Hidden Underground Cavern
His life was flashing before his eyes. Koujin looked around and noticed he was falling really fast and figured he'd better do something quick or he was a goner. Remembering some of the martial arts moves his grandfather had taught him Koujin began repelling himself against the smooth rocky walls of the underground hole that he was falling through. After a few quick moves, and even quicker reactions to the changing surface of the walls, Koujin landed on the cavern floor with just enough force that his knees buckled right from under him which made him fall flat on his back causing him to hit his head on the ground hard enough that he fell unconscious for a short time.
About an hour later Koujin began to stir and the first thing he did was rub the back of his considering that that hit had ended up giving him a headache. He also made sure he had no broken bones and checked the back of his head for any sign of blood. After checking himself over for about 10 minutes he finally tried standing up. His first attempt was a failure which resulted in him falling flat on his butt. His next attempt was successful, even if his legs were still wobbly from the impact of the landing. After taking a few moments to survey his surroundings he noticed that the cavern was actually illuminated with an eerie blue glow. He then noticed the direction of where the glow was coming from. His curiosity, once again getting the better of him, compelled him to move towards the illuminated tunnel.
"This is going to be one hell of a day. I just hope I can get out of here before nightfall," Koujin thought as he began his hike down the tunnel.
Chronos Dig Site
Shiori returned to the dig site empty handed but with satisfaction in her heart. She at least had gotten a quick glimpse of the person she loved most in the world. She just hoped he was somewhere safe and out of danger. As she made her way to the tent she deactivated her Guyver armor and no sooner had she reached the outside of the tent was she then confronted by the soldiers and scientists of the dig site.
"Well, what happened? Where is the prisoner?!" asked Dr. Vealo.
"He got away. By the time I was able to reach his last reported position I was no longer able to sense his presence. I'm sorry," Shiori explained to Dr. Vealo. In actuality, she had taken her time chasing after him as she wanted him to escape.
Dr. Vealo frowned and furrowed his brow, "Well, for both your sake and your little sisters', you'd better hope that he either fell of a steep ledge and died or is considering on keeping his mouth shut if he knows what's good for him."
Shiori's heart filled with rage making her want to snap the neck of this Chronos scientist but she kept her composer and made her own little proclamation.
"I know Koujin. He wouldn't do anything stupid. He's too cautious about these sorts of things. If you were able to scare him enough then he'll keep quiet," she snapped at the doctor which angered him greatly. "How dare she talk to me in that tone of voice? Me! One of the greatest scientific minds in Chronos and one of three direct assistants to Dr. Barcus," Dr. Vealo thought. What the others didn't know was that Shiori had just made a lie about Koujin. He was, in fact, almost the opposite of what she described him as. True, he was very cautious about some things but he did tend to get a bit reckless in situations where a loved one was involved. That and he wasn't an easy person to scare. She just hoped that Koujin was still the way she remembered him.
After another 5 minutes of discussion the dig team got back to work on widening the hidden cave entrance. If Shiori were to use here megasmasher she could easily break through but that could destroy what is hidden on the other side of the many upon many layers of rock, clay, and occasional fossils. Unbeknownst to the dig team, someone else was paying close attention to the activity within the site. A man who looked to be in his late 20's was peering through the scope of a sniper rifle watching everything that was going on. He wore a black leather jacket that had an emblem emblazed on the front left jacket pocket. The emblem was that of a thunder bolt striking the name Zeus. After watching everything from the moment the dig started up to the point of that kid's escape the man decided to contact his superiors. Reaching for a long range radio, the man switched it to the appropriate frequency then activated the signal jammer so his transmission could not be picked up by Chronos.
"This is Stealth Eagle calling Empty Nest, come in Empty Nest," the man called over into the device.
"This is Empty Nest, go ahead Stealth Eagle," a voice replied back.
"It seems we may have a situation here."
"What's the situation?" asked the voice. As the person behind the table in the Zeus' Thunderbolt HQ was talking to the man on the other end a young man probably no older the 19 appeared behind him. He seemed interested in the conversation being held.
"What's going on Hutchenson?" the young man asked the man behind the table.
"It seems Stealth Eagle may have found a hot spot sir," Hutchenson replied.
"Give me the head set. I want to talk with Stealth Eagle," the young man ordered.
"Sir!" Hutchinson replied as handed over the headset to the young man.
"Stealth Eagle, this is Makishima. What's your status?" Makishima asked the man on the other end.
"Sir. It seems that Chronos is digging up something here in the Rocky Mountain area. They seem to have discovered a small hidden cave entrance but appear to be having trouble getting through. I report no use of bio-lasers, dynamite, or any other explosives," the man replied.
"Is there anything else that you find significant enough to go along with this report?" Makishima asked.
"Yes sir. There are two other things to report. First, it appears that some Chronos soldiers took a young man they found on the other side of the mountain captive but he escaped around an hour later. He created quite the uproar as whoever seems to be the lead scientist of this expedition ordered a female Guyver, primarily white in colour, to give chase. Weird thing is she acted like she didn't really want to go after the guy. She returned a while later without the young man. I presume him to either be dead or he somehow managed to evade recapture," the man replied.
"Stealth Eagle, you reported that you saw the white female Guyver there?" Makishima questioned his subordinate quickly with concern in his voice.
"Yes sir. She's the second part of the report. It appears that the scientists are using her to help with the dig but I have seen nor detected any signs of explosions which can be caused by either megasmasher or pressure cannon fire," the man replied.
This part of the report confirmed Agito's fears as he realized that if a Guyver was there to help with a dig expedition then that could only mean one thing. A Relic and even worse, more Guyver units that would fall into the hands of Chronos. He would be damned if he'd let that happen. If anyone was going to control a Relic it would be him. He had seen the power of the Relic displayed before and also saw that they had the ability to create armor upgrades for Guyvers. If anything, he would use that Relics' navi-spheres to either create an even more powerful Gigantic upgrade or use them to gain access to the knowledge and technology of the Creators.
"Listen up Stealth Eagle. Hold your position. I'll be there with back up within the hour. Do not give away your location no matter what. No playing hero on us while we prepare. You got that?" Agito commanded.
"Yes Sir! Stealth Eagle, over and out," the man replied.
With that said Agito ordered for Hutchenson to go and assemble his 20 best men for the upcoming mission. After that he sent Fukamachi a quick mental message letting him know what was about to take place and that he would be using the Gigantic for the time being. Sho gave Agito a positive reply which gave Agito a sense of victory as he would soon take complete control over the power of the Gigantic one day and would no longer have to ask that Fukamachi for his permission.
Underground Cavern
Koujin had been walking through the illuminated tunnel for nearly an hour when he suddenly noticed that the light in the tunnel was getting much brighter. "I must be getting really close to the source," he thought and decided he had to pick up pace. After another five minutes of walking, he came to the end of the tunnel which led to a large, shallow pool of water which seemed to be the source of the bluish glow. I his mind, pools of water didn't glow that brightly, they shouldn't even be glowing at all. Giving into his curiosity he decided to inspect the pool of water.
As Koujin kneeled down and looked into the shallow pool he noticed how crystal clear the water looked. He could see all the way down to the bottom of the pool. He then noticed, on the bottom of pool floor, a crystal the size of three footballs embedded into the rock. It was the crystal that had been giving off the eerie blue glow which extended all the way through the cave. Koujin then looked up and noticed smaller, yet similar, crystals lining the cave walls which explained the illuminate tunnel. "That's pretty cool. Makes me wish we had this kind of lighting for the cabin during a black out," he thought to himself as he examined the wall so more. He then noticed upon further examination that a huge weird looking rock formation was extending from the farthest wall all the way to the edge of the pool. It looked strange and somewhat alien in design.
Koujin decided to inspect the rock formation and the moment he touched it he felt a sense of nothingness. To him, it was as if that rock had been alive at one point but then perished centuries ago. With the aid of the light emanating from the crystal in the pool, Koujin noticed a huge gash in the rock wall. He moved over to the gash and cautiously peered inside. It was completely hollow. He also noticed that the gash was wide enough for him to walk through. Again with his stubborn curious streak getting the better of him, Koujin decided to go into the wall of what he thought was a hidden passage. As he walked through he noticed that some of those crystals from the previous area of the cave also adorned the walls of this area as well. It didn't bother him much as it made it easier to see where he was going. He walked around inside the wall for over half-n-hour when he realized that this hidden passage was much larger than he could have ever imagined.
After looking up to the ceiling and all around the walls, Koujin was suddenly hit with a big does of reality. "This rock formation, this…thing….is practically making up this one whole part of the mountain," Koujin said out loud out of shock and disbelief. He was so shocked he almost didn't notice the low hanging stalactite in time to dodge around it. He barely missed hitting the stalactite but lost his footing and fell down hard against one of the walls in the cave room. To Koujins surprise, the wall gave way to his weight, revealing, yet, another secret room within the cave. He got up slowly rubbing his lower back mumbling curses under his breathe. As he got up he noticed that there was a small, pillar-like stand in the middle of the room. He walked over to the pillar and noticed that there was a strange object resting on top of the pillar. Koujin picked up the object and noticed it had a small, ball-like, metal object in the center of it. While looking at the alien-looking object his eye caught a type of movement with the object. Upon further examination he saw what he thought looked like tendrils or veins of some sort wrapped up tightly and contained in a weird casing.
Koujin kept moving his hands around the object and eventually rubbed his hand over the small metal piece in its center. Without even realizing what he had just done the small metal center began to glow in rapid flashes. He noticed what seemed to be a type of circular ring from which the glow was emanating from. Then without warning the object burst outward from his hands and the weird casing flew of the inner, organic material. The outer casing fell to the floor and almost instantaneously began to disintegrate. The material which was inside the casing then took on a life of its own and suddenly lashed out at Koujin. Before he could even react the creature had wrapped itself around his body and started doing something to him which made him scream out in sheer agony. He couldn't breath. This thing….this…creature…was molding itself onto him, seeping through ever poor, orifice, and any other opening it could find. Then, for some strange reason, Koujin felt himself getting stronger. Then all of a sudden, his brain sent a sudden burst of pain throughout his entire body which made him fall to his knees holding his head in his hands. It felt as if something was going through his skull and connecting itself with his brain. The pain became unbearable and after 3 minutes of intense pain, Koujin passed out on the cave floor.
Rocky Mountains
Jagged out crops
The man that had been watching the dig continue for over an hour when all of a sudden he felt the air go cold around him. He looked up in the sky and noticed the chrysalis fall down and land near his location. He also noticed lines tied to it which in turn were attached to 20 members of Zeus' Thunderbolt. The men landed safely near the chrysalis and after a moment the chrysalis opened up and Gigantic Dark emerged and walked over to his subordinate.
"Report," Gigantic Dark commanded.
"Sir! The Chronos dig team has made very little progression since my last contact back with HQ. They appear to be getting quite agitated with the progress that they're making so far. Also, I haven't seen hide nor hair of the female Guyver anywhere sir," the man reported back.
"Very good soldier," Gigantic Dark told the man. He then turned around and faced the 20 men that had accompanied him. "Alright people, listen up! We have a team of both Chronos soldiers and scientists down there as well as a Guyver. Guyver 1 and I have both faced this female Guyver before and we have estimated her basic physical strength to be around 3x's more than a normal Guyver. She has also displayed a power up function which gives all of her abilities an enormous boost in power. When she uses this power burst her strength then becomes 5x' that or a normal Guyver. The down side to this is that she can only maintain this kind of power burst for no more than 5 minutes from which she then tires out and becomes vulnerable."
His men were hanging on every word he was saying as they knew this information would be the determining factor in the upcoming battle. "You are all equipped with high-output Zoanoid buster rifles. They are loaded with ammo which have the ability to pierce even the hide of a Derzerb-type Hyper Zoanoid. When dealing with the Zoanoids try to maintain a safe distance and do not let them get close to you. Don't take a Zoanoid on by yourself. Work as a team. If the female Guyver appears do not, I repeat, DO NOT engage. I will handle her myself if she appears," Gigantic Dark finished as he turned around to look at the man that had informed them of what had been going on.
"Someone giver Carson here some gear. Carson, your coming as well. The more numbers we have, the better our chances of victory," Gigantic Dark commanded.
Everyone replied with a "Yes Sir!" One of the soldiers handed some ammo, a rifle, and a protective vest to Carson who happily accepted the item. Soon they would head out and eliminate the Chronos dig team. But before Agito could give the signal to head out, he felt something that he hadn't felt in a while. It was a control medal signal. A control medal was signaling the activation of a new Guyver. He was sure that if he could sense this signal then so would the female Guyver. "Shit! Chronos must have found a new Guyver unit and activated it. With that in mind he gave his men the order to move out.
Chronos Dig Site
Feeling the strange sensation coming over her, Shiori rose to her feet quickly and went outside the tent with a look of confusion on her face. "What's this feeling? It's as if something is calling out to me……telling me that it is alive and that…..it-," before she could finish her thought an explosion sounded down by the cave entrance and when she turned around she saw around 20 or more people raiding the dig site and firing everything they had at the Zoanoids. Then she saw something that sent shivers down her spine. It was a Guyver but it was almost 11 ft tall. "This must be one of those Gigantic Guyver's I've been hearing about," she thought. Just then one of the men attacking the soldiers looked over at her and shouted towards Gigantic Dark.
"SIR! That young girl there, she's that white female Guyver we've been hearing about!" shouted Carson as he shot his rifle at a Gregoles' head, blowing clean off. Agito looked at her then began moving towards her direction. Afraid, she was afraid. Shiori hadn't felt this kind of fear since the last time she ran into a Zoalord and got on its bad side.
"So, you're the female Guyver that's been causing me so much trouble? You're the one who's been killing my men every chance you get? Well, sorry about this, but it ends here kid. Time to die!" Agito shouted through his unit in a metallic sounding voice. But before he could charge her she screamed out "GUUUYYYYVVVEEERRRRR!!" Her body was covered in a blast field that sent out pulses of quantum energy. The pulses knocked out all electronic devices which, for Agito's men, ruined all the automatic targeting useless and cut the power of their high-powered buster rifles in half. As for Chronos, due to Shiori's distraught mental state when she transformed, the quantum surge was much more powerful than usual and ended up destroying all their equipment and erasing all the data they had saved on the dig so far. The blast field then lashed out in a type of death throw and created an explosion that made a crater nearly 3 ft deep.
After the blast field dissipated, Shiori's face vents expelled all unwanted waste material. Her body was now fully covered in her familiar looking white armor. Her eyes glowed a deep blue and her control medal shined signaling to her that the transformation was now complete. She knew she was going to be in the worst fight of life to date. She had heard that these Giant Guyvers were somewhere near 25x' stronger than a standard Guyver. At her best her maximum was at most 5x'. Then she remember that even though they were big and powerful…and fast, they aren't as flexible or nimble as a standard Guyver. She would have to try to use this to here advantage. If she could out maneuver this huge Guyver and get him to slip up, even for just a moment, she could claim victory.
Inside the Relic
It had been nearly an hour since Koujin passed out. When he finally came too he was standing near another shallow pool of water in a somewhat bigger room he hadn't visited yet. He looked down at the water and saw his reflection. What he saw scared him. Where his human body had once been, there was now a strange, alien looking being. Then he noticed the silver medal on his forehead. Upon seeing that his head was flooded with images from TV reports of beings who's bodies looked somewhat similar to his. Then he remembered that white Guyver that was back in that Chronos camp where the dig was taking place. Then it dawned on him, white female Guyver at the dig site, images on TV about an alien vanguard that were called Guyvers, "I'm…..a…..a….a Guyver?!" He asked himself out loud.
As if responding to his question, two small metal orbs, no bigger than a soccer ball, began to glow from the other side of the pool. He immediately walked over to them and picked them up. Within a few seconds after picking them up the two navi-spheres began to glow even brighter and as did his own control medal. A moment later, the two navi-spheres made a connection of light to his control medal and began downloading information. Koujin could see images of the Earths' past, images of the Creators, Zoanoids, Zoalords, and….a Guyver. He saw what had happened. He saw the experiments that the Creators conducted on a couple of dormant units turning them into Quantum units. Proto-type units that were meant for harnessing the uncontrollable forces of the high level quantum surges. Then he realized it, these sphere were giving all the information he contained. They were educating him on his planets past and all the way up until that this ship, this…Relic, pulsated its last amount of energy and faded away, becoming fossilized around 1 million years ago.
After a few minutes the connection terminated. The navi-spheres then lifted into the air and began encircling Koujin. Koujin finally understood everything. What the Creators tried to create, why they tried to destroy those very creations, and why Chronos must be stopped. Most of all, he finally understood what Shiori was trying to tell him in that letter four years ago. A moment later Koujin was enveloped in a flash of light and disappeared. The next thing Koujin saw after the flash of light was the lake by his grandfathers' cabin. The navi-spheres had teleported him back home. Then they reappeared before him and made one final connection, informing him that they would remain forever near him to assist him in long distance teleportation, and eventually help him tap into his true potential and help him gain even greater power.
The navi-sphere then appeared to merge together then the simply faded away into the boost dimension, awaiting for their new master to summon them once again. Koujin was in awe with his new gift. He even learned from the navi-spheres what his armor was capable of and the weapons it possessed. Just then his hyper sensors alerted him to a presence behind him. He immediately turned around and came face to face with someone he recognized from his old high school. All of a sudden the person transformed into a Powered Zerebebuth-type Hyper Zoanoid and charged at Koujin. Out of self preservation, the control medal activated it's quantum blast field and sent the Hyper Zoanoid flying across the landscape for a good 300 ft. It then informed Koujin on what to do in this type of situation seeing as he's an inexperienced host. Koujin cupped his hands together then focused the units dimensional coupler abilities into his gravity globe creating a powered up pressure cannon. To add an extra bit of force he then added some of the quantum energy that he was starting to gather from some unknown source.
The pressure cannon glowed brightly. So bright it started to make it look like early afternoon considering it was actually dusk outside. The Hyper Zoanoid started to get back up on its feet but was unprepared and unable to dodge the incoming attack. The moment the Zoanoid started standing Koujin blasted the Quantum Cannon straight at it. The blast hit with such force that it literally blew apart the creatures upper torso and head, leaving the lower half of its body and it arms to fall to the ground. A few seconds later the dead Zoanoids' body began to disintegrate. Koujin stood in place, in complete shock that he didn't pay attention to his hyper sensors telling him that there were people behind him. When he finally noticed he turned around to see both his parents, his grandfather, his sister and, unexpectedly, his old friend Collin. He froze. He was unable to let out a sound when he heard Collin speak.
"A Guyver."
"You mean those aliens we see on TV," Saki asked.
"No. A Guyver is a human that is combined with an alien bio-weapon. The human thus becomes a living weapon. I should know I recently became a Guyver a couple of years ago and have been in hiding ever since," Collin told them.
"Then what are you doing here then Collin?" Koujins' grandfather asked.
"I heard that Chronos may have discovered an ancient Relic ship left behind by the Creators. I was going to go there and try and keep them away from it but they had that white female Guyver there with them so I stayed put for a while. If I remember correctly, she's called the Quantum Guyver." Then Collin look at the Guyver standing before and nearly fall backwards. "Hey, wait a minute. I've seen that female Guyver and this Guyver has almost the same type of armor patterns that she does….with the exception of a different face design and it seems he has some kind of red and blue orbs located on his chest plate. They probably must enhance this units megasmasher power output."
Koujin looked on in shock. His oldest friend had also become a Guyver but he never told him about it. That explains why he lost track of Collin. As if to scare him even more, Collin begins to approach him.
"Hey, are you a Quantum Guyver? Do you have a name? Are you a member of Chronos?" All these questions made Koujin feel a little dizzy and before he knew it, the armor retracted and release, allowing him to fall to the ground unconscious. The armor then vanished into the boost dimension, awaiting the time when it would be summoned again. Everyone was shock to see who was wearing that armor. The moment Koujin hit the ground everyone ran to him in concern.
When Koujin awoke, his head was laying in his sisters' lap. He looked up at her and saw that she had tears in her eyes. "S…Sa…..Saki?" Koujin asked gently while coming back into consciousness.
"Big brother!" Saki said with a big smile on here face and tears rolling down her cheeks. "You're alright. We were all really worried about you."
Koujin sat up and looked around at his family and friends looking at him in amazement at his quick recovery. "How long was I out?" Koujin asked with a bit of worry on his face.
"For about 20 minutes…25 tops," Collin replied.
Just then, Koujin felt a cry of pain surge through his mind; but it wasn't his pain he was feeling. It was the female Guyver. She was crying in pain. He felt her in the back of his mind. It was if she was crying out to him. Then he saw something in his minds eyes. It was what she was seeing that moment. What he saw was a giant black Guyver standing over her battered body, laughing. He could tell she was begging for help from someone. The he realized she was begging for help from anyone who could possibly hear her calls. He remembered that when he escape the Chronos dig site that they sent her after him. Though from what he could tell she didn't want to chase him. She even lagged behind, as if trying to tell him that he needed to escape. Koujin opened his eyes and looked up at Collin. He didn't need to say anything as his friend could easily tell what he wanted to do.
"Hey, she sort of helped you out in her won way. We should at least return the favor," Collin suggested.
"Thanks Collin."
"No problem bro. You know that I always got your back. Oh, before we go. We should probably give you a code name. Chronos doesn't seem to know who you are yet and I think it's better that way."
"That's a good idea. What's yours?"
"I call myself 'Astral Guyver.' I have the ability to create multiple images of my self and I can even invade my opponents mind for a moment, but only if their will is weak enough. I can also camouflage myself and blend in with my surrounds. I've also recently learned how to channel my energy into an external force and use it as an extra weapon along side my basic Guyver Weapons."
"Let me think then. I'm what you call a Quantum Guyver."
"Yeah, but there now seems to be two of you considering that the female Guyver we're about to go rescue is also a Quantum Guyver. Hey, that's it. Her armor is white while yours is black so we'll call you the 'Dark Quantum Guyver.' How does that sound?"
"Sounds long. We can use it as my official code name but maybe a nickname would help as well……..wait! I got the perfect one. Just call me Yami. You know, Japanese for dark, darkness, etc…"
"Sounds good Koujin. Well lets get going."
With that said they both summoned their Guyver units; Koujin after Collin as he didn't know how to summon his yet. Once both Guyvers' were ready to go they flew off into the direction of the dig site. If only they could realize that they were about to be in for one hell of a fight.
to be continued….
