Chapter 2: Enter the Xion team
"Ok Dirkz, I can understand you want revenge, but why are we doing this? Can't we just report them to the zoid commission?"
Over the horizon, a D-bison and a Zaberfang were walking toward a large building.
"Come on Jaina, I know you're smarter than that. I've already been stated guilty. The commission's just going to think I'm trying to get a clean record."
"Well, do you really want revenge that bad?"
"Yes. Not only did they cost us half of our savings, but they also got me a bad record with the commission. I'm after blood"
The building had a ton of boulder and rock formations built into the walls. It was not made to be found easily.
"But what if they see you. This is the Back Draft Group. If they find out who we are, we won't have a moment of peace. What do you hope to accomplish anyway?"
"I don't know. I'll just wreak havoc for them. Then when they're all going nuts I'll just kind of grab something to sell for the money we lost."
"But that's…"
"Quiet! There's something ahead. Check it out."
Jaina, in the D-bison switched on an extra sensor, "Yeah your right. I'm reading 5 Hellcats… But they aren't moving. I think they're sleepers."
"Good, we have time to think. Any ideas?"
"Yeah. When I fire missiles I want you to go for the middle one. Try to make it a passing blow."
"Got it." Dirkz just waited. –- Wait for it — She launched them --- Now! ---
And he was off. He went strait forward, --- Where is it? --- Dirkz thought as he ran. Then he saw it. Two zoids suddenly appeared on both sides, struck by missiles. The line between them was about 25 yards in front of him. Dirkz jumped and landed on the Hellcat. He could feel his zoid sink down as its claws dug in. The sound of electricity and screeching metal rang in his ears. And then he jumped off. When he landed he could hear the hellcat fall with a loud crash. It wasn't getting up.
"Dirkz, you have two more on your tail!" Jaina yelled through the radio.
"Shit!" Dirkz yelled as he hit the boosters. "What do I do?"
"First, slow down to normal speed, they can't catch up."
Dirkz cut the over boost. He wasn't feeling too safe, but he trusted her. "What now?!"
"I want you to fire your gun into the ground about 25 yards in front of you and stop."
"What? Are you crazy?"
"Just do it!"
"Ok, but I'm going to be really mad it I get killed!" he said as he aimed down, slammed the brakes and fired.
He saw two skid marks forming in front of him going into the dust cloud he made. And then he saw them. "Got you!" Dirkz slammed on the boosters and jumped strait forward biting into ones neck, and throwing it against the other one.
"Yeah! Good work Dirkz!" Jaina yelled.
"Hey it was your plan. You deserve some credit too."
"Yes you did a good job. But you forgot another thing," said another voice. "We have more gun turrets hidden hear than any other base in the world!"
"What? Who are you?" said Jaina.
"I am Dr. Leon. And you are not in any condition to ask questions."
"What makes you think you can talk to us like that?"
"Oh, I'd say the 200 machinegun turrets aimed strait at both of your cockpits."
"Dirkz, he's not lying, or even exaggerating. I can see all of them on radar."
"Errr… Damn," muttered Dirkz as he shutdown his Zoid.
