The Cup
FS-Hi, everyone! Now, the Royal Cup starts! Dun-dun-dah! I'm not totally sure about the order of armors and the teams, so please don't flame me if I get some stuff wrong. Battle #1! Raven/Shadow/Liger, in Jager, against the Lightning Team! I'm sure all of you know that reviews are a fan-fic writer's lifeblood, so pulleezz review!?*Pulls out a bazooka* or I will smash you into little pieces!
Raven- *blah* Liger- [blah] Shadow- blah Shadowrage- /blah/ Astarael- {blah}
"Mobilizing Liger Jager!" We flew into the air, with Brad and Leena following. "We need to get five codes, to learn the location of the finish line." Doc informed us. Five? *Five.* I confirmed. Liger continued running across the plains, but I was sure he was listening to every word.
Bit sat in the cockpit, the first tremblings of excitement in his stomach. He sat back and considered the effects of winning. If he won, the Blitz Team would have fame and wealth. And maybe.. he would learn the answers to the enigma that was Liger Zero. Liger Zero.. his friend, his partner, his buddy, and a machine.
Or was he? The black shadow, the strange boy, the voices in his head; they all were hints of a larger entity, one with power beyond imagining. "BIT!" Leena's voice crackled into life. "I've been trying to reach you for the last fifteen minutes!" "Sorry, Leena." He replied automatically.
"Blitz Team. Your first opponent is. scanning, scanning, the Lightning Team!" The judge blared over the battlefield. Brad groaned, Leena shrieked, and Bit felt a stirring of fear. But the fear was swallowed in a wave of excitement to battle his rival, Jack Sisco, where the stakes were so much higher.
[Lightning Siax.] The three members prowled onto the field; I felt Shadow's growl, felt my hackles rise, and heard Bit's thoughts. 'O why oh why oh why did we have to get them for the first match! I mean, Harry I could deal with, he'd be so obsessed with Leena it would take one shot!'
"Bit Cloud. We meet again." "Jack." Time stood still; and then the zoids erupted into action. The lightning siax formed into formation, racing madly over the plains, depending on speed and not on stealth or power. I ran over our options.
Brad. Not much firepower, but stealth and enough speed to matter, plus strike laser claw. The only liability was his armor. It was light, and could only take a few hits. Definitely designed for hit-and-run.
Leena. Slow, clumsy. But it had lots of firepower, fairly good armor, and a sense of timing. The weakness was the pilot. She was hotheaded, rushed into things, and depended on ammo. She also had a very big tendency to waste ammunition.
Us. We had almost no weapons, good armor, speed as good as Jack's Siax, and the intelligence to use it to our advantage. Good enough. But we had to let Bit think he'd beaten Jack. I remembered Liger's trick, all those centuries ago, when he had crushed Irvine's zoid. I could do that too, now, but almost invariably, if we performed it in front of all the people watching, there would be inquiries into our source of power.
No. Bit had to do it, trusting in his innate skill, His cunning, his luck, in us, and for the others to destroy the Tasker twins. As much as I hated the fact, Bit had to take control. All these thoughts took place in a second, before Jack split from the twins and ran for the edge.
The boosters hummed, Liger flexed his claws, and we were running! Side by side, we raced the wind, gravity pulling at us, slamming us backwards. {Raven?} I grinned, right on time. *Yeah?* {Shadowrage and I are in position.} /The Fury and his pilot are destroying all opposition./*Okay, thanks for watching. See ya.* The mind-link cut off, leaving me to focus on the gorge ahead.
Bit shook in his seat, exerting all his control on Liger. Warnings that he was approaching the edge of the battlefield bleeped in his ears. He ground his teeth together as they leaped! Hanging in space, suspended over air, the Liger landed, righted itself, raced into the forest.
Jack skidded to a stop, looking frantically around him. "Damn you, Bit Cloud," he swore under his breath. The Taskers were out of the cup. A roar cut the still air, as the Liger dropped onto him, claws outstretched, glowing.
The Siax roared, high and keening, death's rattle. Jack sat, stunned. The almighty king of mercenaries had been beaten. He hauled himself out of the cockpit and walked over to the Liger's pilot. "Good job, Bit Cloud." He nodded in acknowledgement. "Thanks." The Liger walked back to the Hovercargo, where the Blitz received the first code.
Inside the Liger, I smiled. Bit had won, we had the first code, and I was closer to my objective of fixing Fury. Personally, I hoped we didn't have to use the Panzer armor. I hated it, the cold, dead weight. The next battle I hoped would be more entertaining.
FS- Next, Leon and the Red Blade Liger, in Scheinder! See ya!
