2 - Human and Mechanoid, One in the Same
"Have you forgotten, Mamoru? Victory goes to those with courage!!" - Guy Shishioh
It wasn't long before Cainto was clad in armor of the same gold as the helmet Mamoru had given him. He had on golden chest armor that was made out to shape to a young, lightly toned body, which was connected to two shoulder guards. On his forearm to the top of his left hand was a guard, and on his left hand was a black glove instead of his normal white, to match the black of his jumpsuit that was on his arms. He had on a golden belt and golden boots, the boots being made of armor, doubling as ankle guards. They had told Cainto to take off the glove on his right hand, revealing the green 'G' symbol, which continued to glow brightly along with the mechanoid's eyes, though his own eyes had stopped glowing, reverting back to their own golden-yellow color, which also matched his armor.
Mamoru approached Cainto once he was fully suited up, touching his shoulder and looking at him with proud eyes. "It's time, Cainto. You ready?" He asked the boy, saying it in a sarcastically doubtful tone. Cainto pushed the Captain away, as to tell him 'Of course I am, stop messing around'. Mamoru nodded to the boy and then nodded to Kaidou, who walked over to the rest of the Cainto Test Team. Mamoru led Cainto over to the front of the mechanoid, looking up at it with great pride. "Since you were born, me, Kaidou, and the whole rest of the team have worked during night hours to build this guy here," Mamoru looked back down at Cainto with the same pride as he had been looking at the mechanoid with. "We've made him just for you. You're both our pride and joy," He ruffled up the boy's hair one last time, laughing as he did so. "Show us what you two are made of."
Nodding, Cainto turned his back to the mechanoid. He felt a rush of something he had never felt before; maybe he was nervous, but he wasn't sure at all. All of these people had been watching him all of these years, nearly every day of his life since he was seven years-old. He shouldn't be feeling reluctant or nervous at all, so it couldn't be anything like that. It was such a surreal feeling, and it made his whole body shiver; however, it all shattered and his complete consciousness came back to him when he heard a female voice scream for him to begin. He had been trying to discover what the strange feeling was, and was so completely absorbed into that that he couldn't clarify who had shouted out, but he knew that this was his time; no, their time.
Gathering himself up, Cainto extended both of his arms up and out to his side, just how Mamoru had showed him. He could feel adrenaline pumping through his veins now, along with his boiling blood. It was so much for him that he almost hesitated. "F-FUSION!!" It seemed like the adrenaline was moving his body by itself now; all of a sudden, he was in the air, higher than he ever thought he could jump. When he looked down and saw the mechanoid's paw-like feet a ways below him, he realized he must have been near its head.
Suddenly, he was grabbed from behind by some sort of unseen force, and began levitating backwards, towards the mechanoid. Before he knew it, he was inside of its robotic mouth, and his arms began to fuse with its wiring, as well as his legs. "So, that's why they had to test my sync-rate with machines!" Cainto realized, smiling as the mechanoid's mouth closed. He was sitting down, because his back had also, at some time, assimilated with the mechanoid's innards, but it felt as though he was kneeling on all fours. All of a sudden, he felt sick to his stomach, though it didn't make him feel bad, it cleared out the strange feeling he was having earlier.
Outside of the mechanoid, the team, along with Mamoru and Kaidou, watched on in amazement as the mechanoid stood up from its previous position. The claws on its back legs swung backwards, and human-like feet shot out from the front. The head of the mechanoid slid down and turned forward, the front legs sliding down a little more, a bit above where the head had slid down. The claws on the front legs swung backwards as well, human-like hands shooting out of the bottom. Above the previous head of the mechanoid, another, smaller head shot out, this one resembling a human face. There was one green jewel slated in the middle of the face above the eyes, and it was already glowing brightly.
Inside, Cainto could still feel his body's adrenaline pumping, though he was no in control of it, and it gave him a slight feeling of nirvana. He had felt the whole transformation of the mechanoid, and it seemed a lot more like he was standing normally. Suddenly, his vision changed from that of the inside of the machine's mouth to the outside. Cainto didn't know how this had happened, and he didn't care. He loved the shocked faces of the whole crew, amazed at what he could do. He himself was amazed, because he had never thought he could do something as amazing as this, performing Fusion with a mechanoid. He was so excited, he had decided to yell out his own words of victory, through the face of his newly transformed mechanoid.
"Leogan and Cainto, once two separate beings, but now one through Fusion!! And that one's name is..." Cainto smiled, his smile reflecting in the face of the mechanoid. "CEOGAR!!" The newly dubbed CeoGar's silver painted metal shined in the beaming sun, glaring at the witnesses' eyes.
Mamoru and Kaidou stared at the result of Fusion, big smiles on both of their faces. They both began to clap, and soon, everyone else that was there was clapping, whistling, and shouting. Cainto continued to smile, looking down on his friend's through his new friend's eyes, who roared out in excitement also. Everyone, including Cainto, began to laugh, until someone from inside the base came running out, everyone stopping, eyes watering, to hear what he had to say.
The man looked sweaty, and it wasn't a very good compliment to his baggy eyes. "Unknown hostility has landed in the nearby town of Rivaraine! We've been called in to investigate!" He announced, some people beginning to grimace. Cainto's smile had left him, but his hot-blooded heart had not.
"Alright!" He yelled out through CeoGar. Everyone turned to him, and Mamoru began to smile again, predicting what he was going to say. "Let's not stand around here reflecting on how awful it is, let's go there and stop whatever's going on!" The G-Stone on CeaGar's head began to glow even brighter, and Kaitou nodded.
"I understand, we all do." He took out a golden key, and it flashed in the sun, before he put it back away in his pocket. Mamoru turned to him, shocked.
"Kaitou, you...?" He began to ask and stopped, realizing what he was saying to Mamoru by showing the key. Mamoru nodded, and Kaitou smiled back in response.
"Let's get there and test Leogan and your combined power, Cainto!"
