Chapter IV
My Sacrifice
Jericho was floating in a tank in a laboratory. Tubes were attached throughout his body. A man, no, two men stood on a platform. They looked like they were uncomfortable. Electricity was pulsing though their body. Something went wrong, two other men ran up to help, one older then the rest. The electricity caught them both. Pain, intense and unforgiving pain surged though Jericho's body.
Sever awoke. A blinding light greeted his eyes. Blinking a few times his eyes became accustomed to the brightness. Sitting up, Sever looked around. Every where he looked he saw the same bright blue light. Getting up, Sever felt weak headed like something was draining him of life.
My God! I'm in the dragon that I released. When I reverted, I must have lost control over it. The cold realization hit him that he would be digested by the same beast that he had created sickened him. Sever began to feel his energy leaving him. Sitting down, Sever began to drift in and out of reality.
At last, falling into the pit of his own mind, Sever began to feel the other personalities of his past begin to emerge from his mind. He felt peace. Then he felt another. There was someone else with him in the belly of the beast. He was reaching out to him with his mind. With a white light, they met on another plain of reality. Standing there, naked, was the Tekkaman that he had defeated. He looked familiar to him. Like he had seen him in another lifetime.
Sever approached the lone figure. Becoming aware that was also naked. Not that it mattered anymore, they were both doomed to die in the belly of this beast. Looking deep into the others eyes, Sever felt a chill pass though him. "Hello Jericho, its been a long time." the figure said. "I don't understand, who's Jericho? Who are you." Sever asked. The figure smiled at him as if he hadn't seen him in the longest time. As if he was family to him. "You really don't remember, do you. Your Jericho, my brother." The figure said.
"How dare you call me brother Radom scum. You killed my family and my home." Sever hissed. Pain was starting to come into his mind. Even on this plain of reality, he couldn't find peace or escape the Radom. "No Jericho, father freed me, before the Radom took me, all the others fell into darkness, but me and for a time, Shara were saved." the figure said. Clearly also growing in pain as well. " And who the hell are you, and don't call me Jericho, my name is Sever."
The figure stepped closer, revealing the features on his face. Severs eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. One other had survived. It was his is brother Nick.

The blue Earth flue though the night, chasing after a blue beast. That beast now had in its belly D-Boy and the other Tekkaman. Aki refused to let up on the chase, she wanted to at least try to get her love back. The other members of the team were at there posts. Dead end and David were at the guns attempting to shoot the creature down. Yumi was by Natasha's side, waiting for her to recover. Fire was overseeing the repair to one of the space jets that had extensive damage. And Draco was deep in meditation. Trying to reach across space to see if D-boy was still with them. None of them was willing to give up on him.

"Yes brother, its me. A lot has happened sense the Argos. but right now we need to get out of here." Nick said. Sever still had a hard time believing it. He now expected the truth. But it was still hard to believe it. The pain was now becoming intense. He could only imagine what Nick felt.
He had decided though. Even if it meant that his body would die, he would not let his brother die at his hands. Returning to his body and reality. Sever stood up. The pain was becoming unbearable, his armor was beginning to be adsorbed by the energy. Bringing all of his remaining energy to him. Sever once again called for his higher powers.
The energy from the transformation began to rip open a hole in the beast. Focusing his the very energy from all corners of his body began to expand the transformation bending it to his will. "Hurry Jericho" echoed a faint voice in his mind. He was felling pain now from his own doing. Blood began to poor from what remained of his body. With a primal scream, Sever unleashed his energy. Waves of power flew of him, cutting the beast open like a rag doll. The beast blew apart and left two Tekkaman behind. One was easy enough to tell that it was Blade. The other was reverting back. Most of his body was gone. Destroyed by his own attempt to free themselves. With a final breath Sever returned to that plain of reality where he and his brother had found each other again. With his final once of strength, he managed to say three words out of what was left of his body. "Goodbye, my brother". And with that, Sever fell into darkness.

Aki couldn't believe it. One moment they had seen the beast explode, leaving Blade and the other. The next she was seeing Blade race to what remained of him. " David, Draco. Go out and get Blade. He needed medical attention now!" shouted Aki. She returned to view to the screen. Blade was now holding the remains of the other Tekkaman as if he was a fallen comrade in combat. What the hell is going on here! Thought Aki.
Blade floated there with his brother Jericho. His brother had forfeited his life to save his. What have we done. Why, why am I always the one to see the pain in my family's eyes as they leave me. We should never have agreed with the military. We should never have done the experiment.
David and Draco left the cargo bay and went straight for Blade. Reaching Blade and what remained of the other Tekkaman, the two, maid to just grab Blade and bring him back into the ship, thinking he was to weak. They were surprised when Blade shock them off. "Blade, there's nothing that can be done. He's gone" Draco said. Blade just ignored them. We got to get him to the ship, if his armor doesn't vaporize off, then the Radom side will take over. Thought David. Grabbing Blade, David went full throttle to the ship. Blade resisted, trying to get back to the Tekkaman. "Draco, bring him with you when you come back" shouted David as he went flying to the ship to return Blade to normal, hoping that it would make Blade more at ease knowing that they weren't going to leave the fallen Tekkaman.
