Before we start, I'd like to remind you all, that Jester Zackwell and the
Zoid Titansauor are ideas that belong to Fiction Lord, not me. Also, I'd
like to give thanks to New Anima Master for his idea of a new character,
Rez Naomi and his Zoid Terra. Thank you both Fiction Lord and New Anima
Master.
Disclaimer: I Do NOT own Zoids or it's characters. I only own the idea for this fic and several made-up characters. Jester Zackwell and Titansauor belong to Fiction Lord. Rez Naomi and Terra belong to New Anima Master.

Chapter 3- Midnight Rumble.
Night had fallen on the compound. The stars above as well as the double moons shone brightly. It wasn't necessary for the outside lamps to be shining on a night like tonight, but the military were suspicious and they keep them on. Jester could've cared less. He sat in the cockpit of Titansauor as it waits in the center of the outpost. Jester crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes. Anyone would've thought he was falling asleep, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. He was concentrating on how to take action if, and when the bandits attacked. Before dusk, Jester asked that the GunSniper security force should be powered down until the rebels attacked. Gramm didn't understand, but he agreed, practically making the outpost look like an opportunity that couldn't be missed.
His plan worked. As the midnight hour approached, Jester felt the sensation again, the one he feels when an enemy is nearby. Without even opening his eyes, he reached for the throttled, pulled it, and the Titansauor sped off into the night, it's black and white armor concealing the Zoid in the shadow of darkness.
Two Rev Raptors gathered behind a tall rock formation. They could easily see the outpost and as Jester planed, they couldn't see a single Zoid on patrol. The pilots smiled at what they thought was going to be an uneventful night. Who wrong they were.
"It's quite Mell."
One pilot said
"Like they practically fell asleep at their guard."
"I don't like that Sten."
Mell called back.
"I think it's a trap."
"Come on. For two weeks they couldn't touch us. What makes you think they will now?"
"I still don't like it."
"Fine. Stay if you want, but I'm going in. Perhaps were can get something good this time."
Just as Sten's Rev Raptor took a step forward, a salvo of micro missiles swarmed the sky at their targets. From behind, Sten's Rev Raptor was shoved as explosions covered its back.
"What the hell...?"
"It's a trap! I told you!"
"Shut up!"
Sten shouted as his Zoid turned back to face its attacker. Sten and Mell saw only darkness.
"Hey!?! Where'd he go?"
"I don't see anything. Nothing on radar."
"That's impossible! Their GunSnipers can't hide so easily."
"Maybe it's not a GunSniper."
"You're right."
Jester's voice came in suddenly as both Sten and Mell saw the blur of a shadow run right in front of them.
"But what could I be? Where could I be? Better think quick."
Just as Jester finished his sentence, another salvo of Micro missiles flew, striking both of the Rev Raptors this time. Both rebel Zoids danced under the constant firing they received just before Sten's fell with a crass.
"Shit!"
Mell called out as his Zoid took off running in full retreat.
"I don't think so."
Jester said as Titansauor suddenly stopped in front of Mell. On reflex, Mells Rev Raptor fired its cannons mounted on the Zoids forearms. Titansauor didn't even try to dodge the fire. Instead, it took the damage. Mell froze. Why would someone not move to get out of the way of incoming fire? Two blast marks were made on Titansauors chest armor, yet it stood there, laughing like it was nothing. In seconds, the wounds began to heal themselves. In mere moments, the damage was gone, as though there was none there in the first place.
"What are you?!"
Mell asked in near panic. To answer his question, the Titansauor stabbed the Rev Raptor from both sides with both of its arms, trapping the Zoid with its claws. The Rev Raptor was caught.
"Do you really want me to respond to that?"
Jester's voice asked wickedly as the Particle Beam Cannon on the Titansauors back began to charge as it was aimed at the Rev Raptors head. Mells screams for mercy were drowned out by the sound of the beam obliterating his Zoids cockpit at close range.
What was left of the Rev Raptor was nothing but a smoking headless corpse. As Titansauor dropped it to the sand, looking rather disappointed.
*Only two? I figured there were at least five.*
Titansauor said to Jester, who only sat in the command chair.
"They must've been the scouts. Once the others realize what happened, they should come again. Hopefully with greater numbers."
Looking at his secondary display, he picked up another Zoid signature.
"Perhaps I spoke too soon."
He said as he followed the energy signature. This one started to come at him, which was a real surprise. Jester aimed his weapons forward, awaiting the Zoid. He held back from firing because it could've been one of Gramms GunSnipers. However, what he saw shocked him even more. It wasn't a GunSniper and it wasn't a Rev Raptor. It looked like a Black Liger with silver and red markings. But instead of Liger, Jester recognized the Zoid as Terra.
"Rez Naomi."
Jester said, a bit annoyed.
"Still pestering me with your presence?"
The pilot of Terra, Rez Naomi was just as mysterious as Jester himself was. Jester considered him a rival.
"Don't be surprised Jester!"
Rez called back
"You know just how dangerous I can be, so don't piss me off."
"And you know how I can be. What's your connection with these thieves? Have you fallen so low?"
"You would do well to mind your blasphemes tongue, Jester. I have not allowed myself to serve those weaker than myself. In which you have"
Terra gave a laughing roar as though to mock Titansauor. Jesters grip tightened around the firing trigger, nearly sending every weapon he had against the Terra Zoid. Rez, somehow knew this as well.
"Go ahead Jester. Strike at me if you have the courage to do it."
Jester fired. Micro Missiles and beams from the Particle Beam Cannon vomited from their housings in a deadly array of firepower. Terra merely danced between the projectiles and dodged every attack, laughing at Titansauor and goading it on.
"Come now Jester, surely you can do better than that."
Rez insulted, adding more fuel to Jesters anger. To show his superiority, the Titansauor suddenly ran at Terra with its deadly claws spearheaded. He Zoid managed to tear armor off Terra's front leg before it was able to dodge Jesters charging assault. terra spun to a stop with its front right leg injured and Titansauor a few meters away, ready to make another attack if need be. But not tonight.
"I wasn't prepared for your reckless outburst my friend. We'll continue this another time. If you have the balls to show up."
And with that said, Terra vanished along the darkness, leaving Jester to stare at the spot Rez was just standing at seconds ago.
God, how I hate that bastard.
Jester cursed.
TO BE CONTINUED...
-----------------------------
I hope this chapter was to everyone's liking. Hopefully I'll get some good reviews for it too.
Again, I thank Fiction Lord and New Anima Master for their ideas of the main characters, Jester Zackwell, Rez Naomi, and their Zoids Titansauor and Terra.
Until Next Time ^_^
