I'd like to go out on a limb and say that I've probably written
the bulk of the fanfiction involving the Guyver that
has appeared
on raac. And here is yet another one. If one really thinks
about it, it is a rather solid cross-over, combing the
genetic
mystery of the Guyver, with the blood-hound aspects of
Fox Mulder
and Dana Scully.

Thank you for reading!

NOTE: The Sho Fukamachi that appears in
this fanfic is taken
from the end of 'Guyver: Out of Control,' detailing the
wanderings of Sho after OOC.

FADE IN ON:
FOREST, INT., NIGHT
Three children play are playing in the forest, running down the
well-work paths, with toy-guns in their hands. They imitate
soldiers in a war, hiding behind branches and stumps,
attacking
invisible opponents.
After a short while, they come to a small,
metal bridge with a stream flowing underneath it. They continue
to run across it, only to stop as they see a bright
blue glow
coming from the trees to their left.
BILLY
What is that?
TOMMY
I don't know.
All three of them walk toward to glow, only to find that it has
several men gathered around some sort of hole in the
ground.
There are several men in blue and white body-suits walking around
the perimeter.
Some other men in business suits talk amongst
themselves.
JAMES
How far along on the project
are we?
ASCER
I would assume more than half
way.
JAMES opens a briefcase that is at his feet, and pulls out some
sort of file.
He gives it to ASCER.
JAMES
Here is the personnel
data. Make sure that it
is not lost. Both of our heads will roll if it
does.
ASCER
I'll make sure that it
doesn't.
ASCER hands it to an individual at his right, who promptly
leaves. JAMES
and ASCER begin walking toward a limo at the left
end of the field.
JAMES
My only concern is that the
Guyver does not show
up, as
usual, when a Guyver unit is found.
ASCER
May I remind you that we have
the most-skilled
soldiers
on the eastern sea-board.
The chauffeur opens the rear door for JAMES.
JAMES sits down.
The chauffeur closes the door, and JAMES lowers the window.
JAMES
Do you remember what happened
in Tokyo?
ASCER
Everybody does, Mr.
James.
JAMES
Well, they had the most
powerful AND skilled Zoanoids
in
Japan. Unfortunately, that still was not
enough
to
halt the Guyver's progress.
ASCER
We'll try to keep this as
silent as possible.
JAMES
You do that.
JAMES closes the window, and the limo drives off.
BILLY
(whispering)
What're they doing out
here? Let's go. I'm
getting
scared.
TOMMY
(whispering)
I'm getting scared to.
BILLY and TOMMY turn to leave, when KENNY trips over some rocks.
KENNY
Ouch!
The commotion has caught the attention of the men who were
walking around the area. They come to investigate.
BILLY
Run!
BILLY, TOMMY and KENNY begin running like made, but the two men
that are chasing them catch up nearly without a break
in their
stride. They
catch BILLY and KENNY. TOMMY trips and
begins
shuffling backward.
The shadow of the men growing larger play across him,
SOLDIER
Children shouldn't be
nosy.
TOMMY gets back up, and runs as fast as he can.
CUT TO:
TOMMY, RUNNING
TOMMY hears the screams of his two friends.
FADE TO BLACK
[X-FILES INTRO]
FADE IN ON:
COMMUNITY OF HOUSES, EXT., DAY
SCREEN WRITING, LOWER LEFT CORNER. FIRST
LINE: Fort Mead,
Maryland. SECOND LINE: 10:30 am.
MULDER
V-O
Agent Scully and I have been
called to Fort
Mead, Maryland, for a rather
unusual report.
It appears that two young children were
murdered
during
the previous night.
A car drives up to a house. MULDER and
SCULLY get out of the
car.
MULDER V-O
(cont'd)
Normally, this type of case
would be handed over
to the
local authorities. But this
situation
was
slightly different.
SCULLY rings the doorbell.
MULDER V-O
(cont'd)
It seemed that the two children
were found with
rather
large tear and bite marks on them.
A rather worn woman answers the door.
RITA
Yes? Can I help you?
SCULLY and MULDER pull out their I.D.s and show them to RITA.
SCULLY
I'm Special Agent Scully and this is
Detective
Mulder. We came to have a look at your son.
SCULLY and MULDER put their I.D.s away.
SCULLY
(cont'd)
We were informed that he saw
something
about the
accident last night, Mrs. Loane.
RITA
Oh, yes. Please come in.
RITA moves out of the doorway, and SCULLY and MULDER enter the
house. They
them move into the den, and all three of them sit
down.
RITA
He's been up in his room all
day. He said he
was
feeling sick. I thought it was just
him
fooling
around. It wasn't until we heard
that
those
two boys were...killed...that he said
something. I didn't know whether he was
fooling,
or telling the truth. He seemed
sincere
about it.
SCULLY
So far, your son is the only
person we can count
on to
solve this case.
MULDER
To make sure that your son is
even remotely
telling
the truth, we need to ask you some
questions.
RITA
Go ahead.
MULDER
Tell me, miss, does your family
have a history
of
mental disorders? Anything at all
that
would
indicate hysteria, memory lapses, or cases
of
epilepsy?
RITA
No, not that I know of. Tommy never had any of
those
things when he was growing up. He
was
always
a good boy. Never one to lie about
things
like
this, or even be involved in things like this.
MULDER
May we see him?
RITA
If you wish. He's up in his room.
DOOR, EXT.
RITA knocks on the door, then opens it.
TOMMY'S ROOM, INT.
TOMMY is sitting on his bed, with the covers wrapped around him,
looking out of the window.
RITA
Tommy? These two people want to ask you about
what
you saw last night.
TOMMY continues to look out of his window.
SCULLY
Maybe it would be best if you
waited out here.
RITA
Oh...okay.
SCULLY and MULDER enter TOMMY's room and close the door.
SCULLY
Tommy? My name is Dana, and this is Fox.
TOMMY
Are you here to take me to
jail?
SCULLY shakes her head and smiles.
SCULLY
No, we're not going to take you
away. We just
want
to ask you about what you saw last night.
TOMMY
Are you sure you're not going
to take me away?
SCULLY
We're sure. Now, what were you doing last night?
TOMMY
Well, Billy, Kenny and me were playing war out in
the
forest back there.
MULDER begins taking notes.
TOMMY
We like to play in the dark,
because it makes us
think
we're a special commando squad. We
were
shooting
things when we saw a light from over by
the
bridge. We went over there, and there
was
all
these people around this hole. When we
wanted
to get
away, Kenny tripped on a rock. And we
ran,
but
these two guys just came from nowhere and
grabbed
'em.
Then-
TOMMY's face turns white.
MULDER
Then-? Then what?
TOMMY
The two people...they started
to GROW.
SCULLY/MULDER
Grow?
TOMMY
(shaking)
Yeah...their teeth and claws
and...I ran. I
heard
them screaming as I did.
SCULLY
Well, you did the right thing
by running. But,
Tommy? Are you sure this is the story? You
wouldn't
be lying?
TOMMY shakes his head.
TOMMY
That's the truth. Mum says I should always tell
the
truth if it's important.
SCULLY
Well, your mom's right. Thanks, Tommy.
TOMMY nods.
CUT TO:
HOUSE, EXT.
SCULLY and MULDER get into their car.
SCULLY
Well? What do you think? Fact or fiction?
MULDER
I would normally think
fiction. But the boy was
scared
of something. Whether it was some
sort
of
"werewolf" or just a person, something DID
happen,
and that kid saw it.
SCULLY
I guess our next bet would be
to look at the
scene
itself.
MULDER
Could be.
MULDER puts on his seat belt, then SCULLY does.
She starts the
car, and they begin driving.
SCULLY
Why would you say
"werewolf"?
MULDER
Come again?
SCULLY
You used the word
"werewolf" when you were talking
about
Tommy.
MULDER.
Well, from myth, werewolves
were humans who had a
curse
put on them. They would turn into half-man,
half-wolf
when they saw a full moon.
SCULLY
Lycanthropy.
MULDER
Yes. It was supposed to be spread by the bite
of
a
werewolf.
SCULLY
Do you REALLY think we're up
against werewolves?
MULDER
Do you have something else to
suggest? Scully,
this
is common ground for us. There's
nothing
new
here. Then again, this may all be
some
elaborate
hoax.
CUT TO:
FOREST, INT.
SCREEN WRITING, LOWER LEFT CORNER. FIRST
LINE: Fort Mead,
Maryland. SECOND LINE: 11:12 am.
MULDER
So, maybe it isn't a
hoax.
MULDER and SCULLY examine the blood marks on the trees and
stumps. A
pot-bellied man in a business suit walks up to them.
MILES
What can I do for both of
you?
MULDER and SCULLY show their I.D.s and put them away.
MULDER
I'm Detective Mulder. This is Special Agent
Scully. We're here to investigate the murders.
MILES
Well, I hope you two can find
out something.
'cause
we're stumped, if you know what I mean.
MULDER
Tell me, are there any animals
around here?
Bears or deer?
MILES
Not a one. This area only had birds in it.
MULDER
How about some sort of dog from
the surrounding
houses?
MILES scratches his head.
MILES
There aren't many dogs around
these parts, and I
can
tell you that it definitely wasn't a dog.
SCULLY
How so?
MILES
I assume that you haven't seen
the bodies yet?
Miss Scully, I grew up with dogs. My dad was a
dog-breeder
of all kinds. I've seen what dogs
can do
to other dogs, steers, and even a person
or
two. But what I saw about those kids, NO
dog
I know of could be
responsible.
MULDER
Did you find anything
around? Fingerprints?
I.D.?
MILES
We only found three toy
guns. That was about it.
The rest that we found were
scraps of clothing.
MULDER
Do you mind if we look
around?
MILES
Suit yourself. We're just about wrapping up.
Let me know if I can do
anything else for you.
SCULLY
We'll remember. Thanks.
MILES begins walking in the opposite direction that they came,
and soon disappears.
MULDER
So, what do you think
now?
SCULLY
Mulder, just because two kids have a
bunch of
scratches
and bite marks does NOT mean that
there's
a WEREWOLF running loose!
MULDER
But what if my theory is
true? That there are
such diseases as
lycanthropy?
SCULLY
Then we'll have time to debate
about it THEN.
Right now, I see two dead kids,
and SOMETHING
happened. I'm not dismissing what you've said,
but
I'm exactly going to believe it right now.
SOUND, B.G., MACHINERY
SCULLY
What's that?
MULDER
I don't know...sounds like
drilling equipment.
CUT TO:
MINING AREA
MULDER and SCULLY step into the area.
The same blue and white
soldiers are walking around, and there are several men
dressed in
over-alls, digging up
something in a very large hole. They
are
noticed by a man in a business suit. He walks over to them.
ASCER
This is private property. Do you have a reason
to be
here?
MULDER and SCULLY show him their I.D.s, and they put them away.
ASCER
I'm terribly sorry. We have something quite
valuable
that is being dug up. We don't
want
unnecessary
people here.
SCULLY
Just exactly what are you
digging up?
ASCER
A relic of the past. From what we gather, it
dates
nearly back to the dinosaurs.
MULDER/SCULLY
Dinosaurs?
ASCER
So we think. Then again, it might be something
that
was buried by a lonesome dog.
He laughs, but SCULLY and MULDER don't see the humor
in it.
ASCER
Sorry.
MULDER
We wanted to ask you a few
questions.
ASCER
Questions? About what in particular?
MULDER
Have you heard about the murder
of the children?
It happened last night.
ASCER
No. We've been so busy, we haven't heard
about
the
two boys.
MULDER
Really? It occurred just a short distance from
here. Perhaps you heard something?
ASCER
'fraid not. The
sounds of the digging get very
loud
sometimes. We wouldn't be able to
hear,
even
if a bomb dropped right on top of us.
MULDER
What company is funding this
dig?
ASCER
Company? Oh, the Kronos Corporation.
MULDER
Kronos? Hmmm.
Oh well, thank you for your time.
ASCER
Don't mention it. Say, what were your names?
MULDER
I'm Detective Mulder, and this
is Special Agent
Scully.
ASCER
Thank you.
MULDER and SCULLY leave the grounds in the way they came. VICKS
walks up behind ASCER.
VICKS
Who were they?
ASCER
Detective Mulder and Agent
Scully. Do me a
favor: check
them out. Do whatever it takes.
I don't like the look, or feel,
of them one bit.
VICKS
Very well.
ASCER
If you find anything
"interesting" about them,
and
they return, kill them both.
VICKS
Yes sir.
CUT TO:
CAR, INT.
SCULLY opens the driver's side and sits down.
MULDER opens the
passenger side, and sits.
SCULLY
And before you even say it, no,
I don't think
that a
dinosaur is running around, killing people.
You've been watching too many
movies.
MULDER
It's just a theory.
SCULLY
Werewolves are one thing, but
dinosaurs?
MULDER
Still, I think there's a little
more going on
at
that site than he wants us to know.
SCULLY
You're not serious, are
you?
MULDER
Fully serious. Scully, look at all of the
security
that they had around?
SCULLY
That's usual for a dig of that
nature.
MULDER
That's an ARMY. Secondly, why would a biological
research
company be interested in an architectural
dig?
SCULLY
Yes, Kronos is a biological
research firm.
Perhaps-
SCULLY puts the keys in the ignition.
MULDER
Scully, he said he didn't know
that the boys
were
murdered last night. But when we asked
him,
he
said that he didn't hear about the "two boys."
I only told him
"boys."
SCULLY stops.
MULDER
Look, Scully. They know who did it. I think
they're
doing something pretty important, and
they
don't want anyone to know about it.
SCULLY
Then what do you suggest we do about
it?
MULDER
We find out what they're
doing. One way or another.
I'm going back there later
tonight.
SCULLY
I'll go to.
MULDER
It'll be too dangerous. Get back to the hotel,
and
start your report. I'll radio if I'll
need
back
up.
FADE TO BLACK
CUT TO:
FOREST, INT., NIGHT
MULDER lurks around in the forest. He
makes great pains to avoid
being seen or heard.
He cross the bridge, and stays a safe
distance away from the site, without being seen or
heard.
SOUND, B.G., BUSHES MOVING
MULDER turns around and sees someone looking at him. MULDER
pulls out his gun.
MULDER
Identify yourself.
SHO puts his hands up.
SHO
Easy. I'm just watching.
MULDER
Who the hell are you?
SHO (whispering)
Keep your voice down, or
they'll hear you!
MULDER sticks points his gun a little more firmly at SHO.
MULDER
You still haven't answered my
question yet.
SHO
I'm Sho Fukamachi.
MULDER
Fukamachi? Are you Japanese?
SHO
Yes. Did my accent give me away?
MULDER
Actually, no. Your name did. Just what the hell
are
you doing here, anyway?
SHO
The same thing you are. I'm investigating.
Could you please put that thing
away? I'm getting
nervous.
MULDER lowers his gun, but still grasps it.
He turns to look
again at the dig.
MULDER
No offense, but this isn't
exactly the best thing
to be
investigating. I hate reporters
anyway.
SHO
I'm not a reporter.
MULDER
Then what ARE you doing
here? Working for them?
SHO
No. AGAINST them...Kronos.
MULDER turns back to SHO.
MULDER
Come again?
SHO
Yes. I've made it a goal to stop whatever
they're
doing.
MULDER
Stop what they're doing? Kronos is a respected
company
here. Donations, contributions-
SHO
It's all an act for what they
do.
MULDER
And what do they do, pray tell?
SHO
They want to conquer the
planet.
MULDER gives him a skeptical look.
MULDER
You really want me to believe
that? You've been
watching
too much T.V., kid.
SHO
I'm not a kid. I've seen more that you will EVER
know,
Detective Mulder.
MULDER
Wait a minute...how do you know
my name?
SHO
I heard you conversing with Mr.
Ascer when you
were
here this morning.
MULDER
Do you make it a habit to spy
people and eavesdrop?
SHO
In this case, yes.
MULDER
What's this grudge against
Kronos that you have?
SHO
This...really isn't the best
place to discuss it.
MULDER
Well, I say it is. I'm the one with the gun.
SHO sighs.
SHO
I crossed paths with Kronos
rather...by accident.
I've been "involved"
in their plans for some time.
MULDER
What do you mean,
"involved"?
SHO
I picked up something that they
wanted, quite
against
my own will.
MULDER
What's that?
SHO
Another of what they're trying
to dig up now.
MULDER
And what are they digging
up.
SHO
Something called a Guyver
Unit.
MULDER
Guyver Unit?
SHO
It's an alien device
MULDER
Alien?
SHO
I'm telling you, this is not
the place to be
discussing
this.
A light shines over MULDER's and SHO's faces.
SOLDIER
You! What are you two doing here?!
SHO
Run!
SHO and MULDER begin running. As they
do, the SOLDIER follows,
at a very fast pace.
SHO
Whatever you do, keep
running!
MULDER doesn't have time to disagree, he is running through
bushes, and over small gaps.
He hears a ripping sound from behind him.
He stops and turns,
only to see the huge frame of a giant creature, with
purple fur,
and large fangs and claws.
SOLDIER
Where's your friend?
MULDER can't muster any words for what he just saw. He opens his
mouth, but no words come out.
