ZOIDS X-TREME CHAOTIC CENTURY
Chapter 2: Enter the SABERLION!
*********************************
A mirage is always shown in the desert, you think you see something, but, as you get closer it suddenly disappears. As the heat from the early sun beat down another mirage was shown but this time it was real. Ansem, the gold organoid, was flying over the sand with the back and foot boosters going at an incredible speed.
As Ansem was riding through the sand, Lani was on his back cross-legged with her goggles on checking out her hand-held computer and surveying the surrounding. As she was typing away on the computer to enter her records, something caught the corner of her goggled eye. She adjusted her goggles to see what caught her eye,
"Ansem! Make a 90 degree longitude angle northeast of here!"
"You got it Lani."
When she gave out the command, Ansem pushed his boosters to the max and headed at the direction she assigned him to go.
************** The ancient Ruin **************
Building after building was shown and every one was intact as though no one touched them. They were all covered with manuscripts of ancient drawings of Zoids in a primitive way when they walked on planet Zi; Ansem was slowing down at the nearby temple in the middle and gently landed on the sand as Lani jumped off his back.
Through her goggled eyes, she pulled out a plug from her computer and input the plug into her goggles, scanning the surrounding area to try to identify what these ruins are and from,
"Hm, it's obviously from ancient times, but no research or documents are found to identify this.....What do you think, Ansem?"
His green eyes gave a full scan of the buildings and ended up with nothing. Lani sighed at the disappointment, so she decided to scout the ruins and do her own research on them; she grabbed her bag and started to go deeper inside. Ansem was walking right behind her until he suddenly stopped with his head shot up in the air as if his sixth sense was acting up.
He looked up where there was a cliff, but, there was nothing but the sand rolling with the wind, he heard Lani's voice and walked away with a low growl.
Up on the cliff where Ansem had looked, a figure and a larger figure walked out the shadows and stood there, watching them traveling through the ruins.
The figure gave a wide smirk and with that the two vanished with the wind rolling until the awakening.
******************
About 20 minutes had passed since their arrival and they still came up with nothing of these ruins so they decided to move to another building to find more clues or important information. As Lani packed her stuff and trudged through the scorching sand and sun, she somehow stumbled on something and fell flat on her face,
"What the...?" she looked at where she tripped and with amazement, she found a Zoid part. She picked it up quickly and examined it very closely; it was a navy and light blue piece of armor of some kind that obviously came from a Zoid.
She was soon disturbed from her thoughts when she heard Ansem came up right behind her and was jumping up and down, pointing at something,
"I found something incredible! Come one!" Ansem pushed his head at her back and flipped her on to his back and flew at full speed.
"ANSEM! SLOW DOWN! If you don't tell me where you are taking me I'll..."
Before she could say anything further, Ansem dropped her on the sand and stood by something big. Lani was about to clobber him till there was no tomorrow when she spotted the something that Ansem wanted to show her,
"Ansem is that.....!"
"Yes.....Its what we both are thinking!" Lani was speechless of what she saw, all covered in sand and centuries old. A living zoid right in front of her eyes. She got closer to it and dusted the sand off of its head and inspected it,
"I have seen this zoid somewhere.... Hmmm....wait!"
Her eyes shot wide open as her excitement grew. Lani ran to her bag and pulled out her personalized computer, "Ansem I need to have your screenshots of those pictures you took a while ago at the ancient temples." Ansem complied and his finger soon shot out like a web and connected to her computer.
After a few moments of downloading, images appeared on her screen and she quickly went through each one to find the picture she was looking for. Lani came across a picture that was vaguely visible so doubled clicked on it to increase image and in no time her eyes grew again in amazement,
"Its the...... SaberLion!"
She looked back at the gigantic navy blue zoid with a look of a lion and a big scythe on its head. Lani tapped her shoes and crossed her arms to think hard on what to do with her discovery. Ansem was just standing at the SaberLion looking at it strangely with wonder and sensing an unknown power within that's growing rapidly, without a moment to spare Ansem was glowing a bright golden color, then shot into the sky and plummeted into the Zoid.
A great surge-like power swept through the sand and completely threw Lani off the ground; she flew into a nearby stone wall but luckily wasn't hurt too bad. She winced a little at the soreness and looked back to see what happened. The out of commission Zoid was now standing in front of her in perfect order and roaring with triumph.
Lani was shaking in excitement and trembled slowly to the Zoid. As she got closer the top hatch opened up to reveal a cockpit. It took her a nano-second to jump into the cockpit and take hold of the controls, as soon as everything was operational she felt a bit overconfident and decided to give out the first command,
"Alright, Saberlion! Let's go at full speed! MOBILIZE!"
The Zoid roared in approval and just like that it shot out like a pouncing lion in the grass at incredible speed. Lani's whole body was squeezing against the back of her seat at how fast they were going; only problem is where are they going?
************ A zoid battle ************
"Van Freiheit.....I have found you at last" a coolly smirked voice was heard over the intercom.
"Raven...."
Van gritted his teeth in anger as the red Geno Breaker was standing in front of his Blade Liger and the Gustav behind with two other Zoids on each side. The Dibison was on the left with Thomas Schubaltz as the pilot, armed and ready to attack, on the right was the Lightning Saix with Irvine holding the controls steady and waiting to attack.
"MOBILIZE ZEKE!" Van yelled and Zeke growled as the Blade Liger charged right at the Geno Breaker, Raven smirked at his foolishness and charged also. They were about to collide when both of their intercoms heard a female voice screaming in panic,
"AHHHHHHH! STOP! STOP! STOP! ANSEM MAKE IT STOP BEFORE IT CAUSES DAMAGE!!" Lani was in great fear as the Saberlion wouldn't stop and was about to collide with the Blade Liger.
A loud clash was heard and the Saberlion took a direct hit onto the Blade Liger and was lying on top of the blue zoid. Van was hit pretty hard and fell unconscious but Lani was ok and got her Zoid to get off of the Blade Liger.
"Who do you think you are to barge into a battle woman!?" Raven was obviously angry at Lani's intrusion as he was about to win in his opinion, Lani was baffled at his attitude and since she is a bit ill tempered,
"HEY I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALIVE!"
"Ch! I can't believe that you are alive either"
"Do you even care if I die?" Lani asked in a questionable and annoyed gesture.
"Not really, I live to destroy" Raven said in cockiness and stuck up mood, Raven then mobilized his Zoid to hers and shoved her away, "Now it's time to finish off Van Freiheit once and for all!"
Raven got his Geno Breaker into position for the charged particle cannon and was charging to fire. As he was still charging for his attack, Lani quickly got up from her impact and since she would not let a defenseless Zoid to be taken down, she rammed the Geno's head to the other direction as it fired.
"Why you little brat!" Raven took out one of his large pinchers and clamped them down to Lani's SaberLion, it seemed hopeless for Lani to escape the wrath of the pinchers that were squeezing and crushing the Zoid in half,
"Hmm, I'll make sure you won't be around to intrude in anymore battles, my young friend!"
The claw was about to use its final blow when the Saberlion just vanished its grasp. This surprised Raven and everyone else that was looking, he looked around to find her in confusion till he felt something on his Geno Breaker.
"That's impossible! No one can move that fast!" Raven for the first time actually sounded afraid and surprised. Lani was chewing on the back of the Geno Breaker and clawing it till it flipped her around, she landed safely and gave a sly smug.
Raven glared at her with anger and just before he could make a move, the Blade Liger, Dibison and Lightning Saix were standing around the Saberlion. He saw this and smirked as he left, as he left he gave one last word,
"You may not have heard me before, but I don't let my enemies live for long...you will be the one to go after Van.....Heh"
He soon flew out of sight and Lani sighed in relief as to end her first ever zoid battle. She jumped out of the Saberlion, as did Ansem and was glad to see him again, she then remembered that blue Zoid she ran into so started to run in its aid.
As soon as she got there, a girl with blonde hair was helping Van out of Liger and four more people were by his side, Zeke, Moonbay, Irvine, and Thomas. They all turned their heads to see someone running and realized it was the pilot who ran into Van, Moonbay was the first to speak,
"I don't know who you are but you got some nerve coming in like that! You could of got us all killed!" she had her arms flying in the air until Irvine came to settle her down, Thomas came up to Lani to give her a fair warning,
"Like Moonbay said I don't know who you are but you got some explaining of your actions, this is for the Guardian Force and any personnel who are handling the case of Raven, so do you have an excuse?"
Thomas was waiting for her answer but Lani was fidgeting with her fingers and fretting of her excuse and making it look good till the blonde hair girl came up in front of Lani with her face expressionless,
"Please, Thomas, she didn't mean to intrude on the battle, did you?"
She gave a smiling gaze at her and Lani immediately shook her head in response, Thomas was blushing bright red at how close he was to her, "Um....I guess you are right Miss Fiona....I'm sorry for my actions....at least tell us your name?"
"Oh! It's...its Lani and this is Ansem!" Ansem made a light roar sound instead of talking so he wouldn't creep them out of an organoid talking, Fiona smiled brightly and turned her direction to the others,
"Well Lani and Ansem since you have already met Van in the Blade Liger this is Moonbay, Irvine, and Thomas"
Moonbay apologized to Lani from her outburst and gladly shook hands with her as did Irvine and Thomas, as the introductions were over Van walked over with Zeke by his side and had his arms crossed,
"I must say that your Zoid is really impressive and your organoid...." Lani gave a shy smile and blushed at his comment and felt a strong hand on her shoulder as he smiled brightly.
"So why not join the Guardian Force? It would be a great honor for you and your zoid to join us" Lani was in a completely speechless mood, but then a question popped into her head,
"What is the Guardian Force anyway?"
"Its an organization to help protect the people and uphold the peace of Planet Zi, right now we are handling Raven, he was the one with the Geno Breaker. He has been causing chaos on Zi for as long as anyone can remember......are you still willing to join?"
Lani soon flopped to the sand cross-legged and stroking her chin in deep thought, everyone was looking at her in flabbergasted. Lani eyes shot opened and she jumped from her sitting position to everyone's surprise and gave out the victory sign,
"Protecting the peace sounds like fun! We are with ya to the end right Ansem?" Ansem gave a growl to agree. Everyone gave a hearty smile and laughed till Moonbay called out,
"We got a call from Dr. D that a sandstorm is coming! So lets move on!
Van nodded his head and looked back at Lani,
"When we get inside you can tell us all about yourself since you are now on the team" She slyly gave another smile and they all walked inside of the Gustav as a sandstorm was brewing up.
******************************
On top of a hill where the battle was seen the hooded figure and other one were watching the whole thing, the hooded one had a big smirk on its face,
"Heheh, soon my young one you will open your locked memories you had hidden for so long.....Hahahah!" as the hooded figure was laughing the monstrous figure behind it glowed its piercing red eyes and roared as the wind of sand blew across their way and vanished.
