Zoids: Counterforce

Pyroteknix

I'm still using the chapter 1 disclaimer along with the chapter 2 addition.

Wonder why I always use first names instead of last names?

I dedicate this chapter to my relatives, Bea, Benjie, Dom, Trina and Erika.
"Seargent Mikee, what is the current situation in the Isolina Mission?" The nervous officer replies agitatedly. "We've lost contact with Lts. RG and Max. They seem to be being jammed by someone." Corporal Victor slams his desk. "Get reinforcements over there then!" He shouts angrily. "Sir, all of our zoids are being repaired because of the tournament. We don't have any available zoid capable of climbing the mountains." Corporal Victor messes his hair up, tangling it until it became a mini-jungle. "Get a special force trooper here, now!" Mikee nervously questions his commanding officer. "Why not the Guardian Force, sir? Their base is closer to the mountain range." Victor replies with a shout. "The Guardian Force!?! You want to ask the Guardian Force? That sleazeball Van Flyheight isnt going to help us, he'll just laugh at our futility!!!" Mikee quickly nods. "Yessir, I'll get the special forces here right away, sir!" He says, hurriedly exiting Victor's spacious office.

"RG! Behind you!" In the Oldan Mountains located in the Mountain range of Isolina, Lt. Max of the Preventers warns his fellow Lt, RG. RG's Dibison turns around and fires its multiple giant cannons at an approaching Zaber Fang, its armor colored white as to hide it in the perpetually snowing climate of the Isolina Mt range. Its giant artillery type ammunition explodes onto the feline zoid, dropping the mechanical cat to its knees. "You watch your back, Max!" Max expertly pilots his Command Wolf, jumping in between the rebel army's zoids. 2 years ago, the Preventers discovered a rebel army intent on taking over the entirety of planet Zi. They successfully beat back the rebels and believed they had wiped out all but the smallest piece of scrap zoid armor. Unfortunately, the Preventers information gathering section discovered that a man was supplying the rebels with weaponry and zoids, helping the rebels slowly regain power. Max's Command Wolf leaped on top of a Zaber Fang and propelled his canine zoid to a jagged cliff, an ideal spot for strafing down rebel Zaber Fangs with a Shadow Fox type gatling gun. And that's just what he did, taking down 4 of the rebel war machines with heavy ammunition. Below him RG gored another Zaber Fang with his zoid's gigantic horns, firing the other zoids with his cannons. "Hey Max! We can't hold this battle much longer! Let's retreat back to the cave!" RG said, suggesting that they go back to a small cave they found for shelter after the rebels first attacked them. "Affirmative, close your eyes, I'm going to fire a flasher!" RG shuts his eyes quickly. A bright flash blinds all their opponents, leaving Max and RG ample time to run away to safety.

"Sir, I've found a trooper willing to go." Seargent Mikee returns with good news for Corporal Victor. "Well, who is it?" Victor says looking up from his paperwork. "A soldier named Joseph, sir." Mikee says, looking at his data for reference. "Joseph, wasn't he the man who single-handedly defeated 17 Hel Digunners of the rebels?" Mikee checks his papers again, shuffling his research with his thumb until he found what he wanted. "Yessir, he pilots a Liger Zero Shneider unit according to my research. He even wants to join the Preventers after this assignment.""Corporal Victor smiles. " Tell him their last known location and send him there." He said, signalling Mikee away with his hand. "Oh, and Mikee, good job on the research. You outdid yourself there." Mikee replies happily "Thank you, sir"

Jico, JC's previous opponent in the tournament who JC beat, was tuning his Helcat's leg, apparently working on its agility and turning speed. "Hey Jico!" JC calls him, running across the garage. Jico looks up while wiping the grease off his yellow and black jumpsuit, signifying that he was a mechanic like Marvin most of the time, also showing that his above average zoid piloting skills weren't develped normally in battle, unlike Max and himself who actually spent time on the battlefield. Questioning JC with his eyes, he watches him in silent acknowledgement of his yell. "Hey Jico, I was wondering if you would like to be my zoid's personal mechanic during and after this tournament." JC says, his energetic mouth moving up and down as he talked animatedly. Jico just stood there, scratching of grease from his suit. "C'mon Jico! I checked your mechanic records, you're almost as good as Marvin!" Taking it as a compliment of great magnitude, Jico's chest swelled with pride and his lips formed an infectious smile. "He looks like a rabbit when he smiles." JC thinks, silently laughing at his personal joke. "I give up, you'll never answer." JC throws up his arms in defeat and walks away. "Sure, I'll be your zoid's mechanic." Jico says just before JC walks out of earshot. "Really? Thanks man!" JC says suddenly appearing in front of him in a flash, shaking his hand vigorously. "JC, please report to the arena with your Gunsniper!" A speaker says overhead, every syllable it produced vibrating off the walls due to its immensely loud volume. JC dashes across the garage, leaving Jico to go back to his Helcat's leg.

Lt. RG quietly ate Max's cooked potatoes as Max noisily munched on his own creation while they huddled around the fire in their small cave. RG stops chewing to reprimand Max for eating so noisily, thinks about it and decides it'll be impossible to say anything that will affect Max's sloppy manners. Max looks up from his potatoes and asks RG a typical casual Max question. "Wanna play checkers?" Max asks honestly. "What else is there to do?" RG says his hands up in the air in a gesture of surrender. Max climbs up his inactive Command Wolf faster than a monkey with an army of hyenas chasing it and returns with a checkerboard. A few minutes later, "I win again!" Max exclaims, pumping the air. Living up to his name as checker king of the Preventer Base, Max won all 25 games they played in a total time less than 7 minutes. "I give up, lets patrol for Zaber Fangs. I need some exercise." Max nods, tucks his board under his armpit and jumps up his zoid as RG climbs up his Dibison. "Let's go, Max!" The two zoids swiftly exit their partially concealed hiding place. Unknown to them, a lone zoid watches their movements from a distance.

JC's Gunsniper hopped off a wall as he avoided the blasts coming at him from the technically inferior Revraptor's guns. "And King seems to be the dominating fighter here!" The commentator says, complimenting JC's challenger's skills. The Revraptor moves quickly, closing the gap in between his zoid and JC's. The blades pop out of the side of the Revraptor's boosters, their deadly crescent shape moving like lightning towards the Gunsniper as he bounded across the arena. Dean sat on the higher seats of the circular arena's multiple benches for spectators. He watched intently, quietly taking down notes on JC's battle tactics and movements, trying to pinpoint a weakness in his game plan so that if they faced off in the finals, he'd be ready. "Looks like JC's in trouble." He contemplated high above the heated battle below. "What a move!" The commentator yelled as JC's Gunsniper imitated the wall-hopping strategy of King in reverse switching his position from prey to predator. Sweat drops from his forehead as he fires his machine guns, which the agile Revraptor dodges as gracefully as the wind. Dean stares at the battle below him in amazement. "According to my calculations, that type of wall-hopping shouldn't be possible for such a heavy velociraptor type zoid!" He said, simultaneously writing down that particular move which JC pulled off. "It'll take immense skills for that to have been successful." Down below, the Revraptor moved from side to side as it dodged all the missiles the Gunsniper, currently inching away, was shooting at it. "Kidding!" JC's Gunsniper crouches as King's Revraptor jumps over it, leaving JC with a very shortlived feeling of triumph. The Revrapror showed off with one of it's own skills, spinning in the air vertically, releasing it's blades at the particular moment, cutting off the missile launcher of the Gunsniper like a deadly top. Landing on its feet, the Revraptor turned around and fired its relatively weak guns at the damaged Gunsniper. Wiithout losing his pace one bit, Jc, proficiently dodged the shots and hopped in the air to avoid a running slash by the Revraptor. Countering with a skill rivalling those of any other pilot on the planet Zi, JC activated his Gunsniper's sniper mode in the air, firing the armor-penetrating bullet straight through the Revraptor's leg as it skidded to a halt after its running slash while falling through the air. Reactivating his zoid's normal mode in a split second, he skillfully landed on both of his Gunsniper's feet as King's Revraptor fell on its damaged leg, ending the battle with a lot of awe-struck spectators. Dean, also staring like the many others who witnessed that air sniping, dropped his pen instantly. "No way! Hitting a moving target while moving through the air! Sniping, no less!" Picking up his pen from the floor, Dean quickly jotted down what he saw while heading for the exit. "Nah, must've been fluke."

"Yahoo! Fire away, Max!" RG yelled as he rode his Dibison straight through the rebel Zaber Fangs. The Command Wolf of Max playing cat and dog with his gatling gun as he shot down quite a number. RG's Dibison blasted a path with its humongous cannons, Zaber Fangs exploding as the cannon's shells hit them. Blasting a few more zoids out of his way with his gun, Max piloted his Command Wolf over his opponent's spinning in the air to come skidding behind the Zaber Fangs, shooting their legs off. The giant bull-type zoid that belongs to RG herded a dozen of the rebel's zoids into the cliffside. "Watch this, Max! I'll show you how to use the environment!" RG targetted all his Dibison's cannons, this move coined the "Megolamax" by Lt. Thomas Shuboltz of the Guardian Force who also happens to own a Dibison, on the exact spot separating his zoid from the Zaber Fangs. The powerful shells explode on contact with the snowed over floor, cracking the ice and sending all the rebel's zoids into the dark abyss that lay below them as the ice platform on which they were on fell. Max decided to equal RG's technique with a leaping shot, in which he shot all the zoids in a straight line in front of him. Both of the Preventers are sent to the icy floor as shells fired from a Red Horn hit them. The two ace pilots struggle to get their zoids' balance back but the incessant firing of the triceratops type zoid and its Zaber Fang comrades. "I can't hold it!!!" Max says, his fingers desperately trying to regain control over hisCommand Wolf. Inside RG's cockpit, the same situation is happening as RG manipulates his Dibison's controls frantically. The camouflaged Red Horn closes in on the 2 Preventers, firing at them as they squirmed powerlessly on the icy mountain floor."Let's finish em!" The group of rebels, 30 or more zoids in the group, aim their cannons and guns at the cockpit section of the zoids. Like an eagle swooping from the skies to attack its prey, an orange shape darts across the ice two gigantic blades exposing themselves as one blade cuts all the way through the cannon of the Red Horn like a hot knife through butter. "This is Joseph of the Imperial special forces. I'm here to provide assistance in your mission." The special force soldier proves his title by cutting through the remaining Zaber Fangs with his blue blades, reminiscent of the blades of Van Flyheight's Blade Liger. Scared by the quick and efficient destruction of their allies, the rest of the Zabers quickly retreat, Joseph taking down a few more of them with his Liger Zero Shneider unit's mini-cannons. "You two alright?" He asks, his face appearing on both of the Preventers'HUDs. Both RG's and Max's faces reply with a genuine expression of sheer awe. RG cuts off his transmission with Joseph and privately talks to Max. "He's almost as good as we are."Max replies casually. "But he's not as good as us is he?" RG hits his head with a resounding splosh. "I give up. You really are the most egotistical person alive!" He says, surrendering to Max's child-like attitude and ways. "Why thank you, RG." RG hits his head again, as spending more than a week in confinement with the king of jokers, Lt. Max of the Preventers, can drive a man off his rocker. Joseph's face reappears on their screen. "Is there a problem here?" Max bursts out in hysterical laughter. "Is he alright?" Joseph asks RG, twirling his fingers beside his ear, questioning Max's sanity. Cutting off the transmission from Max's eyes and ears, RG sadly shakes his head and replies with a no.
