Eternal
The year is 2008 and peace was brought about by The GGG, The Gutsy Geo-id Guard, Earth's last line of defense against the world's threats. Their defeat of the Zondarians, 31 Primevals of the Mechicanical World, Z Master, and 11 Planetary Masters of Sol. But that final battle left them stranded in the wormhole of an Escape (ES) Window. Using their last ES-missiles they sent the young alien boys Mamoru Amami and Kaido Ikumi back to Earth with the promise that they will make it home. However, the peace was not to last. BioNet, an evil organization dealing in many different fields of darkness including human mutations, rogue cyborg technology, murder, kidnapping, and other terrorist efforts, struck out on the world in the GGG's absence. The boys try to fight this threat under the flag of GGG but quickly are overwhelmed. To pick up the slack Scientific Progressive Corporation (SPC) is formed in America. Using alien technologies similar to GGG, SPC has turned the tide and has all but put BioNet out of business.
Chapter One
Deep in the condemned sector of Paris surrounding the Eiffel Tower automatic fire rings out in the night as the French military battles a group of BioNet troops. Tank shells strike armor with no damage taking, bullets deflected by psi-fields, and grenades batted back like baseballs. The military is slowly being pushed back as the attacked make their way toward the populated areas.
\#\This is Shadow Two to Shadow Leader. I'm in position and awaiting orders. Over\#\
\#\Copy that Shadow Two. Shadow Three and Four, status.\#\
\#\Co-ordinates reached and optimal positioning acquired for Shadow Four to null-Psi and my suppressive fire arcs. Over\#\
\#\Alright right guys, this is a standard op. Our objectives: First, secure soldiers safety by use of Dividing Driver Heavy Round and giving us a 999 second window. Second, annihilate BioNet threat consisting of: Two fully matured felo-mutants, Three and Four they're yours. One tank-buster heavy mechanoid, Two that's your target. I'll be taking out the assassin cyborg. Remember people, our operating window is sixteen minutes max. The signal to begin will be a flash-bang flare.\#\
The battle rages as the military begins to run out of options when a flare bursts over head blinding both sides momentarily and freeze just long enough for Shadow Three to launch the DDHR. Impacting between the two forces, the round stretches and squeezes dimensional space into fifty meter ring of empty space dragging the BioNet units in. Using the confusion Shadow Four nullifies the felo-mutants' psi-fields and Shadow Three promptly ceases their life functions with "suppressive fire". Shadow Two targets the mechanoid with a cluster-missile launcher and unleashes a hail of destruction down on the now unshielded unit obliterating it. The cyborg soldier watches as his force is decimated around him and doesn't notice Shadow Leader land behind him in bio-enhancing cyber armor, until he hears the tell tale sound of a sword being un-sheathed. Before he can react, he is halved from hip to shoulder is the first swing and decapitated in the follow up swing. Sheathing the sword, Shadow Leader grabs the head, activates the stealth flight pack, and jets of into the night with the rest of Shadow Team. The wings of the packs making the group look like a group of demons in the moon light.
Twelve hours later on the SPC carrier Dark Crystal high in the upper stratosphere, Shadow Team has been debriefed and is in stand-by status. On the research level Shadow Three sits on her up-link table going thru routine maintenance under the supervision of head researcher Professor Sara Tensai. As the attendants run the diagnostic, Prof. Tensai read over the personnel files of Shadow Team updating them as needed.
"Come to see how the SPC-TRM in doing Shadow Leader?"
"We're on stand-by, please use our names. And yes." He says stepping beside the professor.
"Well Nivek, Spectrum is operating well within set parameters."
"Excellent." Nivek begin to walk away but stop when Prof. Tensai places her hand on his shoulder.
"May we speak in my office?"
Nivek nods and follows her to her soundproof office.
"Why do you insist on wearing that trench coat?"
"I like it and it fits nicely over my armor." Nivek remarks looking at himself.
"The cut and style makes you look like a pirate." Tensai chuckles.
"Whatever that is."
"I would like to understand why you have requested Shadow Four to be permanently assigned to you unit. As commanding officer of Shadow Force it is my duty to remind you that girl is a former BioNet agent." Tensai says seriously.
"And I don't need to remind you that as the one who rescued her, I know that she was not there either by choice or long enough to be brainwashed to BioNet's way!" Nivek argues.
"You also know she is not fully matured like other felo-mutates, her powers are not fully developed." Tensai adds.
"I believe that all further "maturing" should be done in the environment and with the people she is comfortable. If Naomi were relocated she would not be treated with common respect because she was BioNet."
"I see you have put serious thought into this." Tensai states, "Alright, your request is hear by granted."
"Thank you. Naomi will glad to hear it, so will Yuki." Nivek states pleased.
"Ah yes! How is Miss Taiga doing?"
"As well as can be expected, considering her uncle is trapped in an EScape Window wormhole. Though for the last three hours she's been bugging me. Seems someone let it leak that I would be testing the ES generator on my ship. They're twice lucky. Once for me being able to dodge them in the wormhole and twice for my computer still have their interspatial coordinates when I crashed on this world."
"I've scheduled the test for three hours from now."
"I'll see you then…Doc." Nivek states as steps out the door.
Meanwhile on the exercise deck, Naomi and Yuki are engaged in an intense sparring session. Yuki's blond hair pulled back in a braided ponytail that reaches to her butt with a shuriken tied on at the end. Wielding wooden tonfa she lunges at Naomi aiming for the younger girls head and torso. Using her feline flexibility Naomi dodges both blows by bending back at an angle that would send most to a hospital. She follows thru by bringing her knees up against Yuki's ribs, send her reeling back. Holding her ribs, Yuki eyes the cat-girl with a little jealously. For all intensive purposes Naomi walks around naked. Her body is covered in velvety black fur contrasted only by the shoulder length locks of lime green hair on her head. Her feline features also include tiger like ears, big yellow cat eyes, fangs, a set of sharp claws, and a long tail swishing back and forth as she contemplates her next move from a crouched position. Yuki barely has time to brace as Naomi seemingly punches at the air and she is struck by the psi-wave and is sent sprawling to the other end of the sparring dojo a good fifteen feet away. Both girls prepare for another bout when the ship is suddenly and violently racked by external explosions.
/#/All personnel to battle stations, enemy super mechanoids on approach. Repeat! All personnel to battle stations, enemy super mechanoids on approach./#/
/#/Shadow Team, report to the launch bay. Repeat. Shadow Team, report to launch the bay./#/
The girls rush from the sparring room toward the elevators but only make it half way down the hall when the bulkhead erupts into fire and debris. As they pick themselves of the floor they look up the angled hole the in the ship at the damage raging thru six or seven decks and decide on taking the stairs. On the bridge Capt. Walter Biggs manages his vessel against this mistake on the enemy's part. A smirk creeps across his face as the super mechanoid comes into attack range again.
"They don't know who their dealing with. Bring main cannons to bear. Let's show BioNet their mistake in taking on a J-Ark class vessel. FIRE!"
As the enemy unit approaches all eight long barreled particle cannons track and fire on it. The super mechanoid takes a direct hit and is blasted in small bits. However the peaces gather and reform into another form. The particle cannons fire again, but to no affect. Two more units arrive and after pausing to assume the same form as the first, begin to attack. The Dark Crystal begins taking critical damage and list on the starboard side.
"What's the situation?" Prof. Tensai asks rushing onto the bridge.
"F.U.B.A.R. ma'am, we can't take to many more hits." Capt. Biggs answers.
"Sir, the launch bay reports the Stealth Mega Stryker is ready for launch." The com officer informs.
"Excellent! At least we can save that ship. They are ordered to launch immediately!" Biggs declares.
"Aye sir… Nivek is refusing the order."
"What? Why?" Tensai demands.
"He says he won't leave without you ma'am."
"Patch me in with the ships AI." Tensai orders.
"Aye, ma'am!"
/#/ How may I be of assistance professor?" a calm female voice asks.
"Shara, it is imperative that you launch right now!"
/#/By your command. Good-bye professor./#/
In the launch bay on the catapult is the dead of space black Stealth Mega Stryker, the ship Nivek Landed on Earth in. Roughly the size of three F-14s it utilizes a fold space matrix, making the interior particularly larger. Alarms and klaxons blare as the launch sequence is initiated. The safety locks release as the blast wall raises and the five large slotted thrusters power up.
"Shara, stand down now! I refuse to leave with out her!" Nivek yells at the AI.
/#/Naomi and Yuki are safely strapped in and Spectrum in secure in her maintenance pod. All systems are online./#/
"Don't ignore me. I won't leave Sara to die!"
/#/Firing catapult./#/
Before Nivek can stop her Shara launches them into the night. The Stealth Mega Stryker blasts away a full after burn. The three super mechanoids focus their main energy beams in one point in the sky creating a concentrated beam that lances the carrier in twine from stem to stern. Nivek places his hands onto the control orbs but just before he can reverse course the sky is lit up by the Dark Crystal's destruction. A single tear runs down Nivek's face.
"Shara, you said ALL systems are online correct?" he asks with absolutely no emotion in his voice.
/#/Affirmative./#/
"Activate ES drive and synchronize with the interspatial coordinates on file. Get me to that ship!"
/#/By your command./#/
The ship glows purple and launches an energy sphere ahead of itself that erupts into the swirling vortex on an ES window. The engines give a quick burst as they enter and leave the Earth behind. Seven hours later Nivek is awoken in the pilot's seat by Shara informing him that the coordinates have been reached and the sight of the J-Ark before him.
