"So? This is the famous Blitz team?" a new voice cut over the radio

link. "YEAH! Who might you be!" Leena retorted angrily, the Gunsniper X

rising. It had black and silver armor, nearly impenetrable. It packed six 8-

packs of missiles, three on either side of its body. It had a short misty-gray

gun attached to either arm, and a massive automatic cannon on either

shoulder. It actually had two tails, one that carried the Gunsniper's Wild

Weasel component, the other which was like the tail on Naomi's Gunsniper,

the Red Comet. Leena hoped that someday she and Bit... "Nice toys, let me

show you what real power can do." Ryan said, interrupting her daydream

and jerking Leena back into reality. "Strike Laser Claw!" Ryan yelled as

Griffon's claws glowed a bright orange and Griffon jumped into the sky,

slashing. With a loud echoing noise Shadowfox's machine gun turret was

sheared off, and Raynos' right wing had three large gouges on it. Defeated,

the Raynos fluttered to the ground, stumbling to get a good footing. "Why

you little..." Bit and Liger Zero in Panzer armor raced angrily at Griffon.

Griffon nimbly leapt over Panzer's charge and twisted so he was facing

Liger. Instantly Bit spun to aim his Hybrid Cannon straight at Griffon, then

he saw the ball of energy accumulating at the tip of Griffon's tail. As the ball

of energy expanded the tail pointed straight at the Panzer as Griffon landed

on the ground. "Tail Particle Beam Cannon!" Ryan shouted as the Beam

Cannon locked on and fired. The long stream of energy sheared off Liger's

two rear legs. "Damn you!" Bit shouted at Ryan. "Just who are you

anyway?" Doc Tauros asked. "I am Ryan Wilson, and this is my Griffon!"

Ryan replied. "Not for long!" Leena shouted as she readied the Wild Weasel

Total Assault attack. All of the crosshairs appeared on the screen and locked

onto the Griffon. "Wild Weasel Total Assault!" Leena yelled and fired. The

massive cloud of missiles flew into the sky before zeroing in on the Griffon.

"Tail Particle Beam Cannon!" Ryan yelled again as the blast issued from

Griffon's tail and blew up every single incoming missile, creating a veil of

smoke. "Got you!" Leena cried as her Sniper Tail went rigid as the GSX

turned its back to the Griffon. Leena pulled a scope connected to a swinging

metal arm from behind her seat and looked into it. With tiny movements of a

small joystick, she settled the crosshairs on the Griffon's silhouetted right

front leg. She was about to fire when she noticed Griffon calmly strolling

out of the smoke. A black tube reared up between the two wings and Leena

got an idea. She adjusted her aim and fired, her high-caliber projectile hitting

the tube near the top, bending it. "Damn, 40mm grenade gone, just leaves

the heatseeker missiles. Huh?" A small black message box had appeared in

the upper write hand corner, and in white letters, it said the words "Try the

Sonic Wing Blade." "Ok, there's the Wing Blade, and then there's the Sonic

Wing Blade, which is it?" Ryan said, now just plain confused. In response to

his question, Griffon swung his wings forward so the metal feathers pointed

at the GSX. The feathers closest to the inside began to glow a bright

sapphire blue. "Sonic Wing Blade, Fire!" Ryan said as a pair of orange

crosshairs appeared on the screen and settled on the mid-section of the GSX.

"Bye Bye, Miss American Pie." Ryan said the opening lines to the song

before he thumbed the button to fire the Sonic Wing Blade. At the exact

same time, several projectiles slammed into Griffon's side, knocking him

over. As a result the Sonic Wing Blade narrowly missed the GSX, but it hit

the fallen Raynos. "One down, three to go." Ryan said over the comm-link.

He made it two to go when he hit the Shadowfox with another Sonic Wing

Blade. He looked over at the helpless GSX and smiled. He would make this

one quick. He aimed and fired the Sonic Wing Blade at the exact same time

twin plasma beams hit his Griffon. "Damnit!" Ryan and Leena both yelled

as the words "Command System Freeze" appeared on their screens in the

cockpit. "Great job team!" Doc cheered from the Hovercargo, because Bit

hadn't been frozen and that meant the Blitz Team had won. Suddenly a rain

of missiles hit the ground, exploding in huge puffs of dislodged earth and

rock. "The Backdraft group!" Doc shouted. "Haha! You are mine THIS time

Tauros." The voice coming from the Whale King high above was

unmistakable as Dr. Leon's. "Sorry buddy, this time, YOU are going down

yet again." A new voice said. All eyes and radar's turned to ANOTHER

Whale King entering the area. The underbelly split open and a platform

lowered, the shadowy outline of a Raynos visible.

(A new ally has showed up, and he's also apparently an ace pilot. Find out

who he is next chapter. The Black Raynos, Arrival of the Storm Eagle.
