Last time Zero's Double Sworder was destroyed, Zero lost his match, and we saw some back story on him...

If you've read Lightning Count's fic then you know who Adrian is. We'll start in the hospital where Zero is.

"Hey Zero, how ya doin?" Komo asked as he walked in smiling. "How does it look like Komo... I lose my match...

and my Double Sworder... I even lost the golden Zoid Blok. If those controls hadn't changed..." Zero started. "The controls

did change, and your Double Sworder was destroyed so get over it. We found the Zoid Blok. I'm using it this time.

The doctor said by the time the tournament finishes tomorrow you should be able to leave. He also said that he would

get a TV and put it in here so you could watch the match." Komo said. "Uh... excuse me... is this the room of Zero?"

A young man asked as he stepped into the doorway. "Honda? What are you doing here?!" Zero asked loudly.

"Calm down... Max released his hold on my mind when I won... I remember everything i did... and I'm sorry.

About that blue light... that was an organoid right?" Honda asked. "Yea, it was." Komo answered for Zero.

"Organoids have the power to save data from a Zoid Core. I would try searching his memory for the data.

If he has it then you can revive the Zoid Core Data into a blank core. I recommend a bug type zoid." Honda said as he

threw Zero a ball with a Japanese symbol inside. "What's this?" Zero asked as Honda started out the door.

"A ball of power. The power to become invisible." Honda said as he walked away and Kiyo walked in from the other side of the hall.

"Hey guys, hows Bron doin?" Kiyo asked as Zero threw a vase of flowers at Kiyo's head. "'How's Bron'?! What about me you dumbass!"

Zero yelled as the vase hit Kiyo's head. "Ow! Dammit! I just asked cause I saw that you were fine!" Kiyo yelled as Rick walked in

and hit him on the back of the head. "This is a hospital Kiyo... be quiet." Rick said as he walked over to Zero and handed him a laptop and a disk.

"What's this?" Zero asked. "I brought my laptop so I could show you the data I got from Zynrai." Rick replied. Zero poped the disk into

the laptop and openeed the contents. "What in the hell?!?! This is Zoid core data!" Zero yelled in confusion. "Yea, I'll have a blank core

readied for the data, but I need to know the Zoid you want." Rick said. "Well... when I was at the ruins getting the Zoid Bloks... I saw some

carvings on the wall of three scorpion Zoids, I knew what one of them was... the Death Stinger, but the other two, I nicknamed Mirage Stinger

because it was covered in mist, and the Life Stinger because of the heart above it. Now, here are the specifications of the Zoid, the Mirage Stinger."

Zero said as he wrote down specs on a notepad and drew some diagrams(a master artist because it was extremely detailed and he finished it in 5 minutes).

"Wow... these are really good." Rick, Kiyo, and Komo said together. "Give em back and I'll make the color scheme." Zero said as Rick handed him

the notepad and some colored pencils. He finished the color data in about 1 minute, and it was also extremly detailed.

"This could take a week..." Rick said. "Exactly. We'll stay for a week more while we rest from the tournament." Zero said.

"Right... well... I'll run this to the garage." Rick said as he headed for the garage. "Well, I'm gonna leave and get my Genosaurer and

Zega ready for the final round." Komo said as he ran to the garage. "I'm gonna go do repairs on my Liger..." Kiyo said as he walked off.

"Another power sphere... the power of invisibility... maybe I'll use it sometime..." Zero thought that night as he fell asleep.

[Flashback]

"Adrian?" Zero said as he looked around his house. "Where did he go...?" he asked himself as he walked outside and saw two giant footprints.

"A Zoid? But... Adrian can't be a pilot..." Zero said to himself. A Chinese dragon-looking zoid landed next to him. "So you're Adrain's little brother?

He said I'd think you were cute... but yer just a brat without a Zoid... and where is Arsaille? He shoulda been here by now..." the girl in the zoid said.

"Who're you? How do you know my brother?" Zero asked. "You'll find out someday. But..." the girl continued as she opened the cockpit "My name is

Celes. Remember my face, maybe you'll get strong enough to get me to like you. Then again... maybe not..." Celes finished as she closed the cockpit

and flew away. "Wow... she was cute..." Zero said as he stood there watching her fly off.

[Flashback]

"Today the tournament will end! I hope everyone is ready for a long battle!" the man yelled over the P.A. "Finally the time is here... time to

see if Komo is ready to beat them..." Max thought as he made his final check on his Zoid. "Zero? May I come in?" Komo asked as he opened

the door to Zero's room. "Oh... hey Komo." Zero said as he wiped the sleep from his eyes, "What do ya need?" "Well... I'm not sure if

the Genosaurer are ready for this..." Komo said as he sat in the chair next to Zero's bed. "Maybe you're right. But my brother once said,

'If you never try, you'll never reach your potential'." Zero said as he took out a small statue with a Double Sworder-looking bug decoration on the top

and a hole in the center that looks like it was made to fit a small sphere. "Whats that?" Komo asked. "I dunno... my brother gave it to me the last

time i saw him... about 10 years ago. It's supposed to help me be strong... but still... just being around it doesn't seem to do much...

but that doesn't matter... I told you because you asked. Now, for you... just go out there and try your best." Zero said. "Fine... I'll do it..." Komo

said with a hesitant voice. "Why are you hesitating?" Zero asked. "It's just... I feel that I know Max from before the first time we saw him...

but it's nothing..." Komo replied. "Well, hello boys." A woman that looked exactly like Leena walked by. "Uh... who're you?" Zero asked.

"Not important, I know this is the hospital room for the Dragon King team. Now where's Kiyo?" the woman asked quite insistantly. "Behind you.

Hey Kiyo... uh... why do you look so scared?" Zero asked as he saw Kiyo with his mouth hanging open, a scared look in his eyes, and

pointing at the woman. "L... L... Leena?!?!?!?!?!" Kiyo yelled in fear as she looked at him and growled. "There you are!" The woman(Leena) yelled

as she started punching him and smacking him with lead pipes "How dare you keep me waiting! Why didn't you come see me!? It's been 6 years!"

Leena finished as Kiyo was aying on the ground bruised and bloody. "Sorry Leena." Kiyo apologized with a dizzy voice. "Oh well... I've found you and

now I'm never going to let you leave me again, if you even try I'll force you to stay." Leena said as Kiyo got a scared look in his eyes and crawled under Zero's bed.

"Y...you're not here alone right?" Kiyo asked scaridly from under the bed. "Of course not. The whole team's here. They want to hurt you too." Leena said

sweat bullets on Kiyo, Komo, and Zero. "What about us?" Zero and Komo asked. "What about you? I don't even know who you two are." Leena replied.

"I'm Zero... the one who's about to get one of the most powerful Legendary Scorpion-Type Zoids." Zero said. "And I'm Komo, I'm about to go into a battle."

Komo said with a smile.

"You know... they don't really need us do they?" The winds asked each other. "I don't suppose so... but they will." The North Wind answered.

"Kiyo! Yay! We've finally found you! I saw your battle when you used the Trinity Liger! That was so cool so I ordered the model on the spot!"

The Doc said as he ran in and gave Kiyo a big hug. "Ahhh!!!!!! Not you again!" Kiyo yelled in fear sweat bullet on Leena, Komo, and Zero.

"Oh shit!!!!!!! I'm gonna be late!" Komo yelled as he ran out of the room, knocking Kiyo, Leena, and Doc over. "I'm gonna kill him!" Leena

yelled as she ran after Komo with a whole bunch of needles full of anestesia(the kind that makes you sleep). "Oh crap! Zega!" Komo yelled

as he noticed leena was following him. Zega flew next to Komo and let him jump on then they flew to the arena.

"Well... I just got word that Komo just arrived. So once he gets his Zoid ready he will proceed to the final arena. The name of it...

The Magma Field. Very catchy huh? But stay tuned. The giant screens will show us all of the action from about 200 different sides."

A dude over the P.A. said. A Message from Max was on Komo's canopy, it read: "No need to rush Komo. I want to fight you to win,

I won't allow you to be disqualified." "Well Zega... this is it... once we beat Max... we might be able to beat the Demon Team..."

Komo said as he jumped into the Cockpit and Zega flew into the Zoid core. Komo flew his Genosaurer to the final arena, a hollowed

out volcano. "Good, you're here. A waver will be projected on both of your command screens, please sign them and await my signal to begin."

a man said over Max and Komo's intercoms as they both signed them. Komo heard a few beeps that came from his environment scanner.

"What the hell? Hey! This thing is active! They're having us fight in an active volcano!?" Komo thought to himself. "As both of you may have

noticed, this is an active volcano. The volcano will erupt in about 30 minutes, or when enough seismic activity from your Zoids causes

the eruption. You had both best be very careful if you value life." the man said. "Hmmm... a bit more danger allows or a better battle." Max said.

"North Wind(NW from now on)... can you take this over?" Komo asked in his head. "Afraid not, I'm not going to but in unless the East

Wind appears. Even then I might wait and see i you can take him on." NW replied. "Damn... Zega! Get ready!" Komo yelled as the Genosaurer

roared(because of Zega). "Zoid Battle Finals! Ready! Fight!" the man yelled as he took his helecopter above the volcano.

Komo was the first to charge. "To slow!" Max yelled as he jerked his Konig Wolf to the left and tore off some armor from the Genosaurers arm.

Komo charged once again. "Fool!" Max yelled as he jerked his Konig Wolf again, but to the right, tearing off more armor. "Not yet... still a little more..."

Komo thought as he smirked and charged again. "What is he thinking?" Max asked himself as he had the Konig Wolf jump and tear off the back gun from

the Genosaurer. "Still not enough... sorry Genosaurer... but we gotta take more damage..." Komo said to himself as he charged once again.

"Fine! You want it that way?! Then here it is!" Max yelled as he fired his boosters and two blades appeared on the Konig Wolf, one on each side,

the arms of the Genosaurer were sliced off like a hot knife through butter. "Now! Demon Xenocide!" Komo yelled as a dark aura surrounded the Genosaurer

and made it go completely black except for the eyes, they went an evil blood red.

"What?! What is Komo doing!?" Kiyo yelled in confusion while watching the match as he looked on in horror.

"W... what the hell is that thing?!" Max yelled in fear and confusion as his Konig Wolf backed up. Komo chuckled evily, it was like he had changed somehow,

his eyes were the same blood red as the Genosaurer and his pupils were a mystic blue, his skin had gone black like the armor of the Genosaurer, and

scariest of all... his voice had gone evil and merciless. "The Demon Xenocide. I would use no less to defeat you. The death you will sufer will be slow and painful."

the new Komo said in his evil voice as he continued to chuckle like an evil madman. "I didn't want this... I just wanted to test him... perhaps my act was to much..."

Max thought to himself as his mind filled with worry. The arms on the Genosaurer grew back as well as the armor and the weapons he had lost.

"Komo... no... what have you done..." Zero said to himself as he looked on in horror from the hospital television.

The Genosaurer roared in a terrifying tone. "Now, to commence your destruction." Komo said as he moved at such a high speed that it seemed like he teleported.

The Genosaurer appeared behind the Konig Wolf and sliced all of it's boosters off.

A young girl(about 15) burst into Zero's room and grabed him by the collar. "Where is he?! Where is Komo?!" she yelled as she shook him.

"May(the young girl)... Komo told you to stay home. I'm sure of it, and I'm sure he wouldn't want you to see what he's become..." Zero said dramatically.

"Zero! Tell me where my brother is now!" May yelled as she shook him harder. Zero pointed to the TV and closed his eyes. "Komo... Komo no!" May yelled

as she saw his Genosaurer, she knew what had happned, her brother had told her of a legend of Xenocide and of the three classes, normal, Angel, and Demon.

Komo laughed evily and commented, "You never had a chance, you never had the power to beat me, and now you never will." Komo said as the Genosaurer

sliced the legs of the Konig Wolf off and threw it to the ground. The Konig Wolf whimpered from the pain it must have gone through for that.

"Now... prepare for your final sight... prepare to die." Komo said as he held the Golden Zoid Blok and his hand began to glow in a demonic

aura. The Zoid Blok went completely dark the power of darkness eminating from it was so strong... it pierced Max's very soul.

"What's going on? Why isn't he finishing him off? Answer me!" A young man covered in shadows wearing a black Trigun Vash jacket yelled. "Sir... it seems the

Power of Gale may not be strong enough to destroy them both..." another young man answered. "Oh well, at least the East Wind will die." the first young man

chuckled.

"Power of the Gale! Heed my command!" Komo yelled as he slammed the new Demon Zoid Blok into the Zoid Gear compartment. The Genosaurer

began to pulse with a demonic black light. New armor, weapons, and a pair of demon's wings began to appear, then a flash of evil light covered the volcano...

and dissipated, revealing a fearsome creature, a demonic monster of emmense power. "W... what the hell is that thing...?" Max tried to ask as the command

console was slowly crushing his lungs(the bindings that held it to the Konig Wolf had been destroyed). "The Lord Gale. The Zoid of Darkness. Now, meet your death."

Komo replied while chuckling. The Lord Gale began to move it's arms in a strange motion and finally put them in a Kame Hame Ha(DBZ) stance. A ball of darkness

started to swirl in the Lord Gale's hands. "I can't let this happen... Komo... cough I won't let you continue..." Max said as he started to cough blood and his Konig Wolf lit up.

"I'm afraid you can't even come close to denting me. Now! Demon's Blaze!" Komo yelled as teared welled up in his eyes and the Lord Gale threw it's hands forward,

pushing the ball of darkness at the Konig Wolf. The arena was covered in darkness.

"Komo!" May yells as the volcano starts to rumble and the black light flies from the top of it.

The darkness then was overcome by a violent flash of white light. "Komo! I know you can hear me! Snap out of it!" Max yelled, max had now changed, his

hair was glowing in a white light and his eyes were glowing gold, his pupils were white as well.

"What?! He's released the East wind!" the first young man in the jacket yelled.

The Konig Wolf began to glow and change. "Genus Transformation! Genus Wolf appear!" Max, who was now the East Wind(EW) yelled as the Konig Wolf pulsed with a

holy white light. The light dissipated and a new Zoid appeared, a wolf type with white armor, golden teeth, and angelic silver eyes. "The East Wind has awakened.

Now the demon and the angel will battle." Komo said as he laughed evily. "And as soon as it started it ended! Angel Wings!" EW yelled as the Genus Wolf sprouted the

wings of an angel and flew at the Lord Gale. The Angel Wings went right through the Gale causing no damage. "What?!" Komo yelled as the Demon Zoid Blok was spat from

it's compartment and the Lord Gale transformed into the Genosaurer. "Good... now Komo let's finish this, fair and square!" EW yelled as he charged at Komo.

"Only if you tell me what happened after I beat you!" Komo yelled as the Zoid Blok he held in his hands turned gold again and he charged the Genosaurer at the EW.

"Deal!" EW yelled as they collided.

"Komo's back to normal!" Kiyo yelled as he ran into Zero's room. "I'm aware, just watch the rest of the match." Zero snapped back.

The Genus Wolf threw the Genosaurer to the side and jetted to the other side of the volcano and started back again. The Genosuarer stood up and started to glow in an amazing shade of Mystic Red.

End Music

The Genosaurer caught the Genus Wolf. "What the hell?!" EW yelled as the Genosaurer changed completely.

Music: Reversal/Unknown Band/Naruto(Japanese)

"The Genomaxis. Another powerful version of the Genosaurer. I win." Komo yelled as the Genomaxis threw the Genus Wolf away. "Good, an actual battle is about to begin, Max, you take over again."

EW insisted as he turned to Max again. The Genomaxis charged at the Genus Wolf. Max jerked the control and fired at the head of the Genomaxis. Komo moved the controls slightly to dodge by just

an inch. The volcano then began to shake violently. And the ground began to melt the bottom the the two zoids feet. "Oh shit! This is bad!" Komo and Max yelled together. "Komo. Your Genomaxis

has boosters right?" Max asked. "Yea, as I said before, it's an upgraded..." Komo started. "Ok, get outta here, I'll be fine." Max interrupted. "Hey, I'm not going alone. You still have to tell me what happened,

I lost my memory of some of the battle. So here's what I'll do." Komo said as the Genomaxis grabbed the tail of the Genus Wolf and started to spin. "Not only will this win me the battle, but this will save you."

Komo chuckled happily as the Genomaxis threw the Genus Wolf and made it slam into the ground about 5 miles away, giving it a Command System Freeze.

"Dammit!" Max yelled as Komo started his boosters and flew out of the volcano. "Now... the lava will probably make it to the city... so... I'll make a mote." Komo said as he charged his CPG.

Komo then fired it and formed a mote to make the lava stop.
