“Hold the line! Hold the line and repel! For the Council! For Star World!”

-Scorch, Metal Wars Climax, Chapter 2-3: Copper Storm

Zeus ARC Trooper Commander 003, or "Scorch," is the last in a line of specialized Advanced Recon Commandos developed by Sneezier using Yoshilier's genetic strain. Scorch is a first-generation clone, using cells directly from Yoshilier. Scorch made his famous stand in the Dark Ages, but has served with the core Yoshi Bodyguards even past their breakup. Scorch now commands the 1st ARC Trooper Regiment, which quickly has become the most feared regiment in the modern Star World Defensive Forces.

History

Creation

Scorch was created from the genetic strain of Yoshilier during Sneezier's Zeus project, a project to create better commando units for the Clone Army. Due to the immense cost, the project was soon canceled, but not before four Zeus ARC Troopers were created. One of these was Scorch. Scorch underwent intense training before being fielded in several engagements against the COUE. It would be worth noting that before the Dark Ages, he befriended his suits intelligent AI system, Erica. The two served side by side on many a mission. Scorch was sent back to Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters, taking defensive duty with his fellow Zeus ARCs briefly before the greatest calamity overtook Star World.

The Dark Ages

On the Zeus ARC trooper's watch, the Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters was overrun by the demonic menace. Two of the four Zeus ARCs died when trying to evacuate. Scorch and Zeus 004 made it onto a transport en route to Mushroom Kingdom before it was shot down. Zeus 004 was killed in the impact. Scorch lead the remaining Clones of the crash to Mushroom Kingdom, helping in it's defense and evacuation. After all denizens were evacuated, Scorch took what remained of the defenders and engaged Vaufendor's forces on open ground and taking some of their spawning portals. The battle came at a cost, causing a 60% mortality for Scorch's defenses, but it was a victory.

Knowing it would only be a matter of time before Mushroom Kingdom was overrun, Scorch managed to contact the fleet above, and took what defenders remained to evacuate the refugee camps scattered across the planet. His liberators moved through western Mushroom Kingdom, and into the Beanbean and Koopa Kingdoms. On the way, his forces gained volunteers, reinforcing his ground forces with what weapons the refugees and remaininG SWDF forces had, including tanks and aircraft.

Scorch's greatest failure came when he fought the demons on the Western coast of Star World. After hunting down a refugee camp that was under the saw of Vaufendor, the demons ambushed Scorch's liberators. Nearly all were killed. Scorch managed to escape with a small part of his forces, a majority of those killed by the elements or driven mad when the Titan revealed itself. Scorch's Zeus Armor, weapons, and his AI Erica were all destroyed by the metal-eating air emitted by the Titan. The loss of his friend and his army still haunts Scorch.

Scorch managed to retreat to a refugee camp, built out of a wrecked Starcruiser. There, he fended off the demon's forces, and watched Subsourian fight the Titan. When Sub nearly killed himself stalling the god, Scorch ran to the field, and carried him back to the camp, where he was given medical care for the remainder of the Dark Ages. He then was forced to defend the camp while Anubis faced down the Eater of Worlds, inevidably ending in a success.

Service to the Yoshi Bodyguards

Scorch managed to save the refugees, and was one of the few clone troopers to survive on Star World for the entire Dark Ages. He was promoted to Commander, leading the 1st ARC Trooper Regiment, uniting the remaining Advanced Reconnissance Commandos that survived through the Dark Ages. Scorch mostly served against the COUE up to their downfall, and was then reassigned to base duty.

His exploits with the Yoshi Bodyguards started when the base was raided by Bounty Hunters, each seeking information on the Alambic Sector's "Ultimate Power." It was Scorch that helped face down Gorea with Samus, devlivering several blows to the God-Creature iteself. Scorch returned to base, briefly aiding in a strange minimizing event for the Yoshi Bodyguards, forced to wander the base at a smaller size.

He then helped with several Operations on Pokeworld, helping Danny in finding his family and destroying the abomination that mimiced him, Dark Danny. Scorch was also leader of the group captured by Chozo sentry devices in The Shadows of Nor'Lesha, breaking out of prison to contact the Federation, getting them off of the planet.

When the first battle of Finichia broke out, starting the Metal Wars, Scorch was part of Sub's expedition to recover the Titan Dominatris. He personally fought the Necron's Nightbringer, inevidably failing against his might, though he did survive the day.

Scorch would serve in many more Metal Wars battles, giving the 1st ARC Troopers fame. He personally delivered the bomb that devistated the Metal Army fleet in the Mid-Rim campaign, and his men held back forces in the Talon system, holding out against entire legions even with no reinforcements or cover. Scorch gained fame here, though he was there to help the Yoshi Bodyguards in several more missions, namely against Dark Danny and COUE remiants.

When the Yoshi Bodyguards broke up, Scorch was given no choice in the matter of joining the SWDF. His 1st ARC Trooper Regiment's fame, though, gave him access to many aspects of the SWDF life. He himself could pick and choose missions assigned to him, allowing him to work with Team TOT when he so chose.

Modern Years

Scorch's work with Team TOT was mostly limited to a major event involving a massive ghost Pokemon that threatened the sector. He was given permission to partake in aiding Team TOT alone, battling across space and time to fight the monster. In the end, Nocktor was destroyed, and Scorch brought back to Star World in time for the Metal Army invasion. With the aid of Frob and Bread, Scorch turned the tide of the battle of Fort Me'Chai, breaking their invasion in several sectors before they could gain a foothold.

Scorch then was assigned to recover Domanatris. He, Frob, and Bread arrived, just as the Copper Legion attacked the Yoshi Bodyguard position around the Titan. After all seemed lost, the Vhozon showed up, stating the Metal Army was a threat to them as well, as they had something in their posession with the cabilities to destroy everybody. Scorch used their help to defeat the Copper Legion, and took Domantris to Mekkai.

When Scorch landed, the three of them joined in the final battle against Metal Sneezier and Ultra Stuffwell. Scorch was given s atrange power through the battle, enabling him to speed through space in an orb of light. Scorch aided in the Metal Army's final defeat, and was given honors for his service to Star World.
