************************************
One night, at a battlefield, 4 Dark Horns were walking around, searching for their opponent. The judge, from afar, watched and looked at the wrist of his hand as if he was looking at a watch. As they passed, one of the Dark Horns' foot was trapped in the sand. Unable to get up, the Zoid struggled as something clamped onto the leg that sunk into the sand.
pilot: Help me!!!
It was no use. The other Dark Horns were being attacked by three other Zoids. They decided to run away, hoping to not get wrecked by whoever's attacking them. While the sunken Dark Horn tried to get up, its leg started to slide to a nearby cliff, dragging the rest of the Zoid with it. The other Dark Horns split to three directions, hoping that one will be safe from the attack. As one of the Dark Horns looked around, another Zoid rammed into it and flung it into the air. The opposing Zoid then turned around and blasted it with its powerful back cannons. The Zoid that has blown up the first Dark Horn quickly ran to its teammate's aid. The pilot then started to speak.
???: (femanine) I'm comming to help.
Another Dark Horn was running and nothing was after it. The running Zoid then slowed down and stopped. It was standing by a cliff, and on that cliff was another Zoid that fired every single missle that targeted the Dark Horn. The Zoid then got up and ran (not that fast) to the two remaining Dark Horns. He then spoke.
???: (masculine voice) Hold on and let me be the hero!
One more Dark Horn was running while someone was shooting it. The problem was that whatever was shooting it wasn't able to be seen. Glowing Blades then popped out of nowhere and ran through the running Zoid, cutting it in half. The blades then disappeared and flew to the last Dark Horn.
???: (masculinely mature voice) I'm going to help also.
All three Zoids came back to see the remaining Zoid sliding through the desert and bashing into the nearby cliff and then moving it around the desert again. As soon as the last bash to the cliff occured, the Dark Horn just stayed there as a Zoid popped out of the sand and blasted it with all the missles it had.
Judge: The battle is over! The battle is over! The winner is....... The Alpha team!!
Yes. It is the Alpha team. Some of you would've figure that out by now. Anyway, the Zoids were the Iron Monkey: Griffen, the balck Dibison, the stealth Stormsworder and the Neo Warshark. Craig didn't feel like using the Shadow Hell Saix for tonight.
Craig: So how was I?
Max: That was a great finisher.
Anne: Next time, I should to the finish! I have a cool name for it!
Larry: The Megalo Max? (laughing) You named it after Max?
Anne: It was always like that!
Layon: (everyone hears him) Okay team! That was a sweet victory! We'll win the tournament in no time!
The next night, somewhere around the desert stood a landed Whale King (they need to save on the fuel). And down there, the Zoid battle commission gave the Alpha team a new opponent. What was on the computer screen was something that attracted a whole lot of attention. Everyone was fighting over it. Max was looking at it, while Anne shoved his face away. Then Craig lifted his head above Anne's and Larry pushed everyone away and looked at it.
Larry: The Lightning team?
Max: Again?
Anne: You faced them before?
Max: Just one on one with Jack Sisco.
Layon: You know, if you look at their records, you'll see that they beat the Blitz team and many different kinds of teams in the A class.
Craig: And NOW they want to challenge us?
Layon: This time, it's at 0982. So be careful.
Larry: Ok then....
Craig: So who else is on the team again?
Layon: Chris and Kelly Tasker.
Larry: (in a monotone of voice) Jack must be a lucky guy.......
Max: And to think they beat the Blitz team...
Layon: Since it's 0982, we can only use 3 Zoids. So Max, Larry and Craig, get your fastest Zoids.
Anne: (screaming) WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS OUT ON THE BATTLES!!! I'M A ZOID PILOT!! NOT A MODEL THAT EVERYONE CAN LOOK AT!!!
Layon: And Anne will be cooking our noodles for tonight.
Anne: WHAT!!!
Layon: You heard me. Now make my noodles!
Anne: (angry, frustrated and extremely pissed) FINE!!
And with that, the model - I mean girl went to the food storage room to get some noodles. The others were just starting to lay out a stratagy. Craig stated that the Iron Monkey should go with the Griffen wings while the SSS goes do his thing. Craig will grab the Shadow Hell Saix.
Craig: So who get who?
Max: I'll take Jack on.
Craig: No wait! I'll take Jack!
Max: You're not the leader! You don't get Jack!
Craig: What about you? You're no leader! I get Jack!
Layon: I'm the Leader and I say that Larry gets Jack.
Larry: Me? Why?
Layon: It seems logical. To punish them both, they'll take on the Tasker sisters.
Max: But I have the speed! Remember the one on one battle?
Craig: But I have the Shadow Hell Saix! It's like the fastest Zoid ever!
Layon: Well Larry doesn't wine as much as you. So he gets it.
Larry: (whispers) I'll give it to Max.
Craig: Hey!
Max: (laughs victoriously) Zero points for the half pint!
Craig: I'll show you who's the half pint after I'm through with you!
Before a brawl started, Anne walked through the door with a chef's hat and a pot in her hand. Everyone stopped for her to announce that their dinner is ready. But instead of a good old," Dinner's ready! Come and get it!" They got something else.
Anne: We're out of noodles.
Layon: (snapping and freaking out) WHAT!!!! LARRY!!! GET NOODLES NOW!!! MUST HAVE NOODLES!!!
Larry: Me!?
Craig: You better go get some noodles now or else.
Larry: ....... Fine.
Somewhere above the cliffs stood the base of the Lightning team. And in that base was Jack Sisco, who was playing some cards. And the ones who were playing cards with him were the Tasker sisters. They were "preparing" their match with the Alpha team, the ones who were succesfully winning every single match. The only Zoid they have to be worried about was the Iron Monkey. The Dibison was too slow and the battle was at daytime, so the stealth Stormsworder was no threat.
Kelly: Staight!
Chris: Full house!
Jack: 4 of a kind.
Chris: Again?
Kelly: I think you're cheating!
Jack: (takes a look at his cup nearby) Well I think you need to buy some drinks.
Kelly: No way I'm going!
Chris: Why don't you go, Jack?
Jack: How about this. The loser of the next round gets the drinks. Ok?
Chris and Kelly: Ok!
A few minutes later, the "older brother" of the team was about to go to his stealth Stormsworder. But then Craig stopped him. The now called, "little brother" of the group looked at Larry as he also looked at the young boy.
Larry: What do you want?
Craig: Your Zoid'll attract attention. I'll take you with the Shadow Hell Saix.
The young man then thought about what Craig said. He did have a stealth Stormsworder, but it wasn't really stealth. So he agreed with Craig and mobilized the Shadow Hell Saix. While running into town, Larry and Craig started a conversation.
Craig: You don't seem to be yourself. Anything wrong?
Larry: No. I just have something on my mind.
Craig: Really? Like what?
Larry: If your family..
Craig: Let's not go to the whole family thing .. ok?
Larry: Ok.. In the past, I left the whole Champ thing for many different reasons. And the fact that you had to be married somewhere after eighteen was one of them.
Craig: But you're seventeen.
Larry: I thought about this years before. And I left them for the Backdraft group.
Craig: So that's how you knew that glasses guy?
Larry: Now my adulthood is coming in a few and I'm starting to doubt myself. Did I really make the right choice?
Craig: You're saying that no one will ever love you?
Larry: ... Something like that.
Craig: Well there's always the Alpha team.
Larry: ....... I guess you're right.
Craig: Until then, let's go get some noodles.
At a nearby town, the Shadow Hell Saix went to stealth mode and lied down around a nearby town, Larry got out and left Craig. Hey! If they both leave, how will they find the Zoid? Besides, the boy needed some sleep.
Larry:* Well. Time to go to the store... Maybe I'll find something that has something for me to do.*
Minutes later, the boy was at a store, picking up a box of noodles. It was kind of embarassing because he was loading his shopping cart with noodles. Some of the shoppers then started to think if eats anything else in his life.
Larry: *Note to self... next time wear sunglasses and a trench coat.*
Thinking off all the money he had in his pocket, he then thought of getting a drink. He needed one! Ever since he joined the team, all he's been drinking was noodle soup. He then went to the aisle where he saw the drinks. Larry then walked to a soda and grabbed it, but at the same time someone else grabbed it.
???: Gimmie!
Larry: I got it first!
???: It's mine!!!
The mystery person then pulled it to his/her direction and pushed over the young man. The person then tossed into a nearby cart. It was Kelly. She lost with a 7 high, so now she's stuck with the whole thing. She just wanted this to be quick and fast.
Larry: Why didn't you just go get the others!
Kelly: (looks at Larry) * ..... Hello!! * Sorry. I'm just in a bad mood.
Larry: Oh really?
Kelly: Yeah. I lost in a game and now I'm stuck buying drinks.
Larry: Well that kinda sucks... I've been told to get some noodles. And I didn't get a chance to reason out.
Kelly: (looks at Larry's cart) You call 50 cups ,"some"?
Larry: My coach is a noodle-addict.
Kelly: I see....
Now that she calmed down, she started to look at the boy she knocked down. What the boy was wearing was a really expensive grey shirt with black pants. She also noticed that he was wearing a necklace that had a wolf on it. Absolutly forgotting about what she did, she grabs for Larry's hand and lifts him off of the ground. The boy then dusts himself off.
Kelly: You must have class, considering you have all these nice clothes.
Larry: It's nothing. I just bought them myself.
Kelly: I gotta get going now. And what's your name?
Larry: Larry Champ.
Kelly: Nice meeting you, Larry! Later!
And with then, the girl of the Lightning team departed from the boy of the Alpha team. Larry had absolutly no idea on what just happened. So he just went up for a new drink and put in it his cart. While going back to the Whale King, Larry and Craig were sitting there, in silence. Craig then broke it.
Craig: Still bummin?
Larry: No. I'm feeling a little bit better.
Craig: Good to hear that. I hope you're as glad as me.
Larry: Oh I think I feel better than that.
(AN: YOU figure out how Larry found the SHS)
At the Lightning team's base, Jack was still winning somehow. All he's been getting were the best hands in the deck. The game was getting a little bit boring, so he decided to go fix his Lightning Saix before his big battle with the Alpha team. Then Kelly came through the door.
Jack: What took you so long?
Kelly: Someone tried to steal my drink.
Jack: Why didn't you just take another one instead?
Kelly: It doesn't matter anymore. I have the drinks.
Jack: Just go to sleep or something. We have a big battle tomorrow with the Alpha team.
Chris: So who's on the Alpha team?
Jack: Don't know. Just the black Dibison, the stealth Stromsworder and the monkey Zoid.
As Jack fixed his Lightning Saix, he started thinking about the monkey zoid that defeated him. Maybe if the whole team went after it, maybe they CAN win. He turned around and saw that the two girls are still there. This was a perfect opportunity to ask something he had on his mind recently.
Jack: So tell me. Is there anything else to your life than just Zoid battling?
Chris: Wait! Are you saying we don't have lives!?
Jack: No. I'm just asking if you do anything else.
Kelly: What do you mean?
Jack: Don't take this at the wrong direction, but you spend too much time up here. Even I go to town just to go gamble and you still stay up here. Do you have a boyfriend or anything?
Chris: No. But let me tell you this, Jack. I have a life, but ever since you joined, I've been busting my ass around just to make you feel welcome! Right Kelly?
Kelly wasn't listening in any way. After hearing what Jack said, she was thinking of the boy she ran into at town. She even remembered the guy's name. "Larry Champ". She just stood there while her sister and team mate were trying to wake her up.
Chris: Are you awake?
Kelly: (snaps out) Oh I mean... yeah.
Jack: *Of all the people I've met, I'll never understand these girls...* It's late. Go to sleep.
Somewhere early in the morning, the Whale King flew in the sky. As the bottom hatch opened, the stealth Sworder and Iron Monkey with the Griffen wings dropped and took the air. Opening its mouth, the Whale King then flew over the ground, where the Shadow Hell Saix ran out in stealth mode. The Judge capsule then dropped.
Judge: The area within a twenty mile radius is a designated Zoid battle. Only compeditors and other personel have authorized entry. Danger! All others must leave at once! Area scanned........ Battlefield set up! The Lightning team vs. the Alpha team. Ready...... FIGHT!!!
Anne: (pops on everyone's zoid window/reciever) Go team! Do this for me!
Larry: This should be no problem!
Craig: Remember. Pick your man!
Max: But Jack's mine!
Craig: No way!!
Layon: (pops up) SHUT UP!! You have a match and you should fight as a team! Act like you're an S class team!
Max: Fine.
Max then checked his radar for any enemy Zoid. Craig, was just laying in the sand in stealth mode, waiting for the moment to strike. Knowing that it was day, Larry was a little disappointed. He was up in the sky, checking for anything to come by.
Max: I found something!
Larry: Me too. All three Zoids are in a straight line!
Craig: Good. The Zoids are mine for the taking.
Kelly: I can't find any enemy Zoids.
Chris: We're coming up on one.
Jack: But it's nowhere in sight..
Craig: (pops up) Peekaboo!
As the Lightning Saixs kept running, a smokescreen filled the battlefield. Unable to see where they were going, they all stopped and hoped that nothing happens to them. Then something started to glow from the ground and jumped at one of the Lightning Saix.
Craig: Strike Laser Claw!
The glowing thing then jumped at Chris's Lightning Saix, knocking her out of the battle. The remaining Zoids ran away from what was happening. So the two air Zoids went down and charged at them as soon as they were out of the smoke screen.
Max: (pops at Craig's window) Sit back and relax! We're taking care of the rest! And I get Jack!!
Craig: You mean that wasn't Jack?
Max laughed as the Iron Monkey charged at Jack Sisco while his tail started to shoot at the leader of the Lightning team. So playing smart and calm, Sisco moved away, causing its opponent to follow him.
Jack: (pops at Max's) So you operate the Iron Monkey. I see that you have wings now.
Max: So how about it? One more round?
The Lightning Saix and the Iron Monkey then started to duke it out Jack had to get away, from the Iron Monkey as its Max chases him. He needed to lead him to Kelly, so maybe he can stop being chased and knock out the monkey. Meanwhile, at the other side of the battlefield, Kelly was shooting at her opponent, who she didn't know was Larry.
Kelly: Hold still and let me shoot.
Larry: (talks to Kelly) Sorry. But I gotta finish you off with style. So I'm gonna go fast and furious on you!
Craig: I heard that!
Kelly: I know that voice....
Jack: (pops up) Kelly! I need your help!
The Lightning Saix then left the SSS behind. Feeling like a winner, Larry follows and starts shooting at its prey. At the other side, Jack's Lightning Saix was still running from the Iron Monkey, who was still shooting. He didn't care if he kept shooting away until the Lightning Saix falls. As the Iron Monkey still chases the Lightning Saix, Kelly's Lightning Saix then pounces the Iron Monkey at Mach 3.
Max: What the hell just happened?
Kelly: I don't get it. You're the monkey zoid that Jack keeps talking about? This wasn't even a challenge.
As the Lighting Saix held down Max, Jack joined in by poitning his gun at the Iron Monkey. Not knowing what Max was going to do, he tried to get Larry. But before he could even say a word, the stealth Stormsworder came to the rescue.
Larry: Anyone forgot about me?
The SSS then brought out its glowing blades and went through the Jack's Lightning Siax, but a few seconds after the Iron Monkey got shot in the face. Craig was going to help, but he was going to wait until the numbers were even. The Lightning Saix then pounced on the flying SSS a few minutes later.
Kelly: (talks to Larry)Any last words warrior?
Larry: Damn! And I thought I was going to win this for the team!
Kelly: ...Are you Larry Champ?
Larry: The one and only.
Craig: (pops on Larry's) Can I take care of this now?
A smokescreen the filled the place and something pounced on the Lightning Saix. Nothing was happening, so Craig might as well do something fun for the while. The "Thunderwave" then got the Shadow Hell Saix to do a strike laser claw, winning the match.
Judge: The battle is over! The battle is over! The winner is.... the Alpha team!
Max: This isn't how I wanted this to be...
Larry: I was still up an running, Craig! What's your problem!
Craig: I just wanted a piece of the battle. And you were going to lose anyway!
(up in the Whale King)
Layon: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! THEY WERE SO CARELESS AND SELFISH!! ESPECIALLY CRAIG!!!
Anne: Honestly, that was one of our coolest fights ever.
Layon: IT'S NOT COOL IF THE IRON MONKEY'S OUT OF THE BATTLE! THAT'S LIKE THE ULTIMATE ZOID!!!
Down on the battlefield, the judge capsule blasted off into space as Larry was watching it. He was outside his Zoid and was watching all the other Zoids get back on their feet. While looking up, someone tapped over his shoulder. It was Kelly.
Kelly: Remember me?
Larry: Hey! It's you.
Kelly: So how are you?
Larry: Kinda sad that I let my team mate finish the match.
Kelly: You know, I was going to spare you until that other Zoid knocked me over.
Larry: ..You wanted something in return?
Kelly: (smiling) ..... Well...... there was one thing I wanted........
Later at night, up in the Whale King, Larry was dressing up in his best and nicest clothes. He was a little bit worried about what was going to happen. As he went out of his room, he saw that Max, Anne, Layon and Craig were looking at him.
Craig: So that's what you meant when you said you felt better?
Max: Can we join you?
Anne: Can you believe it? Larry is NOW a man!
Larry: Will you please shut up? I'm getting nervous!
Max: Well what else would you expect when you go on your first date?
Layon: Well this does beat getting prize money. Right Larry?
Larry: (mumbling)
Layon: I'll land the Whale King, while you get your new car.
Layon then left to the controls. Larry then went to the hanger to get his newly bought car. It was a (AN: Name your dream car!). Before he opened the door. His other members ran up to him and started to crack a few jokes on him.
Craig: Hey, Larry! Whatcha gonna do in bed?
Larry: What?
Craig: Slow and steady or (starts to thrust his hips) fast and furious?
From what Craig said, Max laughed so hard that he fell to the ground. Anne sooned joined him after trying to hold it back. Larry then gets into the car and locks himself in, hoping he doesn't hear any more of this. As the Whale King landed, Larry started to think if he was doing the right thing. Maybe he was and maybe he wasn't. But hey! He was feeling good about himself for the while.
Larry:* Might as well make the best of it.*
************************************
Well if you're wondering, I did this for a few reasons:
*The Lightning team needed a little romance.
*The Taskers badly needed more character
*Larry needs to be a little bit more important for some reason
*We all know that we needed the whole Lightning team
*I'm probably one of the first people who tried to do something with the Taskers! Whoo!
Well anyway, the plot advances as the Alpha team enter the Gold cup in the next chapter. That's one more part of my Zoids fic.Please review and tell me what you think. Tell me what you want to see and maybe I'll think it over.
* Attention!*
I'm taking a survey! Before the this fic ends, we need really sweet battle music for the BG. So besides "No Future" , what else could we put down for a final battle song? Right now, I got my eyes on The Offspring's ," Defy You" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman". So what else do you want?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Author: Everyone talks like this.

Well here we go! The next chapter to this story. What will happen next? See for yourself.

And with that, the model - I mean girl went to the food storage room to get some noodles. The others were just starting to lay out a stratagy. Craig stated that the Iron Monkey should go with the Griffen wings while the SSS goes do his thing. Craig will grab the Shadow Hell Saix.
Craig: So who get who?

Kelly: Yeah. I lost in a game and now I'm stuck buying drinks.
Larry: Well that kinda sucks... I've been told to get some noodles. And I didn't get a chance to reason out.
Kelly: (looks at Larry's cart) You call 50 cups ,"some"?
Larry: My coach is a noodle-addict.
Kelly: I see....
Now that she calmed down, she started to look at the boy she knocked down. What the boy was wearing was a really expensive grey shirt with black pants. She also noticed that he was wearing a necklace that had a wolf on it. Absolutly forgotting about what she did, she grabs for Larry's hand and lifts him off of the ground. The boy then dusts himself off.
Kelly: You must have class, considering you have all these nice clothes.
Larry: It's nothing. I just bought them myself.
Kelly: I gotta get going now. And what's your name?
Larry: Larry Champ.
Kelly: Nice meeting you, Larry! Later!
And with then, the girl of the Lightning team departed from the boy of the Alpha team. Larry had absolutly no idea on what just happened. So he just went up for a new drink and put in it his cart. While going back to the Whale King, Larry and Craig were sitting there, in silence. Craig then broke it.
Craig: Still bummin?
Larry: No. I'm feeling a little bit better.
Craig: Good to hear that. I hope you're as glad as me.
Larry: Oh I think I feel better than that.
(AN: YOU figure out how Larry found the SHS)
At the Lightning team's base, Jack was still winning somehow. All he's been getting were the best hands in the deck. The game was getting a little bit boring, so he decided to go fix his Lightning Saix before his big battle with the Alpha team. Then Kelly came through the door.
Jack: What took you so long?
Kelly: Someone tried to steal my drink.
Jack: Why didn't you just take another one instead?
Kelly: It doesn't matter anymore. I have the drinks.
Jack: Just go to sleep or something. We have a big battle tomorrow with the Alpha team.
Chris: So who's on the Alpha team?
Jack: Don't know. Just the black Dibison, the stealth Stromsworder and the monkey Zoid.
As Jack fixed his Lightning Saix, he started thinking about the monkey zoid that defeated him. Maybe if the whole team went after it, maybe they CAN win. He turned around and saw that the two girls are still there. This was a perfect opportunity to ask something he had on his mind recently.
Jack: So tell me. Is there anything else to your life than just Zoid battling?
Chris: Wait! Are you saying we don't have lives!?
Jack: No. I'm just asking if you do anything else.
Kelly: What do you mean?
Jack: Don't take this at the wrong direction, but you spend too much time up here. Even I go to town just to go gamble and you still stay up here. Do you have a boyfriend or anything?
Chris: No. But let me tell you this, Jack. I have a life, but ever since you joined, I've been busting my ass around just to make you feel welcome! Right Kelly?
Kelly wasn't listening in any way. After hearing what Jack said, she was thinking of the boy she ran into at town. She even remembered the guy's name. "Larry Champ". She just stood there while her sister and team mate were trying to wake her up.
Chris: Are you awake?
Kelly: (snaps out) Oh I mean... yeah.
Jack: *Of all the people I've met, I'll never understand these girls...* It's late. Go to sleep.
Somewhere early in the morning, the Whale King flew in the sky. As the bottom hatch opened, the stealth Sworder and Iron Monkey with the Griffen wings dropped and took the air. Opening its mouth, the Whale King then flew over the ground, where the Shadow Hell Saix ran out in stealth mode. The Judge capsule then dropped.
Judge: The area within a twenty mile radius is a designated Zoid battle. Only compeditors and other personel have authorized entry. Danger! All others must leave at once! Area scanned........ Battlefield set up! The Lightning team vs. the Alpha team. Ready...... FIGHT!!!
Anne: (pops on everyone's zoid window/reciever) Go team! Do this for me!
Larry: This should be no problem!
Craig: Remember. Pick your man!
Max: But Jack's mine!
Craig: No way!!
Layon: (pops up) SHUT UP!! You have a match and you should fight as a team! Act like you're an S class team!
Max: Fine.
Max then checked his radar for any enemy Zoid. Craig, was just laying in the sand in stealth mode, waiting for the moment to strike. Knowing that it was day, Larry was a little disappointed. He was up in the sky, checking for anything to come by.
Max: I found something!
Larry: Me too. All three Zoids are in a straight line!
Craig: Good. The Zoids are mine for the taking.
Kelly: I can't find any enemy Zoids.
Chris: We're coming up on one.
Jack: But it's nowhere in sight..
Craig: (pops up) Peekaboo!
As the Lightning Saixs kept running, a smokescreen filled the battlefield. Unable to see where they were going, they all stopped and hoped that nothing happens to them. Then something started to glow from the ground and jumped at one of the Lightning Saix.
Craig: Strike Laser Claw!
The glowing thing then jumped at Chris's Lightning Saix, knocking her out of the battle. The remaining Zoids ran away from what was happening. So the two air Zoids went down and charged at them as soon as they were out of the smoke screen.
Max: (pops at Craig's window) Sit back and relax! We're taking care of the rest! And I get Jack!!
Craig: You mean that wasn't Jack?
Max laughed as the Iron Monkey charged at Jack Sisco while his tail started to shoot at the leader of the Lightning team. So playing smart and calm, Sisco moved away, causing its opponent to follow him.
Jack: (pops at Max's) So you operate the Iron Monkey. I see that you have wings now.
Max: So how about it? One more round?
The Lightning Saix and the Iron Monkey then started to duke it out Jack had to get away, from the Iron Monkey as its Max chases him. He needed to lead him to Kelly, so maybe he can stop being chased and knock out the monkey. Meanwhile, at the other side of the battlefield, Kelly was shooting at her opponent, who she didn't know was Larry.
Kelly: Hold still and let me shoot.
Larry: (talks to Kelly) Sorry. But I gotta finish you off with style. So I'm gonna go fast and furious on you!
Craig: I heard that!
Kelly: I know that voice....
Jack: (pops up) Kelly! I need your help!
The Lightning Saix then left the SSS behind. Feeling like a winner, Larry follows and starts shooting at its prey. At the other side, Jack's Lightning Saix was still running from the Iron Monkey, who was still shooting. He didn't care if he kept shooting away until the Lightning Saix falls. As the Iron Monkey still chases the Lightning Saix, Kelly's Lightning Saix then pounces the Iron Monkey at Mach 3.
Max: What the hell just happened?
Kelly: I don't get it. You're the monkey zoid that Jack keeps talking about? This wasn't even a challenge.
As the Lighting Saix held down Max, Jack joined in by poitning his gun at the Iron Monkey. Not knowing what Max was going to do, he tried to get Larry. But before he could even say a word, the stealth Stormsworder came to the rescue.
Larry: Anyone forgot about me?
The SSS then brought out its glowing blades and went through the Jack's Lightning Siax, but a few seconds after the Iron Monkey got shot in the face. Craig was going to help, but he was going to wait until the numbers were even. The Lightning Saix then pounced on the flying SSS a few minutes later.
Kelly: (talks to Larry)Any last words warrior?
Larry: Damn! And I thought I was going to win this for the team!
Kelly: ...Are you Larry Champ?
Larry: The one and only.
Craig: (pops on Larry's) Can I take care of this now?
A smokescreen the filled the place and something pounced on the Lightning Saix. Nothing was happening, so Craig might as well do something fun for the while. The "Thunderwave" then got the Shadow Hell Saix to do a strike laser claw, winning the match.
Judge: The battle is over! The battle is over! The winner is.... the Alpha team!
Max: This isn't how I wanted this to be...
Larry: I was still up an running, Craig! What's your problem!
Craig: I just wanted a piece of the battle. And you were going to lose anyway!
(up in the Whale King)
Layon: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! THEY WERE SO CARELESS AND SELFISH!! ESPECIALLY CRAIG!!!
Anne: Honestly, that was one of our coolest fights ever.
Layon: IT'S NOT COOL IF THE IRON MONKEY'S OUT OF THE BATTLE! THAT'S LIKE THE ULTIMATE ZOID!!!
Down on the battlefield, the judge capsule blasted off into space as Larry was watching it. He was outside his Zoid and was watching all the other Zoids get back on their feet. While looking up, someone tapped over his shoulder. It was Kelly.
Kelly: Remember me?
Larry: Hey! It's you.
Kelly: So how are you?
Larry: Kinda sad that I let my team mate finish the match.
Kelly: You know, I was going to spare you until that other Zoid knocked me over.
Larry: ..You wanted something in return?
Kelly: (smiling) ..... Well...... there was one thing I wanted........
Later at night, up in the Whale King, Larry was dressing up in his best and nicest clothes. He was a little bit worried about what was going to happen. As he went out of his room, he saw that Max, Anne, Layon and Craig were looking at him.
Craig: So that's what you meant when you said you felt better?
Max: Can we join you?
Anne: Can you believe it? Larry is NOW a man!
Larry: Will you please shut up? I'm getting nervous!
Max: Well what else would you expect when you go on your first date?
Layon: Well this does beat getting prize money. Right Larry?
Larry: (mumbling)
Layon: I'll land the Whale King, while you get your new car.
Layon then left to the controls. Larry then went to the hanger to get his newly bought car. It was a (AN: Name your dream car!). Before he opened the door. His other members ran up to him and started to crack a few jokes on him.
Craig: Hey, Larry! Whatcha gonna do in bed?
Larry: What?
Craig: Slow and steady or (starts to thrust his hips) fast and furious?
From what Craig said, Max laughed so hard that he fell to the ground. Anne sooned joined him after trying to hold it back. Larry then gets into the car and locks himself in, hoping he doesn't hear any more of this. As the Whale King landed, Larry started to think if he was doing the right thing. Maybe he was and maybe he wasn't. But hey! He was feeling good about himself for the while.
Larry:* Might as well make the best of it.*
************************************
Well if you're wondering, I did this for a few reasons:
*The Lightning team needed a little romance.
*The Taskers badly needed more character
*Larry needs to be a little bit more important for some reason
*We all know that we needed the whole Lightning team
*I'm probably one of the first people who tried to do something with the Taskers! Whoo!
Well anyway, the plot advances as the Alpha team enter the Gold cup in the next chapter. That's one more part of my Zoids fic.Please review and tell me what you think. Tell me what you want to see and maybe I'll think it over.
* Attention!*
I'm taking a survey! Before the this fic ends, we need really sweet battle music for the BG. So besides "No Future" , what else could we put down for a final battle song? Right now, I got my eyes on The Offspring's ," Defy You" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman". So what else do you want?
Thank you for your cooperation.
