Chapter VII: The Victor
.
Van immediately charged the Koenig Wolf at the signal of Eve. However, the Wolf simply stood still.
Van was immediately suspicious.
He had sensed something within him that made him excited for his blood pumped in anticipation of a good fight. But as he neared him, there was a strange aura within his opponent that generated fear and Van was not easy to scare.
And Fiona felt Van's reluctance.
"Why is Weis just standing there?" Irvine asked bewilderingly as he watched the Wolf wait for the Blade Liger's attack. When the girls looked at Eve and found her smiling, they knew that something was up.
"Weis is a defensive pilot," Eve smiled as she looked at the two Zoidians. "Plus he needs to conserve his energy."
"How come?" Moonbay asked. But before she was answered, the Liger leapt and began to strike with its claws. The Wolf merely looked up and suddenly ran forwards in full sprint causing the Liger to hit nothing but air.
The Wolf turned suddenly and pounced on the Liger. Caught unawares, Van, in instinct, turned on the ion boosters and successfully dodged Weis's attack. But the Koenig Wolf began its pursuit, matching the Liger at its speed.
"He's fast," Raven commented as he watched Weis's performance. "Is he using an organoid?." That comment earned him a hard glare from Eve.
"He's not using anything but his own skills," she said with an air of defiant dignity. "Not yet, anyway."
"What does that mean?" Reese asked as she watched the Blade Liger quickly turned and struck the Wolf with its paw. But again, the Wolf seemed to dodge the attack and charged to the chasm wall. Van followed the Wolf to what seem to be a futile attempt but the Wolf kept on going towards the wall.
"Watch this," Eve smiled as she glanced at Fiona who only smiled at the girl's enthusiasm.
Van watched as the Wolf suddenly ran up the wall and suddenly flipped over to face the Blade Liger, its claws glowing. Van suddenly turned the Liger sideways to avoid the attack and just in time as well. For where he stood earlier, Van saw the ground crumble into a large crater. He almost forgot to breathe.
"That was dangerous," Fiona said worriedly as she saw the Wolf slowly walking out of the crater.
"The pilot anticipated Van's dodge," Vipay said as he smiled to himself.
"Apparently he's trying to psych young Van up," Groscau said as he marveled at the wolf.
"To what end?" Reese asked.
"To tell Van that he could take him anytime he wanted," Raven said as he smirked. "That's pretty cocky."
"He'll regret that," Irvine smirked. "Once Van get hyped there won't be anyone to stop him. He fought off the Deathstinger and two Deathsaurers. Something like this is just exercise for him."
"The Wolf's pilot is putting on a show," Wager said as he studied the zoid's movements. "He's anticipating every move Van will make and if the wolf did create his own mistake, he would have just adjust his methods." He then turned to Eve and smiled at her. "Forgive me for my indulgences but where are you going?"
"Guylos," Eve's eyes were suddenly filled with pain. Reese and Fiona felt it as well. It was like the pain of losing everything and seeing the remnants of that pain.
"I see," Wager's voice was soft as he watched the battle.
The Blade Liger had its blades down and prepared to attack. Charging at full speed, the blades were charged up and prepared to cut the Koenig wolf in half.
Weis charged as well into a head on collision with the Liger. Just as the Liger was about to strike, The Koenig wolf clamped down its jaws on one of the blades and flipped the Blade Liger on its underside. Immediately, the wolf pounced on the Liger and bit its neck. A surge of electricity ran through the Liger's body freezing its command system. Within a few seconds, the Liger was motionless and the Wolf howled in victory.
The crowd cheered as Fiona and the rest blinked in bewilderment. This came to a shock to them except from Eve who looked relived and worried at the same time.
"Get out of there, you fool," she whispered softly. The two zoidians looked at her confusingly as they heard her. Suddenly, her eyes were empty of all life as she spoke. "King. Awake." The wolf suddenly looked at her and waited. "Open." The canopy opened with a sickening hiss that they heard as steam rushed out the cockpit.
Everyone stared in horror as Weis's unconscious body was slumped forward towards the controls.
