Twilight Fame
"…Ready, Fight!"
"Let me show you what Twilight and I can do," Jacob yelled.
"Got it," Leslie called, initiating her stealth shield and disappearing from the battlefield.
"Roger that," Sarah responded, turning on her frontal force shield and backing away from the central battlefield.
"Now that the others are out of the way let's show the world what you and I can do." He looked out at the team that was to be his opponent. It was a team called the Flash Reapers and it was comprised of a Raynos, a Zaber Fang, and a Dibison. "Come on Twilight. This should be a piece of cake."
He started by firing a full barrage of 20 missiles at the Raynos that was just turning to escape. He watched with satisfaction as twelve of the missiles scored direct hits, sending the unlucky Zoid into a dive.
He turned his attention to the Zaber Fang, being sure to stay away from the firing zone of the Dibison. Twilight quickly reached its full speed of 290km/h, easily catching up to the Zaber Fang, which was traveling at only 240km/h. Jacob easily avoided the 20mm cannon fire that came from the two guns on the Zaber's tail.
Smiling, Jacob said, "Alright Twilight, let's show this one the Strike Laser Claw." Twilight growled in response and the claws on the front two paws began to glow. The black König Wolf leapt onto the Zaber Fang's back and sunk its laser charged claws deep. The unlucky cat collapsed, not to move again in this battle.
"Time for the finale," Jacob said, turning to the Dibison that was still trying to turn and lock onto the jet-black wolf that had taken out his teammates. Jacob flipped forward the Twin Lunar Beam Rifles.
Taking careful aim he fired a three second burst from the two 40mm pulse cannons as he fired the rifles twice. The pulse beams stung the legs and the rifle blasts struck the Dibison at mid-chest. The mighty tank fell to its knees and didn't move.
"Battle Over, Battle Over. The winner is… Team Twilight," the Judge announced.
"That was quite impressive," Leslie said. "Any quicker and you would have beaten Bit Cloud's record."
"I'm not quite that good," Jacob said, raising his hands in protest.
"Come on," Leslie said. "You did take out a member of the Blitz Team remember."
"Yeah," Jacob said. "I beat Leena Toros. Anyone can take her out if they can dodge her barrages. Either that or they find a way to pull the trigger faster than she can."
"You used a Gun Sniper to beat a Zaber Fang in close combat," Leslie said.
"Hey brother," Sarah said hesitantly.
Jacob opened his mouth to retort to Leslie when he realized that Sarah had spoken. He turned to her, concerned. "Yeah sis?"
"You had enough money to buy yourself an extra Zoid and outfit it and to buy me a Zoid," she said. "Then why haven't you bought any upgrades for my Shield Liger?"
He hung his head. "It took all my money to make Twilight ready and to buy Mist for you. I'm broke. All I have is the money we've won in our resent battles. I'm sorry I haven't been able to properly outfit Mist but I don't even have the money to buy you a cat let alone a…" He suddenly stopped.
"Buy me a what," Sarah asked.
"Never mind," Jacob said. "The point is that I just don't have any money and I never will have so long as we remain a D Class team. But I think I know how to make it into the upper classes."
"How's that," Sarah and Leslie asked simultaneously.
"By accepting an old challenge," he said smiling.
