The Guyver: Rapier Unit - by Owen Ward

We all know that this part of a fanfic is full of the usual blabber, ie, characters based on original story by Yoshiki Takaya, all other characters are fictional, property of me don't use them............. etc...............

So, now that is over, then on with chapter 3!

Chapter 3: The Appearance

Mizuki woke to the sound of the heating system banging and creaking about, obviously someone was having a shower or a bath! She groaned and rolled over, slowly opening her eyes and jumped as she saw Sho stood there!

"What's this?" she asked, sitting upright.

"Breakfast in bed, it's also sort of an apology for knocking you over last night"

"Your sweet, it doesn't matter about last night it was an accident" she stated.

"Whatever, anyway I've also got to tell you that Agito, Murakami and I are going back to the site of our attack last night, to see if we can shed anymore light on this Dave"

"How long will you be?"

"We'll be back for lunch, we're taking the mobile phone so you can call just in case"

"OK, bye for now, and good luck"

"Thanks, bye, oh and by the way, I'll have a ham and mustard sandwich with some lettuce for lunch"

"You cheeky son of a............." shouted Mizuki as she threw her pillow at Sho as he dived out of the room and behind the bedroom door.

Murakami hit the brakes and the jeep slid to a halt, Sho and Agito helped him pull some branches over the jeep to hide it from view. They had to walk the final 3 miles to the site of the attack so that there was less chance of being seen or heard, plus it would be harder to follow footprints through a forest than it would be to follow tyre tracks. Plus they could travel through more dense foliage on foot rather than in a vehicle.

About 45 minutes later they stopped, and referred to one of their maps to check their position, 50 more metres and they would be right over the spot of the ambush, as they neared the site they heard a lot of activity, it was Chronos!

They saw a few scientists, checking the wreckage of the six vehicles, and a couple of trooper squads.

Suddenly the mobile phone rang, Agito quickly ripped it out of his pocket and pulled the battery out. He, Sho and Murakami all looked at each other, then glanced across at the Chronos activity.

They saw some of the scientists and troopers reach for their pockets.

"Oh shit!" whispered Murakami.

They saw the Chronos people look at each other and then there was a long silence, then they heard the crowd mumble to each other, Sho whispered to Agito "They think it's one of their phones, quick lets go before they realize it wasn't!". With that the three nodded to each other and began to scurry away into the depths of the forest.

"Keep going, I'll distract them for a while"

Murakami, Agito and Sho turned in shock to see man sat crouching at a tree stump they had just run past!

"What the f............"

"Just go" snarled the man, cutting Murakami short.

The three again looked at each other, then at the man as he turned and ran in the direction fron where they had just come. They carried on with their route, jumped into their jeep and held on tight while Murakami tested the laws of physics and the limits of vehicular motion!

Meanwhile the man they had passed in the woods pressed a button on a radio transmitter he had pulled from his pocket.

About two hundred metres away there were two sharps bangs, like a shotgun. Quickly the man rushed back to the point of the Chronos activity and ran away parallel to the track edge, some hundred metres away he picked up his backpack and picked up his rifle.

He walked back down the trail towards the Chronos activity.

"Any of you lot seen a deer run this way?"

"Excuse me sir but this area is under investigation, would you please leave" snorted a Chronos trooper.

"What happened, has their been a crash?"

"That is something we are here to find out sir, now please leave the area"

"What are you? Government?"

"Leave the area sir" repeated the trooper with a much sterner tone.

"OK, I know where I'm not wanted, oh do me a favour, if you see a deer send him my way" the hunter turned away, and a broad smile cast over his face.

"Who was that?" asked another trooper to the one who returned from the conversation with the hunter.

"Just some hunter looking for a deer, it was probably his mobile we heard, and almost definately him shooting.

I bet his phone went off, scared a deer out of the bush and then he shit himself with suprise and blasted away!"

The two troops howled with laughter at the thought.

The man walked back to his jeep which was half a mile down the trial hidden just a few metres from the side of the trial, he threw his backpack into the passenger seat, jumped in, and then sped off.

About 50 minutes later the jeep driven by Murakami pulled up at the front of the house.

The front door was opened and then slammed again behind the three, Agito led them in a rush towards the kitchen, as they passed each room he looked in to see if either of the Segawa children were there.

As Agito bundled in through the kitchen door he barked his head off "Who the hell phoned us?"

Mizuki and Tetsuro looked at each other, then glanced back at Agito.

"Which of you damn fools phoned?"

"Hey, no need to be like that!" Sho blasted back at Agito.

"We didn't phone" said the Segawa children.

"Look it was probably a wrong number Agito, just leave it" said Sho trying to calm the situation.

"Well, whoever the hell it was they nearly got us killed!" ranted Agito

"What happened?"

"Nothing to worry about Mizuki, it's just that the phone went off and we would have been caught if it wasn't for........." Sho went silent.

"If it wasn't for what?" said Mizuki, almost pleading for Sho to continue.

"If it wasn't for Dave"

Everybody looked at Sho.

"What makes you think that man was Dave?" blurted Murakami.

"Well, when we were ambushing the convoy, and Agito nearly got blasted, a voice shouted for us to go, when I tried to question the voice it just shouted GO. And then today, when you were about the ask that man what was going on, he cut you short and justed told us to go!"

"Good deduction there Sho"

Sho grinned smugly back at Murakami.

"Well, it certainly does look like he is a definate ally now!" remarked Mizuki.

After much debating it was decided that they would begin plans on their next ambush after thay had had some lunch.

"You three should go and clean up before you eat" remarked Mizuki, looking at Sho, Agito and Murakami.

They left to go to the bathroom and Mizuki retired to the front room to read her book, leaving Tetsuro in charge of burning the lunch!

Mizuki sat down on the couch and curled her legs up as she got herself comfortable so she could carry on with her book, after five minutes Mizuki was completely engrossed until suddenly she heard something that snapped her out of it.

Her head turned towards the window that looked out onto the front garden, she thought she had heard someone walking on the raised wooden porchway part of the front of the house, figuring she had just imagined it dhe returned to her book. She couldn't get back into her novel because the noise was playing on her mind. What if it was someone she had heard? She decided the only way to put her mind to rest was to go and have a look out of the front door.

Slowly she reached her hand down to the handle, she stood aside as she slowly opened the door, that way she only had to open it ever so slightly and she would still be able to see out of the gap. She looked out and could see nothing, so she cautiously opened the door further and further. Eventually she had the door wide open, and no-one was there to confront her.

She glanced down and saw a piece of paper on the wooden boards that made up the porchway, it was prevented from blowing away by a rock that had been placed on top of it.

She looked around carefully before she stooped down to pick up the note, as she removed the note from under the rock she kicked the rock off the wooden verandah. Quickly she stepped back into the house and slammed the door.

Agito heard the door slam and rushed to the top of the stairs only to look down and see Mizuki stood there with a piece of paper in her hand, "What have you got there Mizuki?"

"It seems as though Dave has visited again" replied Mizuki.
