-[ Tekkaman Z] -
Episode 7: Space Ring Special
By: Kajitani Eizan
Setting: Day 2, about 12:30 PM, the Blue Earth.
Miyuki Meter: 51 hours remaining. [========|========|========]
Phatness Gauge Z: 123 4567
Miyuki stared at her computer screen sadly. I have so little time left…I hope my plan works. I can't let my friends down!
The monster finally decided to wander right where she wanted it to wander, activating her trap and destroying the offending creature. "Yes!" she yelled, pumping her fist into the air. Congratulatory messages from her partners flashed across the screen.
"Nice work," commented Ringo. "You only had three seconds left—I'm not sure if even I have such finesse." He finished shoving his candy bar into his mouth and chomped on it loudly.
"Ooh," squealed Miyuki, "could I have one? Pleeeease?"
"Sure!" smiled Ringo. "…If, that is, you let me have a turn."
"Oh, all right…" pouted Miyuki.
***
Omega mentally smirked as he retracted the pink vines from the beige Tekkaman. Lance has odd tastes in pleasure...
Lance lay on the ground, panting. He was still winded from the pleasurable activity that he was engaged in moments before. His bare chest heaved rhythmically; his heart beat quickly. Sweat and other liquids dribbled down his chin and face.
A minute passed before either of the room's occupants spoke. "Considering it was your first time, that must have taken a lot out of you. How was it?" asked Omega.
Lance offered his master a weak smile. "It was…excellent, sire."
Omega chuckled. "You should have seen the look on your face right before it splattered all over you."
"I'm surprised you managed to keep your eyes open for the best part," replied Lance.
"I have much more control than you think, servant," retorted Omega. "That blinding flash did not deter me from observing their anguished cries."
"Indeed," replied Lance, "if you were human, even if the light did not deter you, the torrent of crimson would have. No human can stand the sight of excessive blood." He wiped his hand against his face and examined it—it was covered with the crimson rain of the late Oniwa Banshu. Some of the healing fluid from Omega's pink vines also remained, but most had seeped into his flesh by now. In a short while, he would have enough energy to transform back into a Tekkaman.
"But I am not human anymore," intoned Omega. "And neither are you…hahaha! Hahahahaha…cough…hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
***
"Radam! Radam! Rock the Radam! Tekka Man Z! Radam! Radam! Rock the Radam! Come, get, me! Na-na-na—"
"For the love of God, SHUT UP!" screamed Saber. He flashed a blue eye at Blade and launched himself at his twin brother.
"I knew that would work," smirked Blade. He met Saber's assault head on by blocking with his own lance. The two strained to gain the upper hand in their power struggle, but to no avail. The two were equally matched.
Suddenly, Blade fired his thrusters and flew straight upwards. "TEKNO-RANG!" he shouted with an echo, firing a projectile from his lance.
"AARRRRGGHHH!" screamed Saber, holding his ears in pain. The pain was not caused by the projectile; he had dodged it with ease.
"Hey, Shinya, do you know what time it is?" Blade mocked.
"We already did this joke, dumbass."
"Oh, yeah?" retorted Blade. "Well, then, eat some TEKNO-POWER-BLASTER!" Again, a mysterious echo found its way into his voice as Blade opened his shoulder cannons, revealing the Voltekker cells hidden inside.
"Shut the front door!" yelled Saber. "VOL-TEKKA!"
The green and blue crystal energy beams collided, cancelling each other out.
"Guys, we have a problem!" called Aki through the communicator. "Come in before I have to spank you two naughty kids."
"Hey," replied Saber, "I don't have a problem with that…when should—Ow! What was that for, Takaya?"
***
"…and then Mom said that Miyuki has to marry me!" exclaimed Trunks.
"What!" said Goten. "No way! That sucks!"
"Yeah, tell me about it," said Trunks. "The only person I intend to marry is—"
Goten silenced him by pressing his finger against his lips. He leaned forward, and the two started to close their eyes. The background temporarily became colorful and sparkly. "Trunks, I—"
"Where the FUZZ are my keys?!" yelled Vegita. The two teens hastily broke apart and sat in their separate seats on the couch, Trunks wiping the drool off of his lips with his hand. Vegita entered the room moments later.
"Trunks, did you see my keys anywhere?" asked Vegita.
"Uh…no, dad," replied Trunks. Goten pretended to be interested in the television.
Vegita stared at Goten, eyebrow raised. "Um…the TV isn't on."
"Um…" stalled Goten. "That is…I was checking my hair. You know how unruly it can be! Haha! Right?"
"Yeah! That's true!" supported Trunks. "It looks good unruly, though…cool, I mean."
"Yeah, okay…" said Vegita, shaking his head. "Anyway, I'm heading out to buy some stuff. Maybe you two should train or something…you are pitifully weak compared to me. Bye."
"Bye," called the two of them in unison.
"Um…maybe we should go train or something," said Goten with a sly smirk.
***
"What's the problem, Commander?" queried Takaya.
"D-boy, I'm going to have to ask a favor of you. You, too, Shinya," said Jamison over the communicator. Tina could be seen jumping in joy in the background.
"…I hate that nickname," muttered Takaya.
"…Anyway, it seems that a piece of the Space Ring has broken off and is falling towards Earth," explained Jamison. The large screen behind him showed a picture of the falling section. "If it collides, it will cause—"
"What?!" exclaimed Shinya. "Again? That's the third time this week!"
"Jesus Christ!" cried Takaya. "Couldn't they have built the damn thing a little stronger?"
"…As I was saying," continued Jamison, "it will cause considerable damage if it collides. I would like you two to—"
"To intercept the falling piece and destroy it, we know," said Takaya boredly. "We've heard it at least five times by now."
"Be careful," warned Aki. "I wouldn't want you to…well…get hurt…"
"Seriously?" joked Ringo. "No, but really, come back quickly—we need to gather those Dragonballs, remember?"
"Of course," replied Shinya.
"Maybe you'll get a hot date with a bugger," teased Miyuki. "Takaya says that red goo is very…comfortable."
"They won't be able to resist my charms," replied Shinya.
"Enough time wasted," interrupted Jamison. "Let's move it!"
"Yes sir!"
***
Ahh…finally, I finished gathering these papers that Galt-sama wanted, sighed Lieutenant Melders. He rounded the corner and saw another lieutenant on his way to Galt's room. Much as I hate to miss an opportunity to see Galt-sama, my duties come first; I might as well ask this guy to give him the papers.
"Excuse me," called Melders.
The subject of Melders' beckon turned around. He started upon realizing the identity of his caller.
"What can I do for you, Melders-kun?" asked the man.
"Er…I don't believe we've met," replied Melders, bewildered. "You—"
"M, my name is, is Izumi Bakin," he replied shyly.
"…Right. Anyway, can you deliver these papers to Galt-sama, seeing as how you're already going in that direction?"
"S…sure," Bakin replied, nervously taking the papers from Melders' hand. He tried to muster up the courage to say something.
"Umm…" Melders started. "Would you please let go of my hand?"
"H, hai!" yelped Bakin.
As Melders turned to go, Bakin resolved to say it. Bakin, he thought, It's now or never.
"Melders-kun! Aishiteru!"
***
"Here we are," said Saber. "Let's get to work."
Suddenly, a horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh no!" shouted Blade. "A horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega! This sudden and unexpected twist might cause our complex plan to end in failure!"
"Takaya, Shinya," called Ringo over the comm system. "You'll need to destroy the horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega, before you can blow up that chunk of Space Ring."
"We know that, Ringo," retorted the Aiba twins in unison.
"Ringo!" shouted Aki. "You've got to pilot this thing perfectly, or we won't get that exact same camera angle that we always do. You wouldn't want to actually make the animators work, now, would you?"
"Why not?" replied Ringo, hands folded behind his head. "That's what they're getting paid for."
Aki shot him a nasty look.
"Okay, fine," muttered Ringo as he moved the Blue Earth into position, firing his lasers along the way.
"Teknoman!" shouted Blade as he generated the two halves of his lance, joined them, twirled it over his head, and swiped downwards.
"Takaya…" whispered Aki.
"Good god, what a loser," muttered Saber. The twin brothers charged at the buggers.
"Haaaghhh!" grunted Blade as he cut a bugger in half.
"Raargh!" He cut along the surface of a bugger, then drilled into it, causing it to explode.
"Hyaah!" He blacked the screen out, displayed green "sword cut" lines, then reappeared, only to reveal that the enemy was diced into four pieces.
"I guess you want to go for a…spin!" he taunted as he picked up a bugger, spun it around on his lance, and threw it at another one, mysteriously causing both to blow up.
"Let's see how 'sharp' you are!" he mocked as he split his lance in two, threw it at a bugger, and retrieved it with his crystal wire.
"Please!" shouted Saber. "Shut up! Phoenix mode!"
Saber was engulfed in red energy as he sped through numerous buggers, quickly destroying them.
"Pegus!" shouted Blade. "Come here!"
"Affirmative," it droned as it stopped firing on the buggers and moved closer to Blade.
"Tekno-battle mode!" he shouted, again momentarily gaining an echo. His armor transformed a bit. He then jumped down on top of Pegasus and 'powered up' in a constipated Dragonball Z style, finally crouching down and crashing through buggers at set camera angles.
"Goddamn, it takes you that frikkin long to change into Phoenix mode?" asked Saber, incredulous. "You're a little late…I cleaned up about ninety percent of them single-handedly."
Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out of the falling section of Space Ring and sped towards the two.
"What?" asked Blade. "What's that?"
"Looks like a Tekkaman to me…" replied Saber, as he tightened his grip on his lance.
"Tekkaman Blade…Tekkaman Saber…Traitors," the mysterious new Tekkaman started. "You may have easily destroyed the horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega, but I will not be nearly so easy to defeat!"
"You'll go down, I can assure you of that," remarked Blade.
"And just as easily as that horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega," finished Saber.
"We'll soon see about that, worthy opponents," he sneered. "Do me a favor and say hello to the NEXT DIMENSION!!"
Suddenly, he rushed forward, oversized katana held horizontally parallel to his body.
Blade only had time to manage, "What the—"
"Takayaaaa!" shouted Saber.
The rose slowly dropped from the sky, its fallen petals glistening with morning dew around its falling stem. Thus did Aiba Takaya, Tekkaman Blade, plummet to the ground, surrounded by the airborne mist of the blood of the horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega.
***
Melders stared at Bakin, shocked. "Come again?"
"Aishiteru, Melders-kun!" repeated Bakin desperately.
"Lieutenant Izumi…did you just say…" started Melders. "…that you want to shit on me?"
"No!" cried Bakin, moving closer to Melders. "Can't you see that I—"
"Are you bothering my Melders-chan?!" yelled Reiko as she stormed across the hall and punched Bakin in the face, causing him to thud to the tiled floor.
"Reiko! What the hell?" asked Melders.
"C'mon, sugar, let's go grab some lunch," replied Reiko as she glomped onto Melders' arm and dragged him down the hall.
***
"Takaya…TAKAYAAA!!"
"You don't have to be so melodramatic; I only knocked him unconscious," said the Tekkaman.
"Takaya…" Saber continued to sob.
"Didn't you hear me? I said, I only knocked him unconscious!"
"Takaya…why did you have to leave us so soon…?" sobbed Saber. "I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused you and the Space Knights, not to mention the entire world…"
"God damn it, are you listening to me?!"
"I never got a chance to apologize…never got a chance to say goodbye…" Saber sniffed a few times.
"Now you've got me feeling sad too!" sniffed the mysterious Tekkaman. "Shut up already!"
"We'll never get a chance to have a fun day at the beach…just Miyuki, you, and me…having fun near that lighthouse we always loved…" Saber continued, lost in his reverie.
"Okay, that's it!" yelled the Tekkaman. "I didn't want it to come to this, but…"
The Tekkaman rushed forward. In a blink of an eye, he was on top of Saber, his katana held over his head.
"Teaaar into pieces!"
Saber plummeted down towards the ground, chunks of his armor trailing after him like the petals of the amaryllis trail after a falling star, beautiful, yet poisonous, white and—
"Okay, I may like flowers, but this is getting ridiculous," growled Miyuki. "It's time…"
"To duel?" asked Ringo, pulling out his 'Duel Monsters' card game deck.
"To say goodbye?" asked Aki, checking her watch.
"To go, Big O?" asked Mac, shifting from leg to leg. A big 'O' different from the one referred to lost control of the situation yet again, causing the Space Knights to grimace and pinch their noses.
"No," replied Miyuki. "It's time for some girl power! TEK-SETTA!"
"NOT HERE—"
***
"Okay, now see where it's kinda pink?" asked Goten.
"Yeah," replied Trunks.
"Probe around there until you find the right spot."
"Sure."
"Yeah…I think that's it," sighed Goten.
"Should I apply a bit of pressure?"
"Yes…gently now. Don't be too rough."
"Okay, I'm pushing…it seems to be going in," reported Trunks.
"Good…ah yes, I think you did it correctly."
"Um…should it be bleeding like this? I think that's a little odd…"
"No, no, it's quite normal," replied Goten.
"The excitement is building…I can't wait!"
"Be patient, Trunks-chan. Don't move it around too much. Just leave it in there until it adjusts."
"Okay, okay."
The two waited for another fifteen seconds.
"Okay," said Trunks, "I think that's enough time."
"Right, now pull it out."
Trunks did so and raised his eyebrow. "There's a lot of liquid and stuff all over it."
"That doesn't matter; give it to me and I'll lick all of it off," replied Goten.
"How does it taste?"
"…Not bad."
"Hey, you two!" yelled Vegita. "Hurry it up! Some of us want to actually finish before it gets dark!"
"Relax, Vegita," replied Goku, who was drooling at the mouth. "Be patient."
"Almost done, Dad!" yelled Trunks. "So what's up with it?"
"It reads 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Perfect! They're done!"
"All right! Hey everybody, the hamburgers are done!"
"Yay!" shouted Gohan and Videl.
***
"Perverts…" muttered Aki. Ringo and Mac both sported nosebleeds and bumps on their heads, the latter of which was courtesy of Aki's fist.
"We're not perverts! We were just caught off guard!" protested Ringo.
"Yeah, lass, that girl Miyuki has a great—yow, what was that for?"
"Dumbass…" muttered Ringo as he watched Mac nurse a new head injury.
"That's it, you Radam freak!" shouted Rapier, glaring at the mysterious Tekkaman. The two were glaring at each other from a safe distance away from the Blue Earth. "I'm gonna take you down for my brothers!"
"This is not a fair and honorable battle," replied the Tekkaman. "I must even the odds to make it a fair and honorable battle."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I will teach you my ultimate sword technique by imprinting it upon your mind via the ever-convenient mental Tekkaman network," replied the Tekkaman. "I call the technique—"
"Wait," said Rapier, sensing some sort of trick. "Why would you—"
"No time," interrupted the Tekkaman. Suddenly, Rapier's brain was filled with the knowledge of the ultimate technique of the mysterious Tekkaman.
"Wow…" said Rapier. "…But do I really have to shout 'Teaaar into pieces' every single time I use the attack?"
"Yes, of course, stupid pupil. Doesn't it sound cool?"
"No, actually, I think—"
"Well, too bad, because it damn well won't work unless you say it. Now, it's time to—"
"Duel?"
"Say goodbye?"
"Go, Big O?"
"No, you fools!" yelled the Tekkaman. "It's time to fight!"
"Isn't that the same thing as dueling?" asked Ringo.
"…Shut up! Now, Rapier, come, attack with the technique!"
"…Doesn't that set me up in some sort of trap?" asked Rapier, suspicious. "I mean, you, the enemy, know what I am about to do next. What are your motives?"
"I need to you to free me from these Radam fetters! That's why I do this!" cried the Tekkaman. "I must die by the sword!"
"Then why don't you just kill yourself?" queried Rapier.
"Because…um…never mind that! Now, Rapier! Kill me now!"
"Fine!" shouted Rapier as she rushed at the Tekkaman.
"Teaaar into pieces!" chorused the two Tekkamen. Suddenly, all the colors changed to a shade of dark blue as the two entered Slow-Motion Kenshin Analysis Mode (TM).
She is going to attack with a stab, thought the Tekkaman. This means that I cannot block horizontally or vertically. The way that she is stabbing…
…Is reminiscent of the fushukumi no chin style! thought Ringo. There is no way that that Tekkaman can block it…unless…
…I attack with all my strength in a sideswipe motion! thought the Tekkaman.
Um…do you all have ESP or something? asked Rapier.
The point is, thought Aki, the outcome of this battle will be determined by…
Speed alone! finished Ringo.
Rapier leaned into her thrust, extending her blue energy-coated blade even further. The Tekkaman, seeing this, leaned over to his right and held his blue energy-coated sword vertically against her rapier. He extended his right elbow, and…
Rapier grunted as the wind was knocked out of her stomach, cancelling the ultimate technique. She let go of her rapier, which sailed out straight ahead of her.
"It seems I have won," said the Tekkaman. "Damn it."
That's the last time I depend on Space Knights for analyzing a swordfight… thought Miyuki.
***
"Hey, the Commander left his magazine here," noted Tina. "I had better go return it to him."
She looked at the magazine some more. "Hmm… I haven't read any issues of Scientific American lately. I might as well…"
***
"No…Miyuki…" said Ringo.
"I can't believe she lost…" said Aki. "She might be deathly sick, but she's no weakling."
Under her faceplate, Miyuki smirked. She pulled her arm back slightly.
"What?!" cried the Tekkaman as Rapier's razor-sharp rapier embedded itself into his back. Under his faceplate, he coughed up some blood.
"What you didn't see was the crystal wire connected to my rapier," gloated Miyuki. "Letting my weapon get behind you was a terrible mistake; all I had to do was pull it back towards me, and presto!"
"Ugh…it seems like you have beaten me," said the Tekkaman. "Good…now, use your Voltekker!"
"What?" replied the pink-plated pugilist. "I can't just blatantly murder a badly wounded opponent! Takaya and especially Shinya would never approve! …Ah, who am I kidding?" She charged her Voltekker cells.
"Goodbye, Tekkaman Rapier, and thank you," said the Tekkaman.
The Tekkaman sailed backwards and exploded in brilliance, conveniently taking out the falling piece of the Space Ring with him.
"Yay!" said Rapier.
***
General Galt smirked as he sat down at a table with his 'Zesty Sausage and Spicy Pepper Bun Wrap'. It was basically a hot dog with peppers on it at triple the cost. Of course, with his salary, cost wasn't an issue. He picked it up with both hands and brought it to his mouth to devour the tasty treat.
"Melders?" asked Reiko. "Melders! Earth to Melders!"
It was of no use; Melders could not stop staring at Galt, who was unsuspectingly eating his meal. Galt-sama…that bun fits in your mouth…like a glove fits a hand!
Galt slipped off into daydream land as he ate his meal. "Blade," he fantasized. "Are you functioning properly?"
"Affirmative," replied the stoic young man. "But lately, I noticed an odd sort of feeling down here," he continued, gesturing.
"Is that so?" asked Galt. "I should perform a maintenance check…why, yes, there is a problem here. Let me fix it for you. Afterwards, you can help me out, too—I have a similar problem."
"Um…" said Reiko. "Isn't the General…er…shouldn't he be eating that?"
"He must just be hydrating it a bit; these cafeteria foods can be rather dry," mumbled Melders.
"Jeez…he looks a bit too happy," muttered Reiko.
Melders was too busy mouth-massaging his own Zesty Sausage and Spicy Pepper Bun Wrap to pay any attention to Reiko. Saliva gathered on the tip of the Bun Wrap and dripped down into his plate.
"Tekkaman Blade…" moaned Galt. "You belong to me, and you will always belong to me. Hahahaha! Nngh!"
"Yes, sir, I am your devoted servant!" reaffirmed Blade.
"What the hell is wrong with everyone today?" asked Reiko. Oh well…I might as well start on my own Bun Wrap…
***
In the aftermath of the battle, Rapier helped Blade to fly back to the Blue Earth. Saber, denying that he needed assistance, made the upwards journey by himself. The scent of victory still hung in the air—it is rather difficult to get rid of the stench of a deceased horde of mutant buggers under the command of the Radam leader, Omega.
"That was some show, there, Miyuki," complimented Blade.
"You got that right, lad!" cried Mac, who then cried in pain, thanks to Aki's forceful fist.
"It was nothing, oniichan," replied Rapier. "I had to save you two!"
"I'm flattered," joked Saber. "…! Wow, I just had the greatest idea for my Outlaw Star fanfic—"
Suddenly, a speeding object smashed into Saber, sending him crashing back down to the ground below. Blade and Rapier winced at his plight.
"Hey, guys!" shouted Aki. "The Dragon Radar is signaling that there's a dragonball in the area! As a matter of fact, it's almost right below us!"
Saber staggered back to his feet. "I noticed. A little help here?"
Blade and Rapier looked at each other. "Heheh…VOL-TEKKA!"
***
Unbeknownst to Melders, a figure gazed at him with desire and at his companion with jealousy.
"This Bun Wrap tastes pretty good," commented Bakin. "But I bet Melders is even better." He accentuated his last sentence with a long lick along the side of the Wrap.
"Oh, Blade!" moaned Galt.
"Oh, Master, I love being your slave!" cried Blade.
"Okay, this whole situation is very disturbing," said the pilot of Diamond Fighter. He sipped his drink, his arm around the girl sitting next to him.
"Yeah…" murmured the girl. She was staring in direction of Melders' table, absently chewing on the end of her Bun Wrap.
"Not you, too!" he yelled, attracting the attention of Lieutenant Izumi.
Whoa… Bakin thought. That chick is almost as hot as Melders-kun…
***
"I'm surprised that Galt didn't fire some overpowered missile to stop that section," commented Takaya. "Mmm…these Pepperoni Pizza Bun Wraps are good."
"Very good," agreed Aki. "Of course, considering that Ringo made them."
"I have more culinary prowess than an enormous European enchilada with extra egg!" boasted Ringo.
"And, of course, we have obtained another dragonball," noted Miyuki. "Only five more to go." She picked up her fifth Bun Wrap; after firing two Voltekker blasts, she needed as much energy as she could get.
"The dragonball had been inside the Space Ring section all along," Maggie conjectured, "and had been revealed only when the section was destroyed. This also shows that the dragonballs are either indestructible to very close to it." The new dragonball had seven dark orange stars embedded inside of it.
"Wow, Ringo, your Wraps are really amazing!" complimented Shinya. He still had a bump on his head where the dragonball hit him, and he had minor burns from barely-dodged twin Voltekker blasts, but he was otherwise okay.
"Not everyone is this talented at cooking, you know," replied Ringo. "I just have skills that you don't."
"Oh, my, Ringo, you're so modest," retorted Shinya.
"But yes, these Wraps are good…they're about as good as mine," said Maggie.
Maybe I should tell them that all I did was reheat Maggie's, Ringo thought. Nah.
