Chapter 4
Warning sirens started to sound. Soldiers started rushing to their battle stations to prepare for the worst. Bud, Ranma and Naomi arrived in the control just in time to get the situation.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
"Sir! Someone has hijacked one of the experimental Wolves and is now running rampage in the town!" one of the young ladies incharge said. "Montel wants permission to attack.
Bud was angry. How dare someone steal his teams own ordinace. "No! Tell him he needs to watch the coast. Order Wolf team to mobilize and disable Red-One with their cannons." His visage turned dark. "If they can't do that... They have permission to aim for the cock-pit."
One of the girls manning radar stood up in protest. "Sir! We are just civil defense, you can't give permission to execute the guilty! It's inhuman."
Ranma was suddenly in front of her, staring down at her with emotionless eyes. "We defend this city at all cost. If we cannot disable so the accused can stand a fair trial, then we have no choice but to execute a command as such." He softened as she sat then spoke to her more privately. "Ya gotta realize that Bud hates making choices like that. It effects him more than you think."
"Sorry sir."
"Don't worry about it."
The three blue Command Wolf AC's quickly speeded down the streets to meet up with the renegade Red-One. Two of them split up doing down opposite streets to flank Red-One while the other charged ahead.
Meanwhile, the red experimental Command Wolf continued to attack surrounding buildings and military tanks as they approached. A pair of of 280mm rockets fired from the MRL and started to spiral down a street, impacting upon a fuel tanker-truck causing a huge explosion that destroyed the buildings around it.
'Gotta get outta here,' the pilot thought in a paniced mindset, sweating behind the controls. 'Gotta get outta here!'
Another pair of rockets fired, destroying a tank and another building. More tanks erupted in flames from 50mm slugs tearing into their armor. Soldiers and civilians scrambled in the street trying to evacute and take cover from fires and falling debri.
An impact on the side of the zoid caused it to stumble to the side from the sudden attack.
"This is the C.D.F. (Civil Defense Force)!! You are ordered to cease fire and turn yourself in peacefully. The first attack was only a warning and we are instructed to use deadly measure if you refuse." Wolf-Leader said over the comm net. He recieve no reply.
"You have been warned. Open fire men!"
120mm cannons roar and blasted the front and sides of Red-One, rocking the Zoid back and forth until a cloud of smoke obscured their vision. Wolf-Leader looked pleased.
"Cease fire Wolf-Two and Three. I think we got him." A rocket flew from the smoke and impacted Wolf-Leader's side, locking his combat system and disabling his mecha. Red-One emerged from the smoke, a little worse for wear but basically unscathed.
Naomi was impressed. "He's a better pilot than I thought."
"Report from Wolf-Two that Wolf-Leader is down and their cannons have little or no effect sir!"
Bud cursed. "Fuck! I forgot we reinforced the armor on those variants."
"Wolf-Two is down sir! No response from ... Wolf-Three reports that Wolf-Two's cockpit is destroyed sir."
The whole room was speechless. Many of the girls gasped in horror while the men, friends of the pilot bowed their heads in prayier.
Bud was uncharacteristically emotionless. "Tell Wolf-Three to execute the pilot. If he tries to run, do not follow out of the city limits."
"Yes'sir, but..."
"DO IT!"
"Aye sir."
He turned and exited the command room, Naomi and Ranma watching him in silence.
Red-One continued to evade Wolf-Three, who chased him as ordered up until the city limits. But that didn't stop the pilot, enraged at his comrades untimely death as he continued to lay long-range fire with his cannons, nailing the heavily armored wolf but not hitting the main target.
"This is Wolf-Three... I lost him."
Ranma replied. "Report back. It's the military's problem now."
"Aye, sir.."
"You did the best you could, Sanders.."
Out in the desert, another drama was unfolding with the stolen zoid and the pilot of a shield liger. But that didn't concern the C.D.F.
Bud stood calmly in front of Montel as the blackman degraded him.
"What the fuck were you thinking?! You should of sent me ya idiot! I would of tooken out that jerk like nothing!"
"You you couldn't." Bud said emotionlessly. "Remember that I designed that zoid variant to survive medium-grade beam weaponry. Do you think you could take on something that could handle what you can dish out?"
"Nah, I guess but my point is---"
"Shut the fuck up!" Bud shouted. "I know what your point is, but ya gotta understand that even though we are friends we have a job to protect this city from the Empire, and if I'm not mistaken they'll be attacking within the month so you better start getting things together."
Montel nodded, still upset.
Sigh. "I know you wanted to fight after so long a wait, but how would the God of Death feel if he abandoned his post while the enemy sneaks behind him skipping their fate?"
"Your right." Montel grinned. "I'm sorry Bud."
"That's a'ight my niggah." They exchanged urban handshakes.
"Let's get something to eat, I'm hungry."
The Civil Defense Force started to re-evaluate their situation. An Empirial soldier infiltrating their own HQ and stealing their own weaponry was a big shock to them all. With the support from the residents and businesses of New Helic, the C.D.F. was supplied with whatever they needed to keep the city safe.
As arms master, Buddy didn't ask much from the populace. Since Wolf-One and Two were rendered useless after the battle, he scrapped the mecha only to requisition similiar replacements with more armor.
Red-One was completely lost, destroyed in the desert by a Shield Liger as Buddy found out from Capt. Hermen. It was soon replaced by two all new Zoids that were specially requested to be researched and developed for the C.D.F. with special permission from the President herself.
These were humanoid type Zoids, specially designed to move easily through the streets while having enough firepower to stop zoids in their tracks.
The first design was made specifically for urban combat. The Vigger-Chrauler MK-IV Tomahawk. It stood around 40ft tall, around the size of an unarmed Command Wolf and weighed around 30 tons. It's powered by a Vigger MT400 thermonuclear fusion reactor developing 2880+ hp. Though small in comparison to the heavy Zoids of the empire, it's armament surely made up for that. Instead of hand manipulators it was armed with twin Mauler PBG-11 liquid-cooled electrically charged particle projection cannons, otherwise known at PPCs. The torso was mounted with an array of weapon combinations. Two bays housed 24 80mm rockets, 12 long-range missles or LRM's, and 4 fire-retardent missles for civil purposes. Twin Astra TZ-II gun clusters, mounted on each side of the torso, housed 1 25mm machine gun, 1 pulse laser, 1 flame thrower and a 180mm grenade launcher. The left shoulder mounted a 6-pack of anti-aircraft stinger missles while the right mounted a spotlight for night search.
The second design was made purely as an anti-zoid system. The Vigger-Chrauler MK-X Defender is a similiar design of the Tomahawk. It is powered by a Vigger MT450XL thermonuclear fusion reactor putting out around 3500hp. Deciding to make the zoid more maneuverable, techicians installed twin jump-jet units into the legs making them capable of launching 300ft into the air in a full-powered jump. A "T" shaped antenna, was installed giving the mecha a 500 mile radar range. It only had one weapon which the whole mecha was designed around. Replacing each arm were twin Erlikon 100mm liquid-cooled high-speed autocannons that fired a mix of high-velocity transuranium slugs, tungsten sabot penetrators and tracer rounds at a rate of 3000 rounds per minute. Since those were the only weapons, the ammunition was placed in the left/right torso sections and fed through an internal feeder system.
Two of each new zoid designs were produced in record time and immediately assigned to the Civil Defense Force.
It was getting dark and Naomi was just returning from her position atop the mountain. As she stepped onto the base she was greated with the most strangest sight she has ever seen.
A black humanoid-type Zoid slowly dancing about the base proper in intricate patterns that seemed like a type of ballet. After careful study, she realized that what she was watching was a type of fighting style. But how could a zoid move like that? she thought. The black zoid moved in ways that were impossiable for a Zoid, humanoid-type or not, could do. Something itched in the back of her mind that it wasn't just any Zoid.
"Hey Naomi!" She jumped out of her Gun Sniper to the ground below.
"Strange," she said, still entranced by the black zoid along with the others slowly gathering to watch. "Never seen anything like it."
Buddy looked at her strangely, then looked at Weltall. Then her, then Weltall again. He shrugged.
"It's impressive when you first see it, but you never want to face it in combat. Especially if Ranma is piloting it." She looked at him strangely.
"You mean Ranma pilots that Zoid?" He shook his head.
"It's not a Zoid. Definately not." He sighed. She needed to know. "It's proper designation is Weltall, a mobile suit, or Gear as it was actually called. There were 'many' gears were it came from, but this one was .. special." She looked confused.
"Special? If there were many like it, how come this one is special?"
Bud shrugged. "What I ment was that there were many types of gears. This one, Weltall, is one of a find." He watched Weltall perform a leap and began to do a mid-air kata from his school of martial arts. "This one actually... called Ranma to it, as if wanted to meet with the one it belonged to."
"You gotta be crazy." she said, eying him skeptically for a while, before watching Weltall's demonstration. She didn't see Buddy slide up behind her.
He had this perverted grin on his face. "Crazy enough to do this!" He grabbed a handful of firm-round Naomi ass.
"EEEEKK!!!"
SMASH!!
"Pervert!"
CRASH!
"Leech! "
KA-PoWE!!
"MOLESTER!"
"Ugghh... Thaz riiiiiight!" He slapped her ass before passing out.
Montel's sonar suddenly goes off. "huh? Hey you gettin' this, guys?" he says to the 3 DS Wolves sitting next to him on the sea floor.
"I got sonar ping also sir."
"Copy that Sir. I also have active sonar trace of a large vessel heading towards us and closing slowly."
"Copy Black-leader."
Montel switched to long-range laser induction communications. "HQ - this is Seaside, we have contact with a large vessel slowly heading on course Five-Seven-Two. Copy that, over."
One of the communcations girls answered. "Roger that Black-Leader. We have reports of icebergs in the area. Capt. Herman and some of his men have gone to check on it. It is probably nothing."
"I doubt icebergs give off submarine sonar signal's, Sergent." Montel replied. "Inform the President and Bud of the situation. I'll track it as it starts to approach."
"Copy that Black-Leader."
"10-4."
She switched channels to the presidental communique. "This is C.D.F. HQ calling Mt. Osa defense base, please respond, over." Static was her reply until she got a vid-audio reply.
"This is Mt. Osa base. Go ahead Civil Defense."
"Sir! Rumor has it that the President is on base. I must speak to her on request from Commander Montel!" There was a moment pause.
"The President just departed back to New Helic City."
"Copy that Osa base. Over and out."
She sighed. Time to contact Buddy.
"Sergent!" Another girl called her.
She looked annoyed. "What is it?!"
"Mt. Osa is under attack!"
C.D.F. facility was designed to house defense hardware and personnel. Like military facilities, it also had a mess hall and recreational facilities.
The rec. room was the exact place were Bud, Ranma and Naomi would be found at a time like this, since their duties were mostly assigned in the day-time. Ranma watched impassively as Bud and Naomi went at it in a game of chess; a game they both were good at and had no upper-hand in. In Ranma's opinion, they both sucked.
But, the game was just something to concentrate on as Naomi hears about the universal truth about the treo of young men from different demensions. Naomi really wasn't buying it.
"Your full of shit. Pawn takes Knight."
Buddy stared straight ahead at her, not really paying attention to the game. "White bishop takes queen. Bad move babe. Think what you will, but what I say is the truth. I place my life on it." She still looked skeptical.
"Rook takes black bishop." she was mad because he took her queen. "Put you life on some out-worldly story that no one would really believe? You must be more of an idiot than I thought. Maybe all that blood that's suppose to go to your head goes to your crotch instead, pervert." He moved his rook in front of her king, 5 rows away from it.
"I don't appreciate being called a pervert, even though it's damn true." He said. "Check."
She moved her rook infront of her king. He has no choice but to take it or I'll take his rook and put him in checkmate, she thought. "Heh! Travelling demensions using some sort of device to actually 'fold' space and time. I'll only believe some crap like that if it happens to me." Bud smirked.
"Better what out what you wish for. Sometimes it really comes true." A viz screen appeared next to him. "What is it Ruri?"
A short pale-skinned girl with silver-hair and strange eyes reports to Bud. "Commander. Seaside reports sonar readings of a large underwater craft heading towards New Helic Port. He also believes that they have shot down a squard of Pteras headed by Captain Herman." she said in an emotionless voice. "Seaside request instructions."
"Instruct Seaside to monitor the craft until it reached the shore, then to ask for further instructions. Do not engage the enemy." Bud said.
"Aye Sir. Also, Osa base is underseige by Emperial mecha. Orders?" He shook his head.
"The city is our main priority. Unless we get goverment orders to assist, we'll just sit back and watch."
"10-4 Commander. Command out."
"Looks like the Empire will be attacking soon." He said, turning back to the board only to find it slightly altered in Naomi's favor. "Hmm..."
"Well? It's your turn, Bud-man." Naomi said confidently. Ranma had this funny look and smile that made her a little nervous, as if he knew something she didn't.
"Oh, I might as well take my turn then." He picked up his queen, and moved it diagnally until it replaces her rook in front of her king. "Check."
She watches him turn to leave the room. "Where you going? I'm about to take your queen!" He turned and smiled.
"You think so?"
She looked over the board. Her king was in it's original place. Empty squares on each side and on diagnals. She couldn't move out of the way so she only could take the queen. So she does.
"Check." Ranma states. She looked at him.
"What do you mean, check? I took his queen and..." He pointed at the rook 5 rows in front of her king. "Mate." She hung her head.
Ruri turned to the camera. "Baka."
"Capt. Saotome. Reports from Mt. Osa say that the military has depolid the ZG and has wiped out 1/4th of the enemy and say that they are retreating. Instructions."
Ranma thought about it. "Dumb-fucks can take care of themselves." He looked at the Dispatcher. "Call Armor 01 thru 06. Have them evacuate the city to the shelters. We need this city clear by 2000 hours. And have all hands report to the hangar. Priority One."
She nodded. "Aye, Sir."
ATTENTION ALL HANDS! PRIORITY ONE! REPORT TO MAIN ZOID HANGER IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!
The leaders of the CDF, minus Montel along with a skeleton crew manning the radar, stood before their recently assembled crew. Many were discussing the reason for a Priority One meeting, while others knew exactly why they were called yet were not fully informed.
While not a true military force, leaders withing the crew decided to have some form of organization and seperated into different divisions from left to right. Zoid pilots, Tank Pilots, Civil defense workers, officers and misc members.
"As of 1700 hours Helic Republic Mt. Osa base was attacked by The Empire." Ranma stated, elicting gasps from the assembly. "Luckily, the military had responded with a counter-attack they repelled the enemy, for now. But, we have reason to believe that Mt. Osa was not their main objective."
A huge floating screen appears showing a floating iceberg. "What we have here is an iceberg. This is what the enemy calls a disquise." Some of the veterans chuckle. "Not a really good one since Seaside found out about it."
"Why didn't we stop it?" One of the girls said.
Bud stepped up. "Because... we are gonna stop their surprise attack with a surprise of their own."
"By 2000 hours, Armor teams should have the city evacuated and the streets clear. At this point, we mobilize." Bud used a graphics tablet to write on a flat screen map. All Zoid pilots and tank members surrounding the huge table. "Dark Horn's will take their normal night assignments. Naomi, you will follow them but deploy your Gun sniper here." A white ring was drawn along the mountain side under the dark horns. "You'll act as long-range presicion and defense for the DH's."
Red arrows pointing towards the shore from the sea appeared. "This is the enemy landing point. They will deploy from the iceberg vessel to attack the city from the sea. The new Defender-team will set up an ambush... here." Two X's appeared above and below the arrows near large groups of trees. "CDF workers will dig up trenches then lay camo-nets over your mecha. You'll recieve furthers orders on the field from then. Do NOT engage the enemy unless fired upon."
"Yessir!"
"Red-Zero will be entrenched between these two buildings." A red-wolf appearde between two buildings adjacent from the seashore. "You are under the same orders as the Defender-team."
"Wolf team is with Ranma. Your main objective is to defend the Valley entrance of the city."
Ranma nodded to Sanders, Wolf-leader.
"The enemies main objective will be the presidental housings, industrial sections and mostly military objectives including our base of operations if they know about it. Armored Core 01 thru 06 have defense of the base." Bud said. "07 thru 12 will be spread-out thru the city as harrassers. You guys can handle light mecha, but Medium's will tear your armor off."
"Finally, Black Knight team is with me. We'll set ourselves a little trap for the enemy." Bud chuckled. "Report to my bay when we mobilize."
Bud looked around. "Remember. This will be a night operation. The city's power will be disabled. All units within the city will power down and idle until instructions are given."
Ranma stood up. "You heard the man! Move out."
Rudolph Zeppelin the III, heir to the Gairos Emperial throne, sat in his quarters, brooding over the fact that his country was currently engaged in a war with the neighboring empire. A war he thought was a waste of human life and time.
He never understood the war, only knowing that it has been going on for as long as he lived. Since his birth to the throne.
What he does understand is that his grandfather is currently ill and he couldn't do anything about it.
A lone soldier steps into the room, breaking the young boys thoughts. "Young master?" Rudolph turns slightly to acknowledge the man.
"Yes?"
"Young master... your grandfather is... dying."
"Hey you. What's the status ophh--oph-- the city?"
"Calm. They must not know that they are our target." Karl Schwarz replied to the stuttered audio only message. He wasn't sure why he had to take orders from this stuttering idiot with no image display. He was the current commander of this task force. Though he did wish the two nations would come to a compromise and end the hostilities, he is still and soldier and has to do his duty to it's fulliest. "And the name is Schwarz."
"Oooh.. Kay. Wh-wha---whatever. Damn cracker."
"What did you call me?!"
The voice responded in an urban accent. "Sup foo? You wanna mess with me--me-me-meah niggah?!"
Karl rubbed his temples. "Your an idiot." he mumbled to himself.
The iceberg unnaturally stopped at the shoreline. Suddenly, a huge loading bay opened and extended towards the beach-head.
Mecha started to pour out from the disquised vessel. Molgas streamed out followed by Heldi Gunners, Macurtis units, Tank vehicles, a Red Horn and an Iron Kong. Another zoid exited the craft and scurried off to the side away from the landing army.
"Secure the beach head! Molgas move out into the city and fire at any type of resistence!" Major Marcus commanded from his Red Horn. "Heldi Gunners watch their flank. The land troops should be arriving shortly."
"Commander. The city seems to be deserted."
"What?!" Marcus shouted. "That can't be possiable! No one knew of our attack! We did not detect any radar throughout the whole trip!"
"Orders sir?"
Marcus thought for a moment. "Spread out in squads of 4:1 through the streets. Tank units form up columns and flank our zoids. Search the city but do not fire unless you see a hostile." Major Schwarz in his Iron Kong messaged Marcus.
"I sense some trickery here. We better stay alert." he said. "This doesn't seem right."
"Shut up Schwarz. Commander Prozen knows what he is doing. The Emperor's dying wish was to see this capitol leveled. And that is what we are ordered to do. So shut up and start doing something besides standing around in that high-powered machinery!"
Schwarz growled, turning his Kong toward the city with guns leveled...
A few columns of zoids approached the Defender teams position, passing by not noticing the two mecha entrenched beside a couple of buildings. One squad of Molgas and a Heldi gunner stopped before they reached Defender 01's position.
"Sir. We have sighting of enemy zoid units and are awaiting orders."
"Copy that commander. I also have guns targeted on zoid and armor columns that have entered the city. Request orders."
Buddy replied in audio. "Hold fire."
Defender 02 was confused. "Repeat that commander?"
"I said hold your fire!" Bud punched up Red-Zero. "Shiro!"
Shiro Yamada piloted the Red-Zero, the experimental Command-Wolf. He was itching to actually get to use this zoid instead of the shield ligers he usually used while with the military. "Red-Zero standing by sir."
"Do you have a fix on the enemy's position?" Bud asked.
"Aye sir."
"Special orders: Target enemy units and fire at will. When you position is compromised, retreat and repeat. Play a little hide and seek to shake them up a bit."
Red-Zero's pilot smiled. "Yes sir! It'll be my pleasure."
The Command Wolf powered up, it's twisting 280mm MRL mount turning 50 degrees to the left and tilting up 20 degrees up. A screen appeared before Shiro showing enemy positions along the beach head. 4 units lit up with red targeting beacons.
A ping sounded when full lock was established.
Shiro's smile became an evil smirk. "This is for Wolf-two you bastards!"
"FIRE!!"
End of Chapter 4.
Note: If you remember Zoids Classic, the begining scene is what happened when Van allowed that Emperial soldier to escape and steal a new Zoid. Damn jerk allowed an run-away to steal one of the CDF's zoids.
Note: CDF is mostly like a local militia instead of police force. CDF is civilian ran, and has no ties with the goverment except with the President. Just like most militia's. A militia will take orders from goverment officials, and not police forces.
Note: The two new zoids, Defender and Tomahawk are from Robotech/Macross.
Note: Ruri Hoshino. Minna na baka. Nadesico! You Get to Burning!
Note: I'm making the Zoids universe a little different and in some cases a little canon. I don't know much of Zoids, but I do like the series at certain points. I will rarely put Van and crew in here.

"You did the best you could, Sanders.."
Out in the desert, another drama was unfolding with the stolen zoid and the pilot of a shield liger. But that didn't concern the C.D.F.
Bud stood calmly in front of Montel as the blackman degraded him.

The torso was mounted with an array of weapon combinations. Two bays housed 24 80mm rockets, 12 long-range missles or LRM's, and 4 fire-retardent missles for civil purposes. Twin Astra TZ-II gun clusters, mounted on each side of the torso, housed 1 25mm machine gun, 1 pulse laser, 1 flame thrower and a 180mm grenade launcher. The left shoulder mounted a 6-pack of anti-aircraft stinger missles while the right mounted a spotlight for night search.
The second design was made purely as an anti-zoid system. The Vigger-Chrauler MK-X Defender is a similiar design of the Tomahawk. It is powered by a Vigger MT450XL thermonuclear fusion reactor putting out around 3500hp. Deciding to make the zoid more maneuverable, techicians installed twin jump-jet units into the legs making them capable of launching 300ft into the air in a full-powered jump. A "T" shaped antenna, was installed giving the mecha a 500 mile radar range. It only had one weapon which the whole mecha was designed around. Replacing each arm were twin Erlikon 100mm liquid-cooled high-speed autocannons that fired a mix of high-velocity transuranium slugs, tungsten sabot penetrators and tracer rounds at a rate of 3000 rounds per minute. Since those were the only weapons, the ammunition was placed in the left/right torso sections and fed through an internal feeder system.
Two of each new zoid designs were produced in record time and immediately assigned to the Civil Defense Force.
It was getting dark and Naomi was just returning from her position atop the mountain. As she stepped onto the base she was greated with the most strangest sight she has ever seen.
A black humanoid-type Zoid slowly dancing about the base proper in intricate patterns that seemed like a type of ballet. After careful study, she realized that what she was watching was a type of fighting style. But how could a zoid move like that? she thought. The black zoid moved in ways that were impossiable for a Zoid, humanoid-type or not, could do. Something itched in the back of her mind that it wasn't just any Zoid.
"Hey Naomi!" She jumped out of her Gun Sniper to the ground below.
"Strange," she said, still entranced by the black zoid along with the others slowly gathering to watch. "Never seen anything like it."
Buddy looked at her strangely, then looked at Weltall. Then her, then Weltall again. He shrugged.
"It's impressive when you first see it, but you never want to face it in combat. Especially if Ranma is piloting it." She looked at him strangely.
"You mean Ranma pilots that Zoid?" He shook his head.
"It's not a Zoid. Definately not." He sighed. She needed to know. "It's proper designation is Weltall, a mobile suit, or Gear as it was actually called. There were 'many' gears were it came from, but this one was .. special." She looked confused.
"Special? If there were many like it, how come this one is special?"
Bud shrugged. "What I ment was that there were many types of gears. This one, Weltall, is one of a find." He watched Weltall perform a leap and began to do a mid-air kata from his school of martial arts. "This one actually... called Ranma to it, as if wanted to meet with the one it belonged to."
"You gotta be crazy." she said, eying him skeptically for a while, before watching Weltall's demonstration. She didn't see Buddy slide up behind her.
He had this perverted grin on his face. "Crazy enough to do this!" He grabbed a handful of firm-round Naomi ass.
"EEEEKK!!!"
SMASH!!
"Pervert!"
CRASH!
"Leech! "
KA-PoWE!!
"MOLESTER!"
"Ugghh... Thaz riiiiiight!" He slapped her ass before passing out.
Montel's sonar suddenly goes off. "huh? Hey you gettin' this, guys?" he says to the 3 DS Wolves sitting next to him on the sea floor.
"I got sonar ping also sir."
"Copy that Sir. I also have active sonar trace of a large vessel heading towards us and closing slowly."
"Copy Black-leader."
Montel switched to long-range laser induction communications. "HQ - this is Seaside, we have contact with a large vessel slowly heading on course Five-Seven-Two. Copy that, over."
One of the communcations girls answered. "Roger that Black-Leader. We have reports of icebergs in the area. Capt. Herman and some of his men have gone to check on it. It is probably nothing."
"I doubt icebergs give off submarine sonar signal's, Sergent." Montel replied. "Inform the President and Bud of the situation. I'll track it as it starts to approach."
"Copy that Black-Leader."
"10-4."
She switched channels to the presidental communique. "This is C.D.F. HQ calling Mt. Osa defense base, please respond, over." Static was her reply until she got a vid-audio reply.
"This is Mt. Osa base. Go ahead Civil Defense."
"Sir! Rumor has it that the President is on base. I must speak to her on request from Commander Montel!" There was a moment pause.
"The President just departed back to New Helic City."
"Copy that Osa base. Over and out."
She sighed. Time to contact Buddy.
"Sergent!" Another girl called her.
She looked annoyed. "What is it?!"
"Mt. Osa is under attack!"
C.D.F. facility was designed to house defense hardware and personnel. Like military facilities, it also had a mess hall and recreational facilities.
The rec. room was the exact place were Bud, Ranma and Naomi would be found at a time like this, since their duties were mostly assigned in the day-time. Ranma watched impassively as Bud and Naomi went at it in a game of chess; a game they both were good at and had no upper-hand in. In Ranma's opinion, they both sucked.
But, the game was just something to concentrate on as Naomi hears about the universal truth about the treo of young men from different demensions. Naomi really wasn't buying it.
"Your full of shit. Pawn takes Knight."
Buddy stared straight ahead at her, not really paying attention to the game. "White bishop takes queen. Bad move babe. Think what you will, but what I say is the truth. I place my life on it." She still looked skeptical.
"Rook takes black bishop." she was mad because he took her queen. "Put you life on some out-worldly story that no one would really believe? You must be more of an idiot than I thought. Maybe all that blood that's suppose to go to your head goes to your crotch instead, pervert." He moved his rook in front of her king, 5 rows away from it.
"I don't appreciate being called a pervert, even though it's damn true." He said. "Check."
She moved her rook infront of her king. He has no choice but to take it or I'll take his rook and put him in checkmate, she thought. "Heh! Travelling demensions using some sort of device to actually 'fold' space and time. I'll only believe some crap like that if it happens to me." Bud smirked.
"Better what out what you wish for. Sometimes it really comes true." A viz screen appeared next to him. "What is it Ruri?"
A short pale-skinned girl with silver-hair and strange eyes reports to Bud. "Commander. Seaside reports sonar readings of a large underwater craft heading towards New Helic Port. He also believes that they have shot down a squard of Pteras headed by Captain Herman." she said in an emotionless voice. "Seaside request instructions."
"Instruct Seaside to monitor the craft until it reached the shore, then to ask for further instructions. Do not engage the enemy." Bud said.
"Aye Sir. Also, Osa base is underseige by Emperial mecha. Orders?" He shook his head.
"The city is our main priority. Unless we get goverment orders to assist, we'll just sit back and watch."
"10-4 Commander. Command out."
"Looks like the Empire will be attacking soon." He said, turning back to the board only to find it slightly altered in Naomi's favor. "Hmm..."
"Well? It's your turn, Bud-man." Naomi said confidently. Ranma had this funny look and smile that made her a little nervous, as if he knew something she didn't.
"Oh, I might as well take my turn then." He picked up his queen, and moved it diagnally until it replaces her rook in front of her king. "Check."
She watches him turn to leave the room. "Where you going? I'm about to take your queen!" He turned and smiled.
"You think so?"
She looked over the board. Her king was in it's original place. Empty squares on each side and on diagnals. She couldn't move out of the way so she only could take the queen. So she does.
"Check." Ranma states. She looked at him.
"What do you mean, check? I took his queen and..." He pointed at the rook 5 rows in front of her king. "Mate." She hung her head.
Ruri turned to the camera. "Baka."
"Capt. Saotome. Reports from Mt. Osa say that the military has depolid the ZG and has wiped out 1/4th of the enemy and say that they are retreating. Instructions."
Ranma thought about it. "Dumb-fucks can take care of themselves." He looked at the Dispatcher. "Call Armor 01 thru 06. Have them evacuate the city to the shelters. We need this city clear by 2000 hours. And have all hands report to the hangar. Priority One."
She nodded. "Aye, Sir."
ATTENTION ALL HANDS! PRIORITY ONE! REPORT TO MAIN ZOID HANGER IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!
The leaders of the CDF, minus Montel along with a skeleton crew manning the radar, stood before their recently assembled crew. Many were discussing the reason for a Priority One meeting, while others knew exactly why they were called yet were not fully informed.
While not a true military force, leaders withing the crew decided to have some form of organization and seperated into different divisions from left to right. Zoid pilots, Tank Pilots, Civil defense workers, officers and misc members.
"As of 1700 hours Helic Republic Mt. Osa base was attacked by The Empire." Ranma stated, elicting gasps from the assembly. "Luckily, the military had responded with a counter-attack they repelled the enemy, for now. But, we have reason to believe that Mt. Osa was not their main objective."
A huge floating screen appears showing a floating iceberg. "What we have here is an iceberg. This is what the enemy calls a disquise." Some of the veterans chuckle. "Not a really good one since Seaside found out about it."
"Why didn't we stop it?" One of the girls said.
Bud stepped up. "Because... we are gonna stop their surprise attack with a surprise of their own."
"By 2000 hours, Armor teams should have the city evacuated and the streets clear. At this point, we mobilize." Bud used a graphics tablet to write on a flat screen map. All Zoid pilots and tank members surrounding the huge table. "Dark Horn's will take their normal night assignments. Naomi, you will follow them but deploy your Gun sniper here." A white ring was drawn along the mountain side under the dark horns. "You'll act as long-range presicion and defense for the DH's."
Red arrows pointing towards the shore from the sea appeared. "This is the enemy landing point. They will deploy from the iceberg vessel to attack the city from the sea. The new Defender-team will set up an ambush... here." Two X's appeared above and below the arrows near large groups of trees. "CDF workers will dig up trenches then lay camo-nets over your mecha. You'll recieve furthers orders on the field from then. Do NOT engage the enemy unless fired upon."
"Yessir!"
"Red-Zero will be entrenched between these two buildings." A red-wolf appearde between two buildings adjacent from the seashore. "You are under the same orders as the Defender-team."
"Wolf team is with Ranma. Your main objective is to defend the Valley entrance of the city."
Ranma nodded to Sanders, Wolf-leader.
"The enemies main objective will be the presidental housings, industrial sections and mostly military objectives including our base of operations if they know about it. Armored Core 01 thru 06 have defense of the base." Bud said. "07 thru 12 will be spread-out thru the city as harrassers. You guys can handle light mecha, but Medium's will tear your armor off."
"Finally, Black Knight team is with me. We'll set ourselves a little trap for the enemy." Bud chuckled. "Report to my bay when we mobilize."
Bud looked around. "Remember. This will be a night operation. The city's power will be disabled. All units within the city will power down and idle until instructions are given."
Ranma stood up. "You heard the man! Move out."
Rudolph Zeppelin the III, heir to the Gairos Emperial throne, sat in his quarters, brooding over the fact that his country was currently engaged in a war with the neighboring empire. A war he thought was a waste of human life and time.
He never understood the war, only knowing that it has been going on for as long as he lived. Since his birth to the throne.
What he does understand is that his grandfather is currently ill and he couldn't do anything about it.
A lone soldier steps into the room, breaking the young boys thoughts. "Young master?" Rudolph turns slightly to acknowledge the man.
"Yes?"
"Young master... your grandfather is... dying."
"Hey you. What's the status ophh--oph-- the city?"
"Calm. They must not know that they are our target." Karl Schwarz replied to the stuttered audio only message. He wasn't sure why he had to take orders from this stuttering idiot with no image display. He was the current commander of this task force. Though he did wish the two nations would come to a compromise and end the hostilities, he is still and soldier and has to do his duty to it's fulliest. "And the name is Schwarz."
"Oooh.. Kay. Wh-wha---whatever. Damn cracker."
"What did you call me?!"
The voice responded in an urban accent. "Sup foo? You wanna mess with me--me-me-meah niggah?!"
Karl rubbed his temples. "Your an idiot." he mumbled to himself.
The iceberg unnaturally stopped at the shoreline. Suddenly, a huge loading bay opened and extended towards the beach-head.
Mecha started to pour out from the disquised vessel. Molgas streamed out followed by Heldi Gunners, Macurtis units, Tank vehicles, a Red Horn and an Iron Kong. Another zoid exited the craft and scurried off to the side away from the landing army.
"Secure the beach head! Molgas move out into the city and fire at any type of resistence!" Major Marcus commanded from his Red Horn. "Heldi Gunners watch their flank. The land troops should be arriving shortly."
"Commander. The city seems to be deserted."
"What?!" Marcus shouted. "That can't be possiable! No one knew of our attack! We did not detect any radar throughout the whole trip!"
"Orders sir?"
Marcus thought for a moment. "Spread out in squads of 4:1 through the streets. Tank units form up columns and flank our zoids. Search the city but do not fire unless you see a hostile." Major Schwarz in his Iron Kong messaged Marcus.
"I sense some trickery here. We better stay alert." he said. "This doesn't seem right."
"Shut up Schwarz. Commander Prozen knows what he is doing. The Emperor's dying wish was to see this capitol leveled. And that is what we are ordered to do. So shut up and start doing something besides standing around in that high-powered machinery!"
Schwarz growled, turning his Kong toward the city with guns leveled...
A few columns of zoids approached the Defender teams position, passing by not noticing the two mecha entrenched beside a couple of buildings. One squad of Molgas and a Heldi gunner stopped before they reached Defender 01's position.
"Sir. We have sighting of enemy zoid units and are awaiting orders."
"Copy that commander. I also have guns targeted on zoid and armor columns that have entered the city. Request orders."
Buddy replied in audio. "Hold fire."
Defender 02 was confused. "Repeat that commander?"
"I said hold your fire!" Bud punched up Red-Zero. "Shiro!"
Shiro Yamada piloted the Red-Zero, the experimental Command-Wolf. He was itching to actually get to use this zoid instead of the shield ligers he usually used while with the military. "Red-Zero standing by sir."
"Do you have a fix on the enemy's position?" Bud asked.
"Aye sir."
"Special orders: Target enemy units and fire at will. When you position is compromised, retreat and repeat. Play a little hide and seek to shake them up a bit."
Red-Zero's pilot smiled. "Yes sir! It'll be my pleasure."
The Command Wolf powered up, it's twisting 280mm MRL mount turning 50 degrees to the left and tilting up 20 degrees up. A screen appeared before Shiro showing enemy positions along the beach head. 4 units lit up with red targeting beacons.
A ping sounded when full lock was established.
Shiro's smile became an evil smirk. "This is for Wolf-two you bastards!"
"FIRE!!"
End of Chapter 4.
Note: If you remember Zoids Classic, the begining scene is what happened when Van allowed that Emperial soldier to escape and steal a new Zoid. Damn jerk allowed an run-away to steal one of the CDF's zoids.
Note: CDF is mostly like a local militia instead of police force. CDF is civilian ran, and has no ties with the goverment except with the President. Just like most militia's. A militia will take orders from goverment officials, and not police forces.
Note: The two new zoids, Defender and Tomahawk are from Robotech/Macross.
Note: Ruri Hoshino. Minna na baka. Nadesico! You Get to Burning!
Note: I'm making the Zoids universe a little different and in some cases a little canon. I don't know much of Zoids, but I do like the series at certain points. I will rarely put Van and crew in here.
