Red Phoenix part 10…
Liger roared anxiously
as the Hover Cargo neared its destination.
Very faintly, Bit could hear the roar of the Konig Wolf, telling him
that Blitz was also anxious. Leena was
sitting in the main control room of the Hover Cargo. She had backed out of the battle when she
heard Sirius was fighting against them.
Sirius was a very good friend of hers, having saved her once from a
Backdraft members attack while Bit was still away. It wouldn’t have been right, Leena
thought, to attack someone who saved her.
She wasn’t I love with him, he was already taken by
“But here, mobilizing Liger Zero Jager. GO JAGER!”
The blue Zoid flew out of the Hover Cargo and landed at a run at the
same time was the Judge capsule hit the earth.
It opened to produce a white robot, the Judge.
“This area is a restricted Zoid battle field. Only Zoid personnel and pilots are
allowed. Warning, all unauthorized
personnel must leave the battlefield. Area scanned, battlefield, set up, The Blitz
Team vs. the Phoenix Team’s Zorro Squad,
“Where’s the enemy?”
Asked Bit as Liger searched the area. “BIT BEHIND YOU!” Yelled Jamie’s voice
over the intercom. Bit spun
around to see a blue Shadow Fox coming down on him. Before the pilot could hit,
Liger activated its boosters and got out of the way. “Damn, I missed.” Cursed the young female
pilot. She had long blue hair and
determined brown eyes. An orange head
band held the hair from her eyes she searched for Bit.
“Kiyone let me handle him.
Take care of the Blitz Team’s Shadow Fox.”
Kiyone nodded and turned her Water Fox towards Brad who was having
trouble with a Fire Fox, a red version of the Shadow Fox. The Fire Fox issued its smoke screen,
blocking Brad’s sight. Before Brad
could get a good aim on his target threw the smoke, his Zoid was knocked out of
commission by the Water Fox.
“Thanks Kiyone.”
“No problem Melody, besides, what happened to your Hel
Cat?”
“Got damaged by a Backdraft group member, luckily Fire Tiger was
there to lend me his Fire Fox.”
Kiyone nodded and started looking for the Konig Wolf, which was hiding
very well from their trackers. Melody
looked around towards the south and east as Kiyone took the west and south.
Meanwhile, Bit was
currently trying to get a Shadow Fox off his tail. Sirius was having a relatively easy time with
Bit, having trained with the world’s strongest Zoid pilot. “What’s with this guy, how can he
keep up with me?” Said Bit to
himself as Liger continued to run for its life.
“Nice try Bit, but you can’t beat me.” Came Sirius’
voice, which had changed from a calm nature to a gruff, dog like growl. The Fox started to run on the cliff wall,
balancing on the protruding rocks. The
Vulcan Gun raised itself from the Zoids back and started shooting madly at
Liger. Bit was shaken around in the
cockpit during the blows, but became still as Sirius stopped shooting all of a
sudden. It had been shot down, but not
knocked out. The rocks it had been
running on where blasted from underneath his feet, making the Fox fall. Liger stopped to face the Konig Wolf standing
in front of them, its gun barrels smoking.
“Whoa, thanks Blitz.”
Praised Bit as Blitz moved the Wolf closer. Liger turned around and roared as
Sirius’ shadow Fox shakily got to its feet. A barrage barred down upon them as the water
and fire Foxes started to shoot at them, almost hitting Sirius in the
process.
“Do you two
idiots mind watching where you’re shooting?” Yelled Sirius at the young pilots. The girls
apologized quickly, but as they were about to finish the battle, the Judge
sounded off. “Warning,
unauthorized Zoid has entered the battlefield, this battle is now canceled
until further notice, unknown Zoid please leave the battle…” But it was shot down before it could finish. Another capsule fell, revealing a black Judge
capsule. “It’s the Backdraft
Group!” Shrieked Leena as about
twelve Zabats grabbed the Konig Wolf and started to carry it towards the black
Whale King. “BLITZ! Oh no you don’t, your not taking
Blitz!” Liger fired the guns on
its cheeks, breaking the wires holding the Wolf. The Wolf fell and landed on the cliff, firing
at will at the retreating Zabats. Just
as a band of Backdraft Zoids were coming onto the battle field, a red and gold
Whale King flew down, startling the Backdraft Zoids. Just then, a familiar red Zaber Fang walked
right out of the Black Whale King, sporting a new long range rifle.
“It’s Polta!”
“Not Polta to my adversaries, I’m actually known as Fire
Tiger.”
The red Zaber Fang spun around and started shooting his own men, making
Altair, roar with anger. “That
traitor, he was working with the Phoenix Team Element Squad the whole
time!” Screamed Altair as one by
one his Zoids were shot down.
And the others were just perplexed. “He works for the Phoenix
Team?” Asked
Jamie. “Yep, since the war
on the Taliban back on Earth. He was known
as Fire Tiger, one of the Phoenix Team’s best Zoid pilots, but he left
after the war as he didn’t know what he was to do with himself. He only rejoined the Phoenix Team six years
ago when the Backdraft group came into power.” Jamie was perplexed even more, stunned by the
fact that they had been fooled. “I
think I’d better get out there to help them.” He finally stammered as he stood up to go to
his Reynos. Doc watched Jamie leave,
battling with another thought on his mind.
Unknown to his team, he had packed up another Zoid. A Shield Liger. He had once piloted it when the Blitz Team
was just starting out and he, his wife Tia, and Oscar had started the
team. Oscar had piloted a Reynos for the
team, himself the Shield Liger, and Tia a Lightning Saix. Tia had been killed by a Geno Breaker about
when Leena was six, Steve just didn’t have the heart to tell Leena,
knowing her. With that final thought,
Steve Toros stood up and headed to the front cargo hold to his Zoid.
“There’s
too many god damn Zoids! We have to
retreat!” Cried out Leena as she
tried to shoot down about six War Sharks.
“We can’t do that!
Remember what the Backdraft group does to pilots who refuse to
fight? They take and destroy their
Zoids, I think its better if we just fight cause then if we lose, all they do
is take them and leaves us an opportunity to take them back. In short, KEEP FIGHTING GOD DAMN IT!” Snapped Polta as he shot down four Hel
Cats. “I agree with you a hundred
percent there Fire Tiger.” Came a
familiar voice over the intercom. Leena,
Bit, Brad, and Jamie spun around to face a Shield Liger coming up behind
them. “It’s been a long time
Blue Lion, I had no idea you still knew how to pilot a Zoid.” Mocked Polta playfully as Dr. Toros brought
his Zoid up next to him. “I could say the same for you Fire Tiger, and
you still have the same Zaber Fang I see.
You’ve had that Zoid since the war.” Polta smiled.
Same old Blue Lion, not afraid to say what’s
on his mind. Polta chuckled,
making Steve fume. “What’s
so funny?” He demanded as Polta
continued to chuckle. “Oh nothing, just remembering the good old
days. But I’d better stop and
shoot, more Zoids are coming.” The
“OK, don’t blow a gasket on me Zorro, calm
down.” Fire Tiger said, blasting a
few Hel Cats. “We were just poking
a little fun. That’s
all.” But before Bit could enter
in the conversation, a Zaber Fang leapt up and was able to have a piece of
Liger pie until…
