SZS Wild Amazon
2nd Hunt: Zero Awakening
In the last chapter we were brought up to speed about the Amazons, cannibalistic monsters that feed on humans. Along with that is their release of the Amazons into the world and, the introduction of Amazon Rider Alpha Takayama Jin. And with the birth of the first human/Amazon hybrid, we return to the world 4 years after we left off.

The apple floats in the broad sky... The apple falls to the ground...
(Flames fill the room, A hand is placed on the ground and drops of blood spills out across the floor. The hand is lifted off the ground)
Stars are born, and songs are born. The lulu amel smiled for eternity.
(two figures battle amongst the flames. One thrusts his arm into the other's chest as black blood spill out across the floor.)
The stars kiss, and the song falls asleep.
(Pulling his arm the other figure falls to the ground. The victor looks around.)
Where is my place to return home...? Where is my place to return home...?
(Then the victor looks down at his blood ridden hand. And begins to scream.)
The apple floats in the broad sky... The apple falls to the ground…
(Soldiers rush in, and they take down the Victor and drag him away...)
We are Albert
"Sir. Subject Zero is being brought it." I stare at the screen, looking at the boy. I can't help to but think back to how we found him. Transformed, covered in blood, and on the verge of a break down.
"What shall we do with him?" I sigh. We can no longer send him back...
"Get him a brace, then take him to Cell 5. I'll talk to him." We prepared for this. But not in this way… Fate, are indeed a cruel mistress.
Raito: You sure about that?
Albert:(takes off glasses and rubs eyes) Yes. We have no choice but to tell him. I didn't want to bring him in till much later.
The men lift up his left sleeve and put the needle covered brace, putting it on small drops of blood drop. The men clean it up and change the boy into another set of clothes before they drag him off. But as he's brought back to his human form, a tear forms on the boy's eye.
Time skip: 2 hours We are Zero
...Murr...Wha? What? I slowly sit up and look around. Where am I? What ah! Oh god...What What did I? I wrap my arms around my shoulders, when I feel something on my left shoulder. Lifting my sleeve up, I see that there is some sort of odd bracelet on my shoulder. And it hurts, I think I can see some blood.
"Welcome back to the land of the living." A voice says. I turn to see a man with brown hair, glasses, blue eyes, dressed in a lab coat.
"Who-Who are?" I say crawling into the corner of the bed I'm on.
Albert:(smiles) My name is Albert Fillaus. But you can call me Albert. I am the head scientist here at the Nozami Foundation's project 4. The Nozami Foundation is an american Based company.
Zero:(raises eyes) P-Project 4?
Albert:(nods) Yes. The Amazon project. That's why you are here. Please. I need to know, what is the last thing you remember before waking up here?
Zero:(scared) I-I… I-
Albert:(smiles) It's okay. Take your time. And if you don't want to talk about it just tell me you don't want to.
Zero:(looks up) I-I want to...Ah! My mom and dad?! My sister?! Are they ok?
Albert:(points to screen) Look for yourself.
On the screen I see the news, and I see my mom, dad, and my sister make it out safe. A smile forms on my face and relax a little.
"Better?" Albert-san says and I give a nod to him.
"So...What happened? In that building. People were saying that there was a fight in there." Albert-san asks. After a moment of thought I begin to tell him.
Flashback…
I was with my family and we were enjoying a day off, when the building suddenly exploded. My sister and me were separated from each other. After that the two of us just started looking for exits, till we became trapped in a big room. I thought we were gonna die. Till someone broke down the wall. We had through someone had come to save us. But our happiness soon turned to terror as a monster stood before us.
Albert: A monster you say? What did it look like?
It...I don't remember clearly, the smoke must have blocked my vision. But all I did was tell my sister to run as I rush up to the thing and I tried to hold it off. My sister did run, and when she escaped I through to run too. But then I...I felt something.
Albert: What is this "Something?"
A...A feeling of rage. I suddenly felt cold for a moment, till I felt a blast of hot air hit me. It wasn't the flames. Then suddenly I raged out and started to battle the thing. I then...I threw my arm into his...Chest and...I-I...I.
Albert: Don't push it anymore. Stop right there. I won't force to you feel more sadness.
Back to the present…
Zero: Albert-san? You said I was brought here as a part of a...Amazon? Project?
Albert:(sighs) Yes. And I'm sorry to say...You cant leave. Or see you're family.
Zero: Wh-Why not?!
Albert:(stands up) Come with me and you will see why. But if you don't want to know the truth. Then don't follow me. The choice is yours.
Albert-san heads to the door, and opens it. Getting up I take a look at my clothes. I have been changed into another pair of clothes. All white.
"You're old clothes were covered in blood. So we changed you." I just shake off the thought as I go after him.
"Good choice. Now come with me." Albert-san says as the doors open, and we follow after.
Time skip: 1 years We are observer
In the year since Zero came to the facility, the team at the Nozami Foundation have been working hard on reengineering the belt similar to the one Takayama Jin's. And after four years the finally recreated it. Now that they have a proper working belt. They need a test subject.
Albert:(walks up to door and types in code) Zero. We need your assistance.
Zero: Why do you call me Zero? I have a name.
Albert:(gestures) I know. But this is for your sake. If no one knows you're real identity then it's easier to keep those who have left safe.
Zero: ….Okay.
We are Zero
I'm taken to a open room with a belt on the pedestal. The belt looks like a face was built into it. Handles being a the nostrils and above being the eyes.
"Put the belt on and turn the right handle." I hear over the intercoms. I walk over to the pedestal and I take the belt, and I strap it on. And I grab the right handlebar, and I turn it...nothing.
"Hold on." Is something supposed to happen?
"Okay. I think, I know the issue now. But this wi-" The alarm rings.
"Never mind. Zero! You're on top of this alert!" Wh-Wait. Am I? Going on mission?
Location Change: Yamanashi Japan We are Observer
In the deserts of Yamanashi a man drives through the desert. His name is Takayama Jin. He's been tracking down Amazons for 14 years now. Through he's far from killing them all, he doesn't care as long as he kills them. Taking a quick look at his phone, the marker points to two Amazons in the area. Heading to their awaken beacon, Jin drives off the road and towards a hidden military training facility.
Location Change: SDF SISH Block 820 We are Jin
I drive up to a broken down bunker door.
"Hmm? What's this?" I get off my bike and walk over to the door which is busted. Scratch marks, and blood. Looking to my right I notice the body.
"Phoo~ Now that is nasty." The body was, as all other who fall victim to the Amazons, eaten. But after 14 years of seeing crap like this you get used to it. I head inside, the place is filled with piles of Carbon, and scratch marks. It seems that the Noise were here, but judging by the claw marks they were after they were destroyed. Which leaves the question?
Jin:(looking around) What killed the Noise and where is the Amazon?
I starts to walk around the area, and after a bit of walking, I hear a scream from a room down the hall. I speed walk over, as I arrive to two girls and the Amazon, eating a guard.
"Oh my…" The Orange haired girl says.
"Wh-What the hell are-" The Blue haired girl says.
Jin:(walking over) Amazon.
Blue Haired Woman: A-A what?
Jin:(straps on belt) A monster. Abomination, that should have never have been created….Through… I'm not one to talk.
Orange Haired Woman: What are you?
I turn the handle on my driver.
"Same as them. An Amazon." I say as I turn the handle on the driver.
"Alpha!" The belt speaks.
"Amazon." My body blast out red hot air.
"Wild!" My body morphs into a red amazon with green scar marks all across my body.
"Heh...now...It's time to hunt." I slowly walk towards the Amazon, in fear it charges towards me. Throwing a punch I dodge it, and I grab his arm, and trip the Amazon up. Falling to the ground I raise my arm and I sock him.
"Stop!" I turn to see the guard from before, his arm has been eaten off.
Guard: P-Please. Let me try to get to him…
Alpha:(rolls eyes) Sigh~ This is always the hardest part of Amazon Hunting. Sorry buddy but this is for his own good.
I go in for the finisher, but I'm knocked back by a giant spear. Smashing into the wall, falling out and onto my knees I look back up, as the Amazon wobbles off. I rush over to the orange haired woman. Grabbing her collar, I bring her close to my face.
Alpha:(points) Way to go bitch! By letting him go, he's gonna cause more havoc!
Orange Haired Woman:(pushes hand aside) Hey! You don't know if you can save him!
Alpha: Lady! You have no idea, what you just did.(turns and chances) Come back here you son of a bitch!
"Hey! Wait!" The three follow after me. The Amazon reaches the entrance, but stops. It looks up. "Hmm? Ah." I feel something in my gut, and it tells me to look up. It another Amazon? Odd. Their only should be two here, how did get above us? Wait...How am I even detecting it anyways? I don't have this strong of senses...Unless...Whoever is sending out this signal is one with a ton of power.
"RAAAAGHGHGHAAAAA~!" A loud roar is heard, then a the sound of a impact directs our attention to outside. Someone had fallen and smashed into the sand. The Amazon starts to back up.
"Hmm?" The others behind me look out in surprise.
"RAGH!" And in a flash, a figure slashes through the Amazon.
Amazon:(splits in half) Th-Thank you-
The Amazon's body melts into a black liquid. And now I get a good look on the figure. It's definitely another Amazon. The body is black with the chest being white, and red outlines. Black scales on my spine area, on the arms with longer sharper claws on the underside of his arms, then the legs are the same but without claws on the underside. And on his waist is a recreation of my belt.
"Heeh. So they were able to re engineer a belt huh? And you are?" I ask the new arrival.
Zero:(growls) I am...Amazon Rider Zero! I'm here to stop the Amazons!
Alpha:(smirks) Is that so? Heh. Well then...Come get me.
"RAAAGH!" Zero charges towards me, and the scales extend out into arm blades. Jumping towards me, I dodge to the side sliding past his attack, Zero swings around his right leg, I jump back.
"Well. This is a nice welcome, an Amazon that knows how to fight. This just got interesting." I ready myself into attack position. Zero huh? Something feels different with him...
(You!)
Who are you? The me inside of me?
Show me the figure hidden in the shadows!
Oh...the depths of derivation!
Trembling bodies are red and minced!
Where is my heart? Also looking for the pain!
The heart is overflowing only!
Hey! We live in Armour Zone!
The wind cuts with a hoarse voice!
In this city where beasts are laughing!
To eat, or to be eaten, is your fate?
Oh yeah!
Look, the taste of sorrow is in my throat!
My claws held up, I disappear nastily!
What do you eat to live?
Betraying all races!
(How do we survive?!)
See you next Hunt.
