Inuyasha-kun was a little upset when I misspelled his name, but now that I'm not, I have all right to do this… (Borrows the Mallet of Justice, and clobbers Corrector again.) That was because I felt like it. Anyway, I…

Beelzemon: Who the heck are you?

Beelzemon: Wait a second…. KEFKA??????

Kefka: I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO CALL ANYONE A SON OF A SUBMARINER!!!!!

Beelzemon: … Chickenwuss.

Beelzemon: Now that…

Beelzemon: What did I do to deserve this? HEY FATE!!!!! LEOMON DOESN'T COUNT!!!!!! I ONLY PRETENDED TO KILL HIM SO HE COULD WORK CHRIS MCFEELY'S BAR WITHOUT UPSETTING JERI!!!!!!!!

Fate: (Checks lists) Opps.



Chapter 8 – The hybrids want to Zoid battle…



"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!! I NEED TO BE OUT THERE IN A ZOID BATTLE, NOT KEPT INSIDE AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT!!!!!" Jack shouted.

Several others agreed. They didn't enjoy having to stay hidden from the outside world, but if they were seen…

"WHOA!!!! CALM DOWN!!!!" Kelly told him.

None of the former pilots were taking this very well, particularly the mercenaries, who have grown to like the battles. Leena, though, couldn't care less as long as she was with Vega. Vega wasn't fond of this either. Would you be fond of suddenly being transformed, and having a female hybrid chase you? I think not.

"I want to battle too, but if we're seen, who knows what the end result would be?" Jamie told them.

"Where's Brad?"

"Hold on…"

Naomi had a feeling. She went outside, and sure enough, Brad's wolf side had him howling at the moon. Brad only went along with it so that other instincts wouldn't grow too strong…

"Brad?"

Brad stopped, and turned to face her.

"Yeah?"

"You want to return to the Zoid battles too, right?"

Brad nodded.

"So do I…"

"Those lovebirds really know how to hit us where it hurts…" Earthos said as a tear of chlorophyll went down his face.

"Yeah." Flameus' tears were lava.

"What are you two babbling about?" Shadowsis asked.

"You wouldn't know. You don't have a heart." Puritus said as he walked in, radiating light.

"A-HEM!!!"

"Oh… sorry." Puritus stopped the light.

"Let's just watch for a while longer…"

"Where are you going?"

"Out!"

Brad walked off toward the hanger. The others knew EXACTLY what he was doing. He was in the cockpit by the time they arrived.

"YOU INSANE FOOL!!!! IF YOU'RE FOUND OUT…"

"I won't be…"

The cockpit closed, and the Shadow Wolf ran out of the hanger…



'Too bright in here. A little adjustment, and…'

Brad switched the interior lighting off in the Shadow Wolf. Brad knew he didn't need it. Although it was pitch black for human eyes, his eye weren't human.

'Perfect. Now if someone opens the vid-com, they can't see me during the night.'

After a while of wandering, he found a willing fighter…

You want to take me on? Fine, but you'll lose…

That's what you think.

The shadow wolf deployed a smoke screen to make it near impossible to see. His foe, in a D-Bison, fired like mad. Brad was a little surprised that he easily out-maneuvered the shots, but then again, he was part wolf now…

SON OF A %*^&#!

Brad wasn't too happy about that… He fired of some Vulcan fire from his pivoting gun. He easily hit home.

THAT'S IT!!!!! MAXIMUM BURNOUT!!!!!

Brad never heard of that attack before. Either it's new, or that's simply what he calls it. The shots were armor piercing, and tore the shadow wolf apart. This was a non-official match, but that didn't stop Brad's for from gloating…

I WON YOU &@$^@#*!!!!!

Then the jerk fired once more as an insult, but this caused the Zoid to fall over and crash. Brad was thrown through the cockpit window. The last thing he thought of as he blacked out was that he was glad that he could endure more now as a hybrid…



Brad's lost, and they haven't left the frying pan yet!!!!
