Chapter 2: The Past and Future

The sun was setting when the smoke and fire of the lab had finally settled down. The mist of the valley had finally settled down as well, blanketing the entire area. The white wolf or Konig Wolf now moved forward. Its claws scrapped against the earth as it moved. Its side was damaged, leaving a gapping hole exposed. The wolf left behind the remains of the organoid and the pilot of the Dark Spiner. As Konig moved forward in his new body, he found he still has his mind of a human yet his emotions felt dull. One could expect, since he was a machine but it was strange to have that feeling taken away, replaced by power. He wandered through the valley until he discovered the cave that was large and deep enough from him to hide and recover in. The one called the Konig Wolf now looked back outside with a low growl, 'As long as those plans are safe and that creature is dead. My purpose is over. I shall sleep.'

And I did sleep, for many years to come. My body recovered but the large hole that was still there since metal doesn't grow back. The land changed, yet I was still safe in the cave. The valley had crumbled, except for the small section I was in. Empire and the Republic were gone and now zoids were used in battles. A late day while I was awake pondering ancient thoughts I finally came across these new battles.

((The Future))

The Konig Wolf walked across the somewhat bleak land now. He stayed close to the shadows that the now small valley produced. As he did, something from the sky came crashing down. His machine head starred at this with a grumbling like sound. 'I wonder what that is.' He had walked outside before but he had never seen a battle near by. He continued on walking, curious to see what it was. Even as a machine he didn't feel but inside his control system was telling him to check out what the strange object was, and that reason was good enough for him. He stopped at the edge of the shadows a low rumbling growl came from his metal jaw. It was a small type battle, a 2 vs. 2 from what Konig could tell. A white Liger and a fox type zoid on one side while the other was a Lightning Saix and Genosaurer. His scanners watched. From what he could tell the side with the Lightning Saix should be winning but the two creatures seem to struggle against the white Liger and Fox. Even with the charge particle gun, the Liger side seemed to have the odds in his favor now. Konig tilted his head slightly to see a dark one replaced the white capsule that had crashed. A little machine was inside, which seemed like to be a referee for these fights. Konig was about to leave when he caught sight of another zoid entering the battlefield. It was another Genosaurer, Konig growled at this. That was unfair. He may not understand these battles but 2 against 3 were unfair odds.

The Liger was down as well as the Fox zoid. The two Genosaurers both powered up as the Lightning Saix stood on stand by. Konig knew how to go about this as he ran across the battlefield at his full speed. The Liger and Fox could see him as he could sense their optical sensors on him, but It was the Lightning Saix and Genosaurers that he was concern about. Neither saw him as he neared, even with a gashed up side he moved fast. He made a sudden turn, moving in from the side and he slices the foot locking on each as he ran past and leaps over the Lightning Saix. Just as the Genosaurers shot there guns the support system on there legs snapped, causing each to shoot back into the air from the lost of support. The two came crashing into the ground, while Konig growled low as it looked back over at the Lightning Saix. The Liger pilot spoke, it was a woman from what Konig could hear, "Wow, whoever that is. They have my thanks."

Konig Wolf growled a call to the Lightning Saix pilot. The pilot shifted its position, "So you barge in here without permission. Well see how tough you are when you go against my speed."

The Lightning Saix took off to the right with Konig following. Konig eyed the Lightning Saix. Its pilot didn't trust it; there fore it wouldn't perform at its top speed. 'Gives me a good chance of taking it out before it damages me to much.'

He stopped as the Lightning Saix moved further down, pivoting around to face its challenger, Konig. "Whoever you are, prepare to face the end of your short appearance. Judging by that damage on your zoid shoulder you should be easy to take down."

Inside, Konig laughed at the pilot's ignorance, as he lowered both shoulders down. The Liger and Fox pilots watched with amazement at the zoid. The Lightning Saix leaped forward. As it reached its fast speed it fired its cannon on its back. Konig was already running at his fast speed and turned right and then left to avoid the attempted shots. The Lightning Saix hadn't reached the breaking point yet giving Konig time. He leaped forward, landing on top of the Lightning Saix. His claws racked through the gun and body with a powerful blow. Konig himself was flown off crashing into the ground as the Lightning Saix crumbled.

The Liger and Fox moved to this unknown zoid lying on the ground. Each pilot pushed opened the cockpits and slid out, staring. Konig was lying there. The one from the Liger was a female. Her long blond hair flowed down to the middle of her back as she studied the unknown zoid. The pilot next to her was an older man, with his hair was streaked with gray. Konig got to his feet again after his short rest. The female human moved forward. "Hey wait, who are you?"

Konig growled low and lowered himself to the ground opening up the cockpit area. The two humans peered inside and were shock. "No one is there!"

Konig closed it as he stood up fully. The young female tilted her head, "Hey wait."

The Liger moved to block his way.

"I'm Rain um.Rain Cloud to be exact with my full name and this is my mentor, Brad. He's teaching me some fighting techniques. My father was nice to let me use Liger Zero and next to him is the Shadowfox."

Konig hand to clue why the young human was telling him those things but he growled slightly to acknowledge them.

Ran starred at the gaping hole on his side. "That's bad, will you let us repair you?"

Konig didn't care but he might as well. Rain wasn't sure if he was going to let them or not as she pointed to the hanger. "Lets go then."

The two humans boarded their zoids while Konig followed along. He moved toward the hanger, wondering what would await him there.

Meanwhile..

"A white wolf zoid?!"

"Yes sir, it appeared on the battle grounds."

The man who had spoken first frowned as he moved to the side of the dark room. "Are you sure?"

"Without a doubt. It's the one that people have been calling the Konig Wolf, at lest that's what the old records have said."

The man smirked as he switched on a screen with the construction of what was the 'Dark Spiner.' "See this?"

"I do, sir."

"Not only will this be the ultimate machine but we have another."

"Another?"

The man smiled coldly. "The Liger Zero is a legend in itself as well as the Konig Wolf. Lets see how these legends fair against ours."
