The Training

I don't own anything in this story except Tom himself, the storyline, the Tizer, and the GS Zero!

"TOM, HOW MUCH DID THIS COST?" Jamie and Doc Toros yelled after seeing the hot springs.

"Nothing, nothing, Washu did it for free." Tom cried.

"Okay, fine." Toros replied.

"Now listen up people!" Tom started. "We will begin our training tomorrow due to the fact that..." Just then, Toms (and everyone else) stomach growled. "We're low on food and most of us are probably starving. Know who would like to go?" No one raised their hands. "Ooookay, let's see, Sasumi, you and Leena go, and take your Gun Snipers."

The two looked at each other. "HUMPH!" They both huffed. "Alright."

Later

`Why did I have to get stuck with her, I wanted Bit. I have to talk to him so we can forgive each other.' Leena thought.

"Leena, do you see what I see up ahead?" Sasumi asked.

Leena looked up and saw a down zoid. "My God! I've seen that before, when Harry's robot Benjamin went lovesick over a judge. That's an ULTRASARUS!" Leena shouted.

"Let's check it out, there could be survivors." Sasumi motioned. The two climbed aboard. Sasumi checked the bridge while Leena checked the cockpit. Sure enough, there were, all alive too. They "dragged" the Ultrasarus back to the Hover Cargo (They took the food out of the zoid) and put the people in the sick bay.

"Well, that helps us even more on the attack, they can help from the back." Tom mentioned. "Now, let's start the training outside. I want to battle each of you again before I decide on who's training whom."

Later at the Backdraft HQ (Formally the Zoid Battle Commission HQ)

"We Finally did it. We're in total control thanks to Vega and the Super X!" Leyon cheered. "Way to go Vega!" He patted Vega on the back, but Vega pushed it off his shoulder. "Huh?"

"Don't ever touch me again, or I'll destroy you!" Vega shouted, scaring Leyon, but all of a sudden his head spun around and he changed. "Sorry, did I say something? Sarah, may I go take a nap, I extremely tired for some reason."

"Of course you can Vega." Sarah told him, Vega left the room. "Drat, so close." Sarah grumbled.

"What was so close? Why was Vega acting like that?" Leyon asked.

"The Berserk Fury as a Super X with the Shadow is trying to meld Vega into its previous owner, the great Raven. However he must stay in the BF for a long period of time, otherwise, after it's effect wears off, it'll have to start all over again." Sarah explained.

"I get it, when he starts to fully act like Raven, well be unstoppable. HAHAHAHAHA!" Leyon laughed.

`No you foul, it'll be just me and Vega in charge.'

Back at the training ground

"Now Jamie, I'm going to test you first. I'll pilot the Wing Zero in the Neo Bird Mode only and battle you." Tom explained.

"WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY, I'LL GET KILLED OUT THERE!" Jamie screamed.

"Nonsense, I heard you stop the Backdraft all by yourself, now lets fight." Tom said, and the battle began.

Jamie started to fly like mad, up and down, left and right. It was as if he didn't have a clue. "HELP, SOMEBODY HELP ME!" And he didn't.

"Jamie come on, speed up otherwise I will shoot you." Tom said, he was right behind Jamie.

Jamie had no choice. "THAT'S IT, I'M BAILING!" Just as soon as he said that, Tom shoot at the Raynos, it went pummeling down and Jamie was out cold.

"Oh, no. He's not going to make it." Sigma mentioned.

"Wait until he goes up to Mach Three." Bit mentioned. "Look!"

It happened, Jamie went up to Mach Three during the fall and, like during the battle with the Backdraft, mentioned. "Father." All of a sudden, his hands pulled the controls and made the Raynos pull up.

"Jamie, are you all right?" Tom asked.

"I'm fine but don't call me Jamie anymore." Tom was puzzled. "Call me the Wild Eagle." Jamie started to zoom past Tom, making a sonic boom, but Tom was only sent flying a short way. "Impressive, but now lets end this, courtesy of the Wild Eagle." He said loudly. He started to shoot at Tom, however Tom spun around until he was right behind the Wild Eagle.

"Now I've got you." Tom said. The Raynos was in locking position.

"I think not." The Wild Eagle said. He pulled up and was making a U-Turn. However Tom already planned on this and hit the reverse jets full power. When the Wild Eagle ended the U-Turn, Tom was still behind him. "What!"

"I think so!" Tom yelled, then he blew the Raynos down. This time he went down and crashed.

"The Wild Eagle lives on." Was all he said before he fainted in his zoid.

"Pierce, I take it you're up to his level, so I won't bother testing you." Tom said in a communicator. Pierce sighed with relief. "Yet." Tom mentioned. Pierce now sighed with disappointment. "Next will be Harry. Get ready Harry."

Harry came out in the black Iron Kong PK (from the first chapter) it was heavily modified to the max, it was easy to say it was the most powerful Iron Kong yet (Unless Washu got to it). Tom came out in the Liger Zero Tizer. "Lets do this." Harry said. "I am Harry Champ and I'm a man destined to be..." Before Harry could finish, Tom shot at him.

"Harry listen, and this goes to all of you as well, I know you guys have your own favorite catch phrases you love to say. That has to stop for the time being, what I just did to Harry is just what could happen if one of you do that in the big battle. Remember this is an all out attack, and it'll be very rare for individual battles. We are fighting to get through to the main base." Tom announced. "Now, let's continue. I know I didn't freeze your zoid Harry so get up."

Harry got up. "All right, you're going down now!" Harry yelled. Harry hit the jets on the Kongs back and rose in the air and then straight towards Tom. He began spinning in an "orbit" around Tom (pretty slowly actually), shooting him as well. Tom ran out of Harrys "orbit" around him and turned around, and then he ran right at Harry and rammed him hard, sending him flying. Harry got up and jet right at Tom giving him an uppercut. Tom was soaring, and he, guess what, activated his blades. This time, however, he didn't not do the Ultimate Saber Slash, instead he ran right towards Harry. Harry tried to move out of the way and, if this was the Blade Liger or the Schneider, he would have been safe and able to counter attack, but he wasn't. Tom sliced threw the Kong and nearly cut it in half.

"Wow, did you see that?" Bit asked.

"Yeah, I had no idea Harry had it in him." Leena said.

"Maybe it's because he's no longer obsessed with you." Brad mentioned.

"Yeah, that would do it." Kirkland replied.

"Okay, who's next?" Tom asked.

"We'll go as a team." Kirkland yelled. "Come on Zaber Team." Not long after, the three Saber Tiger zoids ran out of the Hover Cargo and ran towards Tom.

"Well, well. If it isn't the Fuzzy Panda Team." Tom said. The zoids fell anime style (like at the royal cup). "Come on, get up."

"You idiot, you froze our zoids." The three yelled.

"I froze them. As I recall, you're the ones who made them fall when I called you guys the..."

"Don't say it." They yelled.

"Don't let that get to you. So what if you're called that, the question is `Are you?'" Tom asked.

"NO!" They answered.

"There, now let's get those zoids fixed up and I'll battle you three later. Sigma, you're up instead." Tom replied.

Sigma came out in his Elephandor and got ready. "Let's get this over, finally I get to fight you in an actual zoid. You may be using a different armor on the Liger, one that I've never seen before, but it's still a Liger Zero nonetheless."

"Well then, let's not disappoint you." Tom said he came out in the white Liger Zero armor.

"You're using that armor. Well, I'll show you how I can defeat it." Sigma said.

"All right, show me." Tom replied. The Liger 2 ran right at the Elephandor, however Sigma raised its shield. Tom ran right into it and bounced off, but he could get up. "Not bad."

Sigma then activated the sword on the Elephandors trunk and tried to slice the Liger 2. Tom however was not surprised and dodged each swipe. "Impressive, very impressive." Sigma complimented. He deactivated the sword and started to shoot at Tom. Tom ran around and in zigzags, dodging each blast.

"What, he can dodge those attack with just the Liger white armor?" Bit asked.

"Yeah, he's faced Elephandors before." Sasumi said.

"WHAT, THERE'S MORE OF THOSE?" Leena yelled.

"Yep." Sasumi answered.

"You are by far the best Elephandor pilot I've met, but are you good enough to defeat me?" Tom asked.

"We'll soon find out." Sigma replied.

The Elephandor used its new jets to fly over the Tizer; Sigma was trying to crush Tom. Tom was able to run out of the way (The Elephandors weight made it move slowly). Then he used the Saber Claw Slash right in the trunk, the shield and sword were disabled. Sigma decided the blast Tom again. Tom was able to dodge most of them, but a big one connected, Tom was sent flying. Sigma began shooting him again and again, the Liger 2 fell and it didn't look like it was getting up.

"He won. SIGMA WON?" Bit yelled.

"Don't worry Bit, I'm not done yet." Tom replied. The Liger 2 jumped up and used its guns under its mouth to shoot the Elephandor, then he immediately Saber Claw Slashed him. Sigma froze. He was out. "I Won. Nice battle Sigma, you're going to need very little training. Sasumi get down here."

"Huh, what for?" She asked.

"The next battle is between you and me." Tom said. Sasumi was puzzled. "Against Bit and Leena."

That changed everything. "Alright, a rematch." Sasumi AND Leena shouted.

`Final I can apologize to him/her.' Bit and Leena thought simultaneously.

This time a judge was used since it was a big fight.

"The area within an 50 mile radius is a designated Zoid Battlefield. This zone is now restricted. Only competitors and personnel have authorized entry. Danger! All others must leave the area at once. Area scanned. Battlefield set up. The Liger Zero and Gun Sniper Zero vs. the Liger Zero 2 and Gun Sniper Zero 2. Battle Mode 0982. Ready...FIGHT." The judge announced.

"Just to make it interesting, all armors are allowed." Tom announced.

This made Leena happy. "GREAT, I'LL USE THE REXZER ARMOR! SASUMI, YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE WAY THEY CALL ME TRIGGER HAPPY!" She yelled.

"I'll use the Schneider just in case." Bit said.

Tom and Sasumi came out in the white armors. "Hey, I said they were optional, not mandatory."

`He's not using the Tizer, then I'll use the Jaeger instead.' Bit thought.

`He'll probably use the Jaeger instead seeing as how I'm not using the Tizer.' Tom thought. `Got to be careful.'

"Okay, get ready to launch Liger Zero Jaeger. Go Jaeger." Tom yelled.

"Okay, get ready to launch Gun Sniper Zero Rexzer. Go Rexzer." Leena Yelled.

"Uh, is this battle going to start before my energy cells run out?" The judge asked.

"Lets get down." Tom yelled.

Leena remembered not to waste all of her ammo. Instead she fired short burst, then she ran up to Sasumi and tail whipped her. Sasumi was able to rotate her Zoid in a cannonball movement and land back on her feet. "WOW!" Leena gasped.

"What's wrong Leena, afraid I'll embarrass you in front of Bit and lose him forever, lover girl?" Sasumi asked with a laugh.

Leena snapped. "Eat this! Devastation Weasel Assault!" Leena shot everything she had at Sasumi, but she didn't knock her out. "Damn, I better get the Comzer armor now. Bit, stay together until I get back." Leena ran to the Hover Cargo.

Bit was too busy to listen to her anyway. "Tom, let see if you can stop the speed of my Jaeger with just the Liger Armor. I've always wanted to see which was better."

"Yeah, me too." Tom replied. Bit immediately ran at what seemed to be full speed at Tom, normally he would have rammed him head on, but, to everyone surprise, Tom jumped out of the way and ran at the Liger. Tom was amazingly able to keep neck and neck with the Jaeger. Bit was speechless. "Surprise? Don't be, the Jaeger is capable of being one of the fastest zoids made. Like Leon's told you, try for your unlimited potential." Tom then rammed Bit down. Just then Leena came out in the Comzer and ran right at Sasumi.

"Take this bitch." Leena yelled. She rammed her down and started slashing her like crazy (she was still mad) Sasumi was out. "Now I have to help Bit." And she ran over. Tom was about to freeze Bit with a laser attack from his gun, however Leena jumped the GS Zero in the way. She was out and badly since it was at point black range.

"LEENA, WHY'D YOU DO THAT?" Bit yelled.

"I imagined it was for real." Leena coughed (She was hurt real badly).

`Finally, first Leon now Leena understand. Like brother like sister I guess. I hope Bit will realize that next.' Tom thought. "Let's stop for now." He said and turned around and walked off.

Bit wasn't done yet, he jumped and Saber Claw Slashed him in the back. "If this was real, that's what I'd do." He growled.

`He learned sooner that I thought.' Tom thought.

Later in Sickbay

"How is she?" Bit asked. Leena was still unconscious.

"She'll be okay. She's not as bad as I was weeks ago." Tom said.

"Tom, I'll be right back. I've got some unfinished business to attend to." Bit said.

"What unfin...Oh, I get it. You go man." Tom said with a wink.

Bit ran to the Jaeger and ran to the nearest town. He ran to a jewelry shop and ran to the clerk.

"How much is your best engagement ring?" he asked.

Will Bit pop the question? What will Leena say? Will the Union hold together? Will they succeed? Find out next time on Blitz Zero. For me to continue, just wait. Since not many people are sending me a lot of reviews when I ask them to. I'll see what'll happen when I don't ask them to. Please R&R even when I'm not on the first page.
