Two days later the hover cargo found the remains of the convoy, this time
Doc decided to tell Bit and Jamie who both responded with the same amount
of disbelief and horror as Brad when they collected the registration cards
from the deceased warriors, they managed to keep it a secret from Leena
saying that it was just one of Bit's scavenging trips. Only Bit dared to
ask the question everybody wanted answered.
"Doc why haven't you told Leena yet?" Toros turned and looked at Bit and looked ready to hit something, but calmed down and answered "She has her mothers sense of justice, if she knew the Gunsniper would be outta here in a flash trying to catch this killer, but you know how Leena is, she doesnt have the patience or concentration to do it..." he paused and choked back a tear "to do it without getting killed". Bit realised it was the awful truth, if she knew, she was as good as dead.
"Doc, said Bit, my sense of Justice is a good as Leenas if not better, set up Jager for me, Im going hunting" the door swished open and Brad stepped in "Im going with him" The Shadow Fox and Jager stalked through the mountain passes searching for their prey for two weeks they found nothing other than another wrecked team, this time of aerial zoids who had been taken out using missiles, they found the bodies of the pilots, all shot in the back while trying to escape, now they knew what they had dreaded, the man they were hunting was killing for sport.
The man watched them, he had been aware of them for a few days now and knew they were after him, he contemplated how he would kill them and were he would leave their bodies to be found by their idiotic companions, "insects" he said He flipped up the scope on his penetrator rifle, he took careful aim at Brad and slowly started to squeeze the trigger a rock crumbled beneath him and the shot went off kicking up the dirt infront of the Shadow Fox. Brad stopped his zoid and took an instinctive leap backwards as a flurry of un-aimed bullets made a trail in the soft rocks of the canyon floor, Bit threw the Liger behind a rock spire to protect himself from the lethal shards of crystal fired by the sniper's rifle. The barrage stopped momentarily and both Brad's and Bit's radios crackled into life.
"I am impressed," said a voice dripping with cruelty and cunning "your the first to avoid my bullets andthe first stupid enough to try track me down"
