Nathan and his Command Wolf rode of into the desert. He was hoping that he would meet some fierce Zoid pilots... to test his skills. He then stopped in the middle of the desert and opened his cockpit too cool off. *phew* "I hope I find somebody soon too fight" he said with a grin as he cooled off. Him and his Command Wolf hadn't been in a fight yet... and he wants to get some pratice in before the tournament.

The previous desert journey Jager undertook was a perilous one. The young man was always wondering the landscapes with no fear. His cautious behavior gave him the confidence to go through the most dangerous and difficult situations. This time around the storm was more mild. Nothing like yesterdays'. His damn cockpit had trouble opening from the sand caught in the crevices. He had to give the entire Zoid a wash.
After coming up and over a giant dune he spotted another Command Wolf by a small watering hole. The scorching sunlight made it's steel body shimmer. What is it doing out here? As far as he knew he was the only one to come out this far. He approached it cautiously. "Excuse me, who are you and what are you doing out here?" Jager asked. He approached the watering hole. About 20 meters separated him from the other Zoid.

Nathan then spotted another Command Wolf out in the distance with its Cockpit open as well. Nathan then heard the man asking "Who are you and what are you doing out here". Then a smirk came over the boy's face "I'm Nathan Drake... leader of Team Desert Storm, and I'm looking for some pratice for the upcoming tournament" he said with a smile. "So... who are you and what are you doing here" the boy asked.
This guy seemed to be a pilot to Nathan, because he was piloting a Command Wolf. Maybe he could be a nice warm-up for Nathan until he fights the guys in the big leagues. The boy did a little stretch and the eyed this stranger cautiosly... he could be a bandit.

"Team Desert Storm huh?" Jager murmured under his breath. He had never heard of them before. The entire Zoid battle community was starting to get crowded with teams looking to join. The competition was getting harder as well with so many teams trying to join the upcoming tournament. The last loss really got his spirits down. That win by default was ridiculous.
"Get in your Zoid kid. I'll be your sparring partner." He yelled out from his side of the watering hole. He entered his cockpit and the radar and weapon systems came to life. The eyes of the Command Wolf flashed. The wolf howled to the scorching sun overhead. A good substitite for the moon. "You ready, wolf?" He asked his Zoid. A quick command of the controlls and the Command Wolf started to walk slowly to the right. The equipment inside the shaft of the under-carriage locked into place, ready for deployment.

The man didn't answer Nathan's question, but he got his wish for an opponent so he didn't really care. He then closed his cockpit and spoke calmly to his Command Wolf "We can do this Command Wolf... lets go out there and win". He then slowly opened his eyes and grabbed the controls. "Alright lets go" he yelled as he started to run to the side. He then aimed his Anti-Zoid 50 mm Double-Barrel Beam Rifle and shoot off about 6 shoots in a row at the opposing Command Wolf.
Since it is a double barrel weapon a total of 6 bullets would be fired at the Command Wolf. "Now lets get into full gear" he yelled as he activated his High Output Ion Turbo Booster and started to run in a speed of 310 km/h. In this speed he began to encircle the enemy Command Wolf shooting some rounds of bullets at it. He shoot about 4 shoots which is a total of eight bullets. Command Wolf was still encircling the foe at high speeds... wondering what he will do.

The first 12 shots screamed through the air around the Command Wolf. A few meters closer and the armor surrounding it would be slightly scorched. "Let's try to get you back looking a little like you left wolf. I don't want to give you any scratches." He laughed as he ran in one direction, avoiding the blasts with just speed and evasive maneuvers. A sudden crackle in the distance snapped his head to attention. "Ion boosters. Looks like this guy has some money to spend. It's no problem, wolf. We don't need fancy boosters. All we need is a little ingenuity and a lot of cunning."
Jager pressed a small, red button on the hologram in front of him. A flashing red indicator appeared in the model of the Command Wolf inside the hologram. A blast from the AZ cannon grazed the right front leg of the wolf, catching Jager's attention. But the next 5 hit dead on. "Damn!" The cockpit trembled inside and rattled Jager's teeth. He pushed the controls forward instinctively and the wolf ran forward, escaping the other wolf's encircling. It now ran north. With the other wolf probably following. It was obvious it would keep up though. "I have to come up with something!"

The first twelve bullets didn't hit because of the foes swift manuevers, but the next 6 did. One grazed its leg and the other five hit dead on the zoid. "Not much now" Nathan yelled in excitement too his Zoid. Then he noticed that the foe started to run north and escaped Nathan's circle. He then stopped he just watched the wolf futile attempt to get away. "Pathetic" he said as he started to chase after the wolf, and then he activated his High Output Ion Boosters and made quick ground on the Zoid, but that is relatively simple if you are running 100 km/h faster than the opponent.
Then he noticed he was gaining on the Command Wolf. He started to shoot about 4 shoots which ment 8 bullets in total. Afterwards, he shoot out 6 missiles from his Anti-Zoid Missle Launcher at the Command Wolf. He realized that he was getting very close to him and when there was only about a five meter difference he would yell out "Now your mine" and jump up into the air and lunge at the Wolf. In the air he shoot 2 more times sending 4 bullets at the wolf, before he came crashing down on it while trying to slash it with its Strike Claws, and trying to send a devestating bite to the foes neck with its Electron Bite Fangs.

The wolf was gaining on them. The blasts were getting closer with each attempt and the fact that the trajectory of the blasts and missiles only made things more difficult. He saw 6 missiles approaching the rear of the wolf. "Damn! He has missiles too?!" He forced the controls left as the missiles reached about 10 meters from the Zoid. The Command Wolf arced left! An explosion from the rear rattled the cockpit once more but he continued pushing the wolf. He looked back to see the wolf emerge from the smoke and sand left behind by the missiles. "Damn! I hate to say it, wolf. But we can't win with speed!"
The Command Wolf roared in acknowledgment. Then, a thought. "Okay, kid! Let's see if that speed of yours can produce miracles!" Jager readied the mines inside the undercarriage. He saw the wolf gaining on him. Jager's Command Wolf ran as fast as it could. Seeming to try and escape from it's following predator. The enemy's long strides took him to a few meters away and leaped in the air! "I got you!" Jager roared. A large mine dropped from the wolf's undercarriage. Jager arced the controls left, but not before getting hit by one of the eight blasts as he was in the way of it's trajectory toward the land mine. The mine detonated under the enemy's legs and underbelly. Jager continued to run in an arc around the cloud of smoke and sand, dropping 1...2...3 more mines about 20 meters away from him in a row distancing 5 meters apart. He stopped about 20 meters away from the mines, waiting to see the zoid emerge from the smoke.

Nathan saw the man dodge all of his bullets he had sent his way with some quick manuevers. "This guy is a trickly little fellow" he said to himself when he was actually was able to dodge the missles as well, but one of the shoots that he sent in mid air hit him. Then Nathan spotted it... there was a mine right infront of him, but he didn't have any time to dodge an attack like that. His Command Wolf landed right ontop of the mine given himself tremedous damage. There was no possible way he can run full speed and his boosters were somewhat damaged. His full speed was 190km/h and only 260 with the boosters.
Nathan waited for the smoke to clear... and what he saw in front of him was about 3 mines on the left side 20 meters away and the foe about 20 meters away on the other side of him. This Command Wolf cannot keep on dodging his attacks in his condition, but Nathan shouldn't really move right now. He didn't want to put excess stress on his zoid. He then shoot about 8 shoots from his double beam rifle sending 16 bullets at the foe. "Now lets see some fire works" he yelled sending 6 missiles at the enemy from his Anit-Zoid missle launcher.

The small flurry of blasts scorched the air around the Command Wolf. It quickly arced right and ran as fast as it could. Sparks flew from the joints of front left legs. His zoid was pretty messed up. He arced the controls right. The Command Wolf ran as fast as it could but it was just not fast enough to avoid the incoming missiles. It performed the same maneuver as before but a stray missile caught its aft side, sending the zoid rolling through the ground stopping only after hitting a giant boulder. It's joints sparked with electricity as it tried to stand. It sluggishly struggled to get up. It's limping front legs nearly fell back down to the dirt beneath him.
"Damn! Were not giving up, wolf!" Jager yelled, pushing the throttle to all it had left and rushed at him. He shot the AZ Double Barreled cannon at the enemy zoid in a rapid fire.

Nathan saw the wolf struggle just to stand up after that last attack. "It seems like this is almost over..." he said. But to his amazement the opposing Command Wolf still had some kick in it. It ran forward at Nathan and started to shoot off bullets like a mad man... if he continued that up he would run out of bullets.
Nathan was rather immobile, and he didn't have anymore missiles left, but he did have a way out. He directed his left booster to the left... and then only activated his left booster. The force of that buster only sent him out of the line of fire and he shot about three rounds at the enemy Command Wolf. That was about 6 shoots in total. The thing is nathan's Command Wolf cannot actually move on its own... it would have to rely on its boosters and they were running out of juice.

It might have looked like he was shooting like a mad man but the enemy was right in front of him he barely had to aim. It was futile though. Even though they were both nearly immobile the enemy had boosters. He still had a way of moving around and Jager could barely run. This was over. The sudden strafe from the other wolf was enough to help it avoid all the shots. The blasts fired by the enemy missed but 1 hit its mark dead on the chest of the zoid. The wolf collapsed and it's systems went offline.
The cockpit opened and out came Jager. He stood on the nose of the wolf, looking at the beat up wolf in front of him. They both took quite a beating. "I know when I have lost, kid. This day is yours." Jager returned to the cockpit. "Don't expect the same as me next time though." The wolf found the strength to get up once more and limped away. It was a defeat but it was just what he needed to get over that loss by default. It was pretty exhilarating. He went off with a smile.

(OCC: Good match Jager)
Nathan saw the lone bullet hit dead center of the opponent Command Wolf, and that it just collapsed. "Nice matche... but you never told me your name" Nathan said over the microphone hoping to catch the name of his worthy adversary. This match was truely epic and both Zoids gave it there all. Then all of a sudden Command Wolf just gave a victory howl. "Agh... come down boy... its not like you got out without a scratch" Nathan said with a little sigh.
Nathan then waited for the commision to give him his prize for winning. This would be well deserved, and he needed the points for upgrading his zoids. After winning he would slowly limp off of the battle ground.
