Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids…I don't own any of the characters on the show…

Oh, btw…I don't think there's gonna be much romance stuff in this fic…besides, it doesn't even talk much about the rest of the Blitz team…

Upon arriving at the base, Jamie was greeted by a sight that took his breath away. Hundreds…no…thousands of air zoids! All lined up, with a pilot alongside each one. He brought his Raynos in to land, and lined it up with the other zoids. A man came walking along, carrying a clipboard. "Soldier!"

"Huh? Oh, you mean me???"

"Of course! Don't stall, hurry up. I don't have all day. Name?"

"Jamie Hemeros."

"Zoid?"

"Raynos."

"Okay, Jamie, take your Raynos to that hangar over there. You'll be in Section 342, Division 3 basic training. Better, hurry, training starts in 5 minutes"

"What?!?! Basic training? But sir, I know how to pilot my Raynos…"

But the man had already walked off to the next pilot. Jamie sighed and walked his Raynos to the hangar the man had pointed out.

At the hangar, there were 19 other air zoids, with young pilots all talking amongst themselves, wondering what was going on. A Salamander circled above, then landed in front of the group. As the cockpit opened, an old man came out and addressed the group. "Welcome to basic training" the man sneered. "Here, you will learn to bring out the best in you, to pilot your zoids to their full potential and become the most elite warriors to ever live…if you don't drop out crying to your mommy before. I am Lieutenant Conner. You will address me and all of your superiors as Sir."

Over the 2 month training, they were drilled in flight maneuvers, formations, and air combat tactics. However, once they found out about Jamie's Wild Eagle alter ego, he was sent to see Lieutenant Conner. There, they made him break the sound barrier over and over. "Jamie, if you don't get that alter ego under control, you're gonna be kicked out and made my assistant until the end of the war." growled Conner. Jamie breathed deep, sitting in the cockpit. "Okay…focus, focus…concentrate…" Jamie pushed the Raynos past the sound barrier, and felt the similar rush and started to blank out. However, this time he breathed deep and felt his mind come back together. He still felt the similar wildness, but this time he was in control of the Wild Eagle, which let him pilot with the same skill, and not make the same reckless decisions. "Finally" be breathed with a sigh of relief. This "special training" had been breaking him down, but after he got control of the Wild Eagle he felt much better at high speeds.

A week later, he got the chance to go up for a little battle with another of the trainees, to see if they were ready to be put into a squadron. Jamie walked into the hangar to do some maintenance on his Raynos early that morning. "Well Raynos…here's our chance to get out of this training. If we win this battle, and make no mistakes…who knows what will lie ahead of us. So I'm counting on you, okay?" The Raynos replied with a high pitched squeal.

When he was just about finished fine tuning his Raynos and giving it a good wax for the battle, a voice boomed out over the intercom. "Jamie Hemeros, your battle will be starting in 15 minutes."

"Well Raynos…that's us. You ready?" "KRAWWWWWK" (lol, couldn't think of a good bird noise…) Jamie walked the Raynos into the launch area. As he set it up on the catapult, his palms were sweating. 'What's wrong with me? I've never felt like this before a battle before…sure I've been nervous, but not like this…focus…focus…' Calming himself down, Jamie found a good position and cleared his mind. As he wondered who his opponent was, he felt the electricity power up his zoid and sweep it off the catapult. He shot through the air and snapped out the Rayno's wings. Then he quickly looked to see who his opponent was. As he spun around, he saw a Pteras doing the same. Relieved that it wasn't a much more advanced zoid, he thought about how to beat the Pteras. The Raynos had a major advantage in speed, but the Pteras could still break Mach 2, so it would still be a threat. Its wings were lined with missiles, and it was easy to see that it held much more firepower than the Raynos. Jamie was hardly in the air when the Pteras let loose a salvo of rockets aimed straight at the Raynos. Jamie quickly put on a burst of speed and easily dodged the rockets. However, when Jamie turned around he silently cursed himself. Those rockets had just been launched to force him this way, where he found himself going head on with a missile that was 500 yards away and closing fast. He had been stupid to underestimate the Pteras so much…he was right in the position that the Pteras pilot wanted him in. The Pteras didn't even need to use any speed at all, if it just placed its weapons in the right places, Jamie would be dead meat. 'So his strategy is all about what how pilots react to missiles and rockets…if he can predict every move I make to evade his fire, he'll know just how to take me out…how do I beat him?' Jamies mind raced, as the missile raced on. 'I've got it…I just don't do what he expects!' a small smile came over his face. 'Okay…my first instinct was to pull up and circle around to get rid of this missile, which would throw it off course…but if I do that, I'm almost sure he'll fire at me.' Sure enough, the Pteras was high up in the air behind the Pteras, ready to barrage him from the position he would be in a few moments. Instead of pulling up, Jamie pushed his Raynos past the sound barrier and charged head on with the missile. 3 seconds before hitting, he slammed his controls to the right and did a barrel roll, passing the missile by a mere 10 feet. The sonic boom that followed knocked the missile into the ground. Then he pulled up into the air and circled high above the Pteras before suprising the pilot and diving down at the Pteras at full speed. The Pteras pilot narrowly dodged the charge, but before he could retaliate Jamie was behind him, firing for all he was worth. Not used to being barraged like this, the pilot had trouble dodging and was hit in the wing. Jamie grinned. After damaging the Pteras, it would be no problem to take him down. The Pteras slowly circled around and fired everything he had. However, without his careful planning, his shots were reckless and were easy for Jamie to evade. With a grin, Jamie pulled the trigger and watched as the Pteras crashed into the ground.

"Very nice, soldier' grunted a cranky Lieutenant Conner. "We've decided your squad, You'll be operating with the Fighting Falcons Division 18 Fighter Squad. Be proud…you've been placed among the best…who knows, they might find the Wild Eagle a valuable addition to their team."

"Th…Thank you, sir" Jamie was shocked, this was the closest thing to praise anyone had heard out of Lieutenant Conner.

The next morning, he went to meet his new team. He had heard many rumors of the Fighting Falcons, some said they were the strictest team around, others said they were telepaths who could psychically predict every move of the enemy, but no matter what the rumors were, it was clear that the Fighting Falcons were the best of the best. Each team had a Whale King and a robot that operated it, and that was their home. When he found the Fighting Falcon's Whale King, it had the zoids of the team parked outside it. One was a blue Raynos, the other was a red Raynos, and the last was a silver Storm Sworder. The last one took his breath away. Even though he had fought against Storm Sworders in his battle against the Backdraft, they were still rare. He brought in his Raynos to land. As he took the platform up to the door, he wondered what he would say. Conner's words echoed through his head. 'Always address your superiors by sir.' What would he say? 'Wild Eagle reporting, sir.' No, calling himself the Wild Eagle in a first meeting would make him seem cocky. Before he had a chance to think, he was there. He nervously rang the bell. "Come in!" yelled a voice over the intercom. He nervously opened the door of the Whale King and walked into the first room. To his surprise, the 2 warriors in the room were around his age, and they were playing a video game. "MUAHAHA! I'VE GOT YOU NOW!"

"OH YEAH? TAKE THIS! BRING IT ON!!"

"YA WANT A PIECE OF ME?" the girl jumped across the couch and knocked over the guy, who leapt back up before getting shoved into the floor.

"HEY Lenami! GET OFF!!!!AHHHHHHHH!"

"Hmph…gotcha Sekari…"

"Ahem" The warriors jumped off the floor and grinned sheepishly. Jamie was confused. So these were the great Sekari and Lemami he had been hearing about? He began to get nervous again, and before he could say anything Lenami shouted out "So you must be Jamie! HI! I'm Lenami, and this is Sekari!"

"An honor to meet you, sir and madam."

Sekari stood with a face of stone. "No Jamie, the honor is mine." Lenami suddenly stood like she was at a funeral, her face serious and grave. Suddenly, it began to redden, and tear, and then she burst out laughing fell on the floor, soon followed by Sekari.

Jamie's face reddened, and he felt like they thought insulting him was the funniest thing in the world. However, when Sekari saw Jamie's face, he immediately stood up. "Sorry, don't worry, we weren't laughing at you, just at the way you talked to us…'An honor to meet you'…Lieutenant Conner drilled that into you, didn't he. Speechless, Jamie gave him a little nod. Sekami explained "This isn't like the normal military…with the Fighting Falcons, we're your family. We're very casual with each other…as you might have seen," he added, blushing. Jamie was happy to hear this, but he was confused. "One question…shouldn't you have another warrior?"

"Oh, yeah…she's just getting out of the shower, I think."

From behind Sekami and Lenami, a door opened. They moved out of the way to show the warrior. What he saw made his jaw drop. "Pi…Pie…Pierce?!?!"
