Battles Galore Part IV
Outside Giga City:
"Eat laser fire! You bilge suckers!" Captain was on deck. He had been appointed second in command of the Apocalypse Forces Fleet by Sun Star due to his natural leadership abilities. "Wait until the scurvy dogs are in range! Don't fire all our ammo! Watch those shields!" The Kraken shook violently. "What was that?!"
"A lone fighter has somehow broken through our shields and did some major damage to our engine core!"
Inside a small purple ship was the cause of Captain's dilemma. It looked like a cross between a saber-tooth tiger and a dragon. It wore navy blue and magenta armor and was known as one of the greatest pilots in the armada. His name was Stryke Banzai; his last name is nickname due to his catch phrase. A fierce warrior and master pilot, titles which had earned him his position as captain of The Beast. He was now in his personal fighter Stryker. As he flew he caught three enemy fighters on his tail. He swerved the plane into a barrel-roll downward the enemy naturally following just in time to see him release a barrage of missiles, the last thing they ever saw.
"BANZAI!" Suddenly a giant metal tentacle wrapped around his ship immobilizing it. Then it started drawing the tentacle in…straight into a vat of acid! "Oh no! I did not come this far to be dissolved. He ejected and slid down the tentacles and landed on the hull of The Kraken. "And my ship isn't going neither." He charged up blue energy into the palms of his hands one orb was filled with a positive charge and other a negative charge. He hurled them at the tentacle that had his ship and as the blasts met they exploded causing a small electromagnetic pulse to be released over all the tentacles. He headed for the control room but was blown backwards by a mine he had almost stepped on. He looked to see Captain glaring at him. (Maverick Hunter1 starts)
"You are not welcome on my ship bilge rat!" He dashed forward and upper cut Stryke. "Time for you to walk the plank!" Suddenly a dagger of green energy thudded into his right arm and exploded doing major damage. "I'll make sure you're dead before I throw you into Davy Jone's Locker!" A blast of negative energy was released that Captain easily avoided just in time to get a blast of green plasma straight through his left shoulder. Stryke released another combination of Negative and Positive energy which shorted out Captain Stryke walked over and with a devastating tail swipe knocked him onto a catwalk right above the acid pit. He ran up in time to get a kick that almost sent him over the side. Captain launched a mine that seemed to be remote controlled and Stryke had to release a Giga Breath attack which accidentally cut the rails side. Captain dashed over and attempted to slice Stryke open with his razor sharp claw. Stryke dodged hovering over the ramp so he was on the other side of Captain and Captain's claw clean cut the other rail. Captain shot another Remote Canon which Stryke sliced open. "Stop playing and fight! You landlubber!"
"You know I'd rather be a landlubber than an acid-lubber. See ya!" And he ran and jumped to the hull and began to climb his way upwards. Captain, puzzled looked to see the Remote Canon on a timer! Before he could cry out in outrage the bomb exploded plummeting Captain into the acid of his own trap. Stryke climbed to the top and headed for the control cabin. He met a little resistance but that was easily solved by his superb fighting skills. He might be Rank A but that didn't mean he was no better a fighter. He gave the command that released his ship from The Kraken's tentacles and set the ship to self-destruct. He got in his ship and took off just as the ship exploded.
"Blast it!" Sun Star pounded his fit into his chair. "Another ship lost! Ready my ship for full combat! I'll teach these nuisances not to mess with a celestial being!
On The Pegasus.
"Fire all cannons now!" The command was followed and another cloaked ship fell into the sea.
"Commander Signas!" Captain Bellerophon had entered the bridge.
"What is it captain?"
"A ship is causing major havoc! It has already defeated ten of our fighters and is now headed this way!" Colonel stood up.
"Prepare my ship!"
"Die pitiful bugs! I am Sun Star the celestial ruler." Sun star was in what looked like a giant golden hawk. In the center were two pyramids with rainbow like prisms on the top. Another fighter attempted to attack. The prisms rotated and a large golden ray incinerated the ship. "There is our target! Terra prepare the ship to attack their flagship!" The pyramid had flaps open up to reveal rows of lasers and below two torpedo launchers popped out and the wings grew another ten feet as a five foot blade of energy extended from each wing. But before it could a large silver ship appeared and began firing a storm of orange plasma (Maverick Hunter 2 starts). Ra raised its shields and the prisms attempted to incinerate Colonel with a sun ray. Colonel barrel rolled and launched a missile at the ship it gave off a magnetic wave which made the ship go wacky until it mistakefully aimed the prisms at itself and incinerated itself. As Colonel looked he saw a figure on a platform that looked like a sun in the midst of nine vapors. Colonel began firing another storm of plasma but the figure raised a shield like the eye of Ra and absorbed the blast and redirected it at the ship. The shields were destroyed by the onslaught, unknown to Sun Star Colonel ejected out a submarine and the last time he saw his ship was when Sun Star incinerated it with a blast of golden light using his shield.
The people on the bridge were shocked when Sun Star burst through the view port.
"Where is your leader? Dr. Cain." Four female navigators stepped out of their seats. The first was pink aiming a buster at him. The second was a red one glowing purple and in a fighting stance. The third was purple wielding a rapier, and the last was green with two guns in her hands.
"Stay away from him!" With a look of amusement Sun Star extended his four fingers and shot a penetrating light from each. With a yell all of them fell to their knees with a hole in each of their right chest.
"Alia!" A new character had entered the scene. With no regard for his safety a purple reploid in a lab coat ran to the pink female. When she didn't respond he seemed to fall to his knees and weep…the sight disgusted him. Suddenly Gate stood up. "I'm going to eliminate you from existence!" (Stand by Zero starts) He threw off his lab coat revealing gold and white armor. The armor was similar to Zero's except it had purple gems. With surprising speed he upper cut Sun Star through the ceiling and up onto the hull. With a blazing magenta fist Gate came up behind him and slammed his fist into his back. "DATA SPHERE!" He flipped landing on his feet and released a green sphere of energy. It flew towards Sun Star at an incredible speed. It rammed itself into Sun Star knocking him backwards. He got up and released a burst of golden plasma. Gate dodged and released another sphere this time a purple sphere which separated into seven balls that formed into red and blue squid like creatures. "NIGHTMARE SPAWN!" They latched themselves onto Sun Star and began releasing painful bursts of plasma from their chests. The pain was intense but Sun Star could take it.
"SUN BURST!" His body glowed extremely bright and exploded outward incinerating the nightmares. However this had given Gate another chance to attack.
"SPEED REVERSE!" Gate launched a red sphere of energy which impacted Sun Star. Sun Star slowed down giving Gate an easy chance to lay on some punishment. Finally Sun Star returned to normal and punched Gate backwards. "I've had enough of you! Time to make you pay for hurting Alia!" He produced a blue orb and launched into the center of the area. "BLUE-HOLE!" Sun Star resisted the pull of the sphere as hard as he could but slowly he was being pulled in. He formed a shuriken star like weapon out of sunlight and hurled it into the orb. It exploded sending six blasts in both directions. Sun Star raised his shield and absorbed the blast…Gate wasn't as lucky. A sphere struck him square in the chest and Gate sparked with golden light. He collapsed to the ground. Sun Star raised his buster ready to finish the job when he was struck behind by a wave of violet energy.
"You didn't think I was done with you yet did you?" Sun Star whirled to see Colonel standing behind him with his orange beam saber. Signas suddenly punched him backwards as well after he had teleported to the hull.
"And you are not welcome on my ship!" Gate floated back to his feet and took two magenta beam sabers from his belt and ignited them.
"Alia hasn't been avenged yet so you're still going to be dealing with me." Sun Star whirled trying to keep all of his opponents in range. Together the three Hunters rushed him and the battle continued.
"Ding. First floor reached please enjoy the rest of your day here at Giga City." The door opened admitting the rest of the troupe to enter the room. A long hallway slowly made its way up before it reached a door which apparently had seen better days. With some effort they wrenched the door off its hinges and entered. The room was a disaster, charred and burnt. And standing if front of the door was…
"That's them, the ones who beat me and took me to Apollyon!" Gareth and Berkana stood in front of the door facing them.
"Welcome hunters. Ah! Who's this? Oh of course now I remember the first of a new breed of reploids. Sophia was your name I believe."
"Not any more you horrid witch! My name is Diamond now and let me show you why!" She and Guilroid stepped forward away from the main group.
"Ah. And is this your boyfriend? My you two look cute together. Allow us to make it so you're together…forever!" Suddenly a steel wall cut them off from the group and another wall separated them.
"Time to die. Hahahahahahaha!"
Guilroid had been too shocked to move and so he was caught on the other side of the wall. Worst of all, the wall was blocking his sight of Sophia. Gareth stood at attention wielding his lance. Without a word he stepped back revealing a young brown haired teen in a blue shirt and a gray, sleeveless coat. He was also wearing goggles. He had bruises on his body and tears in his eyes but Guilroid could see he was as defiant as ever.
"Takato!" Guilroid was angry at seeing his brother in such a state. He drew his beam sabers and prepared to fight.
"Now, now that wouldn't be polite." And he slapped Takato to the ground. Gareth then placed his lance right above Takato's head. "I would suggest you surrender before I turn your creator into a pincushion!"
"Don't do it Guilroid!"
"Silence!" Gareth kicked Takato hard in the side, making him cry out in pain. That tore it for Guilroid. With a cry of rage he dashed towards Gareth. "Foolish youngling." Gareth was fast and brutal and in no time had knocked Guilroid into a wall. He then leaped upwards and hurled his lance at Guilroid. Guilroid rolled to the side and launched a Pyro Blast at Gareth. Without struggle he raised his shield blocking the attack. He then charged and impaled Guilroid in the arm. With a shriek of pain Guilroid fell to the floor clutching his arm. As he lay there, helpless as Gareth raised his lance for the final blow.
"NO!" A bright flash of light blinded Guilroid and he waited for the feeling of Gareth's lance slicing through his chest. When nothing happened he opened his eyes. Gareth's lance was two feet away from his chest being held back by two yellow blades of light held by a reploid. The reploid was like him in every way except it was pure gold, with angelic wings sprouting from his back and horns instead of bat-like ears. (A Friend in Danger starts)
"Takato?"
"Later!" He said and suddenly let go dodging to the side of Gareth and giving Guilroid a chance to escape the downward swipe from Gareth's lance. Caught off balance Gareth received a punch from Takato sending him flying backwards. He helped Guilroid up, letting his guard down. Gareth charged and punched him hard and kicked Guilroid to the ground again before dashing over and lifting his lance above his head.
"You will not interfere again human!"
"JUSTICE GUST!" Takato's wings suddenly flew forward releasing a barrage of razor sharp gold feathers which pushed Gareth back as he blocked them with his shield.
"Come on Bro! You know what they say: United we stand!" Guilroid rushed to his brother's side.
"Where did you get the wicked armor bro?"
"I made it duh."
"You always were good at the transmogrification technology. The only one who could beat you was Sheanne Cain."
"Yeah well the armor does have a side effect."
"Silence!" Gareth was on his feet with his lance pointed towards them. "United or not you both will still fall! The two nodded to each other Guilroid ignited all of his sabers and together the two brothers engaged Gareth together. Gareth was a highly trained warrior and could easily defeat one reploid alone but two was another matter. Though the two weren't really doing much damage he was having all he could handle fighting both of them. Finally the two ducked under a desperate swing from his lance and dealt him a major blow with their tails. As Gareth started to recover they let loose a barrage of attacks.
"PYRO BLAST!" Guilroid released a blast of red energy from his mouth that struck Gareth full in the chest causing him to stagger backwards.
"JUSTICE BEAM!" Takato released a beam of gold energy from his hand which drove Gareth back even more. Taking both attacks in full Gareth fell to the floor and slowly got up and while he was doing this the two siblings each changed their gems in their foreheads. Guilroid turned into his electric form while Takato's armor turned emerald green.
"THUNDER BLAST!" Guilroid released a blast of sparking electricity from which paralyzed Gareth in time for Takato's attack to hit.
"LIBERTY BEAM!" Takato released a beam of swirling emerald energy which flipped Gareth onto his back. They changed their crystals again this time Guilroid's armor turned navy blue and his mid-sections turned regular blue and Takato's armor turned ruby red.
"BLIZZARD BLAST!" Guilroid released a freezing blast of blue energy which froze Gareth solid just as he managed to stand up.
"CRIME BEAM!" He released a blazing beam of ruby energy which exploded on contact with Gareth, flinging him hard into the wall. Once more the two siblings changed form. Guilroid's armor turned forest green and his mid-sections turned regular green while Takato's armor turned sapphire blue.
"PLANT BLAST!" Guilroid released a blast of light-green energy which when it hit seemed to ensnare him in green tentacles of energy.
:PUNISHMENT BEAM!" Takato released a sapphire beam of energy, which must have been extremely powerful because Gareth cried out in agony when it hit. He struggled to stay standing and then fell to the floor. The two brothers hi-fived each other and returned to normal. All that remained of Takato's armor were bands of rainbow steel around his ankles, wrists, and forehead.
"We did it! That was some wickedly cool armor!"
"Yeah well like I said it has a side effect the bands are now fused to my body. It was a mistake I didn't' have time to fix so I decided to only use it in case of an emergency. Now the more I use it the longer it takes to return to normal. But that is easliy overcome by the…" Guilroid hugged his brother in a bear hug choking off Takato's words.
"I'm just glad to see that you're all right!"
"Bro! I may…be part…reploid now…but…I'm still…human!" Guilroid, embarrassed released Takato from his grip and gave him time to get his breath back.
"So do you think you can blast through these walls?"
"No way. Not even the strongest feature in my armor could destroy these walls."
"And that is the way they shall remain!" (Organization theme music starts) The two whirled to see Gareth back on his feet only now an evil wind was sweeping through the room. Six dark violet javelins appeared out of nowhere. Gareth grabbed three of them in one hand while he wielded his lance in the other the last three were held in the air by the dark wind. (Yeah it's Xaldin's set up but whoop de do I'm giving credit so I can do it) Takato's Justice armor reappeared in a bright light and Guilroid ignited his sabers. Together they charged Gareth but he simply blew them backwards with a blast of wind. As they flew back Takato released another Justice Gust. Gareth turned the three javelins in the air into a whirling shield blocking the attacks he then charged attempting to skewer them both with his javelins and lance. They dodged to the side avoiding the attack but getting thrown backwards by another blast of wind. Gareth whirled and began hurling the javelins at them. He managed to pin Guilroid to the wall and began to walk towards him to finish the job when he was tackled by Takato who he knew, knew that the wind would damage him. Takato finally managed to push his way through the wind and knocked Gareth back with a sweep of his tail. Gareth responded by releasing two gusts of wind which struck Takato so hard that he was pinned to the wall before he crumpled to the ground. "You surprise me human. Your loyalty and love for your brother is touching. But still it won't save you. However if you agree to serve me as my personal guard I will allow you and your brother to live, defending me side by side. It's the only way to save your lives and I know that your brother would agree to do it if it saved your life." Takato stood up and began to shine and glow.
"My brother would never serve you…and neither will I!" Takato turned into a bolt of white light which entered Guilroid's body. He began to glow and stunned Gareth watched as Takato's sapphire chest armor and helmet covered Guilroid's, his emerald leg armor also covered Guilroids, and a gold shield with the hazard symbol on it attached itself to Guilroid's arm but what scared Gareth the most was the long silver lance attached to his other arm. A billowing cape was tied around its neck as though it were a scarf. Beneath the helmet Guilroid's usually yellow eyes had turned brown. The creature glared at him and pointed his lance at him. The creature announced in a voice which sounded like a mixture of Guilroid's voice and Takato's voice.
"YOU'RE CRIMES ARE INEXCUSABLE! FEAR THE POWER OF GALLANTRY! FOR I AM YOUR JUDGE AND YOUR EXECUTIONER!" With the last word he charged his lance drawn. With fear evident on his face he hurled his six javelins at him. Guilroid dodged to the side and swung his lance down disintegrating the javelins with one swipe. He then turned and glared at Gareth once again and menacingly walked towards him. Desperate Gareth released razor sharp gusts of dark wind. The attack cut through the air headed towards it target. Guilroid raised the shield and as the gust impacted it they were absorbed into the shield. Waves of light radiated from the shield pushing Gareth back as he attempted to brace himself for the attack. Without a word Guilroid extended the lance in front of him. Gareth knew what this meant and so did likewise. They charged at each other lances extended. They met with a huge flash of blue light and each stopped opposite of the other. (Music stops) Everything was deathly still. Gareth staggered and began to fall to the floor but had turned to black vapor before he landed. Guilroid glowed really bright and separated into himself and Takato. They collapsed out of pure exhaustion. A warp appeared and a figure walked over to the two siblings. He smirked and with a flurry of red slashes destroyed the wall separating them from Diamond.
Diamond was too surprised to move when the wall first appeared. Berkana rose higher into the air.
"So my little test subject. Have you practiced in battle techniques since your conversion?"
"What choice did I have?" Diamond's claws lengthened turning into talons of pure diamond. Her arm diamonds also shimmered and formed two diamond shields shaped like four pointed stars.
"Good my little experiment now let's see if you can defeat me!" (Nobody Theme music starts. Her wand started to blaze and she watched as blue and yellow lights flew into the sphere with a moaning sound. "Spirits of the erased I command you to give me your power!" A red sphere formed in her wand. "ALPHA SOUL!" The sphere flew and converged on Diamond. She leaped and slashed at the orb with her diamond claws but they just seemed to go through it and it smacked her in the chest. She was blown back and almost was impaled as the walls morphed into deadly spikes. But this was no time to take a breath. With an amused cackle Berkana began hurling fiery souls down on Diamond. She leaped to avoid one just to see it turn into two fiery pillars that made their way across the floor. With another cackle Berkana released another volley of fire that turned into pillars of fire. As the pillars closed in on her Diamond encased herself in a diamond shield and waited for the pillars to pass. After they had died down she shattered the diamond sending shards of razor sharp diamond into the air. Berkana dodged and weaved through the shards and formed another sphere, this one blue. "BETA SOUL!" The orb flew at her but Diamond wasn't making the same mistake twice. She ran and leaped over the sphere coming at Berkana with her claws raised. The witch raised her staff to block the attack but wasn't prepared for the retaliation kick that came afterwards. She flew into the wall, which had turned back to normal Flute threw one of her shields the deadly diamond blade nearly decapitating Berkana. Berkana responded by releasing another Alpha soul. Diamond dodged and began making her way back towards Berkana. What she didn't know was that the attack had recoiled off the opposite wall and was now heading straight for her again. Diamond felt the heat and cart wheeled backwards causing the attack to hit Berkana instead. She flew forwards quickly before the wall impaled her and released another Beta Sphere. Diamond brought up her shield to block the sphere but it just phased through the shield knocking Diamond into the air and hurling her into the wall. Good thing it did to because Diamond watched as the floor morphed into spikes as well.
"Close one."
"Not close enough!" Berkana had appeared in front of Diamond and now began to punish her painfully with a flurry of swipes form her wand. Diamond took the beating hard.
Come on! There has to be something I can do. I'm a reploid now and that means I'm stronger and that means I'm better too. Come on there must be something I can do. Wait what's this… Suddenly four small diamonds appeared behind Berkana. "DIAMOND STORM!" Berkana recoiled as the diamonds painfully peppered her with white laser fire. The attack died down and Berkana fell to the floor. She got up and hovered upwards.
"I see that humans are obsolete. Now that my experiment is done I'm not holding back!" She began releasing volleys of attacks, a flood of Alpha and Beta Souls flew at her. But now Berkana had added a new attack. Her wand formed orange spheres which she threw to the ground, creating a barrage of spiked spheres, but something had awoken in Diamond she seemed to flow through the attacks. Now she was untouchable.
"SHADOW CHASER!" Diamond turned into a flickering shadows avoiding the pillars of soul fire and dodging the giant ice soul spikes that dropped form the ceiling and pushed through the ground.
"Hey Berkana!" Berkana whirled to see Diamond streaking towards her, moving so fast she wasn't even affected in any way by the spikes. "The creator is always weaker than the creation!" She leaped above her and thousands of diamonds appeared in front of her and rained down a hail storm of white laser fire. "DIAMOND HURRICANE!" The barrage pummeled Berkana and drove her body down into the spikes and as the spikes pierced through her body Berkana gave one last shriek as she turned to black vapor. The surroundings returned to normal and Diamond collapsed out of pure exhaustion. Suddenly the vapors stopped soaring upward and flew to the ground where they swirled and condensed into a new figure. Berkana had returned to her normal form only now she wasn't hovering she was wearing violet boots and gloves with black thorns along the sides. Her dress had separated and shrunk giving it the effect of a skirt with the gold diamonds going down the sides. As Diamond stepped back Berkana glared at her and a dark scythe materialized in her hand. Its handle was red with black thorns weaving their way upwards before it ended in a violet scythe.
"It's time to reap what you sow my little experiment." Diamond dodged as Berkana dashed towards her and swung the scythe down. She stepped backwards barely avoiding the vicious blows Berkana was unleashing suddenly her other hand shoved its way forward and released a blinding storm of black petals. The petals were razor sharp and really hurt. As she tried to recover from the attack Berkana raised her hand into the air and released another blast of petals these once spreading out in a circle. They smashed into Diamond sending her crashing into the opposite wall. As Diamond lifted herself up Berkana flew at her again and brought her scythe slicing forward attempting to decapitate Diamond. She ducked down avoiding the slice and gave a punishing kick to Berkana's stomach. As she stammered Diamond charged and dealt her a swift upper-cut. Berkana fell to the ground but just as Diamond was preparing for another Diamond Storm she released her Dark Petals again disrupting the attack and damaging Diamond further. As Diamond recovered she leaped up as Berkana's scythe came down where she had been only a second ago. She released another Diamond Storm and watched as Berkana was peppered by laser fire. Berkana crumpled to her knees supporting herself with her scythe. She pulled herself up and stood on the ground shakily.
"Had enough witch?!"
"Not by a long shot." She brought her scythe down on the ground and violet flowed over the floor and black-thorny vines spouted from the ground. They swirled upwards encasing Berkana in a black trunk with giant thorns. Roots suddenly sprouted from the ground and wrapped themselves around Diamond's legs, the thorns causing her immense pain. She encased herself in a block of diamond sending out spikes that shredded the roots to pieces. More thorny roots burst from the ground and began whipping her repeatedly until one of them wrapped itself around her waist and began to squeeze. Diamond fought for breath but the root held her like stone. Finally she encased herself once again and shredded the root and fell to her knees. More thorny roots appeared this time shooting upwards in an attempt to skewer her. She dodged and with her claws shredded the roots. The dark tree stopped attacking with its roots and then decided to attack with its leaves. Razor sharp petals fell to the ground ruining Diamonds vision and causing her pain. In desperation she released another Diamond hurricane the laser fire vaporizing the petals and striking the tree trunk. Cracks began to appear in the armor like bark. Vines began shooting themselves at Diamond attacking her endlessly. Finally vines caught her legs and then her arms and then her midsection and she was pulled towards the tree. Roots rose behind and formed themselves into a compactor and brought themselves down over and over again waiting for Diamond to be smashed under their weight. Diamond struggled but the vines were draining her of her strength making her weaker and weaker and she couldn't muster the strength to encase herself like she had done before. Finally she managed to create diamond protection but only enough to serve as armor. With the last ounces of her strength she shredded the vines with spikes which burst from her armor. Free, she created another Diamond Hurricane. The lasers decimated the rest of the tree. The bark protecting Berkana cracked and exploded turning into black mist and exposing Berkana, struggling to rise to her feet. Diamond dashed forward and using her claws tore her arm through Berkana's middle. Berkana shrieked one last time and turned to vapor. Exhausted Diamond's armor disappeared and she fell to the floor unconscious. She did not see the flurry of red slashes that decimated the wall.
"Wake up." Guilroid's eyes opened to see Sephiron standing in front of him.
"You!" cried Diamond. She tried to rise but fell back with a cry of pain.
"Don't move. If I had come to kill you I would have done so already." He walked over to the wall separating them from the group. "Those two played a cowardly move." He activated his long red beam saber and with a flurry of slashes destroyed the wall. As the rest of the group saw him they raised their weapons but Sephiroth merely turned his back and walked towards the kids. As he walked by Diamond he stopped. "I'm sorry." Then he warped away leaving the kids stunned and speechless.
Pound. Pound. Pound. A giant mammoth was pounding on the wall creating a lot of noise.
"Give it a rest Axl!" Final yelled "All you're doing is giving me a headache!" The mammoth glowed and shrunk down in the form of Axl.
"Hey Marino!" Spider yelled, "Have you made any progress?" Marino had her most powerful weapons the Beam Swords plunged into the wall and was slowly carving through the steel.
"Yeah Spider!" At this rate I should be done, oh maybe, a week form Friday!" She yelled. Suddenly a flurry of slashes cut through the steel like butter dislodging the two beam swords and hurling them into the wall. "What the…" The wall fell in a heap of fragments and everyone saw it was Sephiron who had done so. They raised their weapons but saw Sephiron simply turn his back on them and warp away. Nana charged to where the kids were laying in a heap. They helped them up and got the lowdown on what had happened.
"Ok so just who are you?" Nana asked not at all recognizing Takato in his armor.
"Oh yeah I've still got the armor on!" The armor doesn't immediately disappear but does so none the less. Nana steps back as she sees Takato. Final comes over and examines the bands.
"Hmm. If you had ran the transmogrification grid into your mainframe and not your central core they wouldn't have fused to your body."
"Well for your information I couldn't do that. The mainframe was taken up from the attack and defense data I integrated into the armor."
"So if you had implanted a matrix adapter into your quantum reflex valve you would have been able to install another mainframe.
"Well Ms. Brainiac I didn't have another mainframe and didn't have time to make one because my home was attacked!" Everyone minus Serpro was staring at them with the strangest looks. Clearly they hadn't understood a word they had said. Takato turned just in time to be crushed in the grip of Serpro who was weeping openly. (KH2 Riku Found music starts)
"You're alive! You're alive!" Serpro didn't realize Takato's face was turning blue. Remembering who he was Serpro quickly set him down and gave him time to breathe again.
"Uh who exactly are you?" He said when he had gotten some air back into his lungs.
"Our cousin of course." Guilroid said giving Takato a friendly slap on the back which knocked the wind out of Takato once more. "You just have to look real good at his eyes."
Takato did so and saw the friendly light in Serpro's eyes. The light he had seen whenever they had played together. The three of them Tatsuda, Takato, and Takashi. The three Musketeers who had always enjoyed each others company. The light he thought he would never see again when he heard about Data Central. The light of his cousin. A tear rolled down Takato's cheeks and he embraced Serpro. No his cousin. (If somebody goes Awwwwww they'll get smacked).
"How's our last remaining family members?" laughed Serpro. (music stops suddenly and things turn deathly quiet) Takato looked away, more tears fell from his eyes, tears of anger, and his fists clenched.
"They're gone. They were killed by the Apocalypse Forces. Trying to protect…me"
Ok Takato is my idea in this story but the original Takato belongs to Digimon. Gallantry is based on Gallantmon so I have to give credit there too. And finally Berkana and Gareth's dark techniques belong to Xaldin and Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2. Oh and just so you know Gareth was one who gave Sophia those bruises from before, hence the reason Guilroid got to kick his butt. Same as usual 5 reviews equals next chapter.
