The ship spanning about a quarter of a mile in width set down on the planet. The landing thrusters were turning on and off repeatedly for a couple of minutes before finally shutting down. A large bay door opened and hit the dirt. On the other side passengers were filing out and heading for the cargo bay to get their stuff. Construction people were moving about helping with the unloading of materials needed for the newly established colony.

A heavy man stepped of the ship and walked through the mess of people rushing in and out of the ship. Followed by two aids he walked toward four men standing off in the distance by a whale king. He stood proud with his white beard and extended his hand to the man in the middle of the group of four. The man in response shook his hand.

"Welcome to planet Zi, Captain."

"Thank you, on the behalf of Earth we thank both the Republic and Empire for assisting us with this colony."

As the higher ups were going through the motions, a boy took on look at the ground and dashed for the exit of the ship. After spending two months onboard the Churchill he was excited. He grabbed his pack and his duffle bag on the way out. After three steps outside he just stared in amazement.

"I can't believe I'm on another planet." He did a 360. "This is awesome."

When he finally came out of the daze he looked up and saw a gigantic hand coming at him. He got out of the way just in time. When he looked up he saw a giant gorilla type machine. It stopped a few feet ahead and turned around. The cockpit opened up and the pilot stuck his head out.

"Hey kid watch where you're going." With that the pilot got back in and walked on the ramp and into the cargo hold.

The kid could on stare in amazement. "Tha.Tha.That was a.a.zoid." He had heard stories but never actually seen one seeing how he grew up on another planet two months away.

"Yes that is kid." Said a female voice behind him. "On this planet there are all kinds of zoids."

The boy turned around to face a woman, kind of tall, green eyes, tan, with long wavy black hair. She was wearing a tight white spaghetti strap mid- drift top and jeans. She looked him in the eyes.

"So what's your name kid."

"I'm not a kid, I'm 17." He stared back and then relaxed. "The name's John Auden."

"Well nice to meet you, John Auden." She patted him on the shoulder. He could feel the rings on her hand. "I'm Jayde Adare, I'm a mechanic in the nearby town who got hired to help you guys move in." She smiled and looked around. "So where's your family?"

"Back on Earth."

"What!" She looked at him shocked. "You're kidding right."

"Nope."

"How.what.do they know where you ARE!"

"Yupe"

"WHAT!" John was enjoying watching her squirm but had to stop it before she exploded. So he explained to her what she needed to know and left it at that. "But where are you going to stay if you don't know anyone."

"I'll manage, it was nice meeting you but I got to go, the sun looks like it's going to set soon so I got to find a place to stay." He reached down and grabbed both his pack and bag and started walking away. Jayde just stood there thinking about the kid.

"Hey wait a minute, I got an idea. How about you stay with me and my dad!" John stopped and turned around. Jayde walked up to him. "You know at least until you can get a place of your own." John though about it for a while and then shrugged. "Alright then it's settled as soon as I'm finished we'll get out of here and head back."

After Jayde finished her job she signaled John and they both headed for her zoid.

"Dudet that's your zoid?"

"Yeah but before we go, listen I'm sorry but Stormy is a one seater so I hope you don't mine being close for say 20 minutes at top speed." She let out a 'be a sport kind' of laugh. John just let out a sigh. 'Oh boy'.

About 10 minutes into the trip, John and Jayde are crammed in the cockpit as you can imagine.

"How much longer?"

"Quiet whining we are almost there."

"Buts its dark already and your elbow is pinning my arm."

"This is the only way for me to pilot Stormy so." Suddenly an explosion appeared right in front of them. The Zaber Fang made a complete stop.

"What was that?" John turned to ask Jayde. Then three Atak Kats appeared.

"Frell, I thought Jack to care of you guys already." Jayde said to herself. "Listen John this is about to get uncomfortable so just bear with me ok."

Then they got a massage over the radio. Attention pilot, surrender your zoid and all your money now and we won't hurt you

"Give me a break." Jayde reached over and pressed a button and yelled over the comlink. "Ah how about no." And then the Zaber Fang took off running to the left. The three Atak Kats close behind firing there 20mm Cannons at the Jayde and John. The Zaber Fang then did a 180 and fired its AEZ 20mm Beam Gun and hit the Kat on the right triggering a command freeze along with taking a chunk out of its leg. After that she charged the remaining two head on and fired her Small-Bore Anti-Zoid Laser Machinegun. She nailed the center one disabling it but not before taking a hit in the front right leg by the remaining Atak Kat. The Zaber took a big spill crashing into and past one of the damaged Atak Kats.

John shook his head no horizontal in the cockpit looked in front to see Jayde sprawled out on top of him.

"Jayde. Jayde you ok?" He shook her.

"Yeah, uh, what happened?" She looked up to find her face inches away from the consol and her hand on John's head holding on to his hair. "Oh yeah." She groaned. Then they both looked up at the Atak Kat above them with its cannons pointed at the fallen Zaber. Both were too dazed to do anything but stare at it.

Then out of nowhere a black liger came running. Its front opened up and an energy shield appeared and rammed the Atak Kat.

Over the Comlink John and Jayde could hear an excited voice. Take that, you frelling bandits. Hey Jayde you okay down there Then an image appeared on the Zaber's screen of a blue haired girl with a white tank top with the words "cruel" written in blue on it. Oh my. Ah. I didn't know you had company I'll you two along ok Then the image disappeared.

Jayde still in her current position reached over to open the comlink once again. "Get down here now Paige"

All the while John laid there thinking about what just happened.

'This is going to be more interesting than I thought. Most definitely.'
