A/N: Sorry for the long delay but I haven't had much time to write. I've accepted all of the characters that were submitted BEFORE this chapter but will not use them all in every chapter. I'd like to thank those people who changed their zoid from a Blade Liger to something else. For all those people who didn't… I put all your names into a hat and a few were selected to keep their blade ligers. The others will be given other zoids that were also selected from the hat. If you have a problem… look at this quote from Doc, "The Blade Liger is a very rare unit with only a handful in existence". I did the same thing with the Shadow Foxes. Sorry for any disappointments but not everyone can have some super rare zoid .I put some Mercs together with teams and …it's time to start the story!

**Zoid Battlefield, Valley Area**
Dark Judge: Ready…
BOOM!
The Judge Capsule rose from the ground next to the Dark Judge Capsule. It opened and the Judge activated.
Dark Judge: What?! You again!
Judge: HAHAHAHA! This battle has been deemed invalid and will be canceled.
Dark Judge: Why does this always happen?
Judge: Area scanned. Battlefield set-up. The Backdraft Team VS The Star Strike Team. Battle-mode 0982. Ready…FIGHT!
Dark Judge: NOT AGAIN!
The Genosaurer on the Backdraft Team roared and clicked its claws. The pilot scowled at the fact that the ZBC dared to interfere in the affairs of the Backdraft Group. The Black Reddler and Red Storm Sworder flew overhead. The pilots were a little worried. The Saber Tiger that stood next to Genosaurer roared and pointed both its gattling rifles in front of it.
A pale blue ZBC Whale King lowered from the sky. The ZBC ensignia was barely visible on the faded transport. The Main Ramp opened and a Reddler flew into the sky. A Command Wolf was launched next. A liger type zoid with two large cannons on its back landed next to the Command Wolf and roared at the Genosaurer. The last zoid to be launched was one like no other. It was a black cat-like zoid that appeared to have a beak. It had two thrusters in a V shape on its back.
The pilot of the Black Storm Gryphon pulled his finger-less gloves back into place and smiled. He had been selected to test what was hoped to be one of the Zoid Battle Commission's greatest weapons. Kyle Howard was one of the ZBC's most reliable test pilots. He was one of the first people to get to pilot all the new zoids. The last zoid he tested was a new type of Raynos designed for stealth combat.
The Reddler and Black Reddler were already fighting. The paint on the Reddler was scratched up. It looked as is the zoid had been crashed several times. It had. The pilot was Ting Lee better known as the Kamikaze. She had been offered a lot of money by the ZBC to fight in this battle and she was "happy" to accept. She ran out of money when she bought her Reddler. It was the only zoid she could afford after crashing her Pteres.
The Trinity Liger BA was designed specifically to fight the Geno Saurer. That was why it was assigned to this battle. Peter Ward, the zoid's pilot, wasn't happy about having to work with a team but he had to follow orders. He'd fought this particular Geno Saurer before and was the perfect choice for the battle.
Katie North's Command Wolf let out a howl. It was going to fight the Saber Tiger. Katie thought it would be too easy of a battle. She had recently updated her Command Wolf to a Command Wolf AC. Its had also been painted white like the old army Command Wolves.
The Geno Saurer and Trinity Liger started trading fire as the Black Storm Gryphon flew into the air. It started a dogfight with the Storm Sworder. The two Reddlers were still dueling and neither seemed to be gaining the upper hand.
The Command Wolf ran by as the Saber Tiger fired its gattling rifles. Katie suddenly turned her zoid and started charging for the Saber Tiger. The zoid served out of the way of shots and jumped into the air when it got close to the Saber Tiger. As it turned in the air, the Command Wolf's cannon turned and blew the Gattling Rifles right off the tiger-like zoid. The Backdraft zoid fell to the ground and the Command Wolf ran towards the rest of the battle.
The Black Storm Gryphon was flying as fast as it could but it couldn't keep up with the Storm Sworder. It was able to out maneuver the zoid but couldn't keep avoiding it forever. The BSG was already running out of flight power. The flight power was getting closer to zero as the Storm Sword opened its blades and began flying towards the BSG. Just as the BackDraft zoid was about to slice through the BSG, Kyle fired the zoid's shot cannon and began descending towards the ground.
The Storm Sworder's pilot ejected as the zoid plummeted to the ground. The BSG landed on the ground, wings still open, and the Storm Sworder hit the ground and exploded (This leads to a really cool looking scene).
The Black Reddler's pilot was trying his best to avoid the other Reddler but couldn't. He kept taking hits and almost crashed into the enemy. The Kamikaze's Reddler opened its tail blade and flew at the Black Reddler. One flying slash sent the Black Reddler plummeting towards the ground without one of its wings.
The GenoSaurer and Trinity Liger were still staring each other down. Neither moved, even when the Black Reddler crashed to the ground and exploded behind the Geno Saurer.
BOOM!
The Command Wolf had been shot down by something. Everyone turned to see two Geno Saurers and an Iron Kong were standing about twenty feet away. Everyone turned to look at them.
Dark Judge: What now?
Judge: Why don't you answer that question?
Kyle: Who're you?
IronKongPilot: We work for Doom. Neither the BackDraft Group nor the Commission will be able to stop our quest for world domination!
The pilot of the Backdraft Geno Saurer was angered by this. Vince Draylor was on his way to becoming the greatest pilot in the BackDraft Group and he wasn't about to lets some new guys stop the plans of the Backdraft group.
Vince fired his pulse lasers at the Iron Kong several times. The zoid was caught off guard and its arm was blown off. The large zoid toppled over and the two Geno Saurers turned to Vince's. They fired their charged particle cannons.
Vince avoided the beams but not the explosion. His zoid was sent flying into the air. It hit the ground and slid a short distance before coming to a stop. Vince's zoid struggled to its feet. The two Doom Geno Saurers walked up. They were readying their charged particle cannons when the Trinity Liger BA, Reddler, and Black Storm Gryphon started firing on them.
One of the GenoSaurers jumped to the side and readied its charged particle cannon. It fired and both ligers jumped out of the way. The Trinity Liger fired its beam cannons while the BSG fired its laser rifle. The GenoSaurer lost its back mounted weapons as the Trinity Liger charged forward.
Peter: Strike Laser Claw!
The Trinity Liger landed and the Geno Saurer fell over. One of its legs had been clawed off. The other GenoSaurer fired its grappling claws and grabbed both the Trinity Liger and the BSG. It began shocking them. Suddenly the Reddler shot from the sky like a missile. It smashed right into the Geno Saurer, causing an explosion. A few moments later, Ting limped out of the wreckage and over to the other three pilots.
The Zoids allied to Doom retreated and the Back Draft zoids did the same. Both Judge capsules took off as the ZBC Whale King appeared once again.
*** Meanwhile, Coastal Area***
Four people sat around a campfire, eating lunch. Their zoids were shrouded in shadow by the high cliffs behind them (none of them are evil, BecBect. Though one has some issues). The Pyrotechnics Team had just ended their losing streak by defeating the Champ Team.
Mal Genji, the Team Leader, stood up. She brushed some of her hair back and then looked back to the rest of the team.
Mal: All right Team! If we keeping winning like we did today then we'll be in Class A in no time!
Revia: You do know that we're one of the lowest ranked Class B teams there is?
Miles: The only ones lower than us are the Fuzzy Pandas and Champ Teams.
Mal: Yes I know that. But it doesn't matter! With Trinity and her lightning siax adding to our already great power, we can beat anyone in our way!
Revia: What about the Blitz Team.
Mal: Okay, anyone but them.
Miles: Or the Lightning Team.
Revia: Don't forget about the Fleugal Team.
Mal: All right! We won't beat everyone. We're just going to do our best.
The oldest member of the Pyrotechnics Team smirked and picked up her cup of coffee. Trinity Kyle was a mercenary that had been hired for a few battles by Mal. She was just going to leave unless they kept paying her, but even she had to admit that they were starting to grow on her.
Revia: Too bad we don't have an underwater zoid…
Miles: Yeah, then we could go exploring underwater.
The team continued to eat when a black storm sworder landed near the water. The cockpit opened and someone in a lab coat, black pants, a red t-shirt, and a pair of sunglasses jumped out. He ran over then tried to catch his breath.
Trinity: Who are you?
LabCoat: I'm Dr. Ivo Strike. You're the Pyrotechnics Team, right?
Mal: Yeah, that's us. What do you want?
Ivo: I'm supposed to give you this. *Hands each member of the Team an envelope*
Each member of the Team examined their envelope. They then opened them. A strange green gas was released from each. The Pyrotechnics Team fell to the ground, knocked out by the gas.
Ivo: *over radio* Bring the Whale King around.
A neon orange Whale King lowered from a cloud and began descending. As the zoids, warriors, and everything else were loaded onto the whale king, a young girl with dirty blond hair and silver sunglasses put down her binoculars and began walking back to her motorcycle.
***BackDraft HQ; Unknown location***
Count: Two Geno Saurers and an Iron Kong?
Vince: Yes. Those are the zoids they had.
Count: And they claimed to be working for someone called "Doom"?
Vince: Yes, and they said that the attack was part of a plan for World Domination.
All seven members of the Committee of Seven whispered to each other. Vince waited patiently for them to finish. They were silent and the Count turned back to Vince.
Count: This potential threat to the organization cannot be overlooked. Mr. Draylor, we are putting you in charge of investigating and eliminating this threat. You will have all the resources you need. The BackDraft Committee of Seven has spoken.
***Right outside the building***
Batzy: Oh crud. The BackDraft Group will be after us now… I'd better go warn Doom.
The Robotic Bat flew from the windowsill towards the mountains.
