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 fifth chapter of Zoids Fusion X
Who Are You?
The Konig Wolf growled at the Liger and the Liger Zero growled back. There was no movement but a stare down at the moment. Everything seemed quiet. Then it started the Konig Wolf leaped forward and tried to use it's fangs to clamp down on the Liger but missed. The Konig Wolf tried again but with it's claws this time and tried to slash the Liger. To Lyru she was able to see that the Liger only dodged her attacks and didn't attack back. Her stubbornness got in the way and she stopped the Konig Wolf.
"Why don't you fight back?" Lyru shouted but no answer. She charged at the Liger again and the Liger dodged it easily. Lyru knew that at any given moment the Liger could strike and she would be out in an instant after watching its performance before. She was loosing her temper and it infuriated her. Was this zoid pilot playing with her? She clenched her teeth and Crescent darted forward and the Konig Wolf was able to pushed the Liger back and grazing its left shoulder but only barely.
"Fight already!" Lyru shouted out of anger. The Liger Zero's pilot didn't answer nor could she put up an intercom to see the pilot's face. "Why won't you fight me? You fought them!" Lyru shouted.
"Is it because I'm weaker then them?" Lyru shouted. Was it because she was so weak that the Liger didn't even want to bother fighting with her? Her anger raged. After a few more minutes of non-stop attempts to attack the Liger she was tired. Her breathing turned heavy.
"Why won't you fight me?" Lyru's voice had turned ragged and she was sweating.
"Why do you want me to fight you so badly?" The Liger Zero's pilot finally said. Lyru's head moved upward slightly. That voice. It sounded familiar.
"My friends have fought you and know where they stand against you but I haven't yet. I want to know if I have a fighting chance in beating you or not." Lyru said. The Liger got into a position ready to leap. The Konig Wolf did the same. Lyru and Crescent were already exhausted but as most prepared as ever to battle.
Kane watched how the Konig Wolf was moving before. It was a lot faster then he'd ever seen before from the Konig Wolf. His watched at the attempts the Wolf had taken in trying to make even a dent in the Liger. Kane's eyes followed the Liger's movements as well. To him the Liger didn't look as though it wasn't using its full strength to battle against the Konig Wolf which confused him even more. What was going on? He kept asking himself.
The Liger growled and pushed some sand from under his claws before running straight at the Wolf. The Wolf lowered its head and got ready. Once the Liger was close enough the Wolf moved out of the way and with its claws it pushed the Liger Zero back and started a furious assault on the Liger. They looked as though they were rolling around with all of the movements. Then in a quick instant they jumped away from each other. Both zoids were at their maximum point. The Konig Wolf took the chance seeing the Liger trying to regain its balance and ran forward. With it's boosters on and fangs ready it leaped.
Lyru expected to clash with the Liger but her zoid was pushed back by something. It sent her rolling until she was able to get her zoid back in balance. Lyru looked up and saw another zoid. It was the Berserk Fury. The Berserk Fury had opened its omni-directional shield up and protected the Liger Zero from the Konig Wolf's attack. The Liger looked up to see the Berserk Fury.
"What was taking you so long?" The Berserk Fury's pilot said over the intercom to the Liger Zero's intercom. The Liger's pilot didn't answer. "Heh I guess I'll finish this."
The Berserk Fury started charging up its Charge Particle Beam Cannon and got ready to fire soon.
"Wait." The Liger's pilot said. The Berserk Fury stopped it's charging.
"Fine. Let's go." The Berserk Fury looked over to the other four zoids and turned, and then it started walking away. The Liger gave one last look over at the Konig Wolf before following the Berserk Fury.
"Are you sure you should have let them leave?" Kane said. His Shadow Fox was able to be healed completely by Lightning. Flame was able to repair the weapons on the Geno Saurer as well. Slash had some trouble trying to fix the Gun Sniper's legs though. The weights of the weapons on the Gun Sniper were really putting a toll on the repairs.
"If I kept fighting I think they would have won." Lyru said in a sarcastic tone. Who was that person who piloted the Liger Zero? The question continued to flow through Lyru's mind.
"Lyru let's go." Kane said as his Shadow Fox turned and started to walk. The Gun Sniper's legs were fully repaired by then and it was right behind the Geno Saurer.
"I'm coming." Lyru said and followed behind them but only after looking back one last time.
NEXT DAY
Lyru was walking in the Dawn Colony to buy some groceries since in the house that the four of them lived in had run low on food and she was "chosen" to buy it this time. She walked around to find the store of which sold lamb chops. Lyru decided to make them today since she felt like it was a special day. Moon had been practicing all day with Kane and Osorus to perfect her aim. Kane was also trying to perfect his speed and attack timing with Osorus. They were training with the Hellcats that the Empirial Army had no use for anymore. They used the newer models of the Hellcats and gave them the old models. They may not have been the best zoids but they come in handy for practicing on. When she left Lightning was sleeping as well as Slash but Flame was watching the practice matches.
"Why do I get stuck with the grocery shopping most of the time Crescent?" Lyru asked looking down at her organoid. Crescent just roared which meant that she didn't know. She continued walking and just being pulled into thought. As she was walking she bumped into someone without even knowing it.
"Uff."
"Sorry." The other person said. Lyru looked up and recognized the person she bumped into.
"It's you. You're the guy who helped me with my Konig Wolf. I didn't expect you to be here." Lyru said sort of happy to see him considering she didn't even know his name.
"Yeah um I'm just here to buy some things." The guy said.
"Oh I almost forgot my name's Lyru. Lyru Minawa." Lyru said and smiled. The guy avoided eye contact.
"I see." He said quietly.
"What's yours?"
"Hikaru Katsuki." Hikaru said. At this point Crescent started growling and it was aimed toward Hikaru.
"Crescent stop that." Lyru said trying to get her organoid to stop but Crescent didn't listen. Crescent then leaped out to attack Hikaru before Lyru was able to stop him and a flash of navy blue light hit against Crescent. Lyru watched it turn into an organoid and realized something. That was the same light that had went into the building. There were only a few organoids left on Planet Zi. Approximately less then ten altogether and she and her friends had four already. Another four were the old organoids that fought in the Battle of the Death Saurer. Thus only two were left.
"Wait it's you. You're the Liger Zero's pilot." It started to add up now. Why his voice sounded familiar. The navy blue organoid had pushed Crescent away then stood in front of Hikaru to make sure that Crescent wouldn't be able to lung and him again. "It is you, isn't it?"
Hikaru looked away not answering. He rarely talked with others, it make him uncomfortable.
"Why did you destroy those Colonies?"
"…"
"Answer me. Why did you refuse to battle me at full force?"
"I don't like fighting." Hikaru said simply.
"Then why do you?"
"…" He didn't answer. Lyru watched his eyes wince at her question. There was silence until Crescent started to growl again. Lyru put a hand over Crescent's lowered head and tried to calm it down.
"Do you really want to know?" Hikaru said with his head bent down and his hair shadowed his eyes. His fists clenched as he started to try and remember the sounds he heard of his memory.
"I would like to if you're willing to tell me." Lyru said watching him.
"It's because I hate all zoids. I hate that they fight."
"But they also fight to protect us. Not all zoids fights to kill." Lyru said outraged of his answer. That was way he was destroying zoids because he hates them.
"You don't understand!"
"You're not making it easy to understand!"
Lyru saw that Hikaru was getting angry then calmed down. He let out a soft sigh and turned to walk away.
"You just, won't understand." He started to walk away with his hands pushed into his pockets. Crescent was about to lash out again but Sky, the navy blue organoid jumped in it's way and growled then turned and caught up with it's master. Suddenly it hit her.
"Ahh I forgot I have to arrest him." Lyru shouted remember her job. Crescent watched her in confusion.
Back at their house
"Did you but the food?" Kane asked starved. He was sitting on the couch in front of the television.
"Yeah I go it here." Lyru said and threw a loaf of bread at his head. Good thing for Kane's quick reflexes because he caught it just before it hit his head.
"Do you want me to help you with dinner?" Osorus asked.
"Sure, thanks Osorus." Lyru said and looked around for Moon.
"Where's Moon?"
"You know her she probably out trying to buy more weapons. I swear he zoid it going to collapse on her one day if she adds anymore of those missile pods on it." Kane said and took a bit out of the bread. Lyru couldn't help but smile and her family and got back to cooking dinner.
Over in the Desert
"Hikaru you know what you have to do."
"I know Tskiyu. I'm on it."
"You'll have to finish the job this time."
"…"
