Chap. 7

"Voltekka!!!"

With that cry, Blade unleashed the power of his Voltekka, sending a bolt of energy toward his 'nemesis'. However, Guyver I was ready and his own Mega-Smasher ignited, sending out a wave of its own. The two beams fell straight at each other...

____

Group 1

"Huh?"

The group stopped in their steps as they saw the tremendous power beginning to fill the sky before them. Rapidly filling the sky before them!

Liu Kang shouted, "Everyone, get down!"

____

Group 2

"What the...?"

The group watched at the light of energy they had been walking towards grow brighter and closer. Really, really fast!

"Hit the dirt!" Ryu warned.

____

The two beams collided with tremendous force, sending dirt, trees and boulder flying off in various directions. To make it worse, a shockwave of energy shot out, destroying even more of the landscape. When the dust settled, both warriors were on the ground, panting from the use of energy. Blade gazed over at his opponent.

"You're still tough, E...huh?"

The image of Tekkaman Evil cleared away from Blade's vision and he was left looking at someone else. It was another armored figure. His armor looked alien, but completely different from his. Almost as though it was...alive.

"Identify yourself."

Guyver I glared at him, "What kind of guyver are you?"

"Guyver? What the hell is a guyver?"

Guyver I managed to rise slightly, "Don't you know what it is that you are wearing?"

Blade stood up as well, "Look, I don't know what you're talking about. But answer me this. Are you with the Radham, or with Earth?"

"Earth, I guess. What's a Radham?"

Blade raised his lance, "Don't even try it."

This prompted Guyver I's vibro-blades to shoot out, Stay back. I'm warning you."

At that time, Goku, Ryu, Cloud, Ryo all came out into view. After surviving the blast, they followed it straight to its source.

Ryo surveyed the scene, "What are you guys? Were you the guys that caused that explosion?"

Guyver I looked over at them, "Who are you guys?"

At the same time, Jin, Liu, X, Tenchi came out into the clearing as well, from the opposite side. Everyone turned to look in their direction.

"More. Who are you?"

X spoke out, "We was just about to ask you the same question."

Liu spoke next, "You two better stand down. I think we were all brought here for some reason."

Blade scoffed, "Some reason. All I remember was a man in a dark cloak. He said that he wanted me, but he didn't say why."

Guyver I turned to him again, "That's the same thing that happened to me. He had a hood as well. He said that he had some business with me."

Cloud called out, "That has happened to all of us. We were brought here by some mystery guy for some reason. Am I right?"

"That's pretty much it."

"So until we find out why, I think we should call it a truce, right?" Goku suggested.

Blade looked back at his opponent and lowered his lancer, "I guess that makes sense."

Guyver I's blades retracted as well, "Fair enough."

A moment of silence came, one that was broken by Tenchi, "So...who are you guys?"

After they all introduced each other...

"So we're all from different dimensions and times?" Jin said thoughtfully

Liu nodded, "Seems that way."

"So...what do we do now?" Tenchi asked

But before anyone could answer, a dark shadow eclipsed the warriors. They stood on guard as the shadow multiple and formed around them separately. The shadows then formed upward and took shape. When they were finished, there were ten dark fighters, each of them looking like the person they were near.

Guyver I backed away a bit, "What the heck? They look like...us."

"Doppelgangers!" Cloud shouted.

Everyone took their battle positions and Ryo muttered, "Looks like we're in for another fight."

"Yes, you are indeed, Wildfire."
