CHAPTER 8: New components

A red Gustav, with a single, white armor plate on the front was hurrying on through the desert. It had been heavily modified, and included armor and weapon components from the closest Zoid available in size and shape, the Cannon Tortoise. It was carrying a Zoid, a Sinker, as red as the Zoid carrying it. Behind that was hitched a huge, black container. Inside the cockpit, the owner of the Sinker was singing happily, enjoying a hot cup of coffee as

her brother piloted the Zoid.

"You know, this is YOUR Gustav, and YOUR Sinker, Moonbay! I shouldn't have to pilot it, especially since we're NOT taking my 'Wolf this time." He glared at her. "HEY!!

Huh? Oh, sorry Irvine. Did you just say something?

Oh fuck it! Do you ever listen to anyone but that stupid CD player? Jeez, I thought you'd get tired of it.

First of all, it's an MP3 player, NOT a CD player. It's got 200 songs on it, and another 6.5 gigs to waste on more songs! And you're just pissed 'cuz we couldn't take your Command Wolf. But that's the rule! You can't carry armed Zoids on an official delivery job. And Pops said you had to come, anyway.

Well, then. YOU drive!

I've been driving for 12 hours straight. God! You'd think you could try and act human, for a change." Irvine didn't reply, except for a low, grumbled "Fuck this shit." She was right, and he knew it. The next town, he'd buy himself a decent meal, maybe some new clothes. He used to have a Gustav of his own, a black one, but being at a financial low point, he'd had to sell it, years back. And he forgot to remove his monocular camera-patch from the cockpit, when he did. He practically fell over, when they arrived in the canyon, and he saw it. It had some stuff on it, but he recognized the unique paint job. So there it was…

BIT, GET BACK HERE!!!!

NO WAY! MY DONUT! YOU HAD THREE, THIS MORNING, I HAD NONE!

TOO BAD FOR YOU, GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!

NO-" Bit and Leena's high-speed debate was halted as the doorbell rang. Leena disappeared, so Bit got it. His mouth opened wide, when he saw the caller: she had brown hair, extremely tan skin, and sparkling black eyes. Also, Bit noticed she had 2 pink stripes on her cheek, and was very attractive. He snapped out of his trance when she asked:

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Bit Cloud?

Yeah, that's Me." He noticed the nametag: her name was Moonbay, and she had the most beautiful voice ever.

"I have a delivery from the Daegan Peninsula, and I need your signature.

Okay." In the cockpit, he saw a brown-haired guy, with bluish-purple eyes, and brown hair. As Bit looked over the paper, he realized it was the guy who'd sold him his Gustav! He signed, then went to see what it was. He was astonished to see a massive, black box, the dimensions of which seemed familiar to him. He couldn't help wondering what it was, in there. Then it hit him: Jager, Panzer, and Schneider had originally been stored in similar boxes, and there was a dark gray one in the hangar right now! He was surprised to see the blue-and-gold logo, on the box: the Eisen Dragoon Team logo. Then, as she reared her Gustav into the hangar, he went to his, and pulled out a peculiar-looking eyepatch he'd found in the glove compartment.

"Hey! This yours?

Yeah, thanks!" the guy caught it, and put it on. The red Gustav pulled out, and turned around. Bit could see it looked old and tired, despite a fresh coat of paint, and more customizations on it than Harry's ill-fated Iron Kong. For example, the antenna array had been shifted backwards, a

Cannon Tortoise's cannon had taken its place at the top, and an AZ 208 mm triple-barrel shot cannon had been mounted to the front. Also, a set of AZ-5 missile units was mounted to the sides of the head. CP23 models, he saw. The coupling on the front trailers was rusted, and weakened, and Bit guessed it would give out within 30 days. But as they left, he shrugged, and returned to the component.

"Hi, Bit. Hey, what's this?

Hey Leon. That just arrived. Wanna help me open it?

Sure, why not." And sure enough, open it went. And inside…

"Holy SHIT! A C.A.S. component!

No way!

It is. Check it out!" inside, a mostly black armor component: 2 sets of shoulder armor, a small armor component for the back, and the black-and-blue booster unit. Also, black head armor, blue strike generator components, and a set of golden Electron-Blades.

"Son of a bitch! The Imperium system…

I'd better get Dad." And Leon ran to get Doc. Bit, meanwhile, lowered a hook into the huge box, and hoisted up a Dual Hiblit Vulcan Gun, which he gently dropped to the floor before screaming

"LEENA! A PACKAGE FOR YOU!!!" she walked in, and immediately asked:

"When can you mount it on my Gunbluster?

As soon as everyone gets here.

OK." Within 5 minutes, the entire team, Leon, Doc, Jamie, Leena, Bit, Mike, and Jenny, were assembled in the hangar, all rather puzzled at the huge black box.

ISAAC! ZEPHYR!" screamed a red-haired pilot upon exiting his huge Zoid's cockpit. ""Get your lazy asses down here NOW!

Yo, Hiltz. What's up?

The "package" was delivered to the Blitz Team.

No shit! So what now, boss?

Rosso, Shut up! Now where'd that stupid mercenary get to? BULL!!

Yeah, what?

Excuse me?" chuckled Hiltz "Was that disrespect? 'cuz it sure as hell sounded like it.

No sir, I'm sorry…

Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, you cocky little shit! Now the package was delivered: we know where and when. But we have to act. They cannot be allowed to keep that weapon!"

At the Blitz Team base, Bit was sitting confused, as the program system for the new armor slowly copied itself to the Liger's memory bank.

WHAT IS THIS, BIT? THIS NEW PROGRAM?

A new armor for ya, partner.

THE DOCTOR TOROS DID NOT CREATE THIS ONE. IT IS OLD, VERY OLD. I REMEMBER IT FROM…MY YOUNGER DAYS, YOU WOULD SAY.

No shit? That far back… so it IS the true X-Imperium. Not a Backdraft trap…

Bit! The next battle's been decided.

Really? Who're we up against?

Some newcomers who wanted to challenge us.

Newcomers?

Class A. They came up quick, too!

How quick?

A year. They're the Guardian Team. From what it says, they've got a Double Sworder, a Liger, and…

And what?

2 GenoSaurers, and 2 Saber Tigers." Bit whistled. That was a lot of hardware, for newcomers. Then, he did a double take. "wha-Wait a minute! 2 GenoSaurers? The sonsabitches have TWO of the fucking things? Shee-it, man! Did it say which Zoids they'll be using?

Yeah. It'll be 4-on-4, battle mode 0988. coordinates E37, Y14.

You're shittin' me? That's the same fucking place we battled the Elephander, way back when! Oh, well. It'll be a great chance for Liger and me to test out the Imperium component. Say, what Zoids?

The Liger, Double Sworder, and the GenoSaurers. Against you, me, Pierce, and Leena.

Oh, boy! Does she know the battle mode? Limited to 6 shots a piece!

Yeah." The program was complete, so Bit got back into his Zoid. Then, in a corner of the box, he saw a piece of paper, on which was written:

This component once belonged to the Liger Zero. I believe it was high time it was returned to its pilot. Make good use of it.

R.

The "R" was weirdly shaped, the back part was curved in a shape like a 7, with a dot at the top right edge…
