"But still you shouldn't steal even if you have a valid reson so don't do that again"
"Ok... I understand, never steal no matter how desperate I get... so drake tell me a little about your life as the son of the most famous Zoid warrior"
"Well... my life is just like normal teens just that I get looked at by girls who want to date me and guys who want to be me a lot more then normal people"
"Oh... then one question how did you ever get another Liger Zero?"
"Well according to history, a thousand or so years ago, the Liger Zero was built in the sole purpose of a warfare that went on for quite a few year and hence the mast production at that time and one day my grand father, doctor toros manage to get the Liger Zero's data swearing to the Liger that it was just to built one for me and well here it is and the data wil be kept completely confidential and if there was a need it would be destroyed"
"Then what about the shadow CAS? I never knew it existed"
"it does not actually exist because you see.., the Zero armor was the basic armor, the jager for high speeds, the Schneider for close combat, and finally the panzer for long range combat, but they all have their faults like the Jager's lack of weapons, the Schneider will lock up if you can't synchronize with it well enough and the weight of the Panzer.
"I see but that still does not explain how the shadow armor came about.."
"Well my dad thought the other armors was a little advance for me, the Zero too plain and he might get mixed up if he want to make a fast escape after stealling my mom's cookies and I wanted a black and gold armor in tribute to my uncle brad and also because it was a little cool to have a black zoid, so my grandpa design me a sought of advance basic armor fitted for close range, long range, and mid range combat and thats roughly how the shadow CAS came about..." and they continue talking, as they neared the Hover Cargo, Drake notice that Stoeller's whale king was not there anymore and the sight that caught them was quite a weird sight, all the Zoids expect Bryan and Michael's were loaded and everyone expect Bryan and Micheal was standing in a circle discussing something, Drake and Claire parked the Zoids together and jump off the cockpits.
"Hey dad!" Drake shouted as he walk towards them with Claire following behind.
"Drake!!, where were you? We heard on the news of the Fuzzy pandas getting attack in the forest by a Liger Zero Shadow just now" Bit ask although Drake was sure there was something else that made his father worried that he was not with the,.
"Oh... about that... well... dad this is Claire she ah... stole some money from them but her Shield Liger was too damaged so I ah... help her ah... fought them..."
"I see... well I think you two better get into the hover cargo, we'll be leaving here soon" Bit said and with that he left his son and got back onto the Liger.
"Hey dad!, wait a minute" and Bit looks down to him "I thought we would be staying for another night"
"Sorry Drake, but a few things came up so we have too leave as soon as possible"
"Okay... dad" he turns to Claire and adds "Well we better get in, you can put your Shield Liger in my spot in the hover cargo, I feel like riding in my Liger for now..." they manage to get the shield liger into the Hover cargo without further damage to those already done, and drake goes to his mother to get some clothes for Claire.
"Hey mom do you still have some of your old clothes?"
"Why you need them for?" Leena ask as she hand over one of her old blue mini skirt and a white spaghetti strap shirt to him.
"They are for Claire thought maybe get her some clothes and all... since i've already helped her why not?" Drake finished and smiled as he left his mother to herself and went to look for Claire, finding her in the hanger looking at the damaged shield liger.
"Hey, here you are..., I got you some clothes" He hands over the clothes and says "my mom says you can keep them since they are a little too small for her now..., the bathroom is just out the door and straight down the way on second door on the right, you can take my room to if you want to sleep its the second door on the left from the toilet" finishing he smiles as usual and walks out of the hover cargo and hops into the Liger as he starts up the system.
Jamie's face turns up on the screen and says "Drake you ready to leave?"
"Yup lets go..." and with that the hover cargo started moving followed by the Zero Shadow, the Blade Liger and Shadow fox of Drake, Michael and Bryan since the cargo platforms can hold up till 7 Zoids only.
"Hey, Liger why do you think Dad wanted to leave so early anyway? After all we still have a day to relax till the next battle right?"
"Growl (I'm not too sure Drake)"
"Well I can't blame you after all you are only a Zoid right?"
"Growl (hey... but still you're right)"
"I know... Liger I know... well I may as well ask Bryan or Michael after all they were at the 'meeting' right"
"Growl (Ya i'll leave you to that)" and with that said Drake opened up a video link onto the screen to talk to both already warriors.
"Hey Bryan, Micheal"
"Whats up?" Michael greeted while Bryan just nodded.
"Well just now, what happen why did everyone decided to leave for home so early?"
"Not sure myself, but I did hear something about an unsanctioned battle later in the afternoon, mode 0999 apparently the Backdraft group from 17 years ago when me and Bryan were born, has come back or something and challenge the blitz team and stoeller and the elephander to a match"
"Wait a minute, you mean the one that was started up to steal ultimate X zoids like the berserk fury and dad's Liger Zero?"
"Ya thats the one" Bryan said as he brought his Shadow fox to the Liger's right while Michael did the same with his Blade Liger only bringing it to the left of the the Liger Zero.
"Oh... well... since dad and stoeller are going to be in it I think we don't need to be worried"
"Well now thats over, how about we have a race back to the base?" Bryan suggested
"Theres no way you guys can keep up with me in the Shadow"
"You want to bet about it Drake?" Michael ask and he charge forward a little so that Drake can see the back of the Blade Liger and thats when Drake notice something different immediately he exclaimed "Your dad got you the CP-12 Attack booster unit!!"
"Yup so you think if I can keep up with you now a not..."
"Of course but with the both of us going 320km/h... what about Bryan?" and almost in cue the Shadow Fox sped up to reveal its upgrade as well... a modified 30mm Laser Vulcan gun equipped with the Lighting saix's boosters on each side and wing stabilizers.
"No way... your dad got you an upgrade as well!!"
"Now we are all evenly match..."
"Yup, I better tell our fathers first" Drake said as he open a video link to the hover cargo it soon opened and Jamie's face appeared "Hey Drake, what do you need?"
"Well can you tell dad, uncle Leon and uncle Brad that me, Bryan and Micheal will be heading home first, we feel like having a race..." and Bit appeared behind Jamie and heard him and said "If I get to join as well..."
"Well since Bit is going... sure why not? I would love to see a race between some of the fastest Zoids we have" Leon said as he sat in a seat and waited for the race to start.
"Ok than..." Brad agreed as he took a sip from his ever present cup of coffee, Claire walked into the command room and ask "Whats going on?" as she rubbed the sleep off her eyes
"Well Drake, Bit, Michael and Bryan are having a race, wanna watch?" Jamie ask as he guesture to her a chair and with that Bit got into the Liger Zero and started up the systems. "Ok.. Jamie, get the Jager unit"
"Got it Bit" and soon the Zero armor came off replace with a blue set of armor.
"Liger Zero Jaeger CAS complete" and the platform raised to the catapult. "Zero Jager, Ready to launch".
Bit smirk and push the handle forward as the super fast blue Liger launch forward "GO!! JAGER!!" the Liger landed on all fours, using the momentem ran forward and got along side with the three other Zoids.
"Shit you dad, you are so unfair..." Drake grumble as he saw that the Liger was equipped with Jaeger.
"Well to bad than... Ready, Get set, GO!" and the four Zoids charge off into the early morning at a maximum speed of 330km/h.
Reaching the base in just a matter of minutes with Bit in first followed by Drake then Bryan and finally Micheal.
They all parked the zoids in the hanger and went into the living room as the adrenaline left their body shaking from the high speed race.
"Dad you. are a freaking cheater..." Drake cursed as he lied on the couch while the adrenaline left his body.
"What can I say, all those high speed battles with jack did paid off" and everyone laughed... as the Hover cargo parked into the Hanger an hour or so later...
