The Hyperforce sat in the
living/conference room, totally silent and unsure about what had
happened. Jin May folded her arms and sighed...
"Why did he do
this?"
"I don't know..."
Sarah had joined them, sitting
in silence as thoughts flew across the room...
"What did he
mean, Cyclone has returned to the Pit?"
Everyone looked at Sarah
questioningly, she looked up...
"Just a thought..."
Silence
followed, before Chiro mused...
"He doesn't mean...The Pit of
Doom, does he?"
Sparks scratched his chin...
"Is there any
other?"
Chiro stood up...
"Then that's where we head
first, we've got to get our friend back..."
"Right!"
Kayos landed inside the Pit and
screeched as the markings burnt a charred black outline along their
edges...
"Must...separate..."
The single body split
in half, two entirely different bodies being created at the same
time. One was a burnt black, taking the shape of a young female
teenager. The other retained Cyclones previous body, except it was
burning brightly in the dark pit. The two caught each others gaze,
both surprised at the other...
"Who're you?"
The burning
creature looked at its body, the flames twisted into hand
shapes...
Cyclone...
"That's not true, I'm
Cyclone!"
Incorrect, there is only one Cyclone!
Silence
moved over the duo, before the burning creature made a
suggestion...
Perhaps we are both decedents to the same
person...
"You could be right..."
If we are to
become one being again, we must learn about ourselves
further...
"Sounds like a plan..."
Due to knowledge
of my body, I shall be called 66...
The 'girl' looked
confused...
"Why 23?"
23 responded by turning into a body
of water, then ice and back to fire...
It describes a powerful
entity. What is your name?
The 'girl' thought for a while,
afterwards she settled on...
"13..."
Why Thirteen?
"Not
the word, the number. I think that it best describes me..."
23
shifted between bodies and found seven possibilities he could use, 13
only found six but they were different than what 23 could offer.
Suddenly the sound of engines filled the air around them; the ground
shook beneath their feet.
"Get ready for
anything; we don't know this guy's true strength..."
The
Hyperforce walked through the dust filled plains, huddled into one
group as the sand whirled round them...
"I can't see!"
"Cover
your eyes...!"
The wind suddenly dropped, 13 and 23 stood next
to some ruins that had mysteriously appeared...
Greetings
Hyperforce, I am 23...
"And I'm 13..."
Otto spoke
up...
"Where did you come from?"
The question is, who
did we come from...
13 and 23 merged together, Kayos spoke
next...
And here is your answer...
He bombarded the
ground with black fire, the earth shook over the whole
planet...
"Cyclone! Catch!"
Kayos turned as a pillar thrown
by Sarah impaled his chest, splitting up into two beings again as he
hit the ground...
That didn't work, 13 I suggest that you
take four and I shall take four...
"Right!"
13 came
face to face with Sarah, Jin May, Sparks and Gibson. 23 came against
Chiro, Ataruni, Nova and Otto. 13 grinned like a Cheshire cat as she
nimbly dodged laser blasts, flipping and spinning through the
air...
"You couldn't hit a legless dog!"
She landed on
the soft sand; she wore black shorts with a long side skirt,
emblazoned with mystic symbols. A black sleeveless shirt covered the
top of her body, her eyes were a crimson red and spiked black hair
ran down her back, the top part covered by a preacher hat. She found
the power she was looking for, and let it loose...
"Hey!"
"What
the?!"
All except Chiro and 23 hung in the air, 13
grinned...
"Magnetism if you're wondering, meaning that I can
do this..."
She flicked her fingers downwards; they collapsed to
the floor in a heap...
"And this..."
She flicked sideways,
the heap scraped along the floor. 13 giggled as Sparks spat sand out
of his mouth, she suddenly stopped. Sarah punched 13 in the back of
her head, eyes blanked out as she crumpled forwards...
13!
23
ran to help his fallen friend, Chiro blocked his way...
Move!
She is hurt!
"No..."
23 exploded into flames, he
launched at Chiro with arms flailing wildly. Sarah extended her arm
so it punched him in the face, he landed with a grunt...
"Hyperforce,
we're moving out!"
Otto and Sparks hoisted 13 onto the Super
Robot, moments later...they left...
No! 13!
23 ran
underneath the Robot, trying to find a place to grab
hold...
"Defensive manoeuvres!"
The robot split into six
different modes of transport, the torso had become a tank and
repeatedly fired upon 23...
Give her ba...!
A shot
caught the ground underneath him, sending him toppling onto the
sand...
13! No!
The Hyperforce tore ahead, leaving a
mentally broken 23 in their wake...
Sorry if I
make the Hyperforce look bad there, but I was stuck for a while!
Just
got the Bug, lucky me...
The Pit of Doom isn't the one I
referenced, you'll have to wait for the REAL Pit...
Until
then!
Neophiles the Metal, needs Vitamin C now...
