Somewhere along the desert, a Red Shield Liger and 2 Lightning Saix ran right down the desert. Inside the Red Shield Liger's cockpit, JC was looking forward ahead in a serious tone as Kiyin watched him in fear anc concern. But as they all ran down, Joey's face popped in front of him.
Joey: 2 enemy Zoids are coming up ahead.
JC: Where are they?
Then before they could realize, giant cannonfire surrounded them. Matt and Stephen looked around to see that a Gunbluster was firing all that with a Shadowfox nearby.
Edylg: Well well well... if it isn't the Red Shield Liger who I swore to kill personally.
Kiyin: Edylg...
JC: So that's Edylg..
Edylg: (pops up) I've been waiting for the moment of killing you. I am Edylg Juturn.
JC: I am JC Killa. I've heard alot about you.
Jinryu: (pops up)Then you should know what we are here for.
Joey: (pops up) You're Jinryu! Why did you betray us?
Jinryu: ... Why DID I?
Edylg: Enough! It's time to finish this once and for all.
Joey: Edylg! You're going to have to fight me!
Edylg: Leave yourself out of this! For your presence here won't make it any better.
Joey: You're under arrest of the Guardian Force. You either go down willingly in this situation or we take you by force.
Edylg: .. I swear to you, if you interfere with my affairs..
Jinryu: Then he's going to make sure you never live to see another day!
Joey: .. If that's the case.
And with that said, the Red Lightning Saix began shooting the Gunbluster. The assault was heavy, but the damage was minor. Jinryu's soon started to counterattack with the cannons on its back. Seeing what was about to happen, the RLS began to run from the assault. As for the others, the Shadowfox began to spread itself a smokescreen, surrounding the battlefield in black.
Joey: Dammit. Where is he?
Kiyin: .. Behind you!
JC turned around and turned on its energy shield. At that point, lasers were running right at the energy shield. Joey then started shooting straight at where the fire was coming from as he checked his AI. Joey knew that Edylg dodged, so he had to pinpoint where he was. The AI then determined where the Shadowfox was.
Joey: MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!
The Lightning Saix and the Shield Liger soon jumped out of the way when lasers ran through right were they were. Not knowing what else to do, JC soon started to run out of the smokescreen, hoping to find Edylg and the Shadowfox without Joey's approval.
Joey: What are you doing?
JC: I'm trying to get out of the smokescreen!
Joey: He's going to attack you from behind! Fall back!
JC didn't listen and just kept on going. Knowing what was going to happen, Joey checked his AI for the Shadowfox's exact heat signature and sound pinpoint. From what he saw, the Shadowfox was nearby and his vulcan gun was pointing to the Liger. Joey started firing at the base of the vulcan gun before Edylg could even notice. The gun ended up malfunctioning.
Edylg: NO!
Joey: Yes!
Kiyin: Yeah!
JC: What just happened?
Joey: I got rid of that vulcan gun. We don't have to worry about any long distance attacks anymore.
JC: Great! We might just have a chance!
Kiyin: (smiles a bit and looks out the window) Watch out!
JC: What?
Edylg: IF YOU THINK YOU'RE TAKING ME DOWN NOW, YOU'RE DAMN WRONG!
JC looked out the window and noticed that something glowing was about to pounce at their window. With quick retaliation, JC and Kiyin quickly activated the Shield Liger's energy shield. The Shadowfox's impact with the glowing claw against the shield was going strong though. Meanwhile, somewhere in the smoke, the Gunbluster kept trying to figure out where the Red Lightning Saix is at. But like Jinryu, Stephen and Matt were lost in the smoke.
Jinryu: (pops up) What's wrong? Can't find me through the smoke? (starts firing)
Stephen: (looks at the direction the assault was at) You shouldn't talk.
Matt: I guess he's distracted.. But what about that Edylg guy?
Stephen: Not sure.. he should've taken us out by now.
Matt: I'm sure JC and the others have that covered up. We're just gonna have to worry about that other Zoid as long as the smoke's up.
The Shield Liger was pushing itself against the standing Shadowfox's glowing claw. From the looks of the intense impact, the shield was about to crack. But at the same time, the glowing claw started breaking away into the shield.
JC: What are you doing? You're gonna get yourself killed!
Edylg: If I take you with me, then it's worth it!
Joey: Not when I'm around.
Edylg moved his eyes quickly to see that the Red and Blue Lightning Saix started firing straight at the Shadowfox. Without an idea of what to do, he jumped out of the way and ran into the smoke, generating more for the others to get lost in.
JC: Dammit! I can't see in this thing..
Joey: Best be on your guard.. You're definately his first target.
As Joey looked through his AI, he noticed that the Shadowfox was spotted on his radar. But as he looked at it, his eyes widely opened. Before he tried to tell this to JC, he realized that it was too late. In the smoke, the Shadowfox used its Strike Laser Claw right onto the Shield Liger's back.
JC: No!
Joey: JC..
Edylg: Yes!
But down with the Sheild Liger's system came the right broken claw. It shattered as it tried struck the enemy. The sudden surprise caused the Shadowfox to fall onto its side. Edylg smiled sinisterly as he gripped tightly onto his controls. As for the Shield Liger, it fell onto its face, leaving JC and Kiyin unarmed. JC was bleeding a bit as he looked in the back of his cockpit. He noticed that Kiyin was knocked out a bit.
JC: I really hope Joey can do something right about now...
JC looked forward and noticed that the Shadowfox slowly rised from the ground with a crippled right claw. Slowly, the Shadowfox walked slowly up to him as Edylg inside reached for his sword. By the time Edylg came within 20 feet between the Shadowfox and the Shield Liger, he quickly opened the cockpit as he quickly took notice of the Lightning Saix pointing its laser cannons at him.
Edylg: (chuckles) Do what you want with it.. You're never gonna get me with that Zoid anyway if I only had to use this sword.
Joey: We'll just see then.
The Guardian Force Zoid started shooting constant waves of lasers, damaging the Shadowfox's sides. During all this, Edylg jumped out while the Shadowfox fell on its side with a system error. The swordsman soon got up and walked to the Shield Liger's cockpit, but JC opened the orange widow himself and he walked up to him.
Edylg: .. (chuckles) I'm so glad we get to meet face to face..
JC: Are you aware at all that your brother is still trying to kill you?
Edylg: I'm too small of a target. He can't get me. And the only way he can stop me is if-
Joey: - I stomp you out!
Edylg soon jumped out of JC's face as a giant foot fell in its place. Before the Lightning Saix was to move its leg, Edylg cleverly, took out the sword and ran at what tried to kill him. He soon unsheathed his sword and sliced into the Saix's leg and foot. This caused the Saix to roar and it also caused Joey to realize that this isn't going to work.
Joey: Guess the best way to take him out is with a swordfight. Look out, Edylg!
The Lightning Saix's cockpit soon opened and Joey jumped straight down. Edylg looked through the smoke as he say Joey land on his knees and hands and get up to unsheath his straight edge sword. Edylg then looked at his brother as he unsheathed his oriental sword.
Edylg: I hope you know that I'd do anything to kill JC, even if it means having to kill you first.
Joey: I swear to you on our parents' graves, you will be stopped!
Both brother charged at eachother and swung their swords at eachother. Without any other idea of what to do, Edylg, tried hitting Joey on the side, but was blocked by Joey's blade. At the same time, the Guardian Force member punched Edylg in the face. As soon as Edylg got knocked to the ground, Joey lifted his sword and tried to slice down on Edylg. But before he could make the move at all, Edylg, got up and kneed Joey in the gut.
Edylg: So are you going to give up? Or do you want to feel more pain?
Joey soon grabbed Edylg by the coat and ended up punching him in the back of the head. Joey soon ran at a certain distance between him and his brother as Edylg regained conciousness and grabbed his sword. He soon turned around and found that Joey was running right at him, hoping for a quick strike.
Edylg: No you don't!
Edylg soon swung his sword right at Joey the same time Joey did the same thing. When they past eachother, Joey's short sleeve got cut the same time Edylg's trenchcoat sleeve got cut. JC was just amazed at what was happening in front of his face. Explosions soon came out of nowhere in the background. Around the other part of the battlefield, Jinryu was still trying to find where the Saix was.
Jinryu: Where are you?
The smoke started to clear out a bit and the Gunbluster was spotted by Stephen and Matt. Now that he was tarteted, he was heavily assaulted by the Saix's double laser cannons in the sides. The Gunbluster's damage was increasing my the moment and Jinryu tried to turn around the Gunbluster.
Matt: Come on! If we keep this up, we could end up taking him out!
Jinryu: (pops up) Wait! Wait! I'm with you!
Matt: What?
Jinryu: I'm really on your side! I'm just working undercover in the Backdraft!
Matt: ...
Stephen: ... I don't trust him.
Matt: I don't know.. He never really gave us a hard time..
Stephen: Just look at him! You can never trust people with shifty green eyes.
Matt: (targets Gunbluster's head) How do we know we can trust you?
Jinryu: (targets Lightning Saix) I would've shot you right now if I wasn't one of you guys. I'll even tell you why we're even doing this whole kidnapping and send to the valley thing.
Stephen: .. Enlighten us..
Jinryu: I didn't hear much, but from what I hear, 13 people are captured, but only 3 of them are the most important.
Matt: But why are the other 10 captured?
Jinryu: They're threats to our plans. If they're as good as an Ultimate X, then they're likely to be a big of a threat.
Matt: But don't you realize that we have others who are as good as well?
Jinryu: I guess the Count's grandson isnt' perfect then, huh?
Stephen: The Count's grandson? Who's that?
Jinryu: I don't know.. And that's all I know.
Matt: So in that case, are you going to join us or are you gonna stay undercover with the Backdraft?
Jinryu: (chuckles) It all depends... For now, I think I'll stay with Genesis until I get to see what the whole thing is about the Count's grandson. Too bad you won't live long enough to see it!
Jinryu started laughing as hard as he can as he pressed fire. Outside, the Lightning Saix and the Gunbluster looked at eachother for a few seconds. A sweatdrop soon formed on both Zoids as Jinryu realized that he's out of ammo.
Jinryu: Ah no!
Stephen: .. Not exactly the brightest bulb in the box, huh?
The Lightning Saix started firing at Jinryu's cockpit, damaging the Gunbluster's eyes and guns. The assault was causing all the systems in Jinryu's cockpit to expode in his face. Soon, the Gunbluster fell down and its command system froze.
Matt: ... That was something (sighs).
Stephen: .. So should we go and help JC?
Matt: .. We're almost out of feul and besides. There's that Guardian Force member. So everything's under control.
Stephen: I hope you're right..
Edylg and Joey were looking at eachother clearly in eachothers eyes as they both tried catching their breaths and as they tried to pull their swordtips out of the ground. JC wished he could do something, but he just didn't know what to do. Both Juturn brothers soon recovered and charged at eachother again. The swords were clashing against one another in front of JC's eyes and the sparks of the impacts keep flying everywhere. Joey struck his sword down onto the ground, where Edylg was standing. As soon as he realized he wasn't there, he felt something sharp fly by his back. Edylg was right behind him and ripped a cut in Joey's back.
Joey: Damn..you .. bastard..
Edylg smiled and followed it up by using the sword's hilt and smacking Joey behind the head, knocking him out. Everything was quiet for a few seconds on the ground where Edylg stood. Now that Joey was taken out, it was time for him to find JC and kill him. That was when JC jumped him from behind, causing Edylg to drop his sword.
Edylg: What the hell are you doing?
JC: I'm gonna take you out.
Edylg then punched JC off him, causing him to fall onto the ground. Edylg soon got up and went to get his sword while JC was still on the ground. When JC finally regained some strenght to get up, Edylg's sword was planted right beside his face, stabing the ground he was lying in.
Edylg: Stay there like the dog you are.
JC: A real man fights fairly.
Edylg: (smirks) Then I guess you can just call me a monster.
Edylg soon planted his foot into JC's stomach, making him unable to move. Seeing that his prey was helpless, he grabbed his hilt and raised his sword from the ground. Right nearby, Kiyin woke up and found that she was inside a broken down Liger. When she got off, she quickly noticed that Edylg was about to skewer JC. Not knowing what to do, she ran straight up to them.
Kiyin: EDYLG! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The screech of his sister stopped Edylg from finishing off the job. He quickly jerked his head at Kiyin who jumped inbetween Edylg's sword and JC's pinned down body. Edylg seemed to be confused at the moment, wondering where she came from and what she's doing.
Edylg: Kiyin! You've been with him all this time?
Kiyin: Yes! He saved me when I needed to be!
Edylg: He kidnapped you and is getting in the way of our plans! Get out of the way, I'm going to kill him!
Kiyin: Edylg! He never kidnapped me! That one night, he saved me from being killed!
Edylg: Nonsense! He's a threat! He deserves to die!
Kiyin: What is it with you killing people who don't need to?
Edylg: Kiyin!...
Kiyin: Edylg! Don't kill him! I... I...
Edylg's eyes widened as soon as he heard her stutter. He couldn't believe what she was about to say. He looked at her from above, watching her blush from embarassment being that she was telling this near JC and Edylg, the man trying to kill him who also happened to be her brother.
Edylg:... KIYIN! IF YOU DON'T MOVE NOW! I'M GOING TO HAVE TO KILL YOU TOO!
Kiyin: YOU MEAN THE SAME WAY YOU KILLED MOM AND DAD?
With that, Edylg froze in terror. It felt as if everything around him was turning inside out and as if he was inverting colors. He looked down onto his sister and the man she was trying to protect. After a few seconds of silence, he lowered his sword and eventually planted it to the sand.
Edylg: ... How... did you know?...
Kiyin: I had it figured out... When you disappeared, you had a Shadowfox with the Count's Grandson. Together, you went to my parents and killed them both!
JC: ... Is... this true?
Edylg: ... (head looking down) ... Yes... I was part of the massacre... Years ago, we went broke and I had to fend off for myself so my family will have more mouths to feed.. I took up on a few jobs, but then I ended up working for the Count's Grandson. All we had to was just test out some Zoids and have some fun... That day... I didn't realize that we killed my own parents until it was too late... We came back and I went to look for you... You were there, unaware of this whole mess.. Seeing you had nowhere else to go, I decided to take you in, knowing that I'm the only one who can take care of you..
Kiyin: (crying) But you... killed our parents...
Edylg: ... I'll be honest.. I was part of the massacre.. but I didn't kill them.. I allowed the other 2 to... It was all mostly the idea of the Count's Grandson.
JC: But why'd you keep this going?
Edylg: ... I'm a criminal.. a murderer.. I killed people and loved it... But of all the people I kill, I would never've killed Mom or Dad... It took me up til now to realize that I've been doing wrong things and it's been affecting everyone around me, especially you, Kiyin... I never wanted you to know because I thought you would hate me forever...
Kiyin: ... It's hard to forgive you.. It'll take a while.. but I ask you... please... stop this... it doesn't have to be like this...
A teardrop fell near Egylg's trenchcoat. He extended his hands torwards both JC and Kiyin as he took his foot off. After helping them up, he walked up to Joey and helped him up as well. He grouped them all together and sat nearby the Red Shield Liger. Nearby, a Red Lightning Saix walked striaght up and pened it's cockpit.
Matt: ... JC! Are you ok?
JC: I'm fine... Just let me rest up a bit.
Kiyin: ... (smiles and looks at Edylg) Thank you..
Edylg: ... (smiles)
The smokes cleared and looking into the skies, they hope that the hostages are safe. As they look up, they came to notice that the Guardian Force Whale King was coming down. They knew what was going to happen, so they all helped themselves up and waited for the mouth to open. Later on, up in the Guardian Force Whale King, Magpie continued to work the controls, figuring where the others, as well as the remaining Backdraft members went to. The Whale King started flying to the spot of the valley that was surrounded by fog.
