Dark
Relic This story takes place a few months after Xt's arrival on earth. Xt has already designed and built a base of operations separate from the Domain. He has hidden it over three miles underground, close enough to the core that he can tap the fearsome heat to re-energize his depleted power cells when needed. No other guyver knows of this place. He has given it no name for he remembers nothing to name it after. He uses his knowledge of energy systems to build a massive computer network, into which he downloads his own memory engrams, The system will take over five years to complete its task and restore his memory to a hyper transcript.
He spends much time thinking about his past, and his future. He knows that until he can remember everything he will not be able to face his destiny. His Hideaway is located under the island of Cerberus in the mid-atlantic. Cerberus is uninhabited and he has set up a holographic projector and force field system to keep it that way.
Suddenly he hears a faint call from somewhere close by. He opens a
transit portal and leaps through it to a position about fifty thousand miles
away from the earth. In the distance the moon cast a deathly pale on Xt, but
much closer are the flashes and flares of extraorbital combat. A small ship is
being persued by a horde of about fifty proto-zoalords and three zoa-gods. Xt
look closely at the damaged vessel which although close to structural collapse
is still making a vain effort to to reach earth. The call he hears is very
familiar, and seems to be coming from that ship.
He opens his chestplate and powers up the Plasmasmasher. As the
ship, damaged and spiraling out of control whisked past he released the plasmasmasher into the crowd of zoaforms that were in close persuit. The blast
ripped apart one of the zoagods and destroyed thirty-seven of the weaker
protozoalords. The rest of the zoalords were badly damaged and teleported back
to their moon stronghold. The two Zoagods rushed at Xt forgetting about the
ship which made a rather messy landing on earth. They both fire withering blasts of energy at Xt, He dodges one and
blocks the other with his shielding. Shunting power to his plasma blades he
rushed at the two Zoagods. He had ripped an arm off one and on the rebound he
cut the other one with his shin blade. The one with only one arm tried to grab
him. So Xt introduced his brains to hard vacuum by driving his forward
plasmablade through his skull. The other zoagod was about to continue its attack when a blast
field erupted behind him and Fighter
and Warrior appeared already opening their Megasmashers. The blast vaporized
the zoagod and continued on its way out of the solar system. " Thought you
might need some added fireworks in this little light show of yours."
Fighter grins behind his armor and strikes the dashing superhero pose. "
The ship." " Where is the ship." Xt doesn't have time for banter
right now. He has to find out why that ship seemed so familiar.
"It landed in the foothills of Scotland, rather hard
too." Xt then opens a portal and floats through it to the site of the
crash. A second later both warriors arrive. Fighter wobbles and falls over.
" Man, Zero-G really messes you up when you come back. Xt deals with the
momentary dizziness and approaches the ruined craft. Its curves are not the
curves of a relic but the curves of a streamline metal hull of some red metal.
The dorsal stabilizer was sheared of by the impact and lays thirty feet away.
It slowly dissolves into a liquid and flows back to the ship. Repairing the
hull breaches and shoring up the sagging superstucture. Slowly a tentacle of fluid metal
forms on the side of the craft, it reaches out to the ground and
deposits a small cube of black metal on the ground. Warrior walks over and
reaches down to pick it up. As his fingers brush its surface it glows and
begins to levitate Warrior steps back and the cube floats toward Xt. It engages
a link with his control medal and downloads its entire memory bank into Xt's
mind. Xt falls to the ground unconscious. Three days later Xt awakens at the Domain. He stands up and begins
to gather a virtual firestorm of energy around him. He uses this energy to form
a portal. This portal is brighter and less stable than the portals he uses for
planetary transit. As he steps through Jessica enters the room. She sees only the
portal and calling her guyver she leaps through as it closes. Xt senses her
following him and slows his forward momentum to drop back to her. Black has hit
the wall of the portal and has become trapped by it's magnetic field, she is
slowly being torn apart by the awesome forces pulling from all sides. Xt
approaches and channels a shield bubble around her and slowly draws her back
into the eye of the Interspacial matrix he uses to traverse this plane of
existence.
He pulls her limp form out of the chaotic hurricane and jets at
full speed to the exit portal. He opens this portal and floates out, into utter
blackness. He has taken them to Pluto orbit and sets down on the moon Charon.
He lays Black down and waits for her to regain her equilibrium. When her vision
clears she finds a very angry Xt waiting for her. " I did not ask for your
assistance. You could have killed yourself needlessly. From now on when
navigating a extended portal stay clear of the walls." Black is taken
aback by this but understands his anger, if he had not been there she would
have been torn to atoms.
"I
didn't know what had happened to you, all I saw was a portal out of the room
and you gone.” Xt sighs, “ I don’t have the time to send you back to Earth so
it looks like you will have to come with me. I received these co-ordinates from
an old friend that I met a few thousand years ago. His planet was destroyed by
a massive Creator Battleship that had no crew and was fully sentient. This ship
became known as Kilera-renz which translated would be Dark Relic. The small
cube that disabled me was a micro data-storage device containing all his
knowledge about this relic. Apparently he caught up to it, but it was too
powerful for him to destroy. His ship was near total collapse when he launched
that small tracker pod containing his entire computer memory. It followed my
course for millennia until I finally stopped long enough for it to catch up to
me.” Black took all this rather well. “ Why did he give you these coordinates?”
Xt
remained motionless. “ Because its next target in line was Earth.” As he
finished a weird flash of red light pronounced the arrival of the biggest relic
black had ever seen. Its surface was completely space black and bristled with
strange towers and spines that could only be an advanced weapons system.
“Its
here. Hopefully we can find someway to stop it.” Black guyver watched in awe. “
Why didn’t you tell the others about this ship, bring all of them along?” “ I
was coming to test the power of this ship, get a reading on its abilities,
before informing the rest of you about it. I felt the last thing you needed was
another crisis to deal with that might turn out to be nothing.”
Suddenly the Ship changed position, landing on Charon a few hundred miles from the
guyvers. Most of the larger spines began to gather energy which the ship used
to open a massive portal right in Charon’s Path. Both guyvers took off trying
to get clear of Charon before the moon disappeared into the portal, they
failed. “ So thats how it destroys planets, it hurls a moon through a portal
into a collision course with the world.”
“ I think calling it nothing would be a bad move, Don’t you?” Xt
gathered the energy to again create a portal back to earth. But right as he
opened it the normaly red portal began to flicker and spark before it
collapsed. In its place a dark blue portal appeared and out stepped the
strangest guyver they had yet seen. “Well Well Well, what have we here, an weak alien guyver, and a
weak human unit, I think I am going to enjoy this.” Xt took a battle position.
“ Who are you?” The guyver also prepared for battle. “ I am Zguyver, and you my
little playthings are dead.” With that he opened his chestplate and quickly
fired a full megasmasher, Xt raised a shield but the blast quickly overwhelmed
it and he was caught in the afterblast, The blast charred his armor and flung
him backwards, stunned
“Nice forcefield, that should have fried you.” He said as he turned to Black. She had been caught on the periphery of the megasmasher blast and had lost an arm and her armor for the most part was a smoking mess. She fired a pressure cannon at Zguyver, but he simply blocked it with his shield. He then fired a hand beam through her midsection shearing off her legs. Zguyver was starting to get bored with her when XT slammed into his shield, easily penetrating it and punching both foward plasmablades into his back, ripping up he tore both the guyver’s arms off.
“Next time finish what you start.” Zguyver falls back and signals
the ship for help. “ I am the Zoalord Guyver, Child and servant of the
Creators, I have come to help you complete your mission, but two guyvers who
wish to see it fail have attacked me. I request your assistance in this battle.
“ The massive ship turned a lens like eyetowards them and as Xt started his
charge to finish off Zoalord it fired a massive energy beam at them all. The
beam caused small storms of blue lighning to ripple over the three guyvers.
Soon all three were unconscious, and their control medals were stunned by the
overload of exotic energies.
The ship then used a gravity generator to draw the three paralyzed
guyvers inside. The ship had not encountered guyvers in ages. Finally its
experiments could continue. Slowly the ship turned towards the sun and began
the long trek to the third planet to sterilize it. Soon its mission would be
complete, and then it would find the beings that had created it, and it would
for better or worse destroy them too.
