TRIALS FOR LIGAR 0-JOINING THE LIGAR TEAM
"Grrrr, COME BACK HERE ACE!" Leo yelled as he chased after Ace who was holding a pink, folded piece of paper.
"Hehehehe! Sorry, no can do Leo the Love Bird!" Ace laughed as he ran from the enraged Leo. Ace led Leo into the Zoid hanger where Iris was working. "Heyyyyy Iris! Let's see what this says! What do ya say Leo?!" Ace called happily as he waved the pink paper. "Iris you resemble the iris flower that blooms ever so beautifully! You're body resembles that of a super model! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"ACE YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!" Leo yelled as he tackled Ace and put him in a headlock.
"Heh, Iris you didn't hear anything," Leo said giving a dumb laugh.
"So immature," Iris thought to herself.
Soon a small monitor in the hanger lit up with Doc Taros' face on it. "Ace, are you there?"
"Y... yeah (choke) Doc!" Ace forced as he was choked.
"Come on up here, I need to talk to you," replied Doc.
"S... sure Doc be there ... in a ... sec," Ace forced again.
Minutes later Ace was able to escape Leo's rage and make his way to Taros. "What's up Doc?" Ace questioned upon entering.
"Ah Ace you're here!" Doc said happily.
"So what's up?" Ace asked cocking his head and putting his arms behind it.
"Well we just received a message from the ZBC," Jessie answered. The screen on the wall turned on and showed pictures of the message. "You and your Ligar 0 have been challenged."
"Why just me and Ligar?" Ace asked.
"Well, you've been asked to participate in battle mode 1-0-3-5," explained Jessie.
"1-0-3-5?" Ace asked puzzled.
"One of the new rules made by the ZBC," replied Doc. "You and Ligar 0 are to participate in trial battles by the team that has challenged you."
"How many trials? And what team?" questioned Ace.
"How ever many they want you to. And the team is called the Ligar team," answered the Doc.
Soon a picture appeared on the large monitor in front of the three. It showed a person of about 17. He had brown hair that spiked straight back, green eyes, and light skin. He wore a brown vest and red shirt under it and tan cargo pants. "Hello Ace Striker, my name is Sage Li. I'm the leader of the Ligar team. I'm sure the ZBC has given you a message that we challenge only you and your Ligar 0 in three trial battles starting tomorrow," the boy said.
"What are these trial battles for?" Ace asked.
"To see if you are good enough to be on my team," replied Sage.
"What?" Ace gave a puzzled look.
"Yes. You see, I'm trying to build the ultimate team of the best Zoids. And the Zoid I found the best was the Ligar type. I've so far gained two others on my team and can only have one more team member. It's been very hard to find another great Zoid and warrior but after seeing your previous battles, you and your Ligar 0 have cough my attention," Sage explained. "I've never seen a Ligar such as yours and it truly amazes me to see it and you in action. So I wish to put you through trials to see if you can be on my team."
"Yeah but who says I will want to be on your team if I do pass the trials?" Ace questioned.
"Well that's one of the beauties of mode 1-0-3-5. You see, in any of the trails, if you lose you automatically come on to our team. But if you win the first two you advance to another trial. And if you ever win the final trial, you get to choose which team to be on," Sage answered.
"Doc?" Ace turned.
"Those are the rules," Doc shrugged.
"Hmm," Ace thought. "Well, sure I guess I'll take part in your trials. It just might catch other people's attention at just how good Ligar and I are! So okay, I ACCEPT!"
"Great! The trials star tomorrow at 12 hundred hours," Sage said right before the screen went blank.
Later that night, Ace walked into the Zoid hanger and up to Ligar 0. "Well boy, are you ready?" Ace asked smiling up at Ligar 0. The Ligar gave a low growl in reply. "Yeah, let's go out there and show'em what we're made of!" Ace smiled then walked back to his room.
The next day came and the Hover Cargo pulled up. The catapult opened up and the
Ligar 0 rose up. "Now mobilizing Ligar 0!" Ace called as the Zoid was launched. The Ligar 0 landed and slid to a stop. Soon a white judge capsule crashed into the ground and the judge rose up.
"This area is now an official Zoid battle field. Only combatants and personal are allowed on. Danger all others must leave the area at once," announced the judge. "Area scanned, battle field set up! Battle mode 1-0-3-5, trial one of three! Ace Striker vs. Jake Shot! Ready... FIGHT!"
"Hey, where's my enemy?" Ace questioned puzzled. Soon the Ligar 0 was getting shelled.
"The battle's started rookie!" a cocky voice came over Ace's intercom. The Ligar 0 jumped forward and started to zigzag.
"Hey who are you and where are you?" Ace yelled.
"The name's Jake Shot!" the voice responded. "I specialize in sniping, cause I have perfect shot!" The Ligar 0 was soon hit and fell to the ground.
"What?! There's no such Ligar that can shoot that accurately!" Ace said angrily as the Ligar 0 got up.
"Ha! That just show's your own ignorance," Jake snapped. "This is a new model Ligar. It's called the Snipe Ligar!" (and yes this is a real zoid. It's one of Tomy's newest models ^_^)
"The Snipe Ligar?" Ace gasped shock. The Ligar 0 was soon being shelled once again. "Run Ligar!" Ace yelled as he turned the controls. The Ligar 0 ran to the right and began to zigzag again. "I think it's time for some speed!" Ace smiled as he pushed a yellow button on the control panel. The engine covers lifted up and the engines engaged.
Hidden behind an archway of two rocks was an orange Ligar. Its cockpit was just white and orange with only a small window atop the head. Mounted on the side of its back was a long, huge sniper rifle that resembled Naomi's Gun Sniper's tail. On the lower, mid area of the Ligar's back was a shorter but big sniper gun. Its shoulders bulged out with small missile holders and launchers. "So, you think you're fast?" Jake smiled. "Well then just let me switch guns!" the barrel of the sniper rifle was withdrawn and the Ligar turned around. It then stuck the barrel of its back sniper gun.
"Ha! Not even Naomi can hit a Zoid moving at 200 mph!" Ace smiled. But the Ligar 0 was soon knocked over. "Ah! What?! No way!"
"Ha! With this sniper gun, I can hit a fast moving target!" Jake laughed. The Ligar 0 began to get up. "Well I guess you lose. But I wish you didn't have to come to our team," Jake frowned as he cocked his sniper gun.
Just then the Ligar 0 shot off its Shot cannon at the ground. "Hey what the heck are you doing?" Jake wined as dust and smoke began to cover the Ligar 0. "I can't see ya!"
"That's the point!" Ace smiled. "Doc, prepare for Jager transformation!"
"I'm on it Ace!" Doc Taros responded.
The Ligar 0 quickly ran out of the dust and toward the Hover Cargo. It soon boarded the Hover Cargo. "Ligar 0 secure on maintenance deck!" Jessie said over the intercom. Ace turned the controls outward and pulled back. Soon the mechanical arms came out and removed the Zero armor. "Activating system, Jager!" Ace said. He turned the controls back up and pushed forward. The wall of the H.C. stopped turning and opened up. Then mechanical arms came out and connected the blue Jager armor. "Ligar 0 Jager CAS complete!" Jessie said as the Ligar rose up to the launcher.
"Go JAGER!" Ace called.
"Hey where did he go?" Jake called looking around puzzled.
"Here I am!" Ace called.
"What the?!" Jake gasped in surprise. "Take this!" The Snipe Ligar shot off numerous rounds at the Jager. But the bullets only hit the Jager's after image. "WHAT?!" Jake cried in anger.
"Man that was close. Okay, let's see if you can hit a target moving this fast!" Ace smiled. He pushed buttons on top of the controls and turned them inward then pushed forward. The ion boosters opened up and shot the Ligar 0 forward at a high speed.
"AH! Where'd he go?!" Jake yelled annoyed.
"Behind ya!" Ace said in a cocky voice. As the Ligar 0 closed in quickly its fore legs began to glow yellow. "STRIKE LASER CLAW!" And with super speed the Jager flew past the Snipe Ligar. The Ligar 0 Jager then landed and roared. And with that, the Snipe Ligar fell with its left legs cut.
"The trial is over, the trial is over! The winner is, Ace Striker!" announced the judge.
"Grrr, NO WAY THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Jake yelled in a rage.
The next day...
BOOM! The judge capsule rose out of its crater. The Ligar 0 stood in front of its new opponent. "Wow, that's a pretty flashy Zoid," Ace said stunned at the enemy Zoid's color. There in front of him stood a pink Ligar. Its legs had midsize intakes on them, a face blade on both sides of its face, and two large blades folded up on its back. The Zoid resembled a supped up Blade Ligar.
"Don't make fun of Ligra!" a girl screamed.
"Ah! S... sorry," Ace jumped back with a large sweat drop on his head.
"This is Ligra, a Slash Ligar (yes another real and new Zoid by Tomy). And I am Kristy Blade," the girl explained.
"Trial #2 of three! Kristy Blade vs. Ace Striker," the judge announced. "Battle field set up. Ready... FIGHT!"
"Here I come!" Kristy cried as her Slash Ligar lunged at the Ligar 0. The S. Ligar's face blades flipped over its face. "Come on Ace, show me what you've got!" The Slash Ligar quickly slashed the Ligar 0 in its left leg. The Ligar 0 fell to its side but recovered back to its feet. The armor on the Ligar 0's left shoulder was split in half and its leg was fizzing from the damage.
"You okay Ligar?" Ace asked his partner. The Ligar 0 roared then charged its enemy. The two Zoids then began to wrestle on each other clawing and biting. The two then pushed away from each other and landed 20ft away. The Slash Ligar extended its back blades and began its assault. "Okay Ligar, let's get her! STRIKE LASER CLAW!" Ace cried as the Ligar 0 jumped high into the air.
"Huh?!" Kristy gasped as the Ligar 0 jumped over her Zoid and slashed it in the back. The Ligar 0 landed on its feet but the Slash Ligar fell to its belly. "Nice job Ace," Kristy smiled as she closed her back blades and got up. And as soon as the Ligar 0 turned around, the Slash Ligar had already lunged at it. The Ligar 0 then did the same.
"Ligar! What are you doing?!" Ace cried. The Ligar 0 then engaged its ion boosters and flew quickly toward the ground. And with a quick rebound off the ground, the Ligar 0 jump right under the Slash Ligar with its claws held out.
The Slash Ligar went flying and landed on its side a good yards away. "Wow! Great shot Ligar!" Ace happily smiled. The Ligar 0 quickly turned and ran toward the H.C.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Ace yelled at his Zoid as it boarded the Hover Cargo. Ace then noticed on his control panel the word: Schneider.
"Oh I see now buddy. Okay, Jessie!" Ace grinned.
"Ligar 0 secured on maintenance deck!" Jessie called over the intercom. Ace turned his controls then pulled back. The mechanical arms came out and removed the Zero armor and soon the Ligar 0 had transformed into the Ligar 0 Schneider.
"Go SCHNEIDER!" Ace yelled as the Ligar 0 was launched.
"So there you are Ace Striker!" Kristy said. "Hey, what's that?" The Schneider's face blades flipped over its face as it ran toward the Slash Ligar.
"Ligar 0 Schneider!" responded Ace.
"So now we're evenly matched," smiled Kristy. The two Zoids began to fight clashing their face blades. Each moved with great agility to block the other's attack.
"BUSTER SLASH!" both pilots yelled as their face blades began to glow. Both jumped straight into each other crossing face blades.
But right as the Slash Ligar was about to pass the Ligar 0, the Schneider extended its side blades and the Slash Ligar slammed into it. Two blades few straight up in the spinning wildly. The two Zoids soon landed. The Schneider landed on its belly with its left face blade sticking up in the ground right next to it. And the Slash Ligar bounced off its back then flipped to its stomach with its left face blade next to it as well.
"The trial is over, the trial is over!" cried the judge. "The winner is, Ace Striker!" The Ligar 0 Schneider's face blades disengaged as it got up and roared in victory. Ace opened the cockpit of his Zoid and looked back at Kristy. She too opened her cockpit with hearts in her eyes as soon as she saw Ace.
"Wow! You're a cutie!" Kristy smiled big. "WOW! C... can I have your number?!"
"Uh... well I ..." Ace stuttered.
"That Ligar 0 is something else," Sage said as he turned off his monitor. "I can truly look forward to my trial against him."
Back at the Taros base...
"Ace," Jessie said walking up to Ace who was in the hang out room.
"Yeah Jessie?" replied Ace as he took a sip of his OJ.
"Well, we have a problem. In today's trial the Zero armor was damaged and so was the leg," Jessie explained.
"So," Ace moaned.
"So, I suggest you don't start out with the Zero armor tomorrow. Instead use another armor," responded Jessie.
"Hmm, okay, I guess," Ace shrugged. "I know! I'll blow'em away tomorrow with the Panzer!" Ace happily called as he threw his fist up in the air.
"Great! Then that's all I needed! Good luck!" finished Jessie.
The side panel of the Hover Cargo opened up and out slid the Ligar 0 Panzer. The platform angled itself and dropped the Panzer on to the ground.
Soon a black Ligar appeared. It had a weasel unit attacked to each of its legs, a back mounted gattling rifle, double barrel laser cannon, face missile launchers and a small gattling gun mounted on the tip of its tail.
"Trail #3, Sage Li vs. Ace Striker! Ready... FIGHT!" yelled the judge.
"So that's your third armor. Well Ace so far you and the Ligar 0 have impressed me beyond anything I have ever seen. So don't disappoint me now!" Sage said.
"No problem there!" responded Ace. "How's this for starters? Hybrid Cannons...FIRE!" The Hybrid Cannons charged up and then fired two yellow beams of lasers.
"Wow!" Sage gasped. He pushed a button and a square like object on the Zoid's belly engaged and a large energy shield came up. The yellow beams hit the shield and were blocked.
"NO WAY!?" Ace cried in horror.
"Yes way! This is my special Zoid called the Assault Ligar (NO this is not a real Tomy Ligar, I came up with it ^_^)" Sage smiled. "My Zoid is made just for attacks like that."
"Okay, then prepare yourself for this!" Ace cried as numerous screens appeared in the Panzer's cockpit. The Ligar 0 locked on to its target and then fired. "BURNING BIG BANG!"
Numerous missiles flew toward the Assault Ligar. The black Zoid quickly shot off all of its weasel unites at the missiles. "I can take an attack like that too!" Sage smiled.
"Now what Ligar?" Ace asked his partner. The Ligar 0 then flashed "JAGENZER" on its control panel screen. "Great idea buddy! Let's use speed and power!"
"Sorry, no transformation for you!" Sage said just as bullets and lasers barraged the Panzer. As the Panzer was pummeled by the barrage and some to the armor began to crack.
"No! Panzer!" Ace cried. Soon numerous missiles hit the Ligar 0. Dark smoke then grew out of where the Ligr 0 Panzer stood.
"Well, looks like I won," Sage smiled.
"Ace!" Leo called.
"What a Zoid," stared Iris.
After about a minute the smoke was beginning to clear. "The Zoid should be down," Sage said. But when the smoke cleared, all Sage saw was green armor. "Huh? Where did he go?"
"See ya!" Ace laughed as an armor-less Ligar0 ran toward the Hover Cargo. "Jessie, I need JAGENZER!" Ace cried.
"NO!" Sage cried as he fired at the Ligar 0. But the Ligar was able to board the H.C.
And in a few minutes, the Ligar 0 Jagenzer was launched. "What's that?" Sage gasped in surprise.
"Engaging Ion Boosters!" Ace cried. The Jagenzer then shot off.
"No he's too fast!" Sage cried as he fired off his gattling rifle.
"Now its my turn!" Ace smiled as the Ligar came up from behind the Assault Ligar. "LIGHNING BANG!" Then numerous missiles blew up on impact of the Assault Ligar.
"Yeah!" cried Ace. But after the smoke cleared he noticed that the other Ligar w as still up. "No way!"
Bullets then barraged the Ligar 0. "You see, my Zoid is built for damage!" Sage smiled.
Ace pushed a button and the control panel screen flashed Jager. Then the missile pods ejected off and the ion boosters engaged. The Ligar 0 was shot off at a high speed. The Ligar quickly turned back around towards its enemy as its fore legs began to glow. "STRIKE LASER CLAW!" The Ligar jumped high into the air and slashed the Assault Ligar.
BLAIRRREEEEE!! "The trial is over, the trial is over! The winner is, Ace Striker!" the judge announced after the Ligar 0 landed.
About half an hour later outside the Hover Cargo...
"Well, Ace Striker now its time for you to make your decision," Sage said as Kristy and Jake stood behind him.
"Please say you'll join!" Kristy said with hearts in her eyes.
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt the team if you came on," Jake frowned.
"Well, you guys are great warriors, no doubt about that!" Ace began. "And you guys make great rivals! But I'm sorry, I like the team I'm already on."
Sage closed his eyes and crossed his arms which was followed by some silence. Sage then opened his eyes and smiled. "Well, thank you for a good battle, rival!"
"Yesssssss!" Jake hissed happily.
"Nooooooooo!" Kristy sobbed.
NEXT TIME:
Man those guys were tough, but they were only a warm up. It seems Jax's friend has come to fight me and Ligar 0. Man this guy's too fast! What is this thing he's talking about Ultimate X? He has one? What?! AH! We have to defeat the unbeatable dragon! I hope my new armor will help! Next time on Zoids X:
THE LIGHTNING SERPENT-THE UNBEATABLE GEO DRAGON
Ready... FIGHT!
"Grrrr, COME BACK HERE ACE!" Leo yelled as he chased after Ace who was holding a pink, folded piece of paper.
"Hehehehe! Sorry, no can do Leo the Love Bird!" Ace laughed as he ran from the enraged Leo. Ace led Leo into the Zoid hanger where Iris was working. "Heyyyyy Iris! Let's see what this says! What do ya say Leo?!" Ace called happily as he waved the pink paper. "Iris you resemble the iris flower that blooms ever so beautifully! You're body resembles that of a super model! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"ACE YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!!" Leo yelled as he tackled Ace and put him in a headlock.
"Heh, Iris you didn't hear anything," Leo said giving a dumb laugh.
"So immature," Iris thought to herself.
Soon a small monitor in the hanger lit up with Doc Taros' face on it. "Ace, are you there?"
"Y... yeah (choke) Doc!" Ace forced as he was choked.
"Come on up here, I need to talk to you," replied Doc.
"S... sure Doc be there ... in a ... sec," Ace forced again.
Minutes later Ace was able to escape Leo's rage and make his way to Taros. "What's up Doc?" Ace questioned upon entering.
"Ah Ace you're here!" Doc said happily.
"So what's up?" Ace asked cocking his head and putting his arms behind it.
"Well we just received a message from the ZBC," Jessie answered. The screen on the wall turned on and showed pictures of the message. "You and your Ligar 0 have been challenged."
"Why just me and Ligar?" Ace asked.
"Well, you've been asked to participate in battle mode 1-0-3-5," explained Jessie.
"1-0-3-5?" Ace asked puzzled.
"One of the new rules made by the ZBC," replied Doc. "You and Ligar 0 are to participate in trial battles by the team that has challenged you."
"How many trials? And what team?" questioned Ace.
"How ever many they want you to. And the team is called the Ligar team," answered the Doc.
Soon a picture appeared on the large monitor in front of the three. It showed a person of about 17. He had brown hair that spiked straight back, green eyes, and light skin. He wore a brown vest and red shirt under it and tan cargo pants. "Hello Ace Striker, my name is Sage Li. I'm the leader of the Ligar team. I'm sure the ZBC has given you a message that we challenge only you and your Ligar 0 in three trial battles starting tomorrow," the boy said.

"Great! The trials star tomorrow at 12 hundred hours," Sage said right before the screen went blank.
Later that night, Ace walked into the Zoid hanger and up to Ligar 0. "Well boy, are you ready?" Ace asked smiling up at Ligar 0. The Ligar gave a low growl in reply. "Yeah, let's go out there and show'em what we're made of!" Ace smiled then walked back to his room.

Just then the Ligar 0 shot off its Shot cannon at the ground. "Hey what the heck are you doing?" Jake wined as dust and smoke began to cover the Ligar 0. "I can't see ya!"
"That's the point!" Ace smiled. "Doc, prepare for Jager transformation!"
"I'm on it Ace!" Doc Taros responded.

The next day...
BOOM! The judge capsule rose out of its crater. The Ligar 0 stood in front of its new opponent. "Wow, that's a pretty flashy Zoid," Ace said stunned at the enemy Zoid's color. There in front of him stood a pink Ligar. Its legs had midsize intakes on them, a face blade on both sides of its face, and two large blades folded up on its back. The Zoid resembled a supped up Blade Ligar.
"Don't make fun of Ligra!" a girl screamed.
"Ah! S... sorry," Ace jumped back with a large sweat drop on his head.
"This is Ligra, a Slash Ligar (yes another real and new Zoid by Tomy). And I am Kristy Blade," the girl explained.
"Trial #2 of three! Kristy Blade vs. Ace Striker," the judge announced. "Battle field set up. Ready... FIGHT!"
"Here I come!" Kristy cried as her Slash Ligar lunged at the Ligar 0. The S. Ligar's face blades flipped over its face. "Come on Ace, show me what you've got!" The Slash Ligar quickly slashed the Ligar 0 in its left leg. The Ligar 0 fell to its side but recovered back to its feet. The armor on the Ligar 0's left shoulder was split in half and its leg was fizzing from the damage.
"You okay Ligar?" Ace asked his partner. The Ligar 0 roared then charged its enemy. The two Zoids then began to wrestle on each other clawing and biting.

Ace cried as the Ligar 0 jumped high into the air.
"Huh?!" Kristy gasped as the Ligar 0 jumped over her Zoid and slashed it in the back. The Ligar 0 landed on its feet but the Slash Ligar fell to its belly. "Nice job Ace," Kristy smiled as she closed her back blades and got up. And as soon as the Ligar 0 turned around, the Slash Ligar had already lunged at it. The Ligar 0 then did the same.

The Slash Ligar went flying and landed on its side a good yards away. "Wow! Great shot Ligar!" Ace happily smiled. The Ligar 0 quickly turned and ran toward the H.C.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Ace yelled at his Zoid as it boarded the Hover Cargo. Ace then noticed on his control panel the word: Schneider.
"Oh I see now buddy. Okay, Jessie!" Ace grinned.
"Ligar 0 secured on maintenance deck!" Jessie called over the intercom. Ace turned his controls then pulled back. The mechanical arms came out and removed the Zero armor and soon the Ligar 0 had transformed into the Ligar 0 Schneider.
"Go SCHNEIDER!" Ace yelled as the Ligar 0 was launched.
"So there you are Ace Striker!" Kristy said. "Hey, what's that?" The Schneider's face blades flipped over its face as it ran toward the Slash Ligar.
"Ligar 0 Schneider!" responded Ace.
"So now we're evenly matched," smiled Kristy. The two Zoids began to fight clashing their face blades. Each moved with great agility to block the other's attack.
"BUSTER SLASH!" both pilots yelled as their face blades began to glow. Both jumped straight into each other crossing face blades.
But right as the Slash Ligar was about to pass the Ligar 0, the Schneider extended its side blades and the Slash Ligar slammed into it. Two blades few straight up in the spinning wildly.

And the Slash Ligar bounced off its back then flipped to its stomach with its left face blade next to it as well.
"The trial is over, the trial is over!" cried the judge. "The winner is, Ace Striker!" The Ligar 0 Schneider's face blades disengaged as it got up and roared in victory. Ace opened the cockpit of his Zoid and looked back at Kristy. She too opened her cockpit with hearts in her eyes as soon as she saw Ace.
"Wow! You're a cutie!" Kristy smiled big. "WOW! C... can I have your number?!"
"Uh... well I ..." Ace stuttered.
"That Ligar 0 is something else," Sage said as he turned off his monitor. "I can truly look forward to my trial against him."
Back at the Taros base...
"Ace," Jessie said walking up to Ace who was in the hang out room.
"Yeah Jessie?" replied Ace as he took a sip of his OJ.
"Well, we have a problem. In today's trial the Zero armor was damaged and so was the leg," Jessie explained.
"So," Ace moaned.
"So, I suggest you don't start out with the Zero armor tomorrow. Instead use another armor," responded Jessie.
"Hmm, okay, I guess," Ace shrugged. "I know! I'll blow'em away tomorrow with the Panzer!" Ace happily called as he threw his fist up in the air.
"Great! Then that's all I needed! Good luck!" finished Jessie.
The side panel of the Hover Cargo opened up and out slid the Ligar 0 Panzer. The platform angled itself and dropped the Panzer on to the ground.
Soon a black Ligar appeared. It had a weasel unit attacked to each of its legs, a back mounted gattling rifle, double barrel laser cannon, face missile launchers and a small gattling gun mounted on the tip of its tail.
"Trail #3, Sage Li vs. Ace Striker! Ready... FIGHT!" yelled the judge.
"So that's your third armor. Well Ace so far you and the Ligar 0 have impressed me beyond anything I have ever seen. So don't disappoint me now!" Sage said.
"No problem there!" responded Ace. "How's this for starters? Hybrid Cannons...FIRE!" The Hybrid Cannons charged up and then fired two yellow beams of lasers.
"Wow!" Sage gasped. He pushed a button and a square like object on the Zoid's belly engaged and a large energy shield came up. The yellow beams hit the shield and were blocked.
"NO WAY!?" Ace cried in horror.
"Yes way! This is my special Zoid called the Assault Ligar (NO this is not a real Tomy Ligar, I came up with it ^_^)" Sage smiled. "My Zoid is made just for attacks like that."
"Okay, then prepare yourself for this!" Ace cried as numerous screens appeared in the Panzer's cockpit. The Ligar 0 locked on to its target and then fired. "BURNING BIG BANG!"
Numerous missiles flew toward the Assault Ligar. The black Zoid quickly shot off all of its weasel unites at the missiles. "I can take an attack like that too!" Sage smiled.
"Now what Ligar?" Ace asked his partner. The Ligar 0 then flashed "JAGENZER" on its control panel screen. "Great idea buddy! Let's use speed and power!"
"Sorry, no transformation for you!" Sage said just as bullets and lasers barraged the Panzer. As the Panzer was pummeled by the barrage and some to the armor began to crack.
"No! Panzer!" Ace cried. Soon numerous missiles hit the Ligar 0. Dark smoke then grew out of where the Ligr 0 Panzer stood.
"Well, looks like I won," Sage smiled.
"Ace!" Leo called.
"What a Zoid," stared Iris.
After about a minute the smoke was beginning to clear. "The Zoid should be down," Sage said. But when the smoke cleared, all Sage saw was green armor. "Huh? Where did he go?"
"See ya!" Ace laughed as an armor-less Ligar0 ran toward the Hover Cargo. "Jessie, I need JAGENZER!" Ace cried.
"NO!" Sage cried as he fired at the Ligar 0. But the Ligar was able to board the H.C.
And in a few minutes, the Ligar 0 Jagenzer was launched. "What's that?" Sage gasped in surprise.
"Engaging Ion Boosters!" Ace cried. The Jagenzer then shot off.
"No he's too fast!" Sage cried as he fired off his gattling rifle.
"Now its my turn!" Ace smiled as the Ligar came up from behind the Assault Ligar. "LIGHNING BANG!" Then numerous missiles blew up on impact of the Assault Ligar.
"Yeah!" cried Ace. But after the smoke cleared he noticed that the other Ligar w as still up. "No way!"
Bullets then barraged the Ligar 0. "You see, my Zoid is built for damage!" Sage smiled.
Ace pushed a button and the control panel screen flashed Jager. Then the missile pods ejected off and the ion boosters engaged. The Ligar 0 was shot off at a high speed. The Ligar quickly turned back around towards its enemy as its fore legs began to glow. "STRIKE LASER CLAW!" The Ligar jumped high into the air and slashed the Assault Ligar.
BLAIRRREEEEE!! "The trial is over, the trial is over! The winner is, Ace Striker!" the judge announced after the Ligar 0 landed.
About half an hour later outside the Hover Cargo...
"Well, Ace Striker now its time for you to make your decision," Sage said as Kristy and Jake stood behind him.
"Please say you'll join!" Kristy said with hearts in her eyes.
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt the team if you came on," Jake frowned.
"Well, you guys are great warriors, no doubt about that!" Ace began. "And you guys make great rivals! But I'm sorry, I like the team I'm already on."
Sage closed his eyes and crossed his arms which was followed by some silence. Sage then opened his eyes and smiled. "Well, thank you for a good battle, rival!"
"Yesssssss!" Jake hissed happily.
"Nooooooooo!" Kristy sobbed.
