First Attack

"Pamela, you're alive!" exclaimed Fara.

Pamela replied, "My mother, you know the one that died when I was five, turned out to be a Celic alien. I was just being returned to her, they never meant to harm me. Anyway, how's my old Dibison?"

"Leanna's piloting it," answered Julianna, "Let me tell you, next to her sister and brother-in-law, she's The Blitz Team's best pilot."

"Then her highness can keep it. I'm having more fun on maintenance and with my Zabat then I ever did on the ground in that mini-tank I call a Dibison," said Pamela.

Leanna laughed. "I remember you were quite the modifications freak. Just like Leena."

"I really love buying and testing new parts," replied Pamela, "About eleven years ago, my first Zoid, an Iron Kong I suped up, was destroyed by a zombie Spinosappa. Boy was I scared after that. But I got Dibison, and spruced it up after I got over my fears."

"Chainsaw man eh. It was actually just five thieves who made it look like there was one Zoid coming at you from anywhere. We beat them good," commented Naomi.

Leena nudged Naomi. "See…I'm not the only mod freak I know.

"But you're the craziest," replied Naomi. Then, both women began to laugh.

For the next few days, the crew of the ship along with The Blitz and Lightning Teams prepared endlessly for battle. Pamela used Celic technology to overhaul every one of their Zoids, so they'd perform at top condition. Lyla taught Bit and Leena some complex ways to use Ultimate Xs. And Toros took a class in Organoid creation and reproduction.

"There are two ways to create an Organoid," explained Margurita, "In ancient times, they were created jointly by the Celics and Ancient Zoidians. But when the Death Saur came to be, we Celics fled Zi and settled on an unhabitated planet we named Celine. Most records on Organoid creation were lost as well. Sometimes—about once every millenium—a pair of Organoids will spit out an energy seed. The two seed will merge, and form an egg. Eventually it will hatch into a baby Organoid with the characteristics of both parents. This phenomenon has yet to be explained."

Margurita looked up. She saw Toros playing with some models in the back of the room. "Well, at least I tried," she said.

About a week after the aliens arrived, a blip appeared on the radar. When Toros magnified it, a Whale King appeared. He put in communications, and Layon's face appeared.

"Toros, I'm here to get my revenge after all these years," he said.

"Whatever," replied Toros, "Name your price."

Layon answered, "Twenty times the normal amount. You can use as many Zoids as you want."

"Not even Harry would pay this amount," whispered Leena to Bit, "And that's saying something."

Bit replied, "He must not know we have all these new pilots, The Lightning Team, and a whole ship full of Zabats and Rev Raptors."

"Deal," said Brad, "We're ready when you are Layon."

"I'll return tomorrow with my allies and sleepers," replied Layon.

The next day, the nine Blitz Team Zoids and four Lightning Saix stood on the battlefield. Back at base, Pamela was preparing the Zabats and Rev Raptors, just in case. As well as the royal War Shark, Lightning Saix, and Pteras.

The Dark Judge landed. "The Blitz Team, oh and friends, vs. The Layon Team. Battle Mode…none. Ready…Fight."

Layon called Toros. "I never said you could ask for help from other teams," he complained.

"Well, you never said we couldn't, all you said was we could use as many Zoids as we want," replied Toros, "Besides, the only Zoids not registered on my team are the four Lightning Saix. We recruited a few helping hands ten years ago."

Layon grumbled as he sent out the Zoids. Most of them were just sleepers, but several contained Backdraft warriors inside. The Zoids he used were a group of Godos, with some Zabats for air combat.

Jamie and Fara went strait for the Zabats. They flew right on by at high speeds. Suddenly, Jamie exceeded the speed of sound, and became Wild Eagle. "Anybody want to fight?" asked WE. He immediately began taking out many Zoids.

The others were running circles around the Godos unit. As usual, Bit and Leena were in the thick of it with their Ultimate Xs. This time, they were in the Jager and Diana armors using Strike Laser Claw and Feather Bombs respectively.

After some time, all the Backdraft Zoids were down. But that didn't stop Layon. He lay a carpet fire volley over the battlefield, pinning down all the Zoids.

"Pamela, don't launch the Celic Zoids," called Toros, "They'll just get hit by the carpet fire. Are your ship's weapons functional?"

Pamela answered, "No, we never got around to fixing them. Besides, we ran out of ammo."

Toros prepared to throw in the towel. But just as he was about to call and surrender, shots rang out at the Whale King. When he looked at the source, he saw a golden Whale King coming over the mountains. Immediately, every Zoid on the field got their bearings and began firing as well.

"The battle is over. The winner is…The Blitz Team, and friends," groaned The Dark Judge. He then returned to the sky from whence he came. Layon fled as well.

Bit and Leena were the first on the scene as the Whale King opened. Inside was a woman with long blond hair and blue eyes. After her came a man with short Bit-style blond hair and green eyes. Both wore lab coats, but the woman's seemed to resemble a dress, while the man's looked like a jacket.

"Bit…is that you?" asked the woman.

Had to have Layon come for revenge sometime in my story. I just loved Toros's comeback. Now we know a little more about the Celics. They were an advanced society ten to twenty thousand years ago (I heard Chaotic Century is 4,000 years before this, but I don't know how long ago the fall of the Ancient Zoidians was). Their technology was so great, that they had the ability to travel in space, which is still not a part of Zian society today. Basically, I just wanted to explain where Ryo comes from.
