*I still don't own anything having to do with Zoids or Naruto! So don't ask me, or I'll sick the Death Saurer on you!*

Bonus Chapter!

Down at the site of the battlefield where that unsanctioned battle took place, several of the village's elite ANBU were taking Mizuki, Kiba and Ino to the T&I Department for a little interrogation. If there's one thing the Hokage absolutely doesn't tolerate, besides the civilian and elder councils, it's his own ninjas challenging each other to unsanctioned battles! Although, since Kiba and Ino aren't full fledged ninjas of the village yet and were in essence following orders from a superior officer, they'll probably just get off with community service and be in massive trouble with their parents.

All of the ANBU were piloting several different Zoids that were covered in black colored Stealth Coat armor which makes their job easier. These Zoids ranged from Helcats and Command Wolves to Saber Tigers, Stealth Vipers and the occasional Blade Liger.

While Mizuki, Kiba and Ino were rounded up by the ANBU, a few of the higher ranking officers were currently questioning our newly dubbed Tyranno Team. The first of these ANBU was a young woman with long purple hair wearing a stylized cat mask. She wears the standard ANBU Armor and pilots a purple Cheetah Type Zoid known as a Lightning Saix. Only hers has been customized to also have incredibly lightweight and aerodynamic Dark Horn weapons so the speed and maneuverability wouldn't be hindered.

Next was an ANBU who was a man with spiky dark brown hair wearing a stylized Tiger mask. Like the woman next to him, he wears the standard ANBU uniform with the addition of slightly thicker upper body armor for extra protection. His Zoid of choice is a Green Horn. A Horn variant Zoid that is literally painted green with red eyes in the canopy. Only this Green Horn is equipped with double the amount of the standard Dark Horn weapons making it look like a green version of the McMann Custom.

And finally, we have Mikoto and her Shadow Fox and Mebuki in her Snipe Master. Both mothers were checking their children for any injuries while they answered the other ANBU's questions as well as they could.

"So, let me nutshell this as best as I can." said the cat masked ANBU. "You three had gone into the Forest of Death one night in search of Wild Zoids, which was incredibly stupid of you by the way, in the hopes of finding Zoids that you could actually pilot without being sabotaged by your instructors at the academy. And rather than finding them, these two Geno Saurers and the Berserk Fury found you three. After a few days of trying to train in piloting them, you were ambushed by those three clowns over there, who challenged you to an unsanctioned battle so that they could try and take your Zoids from you or just plain destroy them."

The Psycho Geno Saurer growled as its eyes glowed blue, remembering the air of arrogance and contempt that was radiating from the Yamanaka girl. It didn't even want her to so much as TOUCH it, let alone be its pilot! Sakura sensed the growing rage of her Zoid and began to soothingly stroke its armor.

And surprisingly to everyone BUT the Tyranno Team, it worked. And the Zoid began to growl in a manner similar to purring at its pilot's touch.

"It's okay, girl. They're gone now!" Sakura whispered to her Zoid in a comforting manner.

While the two ANBU were shocked by the already strong bond the girl seemed to share with her Zoid, they quickly shook it off. As members of the village's ANBU Black OPs, they needed to be emotionally in control at all times.

"Anyway, seeing no way out, you three registered as Zoid Warriors prematurely so as to try and follow regulations for official Zoid Battles and fought against the three who challenged you. Your Zoids activated their Charged Particle Cannons on their own in order to protect you three, winning the battle for you and that's when we showed up." the tiger masked ANBU finished. "Are we missing anything?"

"No, that about sums it up." Naruto replied.

"So… What happens now?" Sasuke asked.

The cat masked ANBU looked over to the Whale King that would be transporting the three troublemakers and their Zoids back to the village. The Zoids themselves would require some repairs, but their pilots are a different story.

"Seeing as how Kiba and Ino were only following orders from a superior officer, they'll probably be let off with a light sentence. However, Mizuki will most likely be seeing jail time for these actions and his shinobi liscense will probably be revoked. As for you three? Well, that's up to Lord Hokage to decide." she said.

"Don't worry, kids. Knowing Lord Hokage, he knows exactly what went down here and how it all happened. You three will most likely just be let off with a warning, considering you lead three Zoids on a high speed chase through the village." Mikoto said. "But I'm sure things won't be so bad. Mebuki, Tsume and I saw the whole thing go down, so if Lord Hokage asks we'll put in a good word for you."

Even with those reassurances, the three didn't feel any calmer. They need to prepare themselves for what will most likely be a big time punishment for them. In fact, they may need to flee the village if the Hokage decides to do something like destroy their Zoids for being too dangerous.

Resigning to their possible fate, Naruto and his friends made their way to their Zoids and got into the cockpits. Their Zoids flared to life before they used their boosters to head towards their only sanctuary before anyone from the village tried to do anything to them.

Mebuki and Mikoto could only look on with sad looks marring their beautiful faces. Both mothers knew that their children growing up hated by the people of their village was tough for them, but Naruto had it much worse due to not having any family to turn to in his times of grief. It seems like Sasuke, Sakura and now the Berserk Fury are the only real friends he has. And now he has to face the possibility that one of those friends might be permanently take away from him.

"Come on. Let's mobilize our Zoids and go after them. We can still catch them if we hurry." Mikoto ordered.

"Right behind you!" Mebuki said.

The two women got back into their Zoids and began running after the children as fast as their Zoids could move. And that's pretty fast, considering the top speeds of those three Tyrannosaurus Zoids.

*Meanwhile, at the Hokage's Office…*

Sarutobi Hiruzen was taking a break from the paperwork that came with being Hokage and was looking back on the lives of three certain residents of the village.

He was happy for those three unfortunate children finally finding Zoids of their own, but he was greatly disappointed that there were people in their own age group that would go to such lengths to try and take those Zoids away from them. Hiruzen exhaled a cloud of smoke as he recalled everything he's ever learned about Wild Zoids.

Contrary to popular belief, they don't just allow ANYONE to pilot them. A Wild Zoid must choose someone to be its partner. That chosen pilot is then able to bring out the Zoid's true latent potential! Be it in combat or outside of it! Even a simple Molga can be a deadly force when piloted by the right person.

Of course, many of today's clans like the Uchiha, the Aburame and even the Hyuga to some degree, would argue that such things are untrue.

But Hiruzen knows better. He knows that the Geno Saurer, the Psycho Geno Saurer and the Berserk Fury chose those three for a reason. But he also knows that those particular Zoids weren't created by either man or nature. He knows the harsh truth about them.

Those Zoids… and the Death Saurer… they're connected somehow!

But Hiruzen has a way to overcome this and stop a possible war that may break out because of the people's foolish ignorance! It's an old law, but it might just be enough!

Hiruzen was broken from his thoughts by a knock on the door to his office.

"Enter!" he called.

The aged Hokage's secretary walked in with an annoyed look on her face.

"Pardon the intrusion, Lord Hokage, but I'm afraid the 'honorable' council has called for your presence at a meeting." she said using heavy sarcasm on the term honorable.

"I see. Return to your post. I will send an ANBU to let them know that I am on my way." Hiruzen ordered.

The secretary quickly bowed and walked out of the office. She has some of her own work to do, and does not want to fall behind because of a bunch of power hungry bigots. Hiruzen sighed and got up from his chair. Might as well see what those bastards want this time.

*To Be Continued…*

Sorry for the short chapter. But I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to be working on the new chapter for Zoids Arc Century and I still need ideas for the Zoid Jaune should pilot. And it HAS to be an EMPIRE Zoid, not a Republic Zoid! And depending on which one gets the most requests is the one I'll use. Or I might not. You'll just have to wait until the next chapter to find out!
