drive on, until they passed some man who ran in front of their vehicle.
"Oy!" Snarled Raven, stomping the pedal of the break.
"Hey…you two look new… I offer you something unique!" He snivled. Raven glowered, But Dusk sighed.
"let's just see what he says…" She climbed out, Raven glowering.
"Just for…100,000….You can have this Hover Cargo and the two Zoids inside!" He pointed at a very…small Helcat and Revraptor Zoid.
Dusk sighed…
"Look We don't-
"We'll take it." Raven cut her off. She faulted.
"But you just told me tha-
"We'll be having extra weapons and Zoids, The hover Cargo can be repaired with my expertise." He smirked sharply at Dusk. She sighed again…
"Okay."
---
"Are you sure this is a good idea Van?" asked Fiona quietly, clinging the back of Van's chair. The Slash Liger roared, charging still.
"I'm positive Fiona- Woah! Zeke Woah!" The Slash Liger skid to a stop at the gate.
The Cockpit opened. "'ey, You see a Raven and a Dusk Come by here?" The guards blinked, then shook their heads. Van slid back in.
The guards had just switched posts.
---
"How does this work?" asked Dusk slowly, messing with the computer in the Hover Cargo. It was Red and Black instead.
Gustav, Genohydra and Death Gigas were in the Hover Cargo and fit nicely. As did the now sold Helcat and Revraptor.
A large capsule fell from the sky and Dusk gave a gasp of interest. "Woah! They really do have Satellites now!"
"Please Step onto your Launchers now and prepare for the Battle." A small, white computer-person was inside. A judge.
Dusk grinned widely. "Raven, think this will be easy? It is three against two…"
"Shut up and launch!"
"Alright!"
She flicked Obsidian on the nose to teach him how to use the computer and ran to the Launch room. Both watch the thing set up, and Dusk grinned, Entering the Death Gigas.
Dusk shifted uncomfortably on the launcher. "Oh boy, this is od---GAHHH!" The pad clicked and hurled Death Gigas onto the field.
Shadow roared.
"Launching." Replied Raven. Genohydra launched next to Dusk.
Three Rev Raptors were infront of them.
"let's go Raven!"
"Shut up and go."
"Battle Mode 0982. Ready? Fight!"
"Let's take this New team down! Ignore their Zoids, they probably can't use em!" The Raptors spread apart.
Raven's booster burst on as he charged forward.
"Let's go Death Gigas!" The huge claws came down, slapping one Raptor away simply.
Raven smirked. Maybe this would prove entertaining.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRA TO NEXT CHAPTER:
"Dusk! MOVE!" Shouted Raven. Fear gripping his inside. He had never felt this scared in his life. And he didn't even feel it for himself.
"SYSTEM FREEZE" on his monitor.
"No Raven! I won't leave them to take you aside!!" A picture of Dusk appeared in his screen, she looked around the room. As soon as she spotted the tied down, Broken down Helcat, her eyes narrowed.
"Dusk! Don't you even think about it! Gain some intelligence and run! I can handle this!"
She smiled at him. "No you can't. You aren't alone anymore." A flash of light blinded him, electricity burst from the screen around Dusk and he lost connection. His gaze found that of the Liger Zero and its two companions, A Lightening Saix and a red Horn. Death Gigas being trapped on the Gustav beside them.
"Give up!" Snarled the pilot of the Liger Zero. "Strike…."
---
Dusk stared quietly at the controls in front of her, grasping them once…twice. "Thank you…so much for this Obsidian." A tear slid down her cheek as it landed on the computer. A quiet roar responded. As she heard the pilot of the Liger Zero shout. "Strike…Laser-
"Launching, Zero Rebirth!"
The pad stuck out, and it shot out the pitch black Liger Zero, Claws flaring brightly.
"Claw Attack!" They both shout.
And they both smashed right into each other. Shadow took Raven out of the Genohydra, Gazing coldly at the broken down Zoid hidden in a crate.
"Shadow."
Shadow leapt inside.
"Launching, Berserk Fury!"
