Chapter 4
The Liger Zero X
The four members of the Saga Team and their supposed new teammate stepped back in awe. "The Ultrasaurus is 27.5m high and is 50.0m in length…" Cam said. His Command Wolf was stopped dead In it's tracks. Donny looked at the amazing arsenals. "Four 360mm Cannons, 4 AAZ Surface-to-air/Surface-to- surface Missiles, Two 6-Shot AZ Rocket Pods, Dual Twin AAZ 100mm Forward- facing Cannons, Forward-facing grenade Launchers with 8 tubes, six AAZ 90mm air-defense cannons, dual tail-mounted AZ 120mm cannons, and various 20mm and 30mm cannons…"
The sheer size of the Zoid was incredible, with room for more than six people. And as they could see, five more pilots were in various cockpits on the Ultrasaurus. "Show time." Emma said smiling. "You and your little friends make quite the little Zoid club." Yanger said. He was clad in black armor and a helmet to match. "But you won't escape this time Goldberg." Yanger's custom Dibison emerged from behind and snorted triumphantly.
"Trapped," Said Yanger, certainly smirking under his helmet. "And to be killed… how does that feel?" Yanger taunted. "Why don't you tell us?" Jake asked, smiling. "Tsk, tsk, tsk… you thought we were the only ones here?" Donny asked. Yanger turned and gasped. Dozens of Zoids were behind him, all aimed for the Ultrasaurus and the rest of the Carnage Team. "Strike Laser Claw!" Donny yelled. Yanger turned just in time to see the claw slash its 17 mortar cannons off with one blow.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You think they can stop us? Well your mistaken." Asked Emma. "Send in the Liger Zero X. We'll see you guys later!" Emma said. She and the rest of the Carnage Team retreated from the hanger. "What did she say? The Liger Zero X?" Kristen asked. "That's a modified version of a transformation Zoid… only a handful in existence." Donny informed her. The other Zoid pilots had left and they were alone. "I see you've done your homework. SUPER STRIKE LASER CLAW!" A mysterious voice said to them. Cam, Jake, and Kristen were down in a glowing white flash.
"Guys are you OK!?" Donny asked. "Oh yeah. We're playing let's get hit by the Giant Evil Zoid!" Jake snapped. Donny looked up. A black, blue, and gold Zoid with a lion-like appearance was standing on a crumbling platform. It had ferocious claws and black bolts holding it together. With red eyes and extremely sharp teeth with a double barrel shot cannon and twin retractable energy blades, it was on Zoid not to run into in a dark alley. Two blades shot out from its side and its white claws began to glow gold. "Strike…" Donny heard.
The Shadow Fox jumped into the air just in time. A huge gash and broken cement were below, right where he had stood. "Bad move slick." The pilot of the Liger said. It fired its double barrel shot cannon at the Shadow Fox, sending it, dented and smoking, to the ground.
A monitor popped up in front of Donny, showing a laughing woman. "You know, for a kid you're the only one to ever come close to dodging my attacks." "Well do I get a medal or are we going to keep fighting!" Donny yelled back at her. "Well someone's in a bad mood." She said. "Go for the power component…" Jake muttered. He was badly injured. "Destroy the cables with Strike…Laser…" he said before closing his eyes and falling unconscious. "Grr… Your going down!" Donny yelled.
The woman quickly fired the shot cannon at Donny, but he dodged it. "I have to make it jump." Donny ran with Shadow Fox into another hanger, hiding under the platform. He jettisoned the CP-13 for more speed. The Liger quickly followed and jumped of the platform. There was a large high-speed chase, dodging past large Zoids and jumping over gaps that had crumbled bridges. Donny fired his Vulcan cannon at the Liger's underside, but only managed to send it off its balance. The Liger fell to the crumbling ground, but quickly recovered and dashed back at Donny.
"SUPER STRIKE LASER CLAW!!!" The woman yelled. Liger Zero X's claw slashed right past Donny, and Donny thought he had won with a Strike Laser Claw attack he sent at the neck of the Liger. But he was wrong. The twin blades opened, slicing off the Shadow Fox's right let. It let out a howl of pain and tumbled to the ground. "You monster!" Cam yelled at the Liger's pilot. "Well I see play time is over for Foxy Loxy." She said smirking. She aimed her shot impact cannon straight at Donny's power component. "Bye." Donny said to her, smirking.
The Lightning Saix was standing right behind her, gun smoking. "No! NO!" She yelled. The Liger's power component was smoking in front of the Liger as her cockpit darkened. "Well… that's all I can do…" Jake said, going out like a light.
The Gun Sniper ran after, finally catching up. "Yes! We won!" She yelled. "What do you mean WE?" Donny asked. "Well you and the Saga Team!" She said. She had a smirk on her face and her eyes grew wide. "Which now has a new member!" Se began to cackle and Donny sighed. He got up and walked over to the Liger. "This thing is strong…." Donny said to the cockpit. But Donny looked, and saw that she had escaped, without the Liger. Before they could capture it, the Liger was teleported up to a giant black War Shark.
A Few Days Later…
Donny, Cam, Jake, and Kristen walked through Margan Town, looking for some upgrades for the Zoids. They all laughed and Kristen crossed her arms when Cam teased about her Gun Sniper's speed. The Saga Team eventually found a shop that specialized in upgrades, and found something else…
"They're perfect! How much??" Donny asked the store manager. He was a large, broad shouldered man wearing an oily hat. Donny, Kristen, Cam, and Jake were looking at various things. Donny had his eye on a blue Blade Liger, Kristen wanted the Master Missile 4000, Cam stared at a deflector shield, while Jake was leaning on an extra jet booster for his Lightning Saix. "100,000 creds for all of them." "Oh no! We don't have that mush money!!!" Cam said. "Well come back when you win some battles!" The man yelled.
Outside…
"I think we should go into Battle Mode 0982 for the first fights, so we can practice more." Donny said to the Saga Team, they were all resting in the local repair shop to fix Shadow Fox. "Well, we could also go into mode 0992 to cover more ground using one on one battles…" Cam added. "But your idea was better. We'll do 0982 when we get better." The four of them still thought about the battles, and how to challenge someone. A team entered the shop, all of them around their age. The Saga Team looked at them and smirked. Donny walked up tom them and held out his hand. "Hi! Were the Saga Team!"
