= zoid talking " "=human talking * *= thinking

DragonMaster 3000: Well I must say that this is going to be a long story and will most likely have 2 parts because of it's length...I personally have always wondered how a wild zoid would react if it was thrust into a world ruled by humans and technology....

DragonMaster 3000: Right! I totaly stink at summarys and I hope that if your reading this then......PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing annoys me more then people who read your storys but don't review it until it's almost over...and it annoys me because I tend to do it, but i'm working on it....PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Chapter Two: Hidden Secrets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Before my Strike Laser Claw could connect with the Konig Wolf I was blasted from the side. I was knocked over and skidded back a couple of feet. I shook my head and stood up to face who ever had attacked me. I growled when I saw that it was an Aerosaurer. "I take my eyes of of you for one minute and this is what happens?" a voice said from the Aerosaurer. I took the oppertunity to blast it with the Dual Shot Cannon on my belly, it dodged the shot just in time and a tree behind it exploded in a rain of wood and leaves. It hissed and charged at me dodging in between the trees to avoid my fire. *Well two can play that game* I thought unleashing the blades on my sides. I turned tail and ran slicing down trees along the way.

"What the....WHOA!!" I heard crash from behind my and I turned around and saw the Aerosaurer trapped beneath 2 trees. I retracted my blades and began charging the Hybrid Cannons on my back. But before I could fire I heard a loud and familier roar coming from the direction of the Whale King. I paused for a moment waiting to see if it would come again, it did, that's when I realized that it was a cry for help, and it was coming from Diablo. Without so much as a glance I took off towards the Whale King.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Diablo watched carefully as Nirvana bounded off into the forest to prepare her attack. I turned back to the Whale King and used my drills to open up a hole in the side of it. It created a lot of noise but thankfully it was masked by the sound of explosions in the forsest. *Keep it up Nirvana i'm almost there* I thought as I finally made it through the Whale Kings armor. I retracted my drills and carefully stepped inside, after looking around carefully I spotted 4 Lightning Saix. I quietly made my way over there trying my best to avoid the humans along the way. I stopped dead in my tracks when a human came around the corner.

"Hmmmm, I guess it was just my imagination....." he said staring at me suspiciously, while I stood perfectly still. I stood still trying to keep my cool, I didn't have that much time left before Nirvana's distraction ended. "Hey!Eddie! We need help rounding up zoids, get your Gun Sniper and move it!" came a voice from the speakers. He walked away but looked back at me one last time before leaving. I sighed in relief when his Gun Sniper walked down the ramp leading outside.

I quickly walked over to the Lightning Saix and looked for a way to get rid of the electrical chains wrapped around them. /What are you doing?/ one of the Lightning Saix purred softly. /I'm here to get you out of here, I don't now what these humans plan to do with us, and I really don't want to find out either/ I growled stepping on a small control panel. It sparked wildly and I could here the hum of electricity stop as it shut down. I grabbed the chains with my teeth and broke them off. After freeing all of the Lightning Saix I heard several alarms go off,

/The've found out about us! Get as far away from here as you can! Warn all of the other zoids on this island! Tell them that their all in danger!/ I roared to them. They nodded and ran down the ramp and out of sight. I prepared myself for battle as several Rav Raptors came charging up the ramp. One of them jumped up in the air while 2 others spilt up and charged me from the sides. The last one ran around to attack me from the back. *If they think they can get me that easily then their even dumber then I thought* I thought calculating when exactly I should make my move.

Just as they were about to hit me I used my boosters to blast forward and out of harms way. I skidded to a stop and looked back just in time to see them all run into each other. I shook my head and shot at them until I was sure they wouldn't be moving for a while. Then I ran down the ramp... and into 15 Dark Horns. I skidded to a stop just as an electromagnetic net came down on top of me. I roared out in pain as I felt over a million volts course through my body. The more I struggled to get it off the more it shocked me. *I'm not giving up yet!* I thought leting out an earshattering roar for help.

One of the Dark Horns rammed me from behind, I roared again for help as I fell to the ground and they began firing at me. When they finally stopped I struggled once again to get to my feet, I grabbed the net in my mouth, ignoring the electrical shocks, and through it off to the side. /Your not getting rid of my that easily!!/ I roared outraged. I plowed into the Dark Horn on my left ripping it's leg off and tearing the gattling gun off of it's back as well. I sank my teeth into it's neck and threw it into another Dark Horn that was firing at me. *2 down....none to go* I thought as my foot locks came down and the drills on my back opened up.

"What kind of monster is that?" one guy said backing up, "Why hasn't it's mainframe overloaded and shut down yet?! There's no way in the world that a zoid should be able to withstand that sort of electrical shock!" another said. /This is where it ends!!!/ I growled firing all 3 of my Charged- Particle-Beams at them. They blasted past the Dark Horns melting the sides and backs of them effectivly disabling them. *That will take a while for them to fix* I thought as Nirvana came plowing through the forest towards me. /We've got company Diablo! Lot's and lot's of company!!/ Nirvana hissed as several Storm Sworders came flying through the air drooping bombs on us.

I followed Nirvana's gaze and saw that around 30 zoids had surrounded us, most of them being Gun Snipers or Zaber Fangs. /You think they want to capture us?/ I growled, as me and Nirvana went back to back preparing to fight one again. /No, really? I hadn't noticed that yet!/ she replied the 5 blades on her head flipping forward. *Hurry up Razorback.....we're counting on you* I thought charging towards a pair of Zaber Fangs.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

As Gaven finally got his Konig Wolf to stand up, he couldn't help but think about the zoid that he had been fighting just minutes earlier. *It only hit me 2 times.....but even those 2 hits were enough to knock out my command system for a while* he thought sullenly. *And how could I have heard it talking? I've never had that happen to me before...not even with my zoid* he thought thinking of his Konig Wolf. He could hear explosions in the distance and knew that the same zoid that had attacked him was probably stirring up trouble back at the Whale King. He sighed in defeat, there was no way that his Konig Wolf could with stand another hit like that. Even now it barely had enough energy to walk.

* How did I end up doing this anyway? Working illigelly for a gang of dangerous zoid hunters is not what I had in mind when I was looking for a permanent job* he thought sourly as he headed back towards the Whale King. When he got there he was shocked at what he saw. Dozens of zoids were mutilated and destroyed, most had a leg missing, and some had no legs at all. Several Zaber Fangs had been gutted completly and other zoids had their heads or armor ripped off of them. And standing in the middle of it all were 2 zoids,the Liger he had seen earlier and a blood red, black striped Berserk Fury. Although most of the zoids had been taken out some of them still remained. *It's a good thing there are 4 Whale Kings on this island otherwise we would be in BIG trouble* he thought watching as a 3- legged Zaber Fang leaped towards the Liger only to be knocked down and have it's other leg's torn off.

Gaven shuddered as he looked around at the carnage, that Liger could have easily done the same thing to him and his Wolf. *I'd better be glad that Roland came along in his Aerosaur in time to hold it off some* he thought backing into the forest After he didn't want to get caught in the middle of the fightining seeing as he was torn up already. *All this destruction....and all because of a couple of rare wild zoids* Gaven thought remembering what his grandfather had told him.

~Flashback~ "Back in the time of the Ancient Zoidians, there was no such thing as a 'tame' zoid.....zoids worked together with their human partners and nothing more, they understood each other and worked in perfect harmony" his grandfather Giovanni told Gaven. "Back then zoids had thoughts and wills of their own, but many of them prefered to live wild, killing other zoids for food or for survival." he added. "Wow! Really!?" a young Gaven asked eyes wide. Giovanni nodded and continued, "But once the Ancient Zoidians started using them for fighting and for war, zoids became more and more acoustumed to the thought of fighting, and began to fight even when there was no point or objective" he said with a sigh. "So what happened to all of the zoids and people?" Gaven asked deeply interested.

"Well back then zoids didn't have bullets like zoids today, because the people back then had found a way to harness pure energy and turn it into a destructive deadly force" he said pausing. "Energy like Charged-Particle- Beams? That type of energy only used in all weapons?"Gaven asked after thinking for a moment. "Yes exactly, and then one group of Ancient Zoidians created the Deathsaurer, their biggest mistake of all; the Ancient Zoidians then banded together in order to Defeat it and the world was safe" he told Gaven.

"But the destruction from the Deathsaurer had left almost all of the Ancient Zoidians dead right? And what happend to the zoids after the last of the Zoidians were gone?" Gaven asked, "Good question...the Ancient Zoidians came together and started to rebuild their lives, but the strong and almost supernatural bond that they once had with their zoids was gone.....they could no longer talk to their zoids, and the zoids saddend by what the Zoidians had done, left and became wild once more" he said stopping.

"And after that?!" Gaven asked, deeply engrossed in what he was being told. Giovanni smiled and continued, "The Zoidians unable to live without zoids created zoids of their own using the Zoid Eve's power; these zoids had thoughts and wills of their own but nowhere near as much as the zoids living in the wild. Rumors say that some zoids found and island cut off from the rest of he world and on it they loved life as their ancient ancestors did years ago, and soon all memory and knowledge of humankind is said to have vanished from them. Many people belive that the island is no more then a rumor and myth or fantasy, but you never now it may exsist after all" Giovanni concluded.

"If the island does exist then the zoids there would have to be strong right? In order to survive they would have to be smarter and stronger then anything the world has every seen right?" Gaven asked with a smile. "Yes some zoids are even said to have an Organoid System as well, giving them the ability to think,grow and develop, these zoids are said to be as smart as any human" Giovanni said smiling. "And these zoids are thought to look different then other zoids as well, having extra weapons,stronger armor, and most likely different colors as well" Giovanni finished. "Do zoids have feelings?" Gaven asked, "Oh no, maybe tommorow, as it is you'll be tossing and turning all night" he replied ruffling Gaven's hair. ~End Flashback~

*This has to be the island my Grandfather was talking about! I know it! And if he's right then those zoids.....those zoids may be the ones with Organoid Systems, the famous Ultimate X zoids* Gaven thought turning around and coming face to face with a brown Zaber Fang, it had 3 rows of spikes running down it's back and 2 rows of spikes on each of it's legs./You going somewhere human?/ it hissed head lowered and teeth bared.

*Uh oh, this is not good, not good at all* Gaven thought backing his Konig Wolf up. /Razorback? I thought you were heading towards Rock Spire Mountain?/ the liger growled to the Zaber Fang, /Hey Nirvana! I met up with a Snipe Master called Stealth Assasin on the way there and he said he would tell everybody he could/ the Zaber Fang grunted. /Good job, Diablo you go take care of the remaining zoids back there me and wolf boy have a score settle/ the liger, now known as Nirvana growled walking towards him. The Berserk Fury nodded and turned and walked back towards the Whale King.

*Diablo,Razorback and Nirvana.....well it seems that my grandfather was right about zoids being as intelligent as humans are* Gaven thought as Nirvana began shooting at him. As he dipped and dodged her fire he couldn't help but wonder how he could hear the zoids talking.*Wait her?Since when has it become a her?And how does my grandfather know so much about the Ancient Zoidians and what happend after the Deathsaurer? Even the best scientists can't figure that out.......* Gaven thought managing to get in a few shots of his own. "BOMBS AWAY!!!!!!!!" he heard a voice from above say. He looked up and saw a missle heading down towards them.

He quickly jumped out of the way but Nirvana wasn't as fortunate, the missle exploded and expanded into a gigantic net. The net landed on top of her and began shocking her. Gaven could now see that the net had been made of pure steel and also had weights on the ends of it. Nirvana struggled and for several minutes it seemed as though the electricity was having no effect at all. But after 10 minutes she finally fell to the ground in defeat, but it still continued to thrash about, though it was clear that it's strength was failing.

"How's that for good timing?" Roland said over the intercom. "It's a good thing I held back until now, otherwise you'd be space dust" he said his Aerosaur appearing from the left. "Hey! Senza and Juliana here, we got the other 2 zoids as well, the Zaber Fang and Berserk Fury" Senza said his face appearing on screen. "And their still putting up quite a fight; hey Roland how much money do you think these zoids are worth?" Juliana asked. "Enough money to make us all rich, if they were tame the would be worth a ton, wild ones like these are bound to be worth millions, right Gaven?" Roland said to him.

"Uh, yeah right...." he said quietly. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty at what was going to happen to the zoids. They would most likely be taken and sold to some rich snob who knew nothing about zoids and didn't want to learn either. Nirvana finally maneged to stand up and she stared straight at Gaven./Just you wait human, your as good as dead once I get out of here, i'll make sure that you pay with your very soul/ she roared venomously before being dragged away in electrified chains.
