hey guys its been while sorry took so long to write this but I hope you enjoy
CHAPTER 2
"so our next battles coming up and its 6 shot dual?" I asked as doc nodded
Currently I sat in front of the large holographic monitor with brad and leena
The three of being the only on board and good zoid pilots, leon still has a broken arm and Jamie is…..well hes Jamie
"exactly but unlike liger zero everyone is going to be on an even playing field" doc said while I just tapped my finger
Geez ive only been here for 3 days and I'm already going through yet another battle, alright this should be easy right?
…
…
…
…
…
Yeah right we are going to fucking lose
"well what about that thing on the liger zeros tail then?" I asked as doc tapped his chin while Jamie quickly brought up a certain spec of liger zero
"hmmmm well what do you know how could I missed it, that's beam cannon" doc said as the image zoomed into the tail itself
"108mm hmmm that's just enough to pierce through a gustav's shell, admittedly your going to have to be within a 1km range but considering the battle grounds area your going to be in a some what tight situations" doc said as he pulled up the battle grounds
"well then guess ive got some target practice to do" I said standing up and slowly stretched my arms upwards cracking a couple of my bones back into place
"well before that Hamish I want you and brad to go into town for a bit and pick up some supplies" doc said as me and brad just shrugged
"sure not a problem" brad said as he finished his coffee
That has got to be his fifth coffee this morning, seriously how the hell does he drink that shit?
"uh uh uh one of you also have to take leena shopping" doc said as brad groaned and leena cheer
And me?
"NOT IT!" I yelled putting my thumb against my forehead
Now leena who had no idea what "not it" or "bags not" was(that is just terrible) just stared in confusion and brad who did know what it mean groaned
"damn it" he said as I laughed and pointed at him
"hah shame!" I grinned as he glared at me playfully
"sigh I will get my revenge on you one day" he said as I shrugged
"try as you might but be sure your revenge is just that, a revenge nothing else" I said cryptically
Well to leena, but everyone else knew spot on I was saying 'take it too far and I will wreck your face'
"well you three move along, you don't have all day" doc said as the three of us quietly moved out
LATER
After I drove (yes I can fucking drive, albeit not the best but brad was nice(evil) enough to give me a hands on driving) to the closest town which was about I don't know an hour or so away
I parked the jeep in a random carpark near a diner
"hey lets get something to eat before getting the stuff?" I asked
"aaaaaw but I want to get my shopping done first, before any floozy steals something that I want" leena said as I looked at her blankly
"da fucks a floozy?" I asked bluntly, but before leena could give her opinion on the subject brad quickly jumped
"floozy is what you could call a lady of the night and sometimes in the right or wrong places days" brad said as I just face palmed at the ridiculous meaning
Means so much and yet I still feel entitled to just face palm at this
"well you two go do whatever I'm going inside" I said as I made my way into the diner not noticing that brad and leena quickly walked off
Thankfully doc had given me a bit of cash prize from the last battle, admittedly after some costs I was only left with at least $150, which to most if not all zoid pilots that was the shittiest pay you can ever get
But to me it was something I could look forward having on me and that was some cash
So walking into the diner I quietly found my self an empty booth and looked through the menu
Damn I'm hungry cause half of this looks fucking gooooooood!
After a while the waitress came by and took my order
Pancakes for the win!
While I was waiting I took out my phone, which I was still thankful was still in my pocket and decided to lay some random game I downloaded before all this thing happened
It was called ninja arashi, it was a cool little mobile game where your ninja and well you're a ninja what else is there to it? (this is a real mobile game by the way)
After a couple deaths and progressing through a couple levels I looked up to see the waitress making her way towards me with my pancakes in hand
I was looking forward to such a good looking meal, so I closed my phones screen and slipped it into my pocket
6 stacks high covered in maple syrup and icing sugar the pancakes shined, it was a thing of pure beauty
And it was ruined
"tsh listen here!" yelled a patron as his yell made the waitress jump in fright making the plate of my pancakes fall and crash on the ground
The guy didn't even say any form of apology and just just rudely looked at the waitress
"do you mind we are having a conversation!" the guy yelled
I took a deep breath and slowly slid out of my booth and walked towards the rude guy
And then I grabbed him by the back of head and pulled him downwards smashing his head against the table
I watched as the guy fell to the ground unconscious while his friend glared at me
"WHY YOU SON OF A-ack!" before the rude friend even finish that sentence I threw a punch directly into the guys throat
He stumbled backwards holding his throat in pain, I quickly grabbed the guys head with both hands an pulled him downwards into my rising knee
The guy fell to the ground backwards as he too like his friend was knocked out
"don't fuck with my food" was all I said as I casually picked through the first guys pockets and pulled out a wad of bills
Taking 4 bills out I casually threw the rest to the waitress
"sorry that should pay for the mess" I said as the waitress looked scared but then sighed
"well best be going" I said making my way out no food in my stomach but I didn't want to get into anymore trouble than I have to be
"wow that was mildly violent" I heard a voice point out before I left
My head moved to the source as I saw a very attractive woman smiling at me casually, why does she look familiar?
"uh well they shouldn't of screwed with my meal then" I said casually as I just continued to make way out of the diner
It appears the woman followed me cause as soon as I walked of the diner I found the woman wrapping her arm around my own
"well since you kinda saved my life how about I treat to something to eat then?" the girl suggested with a smirk on her face
"uuuuuuuh I, alright then fine" I said and just like that she casually dragged me away
Still why does this girl remind me of someone I know?
LATER
3rd pov
"hmmmm wheres Hamish?" leena asked after a long hour and a half of shopping she soon remembered Hamish
"don't….know!" brad said as he gently piled on the amount of shopping clothes and supplies they needed.
"phew no more back breaking work for me" brad said as he stretched
"I'm going to go and find Hamish, you stay here brad" leena said as she quietly walked off to find their missing teammate
Brad on the mean time sighed and jumped in the backseat of the jeep and laid down
"a few minutes of Z's should do me some good" he said to himself as he closed his eye for a bit.
Leena looked around the market area for quite a while until she came to a certain tavern
Tapping her chin in thought she didn't think this would be Hamish's type of scene so didn't really go inside
That Is until she heard a commotion inside as someone was thrown out of the window
"aaaaaaaaaaaah!" the guy said in pain as leena blinked in surprise as she saw it was Hamish
"Hamish!?" she yelled in shock as Hamish slowly got up and shook his head
"oh hey leena, excuse me while I finish my business" Hamish said as cracking his neck and spat out a bit of blood and then quickly ran back inside the tavern
Leena quickly followed in fear but stopped at the door as she watched as a large bar fight was initiated
"OI FUCKWIT!" Hamish shouted as he tackled into one of the fighting men as the two hit the ground Hamish quickly straddled him and started to punch the guy in the face a couple times before he was pulled and thrown off into a table
Hamish slowly got up and shook his head as he glared at the guy who threw him off who looked about 7 feet tall
Leena expected Hamish to back off but watched as he grabbed a chair nearby and threw it right at the 7ft giant
The giant quickly blocked the chair but watched as Hamish had picked up the same table he fell on and spun around smashing the large wooden object into the side of the giants head who went down on impact
Hamish took a couple breaths and watched as another patron was running right at him with a knife over head
"I don't think so!" yelled the same woman who Hamish had met as she threw herself up and landed right on the charging man's back smashing him right into the floor with ease
"geez I am never getting a drink with you ever again" Hamish stated as the woman chuckled
"so you say but you never know you could find yourself with me again" she said as Hamish shook his head
Now everything slowly calmed down and most of the knocked out people were dragged out of the tavern by their friends or by the barman
Leena quickly walked in while everything was calm and made an immediate B line to Hamish and the woman
"Hamish what the hell happened!?" leena yelled as Hamish turned to her and sighed
"bar fight, now that you're here I guess my time in this place is done" Hamish said as he then turned to the woman who in leena's head literally called the definition of a floozy
"well I guess I'll be seeing you later on the battlefield naomi" Hamish said as the now named naomi smiled at the novice pilot(its very true)
"hmph you could say that again" naomi said winking at him
Leena on the side lines of such an act felt a bit annoyed by the two flirting(what she thinks) and decided in a huff to walk out of the tavern without Hamish
Hamish who watched this was a bit confused and decided to quickly jog after the more temperamental teammate
Back 1st pov
"yo leena wait up!" I yelled as she stopped and gave me a glare
"oh now you want to talk to me?" she said as attitude was all over her tone
"uuuuuuuuuh I don't think I understand?" I said as she just huffed in annoyance
"whatever come on brads waiting for us back at the car" leena said as she quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me away
Either someone must have hit me really badly or I'm missing something here
LATER
"so let me get this straight you met the red comet naomi flugeul by chance and she took you out for lunch and you got into a bar fight because someone at the tavern you were eating at decided to bad touch naomi?" brad summarised as both Jamie leon and me sat on the couches
"that's most of it, theres some stuff in there you missed but yeah pretty much" I said drinking my can of soda
"hahahahaha well aren't you an interesting one your first time in town and your already in a bar fight" leon said with a grin
"it must have been scary" Jamie said as I shook my head
"if you think it was scary, you should of seen the 7ft giant, dude was stacked, like seriously he was someone you wouldn't want to mess with" I said as Jamie seemed to shiver
"so what did you do when you saw him, run away screaming?" brad asked with a smirk as he sipped his coffee(9x one this day)
"oh I smashed a table over his head" I said simply as everyone paused
"wait what, you smash a table on his head?" leon asked
"yeah and it wasn't one of those cheap light ones either, the damn thing had to way at least I don't 25 maybe 50kg's" I said as I remembered how I picked it up
"how did you even lift that?" Jamie asked in shock
"Jamie I was angry and when I get angry things get lighter or in this case I get stronger" I stated
"ok I'm never making you angry" Jamie said as I chuckled
"its not that big a deal jamie just don't mess with my food or stuff" I warned as he nodded
"well other than that, what did you think of naomi?" brad asked as I sighed
"where to start, well the girls cool headed, meaning even in hard times shes going to straight up be calm, her attitude to zoids are as if there nothing but mercenary jobs and the only reason my guess for her to be taking anytime for team battles is most likely because it's a hobby to her" I stated seriously
I remembered who that girl was naomi flugeul something of an interesting and very calm acting girl who just loves to toy with her opponents especially when it came to her famous show downs
"I have an idea on how to deal with her but the problem is leena isn't going to like it" I said as I rubbed my eyes in annoyance
"I'm not going to like what Hamish?" I heard as I froze slightly hearing leena's voice
"oh shit" I muttered turning and seeing an annoyed looking leena with her arms crossed
"well Hamish tell me this so called plan on dealing with that floozy" leena said as she looked really annoyed
Oh boy, fuck it might as well tell
"its simple really brad goes after the rookies, while you and me go after naomi" I said as leena blinked in surprise and then grinned widely
"oh I like that plan, I like it indeed ehehehehehe" she then started to giggle as she marched off
"she didn't even hear the bad part of the plan" I said frankly as I knew she was going to be pissed if she did
"well whats the bad part?" Jamie asked as I sighed
"leena's the distraction while I go for the kill" I stated as everyone fell silent
…
…
…
…
…
"in your defense leena should have heard the full plan before walking off" brad said sipping his coffee
"thank you anyway whats even worse is despite having a fast zoid like mine her gun sniper is 95.99% accurate every time, so that's why I'm going to need leena to be a distraction and something else as well" I said as leon looked interested
"what do you mean?" he asked
"simple if leena is hit and not in combat freeze she could shoot the ground under naomi's feet, that is if she isn't in combat freeze I mean" I said as leon nodded along with the plan
"he does have a point notably a very risky plan but if done right it could work out, but what if that doesn't happen then what?" Jamie asked as I sighed
"then I'll just have to wing it all the way then" I said as I leaned back and rubbed my forehead as I thought about the oncoming fight ahead
Now when it came to bit he would just chuck liger zero a gun on his back and just shoot the cliff where naomi was but he'd still have to dodge her shots, admittedly they were counted as flukes in the show but I have a feeling that liger zero may have had his hand in that ordeal.
"sigh well I'm going go to and take some target practice" I said as i stood up and made my way out towards the garage
Hopefully the practice can take my mind on the future battle, long shot I admit but knowing me I'll most likely find some way to not fuck this one up.
LATER
*boom!*
"ok now that was awesome" I said as I managed to get the controls down on the beam canon on ligers tail the aiming took a while is you of course took into account the singed covered rock into account
Hearing the growl saying 'getting better' made me smile as I nodded
Seeing at the beam canons range was really 1km I slowly made liger step back every couple time after every 2nd shot until it got up to 1km
At that I wasn't surprised that the beam canon's range was actually further than 1km but instead 1.75km if I rounded it down a bit
So smiling and finding the new range I decided to do more shooting practice until it got dark
Deciding that was the day me and liger went back to base, liger was in his usual spot and I just sat off to the side on a random crate as I just continued to think to myself about what could be the best plan
And all reality I just had nothing at this point other than my first one cloak and dagger
"you look exhausted" hearing the familiar voice of leon I looked up as he casually smiled walking over to me
"no kidding target practice for about 3 hours can do that to a guy, especially when you have your first official zoid fight starting tomorrow" I stated as leon just chuckled
"that is true but I gotta say I kinda expected to you to be acting more pumped, I mean your going against the beautiful naomi the best sniper of this generation, any young newbie pilot would be jumping in excitement to fight her, even if they have less than 5% chance of winning against them" leon said as I gave him a blank look
"sigh yeah well unlike most I don't really want to fight her" I said sagging my shoulders as she was just too well-
"what don't think you can hit a girl?" leon pipped up as I rolled my eyes
"no I can, don't like it but I can and also I don't want to fight because the chance that I do win everyone is going to call it a fluke, and as much as I would like to win but I don't want to fight her and beat her on a fluke" I stated is was obvious
"sigh I guess I thinking too much out this, I guess I'll wing the fuck out of it then" I stated as I got up cracking my neck as I headed back inside as I left leon in the hanger
Man I need some sleep
Later
The next morning
"you ready for this one liger?" I asked as his response was a growl, 'I'm itching for a fight'
"glad one of us is excited" I stated as I made sure everything was operational or tried to, god damn it jamie I ask for help and all you do is give me bullshit reasons why not to help!
'hes just scared of me' I heard liger growl as I rolled my eyes
"and I wonder why, I mean its not like you infused a sudden fear in the kid, oh wait YOU DID!" I shouted at liger as I ignored the fact the damn thing read my mind
'shut up, we ready?' liger growled as I looked at the math annnnnnd-
"just about to have an aneurysm sooooo yes we are good" I stated as it was true, I think
After that I leaned in the cockpit as I went through the plan again in my head as I knew naomi would get to the closest and highest spot and remembered since I have a laser weapon I am only regulated to only use it six times and that was it, which was completely fine that is if the plan goes to shit at least I can do something about it.
"alright team we are here!" I heard doc said as through the mobile bases sound systems
"remember the plan and stick to it, first off is brad, leena and Hamish" I heard jamie speak as everything started to move
"alright sigh lets get this shit over and done with" I muttered pulling a on a pair of brown leather gloves I found at the base, I asked about it and it wasn't anybodies so took em.
As everyone launch I quickly grabbed the controls as I narrowed my eyes as I heard but ignored the counter as we were launched into the air
'wooooooohoooooo!' liger growled as we were in the air for about a good 5 seconds before we hit the ground with a skidding thud as the dust kicked up around us
'WE GOTTA DO THAT AGAIN!' liger roared as he pulled his up and well roared
"i swear to god if it wasn't for the fact you actually talking to me I'd think you were a kid instead of a zoid" I muttered as liger just grunted
"nice entrance Hamish could do less with the show boating but gotta say nice one" brad said over the comms as I groaned
"just, can we do this please?" I asked as I moved liger zero to where three gun snipers stood, two were blue and the last one was red
"well well well if is mr knight in shining armor, come to save me again?" naomi said as her face popped up in front of me
"sigh can we please not do this now?" I asked as she just smirked at me
"ooooh and why not? I mean come on to think I would see the man who saved my life would come and track me down my my my should I put a restraining order on you?" she said as I was starting to get annoyed
"lets see where this leads first and we'll go from there" I stated as she just grinned
"that sounds perfect and hey don't worry I'll finish this fast" she said as her screen shut off and I sighed
"great just great" I muttered
"grrrrrr that damn floozy!" I heard leena said as her face popped up next to me
"leena calm down getting angry isnt going to help" brad said as I couldn't help but roll my eyes
Yeah got that right
"just keep to the plan leena and if we win who knows maybe we can go out for dinner" I suggested as with a shrug as leena looked at me with red cheeks
"w-w-wait are you-!?" before leena could finish her question the judge finally came down, took em long enough
"alright brad you know what to do, leena keep to the right and find cover" I stated quickly as my hands tightened around my controls as I waited for the judge to say go and ignored his general monologue
Come on come on come on come on come-
"fighters ready!" hearing the words my my eyes widened as my egaerness disappeared and nervousness settled in
I'm about to go head to to head with an extremely experienced opponent….I'm fucked
"battle begin!"
And like that my eyes seemed to go fuzzy as I acted quickly sprinting forwards as naomi's gun sniper quickly turned and fled as I ran after at full speed as I flew right past the two other gun snipers, shit looks like I'm winging it
Switching to a 3rd pov
As soon as the judge said go leena was about to move but froze mid movement as Hamish and liger zero flew forwards top speed as he basically left both her and brad in the dust while he chased naomi's tail, and I this case literally
And that thought suddenly pissed leena off immediately
"ah screw it! brad change of plans you take the left I got the right!" leena quickly said as she charged forwards while brad gritted his teeth as he quickly aimed at the left gunsniper as he saw they werent moving, most likely because of Hamish sudden movement as he shot past them
Firing two shots that brad was sure would hit well hit, the pilot in the left gun sniper yelled in shock as she suddenly her gun sniper was in combat freeze
"what!? but that was just two shots!" the girl yelled as she slammed her fist on the screen as she was officially out
Mean while in the other gun sniper, the girl inside watched what happened to her friend and was about to jump in but the suddenness of the dibicen running at her made the girl freeze as it was coming at her fast and before she could react her gun sniper was suddenly shot into the air by the dibicen's charge as it hit and smashed through a couple rock fixtures as her gun sniper was quickly buried causing her to have a combat freeze
"what oh come on!" the girl exclaimed in shock as she was taken out so easily, naomi promised them a for sure win not an instant lose
leena felt allot of pride from her achievement and brad well he was surprised but happy he wasnt useless this time
But now that their focus is away from the other two they could now focus on what Hamish was doing running off chasing naomi
"grrrr when I get my hand on that idiot!" leena screeched to herself as brad couldn't help but feel bad for the in coming onslaught Hamish was going to face
"god rest his soul" was all brad was aloud to say
Back to 1st pov
"Why the hell am I doing this stupid shit!" I yelled to myself as I continued to chase after naomi through the mountain ranges as her gun sniper was just a bit faster than me
'well lets just shoot her then' liger roared slightly as I shook his head
"no can do, we never practiced moving and shooting, so we are most likely going to miss more than hit, and I'm not using them unless I need to" I stated to liger as he growled again not liking it but understanding what I was talking about.
As we continued to run I couldn't help but feel uneasy, I mean why was naomi trying to lose me or better yet take a crack at me I mean she would only need 5 seconds to slip into sniper mode and boom I'm down so why is she-suddenly my eyes widened as I quickly pulled the brakes as liger skidded to a stop
'what the hell are you doing!?' liger growled as I narrowed my eyes
"shes leading us into a trap, I remembered from the morning game plan that the mountains are dangerous to our large zoids so if try to climb the pathways we might suffer and instant landslide and the only reason why naomi hasn't met any yet is because her gun snipers weight is drastically lighter and her stomps arent-shit!" as quickly as I said that I quickly turned and jumped down as liger started to slide down the mountain as I heard loud boom behind me
Quickly acting quickly I activated ligers left laser claw digging it into the mountain side as ligers body quickly moved around it turning as we faced up the mountain, quickly punching the boost jet on ligers back we flew right up as large rock landslide appeared right beside us as I we finally mad it to the top liger and me jumpped into the air and landed in the middle of the flat top as we skidded for a long moment and stopped
As soon we stopped I quickly found naomi's gun sniper in sniper mode quickly using that chance I brought up ligers tail and fired six times and watched as all six of them hit the ground in front and around naomi's gun sniper, as quickly as she could naomi switched back to normal mode and quickly turned around to change into sniper mode, don't think so!
Launching liger forward boosting as I activated laser claws as I leaped into the air as I poised liger to strike down it was in the ground right in the line of naomi's sniper barrel.
"hmph six shots and one laser claw strike and you still cant hit me, wow your aim is terrible" naomi said over the speakers as I grinned
"who said I was aiming for you?" I asked as I seemed to stun naomi long enough to change the jet boost to the left as liger zero jumped again pulling my embedded claw from the ground as it appeared to happen slow motion as cracks appeared all around her gun sniper as the ground suddenly caved in as her gun sniper started to slide down the mountain side as rocks slammed into her zoid until she hit the ground and then nothing
Slowly moving over to the edge as we saw a half buried of naomi's gun sniper, thankfully it was her bottom half that was buried
"dont think that this was a fluke you hear naomi, I did everything on purpose" I said through the comms as her face appeared on my screen as she looked a bit bruised
"y-you knew the mountain was unstable didn't you, you tricked me into leading you here" naomi said as I shook my head
"actually to be honest that was an impulse decision, sorry got nervous until the round started" I stated as naomi had a smirk on her face
"well damn, to think a random kid defeated me" she said as I shook my head
"dont put yourself down girl you had me thinking of ways to take you down and I gotta say most of them were mainly what people call flukes and I didn't want people to know that I won because of a fluke of luck" I stated as naomi's face went blank and then she laughed
"so you've been thinking about me the entire time ey, my my my well don't you know how to make a lady blush" she said with a saucy grin as I rolled my eyes
"whatever you say naomi, seeya!" I said as I ended the message and quickly started to make my trek back to mobile base
Huh for some reason I have a sudden feeling of dread washing over me, weird
Later
Huh you know I kinda half expect her to lose her shit with me but this is ridiculous
"you damn idiot why the hell did you go off, I thought we were going with the plan but nooooooo you just impulsively ran forward not thinking twice as as you just ran after naomis damn tail!" leena yelled at me as I was now sporting a fairly decent sized hand print on my face, that really hurt
"sorry I kinda panicked at the last second" I stated as I really was sorry
"ok calm it down leena look on the bright side at least we won" jamie commented as leena turned and glared at the shorter boy as he jumped
"oh is that so jamie, we won huh for some reason I still feel like I havent won!" leena shouted as jamie shook on his feet, oh boy here we go
"if thats so how aboutyou take up Hamish's offer" I heard brad said as I looked at him in confusion, what offer?
"eh hmmmmmm well ok then" she said as I looked at her in confusion
"wait hold it for a second, what offer?" I asked as I had no idea what they were talking about
"dont you remember? You did offer leena to got to dinner if we won the battle and well we won the battle" brad said as my eyes widened, wait hold on that offer was for everyone to go to dinner not a-
"then its a date! Pick me up later in my room about 7 and we'll go out!" leena said as I stared at her blankly as she walked off
Why do I have a feeling that I just started something by accident?
"well you really dug yourself a hole now" brad said as I rolled my eyes
"it wasn't like I asked her out on a date" I stated as brad smirked at me
"but didn't you?" brad asked as I groaned
"screw it don't care!" I said as I gave up, fine I'll take her out on a date then, for fucks sake!
ok this is a wrap I hope you all liked this one and I will admit this took about 5 days to write, 2 days of writing half of it then getting writers block for the fight scene with the zoids, cause lets be honest writing about piloting zoids when you personally have no idea how they work is really really sketchy so I had to do with what I could with what I had and in so that was the rest of the 3 days
the only reason why I haven't posted is because ive been more focused on other fics lately soooooo yeah this fic is not a priority to me, so expect long updates
other than that I hope you enjoyed this and please before you go don't forget to leave a
