Chapter 8 – 1,000,000 to 1
Arcane awoke to the alarm in the Phoenix Leiger which he had not set, only to be greeted with the sight of the biggest city on the planet Zi, Sacronad City, the city gates were the size of two football stadiums standing up, no wonder there was no crime there
"Is that Sacronad P?"
{Yes it is Arcane}
"May I ask why we are here?"
{I need a service}
"Oh ok what else do we need while we are here?"
{Employment and a rest for a day or two}
Arcane laughed, "We need a rest trust you"
Arcane enjoyed having someone to talk to, he wasn't feeling so low anymore and he knew he now had a friend for life.

Two days later Pedro was at the local offices of the ZBC talking to his good friend Cesar while waiting for his discount certificate, all zoid pilots that were registered with the ZBC got there zoids serviced at subsidised cost.
"So Cesar what's the deal with S class being destroyed?"
"Some guys called the Shadow Crawlers destroyed the class, they attacked each team one by one and stealing there zoids"
"The shadow crawlers!? They don't even put up a decent fight"
"You mean you have fought against them"
"For sure and now I have a new team me and cannonfort are going to annihilate them even more"
"Really? What team did you join?"
"The Crimson Bandits, they are the best team in A class and now that the Phoenix team is broken up we will have no competition"
"The Phoenix team is broken up?"
"Yeah, the guy with the phoenix Leiger kept losing them battles coz he liked some girl, I mean come on I know I wouldn't let a girl come between me and my zoid battles"
"Ever heard of love conquers all?"
"Yeah, bunch of garbage if you asked me"
"About this guy with the Phoenix Leiger, what is he doing now?"
"He hires himself out to different teams, a mercenary you might say"
"You should get your team to challenge him to a 0916, a handicap match, he has no choice but to accept it because he is the highest ranked zoid pilot registered and if you win you get ALL his points and he gets what you have"
"What happens if he wins?"
"He gets three times the prize money and 3 times his points"
"Sounds like he has more to gain"
"And to lose, 3 against one isn't very easy especially not the crimson bandits, anyway I have to go Pedro it was nice talking to you again"
"Yeah you to Cesar ill see you later"
~*~
"umm cat I was wondering if you would um if you would…"
"No way I was gonna ask her first, Cat you know how there is a ball coming up?"
"Shut up I'm going to ask her to the ball"
"No way I am"
"No me"
"No me"
Catalina sighed and looked at Goji and Kouji, "Why don't we just go as a team?"
"because I don't wanna go with a guy"
"a grow up Kouji, and if you don't wanna go with the team then ill have to take Cat by myself"
"The hell you will"
"SHUTUP the both of you!, I'm not going with either one of you now"
Goji and Kouji stalked out of the room blaming each other for making Catalina mad, when the phone rang, Catalina picked up and addressed whoever it was on the other end with an exasperated hello.
"Hi Catalina its umm Trace, here umm I was…"
"Trace raptor you swine how dare you! You interfere with my zoid battle and then you ring me how dare you!"
"I know but I was just doing my job what I was ringing for is I was wondering if you would like to be my date?"
Catalina was stunned, now that she thought about it he was kinda cute and she wasn't gonna go with Goji or Kouji so why not?
"Sure why not Pick me up at eight"
"Ok bye"

Arcane was at the Zoid Service Centre when a boy about 15 years of age approached him.
"So you're the famous pilot of the Phoenix Leiger, I'm disappointed I expected more, I cant believe you actually lost your last few battles, I wonder why oh that's right, you like my sister, I don't know why, she Is a backstabbing piece of garbage, she will turn on you in an instance but then again if you have feelings for her your not too smart so you wouldn't know, I'm challenging you to a zoid battle, battle mode 0916, you have to accept, you are the highest ranked zoid pilot but not for long"
"I accept your challenge but rewind a bit, first who are you? and second I like who?"
"My name is Sean and you like my sister, Faith"
When her name came up Sean sneered he hated her with all his heart he ran out on him, she was the cause of his death and now he was going to kill her too
"Oh and I wasn't finished challenging you, battle mode 0916 modification mode 4, we get to choose one zoid pilot to help you in the zoid battle"
Sean turned and walked away and out of sight.
"Tripidicus, we the Crimson Bandits challenge you to a zoid battle, battle mode 0916, you have to accept or you get put right down to the very bottom of the ladder"
"Yeah ok I already got one of those so I guess you guys are in the mix also"
-Damn Two teams against two zoid pilots what the hell am I gonna do, I don't stand a chance and I don't want to put anyone else in danger, What can I do, I'm screwed, first my job then my home and now my ranking-
Arcane was ripped out of thought by a new voice, it was Goji, Kouji and Catalina were standing right behind him
"We have discussed it and we wish to challenge you to a zoid battle, battle mode 0…"
"Wait let me guess 0916, I have to accept yeah ok, now go"
"Yes we did it Kouji we got him in the bag, he doesn't stand a chance now"
Arcane got up and walked over to his Phoenix Leiger, "Lets go P, we have to prepare for a very big but very short battle"
{Don't feel so down Arcane at least the Alpha team didn't challenge you}
"No but they probably will"
Just as Arcane said it Kahrones face appeared on screen, "Are you Arcane?"
"Yeah that's me"
"Good, I want to challenge you to a zoid battle…"
"0916?"
"Nope, battle mode 0985, one on one modified stipulations"
"modified stipulations?"
"Yeah if I win you have to ask my friend Faith to the ball"
"And if I win?"
"I'm not sure I didn't think of that"
"How about I take your zoid off your hands"
"umm err umm ok"
And then her face was gone.
{Cheer up it's a win win situation}
"yeah right can you take us to where we need to be I'm kinda tired"
{Yeah sure why not}
A/N – that was chapter 8 which is the longest one yet I might add, next chapter will probably be really short cause it will be the zoid battles, so yeah guess what I have 51 reviews that is sweet my goal is 100 so I'm already half way there thanks to everyone for reading and thanks to everyone who sent in a character I know I didn't use some but there are limits to how many characters a guy can 3 dimensionalise so yeah anyway it shouldn't be too long till the next chapter is up but until then R&R flames welcome peace out
