Zoids: Return

Long, long ago, when the land was a different shape,
the Children of Heaven came down from the sky,
and the Children of Earth came up from the ground,
and the two sides went to war.


Summary
In the forests of the Eastern Continent, a small team of expert Zoid pilots make a living by selling their services to the highest bidder. But when a rogue Zoid triggers all-out war between Central Continent and Eastern Continent forces, the team must face ever-growing threats - from rival armies, from internal conflicts, and from a mysterious enemy who seems to have predicted their every move...
Zoids: Return is a planned fanfiction project in tribute to the Battle Story. Set over a century after the climactic battle between Ray Gregg and Wolff Muroa, it follows a handful of young Zoid pilots as the planet descends into war once again. The story will involve a variety of new nations and Zoids across three continents, and will span multiple media forms (text chapters, webcomics etc.) to imitate the multimedia nature of the Battle Story. At present, it is still in the planning stages.
