Transformations

 

XT Guyver

 

 

Xt came awake gasping, he immediatly clutched his chest, the pain had strengthened as he re-energized. It had been over three months since the Dark relic battleship had been destroyed. Now the pain was finally catching up with him. The shocking cold had lessened recently, but only after completely subsuming his inner form in frozen torture. Soon after the pain had begun. Xt concentrated on his armor, his Control medal began to glow brightly.

 

 The pain receded to a distant ache. Xt would have to deal with this soon. The virus that had been injected into his inner matrix had altered his inner form in some way, He had only one choice. Getting up he formed a portal to Forbidden island. Once there he searched out Warrior. He found him on the beach praticing, where else would he be.

 

  He stayed where he was and requested Greg's assistance. A moment later Warrior erupted from a blast field. " This had better be important!" He growled menacingly. " I am afraid it is most serious. Use your hypersenses to detect my form under my armor. See if it seems familiar to you.

 

  Warrior concentrated for a moment and the jerked as he detected the body underneath the armor. " I detect a partially formed human body under your guyver. Is this a trick?" " I am afraid not. While aboard the Relic battleship a mutated sample of human DNA was implanted under my armor. It has subjugated my energy matrix to form this new body. I am experiencing some discomfort in the transition. I am unsure what the final changes will be, but I am finding it more and more difficult to draw on my energy reserves. I now weaken easily, I will be less useful in a fight."

 

 Warrior was perplexed. " Why tell me this?" "I plan to stay away for a short time to attempt to find a way to halt and maybe reverse the process. I do not wish for the others to know about this development. I must deal with this on my own." " I understand. I wish you luck in your search."

 

  Xt turned and opened the portal back. " One more thing. I would rather Jessica not know about this, But should she ask, Tell her she knows where to find me." " You got it bad don't you." " I am unsure what you mean." " Jessica, You love her don't you." Xt said nothing, he stepped through the portal and was gone. " O yeah, you really got it bad!" Greg grinned under his armor before returning to the beach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Xt stood before the scanning chamber. " Begin level 8 pulse wave generation." <Affermative.> Xt had installed voice recognition software into the massive super computer that he had constructed. He had downloaded all files on the treatments for cancer, and all manner of genetic distortions. In the abscence of any manner of test subject that could meet the test requirments, he tested his theories on himself.

 

 A low hum built as the device came online. Xt placed his arm on the plate and directed the emitter node towards his arm. The armor quivered and writhed before sagging away from his arm. Underneath was an arm made of flesh and bone. Xt took a scapel and cut into the flesh. He gasped at the sensation of pain, he hadn't felt truly physical pain in time out of mind. He finished to procedure and turned off the device. The Armor flowed back into the area. Xt felt the pain ease as the wound was closed.

 

 He placed the sample on the scanner. " Begin Biometric Scan." < Affermative......Scanning.........Evidence of human genetic material..58% ....... Evidence of True genetic material ...37% ........Evidence of biobooster genetic material... 5%. Scan complete.> Xt digested the findings. " Conclusion?" < Original Genetic material was first altered by Biobooster armor and then infected with a strain of Dna that was mutated to attack and subvert original sequence.> " Possible treatment?" The computer thought about it for a minute. < Possible treatments are as follows.......Gamma Radiation pulse ---- Engineered retrovirus------Mass amputation of infected area---- List of treatments complete.>

 

  Xt pondered the possible treatments, The radiation pulse would certainly remove the human tissue, but it would also liquify his own genetic material as well. A retrovirus was possible but would take years to perfect. Xt felt that he did not have that much time. And mass amputation was impossible. His entire body was infected.

 

 Sighing with frustration, Xt made his way down to the magma pool. Lowering himself into the molten rock he began to doze.

 

 

 

 Xt once again awoke to the pressence of searing pain. He concentrated on the guyver and forced the pain to disipate. He found though that now he had to mentally block the pain continuosly. Walking once more to the lab he had set up he began the testing again. < Scanning ......... Evidance of human genetic material..63%.........Evidence of True genetic material...29% Evidence of Biobooster genetic material ....8%.> Xt was barely listening. Then it finally sunk in. " Query. What is cause of increase of Biobooster genetic material? < Extrapolation.... Biobooster Genetic material increase caused by a shift from Plasma energy to Bio-energy stores.> " Cause of shift?"

 

< Plasma stores have decreased to the point that armor can no longer support itself on them. It has begun to utilize bio-energy as a catalist.> Xt absorbed this new developement. Stepping back from the table he activated his right forearm plasmablade. Instead of its normal red shot through with yellow color, it was a pale green, almost matching his armor color. Deactivating the blade he crossed to the training area he had cut from the rock wall. Setting up a variety of targets he then stepped back and began to test his weapons. His first attempt was with the head laser. It fired but at a much lower power. It also change color from red to blue. Powering a plasma-sphere he found that it took more concentration than before, and also weakened him faster. He then used the blades. Suprisingly they seemed to be of a higher power now. They cut through stone with ease. Lastly he tried the plasmasmasher. Opening his chestplate he began to gather the energy. Aiming up through the hole he had blasted down he fired the massive weapon. The blast tore out from the chestplate, but it was not the red blast of his plasmasmasher. Instead it was a brilliant electric blue. It was also wider than normal, it carved an extra foot out on either side of the hole.

 

 

 Xt surveyed the damage. The blast was as powerful as his normal plasmasmasher was, but the damage it did was different. The normal plasmasmasher would vaporize the stone leaving a smooth hole. While this beam did vaporize the rock, it also left the walls of the hole with a melted look. Apperently there was added heat damage.

 

 

 Xt had one final test before he rested. He activated his shielding. The shield was also changed somewhat. It now swirled and shifted like a thundercloud. Charging the plasmasmasher again he redirected its power into the shield. As before the shield flashed a brilliant white, but now it shrank, enclosing his body in a dazzling energy field. Walking to the wall Xt lashed out with an uppercut. When his fist connected it created a sonic boom. The wall fractured under the assault. Xt followed it with a roundhouse kick. Again a sonic boom and again a fracture. Xt then activated his forearm plasmablade. The blade seemed to drain the energy field into itself. Its length nearly doubled, and Xt felt the heat from the shaft of energy. Xt slashed at the wall and left a melted path. The the Emitter crystal began to vibrate. Xt felt the heat intensify before the crystal emitted a deafening shriek and exploded taking Xt's hand and lower arm with it.

 

 Xt almost passed out from the pain. He used his head laser to seal the bloody stump that remained. " Blood?" Xt said out loud. He never bled. He did not have the blood to bleed. He staggered down to the magmapool. Again he passed into sleep.

 

 

 

 

 

 Jessica slowly flew towards Cerberus Island. It had been over a week since she had heard from Xt. As she approached the island, she saw the faint glimmer of the defensive shield enveloping the island. She sensed the faint disruption in the shield surface. Speeding up she charged a pressure cannon and slammed it into the distortion. The distortion rippled and then allowed her to pass through. Looking back she watched as the ripple sealed itself and disappeared. She would not be leaving the same way again.

 

 A moment later she was lowering herslef down the shaft to the underground refuge. As she touched down, she extended her senses trying to pinpoint Xt's location. Entering the Main chamber she was suprised at the array of technical equipment that now filled the once empty space. Letting her gaze sweep the room she saw the newest scars to the training area walls. Sensing Xt in the Magmapool chamber she hastened down into the scathing heat.

 

 At her approach to the pool it began to bubble and froth. A second later a form leaped out onto the landing. It was Xt, but by the color of his eyes and the way his medal was glowing she guessed he was in self-defense mode. Backing into the upperchamber, she found that Xt followed her, but did not attack. " Why are you here?" It was not Xt's normal voice that spoke these words. The voice was flat, toneless." I...I wished to speak with you." Jessica managed to stammer out.

 

 " I doubt I am the one you wished to speak to. You are speaking to the AI system that inhabits this units control medal. You have been identified from memory as a friend. As such you will be allowed to await the hosts awakening." Jessica was a bit taken aback by this. " I have never heard of a Control medal speaking before." The control medal on Xt's forehead began to glow, Jessica felt her's begin to respond.

 

" I see. The later models do not use a true AI system. It was abandoned when it was found the the control medal might not co-operate if under a true sentient control. It appears I am the only one of the earlier models in existence." Xt relaxed into a less imposing stance. " My host was disabled earlier today due to a massive power surge through the gauntlet energy emitter. I have repaired the damage caused, and now only await the awakening of the master."

 

 " What caused the overload?" Jessica was a bit shocked that such a thing could happen. The control medal remained silent. It began to extend from Xt's forehead, It's glow intensified as Jessica felt her control medal start recieving flashes of images, parts of conversations, a synopsis of Xt's last few weeks.

 

 She saw the injection of the viral DNA by Zguyver. She witnessed the endless hours of torture. The agony as his innerself was forcibly altered. She saw his desperate search for the cure. And the final night when he tested out the changes to his powers.

 

 When she regained the present Xt's control medal had retracted. His eyes had dimmed and the control medal lay dormant. " Xt?" Jessica whispered. " Yes, I am here. And I saw that last set of images. I suppose It told you exerything?" Xt sounded miserable. " About the infection, about your need for a cure. About the testing last night." Jessica came closer. " Why didn't you tell me? Can't I help?" Xt was silent for a moment.

 

" I wish you could. But, this is too complex even for me to comprehend. I have exhausted my options." Xt seemed resinged to his fate. Jessica Was not about to accept that. " What about going to see Dibblis, He's a Creator, he knows more about the guyver and human Dna than anyone else on the planet." Xt's eyes flashed. " Do not comfort me with Creators, I now understand Warriors hatred of them."

 

 " But he's different. He's already given us a powerful warrior upgrade. He seems willing to help in any way possible. And from what you've said you're already out of any other options."

 

 Xt sighed. " You are correct, I have no other alternative. I will see the Creator, but I will see him alone."

A moment later both the guyvers left the cavern and prepared to make the trip.

 

 "Yes.....Yes, an interesting problem. I see what the Merstora was trying to do, but it has made a few miscalculations." Dibblis was perplexed. " Your internal body was composed almost entirely of energy before this experiment correct?" Xt merely nodded. " I think that in order for the human body to grow it threw your energy matrix out of phase. This would explain the power loss and also the switch to Bio-energy. Unfortunatly you cannot survive on bio-energy alone. Your body will soon reach the point that it can no longer metabolize it and it's system will crash. Not even your guyver can save you then."

 

 Xt was motionless. " Is there any way to stop it?" Dibblis tittered for a moment. " I think so, but it will require some specialized equipment." " What kind of equipment?" Xt left with a list of needed things. It was quite a bit of high grade technology that could come from only one source. Chronos.

 

 Xt created a portal to War Clan Island. He used the computer system there and accessed the data on known Chronos bases. He chose a base in the Himalayas that was isolated and large enough to have what he would need.

 

 A moment later he was gone.

 

 

 

An explosion rocked the Himalaya facility to its core. The zoanoids were caught conpletely off gaurd by the suddeness of the attack. One moment there was a group of fifty zoanoids of all types at the front entrance. The next there was nothing but rubble and ash.

 

 Xt stalked into the base. He was all business. Every zoaniod he encountered died. He came across a room of processing tanks. When he left there was nothing but shattered glass and clouds of steam.

 

 He made his way deeper into the base. He had tried to manage his available power, but he could still feel the weakness starting to effect him. Finally reaching the heart of the complex. In the control room he again used the computers he found there to access information. He found a room in the base that had most of the equipment he needed and located the rest nearby. Moving quickly to this location he entered a room marked Zoa-lord reasearch.

 

The room was made completely of steel. Walls, Ceiling, Floor all were armor plated. This was to control the power of a zoalord if it went insane during the transformation. The processing tank in the center of the room was twice as thick as the normal tanks. And it was also made of a opaque material that made the insides difficult to see.

 

 Xt summoned a portal. As planned Dibblis stepped out with his ever faithful Phantom. But also Assasin and Black came through as well. Xt was suprised by this gentle betrayal. " What are you doing here?" He asked in a quiet voice. Dibblis answered. " They insisted on accompanying us."

 

 Ira stepped forward. " Jess told me about your problem. We felt that if you did find what you needed you might need someone to stand guard while you were out of commision. Besides, You need a little support in this. Your one of us now, we take care of our own.

 

 " I thank you, In truth it is better this way." Xt turned to the Creator. " I have found all the items you requested. How will we proceed?" Dibblis waved a hand at Phantom and she began to leave the room. " Come on you two, We need to plan our defense. Good luck Xt."

 

 Xt turned to Jessica. " Here, You might need this." Saying this he tossed the Plasmasword to the Black guyver. " Thanks, I think your right." The three women left the room. Xt again turned to Dibblis. " Now then, what's next?" .........A few minutes later Xt was ensconced in the heavily re-enforced Processing tank. Dibblis was attaching a final peice of equipment welding it to the side of the housing with his head laser.

 

Out in the remains of the base the three guyvers were planning their battle. They had decided that Assasin would run point, Black would be backup for her and Phantom would do hit and run attacks on any powerhouses that might become a problem.

 

 No sooner had they finalized their plans when the first wave of zoa-noids arrived. They were mostly Bio-Blaster types. The sheer volume of firepower was staggering. Bio-Blasts ranged themselves against Pressure Cannon volleys and Lasers with the occasional Mega-smasher. The battle was heating up when the first Heavy hitter appeared. It was a group of Proto-Zoalords.

 

 They came in firing Hand Beams and gravity bullets. Asassin and Black were to busy dodging to return fire. Black took a gravity shot in mid leap. The proto that fired it was coming in for the kill when he suddenly convulsed once and split neatly in two halves. The proto-zoalords were completely suprised and very confused. In other words they fought very fiercly and died very quickly. Falling to an unseen foe.

 

As the last one dissolved Phantom appeared, her blades stained with blood and gore. She nudged the fallen form and shrugged. " Too Easy!"

She was then thrown forward by a blast from behind. " Not any more." There stood Zertax and a rather large number of Zoa-gods.

 

 Struggling to her feet Phantom faced the new threat. " Shit!" she gasped in a pained voice. The zoa-gods began spreading out, but they did not make any move to attack.

 

 Inside the Base Dibblis was attempting to Access Xt's Control Medal. It was not going well. " Access Denied. You are not seen as an ally. You cannot access my higher programing. My duty is to protect the host." Dibblis mentally cursing the old AI units and now understanding why they were replaced tried a different tack. " What is happening to the host?" The control medal glowed intensly. " The hosts body is being consumed at an alarming rate by a foreign tissue." Dibblis nodded. " Can you prevent the Hosts pending death?" " No. I cannot effect the foreign matter." " Then the Host will die if you do not allow me access. The device the Host is encased in is designed to maintain the hosts vital signs until you can repair the damage, but it cannot do so forever. In order to protect the hosts life you must allow me to update your genetic processor to allow you to effect changes to the Foreign material."

 

The medal dimmed. " Your statement is logical. I have no choice if the host is to survive." The medal went completely dim and extended from Xt's head. Dibblis's own Medal also Extended and began to glow piercingly bright. Xt's C-Medal began to respond with a series of bright flashes. Both medals began to flash first in seperate rythms, then in unison. The flashes began to increase in speed.

 

 The three guyvers moved away from each other, preparing to fight for their lives. Zertax stepped forward. " I offer you a chance, Fight me in single combat. If one of you defeat me. You may all go free. However, if I triumph you will surrender unconditionally. Do we have a deal?" Phantom stepped forward. " We don't have much of a choice now do we?"

 

Zertax smiled. " Move back!" He commanded his troops. They formed a large circle around their leader and Phantom. The other two were near the edge and well within killing distance if they tried to interfere.

 

 Zertax and Phantom faced off. " Just to level the playing field, I will not use my shielding. I wish this to be as fair a fight as possible. With luck you will see that Chronos is not just a pack of Vile Barbarians." Phantom Snorted. " Yeah....Right....Sure!"

 

With that she leaped backward over the circle of Zoa-gods. Zertax didn't move. She was about to pass outside the ring when she was slammed back to the ground. " Did I forget to mention that this ring is the battlefield? A shield has been set up to make certain you stay within it." Phantom cursed as she got back to her feet.

 

 Zertax right arm snapped up and he fired a stream of gravity bullets at the motionless guyver. Phantom strafed to the side returning fire with a volley of head laser shots. The Lasers strike Zertax across the chest. He just stood there as the shots slam into his armored hide, and do nothing. " You'll have to do better than that Guyver." He fires a hand beam that slams into Phantom severing her arm at the elbow.

 

Phantom screamed in pain and went invisable. She ghosted to the side and rushed forward extending her remaining blade. Zertax never saw it coming. The blade struck his shoulder point first. Zertax backed away from the barb and stooping down picked up a handful of dust and flung it in the direction the attack came from. Phantom was caught in the cloud and even invisable she made a outline in the hazy air.

 

Zertax grinned as he stepped forward and slammed his fist into Phantoms gut, dropping her. " Next!"

 

 

The walls reflected the light show back creating a strobiscopic effect. After what seemed like hours the lights dimmed and Xt's Control medal retracted. It began glowing softly, quickly increasing as it absorbed the new data it had received. Xt began to quiver as his internal self began to shift and change under the influence of the guyver's new found knowledge. He screamed in pain as the change went into full effect and then passed out.

 

 Asassin slumped to the ground, her armor burned to ash and missing her legs and an arm. " And then there was one." Zertax muttured turning his gaze on Jessica. She took a battle stance as Zertax turned towards her. " You can do it....Jessica." Asassin said in a pain wracked voice. " I won't let you down Sis!"

 

Zertax again launched a hail of gravity bullets, this time though instead of trying to dodge them Jessica crouched and began firing a stream of Pressure cannon shots towards Zertax. The pressure cannon volley acted as both shield and weapon as it cut through the approaching bullets and pummled Zertax. Without his shields they still did damage, even if only minor. Finally Zertax flipped to the side and fired a hand beam at the still crouched form.

 

Jessica saw it coming and leaped straight up, executing a perfect flip over the Zoa-god leader calling for the plasmasword. As she landed she swung it in a underhand backwards stab that neatly skewered Zertax. Slicing through his abdomen. But he flung himself forward before she could rip him in half.

 

 Crouching Zertax powered up a black hole attack. As he released the  powerful vortex, Jessica activated the power-mode of the sword, surrounding it in the dazzling energyfield. As she was drawn into the vortex she slashed down into it's heart collapsing it. She dove through it at the suprised Zertax.

 

Just when she was about to finish him a blur came out of nowhere, knocking her back and blasting her arm off. The sword fell inactive now, her hand still gripping the handle. She looked up to see a Zoa-god standing over her. Zertax was up in a heartbeat. He stalked over to where Jessica lay and to her suprise, decked the suprised zoa-god. " I thought I made it clear! No interferences!" The zoa-god got to his feet, blood streaming from a gash on his forehead. " My apologies. That attack was not sanctioned." Your attack was a total suprise and a great improvisation. I truly meant for this to be a fair fight. Alas, that is now impossible, and victory is shorn of honor." He turned to the wayward zoa-god. " And it's your fault!" Raising his hand he blew the unfortunate being to oblivion.

 

 Even as the zoa-god died, inside the mountain the lab was filling with steam from the now boiling liquid in the tank. A shadowy form rose slowly from the tank. " How long?" It said with difficulty. Dibblis answered in a soft voice. " Nearly two hours. The others are in great danger, I also gave your unit access to a new level of technology that should increase your energy reserves and upgrade your power level. This.... Mark II technology should make you a match for Warrior if not his superior."

 

 " That is not my concern right now, I must help the others." A portal formed and the form faded into it's depths.

 

 Zertax was preparing to teleport his prisoners back to base when a portal erupted into being. Zertax awaited the arrival of Xt. A form began to take shape as Xt stepped from the hyperspace conduit. " If your looking for a fight, You've got one."

 

Xt extended his shield around the other guyvers and summoned a portal. " Go now!" Phantom carried the still incapacitated Asassin through the portal, Jessica hesitated. " What about you?" Xt stepped up to her placed his hand on her shoulder and shoved her through the portal. " I will follow, in a moment."

 

The portal closed, Xt lower the shield. He turned to face the enraged Zertax. " Now, let the games begin." Xt said in a cold voice.

 

Jessica fell back into the portal. A moment later she was lying on the grassy hillside next to Assasin and Phantom. they were all damaged and regenerating slowly. They turned in the direction of the base some twenty miles away. They saw bright flashes and after a moment heard the sound of massive explosions.

 

Then for a moment all was silent, before the sky lit up light a nuclear detonation had been triggered. A second later the shockwave hit. It was awesomely powerful. Rocks split and fissuresopened in the earth.

 

As the thunder and shaking ceased a portal opened and Dibblis came staggering out. Phantom rushed over to help him. " Where's Xt? What happened?" Dibblis was almost jibbering. " I've never seen anything like it. Never did I think he would be so powerful, It defies reason. He sent the portal for me and ordered me to leave if I wished to live. I don't know what happened after that. But I can no longer sense the presence of the Zoa-gods or any other living thing in the area."

 

 Jessica turned towards the mountain and strethed out her senses, trying to locate Xt.....and found...nothing. No trace. She turned away, stifling a sob. He was gone. Then a flash of rose light behind her caused her to whirl sharply. There was another portal, and out of it stepped the familiar form of Xt.

 

 She ran towards him. And was brought up short by the sight of the damage he had received. One shoulder was almost completely gone. His armor was charred in many places. His sensory spike was broken off short and his chest was a mass of burns. His wounds were healing, and a little faster than usual as well.

 

Walking carefully over to him she softly called his name. " Xt?" His control Medal began to glow. " The host is not functional at the moment, but he will soon return. I require a moment to regenerate needed components." Jessica nodded. " Would you allow me to interface with your unit to enhance your regeneration rate?"

 

" That would be acceptable." She slowly place her hand on Xt's shoulder and felt the slightly electric feeling as her unit interfaced with his. His wounds closed at a rapid rate.

" Unit integrity now at 100%. Creating feedback cycle." Jessica felt a warmth shoot through her as her own healing ability was fed back into her body, but at a refined, faster rate than before.

 

A moment later she to was healed. Xt's medal dimmed and his eyes brightened. "I must rest now." He created two portals. " That one will take you back to War Clan Island. I will join you after I have re-energized." With that he stepped through the other portal and was gone.

 

Dibblis and the others returned to War Clan Island and no one there noticed they had been gone, except the few glances at the still healing scars on Asassin and Phantom.

 

 

Meanwhile Elsewhere.....

 

  Balcus was in his lab testing a new strain of Enzyme acid when he heard a loud pain filled intake of breath from behind him. Whirling he was stunned by the site of Zertax, burned almost beyond recognition and missing one of his arms. " We must get you to a regeneration chamber immediately!" Zertax shook his head. " I must speak to Lord Alkanphel first. We may have a most serious problem." He managed to force out the words.

 

 

On Cerberus Island....

 

 Xt sits beneath a gently swaying palm. His body is healed and the pain is nothing more than a bad memory. He thinks back to the battle, the powers he gained are astonishing. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "his Mark II technology may yet be a most valuable tool."

 

 " But who do you intend to us it against?" Xt rolls into a combat crouch directing his hypersenses towards the voice. A distortion forms and out of it steps Alkanphel.

" What do you want? I have no interest in starting a fight right now." He extends his right forward plasmablade.

 

 Alkanphel doens't move an inch. " I haven't come to fight you. Only to ask your intentions. What do you intend to do?" Xt stands warily. " I intend to protect this planet from the creators.... and after that, from you. But you are also an enemy of the Creators. So for now my enemies enemy is my friend. I will only defend myself and the others from you, should you attack."

 

 " A worthwhile goal. I will now tell you I intend to offer a truce to the World government. Will you also accept this offer?" Xt is silent for a moment before deactivating his plasma-blade. " If they accept your terms I too will accept the truce." Alkanphel nods. " I respect a man that can look to the future, even if that man isn't human." Alkanphel offers his hand to the guyver.

 

 Xt grasps the Zoalords hand as a blast field erupts and Warrior come flying out. He hits Xt across the midriff, throwing the suprised Guyver back. " You son of a BITCH! Never take out a Chronos Base without my permission!" Xt flips backward to a safe distance. " As if I am your subordinate." Warriors eyes glow a violent Red. Alkanphel steps back intrested by this series of events.

 

Warrior rushes forward locking hands with Xt. Warrior then begins to slowly force Xt to the ground. " I am stronger then you alien. Admit defeat!" Xt eyes begin to shift from their normal purple color to a red that matches Warriors but then yellow flecks begin to swirl across the surface. " You don't know what your messing with Warrior. Back Off!"

 

 " Don't tell me what to do!" Warrior screams as he adds more strength to his downward press. Alkanphel watchs the two grapple until he feels a strange new energy begin to emanate from the Alien guyver. " Greg! Stop, Back off now!" Warrior suprised by the shout goes as he is told and leaps away from Xt, just as a massive wall of energy surrounds the guyver.

 

 Inside the sphere of energy a shape can be scene. Its form is in the shape of a guyver. " I warned you, Warrior. Next time listen." The energy field collapses and in its place stands Xt, but now his armor has shifted from green to blue and certain parts of it have shifted to silver. His eyes still glow in the red and yellow firestorm. His hypersensory spike has also changed, new spines now flare out from either side of the control medal.

 

 " Yeah, so I'm not impressed!" Warrior mutters as he again leaps forward. He lashes out with a uppercut. Xt blindingly fast, catches Warriors fist and squeezes. Warrior screams in pain as his hand is crushed under the tremendous pressure. " You will be impressed soon." Xt lets go of his Hand and steps back as Warrior heals the damage.

 

" I am now as strong as you are. But I have no wish to prove it. We are both enemies of the Creators. Our final conflict can wait until they are no longer a threat. Our business is concluded. Now please leave." Warrior leaps forward. " We've settled nothing!" His shield comes in contact with Xt's and both flare violently.

 

Xt thrusts his arm through the weakened shields and grabs warrior by the throat. " Fine, If thats the way you want it.." Elctricity races across the control medal and up the hypersensory spike. He then releases it into a precise hit that strikes warriors C-Medal. Gregs screams as the powerful charge forces his guyver to de-activate.

 

Xt sets down the sleeping form of Greg, and turns to Alkanphel. " I know you too have a history. Take him with you when you go. Hopefully you can talk a little sense into him before he tries and continue this attack. I have no wish to destroy him." Alkanphel shakes his head sadly. " Greg, will you ever learn to analyze a threat before attacking it. I will not apologize for him, its not my place. But I will hold you to your promise and also tell you that if you ever have need of anymore of our technology. Please just ask. We need all the Zoa-gods we can make, without you obliterating them. Also Zertax told me about the battle at the base. He says you had a perfect chance to kill him. And you halted your attack. Why?"

 

 Xt stands silent for a moment. " Of all the zoa-forms I have met, only Zertax has made Honor a point to be observed. I think he must be a fluke, as such I will not willingly destroy him, in the hope that he might infect more of you with his sense of duty and honor." Alkanphel smiles and nods. " I thought it must have been that. He is an amazing being. I to have a sense of honor, even if its not as visible as his. And I shall tell you, none of my subordinates will ever attack you on orders from me. If they do, you have my full authority to do with them as you please."

 

 Xt nods. " A wise precaution. If you have need of any of my knowledge to assist in the protection of earth, I am sure we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangment. And tell Zertax, he did more damage to me then I let show, I was knocked out by the end."

 

 Alkanphel steps forward and carefully picks Greg up and stepping back with a nod the Xt. Teleports them both away from the island. As soon as they leave Xt drops to his knees panting with the effort to remain upright. He feels the energy leaving him and he can't stop it. " Must....Make it..to...the lavapool." He staggers to his feet and then topples forward as the armor de-activates. A naked human hits the ground in a deep sleep.
