Welcome to round one of the ZOIDS competitions! The first round will be between team one: Brad Hunter and Naomi Fluegal and team two: Harry Champ and Katie Herman!

READY? FIGHT!

Naomi was safely perched in a densely wooded area with perfect views of the opposing team. The strategy was simple. Naomi would use her long range capabilities and precision aim to take down Harry's Iron Kong. Brad would use his tactical skills to his advantage to take down Katie's Zaber Fang.

She could hear the clash of metal as Brad and Katie fought it out. She had confidence in Brad's ability and trusted that he would be victorious in his skirmish. Meanwhile, Naomi had locked onto Harry's zoid. She could just imagine the look on his face when he realized tat he had been shot down. She knew that he was a cocky pilot, thinking that no bullet could pierce the armor of his iron Kong. He was wrong. With a squeeze of the trigger he was down. She didn't have to wait long until Brad disemboweled Katie's prized Zaber. The battle was over. It had been an amazingly easy battle. She just hoped that it became more interesting and soon. She didn't like being bored with her weak opponents. She needed a challenge to keep her satisfied.

Next Battle:

Welcome to the second match of round one! This time it will be team three: Bit Cloud and Leena Toros and team four: Leon Toros and Chris Tasker!

READY?! FIGHT!

Chris knew that this battle would be unlike any other that she had ever fought. After all, she didn't have her sister fighting by her side. But she did have Leon. Leon was an accomplished pilot in his on right. The pair could easily destroy Leena and her sniper. Bit was another Story. Maybe, just maybe, they could win. Nut it would take a lot of luck. And today she was feeling anything but lucky.

Leon had already knocked down Leenas combat system. Now bit was the only one left. She watched in awe as the two of the lunged to attack one another. Bit had equipped the Schneider unit. She cringed when she heard the blades of the two ligers clashing together. She couldn't help but stand idle as the two fought valiantly. But she quickly kicked herself into high gear when Bit pinned Leon helplessly to the ground. She urged her Saix forward and head butted the Liger, sending it tumbling over onto its side. Chris quickly shot a barrage of bullets at its exposed belly, quickly winning the match.

Next Match: (A/N: yes, I know. Short battles. I'm just in a rush to finish his fic before I'm swamped with work! I'm giving myself two weeks. Flame me if you want. I don't care!)

Welcome to round one, match three. Its team five: Mary Champ and Ray Shobalts and team six: Van Hunter and Christy Shobalts!

READY?! FIGHT!

Ray quickly headed towards the forest. He needed to maximize he element of surprise even though he could easily do without it. After all, he was piloting his precious hellcat. It was specially equipped for closer to medium range combat considering that Mary's iron Kong was made for medium to long range combat.

He crept to the edge of the forest and waited for one of the opposing zooids to pass by so he could give chase. He didn't have to wait long. He soon saw Vans command wolf run past. He chased him down and took him out. As he began to turn around, Christy's storm sworder swooped directly overhead, tossing his hellcat to the air. When it land, Christy swooped low for a second run. But she missed. Ray had anticipated her moves and dodged to the side. He then recoiled and took her down with a swift attack to her back. He had just won the battle. He only had two more battles to go until he won the championship and Naomi back.

Next match:

Final match of round one! Its gonna be team seven: Steven Fluegal and Lillian Cloud and team eight: Jack Sisqo and Kelly Tasker!

READY?! FIGHT!

Lily could feel the adrenaline pulsing through her body. She absolutely loved zoid battles. She lived for the. She and her storm sworder worked in perfect harmony. Though at the moment, she didn't bother talking to the air. She would do so when it was time. She was torn from her thoughts when she saw the two lightning Saix heading quickly in her direction. She quickly came up with a strategy for taking them down. Al, she had to do was get on top of them. Then with a simple claw she would cut through their wires that controlled their battle systems. She radioed Steven her ideas, and he was eager to comply. When the saix' were in range, Steven made his move. He leaped over Kelly and cut through the circuits. She was out. She fell to the ground and Jacks zoid tripped over the toppled zooids. Lily seized the opportunity and took out his command system.
