Chapter Three: Something landed on Liger's nose. It looked like a kid.
"Everyone step aside! Karina Fareme coming through! Yes! The one and only! She owns this whole place!"
Karina sighed. Joe was having a bit too much fun with the microphone.
"Maybe I should take it now..."
"Awww. Please?"
Kari gave him the ultimate serious look.
"O-okay."
Liger Zero and Blade Liger entered the arena and took their places.
"So," the blonde-haired boy said. "I'm guessing you're Karina Fareme. I'm Lloyd Skyelark, though you don't need to remember. So," the Blade Liger crouched, ready to spring. "Are you ready?"
Liger Zero followed in suit. "Of course I am," Karina replied. Liger roared impatiently and pawed the ground.
The computerized voice came to life, "Ready, Set, FIGHT!"
Liger Zero and Blade Liger leapt at each other simultaneously. They collided into each other with a screech.
"Gun 'im!" Joe cried.
"What?"
"This one," he pointed to a certain button. "The ones under the chest!"
Kari followed his instructions and the Blade Liger jumped back after getting shot at almost point blank.
Lloyd gritted his teeth. He was never the one to receive the first blow. Ever. He sent Blade Liger into a headlong lunge into Liger Zero.
Again, metal grinded against metal.
"What do I do now?!" Kari asked Joe.
"I don't know!" he replied. "You're the pilot!"
"Only because I have my license doesn't mean I'm experienced!"
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
Blade Liger sent all its weight to the right, sending Liger sprawling. Then it leapt, its golden fangs bared so it could do serious damage.
Suddenly a shot came from Liger's tail, hitting – and cracking – the orange Plexiglas at the head. Lloyd cried out as Blade Liger tumbled onto Liger Zero.
Liger roared and sank its own golden teeth into one of the blades on the side of Blade Liger's face.
The red Zoid roared and whipped its tail at Liger. He let go, and both Zoids scrambled up.
"That was great!" Joe exclaimed. "You don't suck."
"I said I was inexperienced, not that I suck!"
"Same difference."
The red Blade Liger sent a flurry of shots at Liger Zero. Kari tried to dodge them, but several still got him.
"Kari the left hind leg's got severe damage!"
"Shut up! I don't need a backseat driver!"
Okay, Lloyd thought angrily. No more games.
Blade Liger extended its blades. They glowed orange as they powered up.
"Oh no. Lloyd's extended Blade Liger's blades!"
"Tell me something I don't know," growled Karina.
"There's so much power in those blades that if they even graze you, Liger'll short-circuit."
"What?!"
Blade Liger dove into a run. Karina was officially screwed.
She sent Liger diving into Blade Liger, hoping she'd be able to jump over the Zoid. But with the damage on Liger's hind leg, she was having her doubts. Already it was hindering him.
The two Zoids got continuously closer. Right before Kari was going to jump, something landed on Liger's nose. It looked like a kid.
Karina screamed and slammed on the breaks.
Lloyd wasn't expecting her to stop like that and slammed right into her, one of his blades resting on the ground, the electricity harmlessly entering the ground. That drained the whole battery, making it shut down.
Lloyd yelled as the lights went off.
All was quiet in Liger Zero's cockpit until Joe moaned.
"Man, what made you stop like that? He asked.
Karina shook her head. "There was... there was a kid on Liger's nose."
Joe stood up. "A kid?"
"Yeah, a kid! I swear, I saw it!"
"Of course," Joe said skeptically.
Kari made a face and rested her head on the headrest.
