JESSE'S OTHER HALF-WILD EAGLE'S RETURN



4 roars came from the ruins battlefield. A Redler, Stealth Viper, and Cannon Tortoise closed in on their Liger opponent. The 2 ground Zoids quickly smashed through the ruin buildings in their pursuit. Quickly a red Blade Liger darted behind a damaged building to avoid the Redler's bombing. Soon the Liger lunged out from behind the building and ran toward its opponents and opening up its blades.

"ARRRAHAAAAAHHH!" cried Leo as he pushed forward on the controls. The ion pack mounted on the Blade Liger's back flipped up and shot the Zoid forward as its blades lit up. The Liger quickly flew past the Cannon Tortoise and did a sliding turn to a stop. The turtle Zoid's cannon fell off its back and it fell immobile. The red liger prepared to charge its second enemy when it was barraged by bombs. The liger was thrown back and forth as the explosions were made all around it. "No… I … I can't loose!" Leo struggled as he tried to move his Blade Liger. Leo pushed on the controls and his Zoid shot forward again. But before he knew it, he had rammed right into the Stealth Viper and knocked it over. The snake Zoid fell frozen and Leo gave a crooked smile. "Heh heh, oops," laughed Leo. But his parade was brought to an end when he was bombarded with shells from the air-born Redler.

The Blade Liger jumped to the side and retracted its blades. Quickly Leo flipped the blades forward and used them as guns. "Dang it, too fast," Leo angrily said as he punched the button more with his thumb. Just them the Redler flew right at him and hit the Blade Liger with a missile. The Liger flew backwards and flipped to its belly. Then it was shelled again. After the massive shelling, the Redler flew over the fallen Zoid. "Just one more time and he's out," smiled the Redler pilot.

"Come on Blade Liger, MOVE!" Leo yelled at his Zoid as he pushed and pulled on the controls. "Crap! Here he comes!" But just as the Redler was about to fire, a bright beam of light swiftly shot out of a small ruin building and flew straight through the Redler. "What … the…" Leo gasped in awe as the enemy Zoid crashed.

BLARRRRRRE! "The battle is over! The battle is over!" called the Judge with its hands extended. "The winner is… Leo Taros!"

After the Judge had left, Leo sat in his beat'n up Blade Liger silently. 'There it was again,' Leo thought to himself. 'That light has been "following" me in every battle I've had in the past 3 of the 4 months I left the Max team.'



The Liger 0 quickly did a sliding turn and fired off its shot cannon. The shells barraged a Gun Sniper that soon fell. Suddenly a Rev Raptor fell but in a few seconds later a Helcat reappeared from stealth mode. BLARRRRRREE! "The battle is over, the battle is over! The winner is… the Max team!" announced the Judge throwing up its right hand.

Back at the Taros base Ace and Iris jumped down from their Zoids cockpits and sighed. "Dang, these battles with 3 on 2 is getting tough," Ace frowned looking down.

"Yeah, it's too bad Leo isn't here," responded Iris whipping a small team from here eye. Ace slowly walked to his room while Iris went to the hang out room.

"Wow, they seem pretty exhausted," Jesse stated to Doc Taros.

"Yeah, ever since Leo left it's hard on both of them," replied Doc. "I guess we'll have to start sending you into battle, Jesse."

"WHAT?! Me? No, no, no I'm not that good of a pilot!" replied Jesse. "I'm better in the Hover Cargo then out there."

"But we need someone else who can fight," sighed Doc. "Have any suggestions?" Jesse pondered for a while but soon snapped her head up smiling.

"I know!" exclaimed Jesse. "I can send for the Wild Eagle!"

"Jamie?!" Doc questioned in pure surprise. But before Jesse could answer she was out of the hanger running as fast as she could.



'Leo,' thought a lonely hearted girl. 'Why… why? I finally notice your affection for me and you leave us. Leave … me. WHY!'



About 2 hours later Ace walked out of his room stretching from his long nap. But soon he was thrown off his feet from a strong and loud sonic boom that came from outside the Taros base. He quickly pulled his face from the metal wall, rearranged his jaw, and ran down toward the Zoid hanger. 'Dang what was that?!' he thought excitedly yet agitated as well. When Ace finally arrived at the hanger, he found a large white Zoid with green lightning bolt stripes on it.

"WOW! A … a RaySworder!" Ace gasped in amazement. "Wh… whose is th… this!"

"Mine," came a cocky voice from behind. Ace turned to find …

"AH! JESSE?! Wh… when did u get a hair cut?!" Ace jumped back in surprise.

"No, I'm not Jesse," the guy answered. "The name's…"

"Jim!" exclaimed Jesse from behind the guy. "Ace, this is Jim Hermanos, my twin brother!"

"Please, call me… The Wild Eagle!" Jim smiled back.

"J… Jim?" Ace questioned still in shock and surprise.

"NO, Wild Eagle!" insisted the Jim.

"Yep this is the 3rd generation Wild Eagle!" Doc smiled as he walked up. "He's the son of the Blitz team's tactics officer, Jamie. And it seems both of his children have gained his 2 qualities!"

"You mean personalities," Bit remarked as he entered the hanger.

"So, Wild Eagle," Ace began looking over at the white Zoid. "Is that your RaySworder?

"Yep, that's right!" Jim replied.

"Ah the RaySworder!" Iris smiled looking up at the white shining Zoid. "A mix between the Raynos and Storm Sworder! It has enhanced capabilities that out do both! Reaching up to speeds higher than the Storm Sworder, unmatched maneuverability, 4 air to air/ground missiles, powerful energy gattling gun, AND 2 high powered laser wing blades this Zoid…"

"…is a BEAUTY! I LOVE IT! ONE OF THE COOLEST ZOIDS I HAVE EVER SEEN! IT'S SOOOOO COOL!!!!" Doc yelled in pure excitement.

"Man, you MUST be good to have one of those!" Bit smiled. "Hard to believe Jamie got you that!"

"No dad didn't get that for me, I won it!" Jim replied. "I use to compete in air shows with my old Raynos then upgraded to a Storm Sworder when I went into Zoid battles and became a mercenary. Later I won that Zoid in a high-speed contest. I was the only one to take the highest speed on land and sky!"

"Wow, then you must truly be the Wild Eagle," Bit replied smiling.

"So COOL!" Doc chanted.

"Wow," was all Ace could say. Soon Doc collected himself.

"It's a good thing you're here Wild Eagle, cause we just might need you in our next battle," said Doc. "We're up against the Storm team in the mountainous region."

"SO you want to me to work for ya?" Jim questioned smiling.

"No," replied Jesse. "But wanted you as a team member. We're missing another one and need a replacement. Well bro.?" Jim looked at his sister then at the others. "Pleeeeeeeeeease!" begged Jesse.

"Ok fine," Jim replied throwing up his hands to surrender.

"YEA! A COOL ZOID ON OUR TEAM!" Doc laughed happily.





The next day the Hover Cargo pulled up to the rocky mountainous region. Soon the catapult opened up and the Helcat and Iris lifted up. "Iris, mobilizing Helcat!" said Iris right before she was shot out. Ace turned his controls outward and pulled back. The white Zero armor was soon removed by the mechanical arms. He then turned the joysticks back upright and pushed forward. The small monitor spun to Jager and beeped. The side doors opened up and the mechanical arms attached the blue Jager armor. Soon the Liger 0 Jager rose up into the sunlight.

"Gooooo JAGER!" Ace called. The Liger 0 landed and slid to a stop as a dark blue Whale King appeared from the sky. After it had opened its bottom hatch, 4 Storm Sworders were shot out.

The Judge capsule landed then and opened up. "This is an official Zoid battlefield. Any unauthorized personal must leave the area at once!" While the Judge made its announcements, the Hover Cargo launched Jim and his RaySworder.

"A RaySworder huh?" a woman's low voice said as she smiled. "Good choice. Hey… haven't I seen that Liger before? Oh… been a while Bit Cloud!"

"Ready… FIGHT!" called the Judge as it crossed its arms.

"On your guard men, the enemy has a RaySworder!" the woman explained.

"Roger!" came the reply of her comrades.

The Jager and Helcat moved out while the RaySworder moved ahead. "Ace, looks like the head Sworder is come'n after you! I'll take it out!" Jim called to Ace.

"Uh… ok…" Ace began.

"Roar!" interrupted Liger.

"Ok Liger your call. Jim, I'll take care of him!" Ace called back.

"Really?! Well, you are the pilot of the legendary Liger 0 so I trust ya!" Jim answered back pulling off toward the other enemies. Ace smiled then turned his attention to the Storm Sworder closing in.

"Let's do it Partner!" Ace said as he turned the controls in and engaged the ion boosters. The Jager shot forward at high speed toward the SS.

"Been a while Bit… huh?! You're not Bit Cloud!" a woman said coming onto Ace's screen.

"Hey Back Draft Lady!" Bit said as he came on the vidphone on both Ace's and the Lady's. "Nice to see ya! Here's a new recruit Liger 0 chose, so don't be too disappointed! His name's Ace!" The woman looked at Bit then Ace and soon smiled.

"Okay Ace, show me if you're as good as Bit says!" the Lady said to Ace. Ace just smiled back and pushed on the controls.



2 SS were ganging up on the Helcat as it tried to defend itself. "Dang! Too fast!" Iris cursed as she tried to hit her swift enemies.

"Weren't you Wing Nuts ever taught not to pick on a Lady?!" Jim called as he quickly flew past one of the SS at high speed. The SS's left wing fell off and it crashed to the ground.

"AHHH! He's too fast! I … I can't get him!" the other SS pilot cried. But he was soon shot down from the under side.

"Never take your eyes off a girl either," Iris smiled with her Helcat's cannon smoking. "Thanks Wild Eagle, but I'm sit'n low for the rest," Iris thanked. Jim nodded his head in reply then shot off toward the 2nd to last SS.



Jager fell backwards again from the power of the sonic boom. "Man, that Zoid is just too fast to fight from here!" Ace said rubbing his head.

"Any fight left in ya?" the Lady questioned.

"Yeah, I can take care of myself!" Ace smiled. "Come on LIGER!" The Jager engaged its ion boosters and ran toward the SS. The blue Ziod followed the flying one to the side of a mountain and ran along it. "Gotta go… NOW!" Ace called as he angled the controls in a diagonal. The Jager lunged at the SS with its claws glowing. But the Sworder quickly pulled away and the Liger was hit with the sonic boom. The Jager fell to the base and lay still.

"I'll be back and hope you clean up your act," the Lady smiled as she turned her Sworder toward the direction of the Helcat. "I'll take you out first," the Lady said as she swooped in on the Helcat. Then she launched 2 missiles on the unsuspecting cat Zoid.

"Ahhh!" screamed Iris as the missiles hit. Her Zoid fell with a command system freeze.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own altitude!" Jim said over the Lady's comm. as he fired off his gattling laser. The Storm Sworder flew straight up and the RaySworder followed. The SS shot off to mach 3 and broke the sound barrier. "Nice try!" smiled Jim as he engaged the twin engines. Just then the RaySworder exploded forward.



"Hey pal, come down and fight me Warrior to Warrior!" Ace cried to a heavily armed Storm Sworder.

"Ha! I doubt your Zoid can handle the speed and strength of my Storm Sworder! These weapons may weigh me down, but I can still achieve speeds of a Lightning Saix!" gloated the Storm Sworder pilot.

"We'll see," smiled Ace as he pushed on the controls.

"Roar!" cried Liger 0. The Jager quickly lunged forward then began to run with the Storm Sworder 10 ft above it and 10ft behind. The Storm Sworder fired off its gattling laser gun but the Liger was able to out run the shots.

"Okay Kid, I'll show ya!" said the SS pilot as he pushed on the controls and shot forward at 325 km/h. Ace just smiled then turned the controls inward. The Liger roared as its ion boosters engaged and it exploded forward at 337 km/h. "NO WAY!" cried the SS pilot. The Liger 0 made a sharp turn back toward its opponent and attacked head on.

The 2 Zoids ran toward each other at high speeds.

"GOOO LIGER!" cried Ace as the Jager jumped high into the air with its fore claws extended.

"Sorry Kid!" yelled the SS pilot as the wing blade flipped out. When the 2 Zoids collided, the Liger 0 was hit by the blade and flipped to its back then on to its belly. The Liger 0 got up with its belly fizzing from damage.

"Come on Liger, we can do this, together!" Ace cheered his Partner. The Liger 0 roared in response then shot forward again at its opponent.

"Come on KID!" smiled the SS pilot as the wing blade began to glow.

"Let's DO IT LIGER!" Ace cried as the Liger 0's fore paws lit up yellow. The Jager jumped high up into the air toward its opponent. But just as the wing blade came a foot close to the Liger, its eyes lit up and it thrust its forepaws straight down on the Storm Sworder. The Jager landed on its snout and twisted to its belly. The Liger 0 slowly rose to look at its air born opponent.

"Nice try Kid," the SS pilot smiled. But just then he noticed the wing blade break off and the wing follow. "NO WAY!? H…HOW?!" the pilot cried in amazement as his Zoid crashed. The Liger 0 then gave a loud roar in victory as Ace just smiled.



The 2 air born Zoids were in a massive dogfight up in the air. Both pilots dodged with extreme skill. Soon the battle came down to just pure speed and close range combat. The 2 kept clashing wing blades but no victory was achieved. "So you're the impressive 'Little Lady' my father constantly talked about? You're very good!" Jim laughed.

"As are you, Wild Eagle!" smiled the Lady. After half an hour of blade clashing, it all came down to this last strike. Both flew at mach 3 toward each other head on. They both could feel their Zoid shaking violently from the super speed. They grew closer and closer every second. When finally at the last second, Jim pushed forward with all his might on the controls. The Zoid did a straight nosedive downward "Hey, where'd he go?" the Lady questioned herself looking around. Soon a massive force from under her hit her Zoid.

"I call that the Nose Dive Strike! I go straight down, then come straight back up!" smiled Jim. The Lady ejected from her Zoid and watched as the RaySworder and its ace pilot flew away toward the Hover Cargo.

"Even better than your father," smiled the Lady.

BLARRRRRRE! "Battle over! Battle over!" announced the Judge. "The winner is… the Max team!"





Somewhere in a desert area lay 4 frozen Zoids. 1 a Red Horn, another a D Bison, and the others Gun Snipers. As the sun fell over the horizon, a snake like figure slowly walked back to a dark red Whale King. "All of them… just mere… WEAKLINGS," a low, harsh voice angrily said. "Is there no one who can rival me?! (Humph!) I hope you're becoming a lot stronger… Ace… Striker," the person smiled. And with that the Geno Dragon disappeared into the darkness of the Whale King's mouth.
