Zoids: Counterforce

Pyroteknix

Earlier, "What the bloody hell wazzat?" JC exclaimed, apparently because of a red blur streaking across the desert as he piloted his Gunsniper away from the Preventer Base after deciding that he could find the Genobreaker by himself. "Genobreaker!!!" He hits his head as self-punishment for not thinking faster. "Damn! I've got to help Max and the Preventers! Let's go Gunsniper!" He shouts, urging on his zoid, the Gunsniper replying with a roar and a burst of speed in return to JC's sudden burst of emotion. His zoid races across the burning sand; it's legs equalling the speed of Guio's Lightning Saix when they race head to head. " Whoa! Wish I could do this during those races I have with Guio after patrols!"

"Jake! Martin! Carlos! What's your situation?" RG asks his troops, his voice quivering with concern for his fellow men. "C'mon guys! Respond!" RG slams his fist into his zoid's control panel in frustration. "Shit! Time for payback!" Max's face appears on RG's HUD. "Hitting your zoid isn't going to work, RG. And neither will vengeance, especially unnecessary vengeance." "Watcha talking about Max?" Max smiles. "We came prepared. Your men are in Emergency Gustavs. I ordered them to be ready in case Raven wanted to finish the job of destroying the village, and it's inhabitants." RG mouths an "Oh" then his face is back into its usual serious scowl. " Okay, Max you take the left side of the delta formation, Guio, the right side. I'll take the lower-most position. Let's go guys!" Guio's face appears on the right of Max's face on RG's HUD."Max, ready to go!" "Affirmative, Lt. RG" Guio replies in his trademark monotonous tone. All 3 zoids, a feline, a canine and a giant bull, piloted by Guio, Max and RG respectively, charge into the path of the Genobreaker which is currently using it's powerful tail to sweep 2 zoids off their feet, simultaneously using it's extendable claws to grab and rip apart any zoid standing in between him and the complete and total destruction of the Preventer base. Any zoid except a certain Dibison, Lightning Saix and Command Wolf. "Okay team, move in!" Ammunition rained down like hail on the Genobreaker, it's near indestructible armor glancing of the bullets and artillery like pebbles. Firing out its extendable claws through the smoke, Raven's red tyrannosaurus type zoid weaved his claws in and out, their sharp edges barely missing Max's Comand Wolf as Max showed off a bit, his zoid an indistinct blur as he dodged Raven's moves expertly. "Grrr!!! Eat this you amateur!" Raven shouted, his zoid swiping Max in midair, knocking him straight into a transport Gustav, its thick armor making Max's Command Wolf collapse in a heap, temporarily out of commision. "Max!" But this puny distraction was all Raven needed to get the party started. "Die!!!" The Genobreaker fires its ultimate weapon, the Charged Particle Beam. The beam slices through the air and through the legs of RG's Dibison, disabling his bull-type zoid. "Can't control it!!!!" Rg says, his voice shaking as his zoid tumbles sideways into the dusty ground. " This time, I'm on target." Raven grins, his charged particle beam cannon directed squarely on the Dibison's head, the location of the pilot's seat where RG was located. "Don't count me out Raven!" Guio's Lightning Saix rammed the Genobreaker, his attack apparently the only one that had any effect on the Genobreaker's thick armor. " Damn you to hell!" Raven curses, shifting his zoid's weight and dodging Guio's follow up tackle, leaving his Lightning Saix's legs open to an attack. Ripping off the feline zoid's back legs with his strong pincers like a man tearing a paper in half, Raven powered up his zoid's beam cannon. " Time to meet your maker you pesky brats!" "Raven! Do not kill the Preventers!" Raven curses. " Damn! What difference does it make anyway?" The voice replies harshly "No pay Raven." "Damn you fool! 'Kay I'm leaving." " Not yet Raven. I've got a score to settle with you." The Genobreaker turns to face it's adversary, the lone functional combat zoid aside from Raven's. JC's Gunsniper charges at the Genobreaker, its guns ablaze as it peppered the crimson giant with special armor piercing ammunition that JC "borrowed" from the Preventers. "Even with those special bullets, nothing can penetrate my armor!" Raven shouts as his zoids stats fall quickly. "Out of ammo." JC says, his fingers pressing switches, which change the type of bullets his claw-based guns use, and activating his missile launchers. "Fire!!!" Raven fires a continous beam of energy emanating from his zoid's mouth at the small but powerful Gunsniper, searing the air as JC pilots his zoid away from the awesome destructive force known as the charged particle beam. " My turn! Missile launch!" Vast quantities of missiles shoot up from behind the Gunsniper, slamming into the Genobreaker with enough force to actually send the beast to its knees. Raven struggles desperately to keep his zoid balanced as warning signs flash in his face. "How can he do this much!?!" Raven pushes his zoid's acceleration lever to its limit, sending his Genobreaker right at the small blue velociraptor type zoid. "Payback time Raven!" Using skills way past the conventional limit of most pilots, JC throws his zoid's weight to one side, activating his zoid's thrusters and jumping at the same time, all while keeping his machine guns trained at Raven's zoid. Somersaulting over the Genobreaker, bullets' damaging the crimson giant's near impenetrable as he hovers upside down over the monster, JC's mouth turns into a grin as he inches closer and closer to beating his self-proclaimed nemesis, he taunts Raven who is already getting more and more infuriated. "Why don't you just give up Raven? You're going to lose anyway." He says, his voice flavored with mock seriousness. "Not today, flyboy!" Raven exclaims, his fingers deftly manipulating the Genobreaker's controls. The red tail of the Genobreaker lashes out, slamming the cobalt Gunsniper, throwing it off its feet. " Now you die amateur!" Raven yells at the stunned JC. His zoid's mouth opens to fire the charged particle beam but his attack is rudely interrupted. "Sorry I'm late! Marv fixed the bug in my gyros!" A Venomous Viper appears out of the ground underneath the Genobreaker, firing its guns at the underside of the Genobreaker. "Dean! Alright man!" Max yells punching the air in his Command Wolf, hitting his fist on the ceiling of his cockpit. "Aaaah! I can't take this anymore!" Raven pilots his zoid away from the Preventers. "Damn you all to hell! I'll return to finish the job!!!" He screams while he retreats from the battlefield.

A short while later, "Hey Max, I've decided." Max turns to face JC as they walk through the Preventer hall. "Mmmm?" Max asks without words. "I've decided to become a Preventer. You need my skills anyway." Max grins. " Yeah! Although the part where you say we need your skills, I think not." JC's shoulders slump. "Cut the jokes Max! Do I get the job or what?" "Yes, yes, you get the job. And I got the perfect callsign for you!" JC's eyes roll. "You have callsigns?" Max nods his head seriously. "Yep, mine's Osiris. Don't know where that came from though." " Okay! So what's mine then?" JC asks rather impatiently. "Sniper, from your zoid." Max smiles exuberantly. "That's a load of crap."
