Chapter 2
June 7th ZAC-2101
Leos Klein is a former member of the Guylos Empire's Molga corps and was one of the most skilled pilots and of the highest rank, after newer Zoids were developed he decided to leave and sell his skills as a mercenary. He was currently guarding a Republican outpost. With nothing to do he sat down and turned on the TV.
''In latest news the Empires newest Zoid has been unveiled in an attack, the latest model in the liger line, developed by scientists in the north, has the ability to adapt to battle situations and today was witnessed attacking a republic patrol which included the only current service model of the Command Wolf Urban Combat, dubbed Juggernaut, and was so badly damaged it had to be abandoned, but strangely, when they came to salvage it the wreckage had disappeared.'' Leos poured himself some coffee, about to watch the other headlines when the alarm went off.
He let out a large sigh ''ah, well no rest for the wicked.'' Tearing down the corridor he went outside to where his Scythe Molga was waiting. Activating his radar he saw that the empire had sent a force of nine Rev Raptors to conduct an attack on the outpost. ''Hm, now these are odds I like!'' After leaving the Empire Leos had heavily modified his Molga, adding more weaponry all over it and giving it some much needed melee weapons in the form of scythes on the tail, which is where its name was derived from.
The instant they came within range he began laying down submission fire on the centre of the group with the 12mm machine guns and 90mm assault guns meaning they were pinned down while e picked them off with the dual 88mm guns. His hail of bullets ceased, that was over half of the unit lying in scrap already. One of the Raptors had snuck round behind him to try and take him by surprise thinking it would be lightly armoured at the rear, he was wrong, as he charged Leos switched to the rear targeting camera and aimed the third 99mm assault gun. One pull of the trigger later the point-blank shot had shattered its head.
Almost instinctively he hit the button to open the abdomen canopy, and just as he did another approached from the side. Once again the camera was switched, and swinging the guns round he shot the Raptors legs out from under it. He did a quick count of the wrecks ''1.... 2.... 3............only eight'' he scoured the battlefield and spotted the final one, standing in the distance observing the battle, evidently the leader of the attacks Zoid because it was the only one equipped with a Pilebunker unit. He knew the odds, there was every chance that the spear would get him before he got anywhere near, but as we already know, Leos was the kind of person who liked these odds.
He urged his Molga forward, activating the boosters and reaching top speed.
The raptor was ready, preparing its spear.
Leos was getting closer every second.
The raptor began running forwards, first steadily, then at breakneck pace.
They met; just dodging the spear Leos hit the brakes, activating the skid steering he installed along with the new wheels. The tail was whipped round in a scythe-like motion.
The raptor stumbled; attempting to strike again it slumped to the ground, both feet severed at the ankle.
