Tawanos: Sorry there was no action in the last chapter but it just didn't
feel right putting them together in one chapter. I thought about splitting
this one but then I would probably get mugged in the reviews. I have been
asked to get pierce in gear and don't worry she will. I just don't feel in
the mood for an interview tonight, so imagine one though next time I think
I will interview Doc or one of the new members we'll see.
Disclaimer: Every week I save fie dollars for something in the future. By my figuring by the year 2350 I might have enough to buy Zoids.
Chapter 13: Tryouts Part 2
David and his Command Wolf stepped up to the start line, when Doc said go the Command Wolf sped off into the course easily dodging in-between the obstacles. On the firing range he hit the first two targets with glancing shots, no real damage, and missed the third completely. Then immediately the automated guns started to shoot at the blue zoid, he dodged and made his way to the finish line but half way there he was felled by a shot to the side of his zoid.
"David Lucas is disqualified. Next Metenor Ferrian and Rev Raptor." Doc said after the fallen zoid was dragged off the field. The red zoid did no better than the blue except that it hit all the targets but was shot down part of the way to the finish line.
"Katie Skyler and Lightning Siax." When Doc said "go" she didn't rush off around the obstacles, but rather jumped up and onto them bouncing from one to the other on her way to the firing range. When she touched down in front of the targets she didn't stop, not even to take aim but the targets were each hit dead on in three shots from her back mounted cannon. By the time the automated guns began to fire she was already half way to the finish line. She made it across with minor damage. A shot had hit the back leg of her zoid just before she crossed the finish. Bit approached her as she inspected the damage from the shot.
"Very good, but you got careless at the end." She continued to look at the damage.
"The person who designed that course had specific goals for the pilot and zoid. Who was it who designed this course?" She finished and turned to Bit for the first time. "Wait, you're Bit Cloud. I've always wanted to meet you." She walked over and they shook hands. "You're not exactly what I expected, from what I've heard you are loud, impetuous, annoying, headstrong, cocky."
"You forgot daring, handsome, and a thief." Said Leena coming up behind him. She put her arm Bit and pulled him close. "And my boyfriend."
"Well you must be Leena, but from what heard you two are constantly at each others throats." Katie said as she and Leena shook hands.
"A few days after the Royal Cup we hooked up. You asked who designed the course. Well you are looking at him. This is Bit and Liger's personal training ground. He built it a few weeks ago and has been training on it every day. Personally I didn't expect anyone to do anywhere near as well as you did just now."
"It wasn't that hard."
"That's because it was on level two of ten. I work on level eight daily, and level ten for a hard workout." Bit said, his ego getting the better of him. "That means double the targets moving, under continuous fire from all fifty gun, with a time limit." Katie's eyes threatened to pop out of her head.
"I just want you to know that Brad once tried it on level five, lets just say that he didn't finish." Leena said cringing at the memory. As they were talking Bit had led them away from the course and up onto a nearby hill to watch as more people tried the course. As they watched a second Command Wolf tried what Katie did to increase time by jumping on the obstacles but on the third jump they misjudged the distance and collided with the bolder with a loud crunch. They watched as the rest of the land- based participants tried their hand at the course, three others managed to cross the line a Shield Liger, a Helldi Gunner, and a Gun Sniper. However each of them was slower than Katie and missed at least one target. Finally there were only two zoids left Peter Grier with a Reinos and Pierce with her Storm Sworder.
"For you airborne pilots you will go one on one with our very own Jamie and his Reinos." Jamie stepped forward as Doc said this. (A/N: I feel compelled to remind the readers that Jamie is in no way imposing or threatening in appearance, he is short, quiet and shy.) Someone laughed, the man standing by a light blue Reinos.
"You mean that I have to fight him?" Peter Grier laughed again. "Where is the challenge in that? I doubt that he can go faster than mock one without passing out." Bit smiled and stepped forward.
"You know what? You're right, he dose pass out at mock one, but it's what happens after that that gets interesting." Peter looked confused. "You'll see. Jamie, show this man how it's done." Smiling, Jamie went over to his green Reinos, a second later it took off. "Incidentally, Peter, you are up first."
As soon as Peter was in the air and above 100 yards the fight began. Peter began by firing off all his missiles hoping to takeout Jamie early on, but Jamie spun right and they missed. Jamie returned fire with his chest mounted guns but Peter dogged the shots easily. As they fought they gained altitude until they were each the size of a penny to the viewers on the ground. Suddenly the green Reinos was hit and falling. Bit turned on the COM between two flying zoids so everyone could hear. Just before the green Reinos collided with the ground the zoid screamed, the boosters flared into life and the Reinos preformed an impossibly tight u-turn mere feet from the ground heading straight up into the sky. Laughter from a voice that was neither Peter's or Jamie's filled the air from the radio.
"The Wild Eagle is immortal." The new voice said as the green Reinos blasted by Peter hitting him with a mock three sonic boom. The blue zoid tumbled through the air unable to right its self. As soon as Peter was steadied the Wild Eagle flew under him upside down, and at point blank range, using the chest cannon, blasted the stomach of the blue Reinos, freezing the command system. As the blue zoid tumbled through the air a voice said over the radio, "Right. Next."
Bit turned to Pierce. "Your turn, and don't hold back, you might stand a chance, he's gotten a whole lot better since you last fought him." Pierce found herself staring at the green Reinos flying in circles above the crowd waiting for his next challenge. She smiled before running over to her Storm Sworder and jumping in. The gray zoid opened its wings and burst into the air towards Jamie.
What followed was the fastest, most furious air battle anyone had seen, ever. The two zoids rocketed around each other occasionally firing a shot that never connected.
"Well little lady, you have improved, but its not enough." The Wild Eagle made his zoid go even faster, much faster than it was made to go. Mock 4. Mock 5. It was only a matter of time before the Rainos fell apart in mid air, but he would be sure to take out the Storm Sworder first.
Pierce could no longer see where her opponent was he was just too fast. Before she knew it she had been shot on the undersides of both wings and in the middle of her back. Both zoids fell to earth, the Storm Sworder because it's command system was frozen, the Reinos because the Wild Eagle had pushed it to far and he knew that it would not last much longer. Pierce ejected from the zoid before it hit the ground, she drifted down lazily while hanging from a parachute. The Wild Eagle managed to land, but only just, a few seconds after he did the zoid collapsed. It was not the Wild Eagle that climbed out of the fallen zoid but Jamie.
"Oh no. My poor Reinos, I'll fix you I promise." Joseph pulled up in his Gustav he helped Jamie load the zoid onto the trailer and returned it to the zoid hanger where it could be repaired. Then he returned to find Pierce leaning up against her zoid waiting for him, they loaded her zoid and also took it back to the hanger where the rest of the team was waiting along with the spectators. Doc was once again standing on the roof with the megaphone.
"OK listen up everyone. The Blitz Team has reached unanimous decisions as to the new members of the team. Pierce and her Storm Sworder, and Katie Skyler and her Lightning Siax. Welcome to the Blitz Team. Thanks to the rest of you for showing up and participating, we hope to see you in future battles."
A crowd gathered around Pierce and Katie congratulating them on becoming members of the Blitz team. After a little while only the Blitz team, Pierce, Katie, Leon and Naomi were left. Everyone went inside for a well-deserved meal. After they were finished eating Bit spoke up.
"Doc sent off your registration and you two will be official members of the Blitz team by morning, but I think it is time for you to meet the other, not so public, members of the team. Do the rest of you guys agree?" The rest of the team nodded. "OK then follow me." Bit stood up and headed for the zoid hanger, everyone followed. When they entered the hanger it appeared empty except for the zoids. "Come out you four, its time for you to meet our new team members."
From behind a pile of crates Schneider stepped out into the light. Jager jumped down from on top of Liger. Panzer came out from behind Liger's leg. Finally Rain just walked towards them from the far side of the hanger.
"I've heard rumors about organoids reappearing, but I never expected to actually see some." Leon said in awe. "Where did they come from?" Bit explained about Liger's history and his recent trip, everything up to when they saved Rain from Mary. Everyone listed to him except for two. Naomi and Rain stared directly at one another something was forming between them.

Tawanos: Can't think of anything to say other than. I WILL NEVER LET YOU HAVE MY LUCKY CHARMS!!! NEVER, NEVER I SAY!!! Ok that's it nothing else.
Next time: the new members start to get to know about the team they have just joined. And WHAT??? One of the organoids is leaving??? Find out why next time in Chapter 14: Partners and Teammates.
