Chapter 10: Of vain fighting
08:37 AM (Japan Time), Sunday June the 22nd…
"… Hisss… Yes, Falzer – sama… Count on "Zoan" Snake Man"…"
"I'll be watching."
"Do as you like, "Zoan" Gate Man… Heh, heh, heh."
"Fine."
Two "Zoanoroids" of the Falzer Army had been receiving orders from the rock which seemingly contained "Falzer" itself.
"I'll poison our enemies! My slow and subtle poison will drive them to despair and chaos! Heh, heh, heh."
"Zoan" Snake Man could only be told apart from his Earth counterpart by his different color palette.
His main skin was colored in a shade of olive green, brighter than the original Snake Man's one.
The body used a bright brown type of coloring while his arms' greenish and yellowish coloring remained unchanged: the "waist" was colored purple as well: the Falzer emblem was set over his hands.
His attached jar had dull brown as its primary color along with a red stripe half-way across its height where the emblem had been set at as well: three small jets producing dull bluish/grayish flames popped out of the underside.
"Fine. But if you find someone with potential then infect them with "Juuka Inshi" to weaken them and Falzer – sama will make them become one of our army as well…"
His pal, "Zoan" Gate Man, was a new type of Navi who was about a meter and sixty tall or maybe closer to a seventy.
His head had a mask covering the face colored in an orange-like color and his eyes' irises were but two red dots over a yellow "eye" or pupil.
A reddish piece of armor protected the forehead while a thin brown armor layer shaped like an ascending arrow surrounded the front edge of his head armor which was rather thick because it integrated golden "hair" which reached past the chest.
His yellow spheroid shoulders had an orange dome covering the upper half, a metallic ring attached to them, and his arms sprouted from there: they were covered in sturdy brown metallic armor over bright brown "skin" and his hands' "skin" was exposed: they were black in color.
His chest armor was brown too and he had a metallic octahedron set there with a thin vertical stripe running across its height and splitting in two, creating two "gates" which could be opened to draw a teal brown cannon with three blue dots on each side of it and a triangle-shaped muzzle.
His lower body and legs' coloring was of a brighter brown with two dull brown stripes running down from below the chest and across their legs before the boots began.
These boots had a main dull metallic brown color and only protected until the ankle: a thin black cylinder supported them, sprouting from the plain yellow "feet": the boots' end had a small square slot which allowed one to see those "feet" and the front included partial armor to allow them to attack with the front of the feet: the soils were brown in color.
"Delighted! I'll complete "Zoan" Punk's strategy!"
"Zoan" Snake Man left and "Zoan" Gate Man chuckled under his breath: he heard a splash sound close by.
"Huh? What?"
A puddle of a silver-colored liquid had suddenly formed right behind him and apparently from nowhere at all.
"Where did this come out from?"
The "puddle" suddenly began to stir and "rise" to give way to a humanoid shape having some kind of blackish helmet over their heads.
They also had the shape of eyes, a nose, a thin human-like body with two arms and legs, and two intimidating knives instead of hands.
They were about "Zoan" Gate Man's height.
"What!"
The thing suddenly jumped into the air and spread their arms wide as if they were going to cut across it: "Zoan" Gate Man gasped.
"Remote Gate!"
A large prism-shaped metallic body formed: two doors leading into blackness opened and he ran inside as they closed and the object disappeared: the enemy landed on the ground and the "Remote Gate" formed again behind them: he formed a cannon weapon colored brown body, red dots and a pyramidal muzzle which popped out from the chest.
"Gate Cannon!"
He shot a blast of energy which pierced through the thing and it dissolved into the puddle form only to suddenly rise again and give way to four of them.
"I-impossible! Ma no Te! Demon Hand!"
He formed a crude large purple arm which ended in a five-fingered claw and which gripped two of the enemies to make them explode as if one had pierced a balloon: stains flew across the room and landed at random before crawling across the ground and forming a new puddle from which another 8 enemies formed.
"Shit! Is there no end to them? "Zoan" Kendo Man!"
"You called? What in the… What are those things?"
"Like I knew! Try to help me out while I think how to beat them!"
"R-roger."
"Shit! Gate Cannon! Eat this, these AND THESE!"
"Hah! Eat sword!"
"Zoan" Kendo Man was also a new type of Navi.
He could be a bit taller than "Zoan" Gate Man and, like his name pointed out to begin with, was designed to resemble a kendo fighter clad in the full armor.
His helmet had the traditional guard built over the face which was wholly blackened and only his eyes (having red irises) were visible: the ear-pads were set at the sides and a metallic fang curved upwards protruded from above the helmet while three spikes aimed backwards.
The helmet and the neck plus shoulder armor was colored in a blood red type of color: it also extended across his back and down it.
The chest was colored in navy blue color and his Falzer emblem had been set on the center of it: his arms had dull red armor on them which included a pattern of four black dots connected between them near where the elbow would be at: there was a thin golden round piece of armor circling it instead.
The arms were colored in a bright red color and the forearms included extra armor with a rectangular prism cavity cut into them: two squares colored yellow and blue were set inside.
The wrists had square black holes cut into them and his hands were gloves which fused the four fingers together and left the thumb finger apart.
The waist armor used that dull red coloring as well and included the four plates with a trapeze aiming downwards cut into them: the main form of the waist was a round circle with a climbing dome above it plus a black band splitting it into two close to the start of the legs: there was another stretch of armor before the legs began.
The legs were surrounded by solid leg armor or pants colored in a shade of purple and being rather unadorned save at their end where they had two yellow squares a circling band: the legs were shaped like diamond prisms then the dots were split by one of the corners.
The feet were plain, colored in the dull red shade and had little volume but had five fingers each.
He wielded a kendo sword with a brown hilt and yellow energy body plus a small gray metallic band near the upper edge and a cap.
"By Falzer – sama! What are these? Some Greiga weapon?" "Zoan" Kendo Man gasped as he tried to hold them at bay.
"Damn it. How could they come up with this?" "Zoan" Gate Man wondered next.
"Hah! Those aren't ours but they led us here."
"Mwah, hah, hah! You're over!"
"Shit! The Greiga Army next!"
A figure followed by "Zoan" Guts Man suddenly appeared there while all fighters suddenly stopped and got warped out of the room: a field of energy formed and wrapped the rock which contained Falzer as if to impede them from getting in the way.
"Hmpf! I, "Zoan" Colonel… Will win!"
"Zoan" Colonel appealed as being close to two meters tall in height.
His main body had a black suit which ended in a Scottish skirt like piece of armor.
His helmet had a triangle-like form which extended forward and included a small red triangle with golden rims on it.
His ear pads had no drawing on them and black hair came out in pointed shape behind the partly open helmet: his eyes' irises were green.
The armor had high neck and his face was protected by a red-colored structure.
His shoulder pads which were placed at the sides of his shoulders were colored white and each had a small rectangle cavity on them.
His left wrist had a metallic bracelet which ended in a blade-shaped extension over the hand's palm while his right forearm had a red capsule object set there.
A pale green saber emerged from there: the opening had four white-colored teeth-like pieces set around it.
There was a gap between the chest armor and the skirt around the stomach area and the emblem was set at the start of the skirt: a yellowish-colored octahedron with a metallic gray circle was set there on the center: a gray-colored line formed around the upper edge of the skirt and then descended across the middle of it: four pyramid-base-shaped yellowish shapes were drawn on the lower edge of the skirt: two per side.
His emblem was set on the middle of the waist circle.
The Navi also sported black boots with a thin gray-colored pattern bordering them which started a little below the knee and one small vertical yellowish rectangle slightly above of where the feet fingers ended at.
He sported a blue silk cape which fell slightly short of reaching the ground and emerged from beneath his shoulders.
"Mega Guts Punch!"
"Uack!"
"Shit. Gate Cannon!"
"Colonel Cannon!"
"Zoan" Colonel formed a Tank Cannon on his right forearm and shot it: the mere size was enough to overcome the Gate Cannon's round and hit "Zoan" Gate Man: he cursed and stood up.
"Ma no Te!"
"Screen Divide!"
"Zoan" Colonel drew his saber and formed a greenish streak of electricity which travelled across the ground while carving a pattern: it cut through the "Demon Hand" too and hit "Zoan" Gate Man again: the blow made him fall to the ground and he groaned.
"Mwah, hah, hah! Weak! Too weak!"
"Fuck. Remote Gate!"
"Hah! No matter what you try… I'm invincible!"
"Hah! This fool can't hope to stand to me, "Zoan" Guts Man!"
"Shit."
"Zoan" Kendo Man managed to get to his feet but it was obvious that his battling style wasn't adequate to face "Zoan" Guts Man and his close-quarters attacks.
"Shockwave!"
"Fuck."
"Gate Soldiers!"
"Zoan" Gate Man opened his chest's doors and some small enemies which had a main pink body, brownish arms and legs and a black cone-shaped head.
They had simple white eyes drawn there and wielded a small lance on their right forearm plus a metallic green shield on the left one: a streak of brownish hair jumped out from behind them.
"Go!"
"Gate, Gate, Gate~!"
They rushed over to "Zoan" Colonel and began to attack from different heights and angles: the numbers were too much for the guy to handle and "Zoan" Gate Man chuckled.
"Oi! "Zoan" Kendo Man! Handle that guy. I'll get rid of that other."
"Fine!"
"Bring it on, twerp!"
"Heh, heh, heh. Ma no Te!"
"Zoan" Gate Man clutched the chest emblem of "Zoan" Guts Man and ripped it: he howled and clutched that as data began to leak out.
"I'll make you be at peace!"
"Y-you lowlife…!"
"Gate Cannon!"
"Mugro~h!"
"Hmpf. I'm going to get serious! Hra~h!"
"Zoan" Colonel began to glow with purplish light and started the "Bestialize": both gasped and stepped back.
"Mwah, hah, hah!"
His "Bestialize" form brought forth a lot of changes to his body and "Zoan" Gate Man gasped.
His helmet became further triangular and gained two small red paws emerging from behind coupled with a large blood red "fin" popping out of atop the helmet: the armor around his jaw drew five triangles aiming inwards: his hair became long and wilder.
His shoulder plating got displaced to the sides of the round shoulders and gained a diamond-like formation colored white and with two stripes and an upper gray edge: a small red diamond protruded from the gray edge near to the head.
His arms remained unchanged but his forearms got thicker and gained some slight mosaic-like gray plating near the wrists plus two dagger-like forms extending above the hand.
The chest armor opened to form a vest and a small red diamond was placed slightly above the emblem.
His skirt changed shape as well and split into two halves with jagged edges and a small yellowish thin diamond extending from there.
The boots had gotten a redesign too: large curved extensions colored blood red formed in the knees the patterns on them got altered as well: a central square section was drawn over the start of the talons and had a small yellow square dot there.
These boots ended in talon-like extensions colored red and their colors were black with some gray patterns: a small red diamond was set on the sides of the talons as well.
His sword gained a saw-like pattern to it on its upper edge.
"Screen Divide!"
The pattern he shot this time seemed to be more powerful and it actually cut "Zoan" Kendo Man in half: he got deleted.
"Huh? Bah. It'd seem some interlopers defeated "Zoan" Napalm Man and that "Zoan" Snake Man too… So it's come down to you lowlife and me! The only remaining "Zoanoroids"… And the one who survives will see the destruction of the other's army!"
"Shit." "Zoan" Gate Man cursed.
"Our soldiers are already advancing and fighting you guys' Viruses!"
He opened a holographic screen to depict an army of some curious soldier-like Navis advancing across the "desert".
Each could be slightly over a meter and fifty tall maybe closer to sixty and their main body armor color was metallic gray.
Their heads had partial armor over the foreheads and their skin was gray: they had simplistic reddish eyes a black triangle where the mouth would be at.
They wielded some kind of weapon on their right forearms which looked like some advanced rifle: the main body was green plus a gray piece and a red piece.
The left arm was rather unarmored and only had a brownish piece of armor over the hand.
They had a simplistic brown belt on their waists with a round pattern carved on the center.
Their knees had armor on them: the legs below them did have armor plating while the rest were unprotected and skin was exposed.
The feet were actually three talon-like extensions coming out of a black body and prolonging southwards.
"Heck and HECK." He cursed.
"Mwah, hah, hah! Colonel Cannon!"
He drew the weapon, which had gotten a slight redesign by adding two paws protruding out of the muzzle's rim and two bluish diamonds set on the sides of the body.
"Be gone, you damned Falzer mice! Hah!"
"Kuh! Remote…!"
"Too slow!"
The blast hit the chest of "Zoan" Gate Man and blew up the doors of his compartment: "Zoan" Colonel formed the sword and lifted the guy to pierce the sword through there.
"Gurua~h! Kruga~h! FALZER – SAMA~!"
He got deleted and his data flew towards the rock which began to glow.
"Hah! Greiga – sama will soon come to settle it with you lowlife once and for all! We Greiga Army will rule the world and this world! And nothing will be able to oppose us! Absolutely…!"
"Heh, heh, heh… Heh, heh, heh…"
"Who..? Huh! What are these?"
The "gelatin" soldiers formed again and began to assault "Zoan" Colonel who began to slay them but any damaged parts of the body got immediately regenerated.
"You're not going anywhere until Greiga gets here and then we can go for the climax of the show! You've put up a good show for the audience but it's already coming to its inevitable conclusion! Now! Put up some struggle for the audience to witness. They'll love it: I promise you lowlifes! Come! Kyoudai! And be annihilated! Mwah, hah, hah!"
