Zoids: Counterforce

Disclaimer: If I owned zoids, do you think I'd spend my time writing this story instead of making lots of cash?
Max's red and black Command Wolf Urban leaped over the orange body of the Shneider unit of Joseph, positioning his canine zoid on a jutting cliff side, a perfect anti-air location. Readying his zoid's gatling gun, which is identical to the one located on top of a Shadow Fox, he called down to RG and their new teammate Joseph of the ISF. "In range in, 5,4,3,2,1." The 3 zoids prepared themselves to face 5 silver Storm Sworders, flying-type zoids that pack a load of missiles and bombs, not to mention a pair of really nasty blades, which are concealed in the wings. The squadron of Storm Sworders appears above the trio of pilots, launching their payload at the most obvious target. The Command Wolf since it was placed on an elevated platform. Firing his gun behind him, Max piloted his Command Wolf away from the missiles and onto a ramp-like surface, from which he jumped into the air. "Head back to base, I'm the only guy here with a gun capable of shooting down these guys!" Max yelled at Lt. RG and Joseph, RG hesitating before he left to catch up with Joseph who had no second thoughts of leaving Max behind. Kicking off from a piece of rock, Max instantly changed his zoid's direction and zipped down the icy cliff wall, leaving the missiles to head straight for the first 2 Storm Sworders that turned around to make a second pass at the Preventers and ISF pilot, obliterating them in a giant fireball. Pieces of debri rained on Max's cockpit as his zoid weaved in and out of rocks and boulders as he dashed downwards, using all his skills to safely pilot his Command Wolf through the near vertical mountain side he was racing through. Gravity propelled him even faster as he went down the slope, simultaneously evading sporadic bursts of gunfire from the 3 remaining aerial zoids. Checking the path for the next few hundred feet, he swivelled his zoid to face his pursuers who were now tailing him downwards. Bullets damaged his zoid, further aggravating the damage that the Red Horn previously did, as he locked on to the rebel Storm Sworders. Firing his gigantic gun, he blasted 2 more of the pesky zoids out of the sky while his zoid's paws skidded on the hard mountain side, moving closer and closer to the canyon floor. Jumping off the side of the mountain slope, Max switches the stance of his Command Wolf again, praying that he would land on the icy floor with minimal damage. Apparently, his prayers weren't answered. His zoid's legs meet the ground with a resounding snap, as the joints in their systems crumble under the intense pressure of landing after going for more than 300 mph speeds. Unfortunately for the Storm Sworder that swooped over the Command Wolf, this however damaging landing provided enough balance for Max to still have above average aim and control over his zoid's guns. Turning to meet the Command Wolf head on with a few missiles, the Storm Sworder flies directly into the Command Wolf's aim. Both zoids firing their weapons at the exact same time, Max's Command Wolf fell to its already broken knees as the missiles exploded on his crippled leg while the heavily damaged Storm Sworder spun dangerously out of control overhead until it ended its life by slamming into the slope directly behind the Command Wolf. The explosion of the rebel zoid rocks Max's cockpit, slamming his forehead into the orange glass of his zoid's cockpit, knocking him out instantly as blood trickles down his unconscious shoulder.
"Get out of my way!" Joseph screams angrily as he rushes to meet the Zaber Fangs in his way with 2 giant energy blades. RG fires his zoid's cannons at the approaching hordes, obliterating them instantly. Darting to and fro with his Shneider unit, Joseph pilots his living weapon through the mass of enemies, cutting down the rebels like a humongous shredder with the Shneider's blades. Goring 2 Zaber Fangs with his horns and attacking the rest of the enemies with his shooters, RG paved his own road to the exit with enemy bodies, which were trampled by the powerful hooves of his Dibison. Disposing of 2 more rebels with his mini-cannon, Joseph caught up with RG of the Preventers, only to realize what was waiting for them at the exit of the Isolina Mountains. "Hello there, RG. I see you brought a friend with you." Raven snidely remarks in the cockpit of the most powerful thing Zi has ever known since the Death Stinger and Death Saurer.The Genobreaker moves forward, threatening the 2 pilots silently. "Ah, but where's Lt. Max? I so wanted to kill him." RG grips his controls tightly, gritting his teeth in preparation for the upcoming battle. The Genobreaker gives an immense roar before it charges into the 2 zoids. "Let's finish this!" Raven shouts while his enemies brace themselves.
Back at the Preventer Base, "Sir! Genobreaker sighted! It's engaging the special force pilot Joseph and Lt. RG, sir!" A technician crys in alarm, summoning the now promoted Seargent Major Mikee and Corporal Victor to the control tower. "Where is Lt. Max?" Corporal Victor asks officially, asserting his position as Corporal while Mikee takes a seat at one of the many surveillance and reconnaisance computers and begins getting visual on the battle. "Sir, we seem to have lost his position, sir." The technincian says, his fingers dancing on his keyboard as he downloads the current statistics of the 2 pilots. "Where could he be?" The hassled corporal thinks, thousands of possibilities racing through his mind. "Get me visual contact, now!" Mikee nods his head and accesses a Preventer sattelite, which uses a high-resolution telescope to get a picture of what is happening. On the screen of the control tower, the techincians, Mikee and Victor are treated to a close up overhead view of the carnage Raven is inflicting on the soldiers. Swiping the Dibison off its feet with its powerful tail, the Genobreaker fires blast after blast at the defenseless Dibison, its leg-mounted laser cannons pulverizing the thick armor of Rg's zoid. "Get visual contact with Lt. RG, check his vital signs!" Corporal Victor yells, spit flying out of his mouth. The technician replies in a distressed way. "He's unconscious, we can't contact him!" Victor hits his head in frustration. "Seargent Major Mikee, get over there in your Redler, quickly!" Saluting Corporal Victor, Mikee rushes to the hangar for his black Redler. On the screen, Joseph valiantly fights off the Genobreaker from destroying his friend. "I pray for your success, Joseph." Corporal Victor says to himself, saluting the brave soldier.
"Aaaargh!" Raven says, as he barely dodges a swipe from the Shneider unit of Joseph, his Genobreaker roaring as the blade slices off a bit of his pincers. Inside the Shneider unit, Joseph courageously fends off the attacks of the Genobreaker as he defends his newly found friend. Moving from side to side to evadethe shots fired from Raven's laser cannons, his zoid's blades extended, he charges at the Genobreaker like an enraged lion. Seconds before he could've sliced Zi's most destructive force in half, Joseph misses the swift t-rex type zoid by a hairline. Raven smirks as he nearly swipes the Liger with his zoid's tail, also missing closely as the Liger jumps away, futiley firing its weak mini-cannons at the spot where the red titan was just standing a few seconds ago. "You fight almost exactly like Flyheight, even your zoid is reminiscent of the Blade Liger, Joseph." Joseph replies with a head on attack, blades ready to slice into the metal of the Genobreaker. "He may be my idol, but I'll prove to you that I'm better than him!" Joseph yells, following up his words with action as he moved his zoid away from his apparent path towards the Genobreaker and let loose with a fury of shots from his mini-cannons at the surprised Raven. His zoid's stats falling, Raven decided to finish the battle. Ramming the Shneider unit with an amazing burst of speed, he charged his final weapon, the charged particle beam and aimed it for Joseph's cockpit. His fingers' loosened their grip as Joseph prepared for the end. "Guess this is it." Joseph says, slumping in his chair as he closed his eyes in silent surrender. "Not today, Joseph!" A black Redler bombs the Genobreaker, interrupting the CPB (charged particle beam) as the high power bombshells rock the Genobreaker. As he struggles to right his zoid, Raven decides on taking a course of action he did before, retreat. "Why do you guys always have backup just when I almost win?" Raven says, piloting his injured zoid away from the other zoids, his Genobreaker's boosters reaching unbelievable speeds. "This is Seargent Major Mikee, are both of you all right?" Mikee asks the waking Preventer Lt and the hurt ISF pilot.
Hundreds of miles away, at the Preventer base, "You're not going to win this match, Marvin." JC said, boasting to the Preventers' resident super mechanic and above average pilot. "I've got some new technology that's going to leave you in the dust." He continued, Marvin not even looking up from his work on his Shadow Fox. "JC, its not always the technology that decides the battle, it's a combination of the pilot's skills and the technology integrated into the zoid." Marvin said calmly in the face of the cocky pilot. JC grins. "Well then, Mr. Know-It-All, I've got both. So don't even try to fight me, 'cause you're just going to get wiped out." JC says tauntingly. Marvin slides back under his black fox-type zoid. "We'll see in." Marvin glances at his digital watch on his greasy right wrist. "4 minutes. You better hurry, your garage is a long way off from here." Marv says, chuckling quietly as JC races across one of the many group garages where they were currently in as he desperately tried to make it to his zoid before 4 minutes elapsed. Marvin slid back out from under his canine zoid, laughing at his trick. "4! More like 14 minutes! Hahahaha!"
Panting as he reached his garage that he shared with Dean, Max and RG all the way across the base, JC hit his head due to his foolishness as he checked the clock. "Aaaargh! Curse you Marv!" He said shaking his fist at the ceiling and getting quite a few stares from the other pilots and technicians who were tuning their own zoids for their own battles. "Hey JC!" Dean yelled, waving his right hand as his left hand held a sandwich. Running tiredly, JC plopped down on one of the stools Dean placed beside an expandable table located near his Venomous Viper. "Fighting against Marvin today, huh?" JC grabbed a sandwich from the table and started pushing it down his throat, nodding quickly. After gulping down the last bit of sandwich, JC gives a more concrete answer. "7 more minutes before the match. Thanks for the snack!" Standing up to stop JC, who was running towards his zoid, he decided to sit down instead of telling JC. "He'll eventually find out about Max's disappearance and the appearance of the Genobreaker" Dean said as he climbed into his zoid for his own match in the arena.
JC sat down in his Gunsniper, taking in all the lights and sounds as his heavily armed zoid hummed to life. Clutching his controls, he pushed the levers to their maximum capacity and his zoid ran across the oil pipes, toolboxes and used upgrades like it was the last day of the world. Stepping through the darkness of the arena entrance, JC's Gunsniper's foot kicked up dust as it walked to the designated area for all entrants. 1 on the right side, where he was waiting for the start light, and the one on the left side, where Marvin's black Shadow Fox anticipated the same signal. The red lights tick off as they draw closer and closer to the green light, which both zoid pilots waited for. "Go!" The commentator shouts, both pilots not even hearing his remark before they launch their zoids at each other, colliding with each other's war machines. Jumping backward to avoid the sharp teeth of the Gunsniper, Marvin fires the Gatling gun at the velociraptor but the upgraded speed of the Gunsniper enables it to dodge the attack. Following up with a pounce, Marvin's heavily upgraded zoid lunges at the Gunsniper, slicing off the missile launchers due to a late evasion maneuver. JC, moving considerably slower without the missile launcher based boosters, desperately tried to evade the passes the Shadow fox made to rip his zoid to shreds. Suddenly, an idea came to JC just as his zoid's sniper tail took heavy damage. The Shadow Fox jumped at the Gunsniper, hoping to slash the top portion of the zoid off. Just before Marvin's attack connected with the relatively thin armor of the Gunsniper of JC, the reptilian zoid jumped in the air slamming into the airborne canine. As the surprised Marvin skidded across the sandy floor, the injured Gunsniper rolled back onto its feet and pelted the Shadow Fox with bullets. Purposely takin out the legs of the Shadow Fox, Marvin's zoid was unable to get up and fell easy prey to the machine guns on the claws of the Gunsniper. "I surrender." Marvin says, holding his hands above his head.
A few minutes later. "That was a good match, JC. You've got some brains after all." Marvin said, ruffling the shorter pilots hair. "You're not so stupid." He continued, chuckling as he walked away. "Why does everyone think I'm stupid, even." His thoughts are interrupted as the speaker blares overhead. "Attention all flying- type zoid pilots! You are ordered to go on a search and rescue mission for Lt. Max! Go to the control tower for briefing. I repeat! All." The words are drowned out as JC goes through the sentence again, the idea pounding in his mind. ".search and rescue mission for Lt. Max. " Pilots run through the hall where he's standing, racing to go to the control tower. JC just stands there, the effects of that phrase sinking in. "Max is missing." He feels like rejoicing that one of his rivals is gone, but feels an emptiness growing inside of him. "Max wouldn't have given up hope. He's still out there. For better or for worse."
