Chapter 5
The New Enemy: The Guardian Force
Years Later
Anara had just finished washing Quantum Cat when David and Andrew came out of no where chasing a Command Wolf. She suspected that the high speed boosters on the Zoid were giving it the extra speed.
"Anara, could you give us a hand?" Bee asked.
"This ********* Command Wolf is too fast!" Andrew yelled.
"Strike Laser Claw!" Anara exclaimed as the Quantum Cat tore the right legs off the Command Wolf.
When the Zoid pilot ejected, Andrew caught him.
"Tell me what I want to know and maybe, you'll live." Andrew threatened the man.
"Okay, that night a Gustav was captured. There was a Shield Liger and a Command Wolf behind it with an organoid. A blond girl told us about some rogue group of Zoid pilots within the Empire so we let them go. That's it. I swear." He said terrified.
"Fanock, let him go." Anara said. "I believe him."
Andrew put away his gun. "So do I." He said.
That night, Andrew had his results and he called Bee and Anara over.
"The Gustav wasn't much to go on but what he said later about an organoid got me thinking. There are only four known organoids. Three are rogue but always are with their human partner but the fourth is part of the Republic Army. More importantly, it belongs to a Van Flyhight." Andrew said pulling up a group shot of the Guardian Force. "He's part of the Guardian Force. The Shield Liger evolved into what is now known as a Blade Liger. The Command Wolf was replaced with the new Lightning Saix. And you might notice the blond girl named Fiona."
Anara stared at the picture. She knew who she had to kill.
**************************************************************************** **
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" A soldier yelled over the intercom.
Van ran to the Blade Liger. Zeke had already fused with it and Van hoped it wasn't Raven. Fiona was in the control tower.
"Van, thank god. It isn't Raven or anyone we know. But you guys better get out there." She said.
The Blade Liger, Dibison, and the Lightning Saix left the base to see what some would consider a massacre. All around them, Zoid corpses littered the landscape.
"Beak, get an identification on the Purple Liger." Thomas said.
After a few seconds, the word, "CLASSIFIED", appeared on his screen.
"Van, that purple Liger is a classified Zoid that according to Beak, belongs to the Republic." Thomas told Van.
Before Van could answer, he was interrupted by what seemed to be a girl's voice that was even younger than Raven.
"Give me Fiona's head and we'll stop this attack." She said.
"Why do you want with Fiona?" Van asked.
"Because of her, I'm an orphan." She said.
"Either hand her over to us or we'll level this base starting with you three." An older man said clearly from the Dibison.
"And trust us. We're more than capable. Even if you stop the Dibison and me, you won't get our young friend." A younger man probably the same age as Van said.
Irvine sent his Lightning Saix into his top speed. He hoped that his tremendous speed would allow him to defeat the three Zoids. However, he didn't believe what he just saw. It was the purple Liger. It was rapidly gaining speed and it didn't seem to be at top speed yet. A claw began to glow and the strange Liger jumped into the air. The glowing claw sliced cleanly through the Saix and the Zoid landed as gracefully as a cat would after killing its prey. Before Van could initiate his attack, a comm message came to him directly from President Herman herself.
"Guardian Force, you are ordered to retreat. Pick up the pilot of the Lightning Saix and return to the capital." The President ordered.
"But..." Van said.
"Follow orders." The President said.
The orders were followed and they managed to get out of there.
**************************************************************************** *
Van sat on the couch with the entire group in the same room. There was a large monitor in the room. The President and Dr. Dee walked into the room and a conference table came out of the floor. Chairs were included and they sat down.
"Computer, open classified files QC1-QC375." The President said.
The monitors on the conference table began to display data on a single Zoid. The purple Liger was well known by the Republic military.
"Fifty years ago, during the rebellion, the fledgling rebellion was in shambles. In a battle that some thought would be the final battle, the Quantum Cat appeared out of no where. Working its way through the Imperial defenses as if they didn't even exist, this Zoid decimated the Imperial Battalion and saved us. The pilot of the Quantum Cat at the time was a man named Jason Black. The only time the Quantum Cat had lost was the final battle in which a Rev Raptor was able to shove one of its blades into the severally weakened Quantum Cat. The blade hit the pilot and the attack killed him. Following his wishes, we released the Zoid with the remains and we never saw it again until yesterday." The President said.
"Is this correct? Jason Black and the Quantum Cat took down fifty Genosaurers." Thomas asked.
"It is. And before you ask, even with the combined weight of the Imperial and Republic armies, we wouldn't even be able to scratch the Quantum Cat's paint job. Dr. Dee will be able to explain more about the Quantum Cat." The President said.
"Thank you, Louise. Now, the Quantum Cat has an integrated organoid system. The armor absorbs any energy weapon's attack and converts it to its needs. Typically, based on past experience, the Quantum Cat will utilize the energy for any repairs. In terms of basic intelligence, it rivals the greatest minds of our time. Based on excavations of Ancient Zoidian ruins, we've found the Quantum Cat wasn't built by the Ancient Zoidians but by an even older race that are even more rarer than the Ancient Zoidians. This race predates the Ancient Zoidians by about one- hundred and seventy-five million years. This race was known as the Builders and I believe they were the original creators of the first Zoids." Dr. Dee said.
"Do you think this girl that is piloting the Quantum Cat could be one of these builders?" Fiona asked.
"It's entirely possible. The family that was killed could have adopted her as a baby." Dr. Dee said.
Suddenly, Fiona found herself on the scene of a battlefield. She was in a town being attacked by the Empire. The town was mounting its own defense but from the way things looked, this town wouldn't last much longer. Fiona heard an explosion nearby and saw a Dark Horn fire its particle cannon into a Red Horn. Inside the Red Horn, she saw a five year old girl go unconscious. Then, she was back in the conference room.
"Major Sali Rall." Fiona said.
"Who?" Van asked.
"Major Sali Rall of the Imperial Military. She's the one who started all of this." Fiona said. "Who is she?"
A quick check of Imperial Military records shown that Major Sali Rall was a devout Proezen loyalist. She disappeared before the Deathsaurer was destroyed and it was presumed that she was a bandit like most former Proezen loyalists were.
Suddenly, Fiona was on another battlefield watching a Genosaurer fight the same three Zoids they saw just a few days ago. She watched as the charged particle gun hit the Quantum Cat and how the nanites repaired the Zoid, allowing the Quantum Cat to destroy the Genosaurer and Major Rall along with her.
"We're still trying to find out where she..." Thomas was saying.
"You won't find her. The girl that pilots the Quantum Cat killed her. She'd just lost her family and she now blames me. I don't know why." Fiona said.
**************************************************************************** **
It was a week later and Anara spotted the Blue Blade Liger at an Imperial Military base. The Dibison and a new Lightning Saix were also there. Andrew Fanock and David Bee soon arrived. We had a plan. We would attack at night.
