Chapter 3
Mar lied in his bed sound asleep. The last battle had taken a lot out of him. The Konig Wolf unusually reacted to what Mar was thinking to a battle and it strained the young pilot often physically and mentally. The last fight left a gash on his head, which throbbed and burned for the past days. He had been unable to sleep but now the pain was subsiding and he could rest his battered body but a dream plagued his mind. He rolled from side to side as he slept. The images he saw were that one zoid. The presents of that creature was a cold dark feeling. It was as if it was really a real creature with a dark sole. Mar's eyes watched the creature slowly as it came for him. In the battle he had fought before the charge particle gun powered up and fired. Mar just watched helplessly as the power came down upon him. Mar sat straight up, awake. His chest rose up and down his breathing was tense as well as his body. His brown hair fluttered over his eyes, as he looked around confused for a second. He let out a sigh as he clamed down, "Just a dream again."
Mar got up from his bed and got dressed. He picked up his bandana and wrapped it around his forehead to cover the gash. It was pretty early so he walked as lightly as he could to the front of the Hover Cargo. "I just have to be quiet and I won't wake."
"What are you doing!"
Mar nearly fell on his face. He looked over his shoulder to see Leena looking down at him with her hands on her waist, "Uh…I couldn't sleep. Don't think I'm sneaking food!"
"You're just like Bit stealing food at night. As if dinner you didn't eat enough."
"I wasn't stealing food!" Mar yelled. He could act like a child since he was one in a way. Out of the group he was only 16 years old. The rest were all in there 20's except for Jamie but he never acted his age anyways, Mar thought.
"Yeah I caught you sneaking around!"
"At lest I have some thought to not waking people up!"
"Would you both shut up!" Brad yelled from his room. "You know how early it is?!"
Brad got up and the three just started arguing with each other. Jamie stepped out into the main hallway just to seem them all yelling at each other. "Uh, what's happening here?"
"Nothing!" All three yelled at the same time.
Jamie chuckled to himself, "If you say so." He walked out headed to his own room. Mar just tiled his head and sighed as he walked off. He could still hear Leena yelling at him but he just shrugged it off. He stepped inside the main room to see Doc looking over some files. "Well you're up early."
Mar smiled as he sat down in one of chairs, "Can't sleep."
"Those dreams again?"
"Sure are." Mar said neutrally as he played with his fingers. He usually was an energetic type person but he was so tired.
"Well maybe…" Before he could finish what he was saying a red light flashed on the control panel near Mar. "Mar, the radar is picking something up."
Mar looked at the light a little afraid for some reason. He shook his head and pressed a couple of buttons. The screen turned on, and what Mar saw shocked him beyond his wildest dreams. It was the zoid that nearly killed him, the dino zoid with the one horn on its nose. The screen went black for a moment and then the pilot's face appeared on screen. "We finally meet again, Mar Azraff.
Mar was speechless. It was the same zoid and pilot. He was to shock to speak. The pilot smirked, as he heard nothing from the young man, "Well I see you have a new zoid How about a little revenge on me?"
The words were what triggered Mar. He narrowed his eyes as he clutched his fist. Doc got up from his chair and placed a hand on Mar shoulder, "Are you sure about this?"
Mar nodded still not speaking too much. His eyes burned with pain and anger from the last time they met. Doc looked at the screen as the pilot waited for an answer. "Who are you?"
"Me?" The pilot said as he pointed to himself, I'm part of the new Backdraft group. We have been re born. I am Abakan and this is my zoid the Ceratosaurus."
The zoid roared its challenging call. Mar's anger was swelling so much the Konig Wolf switched on and howled a challenging call back. Without a word, Mar swung over the bars to the stairs below. He ran all the way down the Hover Cargo until he reached the Konig Wolf, which was growling and swing its head angrily. Leena and Brad had managed to catch up with Mar but couldn't grab him since the youngster kept out of there reach. "Mar!" Leena yelled, "Don't go. You'll get killed. The Konig Wolf can't win against that thing."
The Konig Wolf snarled and stamped its foot down in objection. Mar looked over his shoulder with a cold stare. "We will do what is needed."
The Konig Wolf bent down far enough for Mar to jump in. He strapped himself in and placed his hands on the controls. He switches communications to the main channel to the Hover Cargo. "Open the side panel now!"
Jamie had just walked in above hearing Mars angry command. He looked to Doc who was hesitating to let Mar go. "Doc?"
"We can't stop him. Open the door."
"What!" Leena said as she burst through. Brad followed after her. "I can't believe what the kid is doing. He's going to get killed." Brad said as he watched the screen.
Mar and the Konig Wolf dropped them the Hover Cargo as the Ceratosaurus walked toward them. Abakan in the pilot seat grinned in satisfaction, "So you think you have the skills to beat me?"
"I do…so does the Konig Wolf."
"I must say you're brave. Even if that thing isn't an Ultimate X it still shows great power."
Konig Wolf growled answering Mar. 'What does he mean?'
"Not sure. If you're not how can I be talking to you?"
'That information is unknown to me' The Konig replied to Mar. 'Can you hear the Ceratosaurus?'
"Partly his words are muttered by Abakan but it seems to me the zoid wants to kill us."
'It won't happen.'
Abakan had noticed that Mar would mumble sometimes, "Are you scared?"
"No!"
"We'll see when we're done with you!"
Abakan jammed the controls forward for the boosters. The Ceratosaurus jumped in the air and busted in a blast of speed forward. The Konig Wolf and Mar didn't even have time to react when the Ceratosaurus bashed into the head of the Konig Wolf. Mar couldn't steady the Konig Wolf and they fell backwards. "Whoa that was fast."
"You haven't seen anything yet," Abakan said as the Ceratosaurus foot landed on the mid section of the Konig Wolf. Even with the top of the line armor, Mar could hear it creak under the pressure. It was just like there first battle. Mar pulled on the controls and closed his eyes. "Come on! Not this again!"
The Konig Wolf reacted to his yell and dug its front lets into the rocky ground and pulled forward, slipping under the Ceratosaurus as it head its foot up for a split second. Abakan was some what surprised by the move but he kept his cool. The Konig Wolf was damaged pretty well. The power was low and the zoid core had almost been damaged. Mar was breathing pretty hard since that was to close for comfort. "Come on Konig Wolf, we have to counter!"
The wolf howled as it charged forward. Abakan watched the wolf as it charged forward. "All right Ceratosaurus, wait for it…"
The dino zoid growled low as it waited for its command. Mar switch on some switches and the Konig Wolf began to speed up, "All right. I've been working on this attack."
The Konig Wolf leaped forward with its special designed claws with the extra support and power system in it. "Try and dodge our Duel law Attack!" As Mar spoke the words a bright flash emitted from the armor blinding Abakan and the Ceratosaurus."
"What!" Abakan said as he covered his eyes. The Konig Wolf tore off one of the arms of the Ceratosaurus and damaged its chest coverings. Sparks shot out everywhere. The Konig Wolf landed a few yards from the Ceratosaurus. It held its head up to see if the attack had stopped the creature. Meanwhile back at the Hover Cargo everyone was in shock except for Brad. "I knew that would work."
"What do you mean, you knew?" Jamie said with a questioning look. "Yeah when did the Konig Wolf have a special attack?" Doc said.
"Since Mar and I upgraded the Wolf." Brad said casually, "We canine pilots have to help each other out."
***
Mar was breathing hard as he watched the screen, "Did we get him?"
"Not quiet." Abakan said as the Ceratosaurus turned around. The Ceratosaurus roared its terrifying call as it stamped its feet into the rocky ground. Mar was shocked; there was no way a zoid could withstand that. The Konig Wolf growled back at the Ceratosaurus. Abakan was chuckling to himself in the cockpit, "I must say you are smart and a good pilot for someone so young but not good enough."
The Ceratosaurus ran forward for a charge. Mar pushed the controls forward, "We can do it…"
The Konig Wolf howled in approval and charged for the Ceratosaurus. "You have courage my young pilot but it won't be enough!"
The Ceratosaurus and the Konig Wolf leaped at each other at the same time colliding in mid air. It was a battle against who was stronger. The two struggled in mid air until finally the Konig Wolf was thrown back. It hit the ground hard tumbling several yards until it stopped. Mar held on the best he could but he was tossed around like a rag doll. Sparks and wires blew from the control board as he struggled to keep the Konig Wolf together. The system was overheating as well at the stabilizers to the Konig Wolf. They spun out of control as the Konig Wolf struggled to get up. The Ceratosaurus foot locks came down as its mouth opened up for a charge particle beam. "Remember this?"
"How can I not." Mar said in a casual tone, which he wasn't actually that calm about the situation.
"Nice knowing you…," the Ceratosaurus was just about to reach its peek to fire.
Back at the Hover Cargo Leena was jumping up and down about everything that was going on. "Dad! Get him to stop he's going to kill him!"
"Yeah Doc we have to do something." Jamie said as he spun around in his seat to face them. His face was twisted in a worrying look. Brad was starring at the screen worried as well but there was nothing to do. "We can't help him. We are to far away our zoids don't stand a chance against that thing…"
Leena was going to punch Brad when Jamie tackled her to the ground. The two were about to both hit each other when Doc stepped down, "Would you both stop it. Brad is right. It's all up to Mar now."
Mar was slumped over in the cockpit of the zoid. One of his shoulders he couldn't move. He guessed he busted it in the fall. He was bleeding pretty good as well as he lied back somehow awake. He saw everything the particle gun and the Ceratosaurus. "…I can hardly move."
'I can hardly move too.'
"Sorry Konig Wolf. I thought we could get them."
'No worries. We just didn't know what they can do next time we will be unbeatable.'
"…Yeah you're right."
"Good Bye!" Abakan yelled as he pulled back to fire. The beam shot out and it charged for the Konig Wolf. In a bright flash Abakan and even Leena and everyone else in the Hover Cargo had to cover their eyes to protect them from the bright flash. As the debris and steam settled down. The Konig Wolf was standing. Half of its armor had been blow completely away along with some major parts. It was crippled now but they were alive. Mar had manage to get the Konig Wolf up before the beam had hit but that was just luck and he was running out of it.
Abakan was somewhat shocked, "I am impressed you manage to get far enough away to not be destroyed by that. No matter this time I won't miss."
"Oh but you will." A voice said.
"Who is that?" Abakan said as he looked around.
"Look behind you."
Abakan turned around with the Ceratosaurus only to be met with a strike to the head from a Liger. Mar was about to pass what when he saw who it was. "Its…Bit…"
Brad and everyone in the Hover Cargo were shocked. It was indeed Bit Cloud. In his new and improved Liger 0. Except now it had evolved into the Liger Zero X. Its new sleek red armor shined in the sun as it stood over the Ceratosaurus. "I suggest you leave."
Abakan and the Ceratosaurus got up. "As you wish. I have nothing against you. Until we meet again Mar Azraff.."
Abakan disappeared over the horizon. The Hover Cargo began to move in to help the Konig Wolf. It had lowered itself slowly to the ground as it ejected Mar from the seat to the ground. The cockpit was overheating badly and Mar had passed out. He flopped on the floor almost lifeless while the Konig Wolf shut down. Bit and the Liger were first to reach him as he leaped down. He turned Mar over to examine him and that was the last thing Mar remembered.
The silence finally broke through Mar's mind. It was to quiet. His eyelids slowly opened to see Bit Cloud standing at the door. "So you're finally awake."
Mar was about to say something but found he didn't have then energy to do it just yet. Bit stepped inside more and took a seat. "You're lucky you're strong. A weaker person wouldn't have made through your injuries. Concussion, broken shoulder, and internal bleeding."
Mar rolled his eyes he had those things before just not all at once. He swallowed a gulp of air as he dew up enough strength to speak some, "Konig Wolf?"
"Don't worry. He's all fixed just waiting for you. You've been out for two weeks almost. Also what is your name? You seem to know mine but I don't know yours…"
Mar paused for a second, "You know it. You wouldn't have helped me if you didn't."
Bit chuckled to himself, "You are good at reading people."
"Why did you help me?"
"I saw you from a far. Liger also sensed you and I thought it be a great person to challenge but then I saw that other zoid that was trying to kill you. I just couldn't sit back and let that happen to the new blitz team member. Leena told me all about you."
Mar didn't say anything. He guessed Leena may have even given him the good word to Bit or did the complete opposite. Bit must of sensed his un easement as he shifted in his bed un comfortably.
"Mar, you have a long recovery so I'm going to re join the blitz team. I'll take your place while you're recovery. I also would like to mentor you in piloting since you are still young and are a little rusty."
Mar glanced from the corner of his eye. He wanted to say so many things out at once. Excited to be taught by one of the greatest zoid pilots but also angry to be saying he was rusty. After all what could Bit teach him? Bit was good and all but he had an Ultimate X and Mar was just relying on pure skill. Mar only nodded to let Bit know he accepted. Bit stood up with a nod and was heading toward the door when Mar spoke.
"Take me to the Konig Wolf."
Bit shook his head, "No way. It's the middle of the night and you need…"
"I need to see the Konig Wolf, now!" Mar yelled the best you could which was only a small pitch higher then when he was speaking at now.
Bit sighed, "All right only for a moment."
It was a short walk to the Cargo Bay at the base. Even though Mar knew he could see the Konig Wolf each step was so painful and it made him sick to the stomach as well. He did his best to cover his feelings so Bit wouldn't make him go back. They approached the Konig Wolf who was completely shut down. Mar looked at it and gently touched the metal of its foot. One touch caused it to wake up and its head turned to the side to see Mar. 'You are safe. Just as the Liger said.'
The Liger was next to the Konig Wolf and it growled something. Bit was about to tell Mar when he answered, "Don't worry Liger it's a short visit I'm heading back right away."
Mar turned to head back while Bit stood there stunned, "Hey, what just happened?"
Mar was almost to his room when Bit came running up finally. "Mar, you can hear zoids and I mean all zoids. Not just Ultimate X's."
Mar just looked back with a smile, "Sure, can't everyone?"
"No! How can you…I mean."
"I'm going to sleep. Ask me confusing questions later."
Mar shut his door before Bit could speak. He leaned himself against the cold metal door, "Nice guy and all asks to many questions. Long road ahead of us Konig Wolf but we'll have our battled again."
Mar lied in his bed sound asleep. The last battle had taken a lot out of him. The Konig Wolf unusually reacted to what Mar was thinking to a battle and it strained the young pilot often physically and mentally. The last fight left a gash on his head, which throbbed and burned for the past days.
