Chapter 15 – Showdown
Keith and Vincent began making their way towards Brad and Jason for the all important final battle. Keith was brimming with excitement, he felt today was the day he would final fulfill his goal of taking out Jason; Vincent was excited with the possibility of finally laying his long time rival to rest. Now he would prove that HE was the greatest Zoid scientist in the world. The Strum Tyrann activated his boosters and pulled away from Keith as he went to engage Brad and Naomi. Keith kept on straight as he was prepared to attack Jason.
“It’s time brother.” Keith said over comm.
“Yes it is, bring it.” Jason said as he ran off towards Keith. Jason had enough familiarity with the Liger Zero X that he felt ready to fully engage Keith. Jason flipped the blades onto the head of the Zoid and energy began to collect and the Electron Driver was readied.
“Eat it bastard!” Jason exclaimed as he fired the Electron Driver. Electric energy crackled as it sped towards Keith with great velocity.
“What the fuck is that?!” Keith shouted as he couldn’t fully react to it fast enough. He did manage to dodge enough to avoid a full on hit that would have definitely put him out of commission, if not, killed him. The Electron Driver made a direct hit with the Konig Wolf’s left flank. The blunt force of the attack sent the Konig Wolf barreling into the sand below. Keith got up as fast as he could because Jason was heading his way.
“That was…{huff} good brother, but you need more than that to take me out.” Keith said as he activated his own booster and flipped his DSR over and aimed at the Zero X. Keith planned on flanking Jason and using his back cannon’s pivot ability to fire at Jason from all sides.
Jason saw Keith begin to run around him and turned to follow him, but Jason was not used to turning at such speeds and lost control of his Zoid. The Zero X slid and tumbled and Jason was tossed about in the cockpit, cursing at himself for his stupid maneuver. Keith knew this was his chance and used it to take a few free shots at Jason and get closer for a melee attack. The shots made direct hits on the back near the blades of the Zero X and made a few holes. Keith was in range for his melee attack and made his lunge with claws extended.
“Ugh…dammit, c’mon buddy, let’s move….MOVE!” Jason yelled moving the controls and hit the button to activate the boosters. The boosters flared and Jason moved out of the way as Keith descended down, missing with his melee attack. The Zero X slid to a stop and Jason faced Keith. “This isn’t over yet fucker. We are just getting started.”
===============================================================
Naomi was poised, ready to attack and Brad was ready, yet scared, to engage Vincent and his overpowered dinosaur. Brad started off by firing his Gatling gun at him. Vincent took the fire head on and the bullets bounced off of the Strum Tyrann with ease and it continued on toward Brad. Vincent readied the claws as he opened them up ready to grab hold of the Fire Fox and clinch it until it busted like he did with Jason.
“Time to die.” Vincent said as he was in range and extended his claws and got hold of the Fire Fox. The Strum Tyrann began to apply pressure to the torso region. The sound of crunching metal was very audible, especially for poor Brad who was in the cockpit.
“Let me go you bastard!” He exclaimed.
“Sorry, but you are-ugh!” He managed to get out before the claw was shot by Naomi who was perched on her cliff.
“Did you forget about poor little ol’ me up here?” Naomi asked condescendingly. The shot had enough oomph on it make Vincent drop the Fire Fox. The Fire Fox was successfully freed from the grasp of the Strum Tyrann, but the damage was down. The Fire Fox was out of commission. With the Fire Fox out of the way, Vincent took the initiative and made way towards Naomi up on the cliff. He felt that as long as she was still in the fight, she would cause more headaches. He sped off towards the cliff with incredible quickness. Naomi began to panic.
“Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!” She said repeatedly as she began firing on him in hopes of taking him down. As each of the snipers shots raced down in hopes of taking out Vincent, he maneuvered the red behemoth out of the way and dodged them all. It took Vincent little to no time to make his way of the cliff and make short work of Gun Sniper. He swooped in and used the claw to clip the tail off of it; instantly making the command system freeze.
“Good, that is taken care of…time to make way to the base!” Vincent said loudly to himself as he moved down the cliff on his way to the base.
===============================================================
Jason and Keith were still going toe to toe with each other, trading blows. Jason was still getting a knack for piloting the Zero X. He had just received it that day and wasn’t used to everything it was capable of. Jason flipped the blades back onto the head and allowed the energy to collect. He activated the boosters and made enough space between him and Keith to perform a slide turn and fire. The shot his Keith in the left side again, and wires began to fall out due to repeated fire to the area. Jason then motioned for the blades to rest at side of the Zero X, in attacking position. He channeled the energy into the blades and made way towards Keith.
“JASON! Vincent is making his way here! Get here and fast!” Jason’s father blared to him over comm. Jason immediately changed course and made way towards the base, hoping to cut off Vincent.
“Jason! Where the hell do your think you are going?!” Keith yelled making chase.
“With dad in danger, I don’t have time to deal with you right now.” Jason said putting the boosters on full burn and leaving Keith in the dust. The Zero X clearly had the superior speed, but was it enough to catch the Strum Tyrann?
Vincent kept pushing, with the lack of ranged weaponry on his Zoid, needed to get to the base to start tearing it down. The base was in sight and getting ever closer. He knew his dream was about to be realized upon the destruction of the base and the death of Dr. Robinson. He could almost taste it as he got clear and closer.
“Not so fast Vincent.” Jason said as the Zero X slid in position between Vincent and the base.
“Ah Jason, should have known you would show up at the last possible second. Let’s get this going shall we? The longer I sit here, the longer it takes for my dream to be realized.” Vincent said heading towards Jason, claw extended.
“I won’t allow your bullshit dream to come to fruition.” Jason said as he performed a quick dodge to dodge the claw to set up a shot with the Electron Driver.
“You really are predictable.” Vincent said as he turned and latched onto the Zero X like he did the Zaber Fang when he ultimately destroyed it. A déjà vu moment. Jason struggled to free himself as Vincent again applied more pressure to the body of the Zero X.
“Jason, why do you always get yourself in these situations?” Jason wondered to himself as he thought of a way to get himself out of this predicament. Jason was pounding his head to produce something when he was hit with a “Ah ha!” moment. Jason powered the blades and activated them. They performed their normal activation motion of coming off the back, up into the air vertically, then down to the side. When they came down, they hit flush on the head. Since they were powered, they had a lot of force behind them. Jason continued to apply force to try and break through the cockpit to kill Vincent. Vincent, with his life in danger, let go of Jason to regroup. There was a huge dent in the head of the Strum Tyrann from the recent attack.
“Well, that seemed to work, but he nearly got me.” Jason said assessing the damage. Everything was still in working order. Jason immediately wanted to take advantage of the Vincent staggering, flipped the blades to the head and charged for the Electron Driver. Jason began to run around, flanking Vincent and pegging at him with it. The shots began making noticeable dents in the dense armor of the Strum Tyrann, and Vincent was getting very pissed at the whole thing.
“What the fuck?! Why won’t you just die? That’s it, I am going to settle this here and now!” Vincent said rising up and locking down the footlocks on his Zoid. With him anchored in place, the mouth of the Strum Tyrann gaped open and energy began collecting in it. Jason slid to the stop in amazement.
“No way…the charged particle cannon?! How could I forget he still had that up his sleeve, the Berserk Fury had it after all. How am I going to get out of this situation?” Jason said aloud, cursing his luck. Out of all the things he could have done, he always came back to the best open, run.
“Time to die.” Vincent said unleashing the wrath of the charged particle cannon on Jason. Jason instinctively activated the booster and began running around Vincent. He figured that it shouldn’t be able to turn since it was anchored in the ground, but he was terribly wrong. The Strum Tyrann began to pivot around to try and catch Jason. “You aren’t getting away that easily!”
“It may not be easy, but I am getting away nonetheless.” Jason said as he continued to run around Vincent, away from the cannon, when the particle cannon suddenly faded away. “Whew…time to counterattack” Jason said moving the blades to the side and ran towards the Strum Tyrann, his aim: the footlocks. Jason made a pass at Vincent and leaned his blade down towards the footlocks and successfully cut off one of them. There wasn’t much Vincent could do about because the Tyrann was stuck momentarily from the attack. Jason turned around to get the other one to completely eliminate the possibility of the charged particle cannon firing again.
“Just die dammit!” Vincent said activating his booster and swinging around to face Jason. The boosters were still flaring, and Vincent rammed Jason head one. Vincent had the definite momentum advantage and that resulted in Jason barreling to the ground and sliding to the stop. “You WILL die, here and now.” Vincent said opening the mouth of the Strum Tyrann again and energy started collecting it. The energy crackled as it prepared to fire.
“Jason is my prey bitch!” Keith said as shots from the DSR connected with the gaping mouth of the Strum Tyrann. The shots hit and destroyed the particle cannon and resulted in the head exploding. With the cockpit in the head, Vincent was instantly killed.
“I told that fucker I would kill him if he tried to kill you.” Keith said seemingly spitting at Vincent.
“Whew, that was close.”
“What the hell are you celebrating for? It is time to finish where we left off. Get prepared Jason.”
“I always am.”
Keith and Vincent began making their way towards Brad and Jason for the all important final battle.
