Hyper
Space
An
infinite energy filled void that ebbs and flows with the cosmic tide
that links all realities and dimensions of the universe. Suddenly a
powerful vortex forms and rips into hyperspace from one of the near
infinite realities that link to it. Even before this vortex fully forms,
a large armoured form is thrown through its event horizon from normal
space, violently entering hyper space as it experienced massive
gravitonic stresses before finishing its transition into hyper space and
hurtling uncontrollably through its energy filled void. Ripples of
powerful energy fluxes then cascade around the large armoured being, as
it floats unprotected within hyperspace. Rapidly healing battle wounds
can be seen all over its body, even as the powerful energies around it
ruthlessly tear into its body. The pain engulfed unconscious being
relives a nightmarish memory from its past. Until finally it awakes with
a scream "NO!!!". The form of the being then explodes with a blinding
burst of energy that rips into the very fabric of hyper space. . . a
space rift explodes open and the being emerges through it, into normal
space. Right over an alien sun and was immediately grabbed by its
powerful gravity, with seconds to spare the armoured being focussed its
dwindling power to teleport home before its injuries again caused it to
lose consciousness. The being then disappeared in a flash of light
seconds before a solar flare roared through the space the armoured being
had been. . .
Chronos
LA HQ
Zoalord Fulton Balcus sat quietly in
his office chair, dryly looking at a report of the new batch of test
subjects, which had been brought to his Office from the Chronos Arizona
plant. He really loved the Arizona Zoalords, he thought sarcastically,
for the way they treated him. They always sent him the worst test
subjects, as each was what they deemed human genetic scum. Almost every
last one of these pieces of scum were physically defective in some way
or had a genetic based illness of some kind. They had unloaded all of
these onto him, the weakest Zoalord, not even a member of the Twelve,
but then he noticed a gem, a human female. She had been in a coma for
six months because of a cranial injury, induced by a blow to the head
from a blunt object. But it could be healed. With a little work, she
would make an ideal test subject for a new Zoalord body he was designing
for himself. He then looked on towards her human name. A thing he would
normally ignore, it was Fiona O'Conner. . .
Miles above the so called city of
angels, Los Angeles. Dreadnought appeared in a brilliant flash of light.
His control medal and body was badly damaged and no sooner had he
appeared had gravity grabbed him and he began to fall uncontrollably
towards the ground. Jason, the host of the Dreadnought was again
unconscious and unaware of his situation. But despite being badly
damaged, the control medal took over the unit. It activated
Dreadnought's gravity controllers but even with all five together,
because of Dreadnought's damaged state, it was only able to slow down
his descent. But it was already too little too late. . . A mile from the
Chronos LA HQ, Dreadnought violently smashes diagonally through an
abandoned building before crash landing through an alleyway that ends
with him ramming through a large steel dumpster, as he smashes into yet
another abandoned building, an old warehouse which had a "To Lease" sign
on it, before finally coming to rest in a pile of rubble. Needless to
say, he was not unnoticed. Two police officers where patrolling a street
nearby and heard Dreadnought's crash landing. They both ran towards the
location and called their headquarters, to alert them of the situation.
While inside the abandoned building lay Dreadnought. His armour was in a
severely damaged state, but the immediate threat was over, and the
Dreadnought armour disengaged, leaving a still damaged Warrior Guyver
behind, which was not totally covering the host. The two police officers
walked literally through the hole in the dumpster, watching out for bits
of warped sharp steel. Inside the building, it was dark but they could
clearly make out the glow of Warrior Guyver's control medal and eyes.
The two officers did not know what to make of this.
"You are in a restricted building,
stand down!" shouted one of the officers.
Warrior
Guyver was unresponsive to the statement and the two of them then showed
their true colours as one turned into a Gregore and the other into a
Zencrebe Hyper-Zoanoid. Warrior Guyver simply raised one arm and shot
his arm beam through the thick armoured spiked head of Zencrebe, killing
the Hyper-Zoanoid instantly. But the second the blast ended, there was a
cracking sound from the control medal of the Warrior Guyver, and the
unit disengaged and vanished, leaving a naked and still unconscious
Jason O'Conner to fall to the ground. The Gregore saw this as an
opportunity to eliminate this obvious threat and quickly ran up to him,
picked him up and was about to bite Jason's head off when he received a
mental command from Balcus, < "Stop you idiot, this could be a test
subject from Lord Valkus. Bring it immediately to headquarters">. The
Gregore instantly obeyed and flung Jason over its shoulder, turned and
looked at the decomposing body of Zencrebe. Whatever this thing was,
over his shoulder, it killed Zencrebe faster than any other zoanoid or
hyper-zoanoid that Gregore knew of, but a Zoalord had commanded him and
he had no choice but to obey. He then continued to walk out of the
building, through the hole, pushing the dumpster out of his way, so as
to not damage what he now viewed as an injured zoanoid. . .
Back at the LA headquarters, Balcus
was in telepathic contact with Zoalord Valkus. <"Lord Valkus, it looks
as if one of my zoanoids have found a missing test subject of yours.">
<"No Balcus, that is not possible.
Whatever you have found is not one of mine, all my zoanoids are
accounted for. But you have picked my interest. What exactly is it you
have found?">
<"It was a being capable of firing a
high intensity energy beam, that instantly killed a Zencrebe with one
direct shot to the head. I saw it through the eyes of a Gregore.">
Balcus then sent the image of what he
saw of the Warrior Guyver to Valkus, who responded, <"Balcus, keep that
being alive, I will be in Los Angeles soon, with Gyro.">
The link
was then broken, leaving Balcus to wonder exactly what he has stumbled
upon. . .
Meanwhile, as the Gregore walked down
the alleyway, it stopped as it heard some commotion behind it. He turned
around and saw two homeless men, he noticed one of the men was black and
the other was a young white guy but thought nothing of them and turned
back towards the main street, where a Chronos truck was going to meet
him.
Ten feet further on, one of the
homeless men shouted out, "Hey, green fuck, turn around, you sorry
mutated son of a bitch".
This enraged Gregore but he did not
lose sight of how important the person on top of his shoulder was and
continued on, promising to himself that he would return and kill the two
lowly humans.
One of the homeless guys turned to
the other and said, "Doesn't seem to be listening to you old man."
The other responded saying, "What the
hell are you doing, calling me old man? I'm only a few years older than
you and trust me. I'll get that green son of a bitch to listen."
"Yeah, right pops."
"POPS!"
Then the
black man pulled out a 50 Cal. Desert Eagle handgun and aimed it, with
both hands, at Gregore's head and fired. The powerful bullet hit right
on target but did nothing to the zoanoid except piss him off totally.
The Gregore dropped Jason onto the ground and turned around roaring,
"You're going to die you human scum". But those were the last words the
zoanoid would ever utter, because behind the two men, lying under some
newspapers on the ground, was another apparently homeless man, armed
with a McMillan M88 rifle. He fired with expert precision, hitting
Gregore right in the left eye, the bullet continued on through his brain
and as it hit the back of his scull, it exploded, blowing apart the
zoanoids head. The headless zoanoid body then fell to its knees before
collapsing to the ground and started to evaporate. The two homeless men
then quickly ran around the dead zoanoid, towards Jason and looked him
over, wondering why he was so important to the Gregore. Then the black
homeless man turned him over and saw his face. A shocked look of
recognition crossed his face and he said, "My God, it's Jason O'Conner".
One day later, Jason awoke on a bed,
in a near pitch dark room, and quickly sensed that he was naked under
the sheets. Then the memory of the past few days shot through his head.
He'd been asked by a white female Guyver, called Ira, to help fight off
a group of evil Creators, led by an alternative universe Krullnar. He
had then met a super being, called Atrahasis. A being so powerful that
it took the combined might of all the Guyvers there to defeat it and
with its last attack, he was caught in something. A spacial rift of some
kind, it damaged his unit. Leaving him only fragmented memory of being
in intense pain, then a moment of clarity in what must have been hyper
space before returning to normal space, right where he had left off, and
that was the last thing he remembered until now. Jason then tried to sit
up but found that he had been tied down to the bed with restraining
straps. He looked around and was wishing he could at least see where he
was when his eyes suddenly adapted to the near total darkness and he
could suddenly make out his surroundings, as clear as day. At first he
thought the lights had been turned on but then realized his sight had
been enhanced. <"That's a nice new trick."> he thought to himself as he
then looked around and saw that he was in a small room, with a single
steel door. He had no idea how he got there but he wasn't about to just
lay there and started to strain against his restraints. The restraints
were strong, so he decided to call his armour but as soon as he tried,
he felt a sudden jolt as his unit sent him a sudden wave of information.
It could not be summoned because it was badly damaged but it was
repairing itself. Jason almost cursed aloud at this realization. He was
being held prisoner, God knew were, and he was powerless to do anything
about it. In a burst of anger he strained against the restraints and
they suddenly snapped as if they were made of tissue paper. Surprised,
he quickly freed himself of the restraints. He then quickly wondered how
he had broken free so easily but then he remembered that he did have
some power without his unit. <"Damn!"> he thought,< "I really should
have gotten the doc to check me out after merging with the Matrix. . .
Oh well, looks like I'm going to have field test my new abilities."> He
then looked at the floor, right beside his bed and noticed he was hooked
up to an I.V. and carefully pulled it out. A quick sniff revealed it was
a sedative, his body must have adapted and neutralized its effect but
there was no telling how long he had been kept unconscious. Though the
fact his armour was still repairing itself was a good indication that it
wasn't long. He then sat up and grabbed some cloths that was on the only
chair in the room. He knew whoever had put him in this room would
probably be back soon, to check on him, and he better get his bearings
in case they weren't friendly. He reached out with his mind and sensed
that he was underground and above was a building. Reasonably sure that
no one was about to enter the room, he started to get dressed. His mind
focussed on the two pairs of socks outside his reach and, to his
amazement, the two socks moved towards him. He smiled and thought to
himself that he was not completely powerless and finished dressing, then
he put on a pair of runners, which was beside the chair. Jason stood up
and started to look around his location. There was no window but he knew
he was underground and above him where a large number of other very
large and tall buildings. He was in a city for sure, but he had no idea
which one. He turned back around and tried to open the door to the room
but it was locked and both it and the walls had been reinforced with
steel bars. But he was not going to let a little thing like that get in
his way. He stood right beside the door, with only a few inches between
him and it as he summoned the energy from his blast shield. Despite its
weakened state, the blast shield, which could be used to protect Jason,
was focussed against the door and blasted it with considerable force,
but the door withstood the blast and was only dented slightly outward.
"Damn!",
Jason exclaimed as he realized he was in a pressure chamber. A battle
ship would sink before one of these things would burst open. He then
punched the door in anger, but instead of hurting his hand, the blow
left a light impression of his fist on the door. Surprised, he looked at
his hand and realized it was glowing and then opened his hand to see a
ball of plasma energy quickly form in his palm. Jason thought of some of
the new powers his Warrior Unit had shown since merging with the Matrix
and decided to try something as he pointed both his palms toward the
door and then willed his energy to form a Power Wave attack. Jason's
blast field again activated but this time its energy merged and focussed
with the plasma energy in Jason's hands and within a second, a powerful
blast of energy lanced out from his hands and smashed into the door,
blasting it to bits. Jason smiled at the realization that he had some
real power in his human form, as he walked through the mess that he had
made and carefully walked around the shards of molten metal. He was now
in a corridor, with a radiation warning sticker on the wall. <"Hmm, must
be in some sort of old cold war bomb shelter."> Jason thought as he
followed the corridor to stairs leading up. He passed two more floors
that held barracks and supplies of all sorts, before coming to an old
style freight elevator with a simple up/down switch. Jason got on and
clicked up. He soon got out on the ground floor of an abandoned office
building. He didn't see any exits, but sensed that the building he was
in was connected to another, on an upper floor. He found the stairs and
made his way up to the fifth floor. There he noticed some windows that
were boarded up, so he stepped up to one and ripped out one of the
boards. Looked out and then knew with a cold certainty that he was in an
English speaking country, from the billboard he saw on a building across
the street, but it was the fact that it was a Chronos controlled region,
as the billboard picture a Gregore zoanoid playing baseball of all
things, that sent a cold chill through him. This clinched it, he had
made it back to Earth alright, but had again wound up behind enemy
lines, this narrowed things down he thought, as it could be reasoned
that he was either in either the Texas or Arizona State. The whole place
was a mess, whatever the place was before Chronos got to this city, it
has long since been abandoned. But that brought up the question, how the
hell did he get there? Just then he sensed the approach of some men from
the other building as they crossed over and entered the building he was
in, on the eighth floor. . .
Elsewhere in the city, at Chronos LA
HQ, two men arrived by helicopter. Around the landing pad stood a lot of
men dressed in black suits, waiting for the important occupants. The
doors of the passenger helicopter opened up and then two of Chronos most
powerful beings, Zoalord Hamilcal Valkus and Zoalord Reichmann Gyro,
walked out. The loss of the unknown, suspected to be hyper zoanoid,
concerned Dr Valkus and was foremost in his thoughts as they then walked
between the guards and another five men walked out of the helicopter.
They where the Hyper-Zoanoid Team 5. The five most powerful zoanoids
ever made by Chronos and the work of one man, Hamilcal Valkus.
Valkus
and Gyro, both, did not like Fulton Balcus. Balcus was viewed as a
embarrassing reminder of the failures which can be made during the
zoalord process. If not for the fact that Alkanphel, for some unknown
reason, still valued this pathetic excuse for a zoalord, Valkus would
have arranged for his disposal long ago. Even though he was somewhat
valued, Valkus, using his contacts in Chronos Arizona, had always made
it hard for Balcus to improve himself. Since, as he saw it, there was no
way there was going to be thirteen Supreme Zoalords. Gyro had similar
thoughts, as he also shared this view, as he looked at a Lisker, a
rather strong class of zoanoid but nothing compared to his Zerebubuse or
Zektole. He scanned this zoanoids mind and found out that it was one of
the main security officers for Balcus. He had supervised the incoming
shipment from Arizona HQ and he was the one responsible for finding a
human, suitable for tests on Balcus's new zoalord body. Gyro would have
to arrange for this zoanoid to be killed. He informed Valkus of his
discovery telepathically and the two decided they would have to arrange
a test for mister Lisker with a Zerebubuse and the disposal of Fiona
O'Conner. . .
Back at the abandoned office
building, Jason had found a lift. But it was not working. He looked
around it and found a door which led to more stairs. He realised though
that he didn't have time to run up the stairs and avoid whoever was
coming, and down led only to a dead end. Three seconds later, he heard
voices as a number of people where walking down the stairs towards him.
Jason turned back and looked around. At the back of an open area was an
office, with some blinds at the opposite side of the room he was in now,
he quickly ran to it and hid. A few moments later, three men, dressed in
bum like street cloths, walked into the open area of the office. Two of
them looked white and the other man was black. They already had their
guns drawn and were carefully checking the area, obviously they had been
alerted by some alarm that Jason had set off during his escape. The
black man gave hand signals to the white guys, ordering one to stay by
the stairs while the other checked the rest of the floor, the black man
then started to walk towards the office he was in. Then, as the man got
closer to him, Jason got a good look at his face and realized, with a
little shock, whom it was. The guy was Atkins, one of his oldest friends
since the days he worked for the FBI. He was only a trainee when he met
him and they had always kept a good friendship. Atkins would have been
his best man if not for an even longer friendship with his long time
friend Andrew. Who died the day of his wedding. If not for the fact
Atkins was off at assignment, the day of Jason's wedding, chances are
that he would be dead as well now. Relieved, Jason opened the door and
walked out into the open office area.
"Hey old man, how are you doing? I've
not seen you since that time in Europe, with the other Guyvers." said
Jason.
Atkins quickly pointed his Desert
Eagle at Jason and replied, "I've not been in Europe for two years and
you're some zoanoid freak, as the real Jason O'Conner died on his
wedding day." said Atkins.
"What the fuck are you on about? I
didn't die then, yeah, sure, I've died a few times while battling other
Guyvers but nothing serious." said Jason jokingly.
"What the hell are you talking about
boy, you look one hell of a lot younger than you where at your wedding
day. There has been way too many fishy things happening, since the fall
of the USA, for me to except whatever the hell you're saying." said
Atkins before he cocked the trigger of his gun.
"Hey, hold it Atkins, it's me, trust
me, and what the hell do you mean by the fall of the United States, we
where winning, technically, when I left to face the Creators a few days
ago."
Behind Atkins, the other man walked
into view, it was Sean Barker. But Jason immediately noticed that there
was something very different about him. He was not a Guyver or he could
no longer sense the fact if he was. Normally no matter what form Jason
was in, he could tell who where Guyvers and who where not, he could even
tell who was a zoanoid. Jason quickly tried to scan Sean's mind and was
surprised when he could. No matter what form he was before, a Guyver,
being out of control, was beyond that skill of his because it naturally
blocked it. He then scanned Sean's mind closer and he knew, after a few
seconds, that this was a very different Sean Barker from the man he
knew.
"Oh crap! Okay, this is freaking me
out, I'd had enough of these fucking alternate realities." said Jason.
"Alternate realities!?. . . You crazy
son of a bitch, stand there and shut the fuck up." said Sean.
"Listen you two, I'm not from here,
I'm from another universe altogether. We all knew each other there and
we all fought Chronos there." said Jason.
"We only fought Chronos once man, and
that was at your wedding and like I said before, you where killed." said
Atkins.
"Atkins, in my world, it was not me
who died, you where not there at my wedding day, you where looking for
Sean, who happened to be a Guyver like me, during that day the church
was attacked and Fiona was killed by falling debris." said Jason.
"No, now I know you're a fake, that's
not the way it happened, Sean never joined us until Chronos attacked the
States and he is sure as hell is no zoanoid or Guyver, whatever word you
want to call you monsters. You were killed by falling shit and Fiona was
hit on the head by a beam of wood. I pulled her out but unfortunately
the poor woman suffered brain damage." said Atkins.
"Fiona not dead!?", asked a surprised
Jason.
"She was in a comatose state and put
into a hospital in Dallas. While Chronos took over everywhere, and then
she was moved to an unknown Chronos base." said Atkins.
"You don't know what the hell
happened to her, don't you?"
"No we don't, what should we care
about some comatose woman!?" said Sean.
Jason glared at Sean. Anger filled
him, he knew this was a strange moment for all three men, and tried to
clam down. Getting angry now could cost him on this alien world and from
what he could sense from Atkins, he was telling the truth about Fiona.
Deep in hyperspace, he could sense the fact his unit was repairing the
damage done to it by the Atrahasis, but also sensed that the Matrix was
still a part of him in his human form, granting him a level of power
even without his armour, and it would not be long before he'd have the
power of his Warrior Guyver form once again. He looked once again at
Atkins.
"Where is Fiona?"
"I don't know Jason, or whoever you
are. Lets stop with the mind games and tell us who you really are and
what does Chronos want with you?" said Atkins.
"Fine, I guess in this world, the
Chronos LA base was not destroyed as you their, Sean, did not become a
Guyver?"
"Yes, the main LA base is still
active and I was never a fucking Guyver you strange warped mother fuck."
said Sean.
"Then I'll be leaving you two, take
care of yourself Atkins, thanks for pulling Fiona from the church."
"No, you're staying right here
prisoner." said Sean.
"No, I'm not." said Jason.
A barrier
shield appeared around Jason, destroying the floor below him. Atkins
fired his gun, only for the bullets to be destroyed by the shield. Jason
still could not summon the Warrior Unit but with the barrier shield
around him, he could feel that he had some control over the forces of
gravity. It was like as if he had the gravity orb on his waste, and as
soon as he realised that, he thought up and Atkins and Sean both looked
on in amazement as Jason literally flew up through the ceiling, like it
was nothing. Within a few seconds he had cleared out through the roof of
the building and was gone into the sky above. Jason knew it was not a
good idea, in his present state, to attack a Chronos HQ. Even at full
power, with his older Warrior Guyver form, he had trouble when he
attacked the Chronos Dallas HQ. But this was different. This world
seemingly never had discovered the Guyver units. They would not be
prepared to face a being with any sort of power. Well, that was what he
hoped. According to Sean, well the Sean of his world that is. The
processing tanks of Chronos LA where in the basement level of the
building. If he could destroy the zoanoids there first, then he could
take on the Zoalord that controlled the base and if it were anything
like the Zoalord Sean killed there, he would not have much trouble with
that. But that's only if things went bad. . .
Inside
Chronos LA HQ, Gyro was looking at the blond hair on Fiona O'Conner's
head as she floated naked in a Chronos bio-tube. She was simply a pawn
in a game she was not even aware of, between Balcus and a number of
other Zoalords. Zoalords, that if he had a chance to, he'd destroy. So
he was not about to allow Balcus to become the 13th
Member to the Chronos Supreme Overlords. She had not yet been converted,
but an interesting idea came to mind. Chronos LA was famous for its
large number of failures. It would not be hard for Gyro to arrange that
she would become one of those failures and never would she become a
Proto-Zoalord. He smiled, a cold wicked smile, at the thought of his
simple solution. . .
Inside
Chronos Arizona, sitting around the round table at the celestial hall,
sat Zoalord Purg'stall and Zoalord Alkanphel. They where both discussing
recent events and the progress of how the human population of the USA
was being converted into zoanoids when Alkanphel felt something strange
coming from what was meant to be a dead fossil Relic, at the core of the
Arizona base. Alkanphel stopped talking and a few seconds later
Purg'stall also felt the strange sensation that Alkanphel must also be
sensing. The two Zoalords stood up and looked at each other with
confusion and then made their way outside the hall and into the glass
corridor that circled the hollow interior of the Arizona base, where the
Relic rested. There they both saw something above the Relic. It was a
light blue crystal, but it was so small that they could only make out
its glow. Purg'stall looked towards Alkanphel, only to see him teleport
away and reappear above the Relic, like a bolt of lightning, in his
Zoalord battle from. There above the Relic, Alkanphel did not have a
clue at what he was looking at. It was a crystal of some sort that was
changing shape constantly. Though one thing was constant. It was
emitting a beam down to a section of the dead Relic. Alkanphel's eyes
focused on that section of the Relic and he noticed something with a
shock. It was coming back to life. Whatever that crystal thing was, it
had the ability to regenerate the creations of the Creators. If that was
the case, then it could do the same to him and finally, after so many
eons of time, he would be back at his full fighting capability.
Alkanphel then flew under the crystal, between it and the Relic, and
instantly he could feel the damage done to his body start to heal. . .
Jason was
now a block away from Chronos LA HQ. All around him where people going
around, taking care of their day to day business. Almost every person he
scanned had one thing that was not on his or her minds. That was
Chronos. Strangely enough, the people, of this worlds USA, did not
consider Chronos to be in anyway a hindrance to their day-to-day life.
Most people he scanned considered that their life was not impacted at
all. Though there was the odd person who hated them for the death of a
loved one or the fact that now, if you called a policeman, you where
talking with a zoanoid. But others even saw that as an advantage as
crime had died pretty much under Chronos rule. Who in their right mind
would rob a house, to find themselves mutilated by a zoanoid cop or
dragged away to become a test subjects for some new zoanoid design? This
sickened Jason. These people would not fight for there freedom as
Chronos had simply bought them out. Well then, he'd have to set-up a
Chronos rebellion on this world, before he left, and remind people what
freedom was like before Chronos showed its ugly face. Jason by now had
made his way to the front of the Chronos building. He had been here
before, two odd years ago, after the destruction done by Sean. If not
for that event, LA would not have been so easy to retake from Chronos.
But then he took notice over what he was wearing. There would not be
much chance of him simply walking into the building with what he was
wearing. All around him people where wearing suites but then he realised
something. Two types of people normally get into an office building.
People in suites and in Chronos case, black suites and then deliverymen.
Jason turned back and looked around and saw a sandwich bar. Well, even
zoanoids must get hungry. The question then was what time was it? He'd
lost his watch, along with pretty much all his cloths, when he was
regenerated. If only his Guyver could regenerate things like that. He
stood there for a few seconds, waiting and then saw an opportunity. A
woman, who was walking by, had just checked her watch. With a simple
passive scan of her mind, he found that his timing was perfect. It was
ten to twelve. Almost lunch time. Though now he realised that he had no
money, but given the circumstances, he might as well engage in some
telekinetic five-fingered discount. Strange thing about Jason was, even
though he had the most powerful battle Guyver armour he'd ever seen, he
still believed in God and knew that stealing was wrong. If anything, it
was that God fearing nature of Jason that stopped him from going over
the edge and try to take over the world, with him as the ruler. It might
seem strange to power hungry people, that Jason could kill over a
hundred zoanoids, who where really just genetically altered humans, and
not give it a second thought. But to actually do those sorts of things
with an evil and selfish motive was not something that Jason could do.
But after meeting some alternate world Guyvers, Jason now always
wondered what would happen if he ever lost that ability to control his
ambition. At the moment he had Chronos to face and destroy, but what the
hell would happen to him if he destroyed them and no longer had anything
to fight? . . .
Jason refocused his thoughts to the
goal at hand and now stood only two feet away from the sandwich bar and
was about to steal the food when a man walked by him, who was a zoanoid
which Jason swore he recognized. Jason followed him and started to scan
the zoanoid and realised who it was. The man was Alfrid Drano. In his
own world, he was the top Disciple Zoalord for the USA and second in
command of the group overall. But in this world, things where not so
good for him. Jason scanned his mind in more detail and found that he
was childless. This made him wonder about that strange Guyver 4, who was
in the Dallas HQ office of Drano's. But this one was not so lucky.
Though he believed himself to be. He was a Zerebubuse type hyper-zoanoid
here, in this world, and was in no way connected to the top levels of
Chronos like the Drano he knew of. This was proving to be an interesting
day. But then Jason picked up something from his thoughts that picked
his interest. It was concerning a shipment that was made from the
Arizona HQ to the LA HQ of live human cargo. It turned out that Gyro,
who strangely enough was still alive here, was incredibly annoyed with
him over letting a subject over, who could be used by Balcus to rebuild
his zoalord form. This was confusing Jason, but the next bit totally
messed him up. Drano was remembering the face of the female test
subject. Her face was that of Fiona, the woman he was meant to marry if
not for that Elf bastard Alkanphel, who killed her.
Rage filled Jason. No longer could he
hold his cool anymore. He felt that if he did not act now, that he could
lose his chance to get Fiona back. Deep in hyperspace, the Warrior Unit
felt the distress from its host. In the day that had past, it had
repaired almost all the damage done to the primary unit. But the
Dreadnought armour was only back up to ten percent. Without the Matrix
that was on the Prime unit it would remain damaged for over two weeks.
Jason knew this as his unit relayed the information to him. He had an
option. Activate his unit now and battle an unknown Chronos force and
attempt to rescue his wife, or leave his unit where it was for the next
day and attack in his Dreadnought form and completely obliterate
Chronos. Jason knew though that he could use his unit now and then
deactivate it later, to repair the Dreadnought armour. He knew that his
unit would have three functional c-sections, which would bring him up to
sixty or even up to seventy five percent of his normal functional range.
More than enough to get in and out of Chronos LA before Alkanphel got
there to protect them, but blasting his way in might get Fiona killed as
well. What was he to do? . . .
Jason finally decided on trying to
sneak into the building and walked up behind Drano and was only a few
feet from him when he grabbed his head and broke his neck, as he quickly
dragged the body into an alleyway. Assured that no one had seen him,
Jason was about to remove Drano's cloths when the body suddenly started
to evaporate and destroyed the cloths in the process.
"Damn! Looks like I'm going to have
to try the delivery boy routine." Jason thought aloud, before he notices
his palms were glowing again. He looked down at them and then noticed
that the plasma energy was flowing from his hands and started to engulf
his body. Before he had time to think what was happening, he was
completely covered and then Jason found that he now appeared to be
Drano. Jason realized that he had somehow instinctively created a
hologram of Drano around himself.
<"Cool. Now this can be a very useful
power."> Jason thought to himself with a smile. So long as no one
questioned him, he should be able to just waltz on in and get to Fiona
without the slightest resistance.
Jason then made his way to the
Chronos LA building and walked through the main doors, into the
reception centre. The guards there saluted him, he returned the salute
and was about to make his way to the elevator when he sensed one of the
guards get a telepathic message from who must be Balcus. The guards then
yelled to him to halt and then yells, "Drano is dead, you are an
impostor. Surrender or die!" Then all the guards started to transform
into zoanoids.
Jason whispered, "Oh Crap!" before
turning around and dropping the hologram of Drano. He looked upon the
zoanoids, they were an assortment of thirty, composed of fifteen
Ramotith, ten Vamores, and five Gregores.
Jason then thought to himself that he
better keep them guessing, before smiling and saying, "Surrender!? I
don't think so." Jason then vanished before them as he cloaked. . .
Surprised, the zoanoids quickly looked around to see where he had gone,
only to find that each of them now faced one of him. Jason had created
thirty holograms of himself in front of each of the zoanoids.
Chaos then ensued as the zoanoid
quickly attacked the holograms, thinking that at least one was the real
Jason, but none where real and each zoanoid only attacked empty air. The
holograms then disappeared and another Jason appeared near the building
entrance. He whistled to attract the zoanoids attentions and then waved
bye as he walked out. The zoanoids roared and they started to charge
after him but just as they reached the doors, Jason again disappeared.
But they didn't have to wait long before the real Jason reappeared in
the exact spot he originally disappeared from.
Jason then cupped his hands and aimed
at the zoanoids as he yelled out, "Thanks for lining yourselves up for
me. Now let me give you freaks a taste of real power". Jason then
started to glow as he powered up his Power Wave attack. Before any of
the Zoanoids had time to react, a massive energy blast erupted from
Jason's hands. Three of the Zoanoid managed to dodge out of the way but
the rest where quickly vaporized as the blast engulfed them. So powerful
was the blast that even after vaporizing the twenty seven zoanoids, it
still had enough power to explosively blast through the front of the
building and into a building across from it. Sending glass flying into
the street as if a bomb had gone off. Now only one of each type of
zoanoid remained.
The Ramotith ran up to an intercom
while the Vamore charged up its laser and the Gregore prepared to
charge. The Ramotith quickly pressed the intercom button and screamed,
"Code Red! We need re-enforcements now!"
The Gregore, by then, had reached
Jason and now grappled with him in a test of strength that both found to
their surprise, Jason was winning. Jason had half expected to need to
call upon his blast field but the Gregore actually seemed weak to him.
The Matrix must be making me as strong as a Guyver, Jason surmised
before breaking the Gregore's arms and pushing it in the way of the
Vamore blast as it fired its lasers and simultaneously activated his
blast shield, obliterating the Gregore between the two attacks. The dust
and smoke quickly cleared and the Vamore barely had time to see that
Jason had not been harmed by its attack when Jason fired a double-handed
plasma bolt towards it. The effect was devastating as the blast blew
through the Vamore with the effectiveness of a Guyver Pressure Cannon.
Quickly killing the Zoanoid. The Ramotith, by this time, was completely
convinced it was about to die and wanted to run but Balcus had taken
control of his body and then spoke through it to Jason, "Who are you and
why are you here?"
"Isn't it obvious Balcus, I'm here to
kill you!" Jason lied, hoping to distract the Zoalord from his true
goal.
"Assassin!? Which of the twelve sent
you?"
"I'll tell you just before I kill
you."
"You'll
never get the chance!", Balcus declared before he now forced the Zoanoid
to attack Jason. Jason in turn ran towards the zoanoid, his right fist
aglow with energy and punched his fist right through the zoanoids chest.
Jason then yanked his arm out and let the zoanoid's body fall to the
ground. He knew re-enforcements where on their way, seems forcing his
way in was now his only choice. Quickly scanning the area, Jason
detected the placement of security cameras and then blasted them with a
quick plasma hand pulse each. The elevator arrival bell then rang and
Jason turned to see a Chronos soldier step out, take off his helmet and
without a word, transformed into a Zerebubuse Hyper Zoanoid.
Jason simply jumped towards the
zoanoid and shouted the word "GUYVER!". Less than a second later, and
before the zoanoid had a chance to recognize the strange word, the blast
shield of the Warrior Guyver obliterated him. Another second later,
Valkus and Gyro picked up on the fact and realised that their
hyper-zoanoid had been killed as easily as the others had been. They
then quickly looked at each other as each wondered if the other had sent
this Assassin after Balcus. . .
Warrior Guyver thought about his
remaining options and decided to play one more deception. He then turned
towards the still open elevator and pressed the button for the top
floor. . . Balcus was now near panic as a security officer informed him
that the elevator was now heading up to his office.
"Don't just stand there!", Balcus
yelled, "Stop that elevator and kill that bastard!"
...Half way up, the elevator was
stopped and the doors opened to the view of two dozen Vamores, with
their lasers fully charged and ready to fire, but the elevator was
empty. . . One of the Vamores moved closer and observed a large hole in
the floor of the elevator. . .
Meanwhile, down at the basement
level, a Chronos scientist was about to start the genetic alteration
ordered by Gyro, when he heard the elevator arrival ring but noticed the
doors did not open. Something that only happened if an unauthorized
person was attempting to reach this level. A guard took notice as well
and walked up to the doors, ready to transform if needed. That second
though, Warrior Guyver blasted the steel doors of the elevator forward.
Hitting the guard and quickly killing him as his pulverized body hit the
wall, on the other side of the room, and slumped to the floor. Warrior
Guyver then walked out into the processing centre. His control medal
flashing rapidly as his head sensors activated. He almost immediately
sensed that there was only one human in the processing centre and that,
he hoped, was his wife. But he also sensed five zoanoids, still in human
form, around the place. He started to walk towards Fiona, as the head
scientist walked out in front of her processing tank, in total shock as
he looked at the Warrior Guyver. But as he scanned the man, he realised
that a Zoalord was using the man to look at him. Warrior Guyver raised
an arm up and a forward vibrational sword extended before him. Before
the scientist had the chance to move, the vibrational sword pierced his
heart and was ripped through his brain, cutting off Dr Valkus. . .
Valkus then turned to Gyro, "It would
appear that our so called assassin has an ulterior motive for attacking
this complex." . . .
Warrior Guyver now stood before the
processing tank that held Fiona. She looked perfect. Her long blond hair
was floating around, above her head, moving with the motion of the
bubbles that floated up from the base of the bio-tube to its ceiling. He
had his head sensors scanning her like crazy, picking up every possible
scrap of information about her. But even with his advanced senses,
without the Matrix at full power, he could not get even a hint at what
was now wrong with her and the Matrix was still engaged in running and
repairing his unit. But he was paying too much attention to only Fiona.
Behind him Zektole landed almost unnoticed behind Warrior Guyver. Its
host, Jason, simply did not care of anything else, other than Fiona.
Zektole had never seen a being such as Warrior Guyver. Zektole raised
his left arm and his weapon pod opened and fired three bio-laser beams
at Warrior Guyver. Instinct took hold of Warrior Guyver and instantly
his omni-directional shielding protected him from the laser blasts.
Warrior Guyver turned to face his attacker and let his sensors stop
scanning his wife. Instantly, he picked up the other hyper-zoanoids of
Team 5 and the three Zoalords within the Chronos building, one of which
was on his way down the elevator shaft, in his battle form. Warrior
Guyver knew that was his only way out of the base and there was still
other zoanoids scampering around him, and Fiona was still in a very
vulnerable position. Zektole was continuing his attack on Warrior Guyver
but could not penetrate the shielding system of the Warrior Guyver.
Warrior Guyver was almost in a daze. He had not seen Fiona alive in
nearly two years and memories of her funeral, with that of his family
and friends, came flooding back to him, almost leaving him
incapacitated. Zoalord Gyro landed right behind Zektole. This was the
first time he had ever witnessed a being that could shield an energy
attack other than the Zoalords. He ordered Zektole to his side and
waited. This was not a being to attack without questioning who it was.
Warrior Guyver snapped out of
inaction and turned his attention away from Fiona, and toward Gyro and
Zektole. Behind them, the other members of Team 5 where coming into view
and the other lower level zoanoids where too close for comfort. Behind a
bio-tube, directly behind Fiona's, stood the zoanoid Lisker. Gyro knew
this too but to him, the strange dark and light blue being stood between
them. Gyro commanded Lisker and the other zoanoids to stay where they
were and not to further antagonise the unknown being. Warrior Guyver
simply stood still, ready to shield his fiancée from further attack. He
knew full well that the longer they waited, the sooner he would have the
ability to teleport once again. But the number game was with Chronos.
Gyro realised that whatever this thing was, humanoid in shape that it
had stayed close to that blond female who was nothing but a simple
human. What was their connection?
Warrior
Guyver's sensors where detecting larger numbers of zoanoids coming into
the LA Chronos building, including another Zoalord. His Matrix was not
healing him fast enough. He had to escape and escape now, before even
more Zoalords appeared, trapping him and Fiona in this basement level
processing centre. Lisker suddenly found himself picked up off the
ground by an invisible force and flung backwards and away from the
Warrior Guyver. Alarmed by this, Gyro and the others closed in on
Warrior Guyver. Warrior Guyver's control medal glowed, along with his
gravity controller, and his hands moved to his abdomen. Zektole and
Gaster though, where not waiting for Warrior Guyver to do what he was
doing and fired anyway, without Gyro's approval. The Warrior Guyver
quickly fired a wide angled, low yield pressure cannon blast that hit
Zektole, blasting him into Gyro, and knocking both to the ground.
Gaster's missiles exploded around Warrior Guyver shields. But one
missile managed to get behind him and beyond the range of his shield. He
quickly tries to swat it away from Fiona, telekinetically but it
explodes and the blast manages to shatter the bio-tube that contained
Fiona. Warrior Guyver, though, managed to telepathically hold up Fiona
as the liquid around her poured out of her shattered bio-tube. Thancrus,
Darzerb and Elegan spread out and away from the firepower based zoanoids
and jetted in and out of bio-tubes in a pincer movement towards Warrior
Guyver, with the five remaining standard zoanoids. Warrior Guyver fired
his head laser towards Gaster and flew backwards and grabbed Fiona with
both of his arms and held her close to him as his omni-directional
shield contracted around them. The extremely powerful laser like blast
hit Gaster's chest, causing most of his body to explode, which
spontaneously mixed his liquids and caused a massive explosion that took
out a nearby Zoanoid and caused part of the roof to collapse. With
Zektole still suffering from a major wound, produced from the gravity
ball, which had smashed up his chest, Gyro knew he would personally have
to act against this being. His zoa-crystal glowed as his hands rose in
front of him and a gravity well appeared between his hands. He quickly
ordered the remaining members of Team 5 out of the way and released a
huge gravity wave towards Warrior Guyver. Warrior Guyver though, did not
want to get into a fire fight with a Zoalord, now that he had Fiona in
his arms and focused his shield above him and flew up into the concrete
ceiling of the processing centre, just as the gravity wave blasted
through the bio-tube that had contained Fiona. Gyro looked on and almost
laughed as the gravity wave went on to hit Lisker, totally obliterating
the zoanoid with what in war is so called friendly fire.
Warrior Guyver's omni-directional
shield was the only shielding system he had, which would not harm Fiona,
who he held in his arms. But unlike his barrier shield, it did not
naturally tear apart what it came in contact with, which was not the
Units host. Because of that, Warrior Guyver literally had to force
himself through the rock but luckily for him, he managed to break
through into the car parking level of the Chronos LA building. Warrior
Guyver's head sensors quickly moved back and forward as he gauged his
location and immediately flew towards the upper level of the car parking
area. Below them, Gyro moved towards the opening made by Warrior Guyver
and flew up and after Warrior Guyver, as above them he contacted Sin
Rubeo Amniculus, who was now flying out of the Chronos building and
waiting for Gyro to contact him so he could assist the Zoalord in the
capturing of this strange being.
Warrior Guyver could sense Gyro
behind him, as he cleared the car parking area and flew up into the sky
of LA. His shield now forms an aerodynamic cocoon around him and Fiona
as he now tried to put some distance between himself and the two
Zoalords. Thankfully for him, even though he was not fully functional
yet, Warrior Guyver was still faster than the Zoalords, who where
chasing him, and quickly he put over a mile between them every two
seconds.
Thirty
seconds later, the Zoalords had given up the chase and had flown back to
Chronos LA. There, Valkus was inspecting the damage done by the unknown
being. It was incredibly powerful, like that of the Zoalords but he
sensed the fact, as he looked at the tapes of the being, that it was
holding back. The being had stayed close to the woman the whole time,
once it had gotten into the basement level of the base. It must not have
wanted to harm her. But why would it be after some normal human female?
There were many of them around, outside the base and a lot easier to get
to than the woman who was inside this base. Clearly he had lied about
being there to kill Balcus but how did he know the Zoalord by name?
There must be some connection between the unknown being and this woman
but he had no idea what it was. . .
Warrior Guyver flew over the office
building he had escaped from earlier on in the morning. He could sense
the fact that there were now a large number of people inside it. Though
he did not know who they where. The only thing he knew for sure was that
there was no zoanoids inside the building. Still holding Fiona, Warrior
Guyver floated down his escape route. Almost immediately he was fired on
from below. But this was handgun and machine gun fire and was easily
shielded away from both him and Fiona. Warrior Guyver landed with Fiona
to see twenty men with guns, all still shooting at him and his fiancée.
Given the situation, Warrior Guyver was highly protective of Fiona and
was extremely tempted to laser these men to death. But they where the
only people who could guard him and Fiona until he had regained full use
of his unit.
In the middle of a large group of men
stood Atkins. He, like everyone else was startled by this unknown thing,
coming into his base of operations but he realised he recognised the
woman in the things arms. He stopped firing his gun and ran over to the
other side of the being so he could see the woman's face. It was Fiona.
"Everyone hold your fire," screamed
Atkins at the top of his voice.
Luckily for everyone concerned, he
had trained his men well and almost immediately, almost all the men
stopped firing. Well those that could hear him. The others stopped a few
seconds later as they realised what was said by their commanding
officer. Sean walked up beside Atkins.
"Are you sure this is wise old man,"
asked Sean.
"Hell no, but that woman there is
Fiona, and I bet you that creature there is Jason," responded Atkins.
"What if it's not him, but some
Chronos creature?"
"Then it would have killed us all.
You saw how ineffective our weapons were. No, there's only one way to
find out Sean and that's to trust him. We have an incredible amount to
gain if that thing is Jason and it's as powerful as it seems."
Atkins walked slowly towards Warrior
Guyver, who was not moving a muscle. He still had his shield active
around him and Fiona and as of yet, did not trust any of the men around
him. Even Atkins, who he realised was walking towards him, was not
someone that he could trust. This was not the man he knew from his world
but another Atkins.
Atkins now stood right in front of
the shield around Warrior Guyver. He knew the Jason of his world. That
if this thing was Jason, he would be thinking of Fiona first and him
second. This thing clearly showed its shield could take anything that
his men could fire at it. Yet it did not attempt to kill his men. He
realised he had to trust his instincts now and hope that they where
right and that this thing was Jason. He then gave the order for everyone
to leave.
This left a very gutsy Atkins,
standing right in front of Warrior Guyver, by himself, with no backup
whatsoever. He knew he was crazy and was either very right or very
wrong. But Jason was one of his best friends and that woman there was
one of the nicest people he had ever met. Considering she was a girl of
the Deep South and yet she had not a racist bone in her body.
Warrior Guyver deactivated his
shield. He could feel the fact that she was cold and quickly walked to
the underground bomb shelter and towards the room he had slept in the
night before, with Atkins right behind him. He placed Fiona on top of
the mattress and pulled the sheet over her. He realised now, that this
was no hospital. That unless his unit repaired itself in time, without
the Matrix, she would more than likely stay in this vegetative state and
die of starvation.
"So you got her Jason, now the
question is, what are you going to do with her? As she'll die soon
without any medical treatment."
"She would have been a zoanoid if I
had not gotten there in time, I'd rather she die now, still human, than
to suffer that!" said Warrior Guyver as he stood up and looked at his
old fried.
"You are a lot colder than I remember
you Jason."
"I am not the Jason you remember
Atkins, my family, friends, my life as I knew it, hell, even my fucking
dog was all killed on Chronos' X-Day. I've now got Fiona back and she is
a fucking vegetable."
"Calm down Jason, you've got her
back. I'll arrange for someone to take care of her."
"Atkins, just keep her alive for the
next few hours, I'll be back then with a cure for her."
"A cure, how in God's name do you
plan to do that?"
Warrior
Guyver turned away from Atkins, not giving him an answer and activated
his gravity controller and flew out of the side office and up and out of
the office building. He then turned east and headed towards the Pacific
Ocean. Warrior Guyver realised something important. That there was no
Guyvers on this world at all, yet there was a Chronos. That meant that
more than likely that they never discovered the Guyver Units and that if
he found one, he could use it on Fiona as he simply felt that he did not
have the time to waste, waiting for his unit to repair itself fully, so
he could heal her. . .
Thirty minutes later, Warrior Guyver
landed over what in his world was called Chronos Island. This island was
where the War Relic was discovered on his home world. But as he flew
over the island, he indeed sensed zoanoids but no War Relic. This was
really pissing him off. Why was this world so different. He landed in
the middle of the zoanoid outpost and activated his gravity controller
as a Gregore zoanoid ran towards him. Normally he'd fire a pressure
cannon blast and kill the zoanoid but he did not have the time. He
forced his pressure cannon towards the ground, blasting it out of his
way then he literally started to fly into the ground.
In Chronos Arizona, Alkanphel was
smiling as he flew down to Purg'stall. Purg'stall honestly did not have
a clue as to why his master was so happy. While Alkanphel was in the
blue crystals beam, he had received a report from Valkus about the
strange being that had attacked Chronos LA. Alkanphel though, was back
at full strength. He read the mind of Purg'stall, instantly knowing all
he needed to know abut the strange being. For the second time in over
two and a half million years, Alkanphel realised he would have to face a
Guyver.
Warrior Guyver had tunnelled down
about half a mile into the ground and had found nothing. There was no
War Relic, no sign of anything made by the Creators. Warrior Guyver
stopped tunnelling and realised that the shaft he made into the ground,
which was totally unsupported, had started to fall in on itself because
of a single Vamore zoanoid that was blasting it apart. Seconds later he
sensed something he really did not want to. It was Alkanphel and he was
brimming with power. He had sensed Alkanphel before, when he was trapped
in Arizona and he was nowhere near that power. This was not the time to
face something with that much power. There was nothing worth fighting
for here and he had to use his head and discover where this world
Warrior Unit was buried, if it was on this Earth at all. He opened both
of his mega-smashers and pointed them up the opening, towards the rubble
that was now falling on him. Three seconds later, Alkanphel and the
other zoanoids where knocked off their feet as the huge mega-smasher
blast ripped up and out of the Earth, hitting the Supreme leader of
Chronos head on and immediately vaporizing the zoanoids that where close
to him. Alkanphel though, was not about to let even this powerful Guyver
get away with such a blatant attack. All his zoa-crystals glowed as he
focussed his telekinetic might towards the mega-smasher that was
surrounding his shields. Warrior Guyver quickly realized what Alkanphel
was doing and closed his mega-smasher plates and focussed his pressure
cannon into the cup of his hands and into the ground to his side, then
blasted his way out of the path of the returning mega-smasher blast,
only just missing it. A flew seconds later, Warrior Guyver managed to
escape up through the ground, to find Alkanphel in full Zoalord Battle
form, waiting for him. Warrior Guyver stood there, looking at his arch
nemesis. His unit was warning him of the fact that he was overpowered.
But his unit had repaired itself. He could feel the rest of its power
come back to him, but even with that he was still out powered by
Alkanphel. But Alkanphel did not want to destroy a possibly powerful
ally.
"Guyver, we do not have to fight."
said Alkanphel.
"Oh yes we do, I've been waiting for
this since the day you killed Fiona, you miserable fuck." responded
Warrior Guyver.
Warrior
Guyver then let loose with a power wave attack, resulting in a double
handed hand beam blast with eight times the destructive power of a
standard Guyver Mega Smash. The incredibly powerful blast quickly
engulfed the surprised Alkanphel, but he managed to deflect the attack
around him before summoning enough power to send the beam back at the
Warrior Guyver. Then the instant the beam was about to hit him, the
Warrior Guyver disappeared and reappeared behind Alkanphel, in what
seemed the same instant, still firing the power wave attack. Caught off
guard, Alkanphel was knocked forward by the powerful blast. Before
Alkanphel had a chance to recover, Warrior Guyver stopped the blast and
redirected the energy through his Mega Smashers as he quickly pulled
open both chest plates. Alkanphel turned around just in time to see the
Warrior Guyver fire his Mega Smashers with sixteen times the power of a
standard Guyvers full double Mega Smash. Alkanphel quickly focused all
his power into his shield, just as the incredibly powerful blast hit
him. Clearly surprised at the level of the Warrior Guyvers power, the
powerful Zoalord knew he could no longer hold back and that this Guyver
had to be destroyed. Alkanphel then summoned all his power and not only
reflected the Mega Smash back at the Warrior Guyver, but also added a
powerful blast of his own. Fortunately for the Warrior Guyver, his blast
was countering itself, since he was still firing, and that bought him
the time he needed to teleport out of the way. Warrior Guyver then tried
to change tactics and teleported next to Alkanphel, with his swords
extended, and tried to slash at him, but the moment he appeared,
Alkanphel grabbed him telekinetically and sent him hurtling towards the
ground. The Warrior Guyver tried to resist but was helpless against
Alkanphel's telekinetic power. The Warrior Guyver was then violently
smashed into the ground, creating twenty-foot wide impact crater.
Alkanphel then created a fiery ball on swirling energy, with one hand
and sent it hurtling towards the dazed Warrior Guyver. The Warrior
Guyvers sensory orbs detected the powerful blast and the Warrior Guyver
again performed an instant teleportation, at the last instant, and
appeared in front of Alkanphel and quickly power punched him in the
face, even as the powerful ball of energy hit the ground and exploded
with the power of a baby nuke that sent enough dirt into the air to
completely envelop both combatants in a dark veil of dust. Alkanphel was
able to deflect most of the force of punch, so was not harmed, but he
quickly returned the blow with a back handed punch that nearly took the
Warrior Guyvers head off. The Warrior Guyver's head was hit so hard that
his neck snapped and he was sent hurtling to the ground like a falling
meteor. Fortunately Alkanphel quickly lost site of the Warrior Guyver in
the thick dust cloud, giving the Warrior Guyver time to recover.
Warrior
Guyver got up and waited the second it took his unit to repair his neck
before looking up at Alkanphel. Though he could clearly see Alkanphel,
he could see that Alkanphel could not, for the moment, see him. He then
cloaked, just as Alkanphel waved his arms and created a brief blast of
wind that blew the dust away, hiding him from Alkanphel's view. Warrior
Guyver knew then, that as much as he wanted to fight this being, he was
forgetting the real reason he was even at this place was because he was
trying to save Fiona. He was not about to risk her to get revenge on
Alkanphel. This fight would have to wait, he then flew away from
Alkanphel as he left the confused Zoalord and then teleported away.
Alkanphel looked around for several minutes before he realized the
mysterious Guyver had escaped him. Leaving Alkanphel with many
unanswered questions. The last time he had faced a Guyver, it could not
do anything like this thing. . .
Above Feral Island, Warrior Guyver
appeared and quickly scanned the area as sensed, with some surprise,
that there was a thriving modern population. The island itself was
shaped very differently to one of his world. The fact it had a
population, and not just some scattered houses, showed just how
different things where here. But, as he floated above the island, he got
a sense of what he wanted. There was a Relic there and it was calling to
him. He flew down towards the centre of the island, landing on top of an
office building that was directly above the calling sensation he was
receiving. People had literally built their city on top of the Relic.
With such a thriving population above it, there would have been very
little chance of an archaeological dig happening and the discovery of
what was below the city. Warrior Guyver walked around the edge of the
building, looking at the streets below to find a manhole into the sewer
system of the city, as from there he could tunnel into the ground
without the attention of the locals. Then he saw one, right in the
centre of the busy street. Warrior Guyver shook his head, he realised
that nothing in this world was ever going to be easy for him. He looked
at the street for a few minutes to get a good judgment on how the
traffic was moving and within two seconds after a red light had given
him a clearing, he flew down towards the manhole, lifted it off, and was
underneath it within two seconds, closing it as a cars drove over him.
Immediately his senses where filled with the rotten smells of the sewer
system, but after few seconds of Guyver enhanced smelling of the most
hideous smells a city can produce, his Guyver unit blocked the smell out
for him. Warrior Guyver realised the next time he had to do this that
he'd have to take that into consideration before trying to jump into a
sewer system, just to hide from people. Warrior Guyver put the urge to
puke behind him and floated down into the sewer system, which was dirty
as hell and he could sense countless rats around him, which made his
skin crawl under his armour. He might be a Guyver now, but thirty years
of being a normal person, before he was a Guyver, was a hard thing to
shake off. Warrior Guyver landed in the sewer, his cloaking system
disengaged and then he started to tunnel into the ground. A few minutes
later above him appeared Alkanphel and the rest of the Zoalords with
Alkanphel holding the Matrix. He now sensed the call of the Relic below
and unlike Warrior Guyver, he did not care if the natives of this island
noticed him. But the Warrior Guyver had already landed on the Relic. The
disgusting sewer water had flowed down with him and had completely
filled the area around the Relic. The Relic opened itself up as Warrior
Guyver commanded it to open and Warrior Guyver floated into this mouth
that closed seconds after he had gotten inside. The Relic went through
its cleaning routine and seconds later the brown coloured sewer was
extricated out of the living ship. Now that he was inside the ship,
Warrior Guyver recognized the type of Relic that he was in. It was the
War Relic, but above him, Alkanphel floated above the ground with the
rest of the Zoalords. His zoa-crystal's glowed and Alkanphel
telekinetically pulled the ground before the zoalords out of their way.
But as they found the tunnel made by the Warrior Guyver, the ground was
being ripped apart by more than just Alkanphel. The War Relic itself
blasted up through and out of the city. Soaring above Alkanphel and his
Zoalord but before any of them could react, the War Relic shot through
the atmosphere at near light speed and it was gone. . . Warrior Guyver
already knew where to hide the War Relic, as it flew out of Earth
atmosphere. In the past, he had hid the Arizona Relic near Planet Pluto,
and once again he would use the same hiding place. Then, as the War
Relic made its way to the destination ordered by Warrior Guyver, he made
his way into a chamber above the control centre of the Relic. He floated
then in front of what was basically his own Warrior Unit. Like his own,
there was only one of these units inside the ship and he picked it up
and teleported away from the War Relic, leaving it to finish its course.
Warrior Guyver appeared over the building where he had left Fiona.
Warrior Guyver was then instantly struck by the fact that everyone was
gone and the building looked like a war zone. There were a number of
dead men around, all of them the agents that had tried to kill him
earlier. Seconds later, he ran into the room where he had left Fiona.
Cold dread gripped his heart as he found her dead body lying naked on
the ground. Warrior Guyver roared in anger as he looked at her slit
throat. He dropped the Warrior Unit and picked her up telekinetically so
he could see what they had done to her. From what he could guess,
Chronos agents must have attacked Atkins and his men and then a zoanoid
did this to her. The many bullet shells on the ground indicated, along
with lack of any other bodies, that Atkins' and his men must have killed
the Zoanoid but not before it killed Fiona. He must have missed the
battle by a couple of minutes. But then Warrior Guyver felt some hope as
this time he had a huge advantage over what happened to him before, when
his world's Fiona died on him. His control medal started to glow,
lighting up the Matrix contained inside it and a beam shot out from it,
hitting Fiona's neck with its sparkling glow. Immediately the wound on
her neck closed up. The light from the Matrix itself then start to hold
up Fiona, letting the Warrior Guyver let go of his telekinetic hold of
her. Fiona's body was then jolted as Warrior Guyver sensed her heart
start to pump life back into her body. Her eyes then started to twitch
and opened up for a second our two then closed. After a minute, the
Matrix stopped and the Warrior Guyver telekinetically lowered her to the
ground.
Warrior
Guyver could now sense the life within her and could only hope that she
would be ok. Not wanting to have to repeat yet another death, Warrior
Guyver walked over to the dormant Warrior Unit and picked it up. He
placed it above Fiona, who was still unconscious, and before any last
hesitation to make her a Guyver could enter his mind, the dormant
Warrior Unit activated. Warrior Guyver knew that waiting there was not
advisable. Even with the friend-or-foe recognition system, there would
be a chance that she would attack him. So just as Fiona's unit
completely covered her body, Warrior Guyver teleported on top of the
building and waited. He thought to himself that now that he had Fiona
back, he should just leave this world and leave while he was ahead. But
two things went totally against that idea. The first was simple honour.
Atkins had helped protect Fiona and his men paid for that with their
lives. The second was the fact Alkanphel had the Matrix that came to
this world with him. He had to get that back, such a tool in any
Alkanphel's hands was a dangerous thing. With it there was a reasonable
chance that this Alkanphel could follow him back and endanger him and
Fiona yet again. Then there was the small voice at the back of his mind
that made him wonder if he had the right to take Fiona from this world,
but that doubt would have to wait till she was conscious again.
Below him, the control medal of this
worlds native Warrior unit, was in the final stage of bonding with
Fiona. For the first time in over a year her mind had awoke and she was
feeling great pain as her unit was invading every pore of her body. To
her, she felt in grave danger as in her mind she was still in the church
on her wedding day and everything was falling down around her. Unknown
to Warrior Guyver, Fiona had witnessed the death of her world's Jason
and it was the next to last thing she saw before she looked up at the
ceiling of the church and saw a huge beam of wood falling down towards
her. She tried to run out of the way but that was the last thing she
remembered. So as the unit merged with her, and linked with its new
hosts mind, it too sensed the danger the host felt.
Back on top of the building, Warrior
Guyver knew he was going to have to take on Alkanphel and get back the
Matrix. His thoughts where then interrupted as he sensed the Female
Warrior Guyver coming towards him. She was flying up through building
towards him. This had to mean she was not in control but that the unit
was in self-defence mode and was coming right for him. Why the hell did
he always have to have trouble when trying to do something good? He
stood still and a few seconds later, Female Warrior Guyver came into
view. Her unit had the same colours as his, but she was shaped very
differently and had many vibrational blades protruding out of her form.
She was clearly designed for battle and her control medal was glowing
brightly as she stood only a few feet from Warrior Guyver. The two
Guyvers sensed each other, even as their two units started to
communicate with each other. Lucky for the Warrior Guyver, both units
where designed by the same Creator and with a system built into the
self-defence system of the unit to recognize what even a new host would
consider a friend. So as the Female Warrior Guyver's unit came close to
him, the two units checked each other and her unit immediately
recognized the fact that the host of the powerful Guyver was in fact
Jason O'Conner, the fiancé of its own host. Warrior Guyver was relieved
to see Female Warrior Guyver just stand there observing him. He got a
sense from his own unit that the self-defence mechanism of her unit had
recognized him. But he could not confirm that and simply did not make
any aggressive moves towards the Female Warrior Guyver, making sure that
her unit did not attack him. But true to form things were never that
easy for Warrior Guyver. Above him appeared the Zoalords of Chronos. All
twelve of them and they all meant business.
But this time Warrior Guyver was not
going to run. His wife's unit simply did not know what to make of the
zoalords and simply stood on the tower block, waiting to see if they
presented a threat. But Warrior Guyver did not wait. He extended all
four of his vibrational blades and flew up towards the Zoalords as fast
as his unit would allow him. But as he closed in on Sin Rubeo Amniculus
and Tuaha De Galenos, who where the closest two Zoalords to him,
Alkanphel caught Warrior Guyver in his telekinetic grasp, halting his
progress. Warrior Guyver then fired two blasts from his quantum head
beam, towards the two Zoalords but, with Alkanphel on top, it was
pointless as the two beams where redirected back towards the Warrior
Guyver, hitting him face on but thanks to his body shield, did no damage
whatsoever. This really was not Warrior Guyver's day. Like many people,
he had underestimated Alkanphel's power and was paying for it now. He
was no mere Zoalord, but the leader of the Zoalords, and he was a fool
for thinking that he, and his eleven other Zoalords, would be a push
over. All twelve Zoalord then fired their zoa-crystals at the Warrior
Guyver, hitting his powerful shields with their combined might, blasting
the Warrior Guyver down and through the roof of the tower block. Female
Warrior Guyver though, had disappeared during the distraction made by
the Warrior Guyver. Zoalord Waferdanos didn't even sense the Female
Warrior Guyver as she teleported right behind him. Her arms latched
around his hairy neck and she pulled him close to her, and before the
other Zoalords had the chance to pull her off him, all six of her
vibrational sword, which was contained on her knees and chest areas,
extended all the way through his back and the back of his legs.
Waferdanos could do nothing but die as Female Warrior Guyver then flew
up in the air, with her already extended vibrational sword, slicing the
zoalord to bits. Alkanphel then turned away from the Warrior Guyver, to
face the new threat of the Female Warrior Guyver. But that was a fatal
error, as Alkanphel and the other Zoalords turned their attention to the
Female Warrior Guyver, Warrior Guyver himself blasted out of the
building and with lightning speed flew between Jearvill Bun Hiyern and
Luggnagg De Krumeggnic, with his swords extended, slicing both zoalords
in half and then released a powerful pressure cannon attack towards
Alkanphel, only for the attack to be blocked by his powerful shields.
Once again Alkanphel telekinetically grabbed Warrior Guyver and once
again the Zoalords fired on him, but this time Warrior Guyver was not
about to let himself be an easy target. So as the blast closed in on
him, Warrior Guyver teleported out of the way and right before
Alkanphel. Alkanphel fired his zoa-crystal, only for the Warrior Guyver
to duck underneath it and let the laser blast go on to hit Cablarl Khan,
straight in the chest, blasting apart his rib cage.
Alkanphel realized that he couldn't
battle these Guyvers at full power. His zoalords simply where no longer
equal to him anymore, in any way shape or form, and he out powered them
all. Now his own firepower was killing his Zoalords. Alkanphel then
ordered his remaining zoalords to break off, leaving him alone with the
two Warrior Guyvers.
Then, as the other Zoalords where
leaving, the host of Female Warrior Guyver, Fiona, awoke. She didn't
know what the hell was happening and almost immediately fell towards the
ground, but luckily for her the Warrior Guyver was right behind her and
had grabbed her. Female Warrior Guyver was flooded with information that
she didn't know how to handle and was literally experiencing information
overload. Warrior Guyver knew what she was going through. Even though he
was prepared for the event of being a Guyver, it was not an easy thing
to get used to in the first moments and she was in no way prepared for
this. Female Warrior Guyver looked at the face of Warrior Guyver and
wondered what the hell was it that was holding her up in the air.
Warrior Guyver knew she was in no way capable of taking on Alkanphel and
the other Zoalords that where waiting just outside the battle zone to
pounce on them. Alkanphel, in a strange way, sensed this and knew they
had a weakness now that he could take advantage of and anyway, now it
was simple revenge. Warrior Guyver could sense the air around him move
and realized with shock what Alkanphel was going to do but it was too
late. A second later, Warrior Guyver and Female Warrior Guyver where
consumed by a mini tornado that appeared around them, ripping the two
Warrior Guyver's apart. Alkanphel then fired a hand beam down towards
Female Warrior Guyver, slicing her in half and letting her fall to the
street below as Warrior Guyver was flung through the top floor of an
office building. Thinking that the Female Warrior Guyver was now dead,
Alkanphel focused his attention to Warrior Guyver. Warrior Guyver was
only just getting his focus when he was flung down a corridor. He could
sense an electrical disturbance above him and all of a second later
several lightning bolts ripped through the building, blasting him down
through another four floors. Even though his body shield was active, he
was still burned by the attack. Warrior Guyver lay there on the ground,
his body twitching as Alkanphel floated above him snickering.
Down on the ground, but only a few
seconds ago, Female Warrior Guyver could not believe what was happening
to her. She was still alive as she looked down where her legs should
have been, yet she could no longer feel any pain. This was because,
unknown to her, her own unit was drowning out her feelings of pain. She
was still laying there when she sensed something powerful coming towards
her. She did not know what it was or how she could sense such a thing
but Female Warrior Guyver knew that it was a threat to her. It was
Zoalord Rienzi. He looked at her and wondered how the hell could she
still be alive but decided that he should take matters into his own
hands to make sure she was really going to be dead and at the same time
getting some revenge for the deaths of his Zoalord brothers. Inside the
unit of the Female Warrior Guyver, Fiona, its new host, had now got a
grip of the situation as it was presented to her. Completely crazy as it
seemed, she was covered in some sort of living armour. It was keeping
her alive and conscious even though she had lost her legs. Hell, she was
not even bleeding. But she realized that whatever this thing was on her
body, it was giving her information that this thing that was floating
towards her was a threat.
Now above her, in the building,
Warrior Guyver could feel the call of Fiona's unit. It was like his unit
and hers where linked in some way. He knew that she was hurt and how
badly and that she was under serious danger from a different zoalord. He
looked at the sniggering Alkanphel and felt rage and desperation.
Warrior Guyver raised his arms and pointed them towards Alkanphel and
fired both of his arm beams and his head laser. Alkanphel did not stop
laughing as he returned the three beams back towards Warrior Guyver.
Warrior Guyver activated his barrier shield, defending himself but at
the same time blasting open the ground on which he lay, letting him fall
down to the floor below. Alkanphel followed, closing in for the kill,
and fired six gravity bullets at the Warrior Guyver. Under his armour
Jason smiled, he was waiting for this Alkanphel to make that mistake. As
the gravity bullets hit the shield of the Warrior Guyver, they slid
around it as they where taken over by there target and combined with his
own power and sent back towards Alkanphel. This did not impress the
Zoalord and he simply activated his incredibly powerful shields,
deflecting the attack. Then Alkanphel returned the favour, sending an
energy ball down towards Warrior Guyver. But this was not Warrior
Guyvers game plan, as, before the ball hit him, he teleported out of the
way, appearing behind Alkanphel. Warrior Guyver extended his forward
vibrational swords right towards his enemy. But before they got a foot
away from him, he felt himself being lifted into the air and suddenly
his head was slammed into the ceiling and then flung back away from
Alkanphel. Alkanphel turned around with a blue fiery aura around him.
Warrior Guyver was again picked up off the ground and slammed into a
concrete support beam. Warrior Guyver managed to bring his arms together
and fired his pressure cannon towards Alkanphel, only for the gravity
ball to be returned back towards him, Warrior Guyver though, did not let
the attack harm him and returned the ball with yet more power back
towards Alkanphel. Once again Alkanphel turned it back towards Warrior
Guyver, only for it to be charged with yet more energy and sent back to
the Zoalord. But Alkanphel could sense what the Warrior Guyver was doing
and outside he sensed what Rienzi was up too as well. To the shock of
the Warrior Guyver, the next time Alkanphel rebounded the now huge
gravity ball, it was not back towards him, it was sent down through the
building.
Outside Rienzi heard the commotion
above as the large gravity ball crashed through the building. He quickly
flew away as it went directly for the Female Warrior Guyver. Fortunately
for her, her unit was identical to the Jason's original Unit and thus
also possessed the gravity shield weapon. So as the powerful gravity
ball was about to strike her, her unit automatically activated the
gravity shield and redirected the ball back towards Alkanphel.
Unprepared for this turn of events, the powerful gravity ball smashed
into his shield and knocked him a hundred feet into the air before he
was able to regain control. Alkanphel was surprised, but quickly
realized that the Female Guyver also had the ability to redirect gravity
attacks. These Guyvers where now really starting to annoy him. So
Alkanphel created a ball of swirling energy and sent it hurtling towards
the Female Warrior Guyver.
The energy ball, like the one
Alkanphel had used against the Warrior Guyver on the island, exploded as
it hit the ground. Apparently blasting her to bits as the power of baby
nuke engulfed her and destroyed the entire city block they where in. But
her control medal triggered her units automatic escape mechanism and
Female Warrior Guyver's control medal disappeared from the battle as it
escaped into hyperspace.
Warrior Guyver though, could only
sense the dead call from Fiona's mind, even as the blast sent him
hurtling into the air. But there was not much to do about it. Thanks to
the distraction from her supposed death, Warrior Guyver had ignored the
warning his unit was giving him about Alkanphel. So as Warrior Guyver
finally paid attention to Alkanphel, all he had time to do was think,
<"Oh shit!"> as an energy ball hit him in the gut, blasting him
backwards and right through the rubble below him, breaking through his
body shield and ripping apart his stomach. Warrior Guyver landed on the
back of his neck and almost broke his spine as the force of the landing
knocked him over onto his already ripped apart stomach. Warrior Guyver
could feel his insides coming out and oozing on to the ground, as a pool
of blood bled out of him. But before Warrior Guyver had any chance of
pulling himself together, another energy ball ripped down his back,
opening up his spinal cord, blasting blood, bone and biomaterial into
the air. Warrior Guyver would have screamed if he was capable but there
wasn't enough left of him for that. But his control medal and brain were
still fully alive. Well at least for the next second. Without any blood
flow, as his heart had been blown to bits, his brain was not getting any
oxygen and he was quickly losing consciousness. Alkanphel walked calmly
over towards the Warrior Guyver and fired his zoa-crystal. But this time
it was not the distracted Jason that was in control but it was the
uncaring focused unit. So as the beam touched his back, Warrior Guyver
disappeared as the unit teleported away, reappearing right behind
Alkanphel. The Unit fired its head laser at the back of Alkanphel, but
like so many people before, it sorely underestimated the supreme Zoalord
as the blast literally froze behind the zoalord.
"This ends now Guyver!" said
Alkanphel before he commanded his Zoalords to teleport to safety and
then a glow came from him a moment before the entire area was engulfed
in a small nuclear like explosion that destroyed everything for up to
half a mile. . .
Five seconds later, the Control Medal
of Jason, the Warrior Guyver, teleported into hyperspace, beside that of
Fiona's control medal. The two control medals glowed simultaneously,
only a few feet from each other. The two Warrior Guyvers control medals
started to glow at the same time as Warrior Guyver's rapidly started to
regenerate itself and its host. Though the Female Warrior Guyver was not
so lucky. Her unit did not have a Matrix merged with her control medal,
so could only regenerate at the normal rate of a Warrior Guyver. A few
minutes later, Jason's mind awoke. Being in hyperspace sped up his
regeneration and he was now back at full power. Before him he saw the
head of the Female Warrior Guyver. He looked down to see the skeletal
frame that the unit had formed as it was growing her a new body. A light
then shined out from the Matrix in the Warrior Guyver's control medal
and lit up her body. It took a few seconds but then her body started to
rebuild itself at an incredible rate and it was not long until her eyes
glowed, signalling the reawakening of her mind.
Fiona now looked at the face of the
Warrior Guyver and screamed, turning to face the layer of the universe
called hyperspace. The source of all the infinitive energy that fuelled
the Warrior Guyvers, flowed around her. Shocked at her surroundings,
Female Warrior Guyver just simply didn't know what to do, as she turned
back and looked at the face of the Warrior Guyver. . .
