The stadium was less than full for today's match, likely due to warming weather and the fact that it was still the initial matches of the tournament underway. Despite this, there was a larger crowd than usual to see today's particular warriors. ------------------------------------- On one side, there was the masked pilot and leader of the team that shared his codename: Oz. Due to the mysterious and unusual nature of the pilot, many people were naturally drawn to see what exactly the man and his silver Shield Liger were capable of. On the other side was the leader of the Blaze Team, Jonny Delwas. Unlike his masked opponent's secretive nature, Jonny was a straightforward figure in the Spring Brawl tournament - already the victor of his first match. Hyped up over the victory by default, many spectators came to see whether or not the young Saberlion pilot could hold his own in a real match. This match would be a straightforward duel, with both Zoids stripped of all equipment. With bare machines, each pilot would have to rely on their instincts and natural abilities in order to prevail over the other. As both pilots were given time to think this over, the doors to the arena opened and the match was ready to begin. The fans eagerly awaited the entrance of both pilots... |

Jonny was getting excited. Sure he'd won a match already - but he hadn't won it, it'd just been given to him. He piloted his Saberlion into the arena, only to see a Silver Shield Liger, well that made thing certainly more interesting in terms of prospects compared to the last match. Since the Shield Liger had a lot of similarities in terms of speed, though its physical strength was more well endowed. However Jonny did still have three blades - albeit drained of their energies and effectively just hunks of sharp metal... well still he had three more hunks of sharp metal than his opponent.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jonny. Hope we do good out here, I really wanna see what me and you can do."

Going through all the start-up procedures, the man known as Oz pulled his black gloves on tight before placing his mask on his face. The dark blue cockpit hatch was designed for the purpose of preventing anyone from being able to see the cockpit within, allowing him some comfort in terms of secrecy. Grabbing his headset, the masked warrior replied, "As do I. May our battle be an honorable one."
With that, he moved his silver Shield Liger forward slowly, allowing it a comfortable pace to stretch its legs so to speak. Oz made his way onto the arena platform and awaited Jonny's approach so that the platform would raise and the battle would be announced. Then, the fun would begin and he would learn whether or not fate was on his side today.

"Thanks, good luck out there." He said as he piloted the Saberlion onto the platform, which began to rise up from the ground. He was starting to slightly nervous already, afterall with a big body like that it wouldn't take too many hits from the Shield Liger to just send Jonny and the Saberlion over the edge.
Then the judge showed up.
"Battle mode 0240. Ready... FIGHT!"
"Well now to get underway..." He said as he began to charge his zoid up to the Shield Liger, only to duck to the side and attempt to bite at one of the legs.

The silver-masked warrior was going to charge the Saberlion, but the slightly smaller frame beat him to the punch. It seems the young man's nature was showing through his piloting. Attempting to stop his charge and leap to the side, the Shield Liger was too late. His forward momentum was too much to stop before the incoming Saber Lion could bite down on his front left leg.
"Interesting..." Oz muttered to himself as his mind skimmed through possible strategies.
Realizing that the smaller Saber Lion's attack practically anchored him to the larger Shield Liger, Oz pushed the controls, sending the Shield Liger leaping back. He would come down hard, swiping his front paws down in an attempt to slam the smaller Zoid down on the ground and hopefully knock him loose from his leg. As it was, both Zoids were vulnerable. Jonny had taken away the Shield Liger's ability to stay mobile and evasive, but it also left his own Zoid vulnerable to counter-attacks like the one Oz was attempting.

Jonny grinned as he got in a hit on the Shield Liger, only to find himself suddenly coming off the ground, before being slammed back into it. He realised what happened, the Shield Liger had jumped up whilst he was still on the leg. The force of the impact threw Jonny's zoid from his hold on the Shield Liger, prompting him to put it back into a defensive position.
"Nice use of your zoids weight there, you obviously don't need weapons to fight." He laughed slightly, this was definitely interesting, and getting the crowd's attention.
Best keep them excited.
He decided to take advantage of the Shield Liger's lower speed. He unfolded the Saberlion's side blades, and then charged at the Shield Liger, ducking down to try slash through both legs on the left side of its body. If successful he would then quickly turn his zoid around to face the Shield Liger's back, and try to stab the Saberlion's top blade through it.

The masked pilot saw the trademark blades of the Saberlion unfolding. It was a natural advantage to the Saberlion that it had built-in weapons on its head and sides. However, Oz was determined not to make it so easy for his opponent to take him down.
The Saberlion came at the Shield Liger at its greatest speed, prompting Oz to take a quick leap back and attempt to leap forward over the Saberlion's blades. Unfortunately, while he prevented both legs from being ripped apart by the blades, his back right leg was nicked by the Saberlion's attack - sending the Shield Liger scrambling to make a landing. It stumbled, rolling sideways until it brought itself up and to a stop. "His blades paired with his speed have me at a disadvantage. He's using them well..." the Liger pilot remarked to himself.
For now, he would have to use quick-thinking and mental reflexes. Standing his Shield Liger in a ready position, he awaited Jonny's next move.

Jonny smiled, the match was turning in his favour due to his advantage of both speed and use of available weaponry.
Priming the blades for another strike, Jonny watched his opponent carefully, examining the damage he'd done.
He'd damaged both of the right side legs of the Shield Liger - the machine's speed must've dropped as a result.
He considered taking out the other two - though no doubt his opponent expected that, so instead he'd take a different approach. The two side blades of the Saberlion retracted - though the main head one stayed active.
He ran head on towards the Shield Liger, jumping up at the last moment, curling into a spinning ball - except one with a giant blade for an edge!

"Detecting inactivity from the pilot of the Shield Liger! Winner: Jonny!" yelled the judge, announcing the victory of the Saber Lion pilot. It would retract into its shell, for with the battle over so was its job. The Saber Lion was now allowed to exit the arena, the audience clapping in the background with some booing because of the way that the fight had ended.
