Summary: Xander is given a job from the Republic to see what weapons the Empire has to combat the Gojulas, A.K.A. ZD.





	1. Operation ZD DEF:Chapter 1

Xander slowly approached the Shield Liger. It was somewhat damaged, but Imperial-modified. It could be his only way into the base.  
  
He made a hand signal to Osiris, his Organoid. He turned to see a jet of purple light shoot into the Liger. Then he made his move.  
  
Xander jumped onto the leg of the Liger, and started to climb it. He made it up to the cockpit, and opened it quickly. Osiris had unlocked it for him. Xander stunned the pilot with a baton, and then Osiris pulled the pilot into the Zoid Core. Seconds later, the pilot was jettisoned out of the Zoid.  
  
Osiris started to heal the various wounds on the Liger, starting with the back-right leg. Once the leg was healed, they could go full speed towards the Imperial base.  
  
Within a few minutes, the leg was fixed, and they were running to the base.  
  
When the base was in sight, Xander started to ready the Liger's weapons and prep the shield.If he didn't do this right, the so-called "stealth operation" could escalate into a firefight. That was the last thing he wanted.  
  
The whole operation, "courtesy" of the Republic, was to find out what weapons the Empire had to combat the Gojulas, A.K.A. ZD. There were rumors of a Lightning Liger, but that was an unsure name. It was supposed to be a cheetah-like Zoid, and the fastest ever. If this is true, then it could easily dodge the Gojulas's cannon shells. But such a zoid would be highly unstable, and nearly unmodifiable.   
  
He stopped the Liger at the gateway and waited for the Zoid ID to be checked. The gates clambered open, and the Liger walked right in.  
  
Xander prepared to initiate operation ZD-DEF. 


	2. Operation ZD DEF:Chapter 2

Xander stopped the Shield Liger in a small "slip" as they're called, and waited for the exit ramp to extend from the catwalk. He hopped out of the Liger and cut off a small part of his sleeve. He dabbed some chloroform onto the sleeve and waited for a guard or soldier to go by.  
  
Xander waited for about ten minutes, and he let his guard down. Then, he saw a guard walk by. He stared at the guard for a moment, as if in a daze. Then he jolted, and snuck toward the guard. He realized that the chloroform was dried out! Xander immediately replaced it and lunged toward the guard.  
  
The guard didn't put up much of a fight. Xander caught him on an inhaling breath, so the chloroform immediately set in.  
  
Xander took the guard's uniform and hid the body behind some machinery. He then went directly to the testing lab where this "Lightning Liger" should be held. When he got to the labs, everything was a mess. Parts were strewn everywhere, and the only clearing of all this junk was a small spot around a cheetah-like zoid.  
  
"That must be the Lightning Liger," Xander said with awe.  
  
He sent his dark-blue organoid, Osiris, into the Liger. Xander jumped into the cockpit and started it up. He opened the hanger doors via remote, and piloted the Zoid directly out at full speed.  
  
This was the fastest he'd ever gone! He activated the stage two boosters and was thrown back by the power of the thrusters. Stage three would be the Liger's full speed.   
  
Xander hesitated for a moment, but then pushed the switch.  
  
A message appeared on the screen. It said "Saix stage armor Mach VI jettisoned."  
  
So that was its name. Lightning Saix.  
  
Xander felt a jolt, and then the whole Zoid toppled to the ground. There was a failure in the back leg, due to the boosters.   
  
Xander looked around, and saw nothing. He was inside a canyon.  
  
He was lost.
