ZOIDS
Tale of Two Worlds
Chapter 3: The Boom
The two teams' cargo ships positioned themselves ready for the battle, waiting anxiously for the Judge Capsule to arrive. Suddenly, with a flash from the sky, the silver streak shot down and hit the ground. Rotating into position, the judge addressed both teams. "Battle approved! Battle approved. The Blitz team verses the Supersonixs team. The area within a 50 mile radius is a-"
"50 miles!?"
"-designated Zoid battle field. Only combatants and personnel are allowed. Danger! All other persons must leave the field. Battle mode 0982. Ready, FIGHT!"
"Everyone! Change of plan! The battlefield size was not accounted for! We must reform!" Jamie yelled from his Raynos. "Same strategy but you must report to the center of the field for maximum firepower!"
"You heard him! Let's get out of here." Brad said before he got hit by some heavy shelling. "They're already onto us!"
"Well, they're not going to get me! Weasel Unit! To- Achoo!" Leena sneezed as her weapons suddenly blazed, narrowly missing Jamie's Raynos and hitting the wing of the enemy craft. Promptly its command system froze as it spiraled to the ground.
"Nice shot!" Bit complimented.
"But I didn't- ACHOOO!"
"Gazoontite."
"Hey Jack! You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine," the opposing downed Zoids pilot said, "but I really messed up."
"Okay. Everybody, form up. We're taking out the enemy gunsniper out first." Avianas announced.
"Roger!"
"Copy that."
"ACHOOOO!" Leena sneezed again.
"Looks like she's gotten a cold."
"Leena!" Tauros suddenly shouted, "Look out! The enemies Zoids are on your tail!"
"Oh yeah! Total Weasel Unit Assault!" Leena shouted as all 50 weapon canisters sprung to life emitting a myriad of shelling, rockets and missiles."
"Ready, GO!" Suddenly the three members accelerated to the sound barrier, the resulting sonic boom obliterated all of the weapons and hit the GunSniper.
"Dang! Leena! You alright?"
"No!" sniffle "I am- Achoo!" sniffle, sniffle "Out of the battle already?!"
"It's for a good cause. You seem to have come down with a bad case of the flu."
Leena was about to yell back, but her sickness had taken its toll.
"Everyone split up! Go after the lone Shadowfox now!"
"Uh oh."
"I won't let you! FIRE!" Bit exclaimed trying to hit the Avianass craft.
"You're wasting your time!" He announced as he accelerated to the sound barrier again, dodging Bit's assault.
"Aargh!" Bit mumbled as the resulting sonic blast shook up his craft.
"Bit! Use your supersonic capabilities on him!"
"Right! Strike Laser Wing, mobilize! Ready to make the jump, accelerate booster on!" Bit declared as the Liger shuttled forward, also breaking the sound barrier and shaking up Avianass craft.
"What?!" Jamie exclaimed, "His craft should have been disabled from that last assault due to the added forces of Bit and Avianas airships!"
"I call that the windshield!"
"Jamie! Watch out, Maximus is behind you!"
"Just a little further..." Bit groaned as the Liger rocketed towards Maximus' craft.
"HA!" John suddenly roared firing to plasma guns which got caught inside the Ligers streamline and hit the main accelerator boosters. The Liger shuddered and dropped down 50 feet.
"Bit! You won't be able to accelerate past the sound barrier now!" Tauros shouted.
"I should know. Main acceleration is down 20% and right turrets are in operational too."
"Okay everybody, form up and resume assault on Shadowfox!"
"Ready!"
"Right!"
"Brad! Watch out! Their on your tail!"
Brad didn't answer. Instead, it started to shoot down the formation. As the two beams of energy rocketed forward, it suddenly veered of course and harmlessly exploded to the side.
"No!"
"Yes!" As the team projected the sonic blast right at the helpless Zoid, Brad could only watch helplessly as he got blown away.
"Oh no. Now it's 3 against 2."
Suddenly Jamie seemed to have changed as the Wild Eagle announced "Enough waiting! Lets go!" shooting down Maximus' Raynos.
"What?! How could I have gone down so fast?" Maximus screamed as his seat ejected and he floated down.
"Well, at least it's equal."
"Okay! Time to implement plan 2-2 Flying combat"
"I heard you."
The two crafts sped off in opposite directions, where each settled at the opposite borders of the battlefield.
"Let's go two on one, so that way we'll get the advantage!" Bit relayed to The Wild Eagle.
"Got that."
The Raynos and Liger sped off to Johns Pteras.
Aviana smirked. They fell for it. He positioned his Sniperwing onto hover mode, and then suddenly reversed to the tail of the gun. He aimed.
"Everything is going to plan." thought John as he suddenly barreled, deflecting the enemy fire.
"Hey Bit! Something doesn't seem right..." the Wild Eagle commented.
His finger grasped the trigger.
"Nothing is going to happen!" Bit replied, shooting another barrage of missiles at John's ship.
"Look out!" Leena shrieked suddenly, "That's not any ordinary craft, that's a flying Gunsniper!"
"Too late." He fired.
As the two energy blasts rocketed toward the Liger, time seemed to slow as Bit jammed the accelerator button. The mangled booster flared, and then blasted as Bit broke the sound barrier again.
"Yes!"
"Think again!"
Once again the blasts veered again headed straight towards the Liger as John watched the scene from behind.
"B i t, b r a k e..."
"I'm one step ahead of you!" Suddenly the Liger fired its front boosters and it screeched to a stop. The lights streaked past the Liger and right towards John's Pteras.
"Oops--" John mumbled as he got blasted by his teammate's fire.
"YES!!"
"Oh-god," Aviana gasped, suddenly flaring. Now it was two against one. Then he resumed his cool state. He still had some tricks up his sleeve.
"Nice job!" The Wild Eagle commented. "Now let's finish the job!" The two players rocketed off towards the Sniperwing.
"Hmmm, interesting," Aviana thought, while reversing the combat system back to high speed air combat. "Wait till they see that technique in the hands of a pro!" He fired his entire canister and then accelerated, catching the whole barrage behind him. Then he switched on his stealth system.
"Missiles at 5 o'clock!" the Wild Eagle thought when suddenly he lost control of his ship resulting from something he didn't know. The disable craft rode helplessly as the plasma barrage rocketed forward. POW! Even though he had dodged the attack, the maneuver put him out of the battle.
"Jamie!" Suddenly the command system screen flashed on with PLASMA STORM imprinted on it. "Thanks Liger! Plasma, Storm!!!"
"That's the attack on page 354 of volume 5!" Tauros exclaimed with glee, knowing he had installed 80 plasma emitters.
Suddenly, the entire body of the Liger began to glow white as a dense cloud of partials surrounded him. Then, going after the area of least resistance, and the target it was aimed for, it went after the Sniperwing.
"This team is full of surprises," Aviana thought as he flinched before he got hit by a million tiny plasma beams. Crashing to the ground, the Command System failed to freeze. Suddenly the battered armor ejected from the machine and there revealed was a Gunsniper! Bit watched with awe until the system started to go haywire.
"Hey Doc! What's going on?"
"Never mind that! Get back to the hover cargo to switch to Schneider mode."
"Copy that!"
The Liger rose onto the same CAS conversion platform that had fitted the Aves Conversion, as it disassembled the battered shields and replaced an orange armor which Bit knew as Schneider.
"Goooo SCHNEIDER!" Bit exclaimed as he jumped off the port and onto the ground, confronting the Gunsniper. He leaped trying to hit it with the strike laser claw but it hit him with a well placed bullet. Falling back, he deployed his shield waiting for his moment of weakness.
Waiting for this moment, without showing any signs of movement the Gunsniper switched modes. He was going to use a little trick that he had learned from his great, great grandfather. Taking careful aim, he fired three bullets. The first one stuck, the second one drove, and the third one hit him through the shield.
"Aargh!"
"Shield power decreased by 80%" Jamie announced, having gotten back to the Hover Cargo.
"That's it!" Liger started firing missiles at the Gunsniper. Being unable to respond each hit and hit and hit. Suddenly his command system froze and the Judge concluded the battle.
"Battle over! Battle over! The winner is...the Blitz Team! Congratulations on your first victory in Class S" The capsule closed as it rocketed back to the satellite where it came from.
Later, on an informal meeting with the Supersonic Team, the teams both exchanged remarks and compliments about their battle while Leena started to wonder how she could get a Sniperwing.
"As the judge said, Congratulations on your win!" The head of the Battle Commission remarked. "Here is your prize money." Tauros nearly fainted with delight when he saw the sum.
"Now don't go spending it on useless..." Jamie tried to warn.

Far, far away the Judge Capsule surveyed the field with obvious confusion.
"There seem to be no teams present at the time. Battle has been canceled!" Suddenly a sandstorm blew and the capsule fell over. The judge sweat dropped.
"Hey! Cool! A robot!" the young man observed right before mounting the robot onto his camels and riding of in the sandstorm.
Professor Yagonativa looked at the situation with great disgust. He had been accepted, against his consent, to go and explore the system. A day of research had already led to this. He started to think he would have been better off without joining the special team of investigators. Yet he also felt that it was time to investigate.
"Due to enormous advances in technology, and our highly trained crew, it is now possible for us to send you on an expedition without any experience at all." Blah, Blah, Blah. What he was really interested in was the super Gluon drive which would allow them to warp the third dimension so that they could cut down the journey time by 100%. But it never had been tested before. How did he know it would work? And it would also take a month to journey far enough from the earth in order to safely deploy the system.
"...we salute you all for your bravery. You are not different from the pioneers who risked their lives to explore new and unknown lands. In today's world, we must now leave the relative safety of our homes and venture out where no man has ever gone before. May god be with you.
With an enormous boom, the blasters blasted of the pad as the boosters dis-attached right when they reached the critical velocity. As it left earth, the professor thought, "Was this all really necessary?"
