Chapter 3
The Chaos of Carnage!
"OK, so it's settled! The team is called The Saga Team! Agreed?" "Agreed…" Donny had eventually won the fight. "And what happens if you die?" Jake asked as he smirked. "Then… then you can call it the Black Panther Team…" Donny sighed and the two walked out of the hanger area. "Well, we better get at least two or three more members. Were going to need attack Zoids, Defense Zoids, and Air Zoids." Jake continued. "And since we have a speed, and a maneuverability Zoids that's good with sneak attacks, all we need is some more Zoids." Jake said as they walked through the hallways of the station. "Well what about the team members having more than one Zoid?" Donny queried. "Well that might be something to think about."
The two kept walking through the station and looking at all the different stuff. "Oh! A Virtual Reality Zoids Sim!!" Donny said. He grabbed Jake by his collar and he pulled him to the machine. "Hey! What are you doing???" Jake yelled. "Making you fight me!" Donny said. He pushed Jake into the Sim and walked into the other door.
"Battle Mode 0999. Donny vs. Jake. Ready? Fight!" The judge yelled. Donny rushed forward in his simulated Shadow Fox and shot both of his machine guns at Jake. His Lightning Saix dodged and slashed Donny. "Grr! Nice shot!" Donny said. "But try and avoid this!" Two missile pods were revealed from the Shadow Fox's sides. A large machine appeared on his back from nowhere and he jumped up onto a large ledge. "Activating CP-13 Wild Weasel!" Donny said. His Shadow Fox aimed at the oncoming Lightning Saix and "Weasel Unit Total Assault!" Missiles and bullets shot from the Shadow Fox and hit around Lightning Saix. A huge explosion and smoke clouded the area.
"Now that's got to be worth at least 2000 target points!" Donny said happily. A large beam shot out of the smoke and destroyed the ledge he was standing on. "Oh no! I was helping him beat me! I made a smokescreen!" Donny said to himself as the Shadow Fox slammed down to the rocky ground. "The winner is… Jake!" Yelled the judge. "Aw… and I was so close too!!!" Donny yelled as he walked out of the simulator. "Nice match though. You must have earned at least 5000 target points." Jake smiled. "Now we should get some more members."
"I hear your looking for a new team member." Donny and Jake looked up to see a boy, around their age, with black hair and brown eyes. He had a black vest on and brown pants. "My names Cam. Cam David." Cam smiled and held out his resume. "Please accept my resume and look it over thoroughly." Donny read the resume. "Cam Crockett… 15… Zoid: Command Wolf AC custom? Custom?" Donny asked Cam. "Here's a pic I took yesterday." Cam handed Jake a picture of a black Command Wolf AC. "Let's see… it has Twin 80 mm Cannons, A CP-04 Attack Unit, Quad rear-facing smokescreen generators, and Hardened Alloy Strike Blades? Nice." Jake said. He handed Donny the picture and Donny examined it. "What time can you start?"
Unknown Location…
"I see they've acquired a new member. It'll be a fair fight now." The dark figure moved to the screen. Donny and his team were on it apparently they were being watched. "Why are we monitoring these newbies?"
"Because they have the mercenaries."
"That's not Goldberg is it?"
"It is. He's grown up Yanger."
"Ah. I haven't seen him for a while. I thought when we sent the Retro Team they would be finished."
"Not with his team member Knowles around."
"We should try and recruit him. The new one as well."
"Yes… once they're here Goldberg will come easily."
"And the Carnage will rule."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Stop laughing you idiot someone will here you."
"Yes Ms. Hulox."
The two figures departed from the Black Cargo and into the earth's atmosphere.
Back at the hanger…
"Go Command Wolf!" Cam was showing Jake and Donny his skills. "Fire AZ30 mm laser Vulcan cannon!!!" Donny yelled. They were using Verbal Controls to go easy on Cam. Cam quickly dodged the blasts and jumped up in the air. Cam quickly flipped a switch near the top of his control unit and his CP-04 fired a beam directly at Donny. "Nice shot!" Donny said. He quickly rolled out of the way. "That shot would have hit me!" Cam smiled. Smoke filled the field. "I see. Since the Command Wolf and the Shadow Fox are very similar and are like cousin Zoids, the Command Wolf has a smoke generator!" Donny said to himself.
"Command Wolf! Use your Hardened Alloy Strike Blades!" Cam yelled. "Not today!" Lightning Saix leapt into the side of the Command Wolf, freezing Cam's system. "Aw! That sucks! Nice hit though!" Cam said. He got out of the Command Wolf and took off his helmet. "Am I still on the team?" He asked. "Sure! You think losing to one of the world's best mercenaries will get you off the team? You can't get rid of us that easy!" Donny yelled. The three laughed and secured their Zoids.
The Hanger…
"So when are we going to apply to the Zoids Battle Commission for permission to be a team?" Donny asked Jake. "I think we should when we get five members. Then we'll have reserves." Jake said. "And we'll need one to be a strategy specialist." "Yeah, I mean I can make a good one or two but, I'm no specialist." Cam said. He sighed and sat down in the lounge with Jake and Donny. "Yeah. We hired you because you were a good fighter and a mechanic." Jake said, closing his eyes.
Outside…
"The Kongs are in position Ms. Hulox!" Yelled a man from the cockpit of an Iron Kong. Emma smiled and raised her hand. "Fire."
Back inside…
"So, who else are we—" But before Donny could finish, the wall crumbled with a huge boom as the three pilots fell to the ground. The large sound of Zoids footsteps was heard throughout the hanger. An Iron Kong with a smoking wrist gun was standing in front of the Saga Team. "Saga Team! Surrender your mercenary or we shall destroy you!" The Iron Kong yelled. "No way!" Donny yelled at the large Zoid. "Then prepare to die!" The Iron Kongs blasted at them, but they quickly ran.
"We need to get to the Zoid Hanger!" Cam yelled. "This way!" Jake led them down a shortcut that went straight to the hanger. A girl was in the hanger, admiring her new blue and white Gun Sniper when she saw the boys and heard a crash. "What's going on???" she called. "There are a bunch of Iron Kongs attacking the base!" yelled Cam. "Get in your Gun Sniper and help! They won't attack you! They're after us!" Jake yelled. "I suppose… it's a rather nice hanger." She said. She got into her Gun Sniper and booted it up.
"Nice Zoid." Donny said as he ran past her with his Shadow Fox. She smiled. "I like you! You have a team I could join?" she asked him. Jake's screen appeared on the right side of her cockpit. "THIS REALLY ISN'T THE TIME TO—" "Calm down Jake. Jake's right but were a new team called the Saga Team and we need new members! Now lets get those Kongs!" Donny yelled. His Shadow Fox picked up speed and was close behind Jake's Lightning Saix. Cam's Command Wolf was behind Donny and the girls Gun Sniper was behind him.
The four Zoids entered the hanger and saw the Iron Kongs. "Weasel Unit Total Assault!" Donny yelled. Missiles and bullets slammed into the first Iron Kong, knocking it over. It quickly got up and fired its wrist gun at Donny. "Oh no ya don't! Vulcan Cannon!" Donny yelled. The beam shot off the Kongs wrist gun and damaged its arm. Mean while, Jake was dealing with the second Iron Kong. "Come on slow poke!" He yelled as his Zoid sped around the enemy. Cam's Command Wolf grabbed a loose wire that had came out of the damage wall and ran it over to Jake.
"Here!" He yelled. Lightning Saix grabbed the cable and ran around the Kongs feet until it was tied up. The Kong tried to chase him but fell over and froze. But as this was happening, the girl's Gun Sniper was making quick work of the other Iron Kong. "And this and this and that!" She yelled, shooting random missiles. Donny saw a fourth Iron Kong sneaking up behind her. "Look out!" He yelled. She turned in time to see the Iron Kong's fist coming at her.
"Strike Laser Claw!" Donny jumped up and ripped the Kong's arm clear off. It landed and ran over to the girl. "You ok?" He asked. "My names Kristin Mahogany… and I'm fine…" She said. "So about applications…" She said, her Gun Sniper advancing on Donny. "Uh…" But before Donny and Kristin could do anything, another Zoid appeared. But this time, they knew there was no way to stop it with four Zoids. Emma Hulox at it's main cockpit. "I'd like you to meet, Ultrasaurus."
