Chapter 1

He stared at his new weapon. That's all it was, a weapon. A weapon used to win money. A weapon used to make a living. A weapon named Lord Gale.

His father was the head pilot of the team, and his uncle was the engineer. His mother passed away in a train accident, just a week before. In her will, she left him 2 Zoids, and 500,000$...cash.

He learned that Zoids are now able to fuse, but he only tried it once. His Unenlagia went perfect on Lord Gale. But it was back mounted. The only way to use it would be to fl straight towards the enemy. Fly. The word rung in his head.

He left the garage, turning off the lights and closing the door behind him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

He awoke with a thud, hearing the knocking at his door. Booming through his head, like lightning cracking a tree.

"Hurry up Rich, we got a battle tomorrow, and today we have to train. You definitely don't want to be late for that!" yelled out the voice. It was a teammate, but he wasn't sure which one. He couldn't know. Not when he was this tired.

"Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. Your uncle wants to talk to you."

He now knew who it was. It was Sandra. They called her Sandy. Not only because she was as beautiful as a sun setting beach, void of any disturbances. But, like a beach, Sandy and water went perfect together.

On the 500m swim, she got the record of 5min. The fastest time ever. At the age of 13, she was able to pilot a Whaleking by herself. She now pilots a Barigator. A truly spectacular person indeed.

"Fine," Richard finally said, "just let me get dressed."

He got up from his lazy slumber and picked up his clothes. He wore the same thing every day; a loose t-shirt with the initials "RC" printed on the upper-left chest area, with the team insignia behind it, as well as a pair of faded blue jeans.

He slowly walked towards the garage, just wanting to stall time. But when he opened the door, his expression changed dramatically. He was suddenly stunned. Lost in his own world. Him and the wreck that was in front of him. The wreck that was, the Lord Gale.

"It happened last night..." started his uncle before Richard cut him off.

"What happened here?" yelled Richard, believing it to be all his fault. His voice boomed in such a loud voice, he even startled himself.

"I'm trying to tell you, it was a mysterious Zoid, it got past our scanners and wrecked it."

The room went silent. The dead could've been heard.
