Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids as well as the characters from the anime but I do own most of the characters in this fanfic and the zoids that I though up so please don't steal them.

A/N: Now I'm proudly to present the second chapter of Zoids Fusion X

Battle of the Claws

Kane was piloting his Shadow Fox around the area where the lab was burnt down on. Lightning was at the moment just following the Shadow Fox. Kane scouted around still looking for any clues as to where the zoids could have gone. The foot prints of the zoids just seemed to have been covered up by the sand already. The day had some breeze. After a while of more scouting he turned and left giving the area one last look. The fire, it still played on his thoughts. He shook his head and head back to meet Lyru.

"Did you find anything?" Moon asked leaning out of the Gun Sniper's cockpit.

"No." Kane said after his opened his cockpit.

"I didn't find anything either." Lyru said as he Konig Wolf walked up to them.

Osorus' Geno Saurer was seen heading toward them. "Someone has seen two zoids that fit the description I posted. The men I heard from said that they saw the two zoids in the desert near the Sand Colony.

"I'm on my way." Kane said as his cockpit closed and his Shadow Fox started heading in the direction on the map that Osorus sent to him.

"Wait Kane. Urg wait for me already would you." Lyru said into the intercom from the Konig Wolf to the Shadow Fox. The Konig Wolf come up close from behind, Crescent had fused with the Konig Wolf so that Lyru didn't have to wait for him to catch up.

"You'll slow me down just stay back."

"Heh yeah like I'd do that. I want to go to and you can't stop me."

"You're such a pain sometimes. Fine just stay back when I tell you to." Kane gave up arguing with him and allowed her to follow. They reached Sand Colony in a matter of moments and say that it was burned down. Sand Colony had consisted of one of the main fighting forces for the Republican and Empirial force. The Empirial and Republican forces had joined together after the first encounter with the Death Saurer. The whole colony, it was in ashes. Flames were still seen and smoke filled the area as well as the sky above. Kane looked on, his eyes started to burn with anger and the greed in his eyes turned slightly red. Lyru watched in horror. She had heard of how in the Sand Colony that they had some of the elite zoid pilots right from the zoid academy. Some pilots were as young as she was even and see everything in flames brought fear into her eyes.

"How could two zoids cause this? Some of the best zoid pilots lived and trained here." Lyru saw something glow within the flames and thought it was a zoid that was able to survive the assault on the colony. She raced in and Kane yelled for her to stop but she kept heading deeper into the fire. The fire seemed to split allowing a pathway for her that lead to a white liger zoid. It was the Liger Zero that she saw in the laboratory.

"How dare you do this? How could you kill people who are trying to protect the colonies here?" Lyru shouted. The Liger Zero only turned its head around to look at the Konig Wolf. Lyru looked at it. She wasn't able to make a connection to the Liger Zero's intercom or she could have seen what the pilot looked like. There was a moment of silence before Kane's Shadow Fox came running next to the Konig Wolf.

"Lyru. Don't run off into a fire like that." Kane said then looked forward. He saw the Liger Zero. "You caused this didn't you? Didn't you!" Kane shouted and used his Shadow Fox to step forward.

"I challenge you to a zoid battle." Kane said and Lightning fused with the Shadow Fox and got prepared to engage in combat. The Liger Zero stood still for a while then took a step forward.

The Shadow Fox took another step forward and ejected the black smoke from his vents. The black smoke covered the area with both the Shadow Fox and the Liger Zero. The Shadow Fox's sensory capability was able to allow it to still see were the Liger Zero was and was close to leap for a Strike Laser Claw attack but in the same movement the Liger Zero leaped up making a flip then pushed forward with the help of it's boosters and knocked the Shadow Fox backward and making it lose balance. The Shadow Fox slowly got up and tried to fire his Vulcan X gatling gun but it was to slow. The Liger zero moved out of its line of fire. In a split second the Liger Zero was in front of the Shadow Fox and it used its Strike Laser Claw and slashed the Vulcan X gatling gun and making it slide off as the Liger jumped back. A small explosion was made from the Vulcan X gatling gun when it was sliced straight off.

"Ahh." Kane moved back to regain balance. "Come on Lightning, you can move faster then that. I know you can."

The Shadow Fox let out a howl and it leaped forward and ran at the Liger Zero at Lightning speed but some how the Liger was able to dodge and it seemed as though the Liger knew what the Fox was going to do before he did it. With one fast slash the Shadow Fox was able to slash at the Liger Zero's eye and it left a deep dent. The Liger growled then leaped out at inhuman speed and bit down on the Shadow Fox's leg breaking it off. Then the Liger Zero leaped at the Shadow Fox and pushed it into the ground. The movements of the Liger Zero were too hard to keep up with. It was as though the attacks were coming from every direction. Finally the Shadow Fox was unable to get up and the Liger stood there. It looked down at the Shadow Fox.

"Stop!" Lyru shouted and made her Konig Wolf stand in front of the broken down Shadow Fox. "Don't you dare try to kill him, I won't let you."

The Liger seemed to just stare at the Konig Wolf then backed away and ran into the smoke. Rain seemed to pour in contact. Lightning defused with the Shadow Fox and was lying on the ground exhausted. Kane jumped out of the cockpit and walked over to his organoid. He bent down and laid a hand on his organoid's head then looked up in to the sky. The rain soaked him but he didn't care. The battle seemed one sided, he wasn't able to attack as fast as the enemy zoid.

Moon and Osorus finally reach the two and saw how badly the Shadow Fox's condition had gotten. "Wow that was some battle. The Shadow Fox is totally trashed. I don't even think a Zoid Repairer can fix it now."

"Tsuki stop. Kane is just as surprised by his lose, don't push it."

Kane looks down at Lightning one more time then clenches his fists. "I'll make him pay."
