Chapter 3:
"Team-up Battle! The Two-Headed Fortress Beast!"
------------
Part 1
It is already morning. As expected, all units have been repaired and are ready to depart for the Saotome Research Institute. The two Gespensts and the Grungust Nishiki have already docked inside the Medea and is preparing for take off. Meanwhile, Koji has finished docking his Pilder onto Mazinger Z and is about to rendezvous with Sayaka and Boss, who have also ridden in their respective units. When Koji finally met up with the two, he is surprised to see his saucer ship, the TFO, flying in mid-air. He then receives a transmission from the TFO pilot.
"Hey, big brother! What do you think?"
"Shiro???" surprised Koji. "What are you doing piloting my TFO?"
"Yep!" Shiro responded. "While you were gone, I practiced hard in piloting a plane so I can one day pilot the Pilder when I grow up! And look! My training paid off and I can fly this thing with ease!"
"Shiro! You get that thing down right now! You are to stay here with Professor Yumi! You can't come with us! It's too dangerous!"
"Hey! You always say that to me ever since you get to pilot Mazinger Z! Why can't I come with you for once?"
"Don't argue with your big brother! You stay here at the lab and that's..." before Koji could finish his sentence, he is interrupted by Professor Yumi.
"Koji-kun. Do not worry. Shiro has indeed undergone pilot training in your absence and has shown great results. He can be of great help to you on this journey."
"But Professor, he is only a boy and he is my only family left! I don't want to lose him in case we are under attack!"
"It is all right, Koji-kun!" called in Professor Nosori. "We've made a few modifications to your TFO by adding some extra armor on it aside from more fuel, weapons, and extra thrusters for speed. With that and Shiro's training, he can take down a Metalbeast without getting hit!"
"That's right, Koji-kun." Seconds Sayaka. "Shiro-kun will be just fine."
Koji thought of it for a moment, and then finally agrees.
"All right. You can come with us, Shiro. But if we get into a battle, stay away so the enemy won't attack you, all right?"
"You got it, big brother!" Shiro shouts in excitement.
Then, a sound of an aircraft was heard not from near the Photo-Atomic Laboratory. It was the Medea now slowly leaving the area and moving on ahead. Koji, Sayaka, and Boss, then received a transmission again from Professor Yumi.
"Koji-kun. Sayaka. Boss. We are about to launch the rocket packs using the Jet Scrander's hangar. The rockets will be launched one by one using the minimum amount of conventional fuel so it will slowly fly down towards you three. Koji-kun, the docking procedure is similar to your docking to the Jet Scrander, so you know the drill. Sayaka and Boss, I will assist you in docking with your rocket packs."
"Yes sir!" the three replied.
"Each rocket has a switch that will convert its conventional fuel into Photo-Atomic Energy. As soon as you three dock onto your rocket packs, use the arms of your mecha to activate the switches. You must do this before the conventional fuel runs out or you will crash to the ground."
"I understand, father!" Sayaka replies.
"All right. I'm ready!" Koji replies too.
"Heh! This is a piece of cake!" said Boss.
"Alright, Koji will go first!" said Professor Yumi and Koji get his Mazinger Z into position.
"This is Professor Sewashi. First Rocket Pack will take in 5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Rocket Pack one, take off!"
Immediately Mazinger Z starts running as the first rocket pack takes off. Like the Jet Scrander, the rocket pack flies onto Mazinger Z's direction as it slowly flies down and as it gets close enough, Mazinger Z jumps and the rocket pack successfully docks onto its back. Then Mazinger Z places its hands on top of each missile where the switches are located. The switches are pressed and the rockets' engines released a burst of flames, giving a huge speed boost.
"This is Koji! Docking is successful and Mazinger Z is in flight!"
The news from Koji resulted in a lot of cheering from Sewashi, Mori Mori, and Nosori as Professor Yumi talks to Sayaka.
"Ok, Sayaka. You're next."
"Understood, father."
"When I give the signal, start running. Remember not to run too fast or too slow. Your speed must be at a moderate one enough for the rocket pack to catch up on you."
"All right."
"Ok. This is Professor Nosori! Second rocket pack will launch in 5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Rocket Pack two, take off!"
"Now, Sayaka!" signals Professor Yumi.
Like Koji's Mazinger Z, Sayaka's Aphrodi A started running as the second rocket pack is launched. Sayaka maintains at the right speed as the rocket pack slowly flies down on her Aphrodi A. As it gets close enough, Professor Yumi gives the signal.
"Ok, jump, Sayaka!"
Aphrodi A makes a jump and the rocket pack successfully docks onto the Aphrodi A's back. Aphrodi A then activates the switches and is now flying alongside Mazinger Z.
Ryoga's group, Koji, and Sayaka are now pulling away from sight of the institute. Boss is the next one to dock his Bossborot onto the last rocket pack. Shiro stayed behind with Koji's TFO to see to it that Boss docks successfully.
"This is Professor Mori Mori! Third rocket pack will launch in 5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Rocket Pack 3, go!"
"Go, Boss!" Professor Yumi signals.
But Boss doesn't seem to respond. The Bossborot still stays in its place. Shiro looks and notices that the Bossborot's eyes are closed: an indication that its pilot is asleep. Quickly, Shiro increases the transmission volume to max power as he contacts Boss.
"HEY, BOSS, YOU FATSO! WAKE UP~~~!!!!"
The bubble coming out of Boss's nose pop out as he suddenly woke up from Shiro's yelling.
"What-Where-Who-When-How!" Then he sees the rocket pack flying past him. "Yikes!" he shouts as the Bossborot starts running. Unfortunately, because of the Bossborot's fat-like size, it runs pretty slow and is unable to catch up as the third rocket pack slowly flies down.
Back inside the laboratory, the Professors watched at the situation.
"Oh no! He's not going to make it!" worries Professor Nosori.
Then Shiro suddenly jumps into action. He flies the TFO at max speed and moves it low until it is behind the Bossborot. Then, Shiro rams the TFO at the Bossborot's back, pushing the Bossborot for it to go faster. However, the speed still isn't fast enough and the third rocket pack is slowly running out of fuel. Shiro has to improvise. He pulls a lever from his control panel and the extra booster engines installed at the TFO's back activated with a huge blast of flames as it gives the TFO a burst of speed. The extra speed of the TFO caused the Bossborot to be pushed and run beyond its max limit, but enough to finally catch up with the rocket pack.
"NOW, BOSS! JUMP!" Shiro shouts as he switches off the boosters and flies away from the Bossborot. A panicked Boss executes the jump of his robot and just in time, successfully docks in with the last rocket pack. The Bossborot activates the switches and now flies off to catch with Ryoga and the others. Shiro follows behind.
"Well, it seems everything went ok." Koji said as he sees Boss and Shiro finally caught up with them. He then keeps his communications open alongside everyone so everyone can talk.
"How long will it take for us to get there?" Ryoga suddenly asked.
"At this speed, we should arrive at Professor Saotome's institute in less than 10 minutes." Koji replies.
"I see." Ryoga replies and sighs a bit. "Man! I can't believe I am going to visit the home of Getter Robo...It's like I get more than I bargained for."
"Heh. Look who's talking." Irmgardt suddenly made a comment.
"Say, Koji-kun?" Sayaka asks. "How did everything go back at Professor Umon's Research Center?"
"Professor Umon?" Ryoga asks.
"Since the end of the One-Year War, my brother went to Professor Umon's Research Center to study UFOs." Shiro explains. "He's been studying there for 6 years now and he comes to visit us every 6 months."
"I see." Then Ryoga asks Koji. "So how long are you supposed to stay before you have to go back to the research center, Mr. Kabuto?"
"Well, I'm only sticking around until the end of the New Year." Koji answers. "But under the circumstances, looks like my last semester will be postponed until this crisis is over. Oh, and can you please not call me 'Mr. Kabuto'? It sounds like I'm an old man already. 'Koji' is much better."
"Ok, Mister...err...I mean...Koji-san."
"Hmmm...but I wonder." Koji said as he adjusts the visor from his helmet. "How did Dr. Hell manage to get hold of those units from the Vega Empire, let along the Kyoryu Empire...?"
"Kyoryu Empire?"
Then suddenly, Ryoga felt the mysterious feeling once again. Images began to appear on his mind. There, he sees a large group of robot dinosaurs appearing from the sea and attacking a nearby building. Then suddenly, the images disappear as he heard his name being called.
"Ryoga? Ryoga!" It was Koji. "Didn't you hear me? I said the Kyoryuu Empire were..."
But Ryoga interrupts him.
"Everyone, listen! We have to get to Professor Saotome's research institute as soon as possible! The Mechasauruses are now launching an attack there!"
"An attack? How can you be so sure, Ryoga-kun?" Sayaka asks.
"I...'sensed' it..."
"Sensed?" surprised Koji. Then he remembers his old friend and comrade, Gundam pilot and One-Year War hero Amuro Ray. He recalled how many times Amuro sensed approaching enemy units which allowed him and the rest of the White Base crew to survive the relentless attacks from the Zeon forces successfully. Amuro's strong sense of intuition also helped him a lot in battle with his Gundam as well as able to communicate with others from great distances thru thought alone - a power possessed only by a NewType.
"I know it sounds crazy, but I've been getting this strange feeling ever since I started piloting this mech," said Ryoga. "I don't know, but if it were not for this, I may probably not be able to save my friends back in Hokkaido, nor did we knew the Photon Power Lab is under attack."
At first Koji wants to object to Ryoga's statement, but if that were true, then Professor Saotome and his daughter, Michiru, are in grave danger as the Getter pilots have left the institute after the One-Year War and gone their separate ways.
"Very well." Irmgardt said as he contacted the Medea pilot. "You heard the boy. Take us there at maximum speed."
"Affirmative, Lieutenant." Replied the Medea pilot.
"Koji-kun, can you keep up with us?" Irmgardt asks.
"Unfortunately, this is as fast as we can go, but we'll get there as soon as possible." Koji replies.
"All right, we'll be going on ahead. Irmgardt, out."
As the Medea slowly pulls away from Koji's group, Koji could not help but worry about the Saotome Research Institute, especially with the Getter team gone.
"I only hope Ryoma-kun and the others have returned in time..." Koji sighs.
------------
Part 2
Ryoga was right, sirens begin to ring around the Saotome Research Institute as Professor Saotome proceeds to the main office.
"What's going on?" asks the head of the institute.
"Professor! Three flying objects are heading towards us," said one of the operators. "They're Mechasauruses!"
"What!?! Impossible! Ryoma and the others have defeated the Kyoryuu Empire 7 years ago! How could they have possibly returned?"
"Professor! The Lady Commando is taking off!"
"What!?! Michiru?"
At the Saotome Institute's launch hangar, where the Gett Machines are located, Michiru takes off in her own fighter jet, the Lady Commando. As she positions her fighter in front of the institute, she can clearly see the incoming invaders. Three Mechasaurus Birds cry out as they approach their target.
"Michiru! Michiru!" Professor Saotome contacts his daughter. "Pull back! You will not be able to defeat all three Mechasauruses at once!"
"But father! With Ryoma and the others gone, there's no one to defend the institute. I have to fight them!" Michiru objects as she moves her white fighter craft forward engaging combat to the three Mechasauruses. Michiru makes an attack by shooting using the Lady Commando's Vulcans, but the Mechasauruses simply dodge out of the way and counter using their Wind Attacks. Michiru loses control of her Lady Commando as the gusts of wind knocks the white fighter craft back and sends it diving down the ground.
"MICHIRU!" shouts Professor Saotome as he sees his daughter's craft spinning as it is going down.
Michiru knew she has to act if she is to save herself. As the Lady Commando continues to spin while diving down, Michiru does her best to gain control of the craft even though the spinning is now making her dizzy. Grabbing the control stick with both hands, she pulls it up as hard as she can. The Lady Commando then stops spinning and pulls up just in time. But Michiru is not out of danger yet as one of the Mechasauruses started pursuing her while the other two head for the Saotome Institute. Then, Michiru receives another transmission from her father.
"Michiru! Are you all right?" asked Professor Saotome.
"Yes, father. I'm fine." She answered.
"Listen carefully! I'll help you out in the Gett Machine 3, so hold on a little longer!"
"That's no longer necessary!" a voice said interfering the communication between the Saotomes.
"That voice..." said Professor Saotome. "Ryoma-kun...?"
"Sorry to be late, Professor! We're on our way to the Getter Machines!" Ryoma replied. "Michiru! Just hold on a little longer! We will back you up!"
"OK!" replied Michiru as she moves her Lady Commando upwards, avoiding the Mechasaurus Bird's fireball attack. As she flies upwards until her craft is upside down and flying in the opposite direction, Michiru launches a series of Vulcans on the other two Mechasauruses who are nearing the Saotome Institute. The Vulcan bullets connect and both Mechasauruses were forced to back off. The three Mechasaurus Birds decide to retreat and regroup while Michiru positions her Lady Commando back in front of the Saotome Institute and prepares for the next move of her attackers. After regrouping for a while, the Mechasauruses made their move by attacking straight towards the Lady Commando. As they come close, the three suddenly split in three directions, confusing Michiru on which to attack first. Even more surprising is that the three Mechasaurus Birds completely ignored the Lady Commando and headed straight for the institute. However, as they come close within firing range and they are about to shoot their fireballs, three more fighter crafts suddenly came out from behind the institute to face the Mechasauruses. The three crafts then launched their missiles and hit the Mechasauruses right at their beaks, ceasing their attack. The Mechasauruses were forced to retreat and regroup the second time.
"Ryoma-kun! Hayato-kun! Musashi-kun!" shouts Michiru as she sees the three Gett Machines flew over her. She then hears a response from the three.
"Michiru! Good that you're ok!" said the pilot of the red Gett Machine, Ryoma.
"Michiru! Get back to the institute and have your craft repaired. We will take care of thing here!" said the pilot of the white Gett Machine, Hayato.
"Hey, Michiru-san! Watch me kick these beasties all over again!" said the pilot of the yellow Gett Machine, Musashi.
"OK! Lady Commando, returning to the institute!" Michiru responds and returns back to the institute.
Meanwhile, the three Mechasaurus Birds now make their attack on the three Gett Machines by doing a combined Wind Attack. The combined flapping of the Pterodactyl-like robots created a large gust of wind heading straight for the Gett Machines. However, Ryoma, Hayato, and Musashi countered by firing their missiles at the gust of wind. The counter failed as the missiles collide with one another. Even worse, the explosion of the missiles turned the gust of wind into a cloud of fire as it engulfs the Gett Machines. The Mechasauruses ceased their attack, thinking the clouds of flame would destroy the Gett Machines.
They were wrong.
The Gett Machines zoomed out of the cloud of fire and the three split up in three directions. The red Gett Machine goes straight in front, while the remaining two charged to the sides. The three Mechasauruses stayed close together getting ready for the Gett Machines' attack. Then as they get close, the Gett Machines did a Power Climb, flying up vertically above the three Mechasauruses. Then, after regrouping with one another, the Gett Machines made a vertical Power Dive while in a circular motion.
"GETT MACHINE ATTACK!!!!!" the three Getter pilots shouted as they shower Vulcan bullets at the three confused Mechasauruses. The bullets hit the flying mechs and brought severe damage on them. The three finished their assault by showering their enemies with missiles before splitting up once again. The missiles connect, destroying all three Mechasauruses at once.
"This is Ryoma! All Mechasaurus units destroyed!"
"Ryoma!" shouts Musashi. "Look! Over there!"
The three Getter pilots turned and looked as the lake not far from the institute suddenly rises up and as the water crashes down, they saw a huge white fortress hovering in front of them. The fortress looks much like a combination of a flying saucer and a top, with an evil looking face on the front.
"It can't be!" said Hayato. "That's the Mikeros!"
"So, our paths cross once again, Getter!" a loud voice echoed from the flying fortress.
"Duke Gorgon!" shouted Ryoma. "We thought we got rid of you and the rest of Dr. Hell's forces! How the hell did you come back!?!"
From inside the Mikeros, a figure closely observes the three Gett Machines. The figure is looks like a Roman Legionnaire with the lower half of his body being that of a Saber Tooth Tiger, complete with the head. The Saber Tooth growls at the screen showing the three Gett Machines as the figure talks back to Ryoma.
"It does not matter!" shouts Duke Gorgon. "If it not for the interference of you, Raideen, and Mazinger Z, our objective would've been realized and I will not have to face 7 years of humiliation! Now, I have returned and I WILL extract my vengeance against you! OBSERVE!"
Suddenly, three missiles came out of the waters and hit the Gett Machines by surprise. The three pilots lost control of their Gett Machines as the impact of the missile fire knocks them back. Inside, Professor Saotome and his daughter Michiru were shocked at what they see.
Fortunately, Ryoma, Hayato, and Musashi are well trained in piloting their Gett Machines and thus respond quickly to the situation they are in. The three pulled back a lever on their left side and more thrust were fired from the engines of their Gett Machines, resulting in the fighters to move in one direction. The three then regained control of their fighter crafts and began making a Line Formation as they head upwards.
But then, something went wrong.
All three of the Gett Machines' engines suddenly burst a cloud of flames and the three were forced to break their formation. Surprisingly, despite the explosion from their engines, they still maintained flight. But they are not out of the woods yet as missiles are again fired from the waters. The three began evasive maneuvers only to discover something - their Gett Machines are losing speed. The three got hit once again, though there was no knock back this time around. However, one can clearly see the damage the missiles have made on the Gett Machines as the three now fly on low altitude within the forest, their speed dwindling continuously.
"Ugh! What happened!?! Why are we slowing down!?!" grunts Ryoma.
"Damn that Duke Gorgon!" ranted Hayato. "Those missiles hit close to our engines, damaging them badly!"
"Arrgh! Our speed continues to slow down!" shouts Musashi. Then three received a transmission from Professor Saotome.
"Ryoma! Hayato! Musashi! Withdraw and return to the institute immediately! Your Gett Machines are badly damaged!"
"Negative, Professor!" replied Ryoma. "If we retreat now, then Duke Gorgon will surely win! We have to press on!"
"But Ryoma, our Gett Machines are badly damaged!" Musashi objects. "We can't combine into Getter Robo in this condition!"
"I know, Musashi! But we have to take the risk! We need Getter Robo if we are to defeat Duke Gorgon!"
"You can't be serious, Ryoma!!! Hayato, surely you object to his decision, right?"
"I agree with Ryoma." Hayato replies. "Whether we withdraw or not, Duke Gorgon still has the upper hand, so better for us to take him on instead."
"All right, everyone! Let's begin Getter Formation!" Ryoma commands as he flies his Red Gett Machine upwards out of the forest, exposing himself to the sight of the Mikeros. Hayato in White Gett Machine follows suit. Musashi, despite still having doubts on Ryoma's decision, follows them as well in his Yellow Gett Machine.
"So, they still wish to fight despite their condition? Very well!!!" shouts Duke Gorgon as he waved his sword forwards. "Bird! Zai! Zu! Destroy those pests!"
Then, the Mechasauruses finally emerged from the waters. The first that came out is yet another Mechasaurus Bird. The second one is a Rhinoceros-like robot, the Mechasaurus Zai. The third one, the Mechasaurus Zu, is a two-headed giant reptile robot standing ground on shore. The Mechasaurus Bird makes the first attack as it lunges at the slow moving Gett Machines with its metal beak open as though ready to eat its prey. However, it was taken aback as a series of Vulcan bullets hit its face and body.
"Michiru-san!" shouted Hayato.
"Everyone, hurry and combine! I'll hold them off!" shouted Michiru.
The other two Mechasauruses are about to fire their missiles, but were halted when they suddenly got hit from the sides by a series of projectiles. Duke Gorgon looks at the direction where the projectiles came from and it there, he sees a robot wearing a white cape and cowboy's hat and is holding a rifle.
"Hey, hey! Looks like we came here on time!" shouted a man's voice from the cowboy robot with a sort of a southern cowboy accent.
"It's the Texas Mac!" shouted Michiru. "Jack! Mary! Is it really you two?"
"We'll keep these varmints busy!" shouted a female voice also coming from the cowboy robot. "You boys better combine right now!"
"All right!" replied Ryoma. "Hayato, Musashi! Let's Change Getter!!!" then flies his Gett Machine vertically upwards.
"Understood!" Hayato replies as he follows.
"Let's do it!" says Musashi as he follows as well.
"LET'S GO!" Ryoma shouts as he pulls a lever from his controls. "CHANGE~~~ GETTER 1! SWITCH ON!!!"
Then the Yellow Gett Machine began to morph. Legs began forming from its rear as it combines with the White Gett Machine in front of it. Simultaneously, arms quickly shoot out of the White Gett Machine. Finally, the Red Gett Machine combined with the other two and a head was formed and a cape was released from its back. The combination sequence is complete.
Getter Robo is ready for action.
------------
Part 3
Suddenly, the Getter Robo fell down on one knee.
"Hey! What happened?" Musashi asks.
"The damage we took from the Mechasauruses was too much. Getter 1's power has gone down because of it!" explained Hayato.
"How do you like that, Getter Robo!?!" laughs Duke Gorgon. "With you now weakened, you have no chance of defeating us! Today's the day you will lie down in your grave! And after that, so will Mazinger Z and Raideen!" He then waves his sword forwards once more. "METALBEASTS, GO!"
Then from the Mikeros, out comes Dr. Hell's Metalbeast army. Garada K7, Daburas M2, Toros D2, and Abdullah U6 all come out to support the Mechasauruses on the ground. Then, the Giru Giru was deployed from the Mikeros to support the Mechasaurus Bird. The Giru Giru's appearance surprised the Getter Team.
"A Vega Beast!?!" Ryoma shouts "How is that possible!?!"
"But I thought all of the Vega Forces were defeated by Grendizer!" said Michiru. "How could they still exist?"
"Oh no! We're outnumbered and outgunned!" shouted Jack. Then everyone received a transmission from Professor Saotome.
"Everybody, listen! A battleship is on its way here along with Grendizer! They will come to support us!"
"How long until they get here, father?" asked Michiru.
"5 minutes!"
"Then we'll just have to hold on until then!" Ryoma said. But he knows that although 5 minutes isn't that a long time, in the field of battle, 5 minutes is more like 5 hours.
"Ryoma-kun! Can you run while on the ground?" asked Professor Saotome.
"I think so, Professor!"
"Good! I will launch a new weapon for Getter 1 from the hangar. It will aid you greatly in this battle. But once the weapon is launched you MUST catch it before the enemy destroys it, understood?"
"Affirmative!"
"Jack, Mary, and Michiru! Give the Getter 1 some cover!"
"Yes, father!" replied Michiru
"No problem, Professor!" said Mary.
"We'll show these guys how we Texans deal with troublemakers!" said Jack.
Then Duke Gorgon's robot army makes their attack. All of them fired their missiles. The target = Getter 1.
"RYO!!!!!" Musashi shouts.
"OPEN GETT!!!!" shouts Ryoma just before the Getter 1 is engulfed in flames and smoke as the missile barrage hits it.
"Not even Getter Robo can survive a missile barrage attack!" said Duke Gorgon as he watches. As the smoke and flames slowly fade, below the feet of the Toros D2, a large drill suddenly came out of the ground and through the Metalbeast. The Metalbeast is then pushed upwards revealing the one that attacked it.
"NO!" shouted Duke Gorgon. "Getter 2!?!"
Just before the rest of Gorgon's robots could react, the Getter 2 aimed his drill-like arm at the nearest Metalbeast and fires it along with the impaled Toros D2. The impaled Toros D2 rams the nearest Metalbeast, which is the Abdullah U6, and explodes. The impact, blast, and burning flames were too much for the Abdullah U6 to resist, thus resulting in its end as well.
"Nice job, Hayato!" Ryoma said.
"No time to celebrate! We still have plenty more to deal with!" Hayato replied.
Then both Garada K7 and Daburas M2 make their attack on the Getter 2, but were halted when the Texas Mac runs towards them and pulls out its twin Magnum pistols and fires at the two Metalbeasts, hitting them repeatedly on their heads. The two tried to turn around to counter but the Texas Mac continues firing on their heads until eventually, the cowboy robot runs out of ammo. Then, placing both tips of the pistols near its mouth, the Texas Mac blows the smoke from the guns as Garada K7 and Daburas M2 falls down to the ground. Their heads severely damaged. Then Texas Mac looks up to see the Lady Commando now engaging combat against the Mechasaurus Bird and the Vega Beast Giru Giru.
"Brother! Michiru needs help!" said Mary.
"Ok, my sister! Back her up! I'll help you from here!" replied Jack.
Then Mary pulls a lever from her controls and the metal hat of the Texas Mac takes off from its head. Then, the hat of the Texas Mac fires a series of Vulcan bullets on the Giru Giru just in time before the Vega Beasts does a Spin Attack on Michiru. Angered by the interference, Giru Giru tries to attack again, but is taken aback by the Texas Mac as it fires its rifles on the Vega Beast. Michiru, on the other hand, has done well keeping the Mechasaurus Bird at bay as her Lady Commando fires its own Vulcan bullets and hits in the mouth of the Mechasaurus just before it releases fireballs from its beak.
Meanwhile, Mechasauruses Zai and Zu fire their missiles on the Getter 2. However, none of the missiles hit Getter 2 thanks to its speed and agility. Then, pointing its drill arm on the Mechasaurus Zu, the drill starts to spin. Then it starts to spin faster and faster, until a tornado was formed and hits the Mechasaurus Zu. Though the tornado was not enough to send the Mechasaurus to the air, the Mechasaurus Zu screams as though it is in pain. That is because the tornado is also filled with high voltage electric currents to bring damage to its target. This is the effect of the Getter 2's attack, the 'Drill Storm'.
This is now the Mechasaurus Zai's chance to counterattack. While Getter 2 is busy keeping Mechasaurus Zu at bay, the Rhinoceros-like robot starts charging right towards Getter 2. Then, suddenly, something strange happened -- The Mechasaurus just went THROUGH the Getter 2! It turns out that the Getter 2 the Mechasaurus attacked was nothing more but an illusion as it slowly fades away from sight - a technique known as 'After-image'. A move that enables the Getter 2 to move so fast, it creates an illusion of itself. As the confused Mechasaurus looked left and right to see where the Getter Robo is, Getter 2 reappeared right in front of the Mechasaurus. Then ANOTHER Getter 2 appeared on its rear. Both are still in their After-image state. The Mechasaurus Zai constantly turns around, trying to figure out which is the real Getter. Confused and dazed, the Mechasaurus roars. Then suddenly both After-image Getter 2s strike at the Mechasaurus. One drove its drill to the mouth. The other Getter drove its drill to the Mechasaurus's rear end.
"DRILL PUNCH!" Hayato shouts as the Getter 2's drill was fired from its arm. A hole was drilled out of the Mechasaurus's rear end from the inside and the After-image Getter 2 from the Mechasaurus's rear disappeared as the flying drill went through it. Then the Mechasaurus Zai explodes engulfing the Getter 2.
The real Getter 2 is at the Mechasaurus Zai's front all along.
The Mechasaurus Zu, in desperation, fires its missiles from both its mouths continuously at the smoke and flames, hoping that the missiles hit the Getter, damaging it before it makes another move. The Mechasaurus continues firing until it cannot fire anymore. Then, it stands still and waits for the smoke and flames to clear to see if the Getter has taken damage. When the smoke and flames clear, the Getter 2 was nowhere to be found and when the Mechasaurus Zu looked further, tt saw that there is a hole dug on the ground. The Getter 2 has escaped.
Then suddenly, from the waters behind the Mechasaurus Zu, yellow arms were stretched out to the surface and wraps around the Mechasaurus Zu by surprise. Slowly, a tank-like robot came out of the surface while continuously gripping tight its victim. Both heads of the Mechasaurus Zu cough out blood as the arms of its attacker continuous to spin around it, crushing its body. Like a large Python snake circling around and squeezes its victim.
"Let's finish this, Getter 3!" Musashi laughs and grins as he pulls down a lever while shouting the name of his Getter's attack. "DAISETSU ZAN OROSHII!!!!!"
Then the Getter 3 slowly lifts up its victim and starts doing a Giant Swing-like maneuver, then it starts to swing faster and faster. A tornado is then formed, surrounding the Getter and the Mechasaurus. Then, Getter 3 releases the Mechasaurus and the tornado sends the hapless two-headed reptile robot in the air and falls hard on the ground. Getter 3 finishes its assault by firing two large missiles from its head, destroying the immobile Mechasaurus. Shortly thereafter, Musashi just noticed the new weapon Professor Saotome mentioned ejected out of the institute and is in the air.
"Ryoma!" Musashi calls.
"I got it! OPEN GETT!" Ryoma shouts as the three Gett Machines separate and changed back to Getter 1, quickly leaps in the air and grabs the machinegun-like weapon, then aims it at the Mechasaurus Bird and fires. "GETTER MACHINEGUN FIRE!"
Meanwhile, the Mechasaurus Bird has finally caught the Lady Commando off-guard and is about to strike when missiles from the Getter Machinegun hit the Pterodactyl-like robot continuously. The Lady Commando then fires its Vulcan bullets on the Mechasaurus Bird. Both missiles and Vulcans damaged the Mechasaurus severely as falls down hard on the ground and exploded. Seeing the Mechasaurus destroyed, the Giru Giru ignores the Texas Mac as it immediately executes its Spin Attack and goes toward the Getter 1.
"Ryoma! Incoming!" shouted Hayato.
"All right! GETTER WING!" Ryoma shouts as a red metal cape is released from the Getter 1's back and leaps high into the air, avoiding the Vega Beast's attack. Then, the Giru Giru stops its Spin Attack and fires laser beams from its shell. The Getter 1 dodges the beams and goes below the Vega Beast.
"GETTER TOMAHAWK!!!!" Ryoma shouts as the Getter 1 pulls out a Tomahawk from its shoulder and strikes it at the Giru Giru's belly, slicing it open. Getter 1 then moves out of the way as the last of Duke Gorgon's mechs explode in the air.
"Now it's your turn, Duke Gorgon!" Ryoma shouts
"Well, well...it seems I have underestimated you. Even in your weakened state, you can still fight hard and well." Duke Gorgon said. "However...I AM NOT BEATEN YET! COME OUT, MECHASAURUS DAI!"
Then suddenly, a barrage of missiles, fireballs, and Vulcan bullets are fired from the sea and hitting whatever it is on the ground or in the air. Fortunately, the Getter team, Michiru, and Texas Mac managed to stay out of the projectile barrage. Then, a gigantic two-headed dinosaur robot slowly emerged from the waters, roaring in its rage. A huge fortress complete with cannons and missiles is mounted on the dinosaur's back.
"No...it can't be..." shocked Ryoma.
"Mechasaurus Dai! But I thought we defeated it 7 years ago!" shouted Musashi. "Don't tell me King Gore is alive!"
"No." said Hayato. "If King Gore were alive, he would not have been under Duke Gorgon in the first place. My hunch is that this Mechasaurus Dai is AI controlled. But even so, we have to be careful."
"I'm picking up something on my radar! It's coming from the south!" Michiru said.
"Is it the Grendizer?" asked Hayato.
"No. I don't think so. But it's getting close."
Hearing the conversation, Professor Saotome turned on the main screen in the main office to check the approaching craft. It was a Medea. Back at the Mikeros, Duke Gorgon sees it also. Then, the cargo doors of the Medea were opened and Ryoga, Daiken, and Irmgardt came out in their respective units.
"Getter team! This is Lt. Irmgardt! Are you all right?" contacted Irmgardt.
"Irmgardt! Is that you?" replied Ryoma.
"Thank goodness you're here to help us!" said Michiru.
Back at the institute, Professor Saotome was shocked at what he sees.
"It can't be...! The Grungust Nishiki? But how?"
Duke Gorgon was shocked to see it as well.
"The Grungust Type II! Why is it here? Damn that Baron Ashler for failing to capture it!"
Then shortly thereafter, Koji's team arrived at the scene. They all detached their rocket packs after landing on the ground.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't feather-brain Gorgon!" Koji shouts.
"Mazinger Z! You have come!" surprised Duke Gorgon.
"That's right, Duke Gorgon! And we're here to beat you again just like we did 7 years ago!"
Duke Gorgon only laughs. "Do you honestly think you can beat me again? Not this time! With my Mikeros and the Mechasaurus Dai, you will all perish by my hand!"
"Come on! Show me what you've got!" shouted Koji.
"Everyone, proceed with caution! The Mechasaurus Dai is an extremely powerful enemy!" Hayato instructs everyone. "Don't take any reckless actions!"
"Understood!" Irmgardt replies, and then turns to Ryoga. "You got that, Kazehino?"
"Yes, I understand." Ryoga replies.
"All right. Here's what we will do..." Irmgardt instructs everyone. "Koji-kun and Sayaka will try his best to get the enemy's attention while the Getter Team will attack from above. Daiken and I will strike from the sides and attempt to take some of the enemy's cannons."
"Hey! Why can't I attack?" Shiro asks.
"Because it's too dangerous for you, you idiot!" Koji quickly responds.
"Hey! I can handle these baddies!"
"No! Koji-san's right." Ryoga interrupts. "You're needed here with me and Boss as we don't have any weapons, so we both cannot attack the enemy directly."
"But, doesn't your mecha use weapons too?" Shiro asks Ryoga. "Why can't you use them?"
Ryoga did not answer. He knew that up to this point, he still cannot figure out how to use the Grungust Nishiki's weapons. Until then, his only means of offense is his skill in the Martial Arts. However, seeing how huge the Mechasaurus Dai is, punches and kicks won't be enough to defeat it.
"All right. Does everyone understand the plan?" Irmgardt asks.
"Understood." Everyone replied.
"Very well. Begin to engage the enemy!"
------------
Part 3
"All right, Sayaka-san! Let's do it!" said Koji.
"Ready, Koji-kun!" Sayaka replied as she gets her Aphrodi A ready to attack. "Koushiryoku Missiles, fire!"
"Missile Punch, fire!!!"
Both Mazinger Z and Aphrodi A began firing a series of missiles in front of the Mechasaurus Dai. The Mechasaurus only reacted by making a low growl as though the missiles only stunned it lightly. Meantime, it was the Getter Team's turn to attack. Getter 1 starts by using its Getter Machinegun once more. The Lady Commando follows up with its Vulcan bullets while the Texas Mac leaps up in the air to fly, pulls out two twin magnum pistols and starts firing on its target. Though the attacks from the air and the ground are providing only minimal damage, they now began to irritate the Mechasaurus Dai.
Now it was the two Gespensts to make their attack. They both rushed to the sides of the Mechasaurus and pulled out their Plasma Cutters. Then, the two charged at the giant fortress beast. Irmgardt used his Gespenst's boosters to jump up and threw the Plasma Cutter on one of the Mechasaurus Dai's cannons, destroying it. Daiken, being that his Gespenst's boosters are still inoperable, decides to jump towards the Mechasaurus, land both feet on the Mechasaurus's skin and IMMEDIATELY jump up backwards - a Triangle-Jump. Then, Daiken's Gespenst throws its Plasma Cutter to destroy another of the Mechasaurus's cannons.
The attack was a success.
"Ha! How's that?" Koji shouted. "Now it's time I make barbecued dinosaur meat out of you! Here's the final blow - BREAST FIRE!!!!!"
A red beam of pure extreme heat energy is fired from the Mazinger Z's chest. The Mechasaurus Dai now makes a loud roar as it takes damage from the Breast Fire. Strangely, though, Duke Gorgon stands his ground and remains calm as the Mechasaurus Dai takes a lot of punishment. Duke Gorgon only made a grin as he watches the fight.
Then, drills suddenly came out of the ground where both Mazinger Z and Aphrodi A are standing. Both were taken off balance as two Mechasauruses suddenly came up from the earth. From the air, Ryoma can easily recognize the two Mechasauruses as he has battled them before during the One-Year War. These two new Mechasauruses are modified T-Rex like dinosaurs, almost resembling that of the famous movie monster Godzilla. Metal armor covers the head and torso. Drills are mounted above their heads and their claws are specially designed not just to slash but even be used as an additional drill on its victims. The name of these Mechasauruses is the Mechasaurus Zen II.
"Koji-kun! Sayaka-san!" Ryoma shouts, but before he could get the Getter 1 into action, Duke Gorgon makes his move. Twin laser beam are fired from the eyes of the fortress and hits the flying Texas Mac by surprise, sending it down. The Mikeros fires its beams once more on Getter 1, but Ryoma notices it this time and dodges. At the same time, however, the Mechasaurus Dai makes its move and fires its remaining cannons in the air, hitting Getter 1 just as it dodges the beams from the Mikeros. The cannons also hit the Lady Commando.
"Damn!" grunts Irmgardt as the tides seem to change in favor of Duke Gorgon. And it is even more so when two more Mechasaurus Zen II units appeared from the ground and grabbed both Gespensts by the neck. Then, using their free metal claws, the Mechasaurus Zen II units spun them into a drill-like form and begins driving it right on the cockpits of the two Gespensts.
"OH NO! WE'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE!" Boss shouts as it seems only him, Ryoga, and Shiro are the only ones left. The Getter Team's down, Koji, Sayaka, Irmgardt, and Daiken are under attack by the four Mechasauruses. And both the Mikeros and the Mechasaurus Dai are ready to make their next move.
"What are we going to do?" Shiro asks.
Ryoga grits his teeth and grunts. He knows he has to think fast as Koji and the others are now facing grave danger. Then, he gives out his instructions to Shiro and Boss.
"Shiro! Attack the two Mechasauruses from the air! Try to get their attention!"
"Huh? Uh...Ok!" Shiro replies and moves his TFO upwards. "Missiles fire!" he shouts as he attacks the two Mechasaurus attacking Mazinger Z and Aphrodi A.
"Boss! Attack the Mechasaurus on the right! I'll attack on the left!"
"O~~~K!" Boss shouts as he and Ryoga move their mechas simultaneously. Then, while the two Mechasauruses are distracted from Shiro's attacks, both the Grungust Nishiki and the Bossborot threw a straight punch on them.
"SPECIAL BOROT PUNCH!" Boss shouts as the Bossborot lands a hard punch on one Mechasaurus Zen II, knocking it down. The other Mechasaurus was knocked back by the punch from the Grungust Nishiki. It then follows up its attack with two kicks to the side, two body blows and an uppercut and finishes with a roundhouse kick to the stomach. The Mechasaurus Zen II then reels back until its side-by-side with the other Mechasaurus Zen II that has recently got up. Then both the Grungust Nishiki and the Bossborot rushed towards the two Mechasauruses and executed a Double Drop Kick on both of them. The two Mechasauruses then flipped over, but as they landed on the ground, they made their retreat by drilling deep below the surface. With the first two Zen II units taken out for a while, Ryoga immediately rushes to aid Irmgardt and Daiken. To his surprise, both made their moves to take out their attackers. Irmgardt activated his Gespenst's boosters to loosen the Zen II's grip on his unit and does a knee attack to the head. As the Zen II reels back, while still in mid-air, Irmgardt uses the boosters again to rush his Gespenst forward and execute an air kick to the face. Daiken's counter move is by using his Geshpenst's Smash Beam right at the other Zen II's face, followed by a rush-in punch to the gut, an uppercut, and finishes with a side kick to the gut. Like the previous two, the remaining Mechasaurus Zen II units dived down below the earth to retreat and regroup.
"Lt. Irmgardt! Lt. Daiken! Are you two all right?" Ryoga contacts both of them.
"Affirmative." Irmgardt responds. "What about Koji and Sayaka?"
"We're ok, Irmgardt-san." Koji replies. "Just a bit shaken up from those two Mechasauruses."
"Getter Team! Are you...AAGH!!" before Irmgardt could finish his sentence, he was taken down by beam attacks from Duke Gorgon's Mikeros.
"Lt. Irmgardt!" Ryoga shouts. Then suddenly, the feeling returned to him again, this time, giving him a sense that grave danger is approaching him. Then, as he looks to the right, he sees the Mechasaurus Dai now rushing in on him and quickly turns around swinging its giant tail at the Grungust.
"Ryo-kun, watch out!" Koji shouts as he rushes towards the Grungust Nishiki and pushes it away. The giant tail then hits Mazinger Z instead, sending it up in the air and crashing down to the ground.
"KOJI-KUN!!" Sayaka shouts.
"KABUTO!!!" shouts Boss.
"BIG BROTHER!" Shiro cries.
As the Grungust Nishiki, slowly gets up, Ryoga can see the Mazinger Z lying motionless on the ground.
"Koji-san!" Ryoga shouts.
Then the Mechasaurus Dai opens its mouths and prepares to fire missiles, but was halted when Daiken's Gespenst fires its Smash Beams. However, Duke Gorgon notices this and delivers a strong blow to the Gespenst by firing its own beams.
"Lt. Daiken!" Ryoga shouts and tries to attend to him, but was taken back when two of the Mechasaurus Zen II units emerged from the earth and blocked his way. The other two blocked Sayaka, Boss, and Shiro's path as they try to attend the fallen Mazinger Z. Ryoga and the others then stayed together as the Zen II units surround them. Duke Gorgon laughs as he sees that victory is within his grasp.
"Observe! Your friends have fallen! Now you too will join them!" he shouts.
"Rats! What are we going to do now?" Shiro worries. "Big brother and the Getter Team are still down!"
"And Lt. Daiken and Lt. Irmgardt are out too..." said Sayaka.
"WAAAH! I DON'T WANT TO DIE HERE!!!!" wails Boss.
"Pull yourself together, Boss!" Sayaka scolds him, then asks Ryoga. "What are we going to do now?"
Ryoga tries to think, then notices notices that the Getter Robo is gone. Only the Texas Mac, Mazinger Z, and the Lady Commando remained on the ground. He then concluded that the Getter Robo might have transformed to Getter 2 and hid under the ground. Seeing a chance to turn the tides of the battle, he began talking to Sayaka and the others.
"All right, listen, everybody. Sayaka-san and I are going to distract these Mechasauruses as much as we can. Boss, you are to check to see if the rest of the Getter team members are all right. Shiro, go to Mazinger Z and see if Koji is all right. We're all going to do this on my signal, got it?"
"OK." Everyone agreed.
"Are you done saying your prayers?" Duke Gorgon calls out. "Then, prepare to die!"
Suddenly, Getter 2 resurfaces to the surprise of everyone but Ryoga.
"DRILL PUNCH!!" Hayato shouts as the Getter 2's drill-like arm is fired and hits one of the Mechasaurus Zen II units.
"NOW!" Ryoga shouts and everyone made his or her move. Ryoga and Sayaka executed a Lariat to bring down the rest of the Mechasaurus units. Boss quickly goes for the Rocket Packs. Shiro moves his TFO towards Mazinger Z. The Duke, seeing his adversaries' new course of action, makes his move by attacking again with his Mikeros. Only this time, his attack was stopped when a wave of lightning attacked the Mikeros from the rear.
"SPACE THUNDER~~~!!!" a voice shouted as another wave of lightning hits the Mikeros once again.
"Space Thunder?" Ryoga wondered.
"Could it be...?" said Sayaka.
"Finally! We've got some backup!" shouted Ryoma.
"Now the tides have turned." Hayato said.
Ryoga, Sayaka, and Getter Robo looked up in the sky to confirm it and there, they saw a white saucer-like ship similar to the Vega Beast, however a robot suddenly came out of its saucer shell and they all heard the voice from what seems to be the voice of the robot's pilot.
"GRENDIZER, GO!!!!!"
------------
Part 4
"Grendizer?" wondered Ryoga as he watches the airborne robot continuing its attack on the Mikeros. Then, he had a sudden feeling that he has seen and heard of the name before. But Ryoga was fully aware that he has no time to think as he sees the missiles of the Mechasaurus Dai have been fired and is heading straight for him and Sayaka. Quickly he moves his Grungust Nishiki towards Sayaka's Aphrodi A and both ducked down in time as the missiles missed their target.
"You ok, Sayaka-san?" Ryoga asks.
"Yes, I'm all right." Sayaka responds.
"Doggone it!" he grunted. "That thing is really getting the best of us! We have to take it down and we have to do it now!"
Then just as the Mechasaurus Dai is about to make its attack, two beams of light from the air hit the Mechasaurus Dai and it has caught its attention. There it looked at and see two fighter crafts. One is a white craft and the other is a blue craft with drills. Then slowly flying behind the two fighters is a giant battleship.
"That ship..." Ryoga said to himself as he can easily recognize the ship's size and shape.
"Look! To your right!" Hayato shouts at Ryoga. Ryoga then turned to see the Mechasaurus Zen II units have regrouped and all are making a charge attack on him, Sayaka, and Getter 2. Just as Sayaka and Getter 2 prepare for the attack, the Grungust Nishiki stood in front of them.
"Ryoga-kun! What are you doing?" said Sayaka.
"What's that pilot doing?" complained Hayato as Ryoga suddenly rushed towards the four Mechasaurus Zen II units. Then, as the Grungust Nishiki gets close, it makes a leap in the air and delivers a kick to the side of the face of one Mechasaurus Zen II, knocking it to the side. Then, as soon as the Grungust Nishiki lands both feet on the ground, it quickly executed a Roundhouse Kick on the remaining Mechasauruses just as they get close to strike.
"That move..." Ryoma said as he witnessed how the Grungust Nishiki executed its attack.
Seeing the Mechasauruses knocked down for a while once again, Ryoga turned to Sayaka.
"Go, Sayaka-san!" he said. "The rest of us will take care of things here. You go help Lt. Irmgardt and Lt. Daiken!"
Meanwhile, Duke Gorgon has had about enough of the Grendizer pummeling his Mikeros. He then turned the Mikeros around to and began firing a series of beams on the Grendizer. However, the Grendizer was too fast to hit. But that changed when the Mechasaurus Dai suddenly fired its cannons to keep its attackers at bay and immediately fired missiles on the Grendizer. The missiles hit the flying mecha on its back and send it down.
"Daisuke-san!" a female voice shouted as the white fighter craft fled towards the falling Grendizer. The Mechasaurus Dai tried to attack the white craft, but was kept back by the attacks from the blue fighter craft. Duke Gorgon, on the other hand, now has a bigger problem as the white battleship is attacking his Mikeros. To make things worse, a brown robot appeared from the white battleship and is providing additional firepower against the Mikeros. The white craft then docks onto the back of the Grendizer and the Grendizer takes its flight once again.
"Daisuke-san! Are you all right?" asked the female pilot of the white craft.
"I'm ok, Hikaru," answered the Grendizer pilot. "Let's go help Maria and the others."
"Ok." Hikaru replies.
Back on the ground, Getter 2 and the Grungust Nishiki are doing well in battling with the four Mechasaurus Zen II units. However, for Ryoga's case, he knows it will take more than punches and kicks to ultimately defeat the two Mechasauruses he's handling. Then, it came at one point where one of the Mechasauruses fired missiles and hit the Grungust Nishiki's face. While no damage has been done, it has, however, affected Ryoga's vision in battle, which gave the other Mechasaurus a chance to strike hard at the rear side of the Grungust. Both Mechasauruses then drove their drill-formed claws on the blue robot, trying to damage its armor. Surprisingly, the drill attacks did not cause much damage. But the shock from the drill attacks is taking its toll on Ryoga. Also, the drill attacks are keeping the Grungust Nishiki unable to move.
"RUST HURRICANE!" a voice shouted and a burst of wind hits and lifts up the Mechasaurus behind the Grungust Nishiki airborne. Though the Rust Hurricane did not completely turn the Mechasaurus into rust because of its skin, it has turned the other metallic parts of its body into such. Because parts of its head are metallic, the Rust Hurricane has affected the AI chip in its brain, resulting for the Mechasaurus to no longer function as it falls hard on the earth. With the other Mechasaurus out, the Grungust Nishiki can now move despite the drill attack. With this, the blue robot grabs the drill arm of the Mechasaurus Zen II, twists it, and pushes it away. The Mechasaurus Zen II then opens its mouth to fire its missiles, but as it's about to fire, the Grungust Nishiki lunges its fist right at the mouth of the Mechasaurus Zen II, resulting for the missile to explode inside the mouth of the Mechasaurus. The Mechasaurus Zen II then breathes out smoke from its mouth as it slowly falls to the ground and stays motionless. Ryoga then turns around to see the Mazinger Z now up and ready.
"Koji-san!" Ryoga shouted. "Are you all right?"
"I'm still a little bit shaken up, but I'm all right." He replied.
"Yeah! And I have to slap your face several times just because you were asleep!" Shiro suddenly shouted as his TFO flies over the Mazinger Z.
"Shut up, Shiro!" Koji shouted.
Then, a loud explosion was heard from the short distance. One of the Mechasaurus Zen II units has been destroyed due to taking severe damage from the Getter 2's Drill Punch. The last remaining Mechasaurus Zen II then tries to flee, only to meet two missiles coming from the Aphrodi A, followed by a Drill Storm from the Getter 2, sending the Mechasaurus in the air. Then taking hits from the Texas Mac and Lady Commando. Then taking more hits from Irmgardt's Gespenst, and is finished off by Daiken's Gespenst's Smash Beam.
"Everyone! Are you all ok?" Ryoga asked.
"We're all ok, Kazehino-kun." Irmgardt replied. "Now let's bring this giant lizard back where it came from!"
"Lt. Kazahara! Come in, Lt. Kazahara! Report your status!" a female voice was heard from Irmgardt's transmission.
"This is Lt. Kazahara! All units are alive and well!" Irmgardt replied. "About to engage combat with the enemy, over!"
"Roger, Lieutenant, over!"
Meanwhile, Duke Gorgon is now in big trouble as his Mikeros is receiving too much damage from the attacks from the brown mecha and the white battleship.
"This is too much!!!" he shouted and gives the order to flee. While still receiving further damage from the white battleship and the brown mecha, the Mikeros has successfully left the scene of the battle. Now, only the Mechasaurus Dai is left.
"SCREW CRUSHER PUNCH!" shouted the Grendizer pilot as the robot's arms are detached the same way as Mazinger Z's Rocket Punch. Only this time, the fists are covered with red colored metal blades forming a drill as they spin towards the Mechasaurus Dai. However, the Mechasaurus Dai uses its tail to parry the Screw Crusher Punch.
"BREAST FIRE!" Koji shouted as the Mazinger Z fires its heat beam at the Mechasaurus Dai. It is then followed by shots from the Texas Mac's Twin Magnums, Lady Commando's Vulcan bullets, TFO's missiles, Aphrodi A's missiles, and Daiken's Geshpenst's Smash Beam. Despite the so much firepower, the Mechasaurus Dai still stands and starts swinging its tail on Ryoga and the others. Fortunately, Ryoga's group manages to stay clear from the giant tail.
"Darn it!" Koji grunted. "This monster is even more powerful than we thought!"
"Koji-kun! Koji-kun!" Koji receives a transmission from the Grendizer pilot. "Are you all right?"
"Daisuke-san!" Koji replied. "We're ok, here, but this monster needs to be taken out right now!"
"I know! Let's combine all our power to take it out!"
"Right! Let's give it all we've got!" Koji shouts as he gets his Mazinger Z ready for its next attack. "BREAST FIRE!!!!!"
"My turn!" Daisuke shouts. "KENJYURYOKU STORM!!!" From the V-shaped chest of Grendizer, a large beam with rainbow-like colors is fired and hits the Mechasaurus Dai. But the attacks from both Mazinger Z and Grendizer are not enough.
"Hayato! Musashi!" Ryoma calls them.
"I got you, Ryoma!" replied Hayato.
"Let's go!" shouted Musashi.
"OPEN GETT!" Hayato shouts as the Getter 2 separates itself.
"CHANGE GETTER 1, SWITCH ON!" Ryoma shouts as the Gett Machines combined into Getter 1 once again. Then, it flies up in the air and Ryoma shouts the name of its attack.
"GETTER BEAM~~~~!!" From the abdomen of Getter 1, a red beam made of pure Getter energy is fired and hits the Mechasaurus Dai. Now the two-headed fortress beast roars as it takes damage from three beam attacks.
"It seems to be working." Ryoga says as he watches.
"Right." Irmgardt agrees and gives out instructions to the others. "All units with projectile attacks, redirect fire on the enemy!"
Everyone complied with Irmgardt's instruction and all fire their projectile weapons on the Mechasaurus Dai. Even the white battleship and the brown mecha standing on its launch pad gave support fire. Only the Grungust Nishiki, Irmgardt's Gespenst, and the Bossborot did not attack, as they have no projectile weapons.
"This is not good, Lt. Irmgardt." Ryoga says as he observes the situation. "If the enemy does not fall from this one, its massive size can still change the outcome."
Irmgardt nodded. Because of the Mechasaurus Dai's massive size, it can still break away from the combined projectile attacks. If a victory is to be ensured, more firepower is needed. Irmgardt knows that only Ryoga's Grungust Nishiki can perform such an attack, if only Ryoga knows how to.
Then, the Mechasaurus Dai roared loudly as it takes more damage. But as Ryoga watches, suddenly, the mysterious feeling returned again. The next thing to happen, from Ryoga's eyes, the whole scenery changed.
"What...what is this?" Ryoga wondered as he looked around. What was once a forest was replaced with ruined buildings. The white blue sky turned into a dark, black night. And instead of seeing the Mechasaurus Dai being hit by projectile attacks, it was replaced by another robot - a Mobile Suit. As the Mobile Suit gets hit, Ryoga heard the scream of a woman. At the same time, Ryoga suddenly felt great pain in his head. And the pain gets stronger. Then, more pain is felt throughout his body. But it's not like the pain in his head. The pain in his body is felt as though a burst of flame is burning him from skin to bone within seconds.
"My body..." Ryoga tries to speak. "Why...am...I...in...pain? It's as if...It's as if..."
Ryoga then screamed aloud.
Suddenly, electricity surged throughout the cockpit. Several screens appeared showing a series of numbers and letters. Ryoga then tries to release his 'Rage of The Beast' in hopes of fighting against the pain. But the pain gets stronger and stronger. Ryoga tries hard, but the pain just gets worse. Then, out of desperation, Ryoga gave his all as he screams aloud. As he does so, a strange light surged throughout his body. His eyes then started to flash.
Outside, back in the world of reality, the Grungust Nishiki's eyes flashed as well as it slowly raises its arms forward. The rotating motors located on top of each of its shoulders began to spin. The near star-shaped chest began to glow an illuminating light. Irmgardt could not believe at what he sees.
Inside the cockpit of the brown robot, the pilot could not believe either at the sight of the Grungust Nishiki.
"No...it can't be..." said the pilot.
"...The Maxi Blaster!" said Irmgardt. "But how...and why...?" He then tries to communicate with Ryoga, but to no avail. Then, the same light that surged through Ryoga appeared and surrounded the Grungust Nishiki as the light from its chest gets brighter and brighter until finally, a huge bursting beam is blasted from the chest and hits the Mechasaurus Dai. The Mechasaurus Dai roared as it gets hit as the Maxi Blaster blasts through its body and even through the water. Then, after a moment of silence, the Mechasaurus Dai gives off a large explosion.
As the sky is covered in a thick layer of flame and smoke, electricity surged inside and out of the Grungust Nishiki. Then, the glowing eyes faded as it slowly leans back and falls hard on the ground. And Ryoga passes out.
------------
Part 5
Ryoga opened his eyes. All he sees is a white ceiling lit by a fluorescent lamp. Just by looking up to the ceiling is enough for Ryoga to know that he is no longer inside the cockpit of the Grungust Nishiki. When he looked at his right, he sees a table. Some fruits, cookies, and a beverage lay on the table. Not much of a hospital food, he thought, but at least not the same as the ones when he was confined to a hospital in his early age where the food served to him was the worst.
Then, Ryoga heard a sound of a door opened from his left. He turned his head and a woman entered a room. She wore a pink nurse outfit, yet the outfit seemed so skin-tight to her that he could easily notice 'something' erecting out of it from her chest. Ryoga made a big gulp as he stared right at her. The woman closed her eyes and traced her fingertips through her blue-colored hair, whose length is all the way down to her lower back. Her nose and lips were small and the color of her eyes is black. After grooming her hair, she slowly runs her hands around her pink shirt down under her bosoms, straightening her shirt out. The size of the woman's bosom really made Ryoga's eyes open wide. He then tries to resist the thoughts of perversion flowing through his mind. He knows very well that he has a huge weakness for women of beautiful figure, though Uriko, Rena, Hime, and Yui were exceptions as, despite the four having really attractive bodies, he was able to get along with them without his perverted thoughts getting in the way.
Then again, there's always the great philosopher Aristotle saying that, "One swallow does not make a summer".
Ryoga then suddenly caught himself off guard when the woman's eyes turned to his.
"Oh. You must be awake." She said.
"Um...I...ah..." Ryoga tries his best to say something as to give the woman the impression that he wasn't staring at her.
"Well? How are you feeling?" she asks as she slowly approaches him.
"Err...I'm...ok, I guess." He replied as he tries to lift himself up. But then, he felt a surge of pain tingling through his body and quickly falls back to his bed. He grits his teeth and grunted as he placed his hand on his chest where the pain hurt the most.
Then, he felt the woman's hand touching his.
"Now, now, take it easy," said the woman as she looked at Ryoga. As Ryoga looked back at her up close, he can clearly see her cleavage exposed at the lower portion of his eyes. Once more, his perverted thought tries to take over, but Ryoga tries his best not to fall into temptation and to narrow his eyes on her bosom. Instead, he tries to make a conversation.
"Where...am I?"
Suddenly, the woman's fingers touched his lips. "Don't speak for now. You're still in pain. You just relax, ok?"
Ryoga could feel his heart beating fast. The woman's beauty and gestures has really mesmerized him. Once more, his perverted thought tries to take over with a much stronger force. Ryoga tries to fight back by maintaining calm and cool and keeping his logic mind maintains its stand. But that slowly seems impossible when the woman slowly pulled down his blanket and starts unbuttoning his shirt.
"What...what are you...?"
"I told you not to speak."
Ryoga tried to reply by saying "I'm sorry." But he decides to follow the woman's instructions and kept quiet. He then shivered a bit as his chest is now fully exposed.
"Now, just close your eyes, relax, and take a deep breath, all right?" said the woman.
Ryoga does as he was told, but he then takes a deep breath the woman's hand touch his chest. The sensational feeling has made his perverted thoughts stronger than ever. The temptation has slowly taken over his mind. And the temptation is much stronger when her hands began to move very slowly over his chest. But all that came to a halt when the woman's fingers applied pressure to his chest. A surge of pain quickly replaced the sensational feeling and Ryoga grits his teeth and grunted. The woman ceased applying pressure and looks at Ryoga with concern.
"Does it hurt?" she asked.
Eyes still closed and gritting his teeth to fight the pain, Ryoga nodded.
"I'm sorry. I'll apply a lighter pressure for you, but I can't promise it'll not hurt." She said, then begins applying lighter pressure on his chest. Ryoga hands grasps on the cloth of his blanket as the he still felt the pain, but as the woman applies more pressure over time, the pain lessens and becomes comfort. Ryoga ceased gritting his teeth and made a sighed in relaxation. The woman smiled at him as her massage treatment for pain is working. After applying pressure on his chest, she then massaged his shoulders, arms, neck, and the head.
"There. All done." She said. "Feeling better?"
Ryoga opened his to look at her, smiled, and nodded. The woman smiled back, then helps Ryoga up.
"Can I speak now?" he asks.
"Yes, you can." She giggled. Ryoga wondered what she's giggling about, but he sticks to his previous question.
"Where am I? Am I at the Saotome Research Institute?"
"No. You're inside the sickbay of our battleship."
"Battleship? You mean I'm inside the White Base?"
"You know the White Base?" she asked surprised.
"Well, I never get to see it personally, but I've heard much about it from watching documentaries about the One-Year War and saw pictureds of it in class."
"Well, you are half correct."
"Half correct?" he wondered.
"The real White Base was destroyed at the end of the One-Year War. This is simply a replica of the White Base with some modifications such as increased space for cargo and such."
"I see..."
"We have not given an official name yet, but for now, you can it the 'White Base Kai'."
Then suddenly, the woman heard Ryoga's stomach grumble.
"Oh! You must be hungry!" she then takes a cookie from the table. "Here, open wide."
Ryoga opened his mouth as the woman fed him with a cookie. His eyes suddenly opened wide as he tasted the flavor of the cookie.
"Strawberry Jam filled cookies?" Ryoga spoke loudly. "They're my favorite!"
"Really? I'm glad!" she giggled. "Sorry though if this is what we can offer you. I'm afraid none of us here have a good knowledge of cooking."
"So these cookies are...?"
"We bought them whenever we stop by at shops. We mostly buy ready-to-eat foods or those that can be cooked by pouring in hot water."
"I see..."
"Oh! We haven't introduced ourselves yet! My name is Naomi Walters."
"The name's...Ryoga Kazehino."
"Ryoga...that's a nice name..." she smiles. "Anyway, Miss Mao wishes to see you if you're feeling all right. But let me feed you first before we go to the bridge." She then takes another cookie from the table. "Now say 'Aah...'"
After having cookies, fruits, and milk, Ryoga has left the sickbay. With the nurse Naomi as her guide, Ryoga proceeds to the bridge of the White Base Kai. When he and Naomi entered the room, his eyes and mouth opened wide in amazement as he looked around the large room.
"Wow..." he gasped. "I can't believe I'm inside the White Base..."
"I told you." Naomi replied. "This is only a-"
"A replica, I know. But still, it has almost the same features as the original White Base. So I'm really much excited that I get to be here."
"Kazehino-kun, we've been expecting you." Daiken called him.
"Oh. Lt. Daiken. Lt. Irmgardt."
"So, is this the one?" a woman sitting at the Captain's chair which is raised above asked before she lowers it. Her pink-colored hair reached down to the back of her neck, with bangs almost covering her left eye. Her spiky hair design can almost give one the impression that she's a male. She has pink eyes and from the design of her eyes, she seems to be Chinese. Her physical figure is slim as most. She wears a white shirt covered in a white jacket with dark red trim on her sleeves and a blue collar. For her lower body, she wears blue jeans and leather shoes. After lowering the chair down to the floor, the captain gets off and meets Ryoga with a smile.
"Greetings and welcome to my ship. My name is Lynn Mao."
"Please to meet you, Captain Mao. My name is--"
"Ryoga Kazehino. Irmgardt and Daiken told me much about you."
"I see..."
Then, he remained quiet.
"What's wrong?" Lynn asked.
"Well...I...um..." Ryoga tries his best to explain his silence. For the most part, he has a lot of questions to ask to Captain Mao, but since he's inside a battleship and talking to the Captain, he has no right to speak unless told to - at least that's what he knows when it comes to things concerning of being in the military. As he tries to make up an explanation, he stopped when he saw the captain giggle.
"Well, if you're nervous, don't be." Lynn told him. "We're not an army like the Federation or the Japanese Military so formality's thrown right out of the window. You're free to speak whenever you want to."
"Very well. As you wish, Captain." He replied.
"You're too modest. Well, I guess it can't be helped."
"I'm sorry."
"It's all right. Anyway, I can tell from your face that you have a lot of questions you want answered. I'll get straight to the point. I'm not only the Captain of this ship; I'm also the pilot of the Hückebein EX."
"Hu...ke...Hu..."
"It's Hück-e-bein. It's German."
"I see. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I could not get how it's spelled nor how it is pronounced."
"Well, if it really is that difficult for you, you can call it as 'Hyukebine'. At least that's how it is said in Japanese. I assume you call the mecha you pilot as the 'Grungust'?"
"Yes. Is that in German?"
"Well, not really."
"Huh?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know how to spell or even pronounce it in German either!" she giggled.
Ryoga was speechless at Lynn's response. The others inside the bridge simply turned their attention away from Lynn. After she looked at the situation, Lynn coughed as if trying to get back to her serious side and talks again to Ryoga.
"Well, aside from that, I'm also the head of Mao Industries."
"Mao Industries?" Ryoga replied as he remembered Professor Yumi mentioned the name before. "Then the Grungust Nishiki is..."
"The Grungust Type II is a project of Mao Industries in association with the Divine Crusaders and the Federation. While we have made the interior and exterior designs, many of the Grungust's special parts were from the DC and the funds for building it came from the Federation. The main purpose of building the Grungust Type II is for the Federation to observe its overall capabilities for possible mass-production of the unit for future use."
"I see…" Ryoga thought. "So the attack on Hokkaido…"
"We were supposed to begin a new series of tests of the Grungust's capabilities in a few days when the attack in Hokkaido happened. I've been informed of what happened when that event took place."
"I guess there's no room for apology for piloting a robot that is supposed to be in its top secrecy."
"The irony for that is, if it not for you piloting it, Baron Ashler would have been successful in capturing the Grungust Nishiki."
"So...what will happen to me now?"
"I've got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that we're not a military faction, though we have fighting units of our own, so you will not receive any punishment whatsoever. The bad news is that a device is installed within the Grungust Nishiki which allows the mecha only respond from the commands of its first pilot."
"So, you mean I'm the first pilot?"
"That's the strange part. You see Daiken was actually the first Grungust Type II pilot before you came along. And, it seems you've managed to master the unit's Basic Motion Control System, which allows you to move the Grungust as it were your very own body. What's even stranger is that you somehow managed to use the Grungust's weapons even though you're not a NewType."
"NewType?"
"It's a long story about it, but to make it simple, being a NewType is like being an Esper. You can communicate at great distances by thought alone. But you can only be one if you have spent a large portion of your life in space."
"In space? But I lived on Earth my whole life! I've never been to space!"
"That's what's puzzling me. My only hunch about this is that it may have something to do with one of the devices installed inside the Grungust Type II. Well, in any case, the test must continue and since the Grungust has chosen you, I ask that you remain here with us as the Grungust Nishiki's test pilot."
"Test pilot? Me?" surprised Ryoga.
"You must be joking, Captain!" Daiken protests. "He is only a boy and you want him to pilot a top secret robot!?!"
Lynn then turned to Daiken. "Lieutenant, I know how you feel about this. But we can't be sure if the Grungust will accept you as its pilot again. And with the forces like Dr. Hell now back at work, we need to get the tests done at the soonest possible time." She turns back to Ryoga. "I'm sorry, Ryo. But I ask that you be our official test pilot for the Grungust. You may return home once the tests are over."
At first Ryoga didn't like the idea of being a pilot as he is more worried on how his friends are doing after the event in Hokkaido. But seeing the current situation he is in, he has not much of a choice. For that he nodded back at Lynn in agreement.
"You've made a very wise decision, Ryo." Lynn said. From this point on until the end of the test, you will be our test pilot. Daiken will be your guide in both the tests and in your training of piloting the Grungust."
"Yes, Captain." Ryoga replied, though feeling a sense of guilt as he feels responsible to removing Daiken's position as Grungust Nishiki test pilot.
"Your test and training will begin as soon as we reached our next destination, which is the Japanese Army's Far East Base located near Tokyo. Until then, feel free to make yourself comfortable within the ship." Lynn then called on Naomi. "Naomi, will you please escort Ryo to where he'll be sleeping?"
"Ok, Captain." Naomi replied. "Let's go, Ryo-kun."
"All right." Ryoga replied and followed her. Before he left the room, he took one more look at Daiken, who is still upset over Lynn's decision. As they walked their way to Ryoga's quarters, they then met up with Koji and Sayaka.
"There you are!" Koji shouted.
"Koji-san! Sayaka-san! What are you two doing here?" Ryoga asked.
"Miss Mao has asked us to stay here and assist her in her mission." Sayaka answered
"Mission?"
"Well, I really don't know what the mission is all about. But we accepted anyway."
"Naomi? Does the mission mean the test on the Grungust Nishiki?"
"Well, that's just one of them." Naomi answered. "There are others missions but I'm afraid I'm in no position to tell those."
"I see..." Ryoga said. He then turned his attention back to Koji and Sayaka. "But, what of the Photo-Atomic Power Lab? Is it safe to leave the place by itself without Mazinger Z to defend it?"
"We've talked to Professor Yumi and he gave us full permission to stay here." Koji replied. "He says it's very important that we stay here and he looked so serious about it even though there is a risk Dr. Hell's goons will attack again."
"Koji-kun!" a voice was heard from the back. Three individuals, 2 young women and a young man approached Ryoga and the others.
"Daisuke-san! Hikaru-san! Maria-san!" Koji said.
"Do you know them, Koji-san?" Ryoga asked.
"They're from Professor Umon's Research Center." Koji answered. "Ryo-kun, I'd like to introduce to you my friend and Grendizer pilot..."
"Fleed. Duke Fleed." The Grendizer pilot interrupted. He had short brown hair and a face that almost suggests he is Japanese. Like Koji, his body is slim built, but slightly muscular. He also wears a cowboy's outfit minus the hat and boots.
"Duke Fleed? But why is Koji-san calling you 'Daisuke-san'?"
"'Daisuke' is the name I use here on Earth. Duke Fleed is my real name. It's kind of a long story to tell."
"I see..."
"I'm Hikaru Makiba. I'm the pilot of the Double Spacer. The white craft you saw in battle that linked with Grendizer," said the woman. Like Duke Fleed, she too wears a cowboy outfit. Her body is well built though she's slightly slimmer than Sayaka's. She too has brown, straight hair and eyes hat suggest she's Japanese, but from the way she speaks, it's almost like she is a natural cowgirl.
"And I'm Maria Grace Fleed. Duke's sister and pilot of the Drill Spacer." said the other woman in a skimpy blue outfit. Her hair is just as long as Sayakas only a little spiky and has almost the same built as hers. She then turns her attention to Koji with a smile on her face. "Koji-san. It's good to see you again."
Koji smiled back at Maria. Then suddenly realizes that Sayaka's with him. "Oh, by the way! I'd like to introduce..."
"There's no need, Koji-kun." Sayaka said in a slightly toned down voice. Then slowly approaches Maria and offers a handshake. "Hi. My name is Sayaka. Koji-kun has told me a lot about you."
"Ah! You must be Sayaka. Koji-san has told me a lot of good things about you." She said with a smile as she shakes Sayaka's hand. Sayaka smiled back.
"Well, I'm afraid I have to get going." Sayaka said.
"To where?" Koji asks.
"None of your business, Koji-kun!" she frowned, then turned her attention back at Maria. "Well, let's talk another time, all right?"
"All right." Maria replied. "I'll be looking forward to it."
"Well, see you!" said Sayaka as she then walks away from Koji and the others, much to Koji's confusion as to why she acted so...strange.
"By the way, Koji-kun," said Duke. "I've heard the Jet Scrander of Mazinger Z's been badly damaged when Count Brocken attacked the Photo-Atomic Power Laboratory."
"I'm afraid so, Daisuke-san." Koji replied. "I never thought Dr. Hell would get a hold of a Vega Beast as well as Mechasauruses under his command."
"So am I. Yet, we have no indication that Emperor Vega has finally come to Earth. Our only conclusion is that Dr. Hell may have access to the technologies of the Vega fleet we've taken out years ago and used it to upgrade his Metalbeast army alongside the Mechasauruses."
"Thus explaining their power."
"Correct."
"Um, excuse me..." Naomi interrupts.
"What is it?" asked Duke.
"Just a wild guess. But is it possible that one of the Spacers can dock on the back of Mazinger Z just like the Jet Scrander?"
"That's impossible!" said Koji. "The Grendizer and the Spacers are made of alien technology and does not support Photo-Atomic Energy. No way can any one of the Spacers dock onto Mazinger!"
"But Mazinger and Grendizer share some similarities despite the difference in technology." Naomi argues. "The punches, the chest beams, even the docking of the Double Spacer onto Grendizer are just like docking Jet Scrander onto Mazinger."
"Now that you mention it..." Hikaru thinks. "Mazinger and Grendizer do share some similarities. Maybe it is possible the Spacers can dock onto Mazinger."
"See?" Naomi snaps a finger. "Well, if you like, I can ask the Captain to stop over someplace so we can test the docking sequence if it works. If it does, Mazinger Z will be able to fly again until the new Jet Scrander is built."
"I guess it's worth a try." Says Koji, and soon after starts to yawn. "Well, I think I'll hit the sack for tonight. See you guys in the morning!"
Everyone then bid their goodnights and Naomi and Ryoga continued walking down the hall until finally, they reached a room. When the two entered, Ryoga noticed several nice decorations around the room. A Chinese vase full of flowers on a desk; beige-colored wallpapers; a soft, maroon-colored sofa; a soft bed fit for two covered in white sheet filled with heart patterns.
"Um...is this...your room?" Ryoga asked as Naomi walks ahead of him.
"Yes. And you're sleeping here." She replied with a smile. Ryoga's eyes opened wide when he heard that.
"M...me? Here? With you?" Ryoga said nervously. "But...I--" he got interrupted when Naomi tossed an extra blanket and pillow at him.
"Silly! You'll be sleeping on the sofa! I'm not that foolish to let you sleep beside me in bed!" she giggled.
"Oh. Ok..." Ryoga sighs with relief.
"Well, I'll still be doing something so why don't you go ahead and rest up?"
"All right. I'll be sleeping now."
"Very well." Naomi then walks through the door and looks back at him. "Sleep tight, Ryo."
"Um...goodnight." Ryo replied.
Shortly after she left the room, Ryoga lied down on the soft, comfortable sofa with the pillow Naomi gave him for his head and neck to rest on. As he looked up towards the ceiling, he began reminiscing about the events that happened to him from the event in Hokkaido up to his current situation onboard the White Base Kai. Then he could not help but wonder about the strange vision of the Mobile Suit being destroyed. And who was that girl that screamed? And what is the connection to how he managed to use the Grungust Nishiki's most powerful weapon before he passed out?
"I guess the only way to find out all this is to cooperate with them and finish the tests." He thought. He then made a sigh and slowly closed his eyes.

Chapter 3:
"Team-up Battle! The Two-Headed Fortress Beast!"
------------
Part 1
It is already morning. As expected, all units have been repaired and are ready to depart for the Saotome Research Institute. The two Gespensts and the Grungust Nishiki have already docked inside the Medea and is preparing for take off. Meanwhile, Koji has finished docking his Pilder onto Mazinger Z and is about to rendezvous with Sayaka and Boss, who have also ridden in their respective units. When Koji finally met up with the two, he is surprised to see his saucer ship, the TFO, flying in mid-air. He then receives a transmission from the TFO pilot.
"Hey, big brother! What do you think?"
"Shiro???" surprised Koji. "What are you doing piloting my TFO?"
"Yep!" Shiro responded. "While you were gone, I practiced hard in piloting a plane so I can one day pilot the Pilder when I grow up! And look! My training paid off and I can fly this thing with ease!"
"Shiro! You get that thing down right now! You are to stay here with Professor Yumi! You can't come with us! It's too dangerous!"
"Hey! You always say that to me ever since you get to pilot Mazinger Z! Why can't I come with you for once?"
"Don't argue with your big brother! You stay here at the lab and that's..." before Koji could finish his sentence, he is interrupted by Professor Yumi.
"Koji-kun. Do not worry. Shiro has indeed undergone pilot training in your absence and has shown great results. He can be of great help to you on this journey."
"But Professor, he is only a boy and he is my only family left! I don't want to lose him in case we are under attack!"
"It is all right, Koji-kun!" called in Professor Nosori. "We've made a few modifications to your TFO by adding some extra armor on it aside from more fuel, weapons, and extra thrusters for speed. With that and Shiro's training, he can take down a Metalbeast without getting hit!"
"That's right, Koji-kun." Seconds Sayaka. "Shiro-kun will be just fine."
Koji thought of it for a moment, and then finally agrees.
"All right. You can come with us, Shiro. But if we get into a battle, stay away so the enemy won't attack you, all right?"
"You got it, big brother!" Shiro shouts in excitement.
Then, a sound of an aircraft was heard not from near the Photo-Atomic Laboratory. It was the Medea now slowly leaving the area and moving on ahead. Koji, Sayaka, and Boss, then received a transmission again from Professor Yumi.
"Koji-kun. Sayaka. Boss. We are about to launch the rocket packs using the Jet Scrander's hangar. The rockets will be launched one by one using the minimum amount of conventional fuel so it will slowly fly down towards you three. Koji-kun, the docking procedure is similar to your docking to the Jet Scrander, so you know the drill. Sayaka and Boss, I will assist you in docking with your rocket packs."
"Yes sir!" the three replied.
"Each rocket has a switch that will convert its conventional fuel into Photo-Atomic Energy. As soon as you three dock onto your rocket packs, use the arms of your mecha to activate the switches. You must do this before the conventional fuel runs out or you will crash to the ground."
"I understand, father!" Sayaka replies.
"All right. I'm ready!" Koji replies too.
"Heh! This is a piece of cake!" said Boss.
"Alright, Koji will go first!" said Professor Yumi and Koji get his Mazinger Z into position.
"This is Professor Sewashi. First Rocket Pack will take in 5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Rocket Pack one, take off!"
Immediately Mazinger Z starts running as the first rocket pack takes off. Like the Jet Scrander, the rocket pack flies onto Mazinger Z's direction as it slowly flies down and as it gets close enough, Mazinger Z jumps and the rocket pack successfully docks onto its back. Then Mazinger Z places its hands on top of each missile where the switches are located. The switches are pressed and the rockets' engines released a burst of flames, giving a huge speed boost.
"This is Koji! Docking is successful and Mazinger Z is in flight!"
The news from Koji resulted in a lot of cheering from Sewashi, Mori Mori, and Nosori as Professor Yumi talks to Sayaka.
"Ok, Sayaka. You're next."
"Understood, father."
"When I give the signal, start running. Remember not to run too fast or too slow. Your speed must be at a moderate one enough for the rocket pack to catch up on you."
"All right."
"Ok. This is Professor Nosori! Second rocket pack will launch in 5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Rocket Pack two, take off!"
"Now, Sayaka!" signals Professor Yumi.
Like Koji's Mazinger Z, Sayaka's Aphrodi A started running as the second rocket pack is launched. Sayaka maintains at the right speed as the rocket pack slowly flies down on her Aphrodi A. As it gets close enough, Professor Yumi gives the signal.
"Ok, jump, Sayaka!"
Aphrodi A makes a jump and the rocket pack successfully docks onto the Aphrodi A's back. Aphrodi A then activates the switches and is now flying alongside Mazinger Z.
Ryoga's group, Koji, and Sayaka are now pulling away from sight of the institute. Boss is the next one to dock his Bossborot onto the last rocket pack. Shiro stayed behind with Koji's TFO to see to it that Boss docks successfully.
"This is Professor Mori Mori! Third rocket pack will launch in 5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Rocket Pack 3, go!"
"Go, Boss!" Professor Yumi signals.
But Boss doesn't seem to respond. The Bossborot still stays in its place. Shiro looks and notices that the Bossborot's eyes are closed: an indication that its pilot is asleep. Quickly, Shiro increases the transmission volume to max power as he contacts Boss.
"HEY, BOSS, YOU FATSO! WAKE UP~~~!!!!"
The bubble coming out of Boss's nose pop out as he suddenly woke up from Shiro's yelling.
"What-Where-Who-When-How!" Then he sees the rocket pack flying past him. "Yikes!" he shouts as the Bossborot starts running. Unfortunately, because of the Bossborot's fat-like size, it runs pretty slow and is unable to catch up as the third rocket pack slowly flies down.
Back inside the laboratory, the Professors watched at the situation.
"Oh no! He's not going to make it!" worries Professor Nosori.
Then Shiro suddenly jumps into action. He flies the TFO at max speed and moves it low until it is behind the Bossborot. Then, Shiro rams the TFO at the Bossborot's back, pushing the Bossborot for it to go faster. However, the speed still isn't fast enough and the third rocket pack is slowly running out of fuel. Shiro has to improvise. He pulls a lever from his control panel and the extra booster engines installed at the TFO's back activated with a huge blast of flames as it gives the TFO a burst of speed. The extra speed of the TFO caused the Bossborot to be pushed and run beyond its max limit, but enough to finally catch up with the rocket pack.
"NOW, BOSS! JUMP!" Shiro shouts as he switches off the boosters and flies away from the Bossborot. A panicked Boss executes the jump of his robot and just in time, successfully docks in with the last rocket pack. The Bossborot activates the switches and now flies off to catch with Ryoga and the others. Shiro follows behind.
"Well, it seems everything went ok." Koji said as he sees Boss and Shiro finally caught up with them. He then keeps his communications open alongside everyone so everyone can talk.
"How long will it take for us to get there?" Ryoga suddenly asked.
"At this speed, we should arrive at Professor Saotome's institute in less than 10 minutes." Koji replies.
"I see." Ryoga replies and sighs a bit. "Man! I can't believe I am going to visit the home of Getter Robo...It's like I get more than I bargained for."
"Heh. Look who's talking." Irmgardt suddenly made a comment.
"Say, Koji-kun?" Sayaka asks. "How did everything go back at Professor Umon's Research Center?"
"Professor Umon?" Ryoga asks.
"Since the end of the One-Year War, my brother went to Professor Umon's Research Center to study UFOs." Shiro explains. "He's been studying there for 6 years now and he comes to visit us every 6 months."
"I see." Then Ryoga asks Koji. "So how long are you supposed to stay before you have to go back to the research center, Mr. Kabuto?"
"Well, I'm only sticking around until the end of the New Year." Koji answers. "But under the circumstances, looks like my last semester will be postponed until this crisis is over. Oh, and can you please not call me 'Mr. Kabuto'? It sounds like I'm an old man already. 'Koji' is much better."
"Ok, Mister...err...I mean...Koji-san."
"Hmmm...but I wonder." Koji said as he adjusts the visor from his helmet. "How did Dr. Hell manage to get hold of those units from the Vega Empire, let along the Kyoryu Empire...?"
"Kyoryu Empire?"
Then suddenly, Ryoga felt the mysterious feeling once again. Images began to appear on his mind. There, he sees a large group of robot dinosaurs appearing from the sea and attacking a nearby building. Then suddenly, the images disappear as he heard his name being called.
"Ryoga? Ryoga!" It was Koji. "Didn't you hear me? I said the Kyoryuu Empire were..."
But Ryoga interrupts him.
"Everyone, listen! We have to get to Professor Saotome's research institute as soon as possible! The Mechasauruses are now launching an attack there!"
"An attack? How can you be so sure, Ryoga-kun?" Sayaka asks.
"I...'sensed' it..."
"Sensed?" surprised Koji. Then he remembers his old friend and comrade, Gundam pilot and One-Year War hero Amuro Ray. He recalled how many times Amuro sensed approaching enemy units which allowed him and the rest of the White Base crew to survive the relentless attacks from the Zeon forces successfully. Amuro's strong sense of intuition also helped him a lot in battle with his Gundam as well as able to communicate with others from great distances thru thought alone - a power possessed only by a NewType.
"I know it sounds crazy, but I've been getting this strange feeling ever since I started piloting this mech," said Ryoga. "I don't know, but if it were not for this, I may probably not be able to save my friends back in Hokkaido, nor did we knew the Photon Power Lab is under attack."
At first Koji wants to object to Ryoga's statement, but if that were true, then Professor Saotome and his daughter, Michiru, are in grave danger as the Getter pilots have left the institute after the One-Year War and gone their separate ways.
"Very well." Irmgardt said as he contacted the Medea pilot. "You heard the boy. Take us there at maximum speed."
"Affirmative, Lieutenant." Replied the Medea pilot.
"Koji-kun, can you keep up with us?" Irmgardt asks.
"Unfortunately, this is as fast as we can go, but we'll get there as soon as possible." Koji replies.
"All right, we'll be going on ahead. Irmgardt, out."
As the Medea slowly pulls away from Koji's group, Koji could not help but worry about the Saotome Research Institute, especially with the Getter team gone.
"I only hope Ryoma-kun and the others have returned in time..." Koji sighs.
------------
Part 2
Ryoga was right, sirens begin to ring around the Saotome Research Institute as Professor Saotome proceeds to the main office.
"What's going on?" asks the head of the institute.
"Professor! Three flying objects are heading towards us," said one of the operators. "They're Mechasauruses!"
"What!?! Impossible! Ryoma and the others have defeated the Kyoryuu Empire 7 years ago! How could they have possibly returned?"
"Professor! The Lady Commando is taking off!"
"What!?! Michiru?"
At the Saotome Institute's launch hangar, where the Gett Machines are located, Michiru takes off in her own fighter jet, the Lady Commando. As she positions her fighter in front of the institute, she can clearly see the incoming invaders. Three Mechasaurus Birds cry out as they approach their target.
"Michiru! Michiru!" Professor Saotome contacts his daughter. "Pull back! You will not be able to defeat all three Mechasauruses at once!"
"But father! With Ryoma and the others gone, there's no one to defend the institute. I have to fight them!" Michiru objects as she moves her white fighter craft forward engaging combat to the three Mechasauruses. Michiru makes an attack by shooting using the Lady Commando's Vulcans, but the Mechasauruses simply dodge out of the way and counter using their Wind Attacks. Michiru loses control of her Lady Commando as the gusts of wind knocks the white fighter craft back and sends it diving down the ground.
"MICHIRU!" shouts Professor Saotome as he sees his daughter's craft spinning as it is going down.
Michiru knew she has to act if she is to save herself. As the Lady Commando continues to spin while diving down, Michiru does her best to gain control of the craft even though the spinning is now making her dizzy. Grabbing the control stick with both hands, she pulls it up as hard as she can. The Lady Commando then stops spinning and pulls up just in time. But Michiru is not out of danger yet as one of the Mechasauruses started pursuing her while the other two head for the Saotome Institute. Then, Michiru receives another transmission from her father.
"Michiru! Are you all right?" asked Professor Saotome.
"Yes, father. I'm fine." She answered.
"Listen carefully! I'll help you out in the Gett Machine 3, so hold on a little longer!"
"That's no longer necessary!" a voice said interfering the communication between the Saotomes.
"That voice..." said Professor Saotome. "Ryoma-kun...?"
"Sorry to be late, Professor! We're on our way to the Getter Machines!" Ryoma replied. "Michiru! Just hold on a little longer! We will back you up!"
"OK!" replied Michiru as she moves her Lady Commando upwards, avoiding the Mechasaurus Bird's fireball attack. As she flies upwards until her craft is upside down and flying in the opposite direction, Michiru launches a series of Vulcans on the other two Mechasauruses who are nearing the Saotome Institute. The Vulcan bullets connect and both Mechasauruses were forced to back off. The three Mechasaurus Birds decide to retreat and regroup while Michiru positions her Lady Commando back in front of the Saotome Institute and prepares for the next move of her attackers. After regrouping for a while, the Mechasauruses made their move by attacking straight towards the Lady Commando. As they come close, the three suddenly split in three directions, confusing Michiru on which to attack first. Even more surprising is that the three Mechasaurus Birds completely ignored the Lady Commando and headed straight for the institute. However, as they come close within firing range and they are about to shoot their fireballs, three more fighter crafts suddenly came out from behind the institute to face the Mechasauruses. The three crafts then launched their missiles and hit the Mechasauruses right at their beaks, ceasing their attack. The Mechasauruses were forced to retreat and regroup the second time.
"Ryoma-kun! Hayato-kun! Musashi-kun!" shouts Michiru as she sees the three Gett Machines flew over her. She then hears a response from the three.
"Michiru! Good that you're ok!" said the pilot of the red Gett Machine, Ryoma.
"Michiru! Get back to the institute and have your craft repaired. We will take care of thing here!" said the pilot of the white Gett Machine, Hayato.
"Hey, Michiru-san! Watch me kick these beasties all over again!" said the pilot of the yellow Gett Machine, Musashi.
"OK! Lady Commando, returning to the institute!" Michiru responds and returns back to the institute.
Meanwhile, the three Mechasaurus Birds now make their attack on the three Gett Machines by doing a combined Wind Attack. The combined flapping of the Pterodactyl-like robots created a large gust of wind heading straight for the Gett Machines. However, Ryoma, Hayato, and Musashi countered by firing their missiles at the gust of wind. The counter failed as the missiles collide with one another. Even worse, the explosion of the missiles turned the gust of wind into a cloud of fire as it engulfs the Gett Machines. The Mechasauruses ceased their attack, thinking the clouds of flame would destroy the Gett Machines.
They were wrong.
The Gett Machines zoomed out of the cloud of fire and the three split up in three directions. The red Gett Machine goes straight in front, while the remaining two charged to the sides. The three Mechasauruses stayed close together getting ready for the Gett Machines' attack. Then as they get close, the Gett Machines did a Power Climb, flying up vertically above the three Mechasauruses. Then, after regrouping with one another, the Gett Machines made a vertical Power Dive while in a circular motion.
"GETT MACHINE ATTACK!!!!!" the three Getter pilots shouted as they shower Vulcan bullets at the three confused Mechasauruses. The bullets hit the flying mechs and brought severe damage on them. The three finished their assault by showering their enemies with missiles before splitting up once again. The missiles connect, destroying all three Mechasauruses at once.
"This is Ryoma! All Mechasaurus units destroyed!"
"Ryoma!" shouts Musashi. "Look! Over there!"
The three Getter pilots turned and looked as the lake not far from the institute suddenly rises up and as the water crashes down, they saw a huge white fortress hovering in front of them. The fortress looks much like a combination of a flying saucer and a top, with an evil looking face on the front.
"It can't be!" said Hayato. "That's the Mikeros!"
"So, our paths cross once again, Getter!" a loud voice echoed from the flying fortress.
"Duke Gorgon!" shouted Ryoma. "We thought we got rid of you and the rest of Dr. Hell's forces! How the hell did you come back!?!"
From inside the Mikeros, a figure closely observes the three Gett Machines. The figure is looks like a Roman Legionnaire with the lower half of his body being that of a Saber Tooth Tiger, complete with the head. The Saber Tooth growls at the screen showing the three Gett Machines as the figure talks back to Ryoma.
"It does not matter!" shouts Duke Gorgon. "If it not for the interference of you, Raideen, and Mazinger Z, our objective would've been realized and I will not have to face 7 years of humiliation! Now, I have returned and I WILL extract my vengeance against you! OBSERVE!"
Suddenly, three missiles came out of the waters and hit the Gett Machines by surprise. The three pilots lost control of their Gett Machines as the impact of the missile fire knocks them back. Inside, Professor Saotome and his daughter Michiru were shocked at what they see.
Fortunately, Ryoma, Hayato, and Musashi are well trained in piloting their Gett Machines and thus respond quickly to the situation they are in. The three pulled back a lever on their left side and more thrust were fired from the engines of their Gett Machines, resulting in the fighters to move in one direction. The three then regained control of their fighter crafts and began making a Line Formation as they head upwards.
But then, something went wrong.
All three of the Gett Machines' engines suddenly burst a cloud of flames and the three were forced to break their formation. Surprisingly, despite the explosion from their engines, they still maintained flight. But they are not out of the woods yet as missiles are again fired from the waters. The three began evasive maneuvers only to discover something - their Gett Machines are losing speed. The three got hit once again, though there was no knock back this time around. However, one can clearly see the damage the missiles have made on the Gett Machines as the three now fly on low altitude within the forest, their speed dwindling continuously.
"Ugh! What happened!?! Why are we slowing down!?!" grunts Ryoma.
"Damn that Duke Gorgon!" ranted Hayato. "Those missiles hit close to our engines, damaging them badly!"
"Arrgh! Our speed continues to slow down!" shouts Musashi. Then three received a transmission from Professor Saotome.
"Ryoma! Hayato! Musashi! Withdraw and return to the institute immediately! Your Gett Machines are badly damaged!"
"Negative, Professor!" replied Ryoma. "If we retreat now, then Duke Gorgon will surely win! We have to press on!"
"But Ryoma, our Gett Machines are badly damaged!" Musashi objects. "We can't combine into Getter Robo in this condition!"
"I know, Musashi! But we have to take the risk! We need Getter Robo if we are to defeat Duke Gorgon!"
"You can't be serious, Ryoma!!! Hayato, surely you object to his decision, right?"
"I agree with Ryoma." Hayato replies. "Whether we withdraw or not, Duke Gorgon still has the upper hand, so better for us to take him on instead."
"All right, everyone! Let's begin Getter Formation!" Ryoma commands as he flies his Red Gett Machine upwards out of the forest, exposing himself to the sight of the Mikeros. Hayato in White Gett Machine follows suit. Musashi, despite still having doubts on Ryoma's decision, follows them as well in his Yellow Gett Machine.
"So, they still wish to fight despite their condition? Very well!!!" shouts Duke Gorgon as he waved his sword forwards. "Bird! Zai! Zu! Destroy those pests!"
Then, the Mechasauruses finally emerged from the waters. The first that came out is yet another Mechasaurus Bird. The second one is a Rhinoceros-like robot, the Mechasaurus Zai. The third one, the Mechasaurus Zu, is a two-headed giant reptile robot standing ground on shore. The Mechasaurus Bird makes the first attack as it lunges at the slow moving Gett Machines with its metal beak open as though ready to eat its prey. However, it was taken aback as a series of Vulcan bullets hit its face and body.
"Michiru-san!" shouted Hayato.
"Everyone, hurry and combine! I'll hold them off!" shouted Michiru.
The other two Mechasauruses are about to fire their missiles, but were halted when they suddenly got hit from the sides by a series of projectiles. Duke Gorgon looks at the direction where the projectiles came from and it there, he sees a robot wearing a white cape and cowboy's hat and is holding a rifle.
"Hey, hey! Looks like we came here on time!" shouted a man's voice from the cowboy robot with a sort of a southern cowboy accent.
"It's the Texas Mac!" shouted Michiru. "Jack! Mary! Is it really you two?"
"We'll keep these varmints busy!" shouted a female voice also coming from the cowboy robot. "You boys better combine right now!"
"All right!" replied Ryoma. "Hayato, Musashi! Let's Change Getter!!!" then flies his Gett Machine vertically upwards.
"Understood!" Hayato replies as he follows.
"Let's do it!" says Musashi as he follows as well.
"LET'S GO!" Ryoma shouts as he pulls a lever from his controls. "CHANGE~~~ GETTER 1! SWITCH ON!!!"
Then the Yellow Gett Machine began to morph. Legs began forming from its rear as it combines with the White Gett Machine in front of it. Simultaneously, arms quickly shoot out of the White Gett Machine. Finally, the Red Gett Machine combined with the other two and a head was formed and a cape was released from its back. The combination sequence is complete.
Getter Robo is ready for action.
------------
Part 3
Suddenly, the Getter Robo fell down on one knee.
"Hey! What happened?" Musashi asks.
"The damage we took from the Mechasauruses was too much. Getter 1's power has gone down because of it!" explained Hayato.
"How do you like that, Getter Robo!?!" laughs Duke Gorgon. "With you now weakened, you have no chance of defeating us! Today's the day you will lie down in your grave! And after that, so will Mazinger Z and Raideen!" He then waves his sword forwards once more. "METALBEASTS, GO!"
Then from the Mikeros, out comes Dr. Hell's Metalbeast army. Garada K7, Daburas M2, Toros D2, and Abdullah U6 all come out to support the Mechasauruses on the ground. Then, the Giru Giru was deployed from the Mikeros to support the Mechasaurus Bird. The Giru Giru's appearance surprised the Getter Team.
"A Vega Beast!?!" Ryoma shouts "How is that possible!?!"
"But I thought all of the Vega Forces were defeated by Grendizer!" said Michiru. "How could they still exist?"
"Oh no! We're outnumbered and outgunned!" shouted Jack. Then everyone received a transmission from Professor Saotome.
"Everybody, listen! A battleship is on its way here along with Grendizer! They will come to support us!"
"How long until they get here, father?" asked Michiru.
"5 minutes!"
"Then we'll just have to hold on until then!" Ryoma said. But he knows that although 5 minutes isn't that a long time, in the field of battle, 5 minutes is more like 5 hours.
"Ryoma-kun! Can you run while on the ground?" asked Professor Saotome.
"I think so, Professor!"
"Good! I will launch a new weapon for Getter 1 from the hangar. It will aid you greatly in this battle. But once the weapon is launched you MUST catch it before the enemy destroys it, understood?"
"Affirmative!"
"Jack, Mary, and Michiru! Give the Getter 1 some cover!"
"Yes, father!" replied Michiru
"No problem, Professor!" said Mary.
"We'll show these guys how we Texans deal with troublemakers!" said Jack.
Then Duke Gorgon's robot army makes their attack. All of them fired their missiles. The target = Getter 1.
"RYO!!!!!" Musashi shouts.
"OPEN GETT!!!!" shouts Ryoma just before the Getter 1 is engulfed in flames and smoke as the missile barrage hits it.
"Not even Getter Robo can survive a missile barrage attack!" said Duke Gorgon as he watches. As the smoke and flames slowly fade, below the feet of the Toros D2, a large drill suddenly came out of the ground and through the Metalbeast. The Metalbeast is then pushed upwards revealing the one that attacked it.
"NO!" shouted Duke Gorgon. "Getter 2!?!"
Just before the rest of Gorgon's robots could react, the Getter 2 aimed his drill-like arm at the nearest Metalbeast and fires it along with the impaled Toros D2. The impaled Toros D2 rams the nearest Metalbeast, which is the Abdullah U6, and explodes. The impact, blast, and burning flames were too much for the Abdullah U6 to resist, thus resulting in its end as well.
"Nice job, Hayato!" Ryoma said.
"No time to celebrate! We still have plenty more to deal with!" Hayato replied.
Then both Garada K7 and Daburas M2 make their attack on the Getter 2, but were halted when the Texas Mac runs towards them and pulls out its twin Magnum pistols and fires at the two Metalbeasts, hitting them repeatedly on their heads. The two tried to turn around to counter but the Texas Mac continues firing on their heads until eventually, the cowboy robot runs out of ammo. Then, placing both tips of the pistols near its mouth, the Texas Mac blows the smoke from the guns as Garada K7 and Daburas M2 falls down to the ground. Their heads severely damaged. Then Texas Mac looks up to see the Lady Commando now engaging combat against the Mechasaurus Bird and the Vega Beast Giru Giru.
"Brother! Michiru needs help!" said Mary.
"Ok, my sister! Back her up! I'll help you from here!" replied Jack.
Then Mary pulls a lever from her controls and the metal hat of the Texas Mac takes off from its head. Then, the hat of the Texas Mac fires a series of Vulcan bullets on the Giru Giru just in time before the Vega Beasts does a Spin Attack on Michiru. Angered by the interference, Giru Giru tries to attack again, but is taken aback by the Texas Mac as it fires its rifles on the Vega Beast. Michiru, on the other hand, has done well keeping the Mechasaurus Bird at bay as her Lady Commando fires its own Vulcan bullets and hits in the mouth of the Mechasaurus just before it releases fireballs from its beak.
Meanwhile, Mechasauruses Zai and Zu fire their missiles on the Getter 2. However, none of the missiles hit Getter 2 thanks to its speed and agility. Then, pointing its drill arm on the Mechasaurus Zu, the drill starts to spin. Then it starts to spin faster and faster, until a tornado was formed and hits the Mechasaurus Zu. Though the tornado was not enough to send the Mechasaurus to the air, the Mechasaurus Zu screams as though it is in pain. That is because the tornado is also filled with high voltage electric currents to bring damage to its target. This is the effect of the Getter 2's attack, the 'Drill Storm'.
This is now the Mechasaurus Zai's chance to counterattack. While Getter 2 is busy keeping Mechasaurus Zu at bay, the Rhinoceros-like robot starts charging right towards Getter 2. Then, suddenly, something strange happened -- The Mechasaurus just went THROUGH the Getter 2! It turns out that the Getter 2 the Mechasaurus attacked was nothing more but an illusion as it slowly fades away from sight - a technique known as 'After-image'. A move that enables the Getter 2 to move so fast, it creates an illusion of itself. As the confused Mechasaurus looked left and right to see where the Getter Robo is, Getter 2 reappeared right in front of the Mechasaurus. Then ANOTHER Getter 2 appeared on its rear. Both are still in their After-image state. The Mechasaurus Zai constantly turns around, trying to figure out which is the real Getter. Confused and dazed, the Mechasaurus roars. Then suddenly both After-image Getter 2s strike at the Mechasaurus. One drove its drill to the mouth. The other Getter drove its drill to the Mechasaurus's rear end.
"DRILL PUNCH!" Hayato shouts as the Getter 2's drill was fired from its arm. A hole was drilled out of the Mechasaurus's rear end from the inside and the After-image Getter 2 from the Mechasaurus's rear disappeared as the flying drill went through it. Then the Mechasaurus Zai explodes engulfing the Getter 2.
The real Getter 2 is at the Mechasaurus Zai's front all along.
The Mechasaurus Zu, in desperation, fires its missiles from both its mouths continuously at the smoke and flames, hoping that the missiles hit the Getter, damaging it before it makes another move. The Mechasaurus continues firing until it cannot fire anymore. Then, it stands still and waits for the smoke and flames to clear to see if the Getter has taken damage. When the smoke and flames clear, the Getter 2 was nowhere to be found and when the Mechasaurus Zu looked further, tt saw that there is a hole dug on the ground. The Getter 2 has escaped.
Then suddenly, from the waters behind the Mechasaurus Zu, yellow arms were stretched out to the surface and wraps around the Mechasaurus Zu by surprise. Slowly, a tank-like robot came out of the surface while continuously gripping tight its victim. Both heads of the Mechasaurus Zu cough out blood as the arms of its attacker continuous to spin around it, crushing its body. Like a large Python snake circling around and squeezes its victim.
"Let's finish this, Getter 3!" Musashi laughs and grins as he pulls down a lever while shouting the name of his Getter's attack. "DAISETSU ZAN OROSHII!!!!!"
Then the Getter 3 slowly lifts up its victim and starts doing a Giant Swing-like maneuver, then it starts to swing faster and faster. A tornado is then formed, surrounding the Getter and the Mechasaurus. Then, Getter 3 releases the Mechasaurus and the tornado sends the hapless two-headed reptile robot in the air and falls hard on the ground. Getter 3 finishes its assault by firing two large missiles from its head, destroying the immobile Mechasaurus. Shortly thereafter, Musashi just noticed the new weapon Professor Saotome mentioned ejected out of the institute and is in the air.
"Ryoma!" Musashi calls.
"I got it! OPEN GETT!" Ryoma shouts as the three Gett Machines separate and changed back to Getter 1, quickly leaps in the air and grabs the machinegun-like weapon, then aims it at the Mechasaurus Bird and fires. "GETTER MACHINEGUN FIRE!"
Meanwhile, the Mechasaurus Bird has finally caught the Lady Commando off-guard and is about to strike when missiles from the Getter Machinegun hit the Pterodactyl-like robot continuously. The Lady Commando then fires its Vulcan bullets on the Mechasaurus Bird. Both missiles and Vulcans damaged the Mechasaurus severely as falls down hard on the ground and exploded. Seeing the Mechasaurus destroyed, the Giru Giru ignores the Texas Mac as it immediately executes its Spin Attack and goes toward the Getter 1.
"Ryoma! Incoming!" shouted Hayato.
"All right! GETTER WING!" Ryoma shouts as a red metal cape is released from the Getter 1's back and leaps high into the air, avoiding the Vega Beast's attack. Then, the Giru Giru stops its Spin Attack and fires laser beams from its shell. The Getter 1 dodges the beams and goes below the Vega Beast.
"GETTER TOMAHAWK!!!!" Ryoma shouts as the Getter 1 pulls out a Tomahawk from its shoulder and strikes it at the Giru Giru's belly, slicing it open. Getter 1 then moves out of the way as the last of Duke Gorgon's mechs explode in the air.
"Now it's your turn, Duke Gorgon!" Ryoma shouts
"Well, well...it seems I have underestimated you. Even in your weakened state, you can still fight hard and well." Duke Gorgon said. "However...I AM NOT BEATEN YET! COME OUT, MECHASAURUS DAI!"
Then suddenly, a barrage of missiles, fireballs, and Vulcan bullets are fired from the sea and hitting whatever it is on the ground or in the air. Fortunately, the Getter team, Michiru, and Texas Mac managed to stay out of the projectile barrage. Then, a gigantic two-headed dinosaur robot slowly emerged from the waters, roaring in its rage. A huge fortress complete with cannons and missiles is mounted on the dinosaur's back.
"No...it can't be..." shocked Ryoma.
"Mechasaurus Dai! But I thought we defeated it 7 years ago!" shouted Musashi. "Don't tell me King Gore is alive!"
"No." said Hayato. "If King Gore were alive, he would not have been under Duke Gorgon in the first place. My hunch is that this Mechasaurus Dai is AI controlled. But even so, we have to be careful."
"I'm picking up something on my radar! It's coming from the south!" Michiru said.
"Is it the Grendizer?" asked Hayato.
"No. I don't think so. But it's getting close."
Hearing the conversation, Professor Saotome turned on the main screen in the main office to check the approaching craft. It was a Medea. Back at the Mikeros, Duke Gorgon sees it also. Then, the cargo doors of the Medea were opened and Ryoga, Daiken, and Irmgardt came out in their respective units.
"Getter team! This is Lt. Irmgardt! Are you all right?" contacted Irmgardt.
"Irmgardt! Is that you?" replied Ryoma.
"Thank goodness you're here to help us!" said Michiru.
Back at the institute, Professor Saotome was shocked at what he sees.
"It can't be...! The Grungust Nishiki? But how?"
Duke Gorgon was shocked to see it as well.
"The Grungust Type II! Why is it here? Damn that Baron Ashler for failing to capture it!"
Then shortly thereafter, Koji's team arrived at the scene. They all detached their rocket packs after landing on the ground.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't feather-brain Gorgon!" Koji shouts.
"Mazinger Z! You have come!" surprised Duke Gorgon.
"That's right, Duke Gorgon! And we're here to beat you again just like we did 7 years ago!"
Duke Gorgon only laughs. "Do you honestly think you can beat me again? Not this time! With my Mikeros and the Mechasaurus Dai, you will all perish by my hand!"
"Come on! Show me what you've got!" shouted Koji.
"Everyone, proceed with caution! The Mechasaurus Dai is an extremely powerful enemy!" Hayato instructs everyone. "Don't take any reckless actions!"
"Understood!" Irmgardt replies, and then turns to Ryoga. "You got that, Kazehino?"
"Yes, I understand." Ryoga replies.
"All right. Here's what we will do..." Irmgardt instructs everyone. "Koji-kun and Sayaka will try his best to get the enemy's attention while the Getter Team will attack from above. Daiken and I will strike from the sides and attempt to take some of the enemy's cannons."
"Hey! Why can't I attack?" Shiro asks.
"Because it's too dangerous for you, you idiot!" Koji quickly responds.
"Hey! I can handle these baddies!"
"No! Koji-san's right." Ryoga interrupts. "You're needed here with me and Boss as we don't have any weapons, so we both cannot attack the enemy directly."
"But, doesn't your mecha use weapons too?" Shiro asks Ryoga. "Why can't you use them?"
Ryoga did not answer. He knew that up to this point, he still cannot figure out how to use the Grungust Nishiki's weapons. Until then, his only means of offense is his skill in the Martial Arts. However, seeing how huge the Mechasaurus Dai is, punches and kicks won't be enough to defeat it.
"All right. Does everyone understand the plan?" Irmgardt asks.
"Understood." Everyone replied.
"Very well. Begin to engage the enemy!"
------------
Part 3
"All right, Sayaka-san! Let's do it!" said Koji.
"Ready, Koji-kun!" Sayaka replied as she gets her Aphrodi A ready to attack. "Koushiryoku Missiles, fire!"
"Missile Punch, fire!!!"
Both Mazinger Z and Aphrodi A began firing a series of missiles in front of the Mechasaurus Dai. The Mechasaurus only reacted by making a low growl as though the missiles only stunned it lightly. Meantime, it was the Getter Team's turn to attack. Getter 1 starts by using its Getter Machinegun once more. The Lady Commando follows up with its Vulcan bullets while the Texas Mac leaps up in the air to fly, pulls out two twin magnum pistols and starts firing on its target. Though the attacks from the air and the ground are providing only minimal damage, they now began to irritate the Mechasaurus Dai.
Now it was the two Gespensts to make their attack. They both rushed to the sides of the Mechasaurus and pulled out their Plasma Cutters. Then, the two charged at the giant fortress beast. Irmgardt used his Gespenst's boosters to jump up and threw the Plasma Cutter on one of the Mechasaurus Dai's cannons, destroying it. Daiken, being that his Gespenst's boosters are still inoperable, decides to jump towards the Mechasaurus, land both feet on the Mechasaurus's skin and IMMEDIATELY jump up backwards - a Triangle-Jump. Then, Daiken's Gespenst throws its Plasma Cutter to destroy another of the Mechasaurus's cannons.
The attack was a success.
"Ha! How's that?" Koji shouted. "Now it's time I make barbecued dinosaur meat out of you! Here's the final blow - BREAST FIRE!!!!!"
A red beam of pure extreme heat energy is fired from the Mazinger Z's chest. The Mechasaurus Dai now makes a loud roar as it takes damage from the Breast Fire. Strangely, though, Duke Gorgon stands his ground and remains calm as the Mechasaurus Dai takes a lot of punishment. Duke Gorgon only made a grin as he watches the fight.
Then, drills suddenly came out of the ground where both Mazinger Z and Aphrodi A are standing. Both were taken off balance as two Mechasauruses suddenly came up from the earth. From the air, Ryoma can easily recognize the two Mechasauruses as he has battled them before during the One-Year War. These two new Mechasauruses are modified T-Rex like dinosaurs, almost resembling that of the famous movie monster Godzilla. Metal armor covers the head and torso. Drills are mounted above their heads and their claws are specially designed not just to slash but even be used as an additional drill on its victims. The name of these Mechasauruses is the Mechasaurus Zen II.
"Koji-kun! Sayaka-san!" Ryoma shouts, but before he could get the Getter 1 into action, Duke Gorgon makes his move. Twin laser beam are fired from the eyes of the fortress and hits the flying Texas Mac by surprise, sending it down. The Mikeros fires its beams once more on Getter 1, but Ryoma notices it this time and dodges. At the same time, however, the Mechasaurus Dai makes its move and fires its remaining cannons in the air, hitting Getter 1 just as it dodges the beams from the Mikeros. The cannons also hit the Lady Commando.
"Damn!" grunts Irmgardt as the tides seem to change in favor of Duke Gorgon. And it is even more so when two more Mechasaurus Zen II units appeared from the ground and grabbed both Gespensts by the neck. Then, using their free metal claws, the Mechasaurus Zen II units spun them into a drill-like form and begins driving it right on the cockpits of the two Gespensts.
"OH NO! WE'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE!" Boss shouts as it seems only him, Ryoga, and Shiro are the only ones left. The Getter Team's down, Koji, Sayaka, Irmgardt, and Daiken are under attack by the four Mechasauruses. And both the Mikeros and the Mechasaurus Dai are ready to make their next move.
"What are we going to do?" Shiro asks.
Ryoga grits his teeth and grunts. He knows he has to think fast as Koji and the others are now facing grave danger. Then, he gives out his instructions to Shiro and Boss.
"Shiro! Attack the two Mechasauruses from the air! Try to get their attention!"
"Huh? Uh...Ok!" Shiro replies and moves his TFO upwards. "Missiles fire!" he shouts as he attacks the two Mechasaurus attacking Mazinger Z and Aphrodi A.
"Boss! Attack the Mechasaurus on the right! I'll attack on the left!"
"O~~~K!" Boss shouts as he and Ryoga move their mechas simultaneously. Then, while the two Mechasauruses are distracted from Shiro's attacks, both the Grungust Nishiki and the Bossborot threw a straight punch on them.
"SPECIAL BOROT PUNCH!" Boss shouts as the Bossborot lands a hard punch on one Mechasaurus Zen II, knocking it down. The other Mechasaurus was knocked back by the punch from the Grungust Nishiki. It then follows up its attack with two kicks to the side, two body blows and an uppercut and finishes with a roundhouse kick to the stomach. The Mechasaurus Zen II then reels back until its side-by-side with the other Mechasaurus Zen II that has recently got up. Then both the Grungust Nishiki and the Bossborot rushed towards the two Mechasauruses and executed a Double Drop Kick on both of them. The two Mechasauruses then flipped over, but as they landed on the ground, they made their retreat by drilling deep below the surface. With the first two Zen II units taken out for a while, Ryoga immediately rushes to aid Irmgardt and Daiken. To his surprise, both made their moves to take out their attackers. Irmgardt activated his Gespenst's boosters to loosen the Zen II's grip on his unit and does a knee attack to the head. As the Zen II reels back, while still in mid-air, Irmgardt uses the boosters again to rush his Gespenst forward and execute an air kick to the face. Daiken's counter move is by using his Geshpenst's Smash Beam right at the other Zen II's face, followed by a rush-in punch to the gut, an uppercut, and finishes with a side kick to the gut. Like the previous two, the remaining Mechasaurus Zen II units dived down below the earth to retreat and regroup.
"Lt. Irmgardt! Lt. Daiken! Are you two all right?" Ryoga contacts both of them.
"Affirmative." Irmgardt responds. "What about Koji and Sayaka?"
"We're ok, Irmgardt-san." Koji replies. "Just a bit shaken up from those two Mechasauruses."
"Getter Team! Are you...AAGH!!" before Irmgardt could finish his sentence, he was taken down by beam attacks from Duke Gorgon's Mikeros.
"Lt. Irmgardt!" Ryoga shouts. Then suddenly, the feeling returned to him again, this time, giving him a sense that grave danger is approaching him. Then, as he looks to the right, he sees the Mechasaurus Dai now rushing in on him and quickly turns around swinging its giant tail at the Grungust.
"Ryo-kun, watch out!" Koji shouts as he rushes towards the Grungust Nishiki and pushes it away. The giant tail then hits Mazinger Z instead, sending it up in the air and crashing down to the ground.
"KOJI-KUN!!" Sayaka shouts.
"KABUTO!!!" shouts Boss.
"BIG BROTHER!" Shiro cries.
As the Grungust Nishiki, slowly gets up, Ryoga can see the Mazinger Z lying motionless on the ground.
"Koji-san!" Ryoga shouts.
Then the Mechasaurus Dai opens its mouths and prepares to fire missiles, but was halted when Daiken's Gespenst fires its Smash Beams. However, Duke Gorgon notices this and delivers a strong blow to the Gespenst by firing its own beams.
"Lt. Daiken!" Ryoga shouts and tries to attend to him, but was taken back when two of the Mechasaurus Zen II units emerged from the earth and blocked his way. The other two blocked Sayaka, Boss, and Shiro's path as they try to attend the fallen Mazinger Z. Ryoga and the others then stayed together as the Zen II units surround them. Duke Gorgon laughs as he sees that victory is within his grasp.
"Observe! Your friends have fallen! Now you too will join them!" he shouts.
"Rats! What are we going to do now?" Shiro worries. "Big brother and the Getter Team are still down!"
"And Lt. Daiken and Lt. Irmgardt are out too..." said Sayaka.
"WAAAH! I DON'T WANT TO DIE HERE!!!!" wails Boss.
"Pull yourself together, Boss!" Sayaka scolds him, then asks Ryoga. "What are we going to do now?"
Ryoga tries to think, then notices notices that the Getter Robo is gone. Only the Texas Mac, Mazinger Z, and the Lady Commando remained on the ground. He then concluded that the Getter Robo might have transformed to Getter 2 and hid under the ground. Seeing a chance to turn the tides of the battle, he began talking to Sayaka and the others.
"All right, listen, everybody. Sayaka-san and I are going to distract these Mechasauruses as much as we can. Boss, you are to check to see if the rest of the Getter team members are all right. Shiro, go to Mazinger Z and see if Koji is all right. We're all going to do this on my signal, got it?"
"OK." Everyone agreed.
"Are you done saying your prayers?" Duke Gorgon calls out. "Then, prepare to die!"
Suddenly, Getter 2 resurfaces to the surprise of everyone but Ryoga.
"DRILL PUNCH!!" Hayato shouts as the Getter 2's drill-like arm is fired and hits one of the Mechasaurus Zen II units.
"NOW!" Ryoga shouts and everyone made his or her move. Ryoga and Sayaka executed a Lariat to bring down the rest of the Mechasaurus units. Boss quickly goes for the Rocket Packs. Shiro moves his TFO towards Mazinger Z. The Duke, seeing his adversaries' new course of action, makes his move by attacking again with his Mikeros. Only this time, his attack was stopped when a wave of lightning attacked the Mikeros from the rear.
"SPACE THUNDER~~~!!!" a voice shouted as another wave of lightning hits the Mikeros once again.
"Space Thunder?" Ryoga wondered.
"Could it be...?" said Sayaka.
"Finally! We've got some backup!" shouted Ryoma.
"Now the tides have turned." Hayato said.
Ryoga, Sayaka, and Getter Robo looked up in the sky to confirm it and there, they saw a white saucer-like ship similar to the Vega Beast, however a robot suddenly came out of its saucer shell and they all heard the voice from what seems to be the voice of the robot's pilot.
"GRENDIZER, GO!!!!!"
------------
Part 4
"Grendizer?" wondered Ryoga as he watches the airborne robot continuing its attack on the Mikeros. Then, he had a sudden feeling that he has seen and heard of the name before. But Ryoga was fully aware that he has no time to think as he sees the missiles of the Mechasaurus Dai have been fired and is heading straight for him and Sayaka. Quickly he moves his Grungust Nishiki towards Sayaka's Aphrodi A and both ducked down in time as the missiles missed their target.
"You ok, Sayaka-san?" Ryoga asks.
"Yes, I'm all right." Sayaka responds.
"Doggone it!" he grunted. "That thing is really getting the best of us! We have to take it down and we have to do it now!"
Then just as the Mechasaurus Dai is about to make its attack, two beams of light from the air hit the Mechasaurus Dai and it has caught its attention. There it looked at and see two fighter crafts. One is a white craft and the other is a blue craft with drills. Then slowly flying behind the two fighters is a giant battleship.
"That ship..." Ryoga said to himself as he can easily recognize the ship's size and shape.
"Look! To your right!" Hayato shouts at Ryoga. Ryoga then turned to see the Mechasaurus Zen II units have regrouped and all are making a charge attack on him, Sayaka, and Getter 2. Just as Sayaka and Getter 2 prepare for the attack, the Grungust Nishiki stood in front of them.
"Ryoga-kun! What are you doing?" said Sayaka.
"What's that pilot doing?" complained Hayato as Ryoga suddenly rushed towards the four Mechasaurus Zen II units. Then, as the Grungust Nishiki gets close, it makes a leap in the air and delivers a kick to the side of the face of one Mechasaurus Zen II, knocking it to the side. Then, as soon as the Grungust Nishiki lands both feet on the ground, it quickly executed a Roundhouse Kick on the remaining Mechasauruses just as they get close to strike.
"That move..." Ryoma said as he witnessed how the Grungust Nishiki executed its attack.
Seeing the Mechasauruses knocked down for a while once again, Ryoga turned to Sayaka.
"Go, Sayaka-san!" he said. "The rest of us will take care of things here. You go help Lt. Irmgardt and Lt. Daiken!"
Meanwhile, Duke Gorgon has had about enough of the Grendizer pummeling his Mikeros. He then turned the Mikeros around to and began firing a series of beams on the Grendizer. However, the Grendizer was too fast to hit. But that changed when the Mechasaurus Dai suddenly fired its cannons to keep its attackers at bay and immediately fired missiles on the Grendizer. The missiles hit the flying mecha on its back and send it down.
"Daisuke-san!" a female voice shouted as the white fighter craft fled towards the falling Grendizer. The Mechasaurus Dai tried to attack the white craft, but was kept back by the attacks from the blue fighter craft. Duke Gorgon, on the other hand, now has a bigger problem as the white battleship is attacking his Mikeros. To make things worse, a brown robot appeared from the white battleship and is providing additional firepower against the Mikeros. The white craft then docks onto the back of the Grendizer and the Grendizer takes its flight once again.
"Daisuke-san! Are you all right?" asked the female pilot of the white craft.
"I'm ok, Hikaru," answered the Grendizer pilot. "Let's go help Maria and the others."
"Ok." Hikaru replies.
Back on the ground, Getter 2 and the Grungust Nishiki are doing well in battling with the four Mechasaurus Zen II units. However, for Ryoga's case, he knows it will take more than punches and kicks to ultimately defeat the two Mechasauruses he's handling. Then, it came at one point where one of the Mechasauruses fired missiles and hit the Grungust Nishiki's face. While no damage has been done, it has, however, affected Ryoga's vision in battle, which gave the other Mechasaurus a chance to strike hard at the rear side of the Grungust. Both Mechasauruses then drove their drill-formed claws on the blue robot, trying to damage its armor. Surprisingly, the drill attacks did not cause much damage. But the shock from the drill attacks is taking its toll on Ryoga. Also, the drill attacks are keeping the Grungust Nishiki unable to move.
"RUST HURRICANE!" a voice shouted and a burst of wind hits and lifts up the Mechasaurus behind the Grungust Nishiki airborne. Though the Rust Hurricane did not completely turn the Mechasaurus into rust because of its skin, it has turned the other metallic parts of its body into such. Because parts of its head are metallic, the Rust Hurricane has affected the AI chip in its brain, resulting for the Mechasaurus to no longer function as it falls hard on the earth. With the other Mechasaurus out, the Grungust Nishiki can now move despite the drill attack. With this, the blue robot grabs the drill arm of the Mechasaurus Zen II, twists it, and pushes it away. The Mechasaurus Zen II then opens its mouth to fire its missiles, but as it's about to fire, the Grungust Nishiki lunges its fist right at the mouth of the Mechasaurus Zen II, resulting for the missile to explode inside the mouth of the Mechasaurus. The Mechasaurus Zen II then breathes out smoke from its mouth as it slowly falls to the ground and stays motionless. Ryoga then turns around to see the Mazinger Z now up and ready.
"Koji-san!" Ryoga shouted. "Are you all right?"
"I'm still a little bit shaken up, but I'm all right." He replied.
"Yeah! And I have to slap your face several times just because you were asleep!" Shiro suddenly shouted as his TFO flies over the Mazinger Z.
"Shut up, Shiro!" Koji shouted.
Then, a loud explosion was heard from the short distance. One of the Mechasaurus Zen II units has been destroyed due to taking severe damage from the Getter 2's Drill Punch. The last remaining Mechasaurus Zen II then tries to flee, only to meet two missiles coming from the Aphrodi A, followed by a Drill Storm from the Getter 2, sending the Mechasaurus in the air. Then taking hits from the Texas Mac and Lady Commando. Then taking more hits from Irmgardt's Gespenst, and is finished off by Daiken's Gespenst's Smash Beam.
"Everyone! Are you all ok?" Ryoga asked.
"We're all ok, Kazehino-kun." Irmgardt replied. "Now let's bring this giant lizard back where it came from!"
"Lt. Kazahara! Come in, Lt. Kazahara! Report your status!" a female voice was heard from Irmgardt's transmission.
"This is Lt. Kazahara! All units are alive and well!" Irmgardt replied. "About to engage combat with the enemy, over!"
"Roger, Lieutenant, over!"
Meanwhile, Duke Gorgon is now in big trouble as his Mikeros is receiving too much damage from the attacks from the brown mecha and the white battleship.
"This is too much!!!" he shouted and gives the order to flee. While still receiving further damage from the white battleship and the brown mecha, the Mikeros has successfully left the scene of the battle. Now, only the Mechasaurus Dai is left.
"SCREW CRUSHER PUNCH!" shouted the Grendizer pilot as the robot's arms are detached the same way as Mazinger Z's Rocket Punch. Only this time, the fists are covered with red colored metal blades forming a drill as they spin towards the Mechasaurus Dai. However, the Mechasaurus Dai uses its tail to parry the Screw Crusher Punch.
"BREAST FIRE!" Koji shouted as the Mazinger Z fires its heat beam at the Mechasaurus Dai. It is then followed by shots from the Texas Mac's Twin Magnums, Lady Commando's Vulcan bullets, TFO's missiles, Aphrodi A's missiles, and Daiken's Geshpenst's Smash Beam. Despite the so much firepower, the Mechasaurus Dai still stands and starts swinging its tail on Ryoga and the others. Fortunately, Ryoga's group manages to stay clear from the giant tail.
"Darn it!" Koji grunted. "This monster is even more powerful than we thought!"
"Koji-kun! Koji-kun!" Koji receives a transmission from the Grendizer pilot. "Are you all right?"
"Daisuke-san!" Koji replied. "We're ok, here, but this monster needs to be taken out right now!"
"I know! Let's combine all our power to take it out!"
"Right! Let's give it all we've got!" Koji shouts as he gets his Mazinger Z ready for its next attack. "BREAST FIRE!!!!!"
"My turn!" Daisuke shouts. "KENJYURYOKU STORM!!!" From the V-shaped chest of Grendizer, a large beam with rainbow-like colors is fired and hits the Mechasaurus Dai. But the attacks from both Mazinger Z and Grendizer are not enough.
"Hayato! Musashi!" Ryoma calls them.
"I got you, Ryoma!" replied Hayato.
"Let's go!" shouted Musashi.
"OPEN GETT!" Hayato shouts as the Getter 2 separates itself.
"CHANGE GETTER 1, SWITCH ON!" Ryoma shouts as the Gett Machines combined into Getter 1 once again. Then, it flies up in the air and Ryoma shouts the name of its attack.
"GETTER BEAM~~~~!!" From the abdomen of Getter 1, a red beam made of pure Getter energy is fired and hits the Mechasaurus Dai. Now the two-headed fortress beast roars as it takes damage from three beam attacks.
"It seems to be working." Ryoga says as he watches.
"Right." Irmgardt agrees and gives out instructions to the others. "All units with projectile attacks, redirect fire on the enemy!"
Everyone complied with Irmgardt's instruction and all fire their projectile weapons on the Mechasaurus Dai. Even the white battleship and the brown mecha standing on its launch pad gave support fire. Only the Grungust Nishiki, Irmgardt's Gespenst, and the Bossborot did not attack, as they have no projectile weapons.
"This is not good, Lt. Irmgardt." Ryoga says as he observes the situation. "If the enemy does not fall from this one, its massive size can still change the outcome."
Irmgardt nodded. Because of the Mechasaurus Dai's massive size, it can still break away from the combined projectile attacks. If a victory is to be ensured, more firepower is needed. Irmgardt knows that only Ryoga's Grungust Nishiki can perform such an attack, if only Ryoga knows how to.
Then, the Mechasaurus Dai roared loudly as it takes more damage. But as Ryoga watches, suddenly, the mysterious feeling returned again. The next thing to happen, from Ryoga's eyes, the whole scenery changed.
"What...what is this?" Ryoga wondered as he looked around. What was once a forest was replaced with ruined buildings. The white blue sky turned into a dark, black night. And instead of seeing the Mechasaurus Dai being hit by projectile attacks, it was replaced by another robot - a Mobile Suit. As the Mobile Suit gets hit, Ryoga heard the scream of a woman. At the same time, Ryoga suddenly felt great pain in his head. And the pain gets stronger. Then, more pain is felt throughout his body. But it's not like the pain in his head. The pain in his body is felt as though a burst of flame is burning him from skin to bone within seconds.
"My body..." Ryoga tries to speak. "Why...am...I...in...pain? It's as if...It's as if..."
Ryoga then screamed aloud.
Suddenly, electricity surged throughout the cockpit. Several screens appeared showing a series of numbers and letters. Ryoga then tries to release his 'Rage of The Beast' in hopes of fighting against the pain. But the pain gets stronger and stronger. Ryoga tries hard, but the pain just gets worse. Then, out of desperation, Ryoga gave his all as he screams aloud. As he does so, a strange light surged throughout his body. His eyes then started to flash.
Outside, back in the world of reality, the Grungust Nishiki's eyes flashed as well as it slowly raises its arms forward. The rotating motors located on top of each of its shoulders began to spin. The near star-shaped chest began to glow an illuminating light. Irmgardt could not believe at what he sees.
Inside the cockpit of the brown robot, the pilot could not believe either at the sight of the Grungust Nishiki.
"No...it can't be..." said the pilot.
"...The Maxi Blaster!" said Irmgardt. "But how...and why...?" He then tries to communicate with Ryoga, but to no avail. Then, the same light that surged through Ryoga appeared and surrounded the Grungust Nishiki as the light from its chest gets brighter and brighter until finally, a huge bursting beam is blasted from the chest and hits the Mechasaurus Dai. The Mechasaurus Dai roared as it gets hit as the Maxi Blaster blasts through its body and even through the water. Then, after a moment of silence, the Mechasaurus Dai gives off a large explosion.
As the sky is covered in a thick layer of flame and smoke, electricity surged inside and out of the Grungust Nishiki. Then, the glowing eyes faded as it slowly leans back and falls hard on the ground. And Ryoga passes out.
------------
Part 5
Ryoga opened his eyes. All he sees is a white ceiling lit by a fluorescent lamp. Just by looking up to the ceiling is enough for Ryoga to know that he is no longer inside the cockpit of the Grungust Nishiki. When he looked at his right, he sees a table. Some fruits, cookies, and a beverage lay on the table. Not much of a hospital food, he thought, but at least not the same as the ones when he was confined to a hospital in his early age where the food served to him was the worst.
Then, Ryoga heard a sound of a door opened from his left. He turned his head and a woman entered a room. She wore a pink nurse outfit, yet the outfit seemed so skin-tight to her that he could easily notice 'something' erecting out of it from her chest. Ryoga made a big gulp as he stared right at her. The woman closed her eyes and traced her fingertips through her blue-colored hair, whose length is all the way down to her lower back. Her nose and lips were small and the color of her eyes is black. After grooming her hair, she slowly runs her hands around her pink shirt down under her bosoms, straightening her shirt out. The size of the woman's bosom really made Ryoga's eyes open wide. He then tries to resist the thoughts of perversion flowing through his mind. He knows very well that he has a huge weakness for women of beautiful figure, though Uriko, Rena, Hime, and Yui were exceptions as, despite the four having really attractive bodies, he was able to get along with them without his perverted thoughts getting in the way.
Then again, there's always the great philosopher Aristotle saying that, "One swallow does not make a summer".
Ryoga then suddenly caught himself off guard when the woman's eyes turned to his.
"Oh. You must be awake." She said.
"Um...I...ah..." Ryoga tries his best to say something as to give the woman the impression that he wasn't staring at her.
"Well? How are you feeling?" she asks as she slowly approaches him.
"Err...I'm...ok, I guess." He replied as he tries to lift himself up. But then, he felt a surge of pain tingling through his body and quickly falls back to his bed. He grits his teeth and grunted as he placed his hand on his chest where the pain hurt the most.
Then, he felt the woman's hand touching his.
"Now, now, take it easy," said the woman as she looked at Ryoga. As Ryoga looked back at her up close, he can clearly see her cleavage exposed at the lower portion of his eyes. Once more, his perverted thought tries to take over, but Ryoga tries his best not to fall into temptation and to narrow his eyes on her bosom. Instead, he tries to make a conversation.
"Where...am I?"
Suddenly, the woman's fingers touched his lips. "Don't speak for now. You're still in pain. You just relax, ok?"
Ryoga could feel his heart beating fast. The woman's beauty and gestures has really mesmerized him. Once more, his perverted thought tries to take over with a much stronger force. Ryoga tries to fight back by maintaining calm and cool and keeping his logic mind maintains its stand. But that slowly seems impossible when the woman slowly pulled down his blanket and starts unbuttoning his shirt.
"What...what are you...?"
"I told you not to speak."
Ryoga tried to reply by saying "I'm sorry." But he decides to follow the woman's instructions and kept quiet. He then shivered a bit as his chest is now fully exposed.
"Now, just close your eyes, relax, and take a deep breath, all right?" said the woman.
Ryoga does as he was told, but he then takes a deep breath the woman's hand touch his chest. The sensational feeling has made his perverted thoughts stronger than ever. The temptation has slowly taken over his mind. And the temptation is much stronger when her hands began to move very slowly over his chest. But all that came to a halt when the woman's fingers applied pressure to his chest. A surge of pain quickly replaced the sensational feeling and Ryoga grits his teeth and grunted. The woman ceased applying pressure and looks at Ryoga with concern.
"Does it hurt?" she asked.
Eyes still closed and gritting his teeth to fight the pain, Ryoga nodded.
"I'm sorry. I'll apply a lighter pressure for you, but I can't promise it'll not hurt." She said, then begins applying lighter pressure on his chest. Ryoga hands grasps on the cloth of his blanket as the he still felt the pain, but as the woman applies more pressure over time, the pain lessens and becomes comfort. Ryoga ceased gritting his teeth and made a sighed in relaxation. The woman smiled at him as her massage treatment for pain is working. After applying pressure on his chest, she then massaged his shoulders, arms, neck, and the head.
"There. All done." She said. "Feeling better?"
Ryoga opened his to look at her, smiled, and nodded. The woman smiled back, then helps Ryoga up.
"Can I speak now?" he asks.
"Yes, you can." She giggled. Ryoga wondered what she's giggling about, but he sticks to his previous question.
"Where am I? Am I at the Saotome Research Institute?"
"No. You're inside the sickbay of our battleship."
"Battleship? You mean I'm inside the White Base?"
"You know the White Base?" she asked surprised.
"Well, I never get to see it personally, but I've heard much about it from watching documentaries about the One-Year War and saw pictureds of it in class."
"Well, you are half correct."
"Half correct?" he wondered.
"The real White Base was destroyed at the end of the One-Year War. This is simply a replica of the White Base with some modifications such as increased space for cargo and such."
"I see..."
"We have not given an official name yet, but for now, you can it the 'White Base Kai'."
Then suddenly, the woman heard Ryoga's stomach grumble.
"Oh! You must be hungry!" she then takes a cookie from the table. "Here, open wide."
Ryoga opened his mouth as the woman fed him with a cookie. His eyes suddenly opened wide as he tasted the flavor of the cookie.
"Strawberry Jam filled cookies?" Ryoga spoke loudly. "They're my favorite!"
"Really? I'm glad!" she giggled. "Sorry though if this is what we can offer you. I'm afraid none of us here have a good knowledge of cooking."
"So these cookies are...?"
"We bought them whenever we stop by at shops. We mostly buy ready-to-eat foods or those that can be cooked by pouring in hot water."
"I see..."
"Oh! We haven't introduced ourselves yet! My name is Naomi Walters."
"The name's...Ryoga Kazehino."
"Ryoga...that's a nice name..." she smiles. "Anyway, Miss Mao wishes to see you if you're feeling all right. But let me feed you first before we go to the bridge." She then takes another cookie from the table. "Now say 'Aah...'"
After having cookies, fruits, and milk, Ryoga has left the sickbay. With the nurse Naomi as her guide, Ryoga proceeds to the bridge of the White Base Kai. When he and Naomi entered the room, his eyes and mouth opened wide in amazement as he looked around the large room.
"Wow..." he gasped. "I can't believe I'm inside the White Base..."
"I told you." Naomi replied. "This is only a-"
"A replica, I know. But still, it has almost the same features as the original White Base. So I'm really much excited that I get to be here."
"Kazehino-kun, we've been expecting you." Daiken called him.
"Oh. Lt. Daiken. Lt. Irmgardt."
"So, is this the one?" a woman sitting at the Captain's chair which is raised above asked before she lowers it. Her pink-colored hair reached down to the back of her neck, with bangs almost covering her left eye. Her spiky hair design can almost give one the impression that she's a male. She has pink eyes and from the design of her eyes, she seems to be Chinese. Her physical figure is slim as most. She wears a white shirt covered in a white jacket with dark red trim on her sleeves and a blue collar. For her lower body, she wears blue jeans and leather shoes. After lowering the chair down to the floor, the captain gets off and meets Ryoga with a smile.
"Greetings and welcome to my ship. My name is Lynn Mao."
"Please to meet you, Captain Mao. My name is--"
"Ryoga Kazehino. Irmgardt and Daiken told me much about you."
"I see..."
Then, he remained quiet.
"What's wrong?" Lynn asked.
"Well...I...um..." Ryoga tries his best to explain his silence. For the most part, he has a lot of questions to ask to Captain Mao, but since he's inside a battleship and talking to the Captain, he has no right to speak unless told to - at least that's what he knows when it comes to things concerning of being in the military. As he tries to make up an explanation, he stopped when he saw the captain giggle.
"Well, if you're nervous, don't be." Lynn told him. "We're not an army like the Federation or the Japanese Military so formality's thrown right out of the window. You're free to speak whenever you want to."
"Very well. As you wish, Captain." He replied.
"You're too modest. Well, I guess it can't be helped."
"I'm sorry."
"It's all right. Anyway, I can tell from your face that you have a lot of questions you want answered. I'll get straight to the point. I'm not only the Captain of this ship; I'm also the pilot of the Hückebein EX."
"Hu...ke...Hu..."
"It's Hück-e-bein. It's German."
"I see. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I could not get how it's spelled nor how it is pronounced."
"Well, if it really is that difficult for you, you can call it as 'Hyukebine'. At least that's how it is said in Japanese. I assume you call the mecha you pilot as the 'Grungust'?"
"Yes. Is that in German?"
"Well, not really."
"Huh?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know how to spell or even pronounce it in German either!" she giggled.
Ryoga was speechless at Lynn's response. The others inside the bridge simply turned their attention away from Lynn. After she looked at the situation, Lynn coughed as if trying to get back to her serious side and talks again to Ryoga.
"Well, aside from that, I'm also the head of Mao Industries."
"Mao Industries?" Ryoga replied as he remembered Professor Yumi mentioned the name before. "Then the Grungust Nishiki is..."
"The Grungust Type II is a project of Mao Industries in association with the Divine Crusaders and the Federation. While we have made the interior and exterior designs, many of the Grungust's special parts were from the DC and the funds for building it came from the Federation. The main purpose of building the Grungust Type II is for the Federation to observe its overall capabilities for possible mass-production of the unit for future use."
"I see…" Ryoga thought. "So the attack on Hokkaido…"
"We were supposed to begin a new series of tests of the Grungust's capabilities in a few days when the attack in Hokkaido happened. I've been informed of what happened when that event took place."
"I guess there's no room for apology for piloting a robot that is supposed to be in its top secrecy."
"The irony for that is, if it not for you piloting it, Baron Ashler would have been successful in capturing the Grungust Nishiki."
"So...what will happen to me now?"
"I've got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that we're not a military faction, though we have fighting units of our own, so you will not receive any punishment whatsoever. The bad news is that a device is installed within the Grungust Nishiki which allows the mecha only respond from the commands of its first pilot."
"So, you mean I'm the first pilot?"
"That's the strange part. You see Daiken was actually the first Grungust Type II pilot before you came along. And, it seems you've managed to master the unit's Basic Motion Control System, which allows you to move the Grungust as it were your very own body. What's even stranger is that you somehow managed to use the Grungust's weapons even though you're not a NewType."
"NewType?"
"It's a long story about it, but to make it simple, being a NewType is like being an Esper. You can communicate at great distances by thought alone. But you can only be one if you have spent a large portion of your life in space."
"In space? But I lived on Earth my whole life! I've never been to space!"
"That's what's puzzling me. My only hunch about this is that it may have something to do with one of the devices installed inside the Grungust Type II. Well, in any case, the test must continue and since the Grungust has chosen you, I ask that you remain here with us as the Grungust Nishiki's test pilot."
"Test pilot? Me?" surprised Ryoga.
"You must be joking, Captain!" Daiken protests. "He is only a boy and you want him to pilot a top secret robot!?!"
Lynn then turned to Daiken. "Lieutenant, I know how you feel about this. But we can't be sure if the Grungust will accept you as its pilot again. And with the forces like Dr. Hell now back at work, we need to get the tests done at the soonest possible time." She turns back to Ryoga. "I'm sorry, Ryo. But I ask that you be our official test pilot for the Grungust. You may return home once the tests are over."
At first Ryoga didn't like the idea of being a pilot as he is more worried on how his friends are doing after the event in Hokkaido. But seeing the current situation he is in, he has not much of a choice. For that he nodded back at Lynn in agreement.
"You've made a very wise decision, Ryo." Lynn said. From this point on until the end of the test, you will be our test pilot. Daiken will be your guide in both the tests and in your training of piloting the Grungust."
"Yes, Captain." Ryoga replied, though feeling a sense of guilt as he feels responsible to removing Daiken's position as Grungust Nishiki test pilot.
"Your test and training will begin as soon as we reached our next destination, which is the Japanese Army's Far East Base located near Tokyo. Until then, feel free to make yourself comfortable within the ship." Lynn then called on Naomi. "Naomi, will you please escort Ryo to where he'll be sleeping?"
"Ok, Captain." Naomi replied. "Let's go, Ryo-kun."
"All right." Ryoga replied and followed her. Before he left the room, he took one more look at Daiken, who is still upset over Lynn's decision. As they walked their way to Ryoga's quarters, they then met up with Koji and Sayaka.
"There you are!" Koji shouted.
"Koji-san! Sayaka-san! What are you two doing here?" Ryoga asked.
"Miss Mao has asked us to stay here and assist her in her mission." Sayaka answered
"Mission?"
"Well, I really don't know what the mission is all about. But we accepted anyway."
"Naomi? Does the mission mean the test on the Grungust Nishiki?"
"Well, that's just one of them." Naomi answered. "There are others missions but I'm afraid I'm in no position to tell those."
"I see..." Ryoga said. He then turned his attention back to Koji and Sayaka. "But, what of the Photo-Atomic Power Lab? Is it safe to leave the place by itself without Mazinger Z to defend it?"
"We've talked to Professor Yumi and he gave us full permission to stay here." Koji replied. "He says it's very important that we stay here and he looked so serious about it even though there is a risk Dr. Hell's goons will attack again."
"Koji-kun!" a voice was heard from the back. Three individuals, 2 young women and a young man approached Ryoga and the others.
"Daisuke-san! Hikaru-san! Maria-san!" Koji said.
"Do you know them, Koji-san?" Ryoga asked.
"They're from Professor Umon's Research Center." Koji answered. "Ryo-kun, I'd like to introduce to you my friend and Grendizer pilot..."
"Fleed. Duke Fleed." The Grendizer pilot interrupted. He had short brown hair and a face that almost suggests he is Japanese. Like Koji, his body is slim built, but slightly muscular. He also wears a cowboy's outfit minus the hat and boots.
"Duke Fleed? But why is Koji-san calling you 'Daisuke-san'?"
"'Daisuke' is the name I use here on Earth. Duke Fleed is my real name. It's kind of a long story to tell."
"I see..."
"I'm Hikaru Makiba. I'm the pilot of the Double Spacer. The white craft you saw in battle that linked with Grendizer," said the woman. Like Duke Fleed, she too wears a cowboy outfit. Her body is well built though she's slightly slimmer than Sayaka's. She too has brown, straight hair and eyes hat suggest she's Japanese, but from the way she speaks, it's almost like she is a natural cowgirl.
"And I'm Maria Grace Fleed. Duke's sister and pilot of the Drill Spacer." said the other woman in a skimpy blue outfit. Her hair is just as long as Sayakas only a little spiky and has almost the same built as hers. She then turns her attention to Koji with a smile on her face. "Koji-san. It's good to see you again."
Koji smiled back at Maria. Then suddenly realizes that Sayaka's with him. "Oh, by the way! I'd like to introduce..."
"There's no need, Koji-kun." Sayaka said in a slightly toned down voice. Then slowly approaches Maria and offers a handshake. "Hi. My name is Sayaka. Koji-kun has told me a lot about you."
"Ah! You must be Sayaka. Koji-san has told me a lot of good things about you." She said with a smile as she shakes Sayaka's hand. Sayaka smiled back.
"Well, I'm afraid I have to get going." Sayaka said.
"To where?" Koji asks.
"None of your business, Koji-kun!" she frowned, then turned her attention back at Maria. "Well, let's talk another time, all right?"
"All right." Maria replied. "I'll be looking forward to it."
"Well, see you!" said Sayaka as she then walks away from Koji and the others, much to Koji's confusion as to why she acted so...strange.
"By the way, Koji-kun," said Duke. "I've heard the Jet Scrander of Mazinger Z's been badly damaged when Count Brocken attacked the Photo-Atomic Power Laboratory."
"I'm afraid so, Daisuke-san." Koji replied. "I never thought Dr. Hell would get a hold of a Vega Beast as well as Mechasauruses under his command."
"So am I. Yet, we have no indication that Emperor Vega has finally come to Earth. Our only conclusion is that Dr. Hell may have access to the technologies of the Vega fleet we've taken out years ago and used it to upgrade his Metalbeast army alongside the Mechasauruses."
"Thus explaining their power."
"Correct."
"Um, excuse me..." Naomi interrupts.
"What is it?" asked Duke.
"Just a wild guess. But is it possible that one of the Spacers can dock on the back of Mazinger Z just like the Jet Scrander?"
"That's impossible!" said Koji. "The Grendizer and the Spacers are made of alien technology and does not support Photo-Atomic Energy. No way can any one of the Spacers dock onto Mazinger!"
"But Mazinger and Grendizer share some similarities despite the difference in technology." Naomi argues. "The punches, the chest beams, even the docking of the Double Spacer onto Grendizer are just like docking Jet Scrander onto Mazinger."
"Now that you mention it..." Hikaru thinks. "Mazinger and Grendizer do share some similarities. Maybe it is possible the Spacers can dock onto Mazinger."
"See?" Naomi snaps a finger. "Well, if you like, I can ask the Captain to stop over someplace so we can test the docking sequence if it works. If it does, Mazinger Z will be able to fly again until the new Jet Scrander is built."
"I guess it's worth a try." Says Koji, and soon after starts to yawn. "Well, I think I'll hit the sack for tonight. See you guys in the morning!"
Everyone then bid their goodnights and Naomi and Ryoga continued walking down the hall until finally, they reached a room. When the two entered, Ryoga noticed several nice decorations around the room. A Chinese vase full of flowers on a desk; beige-colored wallpapers; a soft, maroon-colored sofa; a soft bed fit for two covered in white sheet filled with heart patterns.
"Um...is this...your room?" Ryoga asked as Naomi walks ahead of him.
"Yes. And you're sleeping here." She replied with a smile. Ryoga's eyes opened wide when he heard that.
"M...me? Here? With you?" Ryoga said nervously. "But...I--" he got interrupted when Naomi tossed an extra blanket and pillow at him.
"Silly! You'll be sleeping on the sofa! I'm not that foolish to let you sleep beside me in bed!" she giggled.
"Oh. Ok..." Ryoga sighs with relief.
"Well, I'll still be doing something so why don't you go ahead and rest up?"
"All right. I'll be sleeping now."
"Very well." Naomi then walks through the door and looks back at him. "Sleep tight, Ryo."
"Um...goodnight." Ryo replied.
Shortly after she left the room, Ryoga lied down on the soft, comfortable sofa with the pillow Naomi gave him for his head and neck to rest on. As he looked up towards the ceiling, he began reminiscing about the events that happened to him from the event in Hokkaido up to his current situation onboard the White Base Kai. Then he could not help but wonder about the strange vision of the Mobile Suit being destroyed. And who was that girl that screamed? And what is the connection to how he managed to use the Grungust Nishiki's most powerful weapon before he passed out?
"I guess the only way to find out all this is to cooperate with them and finish the tests." He thought. He then made a sigh and slowly closed his eyes.
