Jamal moved his Berserk Fury into a battle stance as he lowered the footlocks and opened his Buster Claws. Will realized what Jamal was doing and also realized that he had to stop him. If Will let him activate his Triple Charged Particle Gun it would be all over for him and Zack.

"Slash Ligar, power up Excalibur's Wraith" Will commanded.

The two 8-meter long blades on the Slash Ligar's back unfolded, then something out of the ordinary happened. Two more blades unfolded on hinges from the regular blade, increasing their length by almost half. All the blades charged to maximum, and Will ran at Jamal with his blades glowing.

"Fury, power up shield now!" Jamal yelled just in time.

His shields came up and, although the blades demolished the shield, it was enough to stop the attack. Just then, Will heard more explosions behind him. Will turned around and saw Zack's Geno Breaker Jet doing battle with a Geno Breaker. They were firing their SCPGs at each other over and over again.

"Sorry, Will. You're gonna have to fight him on your own" Zack said over the com as he and the other Geno Breaker moved into melee with their Pincer Claws.

Will backed slowly away from Jamal, hoping to stall until his Ligar could recharge for another attack.

"What's the matter, Will? Is your zoid all worn out already?" Jamal cackled "let me take what energy you got left".

Jamal fired his 185mm beam cannon at the Slash Ligar, catching it by surprise and knocking it on its side.

"Buster Claw Energy Drain" Jamal yelled.

The Claws plunged right into the Ligar as if it was melted cheese. Then they stopped spinning.

"What the hell is going on?" Jamal yelled.

Light started glowing from inside the hole in Will's zoid. Suddenly the Berserk Fury was thrown backwards as something small and orange came flying out of the Ligar. It picked itself up and looked straight at Will.

"N.no.it couldn't be an organoid" Will breathed "and yet.well, can't hurt to try. Organoid.. re-fuse!".

Two small boosters opened in the orange zoid's back and turned on. The organoid leapt into the air and flew straight into the prone Slash Ligar. The hole in its side closed up immediately and Will's zoid was back on its feet in no time.

"Hehehe! Your friend the mercenary seems to be down" Jamal sneered "rule number one of zoid battles, always watch your rear".

Will looked behind him and saw the Geno Breaker standing over Zack's zoid with his SCPG pointed directly at the Slash Ligar.

"Nice knowing yah, Will" Jamal laughed.

At that exact second, something green blasted in between Will and Jamal and then continued straight on through the Breaker. The Geno Breaker fell into two different halves as the green something pulled up. They could both see it was a Raynos, and yet different from a normal one. For one thing, it had a pair of Energy Wing Cutters more commonly found on the Storm Sworder. A female face appeared on screen and Will found himself face to face with his rescuer.

"Thought you could use a hand," The girl said, for it was indeed a girl of about Will's age "the name's Sam but you can call me the Raging Hawk".

Jamal was taking this opportunity to try and escape, for the odds were suddenly stacked against him.

"Oh no you don't, bastard" Will swung his Slash Ligar around "you're gonna pay for what you did to me. Ligar, High-Intensity Blade Attack!".

All four of Ligar's blades unfolded, the two on its back and the two on the sides of its mouth, and started pulsating with barely contained energy. The runoff from the blades created a shield in front of Will's zoid.

"You and your damned "order of power" can kiss my ass!" Will yelled as he pushed the throttle froward all the way.

The Ligar ran right at Jamal who, unfortunately, got his Claws in the way. The Buster Claws where hacked off at the base and fell to the ground. Jamal's Fury just toppled over and remained there.

Will walked his zoid over to Zack and opened the channel. The first thing he saw was Zack's angry face.

"What took you so long?!" Zack demanded. They stared at each other for a few moments, then burst into helpless laughter.
