The Black Team
Chapter 7: A Little Surprise
"That was something..." Brad had just got back to the Hover Cargo with the damaged Shadow Fox. He jumped out and looked up toward it. "Fox, we managed to do the impossible. We beat the Black team before they could use the Strike Laser Rage on us." Shadow Fox nodded in agreement. Brad then left where the Shadow Fox was and went to where Bit, Leena and Jamie were, which was in the infirmary. He went to Jamie's bed first, since he was the closest and had just woken up.
"Oh, man...what happened?" At that moment, Brad sat at the edge of Jamie's bed.
"Are you all right, Jamie?" Jamie looked up in Brad's direction and smiled.
"Except for a headache, I'm fine...who won the battle?" Brad smiled.
"We did. The Black team took out Bit and Leena first." Jamie stared at Brad.
"But how...Bit's usually the last one to be taken out! How is that possible?" Brad sighed.
"Both the Terra'r and the Shadow Liger have an updated version of the Strike Laser Claw. They call it the Strike Laser Rage. What happens is both the front claws and the wings of both zoids start glowing with laser energy, then they strike their opponents with both claws and one of the wings. It nearly totaled the Liger Zero and the Gun Sniper. Now I didn't see what happened between you and Tesability, but Ligrina and the Shadow Liger went Elemixer on me. I took a picture of the Shadow Liger in the Elemixer armor. Here it is." He took out a picture that he had taken with his Polariod camera and handed it to Jamie.
"So this is what the Elemixer looks like. I wonder if it'll work on the Liger Zero..." Brad nodded.
"As I was saying, after going Elemixer, she had somehow fired wind, water and lightning at me. I was thrown into the side of a nearby mountain. As soon as she appeared almost directly above me, I fired at the chest of the Shadow Liger. It seems that I found a weak point in the armor, since she started falling. A few moments later, Tesability and the Terra'r brought you to where I was as the judge made his call, announcing the win of the Blitz team. When the call was made, I ended up staring at the Terra'r, since it looked like it hadn't gotten a Command System Freeze. She took the Raynos, the Gun Sniper and the Liger Zero back here, then brought the Shadow Liger back to the Shadow Cargo. The way both the Terra'r and the Raynos looked, it looked like the Wild Eagle rammed the Raynos into the Terra'r while it was getting ready to use the Strike Laser Rage." Jamie raised an eyebrow.
"Are you telling me that Shadow Fox was the last remaining zoid when the judge made his call?" Brad nodded. At that moment, Bit and Leena woke up. Bit winced at the pain in his chest.
"What happened? Who won?"
"Same here...I can't believe my Gun Sniper lost to its shadow..." At that moment, the doc walked in with Tesability and Ligrina. Tesability had a frown on her face.
"Sorry about the heavy roughhousing. Neither me nor Ligrina meant to come close to totaling your zoids. How about I fix your zoids for free? I can fix just about any zoid you can think of. I have even fixed Vega's Berserk Fury once." Everyone stared at Tesability. Brad stood up.
"You know Vega?" Tesability nodded.
"Yep. I noticed that there was a flaw in its organoid system that makes it go berserk if the pilot was knocked out, so I corrected it. Before I fixed it, the Berserk Fury was properly named." Everyone was speechless. That's when Leena got out of bed and started walking toward Tesability.
"You know how to fix an organoid system?" Tesability shrugged.
"I've known how ever since I can remember. I know more about zoids than anyone and I am not bragging. And most of what I know I was born knowing. It's one of my gifts." This time, even Ligrina was starting at Tesability.
"Born knowing? Blitz team, I have never known about this..." Tesability smirked.
"I'm going to go fix your zoids. And Bit, Leena? It may be a while before your zoids are up and running. The Liger Zero and the Gun Sniper escaped being totaled by a sliver. Ligrina, pilot the Shadow Cargo over to the hanger. We'll catch up with you later." Ligrina nodded and followed Tesability as she walked out of the room.
"Tell me I didn't hear that..." Bit fell back on the bed he was in. A child that could even fix an organoid system? That is something NO ONE can believe...
"Unfortunately, you did, Bit." Bit gave Jamie a glare at that statement.
"Thanks a lot..." You could hear the sarcasm in Bit's voice.
"Didn't that will say that she would be joining the Blitz team?" Brad, who was leaning on the wall beside Leena's bed, nodded.
"It did. That would mean that this team would have 5 zoids and 5 pilots, 6 each if Ligrina joins." Leena sighed.
"Rats. I was hoping that I could get even for coming close to totaling my Gun Sniper..."
"Maybe Tesability can think of a way for you two to fight in a zoid battle legally, even though you two are on the same team." Leena gave Jamie a demonic glare.
"Thank you for that idea, Jamie. I'll go talk to Tesability right now." At that moment, Leena walked out of the room and headed toward where the zoids were. Brad gave Jamie a deadly glare.
"Do you have any idea what kind of danger you have just put Tes in?" Jamie blushes.
"Oops." Bit rolled his eyes.
"'Oops' is right. If Leena gets her way, it'll be the Terra'r that gets totaled..." The doc nodded in agreement.
"Excuse me, I have to stop my daughter from committing a murder." The doc ran out of the room at that moment, coming close to catching up with his speedy daughter, but not fast enough to make it to where the Zoids, and Tesability & Ligrina, were.
"That was something..." Brad had just got back to the Hover Cargo with the damaged Shadow Fox. He jumped out and looked up toward it. "Fox, we managed to do the impossible. We beat the Black team before they could use the Strike Laser Rage on us." Shadow Fox nodded in agreement.
