Summary: Lena's been having some weird dreams lately. So, it's up to her friends and some new technology to help her find the man of her dreams. The thing is, time of the essence and their biggest problem. Warning-not a B/L fic.

Chapter 6: Waterfall Colony and...Harry?
Izzy's Gustav trudged along, following the Red River.
Lena: "Says here that Waterfall Colony is only about ten miles away." Lena glanced at the map in front of her. "We should be able to see it by now. Well, I don't."
Izzy: "It's just off to the left there."
L: "Huh? Where?"
Iz: "See that long dark shadow?"
L: "Yeah."
Iz: "Well that's the canyon."
L: "Yeah, right. That's a cloud shadow, not a huge canyon."
Iz: "Just wait till we get a little closer."
About fifteen minutes later Lena's mouth was gaping open. "Wow! It's massive."
Iz: "I told you."
L: "To tell you the truth, I remember this being a lot bigger."
Iz: "Well, you were younger then, duh!"
L: "Hold on. Stop the Gustav. What is that?"
Iz: "What?"
L: "Over there, on the other side of the valley. I can just vaguely make out something, but I don't know what."
Iz: "Let me get a fix on it." Izzy twiddled some dials at his side and then pushed a button. The front of the cockpit view-screen came on, showing an interesting scene. On the left side of the screen there were two Iron Kongs and a Dark Horn. On the right was a new version of a Juggernaut (a blue rhino zoid with heavy armor plates and ion cannons) and next to it stood what looked like a revamped old Mustang (an aqua equine zoid built for speed with long-range rifles) except it had a pair of ion blades on it's back and some kind of horn sticking out of it's head. About a hundred feet behind, barely discernable, sat a sand-colored Desert Storm (a cargo camel zoid), its catapult readying to launch.
They all just stood there, stock-still.
A boy of about fifteen sat in the control room of the Desert Storm operating the electromagnetic catapult. His long white hair was pulled back in a thick braid (Imagine Duo from Gundam Wing with white hair.). His vibrant purple vest gaped, exposing his thin chest and the top of his purple boxers peeking over his green fatigues. He scraped his bushy bangs back from his brown eyes to better see what he was doing. The knapsack on his back wiggled every time the dog tags around his neck jangled.
Kelso: "All team members vacate the docking bay. I repeat, all team members vacate the docking bay."
His chocolate brown eyes looked bored as he flipped switches and turned his freckled face to the screen as Maria's annoyed one came on. "I'm the only one left to deploy doofus. Besides, you're the only one who's not in the fight."
Kelso smiled cheekily. "So, what? It's fun."
(Ma - ,/,) "Ugh!" Maria rolled her eyes. "Just launch the catapult."
K: "Roger." He flipped some switches in front of him and carefully raised the energy levels as he watched the gauges.
K: "Catapult ready."
Ma: "Thrusters on standby."
K: "Royal Saix is go."
Maria sat calmly as her vibrant purple Saix was forcefully propelled into the sky. As the front legs touched the ground she kicked in the after- burners.
Ma: "Yee-ha."
Leigh: "Alright, show-off."
Maria turned a tight hairpin and plowed strait towards her fellow teammates. They both just sat in their zoids, glaring at her, knowing exactly what she was going to do. With ten feet to spare, she sprang over their heads, threw her zoid forward in a perfect flip, and landed lightly on the ground.
Augusta: "Come on, Eval Kineval."
Ma: "Who?"
'BOOM'
The judge capsule lifted out of the ground and opened. "Area scanned. Everything within a fifteen-mile radius is a designated battlefield. Battle code 0982, the Champ team versus the AzuleRyu team. Ready...fight!"
Harry champ looked worriedly out of his zoid.
Harry: "Sebastian, Benjamin, we have to win this one. We finally made it to class A. Let's show 'em who's boss."
Sebastian: "Okay, Harry."
Benjamin: "I think we can handle them, Harry. Look at that Mustang. It's got to be an antique."
Judge: "...fight!"
Lena avidly watched the view screen as Izzy got within fifteen miles of the fight. The Dark Horn immediately began firing at the other team.
Augusta: "Maria, circle around behind."
Lena jumped at the sound. "What the...?"
Izzy: "I tapped into their communication system."
L: "Oh. I wonder who's fighting. I know that voice."
Leigh: "Maria...Augusta. You two take the Iron Kong on the far left. I'll get the one on the right."
Maria: "You sure?"
Le: "Positive."
Harry: "Sebastian, watch out. That Saix is circling behind you."
Lena and Izzy's jaws dropped at the sound of Harry's voice. (LIz – II [eyes big as saucers face])
L: "Harry?"
Iz: "When did that idiot make class A?"
Lena watched as the purple Saix circled around to the back of the Iron Kong and the blue-green Mustang-like zoid charged the front, its horn lowered, both firing blast after blast. Sebastian fired in vain, trying to bring down his opponents. The Iron Kong fell face first as its powerful arms were shot out from underneath it.
Benjamin didn't even get a chance to shoot. After Leigh had told Augusta and Maria to take the other Iron Kong she carefully aimed at her target, determined to make the shot perfect.
Le: "Horn Buster!"
An single massive missile shot from the Juggernaut's dorsal cannons with such force it shoved the rhinoceros back a good twenty yards. It shot strait through Benjamin's zoid and exploded not thirty feet behind. All that was left was a nice; neat hole about four feet wide in the abdomen of the now completely useless zoid.
Saix, Unicon (The Mustang-like zoid), and Juggernaut shot simultaneously at the dark horn as it continued its barrage. They barely left dents in Harry's zoid.
A: "Damn, his armor's too thick."
Ma: "Now what?"
Kelso came up on all their view screens. "I downloaded the schematics on a Dark Horn. The only way you're going to be able to defeat him is to attack from below."
Ma: "Below?"
(Le - ,,, [I got an idea]) Le: "...from below. Guys this is the perfect chance to try out our new move."
A: "Leigh, you're up first. You can withstand most of his blows."
Le: "10-4." She backed up a few steps and took off at a trot, slowly picking up speed.
Ma: "You're gonna have to go faster or you're not going to make it."
Le: "What do you want me to do? The Juggernaut's not built for speed."
A: "Maria, we need a distraction. We'll never make it with that Dark Horn facing us."
Harry fired insanely, not exactly sure what he was doing.
Harry: "I gotta win, so I can show Lena that I'm not a loser. I just can't let her down."
Lena looked at Izzy. Lena: "I still can't believe he thinks he can win."
On the screen the Saix ran circles around the Dark Horn, drawing its fire. She easily dodged the barrage of bullets. Meanwhile, the Juggernaut was moving as fast as its bulky arsenal would allow. Seeing this, the Unicon took off, following the Juggernaut's path. As the rhino-zoid closed in on the Dark Horn's side it lowered its head and jammed its horn underneath Harry and lifted its head, carrying the triceratops a good hundred meters in the air.
Leigh: "Ups-a-daisy."
Only a little behind Leigh, Augusta's Unicon galloped up. It swung around in a sliding 180 and slammed the front foot locks down. With all the momentum built up, the Mustang's head went down and the hindquarters went up. Just as the Dark Horn was coming back down the Mustang's back legs shot out, sending the Dark Horn on another short flight.
Augusta: "Alley-oop."
Maria powered up the Saix's ion claws and ran strait for the rapidly falling dark Horn.
Maria: "Strike Lazer Claw."
The Saix rammed its claws into the belly of the Dark Horn and Harry's screen read 'System Freeze' as his zoid fell belly-up.
Ma: "Game over."
Harry: "Nooooooo!"
Lena: "Ack!" She jumped in her seat and batted at the multitude of controls in front of her. "Turn it down, turn it down!"
Izzy winced at Harry's whining wail as he twisted a knob to the left of Lena's flailing hands.
Iz: "God. What a wuss."
L: "I know. I wonder who he had to pay off to make it to class A."
The radio crackled slightly.
H: "Can someone help me?"
Sorry, I'm not really good at writing battles. There might be a few more so bear with me.
