Cybernetic Blue Blur: Battle Redux
Just a little reworked version of the story, set in a different Continuum Shift. Takes place after the One Piece Arc of the original CBB:B!
"All right, everyone, you must have been surprised at the recent chapters," the Narrator chuckled as he shrugged his shoulder, "Well, that's understandable. For we're talking about Master Asia, the Undefeated of the East, and the defending champion of the Gundam Fight. Who would have expected him to be part of the Devil Gundam's forces? You don't have to be Domon Kasshu to find it hard to believe. But destiny has been known to be a cruel beast," the Narrator looked to nearby his left, "And…Let us not forget about the appearance of the final three Kensei, Gorie Yen, Michelle Peng, and Bio Biao, along with GekiOh's destruction caused by Lan's overshadowed time with Kurojishi Rio, temporarily letting Rio turn his Geki into Rinki in order to save Chibodee Cricket, Argo Gulski, George de Sand, and Sai Saichi from the infection of the DG Cells. Now, our young 'alien' Gundam Fighter is traversing through a sacred forest, attempting to locate the legendary SaiDain to replace his destroyed Gundam." He began to smirk a little, "Now, Domon, Allenby, and Heero are heading towards Lan's group in order to team up with them and fight the traitorous master, Allenby and Heero having managed to obtain Kageki the the Three Mountains Battle against the Kensei. Yes, to find the truth that lies beneath."
"Now you're following Lan-tan, Narrator-san?" Matsu called up to the Narrator, who was actually sitting on a tree branch.
"Of course. This is where the battle is starting to be made," the Narrator replied, "And I forgot to mention my name is Stalker."
"Ah. That explains so much," Matsu adjusted her glasses.
"Matsu-chan, what are you doing?" Maylu frowned.
"Talking to Stalker-san up there," Matsu replied as she pointed at Stalker.
"You know that for some reason, only you and Bae can see me," Stalker sweatdropped.
"Mou," Matsu pouted before Maylu pulled her off to the others.
"Let's get things started!" Stalker declared as he threw his jacket and eye patch away, "Gundam Fight all set? Ready? Go!"
'I still can't believe it…' Domon thought as he looked at his right fist, the King of Hearts crest appearing on it for a few seconds, 'Why is Master with the Devil Gundam…with Kyoji?'
Behind the Shining Gundam, Wing Zero in its Flight Mode followed him. Riding on its top was the Nobel Gundam. Following after them were the Dragon Gundam, Bolt Gundam, Gundam Maxter, and Gundam Rose. Inside the Nobel Gundam, Rain was leaning on a side as Allenby piloted it.
"So those crests on the guys' hands are because they're part of this Shuffle Alliance?" Allenby asked.
"Yes, they monitor all fights. It's sad to admit it, but human history is primarily found on battlefields," Rain noted, "The Shuffle Alliance possesses a higher level of skill in various fighting styles. Those that have borne a crest of the Alliance have always witnessed a battle event and have even saved humankind from extinction for numerous occasions."
"That's pretty amazing. I can guess from Argo and Sai Saichi that each member has a different knowledge of fighting," Allenby noted, recalling the fighting styles they had used, before Rain nodded in confirmation and took out a small laptop.
"Domon, are you there?" Rain asked, the screen showing Domon.
"Yeah?" Domon asked before the screen turned split, revealing a Devil Army Unit's upper body, "What?!"
=DOMON KASSHU. I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR DOMON KASSHU FROM THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST, MASTER ASIA=
"How did you get on this line?!" Domon demanded.
=HEAR THIS; COME TO THE BEAST ORIGIN VILLAGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO AS I SAY AND I WILL GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF THIS CITY. BUT ON ONE CONDITION; YOU MUST COME WITH ONLY ALLENBY BEARDSLEY, CHIBODEE CRICKET, GEORGE DE SAND, ARGO GULSKI, SAI SAICHI, AND HEERO YUI. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO BRING THE KENSEI OR ANYONE ELSE. IS THAT CLEAR?=
"I'm already doing that, tin head," Domon scowled.
=MASTER IS CALLING FOR YOU= the Unit said before cutting the communication off.
"…This is between Master and me. Heero, Allenby, when we get you there, stay out of my way," Domon ordered.
"You're still not in prime condition for fighting," Rain argued before Domon turned off the communications link.
"That guy's an idiot," Allenby noted, "Honorable, but still an idiot."
*Cue Music*
Yami o kuraitsukusu soukoku no mori (Within the blue forest consumed by darkness,)
*The screen lit up from darkness, revealing light emerging from linings in the clouds. The camera moved down towards a old, worn road*
Sadame no eda wa hikari motome... susumu (A branch of fate searches for the light...and reaches out.)
*The scene faded in to Lan, slowly tilting his head up. He held up his left hand, revealing a shadowed device. As it zoomed out, a burst of power enveloped him, giving Lan a shadowed armor. The screen spun around to another shadowed figure and then to the both of them standing across from one-another and charged, colliding and covering the screen with green and blue flames. The title, 'CYBERNETIC BLUE BLUR: BATTLE,' blew away the two flames before they converged once more to block the screen*
Taguri yoseta akai ito wa ta ga tame no inochizuna (That red-colored thread you're reeling in, whose life does it hold?)
*It cut to Jasmine through the Pipe Area with Medi-cal and Key-dom, her back towards the camera. It faded in to a back head-shot of her as she turned, turning into Angel. It then cut to Lan walking past a hall of mirror, his reflections being that of a figure in white and a figure in red*
Shinshoku suru kaikoroku wa kimi no shin o mo kuruwaseru yo (While eroding memories are deluding you from the truth,)
*A rose petal flew past the screen, changing the scene to that of Megaman in a rose garden. It cut to a rose petal going by the moon as it turned red. It went back to Megaman as the roses wilted and died as he assumed ImmersionStyle and then Four Beasts Out before doing a kick at the screen*
Mawaru eien o seoi mitsumete (You stare continuously, all the while burdened.)
*It cut to a head shot of Maylu and Roll, their eyes closed while facing each other. They slowly moved so that their faces were facing the screen when Roll's covered Maylu's, the NetNavi/Former Hedgefox transforming into Soul-Style*
Osore FICTION nugisutetara (Renounce this frightening FICTION)
*It cut to the sky as Chi landed behind her, transforming into her massive form and then a blade shaped like her upon impact with the ground before Shining Gundam pulled it out. It cut to a medium shot of Onii-san with a sword made of a drill out at the screen, the blade flashing a bit in the sunlight as he turned into Pirate, before cutting to night as Megaman looked out towards the sea, snow falling around before it flew around him and turned him into FrostSoul.*
Ima, kono mune ni tou (And look inside your heart.)
*It then cut to Rayne and Turbo delivering a Rider Kick at the Evil Ghost Pig while he threw a Ghost Bomb at them, the three attacks colliding in an explosion of flames*
Sabiyuku ENGAGE, karamaru INFINTY (ENGAGE yourself in this intense race to INFINITY.)
*It cut to the Hikari Household where Uzume and Chiyo were taking pictures of Kusano dressed as a phoenix while Haruka and Miya cooked in the background as the Furious Five, Tai Lung, Ace, and Po fought outside. It then cut to a full moon as Lan stood on a Cliffside, performing slashes with a staff-like sword*
Mayoikomu ao no RAGNAROK de dore dake ken o furueru? (Within this chaotic blue RAGNAROK, How long will you wield your blade?)
*It then cut to a hall of mirrors, fifteen shaded figures within them, eight bearing a stylized 'M' above them before they were revealed to be the MagiRangers while the remaining seven had what resembled three claws marks above them. The camera lowered to show Lan looking directly at it with both symbols glowing on the back of his hands. It then cut to MagiGreen being kicked back by the Evil Flame Pig when they villain was side-tackled by Tomba's Doka Pin before it returned to the pink-haired young adult. Roll jumped over Tomba in ElecTeamStyle and sent a duplicate of Musubi and Ace at the screen*
Tamashii o yuzurazu ni (As long as your spirit doesn't give in.)
*It was then the Evil Flame Pig turned into a giant monster of flames that was hit in the 'face' by two giant shaded figures, one was MagiTaurus wielding an axe and the other held a drill*
Urei no MONOCHROME Deguchi no nai sora e (A gloomy MONOCHROME marks a cloudy sky)
*It cut to a shaded figure, only a sneer visible, before zooming out to show a dark background with Maylu, Matsu, and Tabby with their eyes closed and hands in prayer*
Konton ga furisosogu haruka e (And a chaotic maelstrom in the distance.)
*It the cut to another shaded figure ducking an attack sent by GekiOh before an elephant-shaped shaded figure slammed into it and knocked it over. It seemed to split into four parts and separated in order to be connected to GekiOh and released a flash of light*
Sore demo maiagareru ka? (Considering this, will you still attempt to fly?)
*It faded to a figure, smirking in the shadows, as he stood before a massive construct with more smaller Gundams fighting on screens around him, before cutting to the Last Evil Pig/Shinkuro unleashing a series of gold chains at the screen*
Kotae to hikikaeru wa... mirai (To find the answer you must redeem...the future.)
*It cut to Lan and Tomba dodging the chains before five lights engulfed Lan and eight figures with Tomba lunged at the figure before colliding and releasing a flash of light that faded to reveal a black screen*
The Master Gundam flew along the sky, leading a troop of Devil Army Units towards the hidden jungle.
"Domon…" Master Asia chuckled, "You have quite the natural talent for fighting. I'll make sure to recapture Lan and capture Domon before anyone else can interfere. Luckily, it seems that the tracer I had grafted onto his spine is still working. Otherwise, I would not have been able to listen in on what the Kensei had spoken on the legendary SaiDain." He began to chuckle, "With its power, the Devil Gundam will…"
'Master…What in the world happened to you?' Domon thought, 'I have trouble believing this. Master, you were the one who guided me through that rigorous training and taught me the soul of the Martial Artist. Master…'
"Listen, Domon, a martial artist know no limits. His hands are not only used to defeat his opponents. You might wonder what else they are used for."
"Master!"
"Listen; work on improving the thrusting of the hand to its very limits. You will eventually be able to use this skill as a means of expressing your soul."
"Expressing my soul? With this hand…Ah!"
"Ha-hah-ha-hah-ha! Now eat. It will help you grow and become a top martial artist. Yes, so you can express the path you've been on with your own hands."
"Yes, sir."
"Hn…Then answer me; The Undefeated of the East."
"The Wings of the King."
"Zenshin. Keiretsu."
"Tempa Kyoran."
"Look, the East is burning red!"
"So why are we not stopping?" Matsu asked as Lan carried her down a slope.
"Because Master Asia is most likely after SaiDain. But how is he following us?" Jasmine pondered as Key-Dom and Medi-Cal flew down.
"Big trouble!" Medi-Cal exclaimed, "We were able to spy on Master Asia and we overheard he has a tracking device on Lan!"
"What?" Sharkie Chan gasped while Lan, having dropped Matsu gently when they got to the bottom, had begun to scratch his back against a tree.
"You've been itchy ever since we got here," Maylu frowned, "…Take off your shirt."
"Eh?!" Lan gasped with a heavy blush.
"Not like that, Lan-kun!" Maylu sighed before turning him around and lifting his shirt and vest up, revealing a small, barely noticeable bulge on his spine, "That is new."
"Medi-Cal," Jasmine snapped her left hand's fingers.
"You got it," Medi-Cal nodded before flying over to Lan and began to scan the bulge through her visor, "He has a tracking and listening device on him. It's grafted to his spine."
"So removing it is a bad idea if he wants to be able to continue not being paraplegic," Jasmine frowned, "We'll need to shock it with something."
"I'm on it. Perhaps a small pulse of Chaos Energy will…" Maylu began as she gently placed a hand on the bulge, sending a pulse of Chaos Energy into it before Lan grunted at a small bit of pain that went through him.
"What?!" Master Asia scowled as his iPad showed 'SIGNAL LOST' on its screen before recalling the last words before the signal was lost, 'Chaos Energy?' he looked up in the sky to see the Shining Gundam-Tachi flying across the sky, 'Hmm…'
"We're here!" Sharkie beamed.
"That is one big tree!" Matsu exclaimed in awe.
Roughly a mile away from them, they could see a tree as tall as a skyscraper.
"That's the JyuGenKyou, the Beast Origin Village," Sharkie Chan explained, "In there is JyuKenShin SaiDain!"
Lan looked at the SoZyuTo in his hands and grinned. Sharkie Chan bowed towards the giant tree in the distance.
"This…This is where I learned Jyuken 5000 years ago," everyone looked at the Shark-Ken Master, "This is the exact spot where GekiJyuKen started, while the tree may have been planted 1000 years ago, it was the the seed of the original tree that stood there for 4000 years. This is where I learned under JyuKen Creator Brusa Ee. It is his Promised Land."
"No wonder Lan hasn't been trying to jump along the trees," Jasmine noted.
"5000 years ago, the JyuKen of my fellow Kensei and I resonated with Master's, so we gathered and became his pupils. All ten of us," Sharkie Chan nodded, "The one that was the best of us ten students was gonna be his successor, Maku."
"Maku?"
"Oh, that's right! We never told you about the Kenma!" Sharkie Chan noted sheepishly, "There were originally ten Kensei before three betrayed the school and formed RinJyuKen Akugata, declaring themselves the three Kenma! They killed Master and we ended up with the GekiRin Rebellion that split JyuKen into two schools! They were too strong, so we had to use the forbidden Geki Waza, JyuJyu Zenshin Hen, and ended up like we are now. We accepted out fates since it meant we were able to stop their schemes. We barely won. Shafu used the SoZyuTo to carve SaiDain while our Master's Geki Tamashii went into it. Even though Master Brusa Ee is gone, he can still guide those learning JyuKen. SaiDain has the power to unlock the hidden abilities of those who learn JyuKen." He sighed, "Sadly, since we Kensei used the forbidden Geki Waza, we cannot be blessed with that power."
"Same…" Lan whispered before grinning and posing, "Shakkin! Same is powerful even without that power! Same is Lan's Sensei."
"Lan…" Sharkie Chan sniffled before rubbing his tears, "Come on! Let's get to SaiDain quickly!"
"Yosha!" Lan declared before the girls yelped as he lifted them up, "Ikuze! Ikuze! Ikuze!"
"He's gotten quite strong here," Jasmine noted as Lan and Sharkie ran off, Lan carrying the girls.
"Hai," Maylu and Matsu nodded in amazement.
"Rose Rain!" George roared out as his Rose Gundam released its Rose Bits to destroy more of the enemy Gundam while Bolt Gundam swung his gravity hammers to crush more of them near Rose Gundam and itself.
GekiElephant bellowed as it trampled a Devil Army Gundam as Wing Zero EW flew overheard, shooting other members of the army. Rain yelped as she had the Nobel Gundam jump out of the way and send an energy ribbon at three enemy Gundam units, tearing their heads off, before using an energy hoop to tear through the cockpit areas and incinerating the Devil Gundam Pilots. Two tried to get her from behind when Gundam Maxter crushed one with a one-two assault of boxing punches as Dragon Gundam used his staffs to impale the other. Nearby, Master Gundam stood across from Shining Gundam. The two assumed fighting positions and charged at each other.
"We're here!" Sharkie cheered as the two stopped running, stopping before a large set of doors connected to a temple that seemed to be growing the tree.
"It's amazing," Maylu awed before a rainbow-colored barrier appeared.
"What's this?" Jasmine asked.
"This is the barrier we made to only let those that have been near the SoZyuTo go into the sacred grounds," Sharkie Chan explained.
Lan nodded. He held the blade into the air and the gems on it glowed. The barrier shattered into bits of multicolored dust. The temple's door before them slid open to reveal a set of stairs. The six flinched as a wave of Geki erupted from the entrance.
"What is this Geki?" Medi-Cal pondered, "It feels warm…like a father's hand on your shoulder when he's proud of you."
"Come on!" Sharkie Chan shouted as he began to run up the stairs.
"There's too many!" Nobel yelped as she barely used her ribbon to block an attack sent at her.
"Dammit!" Maxter growled as he uppercutted a Devil Army member.
"Is this our end?" Rose pondered.
"Gigaaaaaaa…Driiiilllllll…Breaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!-!-!"
"Hm?" Bolt turned to the east to see a massive drill tearing through the Devil Army before dispersing and a figure in a sleek black racing suit with a moto-cross mask/helmet over his head landed on his shoulder.
"Yo," Turbo greeted with a salute with his pointer and index fingers of the right hand.
A Devil Army Gundam made a single step towards Nobel before it was bisected down the middle. The faint image of a knife that was overlapping Rayne's left leg vanished as she lowered it. She took a small inhale from her lit cinnamon stick and exhaled the cinnamon fumes.
"I love the smell of cinnamon and giant robot battles in the morning," Rayne noted.
"What was that? Who are you two?" Nobel pondered as GekiElephant dispersed and GekiYellow landed beside Rayne.
"You're Rayne Adamant, aren't you?" GekiYellow asked.
"Heh. Seems someone knows me," Rayne smirked as she looked at the Devil Army, "Heh. Compared to the Gourmet Beasts of the Gourmet World, these guys are little gnats."
Rayne made a small twirl and a hundred of the Gundam were torn to perfectly sliced pieces. Turbo jumped into the air as flames made of Spiral Energy erupted from him. Had anyone noticed, they would have seen a faint blue outline to the Spiral Energy.
"Burning…Highway…Rush Hour!" Turbo roared.
With that, he began to spin like a wheel, unleashing the Spiral Energy in the shapes of multiple vehicles typically using the highways, including a few eighteen-wheelers. The attacks took down a hundred more, burning them to the point of melting.
"Hey, hey, hey! Easy of the fire, buddy!" Rayne snapped into a device on her arm.
=My apologies, Lady Rayne= Turbo's voice emanated from it =I forgot that the armor of these creatures is not like the hide of some Gourmet World Beasts= Turbo landed beside GekiYellow, "It is a shame that we're not back there. I loved it."
"Same here, buddy, but we need to stop it. Everything counts on that event not happening again," Rayne informed before looking at her device, "Schwartz, you're on with Domon!"
=Very well= a voice replied on her device.
"Who was that?" GekiYellow asked as Wing Zero landed and Super GekiBlue jumped out.
"What's going on?" Super GekiBlue pondered.
"We're backup," Rayne replied with a smirk before the area rumbled, "Damn. That Gundam is coming."
"That Gundam?" GekiYellow repeated before gasping, "You mean…?!"
"GekiYellow-sama, I suggest you and Super GekiBlue call forth GekiPenguin and GekiGazelle."
"Who and who?" the two GekiRangers repeated as GekiYellow turned into Super GekiYellow.
"Ugh…" Rayne sighed before holding up a BattleCard, "Trust me, just focus on your Geki like you would to summon GekiBat, GekiShark, or GekiBat and turn it into a penguin or a gazelle depending on you two. Turbo'll provide the final part."
"Me?" Turbo blinked.
"My card, yet only you can use it," Rayne frowned, causing Turbo to sigh.
"Uh…How do you know about Geki?"
"I study," Rayne replied as she displayed a holographic screen of GekiTiger, GekiBat, GekiElephant, GekiShark, GekiElephant, a yellow, white, and black GekiPenguin on a white flying board, a blue, black, orange, and silver GekiGazelle on orange wheels and springs in the legs, a blue, blue, and orange GekiJaguar with goggles, a yellow, white, and black GekiCheetah, and a black, red, and orange GekiGorilla on skates.
"A-Amazing…!" Super GekiYellow awed.
"Indeed. Super GekiYellow, summon GekiPenguin. Super GekiBlue, call out GekiGazelle. Turbo will operate GekiGorilla and then you three focus on uniting the three with Jyuken Gattai."
"JyuKen Gattai?" Super GekiBlue repeated.
"…If your GekiRed is White Boss, then…ano…Oh! Go 'wakiwaki dekadeka!'" Rayne informed.
"Lan-kun?" Maylu and Matsu pondered as Lan stopped and looked out.
"Ally-chan…Heero-Niisan," Lan whispered before he turned into GekiRed, "Super Beast On!"
"Wh-What are you doing?!" Sharkie yelped as Super GekiRed began to go through various kata.
"Kageki ni Unbreakable Body! Super GekiRed!"
"Kageki ni Honest Hear! Super GekiYellow!" Super GekiYellow declared as the ports on her erupted with Kageki.
"Kageki ni Fantastic Technique! Super GekiBlue!" Super GekiBlue called out as his ports erupted in Kageki, Super GekiRed appearing in a semi-transparent image.
"Lan!" Super GekiYellow gasped before he nodded at them and the three thrust their Super GekiClaw out as one before slowing bringing it over their hearts.
"Our seething Kageki is for Justice! JyuKen Sentai!" all three declared in unison as they went through a final united kata, ending in a triangle formation, "GekiRanger!"
"Minna, you can do it!" Super GekiRed roared before he vanished.
Cue: Kageki – Theme of Super GekiRangers
"GekiGorilla! BattleCard Predation!" Rayne shouted as she slashed a card through her device.
"GekiWaza: Bai-Bai Bushin!" the two Super GekiRangers declared.
In a burst of Kageki, the three were replaced. In their place were three GekiBeasts. GekiGorilla roared as he banged his torso as GekiPenguin teetered on her board with GekiGazelle braying in joy of battle.
"Whoa…" Chibodee awed.
"Is this the new power that only Kageki can use?" George pondered.
"It's so cool!" Sai Saichi awed.
"Power, speed, and technique blended into one," Rain gasped, noticing all three in each GekiBeast, "It's completely different from before! Is this kageki at its true power?"
=It is= each Gundam Fighter near the Super GekiBeasts turned to see a screen showing the Kensei on it with Shafu speaking =It's surpassing your limits using powerful emotion and your comrades' powers. The released Kageki from that is no halfhearted thing=
"Lan, why are you in your Super Beast On?" Maylu pondered.
"Ally-chan and Heero-Niisan are there, fighting the Devil Army. They're not losing! They will protect!" Super GekiRed declared as he picked up everyone and began to rocket up the stairs with his Kageki flaring from the ports as thrust, "So I won't be slow! I will get up these stairs no matter what! Super Tiger Geki!"
"It's fantastic!" Bae cheered as he shot out of a hidden container in Nobel Gundam, "There they are! The ultimate Geki! The power from surpassing one's limits! It can't be! GekiJyu Fly-ken Bae can't get enough!"
"Let's go!" the Super GekiBeasts declared as they began to charge towards the Devil Army.
"Just how will the Super GekiBeasts fight?" Bae pondered as he flew into Rose Gundam's control room, "What do you think, George de Sand?"
"I am unsure, but I feel with them here, the tide will turn in our favor," George replied.
"Jet Mode!" Super GekiYellow declared.
GekiPenguin raced across the sky, leaving behind a wire of Kageki. GekiGorilla roared as he used the 'wire' to swing towards the Devil Army.
"As White-Dono would say back then; this is Gori-Gori!" Turbo roared as he swung into the center of the army, flattening two of them.
"Amazing! Amazing!" Bae commentated inside Dragon Gundam as GekiGorilla began to spin his arms and tore apart the Devil Army members around him before GekiGazelle raced by in a blue and silver blur, destroying more in his path, "GekiGorilla's powerful arms and GekiGazelle's kick power!"
"Right now we're seeing something super awesome!" Sai Saichi cheered.
GekiGorilla roared as he began to swipe at the Devil Army before grabbing two of them and slamming them together. GekiGazelle turned around and unleashed a barrage of high-speed back-kicks at the Devil Army units, sending them flying off into the distance in miniscule pieces. All over the sky, GekiPenguin flew around and gracefully avoiding the shots of the Devil Army as the five operated Gundam began to join in the fight, taking down more Gundam.
"Now! Gazelle Kick! Penguin Dan!" Super GekiBlue declared.
"GekiGazelle has kicked GekiPenguin Jet Mode!" Bae commentated in the Nobel Gundam, "And…"
"GekiWaza! Gori-Gori Ha!" GekiGorilla roared as GekiGorilla began to slam his fists onto his chest.
"GekiGorilla's beats has become a destructive wave! GekiPenguin Jet Mode's riding the waves! Yes!" Bae cheered as he stayed on Rain's shoulder, "It's a dreamlike combination attack! The Devil Army's losing strength!"
"Yes!" Rain cheered before she gasped at seeing three of the Devil Army units fused into a slightly larger one with six arms and six legs in the form of a horse.
"How can this be?! Three of the Devil Army units have combined into a Devil Sleiphnir!" Bae cried out, "Foul play!"
"Come on, you three…" Rayne growled as she stood on a pile of sliced-apart Devil Army units, "You can go even further, GekiYellow, GekiBlue. Jyuken Gattai!"
"Lady GekiYellow, Sir GekiBlue, focus on the thought of the GekiBeasts uniting as one. Combine the JyuKen into one!" Turbo called out.
"If Lan were here, he'd probably say something like 'Let's go with a bikibiki!'" Super GekiYellow giggled.
"JyuKen Gattai!" all three GekiBeasts declared.
The sides of GekiGorilla's torso split off and connected to the shoulders to form guards. The fronts of his lower arms twisted to the sides, revealing flame patterns had been hidden under them. The remaining silver part of his torso flipped open, revealing a fiery emblem was hidden beneath. GekiPenguin hopped onto her belly as the front of her board went off into the air. Her board snapped around her, making her into a right leg, as GekiGazelle's arms flipped into his body as he became a left leg. The two legs connected to GekiGorilla's legs, forming new stronger legs. GekiGorilla's head flipped back to reveal a more humanoid head with yellow optics. The board piece went over it to form a black fiery helmet with an orange visor and a flame-design crest. The new warrior swung its arms before assuming a pose.
"GekiFire, Burning Up!" the three within the new formation declared.
"I didn't know the GekiBeasts could do that," Sai Saichi gawked.
"Holy cow!" Chibodee exclaimed.
"A harmonious burning combination," George noted as Argo grunted in agreement as he crushed two Devil Army units.
"GekiJyuKen's Super GekiWaza's GekiFire has appeared!" Bae cheered as he flew into the Shining Gundam.
"What are you doing here?!" Domon demanded as he ducked under a kick sent at him.
"This is so amazing. Amazing!" Bae cheered.
Devil Sleiphneir fired a beam of purple energy at GekiFire. The JyuKen Giant began to walk towards the combined Devil Army unit, brushing off the attack.
"Let's go!" the trio within declared.
With that, GekiFire began a barrage of cross strikes to Devil Sleiphnir. Each strike caused sparks to fall off it. It was able to dodge one only for the land the fist hit to go up in a large dust and dirt explosion.
"What power! The burning Kageki, GekiFire, is overwhelming!" Bae commented on Master Asia's head.
"You're quite annoying," Master Asia noted as he sent an energy ribbon at Shining Gundam, the Neo Japan Gundam barely blocking it with a beam sword, before the two jumped back as the Devil Sleiphneir slammed into the cliff-side they were before.
"Devil Sleiphnir is shaking!" Bae commentated as the combined Devil Army unit began to get up while the two fighting Gundam landed nearby, "Now, do it! Finish him!"
"GekiFire! GekiWaza! Gan Gan Knuckle Otoshi!"
GekiFire began to change 'Gan' as it began to spin its arms quickly. The lower arms and fists erupted in Kageki-made flames. GekiFire slammed them repeatedly into Devil Sleiphnir. GekiFire walked past the combined Devil Army unit.
"Fire!" all three posed as the combined unit exploded behind them, "GekiFire, Win!"
"GekiFire did it! What an amazing JyuKen Giant's debut battle!" Bae cheered on Bolt Gundam's head before the ground rumbled, "Wh-What's that!?"
Master Gundam began to chuckle, "He's here. It's Resurrection Time for the Devil Gundam."
"What?!" Shining gasped.
"Yes…Someone is about to be resurrected," Master replied before a beam of red light erupted from the ground 10 kilometers away from GekiFire, cracks emanating from it.
The ground erupted in a massive explosion as a massive scarlet cocoon emerged. The cocoon appeared to be organic, yet a closer inspection revealed it was actually metallic. A part of it cracked open, releasing the upper half of the Devil Gundam along with its pincers.
"I get it now," Rain gasped as Nobel pointed at the Devil Gundam, "Look at it. Just like an insect that changes its appearance through its life, the Devil Army was made to protect the Devil Gundam as it was transforming and healing itself from its reentry into Earth last year while it was also relocating after us to find the replacement for GekiOh. Right now, it's in the middle of the process like a caterpillar in its cocoon."
"But…What happened to its forces besides the 2000 here?" Dragon asked before gasping as he saw the remaining Devil Army units began to turn into slime and go into the 'cocoon.'
"I am not going to be able to unsee that image for the rest of my life," Baxter shuddered.
"So many lives lost," Rose gasped, "So many lives taken just to help evolve this beast."
"The only thing he never planned…the only thing Master Asia ever planned was for Domon to show up," Nobel spoke.
"I hope that you're speechless after seeing how wonderful this is," Master noted as he stood before the Devil Gundam, "That's right, unlike the others, I am not controlled by anyone. I was moved by the sheer strength of the Devil Gundam and I decided on my own to follow its ways."
"Now that makes sense," Maxter noted.
"This is the end, Master Asia!" Maxter, Dragon, Rose, and Bolt declared, earning a laugh from Master Asia.
"That's a lot of talk coming from such rookies," Master Asia informed.
"So what?! I could care less about if you're the defending champion or what! I'm not scared to take you on right now!" Cricket declared as he engaged his Gundam's Boxing Mode when GekiFire stopped him.
"This isn't the time for that. Right now, Master Asia is Domon-san's opponent," Turbo informed from GekiFire, "We will handle the Devil Gundam while he battles the Master Gundam."
"I think not! School of Master Asia: Juni Ohopai Daishahei!" Master Gundam roared out before he made ten copies of himself.
"Aw crud," was the response of Maxter before the ten charged.
"Why is there a pond like this in the treetop?!" Maylu pondered in surprise.
"Uh, Maylu-tan, you may want to see this," Matsu gawked as she tugged on Maylu's sleeve.
Maylu turned to where the others were looking and gasped in awe. On the other side of the lake was a massive stone rhino. It had rounded spikes on the shoulders and a large sword-like blade of stone for a horn.
"This is JyuKenShin SaiDain?" Jasmine pondered.
It was then the SoZyuTo's blade began to pulse with a gold energy. The same energy pulsed on SaiDain's horn. The eyes of SaiDain began to glow before the statue began to rumble, releasing a strong Geki.
"Howahowa…" Lan whispered with a small smile.
"Howahowa?"
"It feels warm, like hug from parents," Lan replied, "It's howahowa. Iie. It's Sawasawa! The Sawasawa…is so very good!"
"A refreshing atmosphere," Jasmine noted.
"It makes me open my eyes," Matsu noted, "I feel like I'm filled with vitality!"
"Lan, it is time to meet Master," Sharkie Chan informed before Lan nodded.
Slowly, Lan walked up to SaiDain. He held out the SoZyuTo to the statue before the eyes of SaiDain glowed and released a pulse of Geki that slammed into Lan. Slowly, the Geki began to fade away and SaiDain's eyes glowed before his stone body transformed into a brilliant blend of silvers, whites, gold, and cobalt. SaiDain's red eyes flashed before it roared.
"Sugoi…SaiDain is pikapika," Lan awed, "He moves now! Sugoi! Hm?"
The gems on the SoZyuTo glowed before it released a strange device. It was shaped to resemble an oversized red, silver, and white hand. Lan caught it with his free hand, noticing the outer side of it sported the GekiRanger symbol.
"Oh! I know that blade! That the Saikyō Henshin Shutō SaiBlade! With SaiBlade, Beast On to GekiChopper. Turn the blade and it becomes SaiBlade Cutter. It can cut almost anything!" Sharkie Chan explained, "It seems that SaiDain wants to be piloted only by GekiChopper or someone who uses that weapon."
"GekiChopper?" Maylu repeated as Lan looked at it.
"Gudaguda Harehare Ken-Sempai…Arigatou," Lan smiled a bit, "I'll use the Bishibishi Pikiin Geki KenSan."
"Ken?!" Sharkie Chan gasped, "Wait…Geki KenSan?!"
"What are you talking about?" Matsu asked.
"Geki KenSan is all about making your Geki as hard as a diamond and sharp and pointed," Sharkie Chan explained quickly, "It's a genius Geki Waza because it was the basis for Master's JyuKen, Rhinoceros-Ken!"
"Ossu!" Lan declared as he flipped the push handle on the top of his SaiBlade ahead, "Togisumase (Become Sharp)! Kemono no Yaiba (Blade of the Beast)!" He posed with the GekiRanger symbol being shown ahead with his right hand's pinky and closest finger to the pinkie were on a button on the SaiBlade, "Beast On!"
With that, he pressed the button. Orange energy ribbons erupted from the SaiBlade and covered Lan. They blazed with Geki before turning into a white jumpsuit with a red sash-like belt, black pointed shoulders, and a strange symbol on the left side of the torso resembling the GekiRangers' Symbol with a curve strike going through it, almost in a 'J' shape. On the center of the upper half of his torso and his neck were covered in an orange colored part of the jumpsuit. A white helmet formed over his head, designed to resemble a white rhino with a silver mouthguard and a black visor. He pulled back the push handle and began to go through various kata.
"Polishing the Sai (Talent/Rhinoceros)! I cut open my future! Amazing Ability! GekiChopper!" the new GekiRanger form Lan had declared before the group heard groaning.
"Eep!" Matsu yelped as she saw DG Cell-covered skeleton warriors entering from the only conventional exit.
"Ike!" GekiChopper declared as he charged.
CUE: OSSU! GEKICHOPPER – THEME OF GEKICHOPPER
He punched one of the soldiers in the face with the SaiBlade before slashing another with its blade. He spun and nailed two more soldiers before kicking another one in his way. He caught a punch one sent before tossing it at the others. He grabbed one by the shoulder before chopping it with his SaiBlade.
"SaiBlade Finger!" GekiChopper declared as orange spikes appeared on the 'fingertips' of the SaiBlade, "Nen Nen Dan!"
He 'chopped' and released the spikes, striking through various members of the Devil Army Grunts. He continued to fire until he got the majority of the grunts, causing them all to explode as he posed.
"What is this?" Jasmine pondered.
"It's Geki KenSan! As Lan would say, 'it's Wakiwaki!'" Sharkie Chan cheered before screaming at seeing another grunt charging at them.
"Don't worry. Here comes the highlight of being GekiChopper without fighting with SaiDain," GekiChopper assured, "Let me show you all the power of GekiJyu Rhinoceros-Ken! SaiBlade Finger! Chou Nen Nen Dan!"
The five 'fingers' glowed before making a single large 'rhino horn.' More of the grunts began to show up and GekiChopper fired the horn. It tore through multiple grunts in its path before they all exploded, taking more out.
"So can I end you now?" GekiChopper asked the last grunt, "SaiBlade Cutter!"
The blade on his weapon flashed before flipping outwards, extending to cover the fingers. The last grunt growled before lifting up a boulder and threw it. GekiChopper roared as he sliced through the boulder multiple times with what appeared to be a single chop. Geki began to flare around GekiChopper as the 'fingers' began to flash with an orange light.
"GekiWaza! Ei Ei Tou!" GekiChopper declared before performing a vertical chop, "Chesto!"
The chop sent out an energy slash that went through the last grunt. GekiChopper turned away from the grunt before it exploded. GekiChopper let out an excited noise.
"Kirekire. Sugei! Ossu!" GekiChopper cheered before turning to SaiDain, "Yosha! Let's go!"
"The impudence of the King of Hearts is clear to me," Master Gundam informed as he looked to see all the Gundam were on the ground, many of them missing limbs except for the bound Shining Gundam, held by two Master Gundam copies, "The Shuffle Alliance of the other side must be crying tears of regret! I figured I could stall for some time so that the great man who pilots this Gundam could recover, but I find I'm just wasting my talents. I guess there's nothing much left to do except finishing you all off!"
Just as the Master Gundam was about to fire his left claws at the Shining Gundam, his two copies binding him had their heads sliced off my a moving image of the land, "I won't allow it."
"Took your damn time!" Rayne snapped as she and Turbo landed on the shoulders of the image as it took on the appearance of Shadow Gundam Spiegel.
"Sorry about that," SGS apologized before he laughed, "Master Asia…Undefeated of the East…I will not allow you to have your way."
"What do you mean by that? Who are you?" Master Asia demanded.
"I am Schwarz Bruder, representative of Neo Germany," the masked figure informed inside his Gundam, "This is the Shadow Gundam Spiegel. On its shoulders are my allies, Rayne Adamant and Turbo Adamant."
"What? What's this about?" Domon pondered aloud.
"Why should it make any difference when the playing field gives me one extra brat to get rid of?" Master Asia growled.
"It's not just me," SGS 'smirked' before a barrage of drills knocked over Master Gundam as Gurren Lagann emerged from the ground.
"Phew! Made it!" Lagann smirked as he turned to SGS, "Thanks for the repairs of Gurren Lagann, you two."
"No prob, Onii-san!" Rayne replied.
SGS rushed at Master Gundam and used his thrusters to jump into the air. With a twitch of his lower arms, the Bruder had the SGS flip its blades out. Master Gundam formed a shield with his energy ribbon, only for sparks to erupt as the blade collided.
"You're good. You said it was 'Schwartz Bruder?' I'll make sure to remember your name!" Master Asia declared before he pulled one of his blades into a binding of his energy scarf before jumping over the Neo Germany rep's Gundam to avoid being tackled in the side by Gurren Lagann.
"What? This guy is able to fight at the same level as Master…" Domon gasped before he, Master Asia, Onii-san, and Schwartz tensed and looked to the East, "What?" Domon looked around, "Something…Something's coming. Something powerful…"
A roar echoed in the area. The Devil Gundam turned only to be struck by SaiDain, its horn doubled in size. The Devil Gundam tumbled over as SaiDain walked by it.
"Okay, stop!" GekiChopper ordered as SaiDain halted, "Oi, minna!"
"Lan?!" Allenby and Heero gasped.
"It's huge!" Rain gasped as she managed to get out of the Nobel Gundam, her arm covering the torn part of her Mobile Trace System at her bosom.
"It's power is overwhelming," Domon whispered.
"This is SaiDain! Ore JyuKen no Kami da!" GekiChopper declared, "Shawashawa!"
SaiDain roared before a white light erupted from its horn. The light dispersed in a light-made rain, landing all over the area.
"This is Master Brusa Ee-sama's Geki Tamashii," Sharkie informed as the ones that had been with Lan watched nearby, the 'rain' showering over them as well.
"I…I feel strange," Maylu admitted.
"Matsu feels it, too," Matsu admitted.
"I feel stronger for some reason," Medi-Cal noted.
"Hai, hai!" Key-Dom added.
It was then the two Wizards glowed and changed appearance. Medi-Cal had changed to a young woman around Jasmine's age. Her violet hair was done up into four medical pill-shaped buns on the back of her head while a pink-tinted visor covered her eyes. She wore a slender nurse/doctor fusion's outfit.
Key-Dom had turned into a girl the same age as Jasmine as well. She wore a gold Chinese fighting outfit and gold Chinese fighting slippers. On her back was a large key-like sword with 'crown' teeth and a chain on the bottom of the hilt that ended with a gold drill. Her white hair had been done up into a braided ponytail ending with a key-like knife connected to it.
"We…We changed back into our NetNavi forms," Medi-Cal gasped as she and Key-Dom looked at themselves.
"Did we evolve or devolve?" Key-Dom pondered.
"It falls upon all those who have the soul of a warrior, giving them greater power…It is Master's way of thinking," Sharkie Chan informed, "This is the Beast Power Bloom."
"This is interesting," Nazo noted inside Gurren's cockpit before crying out as his body began to change as well.
"Nazo!" Alexander gasped as he turned on a screen, eyes widening in shock at what he saw.
In the pilot seat for Gurren was a figure that was clad ear to toe in a pure black bodysuit that seemed to absorb all light that came into contact with it. Decorating it was an array of glowing red lines arranged in a way that made it resemble articulated armor, specifically from his shoulders to his wrists and his hips to his ankles. While the torso and waist were more flexible in appearance, the only "articulating" line was a single red dash going around the figure's waist like a belt.
Similar lines ran down the sides of his extremities, dividing his biceps, forearms, thighs, and calves between front and back, a number of indention with pulsing red cores causing the figure's body to resemble one covered with eyes. Six "eyes" were located on the sides of his forearms and calves, three on each side, while four were located on his biceps and thighs, two on each side.
His hands and feet were covered light gray, skillfully allowing his fingers and toes to articulate without even the slightest degree of inhibition. A number of golden drills in varying size with inward-running black threads decorated his form, and as he stood those familiar with the NetNavi ElecMan drew parallels between the two's profiles, but with differences.
Jutting out of the sides of the figure's wrists and ankles at the join were small golden drills an inch in length. Mounted on his shoulders and pointing away from his core were another two drills, these a foot in length with inward-running threads a quarter-inch thick. Sprouting from a quartet of "pits" in his back, located just above his lumbar and below his shoulder blades were a number of threaded drills like the ones on his shoulders, a number of inch-long drills running down a flexible, armored carapace running the course of his spine.
Despite the fact that Nazo was an FMian once before, the shape he had assume was now, somehow, confirmed to be his NetNavi form, because of the NaviMarks resting on the sides of his head like MegaMan_EXE's, and one like a belt buckle similar to how Colonel_EXE wore his. Held within was a thin logarithmic black spiral, running counter-clockwise over a golden face, resembling the drills adorning his body. Working the cricks out of his neck, the once-FMian-now-NetNavi inhaled deeply through his nose, something he didn't possess as a denpa-based lifeform, allowing a grin to pull itself across his features.
–Actually, it's Thorn– the figure chuckled –I wonder how this could've happened. I haven't been able to turn into this form for years–
"Yosha! I'm getting more and more power!" GekiChopper declared, "JyuKen KyoJin! Appear!"
The gem on SaiDain's back erupted with light as it seemed to absorb GekiChopper. The body began to turn around to have it standing on its hind legs, the backs of them facing ahead to make them lower humanoid legs. The upper legs separated from the body and then combined with the lower half to form a bit of a kilt-like item. The upper half of the body revealed a cobalt torso with gold armor and a ruby orb in the center.
"Minna-sama, this is amazing!" Bae informed, "Who could have imagined this? SaiDain is standing up!"
SaiDain's eyes flashed before its head became a large sword with the neck becoming arms. The new head that was revealed was white with a gold and black facemask. It glowed before splitting in the middle, revealing a second, red and silver head with a sculpted nose and lips.
"Gigantic, enormous, tall, the biggest!" Bae continued as a large cobalt shield with a gold symbol for 'Dai' appeared in the free hand, "This is JyuKen KyoJin SaiDaiOh!"
"SaiDaiOh Kenzan!" GekiChopper's voice erupted from it as he stood within a black space with the floor covered by a mist and multiple pillars were in the background, "Sugoi! Gowangowan Daindain!"
"It's huge!" Rain gasped.
"It's actually equal level with the Devil Gundam in height," Heero compared.
"This is…JyuKen's God?" Allenby awed.
"A JyuKen no Kami is inferior to the Devil Gundam's power!" Master Gundam declared.
"Shut up! SaiDaiKen!" SaiDaiOh declared as he blocked the left lobster-like claw of the Devil Gundam with his shield before slicing the limb clean off.
"Large, heavy, and powerful! SaiDaiOh takes the Devil Gundam's hits and returns them!" Bae exclaimed as the Devil Gundam began to unleash a barrage of laser shots at SaiDaiOh, making it use its shield in defense, "But the Devil Gundam hasn't given up! SaiDaiOh is in a pinch!"
SaiDaiOh began to slowly approach the Devil Gundam, the outer mask fusing together once more. More shots engulfed the JyuKen God, making it unable to be seen.
"No, wait a moment," Bae gasped as SaiDaiOh emerged, "SaiDaiOh guarded against Devil Gundam's attack. Or, rather, he didn't feel it at all?!"
"This battle is going to be won by us! Domon-san!" SaiDaiOh turned its head to Domon, "Hissatsu Time!"
"Right!" Domon declared as his Gundam began entering its Super Mode.
"SaiDaiOh! Geki Waza: SaiDai Bakuren!"
With that, SaiDaiOh slammed his sword into the ground and swung it. An energy surge raced through the ground and caused a small explosion beneath the Devil Gundam.
"Devil Gundam is sent backwards!" Bae exclaimed, "And Shining Gundam has finished entering the Super Mode!"
"The Hissatsu Waza!" SaiDaiOh declared.
"Right! This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! It's loud roar tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love! My anger! And all of my sorrow! Shining Finger Swooooord!-!-!"
"SaiDaiOh! GekiWaza!" SaiDaiOh declared as his blade erupted with a gold light, performing three slashes to make the symbol on his shield, "Dai Dai SaiDai Giri!"
"This is a miraculous combination killer attack! It's truly God-Level!" Bae cheered as the attacks fused and collided and impacted with the Devil Gundam, causing a massive explosion.
"They did it!" Jasmine cheered as she, Medi-Cal, and Key-Dom hugged each other and squealed in victory.
"SaiDaiOh and Shining Gundam Win!" SaiDaiOh declared before hearing a loud roar, "Nani?"
"Beautiful," Master Gundam chuckled, "It was able to absorb the power of their combined attack!"
"The Dark Gundam is rising," George gulped.
"I'm not sure whether to be amazed or terrified," Cricket admitted.
"Well fuck us," Rayne scowled as Schwartz narrowed his eyes.
"So…So this is Kyoji's…" Domon trembled as a shadow came over SaiDaiOh and Shining Gundam.
The figure of the Devil Gundam was massive, easily twice the height of SaiDaiOh. Its original body was connected to a mass of black cables, going into a more massive bronze insectoid body littered with red spikes. At the ends of each foot was a series of tainted green tentacles. Sitting on the right shoulder of the main body was none other than Kyoji.
"That guy, he's…!" Chibodee began.
"That's the man in the photo that Domon was carrying," George finished for him.
"Kyoji Kasshu…" Maylu gulped.
"It…It's you, Kyoji…" Shining Gundam gasped as Kyoji looked down at him, "Brother…"
"Watch out!" Shining Gundam was tackled over by Neo Germany's Gundam before a massive red beam erupted from the green gem on the original body of the Gundam, nearly hitting SaiDaiOh, making him cry out in pain from the mere presence of the power it had before being sent into a mountainside, turning back into SaiDain.
"SaiDaiOh was defeated by just the presence?!" Bae screamed before the beam hit the tree that SaiDain had originally rested, filling the area with a red light that faded, revealing the tree and a good few miles around its radius had been turned into a molten crater, "The sacred spot! Not again!"
"Domon! Take a good look at its body," the Master Gundam informed as he stood on one of the Devil Gundam's legs, "Thanks to the power you and Lan Hikari provided, the Devil Gundam has evolved into a stronger form! That was quite generous of the two of you." The Devil Gundam began to fade away with the Master Gundam, "Farewell, King of Hearts!"
"Wait…! Wait, don't go yet! Master! Kyoji! Wait!" Shining Gundam pleaded, reaching a hand out towards their fading forms, "Wait, Kyoji! Kyojiiiiii!-!-!"
Lan, Heero, Allenby, Bae, and the Kensei stood before the crater that was once the land that JyuKen was born from. One by one, they all placed a single white rose at a shrine that Shafu had carved with the SoZyuTo. Nearby, the others were near the Gundam.
"Ugh. We've lost," Chibodee scowled.
"Indeed. Our defeat was worse than one could imagine," George agreed.
"It can't be helped," the four members of the Shuffle Alliance turned to Schwartz, "Once I saw it in its recovered state and the outcome was pretty clear. But the important thing now…" Schwartz narrowed his eyes.
"I know…I know that I can't deny that my own brother…I mean, that Kyoji…" Domon scowled as he recalled the attack, "Was deliberately aiming at me and Lan." His fists began to tremble, "I saw he was completely serious about it! Has Kyoji…really changed?"
"Oh, Domon…" Rain whispered as she gently put his cape on him and sat beside the Neo Japan fighter.
"Neko…Same…Zou…Koumori…Gorilla…Penguin…Ushi…" the Kensei turned to Lan, "We need to know. To help beat Zowanzowan Devil Gundam and Gokingokin Asia, we need to know more about JyuKen."
"…" Shafu nodded, "We will also need to help recover what you lost, Lan; your memories. We can't wait for them to appear spontaneously, so we will have to use drastic measures."
"Drastic Measures?" Lan, Allenby, and Heero repeated.
Me: The rise of SaiDain has also given rise to the complete revival of the Devil Gundam. Now, intense training must happen. But where will it be now that the Beast Origin Village has been destroyed once more? Who exactly is Schwartz Bruder? Find out, next time.
Sorry I haven't been on for a long while.
