Disclaimer: If I did own Zoids, this story would be on the show.

Thank you soooooooooooo much for all the nice reviews!!! I can't believe that I actually got any reviews! Special Thanks to Stella the Warrior, your review made me so happy I almost CRIED!!!

OK, most of you guessed that Hades' Beast is the three-headed dog, Cerberus. But YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!!! The closest guess came from 1234. Lets all give a big round of applause to 1234!!!!!!!! Read on to find out what a Hades' Beast really is.

(The answer to the hint I gave was the Red Eyes Black Dragon.)



Chap 2: First Encounter

In front of the Blitz team stood a huge zoid, the size of the Elephander. It had a midnight black body coated with a lucent black and dark red armor. It was a dragon type zoid with a massive body, coated with an outer skeleton; two large and sturdy legs; a powerfully built tail, with spikes coming out of it's end; short forearms, each with a curved blade situated on the back of its hands (claw) pointing downward, and the sharp edge facing the zoid; a semi-long neck; and a set of small, but razor sharp teeth.

Leena looked completely confused. She raised an eyebrow. "What the hell is a Hades' Beast?"

"It's like the rarest zoid EVER!" Jamie was in a trance, admiring the zoid more than his Pteras.

"If it's so rare, why haven't I ever heard anything about it?" Bit was not impressed. The only rare zoid in his eyes was the Liger 0.

"It's a very old zoid. It was considered the strongest zoid ever made!" Doc smiled.

"Well, it can't be as strong as the Liger." Bit looked proudly to his own zoid.

"I'm not impressed at all. All it has as weapons are two blades. I can't even see if it has any guns or missiles." Leena wasn't too excited about the zoid either.

"Looks big and ferocious, what can it do?" asked Brad.

"No idea." Doc said while everyone sweatdropped.

Doc decided to give the team a small explanation of the zoid, "Here's the deal. The Hades' Beast uses negatronic energy. It was definitely powerful. But as new technology grew, negatrons were no longer used as the main element in a zoid core. Unfortunately, it was impossible to modify the Hades' Beast to the new source of energy. It became harder and harder to get negatrons to refuel the zoid, so people just stopped using them. Today, this thing is only good to collectors or rich snobs who have got nothing better to do than go buy rare zoids. It can also be seen in a display case in a museum."

"So how come we've got one of these? Hey Doc, please tell me you didn't waist all of our earnings into buying this one zoid." Jamie smacked his palm into his forehead.

"Relax Jamie, Hades' Beasts are only worth money if they are perfect, meaning that it has every part that it's suppose to have. This one's only missing a few pieces of metal, yet I got it from a junk dealer named 1234 (AN: lets give another round of applause to the reviewer who guessed closest to what a Hades' Beast is!), at only half the price of a regular zoid! All I have to do is fix it up a little, and then resell it to the highest paying customer, we'll make a fortune!"

"That's all very nice Dad, but how does this have anything to do with ME?!?!?!" Leena was aggravated by her father's selfish acts.

"Well, you see, I've noted that some parts of Gunsnipers are made with almost the same alloy that Hades' Beasts were made out of. If I just patch our new zoid up with your Gunsniper, I'm sure no one would notice that our Hades' Beast was really an incomplete piece of junk! So what do ya say?"

Leena was now ready for a kill. She wasn't about to show any mercy to her father.

As she got ready to pounce on her father, Doc was smart enough to know what to defend himself with. "As soon as I sell the Hades' Beast, I'll give you half the profit so you can buy more modifications for you Gunsniper!"

"Alright, but how much would you say the profit will be?" Leena now had Doc Tauros by the collar. He was at her mercy.

"Heh, Heh, probable around 50 to 100 times the regular battle prize money!" Doc managed to choke out.

"50 to 100!!!!!" Everyone exclaimed. Leena dropped Doc right onto the floor.

"Vow, dis zoid thure is a exvensif one!!" Bit said with his mouth full. Leena saw him munching on her cookies. Take a wild guess what's gonna happen next.

"Leena, I'll be taking apart your Gunsniper to find the alloy that I can use. I hope you don't mind." Said Doc just as Leena was about to take off after Bit.

"WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHAT AM I GOING TO PILOT INTO BATTLE NOOOOOOWWWW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

"The Hades' Beast ofcource."

'It's all for the money. In a few weeks, I'll have my gunsniper back and stronger than ever. It's all for the money.' Leena tried very hard no to beat up her father. She decided to take her rage out on the cookie thief instead.

~ A few hours later ~

Bit has just left for a run with the Liger, Doc was not to be disturbed as he "studied" his zoid models, Brad Decided to go into town, and Jamie was concentrating on the development of a new strategy, leaving Leena no one to torture.

Leena walked back into the hanger to take another look at her, hopefully, temporary zoid. She still couldn't see what's so great about the zoid. All she saw was a big dinosaur like zoid with a knife sticking out of each claw.

"What was Dad thinking, this thing is totally close range combat. He knows how much I suck at close range combat."

She took one more look at the Hades' Beast and decided to leave. "What a lousy piece of crap."

At that remark, a terrifying roar shook the entire room, and echoed through the walls.

"Wha… Am I hearing things? I better go tell Brad his coffee can make you hallucinate."

A growl now shook the ground as well.

Leena ran back to the Hades' Beast. "Holly Shit!" Leena's Eyes were wide. "Did I just hear what I think I heard?"

Hades' Beast gave a snarl

"It's weird enough having a talking zoid, but one that takes pleasure in insulting you, now that's eerie."

Another snarl.

"You think I'm not worthy? I, not good enough to pilot a piece of antique JUNK?!!!!!!!"

The Hades' Beast stood proudly infront of Leena. It growled arrogantly at Leena.

"Are you sure the reason that no one's been able to pilot you, is because no one's able to, or is it because no one can STAND your ATTITUDE!!!"

Roar

"You don't belong on the battle field, just in a museum!"

Screech

"Tin can!"

Roar

"Excuse for a zoid!"

Snarl

"No wait, let me rephrase that. Excuse for trash!"

Growl

"Plastic toy!"

Screech

"Chew toy!"

Snap

"Oh, I'm not just any bitch, I'm the one bitch who's gonna show you who's in charge!"

Hades' Beast tilted its head up and snorted.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY??????? WHY DON"T YOU COME DOWN HERE AND SAY IT TO MY FACE?!!!!!!!!!"

The enormous creature bent down, lowered its neck so that its head almost touched the ground, opened its jaws, and gave a high pitched roar, knocking Leena right off her feet. Just when the zoid was lifting its head back up, Leena jumped on top of it's head and tried to get into its cockpit. She practically had to pry the hatch open. (AN: the Hades' Beast's cockpit opens like the saber tiger's, the dark horn's, or the D-Bison's.)

"Hey! I'm the only stubborn one around here!"

Hades' Beast decided to examine the young pilot's abilities and let her into the cockpit. Once inside, the unfamiliar controls shocked Leena. She's never seen controls like the ones this zoid had. There were two pedals on the floor of the cockpit. As soon as her foot made contact with these pedals, straps bounded her foot onto the pedals tightly.

She tried to lift her foot out of the confinement. Instead, she managed to lift the entire leg of zoid up. "I get it, what ever I do with my leg, the zoid's leg will do as well." Unfortunately for Leena, the pedals were heavy to lift. After only taking a few steps out of the hanger, she was already out of breath. "My legs are so sore, it's like I just ran a marathon. Yo, chew toy, tell me there's a more efficient way of locomotion than this."

Hades' Beast responded with a gentle growl and Leena looked to the sides of the cockpit. All there were was the big screen that allowed her to see the outside world. She looked down a bit and saw a joystick sticking out horizontally on each side. She grabbed them and found out that they were extendable, so she pulled them in towards her.

At that, the outer skeleton that surrounded the zoid, parted from the main body except for two end pieces that were planted into the zoid's back. In between the now-extended poles, a green energy sheet laid over them. The wings have now been unfolded

(AN: after I allowed my little brother to read this passage, I realize that this may be very confusing. In simple terms, the wings of the zoid are like that of a bat's. The metallic poles are like the bones in the bat's wing, and the green energy sheet is like the skin. The wings can also be folded up so that the poles wrap around the zoid's body. Now that I have my bro's OK, let me continue.)

"I didn't know you had WINGS!!!" Leena no longer disregarded the Hades' Beast. She shifted the wing controls (the joysticks) up and down, the wings followed suit, and they began to take off. Leena then noticed a button situated on the joysticks. She press down and ZOOOOOOOM, she sped forward breaking the sound barrier and left a trail of green behind her. (AN: the speed of sound is like 760 or something miles/hour. The Liger 0 Jager is only 330.)

~Minutes later~

Hades' Beast finally landed on the ground. Leena practically fell out of the cockpit. She gasped for air and was still trying to over come her shock of going at mind-boggling speeds. Her arms were aching from flapping the wings every 10 seconds to make sure they stayed up in the air. "How does Jamie do it?" she said as she collapsed.

The Hades' Beast snickered

"Why should I apologize, you deserve to be called a chew toy. Give me one good reason to apologize to you."

The zoid leaped up and flew right out of sight.

"That FUNKIN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (AN: Hades' Beast is male)

Leena picked herself up, sighed, and proceeded to walk home.

I'd like to thank the Red Eyes Black Dragon and the girl-dragon from "Shrek", for the basic body design; my Gunsniper model and the Berserk Fury, for other dinosaur characteristics; and Gundam Deathscythe Hell and a couple of digimons, for other details.

So far, you have seen about 1% of Hades' Beast's powers.

B/L fans, be patient. It's coming…

Also, please review. THEY MAKE ME SOOOOOO HAAAAAAPPYYYY!!!!!!!!! ^_^
