Bit took a sit beside Leena and said. "Leena I know that its been a bad idea since we decided to not let Drake battle but don't you think he'll want to be just like us at his age? Battling with his friends sharpening his skills againest each another?"
"I know Bit but what if the backdraft comes back he'll want to join in the fight too..."
"You saw his skills yourselves Leena, he can take care of himself but its you thats stopping me from unlocking the weapons, i've come close to millions of times when ever I walk past the ligers to unlock them"
"But still... its too dangerous"
"Leena throwing ceramic bathtubs at a 16 teen year teen for a simple mistake is also dangerous" Bit said as Leena simled at the memory of every bathtub thrown at Bit whenever he walk into the bathroom and caught sight of her because he forgot the bathing schedule.
"Okay... fine.."
"And whats more we have Leon, Naomi and Vega, not to mention Brad to look out for him on the battle field" Bit finished as he smiled when her violet eyes looked into his emerald green orbs with a smile. "So i'll go unlock the weapons then?" Bit ask as he stood up from his seat and walk to the door.
"Yup but later tonight when he sleeps I want him to have a surprise" Leena said as she join her husband and walked out together just as Jamie shouted for them to dinner.
After dinner – base hanger
"Is everyone asleep?" Bit ask his wife as he hid behind a wall checking if the coast is clear
"Yup.."
"Okay the coast is clear i'll get the system online and you wait here" Leena nodded and he quietly got into the cockpit of the Liger Zero Shadow, he plug in a laptop and started configuring the system he finished soon after and before jumpping down from the cockpit.
"Okay Liger I trust you to keep this to yourselves until he power you up again" Bit said as he lefted a note that will open up when the system starts up again and shut down the power and laptop, leaping off the cockpit and landed.
"Growl (you got it)"
"Thanks" he finished as he yawned and made his way to his wife with a smile, as they walk together to their room and drop to bed.
Next morning – base kitchen
Drake walked into the kitchen and picked up the jug of orange juice and poured himself a cup as he took his seat beside his parents who just so happen to not be there.
"Ah... grandpa wheres mum and dad?" he ask his grandfather who was sitting there playing with his Zoid models, a Redler and a Shadow fox, situating a battle and looked up.
"Not too sure myself Drake they are usually up by now..." he said and got back to his models
"Ah... grandpa is that my... shadow fox?" drake ask sterning the 'my' as he notice a few 'modifications' that were suppose to only be done onto his own shadow fox model.
"Oh sorry about that i'll put them back later cause yours is so... sweet how I wish I could get Brad to equip his to look just like your's" and Drake smiled as he finished his breakfast and step out of the kitchen, leaving the dishes to Jamie. He walked to his room and lied down onto his bed as he decide what he was going to do the whole day since he was going to be free, he decide to take his Liger out for a run than maybe hit the battle stimulator for awhile. He got up and changed into a pair of black pants and a white button down, with a blue jacket with buckles on the shoulder, he walked to the hanger and climbed into the Liger, starting up the system.
A message shot up in a new window on the screen, Drake opened it and started reading through the message as his smile grew wider till they reach his ears.
Drake,

"Holy" Drake said to himself as he looked at the online system with a smile.
Noon – hover cargo
Drake parked the Liger Zero onto one of the cargo's multiple platforms and got out, he looked around at the multiple armor holders on the side of the platforms as he smiled to himself.
"So this is the secret to dad's Liger..." he trailed off his sentence as he continue looking around at the compartments while walking into the control room, he was greeted by a sight of a group of people in front of him, his parents, grandfather, Jamie, Brad, Leon, Naomi, Stoller and the King himself Vega.
"Holy, wait I must have said that twice today, whats the occasion? How come everyone's here, dad?"
"Well son, the occasion is today will be the debut of Drake cloud and everyone is here to watch him"
"Oh..." and then it hit him "Wait a minute, you didn't just said Drake cloud did you"
"Who else will it be"
"Oh my god i'm going to be in my first battle?"
"Yup and code 0992 its going to be just you and Sanders"
"No way, Sanders and the Elephander? No chance to win now dad"
"Don't worry kid the Elephander is right here with me, Sander's one is a new one so it is not as throughly well equipped as mine" Stoller assured, making the new young warrior relief a little
"Well thats good news at least but still an Elephander..., oh well...when will the match take place?"
"In an hour the Zoid Battle Commission have decided for it to start in an hour or so, so we'll be loading up the Zoids now and heading out" Doc finished
An hour later – Battle field
As they approach the battle field, they were greeted by the sight of a whale king with a purple Elephander in front of it, the hatch open the and the Liger's platform rise up to the catapult.
"GO!! SHADOW!!" Drake shouted, the same way his father does when its his Zoid that launches from the catapult of the hover cargo.
The Liger came to a full stop and roared loudy as the Judge satalite Crash into the ground creating the usual crater around it.
"The area in a 10 mile radius is a designated Zoid battle field, all unauthorized personal are to leave immediately" and making sure the battle field was cleared "Zoid gears set Sanders and the Elephander vs the blitz team's Drake and the Liger Zero, Battle mode 0992, battle field set up, ready, Fight" The judge crossed arms and the battle started as the Liger Shadow charged towards the Elephander.
"Lets go Liger"
"Move it Elephander, lets do this, cannons locked on, fire" the Elephander fired his shots at the liger seeing this Drake activated his boosters and swerve in and out of them as he got ready his strike laser claw.
"Let go for it Liger STRIKE. LASER. CLAW"
The Liger leaped high into the air and strike it's laser energy filled claw onto a direct hit on the Elephander but was rebound by it's energy shield, which Sanders activated just in the nick of time.
"No way!!" Drake shouted in frustration as he got the Liger back up "Come on Liger lets try something else" he got the liger into a run encircling the Elephander as he activated his smoke discharger.
"Lets see sander dodge this" whereas sander said " Lets see what you got drake..." he ready the elephander into a stance and got ready for the liger to jump onto it at any moment
"Ha..., not surprise his expecting a close range attack" he stop the Liger and activate his cannons and took aim "Locked on, beam cannons fire" the shots hit direct hits onto the Elephander.
"What the!!, where did that come from" Sanders look around for the source when he was hit by the cannons once again and as he stared around to expect the next attack.
"His got sanders quite cornered up, sorry about that stoller after all you trained him for a long time" Bit said as he looked at the battle go on as Drake got the Liger concealed in the smoke as he encircle at different spots shooting at the Elephander
"Ya but once the smoke clears theres nothing to stop sanders from destroying him, so lets hope the kid got a plan"
"ya..."
Soon as expected by stoller the hide of the Elephander was still a little too thick for the cannons to penetrate and the smoke clears but unknown to Sanders, Drake got his blades out and activated ready for a backstab shot, the last of the smoke clears and Drake smirks " Lets go for it Liger, finish it, Shadowless blade attack" the booster activated and the Liger disappeared only to reappear in front of the elephander and just as its charged up its cannons, the Liger turn its head to look at it onto for the Elephander's side to explode.
"What the..." everyone in hover cargo exclaimed
"No way, command system froze when the heck he hit me..." Sanders said as he looked around in confusion.
"Battle over, battle over the winner is DRAKE!!" the judge announces
And thats the end of chapter 2 please R&R until next time
