Akurei-Shinzo: Yay! I can finally write my fanfic again! Sorry it took so long! I don't own Zoids, and if I did the world as we know it will be in big trouble if Cloudy_No_Miko gets a hold of a real Mister Boom-Boom…

=============================================================

Chapter 3: The Ionization Field

            "I wonder what's in here," said Ryo as he and his Liger Zero X entered an old, abandoned building. "Why would the map lead us here X?"

            X gave a roar and continued to walk inside. A piece of ceiling almost landed on them as the old building began to crumble. They continued to make their way into the ruins. They finally came into a strange room, which resembled the inside of a Hover Cargo.

            "What is this place?" asked Ryo.

            Panels in the wall opened up and then metal claws holding pieces of metal headed towards Ryo and his Liger. Ryo desperately tried to make his Zoid move, but for some reason X didn't want to move at all. The metal claws attached the armor onto X and backed up into the wall and the panels closed shut. Ryo now saw that this was his Liger's armor, it was really neat. The armor was almost completely black, outlined in gold with two laser blades on its back.

            "Hey," said Ryo. "This is pretty neat! I've got to show this to my friends!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Ummm…."said Ryo. "What are you doing?"

            Ryo had finally located Emma's base, but right now she seemed to be loading a Venomous Viper onto her Gun Sniper LT. Her friends Erin, a tall girl with brown hair and gray eyes who owned a Blade Liger and a silver organoid named Zeke, and Annie, a tall girl with curly blonde hair tied back into a pony tail who owned a Shadow Fox, were both shaking their heads.

            "Don't ask," answered Annie as she got into her Shadow Fox. "I'm going to find Katsuo, I heard that he got his Command Wolf, Sieg, to transform into Konig Wolf."

            "I'm going to see if Asli and Holly are here," said Erin getting into her Blade Liger. A silver organoid gave a cry and fused with the Blade Liger, then the two of them left Ryo and Emma.

            "You sure you don't need any help?" asked Ryo when Emma finished loading the Venomous Viper onto her Mister Boom-Boom.

            "Nope," said Emma. "I got it."

            After an hour, Emma still hadn't gotten her Zoid to move an inch. Ryo and his Liger look on as Emma kept working away at the controls trying to get the Zoid to move (but if you've seen the Gun Sniper LT [Leena's Gun Sniper from Zoids/Zero] and add another Zoid on top of that thing, which was already loaded down with guns, it would be kind of hard to move).

            "I WILL MOVE!" shouted Emma. Ryo and his Liger sweatdropped.

            "Uh, I'll go see if I can find Tracy now…"said Ryo, inching away.

            "I WILL MOVE!" shouted Emma, apparently not listening…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "I wonder where she is," said Ryo. He had searched for Tracy and her Liger Zero for a while, but they were nowhere to be found. "This place is huge, how can I find her…"

            Just then a bunch of Zaber Fangs popped up out of nowhere and caused Ryo and his Liger Zero X to jump back. The enemy Zoids had their guns pointing at Ryo…

            "Look," said a voice. "I'm only going to say this once. If you want to live hand over your Zoid!"

            "What!" exclaimed Ryo. "No way!"

            "Then prepare to meet your doom!"

            Ryo soon noticed that they were surrounded by many other Zaber Fangs and were soon dodging the rain of bullets that came down upon them.

            "This isn't fair!" shouted Ryo as he and his Liger were cornered against a wall of stone. The Zaber Fangs were slowly making their way towards him.

            "Remember kid, it's your fault that this happened!" said the leader.

            "X," said Ryo. "Can't you use Strike Laser Claw? Or anything?!"

            Liger Zero X gave a roar and extended both blades, at first Ryo thought X was going to charge at the Zaber Fangs, but he didn't even budge. Then the Zaber Fangs leapt at him, and the control screen flashed 'Ionization Field Activated'. Ryo didn't really know what was happening, but suddenly all of the enemy Zoids that were about to jump him were forced back into a stone wall! All of their command systems were frozen! The remaining Zaber Fangs were in shock.

            "What the hell?!" asked one of them.

They all fired at Ryo, but the force field that had been created by the Ionization Field all of the bullets bounced off the energy shield and were redirected towards the enemy Zoids. Knocking every one of their command systems out.

            "What the hell was that?" asked the leader, who had just regain consciousness. "That's no ordinary Zoid…"

            "What…did you just do?" asked Ryo to X, Ryo didn't know whether to be excited or worried. What kind of power did his Zoid just unleash?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Meanwhile, a pair of binoculars zoomed in on Ryo and his Liger Zero X, a mysterious figure reached for his walkie talkie.

            "Hey boss," said the man. "We've got ourselves another problem…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Meanwhile, back at the base with Emma…

            "I WILL MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

            Clunk! The Gun Sniper toppled over…

            "I'm okay…I've accomplished moving…now…I SHALL GET UP!…Any time now…"

===============================================================

Akurei-Shinzo: Since you all have waited so long for me to put up a new chapter, I've decided to put up the next chapter as a bonus for you all!

===============================================================

Chapter 4: The Wandering Zoid Pilot

            A black Storm Sworder was zooming across the skies, the pilot, and a young fourteen-year old girl with long raven colored hair tied back into a ponytail, was seeming to have a good time. The pilot's name was Jeni.

            "This is so much fun!" shouted Jeni as she zoomed around the air. "I wonder where Tracy is, she said she'd… oh, there she is!"

            Jeni descended towards the ground at tremendous speed and landed besides the Liger Zero.

            "Hey Jeni," said Tracy.

            ""Hey Tracy!" replied Jeni. "Did you hear the news?"

            "What news?"

            "About this illegal Zoid pilot!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Finally," said Ryo. He and Liger Zero X finally spotted Tracy and her Liger Zero. She seemed to be having a conversation with another girl with a Black Storm Sworder…

            "I see…" said Tracy, looking concerned.

            "Yeah, they say he has this illegal weapon and… who's that?" asked Jeni.

            "Um…" said Ryo. "Hi?"

            "His name is Ryo, Ryo this is Jeni," said Tracy. "Oh, Ryo, I forgot to give you this."

            Tracy walked up to Liger Zero X and did something to it's controls.

            "What did you do?" asked Ryo.

            "I gave you my ID number," answered Tracy. "If you ever need my help you can use that to contact me, if I'm available that is…"

            "But Tracy!" protested Jeni. "He's that illegal Zoid pilot!"

            "What?!" exclaimed Ryo. He was an illegal Zoid pilot?!

            "You're not on the ZBC's (Zoid Battle Commision) Database! And you have that illegal weapon Ionization Field! You're wanted all over Planet Zi!"

            "Calm down Jeni," said Tracy. "As long as he doesn't use that thing he's just another normal Zoid pilot right?"

            "I guess so…" answered Jeni. "Here, you can have my ID number too!"

            "Thanks," replied Ryo. "But why is the Ionization Field illegal?"

            "That weapon makes a two-mile radius shield around the Zoid and other Zoids can't enter that area. Ammunition is also useless. So I suggest you don't use that again if you don't want any trouble," said Tracy.

            "Okay…" replied Ryo.

            "Hey," exclaimed Jeni. "I know this awesome place where you can find these neat weapons you can equip on your Zoid! You want to come?"

            "Sure," said Tracy. "We can form a team here! What do you say, Ryo?"

            "…Sure!" answered Ryo.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Our target has begun to make his move," said a mysterious voice. "Get the scout Zoids diploid!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Strike Laser Claw!" shouted Tracy as she sliced through several Killer Domes.

            "Let's go X!" shouted Ryo as he and Liger Zero X, with both blades extended, charged the enemy Zoids. Meanwhile Jeni was swooping through the air slicing up enemy Pteras.

            "This is going to get my that rare item I always wanted!" said Jeni.

            "Hey Tracy," said Ryo. "Why can't I use the Strike Laser Claw?"

            "You have to build up your Zoid's affection level before you can use a powerful attack like that," answered Tracy. "What was that?!"

            They group heard what seemed like a stampede coming towards them! The turned up and saw a bunch of Scout Foxes, Pteras, and a Spinosapper looking down at them. Their guns all pointing at Ryo and Liger Zero X.

            "In the name of the ZBC," said the leader, who was in the Spinosapper. "Surrender!"
