WHAT'S GOOD, PEOPLE! SAURUSROCK625 IS BACK WITH A NEW CHAPTER OF THE TYRANNO TEAM! I apologise for the long wait, but I was having a hard time coming up with new material for this story. As I'm sure you all know, Naruto stories ain't my strong point. But here we are, and I plan on getting at least two more chapters posted after this one. So now, without further ado, on to the new chapter shall we?

*I still don't own Naruto or Zoids! But if I did, Naruto's family would've survived Kurama's attack and Naruto would've grown up with the love and affection he deserves!*


Unsanctioned Battle! The Power Of The Charged Particle Cannons!


The trio of Tyrannosaurus Type Zoids looked to the crash site and noticed what looks like a Judge Capsule rising up from the ground. However, unlike the Judge Capsules used for official Zoid Battles, this one was black with red accents. And it just spelled trouble for our story's trio of protagonists, as proven by how their Zoids seemed to tense up and growl in an anxious manner.

"What kind of Judge Capsule is that?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know, but I don't like it!" Sakura replied.

"It's a Dark Judge."

Naruto and Sakura looked over to Sasuke, causing their Zoids to look at his Geno Saurer. On their monitors, Sasuke was tense and looked pretty anxious.

"I was told about them by my mother. Dark Judges are deployed whenever terrorist groups and Missing Nins challenge a team of Zoid Warriors to an unsanctioned battle. Unlike battles that are monitored and managed by the Battle Commission, these unsanctioned battles are much more dangerous! Pilots have been known to die in some of them because of the increased amount of danger, and if we lose to the opposing team, that team will confiscate our Zoids and use them as their own!" Sasuke explained.

His Geno Saurer's eyes glowed red as it roared at the enemy Command Wolf. It has finally found its ideal partner and was never going to allow itself to be piloted by a spoiled brat fleabag!

Sakura's Psycho Geno Saurer also roared in anger, but it roared at the Gun Sniper. It has seen all of its pilot's worst memories and knew of how the Yamanaka pilot had broken her friendship with Sakura and started tormenting her over a boy! One who has no interest in the platinum blonde to boot!

The Berserk Fury's eyes glowed a more intense red and seemed to glare at the enemy Guysak. Being an Ultimate X with an Organoid System, the Berserk Fury has the full range of emotions and sentience of any other living being, so it knows what Naruto and his friends have had to put up with all their lives. So it just crouched down as a means of challenging the opponent.

And through an unknowingly established bond with their Zoids, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura seemed to know exactly what they wanted.

"Alright, fine! You guys want a fight? You've got one!" Naruto declared.

"Yeah, you chased us all the way out here, so we don't have anything better to do. And besides, even if I wanted to back out, Geno Saurer wouldn't stand for it!" Sasuke said as a blank Zoid Gear was revealed to him.

He and his teammates began to enter their registration numbers, which their sensei Iruka Umino had given to them at the beginning of the year, into their new Zoid Computers. Naruto's registration number was 967A23, Sasuke had the number 968A24, and Sakura was number 969A25. And their registered leader was Naruto and his Berserk Fury.

Meanwhile, watching from nearby where three Zoids that each looked very powerful in their own right.

One of them is a black and gold Fox Type Zoid known as a Shadow Fox. Unlike most Shadow Foxes, this one was customized to have a Lightning Saix's boosters and Beam Cannons along with an 8-Missile Pod on each shoulder. The Uchiha crest was painted on the Zoid's sides to show that it was an Uchiha who was piloting it.

The second Zoid that was there is a Wolf Zoid that is much like the Command Wolf, only it's much more advanced. It's a Zoid known as a Konig Wolf, and this one is colored bronze, dull red and purple with green stabilizer knobs and a green canopy. This Konig Wolf, unlike most, is equipped with a Shadow Fox's standard weapon: the AZ 30mm Armor Piercing Laser Vulcan Gun. It also has a pair of Missile Pods on each shoulder. However, this Konig Wolf has the 'Red Fang' marks that are trademark to the Inuzuka Clan.

Finally, there's a Zoid that appears to be a far more advanced version of the Gun Sniper. This Zoid has a far stronger looking Sniper Rifle for a tail, more armor coating than the traditional Gun Sniper, and it had a blade-like crest on top of its head. This Zoid is a Snipe Master. And in addition to its Sniper Rifle, this Zoid is equipped with twin 360 degree turning Gatling Rifles and two side mounted Energy Shields. It's colored pink as a primary color for the body with dark red armor protecting it, and a yellow canopy. The Haruno Clan crest is painted on the sides of this Zoid.

The ones who are watching are none other than Mikoto Uchiha, Tsume Inuzuka and Mebuki Haruno. Itachi wanted to come along to make sure his brother would be safe, but unfortunately he and his Storm Sworder were needed on an important mission. Such is one of the downsides of being in the Anbu.

"Well Mikoto, I probably wouldn't believe you if I didn't see this with my own eyes." Tsume said with Kuromaru growling at what Kiba was doing. "I know Kiba doesn't like those three, but I didn't think he'd take things this far."

"Irrational hatred and pride tends to do that to people, Tsume. They're pretty much forcing my daughter and her friends to fight them!" Mebuki said to her friend.

"I don't know whether to go down and intervene before things go too far, or to just sit back and watch how this goes down." Mikoto admitted.

On one hand, Sasuke finding a powerful Zoid like a Geno Saurer actually got him some acknowledgement from his father, but on the other hand it also caused the animosity aimed at him by the villagers to increase. The same can be said for Naruto and Sakura.

But then again, even the stubborn and ignorant civilians of the village had to admit that those Zoids are a rare find. After the Death Saurer attacked the village all those years ago, the Tyrannosaurus Type Zoids had gone into hiding for fear of being destroyed. Not that any of the pilots could blame those Zoids.

"Let's just watch for now. If things get too out of hand, we'll step in and stop the battle." Mebuki suggested.

Back down at the battle site, Kiba was grinning arrogantly at the thought of taking the Geno Saurer from one of the 'three losers of the academy' as he calls them, but he knows that they'll need further incentive as to not run from this battle.

"You know something guys? Let's sweeten the deal." Kiba said.

This caught everyone's attention, and while Ino and Mizuki had a pretty good idea about what he was going to offer, they decided to let him speak.

"We're not so cruel as to not offer you something if you win this battle. So if your team wins, and I emphasis IF, you'll receive some prize money. Three times the normal." Kiba declared.

Naruto just growled at the 'mutt' and the Berserk Fury did the same.

"While the money would be good, I'm not in this fight for the money. I just want to keep Fury out of your claws!" Naruto growled.

"Same here with my Geno Saurer!" Sasuke added.

"Yeah, what they said!" Sakura finished.

With the parameters set, things began to get a little hectic for the two teams as the battle was ready to get underway.

The Judge Capsule opened up to reveal the cackling Dark Judge awaiting the signal to start the battle. The main differences between the Dark Judge and a regular 'White' Judge were the black pigment of its armor and the spiked visor that made up the upper half of its face.

"Well, well, well! This area is an unsanctioned battle issued by the Ranger Team! Battlefield set up! The Tyranno Team versus The Ranger Team. Battle Mode 0999. Ready…"

The Dark Judge spread his arms out wide and crossed them in front of him, saying one word before the gong sounded.

"FIGHT!"

Berserk Fury roared and put the pedal to the metal as it began running at the enemy with the Geno Saurer and the Psycho Geno Saurer not far behind.

"Spread out, gang! Pick your target and try to fight them one on one!" Naruto ordered.

"Got it! Good luck, Naruto!" Sakura replied.

"Kiba's going down in a big way!" Sasuke added.

The three Tyrannosaurus Type Zoids spread out with each one choosing a different target from each other. It's Geno Saurer versus Command Wolf, Psycho Geno Saurer versus Gun Sniper and Berserk Fury versus Guysak. In fact, the Berserk Fury didn't even need its thrusters and Ion Boosters to keep up with the smaller Scorpion Type Zoid as it ran with speeds that would make a speedy Rev Raptor green with envy.

But the Guysak was being piloted by a far more experience warrior, and Mizuki smirked cruelly as he got ready to implement his own plan of attack.

"I have no intention of taking your Zoid when I win, you little demon! I'll kill you and destroy your Zoid at the same time!" Mizuki declared maniacally.

The Guysak burrowed underground, thus eluding the Berserk Fury and forcing Naruto to stop the Fury and look around as he tried to locate the Guysak.

"Where the hell is he? I know he's around here somewhere!" Naruto said to himself.

He activated his radar system, but he couldn't find him. The radar was all fuzzy and he couldn't make out anything on it. This lead to only one logical explanation.

"Damn it, he's pulling a Missing Nin on me and using a jammer!" cursed Naruto.

He hissed through his teeth and began looking around for the Guysak while the Fury got its Buster Claws at the ready for anything. It was a Wild Zoid to begin with, and it had no need to worry about hidden enemies. But with an inexperienced pilot at the wheel, it had its doubts that Naruto would be able to handle even a weak Zoid like a Guysak. Even if it's been modified beyond normal parameters.

Naruto sighed and tried to keep calm. But memories of attacks on him, Sakura and Sasuke by these blank masked Anbu began rushing to the surface. But he had to stay calm for the Fury's sake.

"If I were a disgusting bug Zoid pilot, where would I…"

"SURPRISE!"

The Guysak burst up from the ground and clamped one of its claws on the Berserk Fury's ankles, effectively immobilizing it due to the surprising amount of strength the Zoid possesses. Fury roared in anger. The grip of the Guysak's claws didn't hurt or cause any damage, but it was annoying as hell! And Naruto was cursing himself for allowing this to happen.

"Well, lookey what I caught! A walking, talking demon brat!" Mizuki gloated.

He positioned the Guysak's tail to shoot the Fury's cockpit and possibly kill Naruto, but he didn't count on the Berserk Fury biting down on the tail just below the stinger!

"And lookey what I caught!" Naruto gloated in return.

The Guysak hissed as Mizuki struggled to get his Zoid's tail free, scowling a gritting his teeth the whole time.

"Oh no, not again!" Mizuki growled defiantly.

Wait, his Guysak's lost its tail before? When did that happen? And how did he get it repaired or replaced? Questions for later.

"So, what do you do with this… thing?" Naruto asked.

"I shoot people!" Mizuki answered.

"Where you seriously trying to shoot me with the intent to kill?" Naruto asked.

"N-No!" stuttered Mizuki.

But the Guysak was honest and nodded its stinger gun in a way that said 'yes'. So, with his Zoid foregoing lying, Mizuki decided to just tell the truth.

"Yes…" he said reluctantly.

The blue haired man cried out as his Zoid was suddenly pulled up from the ground by the tail, losing its grip on the Fury. He screamed as he and his Zoid were sent flying a ways through the air and grunted as his Guysak tumbled across the ground a couple of times. The Fury hissed as the Guysak struggled to get back up.

"You feel that?" Naruto asked. "That's what honesty feels like."

Meanwhile, Sasuke was shooting all over the place with his Geno Saurer's guns and was missing every shot as the surprisingly more agile Command Wolf was dodging every shot! Sasuke grunted as the Command Wolf stopped running and began to shoot at him with its Long Range Cannon.

The shots didn't hit the Zoid, but they hit close enough that Sasuke grunted and felt the force of the bullets.

"This stinks! How am I supposed to fight this guy if I can't land a single hit?! That Command Wolf is way too agile to be a normal Command Wolf!" Sasuke said to himself.

Suddenly, he felt the Geno Saurer take full control as it roared and did something he didn't expect.

The Geno Saurer activated a pair of thrusters in its lower legs and began to hover a bit above the ground before shooting towards the Command Wolf at speeds that Kiba didn't anticipate.

"WHAT THE-?!" he cried in shock.

The Inuzuka heir grunted in surprise and slight pain as his Command Wolf took a serious headbutt to the jaw from Sasuke's Geno Saurer, sending it to the ground! But the Geno Saurer wasn't finished yet. It growled and positioned the claws on its left arm in the direction of the Command Wolf and did something that further surprised everyone.

It shot its claws out on a long steel cable before grappling the shoulder armor of the Command Wolf! And like a fisherman fishing for salmon in a freshwater river, the Geno Saurer began to retract the cable back into its arm effectively reeling in the Command Wolf!

Then the Geno Saurer actually spun around on its heel and threw the Command Wolf against a nearby boulder that was sticking out of the ground before releasing the enemy Zoid and retracting its clawed hand back. It roared in challenge, daring the Wolf to get back up and challenge it.

Sasuke was stunned. The only Zoids he knew of that could grapple like that are the were the Assault Variant Elephander, the Dibison and the Iron Kong.

"That was amazing…!" Sasuke said in awe.

He grinned and began to rub the control panel of his Zoid in a way that a pet owner would rub their dog or cat's belly.

"Nice! Good boy!" praised Sasuke.

The Geno Saurer actually purred in response to that.

"OH, JUST TRY AND AVOID MY FIRE, FOREHEAD!" shouted Ino.

She was shooting at Sakura and her Psycho Geno Saurer with every bit of ammo she had, and Sakura was barely avoiding being hit. She growled in annoyance as she remembered all the times she'd be shot down by Ino when paired with her in tag matches at the academy. That dumb blonde girl has absolutely NO self control when it comes to Zoid Battles!

Of course, Sakura was forced to pilot an ordinary and heavily damaged Cannon Tortoise all those times, but still!

"Geez! Give her a bit of ammo and she goes nuts!" Sakura said to herself.

She managed to turn her Zoid around and fired a few missiles from the Missile Pods on the Psycho Geno Saurer's legs. In her opinion, it's better to just take precision shots. She doesn't spray and pray like Ino does.

Ino grunted as her Zoid was actually hit by four of the eight missiles that were launched at her. She growled in anger and got ready to attack again.

"You…! You're gonna pay for even THINKING about damaging my Gun Sniper! YA HEAR ME?!" screamed an irate Ino.

Soon, all three Tyrannosaurus Zoids were back to back with each other, staring at the enemy Zoids. It's clear that they were at a severe disadvantage against these guys, as they don't have enough experience in piloting their Zoids.

"Guys, if we've got any secret weapons up our sleeves, I'm open to suggestions!" Naruto said.

"Sorry Naruto, but I've got nothing! These guys are just too tough!" Sakura replied.

"Well, it's been nice knowing you guys." Sasuke said.

Suddenly, their Zoids roared and something began flashing on their screens. Our three heroes looked to their computers and noticed something being shown with diagrams and words. A hidden weapon that only their Zoids possess.

"Charged Particle Cannon…?" Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura asked simultaneously.

They yelped as their Zoids suddenly snapped themselves out straight. The segments of the Zoids tails fanned out to reveal vents and heat sinks while the Zoids opened their mouths to reveal hidden retractable gun barrels. All three Zoids lowered their footlocks/anchors to keep themselves from being damaged by the recoil of the attacked.

"Wha… What's going on?!" Mizuki asked.

"I don't know, but we better not wait to find out!" Ino replied.

Knowing their temporary teammate was right, all three of them readied their Zoids ultimate attacks just as purple energy began pooling within the mouths of the three enemy Zoids. Whatever those attacks are, the Ranger Team's not going to sit around waiting for them to use it!

"TAKE THIS, LOSERS! BARRAGE OF THE HOWLING WOLF!"

"SCORPION'S RAMPAGE!"

"WEASEL UNIT TOTAL ASSAULT!"

Three long ranged attacks of massive scale were shot at the Tyranno Team, closing in for the kill. But they were just a minute too late to launch the attacks.

The Berserk Fury, the Psycho Geno Saurer and the Geno Saurer all shot from their mouths large beams of pure condensed energy! The blasts easily overpowered the enemy's ultimate attacks and continued to travel towards the enemy.

Knowing that they couldn't hope to avoid such an attack in time, Kiba, Mizuki and Ino all did the one thing they knew they could do in this situation.

They screamed at the top of their lungs!

The blasts didn't hit their Zoids directly, but the damage was still done. Mizuki's Guysak's tail was shot off, the Gun Sniper lost the majority of its weapons and an arm, and the Command Wolf got its right foreleg and hind leg cut off!

There were three explosions from the rocks and trees that the Charged Particle Cannons hit and the Zoids roared in victory as the three enemy Zoids fell to the ground heavily damaged and with their computer systems frozen. Needless to say, the Dark Judge was not happy with the results of this battle.

"Wh-Wh-What?! But you can't! You! Ghg! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cried the Dark Judge as it threw a hissy fit. "Game over."

The Dark Judge sighed in depression and reluctantly raised its left hand, the one with the red panel, and declared the winner.

"The winner is… the Tyranno Team. Humph!"

The ending gong sounded just as the capsule closed and the Judge blasted off back into space to be collected by the Dark Judge Satellite.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura just stared up into the sky with big smiles on their faces. They won their first match as a team, they learned more from the experience, and now they know their flaws as Zoid Warriors and what to work on to become better!

They know that it's going to take time, but they know that someday they'll become the best team of Zoid Warriors ever!


*To Be Continued…*


Ending Narration (Sasuke): "The academy is where new ninja and Zoid pilots are trained from a young age, but it's never been good for any of us. And now that we have such powerful Zoids in our possession, the Civilian and Elder Council are pushing for us to either be dropped from the program or exiled from the Land of Fire!"

"...Wait a second, what's Lord Hokage got up his sleeve? I really don't like that grin he's got, because it's extra scary! Next time on The Tyranno Team; Hokage's Hand - A New Team Is Formed! Ready, FIGHT!"
