Disclaimer: I do not own zoids... Sadly... I wish I did I'd make a lot of money from Hasbro, Tomy, and many zoid customizers such as Phenotype. To see Phenotype's work go to www.pheno.zoids.org.uk Okay... So all I do own is Shadow and a new character you'll meet right now!

Troubles from the Past

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a new day on the Planet Zi and everything seems at peace... The Blitz team relaxes in their establishment with a few guests, the Flugel team and Shadow Death Dark. They all seem to be entertained by Bit and his charades. The Doc and Leon seem to be uncomfortable with the fact that Leena is cuddling with the mysterious young man. "So," the Doc said while trying to smile, "what was your past like?" All the attention turns to him as they are all so eager to learn about him. He pauses for a while and opens his mouth, "My past was in the past." Everyone falls from the stupid answer. Doc and Leon shake their fists at him while there is fire in their eyes and in the background, "No stupid answers!!!" Shadow sighs, "Fine." He smirks, "Well on September 30th, a child was exiting the womb of his mother, she was shrieking in pain and..." Leena hits him, "Too much info honey!" Bit, Brad, and Jamie restrain the Doc and Leon from killing Shadow. "Okay, well I don't really remember much... From what I remember, I was with the ZBC since I was 3." Bit questions, "What about before that?" Shadow replies, "They told me I was abandoned..." Brad hits Bit, "Smart move." Bit looks to ground and mumbles, "How was I supposed to know..." Shadow continues, "I was trained and trained by the time I was five." Jamie inquires, "For what?" "To be a pilot. I was also experimented on for a special system. It enhances the pilot's skill to 200% of the original attributes, yet it causes the pilot to become crazy. This is why my eyes are like this." Leon looks at him strange seeing nothing, "Like what?" Shadow's eyes begin to glow an eerie red, "Like this... You see I was the only one to master this system. By time it seemed like nothing." Leena hugs Shadow, "Oh honey, you're just so talented!" Bit mumbles in anger, "I've done a lot of things like mastering the Liger Zero and she didn't do anything about it..." Leena tilts her head, "Did you say something Bit?" Bit sighs and shakes his head, "No..." A message comes to Shadow's phone, "A challenge huh? Sure why not? You guys want to watch?" The Blitz and Flugel teams nod their heads.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Out on the Battle Field~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A pink Blade Liger appears on the battlefield. Shadow mumbles, "Oh no... Not her!" "Yes, Shadow Death Dark it is I, Asuka Gabriel Angel, your life-long rival!" she mumbles to herself, "And biggest admirer..." "Ready? FIGHT!" the judge screams. The two Blade Ligers dash toward the other... Asuka deploys her blades as she charges towards Shadow. Shadow runs closer and closer to her as he jumps before she gets near and uses the thrusters to thrust over her... Asuka seems in shock after this had happen as she attempts to maneuver out, yet she can't as Shadow fires his dual repeaters and his dual impact cannons... Her Blade Liger received slight damage yet not enough to cause her command system to freeze. She turns around and they begin to charge after another... Asuka leaps, hoping to pounce on Shadow, yet he deploys his charged blades straight up as he crouches down to avoid her... The pink Blade Liger receives a gruesome gash on its stomach. Asuka tries to recover as Shadow begins changing his Laser Repeaters to Laser Gatling Rifles with the ACS (Armament Conversion System.) She fully turns around slowly as Shadow has fulfilled his change in weapons and took aim. Asuka quickly puts up her shield as Shadow fires. The shield successfully blocks it yet it brings a cloud of dust and sand up... Shadow takes advantage of this as his liger runs up a mountain while it changes with the ACS again to Laser Sniper Rifles. As the debris clears Asuka looks around. Shadow waits until She has turned 180ยบ so that her shield would not protect her... He fires with such precise aim to hit a tiny cut from his Laser Repeaters that exposed the internal circuitry. This causes her liger to freeze and allowing him to win. She sighs as they jump out of their cockpits and shake hands... Asuka says, "Great job! Surprisingly, you got better. I guess it's because you can't get a date to the ZBC Ball!" She snickers... Shadow glares at her, "I know for a fact that you don't either..." Shadow looks towards Leena, "Leena... Would you care to go to the ZBC ball with me?" Leena ponders and answers, "I wouldn't..."
