New Helic City

"President Camford, ma'am it seems like we'll need some assistance from the Empire. Would you like me to video over?" asked Colonel Herman.

"Yes, Colonel definitely we're going to need all the help we can get. We won't give up the capital to Hiltz without a fight! Assemble all available troops to the front immediately."

"Roger! Over and out."

Within two hours after the Republic's distress call; the Imperial forces led by Karl arrived by Whale King instantaneously. As the Whale king opened its mouth; after touching the ground's surface zoids of all kinds exited the carrier varying from command wolves, shield ligers, heldigunners and even gojulas. Karl was the last to exit the Whale King in his specialized red and black saber tiger.

"Colonel Shubaltz, so glad you could make it." Smiled Herman from COM-link while also giving the Imperial colonel a salute.

"Glad to be of assistance Colonel Herman." Replied Karl.

(Ok, everybody knows what happens next from here. Just in case you don't know this chapter is based off of the episode when the Capital is destroyed. I highly recommend watching that episode first if you haven't already ;otherwise, you won't understand the chapter!)

"Irvine! Can you get a clear shot?" yelled Herman through COM-link of his Shield Liger.

"Yeah, Herman I'm doing the best I can! Everytime that I do get a good shot it keeps putting up an energy shield." Replied Irvine from his Lightning Saix.

"A shield! It's nothing like an ordinary zoid's shield, and it seems to be protecting the Death Stinger's entire exterior. That means there's no way through and of even stopping this monster!

Herman was instantly interrupted from his thoughts; as he heard the Saix gasping for help as it tried to struggle free from the Stinger's clutches. But the cheetah zoid couldn't slip away to no avail, it then went soaring overhead colliding into a nearby sky scraper; being knocked from the battle. Luckily Irvine was still okay and in one piece.

"Irvine, do you read me? Are you okay soldier?" asked Herman.

"Yeah, I'm alright and don't call me a soldier! I'm not one of your brown nosing lieutenants!" quipped Irvine.

The Colonel ignored the mercenary's last remark and opened a direct COM-link to Karl.

"Hey Shubaltz, I think its time we give it a try. I'll charge first with my shield that way we may be able to damage Hiltz's shield."

"Roger! I'll follow in right behind you, I got your back!" replied Karl as both the Shield Liger and Saber Tiger charged forward.

As expected Herman was able to charge with the shield, destroying the Death Stinger's shield but being defeated in the process by the monster's colossal claw. Karl then followed through with a direct attack with his Gatling unit, the Stinger reacted by grabbing his zoid and sent it sailing into the sky scraper next to the Saix, the Gatling unit still firing.

"Quite a defense force you all had ready for me. It's too bad your efforts resulted in defeat and to the end of all of you! Your capital shall crumble, I'll make sure of it!" laughed Hiltz as the Death Stinger shot off its CP beam bringing down the remaining unit of Command wolves.

"Karl! Hurry Thomas he's in trouble! We need to move faster!" yelled Alease as the two zoids ran over the capital boarders.

This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait

"I don't get it Beek. How does Alease know?" Beek just replied with three steady beeps indicating "How would I know."

Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know

"Alease, I can't seem to find Van. He isn't responding to me on the COM system. This isn't like him at all. Doesn't he know that the capital is burning to crisp?" sighed Thomas.

"I'm sure he's wrapped in something else right now, and he's probably doing the best he can to get here." Replied Alease.

"Hold on Karl, I'm coming my love. Just stay alive! For me!"

"No! I can't let Hiltz continue to advance. I must stop him now." Stuttered Karl as his zoid slowly got to its feet.

"MEGALO MAX! FIRE!" yelled Thomas. The barrage went straight towards the retreating Stinger's back hitting upon impact.

"Thomas! Thank the Gods of Zi you're alive! I wasn't sure I was going to see you here after that fight six months ago."

"Come on Karl, I couldn't stay mad at you forever. You may be my big brother and you have always pulled me out of fights, but I think its time that I returned the favor huh? What do you say?" smirked Thomas.

"You two aren't gonna go and do this without me now? You know I don't won't anything to happen to the both of you." Said Alease as the silver Saber Tiger stepped forward.

Karl gasped in seeing his beloved's face for the first time in six months. He was at a total loss for words.

"Alease…you came back. I thought you were dead."

"Well, here I' am in the flesh right before your eyes. Karl it was my heart that led me here back to you. I love you Karl Lichen Shubaltz." Replied Alease tears escaping her eyes.

That I love you That I have loved you all along And I miss you From far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

"I' m sorry. I broke my promise when I said that I'd never leave you. But everyone deserves a second chance right?" asked Alease.

"Yes, I could never deny you the chance for us to truly be together. Oh, I've missed you so. I love you too."

And I forgive you for being away for far too long, so keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore, believe it if I don't see you anymore, Hold onto me and never let me go

"It's great and all that you two lovebirds are back together and all! But how are we gonna fry this bad boy!?" yelled Irvine.
