Zoids: After Death

"My baby!" Leena's voice pratically broke the glass window as she looked at the fight that was about to unfold.

"Ready lightning Saix lets go." Mercutio blasted out of the sand as the lightning Saix zig and zagged out of fire from the sinker."Ha your gonne have to do better than that." The lightning Saix dipped low under two missiles.

"Better than that? Oops watch ya head." Ness said as she pointed behind him.

Mercutio looked around as the two missiles banked back around and slammed into the lightning Saix.

"Hey!"

"Alls fare in love and war." Ness gave a little wink as the Sinker floated forward and opened fired.

"Heh, she winked at me." Mercutio found himself dumb founded as he stared watching the sinker unload round after round into the black cat.

"Boys all the same." Ness smacked her self in the head as she continued to shoot him down.

"Hey kid pay attention, don't let the girl get you in a corner." Bit came up over the communication channel

"Right." Mercutio snapped out of his trance and ignited his ion boosters."Cannon blast." The two cannons blasted out two shots into the slow sinker.Mercutio dipped low using the low clearence to gain speed by being aero dynamic,"Laser strike claw!" Lightning Saix popped into the air bringing its claw down in the middle of the sinker.

The sinker was shoved down into the sand, it sucked up the sand in its exhaust and the engines sputred letting out clouds of smoke as it soon became out of commision.

"Hmmmmm good battle." Ness said as she jumped out of her cockpit, the wind blew her blonde hair back as she shook hands with Mercutio.

"So you're in?" Mercutio let go of his grasp on her hand.

"Yeah i'm in." She smiled and walked back towards the Hanger.

"Bit, she said shes in." Mercutio reported back over the intercom.

"Don't just stand there kid walk her back." Bit clicked off the intercom.

"Hey wait up." Mercutio ran up to her and walked still panting."Is that the zoid you're gonna use during battles?" Mercutio questioned.

"No I was just giving you a chance, maybe I over did it." Ness said as she passed a little glance towards Mercutio.

"Then what are you gonna use?"

"I'm gonna use a gunsniper."

"Gun sniper, you any good with it?"

"Good, psssh you haven't seen good until you see me and Blue Steel."

"Blue Steel?"

"Yeah I name my zoids don't you?"

"No I usually just go by what they're called."

"I give them names, it gives me a special bond with my zoid."

Mercutio shrugged his shoulders as they both walked into the hanger.

"Benjamin ready the truck and and go get our zoids." Ness comanded.

Benjamin jumped in a truck and pulled out of the hanger then quikly returned afterward pulling both zoids on a trailer.

"So wheres this Blue Steel?" Mercutio questioned as he looked around.

"This way." Ness motioned as she walked into a special hanger. The zoid sat in the middle of the room, its dark blue complexion reflected the lights, the two claws stuck upward out of the ankles, the chest housed a number of guns each concealed behind a rotating plate, the arms had the small armaments that all gun snipers had, the zoid had ion boosters attached to its shoulder blades, the sniper tail had been remodified to fire the shell harder and longer.

"Wow, what a zoid." Mercutio stood his head cocked up high looking at the zoid.

"Yes we have the startings of a team." Mercutio said as he walked around in the hover cargo.

"Mercutio please report to the tactics room." Doc's voice blaired over the loud speaker.

"Yeah doc?"

"You've got a zoid battle today against the bluster team today."

"Ok and your point is?"

"I just thought you might want to get ready because it starts in.." Doc looked at his watch." Ten minutes."

Mercutio's eyebrow twitched as he darted off toward the hanger and tried to make it on time.

"I made it." He looked around to find the hanger missing Blue Steel which he guessed already launched.He hoped in the Lightning Saix cockpit and took off.

"Am I late?" Mercutio questioned as the Lightning saix stood next to the Gun sniper.

"Just a little, the ref already made the announcement and there coming straight at us." Ness did a swift move and dodged a charging gunbluster.

"Look out!" Ness yelled out as the Kodiak charged and reared on its hind legs swiping at the Lightning Saix.

"Lets do this." Mercutio tilted the controls forward as it charged down the gun bluster."Laser strike claw!" The lightning saix claws glowwed as it dove into the air at the gunbluster, which retaleated with a barrage of machine gun shots that made the lightning saix float for a minute then blew it backwards onto the floor.

"Shit i'm taking a beating can't give up though." Ness said as she struck out at the kodiak with her front right claw then released fifteen shells into the kodiak leaving it dazed for a minute.

"Cannon blast! laser strike claw!" The two combined moves confused the gunbluster as it was soon out of commision after that move.

"Ahhh can't go on, ya gotta do it." Ness said as the gun sniper fell and was out of comission.

"Who is this?" Mercutio said as he switched to the intercom.

"Hmmm shes Kay, a twenty six year old zoid pilot, thats all we have sorry." Jaime's voice went dead as the kodiak roared and charged ripping through the lightning saix with its giant claw.

"Come on Saix." Mercutio spat out as the leg sparked and the Saix stood up again, the kodiak charged again."Laser strike claw!" The booster raised up as the Saix charged out lept into the air and sliced the kodiak across the head, the head sparked and it slumped down.

"The battle is over, the battle is over, the winner is the Bebop team." The judge pulled out of the ground and launched back up into the blue sky.

Mercutio hopped out of his Saix as he walked towards the downed kodiak.

"Hello!" His head cocked up towards the cockpit as it lifted open.

"Shit!" The female voice came out of the cockpit as mercutio stared up."Can't believe i lost to the kid." She jumped out and landed on the soft dirt, the skin tight black suit plumped her breast perfectly on her chest, as she strode forward each step she took her legs glistned in the setting sun.

"Good battle." She said as she stuck out her hand.
"Yeah you were a good a opponet."Mercutio hand stuck out but was met by a bullet. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!" He fell on the ground and wraithed in pain.

"What the hells going...." Her words were cut off by an explosion that shook the ground they stood on, she turned around and saw the hover cargo in flames, the core of the hovercargo exploded and sent out shrapnel everywhere."Lets gooo." She shouted as she grabbed mercutio's collar and pulled him behind the fallen kodiak. All three sat against the kodiak as bits and pieces of the hovercargo fell, the liger zeros head fell infront of them as jaimes pink boot sunk in the sand to the left.

"We gotta get outta here." Kay looked around and saw that the gunbluster was way ahead of them, it skidded infront of them and opened it's cockpit, the driver motioned and they put mercutio into the triceratops zoid.

"Take him to the nearest town and get help we'll get rid of the people that did this." Kay hopped into the lightning Saiz and Ness sat down in her gun sniper.

"Lets do it." Key blankly said as the gunbluster took off in the other direction.
