Tawanos: OH GODS!!! It's been so long since I last updated all my readers
have probably forgotten that I exist. Well no change there, sometimes I
hardly remember who I am (usually for a minute or two after I wake up in
the morning.) I haven't gone on strike from my writing, just that my
school has been beyond hectic with tests, essays, and other reports, both
in and out of school. Please forgive me, I will try to get back on my old
schedule of updating twice a week, but it may take some time before I'm
fully back into the swing of things.
Right now the tests and reports are loading up even higher than before, but I now have free time after school so that will be when I write. No more talking now, it's time for the story.
Disclaimer: I can hardly afford lunch at school, let alone try to buy Zoids.
Chapter 20: Another Battle Plan
Later, in the Hover Cargo after they had loaded all their zoids, everyone met in the meeting room. Doc said that he had gotten a message from the ZBC and everyone needed an update. When they had gathered Doc put an image on the main screen.
"Is that what I think it is?" Jamie asked. It was a battle notice, the ZBC had given them a battle, and even now as they were going on a mission the ZBC had given them a battle.
"When is it?" Brad asked while taking a sip from his cup of coffee.
"Two days." Doc said bracing himself, the room exploded.
"WHAT??" Leena screamed
"It's going to take us two days just to get to the Heliac Mountains. How the Hell are we supposed to get back in time for a battle?" Pierce asked as Bit tried to calm Leena.
"I think Bit's grandfather had something to do with this." Doc said picking himself up.
"How so?" Bit asked as he restrained Leena from attacking her father.
"The battle is set to take place on the open plain at the base of Mt. Heliac in two days. That means that out battle is where we are supposed to be going. Quite a coincidence isn't it?" Leena settled down.
"Granddad said he wanted to keep the fact that we exist a secret, until he can announce us to the world. So right now our cover for going to the Heliac Mountains is that we have a battle. I would expect him to do this again when he wants to keep our missions secret." Bit said as Leena settled against him on the couch.
"So who are we up against?" Katie asked.
"I'm so glad you asked." Doc said as he pressed a button and the screen changed to show a bunch of zoids none of them had ever seen before.
"They look kind of like Iron Kongs." Jamie commented. And he was right they were like Iron Kongs in the basic body design, but these were gray green and even larger. It was obvious that the increased size was because of added armor and enormous energy guns on each shoulder and back. There were also spikes that gleamed all over the rest of the body.
"Close, these are Steel Spike Kongs, they are unique to this team, the Steel team, and they have a total of three zoids. The SSK are custom made zoids for this team and have made it impossible for anyone to copy the designs, or find out anything more than what is right here."
"So what do we know about them?" Pierce asked.
"I'm so glad you asked." Doc beamed at her. "They have extremely heavy armor, heavier even than that of the original Panzer, but they are also very strong so they can move about in the armor. They are rather slow moving, but their guns can shoot rapidly and are very accurate even at long range. So we can bet that they will fight a long distance offensive, and if you get close in they will switch to defensive. The combination makes having a close range win against them almost impossible, we are going to need heavy long range weaponry this time."
"I've got an idea." Everyone stared at Jamie.
"Already?" Bit was surprised, Jamie was a good strategist, but it usually took him all night to come up with a good strategy and he never told you unless it was really good.
"Yea, it's a bit risky though."
"Your point is?" Leena asked. "Risky is what we do."
"Point. Anyway, my plan in short is two medium guns on fast zoids, and one stationary zoid with tons of fire power."
"He's talking about you, dear." Bit whispered in Leena's ear, and she squealed in delight at the prospect of going into battle.
"That sounds nice, but we all know that it would still take forever to punch through that armor, even for Leena." Brad said ruining Leena's happy moment.
"Panzer." Jamie said simply. "If Panzer merges with Leena's Gun Sniper then she should have the power to blast through the armor." He turned to Bit. "Will you see if Panzer..." But he didn't finish because Bit's eyes had lost focus, which meant only one thing, he was talking with Liger through their mental link.
"Panzer would love to battle." Bit said a second after his eyes regained focus. "I just want to know who the other two zoids are going to be?"
"I was thinking Brad and Katie. The Shadow Fox's Vulcan gun and the Siax's Pulse rifle are the perfect weapons for this battle. They will distract the SSKs, and not give them a chance to move, while Leena bombards them from afar."
"Great plan as usual Jamie." Doc said, then he stifled a yawn, it had gotten late while they we planning. "Time for bed everyone. I'll put the Hover Cargo on autopilot so we can all get a good nights sleep." With that everyone headed to his or her room for some rest.
"I wonder what will happen at Mt. Heliac." Bit said as he climbed into bed. "Only time will tell."

Tawanos: sorry it's so short. The next one will have Panzer enter the battle for the first time and it will be sooooooo cool. (Hint: think of the ship Nirvana's main weapon in the series Vandread.)
