A New Perspective - A Zoids Fan Fiction

Episode 1: The Delivery Boy

A howling wind swept across the desert, stirring up sand so it blocked the light of the sun. This area, located in the desert band of Europa, was known for its sandstorms. Just like the entire continent itself was known for being the battle ground of two warring forces, the Helic Republic and the Guylos Empire, locked in their never ending conflict.

The sound of boots trudging through sand was barely audible above the noise of the wind. From out of a wall of sand appeared a shadowy figure. As the figure stepped closer, away from where the sand had been the thickest, it became clearer. A young man, not more than 20 years old, finally appeared. He had long, dark blue hair pulled back into a pony tail, with a few stray pieces that would have hung on either side of his face if not for the wind. Dark green eyes scanned the waste land. His name was Milo, and he was really no one special, just someone with a case of bad luck. Milo wore a long black coat, with a flap in the front, and one in the back split in half.  It had red outlining, and golden cuffs. To tie it all together, he wore a light grey belt, and golden boots. Twinkling brightly with each glimpse of light it caught, was the Helic Republic’s emblem.  

Milo was a simple Delivery Boy working for the Helic Republic, and sometimes, a transporter for large objects. He had gotten lost when he stopped to check on a package, and the map had flown away in the strong winds. It took little time for him to become lost, but at least he had gotten the map back. Unfortunately, he  was now separated from his Zoid, and would have to waste even more time to go looking for it. Yet, without it he was as good as dead out in the waste land. This surprisingly wasn’t anything new to Milo, for he seemed to get lost, or lose his Zoid quite often. For what reasons, he could not explain, but it seemed as if he turned his back for only a few minutes, it was gone. That blasted Shield Liger. Just gone, never stolen like he had thought when he first received it.

“Just my luck, I have gone and gotten myself lost, again.” Milo voice spiked with annoyance “I couldn’t possibly have gone that far, running after this map.” He looked around and listened. Perhaps he would be able to hear the footsteps of his Zoid, since he knew that it was not stationary. Surely enough, off in the distance, Milo thought he heard a faint roar.

“Chocolate!” he called. This was answered by another roar, this time a little closer.

"Chocolate, Chocolate! Come here!”

This time, a shadow appeared of a medium sized Feline Zoid. It roared a few more times, before it finally became close enough to see clearly. It was a light grey Shield Liger, with black armor, and blue tinted claws and teeth. Its canopy was a similar, but light blue color. Chocolate,the Shield Liger, often wandered off, especially when Milo was relaxing at some hotel or restaurant.  She seemed to act like she had an actual mind of her own, but that was impossible. Though, Milo had always wondered why some Zoids seemed to act like that. They couldn’t have a mind of their own, could they? Of course not. Maybe if they had a more advanced computer, but those cost an awful lot of money, and they’re near nonexistent. Milo shook his head. That Shield Liger was just a joke, a real piece of junk. Yet, he couldn’t imagine getting another Zoid. Not like I could afford a better one anyways.

“Chocolate, you know how I hate it when you run off!” Milo scolded. It was as if he was scolding a little child. Chocolate’s answer to this was to bend down, and open the canopy; her way of asking for forgiveness. If Milo wanted to get out of the sand and wind, he would have to forgive the ashamed Shield Liger. So, he climbed into the cockpit, closed the canopy, threw down the map on the control console, and headed off. His destination was a Republican city to the west.  It wasn’t much further, only about a two hours distance in a Zoid. With the help of the map, he soon cleared the sandstorm, and headed west.

As he got closer to the city, memories of friends he hadn’t seen for at least two years came back to him. All the pranks they pulled and all the places that they went. He especially remembered the time that he, Karol, and Nate went to the amusement park. He and Karol took Nate, the one who was afraid of roller coasters, on every single ride they could get on.  And he screamed the loudest one every one of them.

Milo couldn’t wait to see them, and hear all about what they had done in those two years.  He wondered what types of Zoids they had gotten, what jobs they had and so on. As he came closer to the city, his excitement grew. It certainly had been lucky he had been assigned a package to deliver to the base stationed there. It is just over this hill , Milo thought to himself. But when he got over the hill, it was not at all like he expected. Chocolate let out a small growl. Bright orange light reflected off her cockpit shield.

Before you read:
This is an AU fic for my Zoids OC, Milo, if he was turned into a Zoid. It features my custom painted Zoids as characters in this story where I treat the Zoids a more human like characters with voices and actions separate of their human pilots. It's not really a very serious fic, meant to be a stress reliever, or something to write when I am stuck on my other stories. It doesn't have a definite storyline as of yet, and I may or may not finish it.

A female zoid! I have never seen a zoid depicted as female even in fanfics before! Way to break the mold!^^ Chocolate, thats an interesting name for the zoid. How did she come to earn this name? I'm curious.

I believe Fuzors is supposed to take place between 50 and 75 years after New Century Zero. Liger Zero was a one of a kind zoid in NCZ however his basick designs were taken by the Backdraft Group when they snatched him from the Blitz Hanger. It would have been through them that Zero's designs were marketed and replicas were made of him. Of course the replicas would pale in comparison to the original zoid seeing as they were not ultimate X zoids since they didn't have the organoid system.

Its a 40,000 year jump between Fuzors and Genesis. And I believe it was supposed to be a few hundred years between GF and NCZ.
