1,000 EYES

I'll Give You Proof!

            The König Wolf stepped closer to me first.  Its pilot opened a comm. link.

            "Hey, who do you think you are?!  Stupid Backdraft…" He was a young man with blue hair and eyes.  He couldn't have been older than fourteen.

            "First, I am not a member of the Backdraft.  I am the leader of a better organization, the Shadow Serpents." I paused and tried to make eye contact with him, but he avoided me temporarily.  "Second, what's your name?"

            "My name?" He blinks several times before showing his teeth and growling.  "I'm Ryan Echols, and I've never lost a battle in my life!"

            "Then you may want to prepare yourself for a major disappointment."

            "Why you…" Ryan growled again and gave me what was supposed to be a terrifying glare.  I found it childish and laughed.  He blinked and growled again.  I'd finally gotten under his skin.  His König Wolf crouched down before leaping at me.

            I moved the Saix to the left just enough to avoid him.  Ryan and his Zoid hit the ground hard and stumbled a little.  It was enough for the Wolf to lose its balance and fall on its side.  I turned the Saix to face it.

            "Get away from him!" Before I could move any closer, his teammates positioned themselves in between us.  Without a word, I aimed my cannon carefully and shot one in the neck.  His partner leaped at me and I fired twice into the Zoid's chest.  Both Command Wolves were system frozen before they hit the ground.

            "Come, now.  Why don't you introduce yourself to us?" A man I recognized opened a comm. link to my Zoid and addressed me.

            "I am Sirus Schwarz, leader of the Shadow Serpents.  If I'm not mistaken, you are Jack Cisco."  He nodded.

            "I am.  And these two ladies with me are Chris and Kelly Tasker." The two other Lightning Saix next to him advanced.  Ryan was still on the ground next to me, and had just decided to get up.  I didn't give him the chance.  My Saix raised it's right leg and drove the claws into the side of the König Wolf.  Ryan growled as the Zoid fell back down.  I shifted the cannon and fired twice into the Zoid's underside.

            With nothing but system frozen Wolf Zoids behind me, I advanced on the Lightning Team.  Chris and Kelly each leaped to the side and began circling me closely at incredible speed.  While they kept me trapped, Jack backed out and ran around in a wide loop, getting ready to deal a fatal blow to me.  I casually flipped a switch and smoke billowed out of my Zoid's mouth.  My Saix crouched down as low as it could and leaped over the circling Zoids.  In midair I flipped another switch, this one for a cloaking device.

            When I hit the ground, I was completely invisible to them.  This was made obvious when Jack charged into the smoke, apparently thinking I was still inside.  Chris and Kelly collided as they broke out of their circle.  This was going even better than I'd planned.  Jack was the only threat left, and a cloud of smoke surrounded him.  This was my chance.

            I charged the cloud, but as I came close and leaped into the air, so did Jack.  We crashed in midair and hit the ground tumbling.  When my Saix stood again, the cloaking device was failing.  Jack must have been as dazed as I was.  His Saix stood slowly and shook itself off.

            "Very…nice…" He said and gripped the controls.  Chris and Kelly were mobile again.  They stood next to him in defensive positions.  I sighed and shot Chris's in the chest.  Kelly turned to run and I nailed her in the side.  Both Zoids fell and hit the ground hard.  Jack and I were alone again.

            "Shall we finish this?  I'm starting to get tired of destroying your teammates." His answer was simple enough.  Jack charged me head on.

            When he was maybe thirty yards away I swerved to the right and swiped at his Zoid's hind legs with my Saix's claw.  It tripped him up a bit and he fell.  I took my chance and stood over him triumphantly.

            "You were impressive, but not quite good enough."

            "You just got lucky…besides, it's not over yet!" Jack tried to raise his Zoid off the ground but I beat him to action.  My Zoid raised a paw and drove the claws deep into the Saix's chest.

            "Now it is."

Shadowwolf:  Shortness.  Oh well…hopefully the next chapter will be better.  Hope you enjoyed and please review!
