Disclaimer: Zoids is definitely not mine, but I sure wish it was! ^_^



A Silver Blade Liger pounded through the hot afternoon sun towards a Black GunSniper in the distance that was appearing closer and closer by the minute. Blinding sand sprayed behind it in a trail as the huge Zoid roared and charged at the target full speed.

"What?!" the GunSniper's controller yelled panicked. "How did it get there so fast?!"

Frantically, he began firing a ton of ammo at the Liger in an effort to try and knock it down, but the quick Zoid dodged them all. Suddenly, it leapt high, and a voice could be visibly heard shouting,

"Silver Steel Claw!"

As the cat-like machine landed hard on the ground once again, behind it the GunSniper fell, unable to continue the battle because of a leg wound.

"BATTLE OVER! BATTLE OVER! THE WINNER IS.. THE BLITZ TEAM!!" the judge boomed.

The Silver Liger roared triumphantly as two other Zoids, a Raynos and a new model called an ArmorFox trotted up beside it. From inside the Liger's cockpit a boy could be heard whooping and laughing happily.

"Wahoo! We finally beat the Dinodron Team! Great job guys, let's head back to the base!"

The Zoids in question whole-heartedly roared their approval.

*Back at the Base, in the Lounge*

"Hey Rex, old buddy, give me a high five!"

"Oh yea, up high or down low?"

"Whatever, just high-five me! Maverick! You and the Silver Liger were tight dude!!"

"Heh, thanks Keith, you were pretty awesome out there too. Guess all that expensive armor really made your ArmorFox indestructible. Rex, great aerial maneuvers up there with your Raynos, I'm impressed. I saw a few new techniques that you used that I've never seen before. Who taught you them?"

Rex turned red and shuffled his feet around embarrassed.

"Aw, lay off it Mav. Wild Eagle the Second taught me those moves. though, they did take a little long to get the hang of."

Maverick laughed and slapped his friend on the back.

"Ha! Nothing in the world that you can't do, that's what I always say!"

Rex turned as red as a tomato.

Just then, the sliding doors opened and the three boys looked up. There stood the Head of the Blitz Team, Commandeer Bit Cloud. The blonde grinned at them all.

"So, you boys finally won against the Dinodrons?"

Three heads nodded vigorously.

"Well, great job guys, we got five times the usual prize money. About two more wins and I can get new conversions for your Zoids to use. How's about we go out to town and watch a movie or something to celebrate?"

Bit was nearly blown away as the three rascals yelled, "YEA!!!!!!!!!!"

Bit rubbed at his ear in mock pain and tried hard to keep from smiling.

"Geez, lower it down will ya?! People will go deaf if you go about yellin like that!!!!"

In reply, they put on charming smiles and said sweetly, "Soooorrrrryyy."

Bit laughed.

"Don't you ruffians start butterin me up, it ain't gonna work."

They giggled ridiculously like two year olds and only added puppy eyes to their expressions.

Though they could be a handful of trouble, Bit had always looked down upon the three fifteen year olds fondly because they reminded him so much of his younger days when he too was energetic and reckless. What would he be like if he never even knew them?

Rex Kane had auburn hair which he gelled and had dark brown eyes. He specialized in aerial Zoids and was usually the brains of the group. He usually wore when going into Zoid battles, a blue and silver sweat jacket, with a black shirt underneath. On his hands would be black gloves, cut at the fingers, and a thin belt tied around his dark blue jeans with one length hanging out.

Keith Jones too sported brown hair, but instead dyed it lime green and spiked it. His keen emerald eyes helped him avoid many hits during fights, and he was a good strategist. When going into battle, he'd wear: a black tank and black pants. One of his ears were pierced, and a white headband would be bound around his forehead. At his wrists were white wristbands and his left hand's middle finger had a plain silver ring on it.

Maverick Shaft had black hair, which he spiked and colored gold at the tips. He had ocean blue eyes and a heartwarming smile. Though a bit spunky at times, he always encouraged the others and was never short of nerve. His battle uniform was a long-sleeved white shirt with a black T-shirt on top, sporting the Yin-Yang sign. He'd wear beige pants with a chain hanging down from one of the pockets. Around his neck from a long silver chain hung a symbol of a Liger leaping, which he was very protective of.

Bit sighed. The boys were his life and he couldn't bear living without them.

"Well," he said clearing his throat. "Let's get moving shall we?"

"ALRIGHT!!!!" came the enthusiastic reply, and Bit was trampled over by the three sets of feet.

"Hmmm." he sighed as he listened to the quickly receding footsteps. "Some things never change.."
