Reviews…

Dragon-Raptor… They'll be in a tumbling washing machine …. And yes there will be 'interference'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Blitz team was now staring at the twin of their Liger Zero. It had everything down to the claws and detail. Vega was still from shock of another Berserk Fury and now in front of him was another Liger Zero. Bit was very cocky at the moment.

(A/N: To avoid confusion Blitz Team's Bit Cloud will be known as Bit, and MD Team's Bit Cloud McCloud will be known as Cloud)

"There's no way me and liger will lose to a fake Liger Zero!" Bit shouted off.

"Bit I suppose it depends who the pilot is…" Leon muttered. He wasn't surprised at all, as he had a guess that there will someone who will create another set of Ultimate X Zoids. But this was ridiculous. Why would they challenge them a match if they already copied and made new Ultimate X Zoids. And Leon knew what to do, he needed to beat them for the information, and that made him more confident in fighting. But what came next didn't go well in his record.

A video feed showed up in the Blade Liger's vid screen.

"Leon Toros… How nice to finally meet you." Rai said.

Leon identified the warrior from the data that was given days ago. "Well… Rai Storm, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"I wasn't expecting you to battle me…I was expecting Ms Fluegel to go against a sniper like me!" Rai said, signaling himself with a thumb.

In the Blitz Team Hover Cargo, Naomi frowned a bit.

A video screen then came up in Rai's cockpit, it was Fiona.

"Uncle Rai, I forgot to tell you that Naomi is pregnant…and she might not be fighting fit." She said with a smile.

"Oh… well I'll be sure to challenge you some other time Ms Fluegel." Rai said.

Naomi and Brad heard this and Naomi blushed and became a bit frustrated. Brad was clenching his fists already, thoughts on why he didn't join the battle.

"So Mr. Storm… you're the team leader?" Leon asked.

"Me? Nope… but the one in that Liger Zero is." Rai commanded his Zoid to nod its head towards its partner Zoid.

Leon tried to contact the other pilot, but was getting errors.

"Hey Bit! Can you contact the pilot?" Leon said over the comm. link.

There was no response.

Inside the Liger Zero Basic (Blitz Team)

Bit was now staring at… himself.

"No way…." He muttered.

His image then spoke, "Yes way." Cloud said.

Outside the Judge was now finished with the deliberations it was making for the Rai's Shadow Fox and Cloud's Liger Zero and other data.

Now it was time to battle, the Judge look around and started to speak.

"The surrounding 25 mile radius is now a designated Zoid battlefield. Only contestants and support personal are allowed entrance. Danger!" The judge then signaled the two teams, "Area Scanned… Battlefield set up!"

Both Leon and Rai were now boring holes at each other with their sight. Bit was still in shock but decided to shake it off. Cloud was happily grinning

"We'll talk later Bit Cloud." Cloud said before he closed the link.

"A 2-on-2 match, The Blitz Team VS The Metal Dragon Team. Ready…. FIGHT!" An alarm from the Judge capsule sounded of signaling the battle to start. Rai went on charging at the Blade Liger, while Cloud and the Liger Zero stared at the other Liger Zero.

"Come on Kitty." Rai said with a grin as he deployed the Shadow Fox's energy blades to the side. Leon responded in deploying the Red Blade Liger's own energy blades and charged at the oncoming zoid.

In the Liger Zero's cockpit, Bit was now hesitating.

"Hey liger any ideas?" He asked the liger.

#Apparently no….but there is something familiar about that pilot…but I can't place it# the liger said.

"Well we should do something…" Bit said but the other liger moved slowly to its side. Bit followed by moving to the direction it's going. Cloud picked up the pace a little more, never leaving the Liger's head off the other liger. Bit cloud also did the same. Now they were strafing, then the next walking together while glaring each other down, then the next second they started sprinting. And now they deployed their ion boosters, going at the same speed, neither can make a move.

"Any plans now partner?" Bit asked.

a phrase blinked in the corner of the screen, Strike Laser Claw.

"Alright!" Bit shouted and steered the liger for a dip. Cloud saw this and prepared his own attack.

--! -- !--

Rai and Leon were now jousting each other with their blades; neither is giving up. They kept on charging and only the blades meet. The Shadow fox turned around and stopped its charge and watched as the Blade Liger continued its turn around and charge.

"I'm getting tired of this…" Rai said with frustration, "TIME TO END THIS!" Sparks started to flow around Rai's right hand. He then pressed a button and smirked. Rai suddenly jerked the controls, and made the Shadow Fox go on its boosters. It folded both its blades and started to run out of the way of the charging Liger.

"You're not going away that easily!" Leon said as he gave chase. He still had the Blade Liger's blade deployed and was still hot for more.

"Hehehe… he's not going to know what hit him…" Rai said as he pressed another button and the same button again. A thick smoke came out of the Shadow Fox's body and started to trail behind him and wrapped around him. And soon the Shadow Fox was covered and was gone out of sight. Leon grunted as his sight got blocked.

"Damn… I forgot about that…" Leon said, then he started to run out of the clouds. He folded back his blades to Blades back for now…

--! -- !--

Bit was now at a close range to pull out the Strike Laser Claw, and they were still running in one direction. When he realized that the other Liger was closing in on him, he had to act quickly.

"NOW LIGER! STRIKE LASER CLAW!" Bit shouted. The liger's cheek panels began to glow along with it's front paws. After a moment of charging the Liger Zero jumped into mid air and pulled it's right paw back. Cloud expected this and he met the liger's paw with his liger's paw, and then with a swift jerk, he was able to push the liger back without getting off the ground. The Liger Zero closed its panels and let the glow go off and then landed forcefully in the ground. The liger then dug it's claws down forcing it to stop a distance away from the halted opponent.

"Well liger… it also has the strike laser claw…" Bit observed when he was attacking, the other liger didn't have to run and charge, it can perform it quite quickly and efficiently. "Now what…"

Another blinking message came in and what it read give Bit an idea and a huge grin. He then steered Liger to run along with the other Liger going as well.

--! -- !--

Leon was safely out of the smokescreen and was now waiting for it to clear.

"Hiding are for cowards!" He taunted the other pilot.

There was no response.

Leon scanned again, but no luck.

"Where could he be…." Before he can say a word, a voice blasted from his comm. link,

"LEON, LOOK OUT!" Apparently it was Brad. Leon quickly evading anything, side stepped his liger to the right. And after that a laser shot came out of nowhere and hit the spot where the Blade Liger was standing. Leon looked around to see the Shadow Fox aiming at the point, but it's blades were flipped to its front shoulders, acting as Laser Cannons from Leon's Point of View.

"Damn it…." Rai hissed and then went into the black cloud.

"Oh no you don't!" Leon charged in while extending his Blade Liger's blades out in the open. He ripped through the black cloud almost dissipating it and out in the other side. He turned around and saw the smokescreen was now dissipating.

"Now…huh?" Leon was now surprised. The smoke cleared and the Shadow Fox was nowhere in sight. "Where did he go?" Leon was alarmed now.

--! -- !--

The blitz team could only watch in horror, as the battle seemed to go on. Leena was a bit worried about Bit, though she doesn't know what to do. Apparently she hasn't seen the pilot of the other Liger Zero, only the Shadow Fox pilot. Sarah on the other hand was still silently rooting for Leon. Vega was amazed but still was frightened at the other liger Zero. It moves the same and acts the same as Bit's. Pierce and Stroller could only watch in awe at the other zoids. Jamie was now getting split ends on how to beat the other Zoids. Naomi was impressed with Rai's ability, but was still rooting for Leon to win. Brad was …… dreaming of Rai's Zoid right now, getting crushed by his own Shadow Fox. And Doc… was melting at the modifications on the Shadow Fox, and was taking notes on it.

--! -- !--

Leon was now looking around, "Where are you? YOU COWARD! SHOW YOURSELF!" Leon shouted at the comm. link of the other plot.

"A ninja doesn't reveal himself in battle…" was all Leon heard.

"What are you talking about?" Leon calmed himself down; losing temper in a battle is a bad thing to do.

"Prepare your self!"

Leon braised his Zoid and himself for anything.

But nothing came.

Leon relaxed a bit, only to be caught of guard with a sudden shout

"EMP MISSILE STORM!" Rai shouted over his comm. link. Out from a single area of the field, behind the red liger a volley of tiny missiles erupted and all headed for the liger. Leon could only widen his eyes as the missiles hit him full force in the back.

And the Red Blade liger fell to its side, gaining a laugh from Rai.

"NO ONE CAN BEAT THE THUNDER GOD! HAHAHA!" Rai shouted over the link, making some people in his team frown.

'He's over doing it…' Tsunami thought.

--! -- !—

Bit now had the chance. He charged again with a strike laser claw, only to be countered with the same move. But after landing…

"ALPHA STRIKE!" Bit shouted and the liger fired its concealed laser turrets, shock cannon, micro missiles and mortar missiles at the other liger.

Cloud smirked a bit and let the missiles hit.
