"I see." she said, Marcia glanced at the horizon dawn was slowly creeping closer as the morning continued to lighten. It would be harder to hide Catastrophe under the sand if someone saw them digging. That would be a sight...
Quin was saying something again. Marcia shot a grin over to her Zoid "Maybe they're all like that." being alone many years before there was people.. or perhaps another war ages ago caused the remaining zoids to go into hiding and Isolation. Many such theories spun in head instantly before she silenced them just as quickly.
"It's about time For us to get going." she said Once again looking toward the horizon "It's going to be a pain to hide him when it's light."

Quin looked over to the rising sun. "That it would be..." He spoke softly than looked back at Marcia. "People do rarely come this way, so you should be safe for a while longer. " The desert was still calm, aside the slight wind that started to pick up with the sun's rising. In the sky, the stars were starting to vanish, in fact more than half had already gone away for the day. The desert around them was starting to turn from a calm blue to a bright red. One of the many wonders of this particular desert, the dramatic color change during the day.
Sadly Ander had spoke too soon. Off in the horizon a group of bandit ZOIDs approached the rock. No doubt after Catastrophe. Many bandits wished to capture that ZOID. Ander quickly took note of the shield ligers and the cannon tortoise, But the way the sands around the sides of the group moved suggested there were more under the surface.
Ander backed to the edge of the platform ready to jump. The sands where Saga waited shifted slightly as they readied for the stunt.
"Well, how about a quick team battle before you depart? Us versus them? They seem intent on getting your friend there."

Catastrophe roared in challenge sensing the other ZOIDS before either Quin or Marcia.
"It seems you've spoken too soon Quin" Marcia eyed the visible Zoids and the shifting sands around them. "Fools." Marcia whispered under her breath. They where relentless, she'd done this so many times before. There wasn't any other reason for them to come out this far after all it's a route used by s few... Marcia couldn't hide her smirk as Quin offered her a hand "But of course, I'll gladly be glad too." she said leaping into the bone Zoids cockpit "A little battle before work won't do any harm."
The cockpit quickly closed and the mass of bones began to climb the rock formation. "Come here guys, lets see what you've got." she muttered with a cold smirk There's no way I'd let them take him, the fools know that. she sighed inwardly. Marcia was getting tired of the bandits endless attempt to steal Catastrophe, He wouldn't let them in either. Catastrophe would Most likely just go berserk again becoming too much for anyone to handle.
Marcia flicked on her Com and tried connecting to Saga and Quin "We need to find out whats underneath the sand." On top of the rock formation where Quin and Marcia previously stood Catastrophe let loose a terrifying roar.

As Marcia got into her ZOID, Ander was already taking note on the readiness of that pilot to fight. No doubt she could take on these ZOIDS by herself, obviously she had done it before many times. Her ZOID was infamous... Hopefully they have not developed a solid strategy for its capture.
Ander leapt from the top of the large platform only to have his ZOID catch him in its cockpit. Than it submerged back into the sand.
"I'll figure out the ones below, you take care of the ones up top." It looked to be about even. This is where the 'testing' begins...
Though Saga was above sand for a quick moment the radar nor camera would pick up anything. At most a large blur. As the ZOID moved under the sands the ground would become softer and unstable to walk on. Where the ZOID was was marked by several large spikes that protruded from the ground. Horns or wings perhaps? No one knew for sure.
The other ZOIDS split up into even groups, each taking the left or right of the Skullgreymon ZOID. The ZOIDS kept a good distance from each other making it impossible to take them all out with one attack.

"Right," Marcia eyed the Zoid's trying to encircle Catastrophe "It doesn't look like they're gonna sit still and let us pulverize them." she laughed. Though they where clearly unaware of Saga which would work to Marcia and Quin's advantage.
Catastrophe took off on Marcia's command leaping off the rock formation and charging toward the group with the Shield Ligers. Once again the Zoid was able to close the distance at an unusually fast speed for a ZOID it's size. at least she wouldn't have to deal with the group behind her this time. If They where smart they' question why Marcia wasn't paying any attention to the group behind.

((Pardon the lameness. XD Haven't been able to think lately. ))
Ander watched at Marcia took off after the front group. The ZOIDS that were underground staid their course and proceeded around the back of Catastrophe. Two of them were definitely war sharks. The other two had the same cloaking device it would seem and their signature was just as blurry on radar has Saga's. Saga darted toward the sharks fist since they were much closer to Marcia than the other two.
The two cannon tortoises that were left to Marcia's took on a new formation. Two lined up in the front while the other with the larger gun mounted in its shell stayed behind. In the front, the shield ligers all turned their shields on. Not the normal color for a basic shield either, bright orange. They were wise enough to bring upgraded shields.
The tortoises in the back fired their back mounted missiles into the sky. Each one exploded high above the battle ground raining strange rods to the ground. Each rod fell in random areas around Catastrophe, and each generating an electrical pulse.

(I had to remember what an electrical pulse was *Shot* Can't believe I forgot. Lol been out of school way to long.)
"This might be more troublesome than I originally thought." she mumbled. She'd have to test the shields out first and see how strong it was. Even Catastrophe's claw would break through a normal shield. By judging how much the shield gives under Her Zoid's power she would then be able to make her next move.
Catastrophe continued his charge at the Ligers smashing into one of them with full force testing the strength of the strange orange shield. It seemed to buckle under the force the skeletal Zoid gave it. Marcia had Catastrophe pull back a little ways in order to ram the shield again. Marcia guessed they where going to be immune to Catastrophe’s black fire since that could melt through almost anything.
"What's that?" Marcia said surprised as the one canon Tortoise shot it's missile skyward. That's definitely not good... she thought. The missile rained down black rods encircling both the ligers and Catastrophe. Marcia suddenly knew the function of the rods as pain wan through her entire body. “tch..” Marcia gritted painfully though her teeth. The rods where emitting a semi-strong electrical pulse. It wouldn’t affect the zoid so much as it would the pilot.
Catastrophe roared defiantly this wasn’t going to be enough to take him down...
“Damn.” Marcia almost growled she hadn’t seen this coming she had to get out of the surrounding rods. Marcia squinted painfully strengthening her grip on the controls with sheer willpower Marcia urged the Catastrophe forward “Move!” She bellowed.
Catastrophe moved shakily at first started moving more fluidly every step it took until it was able to run again. Catastrophe moved out of the scattered rods and toward the three tortoises. Now what other surprises awaited them was the next question…

(( XD No worries. I can say the same thing... ))
The ligers were unaffected by the pulse. All of them but the one who was knocked by Catastrophe. That As soon as there was contact the shield was over loaded and shut down. The others ignored the agonized pilot and continued with their plans. The ones that could still moved back up to the edge of their pulse parameter and waited.
The tortoises fired three more rounds of those rods into the air, creating more and more of those electrical pulses.
Quin was slightly worried by the buzz and grunts over the com. He was far enough to where they didn't affect him. By now the war sharks caught on to his presence and begun a circle formation around Saga. They were trying to size up the unknown ZOID. That would work to Ander's advantage, but the fact they were willing to take on the SkullGrey ZOID was disturbing. They must have something up their sleeves to deal with the hell armor. It would be wise to regroup and aid Marcia. Without any hesitation he darted for the first cluster of rods next to Marcia. If those were out of the way she would have no problem taking out the ZOIDS on top. And if worse came to worse, there was the secret weapon... but only for an emergency. "Hang on! I'll take care of those rods. Keep your focus!" Quin spoke over the com link hoping that Marcia could hear.

Marcia grunted painfully as she kept going. More rods fell and she felt another surge of electricity go though her body, she cringed but continued going. Her own movements were slightly shakier than usual but Marcia continued trying to smooth them out. Marcia glanced back at the ligers One seemed to have stopped, the one Catastrophe had hit. The other two still functioned perfectly. That shield was a pain.
Right focus on the Tortoises, Quin would back her up. Her Zoid came up on the three tortoises quickly. despite the pain. Catastrophe roared and with his large skeletal hand pulled the cannon off one of the tortoises before moving to the next.

A lone A dark blade Liger, stood up in the distance upon the far off rock formation. The Ziod sonar cloak was still on from a previous 'expectation', A curious growl left the machine's maw.
-how curious-.....The pilot mused in his thought as his gaze feel to the radar and the strange blips on it.
A smug smirk slowly stretched across the Pilot's lips as he looked to the failing battle below

Ander darted toward the rods making the sand behind him seem like water. The closer he got to the rods the more he could feel the effects of the pulse. Saga was starting to feel them as well. From the sand a snake like head rose with its maw ajar and a glow. The rods would have to be taken out quickly before they caused more problems for the two. A white beam shot fourth from the serpents mouth and cleared out a quarter of the rods with a hot blast. One of the ligers happened to be in the beam's path, but the beam disintegrated upon touching the odd colored shield.
Finally the two other blips that hid underground leapt out toward the skullgremmon ZOID's legs. They were just more war sharks, but with one crucial upgrade, Zi metal jousts mounted on the sides. These bandits knew their opponent well. Ander would have to watch out as his ZOID too was weak to the Zi metal weapons.

In one of Catastrophe's bone claws one of the Tortoises Cannons he leaped as the Sharks aimed for his legs and threw the cannon at the pair of sharks. Marcia hoped to change the trajectory of the jousts just enough to avoid any severe damage to Catastrophe. Regenerating damage weapons made of the Zi metal took a while and often left Catastrophe exposed to more dangerous attacks.
Marcia gritted her teeth and held on tight as Catastrophe slid on the sand tryingto get away from the warsharks. Catastrophe swung his mighty tail aiming for the warsharks. "Damn." she muttered.
Marcia kept her eyes on both the sands and the the remaining Zoids

As the tortoise's cannon flew toward the shark on the left it fired a couple missile rounds destroying the cannon enough so that it did no damage. However he had to adjust his course and missed Catastrophe completely. That one dove immediately back to the sands.
The other shark staid its course toward Catastrophe's leg.
The two shield ligers begun to back up out of the fight a bit. Their task was done for the moment. The tortoises as well begun to back off a little leaving the sharks to their task.
"Hang in there." Quin spoke calmly over the link to Marcia. The sands shifted about as Saga begun to rise. His massive silhouette was only half way out of the sand. It looked a bit like a large thorny tomb stone. Though it was out of the sand the form was still blurred on any screen. The snake like head appeared behind the body, that part must have been its tail... That same white glow appeared in the center of the tomb stone and to the left and right of the center one. The snake head begun to glow as well.
This time the white beam would take out a majority of the rods. Only the ones immediately on the opposite side of Catastrophe remained. Ander didn't want to strike the ZOID. Maria would now feel less of the strain from the pulses from the rods as more and more were destroyed.

The Dark blade liger lurched off the rock in a growl as the pilot pressed the machine forward. Hopping and clawing down to the battle.
A swift gloved hand flicked on a few capped switches, in response to the command, the Ziod's 'whiskers' flapped out and opened with a roar. A strange familiar shield flicked on and engulfed the dark Liger-protecting it from the strange pluses.
A hand moved to the side and pulled down another small lever, the ziod listened and a set of blades started to raise from their chamber and drop to purge wildly from the 'animal's' side-for it's name sake.
the unknown Ziod made it's self known to the battle as he moved across the sand passed the large white machine. A roar was let out as the dark liger stooped down to the side to lower a blade to the level of the approaching shark, charging just the same toward it.

Marcia had only a moment's success before Catastrophe spun around his long bone tail low to the ground. Marcia had to make sure they couldn't Pin Catastrophe in place creating a great disadvantage for both her and her Zoid.
The pair of Sheild liger were retreating? "Damn," she grunted painfully there must have been a trap set up. A roar sounded from nearby momentarily distracting Marcia. A Black Blade liger... and with that same sheild. Was that the leader?
"I'll be alright Qiun, I've been saving some things." She wouldn't let the sharks pin Catastrophe down while that liger cut through him. At least most of the rods were gone Marcia felt the sharp pain dull. "Thanks Quin."
Catastrophe roared back in challenge he spread out his claws and waited.
"Wait is he going to hit his Comrade?" Marcia readied herself.
