Zoids: After Death
"Good mourning!" Mercutio smiled as he walked to breakfast.
"Sup Merc?" Ness threw down a couple of pancakes and stared at him.
"Whoa slow down." Kay smiled as she fixed another plate.
"Where's Tek?" Merc check around the kitchen for a second.
"Uhh? I think he went to work on his Gun Bluster." Kay looked out a window and nodded.
"You guys wanna do some training as a team today?" Merc shot a glance at kay.
"Team.." she pointed at herself." I'm not part of your team I just saved your ass and am trying to get you back on your feet." She chuckled and went back to breakfast.
"O i-i-i-i knew that I was just asking uh Ness...yeah thats it."
"Train? hows can you train, look at your hand." Ness pointed as he looked on.
"Hey you know what I can train, and we need to train so lets get outta here." He opened the front door grabbed his jacket and started walking for the Saix.
"Sorry, I'll keep in touch." Ness threw up two fingers as she struted out the front door.
The lightning saix cockpit opened and Merc sat down, he flicked switches as it lit up, he looked across from him and saw Blue Steel come to a stop next to it.
"Ready Ness?" Merc looked at her.
"Yeah lets gos." she turned on some music as she prepped for the trip.
"We got a long way to go, like three hundred miles or something."
"To easy, I'll race ya." Blue steel had already taken off as the lightning Saix charged out, Merc looked back and saw kay standing in the doorway.
"Hope they make it alright." She turned her back and walked into the house.
"Ness we're almost there, the champ complex is just two miles away." Mercs faced flashed over the communicator.
"My house gay looks like the bebop team lasted along time huh?" She slammed the console with her fist.
"Well you still have the champ team, maybe your dad needs help." Merc shrugged his shoulders.
"No hes got his robots." A tear formed in her eye.
"Hey I'll be back in a couple of years and theres always a spot on my team for you, but I gotta find out some answers to some questions."
"So its back to the old homestead."
"Hey don't look so down, and whatever you do dont hurt that pretty face of yours." He winked at her. she smiled as the complex door opened and blue steel walked in.
"Vanessa margaret champ, how could you just run off with some starnger." Leenas voice came over the comm as he ignited the boosters and sped as far away as possible.
One year later.....
!Today on zoid battle t.v., The first match is a battle between Gelra and The Force team, then we have a one on one match with, hey wait heres someone we haven't heard from lately Mercutio with his Blackhound zoid and the sec....................................!
Ness stopped paying attenion after she saw the picture of the zoid pilot and his name, the picture featured a stubble bearded young man with shoulder length hair but Ness recognized the face as Mercs and watched the battle intently.
"Blackhound? never heard of that." The zoid looked much like the shadow fox but had a larger head, the tail
was curved upward, and the gold accents were replaced by darkbrown, and the word Bebop was tagged on with red paint on the left side of the head.
"Referee please confirm." The space station hovered and broadcasted a to both the zoids.
"Referee 701 confirming battle between the bebop team, and the mitsu team will begin in 3-2-1 go."
The two zoids ran at each other as the blackhound came face to face with the mitsu's dibison. The dibison opened fired, the bullets whizzed past the blackhound as it fired three missiles into its hull.
!Oh that ones gotta hurt, that new zoid is looking pretty spiffy out there! The announcers voice broke the silence of ness's living room.
The blackhound ripped through the desert as it loaded its hell launcher.
"HELL LAUNCHER!" Mercs voice ripped through the tv speakers.The screen blinked as a barrage of shells hit the dibison.It fell and was out of commision.
!Now we go down to the battle field with Mercutio, hows it feel to know your making a come back in the big world of zoids?!
"Feels good, can't wait to get back to my friends and all that stuff." He smiled and chuckled a bit as he hammed it up with the announcer then loaded his zoid back in the Dragoon Nest transport.The giant crustacean made its way across the sand dunes.
Six months Later......
The giant complex had become bigger and started mass production of zoid armaments, accesories and zoids themselves.The inside became quiet as harry answered a call on the doors buzzer.
"Ness? yeah shes here what do you want with her?" Harry rushed out the question.
"I just came by to talk to her about the last year an a half."Merc smirked as the door raised and he was met by harry.
"You're gonna have to keep that thing out here."A ramp lowered from the dragoon nest as Merc walked down.
"I don't think we've met yet, i'm Mercutio Valmont." He extended his hand as harry gasped.
"What's wrong with your hand?"Harrys face went pale.
"Heh? Bout ninteen months ago it got shot, then I had to amputate it, and replace it with this." He held up the robotic piece of machinery that was his hand."Yeah but it really helps, I got tools and all kinds of things built in."
"Heh, yea real helpful.Ness your friends here!!" The shouts flew by as he ran.
"Friend whos here? Merc what are you doing here?" she raped her arms around him as he gasped for a breath."I been watching all ya battles, I liked that one last week where ya fought the Berserk fuhrer and took its head off."She smiled and looked at his hand but didn't seem to mind it.
"Hey calm down, hmm I see you've developed."he raised his brows.
"Hey, what happend with the hand?"She folded her arms across her chest.
"That sniper we ran into, I had to amputate." He shrugged.
"So....... whats the last year been like?" She leaned in the doorway.
"Not bad just gettin some questions answered, found out who my parents were."
"Really how?"
"Well after the sniper got my hand I traced the nearest backdraft group whaleking and infaltrated the whale king.After that I hacked into the computers and found out that my parents were farmers and owed the backdraft group money and thats why they were killed.I also learned that Bit knew my parents, and thats why the hover cargo was blown up."
"Wow cool."
"Come on let me show you the dragoon nest." The two walked together as they laughed about old times.
"Hey whats this doing here?" she stared at the body of a giant berserk fuhrer layed on the floor.
"Our mechanic down loaded some specs and built a recreation of the fuhrer but with minor add ons to the armor, Its called a Berserk Fuhrer Storm Unit, but its missing a power core."
"Wanna see my new zoid." She motioned for him to come to the garage.
"Heres my baby, its a Dark Spiner."The zoid stood in the middle of an open garage, its light blue and purple hull reflected off the lights, the large spines nearly touched the roof, its long elongated head reached past its stomach.
"Wow its beutiful, can you pilot it?" He stood in admiration.
"Yeah but it always seems to heat up after the first thirty seconds."
"Let me take a look." He opened a side panel and dove in, his armed spun and rotated as tools fluxed in and out and adjusted minor things."Ah ha I got it, the old cooler isnt producing enough output to cool down the whole thing, I suggest you add some vents or upgrade to a bigger cooler."
"Really? thats all? ok we'll get to work on that and when its ready I'll take on your berserk fuhrer aand if you win you get to keep the core I give you alright?"
"Alright its a deal." They shook and headed off to work on both their zoids.
