11 - Everything Has a Face
It was an extremely brief before CeoGar and KraGar had both made it to the spot that had been reported as being attacked. It definitely wasn't a prank call, because there was an extremely large robot thrashing about the city, throwing small buildings and knocking larger ones over. As the two approached the city, Cainto could just barely hear a voice coming from the robot, though he quickly dismissed it when they came into range. "G-Cannons, fire!" Cainto shouted, four small cannons on the StealthGao aiming over CeoGar's shoulders. They fired one quick burst of green energy at the robot, which Cainto could now see as being quite a bit taller than GaoCeoGar. The shots struck the robot in the rear, and it didn't seem to notice until Cainto had started charging up another shot. "Let's go at him again!" He yelled, the green energy gathering in the cannons again. "Fire!!" He repeated, the energy bursting out just as it had the first time.
The robot raised its enormously large hand and in one sweep, knocked the shots to the side, deflecting them at nearby homes and people. Suddenly, the same voice that Cainto had heard a minute ago busted out into laughter, and he could hear it clearly this time. "Heh, what the hell do you think you're doing with such a weak attack?" The voice mocked, the robot reaching out and bringing its hand back to swipe at CeoGar.
"Cainto!" Larean shouted from KraGar, her voice helping Cainto regain his focus and hover out of the way of the robot's deadly attack. Cainto flew back over beside the KraGar, to the outskirts of the city, and the robot followed slowly, with large steps. Once they were all out in the open, Cainto and Larean could finally get a good look at the robot. Cainto instantly realized that it was different from the other two he had fought previously; this one was certainly larger, but it was unique from the others in the face that on its chest it had the face of some kind of reptile. Above that face was another face, with the same white mask as GaoCeoGar, as well as a blade-like protrusion running down the middle of its head. The whole robot was heavily built, painted over in dark blue and chrome, besides the black head. It frightened Cainto because it was strikingly similar to GaoCeoGar's design, yet he could tell it was so much stronger.
"Check." The same voice said suddenly, the robot's large limbs somehow folding into themselves to become skinnier. All at once, the robot was right in front of Cainto, punching CeoGar in its chest, knocking it easily to the side. Cainto went flying downwards, and almost hit the ground below, though he was able to recover using the StealthGao's jets right before CeoGar hit. The robot turned and flew at CeoGar at an extreme speed, almost instantly appearing in front of it. "Checkma-" The voice began, though it was cut off when KraGar's Claw Arm hit directly into the robot's face. The robot flew back a bit, but it was still a lot larger than the two mechanoids, so it easily recovered without any visible damage. "Just when I thought I could get a little more fun out of you, that's all you got?" The voice mocked again, the robot beginning to glow orange.
"W-Who are you?" Cainto asked the voice, watching the robot carefully, anticipating an attack. At first the voice didn't respond, and the robot started to glow brighter orange. However, when the robot's glow began to fade, the voice came back, its mocking tone gone.
"You want to know my name?" It asked, the reptile chest's mouth opening up slowly. A man was standing inside of its mouth, his whole body glowing bright orange. From what Cainto could tell, he had long red hair, past his shoulders, and he was wearing a black trench coat that covered his entire body, with the collar turned up, peaking above his ears. He had a deep, dark smile, and his eyes were a dull brown, contrary to the bright orange clinging to his entire figure. "My name is Kyosuke," his eyes suddenly glinted the same orange as his aura, "I want you to remember that name when you're on your death bed." The reptile mouth snapped shut, and Cainto felt another fist in his chest as the robot connected with punch after punch into CeoGar's animal head. The pain was so unbearable that Cainto couldn't open his eyes anymore, and he was closing them so tightly that tears began to stream down his cheeks.
"Final Fusion approved!" Cainto's eyes shot open at the sound of Captain Mamoru's approval, using CeoGar's legs to push off of the still bombarding robot.
"Understood! Program Drive!!" The same female voice responded to Captain Mamoru's orders.
"FINAL FUSION!!" Cainto heard another female's voice scream, and he looked up, watching the KraGar extend its arms outwards and begin spinning, the same green fog that had protected him during his Final Fusion shielding its transformation from Cainto's sight.
"What the..." Cainto was staring in awe at the green fog, never thinking that he'd be on the outside of it. He was so perplexed that he didn't realize that he was still in a battle.
"Too late for you!" Kyosuke shouted, dashing along the air to strike CeoGar from the side with another punch while he was staring at his comrade. Before the punch connect, the green fog dissipated, and a familiar looking super mechanoid blocked the robot's fist with a pink glowing left hand.
"GaoKraGar," Larean said calmly, throwing the robot backwards with ease. Cainto was still shocked from the Final Fusion, and Larean had to push CeoGar away from itself. "Cainto, I want you to sit this one out. It's about time that someone else should get a chance to fight," Larean instructed him, now staring down Kyosuke's robot.
"Impressive.." Kyosuke remarked, his robot's limbs expanding back to their first size, now becoming larger than GaoKraGar. "But do you really think it will be enough to defeat my KyoGrief?!!" He mocked, the robot, KyoGrief, beginning to glow an extremely bright orange. "Especially when I know all of GaoCeoGar's techniques!"
"Shut your mouth." Larean interrupted. In the still of the battle, Cainto was able to also get a good look at GaoKraGar now. It was basically the same as GaoCeoGar; however, the StealthGao it was using was designed differently, and instead of the square-shaped G-Stone on its forehead, it had the four-pointed star-shaped J-Jewel slotted through its golden antennae-like crown, as well as the chest being Kigrcan's head. "This isn't GaoCeoGar.." GaoKraGar's cockpit began to glow bright red along with the J-Jewel on its forehead, "...this is GaoKraGar!!"
