Clan Ship Argus
“Something was very
wrong,” thought Draven. The Guyver 0 and Guyver Supreme where both
missing and had not being found yet. If that was not enough along with
them the test Unit Proto Guyver was also missing. They should have being
found by now or at least some sign of where they were. But there was
nothing. They were both former Gen, they knew there would be nowhere
they could run too that they could hide for long. Then he wondered why
would they do such a thing? Yes what happened to them since arriving on
this world was harsh. One made himself an outcast the other done so by
accident. But they had both made a life for themselves and had families.
Why put that at risk? He knew both of the former Gen before they became
human he knew of their lives since. Everything suggested that they would
not simply throw that life away without very good reason. He at least
expected to know what that reason was. Now he wondered if he would ever
know the reason. G’Kor now ordered Zeugma and Kron to work together to
remove their Units and kill them.
Mount Guyver
Guyver 0 and Guyver
Supreme teleported into the chamber of the Portal itself. Looking around
Guyver Supreme wondered why they teleported here there was no sign of
any people let alone a tribe.
“There should be
people here,” said Guyver 0.
“Looks like your
information is a little out of date,” said Guyver Supreme.
“No, it’s just not
accurate. Let’s check over there we’ll most likely find there settlement
outside,” said Guyver 0 pointing towards the entrance of the cave. Both
Guyver’s left the cave the body of the Razule’s son over the shoulder of
Guyver Supreme. As Guyver 0 suspected there was indeed a settlement
outside that was down the valley. It was not the only one either there
was now a few settlements around the mountain.
“It’s much larger
than I expected,” said Guyver 0.
“Yes, this might
take awhile,” said Guyver Supreme.
“There’s not much
else we could do let’s go to the closest one and see if they know of
this boy.”
Both Guyver’s
searched the different settlements. They did not meet any resistance,
both of them where able to communicate after reading the minds of those
before them and learning their language. They soon found out that there
was mainly people here from three different Tribes. It was not long
before they met one of the Tribe of the Form who recognised the boy. It
was not good news, he was the son of the Tribes Leader.
Mars – Core Base of Ananke
G’Kor stood by
beside the huge form of the Guyver Zoalord. He was not happy about what
had happened here. The test site of Ananke was in ruins. He had not got
what he wanted from there. Ananke deceased body was before them, soon it
would go rouge.
“Destroy what
remains of her,” said G’Kor.
In his arm was one
of the prototype Units she was working on. What she called it he did not
know. But he knew of its advanced Artificial Intelligence. He would call
it the Assassin Unit. But where was the other advanced work she was
doing? He would never know now as her body was obliterated by the Guyver
Zoalord.
“Her death would
have alerted the others now. Even I can’t hide that.”
“My apologies
master.”
“What is done is
done. We have to move on now. You know the other Units I want you to
obtain for me insure the rest are destroyed.”
Guyver Zoalord
nodded. He knew what G’Kor wanted but he also knew there were targets of
his own. Fulton was only the first! A favour for him from his master
G’Kor. “I will always do what you ask of me,” said the Guyver Zoalord.
But now that his mind was free he thought to himself “for now”. The
final betrayal could wait he was good at waiting after all.
Mount Guyver
Razule looked as if
the life had being taken from him. Before him the tribes shaman was
dressing the dead body of his son for the afterlife. In a way he was
thankful for at least this. Most fathers of a Test son or daughter never
got to prepare their body for the afterlife. As the shaman worked away
two of the most feared Guyvers on Gaia where telling him the story of
what happened to his son. They knew the father was in shock but
continued to tell him what had happened. As they finished the story
Razule sat their without emotion numbed to the world.
They left the
chieftain’s hut unsure what would happen next. They did not know well
Razule only hearing of him in rumour. Like Supreme he was a former Test
Unit that was now used as a Test for others to fight against. An early
though very stable Nova Project prototype. If he sided with them they
would at least have some chance at survival. But not here on this world,
their only chance now was to find some other world away from here and
escape. To do that they would possibly need to take out a Zoalord and
its army. To do that they needed the people of mount Guyver. They needed
Razule!
“He took the news
well,” said Pariah turning to Zero.
“He took the news
about as well a father could,” said Zero.
“I guess I’m lucky
in that I’ve not had to go through that yet,” said Pariah.
“Indeed you are,”
said Zero his voice tinged in a sadness that indeed only a parent who
lost a child would know. Countless
children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren he seen them all
grow beyond old age. That was the price of immortality and it was not
one he liked to pay. There were times he welcomed the idea of death and
that he would meet his lost children in the afterlife. But fate meant
even that was not an easy task. Zero realised this but said nothing he
knew he’d touched a raw nerve in what he’d just said. They stood around
for awhile waiting to see what the decision of Razule would be.
In another group of
huts a short distance away Fimus leader of the Great Snake spoke with
Hector. He now was leader effectively of a tribe of his own made of a
mixture of former members of all the other three tribes. They had
expanded now beyond the mountain and taking advantage of more fertile
land and practices learned from the farmers who supplied Argus they had
an abundance of food. News of the Guyver 0 and Guyver Supreme’s
appearance interrupted negotiations between not just farther and son but
leaders looking for the best for their people. As always what the gods
wanted concerned Fimus more than it did Hector. Firnus though knew it
was best not to act on rumour. His son Hector agreed they would wait to
see if this was true that they were here and what they wanted.
Both Zero and Pariah
turned suddenly as they heard “Guyver” being roared at the top of man’s
voice. Not sure how Razule was reacting both activated their own Unit’s
ready for whatever happened. He burst out of the hut sending wood, dirt
and building materials flying everywhere. Razule made an impressive
Guyver, his unit made him larger and bulkier looking than Guyver Supreme
but his armour was more pointed and angular a sign of Hpa’Tus Vulcan’s
work.
“They killed my son!
My boy! But what are we to the Guyver Zoalord!?” roared Guyver Razule at
Guyver 0 and Guyver Supreme.
“The three of us are
nothing,” answered Guyver 0.
“Nothing?” roared
back Guyver Razule his emotion still driving his actions he was taken
aback by what Guyver 0 said. “Then why the hell did you come here
looking for help?”
“We don’t have a
chance against the Guyver Zoalord. But with you and the other test
Guyvers we at least have a chance of escaping this world with our
people!”
“Escape? How do we
escape a world?” asked the confused Guyver.
“The Guyver Unit is
basically a suit made to command a space ship. It will take us from here
to the stars away from here and away from the danger and we can live
free!” said Guyver Supreme.
“We can have
families without the worry that someone claiming to be a God will decide
to take our children away bond them to a Guyver unit and force them to
fight to the death!” said Guyver 0.
Guyver Razule simply
nodded. He never knew what the Guyver unit was really for. But now it
made sense the Armour of the Gods as they called it really was that. The
stories of the ship that came from the sky when he was a child suddenly
made sense now. They would use the Armour and they would use it for what
it was intended and escape this world the so called Gods had ruined.
Their own personal hell would be made for them by the Guyver Zoalord and
they would live in it!
Out of a crowd of
people a woman walking towards them caught the eye of Guyver 0. Her hair
was golden blond and her eyes. Her EYES! It was Zeugma! He tried to
reach out to her with his mind but he could sense something was wrong
right away her will was not her own. At the same time on the other side
of the three Guyvers a man walked towards them. Guyver Supreme
recognised him as well, it was Kron.
“Order your people
to escape now! The Zoalord Leaders are here!” roared Guyver 0 at Guyver
Razule.
Guyver Razule did
so, the tribe scattered and ran leaving tools and homes running past
thee two Zoalords. But to Guyver Supreme’s dismay a large portion of
them ran towards the safety of the caves. The caves where not a place to
hide from master Zoalords.
Zeugma acted first
sending the Guyver 0 flying with a telekinetic blast. Guyver 0 didn’t
even get the time to think about activating his gravity controller
before he found himself flung into the side out the mountain with such
force that he left an impact creator. Guyver Supreme knew what this
meant. Divide and conquer, even though they alone out powered him and
Guyver 0 the Zoalord’s didn’t mess around when it came to killing their
target. Both Zoalords them
changed into their battle forms. Guyver Supreme knew who the most
powerful was firing everything that he could at Zeugma. But it was like
he’d done nothing at all as all his attacks were diverted into sky by
her powers.
“Why Zeugma!? There
is a Guyver Zoalord out there! Why the hell are you coming after us?”
Asked Guyver Supreme now standing still awaiting his fate there was
nothing he could do against her power.
“She does not hear
you Guyver,” said Zeugma. Even in her Zoalord form she did not seem
herself this conformed what he sensed someone controlled her and he was
obvious who it was. Zeugma raised her right arm there was a blinding
light as a remover appeared from nowhere and attached to her arm.
“G’Kor you bastard!
Someday someone will get my revenge on you!”
“Not likely at all
Guyver,” said Zeugma. Even the voice did not sound properly like hers
when she spoke. The remover on her arm was raised and pointed towards
him. He closed his eyes wondering if it would be as painful as the day
he bonded with the Unit. There was a flash of light and then before he
knew it his Unit was removed. Pariah stood there motionless knowing what
came next was a fiery death. “At least I’ll die before his children,”
was the only thought going through his head as he awaited his fate.
Then he heard the
voice of a Guyver roaring something in a foreign tongue. He opened his
eyes to see Guyver Razule his body glowing. He turned around to see the
Zoalords pressed to the ground as a dark gravity field sounded them.
Maybe just maybe he could kill one in this surprise attack but before he
even stepped towards them to finish the job his body exploded and the
huge form of the Guyver Zoalord stood where he once was. A wave of
destruction flew out from his body destroying the village and killing
everything for a mile around him except Pariah and the Zoalords. “Why
had he spared me,” thought Pariah.
“The Guyver 0 is in
the cave system. Go find him,” ordered the Guyver Zoalord. Kron and
Zeugma brushed themselves off Zeugma picked up the dormant Supreme Unit
and then flew off with Kron after his friend. To the shock of Pariah the
two master Zoalords had obeyed him.
“They are under the
control of G’Kor little Gen hybrid,” said the Guyver Zoalord looking
Pariah in the eyes.
“Why have you let me
live?”
“For amusement, At
the very least your being alive will be the very proof I need when I
show the rest of your kind who betrayed them.”
“You want to use me
against G’Kor?”
“No, not just G’Kor,
I want to use you against your whole wretched kind. You all came to my
world. Enslaved its people and used us to make this weapon,” said Guyver
Zoalord pointing around his body. Pariah knew he meant the Guyver amour
and he was correct in what he said about his race and what they did.
Reeve after all would have being part of the process. “I’ll show them
all, when your army is defeated and they have no more protectors I’ll
show them you and in your mind they will see what G’Kor has done and
then in their horror of knowing their betrayal I’ll kill them all!”
“What of me?”
“Ah yes, do you
think Kron and I didn’t know of your family? Of how you and Zero
arranged for them to be hidden in a far off land? Of course we knew. But
I do not care about killing women and children of yours.”
“At least they will
be safe, do as you will Zoalord.”
“Run from here
ex-Guyver, when I decide I need you I’ll find you with ease.” Pariah
nodded, he didn’t understand how Reeve knew what he knew or how he would
find him anywhere. But a Guyver Zoalord could be capable of anything. It
did not matter what mattered now was to do what he ordered. He didn’t
know which way to go. But ran the direction the Guyver Zoalord pointed
too when he told him to leave.
<“Reeve, you’ve
being found out. The Guyver you killed was a test Unit. It’s death call
gave more information than I expected. They know a Guyver Zoalord killed
it.”> said G’Kor through the telepathically.
<“No more hiding
then my master. I will bring them true terror to them all!”>
Feral Island 100 miles south east of present day Malaysia
Inside the Warcraft
the dormant Warrior Unit sat in its pedestal. In the cable next to it
Solom couldn’t believe what was happening. He probably wouldn’t have
either but like Hpa’Tus Vulcan he was capable of translating what the
dead call from the prototype Nova Unit meant. There was no denying what
caused its death. He tried to contact Ananke but she did not respond. He
knew deep down that only could mean she was dead. That or she was
ignoring him but in a time of crisis like this he knew her well enough
that if she was alive she would be in contact with him and Krullnar
right away. Something had stopped her form doing so. He ordered his son
to leave his test site and go to Knossos.
His control medal
then lit up as another Gen died and he sensed the death through his
Unit. He didn’t know who it was but the effect of it was instant. There
was a shockwave of fear throughout all their forces.
Every Zoalord and zoanoid on Earth suddenly found themselves with a
barrage of orders from various Gen looking for protection. Solom knew in
this Chaos it would mean their undoing but such was the fear gripping
his people he felt he could do nothing about it.
Seconds later Grogan of the
Eliminator Project sent an image of a Guyver that further added to the
chaos. It was undeniable now and the others quickly realised what it
was, a Guyver Zoalord. How in the name of the Thirteen did he get a
Unit? How could he have overcome the Limitation Device and be properly
Bio-Boosted? A second later Grogan the Gen in charge of the Eliminator
project was killed.
Solom almost instinctively knew he was in danger. Grogan was one of his
rivals. If the Guyver Zoalord viewed them as potential rivals to his
power then he and the other Gen who were part of the Warrior Projects
would be top of his hit list for that very reason. Moments after the
realisation there was more deaths as the team that worked with Grogan
were also killed.
Deep in the lands of what would later become China Hpa’Tus Vulcan the
creator of the Nova Project too realised that this would be the end of
his life. He had his ship teleport away his pregnant human wife as far
as he was concerned his real life’s work. His wife now safe he dreaded
this and realised that his work might be activated someday by one of kin
that did not have access to a Unit. He quickly programmed a message into
the test units in the hope that someday their life’s work will not be
lost to such an engine of destruction and that his children or offspring
would someday claim their birthright. He then quickly readied an escape
root and hid the two great test ships. Before being swallowed by the
ground an escape pod fired into the sky he hoped deep down that he would
escape. But he was not so lucky moments later the Guyver Zoalord
destroyed the pod killing the chief rival of Solom.
Solom held his head in his hands. All hope was lost. There was nothing
that could stand against such a being. It was destroying anything that
had a chance against it. His great scientific rival Hpa’Tus Vulcan had
just been killed and soon the unit he made to rival that great secret
prototype of Vulcan’s would be destroyed along with himself. No he would
not let that happen. He might die today but somehow his research would
live on beyond him. Miles away at Solom’s old Bio-Research Ship the
Genesis were the Battle Unit and other prototypes of his team where
stored the earth rumbled and shook has the great ship sunk itself into
the ground. Solom hoped the ship he now resided would be the main target
of the Guyver Zoalord and that his son Krullnar who was now on Knossos
would someday return and claim his prototypes and finish his life’s
work.
Mount Guyver
Guyver 0 awoke to
see the Guyver Zoalord leave. He could also see Kron and Zeugma coming
towards him. He tried to contact Pariah but wasn’t able to. Then in the
hand of Zeugma he saw the dormant Supreme Unit. Razule’s death awoke him
so he was without any help now. There was only one option as he wasn’t
about to stand there and die. He ran into the caves with the two
Zoalords after him. He tried to use the Portal but it was unresponsive
now. He knew why G’Kor was making sure he died as he knew the truth
about him. G’Kor the bastard, somehow someday if he lived past today he
would have his revenge on him.
Kron and Zeugma
entered the cave system. Humans hid in different corners of the large
cavern. Zeugma saw the face of Aaye looking back at her from the
darkness. It was her modern day clone. Seeing her brought back memories
of the many times she had to kill her friend. But no sooner did she
think of it the thoughts where pushed into the back of mind by G’Kor.
His puppet had a mission and she couldn’t be getting emotional during
the middle of it!
Guyver 0 was already
down deep into the mountain having found a side cave he had tunnelled
using the pressure cannon to get away from and now was under them. Above
him he could sense the two Zoalords searching for him. Then suddenly
they stopped and stood still the Remover on Zeugma’s arm detached as she
dropped dormant Supreme Unit to the ground. Both Zoalords then exited
the cave. Outside Zeugma and Kron looked at each other wondering how
they got here. She looked around where the Tribe of the Form and others
used to have a village and it was like a war zone,
What had the Gods ordered her to do this time? But before her
questions were answered Draven contacted Kron and her. A Guyver Zoalord
had attacked they needed them to go after him right away and stop him!
Both Master Zoalords disappeared after the Guyver Zoalord leaving a
surprised Guyver 0 still inside the cave.
Knossos – Floating City above Mount
Olympus
Krullnar for the
first time in his life didn’t know what to do and like so many of his
brethren was in a state of panic. “How could it be possible?” the basic
question just couldn’t be answered and it drove everyone into a state of
panic. The Council of the 13 had not yet established order on their
army. Without the Zoalords the people panicked more. But Krullnar
understood why they were not here. A Guyver Zoalord would need
everything they had to kill it. Any and every Zoalord would gather
together somewhere. As it was not here it was most likely at the place
closest to the 13 Argus. Maybe they hoped that would be the last stand
of the Gen there? That though would not save his people or him. His
father told him to escape he would have to somehow arrange that. With
the City’s Teleport system overwhelmed with requests that was not an
option for Krullnar either.
“Think Krullnar
think,” said Krullnar to himself trying to gain some focus. How can he
escape? He walked into the park looking for some solitude but there was
none even there. Gen where so like humanity when it came to how they
reacted to fear. Their human bodies had adapted over millions of years
and that evolution kicked in the grip of fear some people simply thought
hiding in the bushes or up in a tree would save them from the Guyver
Zoalord. No that beast when he came here would simply destroy the while
city and the floating city would fall to the Earth below. No hiding
would save them like him would have to escape this world somehow and
hope that the Guyver Zoalord did not know where to follow them.
“Escape,” looking at the fountain in the middle of the park he wondered.
The floating city, could it be somehow teleported away with him and
everyone else on it? He did not see himself above others if he was to
escape he would take his people with him!
“The portal,” it
brought supplies too this world from the other Gen worlds. It wasn’t
designed for it but maybe it could somehow help them escape? But a whole
city it wouldn’t have enough power... Power someone who could somehow
power the teleport. Seraph, only her, a master Zoalord who’s soul
responsibility was to protect the City had the capability of doing this!
Krullnar ran from
the Park towards the central tower of Knossos. In a time of crisis she
would be there with the leaders of the city. There were people
everywhere. The closer he got to the tower the worst the crowds of
screaming Gen got. Then he spotted a face he recognised Elaina the
daughter of Hpa’Edem. She had yet to reach the age of eighteen cycles
and was not yet bonded to a Unit but Krullnar knew of her father’s
praise. Even in the few glimpses of her he could see the panic on her
face. Without a Unit she would be depending on others to pass on
information to her. Gen were not known for that when they are in a state
of panic. He couldn’t stop though and continued towards the tower.
North East Asia
Zeugma just couldn’t
understand what had happened to her. One moment she was on Knossos the
next thing she remembers is a feeling she was hunting someone. But her
memory was very vague she knew she was being tampered with but no one
would listen to her now that a Guyver Zoalord was active. It did not
matter now, Kron and her had just passed over the North pole as the Gods
had given her a mission to attack a Guyver Zoalord. Draven explained
just how powerful the creature was. Zeugma knew even though she was
possibly the most powerful Zoalord they had created a Guyver Zoalord was
more so. A Remover had being teleported to Kron. The plan he gave Kron
and her was simple. She would use her most powerful attack on him. Kron
using the remover would strike second and remove the Unit. Once that was
done kill the Zoalord for his betrayal!
Zeugma and Kron flew
over the lands that used to be home Grogan’s Eliminator Project. The
Ship the God used for his project was completely obliterated its
distinct bio-material blown all over the landscape clear even at the
height the two Master Zoalords flew. In a few minutes they would be soon
over the lands of the Nova Project. There they hoped they would catch up
with their target the Guyver Zoalord.
<“Who do you think
it is Kron?”>
<“Who do I think is
what?”>
<“The Guyver Zoalord, which Zoalord do you think would do this to our
Gods?”>
<“I do not know Zeugma, but they are no Gods...”> said Kron looking at
the wreaked landscape ahead of him. The Guyver Zoalord was there looking
for the Nova Project ship. As far has he could figure out in the moments
before a Gen stopped his line of thought if these beings where “Gods”
they would not need Zeugma and him to deal with a Guyver Zoalord. Zeugma
did not get the chance to argue with her former mate. Ahead of her she
too saw the Guyver Zoalord as he cut a huge section of land away before
him then lifting it telekinetically like it was nothing and moving it
out of his way. Zeugma though was not impressed she too was capable of
such feats!
<“Zoalord, deactivate the Guyver Unit and submit yourself to the
judgement of the Gods!”> Ordered Zeugma attempting to use her telepathic
powers to command him to follow her will.
<“You blond witch! You think you can order me around as you do my
brother?”> Laughed Reeve the Guyver Zoalord.
<“Reeve, what have you done?”> Asked a shocked Zeugma. She had hoped the
Guyver Zoalord was one of the new Zoalords she knew little of. Instead
the Guyver Zoalord was a person she knew well. Kron smiled at the idea
that it was his brother who was the Guyver Zoalord. He had taken real
power for himself, a true Black Fang! But the realisation did not last
long as his Gods took control over him.
<“You see my brother Zeugma. You see how they control him! They can’t do
that to me anymore!”>
Like Kron her eyes went blank as the Master Zoalord’s will was taken
over. Zeugma’s body glowed and a fire like aura surrounded her body. The
Guyver Zoalord sighed he knew what was coming but this was not something
he wanted. But he knew this was the price of getting the Guyver Unit he
already agreed to pay. In front of him Zeugma prepared her ultimate
attack. Behind her though blinded from him by normal sight but not the
Guyver head sensors was his brother who had a Unit Remover attached to
his arm. She flew at the him as fast as she could turning her body into
a living comet. The Guyver Zoalord did nothing and just waited for her.
He could sense the power from the leader of the Zoalords but has he
always thought nothing she could do would harm him now.
Zeugma crashed into the Guyver Zoalord with all of her power. A huge
explosion followed toppling trees for miles around and wiping out men
and zoanoids in the many towns scattered below the battle. Kron floated
just far enough away to be unhurt by Zeugma’s attack. Has the dust and
debris cleared Kron saw something that left the Gen who controlled him
in awe and shock. Their floated the Guyver Zoalord with Zeugma held by
the throat.
“At last I have you, you blond witch!” Zeugma didn’t answer but spat at
the Guyver Zoalords face. Guyver Zoalord squeezed napping her neck. Kron
now completely under the control of the Gen fired everything he had at
the Guyver Zoalord. But he shielded it all and with a simple flick of
his wrist he sent a power wave that deeply cut into the Zoalord’s chest
gravely wounding Kron and destroying the Remover on his arm that had
being pointed at the Guyver Zoalord.
Both Zoalords fell
to the ground at speed. But before their bodies hit the ground their
decent slowed as the Guyver Zoalord landed before them and landed them
safely as he could to the ground. His control medal and Zoalord crystal
glowed as a field of energy now surrounded their bodies. The Guyver
Zoalord walked up and knelt down beside his dying brother.
“They can’t control
you any more Kron.”
“Thank you Reeve...
I will die free...”
“You do more than
die free, know this brother, you do not die without leaving kin on this
world. Your most recent conquest Hera, she is pregnant with twins. I
will ensure your blood line rules when the false Gods are killed!”
“Seeing my
brother... A Black Fang take power from the heavens...” said Kron. But
he lost the battle for life before he could finish the sentence. The
Guyver Zoalord’s head was still slumped looking at the body of his
brother. As G’Kor warned him, he knew he’d have to take his life to end
the control of the so called Gods over his body. Now they could control
him no longer! The Guyver Zoalord turned towards Zeugma, he wondered if
he should incinerated the witch, but no he would not do that, even after
all she had done his brother still loved her. She’d serve one last
purpose. To be buried with him through the afterlife! Guyver Zoalord
then stood up and looked towards the East, moments later he took off
leaving them behind
Islands that one day will be named
Bermuda
Hpa’Edem like Solom
knew his fate was sealed. But unlike Solom he was never as trusting of
his fellow Gen or Zoa-from. Had setup stealth sensors in the lands
around his ship to alert of him of possible intruders. This one though
he knew he wouldn’t survive the Guyver Zoalord came for him next. Like
Solom his oldest friend he hoped that someday his daughter would finish
the work they had begun. The successful prototype was stored with
Solom’s Battle Unit and Hpa’Var’s Turbo Unit in the Genesis Relic. The
only thing left to was to hide the more important two test Units one of
which was a Warrior Unit prototype inside a Stealth Ship resting on one
of the islands to the south of this one. He smiled to himself that would
be the easier of the two to hide. With a simple command the Stealth Ship
activated, it’s mission to hide itself from anyone other than a member
of the Warrior Project. If any survived this event that deserved the
ship it would be them. The old test ship of his buried itself has the
Guyver Zoalord found Hpa’Edem’s ship. He expected the ship he was in
couldn’t hide from such a powerful being. He didn’t know if the others
would but he knew one thing, he wouldn’t be alive to find out. Moments
later there was an explosion as the Guyver Zoalord destroyed the
Hpa’Edem and the ship he was in.
Knossos – Floating City above Mount
Olympus
News of the death of
Hpa’Edem spread like wildfire. Another of the best of the Science Cast
had being suddenly killed by the Guyver Zoalord. Krullnar wondered if
anyone would survive? But what he knew was it was only a matter of time
before he would be next. The City’s transport system was still down
overburdened by panicking Gen looking for escape. Screaming shouting for
crowds of Gen to get out of his way took time. Then some hope arrived in
the form of Q-Nar viewed by some has the leader of the Council of the
13.
The effect of one of
the 13 arrival was instant. Order replaced chaos has he commanded his
people to calm down. The city’s teleport system under his command
blocked access to all other Gen opening it up to use. Bunkers in the
city a leftover design from Atlantis used to hide it’s people from
attacking army’s had being copied into to the design of Knossos. The
command went out for the Gen people to hide in these so that when the
army came they could fight more effectively for its people. Around him
people turned from the tower and headed to the bunkers. Krullnar though
stood still looking at the tower knowing inside there was the only real
hope for survival. He would not be following Q’Nar’s command.
<“Q’Nar I am the son
of Solom, you have to teleport me inside the Command Tower, I have a way
for our people to escape!”> Krullnar hoped his telepathic message would
somehow get through to him. He doubted it if a whole population of the
city was asking him for guidance. A few moments past and as he was about
to give up hope Krullnar was teleported into the Command Chamber of the
city.
The large island that will someday be
known as Iceland
Hpa’Var had guessed
he was next. He always believed there was an order to all things in
life. All creatures follow that order if they are Guyver or not. The
Guyver Zoalord had some sort of plan and it was obvious to him at this
stage that it was to destroy the Warrior Projects and their rivals.
Basically anything that could be of a challenge to the Guyver Zoalord.
He would be next before the main target which would be Solom. The
Zoalord would know the inner workings of the Gen after the hundreds of
years they had served. The Guyver Zoalord as such was their perfect
weapon of self destruction. Something the Gen were very good at
insuring. Unlike Hpa’Edem or Solom though he would not live on through
family for he had no children. He regretted that choice now but in the
end it was his to make. The only thing that represented his work and
existence in the Universe when he would be killed where his Prototype
Units. In that end he to insure that work survived!
The only surviving
completed Units he had left where the Supreme Unit the host his former
brother he now feared dead, the Turbo Unit was with Solom’s Battle Unit
in the Genesis Relic, that left two other completed Units. The first
Unit he made with the Stellar Technology combined with that of the
H.S.L. system developed by Solom. It was what he viewed his first
successful Unit. That Unit was contained in his former Laboratory almost
half the world away. With a simple command from him that ship buried
itself deep into the ground. That only left the ship he was in now. He
commanded the ship to teleport himself outside it. Then called out to
the Guyver Zoalord to tell him where he stood has the ship took off.
Moments later the Guyver Zoalord landed in front of him. Looking up in
the sky he could see the Stellar Ship as it cleared the Earth’s
atmosphere.
“Do you think I’m
not capable of going up there and taking your ship after I kill you?”
Hpa’Var did not
answer him for he did not know the answer himself. But he’d given his
life work a chance to escape. The Guyver Zoalord waited a few moments to
see if he would get a response. Realising he would not he shrugged his
shoulders and the Hpa’Var was obliterated.
Site of the Battle between Zeugma, Kron
and the Guyver Zoalord
Solufein had heard
of the battle too late from the Gods to have helped Zeugma. He landed
beside her fallen body and wondered even if he was there on time would
he had made a difference? Solufein wept at the sight of her fallen body.
He looked over at Kron and wondered “why even in death did she have to
still die beside him?” He looked over at Kron and back at Zeugma maybe
he might be able to save her?
Solufein reached
down to her and using everything he breathed life back into her.
Solufein used so much of himself he almost past out form the experience.
When he recovered he looked at Zeugma’s face to see her smiling back at
him.
“Solufein, I’ve
failed the Gods,” said Zeugma, she tried to move but was not able to and
he voice sounded very weak almost feeble.
“Don’t try to move
you are not fully healed.”
“Why should I be
saved? I failed them I deserve to die!”
“You tried your best
against impossible odds Clan Mother!”
“Solufein.. thank
you for rescuing me..” her voice was still weak. But hearing Solufein
use that term brought back bad memories of before Kron and her where
sent after the Guyver Zoalord. She remembered seeing the face of Aaye
her old childhood friend a woman she herself killed under the control of
the Gods. The Gods thought her dead without G’Kor blocking the memory
flash backs of her holding the dormant Supreme Unit and a remover on her
arm came back to her.
“I would do no less
for you,” said Solufein.
“There are two
things I must ask of you.”
“Say it and it shall
be done.”
“I need you to save
Kron, Reeve the Guyver Zoalord is his brother. If the Gods can control
him again they might be able to stop him.” said Zeugma. She knew it was
not an easy request for Solufein and that he did not have to do it
unlike other Zoalords. But he simply nodded and done as she asked.
Solufein was now very weak. The powers he used were very draining. For a
few moments it took all his concentration to simply stay awake. He could
quite easily find sleep but he had a task to do. He looked back at
Zeugma, Reeve had a lot to answer for.
“What is the other
task Clam Mother?”
“One of the Gods, I
don’t know who had me do something at Mount Guyver. I need you to find
out what happened in the Cave of the Portal.”
“Why is this
important now, there is a Guyver Zoalord out there who must be stopped?”
“The God had tried
to make me forget what had me do, you must find out what that was!”
Solufein simply
nodded. He was weak and he knew what he had done for Zeugma and Kron was
not enough to save them. They needed help that only the Gods could give.
He wondered why now he was along with the gift of being the Lost One and
being able to think for himself. He would still do what Zeugma asked and
she wanted to know what they had got her to do to heir tribe. Solufein
nodded then flew up into the sky and away from the two fallen Master
Zoalords.
Zeugma wondered how
long it would be before she died from her injury. Even with what
Solufein had done for them she would die without help from the Gods.
Then out of the rubble appeared something. Zeugma couldn’t figure it out
there was just something familiar to the being. She looked up as the man
came into view. It was like looking at a male version of herself!
Knossos – Floating City above Mount
Olympus
“Another one of the
Leaders of the Warrior Project is now dead Q’Nar! We have to act and act
now if we are to escape! If we don’t escape before the Guyver Zoalord
comes here and kills us all in the blink of an eyelid!”
“I can’t allow you
to do what you ask Krullnar. We need Seraph here if we are to have a
hope against the Guyver Zoalord!”
“Have you not
listened to me at all? We have NO HOPE AT ALL against him. No one,
nothing we have can save us. Nothing at all we have left can face the
Guyver Zoalord and live or even in its death kill such a monster. Not
even the combined power of Zeugma and Kron along with Seraph wouldn’t
have stood much of a better chance against the Guyver Zoalord. What hope
does Seraph have alone against him?!”
“Are you sure of
this?”
“I am one hundred
percent positive! A Guyver Zoalord is hundreds of times more powerful
than a Zoalord. It’s a super existence! The Uranus realised this and
tried to obliterate this world to kill the threat. They knew no one or
nothing in existence could match such a being and live and we in our
foolishness have allowed it to happen. Don’t you get it? We have allowed
what they tried to prevent!”
“But we had
safeguards, your father made them Krullnar! You’re part of the Warrior
Project, how is it possible?”
“It is not possible.
No Unit should bond with a Zoalord. The Limitation Device inside all our
Units would prevent it, there are only two possibilities for this to
have happened,” said Krullnar.
“And they are?”
“He someone found a
Unit of the Uranus, but how he got to the inside of one of their Relics
our found one without our knowing makes that impossible. That leaves the
only other possibility. We’ve being betrayed!”
“Who would do such a
thing?”
“I don’t know. But
if we won’t find out unless we live! We need to escape this world before
it’s too late,” said Krullnar pointing at Seraph. “She is our only hope
of escape, do not send her on a foolish mission against a being far
beyond her power alone.”
Seraph listened to
the two “Gods” argue. If she was simply human she would have seen
through all the madness to realise that these beings where not Gods.
They were very much like her that she knew. But her highly reprocessed
brain only recognised the fact they were Gods. Any doubt simply didn’t
register to her. All she recognised was that a God might have turned
against the other Gods and had made a Devil to walk the Earth to wage
war against them. She’d go off and fight such a being if asked without a
second thought.
“I agree. We need to
escape now and insure that our race survives and that we someday find
out who did this to us,” said Q’Nar. Krullnar simply nodded. Q’Nar
activated his Unit and walked up to the control spheres that managed the
city to begin what was needed for Krullnar’s plan to have any hope of
success.
Mount Guyver
Guyver 0 didn’t
understand what had happened. He had waited awhile to see if the
Zoalords would return but they had not. But he could sense the dormant
Guyver Supreme unit above him and that the Zoalords had not just left
the area but had not come back. As he back tracked through the tunnel he
had made he wondered why the Master Zoalords had left him alive.
Whatever reason it was they were gone now. Minutes later he was looking
through the wreckage in the cave cursing his luck and then to his
completed surprise out a no where appeared another Zoalord but this one
he did not recognise. He didn’t even have time to react before his flung
through the mountain. Solufein had arrived too late for the Tribes. The
destruction brought by the Guyver Zoalord was too much for him to bear,
the dead lied everywhere.
He wondered “what
had happened here,” as he picked up the dormant Supreme Unit and
attached the Unit Remover to his arm. The Control Medal glowed as it
would when sensing a host nearby to bond with then the control medal
flashed red and the Unit went inactive again. Solufein looked at the
device with curiosity wondering what would have happened to him if it
had in fact activated. Would he attack the Gods? No he was already
referred to as Guyver by some of the Gods. The term wasn’t about power,
it was about being Out of Control. He was like that, the Lost one.
Looking around at
the damage done, he could guess something of what had happened here.
Guyver 0 and Guyver Supreme had escaped from Atlantis earlier today.
Teams of Zoalords had being sent out after them. None of them could find
them and they were still missing according to the Gods. But in his hand
he held the dormant Supreme Unit and he had flung the Guyver 0 out of
the mountain. What did a God or Gods have Zeugma do here and how was it
connected to the two Guyvers? She clearly was not alone. But that could
not be answered here today. He could not stay here any longer. It was
time to meet his fate. Solufein left the cave and flew off after the
Guyver Zoalord.
A short distance
away Guyver Firnus, Hector and warriors of their tribes entered the
former site of the Tribe of the Form. They looked in awe of the
destruction brought to the area. It was like Pariah the former Guyver
had said, “The Guyver Zoalord had destroyed them all!”
Knossos – Floating City above Mount
Olympus
The city streets
where now deserted as the populace hid in the cambers below the streets.
Inside the Command Tower Q’Nar floated between the Control Sphere’s that
managed the City. Krullnar now in his bio-armoured form looked on as the
Gen leader focused on getting the City ready for transport.
“Krullnar!” shouted
Seraph. Krullnar almost jumped at the raise tone in her voice.
“Yes Seraph?”
“He’s coming here!”
Krullnar couldn’t
wait any longer for Q’Nar to ready the city. The control medal in his
head extended as he reached out with his mind. Seraph forever the
willing servant obliged giving him complete control over her. Together
they maximised all the power Seraph had as he body glowed and she pushed
herself to the limits of her power.
At the same time
many miles away the Guyver zoalord flew over Mount Guyver for the second
time just south of the City of Argus. “That would be his last target,”
he thought. He knew deep down that somehow G’Kor had sabotaged his Unit.
It would be the only way to control the uncontrollable! He was sure of
one thing, if the old clever “God” wanted him dead he would be and that
simply killing G’Kor wouldn’t be enough to insure his survival. G’Kor
had many allies, at least one of those allies allowed him have this
Unit. He wondered if killing G’Kor would be enough as well? He’d seen
Zero completely destroyed before and somehow the Gods brought him back
to life! Killing G’Kor could be an exercise in futility then.
Flying at amazing
speed Guyver Zoalord continued the plan. The “abominations” as G’Kor
called them lived here on Knossos.
Beings made by the human bodied Gods who welded their power. He
wanted them gone obliterated so that they would not pollute their race.
As the city came into view Guyver Zoalord thought he would duly obey the
wishes of the God the city would not just fall it would be completely
obliterated!
As he got closer to
the city he stopped and looked at it in wonder. The city had a slight
yellow glow around it. For a moment he thought that was part of whatever
it was that kept the city afloat in the air. But then he remembered
being here before and there was no yellow glow. What was causing....
“SEARPH!” Once he realised what it was he immediately opened his chest
plates. The air around him crackled with energy as he charged with
energy. Inside the city they knew what his arrival meant and a race
between attack and escape came to an end. Guyver Zoalords mega-smasher
fired and the beam raced towards the City. At the same moment the huge
city teleported from Earth the beam harmlessly passing by where it once
was. Guyver Zoalord roared in anger! “How dare they escape!” Guyver
Zoalord then flew to where the City once was. With his powerful sensors
he could not only sense the residue of where the city once was but where
they had gone. It was far away but after he was finished on Gaia he
would hunt them down!
Feral Island 100 miles south east of present day Malaysia
Solom was in his
armoured form now floating between the control spheres of the Origo the
first ship he grew as part of the expanding Warrior Project. He wasn’t
sure how Krullnar managed to do it but the ship sensed Knossos leave
just as the Guyver Zoalords mega-smasher blast was about to hit it. His
wife most likely already dead, his son safe he could now die at peace.
No! The Gen race needed what the Warrior Project team had developed. The
Genesis ship had already buried itself but the Warcraft is the fastest
ship ever developed. Solom teleported himself to the Warcraft leaving
behind the dormant 4th Warrior Unit Prototype in the Origo.
As he linked with the control system of the Warcraft the Origo buried
itself deep into the island. If the Guyver Zoalord came for him now he
would have a fight
The Warcaft’s
shields glowed yellow as it got ready to take off. Miles away and fact
closing in the Guyver Zoalord sensed the build up of energy and
increased his speed towards his final target. No sooner had the Warcraft
took off the Guyver Zoalord was attacking. The shields of the most
advanced Gen Warcraft ever grown were like nothing compared to the
enormously powerful arm beam sent by the Guyver Zoalord cutting deep
into the living ship. As liquid gushed out of the deeply wounded
Warcraft Solom could see though the ships sensors the Guyver Zoalord
looking at him. A shield formed around the dormant Warrior Unit as Solom
left the chamber and faced his fate. The Warcraft adapted quickly to the
wound and as Solom entered the chamber that had being cut open the ship
began to seal it off and Solom was standing now in the open air looking
out at the form of the Guyver Zoalord.
“So, are you going
to try to control me Solom?”
“What would be the
point of that Guyver?”
“Ha, ha, ha, you
know even with death looking at you in the face it’s good to see a so
called God that is not so frightened by me that he can’t even talk!”
“This is not the
first time I have faced death,” said Solom pointing at the Guyver
Zoalord. Guyver Zoalord was impressed but once again he knew he was
about to have another easy victory. The Warcraft could not match him.
“This time death
will have you, die well Solom!”
The Guyver Zoalord raised his hand and shot again at the warship with
his hand beam. The power of his armour magnified this blast beyond
levels Solom could even hope for the Warrior Unit and the warship
shields ounce again failed. Delivering another serious would to the War
Ship it now began to descend towards the ground. Standing on now solid
ship the blast rocked the whole vessel and sent Solom falling onto his
backside. Outside, the Guyver Zoalord sensed was about to fire again
when he was hit by multiple energy beam blasts. It was a research ship!
Show dare the puny false Gods send such a week craft against him!
Solom's knew this was his last chance for escape. The ship that had
attacked contained many Zoalords, he ordered every last one of the
Zoalords to leave the Ship and to attack the Guyver Zoalord. Immediately
a platoon of Zoalords exited the ship and fired at the Guyver Zoalord
drawing his attention from the Research Ship. Closing in on the battle
Solufein heard Solom’s call and joined his brother and sister Zoalords
against Reeve. The Guyver Zoalord noticed him among the Zoalords
awaiting his chance to strike with the Remover. Before Solufein knew it
he’d being blasted by a ray of power from the Guyver Zoalord. Already
weakened from trying to save the Clan Leaders he was too weak to attempt
to hide from it. As he fell towards the snow below he lost consciousness
and crashed thought a chunk of snow into the side of a mountain.
One by one the Guyver Zoalord killed them off like they where nothing
but as Solom expected it bought him time.
Solom knew the War Ship was too badly wounded to escape Gaia and with
some flashes of his control medal the only visible sign of his order. He
commanded the warship to bury itself deep underground and not to let the
Guyver Zoalord have command access to it. Solom then teleported into the
research ship and was about to order it to get as far away from Earth as
possible, when it was attacked by the Guyver Zoalord. The first shot
blasted through their shields but missed anything vital and the craft
continued on its way out of Earth’s atmosphere, but a second well-placed
shot from the Guyver Zoalord saw to that not happening. The research
ship started to dip from its upward course and scorched through Earth’s
atmosphere towards the icy cold ocean at the Northern Pole of the
planet. The Guyver Zoalord laughed, another false God dead!
Inside the Giant Clan Ship called the Argus on the other side of the
Earth the Council of 13, divided and without their leader Q’Nar debated
as the world around them fell apart. Draven one of its leaders looked in
dismay at the mental images of destruction that spread has the Guyver
Zoalord decimated the Warrior Project, the Eliminator Project and the
Nova Projects. Nothing stood could stand in its way he thought. How
though could a Zoalord get a Guyver unit? The safe guards should have
ensured that it never happened!
Deep within the Clan Ship of the Creators the only thought going through
most of the Council Leaders minds was “Who could save us now?” G’Kor
though looked forward to his ascension and to the death of those that
opposed him!
