Disclaimer: I do NOT own Zoids or it's characters. I only own the idea for
this fic and most made-up characters. Jester Zackwell, Titansauor and Lela
Rose are ideas from Fiction Lord. Rez Naomi and Terra belong to New Anima
Master. I give my thanks to both of them for use of their characters.

Chapter 4- Lela Cometh
Sten Groonings was sitting in the holding cell. Last night, he and his partner, Mell attempted to attack the outpost, however, they were attacked and beaten by Jester Zackwell and his Titansauor. Somehow, Sten survived the attack, and was caught by the security officers, While Mell died in the cockpit of his Rev Raptor. On the other side of the locked door, Jester watched the captive through a small opening in the metal door. Sten's pride was striped from him. He sat alone in the cell as a broken man. He had been interrogated, questioned and possible tortured by General Gramm's men to pry the information on the bandits he worked for. They got what they wanted, however, Jester didn't feel satisfied.
"You're lucky I didn't kill you. Consider yourself fortunate that you still live."
"Screw you!"
Sten called back, not once moving from the metal table that was his bed in the small room. Jester said nothing back, but simply left the man to his shame.
-----------------------
In the hanger bay where Jesters Titansauor was kept, another Zoid was being brought in. A Shield Liger. It's pilot waited by its feet as her Zoid was being maintained. She had long red hair and was about 19. She gave her Shield Liger so much attention, she didn't even notice someone standing behind her.
"Nice Liger."
Jester said, making her jump. Surprised, she spun around and met him face to face.
"Err... Thanks. And you are..."
"Jester Zackwell."
He said simply and began to climb up the leg of his Titansauor.
"That's your Zoid?"
"Yep."
"I've never seen anything like it. What's its classification?"
"Classified."
"Classified? Why?"
"Don't know. Never really cared to be honest."
Jester opened the cockpit and began to climb in.
"Ok, let me ask you this. Where'd you get it?"
"I can't remember. I think I might be suffering from amnesia. Can't remember much of my past anyway."
"That's sad..."
"I don't want your pity Ms...."
"Lela. Lela Rose."
Jester shrugged and closed the cockpit as he sat in Titansauors head. When activated, the Zoid took one giant step over Lela and proceeded the make it's way out of the hanger.
"Pleased to meet you too..."
Lela sighed, a bit annoyed. Jester often had that effect on people.
-------------------------
An hour later, the Titansauor followed the path his secondary display showed. It was the information on the Bandits camp, and Jester still had to get rid of them before he gets paid. He never liked to leave a job half finished, so he might as well take the offensive to the raiders. So far, the trip had been uneventful... until a Zoid came running up behind him.
"Hey! wait for me!"
The female voice of Lela called as her Shield Liger caught up.
"Boy, you don't wait for anyone do you?"
"Why are you following me?"
"Incase General Gramm hasn't told you, I've reassigned as your partner. He thinks it'll be better if you have someone watching your back."
"I work alone."
Jester said coldly, to with Lela snapped back.
"By choice or because no one can STAND you?"
Jester glanced at the Shield Liger. That Zoid had great defensive capabilities. Perhaps he could use her when he attacks the Bandits camp.
"Fine, come along then. But don't blame me if you get left behind."
He replied simply, making Lela smile at her small victory. Jester's eyes rolled, Babysitting was another thing he disliked. especially if it's someone he hardly knows. He'll be glad when they reach the location of the Raiders base, then he can start thinking about other things, like how to slaughter each Zoid he comes across.
-------------------------
Meanwhile, in the distance of the two Zoids, two more watch them from a safe distance. One was a Command Wolf, the other was Terra.
*When can we attack Rez? I'm grow tired of waiting.*
"Patience. You'll get your chance."
"And what about me?"
Asked the female pilot of the Command Wolf.
"I mean, when are you going to start paying attention to me?"
"Always rambunctious eh Deva? That's what I like about you."
Deva would've fainted to hear those words. Deva Irvins always had a spot in her heart for Rez, and he knew it. She mostly expressed herself by being overly protective and obedient to him. He notices, but tries to keep his emotions from clouding his true nature.
"Anyway, we'll let them tango with Diego's men first, then, we'll strike while they're exhausted."
"Goody."
Deva cheered, moving her Command Wolf along side Terra.
*I still think we should get them now!*
Terra complained.

Well, I hope this brought things up to speed. Please review it and tell me what you think.
Again, I thank Fiction Lord and New Anima Master for the use of their ideas. (Jester Zackwell, Lela Rose, Titansauor, Rez Naomi, and Terra)
Until Next Time ^_^
