The day dawned cold and clear and Aradia waited like the rest of the Colonies Forces behind the safety of the cliffs. The Bandits deployed their Zoids, mostly Rev Raptors and Dibisons with the occasional worn looking Shield Liger. Then when Aradia gave the signal they fake Gunsniper unit opened fire. Predictably half of the forces started to run straight for the cliff incline and the Raptors/Gunsnipers quickly ran for a makeshift exit constructed over the night.

"All right guys lets bomb the crap out of them, dump it!" Circes command came over the comm. line; she was leading the bombing Redlers on their attack run. "On the mark sonic boom, brace yourselves" Circe ordered and received various affirmatives, "Follow the boom and drop your bombs before they can get up again, ready...MARK". Circe hit Mach 3 in 5 seconds and flew low to the ground, her sonic boom lifting even the heavy Dibison of the ground and slamming them on their side. Behind her the Redlers flew low and dropped their bombs, not a single zoid got up. "Right guys engage enemy fighters at will, Aradia good luck" Circe said ordering everyone before flying her Storm Sworder top speed to the enemy Raynos; they wouldn't have a chance against her.

"Gunsniper Unit cover fire now!" Aradia ordered the Snipers on the opposite cliff. They opened fire and peppered the abysmal Bandit forces with armour piercing bullets. "Forward Assault march!" Aradia said and broke her Gunsniper into a run leading the Colonies Dibison, scattered Ligers and Iron Kongs into battle.

The Gunsnipers had reduced the enemy forces to half, equal to that of the Colonies Forward Assault. Bullets flew through the air and struck surprised and off balance Bandit forces. Aradia's Vulcan Cannons flared to life and pumped round upon round of bullets into enemy forces, shorting them out while her barrels smoked away. "Aradelft were are you!" Aradia screamed over the open comm., not expecting any reply until his ugly face appeared on her screen.

"Well well I wondered who could have orchestrated such a brilliant plan but I would have never expected it yo be you little Aradia" his snide voice jeered, sending her blood pressure pounding in her ears. "Aradelft" Aradia spat at him. "Now now dear where's the innocent girl I remember don't tell me she got lost when I killed your mother?" he taunted "You may have killed her Aradelft but now its my turn, its my turn" Aradia said and traced the signal to a Shield Liger hanging back from the battle, "Your time has come" and then she cut the signal, running full pelt through the melee to his zoid.

Aradelft was surprised she had managed to trace him but that didn't stop him from dodging her Vulcan Cannons assault and racing around behind her. Aradia somersaulted the Gunsniper over his head, landing behind him again and fired her front claw machine guns; he dodged and countered by jumping on top of her pinning her down.

"Time to die" he hissed at her and laughed. The Liger raised its claw, ready to strike the Gunsniper cockpit capsule when a 12 cannon assault from Thor lifted it off the ground, disabling one of its legs. Aradia flipped her Gunsniper up next to the Liger, "I'll deal with him Thor" she said. "Don't Aradia, let us hand him over to the authorities" Thor said over the comm.

Aradia targeted Aradelfts zoid, her system flashed In Range and she rammed her fist down on the button marked Burn Out, ignoring Thors pleas. All ten of the Gunsnipers machine guns opened fire and drilled right through the Shield Ligers cockpit, killing Aradelft instantly.

Across Aradia face a single tear ran down her cheek and she wondered now wether or not the cost of revenge was worth it... The battle rage on.
