SHADOWY SNIPER CH 3,
TRIED AND TRUE
The Zoid let out a low growl before taking one or two steps towards Brad. It growled again, then turned to Naomi and hissed.
"That's how my Gun Sniper--" Brad returned the hand-over-mouth move before "shooshing" her. The Zoid was silent for a few seconds, then reared its head back and howled. At least, it sounded like a howl. It had a slight hiss in the background. Brad and Naomi took a few steps back, but the Zoid stepped once and came within ten feet of them. It leaned forward then lay down, bringing its head to the ground. When Brad and Naomi didn't move, it opened its cockpit to welcome them. Brad walked up to it with Naomi close behind. It growled impatiently.
"Alright, we're going." Brad said unconsciously. He stepped up on its paw, then into the cockpit. There were two seats. "Come on Naomi." Naomi walked up and took the same path into the cockpit and took her seat in the back. It was comfortable, almost like her Gun Sniper. She recognized a button on the control panel that allowed the pilot to take his or her place at the tail gun. Brad sat in the front seat with the same feeling of dejavoo. He looked around until information came up on his screen.
Sniper Fox operational………A display of weapons came up. "Okay, a Laser Vulcan Gun, Strike Laser Claws, two missile pods, a smokescreen, an electromagnetic net, two 40mm guns, and a 144mm tail sniping gun." Brad let out a long whistle. "This is something, isn't it?"
"Yeah," Naomi was too occupied with her controls to listen to Brad. Something else came up on their screens.
Control of movement, Laser Vulcan Gun, missile pods, Strike Laser Claws, boosters, smokescreen, and electromagnetic net goes to pilot #1.
Control of tail gun and 40mm shoulder mounted guns goes to pilot #2.
"Ya get that Naomi?"
"Sure did. I'm pilot two right?"
"Why, you want control of the tail gun?"
"Naturally." Yet another set of information came up. It was a 3D diagram of the Zoid.
"Wow Naomi! This is a combination of my Shadow Fox and your Gun Sniper!"
"Really, how long did it take you to figure that out? We saw them merge."
"Oh, sorry. I'm just excited." Naomi laughed. The picture showed what looked like the Shadow Fox with modifications. It had an extra large and sharp claw on each foot, a larger tail with a snipering gun on the end, small guns on the shoulders, missile pods on the side of the Vulcan Cannon, and two Gun Sniper horns just behind the ears. Not to mention two large fangs that could be seen with the mouth closed. On the hind legs were two boosters.
"Naomi?"
"Yeah."
"Why'd this happen?"
"You expect me to know? I'm probably five times more confused than you!" A list of statistics appeared.

"Are you getting this too?"
"Yeah."
"Well it needs too pilots."
"Yeah…"
"So, I guess that means we have to team up."
"Well Brad, I'd have to say that's the only thing you've said in the last half hour that makes sense."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ride back was going great. The controls were slightly different, but easy to learn. When they spotted a cliff, Naomi had to test out the tail gun. The Fox's anchors worked their way into the cliff to keep from sliding at all. Naomi pushed the button and slid down into the compartment. "Ooh, this is new."
"What?"
"Well, there's a heat seeker
on here if we need it. Now, what's this
button? Hmm, oh, it must be the radar
that can see through cloaking devices.
Okay, target practice." She aimed at a few trees and blew them to
pieces. When she came back in the main
cockpit, the smile on her face was all Brad needed to tell how it went.
They also tested the boosters on the way back, before realizing that they had left Leon's Blade Liger at the edge of the forest. They used the boosters again to get back to the Liger as fast as they could.
~*~*~
When they reached it, it was starting to get dark. Naomi decided that she should pilot it since Brad had his hands full with the Sniper Fox. When Naomi jumped out, the Fox growled.
"Oh, what? She'll be back." It growled again, more fiercely. A warning flashed on the screen.
*WARNING! WARNING!* ENEMY ZOIDS APPROACHING!
"Where?! Naomi, get back here, or run to the Liger! The Fox detected enemy Zoids headed this way!" They both looked around and saw nothing. "But there's nothing showing--" A radar map came up showing just how close the Zoids were. They were within one hundred feet, and surrounding both of them.
"Naomi! Hurry!"
"I don't see anything!"
"Me eith--wait!" He flipped on the special sensor he'd used the first time he piloted the Shadow Fox. "I see them! Three Helcats in cloaking devices! They've got us surrounded!" Naomi ran to the Liger and tried to climb in, but one of the 'Cats blasted it.
"Ahhh!" She fell to the ground.
"Naomi!" The Fox growled fiercer than ever before aiming the Laser Vulcan Gun at one, as it locked on to another with the missile pods. A message came up on the screen.
-*- FIRE? -*-
"Do it!" The gun and missiles fired, sending flashes of light into the air. The first 'Cat fell immediately after hits from the cannon, while the second tried to run from the missiles. To no avail. The third fired twice, both hits, but couldn't take Brad down before he used 'Strike Laser Claw' to finish it off. Naomi lay motionless on the ground.
Shadowwolf: OH NO! Not again. Why do I always hurt Naomi?!?!?! AHHHHHHH!!! *light bulb appears above her head* I've got it! So Brad can save her… *snickers*
Brad: -.o
Shadowwolf: Okay, please check out Sakura's fic, there's another chapter coming soon! HUGS TO ALL!!!! Too much sugar…
